Something Happens in My Heart
Written by Goku's Daughter
Chapter Seven: Friendly Dispute and Flashbacks
~*~
"100 memories, 200 jokes, 300 great times, 400 secrets, 1 reason… *BEST FRIENDS*"
~*~
It was a dark night with the very few stars out to brighten the gloomy, yet calm sky. Videl found it necessary to sit outside all alone…peacefully on the bench. Thankfully, it didn't snow yet. Wow, one good thing to be happy about. Not like snow was a dreadful thing; it's just a nuisance at times*. She almost sighed to herself. So many things happened lately and she was so lost, so confused. Exasperated, she closed her eyes and tried desperately to loosen up a bit.
"May I join you?"
It was quite awkward with him suddenly back in her life, even if it was for only a couple of weeks. It was just something that she had to deal with…it's not like she couldn't handle it—which surprised her a lot.
Videl plastered a smile and then nodded, silently watching him sit down beside her.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense, as both beings didn't say a word…
In moments of silence, they almost laughed at each other…and themselves for being so…awkward…
"A penny for your thoughts?"
Her gaze was on the stars as she suddenly found the audacity to speak. One couldn't miss a string of curiosity in her voice. "Why didn't you look for me?" One also couldn't miss the sadness and the grief in her interrogation.
Gohan felt more than tense, as he was a little shocked. Why would she ask something like this…now… he didn't know…? Finding a voice, he said while tolerating the violent trembling, "You didn't want me to find you… you wanted to get away so I respected your wishes and butted out." He didn't find enough comfort looking up at the stars. It only reminded him of their nights out at the beach or some other place over 7 years ago.
She didn't have the courage to look at him. She didn't even know why she'd be asking about this. "How insensitive must Gohan think I am?" she thought to herself. Out loud she spoke, "Even after seven years you never bothered to come and see how I was doing?"
Gohan rubbed his hands together for a little heat, and a little distraction, "Neither did you…"
Videl chuckled; it was out of pity…for herself. When she got a hold of herself, she spoke as loud as she could, even though it came out as a whisper, "Did you ever want to see me after I was gone?" Her eyes burned as it became glass-like with moisture begging to get out.
Gohan nodded. His voice was shortened and in soft whisper, "Yes, you have no idea how bad I wanted to speak to you…"
Videl had her tiny arms clutched around her. It didn't leave her side when her head quickly turned to him. Apparently, she was hurt as two tears made their way down her cheek. "…and you still didn't look for me."
Gohan turned his body half way so he was fairly facing her, frowning as he was not able to keep a straight face. Looking greatly concerned, he brought up his shaking hands and wiped away her tears. "If you never wanted to see me again, I wouldn't go against your wishes."
"Why is that?"
Gohan's head turned ninety degrees so it was difficult to read his face. "I respect you and your wishes. All I want you to be is happy."
Videl blinked twice and whispered a soft, "Oh…" She then looked at her watch finding it was pretty late.
Gohan saw this and regrettably said, "I know it's late. You should get some shut-eye."
Videl got up and clutched herself tighter. "What about you?"
Gohan also followed her lead. "Oh I'm going to take a walk then I'll go to bed."
There was a brief moment of uncomfortable silence as they stared at each other, still stupefied in their reunion.
He made a small smile. "Goodnight Videl."
She smiled back at him. "Goodnight Gohan."
They gave each other a small glance and walked away in opposite directions.
~
In the bushes, Goten and Trunks stumbled out looking very disoriented and greatly disappointed.
With binoculars in one hand, Goten mimicked Gohan, "Goodnight Videl!" His throat was strained trying to speak in a lower tone.
Flicking his purple hair back in a feminine way, Trunks spoke in a girlish, high-pitched voice, "Goodnight Gohan!"
Both boys then slapped their foreheads.
Trunks angrily spoke, "I can't believe these two!"
Goten muttered pessimistically, "We're screwed."
Trunks took in a big breath to clear his mind. Next he waved his index finger. "Goten, never give up. Have you forgotten all of the things we planned?"
Goten crossed his arms. "Yeah, but how long do we have to wait?"
Trunks practically glared at his partner in crime. "Hey it's not my fault nothing is happening. Blame it on your brother!"
