Ok here it is. The next installment in the Hercule chap thingy. I'd like to
dedicate this chap to all my friends at SmallvilleTorch and for all the
reviewers. I have more reviews in only two chapters than I did for my other
fic!!!
Katt: So how have you all liked it so far?
Gohan: They've hated it
Katt: Quit the whining. You're not gonna get your way!
Gohan: I can try
Katt: Right. I'd like to thank Vegito044, Frying Pan of DOOM, Dragon Ball Z Freak, and soul 141, I, SSJ KNIGHT, majunor7, SetoKaiba, tiki111 and ObedienceSchoolDropout for all the reviews. Also, thanx for correcting my spelling errors.
Gohan: Disclaimer
Katt: Almost forgot. *In reporter-like voice.* this just in, it is official that I DO NOT own Dragon Ball Z. For more details watch GWN news, first at five.
Last time:
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. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________ Chapter 3: Pinkie the Mad Bull!!!
The day started with Hercule's wonderful singing of Shuta you Face. Someone threatened to throw last night's dinner at him but Gohan had already eaten it. It seamed like it would be a day just like yesterday until.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!" Screamed Videl, bursting into Katt and Jades tent. The two looked at her and started laughing. She had pink hair! Yes folks, pink hair! (Her hair is short in this, even if she doesn't know about Gohan)
"Well? What have you done to my hair?"
"We haven't done anything. Although now I wish we had!" Jade laughed.
"Your right. I can't think why we haven't pulled any pranks yet." She studied Videl for a moment. "However I think blue would be more her colour!" They started laughing again.
"I don't care what happens, YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!" Videl yelled as she stormed out of the tent.
~*~
"Ok landscape team! Today we're rock climbing. Won't that be fun!" Providence chirped. "Then after lunch were gonna visit the village near here. Legend has it that a shelter was built here a little boy knocked it down. We'll do some research on it and report what we find to the rest of the scouts!"
Now Gohan began to feel sick. This was not good. Dende had crossed the line! He began muttering under his breath "Kill Dende, kill Dende." Over and over. Meanwhile providence went on. "So lets get our bags and goooo CLIMBING!!!" Videl (who has mysteriously taken to wearing a baseball cap) had noticed a sick looking Gohan muttering under his breath.
"Uh Gohan? Are you sick or something?"
"Kill Dende, kill Dende."
"Hey Gohan?"
"Kill Dende, kill Dende."
"Gohan, hello? Earth to Gohan!"
"Kill Dende, kill Dende."
"HEY GOHAN!!!"
"What?"
"We're leaving!"
"Oh. Umm, ok then. L lets s go."
'What is he hiding?' Videl wondered. She was about to question him but Katt had latched her arm onto his and was half dragging him away. 'Damn that girl! I'll never learn the truth with HER in the way!'
~*~
Jade and Katt were behind the rest of the team, whispering about pranks they wanted to pull on the councillors that night. So far they had come up with 4. (Nope, I'm not telling til later!) Videl saw them whispering and walked over.
"What are you two whispering about? Gonna die my hair blue this time?" She asked angrily.
"I told you already! We didn't do it!"
"Yeah, leave Jade and me alone Pinkie!" Katt smirked.
"Don't call me that!"
"Why not, Pinkie?" Jade laughed
"DON'T CALL ME PINKIE!!"
"Ok we wont. Pinkie!" said Katt
"Pinkie, Pinkie, Pinkie!" Jade teased.
Videl looked angrier than a mad bull. She grabbed Katt's collar, held her in the air and whispered, "You. Stop pulling pranks, stop calling me 'Pinkie' and stay away from Gohan!"
"Why? Can't stand the thought that he likes me better than you?"
"It's not like that! Just stay away!"
She pushed Katt down and stormed off to where Sharpener, Erasa and Gohan were talking. After helping Katt up, Jade walked with her to their group. She laughed as Katt once more latched her arm around Gohan's. "Looks like you've got competition. Pinkie."
~*~
Dende watched Gohan from the lookout, laughing and drinking raspberry coke. (Raspberry fanta and coke mixed. Those who didn't know are barbarians! : P)
"Yes, yes! Run and hide! Dende will get you! *Evil laughter*"
"Uh, don't you think you've drunk enough of that?" Mr Popo asked.
"No! Dende wants more caffeine! *More evil laughter*"
"I better call New Namek and request a new guardian."
