Bus Trip- Part 2

§±§±§±§±§±§±§

Gohan sat back in his seat. He just got word from the teacher on his bus that they were about halfway on their trip... Now, if Gohan flew all his way to the spot where the class was to have their trip, he would be there with in about an hour... so far, he had been stuck in this suffocating charter for about four hours. On top of almost becoming claustrophobic, he has officially become afraid of all the girls on his bus... um... excluding Erasa, and the guys were now starting to give Gohan evil glares. Of course, they were empty threats in Gohan's eyes...

Things were now becoming boring, that was until he felt a power level rise for a moment... Gohan could have sworn that that was Vegeta's! Looking over at Erasa for a moment, she got the message he was trying to silently give her, and she handed him her cell phone. As soon as this small device was handed to the saiyan, he immediately hit the button to send a new message, and he began to type furiously.

§±§±§

Videl felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Now at this moment, she was starting to doze off. Why was this awesome crime fighter falling asleep? She was bored, plain and simple. She looked to her side where Sharpener sat; rolling her eyes and crossing her arms Videl huffed. Sharpener was, yet again, asleep. She couldn't help but smirk as she glanced at his braided hair.

"He should have learned," started Trunks as he stopped in the isle glancing over the sleeping jock. "Braidy should know not to fall asleep when I'm around!"

Videl blinked as she glanced at the young child. "But... I thought it was Erasa and Goten who braided his hair, oh and put the make-up on him."

Trunks sent a Vegeta glare her way. "Well... I WOULD have helped, but I was helping you, dad, Gohan and his dad, and Mr. Piccolo fight against the villain! Anyways," Trunks crossed his arms. "I taught Goten all he knows about terrorizing people!" he exclaimed proudly.

Well, I don't think Trunks should have stated that statement so loudly. Videl turned her eyes to the side and noticed Bulma. I also think Trunks could have sensed the holes Bulma was glaring in the back of her son's head.

And yet, again, Videl's phone vibrated in her pocket. Shoving her hand in her pocket, Videl slowly took out her phone, and flipped the top. The female crime fighter raised an eyebrow when she read the first message.

(Is Vegeta spitting threats? Is he causing any trouble in your bus?)

Blinking for a second, she looked up and turned to various places before she noticed Vegeta standing with crossed arms... beside her father...? As if that was Vegeta's cue, he snorted as he turned around and headed back to his seat. That was when she turned back to looking at her father; a small orange flame was noticed in his hair that was until it started to spread.

"DAD!" shouted Videl, "You're hair is on fire!"

§±§±§

A few minutes later...

§±§±§

Gohan sat in his seat twiddling his thumbs. Erasa noticed the hybrid saiyan wince every few moments, so she tapped his arm. Worriedly, glancing at the blonde, Gohan winced yet again as he looked around the bus.

Erasa frowned, "What's wrong? And why are you wincing?"

That was when young Goten crawled from under the seats with a worried look. "Videl's ki is rising every so often! And so is unkie Veggie," he murmured as an after thought.

"Ki...?"

Erasa shook her head as she pulled out her phone. She began to type her message. She wasn't exactly sure what was happening, but she wanted to find out!

§±§±§

Videl felt the phone in her pocket vibrate yet again. Bringing down the fire extinguisher and setting it back in its place, she began to cough. Using her hand to move the choking fumes of the extinguisher, she stepped to her dad.

As she continued to wave smoke away, she noticed her father still in his seat. She couldn't help but smirk and stifle some laughter when she noticed his eyes as wide as saucers. His hands were also gripping the arm rails tightly; I think his hands almost broke the wood... or plastic of the arm rests? The last detail, which made Videl stifle her laughter, was where the white foam sat. Where her father sat, it almost looked like a blizzard hit full force! ALMOST.

Yet again, ignoring her phone, she walked up to her father's petrified figure and began to dust of the foam from his head. This time, she really burst out into laughter. It caught the attention of all those who didn't notice the fire extinguisher incident. Well... all but two people turned to Videl. The first person was Sharpener. He was still fast asleep. And the second person was the old bus driver, who seemed to be oblivious to all happenings in his bus. Pulling out her phone and flipping the top, she switched it from text mode to camera mode. Smirking once more, she snapped a picture.

