Videl flopped back onto her bed. She managed to avoid all her father's questions as to why she was so giddy, her mother just eyed her suspiciously. She brought her hand up and touched her lips gently. She blushed and giggled, feeling very bubbly for probably the first time in her life. In the past, Gohan had turned down some very aggressive advances from a lot of the older girls at school, and to have her kiss reciprocated made her feel good about herself, no matter how small a victory it was.
She looked over and noticed Gohan's jacket on the arm chair next to her. Reaching out from on top of her bed, she tried to snatch it up, but her arm buckled under the weight and she face planted onto the plush runner, barely missing the hardwood floor. Surprised, she used both her to haul the jacket onto her bed. Immediately, the intoxicating scent waft over her. She rolled over and clutched it to her chest, her parents were still downstairs wondering what had her so happy.
'To think that a boy has me like this.' She thought, thinking about Gohan made fidget restlessly. 'Ah, this might be bad,' the heat between her legs had become unbearable.

A lone being sat on the surface of the moon, watching the night Earth looming in the distance. He wondered how 7,000,000,000 people lived on such a small planet with even smaller land space. Not counting the numerous other races of sentient life on his planet, his race only had 6,000,101,320 members.
His home planet was over twice the size of Jupiter, but its gravity was 202% that of Earth's, owing to its relatively slow rotation speed and sparse density. There were no surface oceans, water bodies were either frozen in masses larger than that country called "Russia", or was trapped in three 5000 km deep layers that sat under the 2000 km thick crust, circulating through massive holes in the tectonic plates that separated the steam and hot water nearest the core, the cold water in the middle and the airy rime ice at the top. Heck, the core of the planet itself was probably four times the size of earth. Oddly enough, even though the outer surface of the planet should have extended way past the gravitational field, the planet held onto an atmosphere 1000km deep, the deepest in Universe 7. In fact, 15 of the planet's 94 moons orbited within the middle layers of the atmosphere, creating diverse haphazard weather phenomena.
'Are humans really worth saving?' He stretched out his palm towards the planet, he could blow it to smithereens or push the moon into it. It was a small loss, humans contributed absolutely nothing to the universe, and they just wallowed in their endless ignorance: believing they were the only intelligent life in the universe, yet they go around killing each other for sport. He placed his hand back on the ground.
Out of his peripheral vision, he noticed a rather large number of meteoroids flying towards the planet. He smiled to himself and with a flick of his wrist, he captured every single on in lunar orbit, forcing them to gradually increase speed. These would come in very handy.

The weekend passed without much incident. Videl wanted to see Gohan, but he was too busy taking care of a sick Lime, on top of that Erasa chewed her out for ditching her for the 5th time that month. Despite this, nothing could dampen her mood, she even found that fighting criminals was a bit easier.
Videl's alarm went off early Monday morning, she hit the snooze button and rolled over. Not a second later did her mother walk in and haul her up by the waist of her pants.
"Hey, hey!" She protested, "Put me down!"
"That's what you get for trying to sleep in." Her mother replied, complying. "Didn't you invite your friends over today to show them something?"
Videl blinked, then remembered the promise she'd made to appease Erasa. She quickly picked herself of the floor and headed for the bathroom, stripping off her clothes as she went.
"Oh, by the way…" Tsana called out, Videl peeked out of the bathroom doorway. Her mother smirked and hefted a black jacket off the nearby armchair, then added suggestively, "Must've been real nice, good thing your father or the help didn't hear too, but next time, do keep your voice down when you relieve your frustrations will ya?"
Videl's face flushed a deep red as she slammed the bathroom door and doused herself is cold water. She tried to avoid her mother's knowing glances for the remainder of the morning.

Gohan lay on his bed half awake, he was vaguely aware of Goten curled up down by his feet. He didn't feel like moving at all this morning for two reasons. One, their father had been practicing weather manipulation that seemed more related to magic than ki, and wasn't very careful or good at it. Even now, thunder was rolling outside. Two, he really didn't want to face Videl, not after Friday. He was jarred out of his musing when something solid, and very heavy landed on him.
The sudden impact caused poor Goten to bounce off the bed. Luckily for him, he had his tail wrapped around Gohan's leg. Said person tried to sit upright, but was held down by someone. Highly annoyed at this point, Gohan focused his vision on his sister who was sitting atop him, smiling brightly. Before he could retort, a flicker of movement behind her…

