Hey-hey, and welcome once again to Hercule Scouts. This is the first chat where I use the ideas you give me. Since I've only had one idea, #person# you get your wish! More nightmares are waiting for you inside so read, review and help me torture Gohan!!!

Videl: Hi everyone!

Gohan: What are you doing here?

Videl: Katt told me she was torturing you so I decided to watch.

Gohan: Darn. Well try not to like it too much.

Katt: Special thanks to: Vegeta-513 Frying Pan of DOOM SetoKaiba and Tiki111 Who reviewed the latest chapter. I am using your idea Tiki111!!!

Videl: Shouldn't you be doing a disclaimer or something?

Katt: That I shall. DBZ is not mine and it never has been so all you evil lawyers can just go home.

Videl: Brilliant

Katt: Thank-you.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Last time:

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.' *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Chapter 4: The Trouble With Siblings

It was 11:00 at night. Apollo, Gohan and Venus were all in Jade and Katt's tent, acting on code 33. The pranks on Hercule! They had all the supplies. Makeup, shaving cream, whipped cream, food dye, hair dye and hair straightener. This was going to be good.

"Apollo, report." Jade said. Apollo had been appointed General.

"Ok, Katt and Venus on makeup patrol, Jade, you're on toothpaste duty and Gohan and I are on hair replacement surgery. Everyone set?" He asked the group.

"We should wait a bit more. He might still be awake." Gohan suggested.

The others agreed, just to be safe, so they sat talking for a while.

"So Katt, what does your name mean?" Venus asked.

"Something like purity, I think. What about you?"

"Goddess of love!"

"I have no idea what my name means." Apollo complained. "What about you Jade?"

"Precious stone. Pretty neat huh!"

"Yeah true. What about you Gohan?" Venus said.

"Um.well."

"Oh come on. It can't be that bad. Did you know that Videl means 'devil in disguise'?" Katt stated.

"It means.Itmeansfriedrice." Gohan mumbled.

"It means *inaudible mumble* what?" Jade asked.

"It means fried rice."

The whole tent cracked up laughing.

"How'd you end up with a name like that?" Apollo teased.

"Well my grandfather's name was Gohan and my dad loved food so." He trailed off.

"Oh ok then." Jade laughed.

"It's about time we put code 33 to action!" Venus said excitedly.

"Suited up and ready for action!" Katt said, giving a mock salute. And off they went.

~*~

The next morning the camp awoke to Hercule's singing of Shuta your Face in his worst Italian accent. All except 5 people who were tired enough to sleep through that torture. Gohan only woke up when Sharpener punched him.

"Hey nerd-boy. Wake up you really should see this!"

"Huh? What?"

"Check out Hercule."

"HERCULE! I almost forgot!" Gohan cried, bolting upright in bed. He peaked out the window to get the first glimpse of code 33 in sunlight.

There stood the mighty champion. His afro had been straightened so that it stood up in a long, flat circle over his head. It was also bright blue. His face was covered in half smudged make-up and his teeth were red. The whole camp was laughing.

"What's so funny?" Hercule asked.

"Uh, Hercule, maybe you should look in a mirror or something." One of the councillors laughed.

Hercule ran into the councillors' capsule bathroom. A few seconds later a giant scream was heard, followed by a "Mummy! Help!" With this, all the camp burst into hysterical fits of laughter.

~*~

Gohan and the rest of the pranksters sat down eating breakfast and discussing whom they were going to get next. "I know! I have the best idea!" Gohan said excitedly.

"Really? Who?" Katt asked.

"Krillin!"

"The bus driver?" Asked Jade.

"Why would you want to get him?" Asked Venus.

"Call it revenge." Gohan said evilly.

"Fine by me." Apollo said. So they began to plan how they were going to get him.

"What are you guys up to?" Videl asked suspiciously. She sat down at the table with Lime, Sharpener and Erasa in toe.

"Uh, nothing Videl. Why would you think that?" Gohan lied.

"Well if I know you, and I do, your planning more pranks."

"Uh, well, um." Gohan began to stutter. A little voice cut him off

"Heya! Watcha doing?" A small boy with light brown hair and grey-green eyes asked.

"ARGH! I told you, while we're here I don't know you!" Katt exclaimed.

"Uh, who's that?" Lime asked.

"That's my LITTLE brother, Joshua." Katt said, putting emphasis on the word little.

"The names Jad and I'm NOT little." Jad complained.

"You're four years younger than me!"

"So?"

"ARGH! I don't know you."

"Hi Katt. Why Katt, nice to see you. Hello there big sister." Jad teased.

Katt began rubbing her temples and muttering nonsense words under her breath while Jade found it hard not to crack up laughing. Jad's taunting continued.

"Why Katt, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends? I know Jade, but what about the rest? And who's this Gohan guy you keep talking about?"

"Fine. Jad, meat Videl, Gohan, Apollo, Venus, Sharpener, Erasa and Lime."

"Lime? As in lemon and lime? Hey Erasa, what type of name is that? Do you have a brother called paperclip? What about you Sharpener? Got a sister named Stapler?"

"Stop insulting my friends!" Katt practically screamed.

"Ok, ok. I think you've had enough torturing.for now! *Evil laughter*"

Jad walked off, still chuckling slightly. Jade, who couldn't hold it any longer, burst into fits of hysterical laughter.

"HA! That was *laughs* so funny! *Laughs* I can't believe *laughs* he actually did that! *Fits of hysterical laughter*"

"Shut up! My head hurts I need a coffee." Katt complained.

"Quit you wining and lets scat. We're supposed to meet Providence now." Jade informed the group. They all stood up and walked over to the area in which the chirpy Providence was standing.

~*~

"Ok team! Today we're going on a looooong wilderness retreat! Then after that you all have to practice an item of two you can do at the concert on our last night here."

"DAMN!" yelled Videl "I forgot we had a concert!" Providence paid no attention and kept going.

"Then after dinner we're taking a special visit to the observatory to look at some old solar systems and stars and stuff. Now that you know today's events, lets get started!"

The whole team got their hiking packs and began to set off into the woods. Gohan was having another argument with SS and Videl was interrogating Lime.

"So Lime, how much do you know about Gohan?"

"Well I met him 7 years ago when he came to my village to by some things off my grandpa. He also helped chop wood and stuff."

"Really? So he has been there before! And around the time of the cell games too."

"Yeah! But he looked different then."

"Really? How?"

"Well his hair was blonde. Also his eyes were."

"I think you've said enough Lime." Gohan cut in.

"What! I haven't finished my interrog.question session yet." Videl complained.

"We can talk later. Now I want to know about this concert." Lime said excitedly. Videl grinned

"Every year, we get into teams of 3-5 and do a performance of some sort. This can be a play, dance, karaoke or something of your own design. Sounds like fun hey?"

"Yeah it does! I know, how about we all go in a group!"

"We can't. Too many people."

"I know. I'll go in a group with Apollo and Sharpener, and you girls can go in another group." Gohan suggested. They all agreed to this and began to continue the walk.

~*~

Some time later, Gohan was trying to explain the concept of Pythagoras to his group when he sensed something weird.

"Ok, so the hypotenuse of a right angle is equal to the. Oh no! Oh kami no!" He cried!

"What? What is it?" Questioned Venus.

He didn't answer but began to count down. "3, 2, 1"

"GOHAAAAAN!!!!" came the cry of two excited chibis. They seemed to appear out of nowhere to the other members of the group, and clung to Gohan like glue.

"Hi Goten. Hi Trunks." Gohan said, unenthusiastically.

"Who are these cuties?" Erasa asked.

"My little brother Goten and his best friend Trunks."

"Oh hi. I'm Erasa, nice to meet you!" She pinched their cheeks.

"How'd you get here so fast?" Videl asked.

Trunks nearly laughed. "Easy. We just used super."

Gohan clamped a hand over his mouth. "Trick of the light, that's all. What are you doing here squirt?"

"I'm helping Trunks's mum!"

"Shut up Goten. We're not supposed to say anything!"

"Oh yeah. Sorry. See ya later big brother!" Goten called over his shoulder as he and Trunks raced off.

"This cannot be good!" Gohan wined.

~*~

Sometime later, Gohan, Sharpener and Apollo were in a clearing, trying to decide what to do for the concert.

"I know! Karaoke!" Apollo exclaimed.

"No way! I am NOT singing in front of everyone!" Sharpener protested immediately.

"Well, what should we do?" Apollo asked.

"We could always have a fight. What do you think Gohan?"

"NO!" he cried, almost too quickly.

"Why not? Scared of me nerd-boy?" SS took over again.

"Scared of a pathetic human like you? Don't make me laugh!"

"Gohan? Whats gotten into you?" Apollo asked him.

"Nothing. I just think this weakling should be taught some manners!"

"Uh, Gohan, I don't think it's a wise idea saying that about Sharpener. He was trained under Hercule."

"So? Come-on pretty boy! Right here, right now."

