A/N: I kind of made Gohan a little moody in that last chapter I hope I can turn that around in this chapter.
Flying for Results
Videl lands her copter in the front yard on the Son's Residence then puts it in its capsule.
She walks up to the door and knocks on it.
ChiChi opens the door and says "Why hello Videl what bring you here so early in the morning?"
Videl answers, "Gohan said I could come over in the morning so I can learn how to fly."
ChiChi looks in the direction of Gohan's room and responds, "He must have forgot. Why don't you come in?"
ChiChi opens the door for her.
Videl walks in and looks around.
ChiChi asks, "Is everything okay?"
Videl nods and replies "Yeah it just a lot different than home."
ChiChi asks, "Do you want something to drink?"
Videl replies, "I'll take tea please."
ChiChi pours them both tea.
ChiChi says "Goku told me your place was pretty big about how many rooms does it have?"
Videl thinks for a while "I don't know I would have to guess fifty."
ChiChi nearly shouts "Fifty that is a small village!"
They hear rustling around in Gohan's room.
ChiChi whispers "Stay quiet let's see if he will notice you here."
Videl nods in agreement.
Gohan comes out of his room in blue boxers scratching his head dragging a few clothing items behind him. He tiredly calls out "Mom I'm going to take a shower before Videl gets here."
ChiChi refrains from laughing and responds "Okay Gohan."
Gohan looks in her direction gives a tired smile and goes in the bathroom.
Videl snickers "He is definitely tired."
Gohan quickly opens the door looks out the bathroom sees Videl.
Videl does a little wave.
Gohan turns ten shades of red slams the door and shouts "DAMN IT!"
Videl cracks up laughing and says, "I think he's awake."
ChiChi agrees "Yeah he's awake now."
Videl asks, "Why was he so tired?"
ChiChi explained, "He and Goku did some late night training. And Goku still got up at the crack of dawn to do more training."
Videl remarks, "I see. Is that where Goku is now?"
ChiChi says, "No by now Goku should be showing up with a large fish for lunch."
Like clockwork, Goku shouts from the outside "Hey ChiChi I think this one could top being the largest fish I caught!"
ChiChi and Videl walk out the door to see the fish.
Videl exclaims, "That is even larger than the ones Gohan caught over the summer!"
ChiChi observes the fish "Yeah Goku I think it could be."
Goku notices Videl "Hey Videl. What's up?"
Videl replies, "I'm waiting on Gohan to get out of the shower."
Gohan comes out the door and asks "Mom, Why didn't you tell me Videl was sitting right there beside you?"
ChiChi answers, "I thought you would have noticed her or sensed her before coming out of your room in your boxers."
Gohan looks at Videl "I guess you caught me with my guard down."
Videl responds, "I can't expect you to have your guard up when you're that tired."
Gohan sighs, "I also wasn't planning on you seeing me almost nude until much later in our relationship."
Videl says, "It's okay we don't have to tell anybody."
Gohan asks, "How are you Videl?"
Videl replies, "I'm doing fine thank you. How are you?"
Gohan responds, "Still feeling embarrassed but other than that I'm good."
Videl asks "So where are we going to go?"
Gohan replies "How about the lake because Mom will be preparing the fish out here with Dad and I don't want any distractions, because you'll need to be able to concentrate."
Videl nods "Okay. But how would I get there?"
Gohan smiles "I'll carry you."
Videl gives him a wary look.
Gohan grins and scoops her up princess style then they take off for the lake.
Videl says, "I'm looking forward to being able to fly under my own power so you wouldn't have to carry me all the time."
Gohan responds, "I don't mind carrying you."
Videl replies, "I know that but I'm an independent woman."
Gohan lands and sets her down on her feet.
Videl says, "I know you told me the lake but my mind for some reason was thinking a different lake than the one we did the bonfire at."
Gohan replies, "This is the only lake on our property."
Videl realized something "Honestly Gohan that wasn't the first time I saw you without a shirt."
Gohan asks, "What are you talking about Videl?"
Videl grins, "You changed into swim trunks to go fishing."
Gohan remembers, "That's right. Just that this time I was in my underwear there is a difference there."
Videl takes a seat by the water "If I am your life partner then you should get used to me. I know that we agreed to take it slow but we should expect the unexpected. Like me seeing you in your underwear."
Gohan takes a seat in front of her "I wasn't expecting you to some over so early I was thinking late morning when I said for you to come over in the morning."
Videl laughs, "You should have specified that."
Gohan scratches the back of his head "I guess so. Anyway were going to start out by bring out your energy. I want you to sit like this." He sits cross-legged with his hands just below chest level. "Also for this you'll need to relax and focus on your energy until you feel like something is pulling then you just bring it out."
He did it as he was talking and had a clear yellow orb in his hands.
Videl moves in closer and looks at it in wonder.
Videl asks, "Is that your energy Gohan?"
Gohan lets it dissipate chuckles and replies "Yeah that was my energy."
Videl sits back down, crosses her legs, places her hands just below chest level, and says, "I think I can do this."
Gohan reminds, "Remember you need to be relaxed and focused."
Videl says "Right."
Videl sits there trying to bring out her energy after about ten minutes she was starting to get tense. Gohan noticed her hands shaking.
Gohan leans in and gives her a kiss.
Videl shakily asks, "What am I doing wrong? I really want to learn this."
Gohan says, "You still need to relax." He thought of something "You know how you felt your energy when I reclaimed you."
Videl nods her head 'yes'
Gohan continues, "Look for that feeling."
Videl wipes her eyes on her glove and tries to calm herself.
Videl takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out.
Gohan asks, "Are you okay now?"
Videl nods and replies, "I'm okay now."
Gohan says, "Let's try again and like I said you need to relax and I told you what to focus on."
Videl sits back up and once again places her hands back into position.
Videl takes another breath and lets it out. She then starts to concentrate on pulling her energy out. After a few minutes, a clear yellow orb starts to appear in her hands.
Gohan whispers "Videl you did it."
Videl opens her eyes, looks, and sees the orb in her hands then she collapses letting the orb dissipate.
Gohan catches her and asks, "Are you okay?"
Videl replies, "Yeah I'm just surprised that it took so much out of me."
Gohan says, "It was easier for you since I gave you an idea of what to look for and that you have been doing Martial Arts." He gives her another kiss.
(Meanwhile at the Son House)
KRO flies down and sees Goku and ChiChi working on a fish.
He lands and asks, "Hey is Gohan home?"
Goku and ChiChi respond "Hey KRO."
ChiChi continues "No he isn't. He is teaching Videl how to fly."
KRO asks "How is Gohan today? He was awfully tense yesterday."
Goku replies, "He's a lot better now, he's back to himself."
KRO asks, "Do you know what was bothering him?"
Goku give a half-truth "He was still bothered by Brock kissing Videl?"
KRO asks, "So how is he feeling better?"
Goku gives another half-truth "I gave him an opportunity to be able to spend some time alone with Videl and we did some training."
KRO scratches his head "I feel like I'm missing something. Oh well I'll go look for Gohan."
He takes to the air.
ChiChi calls after him "I don't know if he wants to be bothered."
KRO waves it off and goes searching for Gohan.
He finds Gohan with Videl and sees them kissing.
KRO snickers and pulls up a weak energy blast "This will get his attention" and he throws it down at Gohan's back.
(With Gohan and Videl)
Gohan was still kissing Videl when he felt an energy blast hit him. He jumps up and stands over Videl in a protective manner with an energy blast ready to fire. He shouts, "Show yourself I'll fight you!"
KRO lands laughing his head off.
Gohan lets the energy blast dissipate and he flies over and tackles KRO to the ground.
KRO shouts, "Okay, Okay I'm sorry get off!"
Gohan gets a hand full of dirt and throws it in KRO's face after he got up. Then he walked back over to help Videl up.
Videl asks, "Why are you here KRO?"
KRO responds, "Well I wanted to remind Gohan that Bulma was going to be coming over this afternoon to give us the results of our DNA tests."
Videl asks, "Why did you do a DNA test?"
KRO grins, "I told you this, Vegeta claims that we were descended from an alien called a Sirius. Bulma doubted it some and wanted to put that claim to the test. So during the last fullmoon we went to Capsule Corp."
Videl asks, "How did you get there if you don't get out during the fullmoon?"
Gohan responds, "Dad took them over using Instant Transmission."
Videl nods "I see."
Gohan crosses his arms "So what was the sneak attack for when you could have just said 'Hey'."
KRO laughs, "I wondered how you would react; besides your dad said you were feeling better. To me you still seem tense."
