Teenage Saiyans and Superheroes

Chapter 1 : Rescues
Gohan jerked upright in his bed. He untangled himself from the covers so he could look over at the clock. It was three in the morning.
"Oh, boy. What was I dreaming about to wake me up this early?" He said as he groggily rubbed his eyes. Then he remembered. He blushed even though he was alone.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I dreaming about her again? She's really nice and all, except when she's trying to discover who Saiyaman is." He smiled slightly and rolled onto his stomach. He put both hands under his pillow and shut his eyes.
"Wonder if she's thinking about me." he murmured right as he drifted off to sleep again.
Videl's eyes popped open. She thought she had heard someone say her name, but almost as if they were in a dream or really far away. She sat up and looked at the clock. It was three in the morning.
"Ugh. Way too early to get up for school." She tiptoed out into the hallway and looked around. Nobody was there. Her eyebrows furrowed together.
"How strange. I know I heard somebody say my name." She went back into her room and sat on the window seat that was underneath her big bay window.
Her eyes glanced up at the sky, looking for stars but unable to see them because of the many streetlights. She sighed and placed her head on her knees. The cloth felt cool against her cheek. That's the one thing she had always hated about the city-she couldn't ever see the stars.
"I bet you could see them at Gohan's house." She said without thinking. She shook her head and blinked as she realized what she had said. "Why am I thinking about Gohan's house? I've never even been there." She looked thoughtful for a moment.
"He did say he lived in the mountains, though. Guess that's what I remembered." She shrugged and made her way back to her bed. She yawned as she sat back down. "Can't forget, I have school tomorrow." she said while she snuggled under the covers.
"Hey Videl, are you going on that trip with the Honors Club this weekend?" Erasa asked Videl at lunch that day. Videl shook her head and finished chewing a bite of her ham and cheese sandwich.
"My dad won't let me go on an overnight trip. And besides, I'd rather stay home and train." Erasa smiled "You're going aren't you?"
"Yeah. So is Sharpner."
"Is Gohan going?" Videl asked, almost without thinking.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask him. He and Sharpner are headed this way." Erasa nodded her head in the direction of the two approaching males. Videl turned just as Gohan sat down in the seat next to her.
"Hey there, Videl." He smiled.
"Hi Gohan." Videl smiled back. Then she remembered that morning and turned away as she felt her cheeks begin to color slightly. Sharpner sat down next to Erasa and stole one of her fries. Erasa glared at him and stole one of his chips.
"So, Gohan," Erasa started, turning away from Sharpner. "Are you going on that field trip this weekend with the Honors Club?" Gohan shook his head. "Why not? You're in all Honors classes. I thought you would want to go." Gohan shrugged as he took a sip of his drink.
"I don't think my mom would have let me go."
"You mean you didn't even ask her?" Erasa said, slightly surprised.
"You haven't met my mom, Erasa. She's. well, very overprotective. And trust me, you don't want to get on her bad side. She has quite a temper. My dad was even scared of her." Gohan smiled.
"Wow, Gohan. Your mom sounds like the exact opposite of you. You don't have a temper at all, do ya?" Videl asked jokingly. Gohan blushed and looked down at his lunch tray.
"Well, actually."
"What? You mean you're really a tough guy underneath all that shyness?" Videl smirked. Gohan blushed even more, if that was possible. Erasa looked between the two, wondering if she saw what she thought she did.
"So, what are ya'll gonna do while we're gone? Be totally bored to tears?" Sharpner asked as he raised his eyebrows. Videl rolled her eyes.
"Please, spare me. We'll probably have more fun since you guys are gone." She looped her arm through Gohan's. "Isn't that right, Gohan." He almost choked on his pizza when she put his arm through his.
"Um, yeah." Gohan finally managed to get out. Sharpner and Videl hadn't noticed Gohan's reaction, so they kept picking at each other. Erasa, on the other hand, had seen Gohan's face. I bet they're going to have more fun than they think.
Gohan noticed Erasa looking at him and smiled uncomfortably. Videl's arm was still looped through his. Erasa giggled and winked at him. Gohan felt his face turn red again. Sharpner and Videl had stopped their verbal battle, since both of them were rather hungry.
