Chapter 30: Oh What Fun Can Be Had
I do not own Dragonball Z.
============================================================================
"What do you think you're doing with my girl, brains?!" yelled Sharpner upon seeing Gohan and Videl making out on the couch. Erasa promptly elbowed him in the gut.
"Sorry Videl, I...umm...hello? Earth to Videl?" Apparently the two teens on the couch didn't hear her or Sharpner because they were still making out like nothing ever happened.
"Don't mind them," said Sakura as she grabbed a handful of popcorn.
"They always icky kissy," chirped two year old Luciandra while making a disgusted face.
The sound of dishes gently clanging together could be heard as Olivia entered the room with a 'lite snack.' "Are those two still at it? I swear they'll wear their lips out. It seems like they're kissing every time I turn around." Sakura laughed at her while Erasa gawked and Sharpner tried to catch his breath.
"Like you have to tell me," replied Sakura. "Oh, and you owe me five zeni. They didn't kiss at school." Olivia raised an eyebrow at her.
"Are you sure? You know you can't watch them all the time."
"Well I'm sure if they had then the entire school would have known." Olivia smiled at her.
"Alright dear, but next time I expect proof. And as for you two," she turned to address Gohan and Videl. "Your snack is here."
Erasa and Sharpner gawked as the two teens suddenly shot apart and dove for the food as though nothing had happened. And then saw Olivia pluck Luciandra out of mid air before she could dive face first into a plate of chocolate cake.
"You know you're not allowed to have that young lady!" scolded Olivia. Luciandra gave her her version of Goten's patented puppy dog eyes. "Ok...you can have one piece."
"Umm...ok..." Sharpner reached for the chip bowl in front of Gohan only to have his hand snapped at by the growling teen.
"Gohan!" Exclaimed Olivia as she smacked him on the head with a serving tray while plopping Luciandra down next to the table where she did a perfect imitation of her big sister. "Stop that! You're lucky your mother isn't here young man," scolded the woman, causing Gohan to pale and Videl to pause for an instant.
"Sorry Sharpner," said Gohan as he shoved the chip bowl towards the blonde.
"So what do you want to do for our report?" asked Sharpner as he popped a couple of chips into his mouth.
"I don't know," replied Gohan, Videl, and Sakura.
Erasa rolled her eyes and said, "Well you three are a big help."
"Aren't we now" chirped Sakura while tossing a milk dud at Gohan; the demi-Saiya-jin caught it and popped it into his mouth.
"Well I think that the idea I like best," said Sharpner, "and the one that is the least amount of work for us, is for your dad to come to class and tell us about his life." Gohan about choked on his soda.
"Wh-what? No way! He can't!"
"Why not? It'd save us a lot of work," replied Erasa.
"Because it'd be a disaster that's why!" yelled Gohan. "I can see the headlines now, Orange Star High School Destroyed by a mysterious explosion! No, absolutely not!" Sharpner and Erasa stared at him like he had grown a second head or something before bursting into laughter.
"That's a good one Gohan," said Sharpner while slapping the demi-Saiya-jin on the back. Videl and Sakura looked at each other for in their minds the destruction of Orange Star High was all too easy to picture.
"Nice idea but no. You have to write a report. Now you may interview Mr. Son if you wish but you cannot have him come in and talk." Sharpner frowned at their history teacher. He had finally gotten Gohan to consider his idea last night but now the teacher had just shot him down.
"Ok, so does mean that we can't have Gohan's daddy come here and tell us about his life instead of writing a report?" The teacher sighed at the blonde.
"Yes, it means exactly that."
"Oh, ok then," replied Erasa before going back to her seat.
Upon opening the door to the Son home the five teens were immediately assaulted by blaring music. "Kaa-san! Tou-san! I'm home!" yelled Gohan. But with the music so loud it was impossible to tell if anyone had heard him.
Videl bent over and picked up a vase with silk flowers in it that had vibrated off a shelf and put it back in its place.
Gohan, Videl, and Sakura new that music this loud could only be coming from one place in the house, the living room. When Chi-Chi had mentioned a few months ago that she wanted to get a surround sound stereo system to Bulma the woman had insisted on helping her pick it out. And as Bulma does more often then not she insisted on them getting the very latest and greatest model. Which just happened to be free for the family since the owner of the company that manufactures it insisted on it being a gift.
When the teens entered the living room they were greeted by very much like the one Sharpner and Erasa had encountered upon entering the home theater in the Satan home. Only instead of two teens making out it was two adults. And instead of them being on the couch they were on the floor. Wow, she's pretty hot, thought Sharpner.
Gohan quickly made his way over to the stereo and turned it down. From their entangled position on the floor Chi-Chi and Goku looked up and saw the two teens.
"Hey son, I guess we didn't hear you and your friends come in," said Goku while a slightly blushing Chi-Chi disentangled herself from her husband and stood up.
"Jee, I wonder why," snickered Sakura.
