A/N: Hehe. I knew I was going to have people making comments about that song. Heh... I was listening to the radio while I was writing, and Holidae Inn came on, I couldn't stop myself. Picture Gohan rapping, 'nuff said.

"Hey Videl!!!" Goten sprang out from behind an apple tree, grasping something in the cup of his hand, closely followed by Trunks, who seemed to walk like a primitive old man. Videl shifted her gaze from Gohan, who was once again curbing her attention from the lessons, he told her that he needed to warm-up before they started. Goten was sprinting so fast toward Videl that she had to trot back a few paces to avoid being pummeled. He lifted his top hand to reveal.......
-Two bees....
-On top of eachother....
-Don't you just LOVE mating season?...
Videl was quite astounded, and she staggered. She had expected a worm, a snake, a.... baby dragon.... anything! You know what question Goten was going to ask right? "What are they doing?" Ugh... She had been asked that type of thing prior to now, and it wasn't pretty. She had once worked at a library outside of her school, one day an innocent, little, five year old boy walked over to her and held up a picture from a manga he had found in the adult section...
That was her last day at the library.
"Gohan!" Videl called over sharply, her voice made Goten hold off from speaking. Gohan refrained from orbiting the house, and broke off to Videl's side. Videl pointed at the bees and walked away, leaving Gohan to explain.
Gohan made up some stupid excuse, which was followed by Goten lunging the bees to the ground and yelping, "EW!!!" Trunks sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Kids..."
Gohan began to conduct his warm-up again. "You know Videl," Gohan started. He ran in place once he reached her. "You're in a lot of trouble." He smiled, and she raised an quizzical eyebrow at him.
"No, I just dodged trouble, maybe your misunderstanding the word trouble ...?" Videl teased. I love my little dictionary that has a mind of it's own.
Trouble:1.disturb in the mind; annoy; worry. 2. put to inconvenience.
"If I'm not mistaken, I just created a inconvenient situation for you," Videl continued to prove herself.
"Yeah, but do you really think that was the first time that he asked something like that?... I'm the master of excuses! MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Gohan laughed triumphantly. He grinned widely, watching her short hair dance in the wind. She didn't look back with short hair, it had a more Videl feel to it; it seemed more like her. He was too busy admiring her to notice the hand hiding behind her back.
"I'm about to create some more trouble too!" she spat out hastily, while pulling out the hose that was nestled in her right hand from behind her back. She squeezed on the handle, releasing a jet of water aimed directly at Gohan. His eyes widened as he was hit in the face. "HAH!!!"
"AHHH!!!! No!!!! Stop it!!!" He covered his face with his arm, and leaped straight into the air, his wet hair lay flat, then was pushed back by the breeze from his dive toward her. He snatched the gun of the hose from her. She gasped at his speed. What did she expect? She noticed the glare of his eyes from when he was being playful, and that sly smiled he put on whenever he was winning. For a second, only a second, they're bodies were close, and their faces (lips to be exact) were closer.
Then he sprayed her as payback... that kind of broke the moment.
Videl flushed a fire red and jolted at him in her long, white, drenched shirt, and black, skin tight, short shorts.
"Oh my god Videl, I can see your bra through your shirt, this must be my lucky day!" A well known, cocky voice called from a few yards back. Videl stopped dead. She refused to let herself even glance in the general direction of the sound calling her.
"Oh shut up Sharpner!! She's wearing a undershirt, she always does on weekends, because she trains and it's more comfortable!! Right Videl?" Erasa rang in, hitting Sharpner's shoulder.
"Videl, are those tears in your eyes?" Trunks quired, while Goten made sure she was still breathing, and found that she was stiff. Videl shut her eyes, wishing that she was just losing her mind and hearing, The Voices.
"Erasa, come her for a moment please," Videl rang for her in an over-polite manner. She waved her hand, motioning for Erasa with her back still turned away from the duo. Erasa did as she was told.
