Well, when I put the original version of this chapter up I had a huge bitch at everyone because I got very few reviews but I don't really care anymore. Reviews are good but what I am aiming to do with this fic is piss ff.net off.

Chapter 3: Splish Splash!

Gohan felt strange. Stranger than he had ever felt before. Stranger than when he found out he was half alien, stranger than when Mirai Trunks told him about the Androids. Stranger than ever. He was looking directly into the eyes of the most perfect girl in the world and he couldn't stop.

*Break the silence, Gohan, before she thinks you're a weirdo* he advised himself.

"Uh- Are you feeling any better?" asked Gohan, now looking at the ground in embarrassment.

"Uh… yeah, but I wanna go for a swim before we go" replied Videl. *What just happened? I just couldn't stop staring into his eyes. I hope he didn't notice. But why couldn't I break away from his eyes, his dreamy eyes. Hold on Videl, what are you thinking, you and Gohan are just…*. Her thought was interrupted when Gohan disappeared and reappeared be hind her. He grabbed her around the waste and flew about 20 feet into the air above the lake.

"So you wanna go for a swim, huh?" asked Gohan mischievously. He felt Videl struggle in his arms but he wasn't about to let go. Not just yet anyway.

"Gohan hold on a second" Videl pleaded

"Oh, and why should I?" asked Gohan as they hovered above the water.

"Ummmmmm, because…" Started Videl but was interrupted by Gohan dropping her into the water. She managed to stop herself just inches above the water. She looked to where she had seen Gohan before but he was gone now. Whoooooooooosssssshhhhhhhhh!!! Out of the water erupted Gohan. He grabbed her around the waste and pulled her under. He quickly got out of the water as, knowing Videl, she would be just about ready to kill Gohan. He was right. She blasted out of the water and dashed at Gohan as quickly as she could. Gohan easily dodged her but she wasn't about to give up.

"Your in for it now, Gohan" laughed Videl as she chased the half Saiyan from left to right, up and down and even under the water. She wasn't about to let him go unpunished. Gohan on the other hand was enjoying himself immensely. While he was impressed at how fast Videl was he knew she would never be able to catch him at this rate.

Just as Videl was going to catch him Gohan disappeared.

*I really wish he would stop doing that* thought Videl. She spotted him hovering in front of a nearby waterfall with his arms crossed.

"What's wrong, to fast for you?" mocked Gohan.

"A good trick, but I have one of my own" smirked Videl. With that she disappeared for a moment then re-appeared off to Gohan's right where she fired a ki blast at him. Gohan quickly dodged but when he looked back to where Videl was she was no where to be seen. Suddenly he heard a splash behind him. He turned but nothing was there. BANG!!! Videl had flown right into his back and knocked him into the water. Gohan rose his head above the water to see a triumphantly grinning Videl. She was looking down on Gohan with a huge amount of pride. Gohan looked up at her and smirked.

"Your never gonna pull me in Gohan, never" she joked. Gohan's smirk grew a little with this remark.

"Okay, sure, whatever you say Videl" he smiled. He then closed his eyes. The water around him began to swell. Then suddenly a huge wall of water surrounded Gohan. Videl looked on curiously. The wall of water grew and grew until it surrounded Videl as well. Then Gohan opened his eyes and the water started to crash in on them. Videl tried as hard as she could to escape but to no avail. She was now saturated. Then she heard something behind her. She tried to turn around but Gohan was too quick.

"I'm never gonna pull you in hey?" laughed Gohan. Before Videl could reply Gohan had plunged them both deep into the water. Gohan arose from the water a split second before Videl with a triumphant look on his face. He floated around on his back for a while. He was feeling very care free. As he floated he laughed a bit but Videl couldn't figure out why. She just figured he either was very happy or he needed a straight jacket.

As Videl watched Gohan she could sense a change in him. It was something that didn't really show on the outside but Videl sensed it in him.. His temper with Sharpner had majorly changed. Every time she saw Gohan near Sharpner she sensed Gohan's power swell, almost as though he was getting ready to attack. But it surprised Videl that he managed to hold himself at bay. But she knew Gohan was smart. She knew Gohan wouldn't beat the hell out of Sharpner but she sort of wanted him to.

