DBZ: My Way
Am I Needy?
It has been a week since Selena, Goku, and Pikkon was brought back to life and so far everything was going great. Selena lived with Videl. Pan was excited about being able to live with her mother, Chi-Chi was sad that it was so far away from where she lived at, but Goku told her he would take her to see Pan anytime she wanted. Bulma had to make 2 extra gravity rooms one for Videl's house and another for Goku's house. Erasa was always at Videl's house whenever she wasn't working at the new job she got. Bulma was nice enough to cut back Videl's work schedule by 2 hours a day so she can spend more time with her daughter.
Now the Briefs, Son's, Shisho's, 18, and Erasa was sitting in Videl's living room talking about anything that came to mind. Goku and Vegeta tried to sneak off to the gravity room but both was met with a frying pan to the face, which made Selena and Pan roll on the floor laughing. Chibi, and Trunks was sitting in front of the TV watching cartoons completely ignoring everything that was happening. When a commercial for the next tournament that would be coming to the area came on both Chibi and Trunks eyes lit up and together they turned around, "mom can we enter the next tournament please" they both asked together.
"Noway" denied Bulma and Chi-Chi right away.
"Please" they begged.
"No Trunks your to young" said Bulma.
"We don't need the money" said Chi-Chi.
"But it will give us something to do, and if you let us I promise we will be good for the entire week" said Trunks.
"Yea we will be good and do what you say" agreed Chibi.
"No" said Chi-Chi.
"Whoa hold on Chi, think about this an entire week without having to chase them around we cant pass this up" reasoned Bulma.
"Now that I think about it, this is to good to pass up" said Chi-Chi, "ok you can enter only if Videl allows Pan to enter" said Chi-Chi.
"Please mommy" asked Pan with her pout she learned from Videl.
"No don't even try and give me that look" said Videl, before it was able to take effect.
"Daddy please" Pan turned to Gohan.
"Don't look Gohan" warned Videl.
Before Videl was able to finish warning him he turned and looked when she called him, "it wont hurt for her to enter this time" said Gohan looking into Pan's eyes.
"I swear you helpless Gohan" said Videl, "fine as long as my baby don't get hurt she can enter" she finished.
"Yay thank you so much mommy" Pan said jumping on Videl.
"Hey what about me" asked Gohan.
Pan giggled at him then kissed him on the cheek, "I love you to daddy" she said.
"Don't worry Gohan shes a mommas girl" said Mirai.
"Hey Videl don't forget we have a report due tomorrow morning" said Erasa to Videl.
"Crap I forgot about that with everything that happened this weekend what was it on" she asked.
"An important person in your life" said Gohan.
"Oh I'll use Pan" said Videl.
"Can't I already wrote mine on her" said Erasa.
"What shes my daughter though" pouted Videl.
"So you should have remembered the report" said Erasa sticking her tongue out.
"Fine I'll use mom then" Videl said.
"What am I a rebound" asked Selena.
Videl kissed her cheek, "I love you to mom" she said.
"You and Pan are to much alike i'm betting she is practicality just like you was when you was a kid" said Selena.
"I guess she is also her mothers daughter just like me" said Videl, "hey mom you wouldn't mind doing me a favor would you" asked Videl.
"Depends" said Selena.
"Well you know I fight crime as myself but I also do it as Selena when its something big, well I was wondering if you can show up as Selena tomorrow so people wont start to think i'm Selena even though I am" said Videl.
"Sure" said Selena.
"Gohan is lucky he takes over after school so no one can relate him to Bardock" said Erasa.
"Gohan make sure you show your brother around school tomorrow" said Chi-Chi.
"Its not like I have a choice he basically have all the same classes" said Gohan.
"Hey Mirai is in the classes also, and you don't have to worry about being the smartest in the school no more both of us got perfect scores" said Demi.
"I never had to worry about it, Videl always got perfect scores and Erasa also gets near perfect marks" said Gohan.
"Are you going to put Pan in school with Chibi and Trunks" asked Selena.
"I have to get her registered" said Videl.
"Don't worry about it, I'll do it if you go register her there will be to many questions about it" said Selena.
The next morning Videl woke up early to finish her 3 page report on her mother. When she finally finished it she went to shower and get dressed in her usual mini skirt and t-shirt. She walked down stairs and found Mimi in the kitchen cooking breakfast, "good morning Videl I was wondering if I would have to come wake you this morning like usual" she said.
"Morning, I had to wake up earlier than usual to finish my report" said Videl.
