I DO NOT OWN DB, DBZ, OR GT

I hurried up and got dressed. I decided to wear a green t-shirt and black shorts today. I ran down stairs mom and Bulma were talking. "Here you go Gohan." Bulma tossed me my lunch capsule and a sensu bean. "No breakfast?" I say.
"You aren't going to be hungry anyway when you eat the sensu bean." She says. I ate it and all my cuts and bruises went away I was training up until four this morning with dad and Vegeta.
"Gohan are you sure you want to go to school?" asked my mom coming up to me.
"Yeah mom besides I don't want to fall behind on my studies." I say taking off from the back yard of capsule corp. I land on the school roof building and I exit down the stairs to my class. Yes I'm not late. I walk into the class and everyone is there.
"There's our nerd!" says Sharpener from the top rows. I wave at him and go up to my seat. "So how does it feel to be a free man?"
"I was never locked up Sharpener." I say arriving up the stairs. "I didn't do anything."
"So we heard. You know what else we heard?" says Erase.
"Yeah?" I say.
"Angela moved away."
"Really this is the first I hear of It." says Videl speaking up for the first time. The teacher walks in and the day goes on as normal. Then lunched arrived we sat on the grass out in the court yard and talked.
"So how come you were let go? I mean Angela's mom has never lost a case she is like the best lawyer in Satan City." says Erase.
"Well Videl did some undercover work and well it worked." I say looking at her. "Ask her how she did it. If it wasn't for her I would probably be in jail."
"So how you do it Vi?"
"Easy I knew Angela was lying but she had proof she had sex I just had to figure out with whom."
"Who was it?" asked Erase so totally into this gossip.
"It was the very same officer that came to class that morning. He screwed Angela over both ways. I got him to admit it was him who gave Angela those bruises and trauma she had." said Videl.
"How did you get him to do that?" asked Sharpener.
"I made him think I no longer wanted to help Gohan. I made him think I actually liked him. Then boom he told Me." she says simply.
"But what made you think it was him?" asked Sharpener.
"I dunno instinct I guess and that his eyes were glued to Angela's chest the whole time during the sessions I can say this if anything he probably did rape her in his mind." We start laughing at the comment. On my way inside to class I tell Videl to meet me on the roof of the school as soon as school I over.
As soon as the bell rings I leave for the locker rooms and change and go to the roofs I wait about fifteen minutes then I hear the door open. Wow I guess Videl is like any normal girl and takes for every to change. I wait until I can fully see her and pick her up and fly. As I expected she starts to hit me. "You know you can't hurt me right?"
At the sound of my voice she stops struggling. Then I think she realizes we are flying because she looks down and grips onto me harder. "Don't worry I won't drop you."
"Where are we going?"
"A place where I think you'll be really able to concentrate on flying." After ten twenty minutes we land at my house. "Welcome to my home."
She didn't say anything she walked toward my house and then looked around. "You leave here huh. It's so quiet and peaceful here I see why you like it."
"Well like I told you before the only reason I hide my identity is because I like my quiet place and so does my family. So I'm going inside to put up my bag your welcome to come in." I walk in and head up the stairs I can hear Videl walk in. Coming back down stairs she is looking at the picture of me and dad in super form.
"Hey Gohan can I get my hair to turn gold too?"
"Sorry Videl no you can't it's impossible for you."
"How come?"
"Okay remember last night when I made that comment about humans?" she nods slowly moving toward another picture frame where all of us me, dad, Goten, Trunks, and even Vegeta are in super form in a picture together. It was taken at our last reunion I was seventeen. I quickly grab it so she can figure out who else is can go Super Saiyan.
She looks at me odd as I hide the picture behind my back. "So you can because you're not human?" she says as I head up stairs and throw the picture in my room.
"Videl I would tell you but I can't because it won't only affect me if I tell you so stop questioning okay?"
"Then answer me at least this are you wearing a suit that lets you blend with us 'humans'?" she asked. I was about to laugh then I realized she was serious. I swear these people really expect all aliens to be green like cell. "Videl I'm not wearing some suit. This," I say waving my hand around my face and body. "Is all me. I was born this way I'm not born no way different from you." Except I use to have a tail.
"Geez I was just curious." She says walking out the house. I follow behind her and close the door.
"Give me a second I need to change." I say pushing the button on my watch. I see her scowling at me. "What I said I needed a second didn't or did I take two?"
"Aren't you going to go blonde?"
"Nah it waste too much energy. So sit down." I say placing my hand on the ground as I too take a seat. She sits down grumpy. "Now first I need to teach you how to bring out your ki."
"Okay what's that?"
