"Talking"

* Thinking *

(* Author Notes *)

The next morning, the sun hit Videl's eyes, which caused her to wake up. She moaned as she pulled the covers over her head. But as she was about to sleep again, a cheerful little Goten jumped up and down on her bed.

"VIDEL! VIDEL! TIME TO WAKE UP FOR SCHOOL!! WAKE UP! VIDEL!"

Videl got up. "Ok, ok, I'm up. Happy now?" Goten smiled.

"YUP!" Then Goten ran down the stairs. Videl was still a little groggy, but she managed to get up and go downstairs…except the part where she fell over the rug, and gave herself a brush burn. ( * OUCH! Mega pain! * )

"OWW!" Videl sat on the ground holding her face where she slid on the carpet. Then she decided not to be a baby and go downstairs before ChiChi came up to make her get downstairs.

As she made her way in the kitchen Gohan met her at the bottom of the stairs. He looked at her.

"What happened to your face, Videl?" Gohan asked her with his innocent face. Videl put her hand over the brush burn.

"I uh…slipped on the carpet…and got a brush burn…hehe." Gohan examined it for a while to make sure it wasn't too bad. Then he looked at her again.

"You want my mom to help with it? She might have some stuff to keep it from stinging." Videl thought about it for a while.

"Yeah I guess. But it will still look ridiculous! I'm going to walk in the school, people are going to think I got this fighting crime, but they are going to hear the answer of how I tripped over a rug! Total humiliation!" Gohan smiled.

"Aww, don't worry about it. I'm sure people would understand!"

~*At School*~

"You tripped over a RUG?! HAHAHA! C'mon, Videl, I know that you got it from fighting robbers! I mean, it's no big deal, you don't have to find a stupid excuse like that!" Sharpener said with tears in his eyes. Videl got mad. She grabbed him from the shirt.

"The only reason you're trying to humiliate me is because when you pushed me and Gohan beat you up, you were humiliated by crying and running out from the prom! So shut up!" Then she let go of his shirt. Sharpener looked back at her.

"Yeah, and you're going to pay for that too! You're gonna wish that you didn't sic Gohan on me." Then Gohan walked into the room after talking to the principal about his final exams and how he passed all of them.

"Hey guys, what are you talking about?" Gohan asked in his cheerful voice. Sharpener gave him a glare.

"What's it to you?" Sharpener said with a cold voice. "It's none of your business." Gohan took a step back.

"Sorry Sharpener, didn't know you were still mad about the prom." Gohan said.

"Well, I am, so shut up!" Sharpener said taking his seat as the bell rang. The teacher walked in.

"Alright class, we are going to learn L'Hôpital's Rule today!"

~*On the way home*~

Videl was holding her books that she couldn't fit in her book bag as she was riding Nimbus. While Gohan was flying next to her, he noticed a worried look on Videl's face and had to ask her what was the matter.

"Videl, what's wrong? You look so worried about something." Videl turned towards Gohan.

"It's about Sharpener. He said he was going to make me pay for having him be humiliated." Gohan looked at her.

"Aww, I bet it's nothing. You and I both know that you can beat Sharpener in a second. You have nothing to worry about." Videl's face softened.

"Yeah. You're right, I have nothing to worry about. I don't even know why I was worrying in the first place!" Gohan smiled.

"Yeah. You have nothing to worry about. Just don't think about him." Videl turned back forward.

"Ok."

~* At Amy's House *~

"DING DONG!" Amy looked at the door as she was combing her hair.

"DING DONG!" The doorbell rang again, and the person was banging on the door. Amy rolled her eyes.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Amy said running to the door. She answered it. It was Sharpener.

"What do you want?" Amy said STILL combing her hair. Sharpener smirked and held up a bottle. Amy examined it.

"And you came to show me a bottle…why?" Sharpener but the bottle back in his pocket.

"Videl has been making you pissed hasn't she? Because she sure is making me pissed." Amy sighed.

"Yeah…so?" Sharpener threw his hands in the air.

"I need to talk to you in a place where no one can hear us." Sharpener said. Amy thought a while.

"This isn't to make out with me is it?" Sharpener's face dropped.

"Me? Make out with you? I know you want to, but in your dreams." Amy frowned.

