valentine

"February 14..The most dreaded of all days!" Videl looked over at her three friends Eraser, Sharpener, and Gohan. They blinked confusedly at her before Eraser spoke up. "Oh come one Videl. You don't have to be this way anymore. We're in High School! Even if we're single we should like buy ourselves flowers!" Videl pounded her fist on the lunch table. "Hmmph! That's pathetic. Valentine's Day isn't supposed to be celebrated alone. Singles Around the World Unite! I am protesting!" With that Videl walked away looking wistful and yet determined at the same time. "Don't mind her. She's been this way for as long as we can remember. Videl's always been one of the guys. She doesn't date much." Sharpener leaned over to inform Gohan. "Really? I don't see why that would stop anyone?" Gohan stood to walk after her but Sharpener quickly pulled him back down to the booth. "Maybe not for you. Your into the same stuff. But think about it. Videl has kicked almost every guy's butt here at least once. She's an Undercover cop. Videl isn't one of the more popular kids. They're all reasons. But if you do ask her out Gohan, Make sure you do it when she's not talking." Gohan stared confused at Sharpener for a second before Eraser walked back to the table. "Well..I can't find Videl anywhere. I lost her after she went back to school. My guess is she's writing grafitti in the bathroom again. Her message from last year's Valentine's Day got scribbled out." Eraser sat with a sigh. "Well We still have a few minutes before school starts again. I'm gonna go quick over to the mall." Gohan stood with a smile and then took off running. As soon as he got around the block He flew into the air coming to the mall within the minute. "Now that I'm here what do I get her? I know! How about a punching bag? Nah..New training gear? What else does she like besides fighting?" Gohan crept into the mall. Unfamiliar territory, He thought with hesitance. Seeing a Martial Arts store he started to head towards it stopping to turn his attention to a TV screen in the corner of the mall hallway. "Here are Orange Star High School students everywhere are protesting Valentine's Day! It's not very organized but enough to stop all traffic near the school. Leading the protest seems to be Mr. Satan Hercule's daughter, Videl!" Gohan balked and stood staring for a few more seconds before a few giggles were heard behind him. "Man..You better hurry up and apease the beast!" He turned around ready to give the person a piece of his mind. But all he saw were four 5-inch girls floating in the air. "Who are you guys?" He asked. The Saiya-jin watched as the blonde haired one floated a few feet away from his face. "We are Videl's signature Cupids. We're supposed to be making her Valentine's Day happy but our arrows always seem to miss their targets. We think it's Destiny who's making our marksmanship so bad. But maybe you can help us! I'm Sammyanthakins, The Leader of the Cupid Quadruplets! And You, Son Gohan, Are Videl's one and only love! Now hurry up loverboy! We got work to do before Videl goes permanently crrr-azy!" "Your saying I should buy her flowers, candy, and a fancy necklace? Are you sure you know Videl personally?" Gohan stared at the choices before him. The brown-haired one floated up to alight on his shoulder. Even with her tiny hand when she gripped his ear it hurt. "Oww! Hey watch it!" He shot back. "Before we go any further, My name is Gabiriellakins. I know about Videl's Secret Wants and Needs. Trust me monkey-boy I know these things." "I'm not a monkey-boy.." Gohan muttered under his breath before finally rushing up to the floral store. "I just pray he's not allergic to crysanthemums like the last boy was." said another blonde haired Cupid-ess. "Oh now Kaylaaylakins don't be pessimistic. I think he'll be just fine. The real thing we have to pray for is that he avoids the lady with the big hair and gaudy makeup." commented Sammyanthakins. Gohan wandered in through the door immediatly overtaken with the greenery and colorful blooms surrounding him. He was almost instantaneously lost. "Can I help you?" A shrill voice called out. Gohan turned almost thankful for the guidance see as his alleged guides had abandoned him. "Yeah I'm looking for-EEP!" Gohan stepped back before him was a hideous beast of a lady. She must have stood at least 6'5" and had the bluest eye-shadow he had ever seen. Her hair could have hid 10 good sized raven's easily. It was red but that kind of orangish red that looks fake. She was so close he could see the black hairs on her upper lip. Lucky for him he had good balance or Gohan was sure he be laying in a pile of Spider plants and other sorts of greenery. "My name is Olivia!" Gohan winced at the new pitch her voice took on. Smiling nervously he started to inch his way towards the door. "Oh I was just looking for a couple of flowers for this girl but-" "MY MY MY! We have just the thing! 