Videl watched as Gohan stood at the front of the class, reading his report about 'The Cell Games' and the effects they had on the earth and the economy. She felt completely mesmerized by him. His voice, the way his eyes twitched when he was frustrated and the way he always managed to do something completely stupid with meaning it.

"Thank You" Gohan answered bowing his head slightly and began to make his way back to his seat beside Videl. Videl smiled at him. He smiled back at her, he knew very well Videl hated assignments, which had to do with her father, and this was one of them. She hated having to boast about 'how well Hercule did in the fight' and everything it just didn't strike her as an important part of history that was all. But more importantly when you live with it then it gets to a point where you really don't give a damn.

Ring

Videl sighed a sigh of relief as the bell rang; they had spent the past two hours going through every single persons report about The Cell Games. Each report saying the exact same thing. Well except for Sharpener who was complaining about the fact that they're were no women fighting, he found to be sexist so he said, but everyone in the class knew the real reason. He liked seeing women getting hot and sweating especially when it came to martial arts.

Picking up her books Videl then dumped them into her bag; the end of a long day had finally come.

"Hey Videl!" Eraser shouted from the other side of the room excitedly as she ran over to the girl. "Wanna go shopping?"

Gohan's ears had pricked up and he looked at Videl, who nodded her answer.

"I'm sorry Eraser, I've got to do some stuff at home today" Videl answered smiling at her friend. "Perhaps another time?"

"Yeah, uh ok" Eraser answered slightly disappointed she then turned to Gohan. "How about you then?"

"I can't I've got some stuff to do as well" Gohan answered, he hated lying he really did. Why was he lying I hear you ask? Well he and Videl had begun to spend a bit more time together, he was always there to lend an ear to Videl and Gohan enjoyed her company. But things had gotten a little heated the last time they had 'studied' together. For Gohan found himself giving Videl a kiss.

"Oh alrighty then" Eraser answered pouting "You two always seem to be busy"

"Sorry Eraser, the life of the world saviors daughter is never dull" Videl said dryly, "We best be off"

"Yeah" Gohan answered, "See you guys tomorrow ok?" and with that Gohan and Videl walked out of the classroom and down the hall leaving Eraser and Sharpener to stare at them as they walked off.

"I think something more is going on" Sharpener answered folding his arms, "They've been spending an awfully lot of time together lately haven't they?"

"Their friends Sharpie that's what friends do! Spend time together!"

Meanwhile at the Satan Mansion Videl sat beside Gohan on the sofa. Handing him a cup of juice, he smiled at her and whispered a quiet 'thank you'.

"It's ok" Videl answered as he ran his hand along her arm, she moved herself closer to him as he placed the cup on the table and wrapped his arms around her. He loved having her in his arms, just knowing that she was his. He placed a kiss gently on her neck; she tilted her head to face him and gave a passionate kiss.

The touch of his lips on Videl's gave her a slight shiver, his touch running over her back, and down to her legs, sent a shiver down her spine. She ran her hands over his chest underneath his shirt. He was very masculine and he was holding her ever so carefully, almost as if he thought he could break her if he held her too tightly.

Videl ran her hand down from his chest to his legs and then back up to his face, where she carefully traced her hand along his cheek. He smiled at her. He quickly titled his head towards her and kissed her passionately.

"I love you so much" Gohan whispered to her, his voice breaking slightly as if he'd just ran a sprint across a 800m oval in 20 seconds. Videl then realized that she was arousing him. She looked at him. His eyes showing her such a love that she'd never really felt before, a love that was hard to explain. A love that had developed over a short amount of time.

Gohan ran his hands along her back and over her neck, sending yet another spine tingling sensation through her body. He began kissed her neck, slowly working from her neck and down her arms to her hands before taking her hand and kissing it softly, he looked at the beautiful woman in his arms and smiled again, but pulling her closer to him and kissing her with such a passion that the kiss lasted for a few minutes.

The warmth of her lips on his, the feeling of having such a fragile life force in his arms. Made him want her more, he loved her dearly. Videl pulled away slightly after the kiss only a bit short of breath, however she wiggled herself further into his grasp and kissed his neck softly, slowly working her way to his chest.

Videl reached for his shirt and pulled it off slowly, she knew what she was getting herself into. The problems that could happen from the situation at hand. Or more importantly the situations that could arise if her father came home and found his 'innocent' daughter on the living room sofa with a boy. Let alone the son of the previous world champion.

