We Meet Again

Chapter Seven: A Night of Many Surprises


"Videl I am so sorry," said Gohan with a look of hurt. Videl said nothing, but look down and turned away. She was about to walk away when she felt a pair of strong arms on her shoulders.

"Videl it's okay," Gohan said thoughtfully. Videl just looked into Gohan's coal black eyes and cried in his chest. Gohan just wrapped his arms around Videl and started to rub her back while saying, "Shhhh its ok Videl let it all out."

 "I am s-so s-s-sorry Gohan," Videl said with tears running down her cheeks.

"Videl really, you don't have to be sorry," Gohan said while soothing her.

Gohan lead Videl further down the path by the lake where they saw some swans "B-but Gohan…. here I am mourning over this even you also lost someone close to you," Videl said calming down. He stiffened for a moment, "Y-yeah," Gohan said trying to stay strong. Just the thought of his father brought him down to the ground.

Videl looked into Gohan's eyes once again to see hurt, ~Oh shoot…his father~ Videl just started to hum a song her mother sang to her when she was little. "Dancing bears, painted wings," is what she remembered. Gohan also started to hum the tune.

Videl look at him in shock and he just smiled. Their eyes locked at that moment…. the moon reflecting off their faces. Gohan looked at Videl's Cerulean eyes and she too looked into Gohan's deep eyes. It was like they were reading each other's thoughts. Suddenly there faces got closer. Only inches away, but then…

"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" Videl's watch rang.

~awwww shit why couldn't this wait~ Videl thought. She pressed her watch and spoke, "Yeah hi chief." "Videl! We need your help! There is a little girl held hostage in an abandoned warehouse on Yumei street. "I'm on my way!" Videl said. "Damn it…sorry Gohan this will take not too long," she said. "It's ok Videl I'll go with you," Gohan said as he smiled. "Umm sure ok!" Videl said as they hopped in Gohan's car.

When they got to the abandoned warehouse on Yumei Videl got out of Gohan's car and snuck into the warehouse. Gohan was about to change into the gold fighter (In this story Gohan just wears a pure black Gi while turning super) when gunshots were heard……

Gohan felt Videl's Ki dropping a little by the second. "VIDEL!" he yelled and ran into the warehouse. When he got into the building he saw something that was killing him. What he saw was a man holding her neck with a knife put to it.

A trickle of blood was running down her neck when she squirmed around trying to get free. She looked over at Gohan, "G-Gohan…g-go now!" Videl chocked out. Gohan didn't listen at all he was just to mad he couldn't control his anger. "Shut up you stupid bitch! Neither you or the kid is going now wear," the mysterious man yelled.

All of a sudden a blinding glowing golden light appeared around Gohan. There stood a furious glowing figure that was non- other then Gohan. The man looked at Gohan, which caught him off guard so Videl kneed him in the groin and punched him right between his eyes. The guy let go of Videl, but grabbed his gun and shot Videl.

Videl screamed in pain as the bullet hit her thigh and leg. In a blink of an eye Gohan knocked out the guy and rushed to Videl's side.

"G-Gohan? Is that you?" Videl whispered. "Yes Videl its me…we need to get you to the hospital," he said as he picked up Videl. "N-No! The news will be all over that and it would be this huge mess!" she said. He looked at her and then got out of super and said, "Fine then we will go to my house. Your stuff is in your pocket so were all set."

"Gohan quickly flew to his house and Videl just lay in Gohan's arms. She soon fell into a peaceful slumber by hearing a rhythm of heartbeats. When they got to 439-mountain area Videl awoke by a landing. As Gohan walked inside he sensed Goten rushing towards him and Gohan stepped out of the way.
In a matter of seconds Goten came rushing expecting to hit Gohan bit hit the door which was now broken.

"SON GOHAN!" Chi yelled, but stopped as he saw a girl in his arms. "Mom Videl is hurt and needs help!" Gohan said. "Ok Gohan go to the couch and I'll get the first aid kit. Gohan rushed Videl to the couch and Chi followed with her first aid. "Gohan? Don't you have any senzu beans?" Chi asked. Gohan sighed, " Well we did mum, but two certain demi-saiyans decided to cook them because they were hungry."

"Oh…Goten! We will talk later, but Videl dear how about we heal you?" Chi half screamed. When Chi opened up her First aid kit it was. Empty?
All eyes directed on Goten.