"Oooh yeah! I have an idea! Gohan prepare to meet your sayan side! *Even more evil laughter*"
Mr Popo sighed and went to water his flowers.
~*~
As Gohan walked with the group he heard a little voice inside his head. 'Why am I walking? I can fly you know, this isn't fit for a sayan warrior!' 'Who are you?'
'I'm you. Your sayan side.'
'Oh great I bet Dende sent you.'
'Yup'
'And I bet you're going to torment me all day.'
'Yup'
'And go on about mates.'
'That is my job.'
'Well do it quietly.'
'Ummmmm, no!'
'This is gonna be a long day.' (Very OOC isn't it :P)
"Hey Gohan! Wake up, we're here!"
"Oh really? Ha ha, I wasn't paying attention"
'She pretty all right but her strength isn't fit for a sayan.'
'Shut up!'
"Ok lets get climbing then."
"Gohan, have you even taken a look at what we're meant to be climbing?" Katt asked.
'Hmm, well she's strong but she doesn't have black hair or eyes. She needs black hair.'
'ARGH!'
Gohan had a look at the rock. It was really vertical but he could see handholds the others wouldn't have thought of. He was about to play dumb and say he was scared or something but his sayan side took over. With his eyes turquoise he exclaimed,
"Eh, that's not to hard. I could climb that."
"What? Nerd-boy climb that? You must be joking."
"Um, uh. I couldn't possibly do that. It's really high, and straight."
"You just said it would be easy." Videl smirked. He let something slip. And his eyes changed colour as well.
'She's strong. Stronger than the others, and she has black hair. Go for her.'
"Um, well. I meant that if the wind velocity was equal to half the hight and then divided by the rise of the rock face, I might be able to."
"Why do you have to leave everything to maths?" Erasa wined.
"That was science."
"Who cares? I wanna climb this thing!" Katt exclaimed. They all suited up and listen for further instruction.
"This is a 50 metre rock so you must wear safety gear. At the top we'll have a drink break before abseiling down." Providence told the group. They all began to attach themselves to harnesses. The climb had begun!
~*~
Jade and Erasa were the first to reach the top and were sitting under a shady tree. Erasa was shaking like a leaf. She was scared of heights so Jade had to drag her up. Then it was Katt and Videl's turn. They stared at each other for a while and then hooked their harnesses onto the ropes.
"I'll see you at the top." Videl smirked
"Don't keep me waiting too long." Katt replied.
And they were off. (Horse race :P) Racing up the mountain like their lives depended on it. Every now and then they stopped and glared at each other, but glaring wouldn't solve this contest. The rock was steep with very little foot holes so it was hard to climb, but the girls travelled with the speed of two demi-sayans on a sugar high! (Namely Goten and Trunks) But no one seamed to be winning this silent battle, and both girls were getting tired. Every movement became painful. When they finally did reach the top, neither of them had enough strength left to pull them up. That became Jade and Erasa's job. Once the competitors had caught their breath, the fighting started.
"You are so slow. I whooped your arse!" Katt said.
"As if! I beat you fair and square."
"Liar. You lost and you know it!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
Everyone stared as they both growled and prepared to fight. If it weren't for Jade and Erasa holding them back, they probably would have.
"Next time I'll get you!"
"Don't count on it Pinkie!"
"Leave me the hfil alone and stay away from Gohan." Videl practically whispered.
Gohan and Sharpener watched the fight from below, and Gohan picked up most of the conversation. "Next time I'll get you." "Don't count on it Pinkie" this was getting extreme. But what really surprised him was Videl saying "Stay away from Gohan." "Girls. They're always fighting about something. Probably me!" Sharpener gloated. "Why would she say something like that?" Gohan thought aloud.
"What? Nerd-boy you're really starting to scare me."
"Oh sorry. I was thinking out loud."
"Ok, for a second I thought you could hear what those two were saying."
"No, of course not! They're too high up."
"Lets make this interesting, nerd-boy. How about we race to the top?"
"No, I'd rather just climb."
"I don't blame you. I'd be scared to race against me too."
Gohan's sayan side didn't tolerate this. "I'm not scared. We race. Just don't come crying to me when you lose."
Although Sharpener was a bit shocked at Gohan's sudden mood swing, he was excited. Now he could prove to Videl he was the best! He hooked up his harness and got someone to be the judge. "On your marks. Get set. GO!!"
