Chapter Three: Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!

An hour later at the mall, Videl was about to pull her hair out. Nothing she picked out would be something this 'Vegeta' would like. What was he? A robot with no feelings, no love of anything, no favorite styles? She's differently wanted to meet this guy.

Videl threw up her hands as Gohan shook his head at another item. "I give up! Why don't you gave him a gag gift?"

Son Gohan thought about this. "That just might work," he muttered. He grabbed Videl's hand and dragged her to a clothing department store. "I saw a couple of them back here once. Where is it?"

"Uh, Gohan…you do know those are pink shirts, right?"

Gohan smiled at her as he showed her one of the pink shirts. "Vegeta used to have a shirt like this once…before it 'accidentally' got destroyed."

"A pink 'Bad Man' shirt?" she questioned.

"Yep. A couple of these shirts will do. He can't destroy all of them at once." A week ago, ChiChi sent him and Goten out clothes shopping. An old friend of hers was getting married and she was invited. She had decide that her boys needed something nice to wear. Goten had found the shirts and wanted Gohan to have one. Of course, Gohan didn't want to 'cramp' Vegeta's style.

"Why did this guy have this shirt if he didn't like it?"

"When he came to this, uh, country…he didn't have no clothes excepted what he was wearing. Bulma gave him the shirt, so know it's a joke with all of the guys," he explain to her as they made the way to the cash register. Gohan paid for the shirts and they left the store.

They were just nearing the food court. Gohan was a goner! As if to agree with him, his stomach grumbled. "You hungry, Videl?" He didn't wait for the raven hair girl's reply. He grabbed Videl's hand and dragged her behind him. He came to the first stop, McDonalds. The pimple face teenager shook his head at Gohan. "I'm sorry, sir, but didn't you read the sign? We're out of order right now."

Gohan didn't wait to here why they were out. He was already at the next place. They told him the same thing. After a couple more minutes of this, Gohan demanded to know why they were out. The small, old Chinese women smiled at him. "We got no food. Truck tip over. Food on road." She smiled up Gohan.

"Did all of the trucks tipped over?"

The old lady smiled again and shook her head. "Nooo, they," she pointed to all of the other mini restaurants, "had food. Big short man came. He ate food. Little baby came, too. He ate food, too. Big short man and little baby ate all food here. No more food." She nodded happily. "We happy. Another truck coming today. Bring food. Business run great."

Gohan's eyes narrowed as he picked up the kis from the 'big short man and little baby'. He stomp over to the table. "I should have known."

"Gohan!"

"A little late getting lunch, boy."

"Yeah. Thanks for saving food for everyone else."

Vegeta smirked. Trunks copied his father. "You're welcome. Mom went out on a date with Yamcha again so--"

"What?" roared the saiyan prince. "She told me she was going shopping! I'll kill that rotten piece of earthling trash!"

"Calm down, Vegeta," Gohan said. He laid his hand on his friend's should and forced him to sit back down. "We ran into them a little while ago--"

Vegeta forgot about his wife and her ex at the mention of 'we'. He turn his piecing black eyes on Videl. She was pretty enough--nowhere as pretty as his woman, but pretty all the same. Long raven hair in pig-tails--a little bit childish but it worked for her. He studied her ki next. It was above average. That was good. "She'll make a fine mate."

Trunks cracked up laughing. "Gohan has a girlfriend! Gohan has a girlfriend! Gohan has a girlfriend! Are ya gonna kiss her?"

Gohan turn blood red. "S-she's not my m-mate!" he stuttered.

"The harpy is going to get a kick out of this."

"You better find your mate. That rotten piece of earthling trash probably been trying to get his up your mate's skirt again."

Vegeta glared at the half saiyan. He grabbed his son and quickly left. Gohan prayed to Dende that Yamcha wouldn't get hurt that bad and that he'll forgive him.

"That was Vegeta?"

Gohan looked down, surprised that she was still there. "Yeah, sorry about him. He was actually every well behaved today. It's weird, now that I think about it." Gohan tried to think why Vegeta was nicer today. His eyes widen. "Goten! He didn't have Goten with him! He must be locked in a closet and he's probably hungry! I got to go Videl!" Gohan took off before Videl could volunteer to came with him.

M=E=G=A=M=I=--=S=A=M=A

"Goten?" Gohan unlocked the closet door. "Are you alright?"

