"What" "now" "Gohan?"

Videls training

"Now we're going to get on top of that hill…" Gohan said as he pointed the hill in question.

'That doesn't look too bad, it's a small hill with a low angle, it's like 50 meters or so, I can do that.' Videl thought.

"Within 10 seconds or you have to try again." Gohan said with a grin.

'Whaaat? It's hard enough to walk, now he wants me to run in these things?' Videl thought. As Gohan made his way to the top of the hill, Videl took a few deep breaths and got ready, she had to try, she wanted to show him that she could do this training of his.

"Get ready, set, go!" Gohan yelled. Videl shot forward, giving it her all, she had to make it. Passing Gohan she fell onto her knees and hands panting heavily: "Did" "I" "make" "it?"

"9.9 seconds, not bad." Gohan said.

"Not bad? I ran the lungs out of my body to make it, wearing more than 30 kilos of lead with me and all you have to say is not bad?" Videl said angrily, getting back up her feet. "If you're going to say that the next part is doing this ten times in a row I'm going to kick your ass."

'She was so busy running she didn't keep an eye on the time, she's really focused, still 10.4 seconds isn't bad.' Gohan thought with a smile. "Hey, cheer up, what we're going to do next won't be as tiring." Gohan reassured. 'Somehow I think she's going to be a quick learner.' Gohan thought as he sat down cross-legged. "Sit down like me, I guess that your training never involved meditation of any sort?" Gohan said as he gestured Videl to sit in front of him.

"No, not really, my dad always told me that it was useless and a waste of time." Videl said as she followed Gohans example and sat cross-legged in front of him facing him.

"And you believed him? I thought we agreed that he was an oaf?" Gohan said with a jokingly expression.

"Yeah, you're right, that's why I listen to you, otherwise I would've branded you as a bullshit-seller." Videl answered jokingly back.

"And the fact I know how to fly and your dad doesn't and you want to learn it." Gohan said.

"Yeah, that's true." Videl admitted, "So what does this meditation hold in?"

Getting serious again Gohan answered: "To be able to use your ki, you must be able to locate it and to locate it you must clear your mind. That's what we're first going to do, training clear your mind. I want you to lock out all senses except sound, the next step is to focus solely on the sound of your own breathing. The only additional sound you may hear is my footsteps if I walk away, you fail if you find yourself alone on this hill."

Nodding Videl closed her eyes and tried to close everything out except for sounds. She could hear the birds, a few bees, a small water stream, and her breathing, she started focusing on her breathing. For an unknown time she sat still, focusing on her breathing, until an unexpected sound came, her stomach. 'Guess now my concentration was broken, I can ask Gohan if he doesn't mind to have lunch.' Videl thought as she opened one eye, only the second eye to immediately follow as she saw nobody sitting in front of her. 'Shit, he's gone and I didn't hear him, I failed.' Suddenly she heard another rumble, it wasn't her stomach, looking to the direction where the sound came from she looked up. There she saw Gohan floating 3 meters above the ground still cross-legged in meditating stand.

"Hey Gohan!" Videl yelled.

Gohan did not respond.

"Hey, get down here or do I have to come up there?!" Videl yelled again.

Gohan was still meditating.

Getting an idea Videl said: "Oh Gohan, lunch is ready and Goten is asking if he can have yours."

Breaking out of concentration, Gohan fell down and landed flat on his ass, though immediately jumped up. "No Goten, you can't." Gohan yelled, before he saw Videl with a big smile standing in front of him holding in a laugh.

"Lunch isn't ready isn't it?" Gohan said with an almost disappointed look.

"Well according to our stomachs it could be at any moment." Videl joked.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Gohan answered getting his smile back on his face.

'Much better.' Videl thought as she apologized: "Sorry I yanked you out of your little world."

"Don't worry about it, I got a little carried away, as you could see." Gohan joked, "Let's get back to the house."

"Running or walking?" Videl asked with a worried face, hoping for the latter.

"Just walking." Gohan answered, causing Videl to sigh of relief, which caused Gohan to chuckle a bit. Gohan and Videl started to walk back to the house, while walking back Videl started a conversation:

"So this is the way you started training?" Videl asked.

"No." Gohan replied.

"Then why aren't you training me the same way? Videl asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't think you would like to go through the same training as I." Gohan responded.

"And why not? What did you have to do? It can't be as bad as wearing this heavy stuff." Videl asked.

"A six month survival training without any forms of equipment, except for a sword to defend myself from sabertooth tigers and such." Gohan answered.

Videl upon remembering her time in the cave and the sabertooth tiger attack thought: 'And that was only two days, I think I rather stick to this.' Remembering something Videl began: "You've got to be kidding, you said you were five when you began training. Are you really trying to tell me you survived on your own for six months at the age of five?" On which Gohan nodded with a honest expression on his face. 'So he did!' Videl thought.

"Starting that young with that kind of intense training you are probably a fast flier now." Videl asked as stated.

"Yes I am." Was the response from Gohan.

"How fast will I be able to fly?" Videl asked.

"You sound like you've already finished my training." Gohan said with a smile.

"Well, I'm going to, so I might as well get some information about possible end results." Videl said as-a-matter-of-fact.

'Her determination is most admirable.' Gohan thought with a smile. "Well, if you've been training as long as me you can get to 300 kilometers per hour easily." Gohan answered. 'Add four zeros for me.'

"So I could go head to head with my jetcopter?" Videl said, surprised at the possible speed to be able to fly.

"Like I said, not right away, but I think you should be able to reach a decent speed by the time you have to leave." Gohan answered.

"Oh right, school…" Videl began, "How did you manage to work for Capsule Corp? You don't look like somebody who did an 8 years study outside of high school."

"Well, I've always been homeschooled by my mother and if you know my mother as good as I do you'll find out that it's very effective. So except for easily finishing university-exams at the age of ten, Bulma Briefs is a very close friend of the family, that's how I got there." Gohan finished as they arrived at the house.

Opening the back door they first saw Sharpener, who asked: "And? What are you going to do with us?"
