Chapter 2 -
I'm With You
Videl sat in her room, wondering what she should wear. It was only 7:30...... she had four hours. But... she was so nervous! What would she do? What if it were someone she knew really well? What if it weren't? More importantly.. WHAT IF IT WERE SHARPNER?! Nah.... he had already asked Erasa to the dance. He wouldn't dump her like tat because they were good friends. But... still.... What if it were Gohan? Oh... Videl could only dream. He wouldn't say something so deep to her... Although, Gohan seemed like a deep person.. Hell, she wasn't good enough for him... she never would be. I mean.. look at all those pretty bitchy girly-girls he could have.. what made her stick out? Nothing. Nothing at all. Why would Gohan choose her? Wait a minute, why in the hell was she thinking these things about Gohan?! Inside.. she knew why. She just wasn't ready to admit it yet.
Meanwhile, Gohan paced around his room. What should he wear? Should he put the flowers in a vase or keep them in the plastic thingy? What about the chocolates? What if they melted?! "Calm down, Gohan.", he said to himself. It will all go just fine...maybe. What if it didn't go fine? What she just turned him down, and laughed in his face like he was an idiot? Nah...she wouldn't do that. Videl wasn't like that. Right?
Later, at 9:45 p.m.
Videl was pacing around her room. She still wondered what she should wear. Should she dress up? Should she just dress in her normal clothes? She could call Erasa.. hell no. Erasa would probably get excited, rush over, and make her look like a whore or something. Maybe she could ask... Chi Chi? Well, ok. She picked up her phone, pushed the number for her personal line, and dialed the number to the Son house.
"Son house. Goten speaking, how may I be of your service?" Videl was willing to put money on the fact that Chi Chi probably made him say that every time he answered the phone. Yet, he was still trying to sound cool, by trying to make his voice sound deep.
"Hi Goten!"
Goten dropped all accents and got excited. "Hi Videl! Do you wanna talk to my nissan?"
"No, actually, I wanted to talk to your mom."
"Oh, well, that's good anyway. Nissan's in the shower getting ready to go somewhere. Trunks says he has a hot date. I asked Mom what that was... and she said something about the spawn of satan filling my head with bad ideas, and then she hit me on the head with the frying pan! It wasn't fair! I was only asking something!"
Videl snorted, then blushed at the thought of Gohan in the shower... but quickly stopped when she thought about Gohan and a hot date... with someone other than her. Wait.... what?!
"Oh, really? Well, can I talk to your mom?"
"Sure Videl! Hold on just a second!" She heard Goten walk off, and then in a few seconds, heard Chi Chi's voice on the line.
"Hi Videl! How can I help you?"
"Well, I was kind of wanting to ask your advice on something."
"Sure! I'll help you in any way I can!"
" Well... I was asked out today, and-" was all Videl could get out before Chi Chi got excited.
"Really?! By who?! It better have been my Gohan!"
"Well, I don't exactly know who it was-". Chi Chi cut her off again.
"How can you not know who it was?! They asked you out, didn't they?!"
"Not exactly. The person wrote me a letter, and signed it anonymous. But I'm supposed to meet them tonight, and I was curious about what I should wear, and I thought I would ask you."
"Ahh! I see! How romantic! Well, I'm not very up-to-date with the latest fashions and things, but you can all Bulma! She'll know exactly what to wear! Is that alright?"
"Yeah! Sure. Thanks, Chi Chi. I'll call her right away."
"Oh, no problem. You have fun then."
"Ok, thanks again, Chi Chi. Bye!"
"You're welcome. Bye!" Videl hung up the phone, then sighed. She picked it back up, and dialed the private number to Cpasule Corp. Of all people, Vegeta answered.
"Who the hell is this, and what in the hell do you want?!", he growled.
"That's nice Vegeta. Do you always answer the phone like that?"
"No, butI thought it might be you for some reason. So, being the thoughtful person I am, I thought I'd show you how much I despise you."