Gohan looks at him seriously "Well I just had someone attack me with an energy blast while I was kissing my girlfriend."
KRO asks, "Why were you so tense yesterday?"
Gohan says, "Because I was still mad about Brock capturing Videl?"
KRO remarks, "Your dad sounded like he wasn't telling me something when he said you got to feeling better after spending some time alone with Videl and getting some training in."
Gohan responds, "Dad figured you didn't need to know what goes on between me and Videl."
Videl remarks, "I don't see why we couldn't tell him. It's not like we had sex or anything."
Gohan looks at her and asks, "Are you sure?"
Videl nods "Yeah I'm sure I'm okay with telling him this topic."
Gohan disclosed, "I reclaimed Videl, KRO."
KRO looked a bit confused "What do you mean by reclaim?"
Gohan sighs, "To restore honor."
KRO asks, "How did you restore her honor?"
Videl replies, "By kissing me."
KRO not getting it says, "He kisses you all the time."
Gohan responds "Never mind KRO you're not getting it."
Realizing what Gohan and Videl was saying remarks "Oh that kind of kiss. Kind of like the one I caught you doing."
Videl laughs "Yes KRO that kind of kiss."
Gohan grumbles, "More like the one you interrupted."
KRO laughs, "You should have had your guard up enough that I wouldn't have been able to sneak up on you."
Gohan grumbles some more "I would have if I expected you to come down."
KRO asks, "What's wrong Gohan?"
Gohan sighs, "I'm trying to teach Videl about her energy and trying to teach her how to fly. Say could you go back and go get my truck?"
KRO looks at him with an eyebrow raised "Why do you want your truck and where is it?"
Gohan says, "I'll drive it over to your place. It should be in the side table by the front door or in my desk in my room."
KRO responds "Okay."
KRO takes to the air and off towards the Son house.
Videl asks, "Why did you ask him to get your truck?"
Gohan smiles "I wanted to get him out of our hair so we can get back to your training."
Videl asks again "How fast do you think he'll find it?"
Gohan pulls a capsule out of his pocket grinning, "He won't find it."
Videl crosses her arms "Gohan that's mean."
Gohan retorts "Not as mean as throwing an energy blast at me while we were kissing."
Videl asks "Do you treat each other this way all the time when were not in school?"
Gohan shrugs "Sometimes."
Videl shakes her head in disbelief.
Gohan puts his hands up and shrugs "What?"
Videl still shaking her head replies "Come on lets work on getting me in the air?"
Gohan leads her away from the water and more on to the grass.
Gohan says "In order to fly you need to push your energy underneath you. Again it would help if you're relaxed and focused."
Videl replies "Gotcha."
Videl stands there for a while trying her best and was starting to get tense again.
Gohan suggests, "Let's take a small break."
Videl relaxes and replies "Okay."
Shortly after KRO shows back up and says "Gohan I looked everywhere I could not find your truck. Is it possible you left it at school?"
Gohan laughs and pulls the capsule out of his pocket.
KRO charges at Gohan.
Gohan quickly pockets the capsule and takes to the air.
KRO follows him into the air.
Videl was watching the ground underneath them and noticed that the grass lay on its side shortly before they took off and thought to herself, "He wasn't kidding when he said to put my energy underneath me". She decided to try again.
Gohan stopped midair and looked down at Videl. He thought, "She isn't giving up is she."
KRO also stops and looks at Videl and says, "She is determined isn't she."
Gohan responds, "Yeah she is."
Gohan decides to land and walk over to Videl.
KRO lands and follows him.
Not long after Gohan got to Videl, she was beginning to hover in the air.
Gohan says excitedly "You're doing it Videl!"
Videl retorts, "I'm trying to concentrate Gohan."
Gohan quickly says "Oops sorry."
Videl hovers for a little bit more before landing. She says, "That takes a lot out of me."
KRO remarks, "It will at first. Honestly I think you picked it up faster than I did."
Videl asks, "How many tries did it take you to learn how to fly?"
KRO scratches his head "I lost count actually I wasn't counting."
Gohan replies, "It took him about five tries just to hover. How did you figure it out so fast?"
Videl responds, "I noticed that the grass would lie on its side when you took off from the ground."
Gohan replies "That is one way to think about it. So do you think you're ready to try again?"
Videl takes a deep breath and responds, "Yeah I'm ready."
Gohan says, "I want you to follow me if you can."
Videl gives a quick nod.
Gohan hovers just above the ground.
Videl follows by hovering above the ground.
Gohan lifts himself higher into the air.
Videl shakily gets herself higher.
Gohan holds position to make sure she has it.
Videl nods to let him know she was good.
Gohan says, "These might be a little tricky but they are the basic movements in the air."
Videl nods again.
As they were going through the movements, Goku comes walking up.
He asks KRO "How is she doing?"
KRO responds, "She is doing better than me when you and Gohan were teaching me."
Goku asks "How so?"
KRO replies, "She got to hovering after two tries."
Goku exclaims, "That is good!"
KRO asks, "Why are you here Goku?"
Goku responds, "Oh I'm here to tell Gohan and Videl that lunch was ready."
KRO exclaims, "Its lunch time already I should have been home!"
KRO flies up to Gohan and says "Hey your dad is here he said it was lunch time and I need to get home I'll notify you when Bulma is there I'll use the watch."
Gohan responds "Okay. I don't think the watch should be used like that."
KRO was gone before he got the last part out.
Gohan turns to Videl "Hey ready to eat?"
They land and walk over to where Goku was waiting.
Goku asks Videl "So did you work up an appetite?"
Videl responds "A good one for me but probably nothing compared to how much you or Gohan could eat."
Goku asks, "So do you think you could fly to the house it's less than one kilometer."
Videl replies, "I can try."
Gohan reassures her "There is nothing to worry about we'll be right there with you."
Videl remarks, "Earlier you were more or less flying on your stomach how would I do that?"
Gohan lifts up into the air and does a few "tricks" he says "You put your energy both under you which is the part facing downward and behind you to propel you so if you're on your stomach you put your energy under your stomach and behind your feet. You did it earlier when we were moving back and forth and side to side."
Videl nods her head in understanding and slowly brings herself to a hovering position then slowly brings herself to a horizontal position.
Goku takes to the air on Videl's left while Gohan positioned himself on her right.
Gohan says, "Watch the terrain and raise and lower yourself accordingly."
Videl responds "Right."
They take off.
As they were, flying Videl became more confident and started to fly a little faster so Gohan and Goku picked up more speed as well.
Before long, they were back at the Son's House.
Goku and Gohan land Videl saw how they landed and did the same thing.
ChiChi was setting the last dish on the table outside.
Videl looks at the table and exclaims, "You made all that on your own!"
ChiChi chuckles "I did."
Videl says, "At home in order to make that much food we would have a chef and three cooks."
ChiChi remarks, "This is enough food to feed three Saiyans now take a seat and grab some food before they dig in."
Videl takes a seat and grabs some food.
ChiChi grabbed her plate and gave the guys the signal so they could eat.
Videl comments, "I don't think I could get used to it with how much they eat."
ChiChi tells her "You will with time."
Videl remarks, "Over the summer I wondered why Gohan decided to catch a fish and then waited until everyone got food. I quickly figured out why he waited after I saw how much food he grabbed but I still don't know why the fish."
Gohan swallowed his bite and remarks, "Do you really want to know why?"
Videl responds, "Yes I would like to know why."
Gohan grins "You didn't buy enough food and I knew you wouldn't that was why I tried to give you money for the store."
Videl remarks, "Well if you had been honest with me from the start I probably would have bought more food."
Gohan countered, "I wasn't sure if I could trust you guys because I had just met you."
Videl countered back "You were quick to trust KRO."
Gohan chuckles "Actually he called me out about not being fully human."
Videl was suddenly lost "What are you talking about?"
Gohan answers, "You know that he can see people's Auras."
Videl responds "Yeah what about it?"
Gohan replies, "Well he caught me alone and asked me about it and told me that my aura looked different from someone that was human."
Videl replies, "I see so that was what you two were talking about in the truck?"
Gohan responds, "That's right."
Videl comments, "In turn KRO was interested in you and sought you out after the bonfire."
Gohan smile "Correct again."
Videl tells him "KRO said something about being able to sense energy did he learn that from you? Because he never said anything about it until after we started to learn about your powers."
Gohan chuckles "Actually he has always been able to sense energy I helped him hone it better, I'm surprised he kept it a secret from you guys that long."
