Flashbacks

Special Emphasis

The remaining days come and go quickly and, in a flash, Saturday has arrived. Gohan and Videl stand in an open field not far from the lake. Videl has her eyes closed in deep concentration with her hands cupped in front of her wile Gohan stands relaxed with his eyes glued to her.

"That's good Videl, just like you did last time except this time I want you to try and push the energy away from your body." Gohan speaks as if he were her coach and not her boyfriend.

Videl keeps her eyes closed as a small ball of light forms in her palms. She trembles slightly in an attempt to push the small ball forward. After several tries the ball slowly begins to fade as it withdraws back into Videl. She leans forward and rests her hands on her knees wile breathing heavily. Gohan forces himself from embracing his exhausted girlfriend. He looks down at her with and says.

"That wasn't bad, your stronger than the last time you did that." He encourages.

"Dammit.. How can you make this look so easy?" Videl says wile catching her breath.

"Well to be honest Videl it wasn't easy when we all first started ether. It's just like walking or flying. When you first start your shaky and often fall, but the first thing you do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again and then before you know it, your doing it without thinking. It just takes practice." Gohan speaks softly yet with a voice full of wisdom and confidence

Videl leans back up and with one last deep breath and no reply she resumes her concentration. Gohan breaks her focus for a moment.

"Hold up a sec Videl."

Videl opens her eyes and looks up at Gohan. Once he sees that he has her attention he continues.

"This may help you some. Instead of trying to push the energy forward try to leave it where it is and move yourself away from it. Kind of like when you learned how to fly, you had to learn to levitate first, it's kind of similar."

"I don't see how it's any different but I'll give it a shot." She closes her eyes and resumes her concentration.

Within a few moments she reforms the little ball of light. She focuses for a few moments and Gohan's calm voice begins to echo in her mind.

'Good Videl, now use your ki to hold it there and slowly take an easy step back.'

Videl squeezes her eyes tighter as she concentrates harder. She slowly begins to slide her left leg back as she continues to listen to the voice inside her head.

'Your doing great, now for the other leg. Make sure you keep your elbows close to your body.'

Slowly she slides her right leg back. She pauses for a moment when her legs are even but she then moves her right leg back behind her.

'Very good your doing just fine. Now instead of dragging your legs start slowly walking backwards. Just two steps and then slowly open your eyes.'

Sweat begins to slide down Videl's face and drips off her chin. She listens to the voice and slowly takes her two steps back. She pauses and then slowly opens her eyes. She gets them half way open and then her frown from intense concentration turns into a wide smile in accomplishment. Gohan is still standing where he was with a proud grin on his face. Videl was now almost four feet away from her ki ball. Her ki ball floats for only a few seconds before it vanishes and Videl feels the drain of the exercise. Gohan darts forward as Videl stumbles back. He catches her and lays her down gently on the grass. She looks up at him and smiles.

"I..did it." She weakly says.

Gohan smiles back at her. "Yeah, you did. Relax for a bit now you exhausted a lot of energy for that. Don't worry though, it gets easier with practice."

Gohan lays down next to her on his side and looks into Videl's eyes. The two hold their stare for almost a minute but to them it only feels like a second.

Gohan is the first to break his eye contact with Videl and she gives him a slightly confused look as Gohan quickly stands up and says.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to go grab you some water. You should have enough strength to continue in about an hour."

Videl sits up on her elbows and looks up at Gohan. "Fine, just hurry up OK."

Gohan nods and smiles. "You got it. I'll be back in a flash."

Gohan turns and takes flight. He speeds back to his house for the water and a few other items. Videl is left on the grassy field as she stares off at Gohan. For a moment she just has a blank expression but a smile quickly forms on her face and she lets herself fall back onto the soft grass. She stares at the sky in deep thought.

'I guess maybe I do really like him... more than I even thought I could like a guy.'

