CHAPTER 2
(The Mall, The Tuxedo, and the enemy)
Gohan opened his eyes slightly to let the morning sun take its effect. Then the smell of Bacon, Eggs, Sausage, French toast, Pancakes and many other breakfast creations came to his nose. The scent beckoning to him come and feast. Gohan let his Saiyajin instincts takeover and moved into the kitchen. To his surprise Videl was happily humming a tune and frying eggs in pan. Gohan looked at the sight before him, a huge pile of mouth-watering food lie on the table.
'Wow Videl, I didn't know you were such a great cook!!' Gohan chimed after taste testing a portion of food.
Videl took notice of Gohan who just got there. 'It's no big deal; I do this for a hobby. One of my father's personal chefs went to a special culinary school and he taught me some tips to cook properly for home economics class.' Videl said.
'Well at least you now know you have a future as a professional chef, if you even decide to become one that is.' Gohan said with a mouthful of breakfast.
Goten and Goku surprisingly picked up the scent of food a bit later then Gohan as they both stormed into the kitchen yelling 'FOOD!!!' Goku and his miniature began to scarf down on everything and anything they could see on the table in a race.
Chi-Chi walked into the kitchen in her morning robe shortly after. 'GOKU!!! GOTEN!!! Where are your table manners!' Chi-Chi yelled watching the way her husband and son where eating.
'Sorry!' the two said in unison and they began to each to eat a bit more civilize then before.
'This is really good Videl' Goten said with a happy smile.
'If you marry Gohan and become my sister could you cook for me all the time, please?' Goten chirped out with glee.
Gohan blushed at the remark and Videl lost concentration of cooking breakfast and she flung a pancake into the air with a spatula and it smacked into Goku's face by accident. This caused Chi-Chi and Goten to laugh hysterically. Goku just inhaled the pancake attached to his face into his mouth and continued to eat his breakfast.
Videl just coughed and said 'I don't know about that but whenever I come over to visit I'd be more than happy to cook for you.' Trying to change the subject of He and Videl getting married Gohan began to speak
'I'm gonna go upstairs to take a shower and get ready, we have a busy day ahead of us Videl.'
Goten let his curiosity set in and said 'Why, Where you guys going?'
'Me and Videl are going to Satan City Shopping mall to look for a Dress and Tuxedo for the upcoming Prom.' Gohan explained to his brother.
'So does that mean you and Videl are going to that dance together and then have sex afterwards?'
Goku and Chi-Chi turned blue and fell over anime style, while Gohan and Videl blushed furiously.
Gohan yelled 'Who gave you that idea Goten!!'
'Well mom was talking to Trunks mom about the prom and I was there and I know about the other stuff from watching TV.'
Chi-Chi looked at her youngest son and said 'No more TV for you a week, you shouldn't be watching that kind of material.'
Goten just frowned and ran up to his room on the verge of tears. After finishing her breakfast Videl went upstairs to the bathroom to freshen up and to prepare for the day. She knocked on the door to see if anyone was in there.
Gohan said 'I'll be out in a minute' Videl waited for Gohan to finish outside the bathroom. Suddenly the Bathroom door swung open and Videl froze as she saw Gohan wearing nothing put a towel around his waist. Gohan didn't realize Videl was the one waiting to use the bathroom and began to blush the deepest shade of red. Videl covered her eyes and signaled Gohan to leave. Gohan took this opportunity to go to his room to save himself from further embarrassment.
"I can't believe I saw him like that," Videl thought, as she couldn't get the sight of the half naked Gohan out of her head. A fluttery feeling began to invade her stomach.
"With a body like that no wonder the girls where drooling over him during PE." She thought to herself. Videl striped her self from her clothes and turned on the shower letting the hot water run down her body. After washing her self she quickly moved into the guestroom and put on a clean pair of clothes. Videl still trying to set her mind on what kind of prom dress she wanted, hoping thoughts of Gohan’s muscular build in nothing but a bathroom towel would slip away. Someone knocked on her door.
‘Who is it’ Videl called out.
‘It’s me Gohan, I just wanted to let you know I’m ready to leave for the mall and I’ll be outside waiting for you when you done preparing.’
‘Alright.’ Videl replied. Videl combed her hair setting it nice and straight.
“I’ll keep my hair down today” Videl thought to herself deciding not to put into the two pigtails she usually keeps it.
(A/N: Videl did cut her hair before the Majin Buu Saga. I have it in this story where she let her hair grow out really long to about her waist. Besides I thought she looked a lot better when her hair was longer anyways. Sorry for the interruption, so back to the story.)
After Videl got herself ready, she ran down the stairs and out of the Son residence to meet up with Gohan.
‘Let’s go’ Videl called out but Gohan seem not to hear her as if he wasn’t in the world. Gohan completely zoned out when he saw Videl with her hair flowing down to her waist. The thing that brought out her beauty the most was her cerulean blue eyes. Gohan thought she was and Angel sent from the heavens. He never saw her hair down like this before.
Gohan unconsciously said ‘You should keep you hair down more often Videl, It makes you look so beautiful.’ Videl turned slightly pink in a blush from his words. Gohan then snapped back to reality without realizing what he said to her and said
‘Alright let’s go to the mall.’