Chi-Chi quickly fastened a few buttons and smoothed out a few wrinkles, "So who are your friends?"
"This is Sharpner and Erasa," said Videl. "Erasa is an old..." She trailed off upon seeing her friend's gaze fixated on the rock hard abs and well toned pecks of Goku. "Err...Erasa's an old friend of mine."
Chi-Chi smirked as she stepped between her husband and the girl; Erasa seemed to snap out of it once the object of her fixation was out of sight. "I don't mind you looking but keep your hands off," said Chi-Chi before turning and seductively trailing and hand up her husband's stomach. "He's all mine, she added before capturing Goku's lips with her own.
Sakura rolled her eyes at the couple and practically yelled, "You two are worse then them!" said the blue haired beauty while pointing at Gohan and Videl.
"Hey!" exclaimed the two demi-Saiya-jins.
"Oh yea, sorry. I forgot. Nobody is as bad as you two, replied Sakura.
Goku chuckled at the teens before saying, "So what brings you all here?"
"You do," replied Erasa. Goku gave him is oft seen puzzled expression.
"We have to write a report on you for history class, Tou-san," clarified Gohan.
"Oh... Well have fun. Chi-Chi and I'll see you later," said Goku as he tried to lead his wife from the room.
"Goku, dear, they probably need to interview you," said Chi-Chi. Goku sighed and pouted. If there was one thing he disliked as much as, or maybe even more then, not getting fed was being denied his 'alone time' with Chi-Chi.
"Fine. But I don't know why you can't just give them what info they need," the Saiya-jin said to Gohan. Gohan just shrugged. "I'll tell you what you need to know but tonight you're staying at Videl's."
Erasa and Sharpner looked awestruck. Here were Gohan's parents telling him he was going to stay at his girlfriend's house when they must surely know that the two spend a lot of free time sucking face with each other.
"Is Goten staying with us too?" asked Videl.
"Heavens no dear," replied Chi-Chi. "He's staying at Bulma's so that Vegeta can enjoy the pleasure of his son and Goten." Gohan, Videl, and Sakura snickered. They knew that when those two are together they're anything but pleasant.
"Umm...excuse me, but do you mean Bulma Briefs? Owner of the biggest company in the world?" Goku smiled at her.
"So you've heard of her?"
"Of course we've heard of her!" exclaimed Sharpner. "She's only the owner of the Capsule Corp! Not to mention the richest and prettiest multi-billionaire in the world!"
"You're telling me that you KNOW her?"
"Of course I know her. We met when I was a kid," replied Goku.
"...and when I..."
"I'm sorry Goku, but Sharpner and I should really be going. It's getting late and we've got school tomorrow," said Erasa as she closed her notebook.
"Aww...can't you stay just a little longer? I didn't get to the part about this biiiig," he held out his arms to emphasize, "fish I had for lunch the other day."
Erasa and Sharpner rolled their eyes. It's probably just like all the other biiiig fish you told us about, thought the teens.
"That's ok. I think we can do without that for our report," replied Sharpner.
"And besides, we can always fill them in on the important stuff latter," said Gohan while he, Videl, and Sakura mentally snickered.
"Gohan, Videl, Erasa, Sakura, Sharpner. Could I talk to you for a minute please?"
"Yes sensei," replied the teens as they got up from their seats.
"First let me say that your...creativity was exceptional. But this was supposed to be about someone's life. Not a science fiction story."
"What do you mean sensei?" asked Gohan.
"I mean that this," she held the paper in front of him, "can't possibly be real." Sharpner and Erasa looked at her in confusion.
"What do you mean? We wrote exactly what Mr. Son told us," said Erasa.
"Do you expect me to believe that? The Son Goku that defeated the Red Ribbon Army single handedly couldn't possibly be the same Son Goku who won the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai! He would have been just a kid!"
"But he is the same Goku. And he was just a kid when he defeated the Red Ribbon Army," replied Gohan.
The teacher looked at Gohan with skeptical eye, "And you know this how?"
"Because he's my father." And as if to prove his point, none other then Goku flew in through an open window.
"Hey Gohan! I was...is there something wrong with her?" asked Goku while pointing to the very pale teacher sitting behind her desk. A second later she fainted and tumbled from her seat. Now someone coming in through the window would be strange enough. But when you put that together with the fact that the class room they were in was on the top most floor of the school you can understand why the teacher reacted the way she did.
"So does this mean that class if canceled today?" asked Sharpner.
"Should we do something?" pondered Erasa.
Goku turned to his son and said, "You wouldn't happen to have any food on ya would you son?"
Gohan sighed as a barrage of questions ushered forth from his classmates, "Did you just come in from the window?" "Were you flying?" "Who are you and will you go out with me?" "How much hair jell do you have to use to get your hair like that?"