Goten grumbled under his breath. "Whatever, I just want to eat!"
*-*
Rubbing his chin a bit, he examined the picture. "Wow, I never knew Videl was a tomboy!"
Videl's mother made a genuine smile on her face. "Yeah, following in her father's foot steps, she was bound to be one. But when she came back early from high school I guess I rubbed off of her and she changed."
Yamcha smiled a bit but grunted at her remark. "Yeah, her clothes may change but I bet she's probably the same person that she was a long time ago."
The lady's smile broadened out a bit, although it was dominated by pity. She whispered a bit, "Yeah, I know."
Yamcha laid the picture back into the older lady's lap and began to think. "Ma, do you think Videl is happy?"
Mrs. Satan was a bit startled at his question, but answered. "Yeah, why do you think she's not? Do you not see her smiling face when she sees you?"
The man casually laid back onto the couch in further thought. "I don't know. Maybe because she's marrying me! And besides, she's usually pissed off when I see her."
The older woman chuckled a bit and playfully slapped his chest. "Don't be silly!"
Yamcha's smiled faded as it was replaced with a frown in a deeper thought. "Do you think she loves me?"
Startled again, the older woman abruptly stopped arranging Videl's photos. Noticing her daughter has all of her high school photos hidden away for apparent reasons, she avoided eye contact with the younger man. "Yes, of course! Why do you think she's getting married to you?!"
Yamcha began to nervously fiddle with his fingers. He spoke softly as if he was hurt. "I don't know. I just get the feeling that she doesn't love me, especially as much as I love her. I feel as if she's just doing it because she was hooked up—you know she never really expressed how she loves me. I mean she said it occasionally but I have a feeling like she doesn't mean it. Am I crazy? Am I too paranoid about this?" He looked desperate when staring at Mrs. Satan for an answer.
Videl's mother was shocked with his theory. Of course she knew he was a bit right, but she would never tell Yamcha the truth. Why she would do such a thing, she didn't know. Maybe being loyal to her daughter and respecting her wishes was worth enough to not break Yamcha's heart.
Sympathetically she patted on Yamcha's leg, saying in a motherly tone, "Yamcha, don't over think about this. Maybe you should talk to Videl when she comes back. Besides, why would she agree to marry you if she didn't love you? Think about that." Giving him a warm smile, she got up. "I have to continue planning your wedding."
Yamcha weakly smiled. "Yeah, I'll see you later."
He frowned when she left the room, whispering, "Videl I love you so much…"
Closing his eyes he said a bit louder, "And if you don't love me… then that's were things get more complicated."
Now speaking to himself in a quieter tone, he whispered, "Either way, I'll still love you."
*-*
"Boys are better than girls!"
"Na uh!"
Trunks almost snarled, "Ya huh!" He then 'lightly' pushed Lita. Students saw this and began to form a circle around them, yelling, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" After an immense morning of training with Videl, what better to practice then to fight?
The cheering encouraged the girl. Being no pushover she quickly got up and tackled Trunks to the ground. They were almost at each other's throat as the girl straddled the boy's hips, pulling at his purple locks.
Trunks had to be careful not to kill Lita…
Due to the crowd of children following by their yelling, this fight quickly caught onto Videl's and Gohan's attention. Without delay, they swiftly headed to the fight.
Trunks pretended to be angry and pushed the girl with force. The girl equally pushed him back. They were aggressively snarling and growling at each other. You wouldn't have guessed that they were acting because it looked so realistic with the 'fake blood' flowing out of their skin.
Hastily, Videl grabbed the girl by her arms and held her back. "Stop it!" Her movements were a bit restricted, even trying to hold back the girl, due to the skirt that she was wearing.
Gohan was a tad bit enraged. He roughly pulled Trunks back by the collar and yelled, "Trunks get a hold of yourself!"
Goten walked through the crowd and up to his older brother. Looking him in the eye, he said in an innocent voice, "But she started it."
Lita yelled back with fury, "No! Trunks said girls are weaker than boys!" Something about her reminded Gohan of someone… A miniature version of a teenage Videl perhaps…
Videl gave a look to Trunks. Her laugh was a mix of sadistic yet pity for the situation. "And why would you say that?"
