A/N: Yay! Everyone seemed to like the last chapter... LOL, perhaps I should make an "Are You Vicious Like Videl Satan" test on Quizilla like Aragorn and DBZAngelX asked. LMAO! I think I might, if I do I'll be sure to give you a link. Hee, hee. I hope you enjoy this chapter for in it Videl meets Chi Chi and I can assure you, this chapter will get interesting.
cosmictwilight: Ah,now you smell what i'm cookin'!... I had enabled the link it didn't show up so it doesn't work. I gave you the link on MSN so... you should have it now but if not, it's in my bio. It's called The DBZ Chat Central... of course you're welcome to join the others :P One of which is yours... Any who, glad you liked it.
Aragorn566: I am making a test on Quizilla, I'll send you a link once it's done :D.
SSJ3MajinGohan: Your review was very comforting. Normally I have to ask for suggestions if I need it and then people decide to tell me what they think but you just came straight out with it. Thanks a bunch :P. I'll try and work on my chapters but because this one was ready written I didn't want to change it. I have been taking more care with my writing, trying to add more description and your suggestion helped a lot too. Thank you for your review, it's just what I needed.
DBZAngelX: I have come to the conclusion that YOU talk like ME! I don't talk like you... YOU talk like ME! HA! ::pokes tongue out::... Yes... thank you for reviewing... and as for pancakes mine look just like yours... which is strangely the wrong way a pancake should look... I can cook noodles though, they turn out okay.
zfighter1989: Oh, no worries! I do that all the time, I read three or four fan fictions at a time so I often get confused... I didn't mean to say that laughing was wrong, I was just wondering what it was that was humorous because I don't remember writing anything that was meant to be funny... I could be wrong though, I may have done so... I honestly can't remember :D Sorry for any inconvenience (how nerdy does that sound? :P) Thank you for reviewing!
Ethereal Messengers
Chapter Six
After their pleasant walk through Satan City, Gohan sadly had to leave before his mother ripped out her hair in worry. Gohan wanted to see Videl again, even if he had only seen her twice he really liked her. He offered for her to come to his place and meet his mother and younger brother. With approval of her father, Videl was allowed to go the following day.
"So," she said "You do live far away,"
Videl had arrived at the Son household after a several hour drive, and was greeted by Gohan.
"I sure do, this is my humble home in the mountains," Gohan said "Would you like to meet my mum and brother?"
"Sure, that'd be great," Videl said.
"Mum!" Gohan exclaimed "Videl's here!"
All of a sudden, Chi Chi came sprinting down the stairs excitedly. She walked calmly over to her son and hopefully future wife.
"Hi, pleased to meet you Mrs Son,"
Videl bowed. Chi Chi smiled, politely.
"None of this "Mrs Son" business, call me Chi Chi,"
"Okay then... Chi Chi..." Videl smiled nervously, she had a feeling the politeness wouldn't last.
"I've heard a lot about you, you're the flavour of the week in this house,"
Gohan blushed and Videl stared at her feet.
"Not just here, everywhere," Videl sighed.
"Well," Chi Chi said "Here isn't everywhere, so today you are going to forget about that rubbish and have nothing but fun,"
Videl smiled "Yeah, lots of laughing," Gohan and Videl giggled slightly at their pathetic laughing session the day before. Chi Chi furrowed her brow in wonder for what was so funny.
"I'll leave you two kids to it then," Chi Chi said.
Videl smiled at Gohan who sheepishly smiled back with his head bowed. "Groovy," Videl said. The smile on Gohan's face widened and he lifted his eyes to look at her. The furrow in Chi Chi's brow deepened in concern for what they were smirking about. She smiled almost too politely and left.
"Hey Goten..." Chi Chi beckoned evilly.
"Yeah?"
"Watch Gohan and his friend for me, okay?"
"Why would I want to spy on Gohan?"
"What? Spying? It's not spying honey... it's just making sure Videl doesn't do anything... bad to your brother,"
"Bad?" Goten asked, worried for his brothers safety "Like what? Videl is nice, what would she do that's... bad..?"
Chi Chi thought a moment on how to word her concerns to her youngest son.
"Well... Videl seems to like Gohan... a lot... and Gohan obviously likes Videl..."
"A lot?" Goten asked, finishing his mother's slowly said sentence.
"Yes... I want you to make sure they don't do anything bad," Chi Chi said.
"Oh! You mean kissy-kissy?"
Chi Chi smiled slightly at her son's lack of knowledge. Just like his father however he was spot on this time.
