MIRAI: *staring off into space*

LILY: *sweatdrops* Heh heh, first his beloved sword goes missing and now his girl shows up. Who said Gohan had to be my only victim?

LILY: But anyway, you should all know the drill, and if you don't, don't come crying to me! Heh heh, um....yeah...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, Kou Leifoh from the Bouncer for the PS2 game, and my newest clone, Inuyasha, my Demi-Demon Doggie! *pounces on said hanyou and starts tickling his kawaii ears as Inuyasha struggles in vain to escape* They're all mine, except for Gohan, he's my best friend's mate. So now on with the story.

LILY: Oh, and keep them reviews coming, k? Enjoy ladies and gents.

The Dare

Chapter Twenty Eight " Water Fun "

"What took you guys so long?" Videl asked as soon as Gohan and Mirai finally walked out of the back entrance of CC, and out onto the huge padio that stood before the swimming pool.

Or more accurately, the inground swimming pool the size of three olympic sized ones.

The boys were both shirtless, already in their swimming trunks, and being their modest selves, oblivious to the open jawed stares they were attracting by every single female member of the class. Videl, on the other hand, growled at a brunette that was eyeing Gohan a little too much.

"We couldn't find the boys or Pan. Er.....what's the matter Videl?" Gohan asked, staring at the girl oddly. She turned to look back at him, blushing despite herself as she shook her head violently.

"N-nothing. Forget about it Gohan. Come on, are you coming in or not? The water's great." Videl said with a smile, as Mirai chuckled lightly.

"Of course it is. Mom has the entire pool heated regularly, even through winter." Mirai said.

"Which certainly is nice on a cool fall evening." Mika said, walking up to the trio as she smiled at them all, already in her bathing suit, a cute black two piece. Videl frowned at the girl, but was surprised that she was completely ignoring Gohan, and instead, smirking at the blushing Mirai.

"Em......I don't mean to sound rude, but who are you?" Videl asked as the red head smiled at her, reaching behind her at the same time to undo her braid.

"Mika. I'm a friend of Trunks's." Mika said, smiling at Videl.

"Actually-" Gohan began with a half-smirk, before Mirai turned to glare at him, snarling at him so lightly, Gohan could barely hear it. Laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head, he headed over towards the diving board.

"What is your deal? Kami." Mika said, shaking her head lightly, running her fingers through her hair at the same time. Finally, she turned to smile at Trunks, before walking past Gohan, and beating him to the diving board.

"Mika, what are you-?" Trunks asked, frowning slightly as he and Videl caught up with Gohan.

Mika didn't say anything as she winked at Trunks, before springing off the board and diving gracefully into crystal blue water below. After she broke the surface, she swam to the side, and climbed out a second later, her hair clinging to her shoulders. Whether she noticed the guys gawking at her or not, she ignored them to smile at Videl.

"Come on, you ARE coming in too aren't you? I don't know much about Gohan, but Trunks can be such a spoil sport sometimes." Mika said. With a smile, Videl nodded at the girl, before taking off her white tee-shirt, to reveal a navy blue bikini.

Gohan blinked.

Then his jaw dropped.

Mirai chuckled as he elbowed Gohan in the ribs, before walking over to the girls, and with a sinister smirk at Mika, who eyed him suspiciously, lifted her up, kicking and screaming with laughter, and dropped her into the water, before diving in after her.

Gohan laughed nervously as he shook his head to smile at Videl, before an idea popped in his head. With a grin, he hoisted the raven haired girl over his shoulder and smirked as he gently threw her into the water.

"GOHAN! I'll get you for that you.......you..........argg!" Videl cried as she spat water out of her mouth. Gohan chuckled as he bent down beside the edge, smiling at her as she swam back over towards him.

"You looked like you could use a dip Videl." Gohan said with a chuckle.

"Just help me outta here would you you big jerk!" Videl spat, as Gohan chuckled down at her, but extended his arm so she could take his hand and pull herself out.

The second she grabbed his hand, she yanked the startled demi-saiyan into the water along with her. When he came up again, she narrowed her eyes at him, tredding water at the same time.

"Do that again. I dare you." Videl said, as Gohan looked at her terrified.

"I...I won't. I promise." Gohan said before Videl started laughing suddenly.

"You should see the look on your face, Gohan! Like I'm gonna hit you or something." Videl said with a laugh.

"You don't know my mother very well do you? She's always hitting my Dad with that frying pan of hers." Gohan said with a shutter.

"What's the deal with that anyhow?" Videl asked.

