Shopping!

Her eyes shifted from one side of the room to the other. This was no ordinary sound... it sounded like... like... a heard of elephants stampeding down the halls! And being the risk taker she was, Videl walked into the hallways she just passed and noticed a large group of girls running to the end of the halls.

The crime-fighting female shrugged it off as she began walking towards the elevator once more. She really wanted to get some rest before they got something to eat, and then explore the town. Videl lost Erasa and Sharpener a ways back when she snuck into the weight room for a few moments. And when it was safe, she began to venture down the halls by herself. There were times she enjoyed to be alone.

"Where was it that the mob of girls ran to?" questioned the female softly as she noticed the elevator. She pushed the button to go 'up' and stood back to wait as the elevator came down. "It looked almost like they were heading to the pool..."

The door to an empty elevator was noticed and she walked inside. "There must be some really muscular guy at the pool to gain the attention of THAT many girls." She pressed the button to the top floor of the hotel and the doors began to close.

And as the doors were closing, a VERY strong wind was felt and Videl felt herself being 'smooshed' by a brick wall. She shut her eyes.

Videl began to feel the walls of her chest collapsing and her bosom being painfully compressed against this wall. About to give a cry before she realized a hand being shoved over her mouth. Her eyes immediately snapped open.

She frowned.

'GOHAN!'

The hybrid saiyan looked to her apologetically as he moved back. Only clad in his swim shorts he took his hand from her mouth. "Please don't scream... I don't think my ears can take any more torture... thanks to... THEM..."

'Them?'

Gohan nodded as he leaned against the side of the elevator. 'Trunks and Goten led the majority of the girls from our class to the pool... so they could maul me...' The male shivered.

'I never want to go through THAT again...' stated the saiyan through the bond.

Videl burst into laughter. So, HE was the one who the girls chased after. Poor innocent soul... he really didn't know what he was up against when a mob of girls would be after him. She looked over Gohan for a second before blushing brightly.

Muscular chest displayed.

Shirtless.

Only in swim trunks...

Still sopping wet from pool...

Videl closed her eyes and began to slap her face and head over and over again as thoughts entered her head. Erm... very BAD thoughts... And since Videl and Gohan were sharing a bond, the hybrid saiyan male could see every thought that was entering her mind. He could now understand WHY she was attacking herself.

He too had a small blush on his face. The thing's she was thinking of would be in a rated R story... not a PG 13. But the female beside him was now slamming her head into the metal wall of the elevator.

'Sorry...' muttered Videl in the bond as she turned around and rubbed the now bruised skin.

Gohan softly chuckled as he placed his fingers on her forehead and gently rubbed the bruise. "I think it should almost be common for us... since we are partially married under saiyan laws."

Videl lifted her eyes and slightly smiled at her friend and for the disappearing ache in the wound she gave herself. "What would be the last part that would consider us 'fully' married under these laws? I just might be crazy enough to follow them."

Gohan slightly laughed as he took his hand off from the female's forehead. The bruise was now gone. "Well... I don't know all details, but I do know that there has to be some kind of mark made for a scar to be created." Gohan placed a finger on his chin as he leaned against the opposite wall of the elevator. He ignored the coldness of the metal against his skin. "I've also heard from Vegeta that there needs to be some type of exchanging of blood..."

"Sounds painful," muttered Videl as she also leaned back against the wall of the transportation device.

Gohan nodded, "I guess it should for humans... but to saiyans, a small cut is nothing. Usually our tough skin repels the small gouges." The saiyan shrugged.

Videl nodded slowly as if trying to fully understand what this all meant... anyways, the elevator stopped and opened at their floor.

But... as they exited the door, they noticed two women... A.K.A Bulma and Chichi taking to Erasa. And when the teen couple made it out, the two ladies turned and squealed as they ran to Videl.

"Oh Videl! I'm so sorry that you have to wear something as THIS every day!" exclaimed Bulma almost in hysterics.

"Wear what?" questioned the female crime-fighter as she raised an eyebrow.

"These... baggy clothes!" exclaimed Chichi as she scanned over the petite female. The mother of Gohan shook her head in a disapproving manner.

Videl frowned lightly as she backed away from the two women in hysterics. "I like my clothes, thank you very much!"

Bulma turned to Chichi worriedly, "Gohan must be rubbing off on her. There is no way that a female with THIS kind of a figure dares to hide it under loose clothing."

Videl's face became red, "EXCUSE ME!"

"I totally agree," replied back Chichi as she ignored Videl's comment. "I think she might need a new wardrobe."

Videl's eyes widened to the size of saucers. She then quickly backed up as FAR as she could... which was a wall and she seemed to cling to it as that 'forbidden word' in her vocabulary was stated.

