A/N: Idea I had. Always wondered whether Future Gohan ever met Videl so i thought I'd write something for it. There will be one more chapter after this, though this itself could read as a short one-shot if i wanted to. But hopefully I won't be that lazy. Read and tell me what you think in a review, thanks!
There is no end for us
The large setting sun filled the horizon as two figures were seen on a grassy field. The younger of the two was sitting on the grass trying to catch his breath while the older stood patiently waiting close by. The younger boy had on grey sweatpants and a t-shirt and had light purple hair. The older one had black hair and multiple scars on his face, he was wearing an orange gi and a blue shirt underneath. Both were half-saiyans.
"Alright Trunks, that's enough for today," The older one said, breaking the silence. "Let's head over to my place."
"Sure Gohan but…" Trunks asked, "Why so soon? It's not dark yet." The purple haired teen pulled himself to his feet and stretched.
Gohan scratched his head, "It's a surprise. There's someone I want you to meet. Don't worry you'll like her."
Trunks raised an eyebrow. "Her? What, are we meeting your girlfriend or something Gohan?" A look of surprise crossed Gohan's face for a moment; he hadn't expected Trunks to guess so quickly.
"Well you'll have to find out for yourself bro," Gohan said, and without warning he jumped into the air and flew off.
"Hey wait up!" Trunks yelled up before flying off in pursuit of his friend.
"This is part of your training too Trunks, see if you can keep up with me!" Gohan chuckled slightly as he sped up. The fields and forests passed them by and were soon replaced by a small city. Though it hadn't completely avoided the destruction of the androids (few place have by now) it was still relatively intact.
It was a cloudy day so the two half-saiyans could easily fly high enough not to be noticed by anyone looking up. Not that they meant any harm but the only people that the citizens of earth knew that could fly were the androids and Gohan and Trunks didn't want to be mistaken for them.
They flew over the ruins of the city before passing the shopping district; they were headed to the east side where Gohan had a small apartment. Trunks had never been there before but he had the general idea of where it was. They landed in an abandoned alleyway before continuing the rest of the way on foot.
They reached Gohan's apartment door but before he could unlock it they heard what sounded like a girl inside fighting. They heard battle cries and grunts. Acting on instinct Gohan ripped the door open and sprang inside. After a few sharp turns with Trunks right on his tail Gohan entered a room to find a young woman around his age punching and kicking heavily on a big red punching bag.
With a yell and one final kick the punching bag hit the wall and the girl stopped attacking and instead stood panting. She had short black hair which glistened with sweat covering it and the rest of her. After a moment of panting she turned to look at the two half-saiyans.
"Hey Gohan, I didn't think you'd be home for a while."
"Hi Videl, I guess your okay." She gave him a look, "We heard you and thought you might have been in trouble. False alarm I guess."
Videl merely shrugged and walked over to Trunks. "So you must be Trunks right? Gohan's told me all about you, you're a half-saiyan like him right?"
"Y-Yeah, that's me. Are you Gohan's…girlfriend?"
"Yup," Videl said as she put her hands on her hips. "I'm Videl, didn't Gohan tell you that?"
Trunks shook his head. "No, he said it was a surprise." At this Videl punched Gohan on the arm. This only frustrated her more because it didn't hurt him of course, instead her hand hurt.
"You jerk, we live in a world where two monster androids can blow up cities and you regularly go fight them yet you won't even tell your best friend you're dating me?" Videl crossed her arms angrily; she was definitely more frustrated than sad.
"Sorry Videl, you're right. It won't happen again, okay?" He said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind. She would never tell him but she always felt like melting in his arms when he did this.
"It better not." She replied before walking out into the halls; the two males followed her out into the hall. Unfortunately for Gohan and Trunks when they got back into the living room Videl saw what happened to the door…
"What the hell? Gohan did you break the door down again?!?!" She yelled at him after looking at the remains of the broken door.
