Gohan and Videl (A DBZ FIC)

Hey ppl! I'm just sitting here...typing...yeah...I don't own DBZ and if I did...uh...hey do they really sell square watermelons in Japan??

Anyways, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 7 Stay Away From Videl

It was Monday morning now, the beginning of another school week. Gohan hadn't talked to Videl since the party, so he couldn't wait to talk to her now.

"I hope she isn't mad at me for leaving like that," Gohan said to no one as he flew to the roof of Orange Star Highschool in his Saiyaman outfit. He landed gracefully on the stone of the school roof and clicked the red button on his watch. The costume disappeared and Gohan began walking towards the door. That's when a familiar face came out from behind the rooftop entrance (if you remember from the TV show, it's built almost like a shed but it leads down into the school...sorry I'm used to putting in the details). Gohan's heart skipped a beat.

"Brian?!" Gohan yelped.

Brian stood tall and firm, staring at Gohan. "I knew it was you, you're the Great Saiyaman." Brian said. "I've been waiting for you."

Gohan was almost speechless, his jaw hung open a bit in shock. Then, Gohan narrowed his eyes. "And how did you know to wait for me up here?"

Brian paused, "Uh, I-" [Dammit, how could I be so stupid...? Now he'll be on to us!]. Brian stepped back a bit, and Gohan stepped closer to him.

"well?" Gohan practically growled to Brian, full of supsicion.

Brian, who looked very fearful, again stood tall and firm and held out his hand in a stop formation. "Gohan stop! I'm not here to give you away, but I'm just telling you to stay away from Videl!"

Gohans eyes widened, "What? You can't tell me to stay away from her! She's my-"

Brian spoke up, "Friend? I don't think so. Not after the stunt you pulled at her party. You can go and see for yourself, but afterwards, you stay away from her. Or I will give your identity away." With that said, Brian walked down the steps into the school, letting the rooftop doorway shut behind him. Gohan just stood there, frozen and speechless.

"So, Videl is mad at me? Oh no, I hope it isn't too bad."

Gohan opened the door and walked down the steps into the school. He was angry, really angry. If he'd been anything like Vegeta, he'd have knocked Brians block off just for giving him an intimidating look. But Gohan knew better than that.

He thought to himself, [Kami, please say she'll forgive me. I don't want to lose her.]

Gohan froze, "Lose her as a friend that is, nothing more than that. It's not like we're going out."

Unfortunately, Sharpner had heard Gohan talking to himself and walked over, "Talking to your imaginary lady friend Gohan?"

Gohan was startled and spun around. Sharpner just laughed and walked into class. Gohan reluctantly followed.

"Ha ha! Make sure you get my good side!" Hercule yelled triumphantely, raising his arms.

Cameramen surrounded Hercule, and a director sat in a chair, holding a megaphone and barking out orders. Hercule was back in town now, and was in front of his home doing a fruit punch commercial.

"Okay, now 5, 4, 3, 2...What the? Where is Charlie?!" The director yelled.

Hercule's eyes widened when the director yelled into the megaphone, [Damn, those things are loud.]

The director was looking around, his eyes wide. "We can't do this commercial without Charlie, where is he?!"

A woman stood up, she must have been an assistant director. The director decided to use her.

"You there, go check to see if Charlie is in the van!"

The woman growled but did as she was told, mumbling, "My name is Ms. Luvetz" She walked over to the van, and opened the door. "Pst! Charlie...Charlie, are you in-"

Hercule realized no one was paying him any mind now, "Hey, does anyone have a brick I can break?!"

The director sweatdropped, "Unfortuanately not, but I do have a-"

"AHHH!!!"

Everyone spun around to see the assistant director screaming at the van and running back to the director. She covered her face in her hands. The director was losing his patience.

"What the hell is going on?!" He yelled.

The woman tired to speak, but she was choking on her own breathing. She held onto one of the camera men, trying to keep her balance. She was shaking violently and she looked very pale.

"He's...*sniff* he's..."

"What?!" The director said. "Where is he?!"

"Take deep breaths," the cameraman that held onto her said. "Now, what happened?"

The woman took deep breaths and began to calm down. "Charlie...is......."

The director growled, and she managed to squeak out the last word.

"...dead..."

