Okay Folks, It's Time For The 2nd Part Of Gohan's Run Towards One Million Dollars. Let's See How Far He Goes This Time, But Just Remember This. I Only Own My OC's Thank You.
After the commercials were finished we return to the show to find the audience still applauding as we go up to the money that's sealed inside it's glass case which was conntected to the stand where Gohan & Shawn were sitting at.
"Were back & right now I'm sitting with Gohan whose off to a good start." Shawn said. "Having already won $1,000 & is going for $2,000 next. And so far those studies are helping him out quite well. Wouldn't you say?"
"Yeah. I guess so." Gohan answered with a smile.
"Now, during the break. me & Gohan were talking about the time that his father Goku was on the show, which was during the show's 1st two weeks & when we used the original money totals." Shawn said. "Of course after that we tweaked it a little & by then both his Grandpa & his Mother went on our show. With his Grandpa winning $12,500, & his Mom winning $75,000. And Gohan here didn't know about it. Now how is that Gohan?"
"Well... I was probably training for a whole year with Piccolo when that happened. Plus I was only 5 years old back then." Gohan said. "So maybe I did see them on here but forgot about it."
"That's a possibility, cause forgetting things happen to a lot of people. I mean it happens to me as well but you don't see me complaining." Shawn said causing the audience to laugh a little. "But putting that aside, you Gohan are only the 4th member of your family to be on this show. And so far your Mom has the highest amount won so far, wouldn't it be a surprise if you surpassed her today?"
"Yeah, I guess so. That kind of depends on how the questions work out." Gohan said.
"Good point. So speaking of questions they've been pretty easy for you at this point considering you already have $1,000 in your pocket." Shawn said. "But of course they start to get a little harder as we go further into the game."
Just then we see the money tree again showing the orange bar highlighted on the 5th level with the thousand dollars. Plus we see all of Gohan's Lifelines still of use.
"Now of course your just 10 questions away from the million dollars, & you still got all 3 lifelines left." Shawn said. "And we're about to go for $2,000. Ready to see if these questions remain in your favor?"
"I'm ready if you are." Gohan answered.
"Oh I'm ready all right. So with that in mind, let's play." Shawn said as the audience began to applaud some more while the lights began to dim down causing the room to turn a little darker. "All right, this is for $2,000. Let's see that question."
And so the 6th question for this game comes up as Shawn began to read it.
"In which Disney cartoon does an American Indian fall in love with an Englishman?" Shawn asked as he then began to read the possible answers. "Hiawatha... Pocahontas... Mulan... Aladdin."
Gohan starts to study the question a bit as he began to have an idea.
"You seen the movie before?" Shawn asked Gohan.
"No, but I actually read the book." Gohan answered.
"Really, the book!" Shawn said sounding surprised.
"Yeah! And it says that the Englishmen named John Smith falls for a American Indian named Pocahontas." Gohan said. "So I'll make Pocahontas my final answer."
Once saying that the computer automatically locks in Pocahontas in a orange colored highlight.
"Your right it's Pocahontas. Just won $2,000." Shawn said as Gohan gives a thumbs up with a grin on his face.
($2,000)
After a quick moment of the audience applauding, the lights go back down again returning to the state it was in before.
"Doing just fine at this point. Going for $5,000 now." Shawn said as he goes right ahead & reads the next question. "What were Willy Wonka's prize-carrying chocolate bars called? Magic Bars...Golden Bars...Willy Bars...Wonka Bars."
After seeing that question, Gohan began to chuckle to himself a little catching Shawn's attention. "Your chuckling, have you read the book I'm betting."
"Well, that & I've seen the movie of it." Gohan happily said. "One of my favorite movies I watch all the time at home. And the name of that chocolate bar is called a Wonka Bar. So I'll go with Wonka Bars."
"Final Answer?" Shawn asked.
"Yep, Final Answer." Gohan answered sounding confident as the answer Wonka Bar is locked in.
"Just won $5,000." Shawn said as the audience began to applaud for the young saiyan again as we see Goku who was still hiding himself applauding his son as well.
($5,000)
After that ovation from the audience, the lights began to dim down once more as Gohan looked very happy at the moment.
