(A/N) Hey for all those who have been reading my Percy Jackson stories, I am sorry, but I don't think I will be working on them anytime soon. I have lost interest in writing them. If you want them, then feel free to take some ideas.

Anyways, I have re-watched my favourite anime (DRAGON BALL Z!:) and read some of the Dragon Ball Z stories. Upon readin some, I've came up with some ideas. So I decided to create my own little story. So here it is. Enjoy!

Clarifications:

Videl doesn't know about Gohan being Saiyaman and, but a somewhat-close-enough-truth about his past. She doesn't know how to fly and she doesn't know that Gohan beat Cell.

Part I
Separate Lives

Chapter I - Missing You

It was friday night. The temperature was cool, and a fresh breeze coursed through Satan City. The stars barely shone due to the light pollution the city was causing. Throughout the years, the city has blossomed and there was now rarely any crime at all, making the city one of the most beautiful and peaceful city in the world. This is all thanks its hero who dedicated their lives for the sake of the people.

Somewhere along the streets of Satan City, walked that very same raven-haired woman was walking alongside her most wonderful boyfriend in the whole world. Hand-in-hand, together they walked the long cold pavement, on their way to a fancy new restaurant for, their what could be billionth, date.

"So, Videl, how was your summer?" Videl's boyfriend asked.

Her boyfriend was tall and fairly muscular. His short, black hair was messy, but very attractive and unique. His eyes were as black as night, very similar to those of whom she knew.

Not dark and mesmerising as- One side of Videl thought.

NO! SHUT UP! Videl's other side fought. That pretty much ended that little arguement.

Today, he wore a loose white dress shirt and some dark brown jeans. He used these baggy clothes to hide his toned body from other girls. He wanted this night to be special for his girlfriend after such a long time being apart. And so he hid his muscles.

"It was great!" Videl replied happily back. "I hung out with some old friends from high school which was great seeing them again!"

Tonight, Videl wore something different than her usual attire. Instead of her white t-shirt and black shorts, she had a blue jeans jacket with a white shirt underneath and a black and white cotton skirt. The skirt wasn't too short, revealing too much of her fine legs, nor were they too long. The skirts went about knee length and long enough so that the skirt would twirl nicely when spinning around. The only thing remained the same was her hair; it was in her usual pigtails.

"Oh really? Who did you see?" The black-haired boy asked.

"Well I saw the twins, Kiro and Kira, Nia and...OH! I saw Erasa!" Videl exclaimed. She let out a small chuckle as she saw her boyfriend's change of facial expression. "I see that you remember her."

"Damn right I remember! She made us walk around the mall for like 6 hours for prom!" The man shouted as he remember his hurting heels that one day. He shuddered at the thought. "If we ever see her again, please don't make me suffer!"

Videl laughed harder, then put on a smirk. "I don't know. I don't think you deserve being saved." She teased.

Her handsome man frowned at began to beg, "PLEASE VIDEL! PLEASE! I'LL DO ANYTHING!" Videl raised an eyebrow and her smirk grew.

"Anything?" The man's face darkened. Upon seeing his face, Videl burst out laughing, clutching her stomach as she did. "You should have seen your face!"

"Videeeeeel! That's not funny." The man frown and grunted.

"Awww. Is my wittle boy sad?" Videl mocked.

Her boyfriend decided to play along, "Yes mommy. You hurt my feewings." He pouted to put some extra effect. They both ended up laughing at their immaturity. The two walked in silence for a minute or so, until Videl finally broke the silence.

"It's a shame that you have to live so far. Otherwise we could have been spending so much time together and laugh alongside each other." She said, lowering her voice at the end.

"Well, today I am going to try and make this day as best as it could be. I promise you, this date will be the same as having gone out for twenty of them!" The boyfriend explained.

Videl laughed at his child-like personality, "It better be. Or you're gonna regret it!"

"Oh, but it will!" Her boyfriend said back. "By the way, did I mention how beautiful you look this fine evening?" He leaned down and kissed the side of her forehead.

Videl blushed madly, "N-no. But thanks for the compliment." The man smiled at her, making her blush even deeper.

Damn him! I hate it when he does that. But still...he's not as good as- Videl's thoughts were interrupted by a voice abruptly saying...

"We're finally here!" the black-haired boy exclaimed as he let go of his girlfriend's.

