"Find your soul-mate Gohan…"

"Where? Where?"

"I am ONLY your memory Gohan…I cannot give you no more"

Gohan awoke panting… that dream plagued him for nights after videl left.

Was SHE his soul-``       111mate?

Gohan looked out the window.

Maybe…but aren't soul-mates to understand you…

If Videl wasn't moody that day with the notebook he'd agree but she was so confusing…as the saying goes yeah, woman aren't meant to be understood.

Case closed.

That morning=

"So daddy can I ask you a question?" Pan chimed.

Gohan blushed STILL not use to that name.

"Err…sure sweetie"

"…hum...'k" she nodded, "What's mating?"

Gohan spat out his rice in Goten's face.

"Gosh brother…" Goten titled his head, "You did that last time mom ask you if you where gonna marry Videl! Kinking"

Pan rolled her eyes, "You guys are SOOO hopeless! Demono inherited THAT trait from daddy and then it links back!"

"Hey" the three saiyans pouted, "I regret that"

Pan sighed, her father, uncle AND brother were hopeless cases along with her grandfather…who sadly died in BOTH timelines.

She hoped Bulma and her father won't be able to fix the time machine she liked it her…especially where her family and friends where still…

"Panny? You ok?" Gohan asked seeing the tear escape her eyes.

"She's …I mean" Demono tried to explain but Pan stopped him waving her hand.

"Its FINE guys…I just have a little cold" Pan then trotted off.

"Hey guys" M. Trunks poked his head into the kitchen.

"Hey there! Long time no see" Gohan said.

"You call a two hours long?" Goten asked.

Everyone laughed at his sweetness.

"*Ok…I'm officially freaked out!* Goten for sale! Goten for sale! Neat price for 300 zeni!" Goten said.

"Isn't illegal to sale yourself?" Trunks and Gohan asked.

"Nuah, not in THIS timeline and place" Demono shrugged and walked out.

OSH Courtyard=

Gohan sighed.

It's been an entire week without Videl and he decided he was going through with-draw like coming off a drug and into depression.

"Hey party pooper" Mai shook Gohan by the arm when he didn't respond she smiled, "Oh Gohan dinner's ready"

Still nothing.

Angela smirked along with Sharpener who nodded.

"Oh my gosh" Angela said with drama.

"What Angela?" Sharpener asked dramatically.

"Like there's Videl" she gasped.

Gohan jumped up nearly knocking them over.

"Where? Where?" Gohan said with hyper-active moments that would have Goten and Trunks wishing for more sugary.

Groaning and sitting up Mai said, "Nothing Gohan…ouch…anyways you where really zoned out and bummed too so we"

"Trick you" Sharpie beamed. (Sharpie equals Sharpener I luv nicknames)

"WHY YOU LITTLE--" Gohan looked angry…really angry.

"Err…I'm-I'm just gonna sit down over…over on Pluto…err C 'YA" And sharpener was gone.

"Chill out cuz! I mean you can't mope all week!" Mai said shifting one leg with the other nervously.

"Yeah dude! Go out and live a little" Erasa encouraged.

"Right!" Angela nodded, "And besides I mean for all we know she could be gone for weeks….months…years" as she said with sarcasm Gohan suck lower into the grass more depressed, "Or decades...or centuries…or what-if she got ran over by a train"

Gohan screamed of horror and fear.

Angela went on as if she didn't hear him, "Or she was kidnapped, or harasses, or she died in a crash, or was shot or--"

"ENOUGH already he's gonna have a nervous break down at this rate" Mai snapped pointing to Gohan who was curled up into a ball shaking with fear, his face paled and looked as if he where some zombie.

Angela shrugged flipping some orange-red curls from her shoulders, "Well it's not like I said she became a prostitute and had sex with some sleazy-drug filled drunks and give lap dances and blow jobs for free 'ya know" she titled her head smiling.

{THUD}

She then gasped with Erasa and Mai seeing Gohan unconscious.

"Kami, what a baby" Angela blinked.

Mai's room=

: Phone rings:

"Hello?" Mai asked picking up the phone, "Yeah…who's speaking…?" she then beamed, "Kami, how nice! Yeah, fine, same, yep! Still that…totally…no…really?" she then lay upon her bed giggling, "Oh you're kidding! Their SO gonna flip! Yeah, ok! Pizza it is! Yep…they'll LOVE to meet 'cha and this may get Gohan out of the dumps with his girlfriend gone problem…yeah…bye"

Now smirking she hung up the phone twirling about giggling, "Cuz have I got a surprise for you!!" she then jumped up in the air.

PARK=

"Gohan can we slide?" Goten chimed.

"Yeah they got this really tall one day" Pan nodded.

"It gots a lot of swirls too!" Trunks added.

