Satan City

by Aranoni

The Story is out again, Gohan and Videl pairing. A A/U taking place after the Cell saga you wont wanna miss it.

2. Chapter Two: Out With The Secrets

A/N well uh sorry this took so long but I like to make long chapters instead of many short chapters. I know there's a lot of OOC in some of these parts but just bare with me at most parts. Also I'd like to remind people this is an A/U and I try to explain things in my view and I make small differences in characters.  Also I apologize with this being smaller than the first chapter but I wanted to release it so nobody would get impatient. Well without further ado Chapter two. Oh and I will be adding in your suggestions around chapter 4 or so…

Disclaimer: I don't own anything of DBZ nor DB however I do own this piece of writing.

                Videl woke up not knowing what room she was in. After a brief look around she distinguished some textbooks and noticed with shock 'I'm in Gohan's Room… I need to take a shower' she thought as she sat up realizing the ear rings she wore last night were on the desk 'I wonder if Gohan put me in here' she thought absently, as she walked to the kitchen seeing that Gohan and Goten had already eaten.

                 She looked for Chi-Chi and upon finding her asked shyly "Do you have a shower?" Chi-Chi looked at her and said apologetically "sorry dear we only have a bath house and I think Go…" Chi-Chi stopped abruptly "I think its empty so go ahead and Go in there. Videl nodded with a smile and when she got her change of clothes, shampoo, conditioner, and soap she walked to the bathhouse.

                She walked inside and noticed that the steam was so thick it was impossible to see three feet in front of her. She stripped down to her skin sliding into the bath with a grateful sigh. However the serenity would not last long; Videl felt a shift in the water and noticed with alarm that someone was in the bath with her.

                Gohan heard someone get into the water and ducked his body into the water showing only his head. The person must have heard the splash because whoever it was did the same thing. He searched for whose ki it was 'It isn't Goten It isn't moms its… Oh shit…' Gohan called out hesitantly "Uh hey Videl"

                 The voice stuttered back "G-G-Gohan?" Gohan scratched the back of his head. As the voice continued "Chi-Chi told me no-one was in here." Gohan could see his mother doing that "Its ok Videl it's a bubble bath I can't see anything" Videl relaxed to those words. 'Unless I go underwater' Gohan thought passively 'Uh oh what if she goes underwater to wash her hair'

                Videl couldn't believe it she was in the bathtub with Gohan. "H-Hey Gohan?" asked Videl shakily "Yes?" Gohan answered shyly  "is there something I can wet my hair with?" Gohan answered "No you just have to go underwater." Said Gohan. Videl blushed "Its ok Videl ill get out now" Gohan said still blushing like mad.

                 Videl bit her lower lip as she heard Gohan get out of the water. 'Damn I knew I forgot something, Just my luck' Gohan thought 'no towel' Gohan asked shyly "Umm Videl do you have an extra towel?" Videl looked down since she didn't have long hair anymore she didn't see the need of having a towel to wrap her hair in. "No but you can have mine." Gohan gulped and said "ok I'm coming over there" Videl secretly wanted to keep watching but she knew it was rude so she took a breath of air and dived underwater and held her breath as long as she could.

                When she came back up for air Gohan had wrapped the towel around his waist and had walked outside she waited for a few minutes and then Gohan entered again fully clothed he handed her a towel as he walked out of the bathhouse blushing madly.

                When Videl had gotten over initial shock of having the chance to see Gohan in anything but long sleeved clothes, she had dressed and gone looking for Gohan to apologize. She saw Chi-Chi and asked where they were "Oh the boys?" They went swimming in the lake about a mile that way. Chi-Chi pointed east "Thanks" Videl said as she sped off in the given direction. She heard a guy laughing and when she stepped out a back was turned to her wearing swimming shorts.

                'That cant be Gohan' "Uh Gohan?" Videl said as Gohan froze wanting to fly away 'SHIT!' He turned around as Videl gaped at what he was hiding behind the sweatshirt perfectly toned abs with muscled arms and chest. He stood rubbing the back of his neck. "Uh hi Videl" he said with a blush" Goten looked at Gohan "Does this mean I can stop acting weak?" Goten asked quietly "no" was the only response Gohan gave

                Goten shrugged and jumped back in the lake. Videl still gazed at Gohan. "Gohan why on earth do you wear a sweat shirt?" Videl asked as Gohan only rubbed the back of his neck "Uh well I uh." Gohan stuttered; "I don't want people to know that I'm bulky" Gohan finally gave. "Why wouldn't you want people to know that unless..." Then Videl looked at him suspiciously  "Gohan spar with me" Gohan said solemnly "but I don't want to" Videl was going to take a risk with this one but she had to be sure.

                 She threw a punch at Gohan, which he dodged. "Videl what are you doing?" Gohan said dodging each punch "I'm sparing with you" was the only answer Videl gave 'Gohan just go ahead and beat her. You cant She will think you a freak if you show how much stronger you are than her. How do you suppose he lose then your not very good at acting and you wont get any bruises… Ok Gohan don't do much all you have to do is fly.'

                Gohan sighed which made Videl frightened 'How can he sigh when I'm throwing my best punches?' Suddenly there was nothing to punch at "Up here Videl" said a deep voice she was shocked "How did you do that Gohan?" Gohan shrugged "It's a trick" Videl glared at him jumping at him trying to kick him in mid air. He caught her foot grabbed her by the shoulders and stood her right side up. She started to shake violently "I'm not going to hurt you Videl" Gohan said stopping Videl from shaking

                 "I'm not as tough as I look" Gohan said as Videl looked him straight in the face. He didn't have the hard eyes of a killer and she relaxed even more. "Uh Gohan can you set me down?" Gohan nodded Goten came out of the water "Now can we fight for real?" Gohan shook his head "Later I have to explain a lot to Videl." Goten nodded and flew off to home "Who else can fly?"

                 Videl asked sarcastically "The only people at the dinner party last night that couldn't fly was Bulma Chi-Chi and you. However I can change that" Videl looked frightened "How?" Gohan grinned "in exchange for you not telling anyone about my secret Ill teach you how to fly." Videl's eyes grew. "You can be taught how to fly?" Gohan nodded

                "Yea I taught Goten how to fly though he's a bit more powerful than you, you can probably still learn just as fast." Videl looked doubtfully "Goten more powerful then me?" Gohan sighed he didn't want to give away anything else but he didn't want Videl to think Goten was weak and get in trouble in a spar.

                "Goten can do this" Gohan raised his finger forming a small amount of ki at the tip. Videl gaped in amazement at Gohan. "What is that?" Videl asked dumbstruck. She lightly touched it and immediately pulled her hand back. Gohan sighed, "Its what keeps our bodies running its called ki" Videl asked hesitantly "so everybody has ki?" Gohan nodded "yes everybody especially you." Videl blushed "If I trained you Videl you could easily become the strongest woman in the world" Videl blushed "I'm not that good" Gohan shook his head "when you competed in the tournament you won second place right?"

                Videl nodded" "And girls are allowed to compete correct?" Videl nodded again gaining some confidence "Then why would you think you were not already one of the strongest women alive?" Videl turned the brightest red you could ever imagine.

                She smiled crookedly "What if I said I don't believe you?" Gohan looked puzzled "There is just no way that this can be real or else my dad would have found out how to do it." Gohan sighed 'Great now what do I say?' Gohan shook his head "How could I prove it? You have seen me fly seen me disappear before your eye and form ki in front of you what else can I do?"

                Videl smiled "fight in the world martial arts tournament." Gohan gaped "But wouldn't that be the same if you just told the whole world?" Videl only smiled sweetly "I don't think your telling the truth then." Gohan pouted in stubbornness "Ok but then I wont teach you how to fly." Now it was Videls turn to pout, "Oh come on Gohan I want to see how strong you are. Plus I want to fly!"

                Gohan turned his head "the only way I could possibly go is if everybody else will." Videl knew who he meant by everyone and lowered her head. "Can I go when everyone else does?" a voice called, Videl looked behind her and saw Goten. Gohan put on a look of distress "Your going to tell everyone aren't you?" Gohan said already knowing the answer.

                 Videl put on a look of utter joy and victory "You have to teach me how to fly as well." Gohan shrugged sighing as he did so "Ok we will start now, Goten get down here" Videl was looking at Gohan questioningly  "Uh what do you mean start? Why do we need Goten?" Gohan sighed, "You don't know how to control ki yet so first you need more ki"

                Videl scratched her head "I train everyday how can Goten being here give me a better work out then what I usually do?" Gohan smiled "Who said anything about working physically? Goten isn't going to do physical work with you I will. Right now though we are just doing mental work" Videl once again looked puzzled as Goten sat on the ground cross-legged.

                "Videl follow Goten's example." Gohan told her with a bit of a grin. Videl sat down as Gohan got stones from a river. Gohan threw the rocks to Goten and said "Ok Goten do your usual work out with those while I get Videl started on the basics." Goten nodded levitating the stones and flying them back and forth shocking Videl. "Ok Videl you know how you flex your muscles?"

