Torture From A Hat Chapter Three
Gohan scratched the back of his head and laughed. "Sorry about that Videl!"
Videl rolled her eyes and marched past him. She opened the door, stalked inside, and fell into a chair with a sigh of relief. Her job was awful, to say the least. There had been no sparring or practice matches so far, so she had to be the assistant to a ditzy blonde who talked way too much in a valley girl voice and probably had no idea where her elbow is. She groaned and slammed her forehead on the table in front of her, leaving it there.
Gohan, who sensed there was something wrong with her, eased into a chair next to her. He looked at her for a moment before speaking. "So…uh…you have anything you want to talk about?"
Videl finally lifted her head from the table as she spoke. "My job sucks. I'm starving and I just realized I left my lunch at home."
Gohan, being the nice guy that he is, replied, "Well, you can have some of my lunch."
"Are you sure? I mean I don't want to eat all your food."
Instead of answering, he took a capsule out of his pocket, pushed the button on the top, and threw it on the table. When the cloud of smoke cleared, Videl's jaw dropped. In front of her was heaps of food, on the verge of falling off the table. She glanced at Gohan and noticed he was inhaling the food at a rapid pace.
Gohan looked up when he felt her eyes on him. "Dugh fin, Fidgel!" (Translation~ Dig in, Videl) Videl looked at him disgusted, but took him up on his offer, quickly getting some food off the table before Gohan ate it all. By the time she was finished with her plate, Gohan had finished with the table. Videl was about to start interrogating him about how he could eat the much when a timer beeped, signaling the end of their break. Videl groaned and stood up.
"Well, time to go back to that lovely job." Videl grumbled, half to herself, half directed at Gohan. Gohan simple grinned and walked out, leaving Videl alone in the room. Videl sighed and walked out after him with her feet dragging the whole way.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gohan looked around the room and almost laughed. Everybody was strewn over various machines, benches, and chairs. Some were even lying flat out on the hard floor. 'Looks like everybody takes an after lunch nap.' Looking around he saw that one pair of eyes was watching him. He smirked when he realized that they were Yamcha's eyes. Stepping over a couple people, he walked over to him.
"Outside." Was all he said, and with that he turned on his heel and walked out the building. A minute later, Yamcha came outside too and looked at Gohan.
"How much did you tell Kaline and Lyssa?"
"Umm. They know you are really strong, stronger than me. They don't know you're not completely human. They know you were at the Cell Games."
"Did you tell them I was the one to defeat Cell?"
"No. But they don't believe that Hercule defeated him, so they have no idea who did. They've been trying to get it out of me since they found out that I was there. So far, I've been able to keep it a secret."
"Try to keep it that way."
Yamcha gulped and nodded. Gohan walked away and entered the building just as everybody was waking up. He looked at the clock and the wall and groaned. It was 1:00. He still had 2 hours left of the day before the bus came. (A/N I'm basing the time their school gets out on my school.) He sat in the chair that he was in earlier and leaned back onto the wall, balanced on the back two legs of the chair. He closed his eyes and sighed. The next two hours passed rather uneventfully with only a few people signing in or out.
When it was 2:55, he waved goodbye to Yamcha, Kaline, and Lyssa, and left. Once he was outside, he scanned around for Videl and spotted her. He jogged over to her and grinned.
"Hey Videl."
She just grunted and kept walking. Gohan sighed and decided that maybe this wasn't the best time to start a conversation with her, so he just walked silently beside her. When they reached the spot that the bus had dropped them off and where it was supposed to pick them up, she finally decided to speak.
"My job is a living HFIL. I had to stop myself at least 5 times from strangling the ditzy blonde girl."
"Well maybe it'll be better tomorrow." 'I'll send Yamcha and the girls out to the ring tomorrow. Wait…why do I care? Maybe it's because she's so beautiful. ARRGGHHH!! Where did that come from?"
"I doubt it."
After that, they fell back into silence until the bus came. When they got on, they noticed that everyone was either asleep from exhaustion or in stated of shock. Gohan wasn't surprised to find that the people in shock were the people who had a job at CC. Gohan shook his head in sympathy. He knew what was wrong with them: Vegeta's attitude and Trunks and Goten's pranks. Those combined would send anybody into shock.
Quickly finding an empty seat, he sat down in it and Videl plopped won next to him. Videl let out a sigh of relief from leaving the worst job on the face of the planet and closed her eyes. Gohan watched her with a small smile on his face. 'She looks to beautiful and peaceful like that. AHH!!!! Stop thinking like that Gohan!' he thought, mentally whacking himself of his forehead. The whole bus was completely silent during the duration of the ride, seeing how everyone was too worn out to talk.
They got to the school just as the bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Everybody that was asleep jerked awake and stumbled off the bus. Since they all had their own cars and driver's licenses they just walked around and talked to their friends about how bad their jobs were.
Gohan, Videl, and Sharpener were walking around the school when they came across Erasa. She was sitting on a bench with her head in her hands. When she head the three of them approaching, she looked up, She looked at them with a look of horror on her face. The trio exchanged glances and simultaneously they surrounded her.
"You won't believe what I have seen today." Erase said shakily.
Videl patted her back and smiled. "We can only imagine. Hey, let's go to the Ice Cream Shoppe. My treat."
Erasa smiled and stood up, almost back to her talkative self. "Sure, speaking of jobs, how is yours?"
"Pretty bad. I had to put up with a girl who probably didn't know where her nose is."
"Ouch…at least you don't have horror stories to tell…"
Sharpener and Gohan looked at each other with raised eyebrows as they girls walked off.
"Shows how much they care about us. Not even inviting us to go, yeesh. Well bookworm, I'm off." Sharpener walked off, leaving Gohan by himself.
Gohan rolled his eyes as he walked towards a secluded alley where he could change into Saiyaman.
Once he had done so, he took off flying. He knew he should go straight home in case his mother had something that she wanted him to do. His curiosity got the better if him however, and he changed his course so he was heading towards CC. After about 10 minutes of uneventful flying, he landed at the back of the CC building. He walked towards the back door that only family and friends used, and punched in the code that only the Z warriors and family knew. The door immediately opened and he walked into a practically unused hallway. The rooms that were on the hallway were used for rejuvenation tanks and Bulma's secret inventions. The last time somebody had gone down the hall was put into the hospital by Vegeta because of severe broken bones and burns, and he ended up having amnesia. Since then no one has dared to come even close to the off limits wing.
A/N Well..yah….that's where I left it. I have no idea where I was going…I can't figure it out and neither can any of my friends. ::sigh:: I guess I'll have to come up with something. Blargh…RR please!
