Gohan walked away from the half wreaked workout room and started to think. He was making sure he wasn't going crazy. For the sake of all that is sane in this world Dende, please do tell me what the hell was that? How could Videl... I should talk to dad about this...well this might not be as big problem I'm expecting it to be...it could be that she is truly talented. The bell rang and Gohan forgot his worries as the thought of delicious lunch came into his mind. He rushed into the cafeteria to see Videl, Erasa and Sharpener sitting on a large round table and eating. Videl was still freaked out of the havoc she was caused, he could sense it in her ki, which was back to her normal level...no I can't say its normal for a human, she exceeds yamacha and krillin... yes she's talented and extremely determined. He went there and sat next to Erasa facing Sharpener and Videl. Erasa asked "Gohan, where have you been? You know, you and Videl were the top of the performers. And as for the reward, you are selected in with us too." Gohan asked "how many were selected?" to which Sharpener replied "only 7 groups, or you can say 14 persons, out of which we four are the lucky ones to get in there in first and second positioned couples." Videl groaned at Sharpener reply, she couldn't see where they were lucky. She hated the fact that she had to spend one hour each week on that stupid dance class. "Yeah, we're sooooo lucky" she replied disgusted at the fact. Then Gohan opened his lunch box and took put a capsule. He threw it on the table and a mountain of delicious food erupted, much to more annoyance that it totally enveloped Sharpener's and Erasa's lunch box. Erasa said recovering from the shock "Gohan, are you arranging a feast for the class, because if it's so then you must open it on a bigger table." "Nope, this is my everyday's lunch; well you can eat with me if you want. Well Videl, don't you eat lunch?" Gohan replied continuously filling his mouth with great fills of food and looking at Videl suspiciously while she shared the same look. "Well, I have my own capsule and I could have opened it if someone's food capsule didn't envelope the complete table" she replied his query with raising an eyebrow at the manner in which he ate, thou she wasn't surprised at the amount. "Come on Videl, I've never seen your food capsule before" added Sharpener. "I thought you were on diet, you know to be slim and that. I never doubted you got your exquisite figure without it. Still you don't have anyone. Why don't you give it a chance Videl?" said Erasa. "And to whom, this fucking idiot?" replied Videl rolling his eyes looking at Sharpener. "Come on Videl, I am not that bad. I bet there's no one else truly deserving of getting you except me." Sharpener quickly objected looking pissed off. "Come on Videl, what's bad in at least dating someone, no one is saying to stick to him 24x7. You are as experienced in this as a 4 yr toddler. I could bet you have never kissed anyone in your whole life. " Gohan ran over complete shock in this and slipped the half eaten hot-dog he was holding and gulped the piece in his mouth. He changed colours from normal to red and then crimson. The run over of Videl wasn't any different; she was completely red from head to toe. Well to make the matter worse, this obvious change didn't go unnoticed by their friends. "Or is it so..." asked Erasa with a taunting glint in his eyes. "Erasa, please just leave me now" she slowly muttered to her friend. Just then Sharpener opened his mouth but thanks to none but Dende, the bell rang. Gohan finished eating the last hot-dog and packed hi capsule in his lunch box when he remembered what he had now. He rushed to the changing room and took out his orange gi (like goku used to wear) and put it on him faster than a blink. Great Gohan, calm down, nothing is going to take dire tracks, everything will be fine. Avoid fight. Okay (deep breath) let's go. Gohan went inside the gym. His eyes looked at the ring in which stood a short man with bald head... "Krillin!" he shouted the name in joy. "Krillin, what are you doing in here? No, don't tell me that you are our gym teacher! No wonder Eighteen is here too! How's marron?" he asked messing words together. Krillin laughed at the over excited boy before looking at the whole class assembled. He looked at Gohan and he nodded back. Krillin acknowledged the whole class with a good morning and began his teaching "good morning class, so let me introduce myself to you. I am your new gym teacher..." Krillin was cut up by a raven haired girl who had two ponytails. "You are Krillin, one of the semi-finalists of 23rd WMAT, a disciple of the respected turtle hermit and friend of the legendary martial artist goku" answered Videl, looking extremely elated. Gasps were heard from the class as Krillin looked at the girls glowering face. "Whoa, girl, it's like you know the life history of me" said Krillin, looking eagerly at the girls face. The girl kneeled before Krillin and said "I am Videl, master Krillin. Not only you, but I know about worlds most martial arts champions. It's a great pleasure learning from you." Krillin looked at Videl and tried sensing her ki level and his eyes widened. She had a ki level higher than her. She was definitely stronger than her, but he was now in his lowest ki level and she was probably at his highest possible. He smirked and looked at Gohan, who was drooling over her like a metal to magnet. She was definitely a looker, and knowing that Gohan would never throw a bit of charm...he smirked at his thought.
Krillin picked her up and ordered everyone to stand in a queue. He then asked "who will like to battle first? Well let's start from experience, who's experienced in martial arts from more than 5 yrs?" four hands shot up in the air. One was obviously Gohan, other was Videl, next was Sharpener and Erasa. All the three of them stared at Erasa as she was insane. "What!" Erasa replied stubbornly "my father Tien thought I needed some training in self-defence" Krillin continued "more than 7?" Videl and Gohan's hand shot up in the air alone. Krillin amusingly said "we've got our opponents. Let's get started, you two immediately turn up in the ring."