"I see, well breakfast is ready, hurry and eat or you will be late" she said.
As Videl walked she was followed by the usual crowd of guys trying to catch her attention, hope she would drop something, or for her to look at them. She smirked when she remember when she had to threaten Gohan with no food when he came up with the idea of blasting them into the south realm. At times she felt like she should but knew that they was as harmless to her as a newborn baby is to its father. She walked to the school entrance and was met by Erasa, "hey sis I see you have the usual following" Erasa said.
"Unfortunately where is yours" asked Videl.
"I left out a little early this morning so I can get here before thy spotted me" said Erasa.
"Thats a good idea, to bad I can't just fly to school" Videl mumbled.
"That would cause to much a commotion with you never been seen leaving your house" said Erasa.
"I want to know how they found out I moved and where I moved to" said Videl.
"Have you forgotten your Videl Shisho Satan, your the closest thing to a goddess that can be, you can kill someone and you would get off without even a slap on the wrist" said Erasa.
"Yea from the people of this city, but mom would do a lot more than slap my wrist, plus it would be a bad influence on Pan" said Videl.
"True, lets go inside, I see the jocks coming up and we both don't need their nagging" said Erasa.
"I swear if that quarterback ask me out one more time i'm going to let Gohan blow him into the south realm" said Videl.
"Speaking of Gohan how is things between the two of you going" asked Erasa.
"They are going, where though I don't know, he seems afraid to ask me out" said Videl.
"I noticed that, any idea on how to get him to ask you" asked Erasa.
"A few, I'll try my first idea at lunch, but I need you to bring up Selena and Bardock in our conversation" said Videl.
"Consider it done" said Erasa.
"Good morning class" the science instructor said walking in the room, "is Mr. Son not here today" he asked.
"It doesn't look like it maybe the nerd decided to cut class" said Sharpner.
"Upperclassman Sharpner its not nice to talk about upperclassman Gohan like that he wouldn't skip class" said Bibi.
"Whatever" said Sharpner.
"Look like he is coming and he brought the new student I saw in the office with him" said Terri.
"Ok everyone quiet down, today we have 2 new students, the first is Gohan's little brother Demi, the second is Mirai Briefs, the son of Bulma Briefs" said the instructor.
"Did he have to mention that" grumbled Videl.
"Well at least he is in a class with friends" said Erasa.
"What you mean you two know them" said Sharpner.
"Yes the first one is Gohan's brother didn't you pay attention to the instructor, so of course we know him, and i'm personal friends and work for Bulma" said Videl.
"Hey Demi come sit by me" yelled Erasa.
"Hey stop flirting with the new guy and come flirt with me" yelled some random guy.
"Keep you mouth shut or I'll remove it" threatened Videl.
"Sorry Erasa" he mumbled. There was some giggles at him.
"Erasa where is he going to sit when you sit in between me and Sharpner" asked Videl.
"Sharpner can move down one seat" said Erasa.
"Fine with me the further away from him I am the better" said Videl.
"Vi-Vi stop being mean to Sharpie" said Erasa.
"Stop calling me that and no I will not move down" said Sharpner.
"Fine then meanie" pouted Erasa.
Lunch came around pretty fast for the students. They all sat at the normal table with the soccer team. Sharpner tried to sit as close to Videl as possible but was blocked by Gohan sitting on one side and Erasa sitting on the other side of her. He growled in annoyance at the super saiyan but didn't say nothing. He sat next to Mirai and joined in on their conversation, "so what is your record now girls" he asked.
"We are 6-3 and if we win our last game we can possible tie for the division if Raising Moon loses" said Terri.
"Ain't the next game against Raising Moon" asked Gohan.
Terri pulled out her soccer schedule, "your right so we have to win or else we don't make the playoffs and we lose the division for the 10 straight year" she said.
"Hey we are going to beat them, they will just try and get under our skin because they won the last 3 division championships but this year we are going to win" said Videl.
"Hey Videl if you girls win can I take you out" asked Sharpner.
"No Sharpner and stop asking me or I will seriously hurt you" said Videl.
"Ok time for a subject change, Vi-Vi how is crime fighting" asked Erasa.
All eyes at the table turned on her, "its fun, sometimes Selena and Bardock lets me fight the big crime lords with them, but only after they have taken all the weapons" said Videl.
"Thats great and all, but any news on Selena and Bardock last time you said Bardock was jealous she kept getting asked out" said Kim.
