When silence is too irritating, when I'm quiet but have too much on my mind… I close my eyes and let the tears fall. Why didn't I realize it earlier?

It was just an ordinary Sunday in the Satan City. Gohan and Videl had been going out for three months now and everything was going well. They have never fought, they only respected each other greatly, but is this going to last forever? Today was just like every other day. They trained together in the morning, shopping in the afternoon and they planned to watch a movie after lunch. It was twelve-thirty in the afternoon, and Gohan's stomach was already grumbling like thunder, so they decided they should have lunch. They chose to sit at an outdoor café. They sat themselves down at the little coffee table. While Videl was looking at the menu, Gohan decided that he had to go to the bathroom.

"Gohan, what would like to eat? Let's order first so we don't have to wait as long?" Videl asked.

"Hm…you decide for me okay? I really need to go." With that Gohan ran to the bathroom. Videl shrugged and waved to the waiter.

"May I take your order please, Miss?" the waiter said.

"Yep, I would like to have set lunch A and B with extra please."

"Is that all?" the waiter asked.

"Yes, thank you." Videl replied with a kind smile.

After a while, Gohan finally came back. He sat down on the chair, and asked what Videl had ordered for him.

"I just ordered the set lunch B for you with an extra which includes, steak, pork, chicken, rice, noodles, and mushroom soup." Videl said.

Gohan was very happy with the food until he heard the name 'mushroom soup', he frowned. Videl noticed it and asked him what was wrong.

"Hm…it's just that…I don't eat mushroom." Gohan said almost in a whisper. And he started telling her the tale about when he was small and when Piccolo trained him. He had to find his own food and he eats this poisonous mushroom which had gotten him very sick. After that he never ate mushrooms anymore.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'll cancel the order." Videl was about to call the waiter.

"No it's okay, I think they are done making it already." Gohan said, and pointed to the door that led to the kitchen. There a waitress was walking and holding their food.

The food was now all placed on their table, but there was a strange silence between Gohan and Videl. They were both staring into the mushroom soup. Videl could see that Gohan was sweating, she broke the silence.

"You don't have to eat it if you don't want to." Videl said.

"It's okay, I'll eat it…since it would be a waste if I don't." Gohan said.

"Don't force yourself to eat it if you don't like it." Videl frowned this time. Didn't he hear what I said? Why is he forcing himself to eat something that he doesn't like? Just like the time when we were watching the concert, he didn't say anything about it when I asked him to watch it with me. But I knew that he is getting bored with the songs and all that. Is he getting bored with me?

"I said it's okay." Gohan insisted. Why can't she realize that everything I did for her? Just like the time when we go to the concert, she just told me to leave with her…but I thought that she likes the band.
"No, it's not okay, Gohan. You force yourself too much to like something that you hate." Videl said in an argument tone.
"Look Videl, I don't want to start an argument with you." Gohan said.
"Well I am! I don't like you keeping secrets from me, if you don't like it just say it. Shouldn't you be honest with your girlfriend? If you feel that I'm distanced to you… then… maybe …we shouldn't." Videl was too afraid to say the rest of the sentence. She didn't mean to go this far.
"Fine!" Gohan shouted, and left flying away from the café.
Videl was just standing there looking at Gohan's back image getting further and further away from her. The tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She was so shocked that Gohan actually shouted at her. He is never angry with anyone, even towards his mom when she told him not to train and study. I'm suppose to be his girlfriend and now…arrgh!! Stupid Son Gohan.
Gohan was now flying in the air; he didn't know where he was going. He was too frustrated with what happened between him and Videl. He loved Videl of course, with all his heart. He just didn't know what went wrong. He tried his best to satisfy her. Besides, she admitted that she wanted to have an argument with me. I just don't get what she is thinking. Then he recognized that little yellow spot on the ground that was his house.
Oh I am home already? That means I'm thought miles away from Videl now. What was I thinking? I shouldn't have left her there alone. She is a girl, what if bad things happen to her? With that Gohan started fly back to the location where he left Videl. But he couldn't find Videl anywhere, so he panicked. Where could she be?
At this moment, Videl was walking through the park by herself. Where could Gohan be? It has only been fifteen minute since his departure, and I already missed him. I am getting so weak and too emotional towards Gohan, and I feel bad for arguing with him today too. Just a minute ago, she felt that the world had came to an end. When Gohan was leaving, it was even scarier than the time Buu had been released. But of course the world is still turning, people kept on walking by, who would have noticed the fight she had with Gohan? She sighed and sat down on a bench, staring up the sky searching for a trace of Gohan.
Just then, she felt Gohan's ki getting closer and closer to her. She looked around her surroundings. Then, just behind the water fountain, she saw that familiar black spiky hair and black eyes. She stood up, running towards him. He did the same. They hugged as if it was a miracle for them to see each other again.
"Videl…" Gohan started.
"You are late Gohan." Videl interrupted then continued. "The movie started already." She smiled. She was suppose to be angry, but seeing his face again washed all the anger away.
"I'm sorry." Gohan said, he noticed her eyes were red.
"You better be." Videl slightly punched him in the stomach, she looked up to see his expression. She was a bit surprised that he looked dead serious. She giggled. Gohan couldn't understand what she was giggling about. He was serious about the apology. It is almost heart breaking to see your love ones cry, especially when you were the one who had hurt them.
Another Sunday morning, the couple went out again. At the same café, the same scenario happened, but this time they argued about the spinach that was in the soup. Gohan stood up and walked away. Videl once again stared at his back image. Just as Gohan was about to vanish around the street corner, he stopped. Only one minute this time, and he already missed Videl. He turned around and started running back to Videl. She was laughing, and they started hugging.
"I love you."
