------------------- -------------------- ------------------
AFTER SCHOOL
"So you guys" Erasa began "are you excited about the trip tomorrow?"
"Ugh, Erasa, I still can't believe you're going too. I just can't picture you, the super city girl, in the wilderness." Videl said.
"I can picture it…" Erasa said with a dreamy look in her eyes. "All those sweaty muscular boys… mmmmmmm"
"I should have known. Only you Erasa." Videl replied, rolling her eyes.
"Anyays, since we'll be gone from all civilization for the next three days, I was thinking' the four of us go see that new Saiyaman movie that's out."
"Whatever" Was all she got from Sharpener.
"I see that buffoon every day! Why would I want to see a movie on him! Videl yelled.
"Because, I want you to. Besides, it's either that or you're are coming shopping with me right now!"
"Sure! Whatever you want Erasa, just don't make me go shopping with you again! I'll go see this stupid movie alright!"
Erasa smiled knowingly and nodded at her.
"Well what about you Gohan? You coming?"
"Umm, I don't really want to see that…"
"Gohan! If I have to go, then you have to go!" Videl yelled angrily.
"Err…ok?"
"Yay! I knew I could count on you guys!" And with that, she grabbed ahold of Videl and Gohan in one hand and Sharpener in the other, led the way to the student parking lot, and decapsulized her car.
---------------- ------------------ ----------
In a matter of minutes, the friends were parked outside of the closest movie theatre, and began walking inside. Gohan, Videl, and Sharpener gave their money to Erasa to buy the tickets, and Gohan got out some change and put it into the pay phone in the corner of the room.
"Hey, I got the tickets guys! Hurry up, let's go! It startes in about five minutes!"
Sharpener and Videl quickly shushed her.
"Shhhh! I wanna hear this, this is funny!" Sharpener whispered.
The three stood a few feet from Gohan, where he was making the call to tell his mother where they were.
"Hey mom! Ummmm…my friends and I are at the movies, so I'll be home late ok?"
Suddenly, he yanked the phone away from his ear as fast as he could and smacked his hand over the top half. Pretty much everyone in the theatre could still hear the screaming, Even though Gohan was trying to muffle it with his hand.
After a minute or two, the screaming finally stopped, and Gohan cautiously raised to phone to his ear again.
"Mom? … I AM coming back you know."
The screaming began again, and before Gohan covered the phone, they heard something along the lines of 'don't talk tome to that tone of voice young man! You get your butt back here this instant! I don't care if-"
Once again, he waited for the screaming to die down, and then lifted the phone to his ear.
"Mom! My friends and I are leaving for Wilderness Camp tomorrow, and we just wanted to go out and do something special before then! I don't have any homework due tomorrow, and I won't be getting behind in my studies, and Erasa already bought the tickets!"
"Gohan.."
"Yes?…" he asked, taking the phone a few inches away from his ear, just incase.
"Is that nice Videl girl you fight crime with there with you?" She asked calmly.
"Yeah…wh-"
"Well the of course you can stay! Why didn't you say so before! Stay out as looooong as you like!"
"Um, thanks?"
"You're welcome sweetie! See you tonight! Bye!"
Gohan stared strangely at the phone, as the dial tone began again. He raised his eyebrows and cocked his head to the side, and then hung it back up, and walked over to his friends.
"Alright then…let's get some FOOD!"
"Oh oh oh! I forgot! When I bought the tickets, we got these two coupons for a free 'super hero sized' drink with the purchase of an extra large popcorn! How about me an' Gohan share, and then Sharpie and Videl share!"
"Ha ha. Very funny Erasa. There is no way I'm sharing with Sharpener. If he hits on me one more time… You share with him!"
"Oh, fine them. I'll share with Sharpener, and Videl can share with Gohan."
"What! Share! But I'm starving! Can't I just get my own?!?
"Shut up Gohan!" Videl started, smacking him on the back of the head. "Just deal with it ok! I didn't bring very much money with me, so we're sharing, just because it's cheaper. I'm sure you won't die if all you get is half of an extra-large popcorn and drink!"
"Grrr…fine."
"Don't growl at me!" She yelled, smacking him upside the head again.

As they walked in, the preview for the new 'Cell Games' reenactment movie, starring of course 'The Great Hercule' was finishing. They quickly found four seats together near the middle of the theatre, and settled down with their popcorn and their pop.
Well this will be an interesting hour and a half. Gohan thought, glancing to his left where Erasa stared at him lovingly, to his right where Videl stared at him…scarily. I wonder if this movie will even be worth watching?
Just as he finished the thought, the movie began. Wow, maybe it won't be so bad. He thought.
The opening credits were pretty good. They had real footage of him, as Saiyaman, saving various people playing to dramatic music. There was him carrying a pair of four year old twins out of the fifth floor of a burning building, and a scene where someone had filmed him stopping a bus because the driver had passed out and was laying strangely on the steering wheel, and many other scenes as well, with the stars names flashing across the screen. Near the end of the credits, the screen went black, and a message in white came up that said 'with special guest star, The Great Saiyaman'.
Oh I remember that! They were having trouble rigging some stunts, so they somehow got a hold of me and I agreed to do a few stunts for them! He he.
Then the movie began. Unfortunately, the credits were about 500 times better than the actual movie. It was the one of the corniest things the teens had ever seen, and in Gohan's mind, it's stupidity even rivaled that of the original reenactment of the Cell games. Everything was blown completely out of proportion, especially the poses. At one point, they had the actor playing Saiyaman spend an entire ten minutes doing poses that looked ridiculous, even by Gohan's standards, before he ran into a burning building to save some people.
Videl looked like she was about to explode when she saw what they'd made her out to be in the movie. They had the actress wearing form fitting clothes, and acting all lovey-dovey around Saiyaman. She would always say things like 'oh Saiyaman, you're my hero!' in an annoying high pitched voice, and Saiyaman would pick her up and carry her as he flew out into the sunset after each save. It was like a really bad mix between a comic book and a western.
The next thing Gohan knew, he was being repeatedly smacked across the face and his name was being screamed. He gradually came to and blinked his eyes a couple of times, only to find he was staring right into the face of a very angry looking Videl.
"Took you long enough! The movie finished ten minutes ago!"
"Oh. Sorry." Gohan said flatly, looking upset that his nap was interrupted.
"Erasa and Sharpener already left! Now, do you need a ride or what!"
"Nah, I'm good." He replied, covering up a rather large yawn.
Videl stomped out of the room, leaving Gohan by himself.
"I wonder how the movie ended." He said to no one. "Well, I'd better get home and start packing for tomorrow." Gohan reached under the seat and grabbed his school bag, and finally left the theatre. Once he was a safe distance away from any large group of people, he jumped into the air and flew home, forgetting completely that he had meant to stop by and ask Bulma to fix his Saiyaman watch.
