"Arranged Marriage??" Videl asked curiously as the group looked at her.

"Yeh…"Gohan answered trailing off as Lime smirked.

"It's a funny story actually" Lime answered

FLASHBACK

Gohan sat in the living room with Lime. Both were only 10 years of age. The duo were playing a game of cards. Lime smirked and placed two cards down.

"Hit me!" she demanded

He gave her another two cards and placed his cards on his lap, before placing a five-dollar note in the middle of them.

"I'm gonna win this one Miss Lime" Gohan teased

"Uh huh" Lime said "Whatever you say Goober! I raise the stakes by $10"

Gohan looked shocked as he reached into his pocket and placed another five-dollar note in the middle. "Show your hand!"

"You first" Lime insisted, Gohan thinking he had the advantage placed his hand infront of them only to receive a wicked laugh from Lime, "Awe too bad…"

"Why?"

"I win" Lime showed her cards. Gohan's eyes began to twitch. She had 4 aces and a king.

"Damnit" Gohan said as Goku walked into the room with a huge fish on his back.

"Hey you two…Where's ChiChi?" Goku asked

"I'm In The kitchen where else would I be?" ChiChi shouted as she walked into the living room only to find Lime laughing in Gohan's face.

"Oh you two would make the most perfect couple" ChiChi said dreamily as Gohan and Lime both looked at eachother and sighed nervously.

"We're JUST friends" Lime said exxagerrating the 'Just Friends'.

"On nonsense you would make the best couple ever….and give me all the grandbabies that I want" the woman said happily again

"Uh I don't think so" Gohan answered

"Oh, maybe I should talk to Limes grandfather about an arranged marriage oh this'll be so romantic"

END FLASHBACK

Gohan laughed nervously. "And that's when it all started"

"That's weird" Jo answered

"Yeh…"Videl answered dreamily

"Geez, Lime your telling everyone about my grand children crazed mother, I would like to have kids one day you know…preferably with a woman" Gohan said

"I'll have kids with you anyday Gohan" tiffany answered looking off into space.

Videl and Lime stared at the girl beside them. Tiffany looked up.

"Huh? Why are you staring at me like that?" tiffany asked "Did I say that aloud?"

"Yeh" Jo said teasing "Never knew you felt that way about Gohan Tiff"

Tiffany blushed. "So um what are you guys doing this afternoon?"

"We're going shopping this afternoon" a bubbly voice said from behind as Eraser sat down beside Jo on the chair. Sharpner behind her.

"No" videl said "Anything but that, please I'd rather be shot"

"Awe come on Vi, we need to get you some new clothes. I'm sorry but those black pants and white singlet are just so boring"

"There is nothing wrong with my wardrobe" Videl said raising her voice.

"Yeh too you" Eraser said putting her hands on her hips. "Who has more fashion experience here?"

"That has nothing to do with it" videl shouted "I like my wardrobe just the way it is"

"Yeh well haven't you wondered why you haven't got a date yet?" Eraser said raising her voice to tower over Videl.

"I HAVE A DATE!!" Videl shouted as everyone stared, she lowered her voice. "In fact we're going out tonight aren't we Gohan!"

Everyone's attention turned from Videl to Gohan, who looked just as shocked as they did. "What The…?"

"Oh so your dates with Gohan" Eraser whispered "He looks about just as surprised as Sharpie"

"HEY IM NOT SURPRISED!!!" Sharpner shouted "I mean it's not like I like Videl or anything no way!"

Videl glared. "Alright I'll go shopping this afternoon just leave me alone, you better be coming Tiffany"

"Sorry" tiffany said apologetically "I can't im working your on your on Girl!"

Videl's attention faced Jo. "Not me um….Marker's taking me out to the movies this afternoon"

"I am Since when?" Marker asked as he walked up to the group and dropped Jo's books on the table infront of her.

"Since I said so" Jo said through her teeth whilst pulling an innocent smile. "Remember?"

"Oh yeh" Marker said scratching his head. "I still don't remember"

The girls all sweat dropped. "Oi!" Jo said "You are such an idiot"

Just then the bell rang. Each one of the group sighed. They all just loved school so much. Well all except Gohan, he actually did love school.

"Ok we'll meet here after school alright" Eraser said

"Yeh Yeh get off my back" Videl said walking off.

"Come on Gohan we got music" Tiffany answered as she turned to Jo who was giving Marker a goodbye kiss. "Oh come on you two it's only for an hour"

Jo pulled away and walked off with Tiffany and Gohan to their class.

Tiffany was setting up the microphone and guitars as Jo went through lyrics. Gohan sitting just watching carefully.

"WE need a new male singer" Jo whispered looking at Gohan

"How about Marker?" Gohan asked

"Ask Tiff bout that, she thinks I get too involved in my relationships" Jo said pouting "He's got a good voice on him too"

"Then who you wanna get then?" Gohan asked

"Jo can you come with me I gotta get some files from Mr Davis" Tiffany said, Jo nodded and both walked out.

Gohan watched after them until they were out of sight. He then picked up some the papers Jo dropped.

He read the lyrics and began to sing to himself softly.

'Talk to me, tell me, where you were (late last night),

You told me, with yer friends, hanging out (late last night),

You lying, cuz you stuttering, now where were you (late last night),

Stop lying to me, cuz you're ticking me off, see you're ticking me off, '

Meanwhile Tiffany and Jo had the folder in hand and were about to walk inside when they heard a small voice singing. Both made their way quietly to the classroom and looked through the door. Only to see Gohan singing slightly to himself.

They continued to watch as he picked up one of the guitars and began to play the tune whilst singing. He repeated the lyrics.

