Chapter 13: Lunch at the Son's House

   "Okay Dad! I'm off to school. Bye!" Videl  yelled from the doorway. She waited for her father to respond.

   "Okay Videl. See you later!" Videl listened for a second and heard her father screaming at the television. She rolled her eyes and shut the door. He was watching himself fight again. She didn't understand anyone could watch themselves so many times. "Typical" She thought to herself. Slinging her backpack over her shoulder, she headed to school for her first day of school as a senior.

   Videl looked up at the building. "Well, another year of torture. Thank god the last." She said quietly. Her head drooped, and she walked silently in, despite of all the people greeting her. She walked over to her locker, and tried to remember the combination. Seniors got to keep the same lockers as their junior year.

   "Damn what was is? 4-9-10, or 10-9-4?" She banged her locker, getting frustrated  that is wouldn't open.

   "Videl, it's 10-5-2." A voice behind her said. Videl tried it, and miraculously, it opened. She turned around to thank the person. It was Sharpner.

   "Oh, hi Sharpner. How did you know my combination?"

   Sharpner laughed. "You've forgotten it so many times, I figured I'd just memorize it for you."

   "Oh, um…thanks"

   "So, Videl. How was your summer? I bet it was exciting!" Sharpner said, put his arm around her shoulders.

   " No, actually. It was really boring." She lied to Sharpner. He would never understand. "Yeah, not exciting. I got kidnapped by a crazy mad scientist, got beaten up by some bio-android, and watched the most important person in my life die. How more exciting can  it get?" She added, as an afterthought. She shuddered and took Sharpner's arm off her shoulders. "How was you're summer?"

   "It was quite good actually. I got to—" The bell rung, and they had to go to class. Videl silently thanked Dende, (who she had become to know quite well) for making the bell ring. She did not want to know about Sharpner's vacation.

   Videl headed to the top row of the classroom. She sat down, and put her head on the desk. "Here we go…the last year of high school, finally." She heard someone sit down beside her. She knew who it would be. She lifted her head and looked at her best friend.

   "Hi Eraisa."

   "Hey Videl!" Eraisa said, cheery as usual. "I didn't see you all summer! Where'd you go?"

   "Places." Is all Videl said.

   "Cool! Hey, where's Gohan? I haven't seen him yet."

   Videl cringed when she heard his name. "He's dead, and it's my fault."

    "I don't know, must be sick."

   "That's strange. He's never sick." Eraisa said, scratching her head.

   "I know." Videl answered. She looked down, forcing back tears.

   Then the announcements came on. Videl didn't really pay attention. It was mostly for clubs and sports. Then came the one announcement.

   "Son ChiChi, mother of Son Gohan, called him today to tell us…"

   Videl looked up.

   "That Son Gohan was hit by a truck over vacation. He died from blood loss on the way to the hospital. Son Gohan was a straight A student, and was probably the smartest person in school. He would have been a senior this year. We would like to have a minute of silence for him. We'll miss Gohan terribly."

   A single tear ran down Videl's face. The girls in front of her were in hysterics. Eraisa looked at her friend and realized something. She had never seen Videl cry.

   "Videl…are you going to be okay?"

   Videl nodded and put her head on her desk.

   "I'm sorry Videl. I know he meant a lot to you." She turned to the girls in front of them. "Will you girls shut up! You barely knew him!" Everyone looked at Eraisa. She slid down in her seat and started to blush. "Note to self: Never break a silence for someone who's died." she whispered to herself. She looked over at Videl, who still had her head on her desk.

   "Want to get out of here Videl?"

   Videl nodded.

   "Okay. Follow me." Eraisa and Videl got up from their seats.

   "Mrs. Armada, Videl and I are going to go to the bathroom. Is that okay with you?" Eraisa said, being as sweet as possible.

   "All right Eraisa, just don't be too long."

   "Okay" Eraisa turned to Videl and smiled.

   Videl and Eraisa walked out of the classroom and into the bathroom. Luckily, there was a window. Videl opened it and jumped out. Surprisingly, Eraisa followed her.