Trunks spat without hesitation, "Because it's true!"
Gohan pulled Trunks back even more. His eyebrows were snapped together when Trunks persisted. "You know better than to hit a girl! You're going to hurt them! They're not as tough as we are!"
Videl almost gagged from his remark. "Excuse me Gohan?!"
A bit shaken up from her rebuttal, Gohan loosened his grip on Trunks. "Trunks should know better than to hit girls!"
Videl took in a big breath and let the girl go. Videl was so consumed in this drama that she almost pushed poor Lita aside. "Are you saying girls are weaker than boys?"
Gohan did the same and walked up to Videl. Almost nose-to-nose, he tried hard not to growl. "Maybe I am."
Videl took a step in his face. She whispered in a threatening voice. "Is that a challenge Gohan?"
Gohan pulled on the lose waist of Videl's long skirt. "You're going to spar in that?" He almost smiled.
She rolled her eyes. "I can still kick your ass even if I wasn't wearing this."
Gohan took a couple steps back. Trunks, who was standing beside him, took of his suit jacket like how a good manager would. Trunks was kind of surprised to see him wear a body fitting black t-shirt.
Videl took off her big jacket on to reveal a body fitting spaghetti strapped top above her skirt. "You ready Gohan?"
Gohan fought hard not to stare at her as he cracked his knuckles in anticipation. "Oh you bet I am!"
Gohan, on instinct, went into a fighting stance as his competitor did the same. He did not hesitate to attack first, making her on the defensive.
Videl easily blocked his punches and kicks, but being in a skirt, it was a big disadvantage. Soon finding herself in the forest, she dodged one of his 'big' attacks and quickly hid behind a tree.
From far away Trunks chuckled, as his eyes revealed that he was having a good time, "I told you boys were stronger than girls. That's why Videl is running away!"
Lita snorted and rolled her eyes.
Goten just followed his brother into the forest…as the rest of the group soon did. Surprisingly no one was really concerned for them…everyone was entertained and amused.
Gohan walked leisurely to his prey. He knew exactly where she was and thought it was too easy. He pretended to walk past her and then he heard a sigh. He quickly turned around in a flash and tried to punch her off guard.
She was too agile, and he knew she was. She moved her head to the side and at the same time punched Gohan in the guts. This counter-attack didn't quite faze him though. He would just pin her up like he would usually do…
Videl tried to kick him in the head. The damn skirt was in the way though. Effortlessly, Gohan caught her leg and spun her around. He then pulled on the skirt's cord making it lose and begin to unravel. Videl became confused as she tried to put it back together yet keep her guard up to fight with Gohan.
She took a couple of light punches from Gohan as she quickly tied her skirt. As soon as she recomposed her stance, she ripped the bottom half of her skirt so it was short. As soon as she got a chance, she tackled the young man to the ground, with her on top. She was oblivious to how bad (as in dirty) this looked to the children's eyes. Heavily breathing, she stated, "I remember this from somewhere..."
Gohan nodded but he was quite too eager for a loser. "Yeah, but I never tried this." He easily flipped her over so he was now on top. He could feel her squirm underneath him.
Trunks came running, exclaiming, "Gohan won!"
Everyone soon found them, tired and panting for air. From a distance the boys were cheering happily, as Gohan began to blush. He slowly got up, savouring the praise of the boys, and extended a hand out to Videl.
She smiled to herself as she took his hand and pulled him down beside him, just like how he had done to her many, many years ago. Satisfied, she got up, brushing her clothes. Luckily, she was wearing red and black.
Gohan blinked in confusion. Realizing what happened; he furiously got up and yelled, "Y-you cheater! You're such sore loser! Why—"
Videl turned back at him, looking innocently as possible. "No I didn't! I'm not a loser!"
Gohan walked aggressively to her. "Yes you are!"
Videl wasn't intimated. "No I'm not!"
Gohan growled as he felt a sudden urge to roughly push her down and… he didn't want to think about that. Before he would do something that he's regret he decisively walked away.
Videl did the same but stopped in mid step. Turning back at him, she yelled, "Hey Gohan!"
He didn't turn around and continued walking. He was still vexed.
