So I am going to dedicate my next chapter to her and I would also like to make a special thanks to KKsayiancat, that gave me the brilliant idea for this chapter.
Gohan stood in the door way nervously as one by one his friends sat down on the sofa each grabbing their own assortment of alcohol and opening their bottles/can's, they began taking casual sips chatting ideally amongst themselves about what could be awaiting them over the next few days, oblivious to Gohan's discomfort. It was Eresa who realised the Demi-Sayian absents from the group, the blond hair girl stood up bottle of Smirnoff ice in hand over to the tall boy.
"Hay Gohan what's up, why aren't you drinking?" Eresa asked with genuine curiosity.
The son boy flashed the girl with a nervous grin, not sure of the way to answer the simple question, Gohan decided honesty was the best way to go.
"Errm well basically I've never had a drink before and I am kind of nervous about what my mum would say if she found out that I did, she doesn't approve of it"
"What! You never had a drink before" Sharpener cried out indecently, spilling beer all down his jeans causing a suspect stain.
Videl uncharacteristically burst out laughing upon seeing the stain on jean's before scolding herself for being so childish. Lime merely nodded at Shapener before responding at the boy's out cry.
"Gohan never drink's I tried to get his to try some on my eighteenth birthday party, but Chi-chi spotted and smashed the bottle on the floor before telling Gohan he could not drink. What was it now ? …. Oh yes the liquid of Satan she called it"
"wow she's even toughier on drinking than my dad fancy calling alcohol the liquid of the devil hay " Videl spoke out to no one in particular, taking a sip from her fosters can as she finished.
"Actually I think she was talking about your dad"
This new information caused Videl to spit out the drink she had in her mouth. Ingnoring his friends chocking and spluttering behind him. Sharpener looked his friend dead in his eyes causing Gohan to feel incredible uneasy.
"Listen nerd boy you need to stop being a momma's boy and man up abit nobody's here's going to tell her you have had a drink. Also Bulma's the one that gave us the alcohol so I'm sure she's fine with you drinking and won't tell your mum that you've been drinking. So sit down relax and enjoy yourself." Sharpener spoke firmly before tossing a can at Gohan, the latter caught the can effortlessly only to begin to stare at the object nervously.
"Well jezzz I'm still not sure Sharpener I just think…." Gohan was cut off by Eresa's fingers on his lips. The touch from the girl sent a wired chill up the Sayians.
"Shh silly, now be a good boy sit down and enjoy yourself ok"
Gohan obeyed the girl's orders and sat down with his friends before cracking open the can, he started at the golden liquid before taking a sip. His face cringed as the burning liquid scortched his throat. The Demi- Sayian read the name of the Beverage on the label; it read Stella.
One hour later on the look out.
The tall Namic Piccolo stood crossed armed looking out across the night's sky a frown etched across his face, He was concerned over the safety and well being of his old student and dearest friend Gohan. Over the past hour, Piccolo had felt his formers student's Ki rise and fall inconsistently and could feel a constant change in the Demi-Sayian's emotions rangeing from overly happy to depression as if his mind was being attacked by some being.
The Namic had chosen not to interfere so far noting that Vegeta was near by to help if Gohan was indeed being attacked by some new strange foe. he also knew that Gohan wanted to keep his exploits in the Cell games a secret from the world and the green man from the Cell turning up in front of a crowed of students to cheek up on Gohan would surly set alarm bell ringing.
With all this logical thinking however Piccolo could not shake off the feeling that something was seriously wrong with Gohan. To reassure himself The Namic did another Ki sweep over the Capsule Corp area for any new or unusual Ki's. a practice he had participated in many times already. After Piccolo reassured himself that their was no new unusual Ki that could cause Gohan's behaviour to change so dramatically and Ki to rise and fall as irrational as it was. The Namic began to relax until a new and more terrifying thought entered his mind.
