AN: SO, I thought I'd attempt to continue this. Wish me luck! Chapters will most likely be short, and I can't promise that my health or college work will allow me to write this for very long, but I will try.

{-}

Gohan sat by his laptop, leaning back on his chair, with a nervous smile and a small look of slight disbelief upon his face.

'I can't believe mum gave me permission,' he thought, as he drummed his fingers lightly on his knee. 'Well, I didn't EXACTLY tell her all the details, but...' He recalled how he'd brought the subject up at dinner, and how embarrassingly quickly he'd rambled on about it.

"Mother? There's this thing, right. On the internet. Where people can chat together, you know? A, uh, friend wanted me to join them on it, and I thought it would be good to, um, talk about homework and arrange meetings and keep each other up to date and-" he'd rambled, obviously nervous.

"That sounds like a great idea, Gohan," ChiChi had interrupted, smiling at him.

His look of shock held on his face, as his mouth hung wide open.

"Don't sit with your mouth open, Gohan, and finish your dinner," she'd reprimanded, frowning at him. "Just keep up with your homework, you hear?"

That had been a couple of hours ago, and he still wasn't over the shock he'd felt at the time. 'It was probably the fact that I mentioned homework, to be honest. I thought that would sway her, but I didn't expect her to agree so easily!' Especially when he'd purposefully flown home slowly that day to avoid the conversation for as long as possible. Gohan felt a little put out that he had been so nervous, only for it to have gone so easily. He'd dreaded dinner (FOOD!) for no reason!

But now he had permission from his mother to talk to his friends online. So why wasn't he doing just that, right now?

Gohan shook his head, and leaned forward, to look up the website.

"She said 'Messaging Fun, right?" he muttered, as he typed that into the search bar.

"Let's see... Ah, here me go. Ok, let's sign up, and... username? Aw man, I didn't even try to think of one!" He drummed his fingers on his knee again. "I need to be recognisable as Saiyaman, so... 'Saiyaman' then?" He typed that in, and frowned at the message that appeared on the screen.

"What do you mean, that name isn't available?!" He didn't recall ever signing up to this site before... Who had taken his name?! Even 'GreatSaiyaman' and 'TheGreatSaiyaman' had been taken.

Well, this meant he had to come up with a new one. But still recognisable to Videl.

"Hm... I wonder..." He paused, and then grinned, as a new idea came to him. "Ah, this might work!"

{-}

Videl was in her room, sitting by her own laptop, impatiently waiting for a message from Saiyaman.

She'd spent all day trying to decide what to say to him. What do you say to a man you hardly know and might have a crush on? Hi? Hello? Howdy?! That all seemed so plain and boring. She should say something funny, but would that come across as too weird? She didn't want to give him a bad first online-impression.

She'd spent several hours since coming home by her computer, with full intention of doing homework, or watching more video's, but he just wouldn't leave her mind! And, apparently, he just wouldn't come online either. How many hours had she spent just waiting already?

"Ugh, I can't just sit here and wait for him all night! I should do something, instead of just... sitting here. Waiting. I mean, for all I know, he's changed his mind and doesn't want to chat with me!" Videl bit her fingernails, frowning. She didn't want that to be true, as he'd always been so dependable, but... She didn't know him that well. "He could be an impulsive liar, for all I know!" She crossed her arms for a moment, huffing, and then decided she should get back to doing homework.

Just as she was about to change tabs, however, she got a friend request from the very man she'd been thinking of all day. Thinking of for weeks, really.

All worries about what to say had flown away as soon as she saw the name he'd picked for himself. She laughed, accepted the new request, and began typing.

JusticeFan13: SUPER Saiyaman, huh? Look who's full of himself!

Videl hoped that would be good enough, as she grinned at the screen.

SuperSaiyaman: I would have gone for just 'Saiyaman' as my screen name, but that seems to have already been taken. Other forms of it had been, as well.

JusticeFan13: Yes, you'd be surprised at how many people have used VidelSatan in some form as their username's!

SuperSaiyaman: I am surprised that people so easily try to steal another person's identity.

Videl nodded to herself, as she grabbed her bottle of juice and sipped on it, before typing again.

JusticeFan13: You get used to it, I guess. People as well known as us get many imposters on the internet. I've seen a great many 'Saiyamans' since you've arrived on the scene, so welcome to the club.

SuperSaiyaman: Thank you, Miss Videl. I'll take my membership seriously.

Videl grinned. This was fun! But... What did they talk about now? She'd spent quite some time earlier, wondering what was appropriate to talk about. Their relationship wasn't a 'usual' one, so any common rules for conversations may not apply here.

Also, any usual questions, or methods of getting to know each other, might be too personal for him. He obviously cared for his privacy, but she did want to know as much about him as she could get away with. Just what would be a good way to continue this conversation?

{-}

Gohan let out a deep breath, as he sat back against his chair. He had been so nervous about messaging her, but it all seemed to be going alright so far. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad.

JusticeFan13: So... Is there anything you can tell me about yourself?

Or maybe it would be.

"Um..." What could he say? He couldn't just avoid ALL her questions, now that he'd accepted her request to start chatting. What else could they chat about?

But he couldn't just tell her the same things that Gohan has told her. Or will tell her. She'd connect them both in an instant! She was far too smart for his own good.

Gohan didn't want to have to lie to her in one of his identities. After all, that would be, well, LYING. And it would get SO confusing, trying to juggle so many things... Perhaps he could try to say things differently, so things sound different, but weren't? He had gotten used to twisting his words on occasion, especially with his mother, so he could do it here... Right?

JusticeFan13: …? Hello? Saiyaman?

Now he just had to recall everything he'd said as Gohan, and twist it.

It wasn't going to be very easy.