Videl giggled at the feelings she was picking up from Gohan and decided to reply for him. "Yes, class is canceled. You can go get the nurse. No, we do not have any food. No, he did not come in through the window or fly. He is very happily married and is not available for dates. And he doesn't use hair gel." The students stared at her. "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"It looked like he was flying to me!" "And I'm definitely sure I saw him come in through the window!" replied two of her classmates.
"Well you're both wrong!" barked Videl, her temper flaring a bit. Gohan snickered at the cowering of his fellow students. Of course he would be joining them if Videl's anger was turned on him, but thankfully that rarely happens.
"Kakarott!!!"
"Oh no..." mumbled two demi-Saiya-jins and the daughter of a triclops. The three, along with their classmates, turned towards the windows to see Vegeta clearly hovering in the air outside the school.
Goku grinned at his fellow Saiya-jin, "Hey Vegeta! What brings you here?"
"Don't hey me you third class baka! You know damn well why I'm here!"
Goku used all of his formidable intellect to think about it but stopped when he felt his brain cramp up. "Nope, I don't think I do."
"ARRRGGG! You damn third class baka!" The mighty prince of two Saiya-jins readied a ki blast to blow his way into the school and probably start a fight with Goku in the middle of fourth hour.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Vegeta," said Sakura. "Or at least I wouldn't want to be you when Bulma finds out about it." Vegeta glared at her but absorbed the ball of energy back into his body.
Several tenuous seconds whispered by before Vegeta spoke again. "That harpy of yours called the Onna because someone tried to cook and left the kitchen a mess. And they so kindly forced me to find your sorry ass and tell you that if you're not home soon then you'll have to find your own meals for the rest of the week."
"Err..." Goku scratched at the back of his head. "Got to go!" In the blink of an eye the Saiya-jin vanished, having decided that instant transmission was the best way to return home. But what he found upon entering his home wasn't what he had expected. The blinds were pulled down over the windows, a fire crackled in the hearth, candles were scattered about the room, and Chi-Chi, clad only in a sheer little nothing of black lace, peered up at him from where she lay on the couch. The mighty Saiya-jin grinned down at her and said, "Does this mean I'm not in trouble?"
Gohan sighed as he, Videl, and Sakura walked out of Orange Star High, "What a day..." Sakura clapped the demi-Saiya-jin on the back.
"Cheer up man. It could have been a lot worse."
"You know, every time someone says that it could have been worse, something worse always happens," replied Gohan.
"Aww...don't be so pessimistic. You should be more like Del and I!"
Videl eyed the blue haired teen warily, ::Remind me to never again let her drink three sodas in five minutes.::
::Ok.:: replied Gohan. "But...oh shit!" Videl and Sakura looked at him in surprise. It wasn't every day you heard the son of Chi-Chi curse.
"What is it Gohan-chan?" asked Videl.
"You don't feel that?!"
"Feel wha...." Videl's eyes widened in shock as she felt it too. "Oh shit!"
Sakura raised an eyebrow at her two friends, "You two gonna keep me in the dark or are you gonna let me in on what's got you two so worked up?"
"Just...we better get there before something bad happens!" Sakura watched in confusion as Gohan and Videl blasted into this sky.
"What's up with them?" she asked herself before reaching out with her senses. "Oh my..." a smile crept onto her face."This could be really good for a laugh..."
"What the hell do you think you're doing Goten?!" yelled Gohan as he and Videl touched down in the middle of a crowd of awed onlookers at Satan City Park .
Goten stopped juggling the three balls of twisted metal; the slide, swing set, and jungle gym in their former life, and grinned at his brother. "Hi Nii-chan! Hi Nee-chan!"
"Goten," Videl's tone of voice wasn't as panicked as Gohan's, "you're in big trouble mister!" The young demi-Saiya-jin gave her his clueless, puzzled look since that's exactly what he was.
"W-why'm I in t-twouble?" he asked as his eyes filled with tears. "I d-didn't do anything wrong! T-Trunks s-said I c-couldn't do i-it..."
"Shut up Goten!" yelled Trunks. The situation had been quite amusing until they had shown up and ruined it. Now he would more then likely not get any dinner.
"So you tricked Goten into juggling the playground equipment?" asked Sakura as she landed amongst them. "I'm impressed Trunks. I wouldn't of thought of that."
"What are you... You wouldn't have thought of that?!" asked Gohan, it looked like he was about ready to blow up.
"Yep! I've been giving him lessons on how to pull pranks and stuff," chirped Sakura.
"I...I...I..." Gohan fell to the ground and curled up into a ball. "Why me...why me....why me..."
"Shh...it's ok Go-chan..." said Videl as she hugged him to her and stroked a hand through his hair. "Are you happy now? You've..." Videl stopped talking as the sky suddenly turned pitch black. Not the black of night mind you, but a starless black that's only caused by one specific event.
Sakura looked up at the sky in confusion, "Why would someone summon Shennron?"
Beware demi-Saiya-jin children baring gifts.