"Um, Videl?" Gohan asked nervously. She looked up at him. He swallowed.
"What?" He looked down at their arms. She laughed.
"Sorry! I guess you can't eat like that can you?" she said as she removed her arm from his. Gohan blushed and shook his head. Phew. That was embarrassing. Gohan thought to himself as he resumed eating. But he couldn't forget how warm she had felt, pressed up against him.
"Bye, Videl! Bye Gohan! See you on Monday!" Erasa and Sharpner yelled out of the bus windows as they pulled away. It was eight o'clock on Thursday morning and Videl and Gohan had come to say goodbye. As the bus pulled out of the parking lot, Videl turned to Gohan.
"Phew! Thank goodness we got rid of them." She pretended to wipe sweat off her forehead. Gohan laughed. As they walked up to the doors, Videl glanced over at Gohan, who was staring up at the sky wistfully.
Man, I don't even know what to talk about with him! She realized. Great, just great. We'll spend the next to days not talking at all. She smirked as an idea came to her.
That's no fun. And besides, he's still on my suspect list for Great Saiyaman. He's so mysterious that I don't even know anything about him at all. How about we find out if Gohan really does have a tough side.
"Hey, Gohan?" He just kept staring up at the sky. She looked up, half expecting to see Great Saiyaman, but there was nothing there. She looked back at Gohan's face. He looked almost like he was searching the skies for something. or someone. She placed her hand on his arm.
"Gohan?" He stiffened at her touch, so she brought her hand away.
"Yeah, what is it Videl?" He asked innocently as he brought his eyes away from the endless sky and once again put his barriers up. She looked at him intently.
"Are you alright?" She could see him swallow.
"Yeah, of course. Why?" She looked down at the ground.
"You were staring up at the sky, like you were looking for something. Then when I said your name, you acted like you didn't hear me."
"I'm sorry Videl. I was just thinking." Her eyes flicked up to his face.
"About." He sighed.
"A lot of stuff." She sidled closer to him.
"Don't wanna tell me, do ya?" He glanced over at her, surprised. He smiled slightly.
"I can't." Her eyes looked slightly disappointed, and for the barest of seconds, Videl thought she saw.pain.resentment.but as fast as the thought had flown into her head, the look was gone. They walked back up to school in silence.
"Psst, Videl." Christy, the girl who sat behind Videl in English said. Videl turned to look at her. Christy had long brown hair and blue eyes, which at that moment were sparkling mischievously.
"Yeah, what?" Videl whispered back. Christy smiled.
"So what's up with you and Gohan?" Videl almost fell out of her chair.
"Wh. What.do you mean?" Christy raised one eyebrow.
"Don't play innocent with me Videl. You guys were walking together this morning, and I saw the way he was looking at you." Videl looked over at Gohan, who was sitting two seats away. She looked back at Christy.
"There's nothing going on between us." Christy looked rather let down, but suspicious. Videl cleared her throat and leaned in closer to her. "What do you mean, you saw the way he was looking at me? How was he looking at me?" Christy's face lit up as she leaned in as if she was going to spill a juicy secret.
"Whenever you looked down at the ground, he looked at you like." she paused, "he loved you." Videl really did fall out of her chair.
"Oh my gosh! Videl are you okay?" Christy asked as she stood up. She looked down to see Videl sitting on the floor with her mouth hanging open. She couldn't help but giggle at the sight of it.
Gohan's head had jerked up as soon as he heard the thump. He looked over to see Videl sitting on the floor. The girl who sat above and behind her, he thought her name was Christy, was laughing.
"Um, Videl? Why are you sitting on the floor? Are you hurt?" Gohan asked while trying to figure out what was going on. The professor had noticed the disturbance.
"Excuse me. Do we have a problem up there?" Videl was back in her seat faster than lightning. Gohan blinked.
"No sir, professor. I just fell out of my chair, that's all." He made a face, but went back to his lesson. Gohan leaned over towards Videl.
"Videl are you alright?" She nodded and kept her eyes on the front of the classroom. Gohan leaned back into his chair and shook his head.
Videl's alarm on her watch went off. She pressed a button and spoke into it.
