Gohan and Videl (A DBZ FIC)
Hello again, hope you liked the last chapter. And I hope you like this one too. ^_^
I don't own DBZ, but I intend to in the next life, when the world is ruled by DAMNED DIRTY APES!
Chapter 8 Please Forgive Me
"Android wha?" Hercule forced out a laugh. The red haired man glared and Hercule cringed back.
The man spoke quietly, no emotion in his voice. "I am an Android. I was created 7 and a half years ago by the genius Dr. Gero," Android 24 said. "I was considered too dangerous to be released according to the backup files on the cold storage backup computer. Dr Gero must've known I would have rebelled on him, though he was a genius, he didn't realize the dangers of mixing human with android. I knew this from the few moments I spent online. Then he shut me away, never to see light again. He was smart enough to know I might betray him."
Hercule was half confused, half scared. He didn't have the slightest clue what this crazy bozo was talking about.
"And then I awoke from my cold, harsh sleep. I was weak, I lacked so much energy, I could barely even move. This was seven years ago. I opened the trapdoor above me to get up to the main lab, but to my astonishment, the lab had been blown apart and the main computer was offline. Dr Gero was dead too, he must've been killed by some of his other creations. The only thing supplying power now were the breakers in cold storage. I went back into my cryo tank, to sleep again. I was too tired to move."
Hercule listened, since he had no choice. Then it dawned on him, "Seven years ago?! That's when I beat Cell!"
The android laughed softly, "You're a fraud, it was not you who beat Cell. Because if you had beat Cell, then you wouldn't be letting me shove you around. Not that you'd be able to defeat a superior being such as myself."
Hercule wanted this guy out of his house as soon as possible, "Umm, can I ask a question?"
The android nodded, "You may."
Hercule practically spat out, "W...what is this...d..deal?"
The android smirked, "Oh, straight to the business huh? Well, I'm trying to catch Saiyaman. You're going to help me set a trap..."
Hercule blinked, "Saiyaman, wait a sec. That's that guy who wears a tin can on his head! He's always showing up when my daughter is doing her job. Grr, sometimes I just want to take people like that and-"
"Then help me catch him in a trap Hercule," the android said. "I don't want to arrouse any suspicion, so if you say this to anyone, I'll make sure you're...terminated..."
Hercule gulped. The android continued.
"The plan is this...I'm going to use one of my...friends...to make it look like he's been kidnapped. He'll be held hostage in a building. When Videl comes along, Saiyaman is bound to show up. And when Saiyaman shows up, I will have someone to take him down. When he is down, you supply the media and we'll unmask him. You can even take credit for taking him down. This plan also includes making Saiyaman look guilty for the crime."
Hercule gulped, "How do I know you won't kill me?
Android 24 smirked, "You'll just have to hope I dont. If you want to live, you really have no choice but to do what I say."
Hercule nodded slowly, "So you've got dirt on this guy too huh?"
The android shrugged, "You could say so."
Hercule sighed, still shivering from fear, "I'll help you then, but why do you want him?"
The android turned to the window, which was now open. "None of your concern, Hercule, don't try to get buddy buddy with me, or I'll kill you like I did that guy in the van. I'm taking my leave now. I'll let you know when the time is right."
Hercule nodded, relieved that the intruder was leaving, "Okay, good bye, uh...yeah..."
The android smirked and flew off, blazing like a white fireball. He was so fast, no one down below even saw him. Hercule just stared in awe and then cowered under his bed in fear. He placed his hands over his head and cringed in fear.
"Ghhh....Why does this always have to happen to meeee???" Hercule whined.

"Well Gohan, I think you should take your moms advice and buy Videl some flowers, it might help." Bulma said.
Gohan had made a stop at Bulmas place for advice on how to become friends with Videl again. Bulma was good at giving advice on these kinds of things.
"Well, I guess so," Gohan said quietly. "But..."
Bulma frowned, "Let me guess, no money?"
Gohan nodded, then his eyes widened when Bulma thrusted a handful of zenni into his face. Gohan pushed it away.
"No, that's okay Bulma, you don't-"
"Oh be quiet Gohan," Bulma said. "You are going out and getting that girl some flowers, now!" And with that said, she smacked the money in Gohans hand. Gohan sweatdropped and pocketed the money.
"Thanks Bulma," he said.
"No biggie," Bulma replied with a smile, just as Vegeta came through the door. Vegeta took one look at Gohan and rolled his eyes.
"Do you always have to stop here, brat? Do you think I like having you here?!" Vegeta bellowed.
Bulma smirked, "Don't worry Gohan, he doesn't mean it."