She almost bit her lip in worry. "Gohan!"
This time he turned around. "What?" he spat. His face showed that he was angry and…amused?
Slowly, she walked to him. She whispered softly, so only he could hear, "I'm sorry."
He looked down at her and walked a bit past her. Not bothering to look down, as he was being secretive, he stood directly beside her and gently tugged on the cord of the skirt. The result was a smooth unravel as it traveled down a centimeter down her waist like it did during their spar. His voice was a bit husky as he stated, "I know." Naively enough, he walked away with a predatory smile on his face.
Quickly, Videl spun around at him in confusion. He was actually walking away from her! Angrily she yelled, "Gohan!!" and tied her skirt back up.
With the greatest innocent face he could muster, he turned at her, with a big smile on his face. "Videl…I still won!"
It was then that all boys started to yell in cheer.
Videl tried not to sigh as she rolled her eyes.
Trunks looked at Lita with a smug look on his face.
She too rolled her eyes and walked away from Trunks.
He frowned at her and grabbed onto her wrist, starring back at her. He also didn't show any movements of letting her go.
"What now?"
With a keen smile on his face, he shook his head to the side, indicating why he stopped her.
She only sighed and shrugged, trying to ignore the boys' happy cheers and shouting.
Gohan was feeling a bit out of character as his reminder made him feel more proud of himself, he too began to laugh with the others. All males chanted and cheered, "Yes! WE won! The girls lost!" Then they laughed…laughed their ass of as if there was no tomorrow.
Feeling embarrassed that the boys were arrogant and so damn cheerful at Gohan's victory; she turned around and tied her hair with a big frown on her face. It was only then she heard whistling from a certain somebody.
She turned around only to find Gohan starring at her with a wide grin.
"laDakii baDii anajaanii hai
The girl's a total stranger.
sapana hai, sach hai kahaanii hai
She's a dream come true - is she for real or just a story?
dekho ye pagalii bilkul na badalii
Look at this mad one, she hasn't changed a bit!
ye to vahii diwaanii hai
She's still the same crazy girl."
Okay, maybe that made her feel better as everyone was soon 'back-to-normal'. Now relaxed, she too wouldn't be excluded from the festivities—or shall she say 'party'?
"laDaka baDa anajaana hai
The boy's a total stranger.
sapana hai, sach hai phasaana hai?
He's a dream come true - is he for real or just a story?
haa.n haa.n ye pagala, bilkul na badala!
Look at this mad one, he hasn't changed a bit!
ye to vahii diwaana hai
He's still the same crazy boy."
~-~-~-~-~
~-~-~
Videl stared down from above; looking down at the class that Gohan persisted to teach. Her hair opened, flying in the opposite direction when she turned. Her heavy rise and fall of her chest made her seem more appealing to the male eye—but not like it mattered. He was the same and somehow she knew that's all there is to know…
Fighting not to sigh, her fingers raked through it as a sudden flash of the past streaked her memory…
~!~
She remembered when she just started high school and she became friends with Gohan—the 'odd one out'. It wasn't too soon that she—her bad habits—rubbed onto him but not like she'll ever admit it…
It was a dark day that Videl was stuck outside, with no way to get home. She didn't want to walk home or anything so she just chilled at school and hoped that her father would notice sooner or later, she was missing.
So she waited outside, lying on the damp grass, just waiting for her father, 'the Great Hercule', to come by… but then there was Gohan. Happy and cheerful Gohan… He was actually nice enough to fly her home—but not like she let him go that easily. She blackmailed him into teaching her to fly AND train her to be stronger. If he didn't…well she didn't think that far—or just couldn't remember why she blackmailed him… But even so, those days of training…and the whole friendship that came along with it were good memories—just him and her—and occasionally the chibi duo, Goten and Trunks, would join them too… Yeah, that was some good memories…
They became so close that they thought too alike that it was too scary most of the times.
They shared so many great memories—fishing, camping, and what two great friends would do.
Jokes—they shared so many jokes and laughter that it hurt to think back to it all…
Those great times together—yeah…those soon became memories…
And then there were secrets. Being her best friend she only entrusted him with the things that she had to tell someone. She was even lucky enough to find a person that would keep her secret, whether that she was afraid of rats or what, a secret—and actually apply that knowledge when she was faced against her fears…
They were best friends—she reminded herself over and over.
