You guys are pretty cool ;D Tho I didn't have anyone to geek out with there. :( MissFreakanomics (sis) sends her love and is trying to decide if she wants to start a story. Heheh I am trying to convince her to. ^_^ Aaaaannnnyyyywwaayy... Story Time. OH WAIT!

Zombie: It can if you're told you would end up with someone you hated like Sharpner for instance... but if it told me I would be with Gohan... I wouldn't complain... xD

Chapter 21: Confrontations. TEACH ME HOW TO FLY!

~~~~ On To the Story! ~~~~

"Videl were have you been?" Erasa exclaimed as her friend entered the dome.

The blond ran up to her followed closely by Sharpner. Gohan hung back slightly but soon reached the two who were staring at Videl anxiously. Waiting for her to explain her absence.

"So? Where have you been?" she asked again.

Videl glanced at Gohan. Erasa looked at her questioningly not noticing the shifting of her friends eyes. Neither had Sharpner.

"I just went for a walk is all." she said sheepishly. "I actually think I need to go lay down."

She pushed past Erasa and Sharpner worrying the two emencly. She stopped for a moment and looked up at Gohan before walking past him as well, making her way toward their room. Her three friends turned and watched her go.

"Great!" Sharpner said loudly. "What did you do to her Nerd-Boy?" Sharpner asked.

"I'm sure Gohan didn't do anything. I mean he was with us the whole time and Videl was fine earlier."

"This seems like girl stuff." Sharpner said gruffly. "Why don't you go and talk to her Erasa?"

Erasa shook her head. "I don't think she'd talk to me." she said. "You go talk to her Gohan."

"M-Me?" Gohan questioned.

"Yeah Nerd-Boy. You seemed pretty close to her in the future. Go talk to her." Sharpner said with narrow eyes.

Gohan gulped nervously. His eyes shifted toward the room. Erasa rolled her eyes and let out and Exasperated sigh before walking over and pushing the taller boy.

"Move it." she commanded. "I want to know what's wrong and you're the one who's going to find out for me."

Gohan gave a shaky mock salute and slowly made his way toward the unknown.

"You actually think he can get something out of Videl." Sharpner asked sceptically.

Erasa shrugged. "Like you could?" she asked causing the blond boy to slump.

She giggled. "Why can't you just get over the fact that you don't have a chance?"

Sharpner pouted. He didn't see Erasa move to his side. She gave him a small peck on the cheek. Sharpner shot straight up and looked down at her with a bright pink blush.

"W-W-W-W-W-Wha?" he stumbled with the simple word in his mouth.

Erasa giggled and smiled up at him. Sharpner regained his composer and smiled smoothly down at her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and the two began to walk.

"You're right Erasa. I was so hooked on her, that I almost missed the beauty that's been in front of me the whole time.."

"Oh Sharpner." Erasa said playfully.

~~~~ ( (Videl. Her POV )) ~~~~

I slump down in bed. This awestruck feeling still fresh to me. I stared up at the ceiling and I knew my mouth still hang slightly ajar.

I figured they knew something was wrong. But I don't think I could have kept my mouth shut and it would be pretty odd if I burst out and asked him why he didn't tell me he was an alien. Did saiyans actually even look like humans, or are they in disguise? There is a lot I don't know about them. I was only given a small history of them I can tell. I closed my eyes and took a slow breath to help me clear my head. My mind was almost blank when I heard a knock at the door. All thoughts seemed to jump back out at me stunning me for a moment as I heard the door knob twist and the door start to creak open. I turned my head just barely to see who it was.

It was Gohan. He stood awkwardly there like he didn't know what to do. I turned my head to look at him more. He didn't seem to notice my eyes on him. I figured he was debating on what to say or do. It seemed to come to him and he looked up and was about to say something before I cut him off.

"I know what you are." I said simply.

I watched his face fall.

"W-What do you mean?" he asked with a nervous grin.

"I know what saiyans are." I replied quietly.

He was shocked for a moment. I watched as he walked over and took a seat at the edge of his bed. He looked up at me curiously. "How?" came the simple one word question.

"I couldn't believe it. I still can't!" I said. "This is impossible. When I went to ask Vegeta what saiyans were I never expected them to be... to be.." I trailed off. "And you... and.. and.." The words I wanted to come out got jumbled and caught in my throat as I babbled. And time I wasn't going to let him leave until all of my questions were answered.

"Vegeta told you?" he asked sounding not to surprised.

"Yeah." I said before narrowing my eyes. I saw that he gulped. He knew he was in for it. "Listen buddy you're not the one asking questions around here, I am!" I said loudly making my point.

He nodded his head in defeat.

"So what is a sayian? I mean Vegeta told me a vague history, but he never defined them. You look pretty normal to me... Unless you're under a disguise."

"Well If Vegeta told you what saiyans are, he must have told you that they were a powerful race that lived on a different planet."

I nodded my head.

"Well that's really all anyone has ever told me and my dad. Since my dad grew up on Earth, all of our friends consider us earthlings like you. Vegeta is the one that has the history. He has the most knowledge about it but I don't think he likes to talk about it all that much because it usually ends up with Freza who manipulated Vegeta. " He told me. "As for the looks an everything, sayians look like humans. This is what I actually look like. Saiyans are just a little bit tougher then humans are."

That's when I remembered what Vegeta had said about Gohan's father.

"Gohan why was your dad sent to Earth. Vegeta, he was joking about eliminating life here right?"