§±§±§

Erasa felt her phone vibrate once more and she looked to the message. Gohan also turned his head, his worried expression still clearly written on his face as they read Videl's message.

(You guys have got to see the picture I took! And yes, it is Vegeta's going.)

Erasa blinked; Goten gave a relived sigh as the blonde female clicked the button to the picture sent. Now, Erasa's phone was top of the line so it was able to down load pictures and messages in a snap! So, when the phone downloaded, both Erasa and Gohan burst into laughter. Needless to say, it caught the attention of everyone on the bus.

Goten, watching the screen, placed his hands over his mouth as he began to giggle madly.

Gohan looked up, after he wiped the tears falling from his eyes, as he looked to the front.

"Dad! Mom! Krillin! Eighteen! Come here for a second!"

And with one more look at the picture, he and Erasa, along with Goten laughed again. This time, they laughed harder. As Goku and the group of chaperones came walking down the isle to the teens, they watched the three as they tried to calm down their laughter.

It didn't work so well.

Instead, Gohan handed Eighteen the phone, since she was the first one to make it over. She raised her eyebrow and glanced at the picture. She then began to laugh softly as she handed the phone to Krillin. That was when Goku and Chichi looked on. Both Z warriors began to laugh as hard as teens and chibi. Chichi, however, frowned as she stared at it, then crossed her arms.

"Hmph..."

And that was all the back haired woman replied; it was her only reply.

And calming his laughter, Gohan managed to say, "This is proof of... Vegeta's wrath!"

That comment brought another string of laughter from the Z warriors, Erasa, and Goten. And as usual, the student on the bus faced the small group of seven. Being the nosy high schooler's, they wanted to know what was funny! But the only explanation they received was from Chichi as she crossed her arms.

"You'll find out what these six hyenas find funny when we get to our destination."

And as if like magic, Chichi made a frying pan appear. How did she do it? No body knows...

"If any one of you asks me or one of the others back here what the laughter is about, you'll have your answer from THIS!"

Goku stopped his laughing immediately when the pan was brought out. Yet, this saiyan hoped to use an approach to get the pan away from his pan-hitting-happy wife. He wrapped his muscled arms around his wife's waist.

"Say, Chichi?"

She snapped her head towards him when he wrapped his arm around her. Chichi glared.

Trying his hardest to hide his fear, he placed a genuine smile on his lips. The he pushed his luck by trying to take the pan out of her hands.

"Why don't we calm down, and try to rest before-"

CLUNK

Goku fell over into the isle with big X's on his eyes as a HUGE bump began to form.

Chichi's glare darkened as she held the pan up ready to strike again. The students around watched in horror at this strange turn of events. Needless to say, they all clearly received the message this crazy woman was trying to give them.

Goten held his hands over the sides of his mouth as he whispered in his big brother's ear, "I thought mommy's pan was stolen by Videl!"

Gohan nodded to his brother quickly as he whispered back, "Videl did take it! But I'm assuming this one's from Bulma's home, or she might have bought a replacement..."

A shadow seemed to loom over the two brothers. Fear was clearly shown in both of their eyes; their doom was staring at them in the face, their pan crazy mother.

"What is this Gohan and Goten? Whispering, I see? You know my rule about whispering, and both of you know the consequences!"

Raising her pan, ready to strike once more, some quick thinking needed to be done. Who else could make good enough threats to his own mother?

Well... today was Gohan's lucky day, but with all of these students around, he was going to really embarrass himself.

"GRANDCHILDREN," that made Chichi pause as her eyes became filled with sparkles and a HUGE smile graced her face, "will NEVER happen if you continue to attack me, Goten, or dad with it!"

That comment made Gohan's mother gasp.

"You... you will not do such a THING!" shouted Chichi extremely horrified that her eldest son would even STATE such a thing! Of all the things in this world that are good!!!

Gohan crossed his arms with a smirk appearing. "If that pan comes out one more time to attack us, then my words about your grandchildren will come true because I will give you NONE."