Vegeta smirked. Out from behind him, came Trunks. Trunks' eyes beamed up to Gohan and he smiled big.
"Gohan!" Trunks said. "What's up??"
Gohan shrugged, "Nothing much Trunks."
Trunks snickered, "I heard you have...a girlfriend...and she's mad at you!"
"Trunks!" Bulma yelled, which made Trunks shut up. Bulma turned back to Gohan, "Now go get her some nice flowers, okay?"
Gohan nodded. "I will."
Vegeta laughed. Gohan turned to him just as he was leaving. "What's so funny Vegeta?"
Vegeta smirked, "Kid, if you want to make a woman happy, all you have to do is reach down there and find-"
Bulma hissed, "VEGETA!!!!"
Vegeta's glare shot to her. "Okay woman, how old is he again?!"
Gohan just rolled his eyes and left the house, not really knowing what Vegeta was talking about.

Videl stared up the ceiling, her music blaring. She was curled up on her bed, trying to forget how she'd yelled at Gohan.
"He must think I'm a total bitch," Videl said. "But, wait...well, it's his fault for leaving like that!"
Videl glanced at her clock. It was a little after eight pm. She stood up and decided to get changed. She changed into a light blue night gown and checked her hair in front of her mirror.
[I'll bet Erasa does this for hours on end], Videl said to no one. The next thing that happened made her jump. Someone had knocked on her balcony window. She spun towards it.
"Who could that be?!" Videl said, feeling startled. She picked up a weight from the floor and held onto it so she could bash the guy on her balcony on the head. She parted the curtains, opened the door quickly and...
"HAA!!" Videl bellowed out, lifting the weight above her head and-
Gohan yelped, "WHA VID-"
Gohan fell to the ground, rubbing his head. Videls eyes widened when she saw who she'd hit. She quickly dropped the weight and knelt down in front of Gohan.
"Gohan, I'm so sorry! Are you okay??" Videl said, her eyes wide with concern. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him nod his head. Then she remembered she was mad at him. She shoved him away.
"Now, what are you doing on my balcony?!" Her eyes went back to her usual glare.
Gohan stood up slowly, the flowers behind his back. "Videl, please! I'm sorry I left you that night, it's just-"
Videl was almost in tears now, but she held them back. [No I won't cry, not for him, not for anyone].
Gohan fell to his knees and planted his hands on the floor. He said, his voice almost a whisper, "I haven't been completely honest with you, and I don't deserve to be your friend. But please, give me a chance to tell you...everything."
Videl looked down at him, her glare slowly diminishing. She started to smile when she saw the flowers fall from behind his back.
"Gohan," she said softly. "I've just been...ditched a lot in the past...it hurts, so something like this was, well you know. It affected me more than it would have affected someone else. I just...you told me how much you wanted to be my friend and then you just leave me like that in the face of danger."
Gohan shivered, not making eye contact with her, his eyes beamed at the floor. "V...Videl, I...I meant it, all of it...and I want to explain to you..all...every..thing...ev-" Gohan tried to speak some more, but his sadness overwhelmed him and he did something which would have made Vegeta howl with laughter for weeks on end.
Videl looked at him, her jaw hung open. [He's...kami, is he crying?]
Gohan shivered, his tears dripping on the floor. He wanted to stop crying in front of her but he couldn't. [Great, Videl is going to think your a complete wimp now!]
But no, she knelt down in front of him and placed her hand on his head. She then lifted him up and pulled him into a hug. Gohan slowly hugged her back.
"Vee...Videl... I'm sor-" Gohan began to say.
"No," Videl said. "I'm sorry."
Gohan nestled his head against her shoulder and they held their embrace for what seemed like an eternity, but it was really only a couple of minutes. Then, they pulled away. They were both a little red in the face. As Gohan moved back, his hand brushed over the flowers.
"I...got these for you," Gohan said, going pink in the face. He handed the pink carnations to Videl. She smiled.
"Gohan, that's so sweet," she said, feeling completely out of character but not caring anymore. "Thanks."
Gohan sighed with relief [Phew, I'm glad she likes them.] He stood up and wiped away the last of his tears.
"Videl, I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm going to show you who I...well, really am..."
Videl blinked a few times. "Umm, ok..." She then stood up, putting the flowers on her dresser. She did not take her eyes off of Gohan for a second. [What's he going to show me?]
Gohan gulped, hoping she wouldn't be too mad. He reached for the red button on his watch. Sweat began to pour down his forehead. His finger touched onto the button and just as he was about to push down on it-
BAM! The bedroom door flew open.
A/N: Ooh, is this another cliffhanger ppl? I hope so, I love making those.
Read and Review plz! Hope you enjoyed ^_^
