It was a warm summers night, the moon was full and the stars were bright.
And Gohan laid on the cool dark green grass glaring at the sky, lost in his thoughts.
Videl laid next to him, she noticed the look of concentration on his face.
"Hey, You ok?" she asked him, he didn't answer her, in fact he didn't even hear her, his mind my have been on her but his ears had decided to stop working.
"Hello" Videl said a little louder, and she poked his arm.
Gohan was brought out of his thoughts, and turned to face the girl of his dreams.
"Huh?" he asked, looking oblivious to everything around him.
"Are you ok?" Videl asked him once again.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine" he replied in a soft voice smiling at her.
"Good" Videl said returning the smile.
The two of them laid in the grass in silence.
It had been 3 weeks since the Buu incident, and Gohan had been spending very minuet of those weeks thinking of ways to ask Videl out, he loved her, but she didn't know, she didn't know how much she meant to him, how much he needed her.
Why couldn't he tell her, why did he have to get cold feet every time he came close to telling her how he felt.
"Party tomorrow" Gohan said breaking the silence between them.
"Yeah, should be good" Videl replied.
"Yeah" Gohan agreed.
And then the silence came over them again.
Gohan's eyes made their way back up to the sky, but Videl's eyes stayed locked on Gohan.
She loved him greatly, but she didn't know if she could tell him, she's not afraid of anything, she's done stuff that most people couldn't even dream of, but one simple thing, saying three simple words to one man, she couldn't do it, why not.
It was driving her crazy, he was driving her crazy, she wanted him.
She wanted him so bad that it hurt, it hurt her so much that she saw him almost everyday, spoke to him everyday, so why is she so afraid of him, she was scared that if she told him how she felt he would reject her.
She looked at her watch.
"Crap, I got to go y dad will go nuts if he finds out I've been here all night" she said getting up.
"Oh, ok" Gohan said sadly, he stood up so that he could look at her in the face.
"Sorry" she said
"don't worry about it, I'll see you tomorrow anyway" Gohan said smiling down at her.
"yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, bye" she said as she flew off into the night sky.
Gohan just stood there watching her fly away. As soon as she was out of sight, he felt his heart sink.
He then decided to fly home.
He got home and was greeted by his mother.
"Where have you been?" she asked him.
"Out, I'm off to bed" and with that Gohan walked to his room.
He laid on his bed, he needed to sleep but he couldn't, he hadn't in days, he's had too much on his mind.
When Videl got home, she managed to get to her room without being hassled by her farther.
She sat on her bed feeling like shit. She couldn't believe that she spent the whole night with Gohan and nothing happened, they spent the whole sparing, and she didn't tell him how she feels.
She was so pissed off with herself, that she'd made a final decision, she grabbed her phone.
She wrote a text to Gohan saying: 'When you see me at the arty tomorrow remind me to tell you something'
She read the message again and pressed send.
All she could do was hope that tomorrow he reminded her, she'd decided that at the party she was going to tell him, she'd get him alone and tell him how she felt.
Gohan read the text that Videl had just sent him.
'Great, I can finally tell her how I feel, just before she tells me I can get her alone and tell her, and I wont go back on my word, I will tell her tomorrow, no matter what'
Those last few words went through his mind over and over again until he fell fast asleep.
No matter what, he will tell her, no matter what.
