Chapter 3
As Gohan and Videl entered the theater Gohan noticed that there was no one in the theater except them. "I wonder where everybody is." Asked Gohan.
"Oh, this is a really old movie so that's probably why." Said Videl plastering a Vegeta type smirk on her face for she knew the real reason why no one was there. She had paid a king's ransom to the movie theater owner so that he would make sure that no came to the same movie as Gohan and she was. Gohan and Videl sat down in the middle of the theater. A few minutes after they sat down the lights went out and the movie started. As the movie was playing Videl got comfy and laid her head on Gohan's shoulder. Gohan was taken by surprise at Videl's sudden interest in his arm. Gohan let Videl's head rest on his shoulder. After awhile though Gohan's arm was starting to fall asleep so Gohan pretended he was stretching and put his arm around Videl letting her head rest on his chest. As the movie played on Videl eventually fell asleep to the sound of Gohan's slow deep breathing and the quiet thudding of his heart. When the movie was over Gohan went to get up not noticing that Videl had fallen asleep. When he tried to get up he couldn't because her head was in the way. Gohan looked down and saw that she had fallen asleep and smiled to himself. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep. Gohan thought to himself. Gohan sat there for a few minutes just watching Videl sleep. Then he remembered that Videl and him were going to meet Sharpner and Erasa outside the movie theater to go somewhere and eat. Gohan bent down by Videl's ear and whispered quietly, "Videl the movie is over time to get up."
"Mmmmmm… that feels good Gohan." Said Videl talking in her sleep.
Gohan got red in the face. She was obviously having indecent thoughts about Gohan and her. "Videl c'mon sleepy head time to wake up, we have to meet Sharpner and Erasa, remember?" asked Gohan shaking her slightly now so that she would wake up. "Hmm, what, the movie's over already?" asked Videl half awake.
"Yeah, you fell asleep, remember?" asked Gohan as Videl rubbed her eyes.
"Oh yeah I remember now." Said Videl.
"You also remember what promised Sharpner and Erasa, right?" asked Gohan now getting up.
"Yeah, oh we better get going, they'll be worried about us." said Videl as she grabbed Gohan's hand and ran out of the theater.
As they got outside they found Sharpner and Erasa just coming out of the theater. "So did you two have fun asked Sharpner as he and Erasa held hands.
"Yeah the movie was alright, Videl fell asleep so she obviously was bored with it." Said Gohan as he looked over at Videl and smiled, Videl just him a dirty look.
"How about you guys?" asked Videl.
"Yeah we had fun didn't we Erasa?" replied Sharpner as he winked at Erasa.
Erasa just giggled and shook her head yes. "You don't need to tell us anymore Erasa." Said Gohan as he started to laugh.
"It wasn't like that." Said Erasa in protest.
"Sure it wasn't." said Gohan.
"IT WASN'T!" yelled Erasa now mad.
"Ok whatever you say." Said Gohan.
As the two couples continued to walk down the street to a local restaurant they talked about younger days and what they planned to do once out of high school. "So Gohan are you still going to be Saiyaman even when your old and wrinkly and are you going to fly around in that, yuck, suit you where?" asked Erasa being the fashion fanatic she was.
"No Erasa I won't hopefully I'll find someone not long after I get out of college and settle down." Said Gohan giving a Son trademark smile.
"What do you mean when you find someone Gohan?" asked Videl in a stern voice.
"Um, well what I mean is…" started Gohan.
"Don't you mean when we get out of high school?" asked Videl in that stern voice again.
"I never had the faintest idea you wanted to marry Gohan." Said Erasa.
"I would at least like to live with him, he's such a sweetheart, how could any girl not want to live with him?" asked Videl looking up at Gohan and winking at him.
"Yeah, I guess, lucky me." Said Gohan sweated dropping.
"So it's final then, after your last year of high school I'm moving in with you, oh Gohan you're the greatest!" yelled Videl as she jumped on Gohan and gave him a giant bear hug.
"Yeah, thanks Videl." Said Gohan sweat dropping again.
The rest of the night was uneventful. After the two pairs got done with their rather late supper they said goodbye and parted ways, Gohan and Videl going one direction hand in hand and Sharpner and Erasa going the other direction hand in hand.
"Gohan what time is it? Asked Videl getting rather sleepy.
"It's about midnight, why." Asked Gohan sounding concerned.
"Oh nothing much, I guess." Said Videl as she started to slow down.
"Videl what's wrong, I know you to well, you can't hide your feeling's from me." Said Gohan as he stopped and tilted Videl's chin with his finger so that she was looking right at him.
There was silence for a while. The only sound that could be heard was of Videl's small whimpers of sadness in Gohan's chest as he held her in his iron grip. Gohan's heart was starting to crack because he didn't know why Videl was sobbing in his arms and she wouldn't tell him. "Videl please stop crying and tell me what's wrong." Said Gohan again.
"You promise not to tell anyone, and if I tell you Gohan, you also promise not to hurt my father?" asked Videl as she looked up at Gohan with fresh tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Well I depends on how bad it is." Said Gohan.
"Well just try to prevent yourself from doing and my dad could get in big trouble if you told anyone." Said Videl.
"Just tell me what's wrong." Said Gohan.
"Well on nights like tonight, you know the weekend's my dad usually has his women come over so that they can't pleasure him. Well one night I got home early from one of my classes. When I opened the front door it was really dark in the house, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. Well anyway I turned the lights on and when I did there was one of dad's women lying on the floor with blood from a cut on her forehead and right next to her was my dad with a broken beer bottle in his hand. What had apparently happened was that this woman and my dad got in a fight and my dad got mad for some reason and hit her with the beer bottle. The women had a really hard time after that being around my dad because she is afraid of him now." Said Videl still sniffling, "the problem is that the woman's family couldn't sue because they would have no chance against all Dad's big lawyer's and crap, I wish just for once someone could beat my dad at something." Said Videl now angry.
"I sorry Videl that you had to see that, and I'm sorry that had to happen to that woman, but don't worry I know someone who will beat him at something and that something is fighting!" said Gohan now acting all proud.
Videl then looked up at Gohan and started laughing. Gohan gave her a confused look and asked what was so funny. After Videl calmed down and wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes she said, "Gohan you know that know one in their right mind would face my dad and hope that they would win. It's just not possible."
"Yes it is, and I can prove it." Said Gohan as he started to get just a little annoyed at Videl's ignorance.
"Gohan you must be crazy if you think that you can find someone that is stronger than my dad." Said Videl.
"Who said I would be looking for anybody, I'm going to beat him." Said Gohan giving the famous Son smile.
Videl almost fell over backwards when she heard Gohan say that. Sure Gohan was strong, but he could hardly be strong enough to beat her dad could he? Before Videl could think any longer Gohan spoke up, "Videl you know I can beat him, can your dad shoot ki blasts, fly, since energy levels from far away? I don't think so, so that proves right there that I can beat your dad." Said Gohan now getting very cocky.
"Okay Gohan I admit it you probably could kick my dad's ass, but please for my dad's sake don't do it." Said Videl now looking up at Gohan again.
"Videl do you actually think that I would go up to your door, knock on it, push your butler out of the way, walk up the stairs, beat your dad up, and then say had a nice visit see you later? I you are thinking that then you obviously don't know Son Gohan." Said Gohan looking down at Videl with a twinkle in his eye.
"No, I know you wouldn't Gohan, it's just that well some people this day in age you just don't know what they'll do to get attention." Said Videl snuggling close to Gohan chest as he encircled his arms around her and gave her a loving hug. When Gohan and Videl got to Videl's house Gohan was about to say goodnight when Videl asked him to come inside for a little while.
