In: Wedding blues Part A:

Lol, I hope you enjoy this! I brought back TWO surprises! Guess! C 'ya at the altar! Don't own DBZ. I have to catch up on my GV fanfic reading… who would have guessed I missed so much in that time! Later! Most definitely a Drama or a soap related Fanfic I realized scanning the chapters.
Hurcule's Mansion=
On the way Gohan clamed down somewhat to Videl's relief and Tori's disappointment.
"Miss Videl! Master Tori, Gohan dear what are you doing here?" Cahokia whispered opening the door ever so slightly.
"Amanda called about something 'important'?"
"Other than emergency #1?" Cahokia asked bored by the conversation as Videl.
"What's #1?" Gohan and Tori asked blinking.
Videl and Cahokia shrugged, "Broken Nails"
"VIDEL DARLING!" Amanda swung the door open wide. Her hair now blonde with light highlights and her eyes a hazel color she looked them over, "Oh my! And whose these young men?" she actually purred that. Didn't she know SHE'S about twice their age? What a little—
"This is Son Gohan and Tori Satan" Videl offered flatly with a mockery of a bow Tori smiled politely while Gohan glared at him but gave Amanda a polite smile.
"AHHH! Hurc-some NEVER mentioned a son!" she looked slightly mortified then rubbed her chin as her eyes darken. She looked as if she was thinking hard which would take a while they decided.
"Err… Master Hercule is out… Uhm…" Cahokia said desperately to leave the scene as did the others they nodded.
"Uhm sure! Woman get me my 12 o' clock spa ready this instance!" Amanda said with a gruff and curt voice indicating 'no' wasn't an answer or a choice in the matter.
Rolling her eyes Cahokia turned around giving Amanda a fake yet convincing smile she nodded, "Yes, it shall be ready within the minute"
Amanda then smoked the rest of her cigarette as if trying to look attractive. In al honesty she is attractive but she didn't have everything a guy really SHOULD want.
Eying Videl said, "And we MUST do something with that hair of yours! And maybe some cigarettes would boost some attractiveness for you too!"
Videl glared at her, "My hair's FINE thank you and I don't need to smoke to get what I want! Believe me that painted up face won't give you my mother's love! He loves my mother STILL all you're doing is delaying that break down"
She whorled around saying hello to Jock the middle aged British butler and then headed for the entertainment room.
Gohan guessed to pouch a few punching bags and he could imagine whose face would be on it.
Amanda stuck her nose in the air, "*Well I NEVER the little tramp… she'll get what's coming to her… and NO ONE will know… not even that stupid idiot Hercule… I am a gold digger specialist… I stop at nothing… even killing the heir and heiress of the HIS family name!*"
THE NEXT DAY=
"Videl! Come on we're gonna be late!" Serenity called.
"Coming" Videl called. She thanked kami Amanda wasn't there for she knew she'd strangle the woman.
She pulled on her sneakers and socks expertly and quickly.
"Guys wait up!" she yelled taking off as Jock and Cahokia smiled at the gates waving good-bye to her. She smiled and waved good-bye.
The wind brushing against her ivory skin.
She halted after matching steps of her brother and sister who where nearing Quoin street where Gohan and Mai awaited them.
"That's what happens when you sit in the room all morning talking to yourself about Kami knows what" Tori teased.
"TO-RI" Serenity warned and nudged him hard in the ribs.
"I was NOT!" Videl snapped with a slight pout. Videl then beamed and waved, "Hey Gohan! Hey Mai!"
"Hey!" they called back and returned the way.
Gohan gave Videl a kiss on the cheek and she returned the favor.
"Sorry we where late, but the brat was having a let's say 'a very deep conversation'!"
"Still teasing you?" Gohan whispered.
Videl smiled at Gohan's grin, "Sure is"
"I KNOW what I heard! She was talking to herself or" he turned with a spooked face, "Or to a ghost!"
"TO-RI grow up" Serenity nudged him making him double over for a while.
"Are you feeling ok?" Gohan asked.
Videl nodded then but a finger to her chin as they all walked, "Yeah, I guess… but I had a strange dream last night…"
"You too?" they asked in unison.