"What is it captain?" The captain's voice was accompanied by static, but it wasn't loud enough to interfere with the conversation.
"Videl, we have a bank robbery on South Avenue. There's at least a dozen of them. We can't handle them all by ourselves!" A gunshot could be heard in the background.
"I'll be right there." Videl ran down the steps. "Sorry, professor." She yelled as she ran by the Chemistry teacher.
"No problem Videl." He said, going right back to his demonstration about what happens when you mix copper sulfate and hydronium.
Gohan felt a sweatdrop run down his back. There's no way Videl can handle that many! She'll get herself killed. That thought made Gohan break into a cold sweat. He stood up and ran down the steps, in much the same manner that Videl had. He paused briefly in front of the professor.
"Bathroom." Without waiting for him to answer, he ran out the door. The teacher just shook his head.
"As I was saying class."
Gohan rushed up onto the roof and pressed the button on his watch. Several beams of light radiated from his body as he transformed into the Great Saiyaman. He flew off the roof with speed greater than that of an airplane. He was pushed along faster by the thought of Videl being hurt.
In almost no time he was above the bank. There were police cars parked outside, and there were shots coming at them from inside the bank. Gohan looked among the people huddled behind the cars.
He didn't see Videl. There was a horrible twisting feeling in his stomach. Then he saw a flash of movement by the back door.
"Videl." He whispered, his voice hoarse. He flew down and landed in front of the building. Bullets whizzed at him, but he caught them easily in his hands. He ran inside and saw the man who had been shooting. His face was covered by a navy ski mask and his gun was pointed straight at Gohan's head.
"Goodbye, Mr. Saiyaman." He said with an evil voice. Gohan formed a small energy blast and fired it at the man. It didn't kill him, it only knocked him out. He fell over limply.
Gohan looked around for the door that led to the back and saw it behind the counter. He leapt over it easily and broke the door down with his foot. His eyes went wide at the sight he saw.
Most of the men were busy collecting their treasure, but two of them were occupied by another task. Videl was slumped up against the wall, her eyes barely open. Her left arm was bleeding from a bullet wound, and there was a deep cut running down her right calf.
Gohan felt the anger well up inside him. At that moment he had no emotion in him except pure and utter hatred for the men who were hurting Videl. And for Gohan, hatred was a much guarded and seldom felt emotion.
He launched himself at the closest villain, not thinking about whether or not he might accidentally kill him. He punched the first one in the gut, and the thief coughed up blood before he fell over. Gohan didn't even wait to see the outcome of his attack, he was already kicking the next one down onto the floor. As he hit the ground, Gohan heard something crack. To his great surprise and astonishment, he didn't care what it had been.
He turned to see the rest of the gang coming at him. He caught all their bullets and took them all down swiftly. Never pausing in his continuous battle to protect Videl. Before the last one even hit the ground, he was at her side and wiping the sweat off her brow with his cape. She was breathing in gasps.
"Saiya.man." She whispered right before she passed out cold.
"She'll be alright. Don't worry."
"You're sure there's nothing wrong?"
"That's what I said, son. Those wounds should be healed in no time." Videl heard the voices as if they were very far away. She opened her eyes slowly. She was surrounded by white. Everything in the room was white. She turned her head and almost blinked at the bright object she saw there.
Wait, she thought. That's Saiyaman! Now I remember. I guess he brought me here. Neither the doctor or Saiyaman had noticed she was awake. She slowly swung her legs over the edge of the hospital bed so as not to get dizzy, and coughed lightly to get their attention. They both turned around so quickly she was afraid they would get whiplash. Ironically, the doctor rubbed his neck slightly as if he had.
"Videl!" Saiyaman cried in shock, not showing any sign that his neck hurt. Videl narrowed her eyes. He doesn't usually sound that like. His voice is deeper. But when he talks that he sounds like. She felt faint as it hit her. He sounds like Gohan.
"Are you alright, Miss Videl?" Saiyaman asked. Videl noticed that he was standing beside her. "You looked like you might faint." She shook her head.
"No, I'm fine." He sounds like Saiyaman now. That's weird. Maybe I was imagining it. She noticed the bandages on her arms and legs. She smiled slightly and looked up at Saiyaman, even though she couldn't see his eyes.
