A/N: UGH! You peeps need to complain at the END of the story. Things may come to light here and there! Or at least, that's what my stories do!!!! …I hope… and as for the whole 'attitude change' thing, I started that on the end of chapter five, and I'll be honest, I DID make it hit him a little fast, but I have my reasons, and you better be careful, I am easily discouraged by flames (lol - not that what I got would be what I call 'flames', but still, just a warning… . I disgust myself, lol).
Oh yeah, and the first part of the story is not from the criticism (though I do except it) that I got on the last few chapters.
Now I hope we can all live in peace and harmony. (*snorts* like that's gonna happen) Toodles!

Chapter Eleven: It Begins…

Gohan walked into the bathroom quickly and turned on the sink making sure that the water was as cold as it could get. He cupped some in his hands and splashed his face with it.
"Man oh man…what is wrong with me? One second I'm me-me and the next I'm-I'm well, not the usual 'me-me' or whatever you want to say… Geez… This can not be happening to me!" He whispered. He turned off the sink and put his forehead onto the mirror, leaning on it for a second.
"What's happening?" He nodded his head sideways, not that he was doing it to anything. "I can't think…I should just…get some…sleep or something." He walked out of the room and was able to make it to his without bumping into Videl on accident Thank Dende!
Upon arriving to 'his' room, he saw that it was just like Videl's, only everything was black instead of blue and everything that was white, was still white.
He plopped onto the bed and fell into the pillows face first. He mumbled, "Why me?" into the pillows and stayed like that for a few seconds. Gohan groaned and turned around onto his back. He backed himself up a little bit and pulled the blankets up to his chin.
"Man, is it chilly…" He whispered.
Unknown to him, the thoughts were mirrored by Videl.
"Where is the furnace on this thing? We've got to turn up the heat!" She groaned. She brought the blankets around her tighter and tried to get to sleep.

