Chapter Six: The Lime Light
-
Gohan put on his shoes and tied them slowly. Vegeta was outside the door complaining at how long Gohan was taking.
"Can't you move any faster than that brat? It's been half an hour already!" Gohan would have said something until he noticed that Vegeta was telling the truth.
"Oh shit!" He put on the dinner jacket quickly and ran out the doors, nearly pummeling Vegeta.
"Watch where you're going brat." With that, Vegeta turned around and started walking, not caring whether or not Gohan caught up.
Gohan dusted himself off and began following the other prince. Looking around the walls he saw a ton of paintings and wondering how they even had all of them. He heard some bustling around in the room that they just walked by. Vegeta stopped for a second and stepped forward, leaving Gohan to wonder why he did that.
He found out quickly.
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" A food cart that was carrying two little chibis suddenly pummeled Gohan. The two on the cart which was now pretty much destroyed because it crashed, got up and looked at what they hit to make them steer so off course.
"Uh oh." Came out of their mouths as Gohan started to peel himself from the floor and turn his glare over to them.
"You're…dead." The chibi's eyes widened and were out of sight in a blink of an eye, Gohan right behind them, at least until Vegeta grabbed him by the scruff of his neck.
"You've got a place to be brat." Gohan looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Aw, come on Vegeta let's-" Vegeta growled in his face.
"We're. Going." Gohan nodded his head and Vegeta dropped him considering he lifted Gohan off the ground.
Gohan re-straightened himself up and followed the prince down the hall yet again. They finally walked into the dining room and Vegeta stood stiffly next to Gohan. He pointed a finger at one of the guards, indicating he come over here.
"The eldest brat of the screaming banshee is here." The guard looked confused and Gohan intervened.
"I'm the eldest prince or w-" He felt and elbow in his gut and keeled over. The guard was about to do something until Gohan looked up pissed.
"What the hell'd you do that for?"
"You weren't going to use 'proper' language." Gohan snorted and stood back up again. The guard looked at the two and nodded.
"I will go an introduce you two." The guard bowed and left quickly. Soon his voice bellowed through the hall and Gohan groaned.
He couldn't believe this…
-
Videl was trying to figure out how she could have been so dumb! How could she have overlooked Gohan's last name?! She studied the tapes! She saw past tournaments! How could she have not connected Gohan to Son Goku?
She decided to not blame herself though, after all, the way Gohan acted and seemed, you'd doubt that he even knew what 'martial arts' meant.
Getting up she turned on the news to get her mind off of it.
"-And on tomorrow's news, we'll look at how safe our your children really? And have coverage on the newly rebuilt Muao kingdom. That's all for the 6:00 o'clock news! Good night." Videl groaned at the news report. Everywhere she looked literally had Gohan. She didn't need this…
She walked up to her room when she bumped into one of the maids.
"Hey Tish, what're you in such a hurry about?" The maid held up a box.
"It tis ya dess lady." Videl nodded. Then she thought about something and looked at the retreating maid.
"What do I need a dress for now?" The maid looked back at her.
"You were invited to go to the press conference for prince Gohan…" Videl was about to say something when she stopped.
"What about my dad?"
"He's still waiting for his invitation. He says something like they're just going to come and give it to him themselves…" Videl's eyes lightened up.
"I've been invited?!?! Not 'Please come Mr. Satan, bring your kid if you want', but me?! YES!!" Videl grabbed the box out of the maid's hands and ran into her room as fast as she could. She couldn't believe this!!! She was invited and not her father or because of her father!
She looked at the box in her hands silently.
"Thanks Gohan."
-
Gohan sat at the dinner. He knew he was in big trouble tomorrow. He had that press conference. He brought the fork with noodles covering it to his mouth very slowly and chewed the food. He could tell that this wasn't his mom's noodles… They were good but nothing compared to his mom's.
He looked back at the woman talking to him.
"This must be a wonderful surprise for you…" Gohan could have sworn she purred and he was about to throw up. What did he do to deserve this?
He looked over to Trunks and Goten who were still looking out of breath from the food cart incident earlier. They were lucky though. They were the only two at the table who were the same age and had the same interests for that matter. The other closest person to their age was six years older than Trunks.
She was also the girl who purred.
Gohan ate his food silently, when all he really wanted to do was dive in, be excused, and go train or do homework or something…
The girl was relentless though, she kept on trying to get him to do something. Finally, Gohan decided to see if he could shut her up.
"I don't believe I even know what your name is." The girl widened her eyes at him and stuttered slightly, seeing that he was getting angry.
"Francine." Gohan nodded.
"Nice." He went back to eating, the very nice alternative from talking to the girl.
-
The dinner ended about twenty minutes ago and Gohan took these last few moments to eat up as much food as he could get into his mouth. Apparently at the dinner he ate to slowly, seeing as how he was still extremely hungry.
Finishing up, he went to go to his room. Everyone finally just left him alone, something he thought he wasn't going to get since this thing started.
He opened up the door and looked in the room. It looked so empty… The room was about the size of his house, he wasn't going to use all this space…
He sighed and started to pull things closer to his bed. He needed to be comfortable and having everything about a hundred feet away from him wasn't 'comfortable'.
-
The next Day…
-
Videl woke up early and grabbed the box. She was taking the chance to talk to Gohan big time. She couldn't miss it. She put on the dress which looked a little old fashioned. It was deep red with gold trimmings on it. She slipped it on and went over to her jewelry chest. Since she never pierced her ears she had to wear clip-on's, that was fine with her though. She slipped on one that past her ear and dangled a little red jewel on the bottom. She put on a pair of dark red sandals and took a breath.