I watched as Gohan shook his head.

"No. My dad was sent here to eliminate the life on Earth. He was found by the Martial Arts master Gohan. He took my dad in as his grandson. From what I've heard my dad use to be an evil, vicious baby. But he fell down a ravine and hit his head. Grandpa Gohan didn't think dad was going to make it but he pulled through. But dad's memory was gone and after that he was a happy loving boy."

My mouth hung open in disbelief. This was the truth. Gohan truly was half alien and this wasn't just some sick joke.

"Do saiyans do anything special?" I asked slowly not sure I wanted to know what the answer was.

I watched his face with interest. It pulled into a smile and he laughed to himself for a moment before shaking his head. "No not really." he said. "Like I said we're just tougher."

"That's really the only difference? I asked skeptically.

He nodded his head and I looked back up toward the ceiling. I heard him chuckling next to me. "You just had to go ask Vegeta didn't you?" he asked.

"Well It's not like I was going to get any answers from you." I said quickly.

"Nosy." he mumbled.

"I still don't believe this." I said. "You look to normal to be part alien."

"So what you want me to be like purple with big eyes and antenna?" he asked glancing over at me.

I didn't reply. I only smiled. And from the corner of my eyes I saw him smile too. I turned my head and looked at him.

"You know.. You're taking this a lot better then I thought you would." he said.

"Well if you say the only difference is your toughness I guess I will believe you." I said simply.

He smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.

"So, when are you going to teach me how to fly?"

"Well Goten wants to learn how to fly too. I was thinking about teaching you both at the same time. It's really just ki control, so it really isn't a difficult thing to do. Eventually you'll be able to achieve incredible speed when you fly." he said.

"Ki control?" I asked curiously turning on my side to look at him. "What's ki exactly?"

"Huh?" he asked. "Ki is... Well it's what your father calls tricks. It flows inside your body. It's also called energy or power. To call it a trick is wrong. It's nothing like a trick at all."

"Then is it some kind of magic?" I asked. "But I can't do that."

"So..." he started slowly. "You don't know anything about ki at all? That's going to be a problem."

"I-Is there a way to fly without using ki?" I asked slightly worried about me flying future.

"It's okay! It's okay!" He said quickly with a grin. "Everyone has it. Controlling it is the hard part."

"Really?" I asked slowly.

"Sure."

"Let's start now!" I said excitedly. I jumped from my bed and grabbed his arm. I yanked him up and pulled him out of the room. Little did I see the two shadows by our door.

Erasa turned to Sharpner with a pout. "And I wanted to know what was wrong." she said. "I didn't hear anything did you?"

Sharpner shook his head and the two looked toward the speeding girl who was dragging their other friend away.

~~~~ ( ( Videl and Gohan.. Normal POV ) ) ~~~~

Videl sat across from Gohan in the grassy area far from the domes.

"Are you sure you wanna start now Videl?" He asked and when she nodded her head he sighed.

She watched him as he seemed to be thinking of a way to word how he was going to explain this to her. It seemed like a complex sort of thing. He smiled at her and she waited for instruction.

"Like I said Videl. Everyone has ki... You just have to find it." he said.

Videl gave him a determined smile. "I will." she said, smile never fading.

"I'll do it slowly first. That way you can watch me better and all."

His and came together. Like he was holding an invisible ball. His arms rested on his crossed legs. She watched as his shoulders and arms relaxed.

"The first thing you have to do, is make yourself completely calm." He said slowly. "Then you listen. To the center of your body, until you feel this pull. Then..." He trailed off.

Videl's eyes trailed from his face to his hands. Slowly there, in the palms of his hands appeared a small ball of light. She remembered it from the maids closet at her home.

"Oh.." she said.

"Just bring it out." He said with a small smile and he looked up at her face. He shyly backed off when she bent over and crawled closer toward the light in his hands.

"Cool isn't it." he said sheepishly. "Videl?"

Videl's eyes remained plastered on the cypher of light. Gohan laughed lightly and backed away from the girl. The light faded and he lowered his hands again.

"You ready to try?" He asked with a grin.

Videl looked at her hands wondering if she could actually do it. She moved them hesitantly and put them in the same position Gohan had his. She looked down confused but remembered the steps.

"Remember from the center." Gohan said.

Videl looked up at him for a moment before looking back down at her hands.

"Okay." she said sceptically.

Her eyes narrowed as she glared down at her hands in concentration trying her hardest to get it to work. Gohan watched as her muscles tensed and she began to quiver.

"You've got to relax." he said. "If your all tense like this, you'll never be able to bring it out."

Videl's hands dropped. She looked down at the ground for a moment before pulling her her head up to look at him. Tears pooled at the corners of her eyes and her eyes glistened. Her lips pulled into a sad frown. Gohan looked down at her shocked before he moved quickly over to her.

"What's wrong Videl?" he asked quickly. "Why are you crying?"

"I... I have to make this work." she said wiping her eyes quickly.

Gohan looked at her shocked before smiling softly. "Why don't we take a lunch break." he said. "You must be hungry. You didn't eat much this morning."

Videl nodded slowly. He frown slowly pulled up into a weary smile. "Yeah. I am kind of hungry."

Gohan got to his feet and offered her a hand. She took it slowly and he pulled her to her feet. She smiled up at him when she heard his stomach roar.

"Hungry?" she asked causing him to smile and scratch the back of his head sheepishly.
