~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bye America!!" David yelled as the plane took off.

"I'm really gonna miss this place." Natalie said sadly.

"I'm not surprised! With all the guys you met." Videl joked as Natalie blushed.

"I'm gonna miss the food!" Gohan said.

"You would." Everyone replied.

"So where are we headed now?" Lindsey asked.

"We're a bit behind schedule since we spent two months in America so…" Gohan started.

"Short version man." Nicholas said.

"We have time to stop off in one city in Europe for three weeks so that we can properly enjoy ourselves." Gohan said.

"Paris!!" Videl yelled.

"Do you know how to speak French?" Lindsey asked rather harshly. Videl shrank down as Natalie gave Lindsey a weird look.

"Well how about London?" David said.

"Yeah!! London baby!" Nicholas cracked.

"I'll go tell the pilot." Lindsey said getting up. There was an odd silence between the other five.

"Yes no maybe." Nicholas started to sing.

"Oh crap." David muttered.

"I don't know!" Natalie joined in.

"Please guys! Not here! Not now!" Gohan said.

"Can you repeat the question?? You're not the boss of me now! You're not the boss of me now! You're not the boss of me now! And you're not so big!!" Nicholas and Natalie sang as the other three slapped their foreheads.

IN THE COCKPIT…

"Set a course for London, England please." Lindsey said.

"Sure ma'am. I assume that all things are going according to plan." The pilot said.

"Yes. By the time this trip is over my mission will be accomplished." Lindsey said smiling evilly. She made her way back to find Nicholas and Natalie in a chorus of the Malcolm In The Middle theme tune. (I love that show!)

"OH WOULD YOU TWO PLEASE SHUT UP??!" Lindsey yelled. Natalie's eyebrow started to twitch.

"Excuse me?? Just coz I'm having a little fun doesn't mean you can shout at me!" Natalie said.

"Hey calm down." David said.

"Well, I'm not acting like a five year old! Maybe you should try acting your age instead of your IQ size." Lindsey said smugly. Natalie got up to hit her but Gohan held her back.

"Nat, calm down!" Gohan said. **Damn, for a human she sure is strong! I can barely hold her without powering up a little.**

"No! I don't care if she is smarter and older than me that doesn't make her my boss!" Natalie said. Videl stifled a giggle.

"Oh? Do you think this is funny?!" Lindsey snapped. "Well maybe you should side with red-head over here!"

"MY HAIR IS NOT RED YOU BLONDE BIMBO! No offence Davie." Natalie said.

"None taken." David replied.

"Okay, you know what? We've got an eight-hour plane journey in front of us. The last thing we need is a catfight!" Gohan reasoned.

"Hey! I don't fight like a cat!" Natalie said but she walked off anyway.

"Lindsey, what the hell was that?" Gohan asked.

"To be honest. I'm not sure." Lindsey said as she started to cry and latched onto Gohan. He had no choice but to comfort her. David and Nicholas looked at each other.

EIGHT HOURS LATER…

"No!" Natalie said folding her arms.

"Aw c'mon!" Nicholas pleaded.

"Nuh uh!" Natalie insisted.

"But she cried!" David said.

"So what?! I never said she didn't!" Natalie replied.

"Just do it!" Gohan said.

"Well excuse me Mr Nike but I'm not gonna apologise for something I didn't do. Maybe that'll show her HOW STUPID I AM!!" Natalie said, deliberately shouting the last part.

"Leave it out! She feels horrible enough as it is!" Nicholas pleaded.

"Oh excuse me! So I've wounded her pride, have I?" Natalie said. (ALERT: Duo Maxwell quote.)

"Please Nat!" David said.

"Sure! I'll apologise!" Natalie said.

"Really?!" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, oh wait this just in. Hell has now frozen over." Natalie said as the boys face-faulted.

"WILL EVERYBODY PLEASE PUT ON THEIR SEATBELTS? WE ARE ABOUT TO LAND AT GATWICK AIRPORT. THANK YOU!" The pilot said. The gang got out of the airport and took a taxi to a hotel. Yet again there were only three rooms.

"I'll take this one." Videl said.

"Then I'm bunking with you V." Natalie said as they both walked off. Nicholas and David took another room.

"Well Gohan, I guess it's just you and me." Lindsey said.

"Great." Gohan said. **Just great. In the words of Charlie Brown, oh good grief!**

After the gang had settled in their rooms they had decided to go out for a while. Of course there were some problems to overcome.

"Why are there two cars?!" Videl yelled, looking at the two convertibles.

"Insurance reasons. Not allowed more than five people in a car." Gohan explained. "I'll drive in this one!" Gohan said as he, Videl and Lindsey got in one car.

"I guess I should be afraid. He hasn't got a license." Videl joked.

"Well I guess that leaves us with this one." Nicholas said.

"Which side of the freakin road am I supposed to be driving on?!" David yelled. Natalie pushed pass him.

"Let the pro show you how it's done man." Natalie said climbing into the driving seat. Nicholas and David promptly turned blue. She was actually quite good until she saw Gohan driving very…carefully into the M25. (A/N: ^_^)

"PLEASE NAT!! FOR THE LOVE OF AUTOMATIC DRIVING DON'T DO IT!!" Nicholas yelled.

"I must. It's my destiny." Natalie said, as David looked on, confused. "Zero system has told me so." She put the top down.

"Oy vey." Nicholas muttered. Natalie put the pedal to the metal as she gunned to catch up and pass Gohan.

Meanwhile…

"Gohan sweetie, this is the motorway. There's no need to drive like an old lady out here." Videl said. (A/N: I suppose you know where this is going. Hehe.) Natalie gunned pass Gohan.

"WOOHOO!!" Natalie yelled.