                Videl nodded "Try doing that except don't tighten just imagine moving the energy to one part of your body." Videl did as she was told but felt no difference. Gohan smiled "Good you did that very well now do it while trying to bring out the energy. Videl looked at her hands and tried to focus the energy but failed "Easy Videl don't tighten up relax" Videl relaxed and to her surprise noticed a brief ball of light shine on her hand as she felt very dizzy collapsing on the spot.

                  Her head was in Gohan's lap noticing he wore his usual outfit she stared absently into coal black eyes. She smiled as the face smiled back "Very good Videl" she sat up "what happened?" Gohan only smiled "you passed the first test you were able to bring out your energy confirming my former belief."

                 Videl looked at him curiously "and what would that belief be?" Gohan only smiled "Don't take offense when I say you're too weak right now to hold energy." Videl blushed "I'm not weak!" Gohan smiled "You aren't weak but you are too weak to handle energy."

                Videl looked sad "Don't worry Videl ill train you personally to get you into shape." Videl looked smug "fine Mr. trainer train me." Gohan nodded pulling out a pair of her clothes she blushed as she saw that it also included a pair of her underwear "Gohan you pervert what are you doing with my clothes!" Videl yelled blushing a deep crimson. Gohan winced "Sorry I didn't ask permission but while you were out I took the liberty of altering your clothing."

                 Videl looked down at her clothing seeing no apparent difference "what's different about them?" Videl asked double-checking the clothing "nothing really except that they are fifty pounds in weight when worn." Videl was doubtful "How is that even possible?" Gohan shrugged "Beats me Piccolo taught me it I'm not sure how it works either I'm wearing a pair of altered clothing right now."

                 Videl looked at the clothing 'I liked him better shirtless then with that sweat shirt.' Videl blushed "Gohan pointed to a clearing in the woods promising not to watch as Videl stepped out into the woods. She double-checked to make sure nobody was watching pulling off her shirt and bra quickly exchanging it with the altered ones at once feeling the difference.

                 The clothing he had picked out for whatever reasons were pants with a belt a tank top and a shirt. When she had completely changed her clothing she staggered back to Gohan. Gohan smiled "I hope fifty pounds isn't too much oh I almost forgot your shoes"

                Gohan said as he blasted a weird form of ki at her shoes. "How long till I get used to it?" Gohan smiled "It should only take an hour then ill increase it to around sixty pounds if you can handle it." Videl stared "Might I ask how much your clothes weigh?" Gohan chuckled "Ill tell you that it's more than a hundred pounds" 'just add a couple more zeroes' Videl gaped as Gohan got up.

                "Well lets go train," Gohan said as he started for his training ground. When they got there Videl was mortified with what she saw "It looks like a nuclear testing ground" she said absently seeing the many pot holes and charred trees. "Don't worry we wont go hard core in your first training session."

                 Gohan said as Videl wandered about "Ok Videl, attack me." Videl did as she was told Gohan easily avoiding the punches "Come on Videl faster." Videl sped up desperate to get at least one hit in.

                Finally Gohan was hit in the back by something as Videl kneed him in the stomach. Gohan staggered backward a few feet surprised more than anything. Gohan looked in back of him seeing Goten smile obviously very proud of himself.

                Gohan glared then looked in front of him smiling sweetly at Videl "Very good way to take advantage of a… "Distraction"" Gohan said as he fired a ki blast at Goten knocking him probably far away. Videl looked on in shock she had given Gohan her best hit and all he had done was turn around and blast Goten.

                 The rest of the training session had gone by, Gohan had been impressed that she went from fifty pounds to seventy pounds in less than three hours. However she had to tighten the belt because clothing that weighed more tended to fall down.

                 Finally the sun started to set and Videl was very tired. "Hey Videl lets get back to the house." Gohan said not a hint of fatigue. Videl shook her head "I don't want to stop not that I'm so close to getting stronger." Gohan nodded "Try to make a ki ball again." Videl did as she was told and soon had a ki ball on her palm. Gohan only nodded "You see you're already stronger if you can handle ki."

                 Videl then let the ball drop to the ground and immediately she felt dizzy. Gohan ran up and caught her before she fell. "Well Videl you were able to hold it longer." Gohan said as he looked to the sky searching for his brother's ki. 'I didn't mean to toss him that far away from home.' Gohan flew to his brother's ki finding Goten having fun with a dinosaur.

                 "Goten dinners done!" Gohan called knowing it would get Goten to go home which it did as he passed by Gohan he chanted wildly "Food for Goten! Food for Goten!" Gohan smiled as he went back to the area he set Videl in; noticing she was still asleep. Gohan picked her up and started to slowly fly her to his house as she cuddled up into his embrace.

                She woke up to alarm clock that was set two hours before school started 'Damn we are never going to make it, it takes four hours to get to school in the copter.' Videl went to the bathhouse cleaning promptly feeling a huge difference from the altered clothing to her regular clothes. When she went to eat breakfast she noticed Gohan already stuffing his face.

                 When she sat down he had already finished "So do you want to go once you finish breakfast?" Gohan asked "I don't see a point because if we go we will be two no three hours late. Gohan shrugged "We are taking the express namely me." Videl gaped for a few moments then remembering, "How fast can you fly?" Gohan shrugged "fast enough to get us there."

                 Videl finished her breakfast got her duffel bag packed it up and walked outside." Videl looked at Gohan who had dressed out in his nerd suit. "Can we make a quick stop at my house?" Gohan nodded picking Videl up she blushed as Gohan started to fly toward her house. The wind was very cold so she subconsciously leaned against Gohan's chest sharing his warmth.

                 Gohan had sped up and Videl was amazed to see the blur going by "Hey Gohan how long until we are there?" Videl asked shyly. Gohan looked down and said somewhat laughing, "we are here." Videl looked blankly at her house as Gohan landed on the roof. "No wonder you can keep up that schedule" Videl said with a grin on her face.  

                She jumped to her balcony as Gohan took note where it was. Videl came back out with her backpack as Gohan picked her up again flying about a mile away from the school. "We have about twenty minutes left so we can walk." Gohan said calmly as Videl looked into his eyes.  Videl minutes later decided to break the silence "So are you planning on telling anybody else in the school other than me about your ability?"

                 Gohan shrugged "Nope I plan on going in disguise so then nobody will notice me." Videl laughed at this "What are you going to do wear a fake mustache?" Gohan smiled "I don't really know what I will dress up like I was planning on wearing a mask like some of those pro wrestlers." Videl chuckled "If you go shirtless nobody will notice you." Gohan blushed then grinned,    

                 "A shirtless guy wearing a mask I must say it sounds original at least." Videl laughed but soon stopped as they passed through a dark alleyway a guy jumped out grabbing Gohan by the head holding a knife to his neck. Gohan kept his look "Help me Videl." Gohan said trying not to laugh "Shut up you little nerd or ill slit your god damn throat." Said the stranger Gohan had to consider his options. "Hey Videl go ahead and attack this guy don't worry about me." Videl was in total fear 'Gohan might be strong but he's not immortal!'

                The stranger held the knife tighter against Gohan's skin Gohan only growing more serious. Videl wanted to attack but the chances Gohan surviving are slim. Gohan solved her dilemma by grabbing the arm that held the knife  "Let go your breaking my arm!" Gohan sighed "Amazing I could have swore you were threatening to kill me" Gohan said tightening his grip

                "The stranger dropped the knife as Gohan threw the stranger into a trash bin." Videl was in a little disbelief but she slowly was getting used to it. "Do you ever get scared?" Videl said starting to walk to the school again "Sure if there's something to be scared about."

                "Hey Gohan are you sure you and Videl aren't a couple?" Gohan blushed madly as he sat in the first hour. Videl blushing just as hard 'we were close' Videl thought ruthlessly cursing Goten in the process. Gohan smiled "I know I've repeated myself around twenty times but ill do it again. We are just friends." Sharperner just smiled evilly "but you have all the signs of a couple you go home together you eat lunch together you talk a lot, too much if you ask me. You spend the night at each other's houses you have dinner together. How can you not be a couple?"

                 Gohan blushed redder "Friends do that also though." Sharperner gave up for the time being "I guess it is hard to believe Videl strongest girl in the world is going out with a nerd anyway." Videls face went white remembering how strong Gohan is as she turned to him she nearly fainted when she saw Gohan was just smiling. "Yea I guess it is pretty hard to believe"

                 Gohan said grinning though in contempt. Videl decided to speak up "Gohan's not a nerd I bet he could kick your butt." Sharperner started to laugh uncontrollably finally coughing to a stop he said calmly "Fine we will have an arm wrestle as soon as it's lunch." Gohan decided to grin even more "Good want to make some wagers?" Sharperner started to smile "Sure how about we make Videl the bet"

                That idea was thrown out the window as Videl almost did the same to Sharperner "It was a joke" Sharperner cried "How about this if I win you have to stop calling me a nerd and you have to stop embarrassing Videl." Videl blushed at this Sharperner just smiled "Ok and if I win you have to tell me the truth about the relationship and you cant call me a muscle head anymore."

