The Secret Project Chapter 15
Bulma looked at Trunks strange. "Trunks you know that father of yours he's always going off somewhere in the house."
"I just thought it was strange for him not to be in the gravity room or in the kitchen.
"Don't worry about Vegeta Trunks he can take care of himself." Said Goku. "See you later Trunks it's time for me to go."
"Catch you at school tomorrow, and take care of that head."
Gohan cracked a smile. "Yeah I'm hitting the sheets when I get home." Goku did his instant transmission and they were gone.
"Hey son you want to watch some TV together with little Trunks?"
"Thanks mom but I'm going to spend some time with Ami on the patio." Bulma smiled. "Ok son but don't stay out their too long theirs school tomorrow."
"Sure mom." Trunks left to go out on the patio.
--&--
Ami was out on the patio standing up against the railings watching the sunset, she thought about home and wished she could see her friends but she knew in her heart that wasn't going to happen.
Trunks came beside her. "Hey it looks nice doesn't it?" Smiled Trunks.
"Yeah the sunsets are real nice out here, reminds me of home a little."
"Do you miss being back home?"
"Yeah I do miss it but…what can I do… it's all gone now." She said sadly. Trunks touched her hand. "It's ok Ami to miss them, I know it's hard not having your family and friends around."
"Yeah I'm pretty sure you do have some idea." She smiled.
--&--
Goku walked in Gohans room. Hey son how are feeling?"
"Like someone took a baseball bat and hit me several times with it."
"Well I'm glad your not a full blooded human, cause you would be dead." Said Goku.
"I know." Said Gohan holding an ice pack up against his head.
"Well I brought you some sensu beans."
"Oh kool, I'm glad you did. Now I could go to sleep tonight."
"Is mom ok?"
"She'll live, she's just upset about you getting hurt. Actually you can't blame her, I get worried to, sometimes."
"I didn't really think you worried."
"Seeing you fall on the floor with blood running down your face sort of got me worried."
"If it wasn't for Bulma I'd be in the hospital."
"Well son I'll let you go to sleep, goodnight." Said Goku leaving out the room.
Gohan took the sensu beans and went to sleep.
--&--
The next day at Capsule Corp, everyone was getting ready to leave for school. "Mom, did dad show up last night?" Said Trunks walking in the kitchen.
"Yes he did son, he came to bed, LATE."
"Oh… ok, anyway I'm leaving for school see you later." Trunks kissed his mom and left.
--&--
Later that day at school Gohan was putting a few books in his backpack for homework when he closed the locker and got freaked out by Videl standing behind his locker door.
"Hey, what's up? I hope I didn't give you a heart attack?" She smiled.
He sighed. "Uh…not really I was just caught off guard."
"Are you up to anything?"
"Uh… yeah I'm busy with a lot of stuff this evening and homework to add."
"I thought you might have time to join me down the block for a slice of pizza." "You know that does sound good but with my busy schedule, I can't."
"Hey Gohan!" Shouted Serena coming to his locker.
"Hey Serena."
Videl looked at Serena like if she wanted to throw her across the room.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you but we better go, cause theirs a lot of work that has to be done." She said linking her arm with his. Gohan closed his locker. "We can talk later."
Serena turned to wave at Videl with a cruel smile as her and Gohan left out the door.
Videl was steaming mad. "The nerve of HER!"
--&--
Trunks, Ami, Gohan, and Serena got in the Capsule Corp copter and left. Ami sat in the front with Trunks who was driving.
"So are you going to work on the portal when you get to my house Gohan?" Said Trunks.
"Yeah, I really like to get started."
"So you think maybe me and you could spend some time hanging out?" Smiled Serena sliding close to Gohan.
"I don't know it all depends on how much work is left with working on the portal."
Serena folded her arms. "You made time for Videl."
"What is that suppose to mean?" Gohan said softly, looking at her.
"Well she asked you to help her and you did and you had to work on the portal that day."
Gohan sighed. "Serena listen, I'm sorry about the busy schedule, but the only reason I tutored Videl is because… she asked me more than once and I've always made excuses."
"Serena would you stop it with the jealousy it's not like Gohan is your husband."
Serena got mad. "What are you talking about, Ami! The last time me and Gohan spent time together was a week ago and maybe longer than that!" "Serena give me a break it's not like I'm lying to you about being busy!" Said Gohan.