"And it also has pictures of food" Demono said making the other saiyan chibis' even more hyper.

"Come on! Come on" the begged.

"Err…he's out for a while! So go on" M. Trunks said as the four scurried off.

Laughing as he sat on the bench with Gohan he looked worried at his friend.

"*He's been like this ALL week*" M. Trunks thought sadly. "*its as if they BROKE UP!! Kami why don't people tell me these things!! WHY? WHY? Calm down…breath…logic Trunks…breathe…*"

Gohan wore some blue jeans, white sneakers and a blue T-shirt while M. Trunks wore white jeans and a red shirt with a gray jacket.

"Wow look at the colors" M. Trunks said.

"Videl always loved fall…and especially in Satan City…there's a legend you know…" Gohan said still not blinking.

"When I was young...about four…there was this girl…Videl she was in my first class I every been too…maybe it wasn't love at the time…but I really liked her…we where inseparable playmates…we'd play on the slide and sidling down together was GREAT! She'd go first then I'd go…it was always like that….and below she'd be always waiting to offer me a hand…she'd kiss my cheek as a kid I thought just maybe she liked me as I her…" Gohan closed his eyes sighing deeply with a smile which he hadn't done in a week,
 "I remember the warmth of her hands and how they drew in…then one day...her family moved from Mt. Pazou…and then the Frieza thing…I was so lonely but it didn't seem to effect me much….that was…until afterwards when I went down all alone…I felt terribly lonely and sad…I started to cry…" he then opened his eyes, "…the warm hands that always pulled me up,…where gone…and maybe now forever…from then on slides just seemed to suffocate me every time I tried. So I slide as little as possible…"

M. Trunks nodded, "Well ya never know Gohan"

"Yeah but I always let the female make the first move…don't I? I don't have the courage to face the situation and that's why it results in dead end relationships… I guess I'm-I was...in the love relationship now…but when I was a kid it was pre-love…I guess…"

CAPSULE CORPS. =

"MMMM! I LOVE corn!" Goten chimed, 'But why'd I wear to dress up mom?"

"Because Mai's bring a friend over" Chichi said finish placing the silverware with Bulma.

"Ok, everyone ready" Mai asked as they nodded well Piccolo only grunted and Veggie well we hope that was a sort of a yes.

The doorbell rang.

"And this is my friend…Gohan meet my friend"

"Pleasure" Gohan shrugged yawning.

"Gohan" Chichi scolded.

Gohan heard a giggle as he open his eyes the giggle was quit familiar maybe around the Cell Games…

"V-VIDEL?!" he yelled.

She giggled titling her head to the side, "Miss me lover boy?"

She wore a blue tube top and a white skirt with sneakers.

Her hair tied up with a golden ribbon and her skin so shiny and lovely. 

"Aren't you happy to see me?" she made a mockery pout.

"Of course" he blushed and hugged her.

"Ok, ok! Break it up!" Veggie boomed.

Videl giggled, "You're like my father! Speaking of my father--: gasp:" she then went to the door waving, "Daddy come on already leave that in the car!"

Everyone frozen.

HURCULE!!!!

LATER =

"That could have gone better" Mai sighed.

Videl smiled at Gohan once more then it faded, "G-Gohan you're acting so cheerful…and I"

He stood still seeing her shake.

"…as if you didn't care at ALL about me…that I was gone…like it was a normal day having this brat away huh?"

"What?" Gohan asked, "I'm just happy to see you that's all Videl"

"Please stop giving me that cold smile…it's an empty one a freak one…I know…you know it…even the dead could tell…" Videl said looking up.

The gang stopped what they where doing.

This backfired big time.

"*I guess my attitude brought the wrong results*"

"Videl…" Hercule came in with Cahokia who was shaking.

"What's wrong?" she asked a tad frightened her father was so pale like flour and her favorite maid as well besides her shaking.

"It-its Sharpener…he"

"What? What's wrong with him? Tell me!" she said.

"He and Erasa were on the highway coming over here…some kids where drunk and…" Cahokia tried to explain still shaking.

"No…" Videl said softly feeling the emotion take over her...she knew them both as along as she knew Gohan well over 11 years…they couldn't be…could they?

Cahokia's Sharpener's mother…she wouldn't lie and her father was a terrible acting in such cases.

"Are-are they dead?" Mai said softly just as shocked as Videl and Gohan.

Cahokia shook her head no, "Erasa had some injures a broken rib, a few stitches needed, a few broken bones but she'll live" she said softly as the girls.

"And Sharpener?" Videl squeaked feeling Gohan's hand upon her shoulder for support.

Cahokia swallowed hard they could tell she was having a hard time.

Hercule cleared his throat, "Sharpener the lad is in a coma…their not sure he'll make it at this rate…but there's always hope…and I"

Videl had fainted in Gohan's arms and Mai on M. Trunks.