Videl says, "That was a delicious meal ChiChi."
She gets up and stretches a bit.
Gohan and Goku get up.
Goku says, "Nothing beats your cooking ChiChi."
Gohan says, "That was a good meal mom."
Goten gets up, hugs ChiChi, and says "Thanks Mom."
Videl asks "Do you need any help bring in stuff?"
ChiChi smiles "No I got it you're a guest."
Videl says "Okay then."
Gohan walks over to Videl and gestures for her to come with him.
Reluctantly she goes with him.
Videl remarks, "I feel bad about not helping."
Gohan responds "Don't worry about it. Come on lets work on your speed."
Goku and Goten walk up. Goku asks, "Can we join in."
Gohan says, "We can play tag but you can't fly to fast because we are working on Videl's speed."
Goten jumps up and down "Sounds like fun can I be it?"
Gohan replies, "Yeah you can start us out with you being it." As a second thought, "Energy blasts are not allowed in this game."
Videl retorts, "You've played with energy blasts?"
Gohan responds, "It is to work on dodging and blocking energy blast."
Videl shakes her head in disbelief.
Goku and Goten head back to the lake.
Gohan and Videl follow them.
Once they got there, Goku tells them "I just got through telling Goten not to go after Videl first and to go for either me or you, Gohan."
Gohan responds, "Okay just so Videl gets the idea of how we play tag in mind."
Videl defends herself "I kind of get it instead of it being on the ground it is in the air. I also figured you're not just working on my speed but my maneuverability as well."
Goku grins, "Can't get anything by you can we?"
Videl responds "Not always. Come on let's get started."
They all rise higher in the air Goten was in the middle he closed his eyes and turned around a couple times. Then he stops, opens his eyes and charges after Videl.
Videl rises higher in the air Goten makes chase he started to close in on Videl she picks up more speed and flies passed Goku. Goten starts chasing after Goku.
Goku stopped turned around and as Goten was closing in Goku did a little wave and used his Instant Transmission. Goku popped up beside Gohan.
Goten shouted "Dad that's cheating."
Gohan says, "I didn't say it wasn't allowed."
Goten whines "It should be."
Gohan states, "You'll never know when you'll come across a villain that is faster than you." He whispers to Goku "Probably should keep it down to a minimum dad, because it is unfair to us that you can disappear in an instant."
Goku smiles "Okay Gohan."
Gohan says, "Let's get this game going again."
Goten looks to see who is closer and sees that Videl is the closest. He chases after her Videl tries to fly away but Goten tags her ankle shouting, "Tag Videl's it."
Videl turns around and chases after Goten, Goten flies toward Gohan and Goku. Goten quickly changes direction and flies upward. Videl was still charging forward Goku and Gohan spit in different directions Goku went to the right and Gohan went to the left. Videl started to go after Gohan. Gohan started to fly upward and Videl still followed after Gohan go to a certain height he 'stood' there and waited for Videl to catch up as soon as she was in tagging range Gohan flipped backwards into a nosedive.
Videl growled out of frustration. She follows suit. Gohan waited for her down by the ground.
Once Videl got to the ground, she landed and took a seat.
Gohan asks, "Are you okay?"
Videl wipes her forehead with her glove "Yeah just a little winded. Help me up please." She sticks her hand out to be helped up.
Gohan helps her up to her feet.
Videl grins, "Now you're it."
Gohan laughs "Yep you got me aren't you deceptive."
Videl grins "Maybe just a little bit."
Gohan made sure Videl was okay and then he took off.
Gohan went after Goku, Goku went high in the air Gohan chased after him and was closing in. Goku fell into a spiraling nosedive Gohan also went into a nosedive but used his energy to move himself faster.
As they neared the ground, Gohan pulled his legs under him.
They were less than fifty feet from the ground when Goku uses his Instant Transmission Gohan lands on the ground leaving a crater.
Videl shouts, "Are you alright Gohan?"
Goku shows up behind Videl.
Goku says, "He should be fine but you might want to move."
Videl says questionably "Move?"
Goku shouts "Move now!"
Videl moves to the side several steps.
Gohan came flying out of the dust and tackles Goku.
Gohan gets up and announces, "Dad's it."
Videl asks, "How did you know he was behind me?"
Gohan responds, "I sensed his energy after he used the Instant Transmission Goten and I have to sense him out to find out where he is because it could take too long to use our eyes."
Videl says, "Seems like being able to sense someone's energy comes in handy during a fight."
Gohan agrees, "It can be."
Videl asks, "Could you teach me sometime?"
Gohan responds, "I was planning on it."
Goku grins, "Let's get back to playing."
Gohan and Videl take to the air to put as much space between them and Goku. Goku looks to see who was closest and sees Goten distracted by a butterfly. Goku grins and goes after Goten.
Gohan sees this and warns Goten "Watch out Goten Dad's on your tail!"
Goten looks around and sees his dad after him and he takes off. Goku follows him. Goten keeps looking behind him to make sure Goku was still there. Then Goku used his Instant Transmission. Goten stops in midair, looks around Goten floated backwards, and ran right into Goku.
Goku places his hands on Goten's shoulders and said "Tag you're it Goten."
Gohan's watch beeps followed by Videl's watch beeping.
They look at their watches and sure enough, KRO activated his watch.
Gohan says, "Hey dad we need to get going KRO is getting the results of his and his dad's tests."
Goku responds, "Okay you and Videl head over, your mom and I will be over later with Goten." He turns to Goten "Come on Goten."
Goten runs over and Goku picks him up bids farewell then uses Instant Transmission back home.
Gohan pulls his truck capsule out and sets it off.
Videl asks "Why are we taking the truck? Wouldn't flying be faster?"
Gohan says, "Flying would be faster but I figure you would need a break." He opened the door to the passenger side for Videl.
Videl walks over to the open door and asks, "Well how far is KRO's place." She climbs in.
Gohan closes the door walks around and gets in on the driver's side he replies "It's just under eight miles north from the lake seven miles from the house you would have passed by it on the way from Satan City." He starts the engine and heads out.
Videl remarks, "I guess I'm not ready for long distance."
Gohan responds "It not that you're not ready for long distance it's because you're not confident enough to fly long distance. When Dad and I were teaching KRO for his long distance he practiced flying from his place to my place, but since you live in the city we need to figure out a way for you to practice your long distance."
Videl says "I live about five miles from the school, I could fly to school every day since I figure that is how you and KRO come to school."
Gohan chuckles "Yeah that is how I've been getting to school except on that day you were accusing me of being the Super Soldier I really did over sleep that day and Dad brought me to school using his Instant Transmission."
Videl asks, "Have you ever thought about asking your dad to teach you the Instant Transmission?"
Gohan stop and thinks then replies, "No I haven't besides I think it would be awfully difficult to learn."
Videl responds, "I see."
They ride in silence for a little while.
Gohan asks, "Are you okay?"
Videl looks at him kind of confused and answers "Yeah I'm okay. Why do you ask?"
Gohan sighs "Well when I asked 'Are you okay' I meant are you okay with everything I mean you didn't ask to be my life partner and I want expecting to find my life partner right off the bat I thought it would take a few times."
Videl thinks for a moment and replies "I'm okay with everything I wasn't expecting anything to be normal with you because quite frankly you're anything but normal and that is what I love about you. Do you regret pulling me into your world?"
Gohan chuckles "You more or less stormed the doors and let yourself in but no I don't regret letting you into my world I just wasn't expecting this. I mean I care for you more than I can put into words I love everything about you, I love you."
Videl smiles "I Love you to."
Gohan stops the truck and looks at her "What did you say?"
Videl says, "You said 'I love you' and I replied back with 'I love you to'."
Gohan looks are her confused "I didn't even realize I said, 'I love you'."
Gohan resumes driving.
Gohan says, "Even though I didn't realize I said 'I love you' I did mean it."
Videl smiles "I know not sure how I know but I know."
Gohan chuckles "That is the bond we share it not only helps us know where the other is but we also know the others feelings."
Videl looks at him "I see."
Gohan continues, "The bond becomes stronger the longer we are together. With mom and dad, dad knows if mom is in danger or not dad knew something was not right when Garlic Jr.'s henchmen attacked mom and Grandpa looking for the Dragonball."
Videl asks, "Wasn't your dad there?"
Gohan shakes his head "No he was out fishing."
Videl remarks, "Speaking of fishing does your dad fish the same way you do?"
Gohan responds, "He does that is where I learned it though there was one time we fished using fishing rods."
Videl asks, "When was this?"
