Panting like a mad man. �You�� he sneered. �You!� Everyone in the room jumped back. Hercule took a step towards the dance floor, shaking with rage. �What are YOU doing CAVORTING WITH MY DAUGHTER!?� Goku looked up from eating a drumstick. He had sauce smeared across his face and on his nice shirt Chi-Chi had cleaned and pressed. �What�s cavorting?� Gohan ignored his father, focusing on Hercule. Tugging at his collar nervously, he began to speak. �Hold on� I- I- I can explain everything!� Gohan stammered. �You better! You messy-haired skinny geek-freak that�s hanging out with my daughter!� Videl looked at her father with utter contempt and placed her hand on a crestfallen Gohan�s arm. Hercule decided to ignore that. There was maniacal laughter from the back of the room. Hercule turned around to find out who dared to think this situation was funny. Vegeta stood against the wall, arms crossed, watching the whole scene, absolutely cracking up. Hercule looked over at him. �What�s so funny?� He pressed. �Nothing,� Vegeta said, laughing again. �It just seems right that a weakling human should be with a third class Saiyan�s runt offspring,� Vegeta said, stating it as if it were a well known fact. Gohan looked at Vegeta, clearly mad. �You idiot! No one knows about that!� Vegeta ignored him and continued. �I mean� your daughter is literally spending her time with the epitome of Saiyan dirt.� �WHAT THE HELL�S A SAIYAN!?� Hercule yelled. Goku again looked up from eating. �Vegeta�s blowing things out of proportion,� He said, swallowing. He began talking again matter-of-factly, �Gohan�s only half Saiyan so don�t worry. You see, Vegeta and I were the only Saiyans that survived planet Vegeta blowing up� well, at least the only ones alive now, and-� �ARE YOU SAYING THE GUY THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS DANCING WITH IS AN ALIEN?� Goku stood up. �No! He�s only half alien. Geez!� Gohan�s head dropped. Shit. And in front of the whole school, too. �What Kakarott neglected to mention-� Vegeta began. �VEGETA!� Bulma yelled. �That is quite enough from you! Now stop or no gravity chamber.� Vegeta slumped and then fumed out the door. Bulma looked at everyone politely and smiled. �Excuse me, his royal highness is extremely pissed.� "Royal highness?" Someone questioned. Goku nodded. "Yup, he's the prince of Saiyans." Hercule turned to Gohan. �Are you an alien and are going out with my daughter?� He asked him gruffly. Gohan put his hands up defensively. �Yes, I am and no I'm not! We�re just dancing. I promise! I didn�t have any other intent in mind!� At that moment, Krillin stepped out from the crowd, clearing his throat. Oh, Shit. Gohan thought again. �I�m sorry, but that�s not exactly true Gohan� I just have to say that I have always thought that Videl and Gohan, my best friend�s son, have liked each other more than they�re letting on.� �Krillin! What are you doing?� Gohan asked. Krillin smirked at him. �Throwing gas on the flame.� �I hate you.� Gohan said. Hercule was shaking his head. �You don�t have to tell me that, shorty. I walked in on them kissing while they were suppose to be studying!� �Gohan is this true?� Chi-Chi asked. �Um� well�� Goten piped up. �Yeah! He said he liked her �more than just friends�!� �Heh� heh� Like I said� I can explain everything!� Gohan responded quickly. Trunks walked over. �This may not be any of my business, but when I spent the night at Goten�s house, Gohan mentioned the name �Videl� a few times in his sleep.� �Okay, I can�t explain that�� Hercule stormed over to Gohan and grabbed his shoulder. �That�s IT, you�re-� He was stopped as Videl squeezed in between them. �Dad, stop!� Hercule shook his head. �Look. You�re my daughter, the daughter of HERCULE! And here you are� pleading for this alien bas-� �Dad, please!� �NO!� Hercule yelled, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her out of the way. Before anyone could see it, Gohan blasted into Super Saiyan and grabbed Hercule�s arm. �Don�t touch her,� Gohan spat out. He looked eye to eye with Hercule. Hercule�s face was one of absolute terror. �AHHH! It�s- it�s- it�s one of the guys with the powers�from the Cell Games!� Everyone looked at him questioningly. �That�s right,� Gohan affirmed, grabbing Hercule by the collar and pressing him against the wall. �And I�m serious when I say don�t hurt Videl. Let her do what she wants. Can�t you see that she�s grown into a beautiful young woman�� Gohan looked over at Videl and everyone followed his gaze. ��who doesn�t need you telling her what she can and can�t do? You�ve already dominated her life with fighting� do you also have to decide who she's allowed to like�� Gohan released Hercule. �� or maybe�love?� Gohan finished, dropping Hercule and powering down. He walked over to Videl and looked at her, disheartened. �I�m sorry,� he said. And as everyone watched, he turned to leave. But, to everyone�s surprise, and Hercule�s extreme displeasure, Videl stopped him. �What?� Videl whispered to Gohan, aware that every eye in the room was on the couple as if they were some sort of soap opera. �What did you mean by�who she's allowed to �love�?� Goha looked at her. �Nevermind.� �Well, I do mind and I�m not letting you leave until you tell me!� �Fine Videl!� Gohan said raising his voice.. �I love you! Is everyone happy now? YES! I�m an alien! And YES! I�m in love with you!� Videl smiled the biggest smile Gohan had ever seen her wear. She was practically glowing with joy. �Wha-? I thought that-� Gohan said softly, stopping when Videl knelt beside him, putting her arms around his neck. �I- I love you, too, Gohan� and I can�t think of any�� Videl didn�t continue, but closed her eyes and moved her face closer to his. They kissed and some people started crying and some laughing and some cheering. Goten on the other hand� �NO KISSY KISSY AT FORMAL PARTIES!� Goten screeched as Trunks made noises like he was going to throw up. �I have to agree,� Goku seconded. �I don�t mind,� Krillin said, evil in his eyes. Erasa was fanning herself. Shapner was wearing a look of disbelief. �WOHO! Way to go, man!� He shouted out to Gohan. �Finally, someone who can kiss Videl without getting slapped!� Sharpner turned to Goten. �THAT is �more than just friends�,� he explained. �THAT is disgusting!� Trunks exclaimed. The headline in the following day�s newspaper read: CITY�S FAMOUS DAUGHTER FINDS LOVE FROM THE STARS ~owari *** It moved kind of fast and was short but... what the hell... that's how I write these. Now I'll have to find some new adventures to write about. Or maybe I'll do like an interview of the Z-Team or something... I'm going to be really bored though! What to do... What to do... |