"Your doing great Gohan, & it looks like those questions have been in your favor as of this point." Shawn said.
"Yeah I know. Pretty cool." Gohan answered as we see the money tree showing Gohan is indeed at five thousand dollars.
"Agreed! We'll were about to make a big jump on the money. We're now going for $12,500 with all 3 lifelines still there. Here we go." Shawn said as the 8th question of the game comes & Shawn begins to read it out to Gohan. "The sap from which tree is used to make a popular, edible syrup? Bay...Pine...Yew...Maple."
Now Gohan starts to read over the question for a minute not wanting to afford a foul up at this point.
"Not familiar with Yew. But for Pine I remember it was half a name for Pinecone." Gohan said.
"Heard those things are pretty pointy." Shawn said.
"They are, not a pleasent experience I can tell you that much." Gohan said. "But I don't think Pine produce syrup. I'm pretty sure it's Maple."
"Maple you say?" Shawn asked.
"Maple yeah, cause I remember when I usually eat Pancakes or Waffles for breakfast I usually add syrup to it & on the bottle it said Maple on it." Gohan said.
"I see." Shawn said.
"Yeah, & I'm sure Maple is right." Gohan said.
"You think it's Maple. And your gonna make it your final answer." Shawn asks.
Gohan pauses for a bit & then says. "Yeah, final answer." And with that the answer Maple becomes locked in.
"Syrup comes from a Maple tree. You got it again." Shawn said as once again the audience continues what they do best, applaud Gohan for that correct answer.
($12,500)
Once the audience began to calm down from applauding, the lights go back down & return to the same state from before.
"Up to $12,500 already & still has not used one single lifeline yet. And here we go again for $25,000." Shawn said as he lowers his head towards his screen & begins to read the question in front of him. "Which bird is said to bury its head in the sand when afraid?Dodo...Ostrich...Emu...Crane."
Gohan once again looks over the questions & then says. "I think it's an Ostrich."
"An Ostrich?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah cause I remember watching a documentary on the different species of birds & an Ostrich was one of them, & when it usually gets scared it ducks its head into the ground." Gohan answered. "But yeah at this point I'm pretty sure it's an Ostrich."
"Okay, & your going to make it your final answer?" Shawn asked.
"Lock it in." Gohan answered as Ostrich does indeed get locked in.
"Ostrich is right, your on a roll." Shawn said as Gohan laughed to himself with delight.
($25,000)
Goku who was still hiding himself to make sure Gohan didn't seem him applauding really excitedly seeing how far his son has gone in the game. Just then the lights went down to the floor once more as Shawn looked very impressed with Gohan.
"Gohan I am quite amazed. So far you've managed to correctly answer 9 questions so far & have not used one lifeline yet." Shawn said. "Could it be possible that with all those studies you've done over the years, you might win a million dollars without using a lifeline?"
"It could happen." Gohan answered with a bit of a chuckle afterwards.
"Yeah, with the way your going it might." Shawn said as we look at the money tree showing Gohan currently on $25,000. "Now look, let's not lose focus Gohan. Your on $25,000 & are just 6 questions away from One Million Dollars, You get this next question right & you'll be certified with $50,000 no matter what happens. But if your wrong it's back down to $1,000, So with that in mind here comes your $50,000 question."
And off goes Shawn turning to his computer screen as he starts to read the $50,000 question.
"What is the US equivalent of Japan's Nikkel 225, Hong Kong's Hang Seng and London's FTSE?" Shawn said as he then starts to reas the answers. "Dow Jones World Stock Index...New York Stock Exchange...Dow Jones Industrial Average...Wall Street Journal."
After reading the entire question Gohan starts to think it over cautiously knowing how much money is on the line, but seems to be having trouble.
"Ever heard of something like this before Gohan?" Shawn asked.
"Not as far as I can remember, I'm not familiar with this sort of thing." Gohan said. "I haven't gotten that far to learning this yet."
"That so? Well I don't blame you a bit, I'm not familiar with this kind of stuff either." Shawn said. "I mean hey I may have been a cartoon character for over a century but I'm just a simple 18 year old boy for crying out loud."