"Yes... but, you have to make sure they don't see you, if they do any... bad stuff, come back to me and tell me... Heh, heh, heh, I'll have my broom ready for that girl's backside," Chi Chi continued to mumble about girls touching her son as Goten saluted and left to make sure no... bad stuff went on between Videl and his brother.
"So, did you like my mum? I hope she wasn't too intimidating,"
Videl smiled, not wanting to hurt Gohan's feelings. "Well... I only just met her so I can't judge yet,"
Clearly, Videl had already made a judgement. Chi Chi was an over-protective parent like her father.
'I wonder if Gohan has gotten a girlfriend lecture,'
She looked over at Gohan who was smiling as his hair played across his face and into his eyes.
"Where's your dad..?"
"My dad?" Gohan asked
"If you don't mind me asking,"
Gohan smiled and looked up into the sky "He's up there," Gohan said pointing to the clouds "He died, during the Cell Games..."
"I'm sorry... how could I have forgotten? So your dad was the first to fight Cell, the first Golden fighter?"
Gohan paused and gulped. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out as he saw Videl furrow her brow in concern.
"Are you okay Gohan?" she asked.
"Y... yeah, i'm fine,"
"So... your father was the golden fighter then?"
"Don't tell anyone then the whole world will know!" Gohan frantically requested.
Videl's azure eyes sparkled with interest as she stared into space.
"And you were the little boy, weren't you Gohan?"
Once again, he couldn't speak.
"I knew it, from the moment I saw you till the time you stuttered, you are the golden fighter Gohan, aren't you?"
"Yeah," he squeaked.
Things were going just a little to fast for him. He had only met Videl a few days ago and instantly she made him melt until he fed her long felt hunger of curiosity with what she wanted to hear. He looked into Videl's once again, sparkling eyes. This time staring into his.
"I watched you fight," Videl said "It cut off half-way through so I didn't get to see it all,"
"No one did, only the people that were there did," Gohan said, gaining back his confidence.
"You were there, tell me. Did my father really defeat Cell?"
Gohan's confidence dropped. "Are you sure you want to know?"
"I know now, you just gave it away, who defeated Cell... please Gohan, I need to know this... for the past five years I have been living a lie and I need to set this straight,"
Videl's eyes no longer sparkled beautifully, they were welling up with tears as she waited impatiently for Gohan to answer her long awaited question.
"I... I..." Gohan sighed.
'What's wrong with me? The words... they keep slipping away...'
"I did," Gohan said.
Videl looked up and into his eyes and smiled.
"Thankyou Gohan,"
-#-#-
Goten smiled as he watched the two teens from in his hideaway amongst the trees.
'Mum's going to chuck a major psyche at Oniisan for telling Videl his secret,' he thought.
The long bit of grass flopped in Goten's mouth as he switched sides with it.
'When are they going to start doing bad stuff? I'm getting bored,'
Goten raised an eyebrow as Videl kissed Gohan on the cheek. He watched his brother turn a bright crimson as she pulled away.
'Ooh, some action,'
Goten silently got up then raced away leaving the two teens behind.
Gohan and Videl returned to the Son household soon after Gohan's slightly forced confessions. Chi Chi stood in the front doorway, a look that would kill your grandma on her face. In her right hand she held a broom and was smacking the end down hard on her left hand. Upon seeing Videl, she hit her hand harder, subconsciously hurting herself. Videl looked into her fiery eyes and knew instantly that she had done something wrong.
"What's up with your mum?... She's staring at me..." Videl whispered.
"Uh-oh..." Gohan sighed.
"Uh-oh what?" Videl asked, slightly scared.
"You did something to make her angry... obviously,"
"What did I do?"
"God only knows..." Gohan said as he patted Videl on the shoulder, "Good luck soldier," Gohan saluted her and left his friend and mother to their business. Videl laughed nervously.
"Heh, hi Chi Chi... how you doing?" Videl squeaked as Chi Chi neared her.
She was still smacking the broom in her left hand, her face was now curled up in rage. She knelt down and looked Videl right in the face.
"What did you do to my son?!?" Chi Chi growled as Videl almost wet her pants in relief of not being hit with that ironically thick handled broom.
"I didn't do anything to your son, not that I know of anyway,"
"You tell lies!" Chi Chi shouted as her eyes seemed to bulge out of her head. She looked at her broom then back at Videl.
"Why? What do you think I did?" Videl squeaked, hiding her head.
"You... kissed him!" Chi Chi said, slightly disgusted.
"Well, la-de-fricken-da!" Videl growled back at Chi Chi, "It was just on the cheek woman, get over it!"
"Get over it?!? Get over it?!? You touched my son! You... you..."
"Go on, say it I dare ya!"
