if youre forgetting, they did have a tv, chichi was watching the cell games before she broke it, and then baba came over with her crystal ball

My goodness, you have a real talent at G/V stories but you REALLY need to write a bigger multi-chapter story lol excellent job!

Once again the internet thwarted me in reading this. Better late than never though.

I thought about 3 paragraphs into this that Videl hadn't actually been kidnapped. Actually at first I thought she'd staged it, then I remembered you'd written that in A Distressing Damsel and couldn't think of any possible reason why she'd need to do it in this fic. I guess I should have seen it coming that somehow Mr Satan had messed up (you can always rely on him for that).

I don't usually read much mystery so I can't really offer any suggestions for improvement. But then again I enjoyed it so I guess as far as I'm concerned it doesn't need any.

Well I think I've distracted myself from unpacking for long enough, I best get back to it.

Aw, this was so sweet it was fattening!

If I have to be honest I'd say the first part was the best part, there wasn't all that much mystery in the other two. The whole final chapter felt a little flat, it found its conclusion a little too fast, but I dunno really what you could've done differently^^; I gotta give you some pluses for the humor, pervyness and sweet romance though, you did those pretty well.

It would also help if you could separate and clarify the change of scene between the Kame house and the press conference, with an italicized sentence saying "Satan City, two days later" or something like that. It confused me at first.

All in all, not bad for your first try at mystery but there's room for a lot of improvements, just like it should be. I really wouldn't mind reading another mystery case from you, if you feel like writing more^^

Hey hun!
OMG! I'm so sorry!
There has been trouble with my modem so my internet connection is not working!
I'm actually balancing my laptop in one hand while I type this STANDING UP (The only way I can establish a connection presently is by connecting this other wire and blah, blah, blah...A whole load of bogus computer mumbo-jumbo that I won't bore you with!)
Sorry for the delay,Girl!
Thanks again for the fic!

Haha, I had a feeling that Videl wasn't actually in any danger. This was a really good story. The ending was pretty cute.

"Goten pressed a green button along the side of the face and, after a few seconds delay, a second Saiyaman was standing in his place!"

You mean I wasn't the only one who has pictured Goten as a mini Saiyaman?

Oh, that was a great ending to the story! I knew nothing wrong could have happened to her! It just wasn't how the story seemed to be. I feel bad for Videl having to apologize to the whole world like that. Technically she didn't do anything wrong, and it should be Hercule who would say sorry for neglecting his daughter. But I guess she was doing it to save his reputation. We can't let anything taint the image of 'the champ' now, do we? And that was a great first date too. Master Roshi was hilarious. I just can't think of any woman who he won't lust after. I think he lusted after Chichi too. Hmm... I wonder what Goku would think about that.

Hope to see another story come out soon!

Wow this story was something else, to bad there's not going to be anymore.

luv...tha...panties! anyway, this is turning into quite the caper! videl is gone, hercule and gohan must tolerate each other's presence (great practice for the wedding :D), the boys' searching turns up evidence that videl shares in universal girly fantasies, and suddenly we have evidence that (i think) connects videl to the world of dragon balls! also, don't take it personally if not that many people respond. i have personally read many stories that i enjoyed a lot without responding.

Finally I get a chance to read this. I noticed this in my emails about a week ago one morning. Then when I wanted to read it in the evening my internet crashed. Now I'm no longer sans internet I thought it was about time I checked it out.

It's definitely an enjoyable read. You've got a good mix of humor and tension here to keep people interested.

I'd just like to state my suspicion that the red stains on Videl's clothes are cranberry juice related rather than blood related. I usually end up being wrong, but suspicion stated none-the-less.

I wonder who get the "meddling kids" line.

A little short maybe, and it feels a bit like the flat midsection between the exciting intro and the glorious finale, but it's still a pretty good story. And I just love how Mr. Buu was snacking on cookies in the corner while Trunks and Goten made a mess of Videl's room XD

Lemme guess! That watch is Gohan's with the special capsule-button with the Saiyaman costume, isn't it? I dunno what it would be if it isn't...

I kind of did figure out the tagline after looking at your other taglines on your profile, it makes sense^^

I'm looking forward to see the end of this little escapade ^_~

...the pervert side of me can't stop rereading the second chapter just because. My imagination doesn't know when to stop.

You definitely have a way with words. At first I thought all those parentheses were distracting (because I know I use parentheses when I'm too lazy to express my thoughts properly), but they work well with your writing style. I like the way you try to keep every little detail consistent with the original series (though as one reviewer has pointed out, Chi-Chi DID watch the Cell Games in her house (though of course you can always argue she threw out the TV afterward)); it makes it easy for my brain to play this as a movie in my head. Nice job.

Aww, I'm enjoying it, at least!
