Hey everyone! How's it going? Anywho, it's been a tough week, so sorry if this chapter sucks.

Hippiechic: Your questions will be answered very shortly. Oh, and about that whole despising Freddy thing: that was supposed to be a joke. Like when your friend teases you and you shout playfully, "I hate you! You're so mean!" Yeah, so if it sounded serious, then sorry about confusing you. Oh, yeah, and thanks for your reviews!

Payne N. Uranus: P.O.G. is one of my many mottos. If you read my profile (it's not that long) you'll see what it stands for. I don't want to write it too much because I came up with it (along with the help of my friends) and I don't want anyone stealing it. Anywho, thanks for the reviews!

A-Man: Well, a month has gone by in the fic, so maybe they would have gotten a little used to each other by now. But, maybe it did go a little fast….. sigh sorry, it's just that I'm a fast person and I always want to get things done. So, sorry again. Thanks for reviewing!

zfighter1989: LoL, you won't believe this, but I have a friend who loves literary devices. I kicked his ass, though, so he doesn't brag much about getting an A in that section anymore. Tee-Hee. Thank for reviewing!

To all those who reviewed: Thanks a bunch!

Oh, yeah, and if Gohan never had a keen sense of hearing, then he does now! LoL

Chapter Four

"Help! Somebody help!"

Gohan whirled around, trying to figure out where the plea came from.

"Please, just don't hurt by baby!"

'It's far away,' Gohan deducted, 'Probably six blocks from here.'

"Gohan? What's wrong?" Erasa asked him. He was out with his new friends that night. They were just coming out of Kojo's (A/N: You saw that coming, didn't you? Tee-Hee.) They were about to go home when they noticed that Gohan was acting strangely.

Gohan didn't answer, however, because he was gone faster than anyone could attempt to blink.

Gohan found himself in alley. What he saw both amazed and befuddled him.

There was someone already there, kicking the crap out of the robber. The person's ki spiked as they punched the criminal in the gut. Gohan instantly knew who the person was. He almost winced as the vigilante kneed the thief in the groin, and then gave a roundhouse kick to his face, knocking him out cold. The rescuer picked something up from the ground- 'The purse,' Gohan thought- and walked over to the trembling woman, who was trying to soothe a wailing baby.

"Here you go, ma'am," a familiar female voice said gently as the woman was handed her purse, "Would you like me to walk you home?"

"Oh, thank you!" the woman sobbed, "When he pulled out that gun I didn't know what to do…"

"It's ok, not many people do," the voice said in an understanding way.

"And there's no need to walk me home. It's right across the street," the woman made a sound that resembled a bitter laugh, "And I thought this shortcut was going to be safe. I'm sticking to the regular way from now on. Thank you so much again. I owe you my life," the woman started walking away to the opposite end of the alley from where Gohan was.

"It's no trouble. I'm just glad I was here." The vigilante watched the woman make it safely across the street and into her home. Then she turned around and started walking towards the end of the alley where Gohan was.

As she neared the streetlight, Gohan noticed she was wearing regular clothes: jeans, a shirt, and a jacket. She was also wearing a black mask and a white bandana was tied around her head. She then saw Gohan and froze in her tracks, looking much like a deer in the headlights (A/N: Simile!)

"Videl?" Gohan called, "Is that you?"

Indeed it was Videl. He was absolutely sure when she grabbed his shirt front and dragged him into the alley, "Be quiet! Do you want everyone to hear you?" she hissed.

Gohan almost laughed at how inconspicuous Videl was trying to be. It was kind of cute, in a strange way.

Then Gohan realized she was saying something, "Huh?"

"What. Are. You. Doing here?" she said sternly.

Gohan grinned nervously and put a hand behind his head, "Well, I heard the woman screaming, so I came to help her."

Videl narrowed her eyes, "You just happened to be in the bad part of the neighborhood, huh?" She said disbelievingly.

"Well, no," Gohan shifted nervously from foot to foot, "I kinda… um… heard her from Kojo's."

Videl whistled with awe, "You really are an alien, aren't you?"

Gohan went rigid, his eyes widening in alarm, "How did you know that?"

Vide rolled her eyes and said slowly, as if she were talking to a child, "There's that little thing called the Cell Games. You know, where you defeated Cell and admitted you were an alien." (A/N: If some of you are mad at me for writing that Gohan admitted he's an alien, well, it would be kinda awkward if you were the only "human" that could go SSJ. Does that clear it up for you?)

Gohan let out a weak laugh, "Oh, yeah… kinda forgot about that…"

Videl smiled sweetly; so sweetly it made her look like the devil she was named after. (A/N: I kinda like that line. grins proudly)

Gohan cleared his throat, and- as if to redeem himself- said, "I'm only half alien, ya know."

Videl rolled her eyes again, "Yeah, and I also know that you knowing it was me wasn't a guess."

Gohan looked at her suspiciously, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means-" Videl began, but then she looked at him, her mouth still open with words she was going to say. Then, as if changing her mind, shook her head and said, "Nothing. It means absolutely nothing."

There was an awkward silence that just waited to be broken, expanding more and more until it consumed them both and soon moved on to the rest of the city. Then Gohan, who seemed to fear for both the city's inhabitants and for his and Videl's well being, said, "Why aren't you in the police force?"

Videl snickered, "Yeah, as if they'd take me. Not after what my-" Videl stopped, her blue eyes widening. There she goes again, blabbing about matters that she didn't want anyone else to know. The strange thing was, it only happened around Gohan. Was this another weird alien skill?

':Maybe it's love:'

'What? That's ridiculous!'

'So is your idea of an alien power that can make people shout out their secrets:'

'And so is love! I will never fall in love because there is no such thing! Now if you will shut up and leave me alone, I can find a way to get my foot out of my mouth and get out of here!'

"Videl?" Gohan was saying, "Are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Videl's façade returned, along with her cold and distrusting remarks. "More like an idiot," she said, and saw with a hint of regret the hurt expression on Gohan's handsome features, "If you tell anyone who I am, I will not hesitate to break my foot off in your ass." (A/N: LoL! I think that's the funniest threat I've ever heard! I crack up whenever I hear it!)

Gohan put his hands up, "I swear, I won't tell anyone!" Then, with a sense of revenge, he added, "Now I hope you don't join the force. Who knows what will happen if they give you a gun?"

The corners of Videl's mouth twitched upward.

Gohan saw this however, and decided to go on, "Was that a smile, Your Highness? I didn't know an Ice Queen could smile!"

Videl punched him in the jaw so hard it made his head snap to the side. It didn't hurt him as much as it hurt her, however, because Videl stepped back and shook her hand to get the feeling back.

"Are you ok?" Gohan asked worriedly, "I'm sorry, I should have-"

He stopped when Videl held up her uninjured hand, "You may be stronger than me now, but I will grow stronger. And when I'm strong enough, I will beat you, Son Gohan. Count on it." With that, Videl walked away.

When Videl was out of earshot, Gohan said with a small smile, "I'm looking forward to it, Videl. I'm looking forward to it."

TBC!

Hmmm…. I must say, I think I like this chapter the most, along with chapter two. But, I dunno, that's just me. I'm sorry if it was kinda choppy. Like I said, it's been a tough week. There was just so much I wanted to write, but I just didn't know how to write it. I hope it was ok. Alrighty, then, until next time!

P.O.G.

Bye-Z!