"Well don't say anything but Selena told me that she is tired of waiting for Bardock and if don't make a move fast he will lose all chances at her" said Videl.
"Really maybe she should wait longer and give him time to work up the courage" said Gohan.
"How long does he needs she been sending him all the signals he needs for the last few months" said Videl.
"Maybe he is afraid of getting rejected" said Gohan.
"What she flirts with him whenever she can, she even hinted a few times that she wants to date him" said Videl.
"Maybe she is to needy" said Gohan and immediately covered his mouth with his hands and tried to put together an apology.
"To needy" yelled Videl, she then got up and stormed out of the cafe.
"What just happened" asked Sharpner.
"Videl and Selena are great friends and when someone talks bad about Selena Videl gets mad" hurried out Mirai.
"Gohan you better let her cool down I'll go talk to her" said Erasa getting up and running after her. She found Videl on the roof crying, "don't be so mad Vi-Vi he didn't mean it" said Erasa wrapping her arms around Videl.
"He called me needy" cried out Videl.
"He is a guy, what do you expect" asked Erasa.
"Still he should know how I feel and he should have known that saying that would hurt me" said Videl.
"Don't let him get to you, he will see how much pain he is causing you and then he will know how stupid he was" said Erasa.
"Thanks sis" said Videl.
"Come on class is almost starting" Erasa then helped Videl up and guided her to the bathroom so she can make sure she got herself together before anyone saw her.
"Sis can you switch me seats" Videl yelled so Erasa can hear her outside the bathroom.
"Sure" Erasa yelled back.
Gohan, Mirai, and Demi was walking back to class they was silent, "I really screwed up didn't I" Gohan asked.
"I don't know much about having a girlfriend but I would say you did" said Mirai.
"I would say the only thing you can do is let her know how sorry you are and tell her that you really didn't mean what you said" said Demi.
"Thats the problem, Videl is my best friend and she knows I didn't mean it" said Gohan.
"I don't know maybe we can ask Erasa" said Mirai.
"Your right, there there she is, Erasa" yelled Demi.
"Yes" Erasa replied when they got up to her.
"How is Vi" asked Demi.
"Hurt, she knows that Gohan didn't mean what he said but it still hurt her for him to say it even if it was meant as a joke" said Erasa.
"I know what I said was wrong but how do I make it up to her" said Gohan with a hopeful look in his eyes.
"That I can't tell you Gohan it wouldn't mean the same if I told you what to do, but what ever you do make sure it comes from the heart and not just something to get back on Videl's good side" she advised him.
Gohan looked down in dejection, "how can I be so smart yet so stupid" he muttered.
"Don't worry Gohan, all will be better with time, now get to class me and VI-Vi will see you three there" said Erasa.
"Thank you sis" said Videl walking out the bathroom looking like her old self.
"No problem Vi-VI, now lets get to class" Erasa replied.
Videl and Erasa walked to class and sat with Erasa in the seat next to Gohan and Videl next to Sharpner. This surprised everyone in the room since, 1 Videl and Gohan was great friends and nothing besides Erasa could come between the two, and 2 Videl was sitting next to Sharpner and she has yet to beat him to a pulp.
"Vi-Videl" Gohan started.
"I don't want to hear it Gohan" she said before he could start talking.
He sighed and looked away, "don't worry to much Gohan, she is just hurt she don't hate you" said Erasa.
"I feel like i'm being shut off" he said.
"Hey Videl so you finally decided to stop playing games with the nerd and come get with a real man" Sharpner asked.
"Sharpner if you say one more thing to me I'll put you in the hospital" threatened Videl.
"Come on baby I know you want me, I totally understand that you don't want to say nothing in front of him" Sharpner said putting his arm around Videl.
Everyone in the class was shocked at what he just did. No one ever tried to put their arm around Videl and they all had the feeling that Sharpner would not be in school the rest of the week. Videl stiffened when his arm reached around her she slowly looked at him, down at his hand then back at his face, "please tell me I fell asleep in class" she said.
"Sorry baby I know I am dreamy but this is real" Sharpner boasted.
"Good that means you will feel this" said Videl.
"Feel what your going to kiss me in the middle of" he was cut off by Videl's hand going into his face and him flying across the room. She jumped up and all but flew across the room and punched him into the wall where he slowly slid down. She then proceeded to royally kick his ass. Everyones eyes widen at how badly she was beating him, "get her off him" Erasa yelled at Demi, Gohan, and Mirai.