Gohan remained silent. How did they find out where I live? Is nothing sacred?!?!?!
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Videl whispered at Erasa through clenched teeth. Erasa smiled innocently back at her, flashing her shining white teeth. Videl flinched from the glare that was caught in them under the sun. "Grrr.. Why?!! Why?!! Why?!!!" Videl cried out helplessly.
"Sharpner doesn't know how to dance either! What a kiwe-ki-dink, huh?!" she explained, ignoring Videl's silent threats.
"Yeah, a real coincidence." Videl sighed. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to---"
"Have an extra student, and an extra teacher!" Erasa cut her off, and finished her sentence, cheerfully. Erasa ran over and grabbed Gohan's arm hastily. "I got my partner!!" Invisible smoke arose from Videl's ears. Gohan kept his silence, knowing that whatever he said to object would make his intentions of this weekend too obvious.
"Alright!! Videl I guess that means that it's me and you!" Sharpner grabbed her hand, she yanked it out of his palm, and stomped away. She opened her capsule of the CD player again, and plopped herself on the grass next to it Indian style. She held her head in her hands, pouting.
Erasa dragged Gohan over to the spot in front of the CD player. "Great! Now we can start!!"
"Great..." Gohan and Videl said sarcastically in unison, then looked away from each other, a tint of color on their faces.
"Where to begin?... Hmm, how 'bout we begin with... some slow dancing, up close and personal." She giggled at everyone's reaction.
"What happened to the basics?!!" Gohan whined.
"Basics don't exist anymore!" She replied, tugging at his hand. "Come on, I'll teach you." She grinned, then she sneaked a look at Videl, just long enough to observe her reaction. She saw that steem... Erasa popped in her CD and pressed play.
The real me is a southern girl with her Levis on and an open heart
Wish I could say the save the world, like I was super girl
The real me is to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately I've been jaded life got so complicated
I'm still thinking about it almost forgot what it was like
Do you know what it feels like?
"May I have this dance?" Sharpner bowed in front of Videl, his hand laid out to support hers. She glared at her with an evil sparkle in her eyes.
"Do I have a choice?" She complained, and reluctantly executed his wish. She cringed as she forced her self to embrace his neck with her arms. "Okay, put your arms around my waist," she ordered with a sigh. He complied with glee, wrapping his arms around her, feeling the cold water from her shirt on his palm.
"This is the first time you actually asked me to touch you." He smirked at her mischiviously, she was giving him the Evil stare again. "Lighten up!" He put his mouth by her ear. "Don't think I don't know what's really going on, because I do," he spoke softly, his voice seeming to ease much of the discomfort Videl was experiencing. She wasn't sure what he meant, and her facial expression matched her thoughts.
"Wha-" she started, but stopped when she saw over Sharpner's shoulder, Gohan stepping all over Erasa's toes, she couldn't help but smile.
Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby as I do now
Now that I'm with you
With you
Now that I'm with you
"Gohan! Don't move until I tell you to!! Ow!!" Erasa instructed, then placed Gohan's hands on her hips.
"Oh, sorry!" Gohan apologized, then caught a look at Videl, who was only inches away from Sharpner, and worst of all he saw that she was bearing a smile. Sharpner's hands were clinging around her. He could feel himself trying to avoid an emotion he swore never to experience again. He was jealous, he could feel his chance slip away, like a leaf tumbling down from a tree.
"Gohan," Erasa said gently, staring up at his eyes stationed on the other dancing couple. Gohan snapped back to his focus, and met his eye's with Erasa's. "I knew it," she thought out loud. She smiled to herself, and Gohan stared with confusion.
"You kne--" He almost got a few words out, but his voice was halted in the air by Erasa's.
"Okay! I think that's enough of that!" Erasa leaped out of Gohan's clutching brace, and pressed stop on the radio. She smirked, Sharpner had done his job, now she was up to the plate. "Time for something a little more... shall I dare say upbeat?"