Videl doesn't move and just lays there enjoying the cool breeze and the sounds of the peaceful wildlife around her. Just a few minutes later, Gohan returns with the water and Videl happily sits up. She smiles the instant she sees Gohan who is setting down the water and two towels. Videl raises an eye brow.

"Hey what are the towels for?" She asks.

Gohan looks at her in mild confusion and says. "For later when were at the lake."

Videl lowers her head. "I forgot about that. Gohan I'm not going to lie, I've.. I've never worn a bathing suit before." Videl hesitantly says wile looking away with a slight blush.

Gohan looks up at her in surprise and bluntly says. "What? But you could model with that body!" Gohan quickly covers his mouth and blushes.

Videl looks up in shock and blushes harder but then turns her head to the side in slight embarrassment.

Gohan uncovers his mouth and looks at Videl with a sorrowful expression. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to come out that way."

Videl keeps her eyes to the ground. "It's OK. I don't mind.. if you look at me like that. Your allowed to look.. if you want." Videl says nervously as her face turns brighter.

Gohan begins to blush now as well. Unsure of what to do he simply rubs the back of his neck and nervously says. "I um... thank you? I promise I won't make it a habit to stare.. ya know.. like that.

The two stand where they are in awkward silence for a few more seconds before Gohan finally speaks up.

"Hey, let's get back to your training, you've been doing great but you still have a ways to go before you can move on to actually engaging targets." Gohan says quickly, happy to have changed the subject.

Videl looks back at Gohan and their blushes fade into light shades of pink. She smiles and gives Gohan a nod. Gohan throws her a bottle of water which she quickly drinks half of and then tosses the bottle on the ground. She resumes her concentration but Gohan interrupts her.

"Hold up a second Videl."

She opens her eyes and looks at Gohan. "Huh?"

"I think that for today you better just focus on sustaining ki outside of your body. Right now it's taking everything from you just to do that. You'll be able to focus on moving it from you a lot better when your not struggling just to form it."

"How long do you think it'll take before I can control my ki better?"

"Well it just depends on the person, but I would say about a week from now you'll be able to form an energy ball in each hand without a second thought." Gohan speaks in his teachers tone again.

Videl smiles a little. 'Wow, I thought it would take me much longer. OK then, here I go.'

Videl resumes her concentration with a new goal. Gohan and Videl spend the next couple hours in the field until the sun has moved across the sky and is only an hour or so away from setting.

Gohan smiles in satisfaction at Videl. "Very well done! I think that's enough for today though Videl."

Videl looks up from her still cupped hands and smiles despite being completely exhausted at her progress. Her only verbal response is a shy giggle.

Gohan looks over to where the sun is. "Well I think it's about time we move over to the lake, it's going to be dark in about an hour and a half."

Videl nods and Gohan grabs their things and they begin walking over to the lake. The two walk in silence at first but then Gohan remembers something that he had been meaning to ask Videl.

"Hey Videl I have a question for you?" Gohan says softly.

"Whats up Gohan?"

"Well I was just wondering, about your hair."

"Ugh, Gohan if you say it would be better shorter I'm going to find a way to kill you and then do it." Videl says in an attempt at humor.

Gohan stiffens up a little and then continues. "Uh, not exactly. I was just curious though, did you cut it short because I suggested it or did you do it because you wanted to do it?"

Videl smiles. "Gohan I cut my hair like this when I fought in the Jr. division. Although I have been keeping it short because." Videl lowers her head slightly feeling a bit embarrassed. "I thought you liked it like this."

Gohan smiles slightly and responds. "If you want to grow your hair back out then do it. I think you looked very good in those pigtails." Gohan begins to blush lightly.

Videl tugs on the bottom of her shirt and after a moment of silence she says. "Thank you Gohan. I think I might just do that."

Before Videl knows it, she's standing on the beach surrounding the lake. Videl looses her breath at the sight of how the sun combined with the light breeze give off the effect of a million tiny sparkles over the top of the lake. She is so stunned by the beauty of the lake that she at first fails to notice the sight right next to her. Finally she sees an orange blur in the corner of her eye. She snaps her head over to the source of the blur and instantly her jaw drops.

