Summary: France…
Stupid Cupid
Chapter fifteen: Bonjour, and welcome to France
He looked out the dark window and into the city of lights. The whole city was illuminated with bright colors and the Effiel Tower shone out into the azure horizon. He smiled and looked next to him. Videl was asleep leaning into his shoulders and the same with his other two friends. Ah, what a life to live…
"We will now land in Paris, France, please buckle up you safety belt," said the flight attendant. Gohan smiled and nudged Videl a little. After a while her eyes fluttered open and she yawned a bit. "What's a matter?" she mumbled.
"We're landing soon, buckle up," he whispered. She nodded and complied, and leaned on to Gohan's shoulder still. He smiled and then turned to his two blond headed friends. Gohan grabbed his pillow and threw it at the drooling Sharpner. "Yo Sharpie, wake up!"
Sharpner snorted and looked both ways with a trail of drool still on his face. "What? Where? Who did that?"
"We're landing so put on your belt…and wipe off the dribble on your face man, you look like a dog," Gohan chuckled. Sharpner yawned and woke up Erasa. All their classmates finally woke up and waited for the landing…
There were a few bumps and jerks, but finally all made it down safely and efficiently. The intercom sounded off and notified that everyone can step out of the plane and get their luggage. Gohan, being the only one awake, carried Videl's for her…and was practically carrying her herself. Sharpner dragged his bags and his eyes drooped.
"Hey Gohan, wanna take my bags," he asked sleepily. Gohan thought for a moment and grinned. "Let me see…yea-no."
"Cruel Son, very cruel."
"Such a great word."
"Shut up." The blond mumbled. The teacher had been running around gathering students and arranged them onto the bus. "Right when we get to the hotel, I expect you guys to go to bed!"
Everyone murmured and loaded on to the bus trying to stay awake. The teacher was writing something on her agenda and announced something to the class as they went in search of the hotel. "Everyone will be assigned two to a room, and no, it is boy with boy, and girl with girl." A lot of groans were heard but she continued. "For the girls let me see…how about Videl Satan and…Angela Baker…"
Videl snapped her eyes open and stood up. "NO!" Gohan laughed nervously and pulled her down. "Sensei, Videl and Angela aren't the best of friends…er…actually…she is despised by us."
"Very well then, Videl Satan and Erasa Midori," she corrected. Videl paused and went back to sleep. The teacher sighed and went down the list again. Gohan of course ended up with Sharpner, which wasn't all that bad except Sharpie's occasional snoring but hey, no one's perfect.
Gohan lied in his bed and staring at the ceiling for a while before his own eyes became heavy…and he drifted off into a heavenly abyss…
~*~
The sun rose over the city, and once again it was another glorious day…well not really… The real story is the teacher barged in every room with a blow horn and honked it loud while screaming, "Rise and shine!"
When the sensei came in Gohan and Sharpner's room, both freaked. Gohan rolled off his bed, with his head hitting the ground first, and Sharpner…let's just say he jumped on his bed while yelling. Both grumbled and shooed the teacher away.
Gohan yawned and rubbed his eyes, "Man, what a witch."
"Don't you mean bitch?" Sharpner mumbled while getting out of bed. "Who does she think she is waking us up at…SIX O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING?!?!"
The Saiyan covered his ears in pain, "Damn Sharpie, I didn't know you could scream louder then my mother!"
"Should I take that as a compliment of insult?" the blond asked. He shrugged his shoulders and gathered his things, "let me take my shower first!"
"But you always take a couple of hours just to do your hair. Kami knows how much it'll take for you to shower…" but then Gohan noticed he was talking to himself. Sharpner had run into the bathroom in the middle of his speech, and the demi-brat…er…Saiyan stood there with a frown. As he was about to gather his own belongings, a knock came at his door. Gohan mumbled some incoherent things and opened to door, and who would have guessed…Videl stood there with a frown of her own.
"Sharpie got the shower?" she asked.
"Erasa got yours?" he asked slightly amused. She nodded and both sighed. The couple walked over to Gohan's unmade bed and laid back. "So what are we going to do today?"
"Dunno, I was thinking…maybe…"
"Shopping?" Gohan interrupted. Videl rolled her eyes, "Yeah right! That's Erasa's evil deed. I wanna go down to the sights and then maybe down by the river bed…"
"Sounds fun."
"Very."
"Lets rent a gondola!"
"Let's not."
"Why?"
"I hate boat rides," Gohan mumbled, "They're worse then Umpa Lumpas and Tellitubies!"
Videl looked at her boyfriend strangely. He stared back and sighed, "Don't ask."
"I don't think I want to know," she laughed. Suddenly, the door busted open and in walked Sharpner with a towel wrapped around his waist. "See I didn't take an hour!" Sharpner then noticed Videl and yelled while running back to the bathroom. Videl's eyes widened in horror and covered her eyes. "My precious eyes have been infected! AHHHH bad images!"
Gohan laughed and pushed Videl out the door. "I'm sure your not that innocent," he whispered and locked the door. The Saiyan turned back to face his blond friend and laughed. He noticed he ran back into the bathroom with fright. "It's alright Sharpner, I got he girl out."
