CHAPTER TEN - Videl's first date

After the whole Buu ordeal, Videl and the others decided to return to their normal lives, but that would be somewhat boring. Videl, being a teenager and all, decided that she wanted to do something that she'd never done in her life: go out on a date. Gohan, the person that she picked, was a bit uneager to go, at least at first.

"Are you nuts?!" He shrieked. "I've never been on a date before!"

She smiled sweetly at him. "Don't you know that there's a first time for everything? Why not? It'll be fun!"

He wanted to continue arguing, but realized that it was pointless, and just gave in. He and her decided to go out on a date, but didn't have the foggiest idea as to where the hell they were going to be going. Videl asked Akkuvedi, which probably wasn't a good idea, because her suggestion was "anywhere with food." So, they asked the one person they knew could provide an excellent answer: Bulma.

"So," Bulma said. "You came to me for a suggestion as to where you should go on a date? Well, I'd suggest this one fancy French restaurant named Chez Derriere."

Videl waved, dashing out the door with Gohan. "Thanks!"

The two went on their date, and somehow, both ended up liking each other. It was an experience that neither had before, but both wanted to try again. The whole time they were at the restaurant, neither of them took the food seriously, just kept being amazed by the other person's life story, opinions, and just loved being in the same air space as the other. You could say that love was already blooming, but that would actually be misstating it. They simply wanted to give love a chance; but later on.

"So," asked a somewhat intrigued Gohan. "You've been traveling the universe with Akkuvedi?"

Videl nodded, speaking in between sips of soda. "Yeah, that's about it. I created her with my magic, and we decided that we were not to stay on one planet for too long. It wouldn't be a good idea to do that. So, after one week on a planet, we book. Occasionally in the night, under the cover of darkness."

Gohan laughed slightly at that. "So," he replied. "You like to be sneaky?"

"Yeah," she said, laughingly. "We're quite the sneaky types."

"Tell me something," he asked. "What do you think of Earth now that you're here?"

She sniggered a bit. "Nice planet, just a bit small."

Their conversation drug on for about three hours, and once they were done talking, they decided to go back home. Gohan's house was in the Eastern District; Videl and Akkuvedi would have to return to the ship. Not bad accommodations, just not quite as cozy as a full-blown house.