   "So Videl. You want to tell me the read story about this? Because I know Gohan wouldn't have died from being hit by a truck."

   Videl nodded. "Well it all started when…"

~*~

   ChiChi looked outside. It had been one week—no, two weeks since Gohan died. She watched Goku and her remaining son train outside. She was always surprised at the resemblance between the two. She thought she would never get used to it. The hair, the face, the personality. It was all the same. It used to make her cry when Goku was gone. Her youngest son was always a reminder of the lost. She was thankful that Goku had decided to come back. Living without him was hard. She then smelled something burning.

   "Oh no! Lunch!  I had forgotten all about it!" She quickly ran into the kitchen to save the food. Soon, she was screaming out the door.

   "Goku! Goten! Lunch is ready!" Goten came speeding in, with Goku not far behind.

   "Hey Chi." Goku said walking up behind her. He grabbed her waist and kissed her on the cheek. "The food smells good!"

   "Hello to you to Goku. Sit down so I can give this to you."

   He kissed her on the other cheek. "Okay" Goku walked happily to the table and sat down next to Goten. ChiChi quickly served the food and watched her two Saya-Jins dig in.

   Goten then stopped. "I'll be right back." He said. Before anyone could protest, Goten dashed outside.

~*~

   Videl landed in front of a house.

   "Videl, where are we?"

   "Gohan's house. I haven't seen his family in a while. Thought maybe it was time for a visit." She then saw a little boy running towards them.

   "Videl! What are you doing here? I thought I sensed your ki coming!" Goten said, jumping onto Videl. He nearly knocked her over.

   "Well, hello to you too!" Videl said, laughing. She put him up on her shoulder. "Boy, are you getting big." Goten looked over at Eraisa.

   "Hello Videl's friend. My name is Goten."

   "Hello Goten. I'm Eraisa."

   "Hello Eraisa. Are you guys coming to have lunch with us? Mom and Dad will be happy to see you." Goten jumped off of Videl's shoulder and ran into the house. "Mom! Dad! Come look at who's outside!"

   Soon Goku walked outside.

   "Oh hey Videl! What brings you here?" Goku came up next to Goten.

   "Wow! You two look exactly alike!" Eraisa said. She then slammed her hands over her mouth. She didn't mean to say that out loud.

   Goku and Goten both put one hand behind their head and did the signature Son smile. "Yeah, we get that a lot." They both said at the same time.

   "Ignore my friend here." Videl said, glaring at Eraisa. "She says more than she should sometimes."

   Everyone was silent for second. Then Goten spoke.

   "Dad? Can Videl and Videl's friend eat lunch with us?"

   "Of course Goten! There will be enough food for them!" He then turned to Videl. "Come on. ChiChi will be happy to see you." Goku and Goten turned to walk inside. Videl hung back for a second to warn Eraisa about some things.

   "Okay Eraisa. Do not comment on how they eat. They're worst than Gohan."

   Eraisa's eyes went wide. "Really?"

   "Yes. They're also strong, so don't get them mad. I don't think we need to worry about Goku and Goten though. They're always happy."

   "Okay."  

   Videl and Eraisa walked into the house. Eraisa gasped when she saw the food piled up on the table. ChiChi came running over to Videl.

   "Videl! What a nice surprise! How are you?" ChiChi gave Videl a hug.

   Videl felt like she couldn't breathe. "ChiChi…I can't breathe…"

   ChiChi let go. "I'm sorry. I'm so happy to see you."

   "Me too."

   "So, who's your friend Videl?"

   Videl looked over at Eraisa.

   "Hello Mrs. Son. My name is Eraisa. I'm a friend of Gohan's." She looked at ChiChi in the eyes. "I'm terribly sorry about him."

   "It's okay Eraisa. Call me ChiChi. Everyone else does. I'm sure you've already met Goku and Goten" She smiled. "You guys had to travel a long way. I'm assuming that Videl's the only one that can fly out of you two."

   Videl started to laugh. "Yeah, she weighs a ton too!"

    "I do not!"

    "Yes you do!"