They raced up the rock as fast as Sharpener could go. Gohan (or should I say his sayan side) toyed with him a bit, just for fun. Then his human side managed to resurface. He slowed down. 'How could you race Sharpener? Do you want people to think you're a freak?'
'They won't if you win.'
'Shut up sayan side.'
'Not so fast.'
His sayan side (we'll call him SS) began to try and take control. It fought with Gohan, causing him to slip and fall. He was half way up. Twenty-five metres to be exact. Everyone watched in horror as he fell down, and bumped into the rock wall a few times. Then he landed on the ground with a thud.
"Gohan!" Cried Providence. Everyone on the ground crowded around and watched while Katt, Videl, Erasa and Jade looked on from above. (No pun intended) Providence pushed through the crowd and made her way to Gohan.
"Make way, make way. I know first aid!"
"Thanks but I don't need it." Gohan sat up and rubbed his head.
"You just fell 25 metres!"
"I'm fine. Really."
Providence checked him over and got the shock of her life. He was, indeed, perfectly fine. And SS had taken over again. "Um. Well then go back to camp and lie down. You need to rest at least." SS shrugged and walked off.
~*~
Later in the day when the whole group was up on the rock (bar Gohan, who's still at camp) Providence told them to all take a break and have some food and drink. Videl took a long swig of her bottle and spat the whole lot out!
"I'm going to get you for this Katt!" She screamed.
"What? What did I do?"
"It's vinegar!"
"You put vinegar in her drink bottle and didn't tell me?" Jade asked looking hurt.
"No, I would've let you know if I was going to do any prank. Which reminds me, code 33." (Ha, ha. I'm not gonna tell you what code 33 is til later!)
"Gotcha, Tonight?"
"Yup."
"Go away Pinkie, we didn't do anything."
"Don't call me Pinkie and stop pulling pranks on me!"
At this, the two people standing behind Videl cracked up laughing. The three girls turned because they didn't know anyone was behind them. One was a boy with dark hair and dark streaks. The other was a girl with lavender hair and blue highlights.
"Hi I'm Apollo and this is my sister Venus. My partner in crime." The guy said.
"Sorry but you guys crack me up. You think they did that?" His sister said.
"You should've seen the looks on your faces."
"Classic."
"Sweet."
They both laughed again. "I'll get you two!" Videl yelled as she stormed off.
"Hi I'm Jade and this is Katt. We're from Hercule scouts." "And those two are Erasa and Sharpener." "The guy who fell is Gohan." The two new people nodded. "Ok then. I hear from other scouts that you two are always pulling pranks. We'd love to hear your plans." Apollo said. So Katt and Jade explained code 33 and they all helped plan the pranks they would pull that night.
~*~
Later on, during lunch, Videl was having another question session with Gohan. "So how did you manage to fall without getting so much as a scratch Son Gohan?"
"Just lucky I guess."
"Lucky nothing. You're hiding something."
"No I'm not. What makes you think that?"
"Hey Videl, can I say something?" Sharpener asked timidly.
"Go ahead, I wont stop you."
"Well, on the rock, right before Gohan fell, his eyes kept changing colour!"
"WHAT!" Videl screamed! Gohan gulped.
"His eyes! They kept flashing from turquoise to black and back again."
"Oh really?"
"Leave Gohan alone! It was probably a trick of the light." Katt said protectively.
"Yeah. Trick of the light."
"Now lets go, we have to visit that ridiculous shelter today." Jade smirked as she said this.
Gohan gave a little yelp and then walked with the other group. He barley noticed himself boarding the bus. He was too shocked. Dende had forced him to go to the town he hadn't seen for years. It was the town of the cell shelter. He gave Krillin a brief look as he said to him, "Don't let it get to you. Remember, it was 7 years ago." Videl looked thoughtful but at the same time amused. Something happened to him in this place 7 years ago and she wouldn't rest until she knew.
Finally the bus got to the place of the shelter and all the scouts piled out. Gohan grew pale and began to sweat. He wasn't looking forward to this. Videl noticed the young demi-sayan and her smirk widened to match Vegeta's. 'He has been here before. I can tell because he's so nervous! Today I figure you out, Son Gohan.'
~*~
"Gohan, meet Apollo and Venus. They're going to be helping us with code 33 tonight!" Jade said proudly.
"Nice to meet you. So you're the ones who pulled the pranks on Videl?"