"Well, Veggie, I love you too. I figured you'd say something like that. May I please talk to Bulma now?"
"Fine, fine. Hold on one minute, dammit. WOMAN!!!" Videl heard Bulma yell in the backround.
"What is it, Veggie?"
"Phonecall from Kakarott's brat's mate!" Videl did a double take. Mate? What in the hell? Did she hear that correctly?
"Ok, Veggie. Just a second." Videl waited for a second, and finally heard Bulma's voice on the line. "Hi Videl! What can I do for ya?"
"Well...", Videl felt kind of silly. "I was asked out today, and I was kind of wondering if you could give me advice on what to wear."
"Ahh... Well, let me say this. This person that asked you out obviously liked you when you wore what you did everyday, so they'll still like you if you dress normally. I suggest you do that. Just wear what feels comfortable and normal."
"You know, that's really good advice. I wish I could have come up with that... thank you so much. You really helped me out."
"You're welcome, Videl. Anything for a Son's future mate. Just make sure to tell me how it goes, ok?"
"I'm going to ignore the fact that you just said a Son's future mate, and be polite. Thank you again, Bye!" Bulma giggled.
"Bye."
Videl hung up the phone, and went to her closet. She chose a pair of black baggy pants, her flame sneakers, and a black tank top, and dressed quickly. She glanced at her clock. It was 10:50. She had forty minutes.
Gohan paced around his room. He went to his closet, opened it up, and looked inside. He decided to wear his baggy blue-jeans, (can you tell I like bagginess? ^_^) and a long-sleeved blue shirt. He put them on, and looked over at his clock. It was 10:50. If he were going to be there on time, he needed to leave now. He picked up the flowers and box of chocolates, capsulized them, and walked to his window. He remembered about the necklace he had purchased for her, and turned to his dresser to pick it up. It was gone.
Gohan ran down the stairs screaming.
"MOM!"
"Gohan! Stop yelling at your mother this instant! Do'nt make me get the frying pan! You've been such a good boy lately!" This didn't seem to phaze Gohan.
"Mom! Have you seen a long black box with a necklace in it?!" Goten jumped out from behind a corner.
"You mean this box, nissan?", he asked inncoently while holding the box in the air.
"Yes!", Gohan screetched as he grabbed for the box, and rushed back upstairts with it. He grabbed the capsule with the flowers and chocolates in it, and flew out the window quickly. He glanced at his watch, and much to his dismay, it was already 11:05. He needed to hurry. He lowered his head and sped on.
Videl walked out of her house and began walking toward the bridge. She arrived, and walked to about the middle of it. No one was there. Her face dropped, and she looked at her watch. It read 11:20. Whoever was coming had ten minutes. she leaned back on the railing of the bridge, and sighed. She might be here for a while.
I'm standing on the bridge. I'm waiting in the dark.
Gohan sped over Satan City Bank, and noticed a robbery going on. He sighed. He couldn't let anyone get away with anything like that. He lowered silently to the ground, and walked up to what looked like the leader of the gang. He was by far the biggest of them all. Gohan tapped him on the sholder. The man turned around, enraged.
"What in the hell do-", was all he got out before Gohan punched him right square in the face, efictively knocking him into a nearby wall. All of the other men turned to look, and Gohan was automaticly tired of the situation.
"Look, you can let me tue you up, and confess to the cops when they get here in the morning, or we can do this the hard way and you can end up worse than him.", Gohan said, gesturing to the unconcious man against the wall. All of the thieves got in line, ready to be tied up. One by one, Gohan tied them up, until the last one was on the ground in ropes. He smiled, waved, and jumped in the air to speed off again, to try to make it to the bridge in time. It was 11:37. He was late. Man, was he ever screwed. It began to rain as he sighed again.
I thought that you'd be here by now. There's nothing but the rain. No footsteps on the ground. I'm listening but there's no sound.