They entered the new restaurant, which was named The Auditore's. The restaurant was founded by an Italian who went by the name of Rani Auditore. Obviously the place offered Italian food, but they also had so much more. Like Spanish dishes, Chinese dishes; you name it, they mostly likely have it.

The restaurant was indeed fancy and seemed extremely expensive. All the waiters and waitresses were dressed nicely; wearing a long-sleeved white dress shirt and black vest with matching black dress pants. People and couples sat in tables laughing and eating. Videl couldn't help but gaze at the amazingly unique restaurant from the entrance.

"Are you sure you want to eat here? It seems really expensive." Videl asked.

"Of course!" The muscular man replied. "Table for two please." He said to the waiter who was patiently waiting for the couple. The waiter lead them to their table and the young couple sat.

Boy, this is gonna be a great night! Videl thought.

†≈Ω≈†

The two people had finished their meal and decided to both go and take a walk in the park and catch up on more things. It was only 9:30 so they had lots of time.

"...so then Vegeta totally freaked when he found out that the gravity room was broken. He demanded that it got fixed right away. But all he got was a frying pan to the back of his head!" Videl explained as she finished it off by laughing.

"Wow! Vegeta really is something!" Her boyfriend laughed, while swiping a finger across his eye as if there were tears.

"Then he went out to train Trunks without Bulma's permission which ended up in a catastrophe." Videl continued. "Bulma yelled at him then banished him from the bedroom for a week!"

Mr. Boyfriend laughed even harder and said trying his best to complete the sentence, "It would...suck...to be...Vegeta...right...now!" Videl nodded in agreement as she finally calmed down.

"What about you? Got any cool stories to tell me?" Videl asked.

The guy rubbed the bottom of his chin as an act of thinking until he finally said, "Well my brother did finally move out and went to go live with his girlfriend in Takia." He started to smile as he started to remember the event clearly in his head. "My brother got everything he owned and needed and went to the airport. When he got to the airport, he was already late and rushed in to get to his plane on time.

"On his way, he practically knocked down everyone in his way while the security were chasing him. Luckily he made it into the plane just in time. He got on the plane and fell asleep." He laughed. "Then when he woke up, he got out and guess what?"

"What?" Videl asked.

"He went on the wrong plane!" He bursted out laughing, as did Videl, but continued on with the story. "He called our parents and told them his situation. He was stuck. In Haran. That's all the way on the other side of the country! He doesn't have enough money to get another ticket."

"So then what about his girfriend? Hina, was it?" Videl asked

"She knows, but she's totally pissed for him being so careless. She yelled at him through the phone, breaking his ear drums. So he says anyways." He replied. He looked at his watch and realized how late it was.

"Holy! I gotta get my sister! I'm sorry." The dark-haired man told her.

"It's ok." Videl replied.

He bent down and kissed her. They both closed their eyes and wrapped their arms around each other. They pulled each other closer, deepening the kiss. She forgot how it felt like when she kiss it him. It has been too long since the last time they did this. It was ecstatic!

"Good night, Videl."

"Good night," Videl paused as she kissed him one more kiss, "Ayako." (A/N thought it was Gohan didn't you?)

She watched him as he ran off and his figure fade into the darkness. She decided that it was time for her to go home too. Videl turned around and walked the other way in the direction of home. She couldn't help but think how much she missed him.

No not him.

As in Ayako.

No not him.

As she put more and more thought into it, she realized how little time she actually thought of Ayako. Sure she missed her boyfriend but not as much as she missed one of her best friends. She missed being open with him when she had no one else to talk to. When she had no one else to go to for advice. He was the one who had changed her first, but she let him get away.

Why did you leave? Videl thought. She closed her eyes and remembered something her mother told her a long time

Ω Flashback Ω

Videl was at school. Another kindergarden day has ended and the kids who were waiting for their parents were outside on the playground, playing and laughing. They were so carefree that it could make adults envious of their current emotions.

Videl was playing with another boy her age. Even though her dad told her, 'Well I forbid you to be with any boy until I he can show me he can protect my precious little angel. Otherwise, deck him!' This boy was different.

"Hey Videl, can I tell you something?" The boy asked.

"Sure thing Alex."

"I'm going to be bye bye next week." The one named Alex said.

"What? No! Don't leave!" Videl started to tear up.

"I don't want to but I have to." Alex said beginning to cry as well. Their little moment was interrupted when a car horn honked. The two kids turned and saw Videl's mom waiting in the car.