"Aggh!" Serena slid back over and folded her arms. She looked at Gohan. "I guess we shouldn't see each other after that kind of remark!"
"Serena we haven't really started going out with each other or really haven't got that serious!"
"Your just full of it!" Yelled Serena.
The copter landed and Serena immediately jumped out and stormed in the house.
"Somebody is really angry." Said Trunks.
Gohan felt bad. "I wished she didn't feel so jealous."
"I'll talk to her." Said Ami.
Gohan sighed. "That's all I need, Serena on my conscious while I'm working on this portal."
"Listen Gohan don't worry about Serena she's just having a jealous moment."
They walked inside the house and were greeted by Bulma. "Hey guys, what's up with school?"
"Same as usual mom." Said Trunks.
"I guess somebody isn't having a good day." Said Bulma.
"Are you talking about Serena?" Said Ami.
"Yeah she said hi and stormed upstairs like if someone ticked her off."
"Me and Serena had an argument and she got mad at me for not spending time with her." Said Gohan.
"Oh wow, you thought she owned you with that fire in her eyes." Said Bulma.
Gohan sat down at the kitchen table. "I wish these girls give me a break sometimes they act like I have all this free time to spend with them."
"Don't you have time for girls?" Said Bulma.
"Actually I don't know. Between homework and school, I don't know if I have a life. Speaking of life my mom is always riding my back about getting a good education and studying she makes sure I don't have time for any relationships."
"Well I think your mom should lighten up and not be harsh it's not like you're a lazy bum and hated school and never wanted to do anything for your self." "Speaking of mom, can I use the phone Bulma to call her cause she got really upset about what happen yesterday and I wanted to tell her I'm ok." "Sure go right ahead." She said.
--&--
Ami change her clothes and was looking at her history homework when Serena came into the room. "The nerve of him spending time with other people and not me!" She fussed.
"Serena have a seat." She sat down on the bed. "Listen, I know you like Gohan and he's been real busy but give him a break!"
"Give him a break? He had the nerve to spend time with that nosy Videl and help her do her studies."
"Yeah but why get jealous when he probably likes you. Don't ruin the friendship you have with him over some girl."
"I hate to say it… but I do miss Darien when we went out he was such a sweet heart."
"Listen Serena, me and Trunks are good friends and I do like Trunks, and I am getting to know him, if we go beyond friendship then that's great. But, if not, well maybe I'll end up with someone else."
"I thought me and Gohan had something going?"
"I'm not saying you guys do or you don't but we do need to take it slow Serena, I think we sort of came off too fast with Trunks and Gohan.
Serena felt bad. "Maybe your right, but I do like Gohan I hope he feels the same way."
--&--
"The nerve of that girl!" Yelled Videl.
"Come on Erasa she suppose to be a friend or cousin to Gohan." Said Erasa brushing her hair in Videls bedroom mirror.
"She acted like his girlfriend, when she gave me that look leaving with Gohan. "She probably likes him."
"That's what it seems like." Said Videl.
"Well you can go out with other guys."
"I know Erasa but every time I go out with someone, they always are thinking about how rich I am."
"How do you know if Gohan doesn't think like that?"
"Erasa, that's the purpose to get to know him."
"Videl, Gohan, seems like a weakling and would probably run from a fight. He's a nerd!"
Videl gave her a mean look. "Erasa, I don't date nerds."
"Okay I know you don't but Sharpner is always saying he is."
"Sharpner says a whole lot of crap that doesn't make any sense." Videl said grabbing her bowl of cherries.
Erasa sat on the bed. "Don't you like guys that go to your dads dojo?"
"Those guys act like idiots."
"So what do you see in Gohan that is so-o attractive and to be honest, I don't see anything."
"I don't know, maybe, cause he's smart."
"I thought you didn't care about that?"
"Well it is interesting, sometimes." Videl smiled.
--&--
Later that evening Gohan and Bulma were trying the portal outside in the back of Capsule Corp, to see if it worked.
"Okay Bulma you don't mind if some of these flowers get sucked up do you?" "No I don't that's why were out here."
Gohan turned on the portal and they felt the suction pulling.
"Why don't we turn it up?" Said Bulma.
Gohan turned it up and almost all the plants got sucked in and some windows started to break on the back of her house. Gohan could feel the suction and they wasn't even in front of it. Gohan quickly turned it off. Bulma and Gohans hair was standing up cause of the wind and the strong suction.
