Eh...(Training Part 1)
Warning: I'm gonna try to write a fights scene. Keyword: Try.
Disclaimer: If I had an alto saxophone, a volleyball net, a stereo, a burned Caddilac, and a muffin button, I'd own DBZ. Does anyone know where to get a muffin button? Bwee hee hee.
Quote Note: Heh, it rhymes. I'm gonna have two quotes. The first is funny and the second is inspirational and or goes with the chapter...it may be funny too.

And We're Outta Here Saga ~ Chapter Five
Videl rolls out of bed and checks the clock. It read 9:52:06.
'Cheeseballs,' She thinks, 'I told Gohan I'd be there at ten.'
She jumps up and quickly brushes her teeth and finds what she's gonna wear. Her new sky blue gi with a purple belt seemed like a good choice. She quicky got dressed and brushed her hair and put her hair in a high pony tail. She checks the clock again.
9:52:54...
Darn...that was fast...
Gohan smiles as Videl touches down onto the ground before him.
"Morning." She says looking at Gohan.
"Hey." He greets, "I like your gi. You look pretty. A-And your hair matches." 'Shut up, Gohan, you idiot.' He thinks.
"Th-Thanks, Gohan. I think sky blue means excited." Videl comments, "So Sensei, what's first."
"Sensei? Eh, I like Gohan better. First off, what'd you do last night?"
"Well, I made the gi out of the strongest material I could get my hands on. I threw a brick at it. Then I threw Trunks at it. Trunks threw a small ki blast at it."
"And its still like that? Wow...Wait you threw a brick and Trunks at it?!"
"Trunks was taking his nightly flight and I grabbed him by surprise."
Gohan blinked and was about to respond until he noticed Videl wasn't there.
"Videl?" He asks as he turns around.
"I'm everywhere and nowhere."
He looked up and then looked in front of him again and saw Videl.
"How did..."
"How did what? I was standing here the whole time..."
"Sigh...you're gonna do something I like to call 'Speed Run Fun'.
"Question. Are all of my operation thingies gonna have stupid names like 'Speed Run Fun'?"
"I put a lot of thought into that name!"
"Like the Great Saiyaman."
He nodded.
"You're not naming our child." She replies. She blushes instantly when she realizes what she said.
"What'd you say, Videl?" He asked.
"I-I-I didn't say anything."
"Well, have you been moving faster than usual?"
"Well, it took me 48 seconds to get dressed and brush my teeth."
Gohan blinked, "It takes me ten. On a good day."
"Yeah, yeah. You're faster." Videl sighs.
"No I mean you're fast for non-intense training. You were always a pretty fast human though." He comments.
"Thank you."
"See that tree with the flag on the top." Gohan pointed to a tree.
"Yeah. Lemme guess, I've gotta get that flag, don't I?"
"Ready, Set, Go!"
Videl quickly grab the flag and stand back in front of Gohan. 6.93 seconds.
"Okay, I put the flag back up there and I want you to get it while carrying this." He hands her a bucket.
"It's empty...Why?"
"It adds more weight, doesn't it?"
"Like eight ounces." She answers.
"Go."
"Are we done now?" She asks between breaths.
"One last run." He says.
"What do I carry now? I've carried water, sand, rocks, bricks, chibis! What now?"
"Just get the flag."
Videl raises her eyebrow, "What's the catch?"
"There's no catch. Get the flag."
Videl does so. "3.51."
"Whoa! I shaved off like 3 seconds!"
"Yeah, you're gonna be faster than me in no time."
"Thank you, Gohan." She says. Next thing Gohan knew, they were hugging each other. They stayed like that for a few seconds until Videl looked up at him and smirks, "You're hungry, aren't you?"
"How did you know?"
"I could hear your stomach growling."
"Oh, well...lunch?"
"Yeah, let's go."
She'd always wondered how she got herself in these situations. Because they were so, so strange. And a little bit lethal.
Videl throws her head back and looks up at Gohan's fist.
"Are you trying to give me a black eye?"
"Eh..."
Did we mention that the situations she got herself in to were lethal?
"Ow! Ow! My shin! You didn't say you'd kick!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't kick."
