A/N
Hey guys, I'm really pleased to be adopting KuramaFTW's story "Gohan and Videl: True Love" I've been in contact with him for the past few weeks trying to find the best way to get this done. For those who were fans of Kurama's story welcome, I hope I can continue the story that you liked so much. For newcomers finding this story, welcome as well. Upon Kurama's suggestion, I am going to be posting his original story from the beginning with a few changes here and there, some to increase writing quality and others for changing the story slightly to add my own personal touch. For those that do not like dialogue heavy stories it should tone down by chapter 3, that should be closer to the writing style that I'm going to write this fic in. Although some parts might have more dialogue than others depending on how much I take from Kurama's original. Here's link to the original story for those interested.

A big Thank you to KuramaFTW for allowing to adopt the story and helping me develop my writing skills.
Fluff kind of at the beginning but action later on.
Any feedback is welcomed :)
Without further ado, I present to you chapter 1.
Chapter 1
Sitting in front of the T.V is a young girl with her azure eyes fixated on the broadcast of the Cell Games. She watched as a ridiculously loud man with an afro showed off his "strength" by breaking fourteen out of fifteen tiles with one karate chop. She called this man dad and was hoping he would be alright. The next thing that she saw caught her completely by surprise. Her father was launched a mile out of the ring but claimed that he simply lost his footing. Then a man in an orange uniform with tall blond hair stepped into the ring and began to fight the monster Cell. Something isn't right here, this monster is trying much harder against this mystery man then he did against my father. What is going on?
Not too long afterwards with many failed attempts by the cameraman to catch them on camera, the blond haired warrior surrendered and a boy took his place. That boy looks to be my age. What is he going to do? Is he really a delivery boy?
Her questions were soon answered when the boy began to fight Cell, actually just dodge Cell and not fight back. He is fighting Cell. Although he hasn't attacked he is holding his own better than my dad did. I have got to find out who he is.
The next thing she knew the young boy was screaming at the top of his lungs and it felt like the entire planet was shaking, but then the T.V went on the fritz and nothing could be seen or heard but she still felt the shaking. What is going on over there?
A little while later the T.V was back on and with her father claiming that he beat Cell, however this girl wasn't stupid and noticed a very unnatural canyon behind her father and that the mysterious group of fighters were nowhere to be seen. A few days have passed before her father came home from the celebrations held in his honor. "Dad your home!" she shouted.
"Yup, the man who just saved the world is home." Hercule shouted with so much pride in his supposed victory over Cell.
"That is great dad but who was that boy that was fighting Cell just before the T.V lost reception?" she asked eagerly.
"Videl, why do want to know?" Hercule asked suspiciously
"Because I just wanted to know who he was." Videl said
"I don't know who he was sweetie, and unfortunately he was killed by Cell." Hercule lied smoothly.
"That's horrible, that monster killed him." Videl said in horror bringing her hands to her mouth. Videl couldn't understand why but she felt like her heart was ripped in two. Why do I feel this way, I don't even know him and yet it feels like I just lost someone very important to me. It's just like that time when mom died, I feel the same way but why?
(7 Years Later)
"TELL ME WHO YOU ARE DAMNIT. TAKE THAT TRASH CAN OFF OF YOUR HEAD AND LET ME SEE WHO YOU ARE!" yelled a feisty chick wearing a long shirt and biker shorts, her hair tied into pigtails.
"DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP?" shouted a retarded looking super hero.
"NO I DON'T GIVE UP, NOW GET OVER HERE AND SHOW ME WHO YOU REALLY ARE GREAT SAIYAMAN!" the girl shouted back from her jet copter.
My god she just won't quit, I guess I am going to be late to class again. Jeez Videl you sure make things harder then they need to be. Gohan thought to himself. I better go Super Saiyan and give her the slip.
The next thing Videl knew the Great Saiyaman was gone in a golden flash of light. Crap, he got away again. Don't worry Videl he is going to slip up eventually and when he does I will be there to find out who he is and what was with that golden flash of light. Could it be? she thought as she made her way back to school.