Gohan pulled his arms off the beautiful girl slowly and lifted her tank top of swiftly and looked down at her smiling. She was beautiful with or without her shirt on. He kissed her lips once more before moving down to her neck, and slowly working his way to her arms again.

Videl sighed slightly as her body was filled with such a new sensation that she'd never felt before, such a warm and wonderful sensation.

"Gohan!" she gasped "I need you"

Hercule was walking back and forth in the Orange Star City Hall. There had been some rumors which had arisen that infact the 'World Savior' had not infact defeated Cell, but that a relative of the previous 'World Champion' had actually defeated Cell when he was only ten years of age.

'What am I going to do?' Hercule thought to himself, 'The world will exile me if they find out the truth… and what about Videl she doesn't like it when I lie to her'

A man opened the door of which the room that Hercule was pacing in. "Their ready for you now Hercule!" the man answered bowing his head in respect, "I know you can set things straight sir"

"Uh yeah of course" Hercule answered striking a pose. "After all I am the world champion"

The man watched as Hercule smiled sheepishly as he walked out the door and onto the podium, which was set up in front of a few thousand cameras and news reporters.

"Yes Hello, I am ready to answer all your questions" Hercule answered nervously, "Yes you of Capsule News Inc"

"Hercule, Vanessa Day here, is it true that you didn't defeat Cell, that it was actually a ten year old boy with super powers? Who was also rumored to be the son of a previous world champion" Vanessa answered flicking her blonde hair over her shoulder as she held her microphone closer to the man himself, well as close as she could anyway.

"I defeated cell, I defeated him with my own two hands" Hercule answered nervously but confidently at the same time. Trying to hide his nervousness was beginning to prove to be a battle.

"Hercule…David from Star News" The reporter answered signaling the camera to zoom on Hercule's face. "What's your comment on the fact that footage has been found on a tape of the cell games that was thought to have been destroyed?"

Hercule gulped and looked at the audience, all eyes on him. "This interview is over" and with that he walked off the stage and back into the room he'd been in prior to the interview.

Seems like just yesterday you were apart of me

I used to stand so tall I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight, everything felt so right

Unbreakable like nothing can go wrong

Gohan gently placed a kiss on Videl's forehead and pulled the blanket up to cover the beauty in his arms. Videl smiled up at him as she traced his face with her hand.

"I love you my love" Videl whispered as he pulled her closer. The television had been playing softly in the background but caught Videl's attention were the questions that were getting asked about the cell games. Gohan's grip on the girl tightened as they talked about the possibility of a ten-year-old boy defeating Cell. His eyes twitched.

The girl he was smitten by's father had taken credit for what he'd trained so hard for and for all those years their family was living on donations from capsule corporation unable to support themselves since his father died.

Videl looked at the man laying beside her his arms around her as the reporters asked their questions. She stared at Gohan in shock. He just looked at her puzzled as she sat herself up and slipped her shirt and shorts on.

"Shorty?" Gohan asked curiously "What's wrong?"

She turned to face him as she slipped her necklace back around her neck. "My father never did fight Cell did he?"

"What?" Gohan answered surprised "How would I? I mean…err? How would I know?" he laughed nervously.

She stood up and glared at him. "You knew!" she had fury in her voice. "You knew didn't you!"

Watching her as she threw her hands in the air, he realized he couldn't lie to her at all. He hung his head in shame. "I did yes"

"Why?" she whispered to him as he stood up and tried to pull her close, "why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't…" Gohan paused; he wanted to word it carefully. "I didn't think it was an important thing, why bring you down…"

"Not important!" Videl asked slightly raising her voice. "My life is built on a lie! I have friends because my father lied! Because of this lie my mother is never coming back! Not at all!" at this point she had tears down the sides of cheeks. "And you lied to me! You knew and you never told me!"

"Videl…I'm sorry" Gohan answered apologetically as he reached out and tried to hold her close, but she kept pulling herself away.

"Your sorry?" Videl answered with sarcasm, "You lied to me and your sorry"

"I am very much so" Gohan answered "You don't realize how hard it was to not tell you, I wanted too but,"

"Get out!" Videl answered pointing to the front door, "Please just leave!"