WERE best friends, she reminded herself over and over again…
"paas rahake bhii thii duurii
We were so close, and yet so far away.
jaane kaisii thii majabuurii
Who knows what sort of compulsion we were under?
vaqt vo bhii ajiib tha
Those were strange times,
jab tuu mere qariib tha
Where you were so close to me."
That picture then faded, as a younger memory of Gohan would cross the past into reality. Right in front of her eyes she saw that same teenage Gohan from 7 years ago. With a grin he walked beside her and rested an arm on her shoulders, saying,
"kho gayii tuu ye kis jahaa.n me.n
Where are you lost?
mai.n yahaa.n huu.n dekh to zara
I'm right here, if only you would look."
~
Back in true reality, Gohan was busy fixing stances and correcting punches and kicks. Wiping the sweat of his face, he rubbed it against his black-cottoned t-shirt. Looking up a bit, he observed the lowering sun from the sky—and then his eyes caught onto the spaced-out Videl. Concerned he waved his hand.
She looked at the younger Gohan and blinked… Then he disappeared as the older one waved at her. She quickly made a smile and waved back…
Hai…yes—they were best friends…so what are they now?
~-~*~-~
It was Gohan's third day here at the camp and it was Christmas Day! Thankfully it didn't snow yet! Not like he wasn't partial to a white Christmas…oh no…he just wasn't too sure that he was prepared for that messy weather—like everything else…
"Ni-chan?"
He froze. He never heard Goten call him 'brother' (in Japanese) in a long time, unless he wanted something. For once, he heard it as if there was nothing attached…as if Goten really was happy and cared so much for him. Smiling, he responded, "Yeah Goten?"
"Time for caroling!!"
Gohan groaned.
Videl shot a deadly look at Gohan as she pulled on her winter coat. "Don't be a baby Gohan! Just get a jacket or something. I'm sure I'll need your help setting up the tall Christmas tree outside!" Without looking for an answer, she just walked outside.
She knew he really had no choice about it…
Ah the joys of being a woman…striking fears into the most innocent men!
Gohan frowned and bitterly cursed under his breath. His mother came into mind…
~-~
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse opened sleigh…hey!**"
"Oh Kami…aren't these kids too old to sing this?" Gohan thought to himself when sitting outside, by himself. He sipped on the hot chocolate and sat back.
His eyes settled on the huge Christmas tree, decorated and shining brightly outside. Videl was right…she would need all the help she could get decorating and setting up this humongous tree. Maybe he was exaggerating a bit, but it wasn't everyday that one would use a 15-foot tall tree…
Oh well…size doesn't matter. As long it looked pretty, then it was all-good. He was surprised that Videl could pull it off. The tree did look amazing when decorated with brilliant coloured-lights and decorations the children had made—also as Videl predicted so. He warmly smiled at the scene before him—
ham bhiiD me.n bhii thii tanhaaii
Even in a crowd, I was lonely.
yaad har pal terii aa'ii
Your memory was forever with me.
roke koii mujhe zara
If someone stops me now,
bhar na aaye ye dil mera
My heart will brim over.
He almost choked on the liquid that he was consuming when his eyes caught onto Trunks…and Lita. Fear struck his face, instantly thinking that they were going to fight. He quickly stood up just incase he had to stop something…
…or not…
It was quite amusing watching Trunks give a girl a present…especially able to see him blush. Gohan was surprised to see Trunks act this way—as if he finally liked this girl to call him her friend…or something even more maybe. Gohan shrugged. Trunks was way to complicated and secretive to figure what he's thinking of… "Must have gotten that from Vegeta." But seeing Trunks hand the girl a wrapped box, a sudden flashback streaked his mind.
~!~
It was eight years ago and a teenage Gohan waited patiently for a certain raven-haired girl.
She panted as she ran up the stairs to finally reach the roof. "Yes? Why did you call me now?"
He handed the box to her. "I told you I'm not going to forget your Christmas present!"
She glared at him and diligently took the box from his hand. Silently and slowly, the shorthaired girl opened the box and gasped when the lid was off.
