Okay her we go again. I hope you guys like this chapter. I've had the idea in my mind for a few days now.

"Oh, hi Gohan." Sharpener said as the Sayjian walked into class a minute before the bell. "We didn't think you would be here today"
"Hey" He mumbled as he sat down next to Erasa. Sharpener had sat down next to Videl when he though Gohan wasn't going to
show and he had no intention of moving now.
Gohan didn't even notice. To tell you the truth, at the moment he really didn't care. All he could think about was what had happened
at Bulma's earlier.
"We missed you at lunch." A voice said. Gohan thought it sounded like Erasa.
"Yeah, we thought maybe you had gone home or something." He heard Videl say.
"Where were you?" Sharpener asked. Gohan stood still, looking at his desk. He still couldn't get over the shock.
"Hello? Earth to Gohan." Sharpener continued.
"Huh? Oh I, uh, just went out for some air and lost track of time." He lied quickly.
"Um, are you alright Gohan?" Videl asked, concerned.
He looked up at his friends and stared directly into Videl's eyes. She was even more concerned when she saw the pained look in his
eyes.
He nodded solemnly.
Videl wanted to talk to Gohan more but the teacher called for silence and class started. An hour and a half later and school was over.
Gohan walked out to the parking lot to wait for Videl. He wasn't really worried about her coming over anymore. All thoughts about
her meeting Vegeta had been striped from his mind the second he walked into that room.
Videl walked out to the parking lot slowly. She wasn't trying to make Gohan wait, its just that she was worried about him. He had
disappeared before lunch and then when he came back he had looked so, so, Videl could even find the words to match the look on
her best friends face. She was a little afraid of going over to Gohan's house. He looked so bad she was afraid he was having a crisis
or something.
'If he is, I'd be glad to help him though it' she thought, all thoughts of playing hard to get suddenly gone from the young girls mind at
the mere thought of Gohan being in pain. Then she arrived at the parking lot.
'There's Videl. Finally' Gohan thought. He just wanted to try and forget what had happened, although he was sure he would have to
tell Vegeta. He just didn't know how.
"Come on Gohan, let's go to your house." Videl said in the happiest tone she could manage. Which, try, as she might, still sound sad.
Gohan only nodded and got in the car. The ride to Gohan's was a long and quiet one.
When they got to the house Gohan instantly sensed Vegeta's ki in the mountains near the house. He took Videl in to the house quietly
and without a word, only a wave of the hand. When they got inside, Videl looked around.
'Cozy' she thought. Then she saw the note on the fridge for Gohan.
*Gohan, I took Goten with me to the store. I'll be back later. -mom*
After reading it she showed it to Gohan who only looked at it and nodded.
She went into the living room and put the notebook she had with her on the coffee table and then sat on the couch. Gohan did the
same and sat next to her.
"Gohan," She said in a caring tone. "What's wrong?"
He didn't even look up at her. He just started talking. Neither one noticed the short man standing in the doorway.
Flashback:
The lab door opened and Gohan walked in to look for Bulma. On the way to the lab, Trunks had mentioned that his mom had been
in there for hours so he was expecting to see Bulma huddled over a desk working. The sight he saw instead shocked him to no ends.
There, on the floor, with what looked like an eight hundred pound droid on top of her was the lifeless form of someone who used to
be so energetic…. Bulma.
End of flashback.
Vegeta suddenly made himself known and walked into the room.
"So boy, I see you got yourself a girl…"
Gohan looked up and faintly smiled. Vegeta face turn from smug happiness to suspicion.
"Well, what's the matter boy? Spit it out!" Vegeta growled.
Gohan got up and felt a hand hold his. He turned to Videl. She smiled at him. He pulled his hand from her warm one and turned to
Vegeta.
"It's about Bulma…" Gohan started and took a deep breath.
"What happened to my wife?!" He demanded.
"I took her to the hospital Vegeta." Gohan replied." And um…and…gosh…Vegeta they said she's dead. I'm…I'm sorry." He
stuttered.
In all the years of peace they had had, Gohan had forgotten what it felt like to see someone you love die. Suddenly he thought again
of his beloved father then pushed the thought away, rationalizing that it was Bulma he should be thinking about.
He looked up to see Vegeta walk solemnly out the door with a stern look on his face. Had it been anyone else, Gohan would have
gone after him or her. But Vegeta was different. He would have been angry with Gohan for following him. So Gohan just let him go.
He had no idea that the once proud Saiyjain prince was right now, probably crying, mourning what he lost.
The Dragon balls had been used a month ago when a training droid Bulma built for Vegeta and trunks had blow up, destroying half
the house. The other wish had been to bring back Bulma's parents who had not survived the explosion.
It would be a year, before the once proud prince could see the one he took for granted…. Bulma.

So how was that? How should Videl react? Please tell me.
