Oh how the days pass…. I've been so busy with schoolwork, but here is the next addition to the story. Right now I'm actually at school. Because we have a homework lab for two hours after school, and I ride the "late bus" that leaves at 5:00…school ends at 2:37…it is so sad.

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own ANYTHING? It doesn't look like it. Don't sue.

Answers to reviews:

Rinoakes: I know you want them to make out, but now is not the time…. they will by the end of the story…

TimeShifter: Hercule will get his just desserts. He will not get out of this without a fight from me

Unknownapprentice: I'm glad that someone else understands the importance of non-gay characters. Too many people think that everyone in the shows is gay! I've seen stories for Inuyasha (don't own), for example, who have Inuyasha and Shessomaru (brothers) be in love with each other! THAT IS DISGUSTING!

Thank you also to Shadow Dreamer 27, kickbutt91, and zfighter1989 for the encouraging reviews!

Chapter 14: Week Before the Stay (yeah…I know…. lame title, but give me a break! I have to cover this, because I like to make stories EXTREMELY long!)

Videl and Gohan rode in Videl's jet copter to Gohan's house. The ride took about an hour, for the mountains can be hard to maneuver, and Videl had to go around some of them. While on the way, Videl and Gohan talked about nothing in particular. He wasn't at all surprised, well, maybe just a little. Both were extremely happy that he had won.

When the jet came within seeing distance of Gohan's house, they noticed that Chi-Chi was sitting outside of the house, holding a frying pan, threatening Goten with it. Videl looked with horror as the giant iron pan of 5 pounds made contact with the seven-year-old's head.

Gohan held his head in his hand, trying not to look as Videl stared at the abusive site. Gohan held back a sigh as the doors to the jet opened, and his mom looked at him angrily and happily at the same time. How it is possible, no one really knows.

"Where have you been!" she asked as the doors opened. "I've been here wondering where you were and what you were doing, and you don't even call! You should at least have the decency to call me when you are going to be late. I was about to call Bulma and ask her to send Vegeta after you so I know where you are! What if you were hurt, or worse, what if you got into a fight that you couldn't win?" She kept on ranting like that until Videl tried her hand at calming her down.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Son, but Gohan here has won the contest and we had an interview with the reporters. We let at the time that Gohan usually leaves from school. We were expecting to be early. I don't know why we were late."

Of course, Chi-Chi didn't hear most of that, because she was too busy having the following formula run through her head: Gohan+Videl+month's-staygrandkids. Her eyes were glazed over, and Gohan knew what that meant………..he would never live this down.

Videl saw that Gohan was ok with the arrangement, and told him that he needed to have all his stuff ready by the next Friday, when Videl would come and help him take the stuff to her house. She would have headed home, but Chi-Chi insisted that she stay for dinner. "You're nothing but skin and bones! What does your dad feed you?"

The above comment made Videl uneasy, but she told Chi-Chi, "Nothing really. He has me fed as little as he can. I think he thinks I'm fat."

Chi-Chi was horrified. "HE REFUSES TO FEED YOU! YOU'RE A GROWING GIRL! YOU NEED FOOD!" and with that, she ran into the kitchen and started preparing food at the speed that only Chi-chi could. Within minutes, Chi-Chi had enough food prepared for Gohan, Goten, and if Goku was still alive, for him too. Goten and Gohan made their way to the table and ate their respective portions, and Videl got the Goku-sized portion.

((this is where I went and did the rest of this at home!))

"So Videl," Chi-Chi- started when Videl started chowing down on the massive mountain of food in front of her, "What is your relationship with Gohan? Will I be getting any grandchildren soon?" The question was innocent sounding enough, but…

Videl choked on her food as her face reddened like a tomato. "We…it's not what you think…coughcough" she started choking whenever she tried to speak. Gohan hid his head, trying not to show that he was blushing an even deeper shade of red. Goten looked on with his usual kawaii (sp?) curious attitude.

"Mom, where do babies come from?" he asked. Like Chi-Chi's above question, it was innocent enough, but Videl and Gohan just blushed all the more.

"Well, Goten, when a man and a woman…." Videl holding Chi-Chi's hand over her mouth cut off chi-Chi. Had Videl not been her "daughter-in-law-to-be", Chi-Chi would have attacked and screamed, but she just stopped and put on her "why don't you want him to know unless it's true?" face.

