A/N: omg, haha yes I still live! Hey ppls, how have you been for the
past.....I don't 7 or 8 months? For most of the last time of school I was
freakin' beyond busy and when I had free time it wasn't enough to update.
Plus I'm not really interested in dbz anymore. But one day I just decided
to look up this old fic of mine and I fell in love with it all over again.
So here I am, back for more. It's been awhile since I've written anything
so bear with me if this chapter isn't exactly up to par. Enjoy. Oh, btw
all you people who decided to give me history lessons in dbz: I don't
care, how nerdy could you be to think to tell me stuff that doesn't matter
in MY fic?

Chapter 7
Clubbing
Early on Videl told him it would take about 20 minutes to get to the déjà vu. Videl seemed to be absolutely loving the motorcycle ride and Gohan had a nice feeling with her arms wrapped tightly around his chest for support.
It made him feel good to know that she was comfortable enough to be this close to him.
Videl's house was actually in the semi-country so it was about five minutes before they were actually in town. He always took a different route to get to school so he had never seen this part of Satan City.
It was comprised of mostly tall, glass buildings that reflected all of the streetlights into a beauty that could only be seen by someone inexperienced in that area. Because of the sound of the motorcycle and the wind rushing by they were unable to talk so Videl showed him the way by squeezing his chest and pointing. The trip felt good with the wind whipping at his jacket and the twenty minutes passed pretty quickly as he saw a big flashing neon sign that said "déjà vu" approaching.
He saw a long thick line of people standing on the outside hoping to get in and he wasn't sure where he was supposed to park but Videl told him to go down an alleyway on the other side of the building and he could park back there. He did as she said and he saw that the back area seemed to be reserved for VIPs or something similar.
Thinking that he was going to just capsize the bike anyway, he didn't bother to park and just stopped near the back door that was being guarded by a big black man. They both got off and Gohan took his helmet off and looked up again to take Videl's helmet from her only too see her walking arrogantly toward the fearsome looking guard still wearing her helmet. Gohan didn't know what was going on.
As she reached the big guard he stopped her by putting his hand on her shoulder. Gohan tensed, he was going to be ready to protect Videl if the situation got out of control.
"I don't know what you're thinking young lady but this entrance and this parking area are reserved for miss Videl, her band, and anyone she invites." He said in a deep voice that fit the rest of him.
Gohan was still staring in shock as Videl casually reached up and pulled the helmet off, shaking her head to get her purple-streaked dark hair out of her face. She turned and tossed the helmet back to Gohan and turned back to the guard with a smile on her face while the guard seemed to be struggling not to smile as well.
"I told you I was gonna get you one day didn't I?" she said.
"That you did. Funny." Then they both smiled at each other and Gohan with relief that it had apparently been a joke.
"Welcome to the Déjà vu." He said as he opened the door.
Videl started to walk in whenever the guard said "What about him?"
Videl turned around to see Gohan still standing there dumbly "Oh he's cool, let him in."
And with that she turned around and walked in while Gohan hurriedly capsized the bike. Then he walked through the door that the guard held open and said "hi" timidly. Once he was inside the déjà vu he was immediately immersed in the lights and sounds of the club. He looked around to see people sitting at a few tables drinking and talking but the dance floor took up most of the building. There was also a bar that lined part of one wall. The last item he noticed was the stage. Well, it wasn't really a stage, more like a raised platform. Currently it was about 8:30 and there was no band up yet.
He looked around but didn't see Videl anywhere. Just then he felt someone hop onto his back laughing hysterically. He was very surprised but he realized it was Videl. She was laughing like a crazy woman with her head on his shoulder and her arms and legs wrapped around him.
"Oh my God! Did you see the look on his face? Damn, he almost laughed....." then she started laughing again. She finally got off his back and stood beside him but she kept her hand on his shoulder.
"I'll have to think of something better. If I make him laugh Ereasa will owe me 50 bucks!"
"Sounds like a good idea. He looks a little stone-faced to me." Gohan said.
