Hey, Demi here and trying to get this done! Anyway, This should be my last chapter since I'm trying to make this on rather long. So, here is my last chapter! Enjoy and thank you for the support!

It was another beautiful day at the barn for Gohan and Videl. The sun was shining, birds were chirping, and the fog was thick.

" It's way too early to be out here..." Videl groaned as she lifted another full bucket of feed onto the small cart.

" I didn't sleep so well myself last night." Gohan yawned as he turned the key to start the small engine. " You kept kicking me."

" We need a bigger bed if we're both going to sleep in it." Videl sighed as she hopped in the vehicle. She shivered as they took off; though the speed was slow, the wind was very chilly that morning.

" How about we finish the chores and then go back to bed? It's the perfect weather right now to do so. The air is crisp and chilly and you can smell the approaching storm." Gohan stated as he drove to the first pen of horses.

" What if we were to sleep through the storm? What of the horses?" Videl asked.

" They all have access to shelter, see?" Gohan pointed to large, roof structures in the fields. " They can run in and out of the rain if they like."

" Oh. Sounds fine then."

~ At Baba's House ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The old witch stared at her young nieces with both amazement and total outrage. How could they sneak around her so well? And find out so many important clues?

" Let me get this straight; you two went to heaven without clearance, snuck all the way to the inner most part of it even, talked to the gods, and snuck back out without anybody knowing?"

" Yeah...more or less." Artemis giggled.

" They said that the ingredients we need are on Earth, but they didn't say what. Exton just said to read books." Demeter sighed.

Baba rubbed her temples to calm the raging storm of a headache she was getting. " Did he at least tell you what books to read?"

" No. I assume he means spell books that contain transformation spells and such." Artemis snickered at the growling old woman.

" Fine! Get everyone over here and we'll starting reading." Baba ordered at she then floated off toward her library.

~ Barn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Videl awoke to the sound of heavy rain fall and the light sound of Gohan snoring. She sighed as she looked down at him; his features soft and his mouth wide open. A smiled graced her lips as she listened to his deep breathing.

A small mew caught her attention. Leo as at the end of the bed, crying due the fact he wasn't in bed with them. Videl gave a small pat on the mattress and giggled softly as Leo easily jumped on the bed. He crawled his way up to Videl and begin to purr as she lightly stoked his head.

" This isn't so bad, you know." Videl sighed to the overgrown lap cat. " In fact, I might have to do this again soon. Maybe next summer?" Videl laughed as the cat yawned in response to her question. " You lazy thing. You sleep more then you do anything else." She chuckled, but stopped when Gohan started to move and then sit up. " Good afternoon."

Gohan yawned as he scratched the fur on his chest. " Good afternoon, Videl. Leo."

" You still sound groggy." Videl giggled as she snuggled up against him.

Gohan smiled as he wrapped an arm around her waist and yawned again. " I am."

" Hey, I wanted to go over to see how everyone is doing on that cure." Videl stated to the nodding man.

" Alright. We should go to Baba's Palace then." Gohan smiled as he rolled out of bed and stretched his long body. He rubbed his eyes before he turned to see Videl jump out of bed and quickly onto his back. " Are you carrying Leo? Or am I?"

" You're the man. You should do the heavy lifting." Videl giggled then kissed his cheek and made her way outside.

Gohan turned to see Leo wagging his tail happily at him. He could tell the beast was excited to be going with them. " Wanna ride on Nimbus?"

~ In the Sky~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I can't believe you taught Leo to ride on Nimbus." Videl sighed as she watched the large cat surf on the puffy yellow cloud.

" People teach their animals to surf all the time." Gohan reasoned. " And look; he's having the time of his life!"

" I'm just worried what else you'll teach him." Videl sighed as she watched the beast stick out it's tongue; only to quickly draw it back in and then out again.

They landed near the front door of Baba's house and gently knocked on the soft wood. A moment later they were tackled by Goten.

" Gohan! Videl! I'm so happy to see you two!"

" We're glad to be here." Gohan chuckled as he laid on the ground with his little brother on top of him. " We came to see how things were going."