"SON GOTEN! WHAT DID YOU DO?" Chi screamed. Goten just clutched his ears and said, "welltherewasabunnysomeandTrunkswantedtohelphim, andwecalledhimmr.bunny." (Well there was a bunny so Trunks and me wanted to help him, and we called him Mr. Bunny.) "Never mind were wasting time I'll just go to Korins!" Gohan said as he rushed outside and flew to Korin's.

"Goten, get some towels and well talk about your punishment later." Chi said. "Oh man," Goten said as he walked off to get some towels.

@Korins Tower@

Yajirobe looked at the edge of the tower to see a glowing figure coming closer to him. ~Damn it, I shouldn't bet against Korin when it comes to people coming~ "Hey Yajirobe!" Gohan said. "Uh hey Gohan man you grew a lot kid," Yajirobe said. "Heh nice seeing you too, listen…." Gohan said but was interrupted by a white cat with a cane. "Yajirobe is Gohan here yet?" Korin said. "Keep your pants on Korin geez," Yajirobe mumbled. "Ah ha cats don't wear pants!" Korin said. "Ah yes Gohan here is a bag of senzu beans.

Gohan just looked confused. "How did you know I needed…."Gohan said but once again Korin spoke. "Just a lucky guess well bye my boy."
"Um thanks Korin," Gohan said still slightly confused and took off.

"Hehehe oh Yajirobe I think you owe me 5 dollars for our little bet," Korin smiled. "Yeah, yeah," Yajirobe mumbled.

@Mt. Pazou@

As Gohan was flying towards his humble house he noticed something different. He just couldn't help that he had forgotten something. ~Hmmmm… did I forget…no…or maybe…no that isn't it…~ but before Gohan could finish his thoughts he remembered what was going on tonight.
His face was pale all over. Tonight was when the Briefs were coming over for dinner.

Gohan landed on the lawn of his house and went in side and decided to worry about the Briefs later. When he got inside he heard Videl and Goten giggling…. "And then Trunks and I dyed Mr. Vegeta's hair orange so it looked like it was on fire!" Goten said while giggling. Gohan also chuckled at the story because he was there.

Both Videl and Goten turned to see Gohan. Videl's leg was all bandaged up and stopped bleeding. "Um hey guys I got the stuff," Gohan said as he handed Videl a senzu bean. "Here Videl eat this," he said.

Videl popped the bean in her mouth and her injuries were gone. "G-Gohan? What w-was that?" she stuttered. "Its something that can heal you when your hurt," Gohan said. Videl suddenly was very upset and Gohan didn't know why. "Gohan? I heard you were having company." Videl said. "Um hehe yeah about that…."

"WHY didn't YOU tell ME you know the BREIFS?" Videl emphasized.
"Uh…er well you see…. it slipped?" he said. Videl was going to yell some more, but then Chi walked in. "So Videl dear, how are you?" Chichi said. "Oh I am fine how about you?" Videl said happily.

Gohan sighed, ~ Why do women have to get irritable, but when another women comes along they think nothing happened. ~ The Gohan remembered earlier about the incident at the park and that stupid question. ~Oh shit what if mom asks Videl about her…. uh-oh~ Gohan thought as he quickly interrupted the two girls conversation.

"Mom I need to talk to you right now!" Gohan said. "Gohan I need to ask Videl about her…" Chi couldn't finish because she was dragged into the kitchen. "GOHAN! I was talking TO Videl!" Chichi nearly screamed.

"Mom before you ask Videl about anything I need to tell you something…. Videl's mother died." Gohan said sadly.

 "W-what? But she can't. Oh Videl must be so sad." Chi said with concern in her motherly eyes.
The two walked back in the living room to see Videl looking at some pictures.

"Gohan why don't you get cleaned up and show Videl to her room." Chi said sternly. Then Videl and Gohan walked upstairs to the guest room. The guest room was right next to Gohan's just like Goten's room.

"Umm ok Videl here you go," Gohan said as he walked away but was stopped. "Wait! Gohan…. thanks for everything." Videl said while smiling. "Anytime Videl," said Gohan while grinning.

