Gohan had moved away right after high school graduation, he moved to sunny
California to peruse an acting career. But now he finds that he has been
torn by the two things he loves, his dream job and his family and friends.
"It's so lonely here." He sighed to himself. "Goten plans to move out to Hollywood after he and Trunks finish their training for the tournament, but that's not for a few more months." He sat down in his downtown south central apartment. Sirens from the LAPD were heard in the background as he looked out the window. "This city has it all, everything I've ever wanted, but something's missing.. but what?" Suddenly the phone rang. Gohan scrambled to pick it up. "Hello, this is Gohan."
"Gohan, it's me."
"Videl? Could it really be you?"
"Oh I've missed you so much, how are you?"
"I'm doing great, you?"
"Well, my dad really wanted us to move to Washington and we finally settled in."
"Hey, we're closer now."
"But it doesn't beat living in Florida."
"Man, you should really come down here to California."
"I want to so bad, but I can't." Videl's voice is muffled as she says, "Just a minute."
"Hey, who was that? It sounded like a guy!"
"Oh, uh, it's just.." Videl began to stutter.
"Videl, I thought you and I were going steady!"
"We are, were, I mean.. oh, I just got so lonely, I couldn't help it. Besides, he's the son of one of my dad's friends. I was forced into it, you have to believe me!"
"As much as I want to, honey, I can't. I'm sorry."
"Gohan no, please don't do this."
"I'm sorry, but it wasn't my fault."
"Gohan wait, I.." Gohan hung up the phone before she could finish.
"This is surreal, I can't believe she'd do something like that." Gohan could feel tears welling in his eyes. "I thought she loved me as much as I loved her. Maybe she was lonely, but didn't she think I was too? At least she had family and friends, what do I have? Nothing, nothing but an ex- girlfriend and Hollywood phonies." Gohan slumped down into his chair and brushed his hand through his hair. He sighed to himself and began to sing:
You might've been hurt babe, That ain't no lie, But you seem to mark up and go. I remember you told me, That it made you believe in no man, no cry, Maybe that's right.
Every little thing I do, Never seems enough for you. You don't want lose it again, But I'm not like them. Baby when you finally, Get to love somebody, Guess what? It's gonna be me!
You got no choice babe but to move on, And you know there ain't no time to waste. The future's too bright to see, But in the end you know it's gonna be me. And you can't deny, So just tell me why.
Every little thing I do, Never seems enough for you. You don't want lose it again, But I'm not like them. Baby when you finally, Get to love somebody, Guess what? It's gonna be me!
Knock, knock! "Hu?" Gohan snapped out of his daze at the sound of knocking on his door.
"Gohan, come on lets go, rehearsal is in five!" It was one of the production agents.
"Coming Joey." Gohan grabbed his jacket, rubbed the tearstains from his cheek and rushed out the door.