The First Day After…
-
Trunks walked in front of the class and coughed lightly. Man was he in… actually, he didn't know what he was in. Everyone didn't know if they should let this slide, kill him, or congratulate him on his latest 'feat'. He sighed as everyone in the class looked at him expectantly.
He also noticed a little while earlier that it wasn't just the regular class in the room. There were actually TV reporters in the room also.
For crying out loud! Two teenagers went into space! YIPPEE! Now there's news.
Trunks knew for a fact, that if Videl weren't famous, than that is exactly how interesting the story would be, with going into space on purpose or not.
"We are here today, live, from Orange Star High School. The school of Satan Hercules' daughter, Videl. From what we have heard, an accidental slip on the spacecraft that was being shown as a special school exhibit, lifting off with Satan city's young heroine, and a school boy companion. This young man in the front of the room was leading this little project. Let's see what he has to say, hmm?" Trunks tried to ignore all of the other voices around him, many that were identical to that one. He only had one very thankful thought.
Thank Kami I'm not from this time…
He started to explain the predicament without making anything slip. "From what we can tell, Videl and Gohan are safe and well, so no worries there. The ship was in fine working order when the lift off happened, so that should be alright. Sadly, we may not be able to contact the two for over a month or two if not longer." He quieted down so that people could ask questions. He blindly picked someone in the back of the room.
"When are they going to get back?" It was from a boy in the back, more than likely some guy who was worried about his 'chances' with Videl. Trunks sighed again. He closed his eyes and thought I really wished I'd brought sunglasses, those cameras are going to kill my eyes.
"Apparently the two could be back next week to over a few months. A few things may have gone wrong with the ship during lift off that they may need to take care of during while in space, no biggy though. Gohan knows for positive how to take care of it though." I hope…
-
Gohan sighed, he woke up, expecting the suns rays to meet only, only come face to face with a metal wall. "This is not the way to greet a morning…" He groaned out and crawled out of bed. He leaned onto the dresser, remembering again what he did yesterday.
"I feel like I have a hangover…how long is this going to last?" He heard footsteps pass his door and go into the kitchen. He groaned again glaring at the door. "…and she's not helping any." He looked at his very few clothes, which included his school clothes, a 'Piccolo' gi, a 'Goku' gi, and a sweatshirt. He was wearing the sweatpants that went with it already.
He settled on the 'Piccolo' gi, deciding that he may as well try out the Gravity room since he seems to have some extra time.
Opening the door once he was done, Gohan smelt something sweet coming from the kitchen, something that smelled like…like…
Real food! {1}
He practically drooled as he ran into the kitchen. He saw Videl cooking something over the stove. He walked up behind her and looked over her shoulder.
"What're ya cookin'?" Videl looked up at him shocked but then turned back to the food.
"Breakfast. What do want?" Gohan thought about it for a moment.
"Um…everything? What the heck do we have up here?" He went over to the fridge that he surprisingly didn't see yesterday. Opening, he saw that there was just enough food for him to eat for pretty much a whole two and a half weeks. Videl looked inside the fridge when she heard Gohan whimpering. She just looked confused however.
"Gohan? What's wrong?" Gohan pointed to the fridge.
"I'm going to have to starve!" He whimpered again and Videl rolled her eyes.
"Hey, you're fault you eat that much…so what do you want anyway?" She asked.
"My normal amount of breakfast."
"Ha ha Gohan, I'm serious though, what do you want?" Videl asked. She bit her lip silently and actually caught her self saying 'Hopefully me.'
"You." Videl screamed touched the pan with her finger, causing it to burn. She heard Gohan come up behind her and ask her what was wrong.
"No-nothings… wrong… Nope-uh nothing's wrong in these parts!" She laughed lightly but was able to calm it down. Oh man…I sound like an idiot…
Gohan looked at Videl confused again.
"Are you okay Videl? Do you want to put some ice on the finger or something? I can take over cooking…" Videl nodded her head no.
"Can't trust you. You may keep adding more food than what you actually need." She brought her finger up to her mouth and sucked lightly on the burn. She brought it out and cleaned her hands, returning to the stove a few minutes later.
Gohan snorted he would have retorted something back, but since he was watching what he said from now on, he was able to make sure he didn't say anything *cough* inappropriate to her.
-
After a while, Videl was able to finish the food with minimal distractions. She had set all the food on the table but made sure that Gohan stayed away from her eggs and bacon. She sat down and watched him eat his food quickly he was only eating about half of his usual serving size. Videl nodded her head sadly when Gohan started giving her Bambi{2} eyes, asking if he could have just a little more. Videl kept on refusing, no matter what he said.
"But I'm _hungry-he-he-he!" Videl rolled her eyes at his consistent whining.
"I don't care if you're hungry or not, what you get is what you get! Now stop complaining or you can get your regular serving size," Gohan looked hopeful, "…once a day." Gohan stared at her shocked. He looked close to tears.
"On-once a-a day? That's IT?? You've got to be kidding me!" Videl turned around and glared at him.
"Try me."
-
The fiasco in the kitchen didn't last long, and Gohan submitted easily. There was no way he was going to take a full serving a day when he could get one and a half spread out at different times of the day. Videl walked into her room and grabbed the diary.
"Now let's see here…" She turned the pages and landed on the ones she was looking for.

My husband is an idiot. He honestly believes that if you train for an hour a day, you're the strongest person in the world. If it weren't for Videl, I would leave this place in a second. She's sitting on my lap right now sucking her thumb. She's so sweet!
Her eyes are such a tantalizing blue, I wonder who she got it from. It most definitely wasn't from her father and my eyes are a shade or two…less bright.
She looks up to her father though. I guess I can understand it though. The man is her father, she's grown up her whole life up to this point with him, how could she not look up to him? I do however wish that she'd look up to me a little more. I know she does, but I think I wish that she looked up to me and me alone. That would be entirely unfair to Hercule, and idiot or not.
Videl is rearranging her self in my lap. Oh my gosh, she's so cute! She's sucking her toes! You've never seen anything so adorable, and her eyes just wandering around the house! Oh, how sweet! Too bad that you have no eyes to see her with!
I wish that if my time on this planet ends soon that Videl comes with me, but that I know at the same time is too much to hope for, which is why I wish. If she can't come with me, her father, I know, will take care of her. Even if he is an idiot, he still cares for his daughter. For that, I am able to respect him.
The worst thing about him is that he has no real 'reality'. To him, it's all about him. That is his reality, there's no room for anyone else. Sometimes now and then however he may throw a 'party' and allow us a little room into his life. That's not fair to him again I suppose… He always has some time for little Videl. Thank whoever for that.
With Love,
Live
Videl brought her hand up to her eyes and wiped a few tears away. She remembered one of the last few words of the entry.
He always has time for little Videl.
She sniffed slightly and put the book right back under her pillow. She ducked her head into them and cried softly.
"He doesn't have any time for me anymore mama, he doesn't have anymore time…"

