TIGERLILY: Ok, everyone ready for the next chapter? I am, so we'll get started right away-

MIRAI CLONE: *raises eyebrow* Wait a minute. You're going to start the chapter right away? No funny business this time? Really? What's changed?

TIGERLILY: You hush up! You're interupting me and delaying the start of the chapter! Shame on you!

MIRAI CLONE: *blink* But-

TIGERLILY: *glares at her mate, who immediately shuts up*

TIGERLILY: Good, ok, people, I do have to say, about the last chapter, the clones are still up for grabs. So "puppet of the antler", "Kiteekat", "Kakarots-Frying-Pan", "Chaney", "adbzfan2K03", and "VideliGohan", I'm still waiting on you five to claim your new clones. But you'd better hurry.

MIRAI CLONE: *sweatdrops* ***Crazy Onna***

TIGERLILY: *glaring at her mate again* I can read your thoughts Mirai! Bond, remember?!

MIRAI CLONE: *sweatdrops*

TIGERLILY: Now that my mate is finally quiet, here's the disclaimer. Do I really need to repeat myself, you all should get the drill by now anyway. But for you damn lawyers, I don't own the characters of DBZ. I own my clones, my own mate Mirai Trunks *points to her mate who just sweatdrops but doesn't say anything*, Mystic Gohan, Gambit from X-men Evolution, Neil from the Final Fantasy Movie, and my newest clone, Kou Leifoh, from the Bouncer for the PS2 game! They're all mine, except for Gohan, he's my best friend's mate. So now on with the story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Dare

Chapter Fifteen: "Plans For The Future"

"GOHAN!!" Videl cried furiously, her eyes locking on Gohan's terrified ones.

He gulped.

"I knew I shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning." Gohan muttered to himself as he started to backstep towards the door, Videl glaring as she slowly started following him.

"Oh no, you don't, you.....you.....*lying* baka! You're nothing but ajerk, Gohan! You lied to me! You've been lying to me since the moment I first met you! You have a lot of nerve! Who the *hell* do you think you are?! I'm Videl Satan! The daughter of the great Hercule Satan! And you *lied* to me! What *else* have you been keeping from me, huh?! Maybe the whole school should know!" Videl cried furiously as she stepped outside.

"She's gonna kill him." Trunks whispered to Goten matter-of-factly.

"Wow, Gohan. You're mate is almost as scary as Chichi." Goku said.

Gohan and Videl turned to glare at Goku at the same time.

"STAY OUT OF THIS!" The two cried in unison.

Goku gulped.

"This is rediculous! Enough of this! Letting this mere female overpower you! You're a disgrace to my bloodline! And *you!*" Bardock cried angrily at Gohan, before turning to look at Goku.

"I don't even know *where* to begin with you! You mated with an Earthling, you have no tail, you have no sense of honor, or pride, you're not worthy of the title of a Saiyan." Bardock cried.

Goku shrugged his shoulders as the three Saiyan men stared at him in shock.

"I've lived on Earth since I was a child, I didn't find out that I was a Saiyan until Radittz showed up, I've lived on Earth just fine after that. Not to mention, I;ve been dead for the past seven years. Doesn't really bother me whether you think I'm worthy of being a Saiyan or not." Goku said.

Trunks and Goten burst out into laughter.

"Gohan! I want the truth and I want it now, or so help me, the entire school will know about this tomorrow!" Videl promised as Gohan sighed in defeat.

"Ok, ok, I'll tell you. But you have to promise that you won't tell anyone else, ok? Promise me, Videl." Gohan said. Videl nodded, still glaring at Gohan furiously.

"Ok, now let me think for a moment, here.....where do I begin?.....Well, I guess I'd have to explain a little about my father first.....this is gonna take a while." Gohan said, looking around the group.

Videl frowned at him as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I don't care how long it takes! I'm not leaving until you've told me everything! Starting with how you can fly, why your hair can turn gold, why that little girl keeps following you, and why she called me Mama earlier!" Videl cried, getting angry again.

Gohan sweatdropped as he nodded his head.

"I'm gonna tell you, I promise.....it's just that....." Gohan began, looking at everyone again.

"What?" Videl asked as Gohan looked back at her.

"Not here." Gohan said, leaning in to whisper in Videl's ear.

"What are you talking about?" Videl asked looking at Gohan strangely.

"Come on, I know a place where we can talk in private." Gohan whispered.

"Why?" Videl asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"You don't know my family like I do. Trust me, it's better we talk in private. I have a lot to tell you, and I really don't need my crazy, grandchild-happy mother, my recently revived father who has been dead since I was eleven, my evil grandfather and my evil uncle, my nieve brother, my future daughter, an egotistical, self-absorbed Saiyan Prince, his super genius mate, and their evil, demon spawn son, and the pretty cool one from the future, *all* distracting me from what I need to tell you. Trust me on this, ok?" Gohan whispered.

"What do you mean, your future daughter?" Videl asked as Gohan blushed.