It was time to go see Gohan.
She walked outside of her room and was complimented on her dress by all the maids, most of whom were shocked to actually see her in one.
Videl thanked them but left the house quickly, even missing breakfast. So… she was excited. This was the first time she wasn't invited as 'Hercule's Daughter'. Who wouldn't like that?
Videl fell asleep on the ride there. She was forced to ride in a limo though she would have preferred the helicopter by far. She would have been there at least an hour ago if they let her take it.
Her eyes drifted shut and she fell asleep from her morning.
They snapped open what seemed to be a few seconds later when she felt them stop. She looked out the window and before she had a chance to lower it, her door was opened.
"We have arrived Ms. Satan." Videl looked at his hand and rolled her eyes. She grabbed it and stepped out. They were the first people here apparently… The driver was about to go with her but she decided that she had enough of this. She told him that she'd go alone and when he tried to protest she glared at him. The man put up his hands in surrender and backed up to the car quickly, trying to get away from the teenager's glare.
She snorted and started over the new 'home' for Gohan. She looked around for a doorbell or something but nothing was there. She didn't need to worry though because a minute later the door opened. She looked at the clear space in front of her and then looked down.
"Hi! Who are you? I'm Goten! Do you know my brother? You're pretty! Can I marry y-" Goten was dragged away from the door by Gohan. He looked up to see whom it was his brother was talking to. [1] He didn't recognize who it was for a moment but then felt her ki and nearly died from shock.
"V-Videl? What are you doing here?" Videl smiled at his little brother who was struggling to get free from his brother.
"I was invited. I think I may have come early…" Gohan thought about it for a moment but then it dawned on him.
"The Press conference today - aw dammit…Oh yeah, do you want come in?" Videl rolled her eyes.
"I'd thought you never ask." She walked inside and didn't know whether to feel at home or not. She looked at Gohan was currently giving his little brother a noogie. Videl smiled at it and finally Goten got free and ran away from the two of them.
Gohan looked back at Videl embarrassed.
"Sorry about that. Goten just gets a little hyper every now and then…" She shook her head at him.
"It's ok Gohan. Besides, he's so cute and adorable! What could he possibly ever do." She turned away from him and Gohan rolled his eyes. That's only when he's not with Trunks, and even alone he's a handful.
He started to follow Videl down the halls. She was looking over all the paintings that he was wondering over before.
"Damn… I'm so used to see paintings of my father at home…this is definitely a nice change." Gohan looked around himself.
"Yeah, I guess it is… Aw damn, I'm gonna be late for breakfast! You want some?" Videl looked down at her dress.
"Isn't this a little… formal for breakfast?" Gohan shrugged.
"My mom and Bulma are more than likely going to be former… maybe my grandpa and Vegeta will be too… Goten and Trunks, his best friend, will all be wearing gi's though, so it's your pick." Videl nodded.
"I'll just keep this…" Gohan shook his head and ran down the hall.
"Gotta get dressed, just a couple minutes!" Videl nodded and just as Gohan said he was out of his white t-shirt and black shorts and into the traditional Son gi.
"Not to shabby." Gohan snorted.
"Thanks."
-
Everyone looked up in shock when they saw Gohan walking in with a girl, deep in conversation. Videl currently wasn't noticing as Gohan had somehow roped her into helping her with her math (without the book, paper, and writing utensils!).
"That can't be right…"
"Trust me Videl, it is…"
"But-"
"Ahem?" Gohan snapped his head up to look at his mother and blushed slightly.
"Hey mom, this is Videl…" Chichi nodded to her.
"Hello…"
"Hi…" It was quiet for a while and the gang (the Z gang was here 'congratulating' Gohan - Along with Vegeta…) started to smirk at Gohan. They didn't know whether or not to be shocked when Gohan started to glare at them…
Videl looked at him and cocked an eyebrow into which he stopped glaring and put his hand behind his head in the 'Son gesture'. He walked her over to the table, the silence of the room was just wrong since even Goten and Trunks weren't eating when they noticed that Gohan brought in a girl.
Somewhere during the glare, a maid or butler or something must have grabbed another chair because their were two empty ones. Gohan rolled his eyes and went down to the table for breakfast. Both him and Videl ignoring the stares from everyone at the table.
-
Walking into his room, Gohan sat down on the bed and covered his face with her hands.
"I'm soooooooo sorry…" Videl rolled her eyes.
"It's… okaaaaay… There… your family…" Gohan looked up at them.
"In that case, I'm an orphan." Videl rolled her eyes.
"Aw you poor thing. Anyway…when's this press conferene thingy?" Gohan snorted.
"Maybe an hour or so… Why?"
"Just wondering… Why didn't you tell me you were a prince? Or anyone else for that matter."
"Didn't know."
"Haha, really though Gohan, why not?" He looked at her seriously.
"I knew that I was a prince I never really acknowledged it though…" Videl looked at him like he was nuts.
"You're a PRINCE and you didn't even THINK about it?!" Gohan shrugged lightly.
"No one else did, why me?" Videl thought about that one for a minute. If Gohan DID acknowledge it, he'd probably be like Sharpner now. She didn't need that…
"Okay, good point… But…"
"But what?"
"What else are you hiding?" Gohan looked Videl in the eye.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