"Thanks, Saiyaman." He grinned and saluted her.
"No problem, Miss Videl." She smiled back. He's such a nutcase. "Well, I must be going, Miss Videl. I have to get back to." Gohan stopped himself just in time. "my duties. See ya later!"
He flew out the window, which was conveniently open. It was a good thing, too. Gohan was so flustered that if it had been shut, he would have slammed right into it. As he flew over the city, he let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding.
I'm so stupid! I can't believe I almost said I had to go back to school! That would have totally blown my cover! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
"Oh my gosh, Videl! I heard what happened!"
"Hey Videl, I heard you got shot in seven places! Is that true?"
"Thank goodness for Saiyaman! Bet you're thankful he showed up!"
"I'm glad you're alright, Videl. I would have been really lonesome if anything had happened to you." This last comment was made by Gohan, and it was the only one all day that had made Videl feel special. The rest were just questions of curiosity, and didn't mean anything to her. She smiled shyly.
"Thanks, Gohan. At least you care that I'm okay. Everybody else just seems excited about it." She said, her eyes downcast. They were in the cafeteria and the whole school was talking about Videl's most recent "brush with death"-as it had come to be called.
At that moment another curiosity seeker, she thought his name was Kyle, sat down across from her. He had short brown hair and brown eyes.
"So Videl," he said with a conceited smile on his face. "If you don't feel too exhausted, what do you say we do something together this weekend? Maybe go see a movie. We'll just stay away from all the banks, okay? I wouldn't want your dad to get a hold of me if anything happened to you!" He laughed as if he had just cracked the funniest joke in the world.
Before Videl could respond to the loser's request, Gohan jumped in.
"Think again, pal. She already has plans this weekend. Get lost." His tone was low and icy. The guy gave Gohan a surprised glance.
"Uh, excuse me. I was talking to Videl, not you." He turned back to Videl and rolled his eyes. "So, what time do you want me to pick you up? Seven?"
He was interrupted when Gohan jerked upright and reached across the table. Kyle's eyes went wide as Gohan's fist closed around his collar and jerked him up.
"I said 'Get. Lost.'" Gohan's eyes narrowed into slits. Kyle was dangling at least half a foot off the ground. Videl's own eyes were wide with shock. Gohan dropped Kyle and he hit the floor with a thud.
"Come on, Videl. Let's get away from all these jerks." Videl gathered up her lunch while Gohan did the same. All eyes were on them as they walked out the doors and onto the grass on the front lawn.
"Um, Gohan." Videl said hesitantly, not knowing how to thank him for what he had done. He kept his eyes on his feet as he unpacked his lunch again. He sighed.
"I'm sorry, Videl. I guess that was kind of.stupid of me." He blushed slightly. "Guess I got carried away." He glanced over at her and was surprised to see that she was smiling at him. She shook her head.
"No, Gohan. It wasn't stupid, it was very sweet. Thank you." She leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. His entire face felt like it was burning with an intense fire, and his heart was beating faster than it did even in the middle of the fiercest battle. That one little kiss made so many emotions dance through his heart that he couldn't even begin to identify them.
Videl felt her own face turn red. Why did I just do that? She asked herself. You know why: because you wanted to.
Gohan was chewing on his lip. Did she do what I think she just did? Am I dreaming? Why do I feel so weird? Is it because. he felt his mouth go dry at the realization of recognizing one of the emotions. I love her. He swallowed loudly. Videl glanced up at him and giggled.
"What's so funny?" Gohan asked, confused. Videl just laughed harder.
"Do you always swallow that loud?" She asked between laughs. Gohan looked down at the grass and tried to concentrate on a small beetle crawling between the blades of grass.
"Only when I'm nervous." He admitted. She stopped laughing and stared at him intently.
"Why are you nervous?" He smiled slightly and looked up at her.
"Well, I told Kyle that you already had plans this weekend, and." He blushed furiously. "I was going to ask you if you wanted to do something with me this weekend."
".uh.sure, well, um., yeah, I.guess, if., I mean, .as long as."