'Wow! I've seen him in his gi before and I knew he was built nice but...'

Gohan pulls off his shirt and tosses it to the ground next to the things that he had brought for the day. He's completely unaware of the effect of what he did is having on Videl who's mind is now racing and filling with dark desires. She tenses up and uses every ounce of her self control to keep from pouncing on top of Gohan. Try as she might though she can feel herself begin to loose it. She knows what she wants and anytime she has ever wanted something she always went out and took it. This time though was different, she wanted Gohan but she couldn't have him, not like that. She struggles internally. Gohan is oblivious to her at the moment. Finally Videl snaps and, in one motion she tackles Gohan. Gohan gets caught by surprise so badly that he inadvertently flips Videl over him and she lands on the sand and skids a few feet. Videl lays there for a moment and Gohan pushes himself up to one knee. He stares at her in both shock and horror. Videl slowly pushes herself up and sits with her hands buried in the sand, her face turning eight shades of red in embarrassment.

'How could you be so stupid! Loosing control like that! I bet he's never going to want to see me again after this!' Videl begins to have tears forming in the corners of her eyes, she can't bring herself to stare at Gohan, she already knows what he's thinking.

"Videl! Are you alright? Ooh man I'm so sorry I didn't mean to throw you like that!" Gohan fearfully yells as he races over to her.

Gohan slides like a baseball player into the sand next to Videl and he places his strong hands gently on her shoulders. She drops her head in shame.

'Damn him! Doesn't he know what I just tried to do! What I still want to do.'

'Oh no, I must have hurt her. I'm so dumb! Dammit!'

Gohan takes Videl by complete surprise as he pulls her into his arms. He softly says.

"I'm sorry Videl, I didn't know you were to tired to stand, I didn't mean to toss you like that it was just reflex."

Videl almost can't believe her ears. 'I never thought I would be so happy about how naive he is.' She thinks as she returns his embrace. Her blush quickly begins to vanish and her tears begin to vanish. She responds to Gohan in a low but happy voice. "It's alright Gohan, I'm, not upset with you."

Gohan smiles at her words and the two hold their embrace for several seconds. Gohan finally speaks.

"So, do you wanna go swimming now?"

Videl happily says. "Sure." She gets up and dusts some of the sand off and asks Gohan. "Um, do you know where I can change into my bathing suit Gohan?"

Gohan scratches his head. "Oh, yeah, um, I guess right over there behind those bushes."

Videl looks over to the bushes and then back at Gohan. "Ugh, I was hoping for something a bit more private." She then glares at Gohan. "Don't even think about trying to peek got it?" She says seriously.

Gohan holds his hands up defensively and laughs nervously and says. "I wouldn't dare!"

Videl smiles evilly. "You better not, we haven't gone out long enough for that yet now have we."

Gohan's breath catches in his throat and he gives out an odd sound before saying. "I-I guess not."

Gohan rubs the back of his neck inadvertently flexing his arms and without his shirt on the stretching motion cause the muscles in his side to show quite well. Videl can't help but notice and once she does her mind begins to become filled with thoughts once again that she would rather not be there. Videl quickly looks away before she has a repeat of before. Gohan watches her as she hurries off to the bushes. He then quickly turns his back and fights his own lusting desire.

A few moments later Videl emerges from behind the bushes shyly. She looks over at Gohan and can't avoid her thoughts this time.

'Damn! I never thought someones back could look so hot! I wonder what it would feel like to rub my nails down his back.' Videl shivers at her thoughts and then shakes her head. 'I have to keep myself in check this time.'