"It's this." I say shooting a ki ball into a nearby bolder. The bolder blows up.
"Okay that's what those trick things are called."
I grit my teeth. Stupid Hercule makes everyone think they are tricks. "No it's not a trick."
"I know it isn't a trick Gohan I mean that's what I know how to call it. What you define ki as that thing you shoot out of your hand we call a trick even though we know it's not." She says. "I just never saw one. Well expect those on TV."
"Well you are going to learn how to control that." I say nodding toward the bolder. She does a double take on the boulder. "It's easier than it looks."I say before she can argue with me.
"For an alien book worm yeah. For a normal earthling girl no." she says. It's shocking how she doesn't find this weird or creepy or report me to her dad or the army for being an alien.
"Videl you maybe an earthling and female but you are anything but normal." I say. You can kick people's ass that are triple your sides and avoid gun shots and even if you do get hit keep on fighting. I was smiling but I can see wasn't convinced. "Look I wouldn't try to teach you if you couldn't do it. So come on. Just relax don't think of anything. Mediate for a good while." I say.
We sit there for about twenty minutes and I started to get sleepy. I might as well take a nap while she meditates. I woke up with a punch to the face. I open my eyes and see Videl standing over me. "What the hell was that for?" I say angrily.
"Oh, shut up you act as if I can hurt you or was the Gold Fighter actually hurt by me?" she says walking toward the picnic table in front of the house.
"Yeah right you can't hurt me." I say. I know I was going a bit over bored with the whole thing but my Saiyan pride wasn't going to let Videl mock me.
"Then what are you getting so upset about?" she also says back angrily.
"I just don't appreciate waking up with a punch to the face. I mean come on really punch that's all you can think of to wake me?" I say going over to the picnic table. That's when I notice Videl has changes clothes. She wasn't wearing her blue t-shirt and black jeans but a black tank top and white shorts. She still had her boots on though. I started to stare at her. Stop Gohan! Just stop.
"Sorry but you are hard to wake up." She says. "Next time I'll kiss you how about that? Does that sound better?"
"Much better actually." She snorts as I take a seat at the table. I look around and see the sun was still in the sky but it would be going down in an hour or so. My watch read 5:09. "Just forget it. Come on since you've meditate you should be calm now."
She just glares at me. Then I realize she isn't calm but pissed. "Look did you calm down were you calmed down before you realized I was asleep?"
"Yeah I was. Then you had to ruin it."
"Okay the first thing you need to do is be completely calm then listen to the center of your body then until you start to feel a pull and bring it out. You see?" I say forming a small energy ball in my hands. She seems so mesmerized by it and looks closely at my hands. "Now you try."
"That sounds like bull but okay." She mimics my motions but she is all tensed up.
"Videl you need to calm down you'll never be able to do it like that." I say. We try for an hour or so then Videl I'm not sure but I think she starts crying. Why is she crying? "Videl hey are you hungry? How about we take a break?" She nods and sits up.
We go into the kitchen. The sun started to go down a bit. She sits down feeling better on the counter. I take out some leftovers we start eating.
"It's getting pretty late you aren't going to heading back now?" I say. "Daddy is probably looking for his sweet pea." I say a bit mockingly knowing how Hercule is toward Videl.
"Shut up mama's boy." She says.
"Daddy's little girl and he says it on TV!" I say smiling. I remember seeing those videos were Videl is in the back ground and he says his little girl is the defender of Satan City.
"At least I can choose my own clothes!" she snaps back.
That was an actual set back there which was true today was the only day I ever choose my clothing since I started school and that was because we stayed at Capsule Corp. "So, at least I'm allowed to date whomever I want." I say remembering that no one was allowed to date Videl unless they beat her father in a fight.
"And that has worked out so well for you." she retorts back.
If there is anything Saiyan about Videl it is her attitude. She always has a comeback for everything. "Okay you got me on that one." I say going to the fridge for some soda's I give Videl on as I take a seat.
After that it was night and the clock read 8:02. "Don't you need to call your mom? She isn't here she's probably worried about her baby boy it is a school night."
"Well she is at West City besides she knows I'm home. I told her I didn't feel like being in the city and how do you know she doesn't let me out late on school nights?" I say sarcastically. She gets up and grabs our plates and goes over to the sink and turns the faucet and starts washing. "Hold on a second you do dishes?"
"I wasn't always rich." She says washing them. "I did at some point have to clean my own room and other stuff."
"Well I guess I never thought about."
"Well you did now." Few minutes go by and we don't say anything. I then think about how we are. In a home just Videl and I we ate and now Videl is cleaning up after me and herself. Something inside me fell like this right then I go back to thinking this is just weird. "There that's done and it's nine forty. Should we practice more?"