Remembering back seven years ago how himself and the rest of the Z fighters where unable to sense the androids of Doctor Gero. Piccolo cursed himself for not thinking of this theory before. Their was of course nine androids unaccounted for with the first seven before number eight being destroyed or reused for spare parts by Gero himself, Sixteen being destroyed by Cell and android seventeen and eighteen turning to the side of good. However their was no sign of any other androids when the Z fighters searched the derelict remains of Doctor Gero's lab. Though that didn't necessarily mean they were destroyed in the explosion caused. Their had been blue prints found in the notes Bulma used to create the remote to deactivate the androids that provide shocking reading. One of which andriod twelve who not only produced no life energy, but also had the ability to manipulate the emotions of his opponent until they broken mentally.
Worry grew in Piccolo's heart he could no longer wait around on the look out hopping that if their was a threat Vegeta would take care of it. With a primal roar the Namic took off into the Night sky ready for battle.
Back at Capsule Corp Piccolo's fears appeared to be unfounded as the different extremes of emotions he felt in the Demi- Sayian was a side effect of the alcohol beverage he consumed. The Demi-Sayian in question was currently arguing with Videl over his ability to fly.
"You can't fly Gohan don't be stupid that's the alcohol talking" Videl slurred out in frustration
"No I can and I can prove it" With that Gohan flew up into the air and began to bubble over the heads of his friends all of whom began to loo up at the Demi-Sayian in awe.
"Just how how did you do that bro?" Sharpener exclaimed in surprised before turning back to the laptop he was on. "I am going to frape Videl good this time" He giggled to himself.
After doing a lap around the room, Gohan's stomach began to feel incredible uneasy and he promptly retired to the bath room to throw up.
"Do you think he will be ok" Eresa hiccupped in concern.
"He will be fine, he's dealt with worse" Lime slurred before dropping the bottle of Malibu out of her hand.
A load knock sounded around the room, Sharpener stood up from his laptop and walked somewhat gingerly to the door to their room. He opened it to find a rather tall green man standing in front of him.
"Errm hay big green" Shapener slurred blissfully unaware of the fact that their was an alien in front of him. "what do you want?"
"I want you to tell me where Gohan is now!" Piccolo growled.
"Yo chill out big green why do you want to find Gohan?"
Piccolo did not have time for the simple question time was of the essence he had to find his old student before his already dwindling Ki flashed out of existence. So the Namic took the quickest rout into the room, a chop to the neck was all it took to knock the blonde boy out cold. Sharpeners body fell like a ton of bricks to the floor alerting the attention of the others.
Videl took one look at the situation and reacted immediately she charged at Sharpeners attacker fist raised ready to strike. The Namic dodge and sent a non lethal chop to the young girls neck no point in wasting valuable energy on weak minions of the android he reasoned.
Piccolo then looked around the room taking in his surroundings when he heard a strange flushing sound coming from a different room ignoring the two other cowering girls in the room. The Namic walked up to the door and lowered into a fighting stand as the door began to creep open. He strike the occupant square in the face smashing them back on to the toilet seat they were sitting on moments ago.
"What the hell Piccolo?" Gohan cried out angrily, standing up the angry Demi-Sayian pushed past Piccolo and into the room. His eyes moved from the two cowering girls, to Videls and then Sharpeners motionless bodies. As quick as a flash Gohan cheeked his two friends pulse. Satisfied they where alive he turned to face his former mentor. Awaiting an explanation.
"Where's the android did you defeat it ?" Piccolo asked in his harsh voice.
"What andriod?"
The one that attacked you"
"Wait what?"
Several long embarrassing moments passed between the two warriors, all that could be heard was Eresa muffle cries of I will never drink again.
"Their was no android was their" The Namic spoke more to himself more than anyone in particular.
"No what would make you think that an android was attacking me?" Gohan asked bemused.
"Because your Ki and emotions kept changing constantly over the last hour almost as if you were in a fight for you life, I couldn't sense any other Ki in your presence that could cause this so I presumed that it was a foe that did not give of a Ki signature like doctor Gero's androids. "
Their was several more long moments as Gohan's alcohol induced brain figured out what exactly the Namic was saying.
"I wasn't being attack, what you were sensing where the after affects of drinking alcohol" To illustrate his point further Gohan tossed a bottle of vodka at the Namic who looked down at the drink for a few moments before looking back up.
"Your mother told you that it was not good to drink Gohan, I surgest you take her advice in the future." With that Piccolo burst though the balcony and into the nights sky a visible blush of embarrassment etched across his cheeks.