"HUSSY!" Chi Chi screamed.
Videl seamed taken aback by this remark, she expected something with less accusation. Videl's lip trembled violently as Chi Chi smiled in satisfaction of Videl's hurt feelings.
"Hussy?!? Who are you calling a hussy?!?" Videl screamed, having enough of being cowardly.
"You!" Chi Chi screeched back at her.
Videl instantly lost her cool with the smart comment and left her mark on Chi Chi's face. A very, very red mark. Chi Chi held her sore face as Videl let off some steam.
Meanwhile, Gohan and Goten were in the house watching from the window as the two temperamental women fought. Their eyes went from one to the other as hands flew towards faces.
"Ow! Just stick your filthy fingers in my mouth why don't you?" Videl cried.
"Okay, I will!" Chi Chi screamed back.
The slapping fest continued with Chi Chi now aiming at the mouth.
"Er... how long do you think this will go on for?" Gohan asked.
"Half an hour or less?" Goten suggested.
"Nah, I think way more than that," Gohan scoffed.
"Bet?" Goten asked while watching the two women fight.
"I only have ten, how about you?" Gohan said looking through the zenie in his pocket.
"Five," Goten replied.
"Five then,"
"Five it is," Goten replied, wincing as Videl stopped the slapping with a punch.
"Cheater!" Chi Chi cried.
"You were sticking your fingers in my mouth!"
"Well at least I didn't punch you!"
Chi Chi pulled out the broom and neared Videl. "Heh, heh, heh... come here Videl..."
"What?!? No!"
Videl ran into the house and hid behind Gohan.
"What are you doing?" Gohan screamed "I'm going to get hit too!"
"Run!" Goten screamed as Chi Chi came storming into the house.
The three black haired children raced out of the Son household and away from the crazy parent.
"Your mum is scary," Videl breathed as the three ran full pelt even though Chi Chi wasn't chasing them.
"You owe me five bucks," Goten said, breaking the silence.
"Damn," Gohan whispered.
He pulled a five zenie out of his pocket and handed it to his younger brother.
"Mum is going to kill you when we get back," Goten said to Gohan.
"Oh yeah? Well i'm gonna kill you for telling!"
"Telling what?!?" Goten asked, seemingly forgetting.
"That Videl kissed me!" Gohan blushed "Even if it was on the cheek..."
"Hey! I got ice cream! Mum barely ever gives me ice cream!"
"True, true... I'll forgive you if you save me some next time,"
"Okay..."
"Not that there will be a next time! Right Goten?!?"
"Right! That was just a little too scary..."
"Just a little?" Videl squeaked "What planet are you from?"
"Earth, but our dad's from Vegeta-Sei..."
"Huh?"
"Nothing, nothing, Goten's just kidding around... you know, smart-ass siblings..." Gohan covered up.
"Oh,"
Gohan gave Goten a death stare who instantly gulped and shut his mouth.
"You two better not get married, mum will kill you and your children... even if she is grandchild thirsty!" Goten cried.
Gohan fell forward to the ground, his legs sticking up in the air stopping his run and everyone else's.
"We won't be getting married, don't you worry Goten..." Gohan moaned.
"You two are very lovey-dovey though, who says you won't?"
"Me," Gohan said, pulling himself from the ground.
"And what does Videl have to say on the situation?"
"My cheeks hurt..."
"You shouldn't have kissed Gohan!" Goten cried.
"Well Gohan was upset and... and... I wanted to comfort him,"
"Great job, now you made mum angry," Goten retorted "And your gonna be so busted for telling her our secret,"
"Please don't tell! Mum will kill me!"
"It'll cost you,"
Gohan sighed and handed Goten the rest of his zenie, "It's all I have,"
"It'll do, consider the secret never told,"
"And you can't tell anyone either," Gohan said sternly to Videl.
"Well... there's a small favour I wanted to ask you..."
Videl grinned in satisfaction at the interested look on Gohan's face. She would get her way.
A/N: Chi Chi doesn't like Videl... ooh... there's a change from your average GH-VI fic! This mother may be grandchild thirsty but I don't think Videl was what she had in mind for a perfect daughter. Maybe they need to get to know each other a little better... or maybe Gohan can convince Chi Chi that Videl is really a nice girl and not the young teenage brat that Chi Chi thinks she is. I might not have a new chapter all to soon, one, I have a lot of overdue assignments (my bad :P) two, I'm making that test :P, and three I'm making a forum so I'm doing some GFX and colour scheming for it which has taken up time... and then there is my other fan fics that I have to update and others that I am working on, I might go on hiatus again... I don't want to but I guess I will have to if I can't write.