"Just trust me." Gohan whispered back, then without any further warning, wrapped an arm around Videl's waist before she could protest, and took off into the sky, leaving the rest of the Z fighters wondering what had just happened.

"Um....Should we follow them?" Goku asked as King Vegeta shook his head.

"We'll leave your brat and his mate alone for a while. We have other important matters to deal with anyhow. And it would appear that my son is approaching. We'll get the answers we seek, from him." King Vegeta said, turning around.



"What in the hell?!" Vegeta asked in shock as he landed. He stared at the men around him before he turned to look at his mate.

"Onna! What the hell is going on around here?!" Vegeta asked.

It never failed, if something went wrong that the Saiyan Prince couldn't understand, the damn onna always had the answers.

"Vegeta! How the hell am *I* supposed to know?!" Bulma shot back, glaring at her mate.

King Vegeta looked from his son to his son's mate intrieged.

"Although I am furious with you for mating with this Earthling female, my son, I can see why you would chose her as your mate. She may not be of Saiyan blood, but she certainly acts the part. Her sharp tongue reminds me of my own mate." King Vegeta said, a smirk on his lips.

Vegeta stared at his father in shock. He wasn't sure how his father was alive again, but he was approving of his son's mate? He smirked as he looked at the confused Bulma.

His father was right. She was more Saiyan-like than she knew. With her sharp wit and her stubborn nature, she acted like a true Saiyan female. The only differnce being the lack of a tail, and the fact that female Saiyans were more built that these frail Earth creatures. And her blue hair.....but that was just his mate for you.

"Father, I do not understand. How is it that you're alive?" Vegeta asked, looking at his father. King Vegeta looked at his son, a smirk on his lips.

"Hmph. Your Kami, I believe Kakarrot's brat called him Dende, brought us here. Although, he really didn't explain why." King Vegeta said.

"That doesn't explain why *Kakarrot* is here!" Vegeta said, looking at Goku and glaring at him as Goku grinned back at the Saiyan Prince.

"But Vegeta, I thought you'd be happy to see me. Estatic even. I was thinking, maybe a good spar would be a great way to see what you've learned in these seven years I've been gone." Goku said, a slighy smirk on his lips.

"A spar huh?" Vegeta asked, licking his lips and smirking at Goku.

"Yes, that sounds like a great idea, Kakarrot. I'm surprised your puny brain didn't overload with the thought process you must have gone through." Vegeta said, smirking even more.

"Vegeta! Sparring with this third class Saiyan? What are you up to my son?" King Vegeta asked as Vegeta shrugged his shoulders.

"I want to see if Kakarrot has learned anything *useful* in his years in Other World. Besides, when you are one of the last two survivors of the Saiyan race, you have to make sacrifices to grow stronger. Including sparring with a baka like this moron." Vegeta said.

"Oh no you don't, Vegeta! Did you forget about what happened this morning?! You broke the Gravity Riim again, and I told you no sparring for a week until it's fixed! I'm sick of your repeated destruction around the house! Are you *trying* to blow up my house as well as the rest of Capsule Corp with it?!" Bulma cried as Vegeta snorted at her impatiently.

"Damn Onna! I *will* spar with Kakarrot if I so please! It's been seven years, I've waited long enough! At long last, I shall prove who really is the strongest Saiyan in the universe!" Vegeta cried as Bulma glared at him evenly.

"Vegeta, you so much as throw *one* punch at Goku, and you can kiss your Gravity Room goodbye! And if that's not enought , you can start cooking your own meals, that is if you can keep from burning down the kitchen, and you can sleep on the couch for the next three months!" Bulma cried.

King Vegeta raised an eyebrow, curious to see how much power this one Earth female held over his son. Vegeta growled something low in his throat, before stomping inside. Bulam turned to look at King Vegeta, and nodded her head in triumph. King Vegeta was stunned, but at the same time, impressed too.

"Not bad, Earthling. You really have my son on a tight leash." King Vegeta said with a chuckle as Bulma smiled at him.

"It comes with the territory. Listen, I take it you don't have a place to stay, so if you'd like, you can stay at Capsule Corp with us. You are Vegeta's family, after all. Besides, if you're anything like Vegeta or my son, you'll get plenty of use of of the Gravity Room." Bulma said.

King Vegeta nodded. He wanted to get to know moe about this planet and it's people. Besides, he wanted to obtain the status of Super Saiyan as well. If his son and Bardock's brat could do it, then so could the ruler of Vegeta-sei!

"We don't have a whole lot of room here, but you *are* family, and you're welcome to stay. But no blowing up anything in or around the house or Chichi will kill me." Goku said, a little panic stricken. Bardock and Radittz looked at each other for a moment, before nodding at Goku.

"Looks like I'm going to have to make some extensions to the house or something." Goku said, looking at the little white house.

"Yeah, I don't think it's going to be able to handle five Saiyans living under one roof. Better make sure Chichi is ok with it too, Goku." Bulma said as Goku nodded, then gulped.

Maybe he should have stayed in Other World after all.
