"Mom, pleease!" Gohan begged, giving his mother the best puppy dog eyes she'd seen a while. "Its Christmas, and she's all by herself."
With a sigh, Chichi said "Fine, I'll go make up the Guest room. . .but just because it's Christmas. . .and if I catch you two doing anything, you'll both be in big trouble. .got it?"
"I don't know what you mean mom, doing what?" Gohan said blushing.
"You know exactly what I mean, now go and call your brother for dinner."
"Thanks mom, but I'm not hungry, I'm gonna go and tell Videl, see you later!" he exclaimed, before his mother could protest, running out the door and taking off towards the City. Chichi just looked in shock and wonder, Gohan not wanting food?
"I guess love does to strange things to people." Chichi said in awe, before screeching "Goten! Time to eat!"
~*~
"Yes! She can come!" he shouted, doing a barrel roll in happiness. He streamed over to the Satan Mansion in record speed, a light snow dusting his hair and clothing. Gohan landed with the grace of a Saiyajin on the Videl's balcony, snow already starting to pile up outside. Wow, the snow is starting to come down pretty hard. He thought, looking up at the progressively growing snowflakes. Quietly pushing open the French doors, he stepped inside the large, spacious room. Immediately Gohan felt uncomfortable. This place is just too clean and big, I feel like I'm in a museum not a home he thought, quietly stepping onto the hardwood floor. Videl's room was sparse, all of the furniture, was a rich mahogany and looked to be very old and expensive. The icy blue of the wallpaper and curtains made the room cold, while the dark purple accents made it darker than it really should have been. Videl was obviously neat, all of her papers were stacked on her desk, and there seemed to be nothing out of place.
Then, he saw her. She was nearly lost in the huge canopy bed, curled up sleeping peacefully. She looks so beautiful when she sleeps, she's so happy and serene, she lets her guard down. Gohan said to himself, striding over to her bedside. Her now shoulder black length hair fanned out softly around her, a few strands resting on her cheek. Delicately, he tucked the strands behind her ear, brushing his fingers on her cheek.
"Huh?" Videl said groggily "Who's there?"
Gohan froze.
"Gohan!" she shrieked, jumping up off of her bed. "What are you doing here?!?"
"Uh. . Hi, Videl." Said Gohan sheepishly. Gulping he continued. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to come spend Christmas break at my house, I mean it's okay with my mom, and sense you're here all alone, I thought you'd like to come with us."
"Aww," she said, her heart melting. " You know I'd love to!" Videl paused. "But you still haven't explained why you're here, couldn't you have just called?" she asked sternly, placing her hands on her hips.
"S-Sorry." He stuttered. "I just wanted to come and tell you in person, and fly back with you, its starting to snow pretty hard and I wouldn't want you to get lost."
"I've been to your house a million times Gohan!" she exclaimed, her scowl turning into a grin. "I'd be fine, I have an excellent sense of direction!"
"Uh-huh, I'm sure Videl." He said with a wink "Like that time when were trying to drive home from the National park. . ."
"Oh shut up! It was one time that I had gotten lost okay!" she exclaimed good naturedly, pushing him lightly "You're never going to let me forget that are you?"
"Nope, not for the rest of your natural born life." He said with a smile.
"So you're going to be with me the rest of my life I see?" Videl asked, instantly regretting it. Whoops, that came out wrong. Videl said in her head.
There was an awkward silence between the two.
"Well, uh I'll start packing. You can look around the house if you'd like, no one else is here so you won't have to worry about disturbing someone." She said, pulling out a black gym bag from her closet.
"I'd rather just stay here if you don't mind." Gohan answered, kneeling in front of her bookshelf.
Shrugging, Videl turned to her dresser and began pulling out her clothes, neatly folding and placing them in her bag. I wonder what it will be like to spend a whole week at Gohan's house she wondered, turning into her bathroom It's just Gohan! I shouldn't be this nervous about it. She stared into her own reflection in her mirror, her black hair was tangled and flyaway from sleeping, and there were dark circles under her eyes from staying up studying for finals. Don't you look wonderful Videl she said to herself, grabbing a brush and running it through snarls in her hair. In the past, Videl could have cared less about her appearance, she was more focused on training and helping the police. Makeup and Fashion was too girly, and a waste of time, now she noticed that she was slowly starting to care.
