Aight all here's the next chapter. I couldn't think of a title, so if you guys have any ideas please tell me!!!
Storm: Another brilliant work, if I do say so myself.
J-rose: Psh, yeah right. Like a monkey with a typewriter couldn't do better than this.
Storm: Go ahead then.
J-rose: Fine then! I will! Hey wait a minute…
Storm: Right. While Rose attempts to figure out the subtle insult I directed towards her, lets get on with the story. Thanks to all my reviewers, please keep it up!
Disclaimer: I do not now, nor will I probably ever own Dragon Ball Z or any subsidiaries (that was one of our vocabulary words for school!) associated therein.
Gohan landed on the grass outside his home, Videl still clutched in his arms. She had fallen asleep somewhere over South City, and had been out since. Gohan walked softly inside, tipping the door open with his toe, and floated gently up the stairs to his room. He laid Videl carefully down on the bed and crept back downstairs. Just as he reached the kitchen, Goten came bounding in, followed by an angry Chi-Chi.
"GOTEN! YOU GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!" Chi-Chi bellowed, storming past Gohan. "Oh, hi, Honey." she said to Gohan as she whipped past.
"Mom! Can you keep it down?! Videl's asleep upstairs!" Gohan yelled at Chi-Chi's back.
"It's ok, Gohan." a sleepy voice said from the top of the stairs. Videl meandered down to stand next to Gohan. She yawned. "I'm up."
"Hi, Videl!" Chi-Chi's voice shouted from the other room. She reappeared, a struggling Goten caught under her arm. He giggled madly, trying desperately to get away.
Gohan leaned close to Videl, whispering in her ear. "Let's get out of hear. We don't want to be around when my mom is mad." Videl gave a small nod, and they slowly crept sideways towards the back door. (A/N: Ok I couldn't think of anything that Goten could have done so I'm making this chapter interactive! You just think of whatever mischievous deed you'd like to see our little demi-Saiya-jin get into, and stick it in text! Isn't that fun?) Fortunately, Goten managed to free himself, and their escape went unnoticed. Just as they were leaving, Chi-Chi opened a cabinet, producing her new and improved Frying Pan of Doom and Destruction. She raised it high above her head and threw it at the still fleeing Goten. It hit him squarely in the back of the head, and he fell to the floor. Chi-Chi picked up her Frying Pan, Bane of Saiya-jins, and twirled it around her finger, blowing gently on the tip. (A/N: Western movie type thing if you didn't get that…)
"Have fun, Gohan!" She called over her shoulder as Gohan and Videl left the house.
"How do moms do that?" Gohan muttered to himself. Videl situated herself under a tree, and Gohan sank down next to her. She laid back, resting her head in his lap.
"So, Gohan…" She started, looking innocently up at him.
"Yeah?" He replied absent-mindedly.
"How did you beat my father?" This caught Gohan off guard.
"Well, Videl." Gohan began, looking seriously at her. "I could tell you that, but then I'd have to kill you." Videl glared up at him. "Ok, ok." He said. "I'll tell you what. If you can catch me, then I'll tell you." With that, he soared into the air, leaving Videl lying surprised on the ground. She cursed to herself, then took off after him. Gohan teased Videl for nearly an hour, darting through the air, hiding in easily accessible places and then getting away just when Videl thought she had him, and generally just making Videl mad. Gohan finally lost her, and stopped for a moment to catch his breath. Videl spotted him from high up in the air, and sank to the ground about a hundred feet behind him. She lowered her ki, and crept silently up behind him. She tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned around, fear apparent on his face. She pounced on him, knocking the shocked Saiya-jin to the ground.
"Tell me." She whispered softly to him.
"Alright." He said uneasily. "It's like this… my father was an alien from the planet Vegeta. He was a part of a race of warriors, called the Saiya-jins. Now there is only one true Saiya-jin left, Vegeta, and some demi-Saiya-jins, like me, my brother, and Trunks, Vegeta's son.
"What happened to the Saiya-jins?" Videl asked.
"All of them but five were killed by a tyrant named Frieza. They were all off planet when Frieza destroyed it. Three more were killed by my father, Piccolo, Krillin, and myself. Frieza continued to terrorize the universe. It was my father who put a stop to him on Namek, Piccolo's home planet. Namek was destroyed, but some of the Namekians were saved, and sent to a new planet to start a new life."
"What happened to your father?" Videl questioned.
"He was killed by Cell. If it wasn't for him none of us would be here right now. It's my fault he died. I could have saved him."
"Gohan…you couldn't have done anything against Cell. Even my father had trouble defeating him." Videl said soothingly.
"Your father did nothing." Gohan said quietly.
"What?" Videl asked, confused.
"I killed Cell. I was that little boy there that day."
"But you can't be…" Videl began. But she was cut off as a strong, golden light began emanating from Gohan. His hair went to a deep shade of yellow, and his power surged, pushing Videl back. She covered her eyes with her arm, blocking the small rocks that were flying at her.
"No way…" she muttered as Gohan powered back down. "So all these years I've been living a lie. But somehow, I knew my father couldn't have defeated Cell. He just doesn't seem capable of that kind of power." She sat back, letting everything register in her mind. "Look, Gohan, I need to take some time to think about all of this. I'll…I'll see you later." With that, she got up and flew slowly away.
"Videl, wait!" Gohan yelled after her, but she kept going. Gohan stood there sadly, watching her float slowly away until she was out of sight. He turned slowly, and headed back towards the house.