"Jerk..."
"What?"
"Sigh...you're the reason I'm gonna have gray hair at 35."
"Eh..."
She was supposed to land a hit on Gohan but the chances of that were bad.
She didn't know know much longer she could keep dodging his attacks until she realizes something.
She didn't say she wouldn't kick.
But where was she supposed to kick him?
She swiftly slides under his legs and kicks his back as hard as she possibly can, sending poor Gohan, flying into the leaves and twigs of the tree in front of him.
"Do you know what the lesson is here?" Videl asks with a smirk on her face.
"Uh, don't spar in front of trees?"
She sighs and flies closer to him, "Always expect," She picks a branch out of his hair before she continues, "the unexpected."
"The unexpected, huh?" Gohan quicky puts his hands in front of Videl's eyes and around her waist.
"What are you-"
"Shhh..."
"The whole 'Suave Mystery Guy Thing' doesn't work on me. Trust me. Sharpener tried that in sixth grade and ended up kissing a catfish."
"You'll be seeing a kinds off fish in a second."
"You're dropping me in to a-"
Splash!
"How'd I end up in the water?" Gohan asked looking up at Videl.
"Quantum physics?" She guesses.
Gohan grabs her and dunks her head in the water.
"You little freak of nature!"
"You fairly bizarre yourself, my dear."
She glared at him but her glare softened when she saw how sweetly Gohan was gazing at her.
"How do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"You, you...you... One soft gaze and you...you..." Videl trailed off.
They looked into each other eyes as rain drops slowly began to fall.
"Just...just...stop being cute."
"Not happening."
They leaned toward each other until their lips met. And in that moment, where they stood in a lake, kissing in the pouring rain, they had no regrets in that moment.
"You know, we're gonna get pneumonia standing out here in the rain you know."
"Eh..."
"Wow! That's so cool!" Naomi shouts.
"We are pretty epic." Trunks adds.
Naomi rolls her eyes, "And modest, too." She mumbles, "Can I learn to fly too?"
"It takes years and years of practice to-"
"I got a fuzzy feelin'!" Naomi shouts, "In my tummy! Does that help? No, wait! I just passed gas..."
"Hey, wanna prank someone?" Goten suggested
"Wait!" Trunks objected, "I've got a good flashback!"
Based off of what Trunks said, do I honestly need to tell you?
Another hidden scene from Ch. 2...er, it helps understand it better cuz, this happen before Ch. 1 and...just read it.
Yamcha shovelled another spoon of ice cream in to his mouth, "I knew Bill was Wyatt's son! Why else would Quinn have got all weird when Hope mentioned Bill." {1}
Trunks looks at Goten and they both nod.
BANG!
"And we got him!" Trunks cheers, "Wait, Goten. I haven't seen the show in a while. What's been happening?"
"Well, after Katie fired Bill-"
"Katie fired Bill?" Trunks asked surprised, "Where'd she get the authority to do that?"
"Karen, Bill's sister, owns 50% of Spencer and when Katie and Bill got a divorce, Katie got 1%."
Trunks eyes widen, "Explain more later." By the time they had finished their conversation, they were in Goten's kitchen.
"Oh, Gohan, you and Videl's grandchildren will be so cute." They hear Chi-Chi voice sing.
"Mom," Gohan whines, "I would really appreciate it of you'd stop saying things like that."
"You're in love with the girl. I can see it in your eyes and the way you act around her. I've been around. I can feel the sparks when I'm around you two. Heck, you're throwing her an eighteenth birthday party!"
Gohan blushes and says, "I-I am not in-in love with Videl."
"Yes you are. You can't even object to it right."
"I- There's no point in trying, is there?"
Chi-Chi shakes her head.
"Sigh."
Trunks turns to Goten, "He's coming!"
"What do we do with Yamcha?"
"Pour him into that brown stuff!"
Goten quickly dumps Yamcha into the cake batter.
"Goten? Why are by the cake batter?" Gohan asked, "If you're trying to steal some, I'd advise you to not."
"Gohan, can I ask you a random question?"
"Yes..." He answers unsurely.
"Well, I heard mommy talkin' 'bout grandbabies. Where do babies come from?"
