Chapter 3: Seeing Gohan, finally

By Anime-girl

A figure stood in the doorway with a broad smile. Videl smiled back at the figure.

"Videl!" Chi-chi exclaimed. She leaned forward and hugged Videl for a brief moment.

"Come in, come in." Chi-Chi led Videl into the small, but cozy home. It still looked the same to Videl. She noticed that the furniture had been moved around slightly, knowing Chi-chi but it was still that warm house where she would spend her day at.

"Um, is Gohan here?" Videl asked Chi-chi who was sitting across from her.

"No, dear, he's moved out and gotten his own apartment in the city." Chi-Chi explained.

"Oh…"

"Yes, well maybe you should go there now. Here's the address." Chi-chi jotted down an address on a small piece of paper. She handed it to Videl who gladly took it.

"I won't go yet. I just want to stay for a little while. I didn't come here just to see Gohan. I came to see the whole Son family," Videl smiled sweetly.

"Well, would you like some coffee or tea?" Chi-chi asked as she got up and walked to the kitchen counter.

"Can I please have some tea?" As Chi-chi boiled some water, a 10 year old boy walked in. He looked a lot like Goku, almost like a mini-version of the lovable but naïve Goku. Videl knew this boy only as Goten. He opened his mouth to say something to his mother but then turned his attention to Videl. He stared at her for a moment, his face was filled with curiousness and had a I-know-you-but-I-don't-remember look.

"I know you from somewhere," Goten said, "I just don't remember."

Videl laughed. She had gotten that from many people that had seen her. She was just surprised that Goten, Gohan's little brother didn't recognize her.

"Goten, if you don't remember me, then I'm going to tell your brother and he'll be really disappointed in you." she had used this to get Goten's attention many times.

"Videl?!" the boy exclaimed.

"You finally got it," she smiled as the boy ran up to her and hugged her. He was more that half her size, he had grown and was about up to her neck. He didn't have to hug her leg anymore.

Chi-chi and Videl chatted like they used to and Goten was even there listening to every word. Videl soon left the Son recidence to see Gohan in Satan City.

Gohan's aparment…

Videl finally reached Gohan's apartment building after a long journey from the mountains. She knocked on the door lightly, knowing Gohan he could probably hear that knock from in the shower. A tall man opened the door. He wore a white shirt and dark pants, he had spiky hair and his black eyes looked empty and his face was full of not enthusiasm, but depression, that is until he saw a petite woman standing front of him.

Videl smiled softly, her face was slightly pink. A rush of feelings had just come back to her, just like when she was a mere teenager. She waved it off, ignoring the need to kiss him once again. She took this only as old feelings that she didn't feel anymore.

"Hey," she greeted in a tiny voice.

"Videl? Oh my Dende, I can't believe you're back!" Gohan bent down to hug Videl (She's really short, like me!).

"It's great to be back," she said walking into the small apartment. She observed the apartment, it was cozy and didn't have that big space that her father's mansion had had, it was like Gohan's home in the mountains.

"So, do you want anything? Tea, coffee?" Gohan offered.

"No thanks, I just had some tea with your mom," she replied.

"You stopped by there?" Gohan asked as he sat down beside Videl on the black leather couch.

"Yeah, and Erasa's house too," Videl answered.

"What about your father's house (A/N I just realized that Videl hadn't visited her father yet!) ?"

"Oh, he knows about me stopping over at a few houses before we have dinner together."

"Oh, well, how's life been for ya the past three years?"

"Great, nothing much exciting has happened to me." Videl answered, forgetting that she was engaged, "What about you?"

"Nothing much, I moved here, I go to college. I'm taking a few courses first before I decide what I want to be." (This convo is taking sooo long!)

Videl smiled and sat there silently not knowing what else to say. She had been thinking about it on her journey to Satan City. All she could think about what what she and Gohan would talk about, she thought they had a lot to talk about. The odd thing was she didn't think about anything of what she would say to Chi-Chi and Erasa, and those ran smoothly and time went by so fast. When she was here with Gohan, they sat in an akward silence not knowing what to say, and the 5 minutes of quietness seemed to drag and go on forever until Gohan had finally said something.

"Have you been seeing anybody when you were at Tokyo?" this took Videl by surprise.

"Actually, I'm engaged." Videl said excitedly, but Gohan seemed to be the opposite. His heart shattered into a million pieces when she said the word 'engaged'. He couldn't believe it, he knew he waited for nothing. He knew she would find someone else, and she did and it hurt, he couldn't say anything and Videl took note of that.

Erasa was telling the truth, he had really waited for me. Videl thought, staring at Gohan's hurt face, all she could say was, "I've really missed you."

Gohan swallowed and replied, "I've missed you too." Gohan lifted his head and kissed Videl lightly on the lips, but it was still full of affection. She pulled away quickly and stood up.

"I got to go," she said slamming the door behind her leaving Gohan and his broken heart.

TBC......
