Stupid Cupid
Chapter Nineteen: Exceptional Situations
Chichi's eyes widened in excitement and grabbed the box immediately.
It had to be something valuable right?
Something perhaps for her future daughter in law…
From her oh so wonderful son?
Well there's only one way to find out and that was to look into the box. With sudden glee, Chichi snapped open the box…

"Now when I call your name, please stand up and walk down the row, with your line, in alphabetical order," the principle announced while starting the practice session.
Videl grumbled in her chair and muttered something about the schools system of un-organization and what not. Though Sharpner and Erasa weren't far ahead of her in rows, everyone was still groaning about the arrangements. The young woman's thoughts were soon interrupted as she felt a poke at her shoulder. She turned around angrily at her interrupter, but the anger subsided and became a harmless affection.
It seemed that Gohan was placed and row behind Videl, you know, Satan-Son, so close!
"Hey Vidy-Chan!" Gohan said with a bright, melting smile, "glad to see me?"
Videl rolled her eyes but smiled also, "Aren't we a little full of ourselves now?"
"Just a tad," he winked while laughing. "But that comment also comes from the girl who hated it when I told you I disliked Hercule when you know yourself you don't like him either."
"Oh shut up!" Videl blushed while turning around from her seat and crossed her arms in a childish manner.
Gohan scooted up and whispered lightly in her ear, "Do I still get to take you to prom?"
"Well I don't know Gohan…" Videl smirked while trailing off into excuses. "You did make fun of my ego, and put my father in the same sentence…"
"Its alright Vidy," Gohan grinned while leaning back in his chair, "I'm sure some other girl would LOVE to go with me, hmmm, maybe that French girl Chantal…"
"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" Videl yelled quite loudly, catching the back three rows. She glared at everyone and didn't talk anymore.
"Don't worry shorty, I still love you," he smiled. 'Definitely on that one.'
Videl also smiled as she felt a warm feeling in her heart and waited for the principle to call their row.

To Chichi's utter dismay, nothing was revealed in the tiny velvet box. She frowned and threw it over her back and heard a loud thump.
"Hey, who threw that?!" Krillin yelled while grabbing his head. "That actually hurt!"
Chichi turned around and pouted. "It was me and nothing was in that stupid box."
"And you were expecting…what?" Bulma asked while picking it up and observing it. "Whatever was in here, it must be pretty hefty and expensive because I go to this jeweler every chance I get."
"What do you mean?!" Chichi asked quickly while running up to Bulma. "You mean you can take me to the person who makes these?!"
"Of course Chi," Bulma laughed while throwing the box up in the air. "Its Yume's Jewelers on Kokorro Street."
Chichi's eyes brightened and she jumped with joy, "This is going to be great! Lets go right now!"
"But Chichi, the party…"
"Oh nonsense!" Chichi yelled, "The boys can take care of that! Come on 18, your coming with us!"
"Well there is no way in hell I'm leaving Marron so I'm taking her too," 18 said while taking the child. "Kami knows what those terrible Saiyan's might do to forget her."
"Well I'm here hun!" Krillin wailed to his wife. "I'm not a Saiyan."
"Oh excuse me," 18 said while rolling her eyes, "I don't want Saiyan's or my reckless husband to watch my daughter."
"Oh yeah, thanks a lot," he said sarcastically while planning some more.
"Enough of your ranting, we have to see what Gohan is up to!" Chichi hollered while practically dragging her two friends out of the house.

"Videl Amber Satan," the principle announced. Videl walked up to the principle, shook his hand, and walked away. She sighed and rolled her eyes once again as the practice took long enough.
Once she sat down she saw Gohan in the row to get his own "diploma" in the practice ceremony and smiled. Life was ending and time was really short. Tomorrow would be the day where they'd graduate and finally be released from the chains of high school. Again the principle announced the last name and said that they were the graduating class of the year and everyone stood up and cheered.
"That's a rap kids," Sakuya (AN: the principle) said while waving her hands. "You may go if you want, but make sure to get a good sleep and be here by 6:00 P.M."
The field abrupt in talking and laughing as they stood up and decided to leave. Gohan met up with Videl, Erasa, and Sharpner and they all headed out to town. "So where do you guys want to eat?"
"Anywhere," Sharpner cheered, "After tomorrow and the summer, its long gone from home."
"Yeah," Erasa said softly while turning away. "Nothing good lasts forever."
Videl looked concerned for her friend and withheld guilt in herself. Gohan turned to Videl and felt the pain she was feeling and nodded. "Sharpner, lets go to the soda shop."
"Aren't we going to-"
Gohan rolled his eyes and Sharpner's stupidity and dragged him away. "Don't even ask."
Videl walked up to Erasa and pushed her gently. "What's wrong 'rasa?"
"Nothing at all," Erasa said with a fake smile.
"Oh come on," Videl scoffed. "I taught you that fake smile! Now tell me!"
Erasa kicked at the ground lightly and turned away. "Don't worry about it."
"Erasa Midori," Videl ordered in a strict tone. "You tell me what's wrong now missy!"
Her blond friend sighed and looked at her deep within her eyes. "Videl, its just that I'm going to miss you."
Videl stood shocked and blankly stuttered. "W-what?"
"Well you know," Erasa mumbled. "We've been best friends since diapers, I mean, we've never been separated for so long…"
"Oh Erasa," Videl said while hugging her friend. "Well always be best friends, I mean, Kyoto isn't that far, and I'll visit every two weeks."
"Really?" Erasa sniffed while wiping the newborn tears. "Promise?"
"Promise, and if I cant," she said while laughing, "I'll call you for as long as you want."
"Deal," Erasa smiled brightly. "Now lets go eat before Gohan and Sharpner do something stupid!"

Kat: Yes, yes, its been a while, but don't worry, I'll continue with just a short skit of Chichi and the jeweler.

Chichi, Bulma, 18, and Marron started walking down the street on the corner of Takai and finally found Yume's Jewelry. Bulma grinned and marched right in. A girl with long black hair and emerald eyes greeted them kindly.
"Welcome to my store, I'm Yume," She said politely. "Oh hello Mrs. Briefs!"
"Hi Yume, how are you?"
"Just fine," Yume said softly. "What can I do today? Your aquamarine set came in today."
Bulma's eyes brightened like a little child. "Oh! I'll take those right-"
"No time for that Bulma!" Chichi growled while snatching the box out of her purse. "Miss Yume, can you tell me if you had a visit from a tall young boy with wild black hair?"
Yume thought for a moment and tilted her head. "I'm not sure I can remember…"
"Well I found this box," Chichi said while handing it to Yume.
She observed the box and looked at the number on the bottom. "Well I can tell you one thing, this was from my engagement ring section…"
