Me: YAY another chapter. I have ideas flowing now because of people giving me awesome ideas.
Goku: Yay ideas.
Me: You lied Goku. There was no muffin button! *get's out Chichi's frying pan*
Goku: I'm sorry! Please don't hit me!
Me: NEVER! *Hits Goku until he's unconscious* That'll teach him not to lie about a muffin button. I just want to apologise to anyone I may offend since I have some stereotyping. I know that these stereotypes are not always true so yeah, just letting you know.
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ as we all know. Enjoy chapter 19
The group had made it about three quarters of the way to the campsite before they once again had to stop and rest. Many of the students were complaining about how hard the walk was and the fact that their clothing was getting dirty. They had all stopped to rest by a clearing with trees that almost everyone had decided to lean against.
"I'm so hungry. We've been walking for like 5 hours or something and I haven't had any food since breakfast," a blonde cheerleader complained.
"I know what you mean Sarah. How can they make us walk so far without any food or water? Not to mention we have to carry our heavy bags with us. I think they are trying to kill us all," a brunette in a short skirt and tight fitting sky blue top said to the blonde.
"How can they treat us like this Amy? We should not have to walk around a forest like this. They are so rude to the pretty people," Sarah replied to her friend, flipping her long hair behind her right shoulder.
"Those girls are so self-centred, don't you think?" Videl asked Gohan. They were standing by a tree near the two cheerleaders, not feeling the least bit tired.
"I guess, but I can see where they are coming from about the food. I'm hungry too," the teen said slowly with a smile.
The sapphire eyed girl laughed at her boyfriend, "Gohan you're always hungry. If I didn't know any better I would seriously think your stomach was an actual black hole."
The two continued to laugh until they heard a loud boom sounding in the middle of the clearing they were in. The group looked at where the noise had come from, all whining ceased when they saw a huge dust cloud. Both Goku and Gohan tensed up at the unfamiliar ki they were sensing and ran over to where the dust cloud was, which by now was beginning to settle.
Once the dust had finally settled down what they saw surprised them. In the middle of the clearing was a small crater that had been caused by an aircraft crashing. At least everyone thought it was some kind of aircraft but on further inspection they realised it was actually some type of human controlled robot. But what surprised everyone the most was what stepped out of the robot type thing.
The door opened to reveal a small blue creature with pointed ears, kind of like an elf of sorts. The creature wore a blue and red hat, had a top with light olive green sleeves and a black body with a red symbol in a white circle on the front. As the creature walked forwards, Goku had a strange sense of déjà vu.
The two look at each other in wonder before asking in unison, "don't I know you from somewhere?"
Gohan looked between his father and the strange blue creature in confusion. "Who are you and how could you have met my dad before?" Gohan asked suspiciously, squinting his eyes at the new comer.
"I am emperor Pilaf. I don't even know how I know this man you say is your father. I just think I know him from somewhere, he looks familiar somehow," the blue creature stated.
"Hmm Pilaf, where have I heard that name before?" Goku thought out loud to himself, scrunching his face. "I'm Goku by the way."
"G-G-Goku? That little brat that stopped me from gathering to dragon balls not once but twice? The kid that turned into a giant ape and destroyed my castle?" Pilaf exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh yeah that's right. I destroyed your castle?"
"You don't even remember?"
"Nope. I blanked out when I transformed like that," Goku said honestly.
Whilst Pilaf and Goku were talking, something completely out of the ordinary appeared in front of Gohan. Standing before the demi-saiyan was a giant black forest cake, making the teen begin to drool.
'Why in the world is there a giant cake in front of me? Oh well, not like I'm going to complain. If this was Dende's doing then perhaps it's a blessing in disguise,' Gohan thought.
-On the lookout-
"The cake is not a lie Gohan. But it is not at all what you think it is," the green Namekian smirked.
"Are you teaching Gohan the pecking order Dende?" Mr. Popo asked.
"I guess you could say that."
-Gohan-
The cake began to roll on its side and appeared to be missing a slice, making it look like Pacman. Strangely enough the cake made its way over to Gohan, like it was going to attack him. Gohan not expecting anything like this to happen, was caught off guard as the cake landed on top of him. The demi-saiyan was surprised to say the least by the weight of the cake, which felt like he was being crushed under a pyramid or something and the fact that the cake attacked him.
Gohan pushed the cake off of him and stood up with a very confused look on his face. 'I don't know what's going on but surely stopping this thing will be a piece of cake. Hahaha I just made a terrible pun to myself. I guess the best way to stop this cake is to blow it to pieces and eat it. Or I could just pin it down and eat it. Either way is good to me,' Gohan thought.