Videl had always hated attention, but flying to school in her new plasma jet-copter worsened the experience, especially when her best friend was gossip queen of campus.
"Spill it V, where'd you get that ride?" Erasa asked, while the two of the waited out near the landing platform.
"What?", she asked, flipping her hair "You know how Daddy likes to spend money…"
"Don't gimme that!" Erasa chastised, "You said you gave me a ride as an apology, but you were so happy to show it off."
"What's your point?" Videl asked uncertainly as Erasa moved back over to inspect the craft. She looked back with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Did you get it from a boy?"
"Maybe?" Videl alluded, "Who knows?" She couldn't help but giggle at the sight of Erasa's pouting face.
"Awww! That's not fair!" She whined, "Who is it?"
Videl thought about Friday night a blushed slightly, then stuck out her tongue. She was having too much fun teasing Erasa that she barely noticed the silent craft barrelling towards them. At the last possible moment, it made an almost instant stop-and-hover manoeuvre. It was a red power lift craft resembling a four-engine version of Bell-Boeing's V-22, except with plasma engines instead of turboprops. Both the forward and rear wings appeared to be able could pivot about the engines. It had a familiar 'Z' emblazed on the side.
Videl's heart rate suddenly quickened, it was quite obvious who was inside. True to her expectations, a certain weary eyed teen stepped down onto the landing platform. He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt that showed off his toned arms. Erasa caught her staring and smirked.
"Hi Gohan! Come over here!" Videl visibly panicked, she sent a sharp glare in Erasa's direction. The blonde just smiled innocently. Gohan glanced over at them briefly before walking over to them. He sauntered lazily over, hands in his pockets with a smirk on his face. He tilted his head to one side and looked at them.
"You girls seem to be in high spirits." He said in his usual monotone drawl as Erasa jumped to hug him.
"Yep. And guess what?" Erasa piped, her eyes too were roaming Gohan's physique. Videl couldn't blame her though, but it didn't stop her from glaring at the blonde. "Videl's been getting gift from boys."
"Erasa!" Videl screeched.
"Is she?" Gohan arched an eyebrow and feigned indignation. "I see."
"Are you jealous?" Erasa asked, giggling a bit.
"And if I am?" He replied bluntly, making Videl blush again. Trying to get her mind off Friday night, she turned to the red craft behind him.
"Nice ride. Looks like a Z-4" She commented smoothly.
"Capsule Corp's Z-7 Bolt Strike Jump jet." He said, throwing a gesture to the machine. "My father personal project. Real classified stuff mixed up in there."
Videl pulled him away from Erasa, who had shifted her full attention to her phone. "Sorry about Friday…"
"Why?" He asked, "I am not angry…"
"That's not the point, it's just tha-"
"That you think I don't like you?" He interrupted, he smirked and put an arm around her waist. She blushed and tried to squirm out of his grip. "Do you want proof, Blue-eyes?"
Lime stepped off the ramp and made a gagging noise. She pulled Videl into a hug and stuck out her tongue at her pouting brother. However, Videl was too transfixed by the girl's new appearance to reciprocate; her entire body had completely changed. Lime's hair was cut shorter and spikier with black tips and a single thin long braid framing the left side of her face, her curves and chest were more noticeable, and her skin was firmer as well. She was even more surprised to see a familiar tail mimicking a belt around her waist. Tentatively, she reached down and touched it while giving her friend a once-over. The look on her face: complete and utter confusion.
"My family grows weird, if you're wondering." He said simply as he cautiously eyed the unpredictable, over-excited Erasa, who was now squealing in delight at the sight of the demi-human girl. He and Videl then proceeded to walk to the building, followed by Erasa and Lime, the lattermost struggled to prevent Gohan from beating up any boy who dared ogle her. As they entered the building, they ran into Kemaru and Sharpener. Mirai was a ways down the hall, and Gohan was already amusing himself with his friend's and sister's flushed faces. The saiyans immediately moved away from the group and began conversing with each other, much to Videl's disappointment. And much to her chagrin, Kemaru took the opportunity to flirt relentlessly with her. She was highly annoyed by the time they had reached the high school block.

Erasa noticed Gohan passing straight by the classroom, "Hey Gohan, the classroom's right here."
"Oh, I have a project to finish during this free period." He ran his hand through his sister's hair and said something in yasai to Mirai, who flushed and flipped him off in response. He glanced at Videl, who was looking quite vexed, her jealousy on full display. However, regardless of the circumstances, he walked up to Videl and kissed her full on her lips.
Ignoring her friends' shocked reaction, she reciprocated the kiss before breaking away. Amusing himself with their expression, Gohan placed his hands behind his head and walked off, leaving his friends in their stupor. By the time any of them had recovered, he was long gone, and Videl was already in her seat watching some of the younger girls playing around with Lime's hair.
Erasa was the first to break the silence, unable to contain her excitement any longer. "Videl! What was that?!"
The shorter girl looked at her and tilted her head to the side, "What?"
"Outside, just now!" Sharpener had to clamp his hands over his girlfriend's mouth before she started attracting any more attention than she already had.
"A kiss." She said bluntly.
"With an actual guy?!"
"I was never a lesbian." She deadpanned.
"I know that stupid!" Erasa said sharply, then lowered her voice, "When did you start dating?"
"We're not dating." She started.
"Yet." Lime called out, revealing that she could still hear their conversation. The bell rang, and everyone scrambled to the respective class, or seat.
Videl twirled a lock of hair with her ring finger. "We're kinda just…playing it by ear..." She said carefully, "For the time being, at least."
"So… you gonna make him fight your father?" Sharpener treaded carefully, stretching. Kemaru had been fuming all this time and it was making him uneasy.
Videl paused and though about it for a moment. As the son of Son Gokuu, Gohan should definitely be able to hold his own, but she promised to keep that a secret. "He's fast…and his body is sturdy, but I don't think he'll want to fight."
"Ani doesn't need a reason to fight Hercule." Lime pointed out, "He has plenty already."
The raven-haired girl sucked her teeth, having being foiled. With no follow up excuse, Videl got Erasa to drop the subject for the rest of the period but continued to ponder on the subject.

First period had ended, and the students were engaged in self-study.
Caught motion in her peripheral vision, Videl looked up to see Gohan re-enter the class, albeit in a rather vexed mood. He blatantly ignored Erasa and walked over to the desk on which Lime was sitting.
Upon sensing him, she flinched unconsciously before swivelling around to face him. He had completely cut her off from the link, but she could feel his anger.
:: What? ::
:: Something's come up. :: He said, :: I'm leaving.::
:: I going with yo- ::
:: Stay.:: He commanded coldly, with a fierce glare. Lime flinched again, and even Mirai shank back in his seat. Then as quickly as he had come, Gohan was good.
"What was that about?" Videl asked, surprised. Lime shook her head before slouching over in her seat. With that, Videl unconsciously found her increasingly nervous, a feeling she knew all too well.
