“Hey Videl?  Can I ask you something?” Erasa said.

Sitting in her seat, the girl in question turned her attention onto the blonde.  There was still time before class started and from the tone of Erasa’s voice, it sounded important.  It was a good thing the local guys i.e. Sharpner and Gohan hadn’t arrived yet.

“Yeah, sure.  What’s up?” the Satan girl said.

Erasa leaned back into her chair, an anxious look on her face.  “Do you think Gohan’s gay?”

Videl nearly fell out of her chair on that one.  “What?  Why would you be asking me that?”

“Well, I’ve been trying to get his attention since he first got here and he hasn’t noticed me.  I had just tried something earlier and he just fainted,” the blonde explained.

Videl cocked an eyebrow.  “And where did he faint?”

“Right next to our desk.”

Videl immediately shot out of her chair and looked towards the aisle next to the desk.  There on the floor was a passed out Gohan, a steady stream of blood leaking from nose and pooling around his head.  From the look of things, he had been lying there for quite some time; especially to get a pool of blood surrounding his head.

“Erasa, what exactly did you do?” Videl questioned slowly.  Knowing her friend, it would’ve been something no other person would do willingly.

“Not that much,” the girl defended.  “All I said was that my pen fell down my shirt and asked if he could help me find it.  I pulled my shirt open and he just fell down.”

The Satan girl’s eyes fell to Erasa’s shirt, finding her usual green tank top and the usual cleavage it revealed.  No wonder Gohan fainted; the shock of seeing a girl’s bosom must’ve overloaded his senses.

And the dark headed girl was right.  Only Erasa would’ve done that willingly.

“And you were hoping he would stick his hand down there?” Videl asked.

“Well, yeah.  What guy wouldn’t want to stick his hand down a girl’s shirt?  It was a foolproof plan Videl!”

“What was foolproof?”

Both girls turned their attention to the voice, finding Sharpner standing at his chair.  “Erasa’s plan to hookup with Gohan,” Videl answered as she stuck her thumb out and pointed it behind her.  “As you can see it didn’t work.”

Looking passed the girl, Sharpner’s eyes fell onto the KOed Son boy.  “And why does Nerd Boy have a nosebleed?” he finally asked.

“The result of Erasa’s plan.  Now she’s wondering if he’s gay or not.”

Instead of saying something snide or laughing, Sharpner said “You know, I was actually wondering the same thing.”

“Really?” Erasa piped up.  “What has Gohan done to make you think that?”

“Well, I’ve never really seen him around girls,” the blond stated.  “He’s only around guys and he takes forever in the locker room.  In fact, I’ve never seen him even look at a girl with interest.”

"Didn't he go out with that Angela girl once?" the Satan girl responded.  "He didn't seem too uncomfortable when he was with her."

The blond rolled his eyes.  "That was only a one time thing.  She was blackmailing him about his Teddy Bear underwear, which she told the whole school anyways."

“And your point?” Videl said.  “He did date a girl once and just because he isn’t drooling over every single girl in this school constantly doesn’t make him gay.”

“Then what would that make him?” Sharpner countered.  “If he’s not interested in girls but he’s not gay, what does that make him?”

“How am I suppose to know that?  Asexual maybe?” the girl defended.  “Why don’t you just ask him if it’s so important.”

“No, someone already asked him,” the blond boy informed.  “He just stuttered and got embarrassed.”

“Well of course he would!  How would you like it if someone asked about your sexual orientation?”

“So we can’t ask him,” Erasa commented as she fell into deep thought.  “Perhaps…perhaps we should test him.”

That caught both Videl and Sharpner’s attention.  “Test?” they said simultaneously.

“Yeah, test.  We’ll just put him into situations that’ll prove if he’s gay or not,” the blonde proposed.

Sharpner grinned.  “Count me in.  I’d love to know.”

“How about you Videl?” Erasa said.  “You in?”

Videl looked at the girl before shaking her head ruefully.  “This is so stupid.” She paused.  “Yeah I’m in.  But if this thing blows up, I’m blaming it on you.”

Erasa nodded her head in acceptance.  “That’s fine.”  Then getting out of her chair, the blonde made her way to Gohan’s body before messing with his pants.

A sweatdrop appeared on Videl’s head.  “Erasa, what are you doing?”

The girl looked over to her friend and said “Well Sharpner said he wore Teddy Bear underwear.  I just wanted to check.”

