"Triple Threat"
Chapter 3: "Lunch with the Family"
You could hear Chichi saying to Gohan, "Get ready, Gohan! You, too, Goten!"
"Mom, it's just Videl. She wants to meet my family. Oh, and don't mention anything about-"
The sound of Videl's jetcoptor interrupted him. Videl stepped out and the first thing she said was, "Wow, Gohan. I didn't expect your house to be in the middle of nowhere."
Chichi said, "So, this is your future wife!"
"Mom! She's not my girlfriend!"
"Of course, dear. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Some friends are coming over."
"You mean-"
"It's just Bulma, Krillin, and Yamcha."
Gohan groaned. The thought of Krillin coming with Videl in the middle was not good.
When they went inside, Gohan did it as fast as he could. He flipped the photographs of the Cell games, him and Goten as Super Saiyans and other photos of that sort, face down. He had to do that in a manner so Videl wouldn't be suspicious.
Krillin came up behind him, "So, Gohan, you finally got yourself a girlfriend?"
"She is not my girlfriend!"
-a few minutes later-
"Mom, you didn't have to..." Gohan said, looking at the table full of food.
"Of course I did, Gohan. I've got to celebrate."
"Celebrate what?"
"You getting a girlfriend! What else?"
Gohan sighed. It was useless.
Videl stared at Gohan and Goten eat their own turkeys whole and spit the bones out.
Chichi was angry, "Boys! You don't need to eat like you normally do! We have a guest!"
Gohan looked at the stunned Videl and blushed, "Oh, I forgot she was here..." He laughed nervously.
"Saiyans and their appetites..." Chichi commented.
"Mom!"
Videl almost choked on her corn before swallowing it. Saiyan! There's that word again! What's up with you, Gohan?
Gohan pushed his mother into the next room, "Mom, I haven't told Videl anything. And remember when I met that Saiyan at the bank robbery? Videl heard him call Saiyaman a saiyan! Can you please not say anything?"
"Oh, Gohan, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'll not mention it again. And I'll spread the word."
"Thanks, mom."
They both walked back into the room with the others.
Videl was looking - or rather glaring- at Gohan, "Gohan, why didn't you tell me you were Saiyaman's cousin?"
Cousin! Gohan thought.
From across the table, Bulma winked and nodded.
"Uh, yeah. I'm his cousin!" Gohan laughed nervously.
-a few hours later-
Lunch was over. The table was cleaned. Videl was walking towards the photos that Gohan had flipped over earlier. Wonder why they're flipped over... She was flipping the frame upwards when Yamcha stopped her, "So, Videl, are you single?"
"Huh?" Videl asked, "Single?" The first person she thought of was Gohan. Gohan... Are we considered together? Then she thought of how he hadn't told he he was related to Saiyaman. No... If he cared for me like that, he would have told me. "No, Yamcha. I'm free."
"Great, so how about tonight?
Videl nodded, "Sure. Pick me up at seven."
Yamcha blushed and smiled. He exited the room. Oh, man. I didn't even think about Gohan! But she agreed and said she was single, so it's fine...
Yamcha felt pretty good about himself. He got a date with a good-looking girl. He just hoped Gohan wouldn't be too mad.
-later that day-
"Gohan, do you know how to fly like Saiyaman?" Videl asked him.
He nodded, "My... cousin taught me years ago."
"Great, can you teach me?"
"It's kind of complicated."
"So? I'm the daughter of the world champion. I'll do fine."
Gohan sighed and finally gave in. "Alright. You win. First, you..."
-an hour and an half later-
And in no time, an hour and a half later went by. Videl had learned to fly.
"Good, Videl. Now all you need to do is practice so you can fly faster."
Videl nodded appreciatively. "Thanks, Gohan! See you at school on Monday!"
-in the sky-
Videl was in her jetcoptor, flying home to prepare herself for her date, "I can atleast impress Yamcha with my flying ability. I'll go home and practice."
-at Gohan's house-
And back at Gohan's house, it was quiet. The crickets were chirping, the wind was blowing. It was quiet all around except for when Gohan shouted, "You're going out on a date with Videl... tonight?"
Yes, I know that I said this fic will be a Gohan/Videl one, but I have to put in this one date with Yamcha. It ties in with how the plot happens. But, you have to remember, Videl does not like Yamcha. Thank you! Review!
Saiyan God: Sorry! I didn't intend for it to sound like that. I intended it to sound as if I wasn't going to post the next chapter tomorrow, not at all! Thanks for reviwing!