"Hey, let's find Ereasa. I wanted to show her something. Do you see her anywhere?"
"No. I just finished taking the whole place in."
"Okay well she can't be far. She's usually here before me."
Just then Ereasa popped out of nowhere to give Videl a sideways hug.
"HEY!!!" Ereasa shouted.
"Oh, hey, I knew you would get here before me. We were just looking for you."
"Well of course! I gotta arrive early to get the party started for you!"
Gohan and Videl weren't really sure if she was just being herself or if she was already a little drunk as they both suppressed laughs.
"Oh hey, remember how you wanted to see Gohan's car? Well let's go do that now so we can party."
"YAY!!" Ereasa shouted as they three of them walked back out the back door.
Once back on the parking lot Gohan took out his capsule box and threw out the red mustang. As it materialized out off the smoke both Gohan and Videl looked around for Ereasa only to find her hanging all over the guard.
"Ok, yeah, she's a little drunk." Videl said.
Ereasa looked over her shoulder to see the mustang sitting on the gravel and she let out a squeal as she ran to it and halfway laid on it and caressed it with her hands.
"WOOOWWW.....Gohan! Let's take it for a spin! WEEEEE!!!" she started spinning a in a haphazard circle to eventually fall into Gohan's arms.
"COME ON!!! Whadaya say....." she had passed out.
Gohan really didn't know what to do so he just held her up as Videl called the guard over.
"Take her to one of the private rooms and leave her there. And be sure to lock the door." Videl said.
The guard took Ereasa from Gohan and carried her back into the building. They just stood outside waiting in awkward silence. Gohan turned to Videl with his arms crossed and tried to keep his anger in check.
"I thought you said this was a non-alcoholic kind of bar."
Videl gave a short chuckle "I lied. Besides, those kinds of bars don't exist."
Gohan tried to keep from letting his anger show in his voice. "Then why did you lie to me?"
Videl turned to him and let out a sigh "Oh Gohan please don't be angry. I just really wanted you to come see me sing and when I invited you, you started acting all suspicious about it being a bar so I just thought I would tell you a little white lie to get you to come. Please don't be mad."
"Do you realize I had to lie to my mom to come here?"
"I'm sorry. I don't really know what else to say. I just wanted you to come here no matter what." Gohan uncrossed his arms and he felt his anger slip away. Her intentions had been good.
"Where you planning on telling me when we got here?"
"Of course, if I didn't you would've found out eventually anyway."
Gohan smiled a small smile as he waved his finger in her face "Fine. Forgiven, but don't you ever deceive me again."
"Deal." She said as she smiled too.
"What are we waiting for out here?"
"I'm waiting for the guard to come back."
"Why?"
"Um...my best friend just passed out in the parking lot and I had a man I barely know take her back to a private room and lock the door. While I do trust him and I don't think he would rape anyone, I still think it's a good idea to wait and make sure he comes back."
"Good idea."
Just a few seconds later the guard returned so they went back into the club. There was a good song playing so Videl grabbed Gohan's hand and pulled him onto the dance floor.
"Let's dance!"
But just as they got onto the floor the song ended and a rap song took its place. Gohan could have danced just fine to the other song but now he was clueless as to what to do. Videl was having no problems however as she bounced to the beat and moved against him as he stood there clueless. It didn't take long for Videl to notice.
"Okay look just move with the beat."
She took Gohan's hands and tried to coach him into the bouncing. He was really a natural but he didn't get it until the song was practically over. Next up was a slow song. Gohan and Videl rocked slowly back and forth with Videl's head on his shoulder. She loved the way it felt to be standing there with his arms around her. She felt safe.
The song ended and another rap song came on, but this time Gohan was ready and he took to it like a pro as he and Videl danced the night away until about ten o'clock after the last song ended. A band got up on stage and arranged themselves. They were only missing one thing: their lead singer. The announcer came on:
"Okay folks, the moment we've all been waiting for. Put your hands together for Videl and Dyskrasia!"
A/N: Thank you all for being so patient. :)
