-----Chapter Five

Gohan landed just right in front of the front door to his house. He looked around. The whole place was quiet. Shrugging, he entered the house.

"Mom? Goten?" he called out as he walked to his room. "Is anyone home?"

He checked all the bedrooms before giving up and retiring to his room. He sighed happily as he lay on his bed, enjoying the peace and quiet. His happiness was short lived when he heard Trunks and Goten's voices just outside his door.

"But Trunks, what if someone goes looking for him," Gohan heard Goten ask. He didn't mean to listen in but curiosity got the best of him.

"If he wants that car, he'll make up a good excuse. Anyways, we only need him for a little while," Trunks replied.

"I don't know Trunks, I have a bad feeling about this."

"Don't worry Goten. This plan is foolproof!"

"What's that mean?" Goten scratched his head.

"It means nothing can go wrong."

Gohan finally decided to step out and confront the two children.

"What plan?" Gohan asked. He eyed them suspiciously.

"Just a plan we're developing," Trunks said sound very matter of fact like.

"And what is this plan for? You guys aren't behind the whole Videl having a secret admirer thing are you?"

"Videl has a secret admirer?" Goten asked in genuine surprise.

"What's a secret admirer?" Trunks asked tilting his head to one side.

Gohan stared at the two confused saiyans, his eyes wide and twitching. Did they really have no clue? Did Videl really have a secret admirer?

"Uh… Never mind then," Gohan replied. "I guess I misunderstood… So what plan are you developing?"

"Just a plan," Trunks shrugged. "Nothing you'd want to know."

"If I didn't want to know, Trunks, I wouldn't be asking. So then who's this guy you keep talking about? And someone getting a car?" Gohan asked eyeing them suspiciously again.

The two looked at each other before looking back at Gohan.

"We were talking about Chobi," Goten blurted out.

Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Chobi wants a car?"

"Not a real one," Trunks explained. "A toy car! See, were promised Chobi we'd give him a toy car if he learned this trick for us."

"What trick?"

"To be able to uh… Balance… A… Um, a book! On, his um… Tail!" Goten replied. "It's just for a little bit and fun you know."

Gohan didn't seem convinced but kids were always doing weird things. He decided to let it go. He had other things to worry about. Like finding out who Videl's secret admirer was.

-----

Zack stared at the letter Trunks handed to him. He'd never read such a cheesy ridiculous letter in his whole life. He pinched himself to see if he was dreaming. It hurt. Zack stared at the boys seated on the sofa in the small cottage. Were they serious?

"You guys really don't want me to write this, do you," Zack asked.

"Why not?" they replied.

"It isn't exactly… It's kind of—It's too stupid! She'll never believe this or take it seriously, whoever she is," Zack explained.

"It worked last time," Goten shot back.

"Well if you keep it up, it won't work. It's too mushy."

"But my mom, said the mushier the better," Trunks scowled. "Are you insulting my mom?"

"Look kid, I'm sure your mom is great but in this century, subtlety is the key."

Trunks and Goten crossed their arms across their chests. "Well if you're so good, you write one!" they pouted.

Zack smirked. "Watch and learn."

-----

"Ah ha! I knew it was you—Erasa?"

Gohan stared at the blonde in shock. He'd been waiting for Videl's secret admirer by the corner. Of course, he couldn't see who it was so when he heard the locker opening, he'd jumped out from his spot. He was very much mistaken though.

"Gohan… What are you doing?" she questioned him, her eyes twinkling again.

"Nothing," the saiyan replied a little too quickly. "What are you doing?"

"Getting stuff out from Videl's locker… You weren't waiting for Videl's secret admirer, were you," she giggled.

"No! Of course not! Why would I? It's just really stupid! Erasa don't be stupid." Gohan replied nervously. "I was just uh… Um…"

"Exactly. Admit it," she poked him on the stomach.

"Admit what? There's nothing to admit! Nothing to admit at all," he said hurriedly. "I was just standing here! Really I was! Oh gee, look at the time. I have to go! Bye!" letting out a sigh of relief, he took off running.

-----

Zack blinked several times as he read whom the letter was for.

"Videl Satan? You mean to tell me you're sending love letters to the Videl Satan," he asked the two kids who were jumping up and down on the sofa.

"Yeah," they replied.

"You've got to be out of your mind!"

"My brother likes her. He doesn't say it but we know he does," Goten chirped. He did a back flip in the air.

"If she finds out, she'll kill us all!"

Trunks shook his head, wagging his finger at Zack. "Correction. She'll kill you. Hee."

"Oh man…"

"You can't back out now!" Trunks glared waving the capsule in his face.

Sighing, Zack continued to work on the letter.

-----

"Erasa! Erasa, I got another one," Videl exclaimed running to her friend.

It was the next day and Videl had found the envelope posted on her locker. Normally, she wouldn't have picked it up but she was so curious to read it. Erasa and Gohan were sitting underneath a tree studying when she found them.

"Another letter?" Erasa asked as she took it from her and looked at Gohan. She winked at him before reading it. "My dearest Videl, I apologize for not writing to you sooner. As to why, you don't need to know. What you do need to know is that you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

"You don't really believe that do you," Gohan asked his eyes were wide. "Not that you're not beautiful Videl, I mean you're very beautiful don't get me wrong and I don't—"

"Shush you," Erasa giggled and continued to read on. "It's been hard for me to be so away from you. It's unbearable for me that you have no idea who—"

"I don't like you or anything—" Gohan continued to ramble on.

"Gohan! Shut up!" Videl glared. "Go on Erasa."

"—Who I am. I wish I could just tell you so we can be together, but I must wait till the moment is right. I can only hope for you to stay true. You are the only one for me. Loving you more with every beat of my heart, your secret admirer."

The two girls let out sighs with dreamy looks on their faces. Gohan couldn't stand it and he hated the fact that he was letting it bother him.

"He seems very nice," Erasa smiled, "I'm jealous."

"He's a weirdo!" Gohan sputtered. "He's like… Stalking you!"

"I'd let him stalk me any day," Videl smiled.

Gohan couldn't believe his ears. "Have you gone insane! Are you ill?"

"No. Why?"

"You're not acting like Videl. You're acting like a… A GIRL!"

Videl glared. "Unless you haven't noticed Gohan, I AM a girl!"

Not able to stand everything, Gohan got up and stormed off.

"Where are you going?" Erasa called out after him.

To find this guy once and for all, Gohan thought but didn't answer her. I'll do whatever it takes!