Her words were cut off as she felt something lightly brush against her lips. Her eyes popped open and she looked to see what it was. All she saw was Gohan staring at her with a slightly embarrassed, yet slightly suggestive smile on his face. She brought her fingertips up to her lips.
"Was that.you?" He nodded as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks. She put her hand behind his neck. It was his turn to be surprised.
"Do that again." She whispered as she leaned towards him with her eyes shut. He shut his own eyes and bent down to meet her. As their lips met, they both felt shivers run down their spines. Gohan kissed her harder and she responded by doing the same.
It was a long time before Videl broke away to get some air. Gohan looked down at his hands, waiting for her to say something first. When she didn't, he looked up. She was smirking at him.
"What???"
"I didn't know you could kiss like that." He blushed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She stopped smirking. He sounded almost hurt.
"I didn't know you were so strong either." He just stared at her.
"Strong?"
"Yeah, you lifted Kyle off the floor by his collar-with one hand!" She grinned. "I guess there's a lot of things I don't know about you, huh." He smiled.
"That's for sure." She cocked her head. Now what did he mean by that? She wondered.
"So, what do you wanna do this weekend?" Gohan asked.
"Definitely not go see a movie. That's what everybody does." She wrinkled her nose in disgust. He laughed. Then, a brilliant idea came to Videl's mind.
"How about I come over to your house?" Gohan felt a sweat drop run down his neck.
"My.house?"
"Yeah. Introduce me to your family, show me around. That way I can find out about Mystery Man." She said playfully. He grinned.
"Okay, but you asked for it."
"Hey, I can take care of myself."
"I know. But don't say I didn't warn you." She slapped him playfully.
"I'll be over there at ten on Saturday morning, okay?"
"Sounds great."
"And, Gohan?"
"What?"
"Can you see the stars at your house?"
"Gohan, someone's on the phone for you!"
"Coming Mom!" Gohan came out of his room. Chi Chi was standing there with her hand over the receiver.
"It's a girl. She said her name was Videl, or something like that. Is she the one that's coming over tomorrow?" Gohan nodded and made a grab for the phone. Chi Chi brought it back up to her ear.
"Here he is dear! I'll see you tomorrow morning, Videl!" She said cheerfully as she handed the phone to Gohan. He glared at her and took the phone.
"Hey, Videl. Sorry about that." He walked into his room and shut the door. Videl was trying not to laugh.
"Gohan, I hate to ask you this, but.."
"But."
"Well, you see, my dad's going out of town this weekend for some convention for something, you know, publicity, and he doesn't want to leave me at home, even though the servants will be there, and he's really overprotective, so he told me to find someone to stay with, and I would ask Erasa, but she' not here, and I was thinking, since I would already be at your house, and I trust you, and."
"Yes."
"I know he won't want me to stay at a boy's house, because like I said he's really overprotective, and he would get a bunch of ideas that weren't true, but I know you and your family are good people, and."
"Yes."
"All I have to tell him is that I'm going to a friend's house, he won't bother to ask whose, because he doesn't really care, as long I'm somewhere, and I was hoping it wouldn't be too much of a burden, but."
"Videl, did you hear me?" He was interrupted by another voice.
"Well of course it won't be a burden, Videl. We'd love to have you come stay with us."
"MOM???? What are you doing?????" Gohan yelled.
"I was just telling Videl that it would be fine if she spent the night on Saturday."
"Mom, please hang up." Gohan said flatly.
"Okay, sweetie. Bye-bye Videl!" Gohan scowled at his bedroom wall.
"Videl, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, Gohan." " Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye!" Gohan swallowed. "Hey, Videl?" All he heard was the dial tone. "I love you." He whispered quietly.
Well, what do you think? This was the first G/V that I ever wrote, so there's no real plot or anything. It's sweet and at times a bit humorous. That's about it. #_# Please review! It takes all of 5 seconds.

Gohan's head had jerked up as soon as he heard the thump. He looked over to see Videl sitting on the floor. The girl who sat above and behind her, he thought her name was Christy, was laughing.
"Um, Videl? Why are you sitting on the floor? Are you hurt?" Gohan asked while trying to figure out what was going on. The professor had noticed the disturbance.
"Excuse me. Do we have a problem up there?" Videl was back in her seat faster than lightning. Gohan blinked.