Out walked a red faced Sharpner with his towel still. "Don't say a word."
Gohan snickered, "I wonder how you'll really act when you get married. Wonder if you'll even mate!"
"Wow little Saiyan, thinking about sex now aren't we?" Sharpner said smugly. "Oh wait no…its 'mate' right?"
"Shut up moron, I wont faint when I actually do mate!" Gohan retorted.
"Oh don't start with me Son!"
"Watch out Orimoto, remember last time in our sparing match?" Gohan scoffed. Both glared at each other for a few minutes the bursted out laughing. "That was fun acting like enemy's again," Sharpner said.
The half bred grinned, "Oh the good ol' days…welp, can't stand talking to you all day, Videl and I have plans, need to take my shower." Gohan went over to his bag and was about to open it when he remembered his father said something…
"I slipped something into your black suitcase…have fun…"
Gohan opened his black suitcase and shrugged his shoulders. As he got out his pants, out fell a couple of small packages. The half bred was confused and picked them up. He immediately shoved them in his suitcase with eyes wide. 'What the hell?' he looked back at them and couldn't believe it…
"I can't believe he gave me condoms!" he exclaimed. Sharpner turned around and was confused, "What did ya say man?"
"Uh nothing…" Gohan said uneasily. "Nothing at all…"
~*~
Everyone was downstairs and awaited to go do his or her own things in the city of Paris, France. They talked excitedly and walked around the hotel entrance. "Quite down you infernal brats!" The sensei yelled. Silence roamed around the room and the sensei sighed. "Today you may go only around the city limits and shall be back at nine o'clock P.M. sharp! If not, you shall be using your ticket back home!" she yelled. "Dismissed!"
Gohan and Videl ran out of the building with Sharpner and Erasa together. "So what are we going to do today?" Sharpner asked.
Gohan and Videl looked at each other, "We'll Gohan and I already arranged our day…I don't know about you two."
Erasa smirked, "Shopping!"
"Send me to hell!" Sharpner yelled. Gohan smiled smugly, "Tough luck buddy. Ja ne."
Videl and Gohan walked down the streets hand in hand while looking at all around them. First they would go to the most important monuments and take some pictures, then stroll into the parks of Paris, eat a nice lunch in the sun, then later, go to the lake for a nice ride.
"Hey Gohan, check out that!" Videl said and pointed something out. When he snapped his head in that direction, he noticed it was one of those water sprouts where kids played in. There were four squares and each time, water would pop out of one of the squares…how fun. "I remember going through those as a kid," Videl sighed.
"Why not relive your childhood?" Gohan asked while pulling Videl towards the water sprout. Videl shook her head and tried to pull away, "Oh no! No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to get soaked! Son Gohan-"
"Too late," Gohan laughed. Both were standing in the middle of the squares and there was silence for a moment. Videl sighed in relief, "Maybe they are turned off."
Not quite…as soon as those words left her mouth, water squirted up from one of those squares. Gohan laughed as he saw Videl cling on to him. "Don't worry Vidy, nothing to worry about, but I suggest you run to the next square," he said while running. Videl immediately followed, and soon after their departure from the square, water shot out of the little holes.
For a few more minutes, the couple dodged the square and attracted a small crowed. Finally when the two teenagers thought the little water show was over, they stopped in the middle once again. "That was fun," Videl smiled, "Though I remember something else happening…" All of a sudden, all the squares shot out water all over. Gohan and Videl were stuck in the predicament, but when it was finally over, both were soaking wet.
Gohan laughed, "That was fun."
"I'm soaked!"
"Can't say you didn't enjoy it."
"But I'm soaked!"
"You'll dry off."
"But I'm soak-" Videl didn't get to finish her sentence because Gohan pressed his lips against hers. She smiled and forgot about her being soaked, but little did she know, Gohan made an aura around them so they would dry off easily. "Your not soaked any more," Gohan whispered.
"Thanks, let's go to the park," she said while taking Gohan's hand and walking away form the applauding small crowd. The Saiyan grinned and put his hand around her waist. Videl smiled and kept walking towards one of the parks…though they were a little lost… Gohan then got the bright idea of asking a local person.
"Hello, can you please help us," he asked. The girl did not reply, and Gohan then realized she didn't know English. "Bonjour, je m'appelle(1) Gohan," he said.
The girl smiled, "Bonjour, je m'appelle Chantal."
"Enchante Chantal. Tu peux aider moi (2)?" Gohan asked politely.
Chantal smiled and nodded, "Oui."
"Merci…" Gohan said and asked her about the park. She gladly showed both Videl and Gohan where to go and Gohan smiled, "Merci beaucoup."
"Non problem, tchao," Chantal beamed. Gohan shook hands with her, "Au revoir." Chantal came up a kissed both of Gohan's cheeks and walked away. Videl's eyes widened and she huffed with anger, "WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?"
"Jeez Vidy, calm down," Gohan said nervously, "In France when you say hello or good-bye to someone you kiss both of their cheeks."
"Oh really? Then let me find some French boy and kiss him!" Videl said angrily. Gohan frowned, "You would really do that would you?" Videl smirked, "Oh I would."