Gohan replies "Oh this was during the days counting down to the Cell Games." "KRO's camp is just ahead."
Videl looks out the windshield and remarks "They're capsule homes."
Gohan says "When KRO told me camp I was expecting tents. But the largest Capsule home is KRO's family's home."
They pull up to the Capsule house, Gohan turns the engine off and they climb out.
They approached the door and was about to ring to doorbell when KRO opened the door.
KRO says "You're here! Ah but first…" he hold his wrist up "Can you please deactivate it, it is letting off a high pitch pinging sound and it is driving me nuts!"
Gohan crosses his arms "I don't know if I should maybe I'll wait awhile."
Hiamovi shouts across the room "Gohan will you turn off that blasted watch?"
Gohan says "Saiyaman." "I didn't realize it bothered you as well Hiamovi I was having a little too much fun and KRO's expense."
Hiamovi comes to the door "Clearly."
Videl hold her hand out "Hi I'm Videl I didn't get a chance to introduce myself at Bulma's party."
Hiamovi takes her hand and shakes it "I figured out who you were with how close you stuck to Gohan."
Videl gives a quizzical look "You knew?"
Hiamovi replies, "My dear, KRO tells us everything that goes on in your group."
Gohan asks "Is Bulma here?"
Hiamovi and KRO let them in.
Hiamovi closes the door "We got off the phone with her not long ago."
Tala walks in from the kitchen and says "Hey Gohan when did you get here?"
Gohan says, "Just now KRO summoned me with our new locater devices, did the pinging bother you?"
Tala replies, "I heard it, it just doesn't bother me as much as it bothers Hiamovi and KRO."
Gohan nods in understanding.
Tala approaches Videl "You must be Videl I'm Tala, KRO's mother."
Videl holds her hand out to shake "Hello, Yeah I'm Videl."
Tala shakes her hand then let's go she says "I think I have something that might fit you come with me."
Videl looks at Gohan and shrugs her shoulders.
Gohan also shrugs his shoulders.
After they were out of sight, Gohan asks, "What just happened?"
Hiamovi laughs, "Your parents told us that they believed Videl to be your life partner so Tala took it upon herself to give Videl a gift, I have a gift for you as well."
Gohan remarks, "That isn't necessary besides what about KRO when he finds his partner?"
Hiamovi responds, "Your parents also said it wasn't necessary but Tala and I insisted. We will have gifts for KRO and his mate when he finds her. This should provide inspiration to find said mate KRO."
KRO kicks at the floor "I don't really have any interest in any of the females in our group besides Erasa is now with Sharpener that only leaves Kat and Angela. I thought I could have a shot with Kat that is until I found out she was part Cat Demon, canines and felines don't mix well. Besides she told us that she was immortal I'd hate to get with her knowing that she would out live me."
Hiamovi pulls out a hand made longbow with a quiver of arrows he says "Here we go the perfect hunting bow, the bow is made too taut for me to pull so I figure with your strength you should be able to pull it." he hands the bow to him.
Gohan takes the bow, observes it, and tests it out.
Hiamovi checked his hand placement and gave him the okay.
(Meanwhile with Videl and Tala)
Tala guides Videl to a clothing trunk and says, "Take a seat."
Videl sits on the trunk and asks, "Why do you want to give me something?"
Tala replies "Gohan's parents believe you're his life partner. So do you feel it your guys bond?"
Videl pauses for a moment and replies "I feel it I can tell that Gohan is just as confused as I am."
Tala says "That is good Hiamovi and I have something similar but we refer to each other as mates. The concept is still very much the same. Ah here we go this should fit you."
She pulled out a white deerskin dress ornamented with shells and turquoise beads.
Tala expresses "Here try it on. I'll step out of the room."
Tala hands her the dress and steps out of the room.
Videl looks at the dress and figures it was just a slip on dress. Therefore, she undresses and pulls the dress on. After she got the dress on it came down to her knees, she noticed that it was a bit snug. She walked around the room and found she had no trouble walking she even decided to hover a little bit and had no trouble there. She puts her feet back on the floor. She came across a wall mirror and decided to check herself out. The first thing she noticed is that is it made her chest more noticeable and her curves more defined.
Tala knocks at the door.
Videl responds, "Come in."
Tala walked in saw her and exclaims "It fits you perfectly! Here take those shoes off."
Tala went searching through the closet until she found a pair of white knee high moccasin boots.
Tala says, "Here try these on."
Videl takes off her shoes and tries on the boots.
Videl was surprised that they fit and that they breathed.
Tala suggests, "How about you go show Gohan."
Videl blushes "I couldn't I feel almost naked in this. It is too different from what I normally wear."
Tala states, "I could have given you a sexy outfit?"
Videl blushes ten times redder and responds "NO! Thank you this outfit is plenty it's just I don't normally wear dresses the closest thing to a skirt I'll wear is a skort."
Tala says, "Sometimes you have to dress up for them."
Videl asks, "I don't have to stay out long do I?"
Tala reassures her "Just long enough for him to get a good look at you."
Videl takes a deep breath and says, "Okay I'm ready."
Tala opens the door. Then they walk out.
(With Gohan)
Gohan was still testing the bow when he sensed Videl come out of the backroom and looked in that direction.
Videl came around the corner and saw that Gohan was looking at her and ducked back behind the corner.
Gohan sets the bow down and gets up.
He walks over to where she was hiding and says "It just me Videl." and places his hands on her shoulders.
Videl turns around and begins to find her courage "It's not that I just don't normally wear dresses." She slowly turns around.
Gohan watches as she turns around and remarks, "You look beautiful Videl."
Videl asks, "You really think so?"
Gohan responds, "I know so"
Goku, ChiChi, and Goten show up.
Goten goes out the door to go play with the camp children.
Gohan remarks to Videl "You've got to show mom and dad."
Videl shakes her head 'no' in objection.
Gohan asks "Please for me?" he kisses her on the cheek. Then he looks at her as if pleading.
Videl looks into his eyes and sighs "Alright I'll show them."
Gohan gets behind her and gives her a gentle nudge.
Videl walks out glancing back at Gohan.
Gohan smiles and nods for her to go on.
Videl gathers up her courage and hails Goku and ChiChi "Hey."
Goku and ChiChi look in Videl's direction.
Chichi remarks, "You look lovely."
Goku says, "You do look nice Videl."
Videl blushes and asks Gohan "Can I go get changed back into my clothes?"
Gohan laughs "Yeah you can go change."
Videl gives him a hug and then leaves back for the backroom.
ChiChi asks, "Why was she in such a hurry to change?"
Gohan responds, "She doesn't normally wear dresses."
ChiChi surmises, "You know I wouldn't be surprised if she felt naked in that dress with how tight forming it is."
(With Videl)
Videl closed the door and thought to herself "I can finally take this dress off." She stopped and then realized something "It was nice to be looked upon for something else other than fighting." She takes the dress off and folds it up neatly. She then takes off the boots and lays them over the dress. She quickly puts on her shirt and capris then pulls on her boots then finally pulls her gloves back on.
There was a knock on the door.
Videl responds, "Come in."
Tala walks in and says, "I have a storage capsule you can put the dress in."
Videl nods and responds "Okay."
Tal rummages around in a drawer and pulls out a capsule.
Tala clicks the capsule and tosses it on the floor.
A small storage box appeared.
Tala picks up the box and says "You can put the dress in this." She opens the box.
Videl picks up the dress and boots and places them in the box.
Tala places the lid back on and presses the button to return it to the capsule form.
Once it became a capsule Tala handed it to Videl.
Videl pockets the capsule and responds "Thank you."
They turn to head out the door.
(With Gohan)
Goku asks, "What did you get Gohan?"
Gohan picks up the longbow and Quiver of arrows and responds, "This is what Hiamovi gave me he says it drawn to taut for him to pull and figured I would be able to pull it." He hands it Goku.
Goku holds the bow and gently tugs on the string.
Gohan says, "Hiamovi also referred to it as the perfect hunting bow."
Goku hands the bow back and responds, "The most we hunt for is fish."
ChiChi says, "Tala has been teaching me how to skin deer and other animals."
Gohan replies, "I would have to get some good practice before I would be any good for hunting."
Gohan looks again in the direction of the backroom and sees Videl come out and head to the door. He sets his bow down and follows her.
Videl got into her pocket, pulled out her jet copter capsule, and sets it off.
Gohan came up behind her and asked "What going on?"
Videl shows him the storage capsule climbs in her jet copter and says, "I'm putting the dress in my jet copter so I won't forget it."
She pushes the button to revert it back into its capsule.
