CHAPTER TWO
"How could I have even suggested such a thing? I wasn't drunk… at least I hoped I wasn't" Gohan thought taking his armor from the chair.
"Ok there has to be a way out of this… and yet I find it quite interesting… I always wondered what it would be like… hum she's a good woman but I don't want to lead her on… society in the elite class gets… well it gets complicated…" Gohan murmured.
"Ok, ok genius; think you can get everyone to think she's real! I mean she's not some lovely angel or fairy I met… then again… oye" Gohan entered the kitchen.
South Vegeta
"Videl think this through for a second… I mean look at his armor it's as plain as the nose upon our faces" Cahokia sighed.
Videl thanked her maid for her dress before sighing herself.
Videl pulled the dress over herself and Cahokia brushed Videl's ebony hair, "Seriously Videl, becoming mates is NOT something to be taken lightly"
Videl smiled, "Ok, ok! I know but …"
"But?"
"It's was supposed to be a secret" Videl whorled around and looked frantic, "Please don't tell, well at least Tori anyways. He'll have a cow and Erasa would blab"
"Sha--"
"No not even your son Sharpener, he'll blab to Erasa once seduced with a kiss or" Videl blushed and looked down at the floor, "Or other uhm Stuff"
Cahokia grinned, "Ah you do change your mood, are you having a baby?"
"A woman can change her mind with mood swings right?" Videl asked.
Cahokia smiled, "Ah you're becoming quite a jewel… I wish your parents where still alive to see you blossom"
"They're looking now" Videl murmured, "Like Momma said…"
Cahokia nodded, "Aye lass of course"
"You're from the northeastern part of Vegeta aren't you?" Videl teased catching Cahokia's native tongue.
Cahokia laughed, "Nay, I'm not but my parents where and you know it rubs off on ye"
Videl shrugged and got up, "Shh, I'm going to sneak a cookie from the jar" she then giggled, "Care for one"
"Sure I never caught you before' till today but that shall be our little secret"
Videl laughed once again, "Sure"
North Vegeta
Chichi and Bulma sat with Gohan.
Gohan looked up from his tea to see they where looking at him.
"Gohan darling… sweetheart…" Chichi beamed.
"No mom" Gohan sighed.
"Gohan your darling mother didn't even ask you anything *yet*"Bulma smiled.
"I know when you both use sweet heart and darling in high pitched voices you want something that always involves embarrassment" Gohan replied.
"How can you say that about me of all people…? Bulma ok… but me your mother I'm deeply offended" Chichi said.
Bulma nodded then glared at Chichi, "Oh sure take it out on me why don't you"
"What is it?" Gohan sighed heavily.
"I was told that you found a mate earlier today is that correct?" Chichi asked sipping her tea.
Gohan flushed slightly, "M-Maybe" he stammered.
"Gohan you're a terrible liar" Chichi sighed waving her hand, "I take that as a 'yes' yes?"
"Is this a trick question?" Gohan asked.
Chichi sighed, "Gohan, Gohan, GOHAN!"
Gohan blinked, "Yes?"
"I truly want to travel about … not settle down so soon" Gohan murmured.
"Well if this is a lie then here are applications for eligible and top of the line women" Bulma handed him a bag filled with letters.
"Gohan you shall take then thorn of South Vegeta one day! And your father and I do want to spend our golden years spoiling our grandchildren"
"But traveling"
"After they are born… come Bulma they await" she indicated their mates.
"Oh mom" Gohan groaned.
Seconds…
Chichi yawned growing tired of seeing her husband train, "Goku I'll return in a moment sweetoms"
When she opened the door of the parlor and stepped out the smell of destruction came to her.
As predicted grains of rice fell from the sky as if it was raining.
Chichi looked up then saw Gohan and Goten.
The two brothers blushed sheepishly, "Sorry mom"
"More target practice ne? Kami" Chichi frowned before returning inside to the parlor.
North Vegeta
Videl smelled the cookies and took them from the oven.
It was custom to bring some type of offering to the husband's family before the ceremony.
She hummed a happy tune swing around the table before placing it down.