"Yeah, but like my mother always said 'dreams can tell you what you least expect'!" Videl replied.
"*The unexpected? Funny…That's what my dream said*" they thought but shrugged it off seeing Orange Star High coming up.
"Goten said he had one too, but he said he dreamed of having a mountain of French toast and he did" Mai grinned, "That kid's insane"
Later=
"Gohan dear it's for you" Cahokia returned after a few minutes from giving them cookies ten answering the doorbell.
Swallowing his cookie he went to the door and was dumbfounded.
"L-Lime?" He breathed.
"One and only" she smiled.
"I-I don't think you should be here right now"
"Right! We should elope" she said.
"E-E—WHAT?" he covered his mouth, "Lime what the heck are you talking about?"
"We should! I mean Videl and you cannot be right! You and I are perfect together"
"Lime… I like you … but ONLY as a friend… sorry…"
"Kiss me" she blurted out.
"Ok… the elopement was bad enough Lime… I think you should go now"
"Gohan" her voice was become g husky nearing a purr as she enclosed the distant.
Their lips an inch away, desire burning within Lime's body as she neared Gohan who squirmed.
"SON GOHAN?!" a female yelled.
Gohan gulped.
Serenity stood mortified by the scene she and Mai walked upon. Dropping her purse Mai grabbed Lime by the collar, "You fiend! You swine! You damn little Bit--"
"What's going on here?" Tori appeared finishing his tea, "Sister, Mai, and Gohan? Who's the girl?"
"I AM A WOMAN" Lime snapped snatching her collar from Mai's grip.
"What-EV-ER" he rolled his eyes, "Anyways don't tell me what I just saw seconds ago was true"
Gohan stuttered.
Lime nodded, "Yes it is! Gohan and I are secret lovers since seven years ago"
Serenity sighed deeply, "I am gonna get a bath and a pedicure"
Mai nodded, "And Lime I'll call Suzuki she's an expert of 'faking things' or a drama queen Angela"
"And I am gonna tell Videl" Lime snapped.
Tori yawned, "What ever toots, grow up some then call back 'k?" then he went inside with Mai and Serenity following.
"I hope you like silky and satin for your coffin" Lime snickered.
Gohan slightly glared at her, "Videl's NOT gonna believe you… I hope you know"
"You don't know 'your' Videl too well eh? Remember how jealous she gets when another female's close to you? Angela? Mai? Serenity? Amy? Myself especially?"
"You're blackmailing me?"
"Why not? I know for a fact there are 'Other' things you haven't told her? Hum? You just moved here a while back and I did mention we knew another quite a while if you get my drift she'll certainly kill you"
"What's the--"
"Nothing much… Just a date"
"Wit-with you?" he swallowed.
"Yeah, so what?" she glared.
He glared back, "One date as agreed"
She nodded, "Just one"
"Fine…"
She smirked, "Excellent… see you at Senoia Street 7 o' clock and we'll take it from there* Perfect! This time tomorrow Gohan shall be mine… and Videl a total debacle! This will work out to the perfect plan to MY happiness and Videl's despair! I finally won my revenge Videl… Finally you shall know true sadness*"
Tick-Tock=
"*This is awful!*" both Gohan and Videl
yelled in their minds.
Café=
Gohan sighed spinning the straw in his drink, "*I can't believe this…*"
Lime sighed looking up at Gohan, "Gohan this date is starting to suck! What makes your dates with Videl So-so?"
"Special? Enjoyable? Exciting? Adventurous? Totally--"
Lime put up a hand stopping Gohan's rambles of adjectives.
"Yeah, uh… those words"
"Well, we have lots of things in common… we talk about really nothing in particular… we know some strange people and I know her Uncle for over fourteen years"
Lime nodded, "Interesting. How?"
"He was---well sort of a family friend… Videl didn't really know he's her uncle when she met him until a few weeks ago"
"Bizarre I guess… but how could you ramble on about nothing?"
"I guess when you're in love that's how it is"
"Only fools and poets fall in love"
"I guess I'm the fool because Videl's a wonderful poet" Gohan sighed in some what a dreamy gaze at his soda.
