10 years later…
"Come on Gohan! We're going to be late!" A little girl with blue eyes said.
"I'm coming Videl." The little boy named Gohan ran out of the building. He had black hair, dark eyes, his skin was pale and he had a smile on his face.
"Come on fly us to school." Vidal said.
"Alright just wait." Gohan checked to see if anyone was around to see him, when he was sure that no one was around Gohan held on to Videl and flew them to school as fast as he could.
Videl was giggling. "Gohan this is so much fun!"
Gohan rolled his eyes. "Sure it is."
"What's your problem?" Videl asked while pouting. "I wish I could do half of the things you can do. You can fly; run as fast as the speed of light, you can probably strong enough to hold a building on your pinky finger…"
Videl continued but Gohan only paid half of his attention to her ranting. Back when he was younger, Gohan used to wonder why he could do the things other people on the planet Earth couldn't do, but now he hardly gave it a second thought. 'Maybe I inherited the same weirdness that seems to surrounds the family I was born into.' Gohan mused.
"Gohan we're close to the school." Videl said. Gohan, pulled out of his thoughts, landed on the roof of Orange Middle School and both he and Videl ran down the stairs into their classes.
"All right everyone," The teacher said. "Today we're going to be doing a little project about…"
Gohan stopped listening to the teacher. He was always good in school and he usually never listened to the teacher. Gohan was thinking about is father. The man he never really knew, the man that was laying in the hospital in a coma. 'I'm glad he's not a vegetable. The doctor said that he'll be able to wake up when he was ready to. I wish that he wakes up on my birthday though.'
"Gohan," The bell was ringing and Videl's hand was on Gohan's shoulder. "Get up. It's time to go to our next class." They both went to their next class and Gohan spent the whole day thinking about his father until the final bell rang. Signaling the end of the school day.
"You were thinking about your dad weren't you?" Videl asked.
"Yeah I was." Gohan and Videl were walking out of the school building.
"Are you going to the hospital to visit him?" Videl asked.
"I just might do that." Gohan said.
"I want to meet him." Videl said.
"Okay, but he won't be much company. He's been asleep for almost ten years." They both decided that they were going to go to the hospital and they stood in front of the of the receptionist's desk.
"Hi Marline." Gohan said.
"Hi Gohan. Here to visit your father I see. And who's this?" Marline asked.
"I'm Videl."
"And I'm Marline, as you just heard." Marline turned to Gohan, "Go on in. I'm only supposed to let in one visitor but I'll make an exception and let your friend in with you." After that, Gohan and Videl took the elevator to the third floor.
"So you seem to spend a lot of time here." Videl said.
"Yeah. I was born here," Gohan said. "Marline was one of the nurses that were there. My mother died and my father just fell asleep."
They both got out of the elevator and walked into the first room on the right side of the hallway. Inside the room, there was a man lying on a bed. He had a feeding tube taped inside his mouth. His hair was very spike and he was very muscular. 'So this is Gohan's father,' Videl thought. 'I can see the resemblance between them.'
"Hi dad, it's me again." Gohan said, "I brought a friend. Her name's Videl."
"What are you doing?" Videl asked.
"The doctor says that even though dad's unconscious, he can still hear what's going on around him. So I talk to him everyday." Gohan said, "Say something."
Videl didn't know what to say. "Hi Mr. Son. I'm Videl. You look good for a guy who's been in a bed for ten years."
"Dad, when are you going to wake up?" Gohan asked. "My birthday's tomorrow and I'm hoping you're awake by then. Oh guess what happened today."
"The teacher said Gohan is the valedictorian of our class." Videl answered, "That means he's the best in school and he's going to give a big speech at the graduation ceremony."
"Hey, I was going to tell him that." Gohan muttered.
Videl rolled her eyes. "Yeah right Gohan, you know as well as I do that you will not talk about yourself if no ones going to ask about you."
"Anyway, dad there are a lot of things going on in the world," Gohan said. "It's really sunny outside, the weather isn't so bad and it felt great flying around in the sky."
"I still don't understand is how Gohan can fly and do all that other stuff he can do though." Videl said, "Maybe you can explain it to me when you wake up."
Gohan and Videl kept talking about anything that came in their minds. At least that was until Marline came into the room.
"Okay kids, it's time to get out of here, visitations ended."
Gohan got up from the end of his father's bed and Videl got up from the chair next to the bed. Gohan took one last look at his father then both he and Videl left the room and flew back to the orphanage they were forced to call home.
"I swear Gohan you have to teach me how to fly." Videl said during the trip.
"Okay. I teach you how to fly." Gohan landed two blocks away from the orphanage, so no one saw them land, and then they walked the rest of the way. When Gohan and Videl made it in front of the Orange City Orphanage, there was a woman in front of the building, waiting for them. This woman was in her 50's, her brown hair was graying, this woman was angry for some reason.
"You brats are late." The woman said.
"We were visiting Gohan's father." Videl said. Later, Videl left cheek started the sting were the woman slapped her. Videl's eyes widened in surprise, she never saw it coming.
Gohan was burning with anger. 'Who does this bitch think she is? Is this woman stupid enough to think that she ca hit Videl and get away with it?'
Gohan grabbed the woman's hand and squeezed hard enough to make it hurt. "Don't you ever hit Videl again" Gohan whispered.
"Get your hands off of me!" The woman slapped Gohan, who fell on the ground and then walked back into the building. "Get inside you have work to do." The woman closed the door behind her.
Videl sat on the ground next to Gohan. "Are you alright?"
"I'm okay." Gohan got up, "You should know by now that most people on this planet can't hurt me." Gohan offered a hand to Videl, to help her up.
Videl took his hand. Then they both walked inside the orphanage.
