It's a Guy Thing
Part Two!!
Gohan groaned and sat up, rubbing his bleary eyes. Not remembering where he was for a moment, he looked around, then smiled in realization when he saw he was in the forest clearing.
Thinking back a little, Gohan chuckled. What a stupid dream he’d had… turning into a girl…that was just ridiculous.
After a few seconds, he realized something was wrong. He looked down. His face fell immediately. He had…he had those… feminine things again!
“It rained last night.” Piccolo explained from his meditating position a few feet away. Gohan sighed. So it hadn’t been a dream after all…
“What are you going to do now?” asked the Namek. Gohan shrugged and leaned back against a tree.
“I dunno… figure out a way to get back to normal, I guess…”
“I think you should tell your mother about this, first. You can’t keep it from her forever.” Gohan nodded dejectedly.
“I guess you’re right… she’s not gonna be happy about this…but where can I get some hot water first? I don’t want to face mom as a girl right off the bat…” Piccolo just shrugged. Hot water wasn’t very easy to come by in the forest…
The awkward silence was broken when Gohan’s cell phone started playing Mary had a Little Lamb. Piccolo gave him a weird look, but Gohan snatched the tiny phone up and pressed a small combination of numbers. He promptly went pale, and started looking at the phone as though he were holding a poisonous rattlesnake.
“It’s Videl!!!” he cried in a panicky voice, holding the phone out at arm’s length. “What do I do?! What do I do?! What do I do?!” Piccolo solved the problem by frying the phone with a quick laser blast from his eyes.
Gohan stared at the ashen remains of his phone, then looked up at Piccolo, cocking an eyebrow.
“I don’t suppose you can just zap up a cell phone like you do your clothes?” Piccolo blinked.
“Nope. I don’t do cell phones. “Eventually, Gohan said goodbye to Piccolo and flew off to his house. Okay Gohan. You sneak in the back way, get some hot water on you, then go up and tell mom the news…and don’t tell her about the cell phone! He thought to himself as he zoomed through the air.
Finally, he landed in his backyard. Taking a quick look around, he grinned. The coast was clear. He quietly snuck in the back door and into the kitchen, wherupon he poured a bit of hot water from the sink onto himself. He looked down and grinned, glad to be male again.
“Hey Mom, I’m home!” he cried, stepping into the main hallway.
“Goten, get back here!! No squirt guns in the hou--!!”
Gohan felt a splash of cold water, then grimaced. Goten stood in front of him, holding a large super soaker 3000, while Chi Chi stood behind him. Both of them were staring at him with eyes the size of dinner plates.
“G…Go…han?” Chi Chi said weakly. “Is that…you? Why are you…” Gohan took a deep breath.
“We-ell, y’see, when we went training, I had this little…accident…”As it turned out, Chi Chi took the news quite well…Well, she hadn’t fainted, which, in Gohan’s books, was a good sign. Goten actually thought Gohan’s curse was pretty cool. As he put it, “Now I have an onii-chan and an onee-chan!!” Chi Chi had even offered Gohan some of her clothes for when he was in girl form, but Gohan had vehemently refused.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, anyway.” She said after he had refused the fifth dress. “You can just get the dragonballs together and wish yourself back to normal again.” Gohan burst into a huge grin.
“Oh yeah!! Why didn’t I think of that?!” Chi Chi smiled sympathetically.
“Oh, don’t worry about it dear, it was probably just the shock of getting—“
“…Feminine things…” Gohan said miserably, looking down at his chest. It was going to take a while to get used to this…. With that, he retreated up to his room, flopping down spread-eagled on the bed, he thought things over a bit.
Okay. Getting the dragonballs would be easy, he’d just have to visit Bulma and borrow the dragon radar. Then it would only take him a day or two, three days at most, to find them all. But until then, he couldn’t let Videl or Mr. Satan know about this whole curse thing…Videl narrowed her eyes, concentrating on her target. She took a breath, let out a short yell, and her foot shot out, hitting the stuffed training dummy so hard that it snapped right off of the wooden post that kept it upright and slammed into the garage wall, making a small crater.
Her arms flopped to her sides, and she scowled. That was the fourteenth training dummy she’d annihilated since she’d gotten the message on the answering machine last night.
Videl went over and picked up the remains of the training dummy, then chucked them in the trash can, which was already overflowing with dummy body parts.
“Stupid Gohan…” she muttered to herself. She’d been okay with him breaking the date. Shocked and disappointed, but she’d been okay. What made her mad was the fact that every time she’d called him on his cell phone that morning, he hadn’t picked up. It was almost as though he were deliberately ignoring her.
Is there another girl…? There had better not be another girl, because if there is, super saiyajin or no super saiyajin, he is DEAD!
She turned around, tightened the belt on her karate gi, and then stormed into the house to get something to eat.
If he wouldn’t answer the phone, she’d just have to strike from another angle…Gohan sat up, a determined look on his face.