"Huh?!" Gohan said.

"Eat my dust Grandma!" Natalie yelled. Gohan grabbed the wheel in anger.

"IS THAT A CHALLENGE?! BECAUSE IF IT'S A RACE YOU WANT THEN IT'S A RACE YOU'LL GET!!" Gohan shouted as he hit the accelerator. The two continued racing until they got off the M25 and…didn't know where they were. They pulled into a gas station.

"This is so your fault!" Lindsey yelled at Natalie. Natalie just growled through her teeth and walked off yelling.

"I AM NOT GONNA GET BLAMED FOR THIS AGAIN!!"

Nicholas went after her.

"I'm gonna go ask for directions." Videl said.

"We don't need to ask for directions." Gohan replied.

"Hmph. Typical male." Videl said walking off.

"I'd better go help her. She might not understand the London accent." David said going after her.

"Well looks like it's just the two of us." Lindsey smiled. Gohan just laughed nervously.

MEANWHILE…

"Nat, you need to calm down!" Nicholas said.

"No. I need to kick some ass!!" Natalie replied. "She's been picking on me for no damn reason! Can we please change the subject?"

"Okay, why did New York happen?" Nicholas asked.

"That…totally came out of nowhere." Natalie said gob smacked.

"No it didn't. It has been bugging me for a long time now and I want to know what it was about."

"Nicholas Julian Summers, this is the last thing I need right now." Natalie said. Nicholas was shocked beyond all words. This was the first time Natalie had called him by his full name in years.

"I'm not sure what you mean." Nicholas said.

"Just remember. I am NOT a void-filler. I am a human being with feelings Nicholas and you can't just expect me to be all Hollywood and just fall into your arms when you click your fingers. We are friends and I'd like it to stay that way."

"Are you saying that it meant absolutely nothing to you?! Huh?!"

"I said that I want us to be friends." Natalie said as she walked back to the car.

WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING…

"David, maybe you should calm down." Videl said.

"No! I'm not gonna stand around while some cockney tells me I'm a typical tourist! I wasn't driving the freakin car!" David yelled as he took the map and walked out.

"Geez, I'm beginning to think I'm the only sane one left." Videl muttered. They walked out to find Lindsey and Gohan on opposite sides of the car. David raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, do you think jet-lag is getting to us?" David asked as Videl laughed. Natalie and Nicholas came out, also with grim faces. "I guess that answered my question." Videl laughed harder. Everyone got into their cars except David was driving. They finally got in to the inner city and stopped at Chocodeero. (Chocodeero is this big fun place. It has EVERYTHING!!)

"Woah!!! This place is amazing, isn't it Gohan? Gohan?" Videl said but Gohan had already spotted the ice-cream factory.

"WAHOO!" He yelled running towards it. Videl just shook her head. Meanwhile Natalie and David had run off to the Pepsi Drop, which was this ride that took you up about 50ft and then when you least expect it, it drops you until you are about 1ft off of the ground. Needless to say they were legless when they came off.

ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER…

"Who wants to go again?!!!" David yelled.

"Dave, I feel sick man." Gohan replied.

"I'm not surprised! You have been eating gallons of ice cream infested with hot fudge chocolate, Smarties and sprinkles for the last three hours! Then you went on the Pepsi drop!" Videl laughed. Gohan just looked ill.

"Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I wanna go to bed!" Natalie moaned. David just laughed.

LATER THAT NIGHT…

Long after everyone else was asleep Lindsey was still up contacting her 'bosses'. She had asked them if her plan was working but…

"Nothing has changed Lieutenant. You are failing your mission!"

"I don't understand it!! I've already split one couple and I'm working on the second. It's just that Gohan and Videl are a different story." Lindsey explained.

"Well we've given you the pen now start re-writing!" The aliens switched off.

"Damn, that pun was horrible. Well it's time I put Videl out seeing as I have nothing left up my sleeve." Lindsey said. She took out a small keypad and suddenly a loud bang was heard. "Excellent."

IN NATALIE AND VIDEL'S ROOM…

"Owww…" Natalie groaned as Videl ran out in shock to go get the boys. Natalie's entire abdomen was marinated with blood. A wild gunshot was set off and had put her in a critical condition. Her face was turning pale and she was losing blood fast. The other four came rushing in with Videl and almost fainted at the sight. Gohan picked up the phone to call the ambulance.

"What's the number?!" Gohan asked frantically.

"911!" David replied.

"To THIS country!"

"999." Videl replied.

"Thank you!"

"Oh my God. Natalie." Nicholas murmured softly. He felt helpless, as he could do nothing for her. Her breathing was off rhythm.

AT THE ROYAL LONDON HOSPITAL, WHITECHAPEL…

"Here's the coffee." Gohan said, dishing out the cups of coffee.

They had been there for the last hour. Before Natalie had gone into surgery she had asked Gohan not to call her father as she didn't want him to worry and she was sure she would be fine. But the doctors weren't as sure. 'It's not an ordinary bullet wound. It seems more advanced than out arsenal.' DCI Mason had told them. 'We're not sure if she's going to live.'

Videl had another worry. Although she felt horribly selfish thinking this she knew that she was the one who could have been in that hospital bed. After all, she had asked Natalie to swap beds since she wanted to be away from the window. She was so close to death that the thought scared her. After another hour the doctor came out with a solemn look on his face.

"How is she doctor?! Will she be alright?" Nicholas asked.

"I don't know how to say this." The doctor said as he paused to think of the right thing to say.

End of this part…

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!! CLIFFHANGER!!! YES!! I'm sorry but…you wanted the next part and you got it!! Tell me what you liked, disliked, what you found funny and what you think is going to happen to Natalie?
