BEST FRIENDS FOREVER Gohan/Videl This one's really complicated... the notes I have for it are ten pages long on word... just read... it's basically Gohan and Videl realizing that they love each other...
Disclaimer: I may come as a surprise to some of you but... guess what! I DON'T OWN DRAGONBALL Z!!!!!!!!!!!!
***
Okay. I have some explaining to do. The first chapter is basically how Videl gets kicked out because of Gohan. Their relationship will start developing in later chapters and it is SO FRICKEN' ADORABLE! Alrighty... Hercule knows about Gohan, the Cell Games, Saiyans, etc. He does NOT know that Gohan is the Great Saiyaman...Everyone else is unaware that he is alien or the Great Saiyaman ('cept for Videl) And there is no Saiyaman Two, and I don't know if I'll be adding her... Let's jam.
BEST FRIENDS FOREVER
CHAPTER ONE
Videl leaned back in her chair in homeroom. Thank Dende it's Friday, she thought. She was rather early, being the only one of five students there. Videl sighed and chuckled at the article in front of her. Gohan was suppose to meet her here early. Just then, Gohan threw open the door walking over to his desk, placing his backpack on the ground, allowing himself to fall into his seat, and put his folded arms in front of him on the desk to make a cushion for his head which he laid down. "Why am I here so early?" He asked, the question clearly for Videl.
Videl hit him in the back of the head with the article. "This!" He sat up and began to read. Videl continued, "Pretty neat, huh? Crime down almost one hundred percent since the arrival of Saiyaman!" Gohan grunted.
"Quite the conversationalist early in the mornings, aren't we?" Videl said laughing. Gohan gave her a smile.
"I'm sorry, Videl. It's just been one of those days where from the moment you wake up you just know that it's going to be one of those really, really, really bad days," Gohan explained. Under his breath he muttered, "And it's just going to get worse." As Videl's boyfriend, Mark, walked over. Actually, Mark was more like Hercule's boyfriend for Videl. He was a superb fighter... human standards... but not as strong as Videl or Hercule. At least Hercule had allowed her to date someone. Gohan rolled his eyes. Even if that someone was a scumbag, he thought.
"Hey, girl," Mark said, pulling out a chair to sit on and throwing Gohan a disapproving glance. Gohan looked away and took out some schoolwork to keep himself occupied. He knew that Mark didn't like him because he was Videl's best friend and they did everything together.
Come to think of it, Gohan wondered, we know almost everything about each other...
Erasa arrived and began talking to Mark and Videl.
Gohan clamped his teeth together as Mark laughed and leaned up against Videl, who moved away slightly, obviously not wanting the attention and Mark obviously not getting the hint.
"...so you wanna come with us to the mall?" Erasa asked Videl. Videl made a face that only Gohan noticed and he grinned. Videl sighed.
"I guess I can come," she responded.
Gohan butt in. "Can I come too, Erasa?" After all, he didn't want to leave Videl at a boring place like the mall ...with no one but her boyfriend and Erasa.
"Sure!" Erasa exclaimed. "That makes me, Mark, Videl and you! We should have a blast." Gohan rolled his eyes.
Yeah right.
Erasa, laden down by five shopping bags and Videl, only carrying one, walked into the next store. Gohan was abou to follow when Mark grabbed his arm.
"Hey, um ... what's your name again?"
Gohan knew that Mark knew his name... Mark was just trying to ruffle him up. "It's Gohan," he answered politely.
"Gohan, would you like to come to a party? It starts at seven. Videl's going to be there and Erasa and Sharpner and a ton of kids from school. It's at my house, and I'd like to get to know you better."
Gohan shrugged. "Yeah, I can come."
Mark sighed. "Let's wait for them right over there," he suggested, pointing to a bench. "They're going to be in this store for a while anyway."
Gohan sat down. Would this day ever end?
"So how do you know Videl?" Mark asked.
Gohan scratched the back of his head. "Just friends at school." Not. She was actually out to get me. She wanted to find out if I was the Great Saiyaman and guess what? I am. Then I taught her to fly and manipulate her ki... she knows everyone in my family and all our close friends. She is like family and if you hurt her I swear...
"Well, that's nice. You seem pretty close."
You have no idea.
"Yeah, we do a lot together."
Mark knocked Gohan in the arm. "Enough with the act already, why do you /really/ hang out with Videl? Is it for the money... cause that's my reason."
Gohan backed away. "What are you talking about?"
