After the paparazzi incident, Gohan was very nervous and paranoid around any camera. Of course, Videl had no idea this was happening, but she silently watched on as the wondering eyes of her future husband continued to glance everywhere at seconds at a time.
"Gohan?"
His eyes glanced down to her, a small smile coming onto his frowning lips. "Yes?"
"Why are you so tense?" she asked him raising an eyebrow. She knew Gohan had to watch out for himself at times, but this was becoming ridiculous! Why was he looking around at such an alarming pace?
Gohan paused for a moment. What was a good answer he could give his fiancé?
"Rabid dogs...?" asked Gohan. Of course, it really didn't fit as convincing... so, Videl played along.
"Rabid dogs you said?" asked Videl questioning.
"Yes..."
Videl nodded her head, "Okay... hm... rabid dogs. I'd say, the last time I saw, you used your energy to vaporize anything that might have posed as a threat."
"But that was until one snuck up on me."
"Snuck up on you?" she questioned.
Gohan nodded his head dramatically hoping it would convince the girl next to him. "Yeah. It bit me."
"Bit you?" asked the female with an unbelieving smile. "Then tell me, mister scare-dy pants, where did this mysterious rabid dog bite you?"
Gohan paused for a moment, and then slowly replied, "In the butt."
Videl blinked. "What?"
"In the butt," added Gohan as he bit his lip.
Videl placed an arm around Gohan's mid-waist (thanks to height difference) and stared up at the saiyan as she smiled, "Not only do I believe that as a false statement, I know you can easily read ki signatures and life energies around. There was no way you were bitten in the behind by a rabid dog."
'Damn...'
"AH HAH!" exclaimed the girl as she laughed. "I KNEW you were lying Son Gohan!"
"No, I meant 'damn' as in 'do I have to prove this statement fact to her?'"
"Nice try Gohan."
"No really!" he exclaimed back with wide eyes.
Videl took her arm away from Gohan's mid-waist and crossed her arms leaning on her side hip. "Okay then, Mr. Son, prove your point valid and I'll decide from there."
"You don't mean..."
Videl nodded her head, "I wanna see this rabid dog bite on your cute lil ass."
Gohan became pale as a ghost. "...you what?"
"You heard me," stated Videl with a smirk. "Prove me wrong."
Gohan glanced around the public area starting to really feel self-conscious at this moment. "But... but there are people around, walking by and stuff."
Videl shrugged her shoulders. "I don't care. I want you to prove your point valid and then we can be on our merry way. I won't ever harass you about this claim you make."
"Videl..."
"Come on Gohan, you'll have to get use to me seeing that cute lil ass of yours-"
"But with people around? I like keeping my ass private."
"Gohan..." she stated in a warning tone.
"But Videl..."
"NOW!"
As much as Gohan hated for Videl to be angry with him, he complied and shoved all humiliation and shame behind him. Undoing his belt, the saiyan began unzipping his pants as he quietly glanced to Videl silently pleading for her to stop him at any moment.
She just simply stood there with a smirk on her lips as she continued to watch. Her arms were crossed firmly over her chest and she patiently waited.
The saiyan sighed. 'Here goes nothing...'
He pulled the back part of his pants down for Videl to see if he was lying or speaking the truth.
"WHOOOO!!! TAKE IT OFF!!!" shouted a random by passer in a car. "TAKE IT ALL OFF!" shouted another girl. The thing he feared arrived at the scene of the crime.
The paparazzi arrived.
They began snapping as many pictures as possible as Videl gasped silently. Gohan quickly pulled up his pants and belted them before grabbing Videl running at the speed of sound. Videl was still in the state of shock as she glanced up to her saiyan mate.
"You DO have that rabid dog bite!"
Gohan frowned. "I told you!"
The saiyan's face was completely scarlet as he continued running towards Capsule Corps. Videl's face slowly became a lovely shade of pink too. "I thought you were lying..."
Gohan closed his eyes silently blocking his thoughts... '...because I WAS lying...'
Videl glared at her fiancé. "GOHAN!" she shouted at him slapping the side of his face.
Busted.

The next day...
Bulma spit out her coffee as she read the morning newspaper. Her eyes widened in fright as she spilled the coffee in her cup on the floor. 'Oh my...'
"VEGETA!!!!" shouted the woman as she continued staring at the newspaper picture- front page.
The saiyan prince ran in looking at every corner of the house looking for any signs of danger. "Where is it woman?" He couldn't sense any danger, so he frowned to the female scientist, "What's wrong? See a roach again?"
Bulma turned the paper around giving the prince an eyeful of what was on the front page. "Could you ask Gohan what possessed his MIND to show the world the rabid dog bite?"
"Rabbi's gotten to his head?" asked Vegeta as he noticed the picture of the butt.
"But Videl's right beside him!"
Vegeta paused for another moment and glanced at the picture once more before a cruel smirk crossed his lips. He merely laughed before starting to walk out of the room.
Bulma blinked her eyes and frowned at her husband. "W-wait! Vegeta! What is the meaning of this?!"
The saiyan prince paused before laughing to himself, "The boy's ego- he's merely trying to impress little miss Videl. He probably used that rabid dog excuse to get him out of some explanation that would harm his pride."
"Oh..." muttered Bulma as she began reading the article to the newspaper.
She just hoped this strange story wouldn't make local news...

Somewhere in the woods...
"SON GOHAN!!!!" shouted an angry female voice. "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU-"

AN: Okay that was really, really short. Kind of pointless and stupid, but it was more of a filler chapter to get back into the swing of writing humor. It's not as easy as it looks! (At least, it's not that easy any more... just some practice.
Okay, give comments, notes, anything that you think would be good enough for a review. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is a plus too. Thank you for reading, and I will do what's possible to make the next chapter longer. I already have 2 pages written (from a year ago ) that I had forgotten about. Yeah...
Again, thanks for reading!