'Talk to me, tell me, where you were (late last night),

You told me, with yer friends, hanging out (late last night),

You lying, cuz you stuttering, now where were you (late last night),

Stop lying to me, cuz you're ticking me off, see you're ticking me off, '

Both walked into the room and clapped their hands. "Way to go!!"Jo said enthusiastically as the teen blushed.

"What are you blushing for that was really good" Tiffany said

"I don't normally sing with an audience" Gohan said quietly

"Awe" tiffany said "Can you do me a favor?"

"Depends"

"Well I've been trying to work out how to do these lyrics and I think you've helped me," she handed him a piece of paper. "Can you sing all the lyrics that I've hi lighted, in that order, Jo can you do the music please"

"Yes oh mighty Tiffany" jo said saluting her friend. Jo sat down and hooked two microphones up to the cd player.

"What are you doing with them?" Gohan asked

"We need to listen to how it sounds" tiffany answered handing Gohan a microphone. "Please"

"I guess…but im not that good" Gohan said reluctantly as Jo pressed play on the cd player.

Tiffany held the microphone to her mouth and began to sing.

"Time may take us apart, but I will still love you, I promise." She sang gently as she elbowed gohan, the two of them began to sing in harmony.

"And when the stars, stars are falling

I'll keep calling"

Jo was clapping in the background as the duo continued to sing.

I promise that you'll be my one, my only everything

I'll never be untrue

Tiffany sang sweetly yet maturely. She smiled as Gohan brought the microphone to his mouth to sing the next two lines.

And I promise that for all your love I will do anything

I will give you the stars, I will buy you the moon

Jo continued to clap and stopped the music. She rewound the tape and played. Tiffany had a broad smile on her face. Jo knew exactly what she was thinking.

Gohan however was majorly embaressed as the tape played back.

"Oh my God!! Gohan you have to join our band?!!!" she said excitedly.

Gohan just stared and hoped the bell would ring.

That Afternoon

Videl sat down outside the Orange star Fashions with a thickshake in hand. She wasn't too happy. One thing was she was shopping, the other thing was Eraser. When you went shopping with her, you had to go into every single shop.

And then buy at least one thing from every shop. And try on half a million outfits. Videl looked up when she heard a familiar voice.

"Come on Marker!!" Jo said as she pulled Marker along. Videl waved.

"JO!! MARKER!!!" Videl shouted. Jo walked over.

"We thought we'd come rescue you from Eraser, come on we'll go see Tiffany" Jo whispered

"How she's working?" Videl asked

"I'll show you" Jo said and pulled Videl and Marker off towards the local 'my-jikku' store.

Videl looked around and spotted Tiffany flirting with the customer at the counter. She sneaked up and began pulling faces, along with Jo and Marker. Tiffany kept trying to have a sane conversation whilst keeping a straight face.

"Same time next week" tiffany said

"Yeh sure bye" the guy said and left.

"So I thought you were shopping with Eraser" tiffany asked

"I was" Videl said "but Jo here…."

"VIDEL SATAN GET YOUR BUTT BACK HERE NOW!!!!" a voice snapped

"Oi!" Tiffany said "Not in the shop, please anything but that"

"How dare you leave me alone!! For that your gonna try on a lot more outfits"

Videl's head sunk into her shoulders. "what do I do to deserve this?" she asked herself.

Eraser grabbed her by her shirt. "Come on we're not done yet" and with that she pulled Videl into another shop, leaving Tiffany looking very embarrassed.

"Ok guys go do whatever im working alright" Tiffany said

Meanwhile

Gohan sat In the backyard with Goten. He tied his Gi up tightly and proceeded to begin his training with his younger brother.

"GOHAN!!!" he heard a voice snap. He looked voer to the other house to see Panna with her head out the window.

"Gohan?"

"Yes Mrs Satan!" Gohan said politely

"Do you know where Videl is?" Panna asked

"She went out shopping with Eraser" Gohan said walking over to the fence. Goten following.

"Oh God!" Panna whispered "Bet she's having fun"

"Yeh" gohan answered

"Would you get your mother to come over tommorow for a cup of coffee I need to talk to her"

"Ofcourse Mrs Satan" Gohan answered and waved his goodbye. He smirked to himself. "That shopping trip must be taking longer then expected"

"Can we train now?" Goten asked

"Yes Goten"

Meanwhile

Bulma stood outside the bathroom with her arms folded. She smirked. She knew it was mean but she just couldn't resist.

"I'm not coming out for you wretchered woman" Vegeta hollered "Not in this blasted fluffy contraption"

"Vegeta you lost the bet now you need to go to deliver the easter eggs to Gohan and Goten" Bulma hissed as Trunks walked up.

"Mom do you have the camera ready?" Trunks asked

"Yeh" Bulma answered "Now or your sleeping on the couch"

"FINE THEN BLASTED WOMAN!!" Vegeta ,hollered as he set foot out of the bathroom.

Bulma and Trunks couldn't do anything except laugh.

Gohan and Goten were sitting at the table and chairs in the front yard. AS they felt a ki get closer.

"It's Mr Vegeta" Goten said politely as a figure dropped to the ground. Both Gohan and Goten stared in shock. For their infront of them was Vegeta dressed up as the Easter Bunny holding two baskets full of chocolate.

"Take your blasted chocolate and don't tell a soul about this" Vegeta hollered

ChiChi came up behind her two sons with a camera. "SMILE!!!"

Vigeta groaned. "Things couldn't possibly get anyworse"

Okay that's it for this update I promise to try and update more often, but it's unlikely because my mother has such a negative thing towards writing whether it be stories, poetry etc.

Please review and let me know of any idea's that you come up with, and ebar in mind that all idea's will be taken into consideration.