Videl mumbled a question to Gohan, asking where to bathroom was. He pointed it out without making eye contact, and she was off.

"Gohan, you have a really good choice when it comes to girls! Yes, she will bar strong children!" Chi-Chi was off in her own little world with that. Gohan knew not to protest, so he just ate his food until Videl came back.

The rest of the dinner went on without any hassle, unless you count Goten asking about four times where babies come from. Videl had to bribe the little boy into not asking again, and she would give him a piece of candy. He jumped for joy when she reached into her pocket and pulled out a restaurant mint.

"Where did you get that?" Gohan asked.

"Where do you think? I got it at the restaurant earlier today! Dad would kill me if he knew I had it."

"Oh."

When Videl had to leave for home, she had Goten attached to her leg, begging her to stay.

"Tell you what," she said, "You let me go, and I'll whatever babysitter for next time you get in trouble that you want, okay? I'll even get one for your friend! Just let me go ((isn't that the name of a song?))".

Goten was overjoyed. He thought for a moment for whom he wanted as a babysitter for the next time. He could choose any celebrity or ANYBODY. After thinking for a while, he whispered into her ear the person he wanted.

She almost laughed her head off at the sound of the person's name. "Are you serious?" she laughed out.

"Of course. Oh, and that goes for Trunks, too!" he exclaimed.

Gohan looked at the two questionably, and then Videl whispered who it was. It was the highlight of the day other than the whole contest thing.

Videl flew off as Gohan told his mom the lucky winner of the babysitting job. If anyone thought the jet was loud at takeoff, they were wrong. Even Videl could hear her laughing at 30,000 feet! Birds flew in different directions as the thought that the world was ending.

On Monday, the evil reporters ambushed again Gohan. "Where do you live?" "What does it feel like to win?", "How will your life change because of this?" they asked all in unison. He had been lucky that he had left early and had landed in an alley that day instead of the roof of the school.

His teachers didn't yell at him when he arrived ten minutes after roll, which constituted as a cutting class. Everyone's eyes were on the school's nerd. Some girls asked him out when the teacher droned on in the background. Some boys held looks of jealousy as their old admirers moved on to the new.

Gohan was overwhelmed with the attention. He started thinking about how it would have been had he taking all the credit for Cell. Things would be like this, and yet worse. Sure, there wouldn't be a contest, but rather he would be the role model for thousands of boys across the planet.

He was deep in though when the teacher called on him. Of course, she didn't yell at him, but rather moved onto the next student. Classes seemed to last forever until the final bell rang and school was dismissed. Videl caught up with him and asked where his ride was.

Thinking fast, he said that he had a capsule. He was mentally patting himself on the back for asking Bulma to give him a jet copter of his own for safety reasons. He went onto the roof with Videl, and when she let out her copter, he let out his.

It was a red and black copter with the Capsule Corporation insignia on each side in white. It was similar to Videl's in size and shape, but it had a newer look and it was a little more aerodynamic. It had sleek custom details on the front.

All Videl could say was "wow". Her mouth was wide open, and she had to bring herself back to the real world with a pinch to the arm. "Where did you get that?" she asked when she came to.

"It's a gift from the head of Capsule Corporation. I work there sometimes, remember?"

She nodded when she remembered that. She suddenly remembered that she had to be somewhere, and she jumped into her copter and flew away.

Gohan decided to play it safe and use the copter. He jumped in and flew away at twice the speed of Videl's copter. The ride took him twenty minutes, because he was going fast and he knew the mountains.

The rest of the week passed on in a similar fashion.

END CHAPTER!

Whew…. that took SO long! I have two hours after school each day of computer access, but I have to deal with homework during that time as well (poetry analysis…who cares? Papers about blades of grass? SO WHAT…stupid Mr. Olon (I found that on spell check, you can replace his name with loon, colon, oolong, and loony))

He is so negative! "If you have a 100 percent, it can only go down" is his usual speech.

Other than my negative teacher, most things are great. Sure, I'm probably failing Spanish, but who cares? I'll make it up before report cards go out. At least I have an A in history (sophomore honors class…I'm a freshman). No one has an A in honors geometry…I pulled an 86.

Ignoring my grades for school, please review! I don't know what people think about my work unless I get feedback.

R&R!