Tasy combed her hair and walked into the parlor. Her dress was an old-fashioned dress, one that people's who lived in the late 1800's would wear in America. She stopped when she saw that Polrei was in the room. She glared at him.
"Hello, Pol." He looked up at her from his seat.
"Tasy." She sat down beside him and they stayed in silence for a few moments. Tasy was the one that broke the silence.
"I will win this game you know. You can't beat me." She sounded just as confident as she felt, and that helped her a lot.
"We shall see little Tasy, we shall see…" They sat in silence for a while longed when a loud pounding was at the door. Polrei was able to get to it first after some squabbling. He opened the door and was greeted by a man with black hair that laid on his back. Polrei nodded his head at him.
"Mr. Ilorea I presume?" The man nodded. "Come in. We've been expecting you." He backed up and allowed the man some room to come in. He looked back to Polrei.
"'We'?" Polrei pointed over to Tasy.
"This is my s-"
"I'm Tasy, a 'renter' of a room here you could call me. At least for the time being." They laughed lightly and Polrei started leading them into a different room.
"Now, we must have this little chat as soon as possible hmm?" He pushed the man into the room, Tasy following close behind the pair and closing the door after them.

Gohan walked into the control room and sat in one of the chairs. The screen was put on 'clear', making it able so that you could see all the stars, planets, moons, and endless black that they were traveling through. He heard Videl come in and turned his head to look at her. He nodded his head.
"Hey." Videl nodded hers right back. She looked out of the ship.
"It's pretty here…" Gohan nodded his head.
"Yeah, you'd be surprised at how little people actually pay attention to it. We have it here every single night and yet people don't see it enough, because they take it for granted. Ironic, huh?" Videl nodded her head and sat down beside him in a chair.
"Can you…show me anything?" Gohan looked at her confused. "I mean um…can you tell me names of planets or stars or anything?" She grinned at him lightly "Or do you not know any of them." Gohan saw the challenging glint in her eyes and took up the bet, he pointed to an interesting array of stars that Videl hadn't noticed before.
"That's the Yuil-io-ga galaxy." Videl looked over at him.
"What's with the funky name?" Gohan shrugged.
"Sounded cool I guess. It probably has a meaning but I forgot what it was…" Videl snorted, but then a question came to her.
"How did you come up with those names anyway?" Gohan looked at her again.
"What do you mean 'come up with'? They were already there for centuries, longer than centuries…Millenniums even. A lot of this was here before earth was even made. Videl looked at him in shock. What the hell was he talking about. She started to laugh lightly, not believing him at all. All in all, Gohan was starting to feel a little pissed.
Videl saw this and rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, come on Gohan. We only got into space in the 1960's{3}. How could they have been there that long?" Gohan looked at her and sighed. She was one of those people who didn't believe in 'aliens'. Damn it. Gohan sighed.
"Videl, we're going to land on a planet in about a month and a half, as you know, but let me tell you something. We're going there to re-stock on supplies and see if we can get some help there. The help we get will come from aliens." He rolled his eyes, "Okay?" Videl looked at him. He thought she didn't believe in aliens when her own mother was one! Ha! That's a laugh! She bit her lip, contemplating about asking Gohan if he knew anything about Ukiri-jins. She made her decision.
"Gohan?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you…can you tell me types of aliens? Names or something?" Gohan thought about it for a moment but decided it would be Okay, besides, if anything got out of hand, there would always be the dragonballs when they got back to earth, right?
"I guess… Um…Nameks, Yarani, Buxtujin, Saiya-jin-" Videl put her hand up.
"Um…run that last one by me again." Gohan looked at her weirdly but shrugged.
"Saiya-jin." Videl raised an eyebrow. The fun begins tonight.
