Sorry for taking so long. I had sooo many things to do at school!! Anyway.
This chapter is dedicated to my muse, Sakura, because she gave me the idea.
Sakura is a blue spectrum cat, who sits on my shoulders around my neck.
Katt: Due to the fact that the rest of the week follows a similar pattern to day one, I'm gonna skip straight to the camp on Friday. Enjoy!
Gohan: How could anyone enjoy torturing me?
Katt: How could anyone not?
Gohan: You're al barbarians!
Katt: That we are, my friend. That we are!
Gohan: Just do the disclaimer!
Katt: The day this becomes an episode is the day I own DBZ! Anyway, if I owned it I wouldn't be writing fan-fic. I mean, only fans write that not owners!
Gohan: WE GET THE POINT!
Katt: *hits Gohan with Frying Pan of Doom*
Last time:
"Well count me in Kitty!" Gohan laughed.
"Kitty?" Jade inquired, giving them weird looks.
"Don't ask." Katt replied.
"I don't want to!" But she snickered at Katt and smiled sweetly at Gohan. For some reason, Dende had gotten the idea that Jade would enjoy teasing the two, and had promptly put that idea into her head!!
Chapter 2: The Torture Begins!!!
The rest of the week was boring and followed the same suite as day one. Katt and Jade pulling pranks, Videl trying to interrogate Gohan and the rest of the Lunar Team completely clueless. Finally Friday came and it was time for the camp. At 7 in the morning, all of the scouts had gathered outside the big blue building and were waiting for the bus.
"Morning Jade. Morning.Hey Kitty, you look terrible!" Gohan exclaimed. He was right. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were puffy.
"It's too early! I haven't had my morning dose of caffeine yet." Katt whined.
Jade laughed and nudged her in the ribs. "Excuses, excuses. I bet you just slept in!"
"Shut up! I don't want Gohan to know that!"
"Oooh! Really!"
"What are you getting at?"
The 2 continued to argue playfully until the bus arrived. When it did, Gohan grabbed the girls who had just started a shoving contest, and pulled them towards the bus. What a surprise Dende had left for him there! Just before he reached the bus he realised who was driving. A short-baled guy laughed at him. (3 guesses whom) It was Krillin! (Who DIDN'T guess? *one hand goes up* Oh these non-DBZ fans.*sweatdrop*)
"Hey Gohan! I never knew you'd be here."
"Umm same to you."
"Aren't you gonna introduce me to your friends?"
"Um. Jade, Sharpener, Kit.Katt, Eraser and Videl. One question, why are you here?"
"Well the bus driver came down with a mysterious flu so they called me in."
"Can you drive?"
"I don't have a license but I know what I'm doing."
"Dende you're gonna get it!"
Not a good thing, threatening Kami, Son Gohan. Strongest in the world or not!
They piled onto the bus. Gohan and co. stole the back seat. Gohan thought it would be best to stay as far away from Krillin as possible. When they had gotten on, Jade opened a capsule of munchies and the whole group feasted. (Except Son Gohan but he managed to control his eating) Once the snacks were finished Gohan did some meditating, although it just looked like he'd fallen asleep. This is great! Thought Katt as she took photos of the 'sleeping' Gohan.
~*~
When they got to the camp Jade, Gohan and Katt all let out a cry of disappointment.
"I don't believe it! A week without showers!" cried Jade
"A week without coffee!" cried Katt
"A week without food!" cried Gohan.
The girls stared at him.
"Don't you think you're being a bit eccentric? I know camp food sucks but you're not going to starve!" Jade laughed.
"I'm gonna starve." Gohan said.
Katt and Jade sweat dropped and went to get their bags from the back of the bus. Then they all went to the centre of the campsite where Hercule was standing, as well as a few other councillors.
"Now that you're all here I should explain some things. There will be two people tent. You must stay with your own team. Now hurry up and pitch your tents!" Hercule blabbed.
"Hey Videl, wanna share a tent with me?" Sharpener smirked. Videl growled and clenched her fists but before she could say or do anything, Katt punched him out.
"Yes! K.O.!" They all stared at her bar Jade. "What? I do kick boxing." (To tell you the truth, I only just started and I'm not very good)
Whether they believed her or not they stopped staring and went to pitch tents. Katt shared with Jade, Videl with Eraser and Gohan with Sharpener. Once the tents were pitched they went back to the centre of the clearing to hear Hercule blab again.