"Well that's my mom. Bye." Videl said as she hugged Alex.

"Bye Videl." Alex hugged Videl back. Videl ran back to her car and hopped in. During the way home, Videl thought of something.

"Mom, how do you know when you really like someone?" Videl asked her mother. "You know? The One? Like you always say."

"You'll know who that one person is when he holds a place in your heart. When you do find that person, hold on to him and never let him go. Because if you do, you may never find another one like him." Her mother had told her in a soothing voice. Videl was like a miniature version of her mother. She had her determination, her beautiful sea blue eyes, her long silky black hair and most of all, her big heart. But she was also like her father, with his strength, his courage and his pride.

"But how will I know when if he's the one for me mommy?" Little Videl asked her mom.

Her mom pushed back some strands of hair behind her ear and replied quietly, "You'll feel something in your heart. Especially when he's gone from your life. When he's gone, you'll be very sad. But when you're with him, you'll feel very happy."

"Is that how you felt like when you were with daddy, mommy?" Videl snickered at her question.

Her mom smiled at her and simply said, "Yes." Videl just smiled widely. "Promise me you'll remember what I said. I want you to grow up and be happy with the man you love.'

"Ok mommy. I will remember. But love is yucky!" Little Videl said smiling happily, as she started to think of Alex, while her mom only laughed at her child-like thoughts.

† End Flashback †

The memory caused a tear to roll down Videl's cheek. It's been over 18 years since her mother told her that. And it's been over 10 years since she passed away. She's lost so many people already, and the most recent one she lost was Gohan. But the disappearance of Gohan affected her more than anything.

After a long walk and a long time contemplating, she finally reached home. Her house is probably the largest in the city, next to the mayor's, but that's entirely because her father was the world champion the one who the ferocious monster known as Cell. Although it could sometimes be hard to believe that her own Dad beat Cell. Almost impossible. But she knew her dad was the strongest in the world. She strived to become just like him.

Videl sighed and entered her property. She opened the large, metal gates, which kept the unwanted out, and started walking up the paved driveway. She thought about her date today and thought about how she was so impatient earlier today for the date. Today was such a blessing! Hopefully Ayako would come again before school started.

He better come! That date did not equal 20 of them.

Something caught Videl's eye as she approached the front steps. She turned to what attracted her attention. Videl saw an outline of a figure in the darkness just before it slipped her sight. Cautiously, she decided to investigate it. When she arrived at her destination, she couldn't see anyone anymore.

Funny. Thought I saw someone. Guess my mind's playing tricks on me. She thought. The lack of crime fighting is getting to me.

The fighter within her told her, No. Stay careful. You know what you saw.

Deciding to listen to the fighter and listened carefully. Her eyes were alert, and so was her body. Videl was in her fighting stance, just in case someone was truly there. A few moments of silence and her heart started to beat faster. She checked her surroundings until she heard the rustling of leaves.. She immediately turned to the source of the sound. Videl relaxed as she saw an silhouette of a bird.

"Stupid bird." Videl mumbled.

She walked back and opened the door to her house. When she entered, she kicked of her shoes and placed them neatly by the door. There in front of her, stood their butler.

"Ah, good evening Ms. Satan." The butler greeted. "Master Hercule was wondering when you would get home. Thankfully you arrived home safely. Had fun on your date?" The butler smiled teasingly.

"Oh please. Enough with the formalities. Videl is just fine." Videl ordered. "As a matter of fact, yes I did. I had a wonderful time. Thanks for asking, Jiro."

"As you wish, Ms...um..Videl." Jiro responded. "Your father is waiting for you in the living room."

"Thank you, Jiro. You are dismissed." Videl told him. Jiro bowed and left the area.

Her house was practically a mansion. As soon as you entered, you'd be greeted by the majestic stairs which were in the middle back of the room which separated in two different directions. The living room was on the first floor so she walked over there. She entered and there sat her father, Hercule Satan, on a couch watching some of his old martial arts tapes.

"HAHA! Yea! That's right! You can't win against the champ! BWAHAHAHA!" Hercule praised himself as he did ridiculous poses, worthy of the Ginyu force. Videl rolled her eyes at the sight of her father. She crossed her arms and shook her head. He never changes.

"Dad? You wanted to see me?" Videl interrupted her dad's...umm...private time. Hercule looked to find her daughter standing there, arms crossed. He laughed nervously. She didn't see that, did she?

