Chapter 10

Videl threw on a pair of pj pants and a white tank top and figured she'd get some english homework done since she can't go to the dance. She and Trunks had been helping each other over the phone, since they did have the same english class. Twenty three minutes had passed, and neither of them had mentioned the events that happened earlier that day.

"Finally! We're done." Videl proudly closed her text book and threw it to the side. "Now it's time to get down to personal matters."

"What do you mean?" Trunks asked.

"Have you talked to Gohan today?"

Trunks remembered the talk he had with him at lunch and didn't feel like explaining it to her. "A little bit... Why?"

Videl took in a deep breath and exhaled. "He thought you and I liked each other... Which is crazy, right?"

Trunks sat on his bed and leaned his head on the headboard. "Yeah... Crazy."

They were both silent for a good ten seconds.

"How's your sister doing? I'm referring to Bura." she chuckled.

"I dunno. She's supposed to be coming back from Europe tomorrow evening. My aunt says she looks really grown for a 15 year old."

"Uh-Oh. Better keep her away from Sharpner."

"Dude, if anybody touches my sister, they're dead."

"But it's alright for you to touch your sister?" Videl giggled. "I was referring to Valese."

"Oh gawd please don't bring that up."

"What happened to your little floozy you dated over the summer?"

"She was way too hyper for me. I need somebody that's calm and down to earth."

Videl felt bad for him. He's such a good guy, he deserves a great girl. "You should come over tomorrow. My dad's flying down south for some commercial thing, so I'll have the house to myself. I'll invite Gohan and Erasa. Deal?"

Trunks had to think about this. What if Gohan is still angry at him? "Sure..."

"Ok, we'll go swimming, so bring whatever. I'm gonna call Gohan and Erasa. So I'll see you around three tomorrow?"

"Yeah. See ya."

Videl hung up and dialed Gohan's number. She had it memorized by now.

"Hey babe, whatcha doin?"

"I just finished training with my dad. What are you up to?"

"Nothing. Can you come over tomorrow? My dad's gonna be gone and I wanted you, Trunks, and Erasa to come over to go swimming."

"Yeah I'm pretty sure I can come. What time?"

"Around three. What do you think about Erasa?"

Gohan had to think about this one. "Well... She's very.. Quirky... and obsessive... Why?"

"Well I was thinking about hooking her and Trunks up. Whatcha think?"

Gohan laughed. "Well, they do have the same haircut. That's actually not such a bad idea. But what about Sharpner?"

"Who cares. He just likes her for her body anyway. I think they'd make a great couple. She's matured a lot more than you may have noticed."

"Ok, if you say so."

"I gotta call Erasa. Love ya."

"Love you too. Bye."

Videl smiled at her brilliant plan. "Erasa?"

"Hi Videl. Whatcha doin?"

"I am calling to invite you to my house tomorrow to go swimming. Gohan and Trunks are coming too."

"Awesome. What time?"

"Three o'clock."

"Wait, what about your dad?"

"He's going away for the day."

"Cool. Are you mad at Valese?"

Videl's smile disappeared. "I... I don't know... Erasa you just ruined my good mood!"

"Sorry! I didn't mean to make you mad or sad. Just forget I said anything!"

"Okay, new subject. I'm tired of you and Sharpner. You deserve somebody better than him."

Erasa was silent. "What are you trying to say?"

"Just think about it. Who else do we hang out with that's single? Gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow."

Gohan and Trunks sat in front of the door to the Gravity room and tied on their boots.

They were about to begin their usual saturday morning training session, and neither of them were excited about it. They hadn't said a word to each other all morning, and a person can only take so much silence.

Trunks finished first and remained sitting on the concrete. "Gohan, about yesterday... I don't like Videl. I never did, and I never will. Don't tell me you're going to throw away a seventeen year friendship over some girl."

Gohan finished and stared Trunks in the eye. "That girl just happens to be my girlfriend, and I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your hands off of her."

Trunks smiled. "So, you two are finally dating?"

A smile slowly spread onto Gohan's face as well. "Maybe..."

"Good. I was getting tired of you guys arguing over who likes who and all that other crap." They slowly stood up and waited as Bulma approached them to unlock the door.

Gohan grabbed Trunks' arm before he stepped inside. "I'm sorry for accusing you of liking Videl. Truce?"

Trunks shook his hand. "Truce. Now, I'm about to kick your ass inside our lovely gravity room." The two boys laughed and stepped inside, releasing all their anger on each other for two hours straight.

Videl and Erasa were dressed in their bikini's and denim shorts and decided to lounge in the sun on the poolside chairs.

Each had on a pair of oversized sunglasses that were a major trend among teenagers.

"So, did you think about what we talked about last night?"

