La de da.. Okay now that I've got your attention. I'll write the next
chapter.
A sloppy grin was plastered to his face as Goku looked at his opponent. The girl was standing bravely, head held high as she refused to meet his eyes. She knew who she was up against, had heard of his reputation and understood her chances of winning, but she hadn't back down. Her hands balled into fists as she waited for the fight to begin.
Yes, Goku thought, Gohan has really found a winner in this girl; she's got spunk.
As their match began Videl circled her still smiling opponent warily, looking for the least embarrassing way to lose. She knew that she was a very capable fighter but she also knew exactly who her opponent was. Given his track record there was almost no hope of her winning.
She gave an exaggerated sigh of frustration, she wanted to win, wanted it so badly she could almost taste it, but here she was and the only thing she could do was curse fate for putting her here.
Videl could see his shoulders shaking slightly as he tried not to laugh. He found this whole situation funny, that fact was as plain as day and she could almost hate him for it, him and that stupid little grin of his. To be perfectly honest, his entire personality grated on her nerves. Of course he didn't know that, Videl snickered to herself, not even Gohan knew how she really felt about his father but then he wasn't very astute at times.
She saw her father out of the corner of her eye, he was standing proud and smug, his usual self. Videl was surprised he had survived his match, the blonde was stronger then she looked. Some how he had conned his way into winning and she wished she knew how he'd done it so she could do it too.
She looked back at Goku, he didn't seem like he was in any hurry move. It was up to her then.
With a quick intake of breath, she charged. Arm held back for a solid punch. She was shocked when it made contact, she had expect him to dodge. His face turned slightly with the force of her blow but he continued to smile.
'So what if I don't win,' she thought,' I'm going to knock the stupid grin off of his face at least.'
So she attacked, driving more blows towards his face then anywhere else, of course he blocked most of them. After a few minutes he began to fight back, throwing his fair share of kicks and punches.
The crowd loved it. Their hoots and hollers filled the arena, cheering the competitors on. Videl knew they had put on a good show and was willing to let it end but only after she got one more shot in.
She faked a jab to his shoulder and as he ducked she swung her leg directly at his face. Her foot slammed into his jaw, sending him reeling backwards but as he landed his own foot slammed into her. The force combined with her own momentum sent her straight out of the ring.
Goku looked bewildered as the announcer called the match. He sat fingering his jaw, watching the now smiling Videl stand up and dust herself off. She gave him a cheerful little wave and walked to the exit. After a second he followed, still moving his sore jaw.
When he reached the rest of the fighters he looked at her and asked out loud," Was it just me or was she going for my face?"
"Awe, dad, you're imagining things," Gohan gave him a pat on the back," why would she want to do that."
Why indeed, Videl chuckled beneath her breath, at least he's not smiling now.
And that's the end of that chapter. I'm sorry it took so long to update, I hit a bit of writer's block but thanks to some people (who shall remain anonymous) I'm back to writing. I know this chapter was a little short but I promise the next one will be better and if any one out there wants to I'm in desperate need of a beta reader. Thanks bunch's everyone. ^^