A black and orange blur hurled itself at Gohan's legs. It stated sobbing on his pant leg. "I was so scared! There was no light and the door wouldn't open!" Goten wailed. "Vegeta said we were playing hide-n-seek but he never came to find me. I counted to a hundred like a trillion times! Even Trunks didn't come to find me."

Gohan picked his brother up and smoothed his back. "It's okay. You don't need to cry. You're out of the closet now."

"I don't want Vegeta to be my daddy. He's mean to me." Goten has been going through a faze where he wanted someone to call 'daddy'. Piccolo would never answer to Goten--in fact after a couple days of being called 'daddy', he left to live on the Lookout. Goten then decided to have Vegeta has daddy. Vegeta would never say anything to Goten but he knew what Goten was going through and would tolerate it. Vegeta was probably betting--and hoping--that Goten would tire of calling him 'daddy'. It would look like he was right. "I want to go home…Daddy."

Gohan almost dropped Goten. "What?"

"I want to go home, Daddy," Goten said a little more strongly.

Is this my punishment for telling on Yamcha earlier? Please tell me your joking, Dende. Mom's gonna kill me if she hears this. Gohan took his brother home. ChiChi was rushing around looking for an earring.

"Gohan! You should be dress and going to get that girl! Bulma called me to tell me that your girlfriend was coming to dinner with us. Is she here now? And why didn't you tell me about her, huh?"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Uh-huh," ChiChi said knowingly. She found the missing earring and put it on. She looked closely at Goten. She frowned. "Why was Goten crying?"

"Vegeta and Trunks locked me in a closet."

ChiChi sighed. She knew her youngest son could have gotten out of the closet on his own if he just had tried. But she knew he was Goku's son. He wouldn't have thought to use his strength to knock down the door. She reach out and took Goten.

"I'll help Goten get change. Gohan, you're clothes are laid out on your bed. Change and get your girlfriend."

This time Gohan didn't protest Videl as his girlfriend. His mom would think what she wanted to think and nothing he said could change that. He quickly got change. ChiChi and Goten were waiting outside for him. She took out a capsule and clicked it. Her air car appeared. "We're taking the car to you're girlfriend's so she won't think we're barbaric. Plus I don't want you boys' clothes to get ruined my the wind."

Almost five hours later, ChiChi pulled up at Videl's mansion of a house. "She's rich! I bet you can fit several villages in her house and still have room for more!"

"Mom!" Gohan directed his mom to Videl's house by following her ki. Since it was mostly stationary, he figured she was at home. Gohan ranged the doorbell.

"Yes?" asked the butler.

"Can I talk to Videl?"

"Can I ask who's calling, sir?"

Gohan gave his name and a few minutes later Videl showed up. She invited him in. "What are you doing here?"

Gohan smiled at her as he rubbed the back of his neck. "D-do you want to go to dinner with me? Bulma said to bring a friend and…" he trailed off.

Videl just thought it over for a minute. She didn't want to stay home alone--her father was gone for the weekend for a convention. Erasa was with Sharpener. Plus she wanted to get more information on Son Gohan. The shopping trip didn't help her. She knew already that he was always hungry. "Sure. I'll go and change. I'll be back down in about ten minutes." She ran upstairs to her room.

A couple minutes later Gohan heard Goten knocking in the door. He let him in. "What are you doing, squirt?"

"Mom was looking kind of funny."

Gohan pointed to a picture on the wall. "Hey, squirt, tell me about that painting."

"Okay!" Goten described the painting to his brother and his 'daddy'. He made sure he used colors to help him paint a mental picture of it in his mind. The painting was of a forest in fall with a spring running through it. A deer with its fawn was grazing to one side. Goten was still describing the painting when Videl came down. Goten didn't want his brother to miss even one small detail of it. The two half saiyans turn to look at Videl. She was wearing a knee length, flower print skirt with a blue blouse and flat black dress shoes.

Goten moved closer to Gohan. "Are you Daddy's girlfriend?"

Gohan closed his eyes. He was hoping that Goten would forget about calling him 'daddy'.

Videl was startled. Gohan was a father? She studied the little boy. He did look like Gohan. He was as cute as Gohan was, too. Wait a minute, did I just think that Gohan is cute? Videl shook her head. She couldn't be thinking that.

"Let's get going. My mom would probably be wondering what is taking us so long." Goten scrambled out the door and into the car. "I'll explain about him later, okay?"

Videl nodded.