The three reacted as soon as she said that and had to work together and use their saiyan strength to pull her off Sharpner., "Videl calm down" yelled Erasa.
"I'll calm down when he learns his lesson" said Videl.
"He did" said Erasa.
"The hell he did, I'll show him needy" said Videl trying to reach for Sharpner.
Beep Beep Beep 'Videl we have a robbery in progress at the super center' said the chef.
"Your lucky, now get off me before I beat you to Demi" threatened Videl. The moment the grips on his was loosened her took off out of the room.
Everything was quiet, "what did she mean by she will show him needy" asked a student.
"Nothing" Erasa said a little to quickly.
"She is that mad at me" asked Gohan.
"Gohan, what do you expect you called her needy" Erasa said quietly so only the three saiyan's could hear.
The instructor walked into the room, "hey sit down" he said. Once everyone was sitting down he looked where they was standing, "what happened to Sharpner, and where is Videl" he asked.
"Videl happened to him, and she was called away for a robbery" said Gohan.
"It wasn't Videl's fault he kept hitting on her and he put his arm around her" defended Erasa since Videl wasn't there to defend herself.
Later that day Bulma invited everyone to her house to announce that the three kids would enter the tournament that would take place in a few days. Everyone was there wondering where Videl was since she never returned to school, and her mother didn't see her after they stopped the robbery. Pan started to get sad and worried because she couldn't see Videl. Selena, Chi-Chi, Erasa, and Gohan did everything they could but nothing calmed down the sad 6 year old. When they was about to give up Pan got quiet and shot for the door and threw it open and tackled Videl in a hug. Everyone blinked at her, "what just happened" asked Erasa.
"I think Videl's here" said Selena.
"Good now we can tell everyone the good news" said Bulma.
Videl walked into the living room caring Pan, "sorry i'm late" was all she said as she sat down with Pan on her lap.
"Vi are you ok" asked 18.
"I'm fine" she replied.
"You sure" asked Yamcha, "you don't look to good" he finished.
"I said i'm fine" she snapped.
"Ok lets get on with why I had everyone come here" said Bulma.
"I'm letting Chibi enter the tournament thats in a few days" said Chi-Chi.
"Wow that is news" said Krillin.
"I'm also letting Trunks enter" said Bulma.
"Wow both of them is that a god idea" asked 18.
"There is more" said Bulma looking at Videl who wasn't paying attention.
"Um Vi-Vi are you going to tell them" said Erasa.
"Tell them what" asked Videl snapping out of her thoughts.
"The tournament" Erasa whispered.
"Oh right i'm letting my daughter enter also" she said.
"What she is to young I knew you needed a real man to help you make decisions, Gohan will let you do whatever you decide without an argument" Yamcha said almost putting his arm on her shoulder but was stopped by Erasa.
"No don't she is not herself right now, and you should not do anything or say anything she wouldn't like" she told him.
"What are you talking about" asked Yamcha.
"Trust me the last boy who tried what your trying to do had to be taken to the hospital and wont be able to leave for 10 days" said Erasa.
Videl gasped, "10 days, I couldn't have hurt Gohan that much" said Videl.
"Videl that wasn't Gohan you beat almost to death" said Mirai.
"What are you talking about why would Videl beat Gohan to death" asked Chi-Chi.
"If it wasn't Gohan then who was it and where is he" said Videl.
"It was Sharpner and Gohan is hiding behind dad and Vegeta" said Demi.
"Sharpner why would I do that to him I know I don't like him but I don't hate him" whispered Videl.
"Whats the last thing you remember" asked Erasa.
"He called me needy then I ran away and you found me" Videl told her.
"Well after me and you talked you asked me to switch you seats so you wont have to sit next to Gohan then Sharpner tried to hit on you again, we all tried to warn him but he wouldn't listen, then when he put his arm around you, you snapped and if it wasn't for Demi, Mirai, and Gohan you would have killed him" said Erasa.
Videl was shocked, she or no one else could believe what they heard, "i'm so sorry" she mumbled while rocking back and forth with Pan and crying.
"Ok we need to know what caused this" said Selena worried about her daughter, she was relieved when she saw that Pan was sleeping.
"Well we was at lunch talking then I asked Videl how crime fighting was going and she said it was good" Erasa started.
"Then one of the girls on the soccer team asked how things between Selena and Bardock was" sad Mirai.
"Videl said Selena was tired of waiting on Bardock to ask her out, then Videl and Gohan went back and forth nothing different than any other day they argue about Selena and Bardock" said Demi.
