Chapter Fourteen: Say 'Bye-Bye'

-

The next morning came quickly and Videl was the first to wake up. She didn't have that good of sleep since…ever! She opened her eyes groggily, though not really wanting to, to see what it was that gave her that good of a sleep.

She felt a soft intake of breath and then felt it stir her hair a little when whatever it was she was laying on exhaled. She felt the arm on her waist tighten a little and she was able to figure out the person was Gohan by his hair. She yawned and snuggled into his chest again.

Gohan…nice… her eyes snapped open. GOHAN?!

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

-

Gohan's eyes snapped open and he stood up quickly. "WHAT, WHO, WHERE-" Videl slapped her hand onto his mouth, Gohan was about to remove it but when he saw the look in her eye he decided that it was the best for his own health that he didn't. Videl slowly started to breathe the normal pattern for people her age and removed her hand from Gohan's mouth.

"Gohan, oh dear buddy of mine-" Gohan winced. His mother did something similar to that whenever he was in trouble, "-Would you mind telling me why I was on top of you, ASLEEP?!" She yelled. Gohan winced but Videl decided to pretend that she didn't notice that.

"Um…because you fell asleep on me?"

"…AND I WAS SLEEPING ON YOU BE-" Before she could finish that sentence, the small woman the two of them met before floated up to them, glaring.

"In case neither of you noticed, everyone else is still asleep…" She looked around quick and then shook her head when she saw that everybody in their grade was sound asleep. She sweat dropped but turned back to them. She waved her hand in front of them and a piece of paper appeared in her fist.

She cleared her throat as she opened it up.

"Let's see, let's see… I have here a picture, would either of you like to tell me what it is?" The old witch asked. She rolled out the paper and showed it to the two of them. Gohan looked indifferent but Videl's eyes widened and her mouth went into 'o' form. Gohan looked at her wondering what was wrong. She pointed to it.

"That's the picture I drew in my sleep. Hey! How'd you get that! I put that into my bag!" Videl stomped her foot on the ground and put her fists on her hips. The old woman shrugged her shoulders.

"Finders keepers, losers weepers. Now come along, follow me…" She began to float away. She turned around when she didn't hear any footfall behind her and said "Or else!"

They walked quietly to Baba's home. She led them to the back and closed the door behind them quickly when they got in.

The room was small and square. There was nearly nothing in there except a table with a VERY light coating of dust and a small spider web, a chair (same with the dust) and a few books here and there. Baba went and picked up a book that was lying open on the floor and walked over to the chair, sweeping the dust off the chair with her arm. (1)

She opened the book to a page, muttering under her breath making Videl and Gohan wonder more and more on what the heck was going on.

"Ah! Here it is!" Baba turned the book around and pointed to one of the pictures in it, when they saw it they gasped.

"That girl…she looks exactly like the girl that I…" Baba nodded her head.

"Yes… Gokan-"

"Gohan."

"Whatever, can you tell me if anything strange has been happening to you?" He looked at her strangely and back to Videl. Baba illustrated more of what she wanted him to do. "This girl can't draw," Videl was about to interject but Gohan shook his head at her before she had the chance. "And yet she draws the most extraordinary picture of a girl, IN THE MIDDLE OF HER SLEEP! So…has anything strange been happening to you?" Gohan shrugged.

"Nothing that you don't know about…except…I do have some letters…?" He reached into his pocket and pulled the yellow pieces of paper out; Baba snatched them from his hand quickly.

"Let's see here…" She read them over quickly and nodded. "Just as I thought! You two landed quite a distance from where you were supposed to!" Before either of the teens could ask her what she meant by that, she thrust her hand out at them, with a white light shining from it, swallowing the two of them up.

A small poof of smoke was all that was left of them and Baba smiled…slightly.

"I hope those two are alright…and I'm gonna WIN this tournament!"

-

"Oomph!" Videl got out as she landed on her stomach. Gohan fell onto his back with pretty much the same noise. Videl shook some grass out of her hair and turned to glare at Gohan.

"What the hell did that old woman do?" Gohan coughed into his hand and shrugged.

"I haven't got a clue. I'm guessing she knows why we came here in the first place. She usually does." Videl nodded and was about to ask him once again what the hell was going on when she smelt something burning.

"Hey Gohan, do you smell that? What is I-AHH!" Videl leaped to her feet quickly, pointing towards the opposite end of wherever they were. Gohan whipped his head over quickly to see what was wrong and he silently cursed, having no clue whatsoever to do.

"We-We-We're on a freaking flaming hill!" She yelled. Gohan turned back to her and grinned, breaking into a smile. Videl would have been worried about his health had she not been worried about her life.

A flaming hill? Frying Pan Mountain! (2)Gohan sighed thankfully and went over to calm Videl down.

"Videl, shush, quiet, nothing's wrong!" She looked up at him like he was insane.

"Nothing's wrong? NOTHING'S WRONG?! GOHAN! We're standing on a HILL that's on FIRE and nothing is WRONG with that? Oh excuse me for thinking that something WAS!" Gohan shook his head at her and forced her to turn around.

"Videl stop panicking-"

"I'M NOT PANICKING! I'M THINKING YOU'RE INSANE! I-" Gohan covered her mouth and started to talk as clearly as he could.

"Videl, I want you to look through the flames alright, and then I want you to tell me where you think we are, just take a random guess, okay?" Videl nodded her head slowly, but Gohan didn't take his hand off her mouth until he made her promise that she wouldn't scream if he let go.

Videl did as he told her to, thinking he was nuts the entire time. Her eyes caught a flash of the road and something clicked.

"Gohan… are we at your house?" he nodded.

"Well, not exactly my house but that's close enough. We're at the location for it anyway." Videl nodded and asked him another question.

"Why the hell exactly are we here?"

A/N: Ugh, muh fingers! They are uh…gonna fall!!

- Did you know that dust is 99% skin tissue? That means that hardly ANY dust can be on books and stuff, even though a lot of time has passed though nobody has been in there. That always annoyed me in some stories… -.-;; the geek in me LIVES!!!!!!! Lol. - I'm changing the legend a touch…
