Later that day

Gohan's POV

I invited Videl over later that day, or she wanted to come over. I didn't think it was a good idea since dad and Goten were trying to do whatever but she insisted. Mom wasn't too thrilled when Videl came over but mom's never thrilled about anything so I ignored it.

Dad was sitting on the floor in the living room when we came in. He looked at us but only gave us a little smile. I thought we were safe but Goten popped out from under the couch cushions when Videl sat down.

"Hi Videl," he spoke slowly to try to sound creepy I guess.

"Goten, can't you leave us alone today," I sighed.

"Gohan! I would not bother you. I just want to play a game with you guys."

"What game?"

"Life."

"Why?"

"Because Gohan. Dad and I don't think that you are prepared for the real world. So we decided that this game was designed to teach you how to live and deal with life after high school."

"Goten I don't think that the game is a 'life tool' it's just a stupid game."

"It is not just a stupid game. IT IS LIFE!"

Videl sighed, "Okay we'll play just stop talking."

"I never stop talking."

So Goten went and got the game out of his closet and pulled it into the living room. He yelled to mom to come play, so it was the whole family in the living room gathered around the game. Most of us took the path through college except Goten who said he didn't need education. We all drew job cards, I got tech support, Dad got doctor, mom got teacher, Videl got accountant, and Goten got salesperson. As for houses dad got the log cabin, Mom got the farmhouse, Goten cheated and grabbed the Victorian one, Videl got the mobile home and I got the broken down split level.

"Hey Chichi, I have a house. You can come over," Dad was trying to be suggestive I guess.

"Okay Goku."

"Keep it in your pants dad," Goten said what we were both thinking, "Anyway, I don't know about you guys but if dad's a doctor I'm going to another country for health care. I also have to laugh at Gohan for living in a broken down house and congratulate me for living in a luxury house."

"iI's just a game," Videl mumbled.

"Hey, be quiet trailer trash."

"Hey!"

I threw myself in the middle, "Let's just play peacefully please."

"Fine," Goten sighed, "But I ain't taking any crap from someone on the bottom run of society."

"Whatever Goten, just play."

We continued to play for a while and Goten ends up making up his own spaces. He gets a hissy fit every time land on one of the LIFE spaces. "Go ahead Gohan, PLANT a TREE!," he whips an extra car at my head.

"Goten calm down, it's just a game," Mom grabbed his hand and sat him back down.

"Mom, Gohan is clearly cheating."

Mom spoke calmly to him, "Goten he's not cheating, that's how you play the game. You are the one who picked your house the wrong way."

"I couldn't risk living in a dump! I couldn't."

"Okay Okay. Calm down now."

"Fine," Goten relaxed back on the floor.

Dad ended up winning the game in the end. He told mom she could come retire with him in his cabin. Mom ended up in last place so Goten didn't have anything to say about it.

After the game I decided to try to get away from them and take Videl to my room. Luckily Goten didn't follow us, it sounded like he was fighting with dad over winning the game. I sat down next to her, "Sorry about my family."

Videl shook her head, "Why are you sorry. It's fine."

"I don't know," all I could do was laugh.

"Well stop worrying about it," She kissed me.