"You got it! I did the hair and Apollo did the vinegar." Venus explained. They all exchanged identical smirks and walked with the rest of the group to the Cell Shelter. Meanwhile, inside Gohan, SS was once again, trying to take control.
~*~
"Hi I'm Lime and I'll be your tour guide for today. Please follow me." A girl at the front of the group said. She sounded really bored. Gohan's head jerked up. Lime?!? This HAD to be Dende's doing. But he couldn't help feeling part glad. He had missed her.
"Now I want you to be very careful. A lot of the rubble is still around and it's very easy to get hurt. All questions will be answered at the completion of the tour. Follow me please." Lime lead the group around the place for a bit then explained some more.
"This is where the shelter was built but it was mysteriously blown up right before. Good thing really, it was weak and built by a lying son of a bitch. Now you may ask questions."
Not surprisingly Videl was the first to ask a question. "Is it true that a little boy knocked this shelter down with one hand?"
"The little boy was here and he helped prove that the builder was a lying *****. Anymore questions?"
"But isn't it true that he destroyed the shelter with a fancy light trick?"
"It's just a legend."
"But you were here weren't you? You should know!"
"Fine then! A demi-alien came and blew it up with his bare hands. Happy!"
"Do you expect us to believe that?" What Videl didn't notice was Gohan become very sweaty and nervous.
"Question time is over, feel free to look around!" Lime said in a very abrupt way. She was obviously pissed.
~*~
Gohan and Videl were paired up looking around to see what the shelter used to be made of when they saw Lime. She stopped fuming and mumbling about meaningless tours for a moment to stare at Gohan.
"Gohan?"
"Yeah its me."
"Oh I've missed you so much!" Lime cried, wrapping her arms around him. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you for 7 years! What happened to your hair?"
"Hey! One question at a time please!"
"Ok then," Videl said angrily, "If you've never been here before, how do you know Lime?"
"We go way back. I won't go into the details. It's so good to see you Lime!"
"Likewise. What are you doing here anyway?"
"Dende's seeing fit to my destruction."
"Poor bubby. Tell you what, I'll come along to camp with you and help take the pain."
Gohan, though glad to see Lime, was utterly shocked. Videl would plague her for questions, she'd be telling them all about his blonde hair, and all while trying to help. Dende couldn't get eviler. 'Curse you Dende, curse you!'
'Not a good idea to threaten me. I still hold your fate in my little green hands.'
'Not for long.'

"Yes Gohan. Much, much worse!" cackled an evilly drunk Dende. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________ Chapter 3: Pinkie the Mad Bull!!!
The day started with Hercule's wonderful singing of Shuta you Face. Someone threatened to throw last night's dinner at him but Gohan had already eaten it. It seamed like it would be a day just like yesterday until.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!?!" Screamed Videl, bursting into Katt and Jades tent. The two looked at her and started laughing. She had pink hair! Yes folks, pink hair! (Her hair is short in this, even if she doesn't know about Gohan)
"Well? What have you done to my hair?"
"We haven't done anything. Although now I wish we had!" Jade laughed.
"Your right. I can't think why we haven't pulled any pranks yet." She studied Videl for a moment. "However I think blue would be more her colour!" They started laughing again.
"I don't care what happens, YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!" Videl yelled as she stormed out of the tent.
~*~
"Ok landscape team! Today we're rock climbing. Won't that be fun!" Providence chirped. "Then after lunch were gonna visit the village near here. Legend has it that a shelter was built here a little boy knocked it down. We'll do some research on it and report what we find to the rest of the scouts!"
Now Gohan began to feel sick. This was not good. Dende had crossed the line! He began muttering under his breath "Kill Dende, kill Dende." Over and over. Meanwhile providence went on. "So lets get our bags and goooo CLIMBING!!!" Videl (who has mysteriously taken to wearing a baseball cap) had noticed a sick looking Gohan muttering under his breath.
"Uh Gohan? Are you sick or something?"
"Kill Dende, kill Dende."
"Hey Gohan?"
"Kill Dende, kill Dende."
"Gohan, hello? Earth to Gohan!"
"Kill Dende, kill Dende."
"HEY GOHAN!!!"
"What?"
"We're leaving!"
"Oh. Umm, ok then. L lets s go."
