Hey Hey! Sorry it took me so long to update!  My birthday was on Monday and I got fun stuff to play with.  Like the End of Evangelion movie.  If you haven't watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, GO FIND IT!!!!!  It's one of the best anime's ever.  Anyway, I've been  writing this chapter since Monday during my algebra class.  It's the interview with Bulma and Erasa, and I think it's pretty damn funny.  Or maybe its not.  I dunno.  Please review and I'll be happy forever.

Oh, and Pickles says hello and that he is a little lonely.  Being a Hammer of Doom doesn't get you many friends.  But, loyal readers, don't fear!  My daddy is gonna buy me a screwdriver and it's gonna be Onion, the Screwdriver of Fear, and they will be friends.

Chapter 5: What the Blonde Girl Saw

            Gohan walked into Capsule Corp. and found Bulma in the kitchen.  "Oh, hey Gohan.  What brings you over here?"  Bulma asked.

            "My friend Erasa is our high school buddy.  I thought I'd come over and distract Vegeta so he didn't do anything."  Gohan said, helping himself to the refrigerator.

            "That's a good idea, Gohan.  I was worried about if he would behave while Erasa was here."  Bulma replied, looking relieved.

            "By the way, where's Trunks?"  Gohan asked, piling meat on his sandwich.

            "He's over at your house, spending the night."

            That was something to look forwards too.  The morning with Hercule, the afternoon with Vegeta, and the evening with the demonic duo.           

            Right then, Vegeta came stalking into the kitchen and stopped short when he saw Gohan.  "Kakarott brat #1, why are you here?"  Vegeta demanded.

            "I've come to spar."  Gohan answered calmly.

            "Hmmph.  About time you started acting like a Saiyan again.  Meet me in the gravity room in ten minutes."  Vegeta replied, opening the refrigerator.

            Gohan went ahead into the Gravity Room.  He heard the doorbell ring at exactly the same time as Vegeta walked in to meet Gohan.

            "That must be your class brat the woman is supposed to talk to.  Too bad you showed up.  I was going to have some fun with her."

            I know.   Gohan thought to himself.  That's why I'm here.

*~*~*~*~

            Erasa walked into Capsule Corp., so overwhelmed she was ready to pass out.  Capsule Corp was easily the biggest house she'd ever seen, even bigger than Videl's.  And Bulma Briefs herself had answered the door.  Erasa had figured there would be servants for that.

            Bulma was even more beautiful in per than on TV or in pictures, which is the only other way Erasa had ever seen her.

            "Hi!"  Bulma greeted cheerily, having just shooed Vegeta away.

            "H…hello."  Erasa stumbled.  It was the first time in her life the bubbly blonde wasn't…bubbly.

            "Come on in.  I've been waiting all day to talk to you."  Bulma continued, not even noticing that Erasa was busy staring at the entry hall.

            Bulma kept chatting aimlessly on in the way only a human used to Saiyan company can.  Erasa dutifully followed.  Eventually, Erasa found herself seated in the gigantic kitchen, a plate of cookies and a glass of milk in front of her.  Bulma paused for a breath and looked expectantly at Erasa.  This snapped Erasa out of her daze.

            "Oh, I'm sorry.  It's just that I've never been anywhere this fancy.  Wow, is your house always like this?"  Erasa asked.

            Bulma looked around.  "Yeah, pretty much."  Erasa's eyes got wide.  Bulma just got up to put Erasa's plate and glass in the sink.  "Unless some stupid Saiyan has fried something."  Bulma muttered under her breath.

            Bulma then led Erasa back towards her lab, chatting the entire way.  Erasa had recovered from her shock and was back to her normal self- in other words, chatty.  Once inside the lab, Erasa showed a side of herself that few had seen.  Underneath the blonde cap and ditzy giggle, Erasa was a scientific genius.  She just didn't like science, so she never showed it.

            "So it's this interdimensional chamber that's really inside the capsule and is what the object is held in?"  Erasa asked.

            Bulma was surprised.  No one had ever figured out the capsule so quickly.  Actually, no one outside the Briefs family had figured the capsule out, period.  Bulma was also a little nervous.  What if Erasa told a rival company the secret of the capsule?  Capsule Corp.  would be ruined!

            "Hey, Erasa, you aren't going to tell anyone about the capsules, are you?"  Bulma asked.  Erasa blinked.

             "Of course not.  I wouldn't do anything like that."

            Bulma sighed, relieved.  Still she made a mental not to use the dragonballs to erase Erasa's memory of capsules.  Bulma the led Erasa out of the lab to show her the rest of Capsule Corp.  By doing so, they had to walk right past the Gravity Room, where it just so happened Gohan was and the outer view screen was on.  Looking at the screen, Erasa saw Gohan, aka "Booknerd" beating the crap out of another man, who was bearing the crap out of Gohan.  Once again, Erasa was surprised into silence.  Gohan can fight?  And so well? Erasa wondered to herself.

            Right then, the smaller guy put his left hand (which appeared to be sparking) out in front of himself.  Gohan's eyes widened ever so minutely, but his hands immediately cupped themselves to his side.  Also sparking.  Both appeared to be saying something, but Erasa could tell what.  Two beams of light shot out and the whole room was filled with light.  When the light dimmed, Gohan and the other fighter were up in the air, singed around the edges, and glaring at each other.  Then, still flying, the two went after each other again.  Looking around the room, Erasa noticed a digital display that read '250x Earth gravity'. What is this place and what is up with those two?

            Bulma finally noticed that Erasa was no longer with her.  She wasn't in the immediate vicinity either.  Bulma retraced her steps until Erasa came into view and then stopped dead in her tracks.  Erasa was standing in front of the Gravity Room view screen looking like a deer caught in headlights. 

            Shit.  How'm I gonna explain this? Bulma thought desperately. 

            "Ummm… I see you've found my, ummm, Experiment Room.  Gohan and my husband are just experimenting with some, uh, new anti-gravity suits and energy propelling palms pods.  Pretty good, aren't they?  Bulma stuttered.  She needed to get this girl out of  Capsule Corp. before anything else happened!

            Erasa just looked up at Bulma.  The older woman was obviously hiding something.  Erasa knew that no one in the world was advanced enough to develop flying devices that had that much dexterity.  I wondered what the truth is.    Suddenly, Erasa wanted nothing more than to be out of Capsule Corp.  Throwing a glance at her watch, Erasa faked a gasp.  "Oh, I told my mother I would be home by four to help her with dinner.  I need to get going."

            "Ok, I'll walk you too the door."  Bulma answered.

            Once  Erasa was safely outside, Bulma stormed to the Gravity Room, ready to give the unsuspecting Saiyans a piece of her mind.

*~*~*~*~*

            Once she was safely outside, Erasa said aloud "What the hell was all that?"  Despite her scientific genius, Erasa was still a natural born gossip and couldn't resist telling someone what she had seen.  She pulled out her cell phone and called her best friend…Videl.

*~*~*~*~*

            "Uh huh. Yeah, that's really strange.  Yeah,  I understand.  Well, I'm going over there tonight, so I'll see if I can figure anything out.  Yeah, I'll call you tomorrow."  Videl hung up with Erasa, who had just told her everything about the adventure at Capsule Corp.  Hmmm, I knew something was up with Gohan.  I'll have to figure this out.