                 Gohan nodded, the rest of the day went by quickly as lunch rolled around Gohan wishing to eat more than do arm wrestling. Gohan and Sharperner stepped to a desk and sat down separate seats. Sharperner pulling out a cloth and putting it under his arm Gohan did no such thing.

                 Most of the girls huffed a lot of comments about male pride and idiots. However there were a select few like Videl who were rooting for somebody to win mostly all the girls that were for the match voted for Sharperner Videl unsurprisingly voted for Gohan. Gohan nodded at the surprisingly huge crowd that had gathered Gohan and Sharperner clasped arms as the match began Gohan leaned his arm slightly to the left causing Sharperner to try with all his might to move the arm to the right Gohan started to move his arm to the right following Sharperner still keeping the calm expression Videl looked at the arms noticing Gohan putting no effort in to it but Sharperner put all his might into it.

                 Gohan sighed and easily leaned Sharperner arm to the left pinning it to the table the crowd took on a look of shock as Gohan stood up shaking Sharperner's hand as he left for the roof Videl quick in pursuit.

                "That was cool Gohan" Videl said Gohan just sighed, "I hope everybody still thinks I'm a nerd." Videl looked exasperated "Why can't people think you're strong?" Gohan thought back to the reasons why he had chose it "Because I don't want to be famous its to protect my family from the paparazzi."

                Videl remembered how much the press had bothered her when she had become the junior champion and showed sympathy to Gohan. "Oh Gohan I forgot to ask Vegeta but I saw a Gold haired fighter more than once at this school." Gohan looked worried "Was there anything in particular about him?" Videl glanced at Gohan "other than the obvious blonde hair and turquoise eyes he wore clothes similar to yours except he had more muscles."

                 Gohan coughed at that 'Good the only time she truly saw me was when I was Super level two that should make it easier.' "Maybe there is one that I haven't seen yet?" Gohan said speculatively "Which reminds me when is the tournament?" Videl thought, "I think it's in two or three weeks." Gohan grimaced "Well I can't say I'm looking forward to it." Videl turned her head sideways "I still don't understand something. I don't mean to change the subject or anything but how did Vegeta turn his hair gold?"

                 Gohan thought about this 'Great now what can I tell her… Vegeta made it sound like a process that turned his hair gold because he said after the fight he went back to normal which he did. Can I possibly say that it's the way he looks when he's angry? Maybe I can say its how he powers up… I can't say that. He made the transformation sound like he didn't know anything about it… Shit Vegeta really screwed me here could I tell her about the Sayians? Tell her that Vegeta and Trunks are the only ones that still survive? Well it sounds good but do I want to take such a risk? Well I cant really tell her anything else.'

                The conversation with him only took around twenty seconds "If I tell you this Videl you have to promise not to tell anyone else. Promise?" Videl contained a squeal of delight 'I'm able to get more out of Gohan each day.' Videl nodded her head "Ok I'm going to tell you a story that will start now but ill finish when you come over to train."

                 Videl nodded getting in a relaxed position as Gohan cleared his throat "There once reined a tyrant named Frieza. Frieza was an evil being who only wished to take over the universe. Under Frieza there were different races of aliens who set off to take over planets. One of these races was called Sayians." Videl raised her hand "I'm sorry Gohan but there is no way I can believe something like that its just way too far fetched."

                Gohan sighed "Well ok but its an interesting story anyway if you want to know about it." Videl nodded "Sure it's been a while since I've heard a decent story." Gohan raised an eyebrow "In any case the Saiyan race was a blood thirsty one yet their only difference between appearances between the Saiyans and humans were that Saiyans had a tail. However Frieza soon became afraid of the Sayians for they started to become powerful and could some day overthrow him so he blew up their home planet."

                 Videl eyes nearly flew open "A whole planet! Destroyed? By what?" Gohan shrugged "from a ki blast" Videl nearly fainted "Can your brother blow up a planet?" Gohan thought for a second 'Probably but I can't tell her that' "Of course not Goten isn't strong enough to have blown up a planet and for that matter neither am I" the bell rang as Gohan and Videl went to their classes Videl eager to listen to the rest of the "Fairy Tale".

                As Videl left her Dad a note telling her she'd be at a friends house till six Gohan got his facts together about Frieza deciding what to tell her and what not to tell her. Gohan picked Videl up gingerly as they flew to Gohan's house landing on the door mat he set Videl down opening the door.

                 "Hey mom me and Videl are going to be training." Gohan thought he heard Goten bounding to the front door and then a sound like a bell echoed throughout the house. "Ok Gohan sorry but Goten cant join you right now." Gohan glanced down to see Chi-Chi holding a frying pan and he could almost see Goten's happy face imprinted on the inside.

                 "Ok later mom." Gohan said. Videl called out before running after Gohan "Good day Mrs. Chi-Chi." Chi-Chi waved as she closed the door going back to Goten seeing him on the ground spirals for eyes. "Sorry Goten but I just cant have you ruining it for Gohan and Videl." Goten snapped out of his hypnosis as he started to look around with Chi-Chi smiling "Mom I wanted to go train with Gohan." Goten started to pout as Chi-Chi started to grin, "Oh I thought you wanted three times as much dinner tonight guess I was wrong." Goten immediately agreed to leaving Gohan alone for the day.

                "Ok Videl where were we?" Videl gazed at the lake they sat by "I think we left off at Freeza blowing up the Sayian home planet.' Gohan nodded "Well Frieza had let live some Sayians somewhat as pets. Now there was a legend with the Sayians that if you achieved true power you would turn into an ultimate force called a Super Sayian." Videl rose an eyebrow "They are creative with names aren't they?"

                Gohan shrugged  "Three of the Sayians Freeza let free were by the name of Raditz Nappa and…" Gohan took a huge sigh "Vegeta" Videl gaped at this "Your saying Vegeta is a Sayian!" Gohan nodded "Actually he's the prince of Sayians in case you were wondering about the whole high and mighty act." Videl nodded "Anyways at this time my father Goku was being raised by his grandfather Gohan."

                 Videl smiled "From where you got your name I presume?" Gohan nodded "Yes Goku's grandfather was killed by an unknown creature… so Goku had to raise himself." Videl looked down "That must have been tough." Gohan nodded "Yea but its easier then it sounds other than the lonely part."

                 Gohan shook himself "Anyway my father had soon become very strong being one of the only people to master the Kamehameha wave. And soon Frieza set his eyes on planet earth. He first dispatched a man named Raditz to take it over he captured me for some reason but with the help of my dad and Piccolo they were able to defeat him. However Raditz had a communicator on directly linked to Vegeta and Nappa. Soon they were heading to us, so we trained and yes I did train with Piccolo for about a year." Videl listened intently

                 'This sounds really far fetched but could Gohan make this up on the top of his head?' "Now Vegeta and Nappa arrived one day and all the Z-fighters showed up to defeat them except for my dad who was tied up for a few hours. We weren't doing too well until my dad had shown up.

                 My dad defeated Nappa and unfortunately for Nappa Vegeta didn't take kindly to weakness. Now after a hard fight my dad was able to defeat Vegeta however he spared Vegeta allowing him to escape." Videl was wide eyed "He allowed him to live? He was willing to kill all of you and your dad still let him live?"

                 Gohan shrugged "My dad believed everyone deserved a second chance and what do you know Vegeta isn't evil anymore now back to the story. My dad was hospitalized and me and Krilin decided to go to a far away planet to attack these people at the source or they would not leave us alone." Videl stopped him there "So you've been to outer space?"

                 Videl asked incredulously Gohan nodded "what about the other Z fighters why didn't they come?" Gohan stumbled a little "Umm the ship could only support three people" Videl rose another eyebrow "Who was the third person?" Gohan smiled "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Videl glared at him "So you think id believe the rest of this?" Gohan shrugged "It was Bulma." Videl fell over.

                 "But I didn't know she could fight." Videl said in disbelief. Gohan nodded "She cant." Videls mouth dropped but Gohan soon explained, "Nobody else could fly the ship though." Videl nodded "ok Now you went to attack Frieza at the source and?" Gohan continued "We went on a few missions if you will, Vegeta killed most of the people while me and Krilin rarely killed any."

                 Videls mouth dropped "You've killed somebody Gohan?" Gohan nodded sadly "I wish I could say my hands weren't stained with blood however I can't lie." Videl nodded "Its ok Gohan you probably didn't have a choice like me." Gohan looked over at Videl "Both of us aren't even twenty yet we've both killed somebody. It makes me sick."

                Gohan settled his stomach "Well soon my dad arrived in another space ship different from ours because it had a gravity chamber and simpler controls." Videl raised an eyebrow "Gravity chamber?" Gohan nodded "It multiplies the amount of gravity your body is put under up to around five hundred." Videl mouth dropped "Of course my father didn't train up to that much." Videl nodded "Yea I hope so."

                 Gohan nodded "Bulma built one for Vegeta ill show it to you tomorrow if you like." Videl nodded "anyways soon my dad had taken care of most the problems including Frieza and then about five years after my dad defeated Frieza Vegeta was able to obtain the rank of Super Sayian." Videl nodded "So he's a Super Sayian all the time?" Gohan shook his head "No it's a mode where your hair turns gold and your eyes turquoise."

                 Gohan had said that without thinking 'It's only a matter of time before she figures out now good job Gohan.' Luckily though Videl wasn't giving it much thought and got up "hey Gohan I forgot to bring my altered clothes so can you do it directly?" Gohan nodded "OK but there's a chance your whole body will weigh another sixty pounds for the rest of your life." Videls mouth dropped "How were you able to do it with my shoes and when we were training yesterday?"

                 Gohan just smiled "Well the shoes aren't very close to your body so they aren't usually a problem and once I set up a link with the clothes I can alter them without there being a risk" Videl started to blush as she started to stutter "Uh if you promise not to watch. Can I leave the clothes here dive in the lake you do the alteration thingy and then you turn around while I get dressed?"

                 Gohan nodded and soon the plan took form Gohan did the alteration while Videl blushed madly in the freezing lake her hair starting to stand on end. When Gohan was done Videl rushed to her clothes finding out something unpleasant. "Wish I brought a towel out here." Videl grumbled finding it quite a task to get into her clothing while she was wet.

                When Videl had gave the ok Gohan turned around immediately blushing. Videl had her arms crossed as the wet clothes stuck to her body making it almost see through. Gohans body started to react as he saw Videl. Videl started to blush more as she became more aware of Gohan staring

                "Gohan stop staring and lets just get to training." Videl almost shouted. Gohan stopped staring and smiled shooting a ki blast at Videl, which enveloped her in a near roasting heat. As the ki disappeared she noticed she was dry "Never thought id do that more than once." Gohan chided as he nudged Videl in the ready position.

                Videl was breathing heavily starting to feel dizzy "Hey Videl lets stop for the day. "Come on I just reached one hundred-thirty pounds I cant stop now." Gohan shook his head "Resting the body is just as important as training it." Videl dropped her arms to her side and started to stumble as she sat down next to the lake.

                 Gohan joined her "Its amazing how much you have improved in only two days." Videl shook her head "I don't feel any stronger." Gohan looked at her and thought 'a little bit more and she could fly.' "Well you are stronger almost twice as strong as you were three days ago." Videl was in shock but quickly recovered as she asked grumbling  "How long till you teach me how to fly?" Gohan shrugged "Two days because tomorrow we go to the gravity chamber and that will leave you very tired." Videl shrugged as Gohan got up.

                 "Come on Videl ill fly you home" Gohan said with a smile as Videl got up slowly dusting herself off grabbing her back pack as Gohan picked her up and started to fly her home. 'I can get used to this' Videl thought as she leaned against Gohan.

                The day went by quickly with no mishaps whatsoever. Gohan had once again picked Videl up except this time he flew to Capsule Corp. where he had given Bulma advanced warning of their arrival. "Hey Gohan!" Trunks greeted as Gohan set Videl down "Hey Trunks can we come in?" Trunks nodded as Gohan led Videl inside seeing Vegeta. Videl couldn't help herself as she said with a smile "Hello Prince Vegeta."

                Vegeta was slack jawed "So brat you decided to tell her of the Sayians?" Gohan nodded "Yea even the part where you are the last pure blooded Sayian left and Trunks is the last Demi Sayian." Vegeta was puzzled but then noticed what he was getting at "I see." Gohan clasped his arms together as Bulma came in. Gohan started to make his proposition "Say Vegeta can we use the Gravity Chamber?" Vegeta put on a glare "No." Gohan put on a frown "Come on Vegeta only for six hours it's not like your using it. Vegeta shook his head "I refuse to have you and your mate go into my gravity chamber." Gohan glared "We are just friends."

                Vegeta's face went blank, as he had to contain his laughter "Be that as it may I still refuse to lend it to you." As he said that Bulma walked behind Vegeta saying something Gohan couldn't catch as Vegeta put on a huge smile "For six hours Bulma?" Bulma nodded "Well brat you seem lucky today however I ask that you take Trunks with you for six hours also."

                 Gohan had figured out what Bulma offered Vegeta and wasn't surprised when he asked to take Trunks with him after all the Gravity Chamber was nearly sound proof. "Cool thanks Vegeta" Vegeta looked very happy "No thank you Gohan." Gohan was stunned a bit 'Wow must have been a while…' Videl was very curious about the whole situation as Gohan nearly dragged her into the Gravity Chamber. Gohan called Trunks to follow but Trunks wanted to know what his father had agreed to, to leave the gravity chamber alone for six hours of course. Gohan dragged him and Videl into the Gravity chamber before they found out.

                "Wow this place is bigger than I thought it would be." Videl said as she walked around the huge room that had many burn marks and bends on the interior. Gohan shrugged "Hey Trunks what do you usually train at?" Trunks said happily "Dad only lets me do fifty but I know I can do more."

                Gohan nodded "Ok Videl we will start at five times if you feel you cant take the heat tell me and we will lower it." Videl nodded at Gohan punched in the code and soon Videl felt as though something was tugging at her. Gohan nodded switching it up to twenty Videl nearly fell to the ground as Gohan laughed, "Good this is a good pace to start at." Videl looked up to see Trunks and Gohan easily taking the power. Videl started her training with Gohan as Trunks did pushups to the side.

                 Gohan nodded, as Videl seemed to have gotten the hang of it and soon was able to stand up straight like Trunks. Two hours went by in that time and Gohan was very impressed "I've never seen anyone master a new level that quickly" As Trunks puffed "Yea you've never seen anybody but I know for a fact that you had in two hours mastered level three hun…" Trunks was cut off as Gohan clasped his hand over his mouth "Thirty I mastered it in three hours funny huh?" Gohan said with a fake laugh. Videl just shrugged "Ok Videl lets see how you do with thirty times earth gravity." This time Videl nearly fell. Gohan still stood rigid "Well Videl want to see a Super Sayian?" Trunks faltered a little Videl nodded vigorously

                 "Are we going to get Vegeta in here?" Gohan shook his head "Trunks go ahead." Videl turned her wide eyes to Trunks who went Super Sayian as Gohan smiled. "Trunks you need to train more or Goten is going to beat you he knows how to fly now." Trunks frowned "Dad wont let me train with him though and he puts on a code so I cant make the gravity more when I want to."

                 Gohan nodded "Sneak in here when he's doing his work out you should be fine. You can turn Super Sayian if you can't take the heat" Trunks nodded "Wait hold up a second." Videl said catching Gohan and Trunk's attention "Are you saying that Trunks is a Super Sayian?" Gohan nodded "Yea the rascal learned how to become a Super Sayian in the years of his life." Videl fumbled "I feel sorry for Vegeta somewhat" Gohan nodded

                "Oh hey Videl just for your information your about as strong as I was when my dad fought Vegeta about ten years ago. Funny that you can't do a ki blast though." Videl was in dismay "No way there's just no way" Gohan just shrugged "Well you're doing harder training then I did when I was your age so maybe that's why you're stronger." Videl shook her head "Your lying." Gohan shook his head "Haven't you noticed how much faster you've been able to go?" Videl shook her head "Well I guarantee you that you're the second strongest woman in the world." Videl looked down "Whose the strongest?"

                Gohan smiled "eighteen is." Videl quirked in eyebrow "Where did she get the name eighteen?" Gohan shook his head "That's a story for another time lets say Thursday?" Videl nodded as she charged Gohan, Trunks looking on with a grin 'so Videl doesn't know everything there is to know about Gohan… I wonder if she knows half?' Trunks shook his head as he started to punch the air.

                Videl was exhausted as she walked out of the room seeing Bulma and Vegeta both looked like they have gone through as much training as they had. Only then did the thought hit her 'Oh so that's what they were doing?' Videl thought absently as Gohan went to the front door Vegeta saying with a grin "You can come over any time Gohan." Gohan blushed "Ill try Vegeta."

                 Videl blushed as both she and Gohan waved good bye to the family "It's a good thing that most the homework they have been giving us is simple or else I would be in trouble" Videl said as the cool wind dried the sweat which had once plagued her body. Gohan smiled "Yes it's a very good thing but its boring sitting in class learning nothing new." Videl shrugged "Then maybe you should take the college class"

                 Gohan only shrugged "I'll leave that for college." Videl sighed in exasperation "You would get better recommendations if you were in a college class though." Gohan smiled "Then I wouldn't be able to talk to you." Videl blushed as Gohan set her down at her balcony smiling he leapt off flying to his home. 

                Wednesday morning slowly came around though it was all too quickly for Gohan. 'I wonder whose going to be talking to us today' Gohan grumbled as he walked outside to the bathhouse clothes in hand. If you were standing on a mountain two miles away you would be puzzled by a noise that seemed to echo across the country. 'DAMN IT GOHAN WARM UP THE  FORSAKEN WATER!' Gohan was shivering as he gave his mother and brother their good byes and started off to school. 'I have to install a heating system on that bathroom somebody could die of shock!' a nagging voice reminded him of something 'but even Goten remembers to warm up the water…' Gohan glared at himself if possible as he walked into the school to his class room and sat down absently waving to anyone who said hello.

                 Sharperner seemed bored "Well Gohan since Videl isn't here… are you two a couple?" Gohan raised an eyebrow to Sharperner "Do you ever give up?" Sharperner smiled widely "Nope" Gohan huffed "Are you and Erasa a couple?" Gohan smiled as he saw Sharperner fidget he knew about him and Erasa starting to flirt with each other and took great joy in seeing him on the spotlight.

                 Videl walked in as Gohan said with a laugh "Now I know why you do that to me and Videl that is so fun to watch." Videl sat next to Gohan asking innocently "Do what Gohan?"

                Gohan was stopped from talking by a hand clasped on his mouth Sharperner grinning sheepishly "nothing at all! Gohan here was just talking to me about uh" Gohan grinned evilly "Erasa." Sharperner agreed stupidly "Yea that's it I was talking about Erasa." At this point Sharperner paled "Gohan I'm going to kill you!"

                Sharperner nearly yelled as Gohan gleefully hid behind Videl who was laughing quite hysterically. Erasa had chosen this time to show up hearing Sharperner talk about her she blushed but decided to use it to her advantage "What about me Sharperner?" Erasa asked faking a glare. Sharperner nearly died as he saw the look Erasa gave him "Well I uh what I mean is I uh." Sharperner swallowed most of his pride "Erasa would you."

                 Sharperner was silenced as the teacher said calmly "Once again we are taking the whole day to examine the speaker for today since he is almost three times as important as the guy last week." Sharperner blushed a deep red as he wrote Erasa a note passing it to her. Gohan smiled as Erasa blushed at what Sharperner had wrote and wrote a three-letter word the note accidentally fell into Gohan's possession as he quickly read it and handed it to Sharperner who snagged it away from Gohan sighing in relief to Erasa's answer.

                As Gohan stepped out into the hall heading for the auditorium Videl asked smiling "So did Sharperner finally get up the guts to ask Erasa out?" Gohan nodded "Yea though the way he wrote it could have been better" Videl was curious "how so?" Gohan shrugged "He wrote "Do you want to catch a movie this weekend?" I thought he could have done better was all." Videl blushed "What would you have done Gohan?"

                 Gohan blushed madly "Uh well personally I uh" Gohan bent down to Videls ear whispering so no one else would hear "taking you as an example I would fly you to a restaurant then just before the sun rose I would take you to the beach to watch the first of it rise from the sea." Videl blushed a very dark crimson wanting the fantasy to be real

                "Your like an old romantic Gohan." Gohan shrugged "I suppose I am." Videl was starting to feel very dizzy at the moment as she stumbled into the seat Gohan gingerly sitting next to her Sharperner sitting above them with his hand across Erasa's shoulder nudging Gohan pointing at Videl and then pointing at Gohan. Gohan only smiled pointing at Videl then pointing at himself then shook his head.

                 Sharperner sighed nudging Gohan again Sharperner shrugged his shoulders with a questioning glance Gohan blushed a faint tint of pink then crossed his fingers breaking them apart showing two separate fingers Sharperner nodded in understanding. (A/N For all you who didn't catch that ill say the conversation "Get together with Videl" "I cant" "Why not?" "It might break our friendship") Sharperner still puffed but decided to leave Gohan alone.

                Near by a similar conversation took place except with notes and with Videl, the conversation went the same with the one variation of Gohan being the center of attention. Sharperner and Erasa looked at each other and shrugged Erasa writing Sharperner a note reading humorously "They can't avoid each other forever it's only a matter of time before one of them cracks."

                The class waited patiently for the person to appear and Gohan immediately wanted to leave as he saw the reporter who hosted the cell games appear on the stage "Greetings everyone! Today I will talk to you about what it takes to be a reporter what to risk your life for, and finally every inch of coverage on the cell games most of which was not shown on the television" Gohan smiled sheepishly as Videl looked very angry 'I'm tired of listening about my damn father!' Videl seethed as Gohan was breathless 'Videl please don't figure out anything!'

                For about two hours the reporter nonchalantly pointed out all the high lights of his life including the events that led up to him watching over the cell games and soon he was onto the explanation of the cell games "We were the first to arrive at the area planned for the champion ship match.

                 Hercule showed up soon after and invited us to get a closer shot. The champ truly knew what he was doing and I knew from there on that Mr. Satan would save the world." Gohan had to use all his control from not bursting out with laughter at the idiotic comment 'I bet he couldn't harm Cell in his first stage. Let alone his perfect stage'

                "Suddenly a man appeared out of the sky most likely he used a sort of levitation boots and I kindly warned the man that he should stay back to watch the show. Can you believe him? He just gave me a dirty look and said that I was weak."

                Videl scoffed 'wonder who it was that thought he was stronger than my dad?' Gohan only had to hold in his laughter more 'Good old Vegeta' Gohan sighed light heartedly "The champ continued to humiliate cell as more freaks showed up two of them with the strangest eyes you have ever seen it was a mixture of blue and green except there was no pupil." Videl sighed 'They must have been two of the three Super Sayians that died'

                "One of them was a kid and I ask you how dumb did those guys think they were." Videl put her head down 'That poor kid must have died' Gohan tensed to the mention of him "Well the others were strange also I mean one had a third eye! Can you believe that? Well in any case one of the blonde men stepped up to the ring claiming they would fight first.

                Satan was close to point out that he was a weakling and that he didn't want him to get hurt poor man must have been humiliated" "Funny I could have swore Krilin said the same thing" Gohan said underneath his breath. Luckily Videl didn't catch it.  "Mr. Satan decided to let his two pupils fight first both of them did excellent however they could not slow down cell."

                "They did jack" Gohan puffed accidentally with more volume then before Videl noticed Gohan said something but didn't pick out what.  "Mr. Satan entered the ring next however he lost his footing and with so much power packed into it he flew into the mountain." Gohan had to contain his laughter "Too bad so sad." Gohan said Videl picking up on it and nudging him in the ribs.

                 "Next the blonde man who stepped up before made a mockery of the art of martial arts with many light tricks and planted explosions one of which could have killed all the people surrounding the ring as it was almost blown up, finally the wretched cheater gave up."

                 Gohan stood in shock no longer making jokes of it the man had insulted his father. "Then the man elected the boy to fight we first thought that the boy was a delivery person but soon found him to be an actual fighter." "This boy also made a mockery of the martial arts world though somewhere in the fight he did a rather impressive trick we cant find out to this day.

                When mini cells had started to fight the men on the mountain and two other men turned gold haired, he had hooked up something special to himself to make his muscles grow and electricity to spark out from all different directions. Many doctors believe it was steroids."

                Gohan still fumed at the mans earlier remarks 'don't worry you bastard ill show you its not a trick that is when everyone leaves.' "Now this boy seemed to of brought cell to his knees when Cell suddenly got much bigger saying he was going to blow up the planet. The other guy with blonde hair appeared in front of Cell and did a fancy trick to make both him and cell disappear."

                 Videl was in a little disbelief 'my father never told me anything like this did he really beat cell? Did I live a lie?' Videl hadn't noticed the pain welding up inside of Gohan at the mention of his fathers death 'I did it I killed him. I was such a idiot!'' Gohan's hair flickered gold for only a second and nobody had noticed.

                 "Cell showed up again this time shooting one of the men through the heart killing him instantly as the other man released a light show on cell. Then cell incapacitated the man as the boy took a ball of light to the arm. Then as the boy was releasing one last light show, Hercule walked up and chopped Cell in the neck causing him to collapse on the spot he then disposed of the body everyone thanked him and left."

                 Gohan fumed more as Videl thought 'Is it a lie?' "Any questions?" the reporter asked smugly. Gohan raised his eagerly "Yes you in the back?" Gohan smiled "If Cell was able to be taken out in one hit then why didn't Mr. Satan do it in the beginning?" The reporter paled "He couldn't get an open shot next question?" Gohan raised his hand again "Yes?" Gohan smiled "The names Gohan sir and how was a beam of light able to hurt the boy?" The reporter shook his head "It was probably self inflicted do you have any more questions sir?" Gohan nodded

                 "How were Cell and the blonde haired man able to stay levitated and disappear at the same time?" The reporter sighed, "Many say it was a hologram and some say it was mirrors nobody is really sure." Gohan smiled "And where did the lights come from?" The reporter became baffled

                "I don't know the answer to that one." Gohan smiled "Sorry but this is my last question did you see Hercule actually come up and hit cell or did he just tell you." The reporter blushed "ITS LUNCH TIME EVERYONE!" The reporter yelled as he turned around as everyone filed out. Videl tugged on Gohan's shirt "Just a minute Videl I need to talk to this man real fast."

                 Videl shrugged as she went upstairs to Gohan's usual eating spot 'Videl doesn't look too good' Gohan thought as he stepped closer to the reporter "What are you still doing here" The man snarled, "You already made me look like a fool. Gohan stepped up to him turning Super Sayian before the man could blink grabbing him by the collar lifting him off the ground.