"No sir, professor. I just fell out of my chair, that's all." He made a face, but went back to his lesson. Gohan leaned over towards Videl.
"Videl are you alright?" She nodded and kept her eyes on the front of the classroom. Gohan leaned back into his chair and shook his head.
Videl's alarm on her watch went off. She pressed a button and spoke into it.
"What is it captain?" The captain's voice was accompanied by static, but it wasn't loud enough to interfere with the conversation.
"Videl, we have a bank robbery on South Avenue. There's at least a dozen of them. We can't handle them all by ourselves!" A gunshot could be heard in the background.
"I'll be right there." Videl ran down the steps. "Sorry, professor." She yelled as she ran by the Chemistry teacher.
"No problem Videl." He said, going right back to his demonstration about what happens when you mix copper sulfate and hydronium.
Gohan felt a sweatdrop run down his back. There's no way Videl can handle that many! She'll get herself killed. That thought made Gohan break into a cold sweat. He stood up and ran down the steps, in much the same manner that Videl had. He paused briefly in front of the professor.
"Bathroom." Without waiting for him to answer, he ran out the door. The teacher just shook his head.
"As I was saying class."
Gohan rushed up onto the roof and pressed the button on his watch. Several beams of light radiated from his body as he transformed into the Great Saiyaman. He flew off the roof with speed greater than that of an airplane. He was pushed along faster by the thought of Videl being hurt.
In almost no time he was above the bank. There were police cars parked outside, and there were shots coming at them from inside the bank. Gohan looked among the people huddled behind the cars.
He didn't see Videl. There was a horrible twisting feeling in his stomach. Then he saw a flash of movement by the back door.
"Videl." He whispered, his voice hoarse. He flew down and landed in front of the building. Bullets whizzed at him, but he caught them easily in his hands. He ran inside and saw the man who had been shooting. His face was covered by a navy ski mask and his gun was pointed straight at Gohan's head.
"Goodbye, Mr. Saiyaman." He said with an evil voice. Gohan formed a small energy blast and fired it at the man. It didn't kill him, it only knocked him out. He fell over limply.
Gohan looked around for the door that led to the back and saw it behind the counter. He leapt over it easily and broke the door down with his foot. His eyes went wide at the sight he saw.
Most of the men were busy collecting their treasure, but two of them were occupied by another task. Videl was slumped up against the wall, her eyes barely open. Her left arm was bleeding from a bullet wound, and there was a deep cut running down her right calf.
Gohan felt the anger well up inside him. At that moment he had no emotion in him except pure and utter hatred for the men who were hurting Videl. And for Gohan, hatred was a much guarded and seldom felt emotion.
He launched himself at the closest villain, not thinking about whether or not he might accidentally kill him. He punched the first one in the gut, and the thief coughed up blood before he fell over. Gohan didn't even wait to see the outcome of his attack, he was already kicking the next one down onto the floor. As he hit the ground, Gohan heard something crack. To his great surprise and astonishment, he didn't care what it had been.
He turned to see the rest of the gang coming at him. He caught all their bullets and took them all down swiftly. Never pausing in his continuous battle to protect Videl. Before the last one even hit the ground, he was at her side and wiping the sweat off her brow with his cape. She was breathing in gasps.
"Saiya.man." She whispered right before she passed out cold.
"She'll be alright. Don't worry."
"You're sure there's nothing wrong?"
"That's what I said, son. Those wounds should be healed in no time." Videl heard the voices as if they were very far away. She opened her eyes slowly. She was surrounded by white. Everything in the room was white. She turned her head and almost blinked at the bright object she saw there.
Wait, she thought. That's Saiyaman! Now I remember. I guess he brought me here. Neither the doctor or Saiyaman had noticed she was awake. She slowly swung her legs over the edge of the hospital bed so as not to get dizzy, and coughed lightly to get their attention. They both turned around so quickly she was afraid they would get whiplash. Ironically, the doctor rubbed his neck slightly as if he had.
"Videl!" Saiyaman cried in shock, not showing any sign that his neck hurt. Videl narrowed her eyes. He doesn't usually sound that like. His voice is deeper. But when he talks that he sounds like. She felt faint as it hit her. He sounds like Gohan.