3 dozen red, orange, and pink roses for 67 zeni! It's our V-Day Special!" As Olivia whipped around Gohan noticed her hair shift. Not resisting his curiosty he lifted up a piece of hair. The entire wig come off leaving the woman- Wait a minute! Gohan jumped back. This was a man! The white hair around the bald head confirmed it. He carefully put it back on with 'Olivia' rambled on and on. Seeing this as his chance, Gohan made a break for it. "So you see-Young man! Come back!" The man took chase. Gohan seeing the door in front of his face lunged. He was successful in making it out of the door but he landed on the Cupids waiting outside. The first to get up was a girl with darker blonde hair. "I see you've met 'Olivia'. I, Brittanyittanykins had tried to defeat her a long time ago but failed. Her wig is much too thick. Did you get the flowers?" She asked. "No! I was nearly smothered by some guy in makeup and a dress and your worrried about flowers!?" Sammyanthakins shrugged. "Oh well. Here, We'll provide you with this." 3 dozen roses popped into his hand and Gohan looked blankly from them to the 4 girls before piecing it all together. "Hey! Wait a second here! You mean you can just warp things here?" Gohan angrily advanced on them but they stood their ground. "If the occaision calls for it." Kaylaaylakins replied. "Now come on. It's time to finish the deed." Next, Gohan found himself out side of the Chocolate Shop. His stomach gave a terrible growl reminding him of his missed lunch. "I don't think it's the best idea for me to get her candy right now.." He murmured. "Nonsense! We simply won't have it! Now get in there!" Gabiriellakins gave a firm push on his back sending him flying through the door. "Sheesh for being such small bringers of love, Your powerful little hell-raisers." He muttered under his breath. Rubbing his back, Gohan got up and went to the nearest heart-shaped box of chocolates. He felt his stomach lurch and couldn't contain himself. In a matter of 10 minutes the entire section of chocolates had been devoured. The Cupid-esses smacked their foreheads and gave each wry looks. "Never send a hungry Saiya-jin into a candy store. Didn't Cupid tell us that? And what do we do?" Sammyanthakins asked watching the rest of the store being eaten. "We send a hungry Saiya-jin into a candy store?" Brittanyittanykins answered meekly. "Exactly!" She responded. Well one hour and 20 minutes later, Gohan emerged with chocolate smeared all over his face, a satisfied grin, and a large box of chocolates - the only one left to be blunt. "Are you happy, Mr. Messy? We'd better get the accesories before someone notices him." Kaylaaylakins said. Everyone agreed. "Now..Wait a second. I think I'd like to get her a stuff animal instead of a necklace. I mean she could use the stuffed animal whenever but when she's training the necklace might be hazardous. Or she might break it." Gohan said. "I suppose." Gabiriellakins responded giving a mediocre glare at Gohan. They turned into a K*B Toys store and watched as Gohan made his was over to a giant stuffed animal aisle. They had lions, and tigers, and bears (OH MY! HAHAHAHA! Okay I'll shut up now.), not to mention a huge frog and then he saw it. It was a large unicorn which was laying on it's stomach. The sales clerk came up behind Gohan and saw what he was looking at. "We've had a big demand for this one. It's a real life size too but not as heavy. We can customize what the pendant around it's neck says too." "We'll take it!" Gohan smiled. The clerk looked around. "We?" "Yeah me and the little Cupid thingies." Gohan grabbed his purchase and walked to the counter. Meanwhile the clerk was left to stare strangely at the teenager walking away from him. "Kids these days.." Videl sighed. Another Valentine's Day came and went and still nothing. And where was Gohan? She looked back at the empty halls she had just been in through the glass doors and windows. He had missed the last half of school. "Maybe he went off with HIS valentine. He got so many offers I'm sure he took someone up on them.." Suddenly someone cleared her throat behind them. She turned dragging her feet. Then her eyes lit up. "GOHAN!?" There he stood with the Unicorn and the Flowers and the candy smiling that irrestible smile. "Happy Valentine's Day Videl! The most beautiful woman in the world!" Gohan winked at her carefully following the instructions of the Cupids behind him wording his speech into his ear. "Now walk up and kiss her! Not too graphic though. Just a little peck!" Gabiriellakins smirked as Sammyanthakins, Brittanyittanykins, and Kaylaaylakins perched on a neraby tree with their bows readied. "Oh Gohan! Your so sweet! Are they really for me!" Videl leapt into his arms grabbing the flowers and planting a huge kiss on his lips. "AIM AND FIRE!" Sammyanthakins let out the word. Two arrows planted themselves into Videl's arm and two landed square in Gohan's leg. They felt a warm feeling come over them before kissing again. "We done good!" Kaylaaylakins rejoiced. "'We done good?' Puh-leeze how lame!" Sammyanthakins took off of the branch away from the rampaging actions of her friend. "I think i need a drink.." Gabiriellakins stated. "If You like Pina Coladas!" "STOP!" "Hey what about us?" "Did Brad Pitt break up with Jennifer Aniston yet?" "No." "Damn!" "What about that Ryan Phillipe guy?" "Married." "Is there any hope out there for us?" "We could always go back up there and see if there is anything." "Hell no! Let's go down to Hollywood or whatever and get ourselves some real men! Not ones who wear diapers and go around talking about love every single minute!" "...... (blink blink / crickets chirping)." "How about Las Vegas?"


	Down With V-Day "February 14..The most dreaded of all days!" Videl looked over at her three friends Eraser, Sharpener, and Gohan. They blinked confusedly at her before Eraser spoke up.
