Gohan was in a very good mood today. Gohan was in a very very very good mood today! With a little 'persuading', Hercule and Buu decided that they should really go on a week long cruise without Videl. And they had decided that Videl should have a 'friend' stay over so she's not all alone. So now Gohan was on his way to Videl's house to stay the week…all alone. (except for the servants but they don't count).
Now Ryoga was just leaving the empty office. He was on his way to Videl's house. He had an intricate plan on how to get Videl to dump Gohan. Now all he had to do was get to her house. Sounds simple right? But, (as all Ranma fans know) Ryoga has a horrible sense of direction….
Videl was also in a very good mood today. Staying at home alone all week, with Gohan. This would be a very very fun fun week! When the phone rang, Videl ran to answer it.
"Hello?" said Videl
"Videl? Is that you?" asked the voice on the phone
"Mom?"exclaimed Videl
"Oh Videl hunny, I haven't seen you in so long! I miss you so much! Are you busy tonight? I was wondering if you'd like to come have supper with me?"
"Well Mom, dad went on vacation for a week and my friend is staying with me, so I can come but my friend would have to come too,"said Videl
"Well Sure deary! Bring your friend! I can't wait to meet her, be here in 10 minutes honey!"
"Great mom! We'll be right there!" Videl said as she hung up the phone
'Gohan, is it okay if we're having supper at my mom's house?' thought Videl
'Of course, what's the address I'll meet you there' replied Gohan
'Well, It's the house with the orange room right beside orange star high,'
5 minutes later, Gohan and Videl were standing in front of Videl's mom's house. Videl rang the doorbell and the door swung open to reveal a plump smiling woman with curly red hair. She grabbed Videl and hugged her hard. After Videl had regained her breath, her mom reached out a hand a shook Gohan's hand. She seemed slightly surprised that he was male, but quickly regained her composture. Althought this man looked so farmiliar, and his name seemed to ring a bell somewhere…
"Please come in, she said, and call me Molly. Molly Chant,"
Videl, Gohan, and Molly sat down at Molly's cozy candle lit dining table. When they were all comfortably seated with food on their plates, Molly said mysteriously,
"Now, Videl, Gohan, I know you might not believe what I am about to say, and I am not only saying it because I don't like your father Videl. It is 100 percent true. Well, when your father went to the Cell games, he kept a small camera attached to his gi. Unlike the ZTV cameras, this camera got the whole thing on tape."
Gohan did NOT like where this conversation was going.
"And I happen to know for a fact that it wasn't Hercule Satan who defeated Cell. It was a little blond boy about the age of twelve. Unfortunately, I can't prove it, because the camera broke a long time ago. But you just have to believe me! I'm speaking the truth! Hercule is a liar! He's taking the credit for what this brave young boy did. And sadly, the boy's dad died while he was fighting Cell. It must be so hard on him."
At this moment, Videl was laughing really, really hard. She couldn't stop!
"Oh, Molly said sadly, you don't believe me do you."
Gohan looked very uncomfortable, and was blushing. Videl and Gohan were both silent for a moment, and then Videl spoke finally.
"Mom. Don't worry. I already know that Dad didn't defeat Cell. And you don't have to be sad. That boy's dad may have died, but he came back to life! He's alive now! They're all living happily together!"
Molly stared incredulously at her daughter. "But honey, how did you know this? I thought I was the only one who knew!"
Gohan spoke up, "Well you see Molly, that little boy…that's me."
Molly started at Gohan, "It was you! You're the boy who defeated Cell? How could it be YOU? You're hair's black!"
In response, Gohan went Super saiyan for a second. Molly fell back against her chair, "So it really is you! Wow….but don't you hate Hercule for him taking all your credit?"
"No, replied Gohan, I don't want people to know. My family and I don't want to be famous."
"Makes sense, replied Molly, now, let's get back to our meal!"
While Gohan, Videl, and Molly were eating peacefully, Goten and Trunks were doing something life-risking, less than one percent chance of survival…
"Trunks, are you sure Gohan won't see this?"
"Of course not Goten, he never reads the school paper!"
What were these young trouble makers doing you may ask? Well, on the front cover of Orange Star High School Paper was the picture of Gohan and Videl making out, captioned by the phrase, LOVE OF TWO TEENS.
Goten and Trunks flew off towards home with no idea of the horrors that lay ahead.
As for Ryoga…
I'm almost there! He thought. I'm sure of it! If he had looked behind him, he would have noticed the TENDO SUMMER SCHOOL FOUNDATION sign just a few feet behind him…
Okay the reason Gohan told Molly about Cell was because he wanted to make a good impression on his future mother in law.
Now…thank you thank you so so much for reviewing… stay tuned for the next chapter…Murder at Capsule Corp