Once again the cake launched itself at Gohan, only this time the teen was prepared for the attack. Gohan grabbed hold of the cake with a vice like grip and chomped down hard, easily taking a large bite out of the cake. The giant screamed in pain at each bite Gohan took out of it until it was nothing more than a few crumbs on the ground. Everyone stared at the teen with surprise and jealousy at the fact that he just ate a whole giant, monster cake on his own.
"Well that escalated quickly," Videl mumbled.
"Aww Gohan. Why didn't you save any for me?" Goku whined.
"One, it attacked me and two you were too busy to even notice until it was too late," Gohan snapped at his childish father.
"I think I will be going now. Bye," Pilaf said running off to his robot thing and disappearing from sight in seconds.
"I wonder what his rush was. Oh well should we get going again?" the orange clad man asked the students.
There was a chorus of groans from almost all of the students. By this stage Gohan was pissed off and was tired of his classes attitudes.
"Be thankful that we are stopping for you. If you want to get food and rest for as long as you damn well want then get off your lazy asses and walk the rest of the 5 kilometres without stopping. Even my little brother can make these distances without complaints and he's only 7!"
"But you're just some kind of super freak. I bet your brother is just the same," Sarah commented snobbishly.
"I can handle it when people make remarks about me, but no one makes fun of my family!" Gohan yelled, frightening the students and making Sarah cower in fear.
"GOHAN! CALM DOWN!" Goku ordered his son, latching onto his arms to prevent him from attacking anyone.
"You know something dad, you staying in Otherworld for seven years was hard on all of us. Maybe if you came back we wouldn't be in this position. Maybe I wouldn't get angry like this. I do know one thing though," Gohan said freeing himself from his fathers grip and turning to him with a dark glare, "I would have had no reason to hate you or feel as guilty for what happened. Goten would have actually grown up with a father and we may have actually been quite happy."
Gohan clenched his fists tight preparing to vent his frustrations on his father. Goku knowing what his son was going to do got into a defensive stance, not wanting to hurt his son if need be. Videl looked on with wide eyes and knew that she had to calm Gohan down somehow. She ran up behind Gohan and wrapped her arms around his stomach, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Gohan stop. Please don't do this. This isn't the Gohan I know and love," Videl began to sob into Gohan's back.
The anger that was previously in Gohan's eyes faded into love and compassion and he relaxed his muscles, letting his hands drop to his sides. He gently pulled Videl's arms off him and turned around to look her in the eyes.
"I'm sorry Videl. Everything is just getting to me and this saiyan side is really uncontrollable. You're the only one that can calm me down when I get like that. I guess we have proof that you are my mate after all, since only a saiyans mate can calm them down like you just did," Gohan whispered soothingly, wiping away the tears on Videl's cheeks.
Videl looked into her boyfriend's eyes and smiled at how soft and reassuring they looked. The two embraced each other, Videl burying her head into Gohan's chest, feeling completely at ease. Goku smiled at how happy the two looked with each other, even after his own son almost tried to beat the shit out of him.
When the two released each other they looked at surprised looks on the students faces. "You two are in a relationship?" Amy asked stunned.
Gohan and Videl looked at each other and nodded, answering an unasked question.
"Yes. We had planned on not telling everyone but I guess due to certain circumstances we didn't have much of a choice than to let everyone know," Videl answered.
"But he's so cute and not to mention strong and you're just a tomboy who has no sense of fashion whatsoever. How can someone like you end up with someone like Gohan?" Sarah backed her friend up, gaining confidence.
"Maybe Gohan doesn't like selfish girls that would date him because of how he looks and not because they like the true him. Plus we're both fighters and we can trust each other with anything," Videl smirked, gaining the upper hand of the argument.
"Hmph," was Sarah and Amy's reply.
"Okay, now that that's all settled, let's get a move on to the campsite so we can all eat before it gets dark," called Goku from behind Gohan and Videl.
The teens all nodded and stood up. They managed to get to the campsite much quicker than what they would have since they picked up the pace and had no more rests. What they saw when they reached the campsite astounded them. A long river flowed in the middle of pebbled banks. The cabins that the students were to be sleeping in had been set up in a grassy patch nearby the river, far enough that they didn't have any chance of getting wet or cold from any water that could possibly spray into the cabin.
"Alright students listen up. Each cabin can have four people sleep in it. No one of the opposite sex is allowed to enter or share the cabin. I have a list of who will be in which cabin and I want all of you to abide by these rules," Mr. Creed announced importantly.
The students all found out who their cabin buddies would be and headed over to get settled in, whilst Goku went fishing to feed the group. Everything seemed peaceful for the time being, but nothing can stay peaceful forever.