"Gohan…?"
"I know you don't wear jewelry but I couldn't resist. I really couldn't think of any other gift idea than a friendship necklace thing—but I begged Piccolo to make it as a dragon…"
"Shenlong?"
He nodded.
"I love it," she said in a breathless whisper. She then broke the pendant in half. Waving her hand, she indicated Gohan to turn around so she could fasten his half on him. When she was finished, she allowed Gohan to fasten her necklace on her. Once he told her to turn around, she gave him a tight hug around the neck…
~
At that moment that flashback faded, except that younger Videl clung onto his present self. Looking up at him she said,
"bahake bahake mere kadam hai.n
My steps are unsteady;
aise me.n tuu sa.mbhaal to zara
Only you can help me in this."
Videl was stringing popcorn onto a cord to circle it around the tree. One of the kids that was helping her spoke up, "Videl…don't you think Goten or somebody will eat it when they get hungry?"
Videl frowned. "I never thought about that…" and she then looked at Gohan.
Dropping popcorn in her mouth, she tried to reach Gohan's gaze…and when she did, she gave him a questioning glare.
Gohan blinked at the Videl hugging him and then to the one giving him a questioning glare. He blinked at the false Videl and in an instant she was gone. His head then turned at Videl, giving her a smile, shrugging innocently as he can…
Okay—maybe she was the same. But where do they stand now?
Surprisingly, he wondered if she still had the other half to that pendant because he still had his…
~*~
They fished, hiked, cooked, cleaned, dance, done various art pieces, fought and did numerous other things with the children. Through it all they realized they were still the same as long ago. Truthfully, they had no reason not talk with each other…but still there were those uncomfortable and awkward moments…
..^..
Lita was playing various types of songs (from different cultures) and watched Videl imitate them. All of the girls sat on one side of the room as the boys sat the opposite side, watching them with unknown interest. Videl was in the center, a bit tired and panting, only wearing sweat pants and a tank top. Lita smiled to herself and played a certain type of music.
"Can you please teach us how to tango?"
Videl froze, starring at Lita as if she didn't understand what Lita said. "What?"
She began, "I said 'Can you—"
"Please teach us how to tango," Trunks finished.
Everyone in the room was glaring at the purple haired boy.
Goten and Lita was giving him the most deadly one.
Trunks just smiled as if he wanted to learn, just because he was interested and curious of this art. "What? I think I need a dancing partner to tango!"
Lita grumbled under her breath, "Like I asked you…"
Videl stared at Lita…then turned to Trunks. "I need a partner if I'm ever going to teach you how to tango."
Goten smiled with his legs cross-legged. "Gohan can."
Videl almost groaned.
Gohan eyes snapped open. "What?"
Goten repeated himself, "Gohan can tango!"
Videl gave him a questioning look. "You can tango?" Her question suggested more of unbelief of Gohan's ability rather than confirming it.
Gohan scratched the back of his head, remembering why he had to learn it… Lime. "Uh…yeah. I can tango."
Trunks forced a pout. "Then what are you waiting for! Teach us!"
Videl took in a deep breath as she got up. Biting on her lower lip, she watched Gohan approach her with an uncertain look on her face. He didn't look tense…he just look like as if he didn't know what he was doing. It was the same with her.
He clasped her hands, lacing his fingers between her own. He could feel the heat of her hands as it warmed his cold ones. Maybe he should slip on a jacket over his white shirt…
She waited until she heard the music come on and on the fourth beat her hands grasped on tighter with Gohan's. Then a second later, in unison, they moved to side to side for four beats, then up, and then a turn there…and there…
He didn't know how his arm ended around her waist, but dismissed other thoughts deciding that it was just instinct. Just a second ago he twirled his dancing partner around and then finishing the tango by dipping her toward the ground.
Right now…they were both frozen.
Heavily breathing she stared up at him as he stared down at her…
Now this was one of those uncomfortable situations…
It must have been at least five seconds and they were still at their last position. Goten grinned at them, and then nudged Trunks.
Surprisingly, Trunks was frowning, thinking, "Oh man…I have to do all that?"
Goten never noticed Trunks frown and continued starring.
