True Love

Chapter 2: "What's Wrong, Videl?"

AN: I guess you liked it! Please don't hesitate to review again! As requested, I have decided to add more detail, it does need it. Anyway, please review! I'm begging you! *Gets down on her knees* Please review!



Gohan had started back in Videl's direction. He had traveled for miles, and still hadn't found the end of the body piles. He had given up- for now.

He searched for Videl, seeing as he couldn't remember where he had started when he began searching. They were definitely going to be late for school now.

As he took to the air, he ran through all his thoughts about his mission. He HAD to get Videl to go with him to the spring dance. He HAD to. He had decided earlier that day that he would simply ask her casually if she was going, and then if she said yes, he'd just say he MIGHT see her there. It was perfectly well thought out. It had worked before in movies, so he hoped it would work in real life as well.

As Gohan slid this topic out of his head, he remembered the body situation. He continued looking for his friend. When he thought he caught sight of her, he flew toward the ground, and when he landed, he found Videl laying unconscious, amongst the other people.

"Videl!" Gohan cried, bending down to pick her up. He shook her gently, but she didn't stir.

"Damn," he said to himself. "Whatever it was, it attacked her while I was gone. But she doesn't have any bruises, except here on her arm, but she had that mark this morning," Gohan indicated once again to himself.

He thought about taking her home, but Mr. Satan would think it was all Gohan's fault. He pondered on his situation more and realized Chi Chi might help Videl and then yell at Gohan about not going to school. He decided that the only place he could go was to see Bulma. Then he could also ask her to figure out what might have happened and he could get her to help him fix his Saiyaman costume, which had been torn for some time now. People had began calling him the Great Hole-man. That name wasn't too appealing.

He returned his thoughts to Videl and gently lifted her in to his arms. Then he took off to the air and headed east to Bulma's house.

As he passed all the houses, he took a notice to the bodies that he passed on his way to Bulma's. They seemed to continue on forever.

What on Earth was happening? Why was everyone unconscious? Gohan was starting to be frightened.

He decided to see if anything about this was on the news when he arrived. But he didn't think so. There weren't any cameras, reporters, or even police on the streets. If there were any, they were probably unconscious too. Gohan knew one thing. They needed the Z Fighters.

As he reached Bulma's home, he "pulled over" and went inside. Bulma had given him a key since he was over so often nowadays to see Mirai Trunks, who had stopped in for a while.

"Bulma, come here quick!" he yelled once he entered. Bulma came rushing in the room. When she saw Videl, she panicked.

"Gohan, what happened!" she cried, taking Videl from Gohan's arms and heading toward her lab.

"We were on our way to school when we saw like," he paused to count in his head, "thousands of bodies strewn all over the streets. They didn't even seem to end. There wasn't a conscious soul around!" he explained. Bulma looked surprised.

"What happened to Videl?"

"I'm not sure. I went to go see where the trail of people ended, but I gave up and came back, and she was lying there too," he said truthfully.

Bulma nodded and looked down at Videl.

"Can you help her?"

"I don't know. She doesn't have any bruises or any clues for me to follow. But I promise you I'll try my best Gohan," she replied and ushered the distraught boy from the room.