"I swear, the next thing I know I'll be getting my hair dyed blonde and become one of those giggling ditzs at our school." She said to reflection in disgust. Still, she lingered at the mirror, adjusting her hair until it looked alright in her opinion. Changing into a comfortable pair of black corduroys and a green sweater, Videl pulled a black beanie over her head and was ready to go.
"Gohan?" she called, stepping out into her room.
"Come on, we should get going soon, looks like a bad storm is coming."
Nodding, she swung her gym bag and backpack on her shoulders, and prepared to fly.
"Here," Gohan said smiling warmly, and grabbing her bag "I'll take this for you."
"You don't have to Gohan, I can manage these two bags, I'm not a delicate female." She said, crinkling her nose
"I know, we'd better go now." Gohan answered , taking off and flying into the swirling snow, Videl followed straight after him.
Jeez, this storm is bad Videl thought, struggling to stay on course in the howling wind and follow Gohan. It took the two of them twice as long to get there than it normally did. The Son cottage was a little glowing haven in the drifts of white.
"You had me so worried Gohan!" Chichi fussed, pulling them in and giving them hot chocolate and nice warm stew. "You shouldn't be flying in weather like that it's dangerous you know!"
"Sorry mom, the weather just kind of suddenly turned on us, you know." Gohan responded in between gulps of stew, he was starving.
"Well, I don't want you two getting sick." She lectured, turning the thermostat up a few degrees.
"Hey Videl, Hey Gohan!" a cheerful voice said happily running into the room.
"Yeah, hey you guys."
"Hey Trunks, Goten. What's going on?" Gohan asked, smiling down at them.
"We're pirates! Do you want to play with us? Goten questioned eagerly.
"Hmm, maybe later guys, okay?" Videl said, sinking to her knees so that she'd be the height of the two.
"Okay!" called Trunks, pulling Goten into the next room.
"You're so lucky Gohan." Videl said with a sigh, going into the living room with him.
"Why?" he asked obliviously
"You've got a family, I've always wanted a mom and little siblings." She said wistfully, curling up on the couch.
"Well, you come here enough to practically be family you know." Gohan answered with his classic smile.
"I suppose." She said sadly, "but it's not the same."
"Come on, lets not have a pity party, what do you want to do while you're here?" he asked
"Hmm, watch a movie?" she suggested, unable to think of anything else to do.
"Sure, now what one. . . "
After arguing for a few minutes over whether to watch Army of Darkness, or Night of the Living Dead, the pair finally decided on a movie they would both enjoy. Fight Club.
I wonder what's wrong with me Videl thought, still not being able to shake that feeling of being watched. She could hear Goten and Trunks up in his room, and Chichi was washing dishes in the next room.

"Any leads?" a stiff voice asked behind him. Surprised, the guard fell from the chair he was leaning on, spilling coffee all over his once crisp uniform. He could see his commanding officer standing above him.
"No ma'am, I'm sorry ma'am, We haven't learned anything we don't already know."
With a sharp sigh, she said "It's alright Private Schwarz, just tell me what you know."
"Well," he said, rubbing his shaved head. "The female human is very strong, and has the abilities of flying just like the Aliens, however she isn't as strong as Alien number one, and she can not change her appearance like the others."
"Interesting." She said with a smirk. "So you haven't found any weaknesses within the aliens yet?"
"Besides emotion ones, no ma'am, no psychical ones." The Private answered uneasily.
"Hmm." She said, pausing to think.
"Yes ma'am?" he asked shakily.
"Just keep watching them Private, write down where exactly they are at all times and what they're doing. Also send a team to bug Alien number 3's home."
"Yes ma'am, I'll get right on it."
"Good." And with that, she turned and walked out, her pump heels echoing
down the corridor.
"Ugh, that woman is frightening." The private said with shudder, knowing she was gone. "She'd be hot if she wasn't such a bitch."
I suppose my father was right. The woman thought to herself, a small smile crossing her lips If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself
