Last time:
Master Roshi stepped in. "Sorry girls. Videl wins."
"YES!"
"DAMN!!"
"And now would the remaining contestants step forward and draw a number. That will decide who faces who."
The final four contestants entering the semi-finals are: M Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan and Videl.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
Chapter 8: It's Over at Last!
The entire crowd watched intently as the four remaining contestants walked up to the stand. Master Roshi stood there with the balls, ready for everyone to pick. He chuckled slightly at the sight of the victors; he wanted to see a fight between the sayans. Particularly Mirai Trunks and Vegeta. If only he could rig the numbers! But he knew that was impossible. He beckoned Videl up.
"Come on darling. Pretty ladies first!" Videl glared at him, but didn't react. She just pulled a number.
"Two." she called, holding it up for him to see. He wrote her name down.
"Ok, you next Vegeta." Vegeta grunted and walked forward.
"Four" he said without emotion. M Trunks was next.
"Three" He grinned. It wasn't every day that you got to face your father.
But Gohan groaned. If they were fighting, he'd have to face.VIDEL! This could only end in tears. Either he fought properly and killed her, or he didn't fight and she'd hate him. He didn't know what to do.
"Come on Gohan, you're next!" Master Roshi prompted. Videl gave Gohan a sidelong glare, with just a tad curiosity.
He pulled out his number (number 1 if ya didn't know ;) ) and stepped into the ring.
"Ok everyone! Our first match in the semi-finals is Videl, one and only daughter of the champ, and some skinny brat!" Hercule yelled. Gohan glared at him a bit, but didn't leave the ring. The bell sounded and the fight began.
Videl moved to a fighting stance, ready to take on anything. Gohan, however, just stood there. After a short while, he walked over to Videl. Videl braced herself for an attack, but he simply picked her up.
"Hey! What are you doing? Fight me!" She yelled, trying to get free. But his grip was impenetrable. With one long move he walked to the side of the ring and tossed Videl out. Everyone gasped.
"Um, Videl has lost. She's out of the ring." Hercule said disbelieving. Gohan grunted, and walked out. He stood by a tree, ready to watch the next match.
~*~
Trunks and Vegeta stepped into the ring, a look of determination on both their faces. Like the saying goes, like father like son. (I have just been sued for overuse of the word 'like' while not talking like Erasa) So anyway.Trunks gave a Vegeta like smirk as he faced his father. Instinctively, Krillin, Gohan, Master Roshi and the rest of the z-gang stepped back. Well, that's a bit of an understatement; Krillin ran top speed and hid behind a rock.
"So Dad, how far have you come since our last meeting?" Trunks asked coyly.
"Hmm, I see your arrogance hasn't changed."
"Speak for yourself."
That's all it took. After that they were both off like rockets. Every punch and kick mattered in this game. Both were determined to win. After a while Trunks seemed to have the upper hand. But that didn't last long. Vegeta regained it just as quickly and began to fight with more force than before. Soon they were dead even. No one was going to win. Vegeta stopped for a second and Trunks followed suit.
"Son, this bores me. I say we have our REAL fight without spectators. There we can do as we please." Trunks grinned.
"I agree. I'm not sure Gohan would be too happy if we become Super Saiyan. Could you just do me one favour?"
"And what would that be?"
"Well, I've been wanting to fight Gohan for quite some time. I would like it if you let me now."
Vegeta grinned. "Very well. Just don't hold back when you face me again." With that, he stepped out of the ring and leaned against a tree, ready for the next match.
Master Roshi looked shocked. It's not every day Vegeta through a fight. He knew they were holding back, a lot because both refused to go Super. Who would with an angry Gohan around? After a while he walked to the centre of the ring where Trunks was standing, grinning at Gohan like Dr Evil. (And stroking a little dragon "well, well, well Mr Son.NO, I don't own.)
"Um, Vegeta is out! Trunks is the winner!" Hercule said. He looked a little confused.
Gohan calmly walked up to Trunks. They stared at each other for a second before beginning to fight.
*insert fight scene here*
Trunks smirked to how badly Gohan was fighting. He kept missing opportunities and creating openings. He knew this couldn't be his fighting style. It wasn't like him. Even when he was 11, Gohan had been able to whoop his ass! He just KNEW he was holding back. This meant he would have to torment him. To get his proper fighting skill out.
"So Gohan, your mother not letting you train hey?"
"What do you think you're talking about pretty boy?"
"Pretty boy? Is that an insult?"
"Why don't you ask your hair stylist?"
"At least I'm not a mommas boy!"
"Whoa, bringing out the big guns!"
"Hey, at least my mother lets me train!"
"What makes you think mine doesn't?"
"Your form."
"HA! I'll have you know that I have a GR in the forest that YOUR mother gave me."
"Whatever."
Trunks frowned. This just wasn't working! He was trying to aggravate Gohan but he was able to counter everything! He needed something to bring out Gohan's inner energy, just like at the cell games. He glanced around, and then had an idea.
"So I see you have a mate."
"SHE'S NOT MY MATE!"
"Oh really? Then you won't mind if I take her?"
*Growl*
"She is so fine!"
"Trunks."
"Well since she's not yours, I guess I can do what I want with her!"
Gohan roared. His eyes flashed a teal and he charged at Trunks. He braced himself for the attack. Gohan pounded his fists into Trunks, every blow causing more damage than the last. Eventually, Trunks was on the floor and writhing in pain. Maybe it WASN'T a good idea to bring up Gohan's mate. After the short burst from Gohan, the fight was over. Trunks badly needed a sensu bean and the camp was watching in horror. Gohan just walked out of the ring, tossing a sensu to Vegeta, and walked off to the river to think.
~*~
When Gohan was meditating at the river Videl joined him. His eyes had turned to their normal black. Videl looked over at him.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?" She asked.
"You didn't want to know."
"Yes I did!"
"No, you wanted to know why someone was stronger than you. You didn't want to know about me."
"Gohan!" She looked almost sad.
He stared at her for a while. Slowly, his tail began to snake towards her, without his knowing. Videl noticed it though. She picked it up.
"Videl, I wouldn't."
"Wouldn't what?" She began to pet it.
Gohan flinched a little, then, let out a deep pur. His eyes kept flashing between teal and black before resting on teal. He growled and wrapped his tail around her waist. HE leaned in and began to kiss her roughly. (Hey you sick people, there will be NO lemons!!!!!!!) He paused for a bit and whispered,
"You really shouldn't have done that!"
Videl looked at him scared. Then, with one swift move she slapped him across the face. It didn't hurt, but it brought his eyes back to normal. He looked away embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. That was my Saiyan side. You shouldn't touch my tail."
"It's ok. I didn't know Saiyans purred."
He blushed. "Well, about that, neither did I."
"Oh, Vegeta never tell you that?"
"No."
"There's a lot of things you should ask Vegeta!"
"Yeah, maybe. I'd rather stay here with you."
He leaned in and kissed her. At first she was a little shocked, but overcame it and kissed him back. After a short while they were met with laughing. There in the tree sat Goten and Trunks, laughing they're heads off and taking pictures.
"Hey you two! I'll kill you!" Gohan yelled.
They both flew off laughing, then handed the film to Katt and Jade.
"Thanks. Another thing to add to the scrap book." Jade said, smiling.
Kat began to signal to her brother. He walked over, looking angry. "What is it this time?"
"Come on Josh!"
"Jad."
"I asked you to follow through with the plan!"
"What plan" Asked Trunks.
"My evil matchmaker plan. I was gonna get him to shove Videl into Gohan and spill stuff on Videl's shirt and..."
"SHUT UP!" Jad cried.
Katt looked angry, but didn't say anything.
Gohan and Videl talked for a while, until Videl knew everything. Soon it was time to pack up and board the bus. It wasn't long before they were once again outside the Big Blue Building. A guy pulled up and got out of the car. Katt ran up and grabbed him. Videl, Erasa and Sharpner looked shocked. (The other scout groups aren't there)
"Who's that?" Videl asked.
"Oh, this is Tom, my boyfriend." Katt replied.
"You have a boyfriend!!!" Videl exclaimed.
"Yes." Katt said simply.
"WHAT! But all that stuff! The nicknames, the pranks..."
"Nasty aren't I."
"Why?"
"Ok, I should explain. Firstly, Gohan gave that nickname the first day of Scouts. It was a bit of a joke. He always knew about Tom. The pranks...well I just love doing them."
"But, it seamed like you liked him."
"I know. That was my lovely matchmaker plan."
"WHAT!"
"Let me, once again, explain."
*~*FLASHBACK*~*
Gohan and Katt are in Katt's tent on the second night of camp.
"You like Videl" Katt stated.
"Is it that obvious?"
"Yes. And she likes you."
"How can you tell?"
"I found out during orienteering."
"Oh."
"I'm gonna get you 2 together."
"How?"
"Never underestimate the power of jealousy."
*~*END OF FLASHBACK*~*
"You mean you planned it all along?" Erasa asked.
"You bet. She told me all about it." Jade said laughing.
~*~
Back at school, everything seemed fine. Katt and Jade were in different classes than the rest of the group bar one, English. And it is in English that we are now. Katt had decided to be extra annoying, acting very secretive. Jade just looked on and laughed.
"What is it?" Videl asked.
"You'll see in a sec." Katt said laughing.
"Come on, just say." Gohan whined.
"You won't like it." Jade assured him.
"True. None of you will."
"When are you gonna show us?" Asked Erasa.
Jade whispered, "Should we?"
"Oh ok. I guess it couldn't hurt."
She brought up a scrapbook. In it was everything that had happened at Scouts, camp and all. It was hilarious. There were pics of Videl with pink hair, and the ones of Gohan "asleep" on the bus. The best of the pranks were all there. Then on the very last page, there were big pink letters, which said:
The Love of Videl and Gohan
There, you could see all the best shots of the two together. Even a few recent ones of them together. Both began to blush bright red. Katt and Jade laughed, making very immature smooching noises. Of course, they were saved when the siren went.
"Gotta go. I'm meeting Tom." Katt said smiling, and jumping up.
"Hey, wait up, he said Clark would be there." Jade cried.
"Clark?" Asked Gohan
"Yeah, Tom's friend. He's really nice. See ya!" Jade yelled. They both ran out the door and into the waiting car. Gohan and Videl smiled.
"Shall we?" Asked Gohan
"I believe we shall." Videl replied.
THE END
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*
Gohan: FINALLY!
Videl: That was nice wasn't it.
Gohan: no
Katt: Thank-you for reading. Please check out my other fics. Until next time, see ya!!!