"You wouldn't dare!"
Videl smiled smugly and walked up to a guy with brownish blond hair and hazel eyes. "Bonjour."
The French guy smiled, "Bonjour, je m'appelle Savior."
"Je m'appelle Videl, enchante Savior." Just then Gohan walked up behind Videl and frowned even more and he glared at the guy. Savior looked up and Gohan and smiled. "La fille mignon (3)."
Gohan growled, "La fille is ma fille l'ami."
"Uh…oui…au revoir!" Savior said nervously and ran away. Gohan smirked and looked down upon Videl. She glared at him and snarled. "What did you say?"
"Uh…he started it!"
"What did you guys say!?" Videl yelled.
"Calm down shorty. He said, 'the girl is cute.' And I said, 'the girl is my girlfriend!'" Gohan replied. Videl stared up at Gohan and squinted her eyes, and then a smile came across her face. "He thinks I'm cute!"
Gohan fell on the ground in shock. "I can't believe it!"
"What? I'm just happy to see that guys still flirt with me," Videl smiled. "And then I turn them down."
"You better…Wait…guys flirt with you!? Who are they, I'm going to kill them!" Gohan yelled. Videl laughed and put her arms around Gohan, "Aw don't be jealous, I still love you."
"Alright…let's go get some food alright?" he said. "I'm hungry." Videl threw her hands in the air and sighed, "I can't believe you still think about your stomach more than anything else!"
"I can't help it!"
"Come on cow, let's go feed you."
"I'm not fat!"
"I didn't say you were."
"You said I'm a cow!"
"There can be skinny cows." Videl snickered. "Fine, want me to call you a turkey?"
Gohan pouted, "Turkeys are weak!"
"How about…Gohan?" she asked.
"That suites me better."
"Good, now lets get to a café," she said while grabbing a hold of Gohan.
"Yes ma'am!"
So the young couple walked down the streets of Paris and into the real part of the city. Videl spotted a nice little café and pointed it out. Both were seated on an outside table and ordered. "Oh I love these type of café's Gohan!" Videl exclaimed, "I remember that before my parents…divorced…that my mother took me to Paris and we went to a café just like this one."
"Aw, childhood memories…wish I had some," Gohan sighed. "I have nothing but, a yelling mother, raising Goten, and beating up Vegeta in a spar everyday."
"What a life to live," she said. Gohan sighed even more, "Tell me about it."
Soon the waiter came, and of course Gohan ordered for them. Both enjoyed a nice large meal and said their farewells to the waiter and thanked him. They walked hand in hand and noticed the sun would be setting soon.
"How about we take that boat trip like you promised," Videl said.
"I didn't promise anything!" Gohan whined.
"Well I promised for you, now come on."
"No!"
"And why not?"
"Because I planned on just sitting at the riverbank while watching the sun set…"
Videl smiled warmly, "Fine, we'll do it your way for now."
"Good."
The teenager couple then walked out of the streets and into horse carriage. They rode a lovely and romantic ride and to the rivers bank and sat on the edge of the waters peek. Both sat with arms around each other and watched the sun slowly set over the horizon. Videl sat upon Gohan's lap while leaning her head on his chest, and him having his arms around her waist.
"This was the perfect day…" Videl smiled.
"And there are more to come," he said while kissing her cheek. "Just think of it, we have four more days."
"We should do this everyday," she sighed peacefully. "It's so serene."
"We have about three hours after the sunsets until we have to go back to the hotel…what should we do?"
"Relax until tomorrow so we can take a nice tour," she murmured.
Gohan groaned, "And I still have to get Goten his French chocolate."
"And shopping for souvenirs for Sakura." Videl mumbled.
"And I thought this was suppose to be a no thinking about the Z gang vacation," he said.
"I guess they'll always remain in our minds forever."
"Guess so…"
~*~
Soon after their ordeal at the riverbank, Gohan and Videl made their way back to the hotel to relax. As soon as they went to their separate rooms, Gohan found Sharpner groaning and laying down on his own bed.
"So I guess shopping didn't go so well?" Gohan asked.
Sharpner groaned and mumbled. "No way in hell I'm going to do that again…so many bags…the horror!"
"Really? Mine wasn't that bad…"
"Good for you…I need sleep…"
"Me too, Videl and I have plans tomorrow too," Gohan said.
The blond jumped up and ran over to Gohan; clutching his shirt, "Take me with you!"
"Sure…we can take both of you with us and have a nice…calm…day."
"Thank you! Good night!" Sharpner said and went back to his own bed.
Gohan went and changed for bed. He already heard the snores of his blond friend and snickered. "How funny." He then walked to his bed and was about to fall asleep when he felt a familiar ki. All of a sudden he looked up and by his bedside was his father?!
"Hiya Gohan!"
"Dad! What are you doing here?" Gohan hissed in a whisper.
Goku backed off and laughed nervously, "Relax Gohan, your mother just wanted me to check if you got her a grandchild."
"No! And never, I mean never put condoms in my suitcase again!"
"Okie dokie Gohan, bye!"
Gohan groaned and leaned back in his bed, "I can't believe my vacation has already been ruined."