Once it was in its capsule, she put it back into her pocket.
Gohan walks up to her and embraces her.
Shortly after a small two passenger jet plane lands beside Gohan's truck.
Videl and Gohan shade their eyes to be able to see who it was.
After the door opens, they found out it was Bulma.
Bulma calls out "Hey you two can you help me with these papers?"
Gohan and Videl respond "Sure."
They walk over and Bulma hands them each a stack of folders and papers.
Gohan asks "Is all this on them?"
Bulma replies, "It is."
Bulma walks up to the door and rings the doorbell.
Hiamovi answers the door "Hello Bulma come in."
Bulma walks in and says, "I found me a couple helpers outside."
Gohan rolls his eyes and sets the paperwork down on the table.
Videl sets her pile down on the table beside Gohan's pile.
Bulma asks, "Do you have something to drink?"
Tala says, "I have tea."
Bulma says, "I'll take that."
Tala pours Bulma some tea and hands it to her.
Bulma takes a sip and exclaims "Wow! That is different. What kind is it?"
Tala says "It's Dandelion Tea. It's the only tea Hiamovi will drink and it's homemade."
Bulma looks at her glass and responds, "Well I've tried stranger when my mom was dieting."
ChiChi asks "How is your mom doing? I didn't get a chance to talk to her yesterday."
Bulma responds "She is fine. Did Gohan reclaim Videl? Vegeta was telling me about it."
Gohan replies, "Yeah I reclaimed her."
Hiamovi clears his throat and asks, "What are the results of the tests?"
Bulma had a look like she wasn't sure what he was talking about and asks "Results?" then she remembered "Oh the results yeah." She took a drink of her tea and she searched though the papers. She pulls out a few papers and says, "I found some very compelling data it seems with each new generation the gene that allows you to transform becomes more prominent, but with each new generation abilities get lost."
Hiamovi asks, "What do you mean?"
Bulma answers, "You Hiamovi have the ability to use energy naturally. KRO on the other hand had to learn from someone else to use energy. The markers in KRO's DNA for energy usage were not natural, yours were. I think that is why you are able to reflect an energy blast."
KRO asks "What about me seeing people's auras?"
Bulma answers "That also showed up it appears as a recessive gene in your dad but as a dominate gene in you that is why you see the auras and your dad doesn't. Now as far as the transformations go the sequence of the transformation will vary from person to person because I had noticed fluctuations of the order you both transform."
Hiamovi presses "But the question is, are we alien like your spouse says we are?"
Bulma sighs, "There was evidence of non-human DNA, but with you and KRO so far removed from the original parent that your DNA was mostly human, like ninety percent human. Therefore, you guys are for the most part are human. I'd say within the next generation if not the one after that the alien DNA will be for lack of better terms will be 'bred out'."
KRO comments, "Well it was a nice thought, to be part alien."
Bulma tries to cheer him up "Don't be so down on yourself there is a chance that there could be a whole planet of Sirus' and maybe if you ask nicely Goku could find out where they are. However, you are also not alone in this. Goku and Vegeta are the only Sayians left the same thing will eventually happen to that race."
KRO looks at her in shock, as if he didn't think about that at all. He had looked at Goku and Gohan and thought about how privileged he was to meet someone that was a full-blooded alien and his best friend was half alien it never occurred to him that it would not last.
Tap, tap, tap…
He felt someone tapping on his shoulder, it snapped him out of his stupor he looks around to see who was tapping him, and it was Goku.
Goku asks, "You okay KRO?"
KRO nods, "Yeah, I guess you could say I had a life shock."
Goku questions, "A life shock huh?"
KRO nods again, "It hit me like a ton of bricks that your race will someday come to an end."
Goku replies, "The only person that knows that the most is Vegeta and between you and me I think that is why he is angry so much. The idea now is to live in the here and now don't worry about the future it will happen when it happens."
KRO cheers up "I should consider myself fortunate that I got to meet the last remaining Sayians when I did."
Bulma takes a sip of her tea and says, "That's the spirit kiddo, just need to think positive."
Videl asks, "What is the purpose of the tests."
Bulma blushes "Actually the tests I have run on KRO and his father as well as everyone in our group was in a way self-serving. I wanted to know the effects of energy usage on the body from a scientific point of view."
Videl asks cautiously "When you say everyone does that include Gohan?"
Gohan says "Yeah I volunteered because I was also curious about how energy affected the body."
Bulma says "One thing I've noticed is that with Saiyans full blooded or not the markers for energy usage show up naturally because the Saiyan genes are dominate. Well that shows in the Half Saiyans. What I'm curious about is how the genes will show themselves when you and Gohan get married and have kids."
Videl asks, "What do you mean?"
Bulma takes a drink of her tea and tells her "What children you have will be quarter Saiyan."
Videl realized what KRO meant by 'life shock' but she didn't show that she was shocked she replies "I see."
KRO comes over to Bulma with his watch and says "Bulma can you do something about the pinging sound it makes when it's activated."
Bulma asks, "It makes a pinging sound?" she activates it by saying "Saiyaman" she hears the pinging sound and then says "Blue Haired Genius". She pulls a handy pack of small screwdrivers out removes the back and gets to work. She says "It's not supposed to do that. I have to ask, when was it activated."
KRO admits, "I used it to let Gohan know to come over after father got off the phone with you."
Bulma tells him "You know the watch is not to be used like that only for emergencies."
Gohan says, "I tried to tell him that before he flew off but he was gone before I could get it out."
Bulma closes up the watch flips it over and says "Saiyaman" listened then said "Blue Haired Genius". Then she handed the watch to KRO "There no pinging." She turned to Videl "Let me check your watch to make sure it doesn't ping."
Videl takes off her watch and hands it to Bulma.
Bulma takes it and activates it then listens to it and finds there is no pinging she then deactivates it. She hands the watch back to Videl. She asks Gohan "Is your watch fine?"
Gohan looks at his watch and says "It beeps when a watch is activated and shows up on the screen just fine."
Bulma responds "That's good." She takes a sip of her tea.
KRO growls in agitation and says "Gohan can you please recant the training regimen you and Goku set up for me?"
Gohan responds "Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask you how you were doing with it?"
Videl asks, "What are you two talking about?"
Gohan responds "KRO has a good sense of smell and he has sniffed me out instead of sensed my energy and I was offended by it."
Videl remarks, "So you set up a training regimen to what?"
KRO responds, "To use my nose in a productive manor."
Gohan asks, "What is your best time?"
KRO replies "An hour and a half while still running into things."
Videl asks, "Why were you running into things?"
KRO responds, "I was blindfolded."
Videl exclaims "Blindfolded! Now I really want to know the circumstances of this training regimen."
KRO sighs, "The object of the task was to find an object with only my hearing and sense of smell to aide me, and I had to do it in forty-five minutes."
Videl turns to Gohan "Something like that seems impossible why come up with something like that when it obviously couldn't be done. Change it up so to where it can actually be done."
Gohan looks into her eyes and sigh "Alright. Besides I came up with it when I was mad at him."
Goku suggests, "We could have the blindfold removed."
Hiamovi adds in "Then we drop the time limit down to thirty minutes."
KRO remarks, "I can do that."
Gohan says "But on occasion do some sparring while being blindfolded that way you can use both sense of smell and energy sensing."
KRO pauses and then says, "I think I can do that."
Videl remarks, "I knew you would figure out something."
Bulma looks at her watch "I really should get going these are your copies of the results my copies are at home." She finishes her tea. She then says "Oh Gohan can I talk with you in private?"
Gohan gives a look and replies "Okay?"
Gohan follows her out the door.
Once the door was shut, Bulma says, "If for some reason you are concerned about the location of one of your friends you can activate the watch and locate where they are."
Gohan asks, "How would I do that?"
Bulma responds, "Did you notice that each watch and bracelet was a different color except yours and Videl's watch?"
Gohan replies, "I did notice that."
Bulma says, "You activate the feature by saying 'track watch/bracelet…'and the color."
Gohan nods in understanding.
The door opens up revealing Videl.
Videl says, "Hey Gohan your parents said were going to eat supper here with KRO's family."
Gohan responds, "Okay that sounds great."
They wave bye to Bulma and she takes off.
Videl grabs Gohan's hand and says "Come on I want to practice flying some more."
Gohan responds, "We should let them know that is what we are planning to do."
They walk back in and Gohan grabs the bow and quiver of arrows.
Videl notifies the adults "Were going outside so I can practice flying some more."
Goku replies, "I'll come get you when supper is ready."