"Are you alright, Miss Videl?" Saiyaman asked. Videl noticed that he was standing beside her. "You looked like you might faint." She shook her head.
"No, I'm fine." He sounds like Saiyaman now. That's weird. Maybe I was imagining it. She noticed the bandages on her arms and legs. She smiled slightly and looked up at Saiyaman, even though she couldn't see his eyes.
"Thanks, Saiyaman." He grinned and saluted her.
"No problem, Miss Videl." She smiled back. He's such a nutcase. "Well, I must be going, Miss Videl. I have to get back to." Gohan stopped himself just in time. "my duties. See ya later!"
He flew out the window, which was conveniently open. It was a good thing, too. Gohan was so flustered that if it had been shut, he would have slammed right into it. As he flew over the city, he let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding.
I'm so stupid! I can't believe I almost said I had to go back to school! That would have totally blown my cover! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
"Oh my gosh, Videl! I heard what happened!"
"Hey Videl, I heard you got shot in seven places! Is that true?"
"Thank goodness for Saiyaman! Bet you're thankful he showed up!"
"I'm glad you're alright, Videl. I would have been really lonesome if anything had happened to you." This last comment was made by Gohan, and it was the only one all day that had made Videl feel special. The rest were just questions of curiosity, and didn't mean anything to her. She smiled shyly.
"Thanks, Gohan. At least you care that I'm okay. Everybody else just seems excited about it." She said, her eyes downcast. They were in the cafeteria and the whole school was talking about Videl's most recent "brush with death"-as it had come to be called.
At that moment another curiosity seeker, she thought his name was Kyle, sat down across from her. He had short brown hair and brown eyes.
"So Videl," he said with a conceited smile on his face. "If you don't feel too exhausted, what do you say we do something together this weekend? Maybe go see a movie. We'll just stay away from all the banks, okay? I wouldn't want your dad to get a hold of me if anything happened to you!" He laughed as if he had just cracked the funniest joke in the world.
Before Videl could respond to the loser's request, Gohan jumped in.
"Think again, pal. She already has plans this weekend. Get lost." His tone was low and icy. The guy gave Gohan a surprised glance.
"Uh, excuse me. I was talking to Videl, not you." He turned back to Videl and rolled his eyes. "So, what time do you want me to pick you up? Seven?"
He was interrupted when Gohan jerked upright and reached across the table. Kyle's eyes went wide as Gohan's fist closed around his collar and jerked him up.
"I said 'Get. Lost.'" Gohan's eyes narrowed into slits. Kyle was dangling at least half a foot off the ground. Videl's own eyes were wide with shock. Gohan dropped Kyle and he hit the floor with a thud.
"Come on, Videl. Let's get away from all these jerks." Videl gathered up her lunch while Gohan did the same. All eyes were on them as they walked out the doors and onto the grass on the front lawn.
"Um, Gohan." Videl said hesitantly, not knowing how to thank him for what he had done. He kept his eyes on his feet as he unpacked his lunch again. He sighed.
"I'm sorry, Videl. I guess that was kind of.stupid of me." He blushed slightly. "Guess I got carried away." He glanced over at her and was surprised to see that she was smiling at him. She shook her head.
"No, Gohan. It wasn't stupid, it was very sweet. Thank you." She leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. His entire face felt like it was burning with an intense fire, and his heart was beating faster than it did even in the middle of the fiercest battle. That one little kiss made so many emotions dance through his heart that he couldn't even begin to identify them.
Videl felt her own face turn red. Why did I just do that? She asked herself. You know why: because you wanted to.
Gohan was chewing on his lip. Did she do what I think she just did? Am I dreaming? Why do I feel so weird? Is it because. he felt his mouth go dry at the realization of recognizing one of the emotions. I love her. He swallowed loudly. Videl glanced up at him and giggled.
"What's so funny?" Gohan asked, confused. Videl just laughed harder.
"Do you always swallow that loud?" She asked between laughs. Gohan looked down at the grass and tried to concentrate on a small beetle crawling between the blades of grass.
"Only when I'm nervous." He admitted. She stopped laughing and stared at him intently.