"Their doing everything in their power…" Cahokia said though she was still in doubt.

"No there not…you're the one who helped Videl and I through my wife's death …and I shall make sure you don't feel that horrid feeling within my power Cahokia…I swear that to you…" Hercule gave her hand a gentle yet firm squeeze, "That's a promise I tend to keep…"

She smiled at him though it was a watery smile she nodded, "Thank you…"

"I'll assist! Being head of Capsule corps. You shall have ME and other fine and educated top scientist and doctors at hand" Bulma chimed.

Her father drinking his latte nodded confidently, "Bulma's a genius"

Mrs. Briefs nodded as well, "your son should be out of that nasty coma and flirting and happy again really soon!"

Cahokia was overwhelmed by all the room's kindness and volunteer.

Goten and the chibis' offered to make a sweet card for Sharpie and others volunteered their support in ways possible.

Even Veggie whom volunteered to speak *cough* Threaten *cough* Dende and King Yema if need be mostly because of pleas *cough* yeah right! Frying pan *Cough*!

Mai and Videl where placed in a guestroom gently and then left along.

They suffered tremulously like Mrs. Pencil who was sleeping peacefully in another room.

They all hoped this wouldn't go in vain…Mai, Videl, and Mai would feel empty without that jock of a friend making them laugh and annoy them…especially HIS own family. "*That knucklehead was some guy…a strange guy…well not like me that's for sure*" Gohan thought.

Erasa…she loved Sharpener she'd be so heartbroken as well…he hoped she wouldn't go to suicide in this event.

"Gohan, Angela called she's heading over to the hospital!" Chichi said hanging up the living room phone.

"Thanks mom" Gohan said.

"Hold up! I'm his pal too!" Sharpener said.

"Me too! Even though he's a little nutty" Videl and Mai appeared combing their hair.

"But-but" the two teen demi-saiyans stuttered but receiving a glare they obeyed.

Cahokia drove on ahead …well she was there before they got there …how who knows…hum...a car maybe. 

HOSPITAL=

"Will Doctor Eunice please report to the ER …Repeat Doctor Eunice please report to the ER! That is all" a female nurse has said over the intercom.

She then saw Gohan, Mai, Videl, Angela, and M. Trunks.

She then titled her head, "May I help you kids?"

"*I'm no kid*" they all wanted to shout.

"We're here to see a Sharpener Pencil?" Mai said.

"Oh sorry kiddos but none's allowed back there"

Moments later after M. Trunks flirted with her.

She smiled at them, "Though you're a WONDERFUL flirter and sweet talker I'm sorry but acess DEINED!!" she snapped.

"Listen here TOOTS! I got a friend in there and if I gotta pull of ALL those fake nails, take away all your fricki' make-up and through you fashion books and clothes off a skyscraper I WILL!!" Videl snapped.

The nurse looked paled and frightened looking at her nails, "You wouldn't…you couldn't ruin such perfection would …y-you?"

 "Try me" she waved her hand lazily as she leaned on the counter then turned to the nurse with a mischievousness smirk.

The nurse yelped and scurried pulling out a draw of lies searching swiftly and quit frankly she was sacred out of her pants.

"Pencil…Pencil…Pencil…Pence…penal...*Where do they get such wacky last names*" she then beamed, "Ah! Pencil. Sharpener?!" she whorled around hopefully, "Blonde…about ye high...A total flirt"

Before they got a chance to ask she replied he came there everyday helping some elderly and cheering up,

Everyone thought it was sweet and kindhearted of the annoying jock but still they had to see him.

"Oh…uhm is there an Erasa Rubbers in?" Angela asked.

The nurse shot her a dirty look then she squirmed seeing Videl smirk cracking her knuckles.

"Err…sure…let's see…Rubbers…Rattle…Robbers…Ruler… AH! Here! She's in room 334 and Sharpener's in room 375…" she then pointed around the corner with her thumb, "Oh there's an elevator if you like, level 3!"

Nodding and thanking the nurse they left.

She sighed, "AHHHA!! My hair's frizzing out!" she gasped looking in her mirror as waiters in the room fell over she dusted and twirled her hair with grunts and mutters then she then looked sad but added a flick of her eyeliner winked satisfied in the mirror, "Another perfection creation!"

ELEVATOR=

Mai and Videl where quiet along with Angela.

Surprising at least for Angela mostly but M. Trunks and Gohan could feel the tension.

Pretending to cough they saw Videl and the girls tense dramatically.

Shifting their feet's left to right they sensed all three's ki soar but relaxed when the boys stopped shifting.

