Chapter 12-

In Which Videl gets a bit of a shock, and Ryoga and Ryoko find themselves a bit preoccupied!

"Thanks Videl! I'm stuffed!" said Gohan happily

"Figures." Replied Videl, looking around the restautant. Everyone was staring at them. Videl could understand, seeing the amount of food Gohan had eaten. Let's just say her father wouldn't be too happy when he got his credit card bill…

When Videl and Gohan arrived back at the Satan Mansion, they found Erasa happily munching on pancakes, with a smiling Ryoko serving her. Videl blinked. Since when did Ryoko look so…happy?

Ryoko hummed. After Gohan and Videl had left, Ryoko had found Ryoga lying in a bush under Videl's window.

"Didn't work?" asked Ryoko

"Yup. Sure didn't," replied Ryoga

And at that moment, Ryoga looked at Ryoko, and really saw her! He realized how pretty she was, and how her face looked when she was smiling at him.

"You're really hot," he said, mesmerized

Ryoko blushed, "Well, you know, I really don't find myself that pretty, well not right now, when I put on 5 tons of makeup maybe, but only a little, I mean…" she trailed off

Ryoga pretty much shut her up then, and they spend the next hour or so making out.

Videl, Erasa and Gohan then had to decide what to do with their morning. Of course, Erasa was full of ideas.

"Let's go shopping!" the perky blond said

Videl and Gohan sweatdropped, "Yes, Erasa, great idea," they replied in a monotone

Bulma hung up the phone. Imagine, that little boy she had first met when Goku brought him over to the Kame house, had grown up so much! But she couldn't overcome herself with memories now. She and Chichi had a shopping date at the wedding department!

Gohan, Videl and Erasa got out of Videl's jet plane in front of Satan Mall. Erasa was overjoyed at the sight of her most favorite place in the entire world! Videl herself was a bit excited. She had caught site of the many stores that selled wedding dresses, and she found herself slipping into her favorite fantasy about her wedding with a certain half-saiyan.

"Hey Videl! Snap out of it! Where should we go first?" asked Erasa

"Hm? Oh, well hows about we go to…" Videl replied

"GREAT IDEA! The new woman's clothing store! Chezelle! It's SUPER HOT!" bubbled Erasa

Videl had seen the Chez Elle catalogue. They had some nice training clothing for women, and she was in need of a new gi. Gohan followed reluctantly. He had had enough of shopping for one lifetime. Chichi had made sure of that.

After a long shopping expedition, in which Gohan had realized that it was quite worthwhile to come shopping with Videl and Erasa. Seeing as he was the one to tell if an outfit looked good on Videl. All outfits picked out by Erasa of course.

Erasa stopped in front of a store which boasted a beautiful white wedding dress in the window. Erasa gazed at it for a while and turned to a furiously blushing Videl.

"Hey Videl, isn't that wedding dress pretty? Wouldn't you like to wear a dress like that at your wedding?I know! Let's go in a see what other nice wedding outfits they have!" And Erasa, not waiting for a response from Videl or Gohan (who both seemed a bit uncomfortable), she dragged them into the store.

Chichi and Bulma were looking at a piece of paper, and comparing it to a dress in front of them.

"Hey Chi, how did you get Videl's clothing sizes?" asked Bulma

"Oh well I was looking through Gohan's drawers and I found them of course!" replied Chichi

"He has her clothing sizes written down?" asked Bulma in disbeleive, "You son sure is great! Can you imagine Vegeta buying me clothing?"

Bulma and Chichi shared a laugh about Vegeta walking into a womans clothing store.

"Hmm, Chi do you think this would look good on Videl?" asked Bulma

"I don't know about that one, how about we keep looking?"

And that's just what they did. Until they were interrupted.

"Hey Chichi! Fancy seeing you here!" exclaimed Videl, upon the sight of seeing Chichi and Bulma in the same wedding dress shop as them

"VIDEL! What are you doing here?" Chichi and Bulma asked, glancing at Gohan.

Erasa answered, "Hello! We were just looking at pretty dresses that I liked, oh and may I ask who you are?"

Gohan quickly made the introductions. "Erasa, this is my mom and her friend Bulma. Bulma, mom, this is our friend Erasa."

"Ooooh," sqealed Erasa, "THE Bulma BRIEFS!"

Bulma smiled appreciatively, "Yup. That would be me!"

Erasa looked over at Videl who, while she was smiling, wasn't looking as excited as Erasa thought she would be.

"Hey Videl," she whispered, "It's Bulma! Aren't you excited?"

"Not really." Replied Videl, "I've seen her before,"

"So Gohan and Videl, asked Bulma and Chichi, "There's no real reason why you two are here of course?"

"Um..no..of course not! Why would you ask?" asked Gohan

Chichi grinned evilly, "Why just wondering Gohan,"

Gohan had had enough of his mom and Bulma's hints.

"Well, he said, it's getting late, how about we head back to Videl's house now?"

"Yes, great idea!" replied Videl, who had also had enough of Chichi and Bulma.

Chichi started after the kids as they walked off. "Gohan, you better hurry up, OR ELSE!"

Erasa started getting into Videl's jet plane, but stopped when she noticed that Gohan and Videl weren't following her.

"You go on Erasa. Gohan and I are going to take another way home," said Videl

"Are you sure?" asked Erasa

"Positive. We'll meet you back at my house," replied Gohan

As soon as Erasa was out of site, Gohan took Videl in his arms and brought her up high into the sky. Of course she could fly perfectly well herself, but it was more fun this way.

Videl laughed and looked down onto Satan City. It was so beautiful from high up. Everything was beautiful. Especially Gohan.

She turned her face towards her boyfriend/mate, and was surprised to see him opening a pretty little box.

"Videl," he asked, "Will you marry me?"

FINALLY! Chichi and Bulma are going to be happy with this. But…what if Videl says no? What will Hercule say? When will Erasa find out? Find out in the next action packed chapter of SAIYAPEOPLE!