She creeps up to Gohan hoping that he doesn't react badly when he sees her. His sensitive ears picks up her footsteps in the sand and he turns around. He can't help but stare. Videl gets very self conscious and folds her hands over her chest. Gohan sees the way she is acting so he closes the last few feet between them and he grabs her hand with a warm smile. Videl doesn't argue as he begins to lead her out into the water. Once they are about waist deep Gohan looks at her and asks.

"How well can you swim?"

Videl quietly responds. "Pretty good but I haven't swam since before the whole Buu thing happened."

Gohan smiles and Videl glances up at him. "Wait a minute I know that smile. Gohan what are you about to DO!"

Without warning, Gohan wraps his arm around Videl's waist and he leaps over to a deeper part of the lake. The two submerge for a moment but then they break the surface. Gohan laughs wile Videl glares at him.

"What the hell did you do that for?" She says wile glaring daggers at Gohan.

"Sorry but it just didn't seem like we were ever going to make it very far into the water so I just decided to give you a little boost."

"A boost huh? Your so dead Gohan." Videl says with a grin.

She propels herself through the water and pushes down on Gohan's head. He tries to say something but his mouth fills with water. Videl smiles in satisfaction but then shrieks when Gohan grabs on to her leg and flips her over. The two continue to cut loose and have fun like a couple of kids until the sun finally sets.

Gohan and Videl make their way out of the water grinning from ear to ear.

"I don't think I've ever had so much fun swimming before." Videl says cheerfully.

"Yeah that was a lot of fun, except for when that fish tried to eat me."

"Oh don't lie, you know that was your favorite part." Videl says as she pokes Gohan in the ribs.

Gohan leaps off to the side and grabs the spot that Videl had just poked wile laughing wildly. Videl's eyes go wide and she begins to smile brightly and says.

"Oh your kidding me! Your ticklish!" She says in disbelief.

Gohan recovers after his moment of uncontrollable laughter. "N-No! Me? Ticklish? Don't be ridiculous Videl!" He says nervously.

Videl slants her eyes but keeps her smile and says. "You can't hide it Gohan. I'm going to get you again before this day is over."

Gohan steps back and laughs nervously. 'Oh great, now she knows I'm ticklish in my ribs she's gonna be aiming for those until she has me begging for mercy. I'm not sure which is worse, Vegeta trying to kill me or Videl trying to tickle me into submission.'

Gohan tries to change the subject. "Uhh, so about that bon fire."

Videl eases up a little. "Oh yeah I almost forgot about that. How long will it take to get the fire started? The breeze coming down from the mountain is making me kinda chilly."

Gohan looks at Videl. "I can tell."

Videl quickly looses her smile and she glares at Gohan. "And just what makes you say that Gohan?"

Gohan feels a shiver go down his spine and he looks away. "Uhhh, nothing. I'll be right back. I'm going to go grab some wood to burn."

Gohan doesn't wait for a response, he jumps off into the woods. Videl continues to glare for a few seconds more but soon after Gohan leaves her frown turns back into a smile.

Sure enough only a few minutes later Gohan returns with a large tree.

"I'm back!" He calls out as he lands.

Videl looks away from the lake and up at Gohan. If she was standing she would have fallen over. Not only does Gohan have a whole fully grown tree on his back, his muscles are bulging from the weight. Videl notices every detail of Gohan's body.

Gohan lands near Videl who is still awestruck and he tosses the huge tree on the ground like a twig. The tree causes the ground to shake under it's weight and Videl snaps out of her daydream.

"This should be more than enough to last over here for a good wile." Gohan says happily.

"Gohan! Is there anything you can't lift!" Videl says as she stands up.

Gohan looks up and thinks. "Hmmm... I'm not sure, I guess there's some things that are to heavy."

"Yeah like planets probably." Videl says under her breath. "So, how are you going to cut that tree into fire wood?"

"Like this."

Gohan says as he jumps up and chops down on the base of the tree effectively cutting a large piece of it off. He then repeats the same motion to the cut piece until he has several decent sized pieces. He then tosses a few pieces off to the side and holds his hand out to them. Videl watches in amazement. Gohan shoots off a small ki blast and keeps feeding energy into it until the wood ignites. Within a few minutes the two have a decent fire.