" Super cool! The witch's found out that the stuff we need to cure you guys is here on Earth and not in Heaven or on those creepy islands. All we need now is to found out what we need!" Goten stated as he hopped off his brother and gave Videl a hug before he hopped on the back of Leo. " so, are we going to keep Leo after you guys get fixed?"

" I don't think we could get rid of him even if we wanted to." Gohan chuckled as he watched the cat stand proud; as though he was a great steed and Goten was his warrior rider.

They all walked inside the palace and made their way into the library to find everyone else there. They all had their noses stuck in a book searching for any clues to a cure. Books were all over the floor in many different piles. The air was thick with dust and the smell of old paper and aging leather.

" Any way we can help?" Videl asked as she pick up a book, but Baba quickly took it from her.

" Not with those claws!" Baba snapped. " These books are as old as I am! They can't be replaced!"

" Okay then." Videl growled; clearly annoyed with the manner of the old hag. " where's our stuff that we brought back?"

" It's in the storage room. Are you sure you guys want to keep that stuff? It might be soaked in that magic." Baba warned, but was only answered by the waving hand of an anger Videl.

" I don't see why we shouldn't keep it. Some of that stuff was really nice." Gohan chuckled as he watched Videl walk off.

" I think it would be better off here were it's safe." Baba said with a glint in her eye.

" No thanks. We'll keep the things we brought back. Hey! If you want some of that stuff, you can always go back to that island and get some yourself!" Gohan teased. He had seen the glint in the old woman's eye and knew the real reason she wanted it to stay here with her. Gohan smirked as Baba grumbled to herself and went back to her books.

Gohan smiled as he watched Goten and Trunks playing with Leo; rubbing his belly and patting his head. It made him happy to see them getting along with the big cat.

" Hey, Gohan."

Gohan turned to see Videl holding up a book. He knew that book, it was from their belongs they brought back from that accursed island. " What's up, Vi?"

" I had an idea, so I thought I'd give them another look. I noticed something weird in this one." She walked up to him and opened it to a random page. " We both noticed that it's the same stuff over and over, but look at what that stuff was."

Gohan gently took the book from her paws and gave it a quick scan. His eyebrows shot up in surprise and confusion. " It's a list of plants?"

Baba suddenly shot over to them and stole the book. She read it over and gasped. " THIS! This is the cure!"

" WHAT? Then why didn't you see it the FIRST time you looked through these books!" Videl hissed at the old witch; fangs bared.

" We didn't know we were looking for normal ingredients!" Baba snapped back as she closed the book and gathered everyone around. " Videl found the cure! Now we just need to gather the stuff and mix it up! These ingredients may be found on Earth, but they are all hard to reach so listen closely. The first ingredient is a fire weed. This plant is very common on a special volcano that lays south from here. Goku, I want you to go there and be careful not to get burned!"

" Alright! I'm on it!" Goku smiled as he ran out of the house and into the sky.

" Next is a water lily, but this might be hard to find due to the fact that it floats and grows into floating land bridges. You have to be careful to not just tear it apart because this plant can rip easily and we need a whole one. Piccolo, I'm going to ask you to retrieve this plant. Go north from here and you'll find a large marsh."

Piccolo only nodded before he flew off.

" Next is a plant can be located in the swamp lands to the east of here. This plant grows on living trees and is very large and heavy. We only need a petal so hurry up with that, Vegeta. Last but not least is an ice flower."

" That kind of flower is only found on moving glaciers." Gohan stated to himself more then anything.

" Oh? You know it? Good! You can go get it then!" Baba smiled as she shooed the boy off.

~ At the Volcano ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goku sighed as he wiped his brow from the glistening layer of sweat. It was mixed with the super fine dust that seemed to fall from the sky. His eyes felt heavy and his vision was warped from the extreme heat.

" I thought these weeds were supposed to be easy to find?" He groaned as he tried to fan himself, but it only made him feel worse. He didn't even know how anything could even survive here in this miserable heat, but there was plenty of life.

There were many different animals that roamed the lands; grazing on what grasses and weeds they could find. There were even giant beasts that would eat the rocks and ores that the volcano made.

Goku sighed again as he started to make his way further up the violent mountain side. This was going to be hard to find this weed if he doesn't get his head into the game, but with all this arising heat; he wasn't sure if he could.