KRO shouts "Wait I'll come with you."
Gohan sighs "Alright."
The teens walk out the door to go outside.
KRO asks, "What are we going to do?"
Gohan replies "First I'm putting the bow and arrows in the truck. Then we are accompanying Videl as she practices her flying."
KRO give a deadpan look "Oh okay I thought you would also do other things besides flying."
Gohan looks at him questioning "Like what?"
KRO shrugs "Like show her how to do energy blasts or sense energy."
Gohan responds, "I was planning on doing that but only after she's got flying down, one thing at a time."
Videl chimes in "You could teach me how to sense energy now."
Gohan says, "That would be best if we had dad and Goten along with KRO. Because if it was just KRO and I you would be able to locate where I was because of the bond and you would be… wait it probably would be best to start you out sensing for one person."
They take to the air and begin to fly away from the camp.
Goten quickly catches up and asks, "Where are you going Gohan?"
Gohan replies, "We're going with Videl so she can practice flying for a while."
Goten looks down "Oh okay. Say, Gohan I'm getting hungry when are we leaving?"
Gohan responds, "We're eating supper here with KRO and his family."
Goten look back up hopeful "Okay Gohan."
Goten flies off to go play with the kids some more.
The teens fly off to a grassy area that wasn't far from the camp.
Gohan asks "Videl do you know how to swim?"
Videl responds "Yeah I know how to swim Daddy made sure I learned how to swim. Why?"
Gohan laughs, "I just wanted to tell you that if you didn't you would be able to by using your energy to propel yourself through the water."
Videl asks as she does a flip thru the air "Why, is that how you swim?"
Gohan retorts "No! Well not always only when I need to catch a fish that is a little faster than expected, other than that I'll swim like everyone else."
KRO asks, "Do you have a swimsuit Videl?"
Gohan growls, "What are you getting at KRO?"
KRO gets defensive "Nothing! I just wanted to know if she owned a swimsuit."
Videl responds, "I don't have one I've needed to get one but I refuse to get one with Erasa she'll make me get a two piece."
Gohan sympathizes "I don't care what kind of swimsuit you wear. Just don't do what dad does."
Videl asks, "Do I really want to know?"
Gohan responds "Not really."
KRO asks, "What does Goku do?"
Gohan responds, "He swims in the nude."
Videl reacts "Yep I didn't want to know that."
KRO reacts differently "I didn't want that image in my head, ack!"
Videl does a few flips and twirls around in the air she asks, "So what is the plan after supper Gohan?"
Gohan reclines back as he floats in the air "I was going to make sure you got home okay."
Videl flies up to him and kisses him on the cheek "You don't need to do that I'll be fine on my own."
Gohan turns towards her "I know but it will keep me from worrying about you. You've been using your energy all day today and you're going to be exhausted by the end of the day."
KRO shouts, "Will you guys get a room!"
Gohan turns around, 'stands up', and says "You're the one that wanted to come with us. Besides, we are just talking not making out. I wouldn't make out with Videl in front of you anyways."
KRO remarks "I noticed that in public you only kiss her on the cheek or forehead. When I did that sneak attack this morning that was the first time I've seen you guys actually kiss come to think of it."
Gohan says, "If I had known you were coming over you wouldn't have saw that kiss."
KRO asks, "Why is that?"
Gohan asks, "Do you ever see my parents kiss outside of on the cheek or on the forehead?"
KRO responds, "No, I have not, now that you say something. What does that have to do with you?"
Videl flies up to him and remarks "He's following his parents lead."
KRO nods "I see."
Videl goes back to flying around.
Gohan gets to thinking about something more particularly about the situation with Brock.
Videl senses that he was thinking about something and flew over to him she asked, "What's wrong Gohan?"
Gohan sighs, "I was thinking about the situation with Brock I know he is going to reveal me as the Super Soldier but I don't know how."
KRO asks "What about Brock?"
Videl responds, "We're sure Brock is going to reveal Gohan tomorrow as the Super Soldier."
KRO boasts "I wouldn't worry about him you scared him pretty bad."
Gohan remarks "No he's had two days to come up with something."
KRO asks "What makes you sure he will reveal you as the Super Soldier?"
Gohan look at him thinking KRO has to be joking and says, "I attacked him while being Super Saiyan and at the second level no doubt."
KRO gives a look as if he didn't realize that.
Gohan crosses his arms and thinks about it hard.
Videl rubs his back trying to sooth him then thinks of something "How about we beat him to the punch."
Gohan gives her wary look and asks, "What are you talking about?"
Videl reiterates, "We don't let him have the gratification of revealing you."
Gohan asks, "How would we do that?"
Videl asks, "Did you forget? Erasa is the editor of the school newspaper and also works part time for Orange Star Times as a photographer."
Gohan scratches the back of his head "Yeah I did forget that."
Videl pulls out her phone and turns it on. She saw that she have several messages from Erasa, most of which wanting to know if Videl wanted to hang out with her and Sharpner.
Videl jokes, "Maybe we should go on a double date with Erasa and Sharpner."
Gohan responds seriously "Why not. Why do you bring it up?"
Videl answers, "Erasa sent me a text wanting to know if I wanted to hang out with her and Sharpner today. I'm going to send her a text wanting to know if she is up for a phone interview. Is that okay?"
Gohan responds, "That is fine."
As soon as the text was sent, they got a phone call.
Videl answers "Hello." She puts it on speakerphone.
Erasa asks, "Hey you two what's up?"
Videl replies, "We think Brock will try to reveal Gohan as the Super Soldier tomorrow and we want to beat him to the punch."
Erasa remarks "So you decided to give me the story I wanted to get. So how are we going to do it meaning what is the angle of the story?"
Gohan responds, "I'm pretty much being forced to reveal myself."
Erasa comments, "I see. First question as the Super Soldier: Where are you from? Are you from Earth?"
Gohan grins, "I am from Earth I live in the mountains."
Erasa asks, "Where do your magic powers come from?"
Gohan tries to keep from chuckling "They're not magic powers. It is energy it comes from my body."
Erasa asks, "You said you live in the mountains, then why do you defend our city?"
Gohan answers, "Because I'm a student and I have a strong sense of justice."
Erasa chuckles at that and responds "This question is for Videl; Do you think the Super Soldier is bothersome and should go back home?"
Gohan, Videl, and KRO laugh at that one.
Videl answers "I did at first and for a while I did want him to go away but after I found out who he was we started to work together just recently we caught an arsonist."
Erasa comments, "This is off the record do you want anything said about your relationship?"
Gohan and Videl look at each other and nod in agreement
Gohan says "Sure."
Erasa states "Okay back on the record; this question is also for Videl, How did you find out who the Super Soldier was?"
Videl says, "I found out when I got into a relationship with his everyday identity."
Erasa comments "This question is for the Super Soldier; What is your real identity?"
Gohan answers, "My real identity is Son, Gohan. Erasa this is off the record but you should put something to the effect of me changing my hair from blonde to black and removing the facemask and I think you should put in some surprise like you didn't know since we do hang out."
Erasa remarks, "How about something like this? 'The Super Soldier changes his hair from blonde to black and removes his facemask to reveal his face' and something like 'Gohan! I hang out with you here at school I even have some classes with you!' How's that for surprised?"
Gohan grins "Perfect."
Erasa says, "It's completely unethical to rig an interview like this since I knew the truth to start with. Okay I feel like I should have another question for you Gohan." She pauses for a while she thought of a question "Okay I got it this question is for Gohan; Why did you decide to fight crime?"
Gohan laughs, "Like I said I have a strong sense of justice but really started it was a robbery I was on my way home with my father and a friend when we saw it. Videl had not got there so I figured I would help her out. I just didn't realize she would get mad about it."
Erasa asks, "Why did you decide to reveal yourself to Videl as the Super Soldier? Why not keep it a secret and continue to fight crime anyways?"
Gohan responds "I decided to tell Videl because she had been collecting evidence as to whom the Super Soldier was and it was pointing to me she kept hounding me trying to get it out of me. After we entered a relationship, I realized I would have a hard time keeping up the rouse. What didn't help before was that every time we would go out to fight crime after the criminal was apprehended she would start fighting me trying to remove my facemask."
Erasa laughs, "I think that is all the questions I have for the both of you. I think I'll title this 'The Super Soldier Revealed'."
Gohan says, "Okay Erasa, I want to see it before you print it in the paper."
Erasa responds, "Okay I'll do that."
Goku flies up and greets them "Hey who you talking to?"
Videl responds, "Were talking to Erasa."