"But" Gohan answered, "Please let me explain"

"Leave I'm not in the mood"

"Videl!" Gohan answered "Don't you close me out like this my love"

She just kept her arm arched for the door and Gohan realized she needed time to herself, and he would give her that at least, but this was not the last she'd hear from him.

"Alright," he whispered "I'll go, but you know where to reach me if you need to talk," he walked to the door as Videl opened it, he walked out turned to look at her but she'd already slammed the door shut.

I told you everything, opened up and let you in

You made me feel all right for once in my life

Now all that's left to me, is what I pretend to be

Sewn but so broken up inside

Hercule walked into the Satan Mansion a few hours after the interview. All the lights were on in the house and he was hoping to see his daughter. But he couldn't find her. He walked into the kitchen and found Videl sitting on the bench glaring at him.

"So?" Videl asked glaring at him.

"So…?" Hercule asked placing a pile of mail in front of his daughter.

"Come on Dad" Videl answered walking around to the table where he'd finally managed to sit down. "Tell me…. who really defeated cell?"

"What!"

"DAD!" Videl said through her teeth, "Just tell me now…tell me the truth"

Hercule hung his head in shame. "It wasn't me"

"Why did you lie?" Videl asked as her upper lip began to tremble. "Why did you lie to me and the world all of these years?"

"I didn't mean too, it kind of just happened and I stuck with it" Hercule confessed "I didn't want to let the people down"

"Who did defeat him then?"

Hercule tapped the seat beside him and his daughter took the seat and looked at him as he began to speak again. "There was a group of warriors all with black hair, and one with pale blue hair and a weird looking green guy"

"Yeah" Videl whispered

"They could do some weird magic, I thought it was all apart of Cell's tricks, but they turned their hair Golden and emitted such a strong force, I remember a man and his young son. The father was fighting but stopped to let the son do it, but then something went wrong and the father was gone after a big explosion happened, myself and all my crew were knocked unconscious…when we woke our camera's were broken and the little boy was standing in a ragged cloth outfit blood all over his body cell was no where to be seen"

"Why didn't you let this boy take the credit, he deserved it?" Videl asked

"I didn't have the chance, everyone just assumed that because I was the only one that was left that I was the one who defeated him, in a way I was happy they thought I'd did as I was the current world champion and I could give you and your mother what you'd both want, but I was wrong" Hercule answered

Videl's face saddened they had been going through a few hardships but still she didn't believe that he needed to lie to everyone he still would've gotten some royalties from winning the world tournament. She sighed though, 'How did Gohan know about her father not being the real one who defeated Cell?' her mind lingered.

Swallow me then spit me out

For hating you I blame myself

Seeing you it kills me now

No I don't cry on the outside

Anymore

Anymore

The following morning Gohan was busy training out in the mountain area with a young Goten. Goten was throwing rocks at him and Gohan was trying his best to avoid them, only problem was that Gohan was extremely fast and was doing rather well to be honest.

The smallest son's spiky hair gave him a twin resemblance to that of his father had when he was the same age. Gohan smiled and paused looking at his brother.

"Big brother?" Goten whispered "When's Videl coming around?"

"I don't know Goten" Gohan whispered as his mind traveled back to the previous day. The two had shared something special, they'd become one almost instantly and it was made more official the night before. Until the interview her father had on international television.

"Brother this is getting boring" Goten complained "I'm going super"

"Alright then" Gohan answered in agreement

Meanwhile Videl's aircraft edged itself closer and closer to Gohan's place. She decided to walk the rest of the way when a light flashed on her screen signaling she was low on fuel. She dropped to the ground and placed the air craft in its capsule and flung it into her pocket.

Running her hands through her hair. She paused as she saw a flash of light in the sky. Two figures flying into the sky. Both emitting a powerful energy around them. Videl stared in shock. These two figures were fighting, one appeared to be much smaller then the other. She ran to get a closer look at the figures. The closer she got, the more she could see their faces.

Gohan turned around, thinking he'd felt Videl's energy.

Thump.

Gohan was knocked on the ground by the young Goten who couldn't stop laughing. He'd begun dancing in a round circle. However as Gohan picked himself up he saw Videl standing beside him.

All she did was stare at him as a small whisper escaped her lips.

"You lied to me"

Here I am once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny, Can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up deep inside,

But you won't get to see the tears I've cried

Behind these Hazel Eyes

Thanks for the reviews!
