AN: Finally dragged myself back to this. Just re-uploading the earlier chapters to fix the format errors and tweak a few things. If you see any errors, just let me know.

"Gohan! Hey, Gohan!"

Gohan stopped and turned. His face lit up as he saw Videl running towards him. "Hey, guys, I'll catch up, OK?"

Goku stopped and smiled at him. "Sure Gohan. Just make sure you don't miss the qualifying round. It'd be a shame for you to train so hard and miss getting in."

Gohan blushed a little. "Don't worry, Dad. I wouldn't miss this for anything." He waved to the rest of the group as they turned a corner towards the qualifiers.

Gohan grinned as Videl caught up with him. "What's up?"

She winked. "I've got something to show you. Come on!" Videl grabbed one of his arms and hauled him into the air.

"Whoa, Videl! A little warning, please!" Gohan laughed. He caught hold of himself and floated next to her. "So what do you want to show me?"

She put one finger against her lips and winked again. "Follow me!" she whispered, and zipped off.

"Hey, hold up!" Gohan tore off after her, hard pressed to follow her abrupt twists and tight curves... He shook his head and laughed. What am I thinking? I'm gonna turn into Master Roshi if I'm not careful. He pulled even with Videl so he wouldn't be tempted to watch the show she was unwittingly putting on for him. Must be the Saiyan in me. The more I see her fight and train, the more I like her.

They landed on the far side of the grounds and just started wandering. For the next hour, they dodged fans of the Great Saiyaman, Sharpner, fans of Videl, Sharpner, fans of Hercule who tried to get in good with his daughter, and Sharpner.

They smothered their laughter as Sharpner ran past the bush they were crouched behind. Videl looked over at Gohan with an evil grin. "Maybe we should just tell him the truth."

"What?!?" Gohan cried. Quickly, he clamped a hand over his mouth before they were discovered.

"Yeah. You're from some other planet -" Gohan paled "- and you get this funky high on yellow sun," she sang. He stared at her for a terrified moment. Then his brain kicked in and he realized she was just teasing him. He let out the breath he didn't know he'd been holding.

"Don't do that to me, Videl," he said. "You almost gave me a heart attack." He placed a hand over his chest for emphasis. If only she knew... . She'd flip!

"Aw, did I scare you?" She placed her hand over his and grinned up at him. Gohan felt his face growing hot. "Ummmm …"

Videl laughed and grabbed his wrist. "Come on. I've been teasing you enough." Tugging lightly, she led him through a nearby door. "In here."

Gohan's jaw dropped as he looked around the small suite. "Is this all ... yours?" He turned in a slow circle, taking in the fine decorations, the overstuffed couch, the private kitchen. It was palatial compared to the locker rooms for the other competitors.

"Being Hercule's daughter does have a few perks, you know."

He turned back around and his brain went numb. Videl dropped her shirt on the floor. "Uhhhhhh …' He swallowed hard. "What are you..." Smiling, she reached behind her to unhook her bra.

"What does it look like, Gohan?"

"Videl!" She smiled again, but Gohan couldn't say anything else. The bra joined the shirt.

He tried to move, to speak, but it was if she'd found the OFF switch to his brain and taped it down. "Videl..." He tried to tear his eyes away, but he couldn't even blink.

"Yes?" She slithered out of the rest of her clothes. His mouth went dry as she stood naked before him. He knew he should say something, but he couldn't focus on the words long enough. His common sense was screaming for him to get the hell out of there before they did something they shouldn't. His body, however, was determined to stay right where it was.

Videl slowly glided over to him. "Videl ..." he tried again, pleading, but now he didn't know what he was pleading for. The she kissed him, and he stopped thinking, period.
