DRIVING LESSONS CHAPTER 3
![]() "Okay Gohan what three things do you do before you start the car?" Videl asked as she leaned against the hood of the satanmobile.
"Seat belts, mirror check and make sure no one is in my way." Gohan said as he got up from his position on the ground.
"Good."
"C’mon Videl love how long do I have to be tested like this, it’s boring."
"Hey I love this car it was my first car I ever drove. Plus it’s the only one we have left so you can’t destroy it. I doubt my father will lend us the Ferrari, if you destroy the car that might as well be deemed a military vehicle. And I think he doesn’t like the idea of me teaching you anyway, he says teenagers get way too creative in the back seat of cars."
"What’s that supposed to mean, a new version of car bingo or something?"
Videl smirked as she walked about to the passenger side of the car.
"Doesn’t matter let’s get started okay."
"K"
They both took their positions in the car as Gohan checked the mirror and other things.
"There, here we go," He put his seat belt and prepared to start the car.
"Oh wait hold on," Videl said as she jumped out of the car and into the house.
"What is she doing?" His question was soon answered as Videl emerged from the house with a helmet reminiscent of the one Gohan tried to make her wear yesterday.
" Okay now I’m ready." she placed the gray helmet on her head and adjusted it. "How’s it look."
"Like a rock is trying to suck your brains out. Can I go now?"
"Yeah,"
The engine purred as Gohan turn the key, and with a gentle pressure of his foot the car slowly went forward.
"I think you need a little more pressure Hon, you’ll be arrested for driving slow on a highway."
Oh was his only reply as he pressed harder, and they were now at 5 miles per hour.
"Hey this is great I can actually drive slowly," he said happily. " Maybe now I can go up to thirty, he said as he placed six times more pressure." The car suddenly burst forward quickly and out of nowhere Goten jumped of Nimbus and right into the path of the speeding car. Gohan instinctively pressed the brakes hard. And the car stopped on the dime but not before they felt a heavy thump beneath them.
"Oh my god you ran over your little brother, Oh Goten sweetie please be okay." Videl quickly undid her seat belt but not before Gohan gestured for her to sit back down.
"Goten it’s not nice to scare Videl like that," Gohan said sternly to the floor as he remained seated.
"Aww no fun brother," Goten said in a incredibly cute voice, and with that he lifted the car above him with one hand and dropped the vehicle off to the side and hopped into the back seat.
"What in the world compelled you to do that?!?!?!?" Videl asked with anger in her voice.
"I had to talk to you two, and I thought this be the most fun way to get your attention,"
"I prefer your tantrums to that." Videl said with the taint of annoyance still there.
"What did you have to tell us Goten, we have to practice and I’m wasting time. Don’t you know my test is tomorrow?"
"Yup that’s what I got to talk to you about, Mr. Satan called and he said that he would buy me five new toys if I watched you guys."
"What! Why?!?" they said in unison.
"Because he said that teenagers are too creative this days, and that he doesn’t want you driving off somewhere alone. I’m not quite sure what he meant but I promised so there."
"He’s talking about car bingo I think." Gohan told his younger sibling.
Videl shook her head and whispered, "I can’t believe my dad sent a 7 year old to act as a contraceptive."
"What you mean he’s talking about....." Gohan’s face became red. "Wow that’s a lot different than bingo."
"Hey Goten I’ll give you six new toys if you leave us alone so we can finish quicker." Videl offered.
"Nope I made up my mind, I like being around you guys, plus I want to play car bingo too."
"Fine but only on one condition." Videl said with a sly smile.
"Awwww do I have to?" Goten whined staring at his arch nemesis.
"Yes Goten it’s a law that all small children have to sit in the child seat, sorry."
Goten in a huff sat in his unconfortable seat in the back.
"Okay Gohan your doing very well why don’t we circle Mount Pouzu once than parallel park back here in your driveway okay."
Less than 10 minutes on the open road passed before......
"I have to go to the bathroom" Goten squealed from the back.
"We’ll be home in 15 minutes Goten, unless you want to fly home." Videl said.
"Then I won’t get my reward, from Mr. Satan."
"Then I guess you wait."
"If I explode because I didn’t get to go to the bathroom, mom will so kill you bo..."
"GOTEN COW." Gohan interrupted.
"MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Goten yelled " HAH did you see his face."
"Yes Goten I bet he feels embarrassed." Videl rolled her eyes.
"Sure is, now what’s was I saying?"
"You like cheese."
"Oh yeah cheese is good because it is orange and moldy sometimes."
"Goten you didn’t eat moldy cheese did you." Gohan asked concerned.
"Only once remember it was the day before I got that really bad tummy ache."
"Mystery solved."
"I swear I can’t believe you saiyans aren’t exstinct by now."
"I’m hungry."
"Goten we’re only 10 minutes from home, Please wait." Gohan pleaded.
"I’m going to die of starvation, if I don’t eat now." He whined. Waaaaaaaahhhhhh
Goten yelled as he prepared a tantrum.
"GOTEN COW."
"Do you think I’m that pitiful that I can’t avoi.....MMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
"Goten I have an idea for a game, who can stay quiet the longest." Gohan said.
"Okay."
"......." 5seconds
"......."
"......." 7 seconds
"......."
"......." 9 seconds
"......."
"......." 12 ½ seconds
"I CAN’T STAND IT." Goten yelled.
"Oh man." Gohan and Videl said in unison.
"8 more minutes of Hell. Could this trip get any worse?" Videl said exasperated.
*& "Are we there yet?
I’m tired
I’m hungry
how far?
Gotta move my body
gotta to use the potty
better stop the car."&*
Gotens young scratchy voice rang throughout the car, and for the rest of the trip, he sang the song in a continuing sequence.
When they got home Goten ran inside to go to the bathroom and eat. And Gohan practiced many times to parallel park properly to no avail.
"Don’t sweat it Gohan, if you want you can borrow my car, but I’m afraid I have to split. Dad want’s me home early."
"Thanks Love." Gohan said as he switched his gaze back to the car.
"Don’t worry Gohan You’ll do fine on the test, plus if you want I’ll sneak out early tomorrow and practice with you."
"Not necessary I’ll figure it out."
"Good because it might actually be fun to play Car Bingo with you when you get your license." She smiled seductively.
"But we played that today, and let me tell you it’s seriously overrated." Gohan said as Videl’s meaning flew way over his head.
Videl sighed and with a smile opened up her helo capsule to reveal her copter.
"See ya, Hon." She gave a final wave before flying off.
*I don't own the animaniacs song