SS dropped into a flawless fighting stance. Sharpener followed suit and they began to spar. SS of course, winning without trying. He just stood there blocking all of Sharpeners attacks with a finger.

"Is that the best you can do? Come on, I'm not even trying." Sharpener began to get scared. This freaky turquoise-eyed kid sure wasn't Gohan!

"Um, Gohan, lets do karaoke after all."

"YES!!!" cried Apollo. The trio stared at him and he blushed and looked away embarrassed. Now onto the observatory!!!

~*~

The bus was all talking excitedly about the trip to the observatory. They were told that a famous person owned it but weren't told whom that was. The guesses re ranged from Hercule to Yamcha, but Gohan was convinced that neither of them owned it. Finally the bus halted outside a circular building with a large telescope pointing out the top. They filed out and waited to be led inside.

"Ok scouts. I want you to be very respectable for this guest! She's a very important person!" Providence chirped seriously. (Can it be done? :S)

They waited a few moments until BULMA walked out! Followed by a very annoyed Vegeta and a very excited Trunks and Goten.

"Hello everyone! I'm Bulma and I'm going to be showing you around this observatory." She smiled.

"Oh Kami, oh Kami, oh KAMI!" cried Katt. "I can't believe it's Bulma Briefs, I've been dying to meet her!"

"Wow! This is so cool!" Jade agreed.

"Now would you please follow me into the building where ill show you a few solar systems and talk about some capsule related things." Bulma continued.

Gohan swallowed a lump in his throat and began to follow the rest of the scouts. He suppressed his ki to as low as possible to try and avoid Vegeta. It didn't work though, because Bulma spotted him.

"Hey Gohan sweetie! Nice to see you. Chi-chi said you'd be here!" She waved at him.

The whole scout group turned and stared at the poor demi-sayan who just gave a classic Son Grin. They continued to stare as he walked up and gave Bulma a hug and Vegeta a small nod.

"Hi Bulma. Hi Vegeta." He said dejectedly.

"Greetings brat. Spar now."

"No sparring in my tours!" An angry Bulma stated.

"Why not woman?" Bulma whispered something in his ear. Automatically his mood changed.

"Um, ok then. Brat, mental spar. Now." Gohan and Vegeta began staring at each other intently, neither of them blinking or moving. The scouts were still staring.

"Ok then. Lets get this tour started. Please ignore my husband and Gohan for a while. They'll follow soon." Bulma said, snapping everyone out of their daze. They followed and she began to lecture.

"This telescope was donated by the Satan Astronomy Association last year. It is the most powerful telescope on the planet. You can see all the way past the Amanas Galaxy!" Bulma waited and received the expected 'Wow's' and such. She was about to go on but the two sayans had returned.

"You've weakened brat. Before, you'd be able to beat me without trying."

"Blame Kasaan. She hasn't let me train since dad died!"

"And you let that stop you?"

"Remember the frying pan." Vegeta nodded and they returned to the group.

"Now that my husbands back I'll be able to show you how this thin works. Vegeta, point the telescope to the southeast segments." Vegeta groaned but began to turn the telescope. (It's really big and has to be turned manually) Gohan walked to his little circle of friends and waited.

'What was Gohan doing over there?' Videl thought.

"It was just a staring contest." Gohan stated, still watching Bulma.

"What? Gohan I didn't say anything."

"Yes you did! You said 'what was Gohan doing over there'." 'This girl is really freaky!'

"Oh am I freaky now Son Gohan!" Videl said angrily. The circle of friends was now staring intently at them.

"Um, Videl. I didn't say anything."

"Yes you did! I heard you!"

"VEGETA! HELP!" Gohan yelled.

Vegeta smirked. "I see your sayan side is making a comeback. Took long enough."

"How'd you know that?"

"Your eyes kept changing colour while we were sparring."

"Oh. So what's wrong with us?"

"Obviously your sayan side things this baka is a worthy mate. Dear, dear."

"Ooh! I can't wait to tell Chi-chi!" Bulma said excitedly. Gohan groaned and took to hitting his head on a nearby wall.

~*~

Bulma decided to bring up the topic of planets. More importantly, life on one certain planet known as Vegeta-sei.

"So this warrior race known as the sayans lived on this planet but it was blown up by the evil Freezer! Only 4 sayans survived and two of those four are now dead. You can now take turns looking at where Vegeta-sei used to be." Bulma said happily. Videl had a query to make.

"Do you really believe that? That there are alien life forms out there?"

"Of course there are! Vegeta's a sayan, Goku's a sayan. Trunks is a demi- sayan. Go."