That action alone brought them out of their chat to look to the black locked female. "Is there something wrong?" questioned Bulma tilting her head to the side.

Videl gave a curt nod. "You said the 'W' word!" She turned her head up to the side to look away from the women, "I DESPISE the 'W' word!"

"And that would be...?" questioned Chichi as she worriedly looked to her daughter-to-be.

"Wardrobe," replied Erasa off to the side as she smiled to her best friend. "You know... I think it's about time that you get some new clothes. I think the last time you bought something new to wear... was about two years ago."

Two loud gasps were heard.

The horror filled expressions of Bulma and Chichi were noticed as they dumbly stared at Videl.

"You... Satan Videl... have not gotten anything NEW in TWO YEARS!" questioned Bulma frantically .

Videl was no longer trying to blend in with the wall... instead, she was leaning against it casually; she shrugged, "I usually crime fight. What's the use in buying something new when you'll ruin it while fighting against criminals?"

Chichi and Bulma stared at the human.

Videl looked to both of them.

That stare... Videl began to feel sick at the pit of her stomach.

She didn't like the look they were giving her.

¦±¦

"THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL I'M GOING IN THAT STORE!" shouted Videl, her face becoming red from anger.

Somehow... or another... Videl was talked into going to the mall with Bulma, Chichi, and Erasa. Gohan was also tagging along. The saiyan didn't want to be any where away from Videl when the mob of girls was on his tail. Gohan just wished that they wouldn't be giving him nightmares.

The first store they entered, Gohan noticed Videl's face change from a healthy pink to a pale while. In the bond she continuously stated, "Oh shit... oh no... holy crap..."

Why was Videl so nervous about going to the mall?

The saiyan looked down to the paranoid crime fighter.

"Are you okay, Videl?" he softly asked her in her ear.

She jumped about a mile when her boyfriend's breath tickled her ear.

He just blinked as he watched her.

"Are... you okay Videl?"

The girl looked to the boy. She glared, "Just peachy."

He frowned, 'What's wrong?' he asked her in the bond.

She just glared back at him before she turned back to the store.

She didn't like this store... it was big... it was pink... it had girl stuff... Videl's face became more pale as she noticed the makeup kits around decorating the walls of the store and bright colorful dresses hanging up on racks ready for ladies to take their pick and purchase.

Videl hated malls with a passion.

"Sheesh... this place would be torture for a guy if they had to shop here for something they wanted..." he muttered softly.

Videl nodded, "Yeah, I don't want to be here also! But mom 1 and mom 2 dragged me in here!" Her eyes became all big with forming tears, "Would you come with me? I need to escape from this... brightness..."

Gohan nodded quickly. "YOU think its torture to walk in there. There HAS to be rule against men going in there!"

"There has to be a rule against ME going in there!" exclaimed Videl. And looking both ways, she noted the coast was clear. "Let's go!"

As the two teens 'sneaked' away from the store and headed to the entrance something like sirens began to go off. Both Gohan and Videl needed to shield their ears as tightly as they could.

"There they are!" exclaimed Bulma as she pointed over to the teens.

Both Gohan and Videl looked up when they noticed two officers coming up to them all-stern like. Both teens looked to the mob of people rushing down the ways of the mall. Both send their silent prayers as they ran into the rush of people, and soon finding liberty once they were able to hide amongst the people. They went down the paths of the people loosing sight of the three shop crazy women.

Finally they were free of their bondage!

But...

Now they were lost...

Warning: I will be ranting later on in this longer than usual note.

Not exactly what I could consider the longest chapter... I had part of this typed earlier... and I came home late today... I am half asleep... maybe 4/5ths asleep so I apologize if there is any part that doesn't exactly make any sense... or if it gets dry later on at the end... I'll try and make the next chapter a bit better... but when I reach spring break. I'll also be updating my other unfinished fics then. I also encourage you all to check out my other works. Some of them have had positive comments even though I have just started them; I would greatly appreciate it!

Please send your comments down below. Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome... I just have to state though... that I intend to keep this fic at a PG 13 rating. I will not be putting any... Gohan/Videl 'bed' scenes in it... if you catch my drift... If they do end up sleeping in the same area together it's completely INNOCENT. So don't expect to see... or read any kind of… lemons... because I refuse to write them. To be completely honest, I think the person who invented the 'lemon' writing should be SHOT. Again... that's my own opinion because I don't appreciate that kind of writing AND I don't wanna loose any more brain cells than I HAVE TO!

As you can see... I am very... what's the word... moody. It's rare to see me like this actually... and I apologize ahead of time if I offend you. But right now... I have had just about enough of everything because I literally have no life thanks to school. I will be the happiest person when I get out for the summer. Oh well... I guess the little patience I do have will be tested...