                "Do not ever insult my father or those men again they were the ones who saved this planet not a buffed up phony." Gohan spat his anger rising "Don't tell anyone you saw me, they wouldn't believe you in any case just remember your hero is not Hercule it's the "delivery boy"" Gohan scoffed setting the man down turning back to normal as he went upstairs. The reporter slumped his shoulders "Ill have that man arrested for assault!"

                The reporter yelled angrily as he got up stopping as he saw the desk the boy sat at. He immediately changed his mind about seeing the police as he saw the imprint of hands bending the metal.

                "Hey Videl" Gohan said as he sat down for his lunch Videl slowly looked up at Gohan with some tears in her eyes "What's wrong Videl?" Gohan said scooting next to her. "My life has been a lie…" she said a single tear streaming down her face Gohan froze

                "I cant believe my father would take credit away from your friends… three that died in vain." Gohan clasped his arm around Videls shoulder as she started to shake. "They didn't die in vain Videl." Videl looked up at Gohan "They saved the earth what more could anybody want?"

                Videl nodded "Its still unfair." Gohan nodded "I know Videl don't worry that man wont be insulting the dead anymore." Videls tears had stopped "I still cant believe him how could he? How dare he!" Gohan shrugged "How could he not?"

                Videl looked at him questioningly "He was the champion, if someone had surpassed him that much the people would lose hope in him." Videl still hung her head "all those times he bragged about beating cell… and I believed him." Gohan shushed her "Its ok Videl." Gohan slowly released his hand from Videls shoulder as they looked into each other's eyes.

                Gohan started to bend his head towards Videl as Videl wet her lips and   **RING** Gohan and Videl were startled out of their trance as the bell rang. Gohan and Videl were very close to blasting the bell both embarrassed at what they had almost done. Gohan put on a sour face as Videl blushed going downstairs into the auditorium.

                The rest of the day went by with no mishaps as Videl started her first training with ki. "Videl bring out the energy inside your body." Videl nodded controlling a ki ball easily as she smiled "Great Videl now, remember it's harder to hold energy then it is to just fire it. So keep it in your hands." Videl listened and as nearly twenty minutes went by Gohan nodded

                "Excellent your further along then I thought now bring out your energy except this time try to focus it underneath this rock that I hold in my hand." Videl nodded lifting the rock in the air with relative ease. Gohan was nearly slack jawed "I can't believe at how fast you are learning this Videl."

                Videl blushed "Ok Videl last test put energy underneath this tree and lift it out of the ground" Videl was very skeptical but did as Gohan asked slowly starting to lift the tree Gohan becoming more shocked with each passing second 'She's stronger than Goten in his normal mode that's purely amazing.' In no time the tree was off the ground. "Ok Videl now shoot a ki blast at the tree but hold every piece in the air. Videl did so with more strain being put on her body as she fired a ki blast at the tree keeping every shard levitated.

                After ten minutes of strain Videl was nearly about to collapse "I am very impressed Videl. You can drop it now." Videl smirked "I'm a quick learner." Gohan nodded "Well Videl you can learn how to fly right now if you wanted to." Videl sat in disbelief "Uh Gohan can you fly with me in case I lose my concentration?"

                 Gohan nodded 'If she fell she would only get a scratch' Gohan started to levitate into the air "Ok Videl put the energy under you and lift off the ground. Videl did so and soon was in the air sweating but laughing at her recent break through. "I did it Gohan!" Videl said excitedly as she started to fly through the air.

                 Gohan smiled "Good for you Videl… well doesn't seem like you need my help anymore." Gohan said as he landed Videl a few feet to the side of him. Videl frowned "Can I still come over and train anyways?" Gohan smiled "of course you can Videl" Videl smiled looking down at her watch

                "Oh no my dad's going to kill me I have to get home Gohan see you!" Gohan smiled as Videl took off to her home seeing her backpack he stifled a laugh. 'Better catch up to her with this.' Gohan thought as he chased after Videl he searched for her seeing her on the ground near a store. She was looking pass the glass, a face of want showing with a vengeance. Gohan without landing looked inside seeing what had caught Videls attention. It was a thin necklace with a small ruby in the middle.

                 Gohan examined the sign landing near Videl however staying a fair distance away "5000 Yen" Gohan remembered what little money he had his mind registered with glee "27230" Gohan carefully went to Videls balcony set down her back pack and flew back home seeing Videl walking to her home a look of depression on her face 'Not for long I hope' Gohan thought a little bashful.

                Gohan called Bulma on the phone "State your business!" a self-righteous man on the other line yelled "Hey Vegeta can I get Bulma on the phone?" Vegeta grunted, "This clears the debt between me and you Gohan." Gohan only smiled as Bulma was put on the phone "Hey Gohan what's up?"

                 Gohan knew what she was going to say but asked her anyway "Do you know of any good restaurants near you?" Gohan could nearly see Bulma's evil smile "Of course Gohan there's a very fancy restaurant next door to us when do you want to take Videl there, I mean when do you want to go?" Gohan glared visualizing Bulma in his head as he heard her snicker.

                 "Well I'm going to ask Videl tomorrow to find out if she wants to go or not." Gohan waited "Ill pay for the dinner Gohan if Videl doesn't have a good dress don't worry ill call her up to find out her measurements."

                 Gohan blushed "Thanks Bulma…. Wait a second how did you know I was going to ask Videl?" Gohan blushed as he heard Bulma laugh on the other line "It's not that hard to tell Gohan." Gohan nodded "Thanks again Bulma wish me luck on asking her." Gohan could slightly hear the laugh of Bulma again as he hung up the phone. 'Okay Gohan your taking a risk especially with starting out big instead of small hopefully she will take it as a compliment please Videl accept my invitation.'

                Videl was becoming suspicious of Gohan. "Gohan there's something major on your mind." Gohan looked up sweat running down his back "what makes you say that Videl?" he stuttered as Videl raised an eyebrow "You barely ate as much as me."

                 Gohan looked down at the food and subconsciously gulped "Uh I'm just getting my facts in order about how eighteen got her name." Videl scratched her head "Is it really that complex?" she asked dryly Gohan nodded "Yea it goes all the way up to the creation of cell… "

                 Videl looked down grudgingly cursing her father "I actually confronted that asshole, want to know what he said?" Gohan shrugged "He said that it was all a trick even when I floated into the air and singed his Afro with a ki blast. That man is so dense!"

                 Gohan nodded drudging up an old memory of Goten with his Afro. Gohan blushed as he sort of stumbled with words. "Uh hey Videl do you want to go somewhere Saturday night?" Videl asked innocently "Like where? Like the gravity chamber again?" Gohan shook his head

                "No I was thinking of a restaurant that's near Bulma's place." Videls heart skipped a beat 'Did he just say what I think he said?'  Gohan was blushing madly as Videl sat like a deer in headlights "You mean like a date?" Gohan blushed again hoping for the best.

                Videl smiled broadly "Id love to what time will you pick me up?" Gohan could almost fly around the world twice with the amount of joy he got from those simple words but only answered with a sigh of satisfaction. "Is eight good for you?" Videl nodded "Sure." Then Videl realized with an ache in her heart

                'I don't have a dress' Videl thought she could cry for the lack of that one singly piece of clothing "Oh which reminds me Bulma wants to get together with you Friday afternoon to pick out a dress for the restaurant " Videl's heart immediately returned to its healthy self as she felt like hugging Gohan.

                "Okay where to start…" Videl sat patiently near the lake at Gohan's house technically they were supposed to be training but Gohan had suggested they take a break to give their bodies a rest. Gohan thought for a second sighing "Guess its best to start at the beginning. When my dad was traveling across the earth he met up with a particularly vulgar group called the red ribbon army."

                Videl's eyes widened "I've read about them!" she said happily. Gohan smiled "That's better than most people. Now when my father defeated the army…" "He defeated a whole army?" Gohan nodded "Well once my father defeated them he let go one of the scientist called Doctor Gero now this man instead of taking good on my dads kindness like most people he started to work on androids with superior strength and skill. Now we had been warned of this from a trunks from the future."

                 Videl's mouth dropped "you people really have oddities floating about don't you?" Gohan grinned sheepishly "Well in any case Vegeta turned Super Sayian defeating the first android and Piccolo nearly destroyed the second one when we learned the android was none other than Dr Gero himself. Then future trunks… ill just refer to him as Mirai told us that the two androids were not the ones he had faced and that took us to Dr Gero's lab where he had escaped us and had activated the androids seventeen and eighteen."

                 Videl's eyes widened "Are you saying eighteen is one of the evil androids?" Gohan nodded "Yes well sort of she's not evil. In any case this resulted in a huge turn about where the androids killed Dr Gero activated a android called sixteen…"

                Gohan's ribs clutched to his heart as he remembered sixteen "Well in any case the group decided to go into hiding. Finding the androids too overwhelming in strength and it was only the start of our problems." Videl paled "Uh Gohan by any chance are these androids related to cell?"