"Oh crap, sorry Videl. Don't worry I'll fix it!" Gohan rushed over to the entrance and picked up the door. Videl told him she was going to shower before dinner as he tried to find a way to fix the door. When she had left the room Trunks turned to Gohan.
"Dude your girlfriend is scary."
"Ha ha yeah I know. She can be like that sometimes."
She's a lot like your mom. Why would you go out with someone just like your mom?" This astounded young trunks.
"Really? I hadn't thought of that." Gohan pondered that for a moment. "I think she's a lot different than mom, but I can see where you're coming from. That's just what you see on the surface though bro."
"Yeah whatever," Trunks lazily replied as he lounged on the nearby couch. "All I'm saying is I'd rather piss off the androids than your girlfriend." Gohan laughed as he forced the front door back into position. After he made sure it wasn't about to fall over, Gohan walked over to the couch and sat next to Trunks.
They turned on the TV and watched a news report about recent android activity until Videl came out of the shower. "Alright Gohan lets eat!" He agreed and Gohan jumped off the couch and headed for the kitchen. Trunks looked around confused but decided to follow him.
"Gohan you're not going to cook are you?"
"Heck no," He said with a laugh. "I can't cook and neither can Videl. You know how my mom is well she gave us some premade meals so all I have to do is heat them up." He pulled one out of the refrigerator and pushed it into the nearby oven. After a few minutes passed Gohan pulled out the casserole and they all sat down at the table outside the kitchen to eat.
They started eating in silence, something Trunks wasn't used to. Normally he and his mom would eat together and either argue or have the TV on. "So Videl," He asked. "How'd you meet Gohan? I can't see him going out and looking for a date." Gohan shot Trunks a glare but then a smirk to signify he was just kidding.
"Well," Videl started to answer as she swallowed what she was eating. "I guess I was in Stream city when the androids showed up and then Gohan sort of….saved me…" Her sentence grew quieter as it progressed into barely a whisper.
Trunks' had missed half of Videl's story and gave her a quizzical look, not realizing he had stopped his fork halfway towards his mouth. Gohan saw Trunks' expression and decided to fill in the holes in the story.
"Basically Trunks I heard the androids were attacking Stream city and flew over there. When I landed Videl was trying to take them both on. She's only human so I knew that would be bad so I saved her."
"Usually when I save someone they thank me, Videl however started yelling at me, telling me it was none of my business. We got to talking as I tried to calm her down and to make a long story short we ended up together a few weeks later."
"You sure cut out a lot at the end didn't you Gohan?" Trunks chided Gohan.
"You don't need to hear the details," Videl responded. Trunks glared but didn't say anything back.
"So why were you trying to take the androids on?" Trunks asked, hoping this was a safe subject.
"They killed my dad, and I wasn't just going to take it sitting down; I had to do something." She stated calmly before taking another bite.
"Oh sorry," Trunks realized this might not have been a safe subject after all. "If it means anything they killed my dad too. Course I was only one so I didn't really know him."
"That's horrible; I can't believe they continue to get away with that." At this she grabbed her boyfriend around the neck, "But don't worry Trunks. Gohan over here's going to take care of them soon aren't you?" The end of her sentence almost sounded like a genuine threat.
Gohan laughed uncomfortably, "Of course. I've almost got their pattern down, soon I'll be strong enough and the world will be rid of them forever!" At this Gohan slammed his hands down on the table in excitement. Unfortunately the table wasn't built to be hit by a half-saiyan and it broke under the pressure; all the food fell to the floor as well.
"Oh geez Gohan, not again!" Videl sighed as she stood up to get a mop. Gohan apologized over and over again while Trunks just sat there and laughed. After cleaning up the mess it was getting late and Trunks had to head home since he lived with his mom in a completely different city.
"Hey Trunks," Gohan called out to him before he flew off. "I'm going to teach Videl how to fly tomorrow, want to come help? I know it's not training but it'll be fun." Trunks agreed before flying off, happy that his bleak life seemed a little brighter.
