Chapter Five: Partners In Crime



As sunlight filtered through the room, Videl stretched on her bed. Sitting up, she glanced at the clock. It was 8:35 am. *Guess I should get up and eat some breakfast. * As she opened her door, she smelled a delectable odor. *Yum. * Walking down the hallway, she turned into the kitchen. There, she found Trunks sitting at the table, wolfing down a HUGE stack of pancakes that Chichi was adding to every couple of minutes.

"Hey Videl. Would you like something to eat?" Chichi said, as she turned back to the stove.

"Yeah, thanks Chichi. That would be great." Videl smiled at Trunks as she grabbed a plate from the cupboard. Sitting across from him so she wouldn't get in the way of all the food, she grabbed a couple pieces of bacon. Chichi came over a slipped a modest stack of pancakes onto her plate. Grabbing the syrup, Videl doused the pancakes and took a big bite. *Oh, these are too good to be true. *

"Morning Videl." Trunks said, taking a break from his own stack of pancakes.

"Morning Trunks." Videl answered, after taking her second bite. "So, what do you have planned for today?"

"Actually, I was wondering if you want to hang out, so we can get to know each other better. It might be fun."

"Ok, sure. But I should probably get dressed first." Videl answered, looking down at her sleepwear. Soft fuzzy blue flannel pants hung down low on her small frame. A pink flowered tank top and a matching fuzzy blue flannel long-sleeved top that hung open completed the ensemble. 1

Trunks laughed. "Yeah, me too. I doubt they'd let me in anywhere."

"Well, then it's settled. I'm gonna go get ready. See you in twenty minutes." Videl said, as she left the table.

Trunks sighed. He looked down at his plate, still covered in pancakes. *Oh well. * He then grabbed his plate and swallowed the rest of the stack whole. "Better go get ready." He said, as he also went to get ready. Chichi looked at the young Saiyan, her eyebrow twitching as a big sweatdrop hung on her head.

*Saiyans and their damn appetites. At least I only have to deal with one for a while. * Sighing, she turned to all the dishes she had to do. Mounds greeted her. Sighing once more with gusto, she began to tackle the dishes.

1.1 FOURTY MINUTES LATER

Videl walked out of her room. She was running a little late. It had taken her longer than usual to get ready. Her footsteps were quiet as she walked down the hall. She was still trying to get used to her new look. While in New York, she had made some friends that had thrown out her favorite old white t-shirts and black shorts. Now she was wearing simple blue jeans, plain white sneakers, and a black shirt that had a white airbrushed picture of the Eiffel Tower. Her hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail. Saying good-bye to Chichi while she slipped on her leather jacket, she walked into the backyard where she found Trunks.

He also had gone for a more casual look. He wore black jeans and a white t- shirt with his Capsule Corp. jacket. Turning around, he spotted Videl walking out the door. Smiling, he walked over to her.

"Hey, I was thinking, why don't we just go get some ice cream and talk? That way we can get to know each other and enjoy yummy frozen goodies."

Videl giggled. "Sure, sounds good to me." Both of them turning toward the street, they began walking to the nearest ice cream shop. As "Betty's House O' Ice Cream" came into view, they began to walk a little faster. Entering the store, Trunks and Videl walked right up to the counter. *Hmmm, what do I want? * Trunks thought as he stared at the numerous flavors.

"Hey, Videl. Why don't we take the ice cream home to the backyard so we can talk without the hassles of being in public?" Trunks asked, turning to the young girl. She pondered the question.

"Yeah, it probably would be a good idea. That way, we can actually talk." Turning to the girl behind the counter, she said, "I'd like a hot fudge peanut butter sundae with Moosetracks ice cream."

Trunks then gave the girl his order. "I'd like a triple-decker banana split. Both of ours are to go." The girl's eyes bugged out at Trunks's order, but she turned and began to make their desserts.

Fifteen minutes later, Trunks and Videl walked into the Capsule Corp. backyard carrying their delectable yummy treats. Sitting down on a bench, Trunks attacked the banana split he was carrying. Videl looked on with wonder. *I still can't get over how those Saiyans eat. * She thought, turning to her own sundae. Fifteen minutes later, both of them were done with their treats.

"So…" They both began to say. Laughing, Trunks decided to start the conversation.

"So, how long have you known the Sons and my family?"

"I met Gohan in school almost two years ago. I first thought he was just a nerd, but when I found out he was Saiyaman, I decided to rethink my opinion a little. I met your family through Gohan and really got to know them through the whole Buu incident."

"What is the deal between you and Gohan anyway? The way Chichi talks you two are practically married already."

Videl laughed. "Ever since I started becoming friends with Gohan, Chichi has had fantasies of grandchildren. But, nothing really serious ever happened between Gohan and me."

Trunks eyed her cautiously. He decided to proceed with caution. He had a couple stories of her feisty attitude from his mother. "Did you ever want something serious to happen?"

Videl sighed. She walked over to the swing-set that was set up by the fence. Sitting down onto one of the seats, she began to push. "Yeah. But right after Buu, I went to New York with my dad. And nothing ever happened. I don't even know if he feels the same way about me."

Trunks grinned. Going over to the empty seat next to her he also began to swing. "I don't think that's a problem."

"What do you mean?" Videl asked, turning to the Saiyan.

"Well, from what my mom and Chichi have told me, Gohan still likes you but is just too shy to do anything."

"Well, how is that going to help me if he won't make a move?!" Videl yelled, turning once again to Trunks

"What's one thing that will get a guy's blood pumping and get him impulsive enough to do almost anything?"

"Um, for you Saiyans it would probably be food."

Trunks looked at her disbelieving. "Oookay. What I meant was jealousy. Jealousy will get any guy up and moving to defend his territory, which in this case would be you."

Bypassing the "territory" remark, Videl thought over his plan. *This might actually work. * "So, how would we use jealously to get Gohan to get his butt in gear? Who would we use to make Gohan jealous?"

Trunks grinned. His plan was foolproof. "Me."

"You?!" Videl remarked, her face falling into an expression of shock. "Why the hell are you volunteering?

Trunks smirked a very Vegeta-like smirk. "Because it will be a week or two before Gohan and the others return from camping. A week or two that we can use to get "close". Plus, with Chichi and my mother being the gossips they are, Gohan and the others will probably hear about us spending so much time with each other. We'll just be friends of course, and not even act all lovey-dovey, but it might just be enough to get Gohan moving."

Videl smirked right back at him. "You know what Trunks? You are getting more and more like Vegeta with that calculating evil plan you just thought of. I like it."

"Thank you." Trunks replied, getting up from the swing and making a grand sweeping bow. Laughing, he grabbed Videl's hand and pulled her out of the seat. "I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship Ms. Satan."

"I would have to agree with you Mr. Briefs." Videl answered as they walked into Capsule Corporation. *This has to work. I really like Gohan and I want him to know without feeling like a complete idiot. This just HAS to work. *



::~:: Well! What did y'all think about that? Now we know it's going to be a G/V. Or is it? Does Trunks have his own plan up his sleeve to snag Videl? Or is this just the rantings of a delusional author? Find out next time on: The Wacky Story of Videl and Gohan! ^_^
