Well, as I mentioned in my profile, I had never planned for this to be a terribly long story. So now it's finished and I can write a few more one shots before I finish GTOL:SE. Anyway, enjoy the end to this neat little saga.

Chapter 5: Everything Is Fine

Gohan all of a sudden felt weak. His parents were probably already awake and looking for him and his brother. What would he tell them?

"Gohan, are you all right?" asked Videl "you look a little pale". Gohan slowly dropped to the floor and curled up in the fetal position. Videl watched the spectacle with an odd look on her face. It was as though she had woken up in some crazy alternate dimension: Gohan just appears out of the blue at midnight, her father doesn't notice the fact that Gohan had grabbed Videl from behind when he wasn't even supposed to be there and now Gohan had dropped into a ball.

"What's up Gohan?" she asked with a kind tone. Gohan didn't reply. He just kept on laying there, rocking back and forth, occasionally saying something completely irrelevant. Videl continued to try and get through to him for a couple of minutes but eventually gave up and dropped down next to Gohan.

*Okay, this is getting a little too weird for me* she said to herself *I gotta get some answers around here*. Videl got up and started pondering how to best go about finding out what the hell was going on.

"Hmmmmm, I don't think I'm gonna get any answeres from Gohan when he's like this" she thought aloud "and I don't think I could handle Goten alone so first I'm gonna find out what's gotten into dad". Videl looked down at Gohan.

*It's probably not the best idea to just leave him here* she thought. She looked around and saw a closet.

"Bingo!" she proclaimed as she began to drag Gohan into the closet. Once he was safely tucked inside Videl turned back towards where they had came from.

*Dad will probably be easier to find as well* she thought as she ran down the halls to where she last saw her dad.

Goku woke up fairly early that morning. He took a shower and had breakfast even before Chi Chi had gotten out of bed. He also noticed the kids were missing. However, Goku knew that there was no need in worrying as the two of them could look after themselves.

*There probably just off sparring* he thought as he awaited his wife's scream as she discovered her boys were gone. Goku had big plans for that morning though. He and Chi Chi hadn't had much time to "talk" lately and he wasn't going to miss this chance. Up stairs he could hear his wife stirring. Then he could here her walking down the hall. Then down the stairs. Then into the kitchen.

"Good morning darling" she said as she gave him a kiss "where are the boys?". Chi Chi then went to start making breakfast.

"They went out sparring" he replied, as he grabbed his wife around the waist "said they'll be back for lunch". He then started to kiss Chi Chi passionately.

"What are you up to Goku?" asked Chi Chi with a giggle.

"Well, seeing as though we have the house to ourselves…"

Videl found her father in the kitchen, making some breakfast. Everything seemed normal.

"Oh hi Videl, how'd you sleep?" he asked obligatorily.

"Not well" she answered "I woke up early, remember?". Hercule looked puzzled for a moment.

"Ahh, I see" he said as he ate some cereal "I had the strangest dream last night".

"What about?" asked Videl.

"Well, you know those guys on the Cell game tapes?" asked Hercule. Videl nodded.

"Well, I dreamed that I was training in the dojo" he started "then all of a sudden a kid version of the first one to fight cell jumped out and attacked me. He beat me up and then I left the dojo and walk around the mansion and then I saw you and that scrawny kid and then I woke up here". Videl's eyes shot open in realization.

"Weird" she said as she jumped up "Well, gotta go". Hercule was about to say something but before he knew it Videl was gone. Videl raced back to where she'd left Gohan, hoping to god he was still there. Lucky for her Gohan was smart and even though he had recovered somewhat from his previous state, he had remained in the closet.

"If you had of moved I would have killed you" said Videl as she opened the closet door.

"My parents don't know I'm here" he explained "What am I gonna do?"

"Don't worry about that now, you can figure that out later" assured Videl "But I got some good news". Gohan looked up curiously.

"Good news sounds good about now" replied Gohan "much better than bad news". Videl laughed lightly.

"Well, Goten beat up my dad!" declared Videl cheerfully. Gohan however became particularly stressed at this comment.

"This is your idea of good news!?!?" asked Gohan, jumping up suddenly.

"No, that's not the good news" assured Videl "The good news is that he thinks you and Goten are just a dream". Gohan sighed with relief.

"I guess that is good news" Gohan said with relief "Now all we have to do is find Goten and then we can get out of here". Gohan relaxed for a moment. All of a sudden he felt quite content. There really weren't any problems left. He just needed to find the dojo and then he would be fine.

"How far from the dojo are we anyway?" asked Gohan as he got used to the idea that everything would be fine.

"Down two more hallways" answered Videl with a smile "Come on, follow me". The two of them slowly walked to the dojo, each realizing just how tired they were as they went. They both yawned like there was no tomorrow. By the time they got to the dojo they almost forgot why they had went there in the first place.

"Goten?" called out Gohan. No answer.

"Goten?" repeated Videl. Still no answer. Gohan and Videl searched the room. However there weren't many places to hide in the dojo. There was a mat though. A very comfortable mat. A very comfortable mat that Gohan decided would be a very good place to rest. Gohan also decided there was no harm in lying down for a little while. Videl spotted her partner in crime taking a rest and decided she'd join him. After all, she had gotten even less sleep than Gohan last night. She laid down next to Gohan and looked at him. He wasn't quite asleep yet but he was getting there. Videl smiled.

"Silly little Gohan" she whispered. Gohan looked at her at murmured something. Then, to Gohan's great surprise, Videl kissed him. And Gohan kissed back. They kissed until they fell asleep in each other's arms, both feeling very fuzzy inside.

Gohan was shaken awake later that day. He looked around to see Goten standing over him. Videl was still in his arms. Gohan blushed slightly. At that point Videl awoke and looked around.

"Where'd you get to Goten?" asked Videl groggily.

"I lost Gohan so I went exploring your mansion" chirped Goten "And I stopped this big hairy burglar". Gohan and Videl sweat dropped.

"That was my dad, Goten" said Videl. Goten's eyes became wider for a moment but he then started scratching his head and gave the trade mark Son grin.

"He was" he said "Oops". Gohan and Videl started laughing. Gohan didn't know why but he felt as though he had been through a lot. He also knew he didn't wanna leave Videl's house any time soon.

"Goten, it's about time you went home" said Gohan as he held Videl tighter "Tell mum I'll be home tomorrow". Goten looked puzzled.

"Aren't you coming home with me Nii-chan?" he asked.

"No, I gotta catch up on some much needed sleep"