Gohan began to smile, a bit too foolishly and shy against his will, as he brought Videl up. He felt a bit too tense and uncomfortable, as he didn't notice that Videl looked the same way…
Closed eyes…
Taking a deep breath…
Then frowning at their disposition…
Chuckling a bit at themselves…
Then turning away…
-*-
tumne na jaane kya sapane dikhaa'e
You had no idea what dreams you revealed to me!
jaane na sota hai
I am neither awake nor asleep;
kuchh kuchh hota hai
Something happens in my heart**.
-*-
Lita looked around the room…then at the 'soon-to-be-couple'. She knew what Goten and Trunks were up to and truthfully she wanted the best for Videl and Gohan. Besides they looked cute together! It's just that right now they were in one tight position and needed rescuing.
"So Trunks, you think you can handle the tango?"
Trunks made a small glare at her but then his face relaxed a bit with same evil thoughts clouding his brain. "Oh you bet I am."
Goten looked at Lita then at Trunks. He then blinked as if he was disbelieving something. He wondered if it was just him that he noticed that Trunks actually looked eager to dance with a girl…as if he liked her. He frowned. Nah…this was Trunks…he was just doing it for Gohan and Videl. But Goten smiled a bit. Enemies become friends…and friends would soon become lovers…just as he hoped Gohan and Videl would become...

Jingle Bells

HEY!
I just realized that she got it from the "Batman version" of Jingle Bells. Oh well… This one is mine now!!
***= OMG ahhh—the last song is again from the same movie and it's when the two people fight—but realize that they're the same after whatever—like every day life…. And if you pay attention to the translation of "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" don't tell me that's it different…because I realize that. Maybe other people (from the websites where I got it from) interpreted it in another way. *shrugs* both have good meaning…

About the play…it's kinda based on my story called "Trial of the Hearts" I made for school and uploaded on FF.N and I know I crossed dbz and Escaflowne in it—but not like my teacher watches anime—besides I got an A+…I bet my teacher was too lazy to read it all because I hand it in as one and it was like…a lot of pages (can't remember now) so she just gave me that…. *sweat drops again* But they're about in the middle of the play… and they're really not doing it in front of an audience…it's just a group of kids and the ones that are not playing a role just watch and when it's their part to play—then they're on stage. Hey—I know it isn't that creative—I had to think of something for the reunion! I did have a dirtier one in mind—but I think this way is better…
And I believe the word for "story" is "histoire" Yeah—it also means history sometimes—but sometimes it means 'story'…I know I spelt that wrong…*tummy growls* I'm hungry! It's not my fault!
wind: LOL and I think Gohan would be out of character if he does torture Yamcha—a little spoiler for you!!
VideliGohan: You cried? Yes!! Success!! I want people to cry from this. I cried my ass off watching the movie—I want people to suffer as I did…but the movie is like waaayyy better than this—
FloralBlackMoon: This late update is what you get when you're DRUNK!! I'm kidding… I know it's rushed that's why I had to go back and add stuff… but how much do you want Videl to suffer? And Videl feminine—I can see it—just look at the pics in GT—I can throw up. At least she looks good in MY STORY mwahahaha! And Yamcha—well Sharpener is over-used my friend…and I hate Sharpener…and Yamcha is close—er—was close to Gohan—and that plays a part in this story…sorry I'm not going to give it away…I'm sure I explained this before…
Oh—Gohan had to check with Vegeta first—jus to make sure—and you think Vegeta would care to help Kakarott's brats? No I don't think so…
And don't worry about Gohan's sexiness…I have enticing plans with him… I'm thinking water…
perrin: As long you keep on reading my story—you'll see! Trust me—it's worth it!
To everyone else: Thanks for your reviews! I love you! You made my week!
Finally MY long, yet very important note:
I'm so sorry I couldn't update on Sunday like how I'm suppose to! I just couldn't find the time to edit or write anything last week. I left my Christmas shopping at the last minute and I know that's not a good thing…BUT I FOGOT and I never knew Christmas was so close! Yeah…I know it's a lame excuse—but it's the truth…I really have a bad track of time and it's sad.