Mark grinned and shrugged. "Of course she isn't to bad herself..."
Gohan couldn't believe what he was hearing. And he was just about to tell Mark off when Erasa and Videl walked out.
"Ahh, Videl," Mark said, getting up and standing besides her. Gohan just watched as Mark looked at his watch.
"Party starts in a few hours, I'll see you there, girl," he leaned over and gave Videl a kiss on the cheek. Videl said bye to him and was about to turn around and say goodbye to Gohan when she found he had disappeared. She frowned. That's odd...
Gohan showed up in a simple oufit: light cream khaki's and a black button- down long- sleeved shirt.
His mission: to talk to Videl about Mark. It wasn't a jealousy issue or anything. Seriously, this guy didn't truly care about her and it was making Gohan sick.
Just his luck, the first guy he an into was Mark. "Hey, Gohan! Whassup?" Mark shouted, making his way over to Gohan, offering his hand. Gohan shook it and leaned close to Mark's ear.
"You don't deserve her," Gohan whispered. Mark laughed. Just then Gohan spotted Videl. She was wearing jeans pants, a white tank top, and a yellow over-shirt. Her short hair was in it's normal style and she was laughing as she drank punch with Sharpner and Erasa.
"Let's get you a punch!" Mark said, leading Gohan over to the table.
Gohan was busy watching Videl and didn't know that something had been added to his drink as he quickly gulped six glasses down. Mark talked to him for about fifteen minutes and then let him go off into the party. Mark sniggered to himself. When Videl sees him, Gohan'll be drunk and she won't believe a thing he says, he thought throwing the sixth beer into the garbage.
Mark watched as Gohan walked over to Videl, who was standing alone at the moment. She made a face of disgust and asked him a question. He replied and she laughed. Then her face took on an expression of concern as Gohan grasped his stomach and said something else. Videl nodded and led him out of the party by his arm.
Mark fumed. Gohan wasn't suppose to leave! He was suppose to make an ass out of himself! At this party! He crumpled his cup in his hand as the door shut.
"Gohan? Are you drunk? Can you at least answer me that?"
Gohan stumbled over his own feet and laughed. "I only drank punch with Mark," he answered honestly. Videl towed him to an inconspicuous alley. She propped him up against the wall and used her weight to lean up against him and hold him there. His head laying against her shoulder.
"I'm hot," he mumbled. She laughed and unbuttoned the first few button on his shirt, fanning him off. She took off her yellow over shirt and patted his forehead and face where he was sweating.
"I have ....... Something....... `bout Mark....... I have to tell you..." Gohan said, sleepily.
Videl frowned. "C'mon, Gohan, not now." Gohan tried to respond but his body fell limp and unconscious. Videl sighed and laid him on the ground. She sat down leaning up against the wall and tucked her over shirt behind his head as a pillow. There was no way she was going to try and carry him home, or back to her house, or back to the party. She also wasn't going to just leave him there.
Five hours later she looked at her watch. One in the morning. "Boy, Gohan you're going to have to make this one up to me," she said.
Gohan raised his head. "Did someone say something? Hey where am I?" He sat up. Videl yawned.
"You were drunk, Gohan. You arrived drunk at Mark's party."
Gohan shook his head. "No, Mark gave me some of that punch." His eyes widened. "Videl... he told me he was only going out with you for your money."
THAT was unexpected. Videl nodded. "Uh huh. And did he tell you this before or after he supposedly got you drunk?" She asked, sarcastically.
Gohan sighed. "You don't believe me, do you? Listen. My intention's not to hurt you. He told me yesterday, at the mall, that he was only your boyfriend because you're rich. I promise. And I wasn't drunk at that party either. The only think I did was drink-"
"-the punch with Mark. Okay, okay. I believe you, Gohan."
Gohan raised his eyebrow. "I'm not making this up."
"I didn't say you were."
"Videl, you need to talk to him."
"Fine." She turned around and left him right there.
Gohan sighed and followed her, hiding in some bushes nearby.
Videl rang the doorbell to Mark's house and he answered.
"Hey, Videl! What was wrong with your friend? He showed up smelling like shit and-"
Gohan clamped his jaw with anger and could tell Videl was doing the same. "Mark- we're through. He told me what you said yesterday."
"And I take it you believed him."
"I believed my best friend, yes."
Mark shook his head. "Well, then goodbye, Videl." He slammed the door on her face.
Quick and simple.
Videl stood there a moment in shock and then walked away, heading down the street. Gohan decided to make his presence known. "Videl," he said softly, flying from behind her.