"Er......long story. One I'd really rather not share to be honest." Gohan said with a blush as Videl smiled at him before leaning in kissing him on the cheek as he stared at her in shock and disbelief. She chuckled at him as she turned and swam away, in the direction where Mika and Mirai were engaged in a water fight, splashing at each other.

After a few moments, Gohan swam over to join his friends and.......girlfriend?

The thought made him blush deeply.

Since the entire class was making sure to avoid them at all costs anyhow, Gohan, Mirai, Videl, and Mika started up their own game of chicken in a part of the pool where they could touch the bottom. Videl on Gohan's shoulders and Mika on Mirai's they tried to knock the other team over until finally, laughing so hard their sides began to hurt, they decided to play marco polo instead.

Until they stopped once Mika realized that Gohan and Mirai's saiyan hearing was a disavantage to the girls. For the next two hours they relaxed, swimming lazily around the pool.

Until a loud explosion was heard from deep inside CC.

"Son of a- VEGETA!" Bulma cried furiously, tearing off into CC.

Gohan and Mirai sweatdropped, before chuckling to themselves.

**************************************************************************** ******

"Alright! That's three more dragonballs! Only two more to go and then we can make our wishes!" Trunks cried, grinning at Pan and Goten.

"But Trunks, what will we wish for?" Goten asked.

"Hmm. Don't know.......but it's gotta be.......something REALLY good.......cause we're probably gonna die anyway when Gohan, Mirai, and Piccolo figure out we're summoning the dragon. And we'll have to do it really fast too. But........what should we wish for?" Trunks asked.

"Didn't you say something about our tails earlier Trunks?" Goten asked as the lavander haired demi-saiyan stared at his best friend in shock.

"Would you STOP doing that." Trunks said.

"What Trunks?" Goten asked confused.

"Sounding smart. It's starting to frighten me." Trunks said.

"Oh, ok." Goten said with a grin as Trunks just shook his head.

"Would you stop trying to manipulate my uncle Goten, Trunks? Maybe Auntie Bulma was right. You are evil." Pan said.

"I am not." Trunks said, crossing his arms over his chest and scowling lightly.

"But Trunks, my brother says your Dad was once a really mean and evil guy, and he says evilness is heredi.......hereditary." Goten said, smiling to himself.

"Er.....what does your brother know anyway? You two are Kakarrot's spawn......whoever Kakarrot it." Trunks said.

"Carrot?" Pan asked confused as Trunks shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, it's something my Dad always says about Gohan and Goten." Trunks said.

"But why-?" Goten began, looking utterly confused as Trunks shrugged his shoulders.

"How should I know? My Dad's just weird sometimes." Trunks said, before taking off into the air, the other two right behind him.

**************************************************************************** ******

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO MY KITCHEN?!" Bulma cried as she stared at Goku and Vegeta.

Goku was sobbing silently on the floor, with what looked to Bulma to be the remains of the refrigerator smoking less than ten feet infront of him as Vegeta stood blinking in disbelief at the smoking appliance. Suddenly, with a cry of blind rage, Vegeta snapped all the way to ssj, and rounded on Goku so fast the other Saiyan hardly knew what hit him.

"YOU SON OF A- YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A WARRIOR! HOW DARE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" Vegeta roared as Goku struggled to hold him off.

"It was an accident Vegeta, honest." Goku managed to reply.

"VEGETA! Knock it off! Of course it was an accident! WHICH I WANNA KNOW HOW IN THE HELL *THAT* HAPPENED! But more importantly, YOU KNOW HOW PRECIOUS IT IS TO HIM. IT'S ALMOST A HOLY OBJECT TO GOKU!" Bulma roared.

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN, ONNA! HE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE HE.......HE......" Vegeta cried out in an exasperated half cry, half sob.

"Vegeta, it was an accident. We can buy a new frig, Kami!" Bulma said, shaking her head.

"IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE MATTER ONNA! AND NOW KAKKAROT IS GONNA FACE HIS DEATH LIKE A SAIYAN!" Vegeta roared, powering up to ssj2.

"Shit." Goku muttered, before tearing outta CC, Vegeta on his heels.

"Vegeta! Goku! VEGETA! SON OF A-" Bulma began.

"Eh......Bulma? What was that all about?" Gohan asked, walking into the house with Mirai and the girls right behind him, the girls both wrapped up in fuzzy blue towels. Bulma sighed deeply.

"From what I can understand, your father accidently blew up my frig." Bulma said.

Gohan and Mirai's faces paled a sickly white.

"I know, I know." Bulma said, throwing her hands over her head and stomping back to the class.