"Whoa…that was close we almost took your windows." Said Gohan.
"This portal is strong and if we don't be careful will get sucked into ourselves." Said Bulma taking off her goggles.
"You are not kidding." Said Gohan seriously. "Well Bulma I'm giving this portal opener to you, cause I don't trust it in my house and I don't want my mom to get this."
"I'll put it in the lab, in the safe." She smiled. They both walked back in the lab and took off their lab coats and goggles. Gohan sat in the chair and rubbed his eyes. "I think it's time for me to go I have a headache and I got homework to do."
"Are you feeling better from yesterday?" Said Bulma walking over to look at his stitches on his head.
"Yeah, my dad gave me some sensu beans from last night. It's just that we've been working on this for three hours and I'm tired."
"Well, take it easy and those stitches do melt."
"I'm glad were done with that portal now, we can trap Dark Lord and his minions in it."
"I'm happy now everything is perfect." Smiled Bulma.
Trunks and Ami came in the lab. "So, how's the portal going?" Said Trunks. "It's finished!" Smiled Bulma.
"Oh this is great!" Said Ami.
"Now we can get those creeps and send them where they belong!" Said Trunks.
"Hey, why so quiet?" Said Ami looking at Gohan.
"He's just tired and not feeling well." Said Bulma sitting at her desk.
Gohan got up and got his backpack. "I'll catch you guys later." He said cracking a smile and waving to everyone, leaving out the room.
"Why don't you give him a ride home Trunks cause he is pretty tired." "Sure mom."
Trunks went out the room quickly and caught up with Gohan.
"Hey, let me take you home. You look pretty tired."
"I forgot about that. I was thinking of calling nimbus." "Hey that's ok let me get the copter and I'll see you out front."
"Ok." Said Gohan leaving out the front door.
Serena walked in the lab. "Hey guys, you finished working on the portal?" "Yes! We are all finished and all you guys have to do is catch Dark Lord." Said Bulma excited.
"Thank goodness! Now we can get rid of that troublemaker and get on with our happy lives!" Sounding excited.
"Well we need to get together and figure out how to draw Dark Lord toward the portal." Said Serena.
"Well maybe tomorrow with Gohans dad." Said Ami.
"Where's Gohan." Said Serena.
"He left and went home." Said Bulma.
"Went home? He didn't even say goodbye." Said Serena getting angry.
Ami looked at her. "Serena!"
"Serena, he was tired and not feeling well. He probably forgot." Said Bulma. "Yeah Serena they were working on the portal for a long time." Said Ami.
"I thought you were mad with him?" Said Bulma.
"I…I was. I mean, oh whatever!" She left out the room.
Bulma and Ami shrieked their shoulders at each other.
--&--
The next day at school Gohan was sitting in first hour class and Serena walked past him and said nothing. Gohan wondered what was her problem. Trunks and Ami said hi as they sat next to him. But Serena sat across the room.
"Is Serena ok?" Said Gohan.
"She's having one of her selfish fits cause she was upset that you left yesterday and didn't say goodbye." Said Ami.
"Oh darn, I'm sorry I was tired from working on the portal I didn't think about it."
"Well maybe you could talk to her later." Said Trunks.
"If she'll talk to me." Said Gohan.
Later on in the lunch Gohan, Trunks and Ami were sitting at the table.
"I wonder where's Serena?" Said Ami.
"Here she comes." Smiled Trunks.
"Maybe she'll come over after she gets her lunch." Said Ami.
Serena was on her way over and Videl bumped into by accident cause she wasn't looking.
"Hey, look where your going!" Yelled Serena.
" You should be the one watching." Videl looked hard at her.
"I don't know what your problem is but you have a serious one!" Said Serena.
"I think you need to take a look in a mirror and remind yourself that you're the one with the problem." She said sternly.
Serena went and put her tray down next to Ami trying to ignore Videl.
But Videl came up to the table and got in Serena's face.
"I don't know what is your problem but you act like I did something to you or are you mad that I spoke to Gohan."
Gohan covered his face. "I wish she didn't say that!"
"Listen you slut! You keep your eyes off of Gohan. I saw how the way you look at him!" Yelled Serena.
Videl stepped back. "Ok BLONDE I had enough of your crappy mouth! Let's go, right now!"
Serena stood up. "Okay then, bring it!"

Review please.