Videl tapped her foot impatiently. He was late. It was raining. She wasn't going to stand out here much longer. She listened for footsteps, but heard none. She began to worry. What if it was all a cruel joke? What if no one was coming?
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home?
As he continued flying, Gohan noticed a young woman lying on the groung screaming. A man was standing over her, and it looked like he had a knife. He zoomed down, wondering if he would ever get to the bridge.
Meanwhile, Videl shivered. It was getting very cold out. It was already 11:45.
It's a damn cold night. Trying to figure out this life. Won't you take me by the hand, Take me somewhere new. I don't know who you are, But I, I'm With You
Gohan touched the ground just as the man was about to hit the woman. The man heard him land, turned around sharply, saw him, and took off running. Gohan quickly told the woman to stay where she was, and that he would be back in just a second. The woman nodded her head. Gohan jumped up and ran towards the man with a speed that he couldn't even dream of surpassing or even matching. He quickly grabbed the man by his collar, and flew to the police station. He walked in, and the chief looked up at him from his desk.
"Ahh, evening Gohan! What have we this time? Another shoplifter?"
"No, I'm afraid this one is a rapist. Sorry to be rude, but can you just take him quickly? I really have to get going... I'm supposed to be meeting someone."
"Sure thing. Thanks for bringing him in." The chief said while cuffing the man tightly.
"You're welcome, Sir! Bye!" Gohan waved, and rushed out the door just to take to the sky again. He flew over to where the woman was, and landed quickly. "Mam, would you like me to take you to the hospital?"
The woman nodded, and Gohan picked her up, and flew to the hospital. He brought her into emergency, made sure she was taken care of, and ran out of the hospital doors. He took to the sky, just to notice that he was as far from the bridge as he could possibly be and still be in the city. He sighed, and looked at his watch. It was 12:10. "Dammit! Of all things, why in the hell do they have to happen now?!", he thought to himself.
I'm looking for a place, searching for a face. Is anybody here I know? 'Cuz nothing's going right Everything's a mess And no one likes to be alone
Gohan flew as fast as he could, not even expecting anyone to be there when he arrived.
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home? It's a damn cold night Trying to figure out this life Won't you, take me by the hand Take me somewhere new I don't know who you are But I, I'm With You I'm With You
A single tear slid down Videl's cheek. It looked like whoever wasn't coming. She couldn't believe it, and at the same time, it seemed to make sense. Who would be so crude, yet why wouldn't they be? Well.... she knew one thing. She was leaving. Now.
Why is everything so confusing? Maybe I'm just out of my mind Yeah yeah..
Gohan saw the bank, so that meant he was nearing the bridge. Only a little more to go. He looked at his watch again. It was 12:20.
Videl couldn't stop herself from crying. She walked to the end of the bridge, and took on regretteable look back, only to see nothing. No one. Definatly not what she wanted to see, but it looked like it didn't make any difference what she wanted now. She stepped off of the bridge, and waled towards the curb. She stepped up on the sidewalk, and began to make her way home. She shivered as she did so. But, she turned around, and began to walk back towards the bridge. Maybe she could end it all now. Right now. She stepped back up onto the bridge, and climbed onto the ledge. She looked down. It could all definatly be over. Right now.
It's a damn cold night Trying to figure out this life Won't you take me by the hand Take me somewhere new I don't know who you are, But I, I'm With You
Gohan could finally see the bridge. He sped up to it.... and almost had a heart-attack at what he saw. Videl was on the ledge of the bridge. She looked like she was ready to jump or something. Then, suddenly, his worst dreams came true. Videl took a flying leap off the bridge just as he screamed her name an flew faster to try to catch her before she hit the water.
I'm With You
AN: Oh yes! Hell yes! I finished another chappie! It's done! *jumps up and down* Oh yeah! Ok, yes, I'm phsyco, but just leave a review. BAI!
