Chapter 7: Knowing a Person part 2 (Date style)
It was almost 11 and Gohan was already at the park anxiously waiting for Videl. He had been looking forward to it since the moment she said yes. Gohan was sitting down in a nearby bench contemplating his surroundings when he decided to check his clock and he saw the time, 11:15. "Maybe she is running late ..." thought Gohan as he started to worry. Another 15 minutes passed and there was still no sign of Videl and Gohan got a bit sad "Maybe she had better stuff to do than go out with me, and here I was thinking she actually wanted to be around me". As Gohan was getting up to leave a familiar voice calling his name. He turned around to face it and to his surprise it was Videl.
- "Gohan! Sorry I'm late I just couldn't decide what to wear and I still don't like this because I think it doesn't make me look all that good and …." But before she could finish she was cut off by Gohan
- "I think you look fantastic Videl" stated the saiyan as he proceeded to blush a bit and so did Videl. "I guess we should get going then shouldn't we?" Videl nodded in agreement and they started off their "miniature date".
They started by walking around the park looking at some of the birds that were in the area. After that they decided to lie down in the field and stare at the clouds to see if they could spot funny shapes and figures.
"That one looks like a star" said Videl
"I think that one looks like a pretty flower" said Gohan as he got lost in the moment.
"Oh really Gohan and how can you tell it's pretty?" Videl obviously was messing with Gohan but obviously Gohan didn't get it.
"Well obviously if you look at the shape it obviously looks like a beautiful rose and .." Before he could finish explaining his theory on why it was beautiful flower Gohan was cut off by Videl as she called him a nerd (playfully), she then proceeded to jump on him and start rolling on the ground with him (a/n Think Star Wars Episode 2 when Padme and Anakin are in the field). Gohan made sure to suppress his strength himself in order to not hurt as they rolled like little kids. They were both laughing as they rolled but Gohan eventually stopped and Videl ended on top. Their heads were pretty close; surely it was an odd moment for both of them due to the proximity. Gohan's hand was gently touching Videl's cheek while the other one held her by the belly. Her hands where on his chest hard chest but still she could feel his heart beat speed up a bit. Surely it couldn't get cuter for them.
"Your eyes their beautiful" said Gohan in awe as he just stared at her. Videl was blushing deeply due to the unusual position they were in and because Gohan's word seemed so sincere to her. "Um oh thanks Gohan" she was deeply red but after a couple of seconds she gently got off him and Gohan got up slowly after her noticeably still in a bit of shock about what happened.
"Um so what do you want to do know Videl?" Gohan got shyer than ever while saying those words.
"Well um you see I wanted to go to the city with you if it's not a problem with you" asked Videl really hoping that Gohan wouldn't leave because of the odd moment.
"Of course it's not a problem, and then maybe we can get something to eat too!" Said a cheerful Gohan as if nothing had happened a couple of minutes back and so they parted.
Videl decided to give Gohan a tour of the city until they saw the mall. Videl wanted to take Gohan through some stores to show him the different things it had to offer but also because there was an indoor amusement park in there so she figured it would be fun for them. They passed a couple of girl stores that Videl showed Gohan but she didn't "torture" him by taking him in there. They passed an electronic store which Gohan showed quite interest to see what was in the market. But what both of them showed a lot of interest was a nice bookstore in the corner of the mall. They both went in to see what they could find on their own. One book in particular caught Gohan's eye so he decided to buy it along with a couple he had found earlier. Both of them came out with a couple of books, Videl had bought a nice action-adventure book and one about different fighting styles and its history while Gohan bought some boring science books according to her. After storing them in some storage capsules they decided to head to were the amusement park was located.
"So Gohan what kinds of ride do you like?"
"Um I have never been in an amusement park before, am I supposed to like something in particular?"
"Well of course dummy, here lets go to that big roller coaster, it just opened like 2 months ago and I have been dying to try it". Gohan nodded and they went on to make the line. The employees offered Videl to give her special access so she wouldn't have to wait but she politely declined. While they were getting seated in the ride Videl seemed a bit tense and Gohan told her to relax because everything was going to be alright as he smiled at her and she blushed a bit. After the ride they were both pumped but there was something wrong Gohan was really hungry so they decided to buy some cotton candy … or 20 in Gohan's case.
After eating Gohan spotted something that he really wanted to try, it was a picture booth. Videl was reluctant at first but Gohan had already dragged her to it. They took like 12 sets of pictures and they picked the ones they liked the most. Gohan picked for himself in a 5x7 size one where Videl is in front of him smiling and his head is peaking behind her staring at the camera (A/N Think of it as if they were crossed in an X). Videl also got a copy of that one in that size along with one where Gohan is in his famous son pose and she is staring the camera all smiley. Truly it was a cute moment but not cuter than when Gohan won a teddy bear in the fair around the amusement park and he gave it to her.
"Thanks Gohan really" said Videl all blushy while she was holding the teddy bear all tight.
"Gosh Videl it's nothing really" the famous son pose came in to play as these words were spoken.
It was getting late so before ending their day they decided to get some ice cream. Each one had a big cone with their favorite flavor. Videl had a strawberry cheesecake flavored one on a regular cone while Gohan had Vanilla on a waffle cone. Videl decided to molest Gohan by taking a lick out of his ice cream. "Hey!" said Gohan concerned about his ice cream so he decided to try and take a lick out of her cone but Videl anticipating his move put her cone in his nose. Gohan kind of looked like a Unicorn in all sense. Videl couldn't stop laughing but Gohan obviously enjoyed the moment and he also started laughing.
Gohan had decided to walk Videl home to make sure she got home safe. They talked about their day, school and a bit about Videl's past. Gohan learned that Videl's momma was killed by some thugs as she was walking through the city one afternoon. This is the main reason why her father prohibited her from going into major scenes with danger. After a couple of minutes they finally arrived at the Satan household.
"Thanks for the amazing day Gohan, I really enjoyed it"
"Nah thanks to you Videl, you're the one who made my day" Gohan said more confidently. So um when do I um get to meet um well you know
"Meet who?" Videl's mood changed a bit.
"Um you know your dad or something like that" said Gohan as he gave the son pose.
Videl's heart felt like a million daggers where just put through it. She couldn't believe what she was hearing much less from him. "No Gohan, you don't, I thought you were different, just go". She was trying to hold her tears back.
"Oh ok then maybe it's not time yet" Gohan was clueless as to what was happening so he didn't notice. Hesitated a bit but he leaned down and he gently kissed her cheek, "thanks for the beautiful day Videl, it's been amazing".
With those words Gohan left the Satan porch looking for a spot to take off. Videl went into her house and ran to her room and she locked her door. She threw herself into her bed and she started crying and crying with no stop. "I thought you were different Gohan, I really did". She eventually cried herself to sleep.
Gohan was left thinking about why Videl acted so differently there at the end of the date.
Flashback
While in the bookstore Gohan stumbled upon the romance area and one book had caught his attention
"DATING FOR MALE BEGGINEERS"
Gohan proceeded to look into it and found a couple of chapters interesting:
"How to finish a date" and "MEETING THE PARENTS".
