Gohan sighed. Uranai Baba told him this would work, but he didn’t know if he could trust the old witch because she really looked senile. Anyway, she warned him that love potions were very, very tricky and therefore should be used with extreme precautions. She also made clear that conditions had to be just right for the ingredients to blend properly…

The first was light, from the full moon. Of course, since Mister Piccolo blew up the moon, he couldn’t get any natural moonlight. After some consultation with Bulma and research on his own accord, he managed to get a lantern. The way it was rigged up, it would offer him simulated moonlight.

Of course, he didn’t tell Bulma what it was for ; how do you explain something like this, to the mother of the person you love?

The next was the scale from a dragon, taken on the summer solstice. That was easy enough.

The third was spring water, from a virgin well. After considerable and extensive research, Gohan finally figured out that a virgin well was, most likely, a well untouched by human hands. He had to go to another world to find, one, of course. The definition only said, untouched by “human” hands, after all…

The last, and most important ingredient, was the ashes from hair of his and Trunks that had been intertwined and set aflame ; this symbolizing a burning passion. Gohan had to snicker at that one. Talk about flaming someone…?

Gohan blended the ingredients together carefully, chanting some syllables that sounded an awful lot like “unagadadavida”, but he was uncertain of their meaning. This was strictly by rote ; the spell was unwritten, and had to be committed to memory ; to avoid plagiarism, the old bag had assured him.

The final ingredient. Gohan held the hair over the pot, and lit a candle to it. He had to drop it quickly, because it burned fast. Luckily, it finished burning before hitting the liquid.

There was a major explosion of air, which swept Gohan off his feet. Gohan’s ears rang from the sudden, explosive change in air pressure.

Gohan rose and went over to the potion. He supposed it was ready, but he wasn’t quite sure….

Yamucha popped into the room at that very moment. “Hi, Gohan ! Hey, what’s cooking ? Smells good enough to eat and I’m starved ! ”

“But…” Gohan protested. Unfortunately, his words fell on deaf ears as Yamucha took a big taste of the potion. He grimaced. “Gosh, you’re almost as bad cook as Bulma,” he teased.

Then, Yamucha looked at Gohan. His eyes widened ; then, he winked coquettishly at Gohan. “But where have you been all my life, gorgeous ? “. He advanced on the young fighter, drooling slightly.

“Oh, no,” groaned Gohan. That had been meant for Trunks, not for him.

“Oh yes,” moaned Yamucha, advancing slowly on Gohan while emitting strange erotic noise similar to cat’s purr.

Gohan deftly avoided Yamucha’s advances. Why did Yamucha have to be such a big jerk ? Gosh, you think he would ask before tasting it ! Really ! Great god, why all the friends of his father had to be this ill-mannered…

Unfortunately, he was too busy avoiding Yamucha to notice when Yajirobi came into the room. “Did someone say food?” he asked.

Before Gohan could stop him, Yajirobi had taken a rather large mouthful of the mixture. Gohan angrily grabbed the spoon from Yajirobi’s hand. “How dare you?” he asked. “That’s for Trunks ! ”

Yajirobi fluttered his eyelashes at Gohan. He struck what he considered to be a sexy pose. Somehow, it didn’t work too well. “What’s Trunks got that I haven’t ? ” he asked, pouting.

“Yajirobi is right” Yamucha added. “Give me a chance to prove you my worth.”

“Your worth !!!??? Why not mine ??!!! ” complained Yajirobi.

Gohan took advantage of their quarrel to discreetly climb on top of the nearest cupboard to avoid the overly amorous horde. “What happened ? When did I lose control of the situation ?” he bitterly thought. This potion was meant for Trunks, and Trunks alone.

Looking at the assembled throng, though, he felt more then a little — flattered wasn’t the right word, but something akin to it — and very humble. He had played with mother nature in such a fashion and now, she was taking her revenge. It would have been so much simpler to simply ask Trunks first, wouldn’t it ?

At that time, Piccolo came into the room, looking for something to drink. Gohan barely noticed his presence, until the Namekian’s eyes caught his. Piccolo gave Gohan what amounted of a sexy little grin and joined the massed throng beneath the cupboard.

What had he done ? He could not even leave the top of the cupboard. He would probably be raped when all he had wanted was for Trunks to return his affection…. ► Chapter 01     Chapter 02     Chapter 03     Chapter 04     Chapter 05     Chapter 06
