Meeting the Families

Part 4

Still confused about the whole taxadermist thing--why on EARTH would you want to keep stuffed corpes around?!--Radditz wandered to a nice, quiet spot where he saw a little old woman and a quiet looking old man sitting and talking to Gohan.

"They looks harmless enough.....," Radditz mumbled to himself as he approached.

"Ah...ahheh, Radditz!" Gohan said, interupting Radditz's thoughts of killing all the humans off. Something in the young man's eyes seemed desperate, "Won't you come meet Granny Feeple...heh...?"

When he got close enough, Gohan whispered to him quietly, "Save me!"

"Huh?" the Saiyan asked, but Gohan had already retreated out of sight.

"Aww!" the old woman squeeked. Her old voice was raspy with age, "Where'd that nice young man go?"

"Who, Gohan?" Radditz asked, "I was about to ask the same question. What'd you SAY to him? He looked frightened."

"I didn't say nothin'!" The old woman said, swatting him playfully with her purse, "He's just one of the fussy types."

Radditz stared, perplexed.

"Yeah, he was just talking about all the crazy things happenin' at the grill, and I asked, 'are you for eating too?'"

"WHAT?" Radditz wasn't exactly sure he heard her right.

"Well, sure, sonny! That boy is one of the hottest things under the sun!"

Radditz started choking on his spit, "Huh?!"

"Oh, indeed. You're a foxy young man, too, doncha' know."

"Uh....er...WHAT?!" Radditz couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Now, hun!" the old man finally spoke, "You know as well as I do that I'M the hottest guy there is."

Granny Feeply rolled her eyes.

"Admit it! You've been chasing me for years, trying to get a hand on my-"

"You didn't run very fast, dear," the little old woman pointed.

"Bah. Hello, sonny! I'm Grampa Feeple!" the little old man said, extending a hand. Radditz shook it, while keeping a nervious eye on the old woman.

"Oh, boy, Radditz!!" the three suddenly looked up as Turles came waddling up to them, "You don't know what you're missin'! I've *urp* GORGED!! I couldn't eat another bite......"

The old woman got a twinkle in her eye, "Well WELL!! How many hotties are there in this get-together?!"

"Besides me?" Grampa Feeple asked.

Turles looked at them confused, but blinked it off, "Woo, I think I might be able to fit a few more bites in. See ya, Ditz!"

Radditz considered trying to kill Turles while he was too busy being stuffed, but was snapped out of his daydream by Granny Feeple's shrill whistle.

"Fwwweeee! Would you look at the bottom on that guy!?" the old bitty crowed, staring unabashed at the retreating Turles, "Shake that tail, baby!"

"You think HE has an ass?" Grampa Feeple looked incredulious, "Then take a look at THIS!"

And without further adue he stood up, turned around and dropped his pants, "See? Ain't I a hottie?"

"Oh for goodness sake!" Granny Feeple said harshly, "Put your saggy buns away!"

"Ahh, you just don't know a good pair of cheeks if they get stuck in your face!" Grampa Feeple grumbled as he pulled up pants back up and sat down.

After barely resisting swallowing his tounge Radditz said quickly, "Um....I needa go....uh....somewhere!! Bye!"

As he was turning to leave, Granny Feeple leaned in her chair to get a better view of his retreating back. Radditz quickly faced her again.

"Ah heh.....," he said and backed away from her dissapointed face, "Um....."

"Bye, sonny! Come back anytime! And bring one of your friends! We could have fun!" the old woman smiled seductivly.

"Don't get jelious now!" Grampa Feeple called after him, "Not everyone can have a butt as firm as mine!"

Forgetting all forms of pride, Radditz ran.

He hardly got around the house before he ran smack into Vegita.

"Watch where you're going!" The shorter Saiyan snapped.

"Sorry, my Prince," Radditz said, then suddenly grinned evily, "Um....there is a very interesting couple over there that you really should go talk to."

"Hm? Why?"

"Just......for fun, heh."

Vegita glared at him for a moment, but digressed, "Fine, but it better be important!"

Radditz snorted as the Prince vanished from sight, knowing full well that the beating he was bound to get would be well worth it.

Dayna was brooding. She was still hungry, confused, her feet agonized and she was suddenly feeling nervious about announcing her and Radditz's little secret to the crazed families.

"Ba pa?"

Dayna jumped at the little sound. Looking all around she found that the noise had come from a little baby that had crawled up to her without her knowing and had was starting to tug at her skirt.

"Well, hello little baby," Dayna cooed, kneeling down to pat the infant on the head, "What's your name?"

"Pan?"

Dayna looked up to see a young woman come trotting over towards them. She had black hair and blue eyes that were, at the moment, searching the ground for something.

"This what you're looking for?" Dayna asked, standing up, holding the little baby out in front of her.

The young woman's eyes lit up when she saw them, "Oh yes! Thank you--how's my little girl, hm?"

The red head gladly handed the babe over, she never had been very good with children........

"So, what's your name?" Dayna asked.

"I'm Son Videl, Gohan's wife. You?"

Dayna cringed. Gohan? The evil guy? "I'm Dayna Feeple."

"Oh! You're the one I hear Gohan talking about so much! It's very nice to meet you!"

Dayna smiled, then grew serious.

"Videl-san, may I ask you a personal question?"

The other woman smiled warmly, "Sure, shoot."

"Does your husband......Gohan.....ever hit you?"

Videl blinked in surprise, then her face lightened with understanding, "Ohhh, you mean in sparring!"

Dayna waited patiently for the answer.

"Well, accually, Gohan doesn't hit me, though he's definatly strong enough to," Videl's face grew dreamy with love for her husband, "But nearly everytime we do spar, he lets me hit him! Isn't that romantic?"

Dayna stared at the woman in shock, "YOU hit HIM?!"

"Well, yeah. But he has to let me. I wouldn't be able to otherwise. *sigh* He's so gentle."

Dayna grew worried. So Gohan was a little brother beater, but Videl was a husband beater? And Gohan LET her hit him? Son Gohan was one sick fellow! Suddenly, Dayna realized something terrible.

"What about little Pan!?" Would Gohan hit his daughter?

Videl thought for a moment then said proudly, "Gohan is such a nice guy! I bet that when Pan's old enough to train, Gohan will let her hit him as well."

Dayna gawked. So Gohan was a male child abuser but let females hit him as much as they liked?! What sort of sick mind did he have?!

"Well, nice talking to you! See ya later!" Videl said and jogged off.

Dayna stood there, horrified.