'What is he hiding?' Videl wondered. She was about to question him but Katt had latched her arm onto his and was half dragging him away. 'Damn that girl! I'll never learn the truth with HER in the way!'

"Don't call me that!"
"Why not, Pinkie?" Jade laughed
"DON'T CALL ME PINKIE!!"
"Ok we wont. Pinkie!" said Katt
"Pinkie, Pinkie, Pinkie!" Jade teased.
Videl looked angrier than a mad bull. She grabbed Katt's collar, held her in the air and whispered, "You. Stop pulling pranks, stop calling me 'Pinkie' and stay away from Gohan!"
"Why? Can't stand the thought that he likes me better than you?"
"It's not like that! Just stay away!"
She pushed Katt down and stormed off to where Sharpener, Erasa and Gohan were talking. After helping Katt up, Jade walked with her to their group. She laughed as Katt once more latched her arm around Gohan's. "Looks like you've got competition. Pinkie."
~*~
Dende watched Gohan from the lookout, laughing and drinking raspberry coke. (Raspberry fanta and coke mixed. Those who didn't know are barbarians! : P)
"Yes, yes! Run and hide! Dende will get you! *Evil laughter*"
"Uh, don't you think you've drunk enough of that?" Mr Popo asked.
"No! Dende wants more caffeine! *More evil laughter*"
"I better call New Namek and request a new guardian."
"Oooh yeah! I have an idea! Gohan prepare to meet your sayan side! *Even more evil laughter*"
Mr Popo sighed and went to water his flowers.
~*~
As Gohan walked with the group he heard a little voice inside his head. 'Why am I walking? I can fly you know, this isn't fit for a sayan warrior!' 'Who are you?'
'I'm you. Your sayan side.'
'Oh great I bet Dende sent you.'
'Yup'

Although Sharpener was a bit shocked at Gohan's sudden mood swing, he was excited. Now he could prove to Videl he was the best! He hooked up his harness and got someone to be the judge. "On your marks. Get set. GO!!"
They raced up the rock as fast as Sharpener could go. Gohan (or should I say his sayan side) toyed with him a bit, just for fun. Then his human side managed to resurface. He slowed down. 'How could you race Sharpener? Do you want people to think you're a freak?'
'They won't if you win.'
'Shut up sayan side.'
'Not so fast.'
His sayan side (we'll call him SS) began to try and take control. It fought with Gohan, causing him to slip and fall. He was half way up. Twenty-five metres to be exact. Everyone watched in horror as he fell down, and bumped into the rock wall a few times. Then he landed on the ground with a thud.
"Gohan!" Cried Providence. Everyone on the ground crowded around and watched while Katt, Videl, Erasa and Jade looked on from above. (No pun intended) Providence pushed through the crowd and made her way to Gohan.
"Make way, make way. I know first aid!"
"Thanks but I don't need it." Gohan sat up and rubbed his head.
"You just fell 25 metres!"
"I'm fine. Really."
Providence checked him over and got the shock of her life. He was, indeed, perfectly fine. And SS had taken over again. "Um. Well then go back to camp and lie down. You need to rest at least." SS shrugged and walked off.
~*~
Later in the day when the whole group was up on the rock (bar Gohan, who's still at camp) Providence told them to all take a break and have some food and drink. Videl took a long swig of her bottle and spat the whole lot out!
"I'm going to get you for this Katt!" She screamed.
"What? What did I do?"
"It's vinegar!"
"You put vinegar in her drink bottle and didn't tell me?" Jade asked looking hurt.
"No, I would've let you know if I was going to do any prank. Which reminds me, code 33." (Ha, ha. I'm not gonna tell you what code 33 is til later!)
"Gotcha, Tonight?"
"Yup."
"Go away Pinkie, we didn't do anything."
"Don't call me Pinkie and stop pulling pranks on me!"
At this, the two people standing behind Videl cracked up laughing. The three girls turned because they didn't know anyone was behind them. One was a boy with dark hair and dark streaks. The other was a girl with lavender hair and blue highlights.
"Hi I'm Apollo and this is my sister Venus. My partner in crime." The guy said.
"Sorry but you guys crack me up. You think they did that?" His sister said.
"You should've seen the looks on your faces."
"Classic."
"Sweet."
They both laughed again. "I'll get you two!" Videl yelled as she stormed off.