“…Erasa…get out of Gohan’s pants…”

---

It wasn’t too long after that “agreement” that Gohan awoke from his massive nosebleed, followed by the commencement of class.  Nothing out of the ordinary happened, even when Sharpner had left to go to the restroom.  However, once class ended, Gohan had left the room to use his locker.  It was when he got back that things got…interesting.

The first thing Videl took notice of was the Son boy’s extremely red face and the brand new cotton swabs that had been stuffed into his nostrils.  Something big had just happened to the boy and she was gonna find out what that was.

“What’s wrong with you?” she inquired as the boy sat in his seat.

“My locker was vandalized,” he replied, clearly upset.

“It was what?!” Videl jumped, standing out of her chair as she gave her full attention to the victim.  “Did they take anything of yours?”

Gohan shook his head.  “No, nothing was missing.  All they did was put a bunch of pictures of naked women in there.  They were taped all over my door and the inside walls of my locker.”

Looks of astonishment covered the faces of Videl and Erasa.  There was only one person they knew who would’ve done that and he was mysteriously MIA at the moment.  Well, that only left one option.

“Mind letting me take a look?” Videl asked, recovering from her previous state of mind.

Gohan looked at her dubiously.  “Why would you want to look at it?”

“Cause there may be a clue as to who did it.”

Gohan continued to look at her before saying “I guess you can.  Any help would be appreciated.”

---

It wasn’t long before both the dark headed people were in front of Gohan’s locker.  Oddly enough, Erasa had joined the group to see the supposed attempt by Sharpner.  Twisting and turning his lock, the Son boy opened the door before quickly slamming it shut; his embarrassed red face coming back in full.

Videl cocked her eyebrow.  “Uhh, Gohan.  Why did you shut your locker?  I can’t see the damage if you’ve locked it up.”

The Son boy shook his head in defiance.  “I don’t think you should look at what’s in there.  The pictures have…changed.”

Now the Satan girl was lost.  How do pictures change?  “And how did they ‘change’?”

“They’re pictures of naked men now.”

Well, that explained everything.  Videl had to agree with Gohan’s judgment on that one.  No way was she in the mood to be looking at naked guys at this time in the morning.

Unfortunately, Erasa wasn’t on the same page as her.  “Really?  Can I see Gohan?  Please, please, please, please, please let me see!”

“Oh no, that’s enough excitement for you,” Videl scolded as she grabbed the blonde by her shoulders and forced her to walk back to the classroom.  “The last thing either of us needs is an over-horny you bouncing around.”

“But Videl!” Erasa whined.  “I wanna see!”

In the end, Erasa didn’t get to see the locker collage of men.  Unfortunately, that made for a very uncomfortable class period for the Satan girl as her friend shot daggers at her with her eyes throughout the lesson.

Once that lesson ended, and Gohan had conveniently gone to the restroom, the two girls and the recently arrived Sharpner began to talk about the results they had received.

“Well, that was a bust,” Sharpner commented.  “Though he did shut that locker full of guys faster than the girls.”

“You were the one that did that?!” Erasa exclaimed, though not loud enough for the whole class to look at her.  Just the ones that were around them.

“You’re just realizing that?” Videl asked, sweatdropping.  Sometimes Erasa could be really slow, even as slow as Gohan when it came to certain things.  That was actually a scary prospect if the two ever got together.

“Well, I struck out,” Sharpner continued.  “It’s up to you girls to figure out Gohan’s secret.”

Erasa suddenly lit up.  “I think I have an idea, you guys.”

“Oh really?” Videl responded.  “And what would that be?”

“We just touch Gohan’s crotch; once with a girl and once with a guy.  Which ever one he response to will tell us what he is.”

The blonde was met with dead silence from the other two conspirators.  “And…how do you propose we do that?” Sharpner said after awhile.

“Simple.  Since you’re the only guy here, you’re gonna have to find someway to touch Gohan.  I already have an idea in mind,” Erasa explained, a wicked glint in her eyes.

“Oh no; no way am I touching another guy’s package!” Sharpner protested.  “That’s so wrong on so many levels.”

“Aww, c’mon Sharpner!” Erasa pleaded.  “For me?”

“No, no way.  Find someone else to do that.”

Videl sighed.  This conversation was going nowhere.  While Erasa’s idea did have merit, neither three had any guy friends that were interested in the same sex.  And with Sharpner refusing to commit to it, it was fair to say the plan would be scraped.

It looked like she would just have to take control.

Standing out of her chair, stopping the back-and-forth begging and refusal of the blonds, Videl walked straight to the doorway, running right into the person she was looking for.