Gohan floated there, thinking about Videl. He could sense her thoughts. Right now she was awfully confused but that wasn't what Gohan noticed. Her thoughts seemed to be focused on him. This made Gohan uneasy. He begged for a way to distract her thoughts from him. Then he saw his watch. 7:46!!!

*SHIT, mums gonna kill me!* thought Gohan frantically.

"Uh, Videl, it's 7:46. We better head home" he said, trying to hide his panic. He quickly got out of the water and dried himself with his ki. Videl just floated about the water for a little while without even hearing Gohan. Gohan looked at her and then decided his best option would be to shake her.

"Videl, hello, it's 7:47, we have to go or our parents will kill us" said Gohan as he shook his companion out of her trance. Videl looked up at Gohan and then at her watch.

"Shit, it is! I'll come to your place and call my dad from there" she said, without thinking about the fact that her dad hated Gohan and didn't even know she had left.

"Let me carry you back, I can go faster that way" said Gohan. Videl nodded. She wasn't ready to turn down a ride with Gohan, especially when she needed to be fast. Gohan turned Super Saiyan and grabbed Videl. She clung on tightly, but she knew she didn't need to hold on. Gohan would never let her fall. Gohan took off towards his home and hoped that this would be a move for the best.

Sharpner came up with a plan after all. It took him all afternoon but he finally did it. But he needed the worlds strongest man to give him a hand. He walked up to the Satan mansion and knocked on the door. Hercule burst through the door.

"Videl!?" he stammered without even looking around "Oh it's you Sharpner. Videl's not here at the moment. Hang on, do you know where she is?"

"I might, she is probably with Gohan" replied Sharpner "He said he was planning on visiting her this afternoon".

"Not that scrawny little runt again?" he said with hatred in his voice "I'm gonna kill him. How can I convince Videl not to see him anymore, I've tried everything".

"I think I can help you there. I have a plan but I need your help" said Sharpner.

"A plan? Well then come in. Hey servant guy, get this kid something to drink. Now, tell me your plan" said Hercule as he led Sharpner inside.

Gohan and Videl arrived at Gohan's place at about 8:10. Chi Chi was waiting outside with Goku.

"It's about time you got here" said Chi Chi as Gohan and Videl landed " Oh, hi Videl. I get it now". Chi Chi giggled.

"Give them a break Chi Chi, but still why were you late" asked Goku curiously.

"We lost track of time. Can Videl call her dad and tell him where she is?" asked Gohan.

"Sure" replied Goku. Gohan and Videl walked into the kitchen but were nearly bowled over by Goten running through.

"Nichan, your home. Hi Videl, what you doing?" asked Goten, jumping up and down. He had a big smile on his face.

"Hey squirt, calm down, it's not as though you never get to see Videl" joked Gohan.

"Hi Goten, how are you?" asked Videl as Gohan tried to calm the child.

"I am good and happy and fun" he blurted out quickly. Gohan and Videl figured he had too much sugar today.

"I went to see Trunks today and we went to the zoo" said Goten. He was very excited but I guess he would be after going to the zoo.

"Okay, I'm gonna go call my dad" she said as she walked in to the other room. Gohan picked up Goten and held him at around head height.

"Goten, calm down, anyway, you didn't do anything abnormal at the zoo did you? Anything that might get us in trouble?" asked Gohan just incase.

"Nope, Bulma told us that if we do anything wrong we would go without dinner" replied the little demi-Saiyan.

"Good, now run along squirt" he said as he put his little brother down. Goten ran off and out the door where Gohan heard him talking to Chi Chi. At that moment Videl walked back in looking awfully confused.

"Uh… dad said I can stay the night if it's okay with your parents" said Videl looking quite shocked. Gohan simply looked at her. Hercule hated Gohan, didn't he?

"What?" he asked looking very puzzled "Your serious?".

"Yeah" she replied. What was going on. Hercule hated Gohan but she's allowed to stay at his place for a night. Oh well, he wasn't going to argue.

"Let's go ask my mum and dad" suggested Gohan, still trying to grasp what he had just heard.