Videl walked up to the arena followed by a shrugging reluctant Gohan. They took their stances at stood there still. (Gohan's thoughts in italics and Videl's underlined) dodge...dodge...dodge...Gohan dodge. Meanwhile Videl was only breathing hard and reminding herself keep your power level low, keep control Videl Satan; you can do this very well...just focus. They stood there for 2 minutes waiting for the other to make move when Sharpener shouted "what the heck are you waiting for Videl? Kick the nerd boy's ass!" Videl sighed and lunged at Gohan who just disappeared but she threw a kick behind her because she could sense where he was going still keeping her powers at edge. The kick hit him in his neck but he didn't budge. What the hell! This shot was capable of sending a normal boy direct into crashing wall! She looked at Gohan who wasn't fighting back totally. She scowled and charged thousands of punches at him, still keeping powers in check. At last she grew irritated and yelled on him "why the hell aren't you fighting Gohan? Don't tell me because you think I am weak cause I am a girl." She gritted her teeth. He could tell that she was beyond pissed. She threw punches and kicks at him at a speed beyond imagination. But he dodged them with ease. Help me Dende; I know the effects of fighting a human. Krillin, you are gonna pay for this.
Meanwhile Gohan was giving all his focus and powers in dodging her attacks. Then she saw her smirk. This will definitely do my work. With this thought she lunged at Gohan and faked a kick. As to her wanted response, Gohan dodged it by moving aside leaving his back vulnerable to her. Her smile broadened and she fired a huge powered kick towards him. What the hell! That really pained! He was pushed to the corner of the ring so leaving him with one option: that is fight back. But to think how many times could he get lucky, the bell surprisingly rang at the same time. Thank god Dende, you saved me.
"Of course I saved you Gohan, or I think you would have got a nice beating from your gf" replied Dende. (Dende is talking to Gohan in his thoughts that's why the typing is in italics)
Videl interrupted Gohan's conversation with Dende and remarked "Gohan, you are truly a fantastic martial artist. This was probably the best match of my life, if I expel the thought that you never raised a finger at me. I am keen to spar with you any day, so better be ready." She said smiling. Oh, she should smile more, it makes her more beautiful. Oh shut up Gohan. Just then Erasa interrupted the exchange and started her daily dose of fashion mania "Gohan, you are so decent boy, you should be more updated at fashion at least. We're going to mall today and that's an order. Videl you are with us and no excuses" Erasa gave the last and final verdict and Videl groaned. Gohan then tried to ask "well, I'll go if..." he was cut off rudely by Erasa's glaring eyes "if what?" Gohan looked fearfully at Erasa and cowered behind Videl and continued "if you all will come to my house. My mother wants to meet my friends."
"Okay we all will come tomorrow. I think our teacher will give us group assignments tomorrow. If we start from your home, it won't be much of a problem convincing our parents. Dad will allow happily however for my mom, the assignment would be an appropriate enough excuse."
Whoa, this gonna be fun. Videl at my house? Should I call Bulma and Vegeta too? Think about it later Gohan, next lecture will start soon
(Scene: Son house)
Phone bell is ringing. Goten goes and picks the phone up. Goten "hello, who is this?"
The other side replied "hello, we are calling from orange star high school. Can I speak to son goku?" Goten yelled "daddy, it's your call. It's from...orange cookie...blah...Blah..."
Goku came running out of the stairs and took the phone "hello, this is son Goku speaking." The person on the phone replied "Mr. Goku, our high school has arranged forest survival camp for our students according to which they will prepare their first summative projects. Would you like to guide them through this seven days camp? You have spent your whole life near that forest and no one will be better than you. The residential commodities won't be a problem as we are planning on contacting the capsule corporation for some residential capsule tents. We would be very pleased by your decision whatever it might be. So?" Goku gladly replied "thanks, I will gladly associate with you in teaching these young minds the laws of nature. When shall they reach?" the person gladly replied "they'll be there after three days sir. Thank you." The person kept the phone and Goku gladly headed towards the kitchen and wrapped his arms around chichi's waist. She was cooking food in a nice mood so wasn't bothered by the small distraction. Goku asked her "chichi, isn't Gohan reading in the orange cookie or such high school? The called and said that the students will be coming for the forest survival camp." Chichi turned around to face his husband and wrapped her arms around his torso. "It's orange star high school. And this is indeed a nice opportunity to see which girl holds Gohan's interest. Well shouldn't Gohan reach home at this time?" Goku replied "let him hangout with his friends." He added "and it's not like I mind being alone...with you." Chichi laughed at the boy glaring at her and said "if you don't want the food to burn then leave me..." Goku cut her off "let it..." when suddenly Goten screamed from the top floor "daddy, see I've brought Mr toady. Can I keep him?" Chichi pecked on his cheeks and he groaned. "Go handle him. I'll think about your reward." His eyes suddenly brightened as he pecked on her cheeks and ran upstairs. Chichi laughed and continued making the food.