She soon nearly ran into her older sister, Serenity.
"Sorry Serenity" Videl smiled.
"Ah, you haven't smiled like this in ages since becoming part of the court! Well since Tori was such a great talker you where fired"
Videl shrugged, "its ok. Dad and mom worked hard enough and you"
"You and Tori both eat up the profit or use it for clothing's"
Videl laughed holding up the capsule, "I'm going to find Tori"
Serenity laughed as well handing Videl a red labeled capsule "Bring a first aid kit in case he flew too fast like last time"
South Vegeta
"Thank you from the hearts of our bottoms" Goku replied looking eagerly at the meal before him.
"Bottom of our hearts" Goten corrected knowing his father at times didn't care for grammar when it came to meals.
Dinner passed without much event besides Goten and Goku fighting over the last chicken leg.
Goku stretched "Thank goodness your most pressing problem is finding a mate since the woman you claim doesn't exist"
"She does" Gohan grumbled.
8:00 PM…
"A! Nothing to wear! Ugly, uhg, ugly yuck!" Chichi flipped through her closet.
"How about this one?" her mother asked holding up yet another kimono.
Chichi made a sour face which only made her mother's hazel eyes darken.
Chichi smiled, "Sorry about that but how can I be a hostess for a big ceremony if I have no outfit?"
"You're acting like Queen Bulma dear" Sakia teased.
Chichi assisted her mother with putting the kimonos back "We are royalty as well as best friends since grade school! How can I not?"
Sakia smiled, "You're an angel yet a picky one no?"
"No? No of course" Chichi smiled in return.
Sakia shrugged at her daughter "Well then we bests go find Gohan and get a clearer description of his mate he claims to have found"
Chichi followed beside her mother "Yes I agree… I never heard of her… and he doesn't even know the girl for longer than what? An afternoon for Kami sakes!!! Do you think he mated with her? Then again he did call her his 'mate' so---"
Their voices began to grow distant as they descended down the stairs.
North Vegeta
Videl looked around her room fidgeting about trying to get the room perfect.
Tilting her head, "Uhm… maybe" Videl sighed, "This is not working"
Videl looked at the mirror, "I wonder what type of wedding dress I should wear?" Videl sighed and flopped onto her bed, "I wonder what Gohan's doing now…"
South Vegeta
"Gohan!" Chichi chimed, "Oh, oh! I found this great girl! She's going to help you find the perfect mate" she then gave Gohan a warning glance, "Don't even think about conning her into disappearing mister"
Gohan blinked, "I-I wouldn't dream of ding that mom you know me"
Chichi nodded, "I do" then she nodded curtly towards the opened door, "You may come in"
The woman and Gohan's eyes bulged out…
Videl flushed looking down at the floor and bowed.
"B-But" Gohan stuttered.
"Make our guest feel welcome Gohan" Chichi insisted so Gohan shook Videl's hand.
"A-ah please to meet you" Gohan stuttered.
Videl nodded, "Likewise your highness"
A tensed silence followed but was somewhat cleared by Chichi.
"Now then we shall make a list of personalities and etc for the girl then Videl shall search and study files about each girl. Lastly in the process the final selections of girls shall meet Gohan privately with my company to see which is the perfect match… understood?"
The two young adults nodded, "Yes"
"Now let this search of T.P.M. begin" Chichi sang before excusing herself.
"Uhm... shall we being?" Videl stuttered, "We could start by---"
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you… come follow me" Gohan interrupted…..
What is this thing that Gohan needs to discuss with his secret lover? What shall Chichi think when she finds out that Gohan is secretly marring the family's enemy's daughter, HURCULE'S!!
Find out on the nest episode of E.O.T.H….
The final chapter of shooting and falling is coming… the sequel coming winter 2003….
Please review thanks for the reviews as well.
Confused?
Ok Videl and Gohan are to wed but no one truly believes such a girl like Videl is among their people. So Chichi decides to take finding Gohan a mate into her own hands. However, the surprise of having Videl as the supposed matchmaker kind of screws everything out of balance for the two… so that's the basic summary sorry for being short but this story was sort of neglected too long.