Lime shuttered slightly, this wasn't going as according to plan se noted.
"*Some how I MUST get that IDIOT to fall for me! Even if I have to---*" Lime thought darkly to herself.
Hercule Mansion=
"You CANNOT get married" Videl yelled shaking her head in disbelief.
"And why the heck not?" Amanda asked trying to say it politely but held an edge Videl wanted to smack her for.
"Because you're the MOST irresponsible nit-witted dumb ass smoking filled air-headed gossip spreading ill-mannered totally fashion reject, snobbish bitch I ever MET! And believe me I met a few in the past but you take the cake did I mention your clothes are two seasons behind furthermore---"
"That's ENOUGH" Amanda snapped, "When Hercule and I get married I shall make sure YOU go to boarding school and have a WELL behaved and skill filled female to be Gohan's girlfriend! You should be 'round' by NOW if you know how it is done" Amanda rubbed her stomach, "I am well skilled in that area! Got nine children already from the top milliners! I heard that Bulma is going out of town for a week! That husband of hers is quite a treat! You know if I got my breast higher and my plastic surgeon here I could get that boy toy of yours too" she then laughed utterly pleased in seeing Videl's face red with rage and blood thirst.
"That's so disgusting! Gohan loves for who I am! We don't need sex for that! It's so stupid and you proved that too! You a grown woman trying to get my—UGH! Nasty also I bet you can't even remember which guy is whose child! Furthermore that cannot be my father's child because you've been like that since I can remember before you started seeing my father! Or else he must have been unconscious and you did all the work Blondie! You are nothing more than a sex driven gold diggin' slut!"
Amanda flipped her hair with a slight snort and spoke curtly, "You don't know who you're messing with! Try and ruin this wedding and YOU won't see daylight EVER again---"
"Amanda? Videl? Ah! There you two are" Hercule poked his head into the room, "Lovely you're talking! Did you tell her sweetie?"
"Course honey! She's thrilled! She can't wait to have a MOTHER now" Amanda giggled.
"We have to see the jeweler in an hour sweetie" Hercule said.
Videl gritted her teeth and clenched her fist her ki rising dangerously while her black hair started to rise flashing gold.
"See you two for dinner" then he blow them a kiss and scurried off with Jock who gave Videl a sympathetic smile which Videl then clamed down a tad.
"Good" Amanda smiled.
"You will NEVER be my mother" Videl roared in outrage giving Amanda the king of death glares and walked out.
Amanda stiffened slightly but laughed twirling about she looked at the crescent moon high in the sky when her blonde locks fell upon her shoulders and her hazel eyes glistened with darkness, "Soon… oh very soon Videl… you shall perish… the next full moon the sacrifice of the heir and heiress' shall die"
Her cackling filled the night air.
Videl's room=
Couldn't her farther see what a witch she was?
It was some what funny.
Videl at first loath Amanda but wanted her father to suffer on the account he never ONCE looked sad…never ONCE missed her mother…his own wife for such short years and a life long friend.
How could he do such a thing?
Videl wanted to kick to scream to act like a four year old who had to look at her mother's face when she was dying… and yet… it was so comforting to be honored and special to see her mother's last moment to experience her finally breathes…To fell her mother's hopes and dreams equally special smashed by her father and part of it was absorbed by her.
He said part of him died that day too… now she saw it was a damn lie.
He recline the truth to her, his own daughter… one day to reign over New Vegeta…
How could he live with himself?
Mother was always there when she was needed for support, or anything! She was the perfect mate except she didn't live that long.
Videl wanted to be partially just like her mother, but knew she couldn't.
She narrowed her eyes, "I'm gonna ruin this wedding… and it shall go my way… it's high time I did the right thing for a change… this is for you too mother… all the suffering we all have shall end now… that wedding…" Videl then scoffed, "Amanda won't know what hit her… I'll make sue of it…personally" her eyes flashed turquoise then to cerulean while her canines sparkled.
Dinner=
Videl sat at the table nibble at this or that.
She gave the cook, Jock and Cahokia a watery smile which where her closet of friends in the mansion besides her brother and sister.