   "Do not!" Eraisa started to blush as Goten and Goku started to crack up.

   "I'm lucky I could carry you!" Videl smiled, knowing that she would win the argument.

   "Well, you're something different Videl, that's for sure." Goku said, smiling at her.

   "And what is that supposed to mean Goku?" Videl shot a look his way. He put his hands up in defense.

   "It was a compliment!" Goku said. Videl was doubled over laughing.

   "Boy am I hungry." Videl said, after she was done with her laughing fit.

   "We have a ton of food. Dig in!" Goten said. "You can sit next to me Videl!"

   Videl sat down next to Goten. Eraisa sat down next to her, and they started to eat.

    "So Goku. When are we wishing Gohan back?"

    Goku shot her a look.

   "Don't worry about it. I told Eraisa everything. She's my very best friend. She knows not to say a word, or I'll kill her." Videl smiled over at Eraisa, who looked like she was going to die.

   "Okay. I have no reason not to trust Eraisa." Goku said, looking at her.

   "So, when are we wishing him back?" Videl asked, again.

   "Well…"Goku looked down. "We can't."

   "What!?" Videl almost jumped out of her seat.

   "Someone already used the dragonballs. They can't be used for another year."

   Videl sunk into her seat. "Great. A whole year without him. What am I going to do…"

   "Don't worry Videl. We'll have him back in a year." Goku smiled at her.

   There was a long, uneasy silence.

   "Well…" Videl said, looking at her watch. "School's almost out. We're going to be in deep trouble if we don't get back. Come on Eraisa, let's go."

   "Okay!" Eraisa and Videl got up from their chairs and walked out the door.

   "Thanks ChiChi. As always, the food's delicious."

   "Thanks ChiChi!" Eraisa said, flashing a smile at Goten. "Bye Goten!"

   Goten waved at her. "Bye Videl's friend! Come back and visit me! Maybe one time you can meet Trunks, and we'll have tons of fun!"

   "Okay!"

   "Eraisa…come on."

   "Al right, al right. Take it easy Videl. "Bye!"

    Eraisa and Videl walked outside. Eraisa slung her arm over Videl's shoulder. Videl braced herself and Eraisa, and lifted off the ground and into the air. They slowly made their way back to school…

~*~

   "Dad! I'm home!" Videl said, closing the door.

   No answer

   "Dad! You here?"

   No response

   "Must be out again." Videl murmured. She walked up to her room and closed the door. She found a note with a picture on her desk.

   "I found this picture in the paper. Thought you might like it. I'm heading out to some press conference. I'll be home for dinner. Bye.

                             -Dad"

   Videl looked at the picture. It was of her and Saiyaman. A photographer must have taken it while they weren't looking. A policeman was in the background handcuffing someone.

   Videl looked at Gohan. "God, do I hate that outfit." She said to herself. Him and Videl were both smiling. She never forgot the look he had on his face when he was fighting. He claimed that he didn't like hurting people, but here he seemed amused with himself. Maybe it was because he was so much stronger than everyone in the city. No one stood a chance against Gohan. A small smile crept across Videl's face. She then sighed and laid down on her bed, still holding the picture. She brought it close to her heart, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

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

Wow! This chapter has over 2000 words! Go me! I've never written over 2000 words before. ^_^

Okay, okay. I lied. This isn't the last chapter. I just kinda thought this up, and but a bunch of G/CC in it, since I don't think they get enough attention. All the stories go to Gohan and Videl, or Vegeta and Bulma. (well…that's what this fic is! ^_^) I thought putting some Goku/ChiChi in there was sweet.

I don't know why I made this chapter. I really don't. The whole thing was just stuck in my head, so I wrote it down. I guess I'm trying to describe how everyone is doing or something. I really don't know. I hope you liked it anyway. This chapter was a break from my usual writing. Next chapter will definitely be the end. I don't know when I'll get it up, because I have two books to read in one month for school. One of them is over 500 pages, and the other one is over 200. God, I hate honors courses…I'll try to get the chapter up A.S.A.P. Remember to review! ^_^