"There, all done." Gohan says as he dusts his hands off.

Videl shakes her head. "Your to much Gohan."

Gohan laughs and rubs his neck. "I guess I was showing off a little there."

Gohan plops down onto the ground near the fire and Videl joins him. The two sit in silence for a few minutes just enjoying each others company and the warmth of the fire. About thirty minutes pass and Gohan leans back onto his elbows.

"Ya know Gohan, I've been having a lot of fun with you." Videl says.

Gohan looks over at Videl. "Really? I was honestly a little worried that I was boring you."

"Believe me I've been far from bored."

"Oh ya? What makes you say that?"

Videl smiles and squints her eyes slightly.

"Wait, whats that look for?" Gohan asks in genuine curiosity.

"This is one reason why I don't think I could ever get bored around you Gohan."

Without warning Videl leans over and to Gohan's complete surprise she begins poking him in the ribs. Gohan is powerless to do anything except kick his feet and try to roll away but every time he tries Videl grabs him and pulls him back down.

"Oh no you don't you!" Videl says with a huge satisfied smile.

"Vi-Videl! S-S-Stop! Please! I Can, I can't-breathe!" Gohan barley spits out as he struggles for his breath.

Gohan continues to laugh and kick and grab at his sides and Videl laughs almost as hard. Finally Gohan reaches over and grabs onto Videl's lead arm and jerks her towards him. Before ether of them know what happened Videl is laying on top of Gohan. The two cease all laughter immediately and stare at each other. For a few moments they stay frozen like statues just looking into each others eyes. As if being controlled they begin to move closer to each other. Gohan reaches up and places his hand gently on Videl's face. His fingers becoming tangled in her hair. He gently begins pulling her down and Videl slowly lets her weight drop her further down. All other movement seems to come to a stand still. Videl's soft breasts are now pressing firmly against Gohan's solid chest. Their hearts begin to race and pound at their chests. Their lips are only an inch away and all thought stops between them both. They both close their eyes and close the final gap between them. Their lips finally connect and as if being fueled by their passion for each other, the bon fire erupts. Their hearts skip several beats as they loose themselves in their first kiss. A few seconds pass and the two finally break their lips away from each other. The both begin to blush. They don't break their eye contact, they just continue to breath heavily as they catch their breath. The two smile at each other.

"Wow, that was..." Videl says between breaths.

"Amazing." Gohan finishes for her.

The two begin to lean towards each other for another kiss when a beeping sound catches their attention. Videl brings her wrist up to her face and looks at her watch.

"Dammit, I didn't think it was this late already." Videl says in a very disappointed tone.

"You have to go I take it?" Gohan asks in a just as disappointed tone.

"I'm sorry, but if I'm home late then my dad will freak."

"Yeah, I know."

Videl pushes herself up and Gohan follows her.

"I'm going to change back into my other cloths. Do you think you can fly with me home?"

"Of course I can. Wile your changing I'll put the fire out."

"Thank you Gohan." Videl smiles as she hurries off to change her cloths. Gohan puts the fire out and puts his shirt back on. The weight of what happened still hasn't set in on the two. To them at the moment it feels more like a dream then anything.

Videl emerges from the bushes and walks up to Gohan who's just finished packing up the last of the things.

"Ready to go Gohan?" She asks with a smile and rosy cheeks.

Gohan nods with a smile of his own. "You bet."

The two look up and take off. Neither one having noticed the two sets of eyes watching them as they go.

Bulma and Chichi sit off in the bushes dressed down in camouflage and even camo face paint. Bulma has her hands wrapped firmly around Chichi's mouth. Once she notices Gohan and Videl have finally flown off and are well out of sight. Bulma releases Chichi and she falls forward. She catches herself and breaths heavily from the lack of air the past few minutes. Bulma looks at her and asks.