"Hey! Every boy loves me! Except for Gohan. That stupid Videl. Any way, then why do we have to go somewhere private?" Amy asked. Sharpener rolled his eyes. ( * I can't think of any other action to make them do… * )

"To discuss our secret plan. Come with me." So Sharpener took Amy and went somewhere where no one is.

"Now what plan are we gonna talk about because I don't have time for chatter." Sharpener took out the bottle again.

"I know, you showed me that before. What do you want? A prize?" Amy asked uninterested. Sharpener shook his head.

"NO! This will help us take care of that brat Videl." Sharpener said smiling. Amy all of a sudden seemed interested.

"It will? How?" Sharpener looked at the bottle.

"If I drink this potion, then I will become so strong, not even Videl will be able to defend herself!" Amy smiled.

"Really? How strong?" Sharpener put the bottle into his pocket…again.

"I'm glad you asked that. This potion will get me stronger then Cell…which will make me stronger then Hercule!" Amy jumped up and down.

"How did you get that potion anyway?" Amy asked pointing at his pocket where he stored the potion.

"I stole it from C.C. while no one was there." Amy then squealed with excitement.

"Well what are you waiting for? Drink it now so that you can get Videl!" Sharpener took out the bottle from his pocket, took of the lid and drank from it. A big surge of energy escaped from Sharpener as he was powering up.

"See! HAHA! I TOLD YOU I WOULD BE STRONGER THEN VIDEL!" Amy clapped in excitement.

"Well go get her!" Sharpener shook his head.

"Not tonight. Tomorrow night will be better. I want to check out my new powers." Amy shook her head, and went home, while Sharpener tested out his new powers…

~* At the Son's *~

"This time, no interruptions!" Gohan yelled as he was on the last level on the video game that he could NEVER beat. As he was about to defeat the enemy with only one shot to go…the power went out.

"NOOOOO! I was so close!" Videl started laughing.

"That's what happens when you're using electronics during a thunderstorm, silly!" Gohan looked outside and saw where the lightning had hit the pole.

"Oh…I didn't know it was thunderstorming outside…oops." Videl was laughing really hard. She thought it was so funny of how he is smart, but at the same time totally clueless!

"Kids, are you okay?" ChiChi asked with a candle in her hand.

"I WAS SO CLOSE MOM! SO CLOSE!" ChiChi gave him a weird look.

"So close to what?" Gohan fell on the floor

"SO CLOSE TO WINNING THAT VIDEO GAME! I WAS AN INCH AWAY FROM VICTORY! BUT THE STUPID POWER WENT OUT!" Goten was laughing seeing his brother look so ridiculous complaining about a little video game. ChiChi's eyes looked very stern.

"You shouldn't be playing video games; you should be studying!" Gohan gave his mother the weirdest look.

"Mom, we're graduating next Tuesday and we are out of school on Friday! There's nothing to study for." ChiChi started yelling again.

"I don't care! You should be getting ready for college!" Gohan rolled his eyes. He couldn't stand his mother's urge to make him smarter.

"Mom, believe me I'm ready for college!" ChiChi sighed.

"Fine, but if you fail college don't come crying to me!" And with that, ChiChi left the room. Gohan looked at Videl. She was stretching.

"Well Gohan, I better be going to bed. I'm pretty tired." Gohan nodded.

"Okay, Videl, see you in the morning." Then Videl went to bed. Gohan looked at his brother.

"Hey, squirt, it's about time you go to bed. It's past your bed time." Goten frowned.

"But I don't want to go to bed. I'm not tired. Please let me stay up. PLEASE?" Gohan started to laugh. He loved how his brother tried to be as cute as he possibly could be. But then…something came up.

"Nope, you have to go to bed. It's 12:00 on the battery powered clock! I'm sure glad that mom isn't here to see how long you've been up…or she would've done…the horrible thing I shall never tell you!" Gohan said looking scared. Goten looked down at the ground.

"Ok…" So then he and Gohan got under the covers and went to sleep. Then all of a sudden, Gohan felt a surge of energy and jumped out of bed.

"Oh my…this energy is awful…it is…STRONGER THE CELLS…I must be imagining things…I'm more tired then I thought. That video game made me exhausted. I better get some sleep." So Gohan got back in bed. It took him a while to fall asleep but he fell peacefully asleep.

( * Hey, was that a little better. A little humor in this chapter. Well anyway, you'll have to R+R, and go easy on the flames please! * )
