Disclaimer: Don't own it. I don't feel like attempting any jokes today…

Okay, if you're a fan of my fics, you probably have noticed that I like to do song fics. Well, it's true, I do! So, now that we're at the party, I decided to write a song fic to the song "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed. I don't think the song is relevant till the end though. Anyway, you be the judge at that! Enjoy, cause this is probably the last chapter to this fic, unless I get a lot of demand to somehow write more…but I'll worry about it when the time comes.

Shadowspinner- I think the same way as you do. I think up bad things that can happen to people, or what I would to if a friend dies. I don't think it's healthy.

To the nameless person- I'm sorry I made you cry. Was that a good thing, or a bad thing?

Pinkchibiusa- Wow! It was heartbreaking? I hope I didn't make you cry too. I don't like to see people cry.

-_-,

Vaarj-OH MY GOD! I AM SO SORRY! I am a total idiot. I swear, it looked like an "i".

 I blame it being unlined. I slapped myself in the head a couple times for you, and I got Vegeta to hit me, too! He loved it, of course.

This is still going to be in first person from Videl's P.O.V. It might switch to Gohan later, but I don't know. Just watch out for sudden switches in P.O.V. k? k.

This chapter is for Vaarj! (See….i spelled it right this time!) Here's your chapter of the party!

Oh, and another note to everyone: The lyrics are NOT part of the letter. They're just there for the sake of the story.

Enjoy!

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

Dear Daddy,

   I don't expect you to be here. I know you promised. But you do that a lot. So, I'll just have to tell you almost every detail.

Well I just heard the news today

It seems my life is going to change

I closed my eyes, begin to pray

Then tears of joy stream down my face

I wait anxiously in the ballroom. It's so huge. God, I haven't been in here since I was eight. That was when…that was when mom died, wasn't it dad? It was. Wow. I can't believe I haven't been in here since. It's beautifully decorated. Streamers are up on the ceiling, and balloons are being used as the centerpieces on the table.  Flowers are on the windowsills, and a DJ is setting up on the side of the room. You know I don't like to overdo things, but the decorators were so thrilled about the party, I let them go all out. It is my eighteenth birthday, after all.

I'm wearing a dress dad. Surprising, isn't it? Eraisa helped me out with it, of course. It's a long blue, strapless dress. I actually like it. My hair is French braided into two pigtails. It looks really pretty. I'm not wearing much makeup. I refuse to wear a lot and look like a clown. Eraisa tried hard to get me to wear it, but she needs to remember that it's me she's talking to.

The DJ finally starts to play music as Sharpner and Eraisa walk in. They're the first ones here, of course. Eraisa smiled and ran over to me, giving me a huge hug. I'm happy she's here. She looks amazing herself. She's wearing a low cut green dress with spaghetti straps. It comes down to about her knees. Sharpner is well…Sharpner. We'll leave it to that. He gives me a hug too, and leaves one arm around my shoulder. God, I hate it when he does that. I move away from him to see some other people I know. I can tell he's confused. What an idiot…

Gohan's not here yet. Where is he? Late, I guess. Typical him. He has to make a 500-mile trip, but it shouldn't take him that long. He can fly, you know. It usually takes him only 5 minutes to get to school. I'm stuck dancing with Sharpner again. My heads wanders around in search for him. I sigh. No luck there. I hope he remembered.

Well I don't know if I'm ready

To be the man I have to be

I'll take a breath, take her by my side

We stand in awe, we've created life

(Gohan's P.O.V. not part of Videl's letter)

I walked into the room quickly. Oh man, am I late. Videl is going to kill me. Which was to the room. Oh yeah, follow the music. That'll get me there. I'm going get Goten and Trunks later for this. They hid all my clothes and then set traps. Yes, they will pay.

I finally found the room. Wow, is it big. There are a lot of people here too. I wonder where Videl is. Everyone looks great. I search the room for her. I see her dancing with Sharpner. Oh well, no offense taken. She was probably either forced into it, or she was bored. She looks beautiful. I had never seen her in a dress before. Eraisa must have helped her. There's no way Videl could have picked that out herself. I find myself in a trance. I can't take my eyes off of her. Wow, is she gorgeous.

I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. It ends up being Eraisa. Great. I roll my eyes and look at her. We're both silent, then she speaks.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?"

I couldn't speak. Wow, she wasn't here to hit on me. It's a miracle. I nod my head.

"You like her a lot, don't you?"

I nod my head again.

"Okay, I'll take care of it" Eraisa smiles softly at me, and quickly walked over to Sharpner and Videl. I see Eraisa and Videl talking, and Eraisa dances with Sharpner.

Now everything has changed

I'll show you love

(Back to Videl's P.O.V part of the letter)

Wow! Gohan's finally here! I look over at Eraisa gratefully. I walk over to Gohan and ask him to dance. I knew he would never do it, because he's too shy. I grab his hand and pull him onto the dance floor, and wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist. I don't think I've ever been that close to him before. My eyes dart around the room. I'm searching dad, where are you? You promised you'd be here. Another broken promise, is it? Probably is. My eyes are starting to fill with water again. I look around hoping to see you again. You're not here. I look up at Gohan and a tear falls. He wipes it away. He knows what's wrong. I told him everything. Gohan told me not to worry. He's sure you'll be here. I wish I could believe him. He pulls me closer to him and I rest my head on his chest.

If I had just one wish

Only one demand

I hope he's not like me

I hope he understands

That he can take this life

And hold it by the hand

And he can greet the world

With arms wide open...

I close my eyes and think about you. I wish you could be here daddy. I'm sorry you're not. Is it me, daddy? Am I the reason you won't come? Do I hurt you that much inside? I'm sorry dad. I wish you were here. You'd be so proud of me. You'd be so—

Gohan shakes me and points to the side. The crowd split, and I can see why. I feel a huge smile come across my face. I look at Gohan, who nods his head. Dad! It's you! You came! I look at you in the doorway, holding the bouquet of flowers. Wow, I can't believe it's you. You came. You didn't break your promise. You stopped everything for me? I feel so special now dad. I fee like I'm the luckiest person alive.

I run over to you. Well, the best without tripping over myself. Remind me never to wear heels again. I give you a hug and you hand me the flowers. Wow, are they gorgeous. I love them. The smell is wonderful. You kiss me on the head and bring me to the dance floor. The crowd parts as we step through. I don't like that. They should all be dancing too. You look at me. Tears start to fill your eyes. I'm glad that you're happy daddy. I'm so happy.

"I'm here Videl. Happy Birthday." He whispers to me, smiling. I say nothing. My joy is indescribable. My life is perfect now. It makes sense, dad.

Thank you so much for coming Dad. It made the night perfect.

I hope you liked that! Unfortunately, this is probably the last part to this fic, unless you want me to write more, of course. If you do, you'll have to tell me the ideas, and maybe I'll do them, cause I'm fresh out. I hope this song fit well enough too. I figured since the song is about a guy who is about to become a father (actually, I think this might have been recorded right before the lead singer's baby was born.) So, I thought it fit since its Videl and her father. If you don't think it does, I'm sorry. Anyway, look for more stuff like me! (Oh, and I have two other fics out also. ^_^)

I don't know why I did that whole thing from Gohan's P.O.V. It has nothing to do with the actual fic. I just took the opportunity to make something sweet happen between Gohan and Videl. ^_^ I'm a sucker for V/G stories! ^_^
