Chapter 10: So, I'm Being Compared to Lawn Chair?

Emplin Saga~Chapter 4

A/N: Chapter 10? This is my first story with a tenth chapter! Go me! Go me! Though I've been thinking, I'm probably not gonna make it to 100k but, whatcha gonna do?

Quote of the Day: "It's raining pears and anvils!" My little sister playing Toontown, a video where that makes more than enough sense

"Ain't no point in actin' tough. Ain't no point in actin' bold.. Standin' shirtless in the rain, just gives ye a cold. Just gives ye a cold." -Kapp'n, Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Last time...

One the counsilman turns to her, "Does Miss Videl know that she opened a gateway to a palace?"

"Probably not. Goten! Trunks! Go get them!" Astella yells, "We're gonna live in a palace!"

"Wait, Gohan!" Videl screams, "If you're not gonna stop, can you at least remind me why I'm chasing you?"

Gohan comes to a skidding halt and turns around, "I...did it have to do with...Super Saiyan?"

Videl shrugs and asks, "Now how do I go back to normal, er, normal-er rather."

"Er, just calm down?"

Videl tries and is unsuccessful the first few times but finally goes back to normal, er, normal-er rather.

Goten and Trunks then fly up to them and exclaim, "Videl! We're gonna live in a palace!"

"A palace, huh?" She inquired, "How did that happen?"

"Well, when you flew away from the panel, you opened the door to a palace." Goten explained.

"Well, why are you standing here?" Videl asked, "Let's go."

"What are you talking about?" Erasa screams, "How did you lose half of a movie?...We have to do the zombie scene again?... But I just got back to Japan! I was gonna go see my best friend and asked her if she wanted to get an apartment with me?... Fine, I'll come to the airport, but I've got to write a letter."

Dear Videl,

The idiot I call a director lost half of the movie so I'm not back for long. I just wanted to let you know that I wanted to see if you wanted to share an apartmenr with me like we three were gonna do when Liz was still around.

Your Best Friend,

Erasa

"Wow! This bigger than my house." Trunks muses.

"It's the Chosen One's palace! What'd you expect?" Videl asked.

Trunks shrugs, "I'm gonna see if I can find food. Goten, are you coming with?"

"Maybe there's roast beef! I'm in!" Goten cheers and the to chibis take off.

Gohan looks to Videl, "Hasn't there not been anyone in here for like, a thousand years?"

She nods.

"Then what do they expect to find?" He asks.

Videl sighs, "I'm so tired. I don't feel like dealing with them. Becoming the Chosen One takes a lot out of you, you know. And then I went Super Saiyan. And I haven't slept since the authors note before chapter eight."

"What?" He asked.

"I'm so tired I don't even know what I'm Saiyan. I mean saying." She replies.

A man with blue skin and green hair tapped on Videl's shoulder. Both her and Gohan turn around.

'He looks...strangely...familiar.' Gohan thinks.

"Ah, you must be the Chosen One." He says, "I am Neroz (A/N: Uh oh) and I will be one of your humble servants at your palace. And may I say, you look even more radiant in person." Neroz grabs Videl's hand and kisses her hand gently. This makes Gohan's eye twitch slightly, 'Where did he get the right to flirt with my Videl. Here I go again. She's not mine. Not mine. I wish she was though...'

5 days later...

Videl smiles as she knocks on Gohan's door.

"Hi, Videl. What are you do-" He begins as he opens his door.

She grabs his hand and begins to drag him to her room, "We are having a slumber party." She stated.

"What?"

Videl sighs, "I just...haven't seen you lately. I like spending hours hanging out with you, talking, playing, having fun." 'Kissing... Seriously, not now.'

"Eh, I guess I've got nothing better to do." He shruged

"Oh, so I'm the reject choice here, huh?" She asked crossing her arms.

Gohan waves his hands swiftly in front of his face and says, "N-No! It I-"

"Shush. Just come on you...boy. Darn, I'm running out of clever things to say." Videl frowned.

Lizaria is sooooooooooooooooooo bored. More bored than Naomi was when she was wandering around a saved a girl's life and uncovered nearly priceless information that could save the entire galaxy, so...yeah...

'I'm glad Videl's got a boyfriendish thing. Erg! They need to go out already! And then they'll get married and I'll be an aunt...but, what about me...? Me, Erasa, and Videl always promised when we turned eighteen that we'd move into an apartment. Erasa would be a struggling actor, Videl would be the one that constantly turned boys down like a fighter plane, I would be the one with the cute boyfriend who would come through and sometimes we'd get too affectionate and the rest would shout, 'Get a room!' But now, that's Videl and I am more than estatic for her but, what about me? I want to fall in love! I want to have that special connection. I want someone to hold me. I want to get married. I want to have children. I am only eighteen though but, ya know for future references and whatnot.'

Just then, Lizaria found heer self slipping backwards and being caught by someone. She looks into his eyes and her heart stops at that moment. She feel some kind of tingling sensation in her stomach and he smiles at her.