Chichi's eyes widened as the handle of the pan slipped out of her hands. The pan itself fell to the ground...er... back into Goku's face. Needless to say... it left a red pan print on his face... Other than that, let's go back to the woman in horror. Then Chichi also fell to the ground as her legs gave out and she shoved her face into her hands. All in the bus heard a loud sob. Then Chichi began to fully fall into hysterics.

"Oh! My own family is against me! And with all I do at home to make sure you all-"

"Mom!" exclaimed Gohan as his cheeks began to become the brightest shade of pink from embarrassment. "You know we aren't against you!"

Chichi wiped her eyes before she glared to her oldest son. "Then why do you take away the only thing I can use to keep you three in line?! Now you and your father... and brother will be off on perilous journeys training and not come home for weeks at a time! Do you know how much I worry?! It's starting to give me gray hair and wrinkles!!!!"

She began to sob once more.

Gohan gave a small gulp as he rubbed her shoulder and he stated quiet enough for only her to hear.

"If you don't use the pan on us any more, as I have promise, you will get your grandchildren. If you wish, you'll have lots of them."

And almost immediately, the stars or sparkles came back into Chichi's eyes.

"Deal," she stated in a dead serious tone, "But make sure I get a grand child as soon as possible! I'm getting quite impatient!"

A few snickers were heard throughout the bus, and Gohan's cheeks began to burn even more. "Yeah..."

Sitting back in his seat he buried his head in his hands as he began to rub his temples. He was starting to get at really bad headache... He looked to Erasa and smiled in a guilty like fashion. "Could you do me a HUGE favor?" he asked her quietly. She looked to his distressed and pleading expression.

"Yeah, what do you want?" she asked him back quietly.

He rubbed the back of his head, "Is it okay with you... if I go to the other bus, and trade with Sharpner? I really need to get away from my mother..." both teens glanced to the starry eyed woman, "she's going to be the end of me before we get to the beach!"

Erasa gave a nod as soon as those words left his lips. "Yeah! Of course!" she 'whispered' back. "But how are we going to move you onto the other bus?" she asked softly.

Gohan smirked as he pulled something from his pocket.

"A scratch and sniff sticker will get you there?" asked Erasa blinking. Gohan shook his head as he scratched the sticker.

"No. Just watch," replied the male teen as he stood up, walked over to his dad, kneeled down, and stuck the sticker on his dad's shirt right under his nose. Now... we all know that saiyans have very sensitive senses... and with the scratch and sniff sticker right under Goku's nose... I think you get the picture.

And the moment the sent of chocolate cake hit his nose, Goku jumped up and looked around frantically looking for the tasty treat.

"Where is it?! Where is it?!?! WHERE IS IT?!?!?!!?!?" shouted Goku as he continued to sniff around for it. It was so close!!! But he couldn't find it!

"Dad!" exclaimed Gohan, as he held motioned for the older man to come over. Goku dashed over to Gohan and began to sniff all around for the dessert. "I can smell it! Where is it?!" shouted the saiyan as he began to salivate.

Gohan ripped the sticker from his father's gi, and he smirked at Erasa. "Works like a charm," muttered the teen as he looked to his father.

"Dad, I'll make sure you get all the chocolate cake you want once we get off this bus, but I need you to do me a HUGE favor."

Goku turned to his son, and grinned, "Sure! What's wrong son?"

The hybrid saiyan placed his mouth to his father's ear and whispered, "I need you to take me to the other bus. Mom is going to kill me by the time this bus trip is over!"

Goku laughed. "She won't kill you! Just become a Super Saiyan Two! I know you can survive that way!"

Gohan fell over anime style.

Erasa glanced down to the fallen Gohan then she looked up to the teen's father. It looked like she needed to explain a few things to the older man.

"Mr. Son," she started off as he looked to him seriously, "Gohan really needs to get over to the other bus."

Goku blinked as he looked to the other teen sitting on the row as Gohan. "Why is that?"

She began to whisper once more, "I think he really wants to go over there because... SHE's on the other bus." The blond female smirked, "Get my drift?"

Goku blinked, before he also gave a smirk and nodded, "I see..."