"Babies 'R' Us." He answers sternly. {2}
End based off of what Trunks said, do I honestly need to tell you?
"Mom?" Videl calls to the book.
The same scene as last time opens and the book glows.
"Lizaria?" Videl asks cautiously.
"In the flesh, or the hologram, rather."
"You look great. And if I look like you, I must look amazing."
Lizaria laughs, "And she's modest, too. No wonder he's into her." Lizaria slaps her mouth after realizing what she said.
"No wonder what?"
"Chicken butt!" Lizaria yells.
"Anyways," Videl continued, "When are Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and I supposed to come to Larips."
"ASAP!"
"Why didn't mom tell me?" Videl asked.
Lizaria rolls her eyes, "Mom kinda forgetful."
"Oh yeah. Can Naomi come?"
"NO! She'll die!" Lizaria responds.
"Why?"
"The gravity here is like 23.4 x stronger than Earth's. She'll have the life pressed out of her."
"Hey! Since when can I survive TWO times the Earth's gravity?" Videl shouts.
Lizaria sighs, "Gohan's gonna take you to the Gravity Room tomorrow. He'll help you. By the way, you should ask Bulma how fast she can get a spaceship ready. Goku can get King Kai to give you guys the way here. You need to stay for about two weeks."
"Okay. How did you guys know that I may or may not be the chosen one?"
"Well, they tested me and I had been the closet they'd had since the last chosen one so you were the closest to me so..."
"I should probably talk to Chi-Chi and Bulma about this."
"Yeah, I gotta go anyways. See ya soon."
"Bye Liz."
"Go, Videl! Go!" Goten cheers as Videl swiftly dodges Gohan fists. She quickly threw a punch with her left arm but misses. She attempts to kick him but that works as well as her first attempt. She closes her eyes tightly and randomly knees him and it hits him.
Videl floats down and looks at Trunks and Goten. The chibis look at her, then at Gohan, then at each other and they burst into laughter.
"Are you aware of where you kneed, Gohan?" Trunks asks.
"No." She answers.
The two boys look at each other and they answer in unison, "Below the belt."
Videl slapped her forehead, "Smooth." She turns to Gohan. "I am so sorry, are you okay?"
"We're finished for the day." He replies.
At dinner...
"...And then Videl kneed him below the belt." Goten tells.
"Did you have to say that?" Videl hissed.
Chi-Chi chuckled, "I'm sure he had it coming."
"Mom." Gohan whines.
"It was an accident." Videl adds.
"Videl! Tell mommy about the space adventure!" Goten insists.
Videl scrunches her face and then realization dawns on her.
"Oh yeah," She begins, "My mom and sister told me that Goten, Trunks, Gohan and I have to go to Larips as soon as we can."
"Do you have to take both of my baby boys?" Chi-Chi asked.
"That's just what Mom told me."
Chi-Chi sighs, "Only because I know my little boys can protect themselves in space."
"And Goku?"
Goku looks up from his spagetti and quickly slurps the noodles on his mouth, "Yeah?"
"Can King Kai get us the coordinates to Larips. Or Bulma more specifically."
He nods. "Yeah, I'll do that. Can I finsh my food first?"
"Hello," Videl says as she answers the phone, "Who is this?"
"It's Bulma." Bulma replies.
"Oh, hi."
"You know, you were supposed to tell me why you became Saiyan."
"Oh yeah, you see I-"
"Save it. I already know. I called to tell you that you can leave tommorow."
"Wow. It was ready that quickly?"
"I have like...eight spaceships in my garage that just need coordinates."
"Well, that's great."
"I'll see you tommorow?"
"Yeah."
{1} All of these characters are in an amazing soap opera called Bold and the Beautiful and it's getting really good.
{2} Babies 'R' Us. Genuis. Sadly, I didn't make that up. Awesomeness TV did.
A/N: This chapter was shorter than others but hey, whatcha gonna do? Thank you for baring with me and I'll see ya later. Till then, I must find a muffin button.
Chew on this though: Trunks, Gohan, Pan, Android Seventeen, and Android Eighteen form a band. What kind of music do they play? (Why would Pan join a band with her dad?)