"Yes I did. The only person other than Sharpner that's single is Trunks. He would never date me."

"Why do you say that?"

"Compared to all the other girls he's dated, I'm not that much of a package."

"Erasa, you're a gorgeous girl. You're smart, funny, and... gorgeous..."

"You said gorgeous twice. Thanks for tryin though."

VIdel giggled. "No prob."

Mintues later, a large silver truck drove to the side of the house, and out came Trunks and Gohan, dressed in their swim trunks and a T-shirt.

They walked all the way over to the other side of the pool where Erasa and Videl were laying on the chairs.

Gohan kneeled next to Videl, where she greeted him with a peck on the lips. Trunks through his towel on Erasa and sat on the poolside, dipping his legs into the water.

Erasa slowly removed his towel from her face and set it on a nearby table. She then stood up and snuck up behind him, shoving him into the pool. Gohan and Videl laughed hysterically as Trunks resurfaced himself. Erasa ran back to her chair and sat back down.

"Nice, now my shirt's soaked." He pulled his shirt over his head, revealing well defined muscle definition. Erasa and Videl smiled at each other. "Heads up." He hurled his shirt at Gohan, which struck him in the face.

Once again, the girls laughed hysterically. "You're so dead." Gohan said playfully. He pulled off his shirt and tackled Trunks into the water.

The girls watched in amusement as the boys tossed each other around.

Erasa sat up and unbuttoned her shorts. "Ready to go in?"

"Sure, why not." They both slid off their shorts and walked to the shallow end of the pool.

Gohan quickly swam to the shallow end and reached out his arms to grab theirs.

"Gohan no!" They screamed. But it was too late. He dragged them into the cold water, causing them to gasp deeply.

Trunks joined in on the attack. He grabbed Erasa's legs and dragged her under water. She flipped her head out of the water and smoothed her hair out of her eyes.

Trunks chuckled, and as he watched her fix her hair and adjust her swimsuit, he felt a sudden attraction towards her. She's blonde, and she's got a nice body, what guy isn't attracted to that? His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Gohan shriek. Trunks whirled his head around to see what was going on. Apparently, Videl had bitten his ear too hard. She apologized, and they continued to gnaw on each other. Trunks was suddenly shoved under water by Erasa. She grinned at her cleverness as she swam to safety to the poolside. Trunks pulled himself up and sat next to her.

Erasa glanced over to Videl and noticed her and Gohan were still wrapped up in each other. "I'm kinda thirsty, you want something to drink?"

"Is there any Dr. Pepper?"

"I think so. I'll be right back."

Videl saw Erasa enter the house and pulled away from Gohan's grip. "I'll be right back."

Gohan let go and decided to join Trunks.

Erasa rummaged through the refrigerater until she found a can of Dr. Pepper and 7 up. She heard Videl come through the door and slide around the corner.

"How's it goin?"

Erasa slouched on a stool and waited for Videl to join her. "I never really looked at Trunks in that way, but now that you brought it up to me, I feel like I want to kiss him sooo bad. He's so hot. I don't think I've ever dated a guy like him."

Videl smiled. "So, sounds like things are going well then."

"Yeah. But I don't know if he'd ever go out with me."

"Just give it time. It took Gohan two years to finally- wait a second... he still hasn't asked me out... Well, look at us now."

"Yeah for a second I thought you were having sex until I noticed you still had your clothes on."

Videl slugged her in the arm and laughed. "Who's the soda for?"

"Me and my hot date." Erasa picked up the sodas and headed back outside with Videl.

The boys were lounging in the chairs wearing the girl's sunglasses. Erasa handed Trunks his soda and laughed at how goofy he looked wearing her glasses. He smiled and signaled her to lay next to him. She crawled onto the chair and layed her head on his chest.

"Is the sun in your eyes?" He could see her squinting.

"Kinda." He picked up a nearby towel and laid it over their faces.

Videl laid with Gohan and gazed over at Trunks and Erasa. Trunks' hand was on her waist as she caressed his side, and the towel that was covering their faces showed movement underneath it. She whispered to Gohan, "I think they're making out."

"It's about time."

Videl entangled her leg's with Gohan's and smiled at him. "You still havn't asked me out."

Gohan looked baffled. "What? I thought I did that yesterday."

"No, we just said I love you, but you never said the magic words."

Gohan chuckled and shook his head. "Fine. Videl Satan, would you accept the honor of being my girlfriend?" He placed his hand on her hip and fumbled with her swim suit.

Videl removed his hand from her butt and held it in hers. "Under one condition," They gazed into each other's eyes as Videl slid her hand over his chest and around his neck. "Don't hurt me."

Gohan stroked his fingers through her hair and down her back. "I promise."