Goku says "Hello Erasa. How are you?"
Erasa responds "Hello Mr. Son I am doing fine just working on a big story."
Goku asks, "What is it about?"
Erasa responds, "Gohan thinks Brock is going to try to reveal him as the Super Soldier so Gohan and Videl decided to do an interview and reveal himself so Brock wouldn't get the gratification of revealing him."
Goku thinks about it "You could be right in he might reveal you but you could also be wrong just be prepared for the after math of either result. Well would you mind letting them go Erasa it's time to eat."
Erasa says "It's time to eat here as well it was nice talking with you Mr. Son and Gohan, Videl, and KRO I'll see you at school. Bye."
Videl, Gohan, KRO, and Goku all say "Bye."
Videl ends the call and pockets her phone.
Gohan asks, "About how long have we been hovering here?"
Videl looks at her watch and says "About two hours why?"
Gohan kisses her on the cheek "You've been hovering for two hours building up stamina. On top of that you were doing it while thinking about other things."
Goku says "Come on lets go eat."
Goku and the teens all fly back.
They walk in and take a seat.
Tala says, "Grab a plate and grab some food before the guys do."
Videl grabs some food and starts eating. She watches as the guys grab food and comments "KRO I don't think I've ever seen you eat that much food."
KRO laughs "This how much I eat here at home in public I'm more reserved, But the day after a fullmoon Father and I can eat as much as Goku and Gohan."
Videl asks, "Why is that?"
Hiamovi responds, "Our transformations take a lot of our energy. So the following day we have to consume more food in order to replace it."
Videl takes a drink and replies, "I see."
The group eats in silence.
Goku says, "Gohan is planning to reveal himself as the Super Soldier."
Hiamovi, ChiChi, and Tala shout "What? Why?"
Gohan swallows his bite "I think Brock will reveal me as the Super Soldier and I want to beat him to the punch so he wouldn't have the gratification of doing it himself."
Hiamovi asks, "How were you planning on doing this?"
Gohan responds, "Videl and I did a phone interview with Erasa, because she is the editor of the school newspaper."
Hiamovi gives him a concerned look "Have you considered that he could just be making you sweat it out and that he could be planning nothing, since you know that he knows that you're the Super Soldier?"
Gohan replies, "I didn't think of that." He turns to Videl "Can you send a text to Erasa saying not to publish it until we have gotten a feel for the air at school and heard some of the rumors?"
Videl pulls out her phone and sends Erasa the message.
Erasa responded.
Videl says, "Erasa says okay she can do that."
Gohan responds "Great."
KRO asks "What are we going to do now? Surely we will be hearing about how the Super Soldier attacked a student because I did see some on lookers during that scuffle."
Gohan reiterates, "We're going to wait it out, like a bad storm."
KRO grumbles, "I hate waiting."
Goku asks, "During the interview was anything majorly revealed besides your identity?"
Gohan responds "There was a question about where my 'magic powers' come from and I corrected her by saying that it was energy and it came from my body. There was also a question wanting to know if I'm from Earth and I replied that I was."
Goku remarks, "Eh it could be worse."
Videl sends Erasa a text asking her something.
Erasa sent her reply.
Videl says, "I just asked Erasa if she had deliberately left out asking about the transformation and she had replied that she left it out on purpose figuring Gohan wouldn't permit something like that being revealed."
Videl gets a text. She looks at it and gasps.
Gohan asks "What?"
Videl responds "Erasa told me that she meant to tell us earlier that while she was out with Sharpner in the city they heard rumors that Super Soldier could be a student. Maybe you shouldn't have told the Chief who you were."
Gohan replies, "I think it has to do with people seeing me fly and me tackling Brock at Super Saiyan Two."
Videl gets up, takes her plate to the kitchen, and says, "That was a good meal."
Tala responds, "Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it."
Videl asks, "Do you need any help with dishes?"
Tala gets up and replies, "Between ChiChi and I we should get it but thanks for asking."
Videl remarks, "I just feel bad to not help out."
ChiChi also gets up and says, "Its high volume work. Are you sure?"
Videl responds, "I don't mind."
The males all get up from the table.
Hiamovi gives Tala a kiss and Goku gives ChiChi a kiss on the cheek
Gohan also gives Videl a kiss on the cheek and asks, "Are you sure about helping out you don't have to."
Videl responds, "I'm sure about helping."
Gohan nods in understanding. He turns to Hiamovi "Do you have anything I can aim at to practice the bow and arrow?"
Hiamovi replies, "I have a couple of deer targets you can practice with."
Gohan responds "Okay."
The guys walk outside, Hiamovi gathers up the deer and carries them two hundred yards away from the camp.
Gohan gets into his truck and pulls out the longbow and quiver of arrows. Then he flies over to where Hiamovi is with the targets.
He lands and remarks, "When you said deer I was not expecting them to actually look like deer."
Hiamovi responds, "Of course they would look like real deer I made them myself using deerskin and wood."
Gohan straps the quiver on with the quiver on his back and the strap going across his chest. He pulls an arrow out of the quiver and sets it in the bow.
Hiamovi jogs over, checks his placement, and gave permission to proceed.
Hiamovi looked in the direction of the targets and shouts "Okhmhaka Dakotah! Move this instant!"
KRO got out of his daze and took to the air to get out of the way.
Gohan fired the arrow and it the deer just outside of the marked target range.
Hiamovi tells Gohan "Not bad for a first shot I wouldn't have been surprise if you would have hit it dead center."
Gohan asks, "What do you mean?"
Hiamovi responds, "You have to aim when you use an energy attack don't you."
Gohan looks at him confused "Yeah but this is different."
Hiamovi smiles "No it isn't make the bow and arrow an extension of yourself."
Gohan sees what he is saying and responds, "I think I get it now."
Gohan pulls out another arrow, sets it in the bow, pulls it back, takes aim, and lets it fly. The arrow hits dead center.
KRO lands beside them.
Hiamovi turns to him "What were you thinking son? Standing in firing range you could have been severely injured."
KRO looks off in the distance "I was just thinking about stuff."
Hiamovi chastises, "Well don't be doing it in firing range."
(With Videl, Tala, and ChiChi)
They were working on dishes when ChiChi asks Videl "What do you think of Gohan?"
Videl came out of her daze and replies "What I think of Gohan well I noticed that he is generous, kind, and helpful but that isn't what you're looking for. Huh what do I think of Gohan? Well he's always there when I need him and when I thought I didn't need him he's there quite frankly it had bothered me but now it has grown on me. I had prided myself as an independent woman. Ever since I met him, life has not been the same. When Erasa introduced me to him over the summer I thought he was a regular guy until I saw his truck that left me to wonder who he really was."
ChiChi chuckles "I was like you Goku had a knack of showing up when I needed help I was also pretty independent but I always enjoyed his company while we were on an adventure."
Videl retorts "It's not that I didn't enjoy his company what infuriated me was that before I found out it was him I would fight the Super Soldier because I felt he was homing in on my thing which was fighting crime. But after I found out I was grateful because we had two instances dealing with fire and he was able to do some of the more dangerous stuff."
ChiChi exclaims "Fire! He didn't tell me anything about fire."
Videl explains "The first instance was a building being on fire he went into the building and saved a female and her child then he picked up a fifty thousand gallon water tank ripped it open and emptied it out on the burning building. The second instance we got a call about an arsonist he insisted on going himself because he told me his outfit was fireproof. Well I follow him and see that he had captured the criminal and shortly afterwards, he knocked him out. Then we turned him over to the Chief."
ChiChi shakes her head "Just like his dad always heading into danger."
Videl asks, "How did you and Goku meet?"
ChiChi thinks about it then responds, "Well it was happenstance He was looking for something that daddy had and I had been out looking for Master Roshi. Well Goku found dad and Dad was worried about me so he sent Goku out to find me. Needless to say Goku finds me we go to Master Roshi's find out the item I wanted from him he had thrown out but Master Roshi agrees to accompany us back to our castle."
Videl asks, "What was Goku looking for?"
ChiChi responds, "Surely Gohan has told you about it but Goku was looking for the Dragonballs."
Videl remembers, "That's right, our teacher had had the Four Star ball Gohan said his great grandfather held it in his possession."
ChiChi smiles "I'm sure Goku knows better now but he told me that before he met Bulma He thought that the glow of the Dragonball was his grandfather talking to him or communicating with him."
Videl responds, "You mean you guys didn't always know what Dragonballs were either?"
ChiChi replies "Nope not until some of us met Bulma."
