Responses to reviews:
Luinthoron: Yeah, Gohan would probably be the only one who would be able to survive the 100km, but like you said, that's not really important. Besides, if my calculations are right, walking the 100km would take about 17 hours for the average person walking at 6k/h, so as you can see, I conveniently ignored that fact and just put it all down to being a humor fic.
Kinto'un: Thanks, I really liked writing that bit too, it was kind of a spur of the moment idea, but I liked it so I put it in.
SsTrunks: Yea, I know it's supposed to primarily be a Gohan fic, I'm trying to keep him in it as much as I can, but I've got heaps of ppl to consider now, but I'm trying to do the best I can. I was kind of working it so that one chapter would be from Gohan's pov and the next from Reez's pov, but if you guys don't like it, I can easily change that. And I'm pretty sure that this'll be a long fic, I was originally aiming for about 14 chapters, but now I can see that it'll go well over that. And as for using my idea, sure, go ahead, I'd like to see what you come up with!
A/N: You know what the stupid TV people in stupid NZ have gone and done? They've gone and restarted DBZ from the start! Now I have to watch that stupid gay lizard they call Frieza again! For the 5th time! Stupid ditch in the side of the world New Zealand! I 'spose the only good thing is that I get to see little Gohan again...but IT'S STILL NOT FAIR!!!!!!
Disclaimer: Just like it always was, always is and always will be. This is all you'll get coz I'm in a bad mood. *mutter mutter* stupid TV people *mumble*

"Mmm, that was delicious" Gohan said as he polished off the rest of his 5th serving of lunch.
As usual, he was getting strange stares, but by now, his friends were used to his eating habits, although they still did think it was rather strange.
"COME ON, LUNCH IS OVER" Hercule's voice boomed through the forest, through, you guessed it, his trusty megaphone.
"That megaphone has to be destroyed" Tobun said, her teeth gritted at the sound of the 'hero's' voice again.
There were murmurs of agreement as everyone nodded.
"Hey, I say we hit him with a double" Jade said, gaining an evil glint in her eye.
"Yeah!" Chelsea exclaimed, her practical-joker mind going to work right away.
The group moved off with the rest of the campers, following the great hero up the trail.
A few hours later, the second 100km came to a close. They arrived at their second camping spot just before it got dark.
"YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES TO SET UP THE TENT BEFORE WE SERVE DINNER" Hercule yelled again.
Gohan went off with Tysun and Sharpener to set up their tent while Reez, Kara and Tobun went to set up theirs.
There were less mishaps than the previous day, because most people remembered how to put up their tents, but Hercule somehow managed to crash into another person's tent, needless to say, they were not very pleased. After that, he retreated into the woods until dinnertime.
Dinner was much the same as yesterday's. It was mostly unidentifiable, although they were told that it was meat pies, the pastry was soggy and the meat...well, it didn't really look like meat.
Most of the meals ended up in the bush behind them again, as a meal for the passing forest creatures, although they severely doubted that even the scavenging animals would eat it. But as usual, Gohan had many servings, in an effort to fill his Saiyan stomach. I don't even think he tasted the food, otherwise his would have probably gone in the bush along with all the others.
After dinner was finished, Hercule ambled back into the clearing, wiping the remains of his dinner off his mouth. And we can all bet that it was way better than the dinner everyone else got served.
"Who wants to hear more stories about me!?!?" he yelled to everyone
There was quite a mixed reaction with a few half-hearted cheers, but most of the group turning away and talking to their friends. (I'm so mean, making Hercule get stuck on a camp with people who hate him...)
Gohan turned to rest of his friends, as they were planning on what they were going to do that night.
"Okay guys, we'll meet at 2am here and go from there" Chelsea said "We've got everything planned out"
She went on to explain what everyone was going to do.
The night passed slowly and Hercule continued his great stories until around 11:00, then he made them go to bed.
1am came and went, then 1:30 and finally 2:00 came around.
Gohan quietly slipped out of the tent and snuck off towards their meeting spot at the side of the clearing.
Chelsea was already there, waiting for them with Jade, they were both wearing black clothing.
"Hi" she whispered quietly and Gohan returned his greeting and they waited quietly for Reez and Tobun to come.
A minute later, Reez and Tobun crept across the clearing. They were both wearing black and they were both wearing black beanies to cover their light hair.
Silently, the group of 5 moved off into the woods to complete their mission.
Gohan moved silently through the woods after the other four. He was kind of looking forward to doing this. He'd been wanting to get the so-called hero back for a while. He gained a rather evil smirk, rather similar to Vegeta's and picked up the pace slightly.
They approached a smaller clearing where Hercule's capsule house was located. Jade had been on a scouting trip before to find the house and she led them back to the spot where it was.
Chelsea crept to the edge of the trees and picked up a long stick. She motioned for everyone to come close.
"Okay, I'll go with Jade, Reez, you go with Gohan, you know what to do. Tobun, keep a look out, remember what to do if you see someone"
Everyone nodded and they all moved off to do their respective tasks.
Jade and Chelsea crept up to the house to peek in the bedroom window to check that the afroed dude was actually asleep before they went in.
After they were sure he was asleep, they motioned to Reez and Gohan who were still waiting in the shadows.
"Good luck" Tobun whispered to them before they set off.
Jade and Chelsea went through the front door while Reez and Gohan entered the back.
Gohan went up to the door and tried the handle, it was unlocked, the hero obviously thought that he was safe here.
He softly opened the door and they entered silently and crept past his room, pausing for a second to check that they hadn't woken him up. When they were satisfied, they crept along to the next room along. The bathroom.
"You got the stuff?" Gohan asked
"Right here" Reez said, pulling a bottle of something from her back pocket.
They gained identical evil smirks and Gohan pulled Hercule's bottle of designer extra-frizz shampoo off the shelf and twisted the lid off.
Reez poured all of the secret substance into his shampoo and Gohan shook it for a bit to mix it up, then replaced it on the shelf.
"Come on, let's go" Gohan said and he exited the bathroom and back out the door, closing I softly behind them.
They crept back towards their meeting spot, where they saw Chelsea putting something that was on the end of the stick in a bag.
"Hey guys" she whispered when she saw the two return, "You did it?"
"Oh yeah, perfect" Reez said, smirking, "I can't wait until tomorrow"
With a few quiet laughs, the group of 5 made their way back through the trees and back to their tents to get their remaining 4 hours of sleep.