Videl pretended to be looking through her notes, not even bothering to look up at Gohan as he walked by. Almost the second Gohan sat down, she felt his finger prod against her shoulder gently. Videl turned around slowly.

"Videl, I-" Gohan began.

Videl glared. "Gohan, I have nothing to say to you. We're not friends, just leave me alone."

Gohan felt a shot of hurt from this remark. "But, why Videl?"

Videl frowned and practically yelled, "Because friends don't leave their friends in a crisis like that!"

Everyone stared over at them. Gohan decided to just leave Videl alone and try to get through the day without any trouble. Videl turned around, and Gohans face went red with embarassment from all the stares in his direction. He sighed, [Could this get any worse??]

****

"So, she's mad at you for leaving her? Well I don't blame her Gohan." Chi Chi said, as she washed off the dishes from supper.

Gohan sighed, "Mother, I had to leave because there might be some kind of a-"

His mother turned and glared, "Just because Piccolo told you there's a funny looking man who feels like a robot doesn't mean you get to leave Videl without her saying something about it. Why, if Goku had-"

Gohan ignored the hurt that arose in him and his mother when they spoke of Goku, "Mom! You and dad liked each other in...that way...I don't like Videl in that way! I-"

Chi Chi dropped the dishes in the sink and turned to Gohan, "Don't lie to me, the way you've talked about her, and that dream you had. And don't tell me it wasn't real..."

Gohan sighed, "Fine, I did dream about her, I did! But it meant nothing!"

Chi Chi just shook her head, "Look Gohan, I'm not going to get through to you. But here's what you should do. Go out and get her some nice flowers, go to her house and say your sorry. It'll work, trust me."

Gohans hesitated, "Uh Mom, Videl isn't the kind of girl who'll go for flowers. Trust me."

The next thing Chi Chi did would've sent Goku running, "Well Gohan, you're going to make it up to her, or you won't eat! Now get out, out!

"WAH!" Gohan yelled, dodging the frying pan as he ran out of the house. Chi Chi slammed the door shut. Gohan just shrugged and flew off towards town, making sure to click on his Saiyaman outfit. Ignoring the fact that his Mom had just chased him out with a frying pan, Gohan spoke softly to himself, "I'll get Videl something nice in town and tell her how much I want to be her friend, and I'll apologize for leaving. And I do intend to find out what that Brian kid is up to...yeah, I will..." Gohan flew off towards town, feeling a bit better than before.

Inside, Chi Chi caught her breath. "Well, at least now he might start admitting he likes her, I know he does."

Goten was in the living room laughing, because of the sight of seeing his older brother get chased out of the house. Chi Chi raised the frying pan. "Your next kiddo!"

Gotens squealed in fear and hid behind the couch. Chi Chi chuckled to herself and went back to the dishes.

****

The authorities were everywhere, and Hercule sat up in his master bedroom, eyeing out the window.

"How the hell did that guy get killed?" Hercule said to no one. "I mean, I was there. Everyone knows not to mess with me."

Hercule knew he was a fraud, but he wanted to hide that forever. He knew he wasn't the one who had defeated Cell, but he hid it from the world.

[Well, at least I'm up here in my bedroom where no one can bug me. Just-]

Hercule spun around as he heard the door creak open. But to his surprise, no one was there. Hercule got up off the bed and stared hard at the door. He started turning towards the window again.

"Well, wonder who that- AH!" Hercule screamed as he came face to face with a complete stranger.

The stranger smirked. He was a young man with shoulder length red hair. He wore a black vest, white pants, and black shoes with a golden line running the down the middle. He smirked at Hercule.

"Fear not Hercule, if you cooperate, you will live." The man spoke.

Hercule smirked and stood up. "You kill me?? Why I oughta- UGH!" Hercule kicked at the air as the man lifted him up by his throat and held him there. Hercule gasped for air.

"Hercule, sit down and be quiet." the young man said, dropping Hercule on the bed edge again. Hercule fell back onto the bed, rubbing his throat, which was now red from the force the man had applied.

"Okay okay," Hercule coughed out. "What do you want? Money? Women?"

The man smirked, "I want to strike a deal."

Hercule raised an eyebrow, "Uh...okay, and who are you?"

The man laughed to himself, "Who am I? I'm android 24, now shall we negotiate?"
