Finally, I'm back!

"Back from where?" you may ask. I went to Europe for 20 days! YAY! To get some of the stupid quotes from my trip, read my profile! Most of them are hilarious…the rest are a little stupid unless you know what was going on.

Oh, and about the babysitter, it is really easy to find out…I'll give you a hint: I REALLY don't like this character!

Disclaimer: I own very few things, and I don't see anywhere on that list DBZ. If you want to, you can look for yourself hands reader a note of all her possessions. Do you see anything? I don't think so. But, I do know that the owner wouldn't really mind me writing this, because if he or she (I don't know….) didn't, then it would be illegal to post DBZ related stories on the Internet. Please, don't sue.

Well, here you go:

Chapter 11: Punishments are evil

That night, Gohan decided to call Videl to ask about how bad she was hurt. He dialed her personal number, and waited for her to pick up, but somehow, she wasn't there, and her dad picked up.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Hercule asked.

"I'm Gohan Son, a friend of Videl's. I just want to know how she is doing."

"Well, she is fine, except for the fact that she is weak. She isn't taking any calls for the rest of the week as punishment for being so weak."

"Well, at least tell her that…"

"And, don't go thinking I'm her secretary, either. It is her fault that she disgraced the Satan name. She needs to learn her place and become strong like me."

"Well, I'm sure that she is trying to the best of her ability. She is strong, though, and you should give her credit for that."

"Yeah, well, I beat the robot in no time at all. That should tell you something about the strength of my daughter."

"That may be true, but I work at Capsule Corp., and I found out that Bulma's son, Trunks, played a trick on one of the robots, making it stronger than the others. He also distinctly told me that he pushed the button to turn off the super strength right before you began, giving it enough time to power down for you. I'm sorry to say this, but had you fought it at the power Videl did, you would be in big trouble right now!"

"I DON'T NEED SOME SMART MOUTHED KID TELLING ME OF MY WEAKNESSES! GOOD-BYE, AND GOOD RIDDANCE!" and with that, he hung up.

'Well, that went well, I guess…' Gohan thought as he put down the receiver and went to sleep.

Meanwhile:

Hercule had just hung up the phone, as angry as anyone could be. 'What does that brat know? I fought that robot and won, and Videl couldn't beat it. It was no different than the others. That boy didn't know what he was talking about. Yeah, that's it. He was trying to save Videl. Though that is noble, saying that I, Hercule Satan, am weak is not the way to save her.'

He walked to her room, where she was crying on her bed, but he didn't know that. The second the door started opening, she stopped and made it look like she was sleeping. He scanned the room as he walked in, glad that his servants had successfully removed all traces of entertainment from the confines of the room.

((I have never seen her room, so if I get it wrong, I am just making this up. Sorry if this confuses anybody. This is how I see her room.))

The bed was against the left wall, with her nightstand next to it. The place on it where her phone used to sit was now deserted. At the end of the bed was a full mirror. The sliding door at the other side of the room from the doorway leading to out to the balcony was locked and had tape on the outside to make sure she didn't use it. On the right side of the room, there was a blank spot from where her TV used to sit, right next to her dresser and door to her closet.

Hercule thought his daughter was asleep, so he left the room as silently as possible, not to wake her up. The second he had gotten as far away as possible, she started crying again, but this time not as hysterically. Earlier, however, she had cried more hysterically then anyone would have thought her to cry.

She got up out of bed and headed towards her mirror. 'Look at me,' she thought, 'how long do I have to put up with this? I lost one battle and he treats me like I'm the weakest person on the planet. Really, how can he do this? I am almost as famous as he is! Ask anybody, "What is the name of Mr. Satan's daughter?" and they'll reply, "Well, it's Videl, of course!"' She started crying again, this time without noticing it, 'I just want friends to know the real me! The way Daddy-dearest is making me live is having me put on a façade that I don't agree with. All the time it's "Videl, why don't you go and train to be like me?" or "If you don't get stronger, then what will people say? They'll say that I am a negligent father, not letting my only daughter live up to my footsteps." I know what he is really saying, though he may never say it, "Why couldn't you have been a fighting prodigy? I would pay big bucks for you to be able to live up to me, you pathetic weakling of a worthless daughter." No one calls me a weakling.'