"Th-Th-Th...thanks, N-Neroz..." She stutters. (A/N: Uh, oh...again.)

He smiled, "You are welcome." He then kisses her hand and walks away to Dende knows where.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" A voice shouted, "YOU CAN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH ANYONE OTHER THAN THAT EARTHLING, VIDEL! ESPECIALLY NOT WITH HER TWIN SISTER!"

"But Boss, I felt something amazing when I looked into her eyes and...I think she felt it, too. I think Lizaria is the most amazing person in the universe. I don't feel that way with Virel."

"Videl." Refrige corrected.

"Oh, yes."

"You have to fall in love with her in order for you to eliminate her."

"Why can't I just stick a knife in her or we poison her or something?"

"Now she's a Saiyan and it won't work because basically, she'd survive if she was hit by a wrecking ball made of diamonds and overgrown rose thorns going at half a million kilometers per hour. And Saiyans have very strong...can't remember. But they don't get sick easily. She can only be hurt by the one she cares about most. You have to be the one she cares about most."

"But that's Gohan." Neroz says.

"We have to elimnate him."

"But, Lizaria-"

"Is apparently a distraction and I won't hesitate to fispose of her if I must."

"No! Do with me what you will but please don't hurt her!"

"You will have Videl fall in love with you and you will kill her!" He commands.

"Yes, sir."

"Good. I'm glad we see eye to shadow. Bwahahahaha- *coughs* I choked on a bug."

The next morning...

Gohan woke up to find Videl snuggled up beside him. They were still wearing pajamas which was a good sign. But what happen last night?

Videl's lazuline {1} eyes flicker open. She smiles at him, "Good morning, Gohan."

"Videl...how did...or why...I mean..." Gohan stuttered.

Videl blushed and looked down. "I...I got c-cold last night a-and you were...warm." She mumbled barely loud enough for him to hear."

"Oh. By the way, your hair pink. What does that mean?"

"It means in l- Er, happy." She says, not looking him in the eye.

"I thought yellow was happy." He replies.

"That's depressed."

"I thought depressed was the color black."

"Black is neutral."

"Pink's not neutral?" He asked.

"No, it's in love. I mean..." She trails off. She then looks up into Gohan's soft, dark eyes and Gohan looks in to her bright, azure eyes and they get closer and closer and when their lips were just a centimeter apart...

...then Gohan's stomach grumbles. Videl blushes and pulls back and says, "I...I gotta go help Liz with something. B-Bye."

'Now? Now?! I almost kissed her and then my stomach growles. I was so, so close to her warm, luscious, full lips...but now...smooth, Gohan. Smooth.

Later that day...

Videl sighed and rings the bell besides her throne (A/N: Oh, yeah. She's got a throne.) and within an instant, Neroz and Gohan are standing beside each other they shoot each a quick glare and then smile at Videl.

"Can I have some chocolate covered strawberries?" Videl asked them both and in about six seconds they both return with strawberries.

"I got you white chocolate because I know you prefer that to milk chocolate." Neroz smiles.

"Well, I got you milk chocolate because I know you prefer it on your strawberries." Gohan smirked.

Videl takes both plates of strawberries and says, "Thank you. Can you go get Lizaria for me?"

"Hey! Hey! Hey! What's going on?!" Lizaria shouted as Gohan and Neroz brought her in the room.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" Neroz asks politely.

"O-or me?" Gohan retaliates.

"No just leave me alone with Lizaria." Videl says.

With Gohan and Neroz...

"Hey you," Neroz begins, "I don't know who you think you are but you need to give up on Videl. She's way out of your league. She'd never love a...a thing like you."

"Look, I might not be romantic or suave but Videl's mine." Gohan responds.

"How so?"

"Well...I saw her first!" He reasons.

"This isn't kindergarten, Monkey Boy."

'Monkey Boy? Where have I heard that before? ...Frieza.' Gohan thinks, "Wait a second. Do you know Zarbon?"

"He was my father. Why do you ask?"

"Just...wondering."

With the twins...

Videl smiles and hands Lizaria the plate of white-chocolate-covered strawberries.

"You are so lucky." Lizaria muses, "You're the chosen one and you've got two boys after you."

"What are you talking about?" Videl asked.

"It's painfully obvious that both Neroz and Gohan are totally smitten with you." Lizaria answers.

'Gohan...smitten...with me?' "R-Really? I doubt that."

"Yes they are. Think of it like this. You are the most comfortable lawn chair thing at the beach and Gohan and Neroz are fighting to sit on you."

"So, I'm being compared to a lawn chair?"

"No think of it like this..."

A few hours later...

"Stupid Neroz trying to steal my woman. Stupid stomach grumbling when I almost kissed her. Stupid fear of rejection. Stupid..." Gohan trailed off.

"Ah!" He heard Videl scream from behind a door.

"I've got you down and I've got a sword on you." He Neroz say, "What are you going to do now?"

"Help! Help me!" Videl calls out.