"Since your tents are pitched I should explain the rules. Today will be a free day to get used to the camp and it's surroundings. There will be no swimming in the lake. No stealing food and NO wandering off. We're somewhere in the 537 mountain area so it's very easy to get lost."
Gohan paled. That was way to close to home. With an inquisitive Videl and a super sayan little brother it would be hard to protect his identity. Then he remembered something. This was where the old shelter was built! The one he had destroyed 7 years ago. Hopefully he wouldn't see that horrible place again. (Not that the place was horrible, he just couldn't bare the memories.)
"Gohan? What's up? You look sick!" Jade asked.
"No, I'm fine. Lets explore the camp a bit." They all bought it, bar Videl.
"Don't you live near here? 439-mountain area? She asked.
"Somewhere close by......But I've never been here before!" he added quickly. Videl raised her eyebrows and the 6 went off exploring until dinner.
~*~
At dinner, the food was like normal camp food. In other words, not fit for dogs. It was some sloppy meat like substance closely resembling shepherds pie. They all ate a small amount and fed the rest to the fire. All except Gohan that is, who ate 5 plates in the same amount of time and then complained that there wasn't enough food to go around. The rest of the group stared.
"Uh, Gohan? Won't you get sick eating so much.. crap?" Jade asked.
"What do you mean? I'm starving!" Everyone sweat dropped animae (sp?) style.
"Hey I have an idea! Lets all have a party tonight. I've got some snacks left, we can come into my tent and chill." Katt said excitedly.
"Yeah, I, like, have some, like, music. We could, like, so have fun!" Eraser chirped.
"Hey Videl, maybe when these morons are fooling around we can go into my tent. Just the 2 of us?" Sharpener asked slyly.
This got him another punch from Katt. "I hate jerks. Despite who they are."
"Perhaps you don't know, but I can take care of myself!" Videl said angrily.
"Yeah, she's like, Hercules daughter!"
"I'm so sorry your majesty. I was unaware of your impressive lineage!" Katt said sarcastically giving Videl a mock bow and salute. Videl growled, Katt narrowed her eyes, but Jade and Eraser held the girls back so the couldn't kill each other.
"Uh, right. Well let's go and have that party hm?" Gohan laughed scratching the back of his head in a manner very much like Goku. The party went well except for a councillor breaking it up earlier that expected and the lunar team wet to sleep.
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by.
Gohan: Technical difficulties? You mean you can't think of what to write next.
Katt: No, I just can't decide whether to end the chapter now or later.
Gohan: End it!
Katt: In that case.
Thank-you for waiting. Chapter 2 - the torture begins will now continue!
The next morning, Gohan woke up early and walked casually around camp when he noticed a familiar ki. He looked up and sure enough, there was Krillin flying and training.
"Krillin? What are you still doing here?"
"Training." He said hovering lower to talk.
"I can see that, but shouldn't you be at home with 18 or something?"
"Well the bus driver is sick remember. There are gonna be more bus trips to go on before the week is up so I'm staying here in a capsule home."
"Oh great."
"Lighten up. It won't be that bad!"
"If Dende has anything to do with it, it'll be worse."
"Well, try to enjoy yourself."
"Um Krillin?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't fly while you're here. These people aren't used to it."
"Ok. Now go, some girl over there is waiting for you." He smirked while Gohan blushed.
"Don't you dare!" then he turned "Coming kitty!" he called and ran off.
~*~
Aside from Gohan, Katt and Eraser, the campers woke to the sound of Hercule singing Shuta your Face in a really bad Italian accent. Then he started shouting. "Breakfast time! Get your sorry buts out here!"
Everyone groaned went to get breakfast. There was cold toast, runny eggs and really cheap cereal. Most people ate only out of hunger and the gagged it up after. Not our favourite demi though, who ate 10 bowls of rice puffs, half the toast and all of the eggs. (No1 else was brave enough to touch them.) Then they gathered in the centre of the clearing to hear Hercule rant about the day's events.