                 Gohan smiled "Yes they are or rather were related to him." Videl shook "Well uh soon a new enemy appeared named cell and we learned that if he absorbed two of the three androids he will become unstoppable. So we decided to train in the hyperbolic time chamber. Now Vegeta and Mirai went first exceeding the level of Super Sayian to become ascendant. Krilin was sent to deactivate the androids with a remote however he couldn't bring himself to do it.  I trained in the hyperbolic time chamber with my dad while Cell absorbed both seventeen and eighteen."

                 Videl raised her hand "But I thought eighteen was alive and well." Gohan grinned, "She is but I haven't got to that part yet." Videl put down her hand listening carefully to Gohan "Now after Cell absorbed eighteen he became perfect and we had to listen to him announce the cell games."

                Videl grimaced "I remember." Gohan nodded "Now all of us decided to go except me and my dad because my dad had the heart disease and I wanted to stay by his side." Videl lowered her head in respect "Well any ways some where in the fight with that boy, cell spit up eighteen and after the fight Krilin joined us at a look out high in the sky and I took the liberty of sputtering out that he likes eighteen."

                 Gohan smiled "Yes he was quite mad at me especially when eighteen showed up. She was very quick to display her distaste to Krilin though it didn't stay that way…" Gohan shrugged "That's how eighteen got her name. However it was a very short summary to the things that took place." Gohan got up while Videl started to think, "Did you know the other Gold haired fighters?"

                 Gohan shook his head "They were strangers but I felt like I knew them all my life." Videl raised a questioning glance "I don't want to sound disrespectful Gohan but why do you feel you killed your father?" Gohan froze on the spot "Ill tell you in due time." Videl humphed "He died of a disease there's no way you could have stopped it." Gohan gritted his teeth 'Sure he died that way In Mirai's time' "Sorry Videl but I can't tell you why it is my fault."

                 Videl felt pity "Ok ill leave it at that." Gohan nodded "Damn look at the time!" Videl jumped to her feet "Sorry Gohan I have got to go!" Gohan smiled "I don't want you getting in trouble with your dad." Videl nodded as she flew off to her house as Gohan looked after her.

                "WHERE WERE YOU AGAIN YOUNG LADY?!" Mr. Satan screamed. Videl not even flinching "I was at Gohan's not that its any of your business!" Hercule seethed "I don't like that boy you can't see him anymore." Videl felt like punching him "You haven't even met him! You don't even know him!" Hercule face became beat red "He's a cheater along with all his other friends that is more than ill ever need to know!"

                Videl became enraged "They did not cheat father! They beat Cell and you know it your just too greedy to admit it!" Hercule raised a hand and hit his daughter straight in the face. Videl was not hurt, but the fact that he had hit her made her want to cry. "I will see Gohan… And I don't care if you want me to or not! I'm Leaving!"

                Hercule tried to stop his daughter by grabbing on to her shoulders; it was the last straw to Videl. Videl turned around floating five feet in the air as Hercule held on tight desperate not to fall. Videl glared at him one last time before she sent him cascading into the opposite wall. Hercule looked on in fading anger and disbelief as Videl still hovered in the air arm still extended. "V-V-Videl! How could you where did you?" Videl landed anger still present

                "I learned it from Gohan! You know, the cheater!" Hercule started to feel sorry about what he had done, but no matter how many times he said sorry, nor how many times he pleaded with her to stay she still took off to Gohan's house.

                Gohan felt an energy nearing the house and feeling it was Videl he hastily told his mother and brother who made sure to get ready to act normal. Gohan stepped outside ready to meet the tomboy. What met him was shock as Videl nearly ran him over tears in her eyes as she hugged his chest. "I-I-I'm sorry G-G-Gohan I don't mean to be rude but can I spend the night here?"

                 Gohan's face took on a sympathetic look "Why Videl did anything happen?" Videl nodded feeling warmth as Gohan draped his arms around her shoulders "Me and my dad got in a fight and he hit me." Videl felt the arms on her shoulders tense "Of course you can spend the night here Videl."

                Gohan smiled. Chi-Chi was looking at the sight through the door window having Goten beside her in a firm hold as Goten struggled to see Videl and only when Chi-Chi saw Videl walk near the house did she let Goten go. "Hey Videl!" Goten laughed as he ran into Videl "Hey Goten." Said Videl passively though smiling. "Videl dear come on inside you must be freezing from the flight." Videl nodded 'not really Gohan warmed me up' thought Videl.

                Chi-Chi fixed Videl a small meal that ate it readily not having a big breakfast or lunch and no dinner. Chi-Chi smiled "You should eat more." Videl sighed as she finished the food off, as Chi-Chi looked on in admiration "You ate that as fast as Gohan and Goten eats." Videl blushed remembering how Gohan eats.

                 "Sorry if I looked rude then." Videl apologized as Gohan and Goten looked up "What's that supposed to mean?" the boys said simultaneously as both of the women laughed, "nothing never mind." Said Chi-Chi as Videl yawned.

                 Chi-Chi smiled "Ok same deal as last time except Goten dear you take the couch while Gohan sleeps on the floor in his bedroom." Videl took in deep breaths "Sounds good." Said Gohan as he fetched an extra blanket from the closet. Videl didn't take any extra clothing so she slept in her school clothes as she fell asleep to Gohan's breathing.

                The alarm clock buzzed waking Videl. 'Damn I want a few more minutes…' Videl thought as she put one leg over the bed hopping off feeling something under her.  'There are lumps in the carpet' Videl thought dreary as she looked down freezing in shock at Gohan who only smiled "Forgot I was down here Videl?" Gohan said almost laughing. Videl blushed a bright red as she stepped off of Gohan "Oh Gohan I'm so sorry I'm really sorry" Videl said as Gohan got up

                 "Oh Gohan did I hurt you do you want me to get-" Videl was hushed as Gohan put a hand on her mouth grinning widely "It's ok Videl why don't you just go take a bath." Videl nodded "Umm can you wash my clothes while I take a bath?" Gohan nodded "Sure" Videl walked to the bath house as Gohan sat down to eat breakfast grinning evilly 'three two one…'

                Gohan smile widened as he heard a shriek and started to walk to the bathhouse wiping the smile off his face "Is anything wrong Videl?" Gohan asked Videl as she stood near the door wrapped up in a towel glaring at him as Gohan had to suppress a grin "You didn't tell me you had to warm up the water Gohan."

                Videl's stare intensified "Sorry Videl." Gohan said as he skipped the boiler and just heated it up with ki. "Go ahead and give me your clothes and ill wash them." Videl almost blushed "Is that your job to do laundry?" Gohan shook his head "Its Goten's, mine is to clean the house and Chi-Chi's is to cook."

                 Gohan shrugged "I don't have a hard job except when it comes to Goten." Videl smiled as she handed Gohan her clothes who in turn took them to the lake to wash them. Gohan in less than a minute had washed and dried Videls clothes 'its why the job is easy, Goten and me should switch jobs' Gohan thought smugly. He went back to the bathhouse and set the clothes by the door as he walked back to the house.

                Videl got dressed looking down at the clock, she knew Gohan and her had to leave soon even though they could fly. Videl had given her good byes with the family who showed her more love than her father would on her birthday. Gohan grinned as he started to fly to the school and as they walked in to the classroom they were bombarded with stares.

                 "Uh is anything wrong?" Videl asked looking around the room. One of the braver kids piped up "Videl you ran away from home." Videl nodded "and?" The brave kid soon said, "Your father made a appearance in this class room he looked worried." Videl shook her head "Anything else?"

                The kid looked down and smiled very broadly "Uh he said he was going to make Gohan compete in the tournament so then he could and I quote "Beat that snotty nosed brat till he cries for his mommy" end quote" Videl looked at Gohan who only laughed startling most of the kids

                 "Guess I wont have to wear a mask," he whispered to Videl. "Ok if Mr. Satan wants to." Gohan announced as most kids stood slack jawed except for Sharperner who only smiled. As Gohan sat down Sharperner nudged him saying in a whisper "Don't go to hard on him Gohan or else he wont be able to give you and Videl your blessings."

                 Gohan blushed but only replied "I doubt ill be able to beat him." Sharperner shrugged "Come on Gohan you might win." Gohan laughed 'I meant that somebody else will get to him first.' The rest of the day went without a hitch and as Videl was walking outside a blue haired woman wearing sunglasses standing by a hover car met her. "Come on Videl it takes a while to pick out a dress." Videl blushed, as nearly all the boys looked at her as most found themselves being tripped by a disgruntled Gohan.

                "So Videl are you and Gohan dating now?" Videl blushed "I guess so." Videl answered shyly "have you kissed yet?" Videl blushed furiously "no we were always interrupted whenever we got close."

                 Bulma seethed "So what interrupted you?" 'Ill call Vegeta on them if they are doing it constantly.' Videl just blushed "well once by a bell and once by Goten." Bulma sighed in exasperation "That must be getting annoying." Videl nodded "Well what kind of dress do you want?" Bulma asked, "One Gohan would like."

                 Videl answered Bulma sighed "No personal taste?" Videl looked down "My father made me study martial arts and most boys consider me a tomboy so I didn't bother to ever wear normal girl clothes… they got in my way when I fought." Bulma sighed, "Well make sure you like it also because something Gohan might like doesn't mean you will like in return."