~ Eastern Swamp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegeta snarled as tears ran down his cheeks. The air here was rancid he was for sure he could feel his nose hairs burn away. Nothing he could save him from that stench and he was for sure that his clothes, hair, and even skin would smell like this horrible place for at least a few days!

" That damn witch! She sent me here on purpose!" Vegeta growled at the scampering rat that had the misfortune of crossing his path. " This place has the fattest rats I've ever seen! They're about the size of saibamen!"

The angry sayian drug his feet in the thick muck; caring not if he flung the foul goo on any nearby trees or blades of grass. This planet was filled with so many different habits and ecosystems that it almost made his head spin! His planet was large, but not this diverse; it almost made him want to explore this seemingly amazing planet...almost.

" WHAT IN KAMI'S NAME IS THAT SMELL?" He roared as he whipped his head around to glare at any creature he may blame the odor on, but only found an old tree with a very large plant at it's base. Well...he thought it might be a plant.

He moved closer to the thing; his eyes widening at the shear size of it. The whole plant was larger then the length of his outstretched arms and a single petal was half that length! The width of those petals must of been around four or even five inches, and good heaven the stench. It was enough to make his knees buckle!

" I'll kill this witch and that eldest Son brat too." Vegeta swore as he swallowed down his lunch again and began to try and remove a single petal.

~ Isle of Air ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Piccolo crossed his arms as he gently landed on the soft, spongy earth. It was nothing more then a mountain that seemed to be taken over by mosses thousands of years ago. The different hues and values of greens were eye catching.

" This would be a good place to mediate." Piccolo mused to himself. He turned his glance upwards and smirked as he saw at least three different bridges above him.

Piccolo floated up to inspect the plants that made up such a bridge. The work was amazing actually; roots so tightly wound up together to form such a strong bridge. Lily pads covered the entire structure. He gently laid his hand against the waxy leaf and let out a sigh since the plant didn't wither away and die.

Next, he wrapped his hand around the plant and tugged. His eyes near popped out of his head at what a simple action had. Half of the entire bridge ripped away; quickly withering away and falling lifelessly to the earth below. Piccolo looked at the dead vegetation in his hand and sighed at the task that was given to him. This was going to be difficult indeed.

~ On some Random Glacier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gohan smiled as he inhaled deeply; the cold air crisp and relaxing to the mountain boy. His eyes taking in the white landscape before him. The towering walls of ice were like mirrors that reflected not only the environment, but the purity of the frozen water itself.

He glanced around to try and spot one of the beautiful flowers that he loved so much. Gohan knew of these flowers for many years; he even knew about the plants that the others were sent to fetch, but that was because he traveled the world so many times and listened to so many people. He knew that the flowers were going to be rooted high above the ground and the trick to uproot them was to breathe softly at it's base.

Gohan took to the air and lazily floated here and there in his relaxed search. He was excited to have a cure; yes, but now that he didn't mind it so much, he wasn't in that big of a hurry. A shiver ran up his spine as a soft wind blew through his thick furs. It made him smile wider as he thought of the winters on his mountain and how special it was to him. Winter was now his favorite season. Why not; it brought about his relationship with Videl, did it not?

" Oh! There's a patch." He chuckled as he flew down to the cliff wall and inhaled the clean scent the flower produced. It was sweet, but not too sweet that it tickled the back of his throat. The small, light blue and purple petals dancing in the teasing wind.

Gohan brought his face down to the flowers and gently cupped one in his large paws before he let out a small puff of hot air. The tiny plant unraveled it's roots from the solid block of ice and gently fell to Gohan's waiting hands. Without wasting any time, Gohan flew off to Baba's house with his icy prize.

~ At the Volcano's Peak ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" I...I can't...go any...further!" Goku gasped as he fell to the hot ground. He was covered in so many layers of sweat that it seemed he was wrapped in tin foil! He was being cooked alive and he hated every bit of it!

He closed his eyes to rest them from the strong colors and lights that the magma brought. Upon opening his eyes he was surprised at what he saw. It was a large group of red grasses that just swayed there; mocking him even! Goku quickly got up and grabbed a handful and took off so fast that a small crater was all the proof that was left of the whooping man.