"Chichi are you OK?"

Chichi looks up with tears in her eyes. "Am I OK?" She asks. "I'm more than OK! I don't think I've been this happy in years! Did you see that Bulma! They kissed!" She over excitedly says.

"I know, I saw. I gotta admit, I didn't think Gohan had it in him." Bulma says calmly.

"Oh my! This is cause for a celebration!"

"Chichi I think it may be best to give those two some space. They seem to do better that way."

Chichi looks at Bulma and calms down a good bit. "Oh your right. I'm just happy for Gohan."

"Well hey I never said we couldn't watch them still, I just doubt that ether one of them would want us around when they are trying to have some alone time." Bulma says with a wink.

Chichi smiles. "I still can't believe this. Oh gosh at this rate I'll have to be planning a wedding by the end of the month!"

Bulma doesn't respond at first. She just stands back slightly nervously and sweat drops. She then looks down at her watch.

"Oh wow, hey Chichi I should be heading out. It's getting late and I need to see if Vegeta has damaged the GR again, you wouldn't believe the mess he made after Scrappy got in there last week."

Chichi stops her fantasizing and looks at Bulma. "Oh, OK. Well come back soon. I should probably get home to before Gohan sees me like this. It might raise a few questions to say the least."

"Ya at least a few." Bulma de-capsulizes a jet car and hops in. She waves bye on her way out and Chichi waves back as she runs back to her house excitedly.

'My boy is becoming a man.'

A little wile later...

Gohan and Videl land in front of her house. They walk up to the door hand in hand. Videl smiles up at Gohan and the two lean in for a quick kiss. They straighten out and look at each other lovingly.

'I know he has to go but I don't want him to leave.' Videl thinks.

'Man I've never had such a hard time saying bye before. It's not like I won't see her again.'

Gohan's senses pick up Hercule's ki moving toward the door. Gohan decides he should leave before he gets to the door.

"Your dads going to be at the door in a few seconds. I should head out." He says with a twinge of pain in his voice.

Videl nods. "Ya your right. I'll see you on Monday then?" Videl asks.

Gohan smiles and says. "I'll be at school waiting for you."

Videl smiles and blushes lightly. Gohan slowly begins to float away, their hands stay connected until he's out of reach but their eyes remain on each other until Videl's front door swings open. She turns back around still smiling and says.

"Hi daddy." She kisses him on the cheek and then walks in the house.

Hercule doesn't even have a chance to ask any questions. Videl greets him and walks right in with a bright smile.

'Wow, I've never seen her so happy. Maybe Gohan isn't such a bad kid after all. Not if he makes her this happy.'

Hercule closes the door and walks off into the house.

Videl goes up to her room and showers and changes into her night cloths. She lays down across her bed and touches her lips.

'I can't believe I had my first kiss. I wish Gohan was here so I could kiss him like that again... maybe more...'

She adjusts herself on her bad and continues to fantasize until she falls asleep.

Gohan speeds home. Although he hasn't eaten all day food is the farthest thing from his mind. He gets home and is relieved that his mother isn't awake this time. He hurries off and takes a shower. He quietly walks into his room so not to wake his brother and he creeps into his bed. He folds his hands underneath his head and stares out his window at the stars.

'That was the most incredible thing I've ever done and it actually happened without anything bad happening. I can't wait to see her again.'

Gohan's eyes slowly drift closed as sleep claims him.

A/N: This chapter was very hard to write for me at first. Sorry if it took a bit to long but I was just swamped with things to do and the lack of any real comedy or fighting made this a toughy to write. I know there are some things from this chapter like when Videl could hear Gohan in her mind. I'll explain that a bit later. As for what happened with Scrappy and Vegeta, well that's also coming probably in the next chapter. I hope the next one doesn't take near as long but we will see. R/R! Thanks!

Chapter 10:

Riot in Satan City;

No Spoiler this time. I may add it later.