"Hi I'm Jade and this is Katt. We're from Hercule scouts." "And those two are Erasa and Sharpener." "The guy who fell is Gohan." The two new people nodded. "Ok then. I hear from other scouts that you two are always pulling pranks. We'd love to hear your plans." Apollo said. So Katt and Jade explained code 33 and they all helped plan the pranks they would pull that night.
~*~
Later on, during lunch, Videl was having another question session with Gohan. "So how did you manage to fall without getting so much as a scratch Son Gohan?"
"Just lucky I guess."
"Lucky nothing. You're hiding something."
"No I'm not. What makes you think that?"
"Hey Videl, can I say something?" Sharpener asked timidly.
"Go ahead, I wont stop you."
"Well, on the rock, right before Gohan fell, his eyes kept changing colour!"
"WHAT!" Videl screamed! Gohan gulped.
"His eyes! They kept flashing from turquoise to black and back again."
"Oh really?"
"Leave Gohan alone! It was probably a trick of the light." Katt said protectively.
"Yeah. Trick of the light."
"Now lets go, we have to visit that ridiculous shelter today." Jade smirked as she said this.
Gohan gave a little yelp and then walked with the other group. He barley noticed himself boarding the bus. He was too shocked. Dende had forced him to go to the town he hadn't seen for years. It was the town of the cell shelter. He gave Krillin a brief look as he said to him, "Don't let it get to you. Remember, it was 7 years ago." Videl looked thoughtful but at the same time amused. Something happened to him in this place 7 years ago and she wouldn't rest until she knew.
Finally the bus got to the place of the shelter and all the scouts piled out. Gohan grew pale and began to sweat. He wasn't looking forward to this. Videl noticed the young demi-sayan and her smirk widened to match Vegeta's. 'He has been here before. I can tell because he's so nervous! Today I figure you out, Son Gohan.'

"Gohan, meet Apollo and Venus. They're going to be helping us with code 33 tonight!" Jade said proudly.
"Nice to meet you. So you're the ones who pulled the pranks on Videl?"
"You got it! I did the hair and Apollo did the vinegar." Venus explained. They all exchanged identical smirks and walked with the rest of the group to the Cell Shelter. Meanwhile, inside Gohan, SS was once again, trying to take control.

"Hi I'm Lime and I'll be your tour guide for today. Please follow me." A girl at the front of the group said. She sounded really bored. Gohan's head jerked up. Lime?!? This HAD to be Dende's doing. But he couldn't help feeling part glad. He had missed her.
"Now I want you to be very careful. A lot of the rubble is still around and it's very easy to get hurt. All questions will be answered at the completion of the tour. Follow me please." Lime lead the group around the place for a bit then explained some more.
"This is where the shelter was built but it was mysteriously blown up right before. Good thing really, it was weak and built by a lying son of a bitch. Now you may ask questions."
Not surprisingly Videl was the first to ask a question. "Is it true that a little boy knocked this shelter down with one hand?"
"The little boy was here and he helped prove that the builder was a lying *****. Anymore questions?"
"But isn't it true that he destroyed the shelter with a fancy light trick?"
"It's just a legend."
"But you were here weren't you? You should know!"
"Fine then! A demi-alien came and blew it up with his bare hands. Happy!"
"Do you expect us to believe that?" What Videl didn't notice was Gohan become very sweaty and nervous.
"Question time is over, feel free to look around!" Lime said in a very abrupt way. She was obviously pissed.
~*~
Gohan and Videl were paired up looking around to see what the shelter used to be made of when they saw Lime. She stopped fuming and mumbling about meaningless tours for a moment to stare at Gohan.
"Gohan?"
"Yeah its me."
"Oh I've missed you so much!" Lime cried, wrapping her arms around him. "Where have you been? I haven't seen you for 7 years! What happened to your hair?"
"Hey! One question at a time please!"
"Ok then," Videl said angrily, "If you've never been here before, how do you know Lime?"
"We go way back. I won't go into the details. It's so good to see you Lime!"
"Likewise. What are you doing here anyway?"
"Dende's seeing fit to my destruction."
"Poor bubby. Tell you what, I'll come along to camp with you and help take the pain."
Gohan, though glad to see Lime, was utterly shocked. Videl would plague her for questions, she'd be telling them all about his blonde hair, and all while trying to help. Dende couldn't get eviler. 'Curse you Dende, curse you!'
'Not a good idea to threaten me. I still hold your fate in my little green hands.'
'Not for long.'