It was just at that time that Gohan was able to sit back in his seat. Looking to his father, he placed a pleading smile on his face. And Goku nodded as he quickly looked to his wife. She was still standing there with stars in her eyes. Goku smirked as he placed a hand on his son's shoulder and two fingers to his forehead. 'Be back,' mouthed Goku and he vanished from sight.

Little did they know they brought along an unknown traveler.

§±§±§

Videl sat in her seat as she continued to hear the rants of her father and how he lost his 'beautiful' hair. Great. Now she wouldn't hear the end of it... She sighed.

That was the instant Goku appeared into the bus, with Gohan at his side. Videl almost fell over... but she couldn't exactly do that... She was sitting down in a comfortable seat. So she almost shrieked. But Gohan prevented it when he placed a hand over her mouth. And lifting his hand away from her mouth he gave a guilty smile.

"I needed to get away from mom."

And those words alone made Videl nod. That excuse meant he was really desperate to get out of her clutches.

Videl looked to her side. Ramming her elbow into Sharpener's gut hard, she woke him up. Sharpener wasn't the least bit happy. But Videl leaned to him and whispered a few things before he nodded.

"Yeah, of course," he stated as he stood. Looking to Goku he gave a brief nod, Goku placed a hand on the blond male's shoulder and the two fingers' on his forehead. With that, the two vanished.

Gohan sat in the seat next to Videl and he closed his eyes. Videl looked to him with a small frown. "What happened?" she asked him. The female crime fighter also noticed Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, and Bulma looking at the two for some answers also.

Gohan chuckled, "Mom got on one of those rants about how my dad and I always run off into the wilderness to train and about grand children... once again." Gohan sighed. "I swear, every second she pressures me into that conversation."

Videl gave a small laugh as she removed the middle armrest so she could lean to Gohan, and lye on his shoulder.

Now, the one's of the Z team smiled when they saw this, even if it was the smallest tug on the lips. One other person also noticed it. Needless to say, he wasn't the least bit pleased.

"VIDEL!" exclaimed Mr. Satan as he stood from his seat and stormed over to the row his daughter was in. She lifted her eyes up, and she frowned.

"Yeah?" she asked back casually.

This made the martial artist's face became a BRIGHT red from anger. If he were saiyan, he would have turned SUPER! "Get you hands off of my daug-"

The last part couldn't have been stated when Hercule gave a silent scream at Goku's appearance in the bus. Ignoring the human beside him, the saiyan turned to Gohan.

"Son, have you seen your brother? I can't find him any where on the other bus," stated Goku scratching his head. Gohan looked up, and shrugged.

"I thought Goten went back under the chair to hide from the girls on the other bus," replied Gohan with a small frown. "That is unless-"

"DADDY!" exclaimed young Goten as he leaped from the baggage carrier on top and onto his father's head. Goku laughed as he grabbed his son's small body from his face, and brought him down onto his arms.

"And why did you escape to this bus?" questioned Goku as he eyed his youngest son.

The chibi looked up to his papa with his big, bright, innocent eyes. "I wanted to get away from the scary girls on the other bus..." And the father of the child muttered an 'Oh...' before he nodded.

"I see," Goku smiled, "Well then, if it's okay with Bulma, for you to stay, then you can stay. BUT don't you dare try and blow up the roof of this bus like you and Trunks did a few days ago," warned the saiyan.

Goten gave a small nod. "I promise that I won't cause harm to anyone on this bus!" And that satisfied Goku's trust as the warrior turned to Bulma.

"Is it alright if you watch over him for the remainder of the trip?" he questioned the scientist. Bulma gave a bright nod.

"Sure! He's always such an angel!" complemented the older woman with a smile.

Goku gave a nod as he smiled. He placed his youngest son in the arms of Videl. "I guess I'll see you all later at the beach!" And as Goku placed his fingers to his forehead he smiled, "Hi Mr. Satan!" he exclaimed as an after thought before he vanished once again.

Hercule's eyes turned to tiny dots as he watched the saiyan disappear. He gulped a few seconds later as he turned to face his daughter, and her boyfriend. But with out making any more fuss, he went back to his seat and stared straight ahead once he sat down.

Only one could question about his waning sanity...