                Videl sighed, "What kind of restaurant are we visiting?" Videl asked glancing out the car window "I'm not absolutely sure all I know is that its high class and it costs extra to get the balcony view." Videl glanced around to Bulma "Your paying for it?" she asked incredulously Bulma grinned, "Gohan didn't get much money because no one in his family works. The only reason they are able to get anything is the money Goku got from the world tournament winning second, second again, and first."

                 Videl frowned only slightly "How much did it cost?" Bulma laughed, "I wouldn't tell you that." Videl put on a sarcastic face "I bet you wouldn't." Bulma only grinned, "Lets check out this store first." Videl nodded as she got out of the car.

                The day to say the least was exhausting to Videl 'Who knew shopping could be so tiring.' In the end only three dresses out of the whole day caught Videl's eye and only one did she buy. Bulma had tried to talk her into getting something a bit flashier but Videl had argued Gohan wouldn't like the stares men gave her. The three dresses that had caught Videl's eye was a red dress that she had decided against because she thought she looked like a slut in it.

                 A blue dress which she had complained didn't let her move at all and a black dress that was similar to the one Chi-Chi had let her wear the night of the dinner party almost one week ago. Videl didn't like high-heeled shoes and had gotten the only ones that didn't make her feet hurt. Videl looked down at her neck "I wish I had some jewelry" Bulma just waved her hand "Girls shouldn't waste money on jewelry." Videl arched her eyebrow

                 "Since when did you think girls shouldn't waste money on anything let alone jewelry?" Bulma waved her finger "I leave that to the guys." Videl looked down "Videl dear do you want some make up?" Videl took a few steps back "I don't wear make up." Bulma grinned evilly "But if you don't then the whole get up wont look exactly right. Videl sighed "Ok but I wont wear a lot of it."

                 Bulma grinned as she scanned the lipstick comparing Videls face to the lipstick "Yes I believe coral would look wonderful on you." Videl only sat grumbling as Bulma continued this process with different types of makeup "I wont wear nail polish." Said Videl grumbling, "Your nails are too good for nail polish. If I put anything on them they just wouldn't look right."

                Videl sighed, "Are you sure Gohan will like all this?" Bulma laughed, "I was able to marry a prince I think I know what I'm doing." Videl growled at Bulma's comment "But Gohan is just the opposite of a prince-" Videl was stopped by Bulma smiling evilly above her "True but just because he isn't a prince doesn't mean he's not a man."

                Videl grumbled again as Bulma piled more things into the basket smiling. "And your total is four thousand yen. Videl gaped but Bulma only smiled "Wow that's pretty cheap I have to remember to come back to you guys." Videl looked at Bulma "That's cheap!" Bulma smiled "a month ago I paid five thousand yen for just me this time I picked out something for you and me." Videl was still skeptical "I am only going to wear these for special occasions they cost too much."

                Bulma smiled "You'll find there's plenty of special occasions when you're with Gohan." Videl bit her lower lip "Uh Bulma can I spend the night at your house?" Bulma grinned "Sure just don't let Trunks get to you." Videl grinned, "Thanks ill call Gohan to pick me up at your house." Bulma smiled 'He would find you no matter where you went.'

                "Videl what will Gohan be picking you up with? You don't expect to fly do you?" Videl leaned into the car seat more "Does Gohan know how to drive?" Bulma shook her head "He never found the need… about half of the z-fighters don't know." Videl grimaced "What's wrong with flying?" Bulma grinned, "Is it as romantic as a drive?" Videl thought "Yes." Bulma glared "Well I wouldn't know I can't fly." Videl gave Bulma a sympathetic nod as she parked by Bulma's house.

                'Seven O'clock its okay I still have one hour.' Videl thought as Bulma added make up to her face. "Finished!" announced Bulma with a smug face "Gohan will love it." Videl blushed looking into the mirror. 'I don't see a huge difference.' Videl thought as she turned her head from right to left. "Uh Bulma is there anything I should try to remember?" Bulma laughed, "Be you." Videl bit her lower lip 'I hope Gohan will like it."

                'Ok lets see necklace? Check, flowers? Check, nice suit? Check' Gohan checked as he looked at the items in his arms. 'Courage? Where did I put that?' He joked as he slid the box holding the necklace into his pocket. He landed at Bulma's house and rang the doorbell.

                 "Oh Gohan Videl will be down in a second." Bulma said with a mischievous smile as Gohan spaced out. "H-Hi Gohan." Videl said as she walked to the door blushing at Gohan's approving expression. "Here Videl." Gohan blushed as he handed Videl the flowers who smiled with sparkling eyes. "Thanks Gohan they are lovely." Videl said as she inhaled the fragrance she handed them to Bulma "Can you put these in a jar?" Bulma smiled as she looked at the display of affection "Of course I will Videl, just run off with Gohan and no funny business you two." Videl and Gohan blushed "Ok Bulma." Said Gohan with a grin "lets go Videl." Gohan laughed as both of them took to the sky.

                "Yes Mr. Son your table is this way." Said the host as he led Videl and Gohan up a short flight of steps and to a balcony that overlooked the city. Gohan pulled a chair out for Videl pushing her to the table as he grabbed his own seat. "Here are your menus. Please enjoy your stay"

                 Gohan grinned and nodded to the man as he looked up at Videl who was having trouble with the menu. "Everything is so expensive." Videl fumed as she tried to pick the cheapest dish. "Yea you can expect that with these places they don't bring out a large amount of food either." Videl smiled at Gohan "Well hopefully you can sate your hunger for at least today." Gohan laughed "I don't know the last time that happened is when I was on that look out post high in the sky." Videl let out a sigh "Your going to show me that place soon right?" Gohan nodded "Of course."

                 Videl shrugged "I don't want to bring this up but I think its best I should my father is speaking at the school Wednesday because it's the anniversary of the cell games, and the tournament starts Saturday." Gohan cringed 'Celebrating the day my dad died? I wouldn't be caught dead doing that.'

                 "Hello I will be your waiter for the evening." Said a snobbish appearing man. "Mrs. Briefs said the whole meal was on her." Gohan cringed "Well I feel sorry for Bulma." Videl bit her lower lip as Gohan said trying to hold back "Ill have an order of all the food from here to here." The waiter was shocked "Sir that might take a while to make are you sure?" Gohan scratched the back of his head "Ok then ill just take a steak but try to make it the biggest one you got." The waiter raised an eyebrow "And madam what will you be ordering?" Videl grinned sheepishly "Just the salmon please." The waiter looked relieved "And to drink?"

                Gohan was curious "Uh water?" Gohan answered scratching the back of his head. "Water also." The waiter jotted down the orders bowed and went to the kitchen "Uh what did he mean by to drink?" Videl laughed, "Well there are more than one thing to drink you know. Gohan shrugged "water is just fine." Videl and Gohan chatted as the waiter gave them their dishes and drinks bowed and went to wait other tables.

                 Gohan nearly finished his meal in three bites as Videl nearly finished hers in five. "These restaurants don't give you a lot of food do they?" Videl said as Gohan drank the water "They really don't but its ok less eating means more talking." Videl smiled "So Gohan how is everyone reacting to the tournament?" Gohan laughed, "Everyone is wanting to fight except for Chi-Chi."

                 Videl grinned, "I'm fighting to if you don't mind." Gohan face went blank "Uh Ok if you really want to… You are strong enough… I think." Videl laughed "I don't plan on Dying Gohan chill out." The fact Videl said the word dying sent shivers down his spine 'Nobody does' he thought solemnly.

                 The rest of the time was spent talking and laughing they didn't know that it was almost midnight until the waiter came and told them so. They left happily flying through the night as they landed near a beach walking along the sand. "Hey Gohan what happened to the moon?" Gohan laughed, "You mean the thing that used to float above us?" Videl nodded "Yea I remember it when I was a little girl but one day I went out at night to find it wasn't there." Gohan nodded 'to tell or not to tell… If I tell her she might get worried that Piccolo could do that so ill just tell her a lie."

                 "Well I'm not entirely sure I think it was hit by a meteor." Videl sighed, "If only the moon was there." Gohan smiled as he put an arm around Videl startling her from her daydreams but she leaned onto Gohan's chest as they walked further along the beach. Gohan sensed the sun starting to rise as he sat down with Videl. The sun rose slowly from the east as Gohan smiled at Videl who was looking at such a beautiful sight. "That's so beautiful."

                 Gohan grinned pulling out a necklace "Here Videl." He said sheepishly. "Videl opened the box pulling out the piece of jewelry she was adoring before "Gohan thank you but where did you get the money?" Gohan smiled "I got money from the Z team from lost bets." Videl smiled "Will you put it on Gohan?" Gohan smiled putting on the piece of jewelry turning her around to look at it. However his intention to look at the jewelry failed as he gazed into Videls eyes. Slowly ever so slowly he leaned forward as Videl closed her eyes putting her arms around Gohan's neck as they kissed.