She finally managed to calm herself down, and went to sleep as soon as her face hit the pillow.

The next day:

Videl was woken up bright and early to train. Scratch that. It wasn't even light outside. It was about 4:30, and she hadn't fallen asleep until about midnight the night before. Needless to say, she was tired, and everyone knows to stay away from her when she is like that, except for her father who assumes that no one needs any sleep when it comes to being stronger.

She had to run a few miles in a track in the house, then she had to fight with the same robots she lost to until there was none left—and there had been twenty to start out with. Minus three from previous training and the show, that made seventeen. Hercule put the power up to 100 on the robots, so they were hard, but not that hard ((Hercule has a power of 200, remember? This is on his scale. On the normal scale, he is MUCH lower.))

The training lasted until she had to go on the bus to school. You read correctly…the bus…the one thing she was happy to get away from when she got her jet copter…the one thing in the world that she hated about normal life, other than being the daughter of a famous fighter. She had lost all jet copter privileges for a week.

She had to wait for the bus for a while, as it was almost always late. When the bus came by the road, it almost passed by her house. She had to literally chase it down before someone realized she was riding that day.

Because she was one of the later stops, she had two choices of where to sit—the front or the back. It would have been a lot better had she been on the same route as Erasa or Sharpener, but they had two buses in that area, and they were both on the other bus. Back on topic, she didn't know where to sit. If she sat in the front, she would be with the geeks, and she would have nothing to do. But, if she sat in the back, she would be with the more popular people who would bug her about her famous heritage. Because she had almost no time to think, she chose the front, so the bus could just keep going.

The front wasn't that bad, unless you count the geek she sat next to attempting to flirt with her. It was especially bad because most seniors took their car, so everyone on the bus was younger than she was. The geeks were especially young because they skipped grades. The twenty-minute ride seemed to take hours. Everyone seemed extremely interested in her life, and she would try to tell everyone that her life stunk, but of course no one believed that.

She almost jumped for joy when the bus rolled into the parking lot, but she had made it a personal goal to not show any emotion outside of her room, where she could be as happy, or sad, as she wanted.

She ran into Gohan as she made her way to class. One of the reasons why she hated the bus was the fact that it was always late. She had to get a late pass in the office before she could make her way to class. Gohan, too, was running as fast as he could, at least to her. He managed to stop right before they collided trying to get into the classroom.

Upon entry, they were met by the familiar droning voice of, "Ms. Satan and Mr. Son, I'm so glad that you could join us today. I was just about to call attendance, though I knew two people were gone, but now I know who they were. Luckily, you were right on time. Maybe we can make this a habit, Mr. Son." The last statement was more of a question than a statement.

They made it to their seats just as the teacher called the office to tell them that all were present, so they would have that in the records.

The day passed by rather smoothly, nothing really happened. Gohan got to tell Videl about the robots and the previous night's phone incident, but other than that, there was no hassle.

Videl got on the bus earlier than many of the other students, so she sat in the middle, where she could be sure that no one would bug her. The people in that area were just the normal people, no the jocks, wannabes, nerds, geeks, or the populars. Just the normal, everyday people that she would rather hang around with. She made a few acquaintances, so they would save her a seat for the rest of the week, so she wouldn't have to search for a seat.

When she got home, she had to train a lot more, and she was very tired by the time her dad let her crawl off to bed. She didn't even have a minute to think before her body gave out because of overworking it.

END CHAPTER

Well, here you go…after a few weeks in-between, I finally updated this. Actually, I was rushing because my brother says that he is going to delete the hard drive on the computer so that he can get rid of all the extra stuff and possible viruses. I had half of the chapter done, so I just had to do the rest before he could do that. He's not going to let me save anything, so that's going to be a problem…

Oh, well. My dad won't let him do anything without letting me know first.

Anyway: PLEASE REVIEW! I really do work harder and faster when I have people give me ideas. Also, criticizing my work also helps, but just don't flame it.

This chapter is short, I know, but oh, well. DEAL WITH IT!