@Gohan's room@'

Gohan lay down on his bed and thought about the almost kiss. ~Videl I love you…just wish I wasn't a damn chicken. ~


@Videl's room@

Videl opened her capsules and put her belongings away. She picked out her blue faded jean capries and a roxy shirt along with a Billabong sweatshirt.
Then she too thought about the night in the park. ~I wish that damn watch of mine could have waited for a minute or at least a second. That would have meant a LOT to me Gohan…~


@Capsule Corp.@
"TRUNKS, VEGETA hurry up or were going to be late!" Bulma yelled at her two boys. Just then Trunks came down in his usual gi along with Vegeta in hi usual spandex suit. ~Saiyans, just typical they always do this to me…ahhh!! ~ They all walked out side and Bulma was about to get in the car when suddenly Vegeta grabbed her by the waist.

"Vegeta! We were going to take the car!" Bulma said hanging onto Vegeta. "The keyword is 'were' woman, plus flying is much faster and no way in hell am I going to take you stupid air car." Vegeta said while smirking.
"Oh then maybe I should giveaway you motorcycle," Bulma said while smirking. Vegeta's face faulted. "Woman you will not touch my motorcycle no human could ride it!"

Vegeta and Bulma kept blabbering and Trunks just kept flying. ~Ugh parents…. they can be so weird and even stupid~


@Son Residence@

The two teens walked out of their rooms along with little Goten. They walked down the stairs, only to find Chichi cooking up a storm. "Wow Gohan! How much can you guys eat?" Videl said watching Chi. Before Gohan could say anything our little chibi had to get in his words. "Videl-san, me and nichan can eat a lot!" Goten stated. Gohan's fell down anime style.

"Ok chibi-chan that's enough information." Gohan said sheepishly. "But nichan! Mama always said to answer all questions!" Goten whined. All of a sudden a door knock was heard.

"I'll get it!" Goten said running to the door. "Hi Trunks, Bulma-san, Mr. Vegeta!" Goten said enthusiastically. "Hi there kiddo," Bulma said to Goten. Trunks and Goten went off to do Kami knows what. Gohan came up to Vegeta and Bulma and Videl just followed.

"Hi B-Chan. Hey Vegeta," Gohan said while smiling. Bulma did the same, but then noticed Videl standing there. "Um Gohan. Who is this? The girl friend Krillin has been talking about?" Bulma said while taking Vegeta's smirk.

Vegeta just scowled at this then also smirked. He just wanted to get his fun too and decided to say his own words.

"Woman, obviously this is the brats mate," Vegeta said while stating the evident. Gohan turned deep red and Videl just stood there shocked. She got enough courage to speak.

"Um, no Mr. And Mrs. Briefs, I am Videl." She said politely. "Yeah guys, Videl is one of my best friends," Gohan said. "Hm, Videl…. isn't that name familiar?" Bulma said while thinking.

"Vegeta just sighed. "Woman, this is that buffoons offspring." "Ah, yes you are Videl Satan, I see," Bulma looked at Gohan and continued, " Well nice to meet you Videl, and please just call me Bulma."

"And you Satan brat can call me 'Emperor Vegeta'," Vegeta said full of pride. "Excuse me! 1) My name isn't 'brat,' 2) I will under no circumstances call you Emperor!" Videl sneered.

"Well Satan BRAT, you will get of with a warning…. this time," Vegeta said while emphasizing 'brat'

 "Grrrr…listen! Don't call me brat and…HEY!" Videl tried to say, but Vegeta just walked away, ignoring her as if she wasn't even there.

"Oh don't mind him hun, he is always cranky," Bulma said. Just then Chichi walked in the kitchen announcing dinner was ready. All the saiyans eyes lit up, and all of a sudden the two chibis ran in with super speed.

All of them sat at the table and began to cow down. Everyone was thinking during the meal.
~Damn! How much can these people eat! ~ Videl thought.
~Gosh! Videl probably thinks I am an alien…. wait I am an alien! ~ Gohan thought.

~Mmmmmm food, yyyyuuuummmmmmmmy! ~ Goten thought.

~Hm I wonder if Gohan found those pictures of…. hey!  Where is my chicken? ~ Trunks thought.

~Hehe, the brat has a mate and doesn't know it… how funny~ Vegeta thought.
~You can say that again! ~ Bulma thought while smirking at Vegeta.

Then both Gohan and Videl's eyes locked. Once again, they blocked everyone out. ~GRANDCHILDREN! ~ Chichi thought.

Vegeta was done along with the other saiyans. He got up quickly and grabbed Gohan getting him out of his trance.

"Come on brat…. time for a spar!" Vegeta said dragging Gohan outside.