Videl deduces "So Goku meeting Bulma was the catalyst of everyone meeting everyone."
ChiChi remarks, "It was the catalyst of Goku going out and having his adventures."
Videl replied, "I see."
Tala announces, "We're done with the dishes thanks for the help."
Videl dries her hands and notifies them "I'm going to go out and see what Gohan is doing."
She looks at her watch to see what time it was and sees that she should be getting back home. She takes advantage of the bond and feels out where Gohan is, so she heads outside. She finds him about fifty yards from the camp. She stands there watching him fire arrows in wonder.
Videl waited until after he finished firing the arrow and approached him "Hey Gohan we're done with dishes."
Gohan lowers the bow turns to face her "Oh hey Videl I was just practicing the bow and arrow."
Videl remarks, "I see that we just finished the dishes."
Gohan replies "That's good so what do you want to do now?"
Videl answers, "Well I was thinking that I should be getting home."
Gohan responds, "Let me collect my arrows then I'll take you home."
Videl replies "Oh Okay."
Gohan flies over to the deer target and pulls out his arrows. He places them back into the quiver then says, "Come on lets head back to the truck I'll drive you."
Videl questions "You know driving will take three hours right?"
Gohan replies, "I know."
Videl lets out a yawn "I could take my jet copter it would be faster."
Gohan remarks "And risk you falling out of the sky due to falling asleep I don't mind driving you."
Videl yawns again "Okay I'll call dad let him know you're driving me home." She stopped and thought about what she just said but shook it off. She pulled out her phone and dialed.
"Hello?"
Videl says "May I speak to me dad please?"
"One moment please."
Videl expresses "Thank you."
Hercule picks up "Videl, Videl are you alright I've been worried about you."
Videl replies "I'm fine. Hey Gohan is going to drive me back home in his truck."
Hercule asks, "Is there anything wrong with your jet copter?"
Videl responds "No its working fine."
Hercule says, "Let me talk to him."
Videl holds her phone out to Gohan "Dad wants to talk to you."
Gohan asks "He does? Why?"
Videl shrugs her shoulders "How should I know he just said he wants to talk to you."
Gohan takes the phone "Hello Hercule, how are you this evening?"
Hercule responds "I'm doing fine. Listen; JUST bring her home no funny business."
Gohan replies, "I wasn't planning anything only to bring her home safely."
Hercule's response "Good better keep it that way, now hand the phone back to Videl."
Gohan hands the phone back to Videl.
Videl asks, "Is everything okay?"
Hercule responds "Yeah everything is okay, just having a little heart to heart. See you when you get home."
Videl says, "Okay see you later daddy."
She ends the phone call.
Videl climbs in the truck and closes the door.
Gohan starts the engine and heads out.
Videl asks, "What did dad talk to you about?"
Gohan replies, "He sounded like he was trying to threaten me again because he was warding me off of any funny business. We haven't reached that point of our relationship nor are we even close to that point. Don't get me wrong I do find you attractive."
Videl's curiosity was peaked so she asked, "You find me attractive in what way personality, physically, or sexually?"
Gohan swallows hard takes a deep breath and lets it out he responds "Can I pick all of the above?"
Videl gives a mock laugh "I knew it even thou your part alien you still think like a regular male."
Gohan asked, "Can I be on the level with you?"
Videl responds "What 'on the level'? I don't think I've ever heard you say that before, but yeah you can level with me."
Gohan levels with her "I kept it well hidden earlier but if there was a time I was glad to be part human it was when I saw you in that dress."
Videl asks, "Are you serious?"
Gohan responds, "I'm totally serious that was why I was asking you if you swim the urge was almost passed when KRO asked if you had a swimsuit."
Videl concludes, "That is why you changed the topic to your dad swimming in the nude isn't it."
Gohan replies "Right, that is why."
Videl asks, "Now can I level with you?"
Gohan answers "Yeah."
Videl tells him "Because I was freaking out about being seen in the dress Tala told me that she could have given me a sexy outfit."
Gohan responds, "Several things would have happened if she had, one mom would have been really mad, two your dad would have been mad, and three I wouldn't have had any control."
Videl replies, "Makes me glad she didn't give me the sexy outfit."
Gohan sighs, "No kidding."
THUNK…
Gohan nearly shouts "What on earth? It sounded like it came from the truck bed."
Gohan slows down and pulls over. They get out and look in the truck bed.
KRO sits up and remarks "Never try to land on a moving vehicle ouch."
Gohan asks, "What are you doing here KRO?"
KRO looks off to the side "I was bored at home and figured I would catch up to you guys."
Gohan sighs, "Well get in the cab you can't ride in the bed inside city limits."
KRO jumps out of the bed and gets in the back of the cab.
Gohan and Videl climb back in.
They ride in silence for some time.
Gohan sighs and turns on some music.
Videl comments, "Hey it's that song you sang-a-long with what is it called again?"
Gohan replies, "It's called 'I Don't Want This Night to End'."
Videl recalls "Yeah I had asked you what your favorite song was and you said it was this one. I see that it is playing off a cd this time instead of the radio."
Gohan responds, "Yeah Yamcha came over with it over the summer."
Videl remarks, "I see."
They ride the rest of the way to Satan City listening to the radio.
By the time Gohan had pulled into the driveway Videl had fallen asleep in her seat.
Gohan taps Videl on the shoulder.
Videl starts to stir and sleepily asks "Huh?"
Gohan says just above a whisper "Your home."
Videl rubs her eyes and yawns "Okay."
She unfastens her seatbelt and gets out of the truck.
Gohan quickly jumps out of the truck to walk with her.
Videl stumbles a few times but regains her footing.
Gohan guides her to the front door. Then he rings the doorbell.
A servant answers the door.
Gohan gently nudges Videl forward and says, "Make sure she makes it to bed she is awfully tired."
Videl turns around and gives Gohan a hug.
He hugs her back and kisses her on the forehead.
Videl heads back to the door.
The servant says, "I'll make sure she makes it to her room Mr.…"
Gohan says "No Mr. it's just Gohan."
The servant replies, "I'll make sure she makes it to her room Mr. Gohan."
Gohan sighs, "Okay Goodnight."
The servant responds "Goodnight." Then closes the door.
Gohan walks back over to the truck and sees KRO standing outside leaning up against it.
KRO asks, "Can we fly?"
Gohan responds "I was planning to fly back home." He puts the truck back into its capsule.
KRO takes to the air.
Gohan pockets the capsule and takes to the air.
Gohan asks "What has been bothering you today KRO?"
KRO looks away "Nothing."
Gohan stops.
KRO stops.
Gohan states, "There is something bothering you I really want to know what it is."
KRO slumps his shoulders and replies "I was really hoping today would be a bro day."
Gohan asks "Bro day? What do you mean?"
KRO motions for them to start flying.
Gohan starts flying.
KRO answers him "What I mean by a bro day is I was hoping it would be just you and me so this morning I was a bit ticked off when I found out you were teaching Videl how to fly."
Gohan asks, "Are you jealous of Videl?"
KRO shakes his head "No I'm more or less jealous of you."
Gohan retorts "Me? Why?"
KRO sighs, "I was also after Videl like Sharpner and every other male in our school. You do realize Videl was the most sought out female in the school."
Gohan remarks, "I kind of got the gist of it. But what does that have to do with me?"
KRO exclaims "Dude! You scooped her up without even trying; everyone was training to become as strong as or stronger than Hercule to become even dateable."
Gohan responds, "I told you over the summer I could lift a lot."
KRO replies, "Honestly I didn't believe you until I saw you lift those weights in weights class."
Gohan remarks, "I see."
They fly in silence until they get to KRO's camp.
KRO says, "I'll see you tomorrow Gohan."
Gohan replies, "See you tomorrow."
KRO lands and walks into the house.
Gohan continues to fly to his house.
He lands and walks in.
ChiChi asks, "Did you get her home safe?"
Gohan responds "Yeah. We had a surprise drop in by KRO."
ChiChi remarks, "You did?"
Gohan sighs "Yeah he flew up to the truck and landed in the truck bed."
ChiChi exclaims, "That could be dangerous landing on a moving vehicle!"
Gohan remarks, "It startled me."
ChiChi responds, "I bet it did."
Gohan tells her "I'm going to bed I'm tired."
ChiChi replies "Okay Gohan Goodnight."
Gohan goes into his room and closes the door.
A/N: Well this is the fastest I've gotten a chapter done I think got it finished within a week and one day. I'm not sure why I decided to make KRO jealous of Gohan I guess It mad for a good angle. Let me know what you think.