"Are you up for it?"
"Are you? You sure you aren't sleepy?" she says mockingly walking toward the door. "Maybe you need a nap." I take it as sort of a challenge.
Scoffing at her attempt to mock me I get up from my chair and walked toward the door following her out the door. After about forty minutes or so Videl has fully calm down again I can sense her ki at a balanced level. "Okay Videl I feel you've calmed down now concentrate bring out that energy focus on your hands.
After a few seconds of my instruction a slight glow starts to illuminate in between her palms. Then a small yet visible energy ball formed. In the dark night the small energy ball really lit up things. "Videl you did it." I say quietly.
She opened her eyes which looked stunning with the light reflecting them. She didn't say anything and just stared at the ball of energy. She then looks up at me smiling. I was a bit mesmerized by her eyes to notice she started talking.
"Gohan I did it!" she says. I nod in approval and as just as it came it left burning it's self out. It went dark yet I could feel Videl staring at me and hear her breathing. Then I hear a thump. I light my own energy and see she is lying on her back.
"Tired much?"
"Greatly that took a lot out me." she says.
"Well you'll get used to it."
"So what's next?"
"Well next is trying to get you to control it and bring it out underneath you and boom you're flying." I say clapping my hands together shutting of the only light we had. "But that's for another day obviously you're tired so I think we should call it a day."
"Agreed," She says. "So tomorrow we start again?"
"Sure."
"What time is it?"
I look at me watch it reads 11:20 pm. "It's forty minutes till midnight."
"Shit!" she says scrambling to her feet. "I need to get home. My dad should be getting back from his trip and be arriving around eleven forty."
I laugh a bit as I watch her rush to the picnic table to grab her things. "What is daddy going to be mad if his little girl isn't home?" I can't see it but I bet she is scowling at me.
"Shut up, are you going to fly me or-" I don't let her finish and with lighting quick speed run over to her lift her up bridal style and fly off to Satan Mansion.
"You need to stop doing that." She says as she finally gets over the fact we are flying again.
"What? Flying you places? If that's the case I can drop you off right here and let you fly the rest which to me is about an hour and half still."
"You know what I mean. You just picking me up flying at a high speed I'm not used this stuff like you. Especially during those robberies you go through walls and glass."
"Do you get cut?"
"No, but-"
"But nothing as long as you aren't hurt I will continue to just pick you up and fly if that means saving your life and pissing you off is just bonus." I say. After that we stay pretty silent. Until we reach Satan Mansion. I slowly descend as I land on her balcony. She opens the door to the balcony and turns on the lights and throws her bag on the bed. "Well I guess-"
"Videl daddy is home!" said an all too familiar voice. The door knob was turning I can see the panic in Videl's face and disappear. Well not really I'm just hovering over the balcony door.
"Videl?"
"Hi daddy!" she says.
"Videl you're home! The maids weren't sure you were in."
"Well yeah I'm here so how was your trip?"
"Great! Guess what?" he says excited.
"Uh huh?"
"They investors are giving me a vacation!"
/-/-/-/
Vacation? Where we're you going before? "Vacation? I don't understand daddy." I say moving away from the balcony sitting on my bed. He soon follows and takes a seat.
"Well it means for the rest of the week no business trips, no conferences, no speeches just you and me!"
Great the only time you have spare time I'm busy. You really have bad timing. "Really that's great dad." I say trying to sound excited but I seem to have failed since he notices.
"Isn't this what you wanted? I thought you would have liked to spend this time together you know doing things we haven't done in a while."
"I did. I mean I do it's just that I have this really big exam coming up and I won't be all the time you see I will be over at Erases studying."
"Oh, well maybe next time."
"Yeah definitely so instead talk with old friends. You know catch up with some other people just use your free time wisely."
"Okay well it's almost midnight I'll let you go to bed." He says getting up going to the door. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight daddy." I say closing the door then locking it. Shit that was close. I get up and mover over to the balcony. "Gohan?" No answer. I guess he left. I turn around and there he was.
"So I guess we are going to cancel lessons so you can go over to Erase's house to study for a test I didn't even know we had."
I jumped. He laughed. I scowled. "Shut up you know damn well that was a lie I mean come on are you really that dense?"
I laugh even joking around she gets mad it's kinda cute. "Maybe I am. Then again you can't figure me out so maybe you are the dense one."
"Shut up and leave see you tomorrow after school." I say pushing him.
"Alright met me on the roof again?"
"Sure night." I say turning around going inside turning off the lights.
"Goodnight!" I hear him call out.
