Ripplezrain: Can it be true?! Am I actually updating?! YESSSSS!!!!
Gohan, Vegeta, Leggie: *are looking dusty and neglected* *glare viciously at her* You just had to banish us to the most unused recesses of your brain!
Vegeta: At least we had plenty of room to roam around. There's a lot of unused parts of your brain.
Ripplezrain: Hmph. Anyways, I'll tell you why I was MIA for so long. Well, I just stopped watching DBZ, because of lack of new episodes, and quickly lost interest in it. But now, DB/Z/GT's on for like, what, two hours daily on Cartoon Network, so my interest has been renewed. But I want to edit some of the chappies, because, well, it makes me feel that I was so immature back then. Like I said in my author's note that had been taken down by bot (*growls viciously at bot*) I'm going to massacre this story! Hopefully it'll be a lot better, and even with a bit of romance in it! Yep, you heard right, Ripplezrain might just have a shot at romance! After a year of meditation and a strict diet of brownies and tennis balls-
Gohan: WHAT?! TENNIS BALLS?!
Leggie: Lembas are better.
Ripplezrain: *rolls eyes* -I have discovered what romance is! It is when two people like each other, kiss, and get married.
Vegeta: That took you a year to figure out?
Ripplezrain: I know, I'm so smart! And the tennis balls and brownies really sped up the process. Now, back to business. How do you do a disclaimer again? Oh yeah: I do not own DBZ. Sue and I'll banish you to the dark recesses of my unused brain! And I'd really like to thank my reviewers, especially gohan/videlgoten/trunkslover! I was so flattered when you asked me to continue the story in your review, and I think you emailed me about it, too. If not, it was someone else, who I'm also thankful for!

Food Poisoning and Gohan TortureVidel was dumbstruck. What the hell was going on? A happy meal key-chain was talking, the class was mental, homicidal lunatics abounded, and Gohan seemed to know EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON.
He was a dead man.
A very dead man. As in deceased, departed, gone, not alive, etc.
But Gohan was oblivious to the plotting of his untimely demise. He was more focused on his idea. It was so ridiculous that it just might work. KOKOMAUN liked food. Vegeta cooked food. Bad food. But it looked pretty good. The class and his father had dug in, and as a result they were insane just from eating it.
KOKOMAUN was getting impatient. "ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT?!"
Silence.
"WELL?!"
"Oh, sorry, I thought that was rhetorical."
KOKOMAUN sighed. These thickskulled saiyans were hopeless.
"Okay, I'm ready to fight, but first, I have to say something to my friends here." Gohan pointed to Videl and Bulma. "Call it a few last words."
"Last words?" Bulma whispered skeptically. "You could whip that sorry little key-chain! He doesn't even have any arms!"
"And you can't die before you tell me WHAT IS GOING ON!" Videl screeched.
Gohan winced. "There's no time for that right now. I've got a plan. While I distract KOKOMAUN, get out some of Vegeta's food, and place it where KOKOMAUN can see it. Go!"
The two women scampered off into the depths of the refrigerator, leaving Gohan with KOKOMAUN. "Let's get this going!"
The two started attacking each other viciously. For a key-chain, KOKOMAUN was good. Really good. The evil kai easily dodged Gohan's moves and gave off a lot of powerful attacks. (A/N: I suck at fighting scenes, so I'm not going to bother making it too detailed.)
KOKOMAUN clearly had the upper hand. Gohan was tiring, and his years of slacking were showing. As KOKOMAUN was about to finish Gohan off, he looked over the saiyan's shoulder.
FOOD! WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL FOOD! It looked so good that KOKOMAUN had to keep from drooling. It positively shimmered with a radiant glow. KOKOMAUN knew he couldn't wait one more second; he just had to sate his hunger. Floating over to the table where it had been placed, he dug in.
Gohan smiled. This was working perfectly. Just as he had predicted, KOKOMAUN was eating like a madman, and sooner or later, he would go crazy!
But there seemed to be a flaw in Gohan's excellent plan. KOKOMAUN had finished all the food, and he still hadn't gone crazy! He must be too strong for that amount of food poisoning to affect him! "Oh no! I have to get Vegeta to cook more! VEGETA!"
Vegeta soon zoomed in, dragging with him a still-delirious Goku. "What, bratling?"
"And isn't that a beautiful dog, folks? I just love the rhythm and movement of these greyhounds!"
"SHUT UP, KAKARROT!"
Gohan took a deep breath. He never expected to say this in his entire life. "Vegeta, I need you to cook for me."
Silence.
Deep silence.
Utter silence.
Vegeta looked slightly surprised. Then he smirked. "I always knew that my food was delicious!"
"Right…" said Gohan.
Five minutes later, Vegeta, decking a voluminous tickle-me-pink kitchen apron, was busy making some of his disgusting delicacies, and KOKOMAUN was patiently waiting. Goku was still rambling on about the dog show, and a curious and confused Videl was chasing Gohan around the house.
Thirty minutes later, KOKOMAUN was gobbling up Vegeta's food, and Vegeta was sitting around with a smug expression on his face. Videl had lost Gohan somewhere, and Goku's ramblings stopped when the 'dog show' was over. He was just wandering around dazedly and screaming "MONKEY BLADDERS!" at anyone he happened to meet.
Ten minutes after that, Videl had found Gohan and was scaring the poor demi-saiyan out of his wits. Vegeta was still smug. Goku was sleeping contentedly on the couch. But the most amazing thing was what was going on with KOKOMAUN. The black fabric that covered him was starting to turn a most interesting shade of brown. His ears were starting to droop, and a tiny pink tongue was protruding from his mouth.
"What…poison…did…you…feed…me?!" he yelled before he started doing some sort of dance.
"It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A! It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!"
Everyone sweatdropped.
"Young man, there's no need to feel down. I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground. I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town. There's no need to be unhappy!"
More sweatdropping.
"Young man, there's a place you can go. I said, young man, when you're short on your dough. You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time!"
Even more sweatdropping.
"It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A! It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!"
Everyone was drenched in sweat now.
"Oookay then. Hey, KOKOMAUN! You know, if you fly up past this planet and into the stars, you'll find a really good YMCA!" said Gohan.
KOKOMAUN'S eyes widened. "Ooh, really?! I wanna go! See ya later!"
With that said, he rocketed off into space.
Gohan sighed. "Well, I'm glad that's over with!"
"Not so fast, buddy! I have a few questions for you."
Gulp. "Eh, heh. Nice seeing everyone. Gotta go."
"Son Gohan! You can't keep on running away!" yelled Videl.
"Just watch me," Gohan muttered.
And the two ran off into the horizon.
************************************************************************
Epilogue:
KOKOMAUN died after zooming up into the vast nothingness of space, just like Gohan had planned. Vegeta proudly bragged to anyone who would listen that he defeated that evil villain. That's right! The prince of the Saiyans defeated KOKOMAUN, a threat to the universe! Not that third class baka Kakarrot. Unfortunately, no one would listen, except for Trunks, who was bribed into it.
Goku and Gohan's class soon returned to normal. Bulma used a mind-eraser machine to erase the strange events from the minds of everyone in the class, except for Videl. They were planning to erase Videl, too, except she foiled their plan and evaded it so many times that they soon gave up. Still very confused, Videl found out nothing from Gohan, who kept his mouth shut tightly.
And they all lived happily (not really) ever after. (Actually they died some point afterwards, so I guess I couldn't say ever after, could I?) Anyways,
The End!

Ripplezrain: HAHAHAHAHA I FINISHED IT! It was pretty bad, ne? But at least I got it over and done with! *cheers*