He cleared his throat and said, "Yes. I wanted to know how your date went."

"It was fine." Videl said emotionless. She never bothered to really talk to her dad about these things.

"If that punk ever happens to-" Hercule was interrupted by his only daughter.

"Dad! He's not like that!" Videl defended Ayako. Her father 'humphed'. Videl rolled her eyes and left the room. She went up the stairs and went through twists and turns around corners in her large house. Finally she reached her bed.

She changed into her pyjamas and plopped down in her soft and comfortable bed. She pulled her blanket over her and began to think again.

Gohan

It's been four long years since that day. The very day where Videl's life changed. For the better or for the worse, she hasn't decided for sure yet. She was heartbroken when Gohan left her so suddenly. She wished she hadn't cause him any harm. Her heart broke when she broke his. Why did she do it? even she's not sure.

Ω Flashback Ω

A group of four went to party at one of their friend's house. In the group of four, there were Erasa, Sharpner, Videl and Gohan. The group were all inside Sharpner's hovercar and were on their way to the party.

All of them dressed up in their casual clothes. Videl in her white t-shirt and black shorts with her hair in pigtails, Gohan in a baggy shirt and pants, his hair defying gravity, Sharpner in his tight shirts and Erasa with a low neck-line shirt. Probably hoping to seduce some guy at the party.

Sharpner was at the driver's seat with Erasa at his side. Videl and Gohan were at the back, holding hands when their friends weren't looking, which was hardly the case! Gohan and Videl had been secretly together for two weeks now. They didn't want their friends to know, although they were already suspicious of the two.

Erasa squealed, "AHHH! Can you believe it? We were invited to the hottest party of the year. Not to mention the hottest senior!"

Gohan closed his ears from the terrible shrieking, "Gahh! Could you keep it down a little Erasa?"

"Sorry, Gohan. Forgot you had sensitive ears." Erasa apologized.

"It's alright."

"Man, this is gonna be the best party Kizaku's ever thrown!" Sharpner stated. "I'm gonna get so drunk today!" Gohan's face darkened at Sharpner's last statement. Videl noticed this and giggled.

'SHE NEVER GIGGLES!' thought Erasa. 'There has to be something going on those two.' Erasa glared at the couple. She's had the biggest suspicion of their secret relationship. Sharpner, being the oblivious guy he is, he doesn't notice anything at all!

"Don't worry, Gohan." Videl assured him. "You don't have to drink the alcohol. It's only for the idiots at the party." She smirked.

"Hey!" Sharpner protested. They all laughed while an embarrassed blonde sat in the front. "I'm not that stupid!"

A few minutes later, the four finally reached their location. They all got out and walked to the door. Even from the street, they could hear the music being blasted at max volume. Erasa rang the doorbell excitedly, and jumped up and down in excitement and a little bit of nervousness. The door was answered shortly after. The door flung open and there stood the stunner himself, Kizaku. Erasa looked as if she was about to faint right there and then.

"Sharpner, my man! Glad you could make it!" Kizaku tried shouting over the music. The two buddies did the manly one-hand hug.

"Great to be here!" Sharpner responded with enthusiasm. "C'mon. Let's PARTY!" Videl rolled her eyes. Gohan was hesitant to go in, but Videl gave him a reassuring look. Now Erasa wasted no time and dashed into the house.

As soon as Gohan entered the room, his ears started hurting. Luckily, his amazingly beautiful and thoughtful girlfriend had brought some ear muffs to help block out the loud music. The four friends split up and went to party by themselves. Although Gohan just went to the backyard hoping to be away from all the music...and alcohol. He got away from the music, but not the alcohol. Instead, there were smokers outside.

'Dang. There's no place safe here.' he thought.

Erasa went to flirt with a lot of boys and Sharpner did the same, except with girls. Although Sharpner had the bad end of luck, getting slapped a couple of times on the cheek. If you were there, you'd be able to see the red hand marks.

Videl on the other hand, went to look around the house looking for something. For someone She checked the dance floor, the living room, the backyard, but couldn't find who she was looking for. After what seemed like hours, she finally found that person. Smiling, she ran up and jumped on him, giving him a big hug.

It was then when all things went wrong.

† End Flashback †

"Gohan, I miss you." Videl said as tears flowed down her cheek. "I'm sorry." She somehow made out before falling into a deep sleep.