(At Orange Star High School)
"Sorry that I was late sir" said a very winded Videl.
"It's ok Videl, I understand that your community service interferes with school, just try to beat the living snot out of the criminals faster next time." the teacher said.
"I'll try" she said as she took her seat next to her best friend and a blond haired boy who was a friend since childhood. However next to her best friend was a boy that caught her attention, he reminded her of someone but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"So what's up between you and Gohan, Videl?" the best friend asked.
"What do you mean Erasa?" Videl asked looking really confused.
"Both you and Gohan were really late to class, he showed up about five minutes before you did." said the boy with long blond hair.
"Nothing is going on between us Sharpner, I just overslept. We aren't together right Videl." Gohan said with a goofy look on his face.
"That's right." Videl responded. However that is kinda strange. I've noticed that Gohan is either absent or late to a lot of his classes and it is usually during the same time that I'm fighting crime with the Great Saiyaman getting in my way. Maybe there's a connection between the two. I got to find out his secrets.
All-of-sudden the teacher made an announcement "Everyone this weekend we are going to be on a mandatory class field-trip to Capsule Corporation. We will also be spending the night there so make sure you pack your tooth brushes. You will be staying in rooms in pairs, your roommates are posted outside the front office."
Most of the class cheered, except for Gohan who was scared shitless.
"Huh, what's wrong Gohan, you don't look too excited to meet Bulma Briefs?" Videl asked.
"This might shock you but Bulma is friend of the family." Gohan said rubbing the back of his head
"WHAT! YOU KNOW THE HEAD OF CAPSULE CORPORATION!" Videl, Erasa, and Sharpner shouted with their jaws hitting the floor.
Everyone in the classroom heard and turned around to look at Gohan.
"Yeah, I just said that I knew her didn't I?" he said kinda oblivious to the fact that he knows a very powerful person.
"How does a nerd like you know someone like Bulma Briefs?" Sharpner asked in disbelief.
"I told you, she's a friend of the family. I've known her since I was four." he explained
"Alright that's enough, let's get back to work. You can interrogate Gohan later." the teacher said and continued his lecture.
Surprisingly, their teacher had managed to give an even duller lecture than normal. After an hour, the bell rang mercifully, signaling the end of the day. By some chance, Gohan and Videl were the last ones out of class. They walked side-by-side as they made their way to the front doors near the main office.
"Gohan you said that you knew Bulma Briefs, but you looked a little scared when our teacher mentioned that we'll be spending the night there, how come?" Videl asked.
"I was scared but not for my sake but everyone else's." Gohan answered.
"Why are you scared for our sake, it's not like there will be an insane maniac that will threaten to blow us all up if we get on his bad side." Videl answered.
"Actually Videl you hit the nail right on the head." Gohan said.
Videl gulped, "What do you mean?" Videl asked.
"Bulma's husband is an ego-centric, self-centered man with a very short fuse. And believe me if you make him mad, just about everyone will die." Gohan warned.
"Gohan don't you think that you are over-exaggerating a little bit?" Videl asked.
"No, not in the least. Actually I'm under-exaggerating." Gohan said.
"Ah, I can take him…but better not get on our host's bad side. Can you tell me what he looks like so I can warn people" Videl said whipping out her cell phone.
"He's short, with tall black spiky hair, kinda like mine but longer. But his facial expression will give him away, he usually walks around looking like he's in a bad mood. One more thing he works out a lot. So just picture a muscular man that is always pissed with tall spiky hair and there you have Vegeta." Gohan finished.
Videl sent that to Erasa who started to send it to everyone else, in just half an hour the entire classs knew to avoid Vegeta.
"Hey let's check the roommate list, I wonder who I'll be with" Videl said.
When they checked the list they noticed everyone was paired up with someone of the same gender except one, Gohan and Videl.
"WHAT ME AND GOHAN ARE PAIRED UP TOGETHER!" Videl shouted at the top of her lungs. "Why are we paired together? I mean don't get me wrong it's just that you're a guy and I'm a girl. Isn't that against school policy?"