“Okay. I’ll go over to Capsule Corp right after lunch today, I’ll find the dragonballs, get rid of this curse, then ask Videl out on another date to replace the one I canceled out on. Perfect!” Standing up, he changed from his training gi into a regular T-shirt and jeans. The shirt was way too big for his female body, but at least it didn’t show off his cleavage like the gi did.
The doorbell rang.
Strolling downstairs, Gohan gave the doorknob a light twist and pulled the door open.
He promptly froze.
Videl was staring him right in the eye.
“Hello…” she said, giving him an odd look. Gohan just stared at her, mouth hanging open, completely at a loss for words, although a part of him was vaguely annoyed to realize that his girl form was shorter than Videl was. Then Goten trotted up behind him. His face immediately lit up in a bright grin.
“Hi Videl!!” Videl smiled, as though relieved that she had somebody she actually knew at the door.
“Hey Goten. Is your brother around?” Goten opened his mouth to answer, but Gohan hurriedly cut him off.
“No, no he’s not!” Videl glared at him.
“Thanks, but I didn’t ask you. Who are you, anyway? And why are you wearing Gohan’s T-shirt?” Gohan froze again.
“I’m…I’m…”
“Goha…” started Goten.
“—Nah!” Gohan interrupted. Videl cocked an eyebrow.
“Go…Hannah?” Gohan nodded enthusiastically. Goten looked kind of confused. “Are you related to Gohan or something? You look an awful lot like him…”
“I’m his…cousin! On his mother’s side! It’s weird how family genes can go around, ne? I don’t look a thing like my mother! Hahahahaha!” Gohan said, ending his feeble explanation with a nervous laugh.
“…Right. Well, Gohannah, can you tell me when Gohan’s going to get back? I’d like to talk to him…” Gohan gulped. He could tell by the glint in Videl’s eye that the talk she wanted have with him about wasn’t going to be pleasant.
“Nuh-not for a couple of days yet!” A vein bulged in Videl’s forehead.
“A couple of days?! Where is he?!”
“He’s…he’s…It’s a guy thing…” he finished lamely. Videl eyed Gohan suspiciously.
“A guy thing, huh…? Did he happen to bring his cell phone with him?”
“It wasn’t m…his fault! It got blown up!” Gohan blurted. Videl’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
“How did you know…?” Gohan backed away from Videl.
“He called from a pay phone…” Videl glared at him for another minute or so, then abruptly turned around and started walking off.
“Well, tell Son Gohan that when he gets back, Videl wants to have a little chat with him…” she called over her shoulder.
“W-will do!” Gohan said with a chipperness that he didn’t feel. He waved goodbye to her, and when Goten finally shut the door, he collapsed on the couch in the living room.
“Oh man…Videl’s gonna kill me…I’ve got to get those dragonballs together fast…Goten, could you do me a favor and get me some hot water?” Goten nodded, but gave him a bit of a strange look. “What’s wrong?” Gohan finally asked.
“Why did you say your name was Gohannah?”
“Because…well, I don’t want her to know that Gohan and Gohannah are the same person, okay? It wouldn’t be good for our relationship.” Goten gave him a long stare, and then ran off to the kitchen, returning with a kettle of hot water.
“I don’t think you should’ve lied to her. I like Videl. She’d make a good onee-san.” He said solemnly as Gohan poured the water over his head. Gohan sighed.
“Yeah, I know. I like Videl too.” He sat up and got off the couch, stretching his arms out above his head.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m gonna eat some lunch and then fix this whole turning-into-a-girl thing. Then I’ll explain it all to Videl and everything will be back to normal.”
Goten shook his head.
“What?” Gohan questioned, cocking an eyebrow at his little brother.
“You don’t like Videl.” Gohan’s eyes bugged out of his head.
“WHAT?! Of course I like Videl! I—“ Goten suddenly grinned up at him.
“You LOO-OOVE Videl!!” he cried, dancing away from him and giggling insanely. “Gohan and Vide-el, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I—“ Gohan grinned, but sweatdropped at the same time.
“Stop that! I bet you learned that one from Trunks, didn’t you?”
“—N-G!”
“Cut it out, Goten!” Gohan said, blushing in embarrassment. Goten grinned even more and dashed down the hallway.
“First comes lo-ove, then comes marriage! Then comes a baby in a baby—“
“CUT IT OUT!!!” Gohan cried, laughing as he chased after his brother.About two hours later, Videl flopped down on her bed and crossed her arms over her chest, staring in fury at the ceiling.
Okay… Gohan breaks a date, which he almost never does…he doesn’t answer the phone at all, and then that…that Gohannah girl turns up out of nowhere, saying Gohan won’t be back for a couple of days… there’s something strange going on here…
She rolled over onto her side and grabbed hold of a book on anger management that she had been reading.
Just you wait Gohannah… I know there’s something between you and Gohan, and I’m not going to rest until I find out what it is!!!As Gohan flew across the horizon, dragon radar in hand and knapsack strapped to his back, he sneezed.
Hmm, that’s weird… he thought to himself. Somebody must be talking about me…