"But we only slow danced for like 30 seconds!! How is Gohan---and I, going to learn anything?" Sharpner argued, he was enjoying being close to Videl, even if it was only part of the play...
"I don't care what you think Sharpner!!!!!!!!!!! I am the teacher, and you are the pupil!" Erasa screamed at him, and giving him the shut up look. He sighed and grumbled in defeat. "Now then! As I was saying, let's do something a little different." She smiled to herself when she heard Gohan's loud gulp. "But this time, allow me and Gohan show you how it's done." Sharpner looked a bit disappointed, and Videl was enraged, she had to use all of her strength to conceal her true emotions. Both Videl and Sharpner sat down on the grass.
"Uhh..." Gohan stood speechless. Erasa clasped her hand over his once again, and switched the track on the radio to 9, then she played it.
Stand up! Stand up!
Stand up! Stand up!
"Okay, when I move forward Gohan, you move back," she explained by putting her hand on his chest, pushing down and moving her upper body closer to his, forcing him to tilt back. "Just like that." She stood back up tall. "Now you move closer," she grasped his shoulders, and pulled them toward her. "And I lean back." He nodded in understanding, it seemed pretty easy. "But you can't be stiff, you have to loosen up, and get into the music, feel the beat."
When I move you move (just like that?)
When I move you move (just like that?)
When I move you move (just like that?)
Hell yeah! Hey DJ bring that back!
(When I move you move) just like that?
(When I move you move) just like that?
(When I move you move) just like that?
(Hell yeah, Hey DJ bring that back!)
This was eating away at Videl from the inside out, like a parasite. Gohan was actually doing it, he was even enjoying himself. With each time they would move, their bodies got closer, and the void that was containing Videl's sanity was fading fast. Erasa had always had a crush on Gohan, from the first day he stepped into class. Videl had to put an end to this madness, before she lost Gohan to her best friend. She turned her head from side to side, scouring the grounds for anything unusual. She gasped, and jumped up from her rested position on the lawn. "Gohan!!! I just realized something!"
Gohan stopped dead in his tracks when he heard his name being called out by Videl, he was leaning back and after pausing he found that balance was something he lacked. He stumbled backward, swinging his arms in directions unheard of, and then plopped onto the grass with a thump.
"Nice one, Slick... " Videl teased, towering over him, her shadow being cast on his face. "Back to the point! Satan's spawn child, and your little brother have disappeared, I thought you would like to be informed."
"What?!" Gohan yelled, then flew up from the ground faster than you can say "SuperCALISPAZERIFIC..." Much faster. "I have to go find them, kami knows what they've gotten themselves into by now," Gohan said, completely ignoring Erasa and Sharpner's unknowing stares. He turned around in circles, searching for their presence. He was unsuccessful and put his hands over his face in frustration.
"I'll go with you," Videl spoke up, volunteering. She needed to get away from her so called "Friends" right now, she had arranged this so she would have an excuse to be with Gohan. She wanted to be alone with him. She needed to grow closer to him, but she couldn't do that with other people around them because Gohan's true personality doesn't shine through in crowds. Then an even better idea was made apparent in Videl's mind. "We'll split up, me and Gohan will look by the stream, and you guys can look in the woods."
"Great idea!" Gohan found that it was harder to hide his enthusiasm than he thought, "I-I mean, that's a good idea." There, that sounded better. Erasa and Sharpner didn't have any time to object, before Gohan and Videl ran to their desired grounds.
I'm sorry if I didn't correct some of the spelling errors, chances are if I have spelling errors it's because I overlooked it while I was re-reading. Okay! That's not how I wanted to end the chapter, but it works... anyway, next chapter Vegeta makes a visit to the Son residence, and Chichi is finally introduced to Gohan's "other" friends! Plus, the gang plays an extremely fun game! See ya! REVIEW PLEASE
