Note: This fic happens before Majin Buu comes, when both Gohan and Videl were busy training for the World Martial Arts tournament. The first chapter is a bit explanatory, but it is needed to set the mood for the story. Bear with me, because it will pick up pretty fast. The only access I have to the original, un-altered version is through my friend's battered old un-translated videos and countless recollections from people who've actually seen them. I know they rock though. So. Enjoy my first fic. A few reviews would be nice, I guess.

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ. I believe everyone knows that.


"Good, Videl! You've really improved! I think you're better than Goten now!" Gohan beamed as Videl glided back down after flying. "That was great, Videl! I think you've mastered flying. Let's go for lunch." As Videl and Gohan and Goten ("I'm a birdie, birdie, birdie!") went to Chi-Chi for lunch, Videl looked up.

"You live in such a wide space, Gohan. Are there any people?"

Gohan looked up, too. "Sure. I know some great people and places around here. I should show you sometime." Goten, who didn't hear them, said

"I smell lunch! Let's go, everyone!"

After lunch with Chi-Chi, who always jumped to conclusions (Chi-Chi: "So, Gohan, when are you going to marry her?" Gohan: "Mom! Cut it out! I'm just teaching her how to fly!" Videl: "Huh?" Goten: "I'm a birdie!") , the three went out to train again.

As Gohan and Videl went to a spot under a tree, Goten yelled "I'm bored of training now. I'm gonna go to the creek. See ya!" Off he went. Gohan scratched his head.

"Well, that was fast."

Later that day, Videl was getting ready to go home. All of a sudden, as she started to rise, Gohan blurted out

" Uh, Videl! Uh, I was just thinking, do you want me to show you around now? I mean, if you aren't busy or anything." That caught Videl off guard for a minute, but she recovered and smirked.

"Gohan, are you asking me out on a date?"

That thought hadn't occurred to him before, and he started to turn red.

"I-er...No! I mean, er...Yes! Ah.....er.......um......."

Videl, who saw he was at a loss for words, smiled. "sure I'll go, Gohan. I don't have any plans." At that, Gohan brightened right back up.

"Great! Let's go!"

Um, yeah. That was just the prologue. It'll pick up soon, I promise. Now, I have to start the next chapter now, as opposed to later, because I'm such a slow typist. o.0