"Why are you nervous?" He smiled slightly and looked up at her.
"Well, I told Kyle that you already had plans this weekend, and." He blushed furiously. "I was going to ask you if you wanted to do something with me this weekend."
".uh.sure, well, um., yeah, I.guess, if., I mean, .as long as."
Her words were cut off as she felt something lightly brush against her lips. Her eyes popped open and she looked to see what it was. All she saw was Gohan staring at her with a slightly embarrassed, yet slightly suggestive smile on his face. She brought her fingertips up to her lips.
"Was that.you?" He nodded as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks. She put her hand behind his neck. It was his turn to be surprised.
"Do that again." She whispered as she leaned towards him with her eyes shut. He shut his own eyes and bent down to meet her. As their lips met, they both felt shivers run down their spines. Gohan kissed her harder and she responded by doing the same.
It was a long time before Videl broke away to get some air. Gohan looked down at his hands, waiting for her to say something first. When she didn't, he looked up. She was smirking at him.
"What???"
"I didn't know you could kiss like that." He blushed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She stopped smirking. He sounded almost hurt.
"I didn't know you were so strong either." He just stared at her.
"Strong?"
"Yeah, you lifted Kyle off the floor by his collar-with one hand!" She grinned. "I guess there's a lot of things I don't know about you, huh." He smiled.
"That's for sure." She cocked her head. Now what did he mean by that? She wondered.
"So, what do you wanna do this weekend?" Gohan asked.
"Definitely not go see a movie. That's what everybody does." She wrinkled her nose in disgust. He laughed. Then, a brilliant idea came to Videl's mind.
"How about I come over to your house?" Gohan felt a sweat drop run down his neck.
"My.house?"
"Yeah. Introduce me to your family, show me around. That way I can find out about Mystery Man." She said playfully. He grinned.
"Okay, but you asked for it."
"Hey, I can take care of myself."
"I know. But don't say I didn't warn you." She slapped him playfully.
"I'll be over there at ten on Saturday morning, okay?"
"Sounds great."
"And, Gohan?"
"What?"
"Can you see the stars at your house?"
"Gohan, someone's on the phone for you!"
"Coming Mom!" Gohan came out of his room. Chi Chi was standing there with her hand over the receiver.
"It's a girl. She said her name was Videl, or something like that. Is she the one that's coming over tomorrow?" Gohan nodded and made a grab for the phone. Chi Chi brought it back up to her ear.
"Here he is dear! I'll see you tomorrow morning, Videl!" She said cheerfully as she handed the phone to Gohan. He glared at her and took the phone.
"Hey, Videl. Sorry about that." He walked into his room and shut the door. Videl was trying not to laugh.
"Gohan, I hate to ask you this, but.."
"But."
"Well, you see, my dad's going out of town this weekend for some convention for something, you know, publicity, and he doesn't want to leave me at home, even though the servants will be there, and he's really overprotective, so he told me to find someone to stay with, and I would ask Erasa, but she' not here, and I was thinking, since I would already be at your house, and I trust you, and."
"Yes."
"I know he won't want me to stay at a boy's house, because like I said he's really overprotective, and he would get a bunch of ideas that weren't true, but I know you and your family are good people, and."
"Yes."
"All I have to tell him is that I'm going to a friend's house, he won't bother to ask whose, because he doesn't really care, as long I'm somewhere, and I was hoping it wouldn't be too much of a burden, but."
"Videl, did you hear me?" He was interrupted by another voice.
"Well of course it won't be a burden, Videl. We'd love to have you come stay with us."
"MOM???? What are you doing?????" Gohan yelled.
"I was just telling Videl that it would be fine if she spent the night on Saturday."
"Mom, please hang up." Gohan said flatly.
"Okay, sweetie. Bye-bye Videl!" Gohan scowled at his bedroom wall.
"Videl, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, Gohan." " Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow, then"
"Okay, bye!"
"Bye!" Gohan swallowed. "Hey, Videl?" All he heard was the dial tone. "I love you." He whispered quietly.
Well, what do you think? This was the first G/V that I ever wrote, so there's no real plot or anything. It's sweet and at times a bit humorous. That's about it. #_# Please review! It takes all of 5 seconds.