Videl then replied to him ‘Do you really think I look pretty with my hair down?’
‘Huh!?’ Gohan said not fully comprehending what she meant by that until it hit him. Gohan blushed madly and then said
‘I can’t believe I thought out enough for you to hear that!’
Gohan and Videl both took flight heading in the direction to the Satan city-shopping district.
‘Sharpner and Erasa said they would meet us where we usually land when we go to school’ Videl said.
Gohan nodded his head in confirmation.
‘My if it isn’t Mr. and Ms. Saiyaman!!’ Sharpner said with a bit of arrogance in his voice.
‘Pipe down Sharpner, I don’t want anymore people to know then the ones that already know.’ Gohan said.
‘It doesn’t really matter anyway. Half the whole world already knows that your Saiyaman from when you revealed yourself at the Tenchikai Budoukai Tournament from watching it on TV anyways.’ Sharpner said.
‘Ahh, Never mind.’ Gohan said.
‘So where are we off too first?’ Gohan spoke.
‘Well Videl and me are going to pick out dresses so we will most likely be at the Fashion Stop. So after we’re done shopping we should all meet up here.’ Erasa said.
Videl and Erasa left and began their search for Prom dresses while Gohan and Sharpner went together looking for a Tux’s.
‘So where should we go first?’ Gohan asked.
Sharpner let a smile form into an evil grin and began to speak ‘Gohan my boy. We have to make sure your looking sharp on prom night so this calls for some desperate measures.’
Sharpner grabbed Gohan by the collar of his shirt and dragged him into one of the most expensive clothing stores in Satan City Mall but Gohan didn’t know the difference. Gohan followed Sharpner into the store and looked at all the different kinds of men’s clothing, it until his eye finally found what he was looking for. A large sign hung on a wall saying
‘Men’s Formal Wear’ Gohan began to look at all of the selections available. All of the Tuxedo’s looked nice but the one that stood out the most was one with a Royal Blue cummerbund with silver swirls, It looked very elegant.
Gohan looked at the price tag
“$300 zenni!! That’s a little pricey” Gohan thought out loud.
‘But this is the one I want.’ He said.
‘Hmm let see how much mom gave me to spend.’ Gohan said while checking his wallet
“What!! She gave me $700 zenni!!” He thought to himself.
‘She must have borrowed money off of Bulma. Geez, Bulma and my Mom must be desperate trying to hook Videl and Me up.
‘Sharpner check this one out!!’ Gohan called.
Sharpner walked over to Gohan and looked at the Tuxedo Gohan was checking out.
‘You’ve got to be nuts if you think you can afford something like that!!’ Sharpner said while snickering.
Gohan waved a wad of money in front of Sharpner’s face and Sharpner went bug eyed.
‘Gohan If I were you I’d get this tux as fast as I can!!’ Sharpner said coolly after regaining him composure.
‘Good I got my Tuxedo, now how about you pick out something.’ Gohan said.
“DAMMIT!! If Gohan got something this nice to were to the prom now I never be able to impress the girls better than Gohan.” Sharpner thought to himself.
Gohan looked over all of Sharpner’s idea for his tux and then said.
‘Look Sharpner, if you don’t have enough to pick out a Tux you like how about you get something similar to mine and I’ll pay the difference. Gohan suggested.
“Great, Now all I have to do is pick out a tux to match my already charming looks and then the girls will definitely come to me instead of gawk at Gohan, Heh this is better than I imagined.” Sharpner thought to himself.
Sharpner picked out a Tux with Lavender color vest made of silk.
‘Good choice, I’m quite sure Erasa would like that one.’ Gohan said as both He and Sharpner walked to the dressing room to try their tuxedos on. Gohan looked at himself in the mirror and was impressed at what he saw.
‘My Kami, Gohan, dress up more often, I can’t wait to show you off at the prom.’ A familiar female voice called out.
Gohan looked up to the mirror and saw Videl and Erasa in the reflection behind his.
Sharpner came out of the dressing stall and took a good look at himself in the mirror.
‘Ooh, Who’s the cutie’ Erasa said. Sharpner turned around to see who said that. Sharpner saw Erasa and Videl with large bags in their hands.
‘Wow, That was fast, I’m surprised you picked out the dresses for the prom that fast.’ Sharpner said.
‘My dress is white and Videl’s dress is a Royal Blue, Good thing Videl and Gohan will look great together at the prom with matching colors.’ Erasa said.
‘And white goes with anything so my Tux will go great with your dress’ Sharpner added.
The four teenagers went to the cashier after Gohan and Sharpner changed into their normal clothes to pay for their Tuxedos. While Gohan and his friends sat at the local food court in the Mall little did they know they where being observed by an unknown force.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unknown Man: Is that the one Vaelshar?
Vaelshar: Yes she is our target, but she doesn’t realize the power she possesses inside her body Lord Chalykris.
Lord Chalykris peered through the crystal ball that was used to watch and observe the one that would grant him what he desires.
Chalykris: What are the requirements to be able to claim her and to take her inner power for myself?
Vaelshar: That I do not know exactly, but according to my visions it will be within one week from now when we will know what the prerequisite is to give you what you desire.
Chalykris: Very well, but if your prediction is false. You do realize the consequences.
Vaelshar: Yes my lord.