"Um, Bulma. Remember what Kasaan said!"

"Oh yeah. Well then, I better get on with my tour!"

Gohan let out a sigh of relief but this was quickly quenched from him. A bright light, like a shooting star but larger, began to descend on the tour- group. Gohan, although freaked, recognised this ki! There was a loud explosion as the bright object landed in the observatory and everyone screamed, bar Bulma and the sayans.

There, in the midst of all the rubble, was a large capsule ship. A hatch opened and out walked a tall, purple haired boy. Bulma ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

"Hey Trunks! It's good to see you again sweetie!"

"Hi mom. Hope you don't mind me dropping by like this, but mirai mom needed some supplies and said to see you about it."

"Hi mirai. I haven't seen you since I was this big." Gohan laughed, indicating a hight around his waist.

"Hey sensei. I miss you in my time!"

"Son Gohan! Explain what's going on right now!" yelled a very angry Videl.

"Oh Videl. This is Mirai Trunks. He's from a different time-line."

"I can see that, but why did he call you sensei?"

"I'm his sensei in that time."

"Oh really? And how can someone who doesn't even know how to fight become a sensei?"

"Well, you see, I." Gohan stuttered. He looked from Trunks to Videl. The look of anger on Videl's face was indescribable. He had to think of a way out of this-and fast.

"My brother can to fight! He's the strongest fighter in the world!" Goten piped up. Gohan groaned. The rest of the class started laughing.

"Nerd-boy the strongest fighter in the world? You have to be joking!"

"No! The only one stronger than him is Daddy and he's dead."

"Clam it Goten!"

"But big brother, you are the strongest."

"No I'm not, that's Mr. Saturn."

"Hercule? Isn't he that guy who."

"Beat cell. Now if keep this up I'll tell Kasaan and she won't be happy."

At the thought of the frying pan Goten shut up. Videl didn't pass off Goten's comment as quickly as the rest of the scouts. She immediately started asking questions.

"Ok Son Gohan, your brother thinks you're the strongest in the world and this future guy says you're his sensei. I think that's cause for concern."

"Um, well I." 'If she keeps asking questions I'll be dead. She's smarter than she looks.'

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ah what?" 'Darn, I forgot about my sayan side and bonding and all that.'

"Sayan side? Bonding?" 'This ought to be good. Wait, aren't sayans those aliens Bulma was talking about?'

"Took you long enough to figure that out. You are stupid." SS piped up. He had taken control again.

"What!?! Son Gohan you are dead if you say that to me again!"

"Shut up woman. Can't you tell that isn't Gohan?" Vegeta demanded, more than slightly annoyed.

"What do you mean that isn't Gohan?"

"Check out the eyes. It's his Sayan side. Keep back he's dangerous."

"That's putting it lightly Vegeta!" SS smirked. M Trunks looked worried and stepped back slightly.

He raised his hand and was about to fire when a little voice behind M Trunks called out.

"What's the matter Sensei? I felt your ki rise!"

Walking out of the pod was a small girl around Trunks's age. (The present Trunks, not M Trunks) All the girls immediately began fawning over her. She had her cheek pinched and received various comments such as, "Your so cute!" and "Awe, what's you name Sweetie?" Luckily M Trunks came to her rescue.

"Um, everyone, this is Pan. She's my student from the future."

Erasa looked from Videl to Pan and back again. "Hey Videl, she looks a lot like you."

"Yeah, you're right." Jade agreed.

"I think she has Gohan's eyes though." Katt declared after looking her over.

M Trunks groaned and Videl looked shocked. SS and Gohan stared at her for a moment and then Gohan took over and he fainted. Dead on the floor.

"Daddy!" Yelled Pan, running over to him. This received another groan from M Trunks, and a squeal of delight from Bulma.

"I think we should wait until tomorrow to discuss this. Mum, is it alright if me and Pan stay with you tonight?"

"Of course it's ok. I'll be coming here tomorrow so we can discuss things with Gohan then."

Providence recovered from her shock and told the class to get back on the busses. No one could revive Gohan, so Trunks decided to carry him, promising Bulma and Pan that he would be back as soon as he was in bed.

After they got back, everyone went to bed, but Videl couldn't sleep. She lay awake all night for fear of what tomorrow was going to bring.

END OF CHAPTER 3 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*

Katt: What will tomorrow bring?

Gohan: More torture.

Katt: Too right.

Videl: Give Katt your ideas. She needs them to continue.

Katt: Yes that's true. I do need ideas.

Gohan: Please review. Flames and anonymous reviews are accepted. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