The audience suddenly began to laugh a little after hearing that remark. Though Gohan only gave a smile as he didn't want to lose his concentration.
"But Gohan don't forget, if your not so sure of something you can use a lifeline." Shawn said. "It's totally up to you though, even though $25,000 is on the line."
"Don't remind me." Gohan said as he thinks it over for another minute. "But I really don't want to lose a lot of money, I'd better Ask The Audience for this one."
"Sure why not." Shawn said as the lights suddenly go up & the set turns into a pink/purple color. "Audience, Gohan needs your help. So on your key pads, choose either A,B,C,D. And if your ready, please vote now."
With that statement said all of the members in the audience grabbed their keypads & locked in their answers. After a few seconds of voting, the results were in.
A: 59%
B: 21%
C: 4%
D: 18%
"Okay.. Well it looks like 59% thinks it A at this point." Shawn said. "That's just about half the studio audience right there."
Gohan starts to review the audience polls & gets a thought. "You know, I was actually thinking about A myself before I asked this audience."
"You were?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah, but I wasn't entirely sure. Cause sometimes my instincts aren't right." Gohan said. "But after seeing those results, I'm feeling a little more confident now."
"So.. your going to go for it then." Shawn said.
"Might as well trust the audience on this one." Gohan said. "I'll say Dow Jones World Stock Index, final answer."
Once Gohan said those two words, answer A gets automatically locked in. Shawn looks down at his screen for a moment drawing in some build up.
"Gohan, you'd better thank 59% of this audience. You've got fifty grand." Shawn said as the audience began to applaud with excitement.
"Thanks you guys." Gohan said to the audience as he began to laugh with excitement.
($50,000)
After all that excitment, the lights began to go down again. But this time they all go out leaving the set in near pitch dark with only Shawn & Gohan surrounded with light. Gohan looked really happy after winning $50,000. As for Shawn he was digging through his check pile & pulls out a check for $50,000 on it.
"Check this out Gohan, a check for fifty grand with your name on it." Shawn said. "You didn't think you would get this far?"
"Not really." Gohan said.
"Well I can tell you this now, you've got yourself $50,000 no matter what happens. And now your only 5 questions away from a million dollars." Shawn said as we see the money tree again showing Gohan so on $50,000 & their's a big red X over the Ask The Audience lifeline. "You still got 2 lifelines left, and we're about to go for $75,000. And you might as well go for it, cause if you miss you won't lose anything at this point. You think you can handel this last 5 questions?"
"I'll give it a shot." Gohan answered.
"Fair enough, here comes the next question for $75,000. Best check it out." Shawn said as he began to read the 11th question in the game. "In golf, by what name is a double-eagle also known? Birdie...Albatross...Pelican...Cardinal."
Once again Gohan looks over the question real quick as he seems to have an idea of which answer to choose from.
"A name for a double-eagle. Well I know that sinking a hole on your 1st shot is a Hole-In-One, An Eagle on your 2nd shot if it was a Par 4, A Birdie if you get it one shot below Par, & A Par if on the nose." Gohan said.
"So what does all that mean then?" Shawn asks.
"I think that if you were doing a Par 5 hole & if you get it on your 2nd shot. That's called a Albatross." Gohan said. "And since I got nothing to lose at this point, I'll go ahead & go with Albatross."
"Final Answer?" Shawn asks Gohan to be sure.
"Yep." Gohan answered as the answer Albatross becomes highlighted in orange.
"You've tied with your Mom Gohan, you got $75,000." Shawn said.
"All right." Gohan said with excitement as the audience began to applaud him again, Goku included.
($75,000)
"Gohan's this close to becoming our 1st Millionaire, Just 4 more questions to go." Shawn said. "And he goes for $150,000 when we come back. Hurry back!"
With that we began to circle around Gohan for a bit who began to chat with Shawn some more as we enter another commercial break.
And with that we rap up part 2 of Gohan's run to One Million Dollars. And so far he's at $75,000 just tying the score with this Mom. With only 4 more questions remaining & 2 lifelines left, Can he go all the way & take home the big one? Stay tuned for Part 3 to find out, but until then read & review.
