It's the moment ya'll been waiting for! DBZ Trap! Sorry to some of the folks who chose something else, but this story got the most votes. After I post about two chapters of this, I'll see if I can post the other fics ya'll wanted.
Oh, yeah, a couple of notes:
Ok, when this guy tells you that all your ideas suck, then demands you post one of his ideas, what does this tell you?
And can someone please tell me what was wrong with my 'Savior' idea? I mean, ok, maybe there are some stories out there with a demon takin' over someone's body, but does the story say that Hercule's body gets taken over by some psycho-path demon, kills everyone in sight, and Videl's the only one who could save him, and ends up dying in the end? I didn't mean to be rude- sorry- but if there is a story similar to that, can someone please tell me which one it is?
And were all these stories rip-offs of movies? (I don't think DBZ trap counts since Gohan and Videl don't even have children in this story)
Oh, yeah, and the 'Samurai's Sword' plot isn't true, but the sword lost at sea is. Like I said, it takes place in an alternate universe.
Ok, sorry I did that. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or "Breathe" by Greenwheel or "Parent Trap" plot line.
Chapter One
Videl sighed as she heard Gohan pull up the driveway.
She fiddled with the beautiful wedding ring on her finger, which she had been given to about a year ago, and was proud to wear it six months ago.
Now she wasn't sure if the ring meant anything anymore.
She jumped when the door opened, revealing a stressed out Gohan, who snapped her out of her sad reverie.
She smiled at him as he walked to her, she opened her mouth to say something, but quickly shut it when he went past her without a word.
She frowned a bit. She was tired of this.
'He can't even say "hi" to me? Or perhaps even smile?' She thought sadly, deciding she had enough.
/I played the fool today/
/And I can see us vanishing into the crowd/
/Longing for home again/
/But home is a feeling I buried in you/
She knocked on the bedroom door, planning out her wording carefully.
"Come in", she heard a voice sigh.
She opened the door a crack, hoping to find him reading a book, but he was on that stupid computer again.
'It's like he's married to that thing instead of me', she thought harshly.
"Videl, I'm sorry but I have a lot of work to do", Gohan began, typing fast.
"Well, maybe that's why you're stressed out", she started, "You're always working and barely relaxing. I mean, I'm pretty sure you got some rest when all those villains were killed. This work seems like the worst antagonist. We should go out to dinner with everyone, Gohan. It would be nice for a change."
"I would like to, Videl, really. But I have this work due and…"
She couldn't take it anymore.
"Gohan", she said coldly, "I know you're trying to help us live a good life. But we can't live a good life if we barely talk to each other! You don't talk to me, you don't hug me, you don't kiss me. Heck, you don't even look at me!"
/I'm alright, I'm alright/
/It only hurts when I breathe/
/And I can't ask for things to be still again/
/No I can't ask for you/
/To offer the world in your eyes/
Gohan stopped typing, looking blankly at the screen, "Is this what this is about? You not getting enough attention?"
Videl was boiling up, "Gohan! You don't give me any attention! You don't even give your friends or family attention. They always ask me 'Where's Gohan?' when I show up to gatherings at CC. And you know what I say? I say 'I'm sorry. He's at work'. Do you know how embarrassing that is? To tell your family that he cares more about his work than he does his family?"
Gohan finally looked at Videl and said, "I care about my family."
"Well it sure as hell don't look like it!"
/Longing for home again/
/But home is a feeling I buried in you/
/I'm alright, I'm alright/
/It only hurts when I breathe/
"Videl, you're overreacting. I'm doing this so we can be happy. Don't you want that?"
Videl softened a bit, her eyes filling with tears, "Gohan, that's all I ever wanted. But we can't have that. How can we be happy if only one of us is here, being lonely? Six months after our honeymoon, it felt like you didn't care about me anymore. And if you keep this up, it would feel like you don't love me anymore."
Gohan stood up, looking in her eyes and said sternly, "Videl of course I love you."
Videl waited.
She waited for him to say more.
Waited for him to come and embrace her.
To hold and kiss her.
To tell her that he'd always love her and say he was sorry.
But he didn't.
/I'm alright, I'm alright/
/It only hurts when I breathe/
Instead, he stood there, looking blankly at her.
"Then why can't you show it?" she sobbed.
It looked like Gohan thought a moment, then came toward her, but she stepped back.
He gave her a confused look.
"Gohan, you think about everything. You think it twice over. But you shouldn't think twice about loving your wife."
/My window through which/
/Nothing hides/
/And everything sings/
/I'm counting the signs/
/Cursing the miles in between/
Videl looked at the ring on her finger, twisting it round and round, "I can't live like this, Gohan. I don't think anyone can."
She gently slipped the ring off her finger. She slowly walked to the shocked Gohan, placed the ring in his hand and immediately began to pack.
/But home is a feeling I buried in you/
/That I buried in you/
/I'm alright, I'm alright/
/It only hurts when I breathe/

"Damn it! I said stop!" the raven-haired beauty called, running after a small boy about the age of twelve.
But no matter what the NYPD police officer said, the boy kept on running.
'Pretty fast', she thought as she chased him through the streets.
Although the boy was mighty fast, he was still surprised the petite woman could still follow him. But he still ran.
'Man, think of what Mom will do', he thought, as he used this pondering for fuel. It was obvious he didn't want to get caught.
She was now getting mad. Really mad. "Ok, enough of this shit", she muttered.
As the boy ran he didn't hear any footsteps following. Slowing down his pace, he looked behind him. Sure enough the woman was gone.
He was now in a brisk jog, about to celebrate when a figure appeared out of thin air right in front him, causing him to stumble onto the woman.
"Sorry", he mumbled as he quickly got up. But as he looked at her, he thought she was pretty familiar.
Ocean orbs.
Long black hair.
Kind of short.
"Videl?!?!" he cried as she got up.
Videl looked at the boy, gaped at him, saying "Goten?"
Goten gave a big grin and hugged her tightly.
Videl, still in shock, wrapped her arms around the boy, his hair poking her face.
She pulled away and asked, "Goten, what are you doing here?"
Goten's grin got bigger (if possible) as he said, "Bulma said that Vegeta was going crazy and that everyone needed a vacation. So we came to New York. Wow, you're a police officer! Just like at home, right?"
Videl grimaced slightly, but Goten didn't notice. "Um, yeah, let me walk you to your hotel."
"Actually, it's a motel, but ok!" Goten said happily.
"So, how is everyone?"
"They're good. Piccolo, Krillin, 18, Marron, Mr. Roshi, and Gohan didn't come though. Piccolo is meditating and Gohan is working."
'Figures'. "How's my dad?"
Goten stopped walking. "Um… he… he fell into a coma." He said softly
Videl stopped walking too, "How?'
"Someone ran over him with a car. It was an accident though."
Videl stopped breathing.
Goten saw her uneasiness and quickly said, "Erasa and Sharpner got married!"
Videl silently thanked him as they continued their walk, "That's great!"
They walked in silence, not knowing exactly what to say.
'Wow, it's been two years since I've seen them all', Videl thought, 'I really missed them.'
Soon, the motel came into view with three familiar ki's waiting outside.
TBC!
Ha! You cannot say that was a short chapter! Oh, yeah, and please don't kill me for making Gohan like that! Anywho, tell me what you think!
Bye-Z!