“Gohan, we need to talk,” the Satan girl said firmly, leaving no room for the boy to argue.  To ensure that he didn’t, she grabbed his arm and dragged him away from the classroom and up the nearest set of stairs.

Fortunately, the staircase she had chosen just happened to be the one that led to the roof of the school building.  Opening the door, she pulled Gohan into the sunlight and released him; turning to stare him down while he held a look of bewilderment.

“Uhh, what did you want to talk to me about?” the Son boy finally asked as he recovered his bearings.

“Okay, Erasa, Sharpner, and I were wondering something about you,” Videl started, coming to a stop soon after.  How did one go about asking someone if they were gay?  When she started on this, she thought it would be a quick ask-and-tell; only now realizing how much more difficult it would be.  Hopefully Gohan wouldn’t take this too personally.

“Uhh, okay,” the boy said after awhile.  “What do you want to know?”

A bit lost as to how to go about asking, Videl decided on a much more indirect route.  “Well, the three of us have noticed that you haven’t really taken much of an interest in the girls here…” she began.  When she didn’t continue, Gohan prompted her with an “And?”

“Well, we were wondering if you did like girls or if you were more into…well, guys.”

Gohan stared the Satan girl down before walking to the railing, leaning against it as he looked at towards the horizon.  “To be honest, I really don’t know,” he answered after awhile.  “I wasn’t really taught about relationships.”

Videl walked closer to the boy before asking “What do you mean by that?”

“Well, there weren’t many people around my home so you could say I’ve been isolated my whole life.  I’ve had a few mentors but they were usual more focused on their own interests than having relationships.  You could say that’s rubbed off on me,” the Son boy explained.

Finding her way to leaning against the rail, the Satan girl nodded her understanding.  “So which way do you think you lean then?  Would you say you’re more attracted to guys?”

Gohan’s answer came much faster than she would’ve thought.  “No, not at all.”

“But you really haven’t shown interest in the girls here,” Videl countered.

“Well, there’s a whole world outside of the school, full of girls that could get my attention,” Gohan responded.  “I’m just not too into the ones here is all.”

Videl narrowed her eyes.  “And why is that?  Are we not good enough for you?”

The Son boy caught that danger sign immediately.  “That’s not what I meant,” he protested as he waved his hands in front of himself.  “Most of the girls here are more aggressive than what I’m use to; that’s all.”

Reluctantly, Videl had to give the boy that one.  With the way Erasa came onto him, no wonder he was sent into shock on a daily basis.

“So what about me?  I’m not aggressive,” the girl said.

Gohan looked at her.  “But I thought you hated guys coming onto you.”

“That’s cause the ones always coming onto me are creeps,” she replied.

“Would you call me a creep?”

“No, you’re cool.”

Gohan suddenly grinned cheerfully.  “Then how about we go on a date?”

That caused the Satan girl to laugh.  “Nice try Gohan, but maybe next time.  I’ll hang onto your offer though, if you don’t mind.”

Gohan chuckled as well.  “Sure, you do that.”

Suddenly, the door to the roof flew open, revealing Sharpner and Erasa in very unusual circumstances.  Both blonds were naked except for the boxers on Sharpner and the panties on Erasa.

“Okay, this is foolproof!” Erasa exclaimed as she pulled a squirming Sharpner by his hair.  “We’ll make him choose what he wants.”

However, before any choosing could go on, one prolonged look at Erasa sent a stream of blood flying from Gohan’s nose as he fell to the ground unconscious.

“Erasa!” Videl berated.  “What in the world are you doing?!”

Not taking notice of the fallen Gohan yet, Erasa said “Well, with Sharpner and I naked, Gohan would just have to choose which of us he likes seeing without clothes.  Good idea right?”

“You’re nuts!” Sharpner shouted, blushing red from embarrassment.  “I don’t want another guy seeing me like this!”

“Suck it up!” the blonde shouted back, a noticeable hint of steel in her voice.  “You can take showers in the same room with guys so this isn’t that bad!”

“Erasa!” Videl roared, gaining both of the blonds attention.  During the two friends dispute, the Satan girl had kneeled down next to the fallen Son boy, making sure he’d be okay.  “Did you forget that anytime Gohan sees so much as a breast, he passes out?!”

That was when the blonde finally took notice of her friend’s comatose state.  Looking up into the sky, Erasa couldn’t help herself as she screamed in dismay at her latest failed plan.

“Nooooooooooooooo!”