" YES! I can't believe I found it! WHOOOOPIE!" Goku cried as he sailed through the skies. He quickly dunked himself into the ocean to rinse all the sweat off of his clothes and skin. " That's better."

" CURSE THESE FUCKING PLANTS!"

Goku stopped dead in his tracks; he knew that voice...it was Piccolo! What could he being screaming for? He quickly rushed to the source of the sound and was confused by what he saw.

It was indeed Piccolo, but he was covered in a fine, brown or green powder.

" Piccolo? What are you doing?"

" I'm trying to harvest these fucking plants but their so damn WEAK!" Piccolo roared as he turned to Goku and pointed to the empty space in front of him " There was a whole bridge of those stupid things but the just rot away at the slightest of touches!"

" Did you try grabbing it form the roots?" Goku asked.

A large vein popped from Piccolo's forehead. " OF COURSE! Where else do you grab a plant from?" He watched the man float to another close-by bridge and gently touch a leaf of the lily plant. He saw the shocked expression as the plant shriveled in front of him.

" Why don't I ask Baba? I'll be right back." Goku smiled before he teleported away.

~ Baba's place~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Baba-! Oh good god! What is that smell?" Goku gasped as he held his nose firmly. The stench was so strong and foul that it seemed to come from everywhere at once!

" That would be Vegeta and the plant he brought in. Seems that the plant uses that smell to attract prey and to also discourage foes." Bulma gagged. " We have Vegeta in the showers and Baba is milking the petal as we speak."

" Oh. I need to ask her a question."

" Maybe I can help?"

Bulma and Goku turned to see gohan carrying a small blue and purple flower in his large paws. He handed it over to Bulma and turned to his dad. " What's wrong? Couldn't find the fire weed?"

" No, I found it, but Piccolo seems to be having a bit of trouble with his. It seems to just rot at the slightest of touches."

" Well, yes. If you're trying to get them from the side of the bridge they will easily die." Gohan laughed at the expression his father gave him. " you see, the plant is quiet strong, but due to the constant battering of cross winds, it's made the sides of the bridge weak to frim touches. That's why only the top or bottom of the bridge is strong because the sides cover them from the winds. Didn't you two find it odd that it was a bridge of plants yet was so weak?"

"...nope. I thought it was just called a bridge. I didn't think they were really used as bridges."

" Well, now you know I guess." Gohan chuckled. He smiled as he dad teleported away to help retrieve the last ingredient.

" Hard to believe that a bunch of weeds could fix this, huh?"

Gohan turned around to see Videl smirking at him. " Yes, it is a little hard to grasp."

Videl walked over to him and hugged him tightly. " Some summer vacation. And it just started too. I wonder how the rest of it's going to play out."

" Purrrrrfectly , I think." Gohan chuckled at his little joke, but then busted into laughter when he heard Videl laughter at it too.

" My life has never been this exciting before, Gohan. I want to thank you for that." Videl whispered to him as her fingers began to trace the planes of muscle that made his back.

" You shouldn't thank me just yet, because now that I know how much you like my type of adventures, we are going on a lot of them." Gohan smirked down at her to see her widened eyes and slightly agape mouth.

Before Videl could say anything back, Piccolo and Goku returned with a single lily. Everyone had a smile on their face as they looked at one another. It seemed that these twisted dream was to be over with and everything would be back to normal except for a few select things of course, but all in all everything would be the same.

It took a good hour for Baba it make the potion and another hour for everyone to force Gohan to take the foul smelling liquid. Though Videl too, had a hard time trying to hold down the stuff as well. The potion only took a few minutes to start working; however, since Gohan and Videl was awake this time, they felt their bodies begin to reshape and the extreme pain that it caused.

It seemed like hours to them, but the pain only lasted ten minutes or so, but it was close enough for them.

" I'm selling that yachet." Videl huffed; her eyes shut tight and her head down cast.

" Good, because I was thinking of buying an old ship and go pirating." Gohan panted. He felt the eyes on him and the slight chuckle come from everyone also. " I'm serious. How about in a week or so we cast off?"

" And look for what?" Videl snapped.

" What else? Glory and fortune on the open seas. You know, what pirates always hunt for."

Videl smiled as she leaned over to kiss his cheek. " Alright, Cap'n."