The Sons and Videl arrived at the restaurant just in time. A.L. Riverfall was a fancy restaurant that had just opened up. One of the reasons why Bulma picked the place was because the boys wouldn't have made a reputation there yet. ChiChi told the hostess which party they were in. They were shown to their seats while the Briefs, the Chestnuts, Yamcha, Tien, Lunch, Chaozu, and Master Roshi were sitting. Piccolo and Dende had declined the invitation.

"Hey Gohan, buddy! Who's the girl?" shouted Krillin.

"The boy has a mate--get over it, shorty."

Gohan blush. "She's not my mate. She's a friend." He usher Videl to a seat. "Videl, that's Lunch next to you. She's engage with Tien. That's Chaozu. Yamcha you've meet. Krillin, his wife #18, and their daughter, Marron. The old guy is Master Roshi. Don't go near him unless you want your butt pinch. You saw Trunks and Vegeta at the mall. And you remember Bulma. Everyone this is Videl Satan."

Vegeta burst out laughing. "You pick that idiotic man's daughter for a mate? I thought I taught you better!"

Videl glared at the spiky hair prince.

"Doesn't anyone see the irony of it?"

"Vegeta, out a sock in it." Gohan sat down. He turn to Videl. "I wouldn't put pepper on your food."

Lunch smiled at her. "I have this condition. You don't want to see me after one of those little 'attacks'."

"Goten! Answer me! You still can't be mad at me. It was a joke."

Goten just glared at his formal best friend. "My Daddy'll beat you up."

Trunks rolled his eyes. "Dad won't do a thing like that. Right Dad?"

Vegeta glanced down at his son. "What did you do?"

"Locked him in a closet."

Vegeta smacked Trunks on the head. "You taught you to do something like that?"

Bulma over heard the conversation. She stood up and pull her son away from the table by his ear. A minute later the two came back. Trunks had a red hand print on his cheek. "I'm sorry, ChiChi, if I had known what he did…"

"I'm sorry, Goten. I won't do it again."

"You promise?" Trunks nodded. "I forgive you."

Little Marron spoke up. "I wanna play with the boys!"

"No!" shouted the boys.

Luckily, the waiter came to take everyone's order. "Wow that's a lot of food!" she exclaimed. "I better get a good tip for this!" She scrambled away to give the cook the order.

"Gohan," Videl whispered. "Does have of these man eat like your?"

"We're saiyans, girl, get use to it," Vegeta told her. "It's in our blood."

"Saiyans?"

Gohan hurried to tell her before his friend could answer. "Vegeta and my dad were the last surviving people from a very small third world country."

"I never heard of it."

"You wouldn't. The island was blown up." Vegeta nodded to Gohan. He wouldn't mess with the boy's relationship with the girl. "Both me and Kakarot was off the…island when a bomb hit it."

Bulma beamed at her husband. She was afraid that he was going to contradict Gohan just to cause trouble. She sighed as she realized that the old Vegeta would have done no such thing. How far the saiyan prince has gone since those days. "ChiChi, Lunch, #18, Videl. Come with me to the powder room, please." The women left the table to go with Bulma.

"Daddy."

All conversation stopped at the table. All of the guys stared at Goten.

"Daddy, why did Goten called Gohan 'daddy'? I thought he was his brother."

Krillin took his eyes off Goku's sons to glance at Marron. "Yeah, sweetheart, that's true. I'm wondering why he called his brother 'daddy', too." Krillin glanced up to look Gohan into the eye.

"Uh, Goten's growing through a faze." Gohan quickly explained about his little brother's fazed. The men nodded in understanding. Poor Son Goten. If only Goku would come back… "Just go along with it," he said. "Mom said that eventually he would go old with this."

"Daddy!"

"What Goten?"

"I have to go to the bathroom," Goten told him as he danced around next to Gohan's chair. Gohan sighed and stood up. He asked a waiter where the bathrooms are and were directed in the right place.

"Goten can you which one his the boy's bathroom?"

Goten glanced at each side. He didn't see 'Boys' on either door. "Gohan, I don't know which one," he said tearing up. "I really have go!"

Lucky for the boys, a man came out of right door. He was waving a hand in front of his face. "Man, I wouldn't go in there! Someone let go a big one. It's horrible!" The speed walk away from the bathrooms as fast as he can go.

Gohan looked down at his brother. "Do you still want to go in there?" Goten nodded. "Hold your breath." He said before he took in a big gulp of fresh air. Goten copied his brother.