"Then I said she was needy but I meant it as a joke I didn't know she would take what I said so seriously" whispered Gohan.
"You what" yelled Chi-Chi, "Son Gohan have I not taught you better, you should know not to play like that" she yelled.
"I can't believe you would even say that as a joke Gohan, do you know how long she has actually waited for you to ask her out" said Selena. When he shook his head she started talking again, "well I'll tell you, she has been sending you signals that she likes you for the past 4 years, she has been waiting for you to ask her out for the past 3 and for you to say that even as a joke would devastate her to no end" she told him.
"I tried to tell her i'm sorry but she wont listen" said Gohan.
"Damn right I wont, you called me needy dammit, do you know how that makes me feel" Videl yelled out of nowhere.
"Um..." was all he could say.
"Of course you don't all you do is think about yourself, i'm going home and Gohan you better not try and follow me or talk to me" she said then got up with Pan and left.
"I have never seen her this mad" said Erasa, "she's scary when she is like this" she finished.
"Come Erasa and 18 we have to go after her she might need us to cry on" said Selena the three then walked out the building when 18 grabbed Erasa by the hand and took to the air following Videl.
"I don't know what to tell you Gohan, the best you can do right now is give her a few days to cool off then try and approach her, she should at least be willing to listen to you by Saturday when the tournament starts" said Bulma.
"Gohan I love you and i'm proud of you, but I am ashamed to say that i'm disappointed in what you did" said Chi-Chi.
"I know mom, but I didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't know saying that would make her hate me" said Gohan.
"Son she don't hate you at least not now, if she did she would have tried to kill you just now" said Chi-Chi.
"What can I do to let her know I didn't mean what I said" he asked a little depressed.
"I'm afraid until she at least starts to take notice of your presence again you can't do anything" said Bulma.
"If she is anything like your mom Gohan she will be mad at you for only a few days or so" said Goku.
"Wow your the dumbest saiyan brat ever" commented Vegeta.
"Vegeta leave him alone he already feels bad as it is" said Bulma.
"And he should, what would you do if I called you needy in front of your friends like he did even if it was a joke" replied Vegeta.
Bulma started to say something then paused, "Vegeta did you just defend Videl" was all she could think to say, knowing that he was right on the point about Gohan.
"I'm a saiyan we make fun of other saiyan's stupid mistakes and nothings more humiliating then your mate or future mate, cutting ties with you in front of your family and other saiyan's" said Vegeta.
The three woman that went to comfort Videl followed her into her house and watched as she tucked Pan into bed. They then walked into the living room and sat on the couch no one saying anything. Videl looked like she was trying her hardest not to cry again from what Gohan said but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get the words, 'Maybe she is t needy' out of her head. Finally she asked, "am I really needy" it was more as a question to herself than anything else. Then she burst out crying again this time she threw herself to her mother for comfort.
"Shh its ok baby mommy is here, don't worry about nothing he said, your not needy he is just stupid" said Selena while rubbing her back.
"This is just like the scene when Videl first met Pan" 18 commented.
"Like mother like daughter" suggested Erasa.
"Can one of you bring me some tissues" asked Selena.
"Why did he have to say it out loud, even if he thinks i'm needy couldn't he just kept it to himself, but no the ever so smart Gohan had to say it in front of all our friends at school" cried out Videl.
"Come on Vi-Vi its not like anyone knew he was talking about you, only me, Demi, and Mirai knew who he was talking about" reasoned Erasa.
"Still he said it out loud, now everyone is going to think Selena is needy, and i'm her so in turn everyone will think i'm needy" said Videl.
"That logic is confusing" confessed Erasa.
"You know what I mean" yelled Videl.
"Shh sweetie don't be so loud or you will wake up my granddaughter" said Selena.
"She is my daughter and I put her to sleep" snapped Videl.
"Sorry I didn't mean it like that" defended Selena.
"Don't worry she been snapping at everyone since Gohan called her needy" said Erasa.
"Maybe you should stay home the next few days until you decide you want to face Gohan again" suggested 18.
"I think I will" said Videl.
"What about your school work" asked Selena.
"Mom I get straight 'A' and have one of the 3 highest GPA's in the school" said Videl.
"Right behind Gohan and in front of me" said Erasa.
"Can you do the coaching for the team this week" asked Videl.
"Of course but don't forget Friday is the final game, the one that decide if we tie for the devision or not against Raising Moon High" said Erasa.
"I wont" said Videl.