Friday night I had Karate and I watched this old movie called "Dilwale Dulhani le Jayenge" (I know I spelt that wrong) starring Sharukh Khan and Kajol (the same people in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) and I could have edited this on that night but I needed to pay attention because there is a possible chance I'm going to turn that into a [G/V]! A little hint for ya!
Saturday night I had to attend this Christmas Party and since I'm kind of tight with the people (karate Christmas party) I was in the play, choir. Okay that's not much…but I was Santa's helper and I looked so cute in the red dress ^^ Ahem…well I had much preparation for the play and choir and yeah—I got my period that night! AHHHH I was going to cry! And only two people saw that I was sad (well had the guts to ask me if I was okay). This guy saw me walk in and he was so nice and asked me why I looked sad--but I didn't tell him (because he's a guy). I was soo sad and depressed that it ruined my whole fucking mood that night. And this other girl could tell I was sad about something—that's how obvious it was… *sigh* So no editing that night…
Sunday—I woke up early because of my fucking period (I have problems sleeping when I get it). So I was downstairs drinking tea and watching t.v. with my mom for 4 hours. Then she had to go to work. Then my brother comes downstairs and we fought, play cards and checkers, fight some more, and then I made lunch/breakfast for him…then we played some other shit that I can't think of right now. But I was able to write something—a Christmas special, which I don't have time to edit or do anything with it. I decided that I'm not going to upload it this year. In fact I'm hesitant to do it at all. The reason for the season is Jesus (his birth) and a lot of friggen people are so stupid that they don't know that (no offense…I'm a little too PMS-y right now) Like what the hell is a holiday tree? It's a CHRISTMAS TREE FOR GOODNESS SAKE! So why am I hesitant is mainly because most holiday fics have no plots/originality—and it's hard for me to exclude the 'religious purpose' behind Christmas! So I wrote 5 pages…and not uploading it 'cuz I never finished it and it's Boxing Day—and I'm too busy with this fic to finish the Christmas fic.
Monday…I can't remember what I was doing—oh yeah…my mother made me do so much housework. Oh my goodness…I swear that lady always finds work for me to do…
Tuesday my cousins came over…
Wednesday was Christmas and I did get editing done… but the rest of the time was spent playing games… and WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS NANANANANA NAAAAA *sticks out tongue* It was so pretty though because on Christmas eve there wasn't much snow and in the morning there was and it was still snowing…it was so…beautiful… *wipes tear* Yeah… you probably think I'm high or something…nope it's just candy canes!
Now about the chapter:
Yeah…I know it sucks…and I know it's rushed… . But the point is for Gohan and Videl to be friends—or at least act like friends… I mean to show that they know that they're the same and starting to build a relationship. But then again…I'm trying to portray that all is not well—take heed in those uncomfortable moments…and what Yamcha is up to!! Okay—I never revealed it—but take heed to his thoughts! Very important…and may give big hints in upcoming chapters…
~~
Okay, that's it for now! Take as many Shenlong cookies as you desire! Next time I'm going to make…Future Trunks cookies! *drools*
Uhh, you know what I want for Boxing Day present? Yeah I know you're supposed to give me a Christmas present but I kind of didn't have this chapter ready…so y'all gonna give me a Christmas/Boxing Day present… and I want REVIEWS!
And yes, the next chapter will probably be out on Sunday or Monday…but it'll be most likely on Sunday…or when my story is not displayed on the [G/V] screen. ^^
Oops I forgot to mention one more thing…I'm a proud new owner of GameCube © and have both Mario Sunshine and Smash Bros. Melee…and so I'm just playing those games…that's all I have been doing. So now I'm Melee-o-holic…meaning the update may come later…but if I get lots and lots of reviews then maybe…just maybe I can ignore Mario's funny Italian face and not kick some Smash Bros. butt…and get editing… I also forgot to mention that I'm also trying to review everything I learned in school—you know—I forgot everything I learned and exam time is coming up really quickly…
I have cable too (just recently—okay maybe a month ago) and I spent like tons of hours watching movies… like Bruce Lee ^^ Oh man…some of them were just to hilarious when their voices were dubbed over! *Clears throat* Okay, that's all for now!!
Reviews, praises and hungry people are always wanted!