"*Man this silence sucks! We should have brought the chibis' along...NUAH! Trunks and Goten would be having wheelchair races and sure some folks into strokes and heart attacks*" they paled seeing their moms' yelling and pulling their ears to yell harder in them and starving them with only human size meals with daily frying pan hits…THE HORROR  THE PAIN THE AGONY!!! AUHHAAA!!!

Flashback________

She dropped her books bending over in the clear hallway she saw a hand touch the books.

She thought it was Gohan but the complexion looked tanner than Gohan's.

She gasped meeting the male's eyes.

Dark eyes…filled with so many emotions it made her head spin.

His hair up revealing his forehead and he had a slight scar with some strange armor.

"You showed up at the perfect time…your destiny is about to unfold little one…take a look" then he vanished before her eyes leaving her speechless and her body shaking as she then looked down at her books with a letter written in some strange language. "*He-He just vanished out of n-nowhere!*"

End of flashback________

NEARING SHARPNER'S ROOM=

"*Erasa was healing great and Goten gave her a senzu bean so*" Videl thought.

"WHERE IS HE?!" Erasa came around the corner skirting around an elderly couple.

"He's just two rooms ahead" Mai said.

Erasa gulped but followed looking as if she weren't hurt by the accident but freaked several of her doctors and nurses.

Opening the door Erasa felt like crying seeing Sharpener lying so still, all those machines, tubes, the IV…it was too much.

Videl stood there rooted to the floor.

Water…

Fire…water…

Pain…

Water…

Sorrow…

Gone…

Fire…

Forever…

Silence…

Water…Fire…sorrow…Pain…

MOMMA? MOMMA?! NOOO! MAMA!!! YOU CAN'T BE GONE MOMMA!! MOMMA DON'T GO!!!

DON'T LEAVE ME AL ALONE!!!!

"But you did leave me all alone …didn't you momma…" Videl whispered softly to herself clutching to her arms tightly shivering as if she where cold.

"Videl you ok?" Gohan asked.

Videl nodded, "Fine" she gave him a fake smile hoping he'd buy it.

Gohan didn't buy it for a second but could feel she wanted to be alone.

Videl stepped outside of the door leaning against the door weeping.

"*It's happening again!! UG…!!*" she yelled mentally curly up into a bal, "*It's MY fault you died momma isn't it? Momma come back…please…*"

"We'll be together…YOU and ALL the people we love…" she said softly "Good bye…my sweet Videl…never lose yourself…never…"

Videl gasped her hair flinging back as her eyes widen as she heard her mother's last words repeat to her.

Her body felt numbed …yet different.

What was happening to her?

She didn't know.

She looked next to her seeing an envelope.

It was written in some strange language yet she understood it.

Picking it up it read, "To Miss. Videl Satan…*S-should I open it…?*" she then slowly opened the letter slowly as her heart pounded against her chest then she stopped her eyes shimmering with tears soon to be released, "*The smell of the Royal Tear drops… like mother always planted in the garden…*" she then looked at the note seeing a petal from that very blue rose then a full royal tear drop rose landed upon her lap, "The time, at last…it's ripe…I await you…I await you…to complete your destiny…release me…" she read the note as her hands shook she gripped her white skirt tightly not believing what she now read.

She stood up, "Is this some sick joke?"

"No it's very real…" a male voice spoke.

Gasping once more she realized without looking behind her it was the voice of the male who she met in the halls of O.S.H.

"The bitter end is NOT that far away…neither is your place within your destiny….you'll see what you desire the most…soon…very soon"

She whorled around, "WAIT!"

But he vanished.

All she saw was the black cloak of his.

She dropped to her knees, "Wait…" she murmured.

"Videl you ok?" Gohan placed a hand on her shoulder.

"LET GO!" she yelled and raced off leaving Gohan still hand confused.

Through the halls, down the stairs growling, and swiftly through the doors she raced to her house to her mother's garden.

She slowly walked down the moss growing sidewalk of the garden.

The fountain of two doves and three little doves around them was still like it was years ago.

A cloak figure stood before her it was a different one, much thinner and not bulky than the male she met.

She approached it cautiously.

"There you are…Videl Satan…" the woman said.

"*That-that voice…it can't be…can it…?*" she gasped once more seeing the fountain come back to life and so did the flowers. As if her mother's presence where there.

"It is time...to complete your destiny" the female turned then the male from before joined her.

"Destiny…?" her pupil where gone, her ki lowered as she floated closer to them by the command of the male's hand.

"VIDEL!!!" a male voice yelled making the two cloaked figures scream in rage and with that vanished.

Videl collapsed onto the grass.

Gohan ran up to her holding her close to him.

"She ok?" Mai asked panting as she placed her hands upon her knees to stable her balance.

"Just fainted...she's ok…* But who where those people…I lost Videl once I sure as heck not gonna lose her again*"

Videl opened her eyes half way unnoticed, "Des-tiny…"