"My guess is that they needed to use the buddy system and there must be an odd number of guys and girls in the class, and they can't do triples because the bedrooms are only meant for two. Also I am guessing they picked us to be the mixed pair because we are most likely to "behave" Gohan finished.
"You better believe that we're going to behave." Videl said emphatically as she crossed her arms and gave Gohan her Death Stare. "Still it doesn't change the fact that this is going to be awkward, and I can already tell that we're going to be hearing rumors."
"Yeah, you're right about that one." Gohan said. There goes trying to fly under the radar.
"Whatever I'm going home to pack, and oh my god the school better not call my dad about me having to share a room with a boy. Otherwise we'll never hear the end of it." Videl said.
"Yeah well I'm going to go home and pack my stuff, see ya tomorrow I guess." Gohan said waving good-bye to Videl.
"Yeah, see ya." she waved back with a smile on her face. Huh, wait a sec why am I smiling? I should be kinda pissed right now at my circumstance that the school might just call my dad about me having to share a room with Gohan. She then had a bigger smile creep on her face.
After Gohan had disappeared from sight, Videl started to make her way home on foot rather than in her jet copter, opting to enjoy the day's good weather instead. Her mansion wasn't exactly close but she could get in some good cardio work before she practiced her fighting techniques in her home gym and also have a bit more time with her thoughts.
She often speculated about the mysterious Saiyaman in her spare time but at the moment she was still stunned by being partnered with Gohan, a boy. Why did she smile at him earlier, was it possible that she actually likes Gohan? Videl frowned slightly at the thought, she wasn't even allowed to date boys, her father had made sure of that. He made up some stupid rule that she was only allowed to date a boy that could beat him in a fight, as if that was possible…And for those that approached her, they always seemed to be interested in her family's fame and wealth rather than her. Gohan was different though…he was nice and wouldn't try to get into her pants like most of the other boys but how could she like a boy that had so many secrets! Wait a minute, this is actually perfect. This will be the perfect opportunity to see what he's hiding! she thought excitedly. A renewed energy spread through her body, giving her an extra pep in her step.
After wrecking the flying nimbus in a race and getting home in record time Gohan had the misfortune of telling his mom of his slight roommate predicament.
"Hey mom, I'm home." Gohan said as he walked in the front door.
"How was school?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Alright, however we're having a mandatory class trip to Capsule Corp. and we'll be spending the night there." Gohan answered.
"Well that won't be different for you, now will it?" Chi-Chi said with a grin on her face.
"Actually we'll be having roommates and it turns out my roommate happens to be a girl." Gohan said bracing himself for his mom's reaction.
"What you have to share a room with a girl? What's the school thinking?" Chi-Chi shouted in complete shock.
"And it's just me, everyone else is paired up by gender. I'm guessing it's because the rooms can't fit more than two people comfortably and there was an odd number of guys and girls, so one pair had to be mixed. They probably believe Videl and I are the ones that are most likely "behave" Gohan explained.
"Who is this Videl?" Chi-Chi asked
"She's the daughter of Hercule Satan." Gohan answered
"What, that liar. Well I guess she won't be to good looking to provide any temptation." Chi-Chi snickered.
"Actually, Mom, she looks nothing like her dad. She is also considered to be one of the most attractive girls in the school." Gohan said trying watch his words very carefully otherwise Chi-Chi would take it in a completely different context.
"What are you saying that you like this girl and intend to marry her?" Chi-Chi shouted.
Gohan fell over anime style and got back up and shouted, "No that is not what I said. I said she is considered to be one of the most attractive girls in the school. I didn't say that I thought she was, that is just everyone else thinks." while a faint blush crept on his face.
Unbeknownst to Gohan a very mischievous Goten was right around the corner and saw a perfect opportunity to mess with Gohan. He picked up the phone and called Trunks, his partner in crime to concoct a way to mess with Gohan.