"Leave me alone," she said quickly.
"I'm afraid I can't do that," Gohan answered.
Videl turned around and pushed him. "Go AWAY!"
Gohan stopped, hurt. He saw Videl had tear streaks down her face.
"Videl, wait," he grabbed her arm. "I didn't mean to hurt you."
Videl took a swing for his head with her free arm and he caught that one as well. Videl, realizing she couldn't get away, jut started crying again.
Gohan stared at her, not knowing what to do. When he was a little kid and he cried around Piccolo, the alien just told him to shut the hell up. Somehow that didn't seem quite right in the situation. Instead he let her go and hugged her gently. "Please don't be mad at me," he begged.
She hugged him back. "I'm not mad at you. It's just that - it's always money or something that people want from me. Well, everyone except Sharpner, Erasa, and you."
Gohan patted her back. "Don't worry about all those people, Videl. The important thing is that you have three good friends like Sharpner, Erasa, and me."
She looked up at him and smiled. "You're right."
"Let me fly you home," Gohan offered.
She nodded and took off, Gohan behind her.
They arrived at the Satan Residence at two thirteen in the morning. Videl knocked on the door and none other than Hercule answered.
"WHERE have YOU BEEN?" He bellowed. And then, of course, he caught sight of Gohan. Their appearances weren't exactly pretty. Videl's face was still streaked with tears and puffy from crying. Her eyes were red and had bags under them, her clothes were wrinkled and she smelled like garbage. She was also missing a particular yellow piece of clothing she had left with. Gohan smelled like garbage AND alcohol, his khaki pants were covered in dirt, his shirt was unbuttoned more than it should be, and he was holding his daughter's missing piece of clothing.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Hercule stormed over to Gohan. "STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER! AND THAT'S AN ORDER!"
"Sir," Gohan said evenly. "Nothing happened."
He pointed to the yellow over shirt Gohan held. "I promise," was all Gohan said.
Hercule nodded quickly. "Sure," he said. He continued nodding when he turned to Videl. "It sure looks to me like he was encouraging your attention, young lady. Leave the room, I need to talk to your friend here in private."
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
"You shouldn't have aloud things to go this far," Hercule stated.
"What `things' dad?"
He cut her off. "This ends... Now."
"What?! There's nothing TO end. Leave him out of this! It's Mark that's the trouble! If it hadn't been for Gohan-"
"He is no longer your concern! I will do anything if it keeps you away from...him..." he said, throwing a mistrusting glance at Gohan, "we will change your school, move to another city..."
"You're over reacting! You can't do that!"
"Oh, consider it done. I always get what I want and right now I want him out of your sight, my sight, and most of all, our life."
Videl snarled. She's really pissed now, Gohan thought. "What `our life'? Since mom died you hardly have a thing to do with me! You don't know where I am half the time! You don't care! I only stay here because usually kids grow up with their family! But all that my family name has brought me is wealth and it's not even something I desire!"
"Fine then," Hercule said too calmly. "What do you want?"
"Not this," Videl replied solemnly.
"Then move the hell out! I don't care, you said it yourself! Go on! NOW!"
"Watch your mouth," a very ticked male voice said from the doorway. "Watch how you treat Videl when I'm around."
Despite himself, Hercule cowered.
Gohan almost smirked like Vegeta. He sure felt like Vegeta right now. He had an obviously inferior being looking at him like he was about to kill him.
"I mean it. You better be nice to Videl or so help me-"
"-what?" Hercule asked, finding his voice and a little courage. Hercule grinned. "What, a-li-en?" Hercule dragged out the word and made it sound utterly repulsive. Gohan tried to mentally shrug the comment off. Personally, Gohan wasn't afraid of Hercule running off and telling the press that he was an alien. Because he knew Hercule wouldn't. If he did, he'd have to spill the truth behind the Cell Games and that was something he definitely wasn't about to do. Gohan found himself trying to keep calm however, the part of him that loved Videl, even if he didn't realize it yet, wanted to tell Hercule to shut the hell up.
Videl felt Gohan's ki rising rapidly. "Are you looking for a fight?" Gohan asked.
Before things could escalate further, Videl spoke up. "I choose to leave," She stated simply. "What do you think about that?" The question was meant for her father, but Gohan spoke up.
"I think I agree." His ki dropped and the two left.
Hercule could only ask himself: `What the hell just happened?'

Gohan is sooooo obnoxious in the next chapter!