"Now all you kids are gonna be put into 5 groups with the rest of the scouts here. You shall be given a group name and you will earn points for this group due to your performance and behaviour. Now shut up and listen to me! The brilliant Hercule!"
Hercule began calling out groups and councillors. 'Team Solar go to councillor B' and such. The lunar team got placed with councillor C as well as 'Mountain' from the Raven Scouts and 'Ocean' from the bear scouts. When they got to the councillor, a bubbly girl with red hair, (think of Gohan's black-mail date), she began to give a detailed explanation of what they were going to do.
"Hello campers and welcome to your new team, The Dragons!!! My name's Providence and I'm your councillor for your time here at regional camp. The first thing we're going to do today is go on an orienteering course. Then we'll get back for lunch. After lunch we have a professional baseball player coming to teach us some skills, then it's free time, dinner and songs by the campfire! Won't that be fun!"
Gohan sighed. This wasn't so bad. Why did he let Krillin get him worried? He grabbed his backpack and the group set off.
"You know, this is REALLY boring!" Jade complained.
"Yeah it's, like, so bad! I, like, hate it here. It's, like, so, like, dirty." (Do I have to say who said that?)
"It's not so bad. It might make you stronger!" Gohan said matter-of-factly
"Yeah, you're gonna need it nerd boy!" Sharpener jeered.
They stopped for a drink break. Videl sat on a log and glared at Gohan. He's not even getting tired! How could such a skinny little nerd have so much energy? Then Eraser spoke up.
"Um.like.. where are we?"
"Eraser! You were supposed to be using the map!" Katt cried
"I was? Oops. I just thought we were walking 'round the place." Everyone groaned and sweatdropped.
"Hey don't worry. I'll climb a tree and see if I can see the campsite." Katt said.
Gohan was about to question the safety of this but Katt had already started climbing. She looked for a while then pointed out in the distance.
"There's the camp. It's not too far away."
She started to climb but a strong wind blew. To keep a long story short she sprained her ankle and Gohan agreed to carry her back to camp. (I'm lazy so sue me? *a million lawyers run at her* I didn't mean literally!!)
Gohan picked up Katt and the six began walking back. Videl glared at the girl in Gohan's arms. 'This is not good. She's gonna ruin everything!' Katt noticed Videl glaring at her and began thinking 'I think she likes Gohan here! I could use that to torment her!' She smirked and put an arm around Gohan's neck.
~*~
Lunch was boring. On to baseball!
The group stood on the baseball diamond waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Did I mention they were waiting? Finally Providence said
"Here he is, folks! The Baseball Bandit!" Everyone cheered as out walked.
"..YAMCHA!! cried Gohan
"Gohan, bro, what are you doing here?"
"It's all kasaan's doing."
"Trust Chi to do something like that. You've grown. I haven't seen you since..well you know."
Gohan's face fell. "Yeah. I can't believe it's been seven years."
"Hows the rest of the gang?"
"Oh there ok. Vegeta's bent on making Trunks stronger than me and Krillin's here. You know he married Android 18? They have this adorable girl named Marron, but anyway. I haven't seen Dende for a while but when I do he's dead."
"*laughs* Well make sure Mr Popo isn't in the way."
"Um.. we should probably get going."
"Oh yeah! Sorry 'bout that folks. Just catching up."
The whole group stared. Videl was the first to speak.
"YOU KNOW YAMCHA?!? THE BASE BALL BANDIT!!!" (I'm sure you can guess how the afternoon ended. Same as most torture fics 'you know him on a first name basis.')
~*~
Finally day one was over. The whole camp was sitting around the campfire eating marshmallows and singing bad songs. A few performances, some karaoke and 50 bags or marshies later, it was time for bed. Gohan new that tomorrow was gonna be worse.
"Yes Gohan. Much, much worse!" cackled an evilly drunk Dende.

Katt: What a nice long chapter. I feel so proud!
Gohan: This fic is just weird
Katt: You got that right
Gohan: Whatever. Please review and tell Katt to stop writing.
Katt: No way! Review yes. Flame no. There are some surprises coming.
Gohan: Dende help me!
Katt: Why? He got you into this mess in the first place!
Katt: Due to the fact that the rest of the week follows a similar pattern to day one, I'm gonna skip straight to the camp on Friday. Enjoy!