She picked at her food, while Serenity ate and played the piano.
Tori talked about sports with his trainer on his lap-top and talking to his agent on his cell- phone.
Tori then excused himself to finish up his call and Hercule asked the maids, butlers and servants to leave for a while.
Videl still picked at her food but looked up when Hercule cleared his throat.
"Videl? We've been concerned about you"
"How uncomfortable for her" Videl muttered.
"Excuse?"
"Nothing" Videl replied.
"Videl what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You don't even know dad! She's trying to replace MY mother! I don't care if this is childish but I cannot live with myself knowing I let this happen! How can you be happy with this sult! She'll only leave you once she gets insurance from the family name! She's even planning on getting Uncle Vegeta! Can't you see that?!"
"*Oh I'm too young to be a rich young widow! Wait I'm rich! Well he'll be out of the picture the day after!*" Amanda thought ignoring Videl; well she just had a short attention span.
"Videl I think that's enough" Hercule grunted.
"NO I held my tongue long enough! This is a damn fantasy your living father! Don't you remember mother? What she said? She'd love you forever… even at your wedding you both said 'our love shall always live on… even beyond the grave'! You cannot break your promise! Can't you feel the warmth of her presence around you? Can't you? You don't even care how Amanda affects my life, our lives! She's horrible and a liar father! Are you so blind you cannot see that? If you can't even keep that cherished promise… then what's there left for me to believe in you father… tell me what?" tears where going down her cheeks as she sniff holding them back. Her blue eyes where the key, even as a child they made you feel guilty… real guilty.
"Videl I still DO love your mother I--"
"Show my mother that… show me that…" she whispered.
"Videl… stop living in the past…The past is OVER… move on already! She's gone and is NEVER coming back! Stop being a baby and grow up!"
Videl gasped her tears flying up into the sky and her eyes shimmering wildly she stiffened and ran off up the stairs and leaned against the wall. She covered her mouth muffled her sobs.
Serenity stopped playing standing shock as Tori dropped his cell-phone.
"Maybe I should--" Hercule started.
"No… it isn't necessary… you said she needs to grow up darling" Amanda purred making small circles upon Hurcule's chest, "Don't you think love?"
"Yes…" he sighed.
Serenity helped Tori pick up his cell-phone which was in four different pieces.
"I think we should move up the wedding to tomorrow Hercule"
"So-So Soon?" he asked.
Videl gasped covering her mouth she shook her head horrified, "*N-No! No this cannot be!*" Videl then ran into her room.
Amanda snickered darkly to herself playing with her locket that glowed she smirked, "*Soon oh so very soon princess*"
SOMEWHERE IN THE DARKNESS=
Princess Ice, her blue kin glowing by the ice throne and her long blue locks of hair flowing to her feet. Her icy eyes narrowed escalating the dark impassive yet emotionless clearly in them.
The crystal blue gown flowed to her feet's covering her bare feet while her indigo-emerald wings sprouted.
She looked at her crystal ball before her looking at the Z- fighters enjoying their day.
She clutched her fists, "This is a golden opportunity… this is the only chance in thousands of years… only chance or await another three millenniums! They cannot fail! We MUST cease this opportunity and reach my goal!" she snarled narrowing her eyes even more making them glow an eerie red and chuckled. Her body glowed blue as she changed forum her hair becoming shorter and her eyes hazel as she cackled into the night, "The future is NOW! My palace shall arise and with that my rein!!! Die saiyans DIE!!! Look out Vegeta boy do I have a surprise for you"
VIDEL'S ROOM=
"*Gohan's not home… Mai was stuttering and I couldn't understand her… I better talk to Oolong about learning the language of 'fear'… why is she avoiding my questions? It's nothing really I guess… but why'd I get mad? How could father do such a thing! He's such a fool! I shall NOT be put down so easily! Amanda hasn't heard the last of me! This wedding shall cease for my name isn't Videl Anastasia Satan!*" she then curled up into a ball.
: Knock:
: Knock:
~Fate is cruel…
"Videl? You ok?" Hercule asked.
"Fine" Videl lied and it was obvious.
Hercule stood there outside the door for another second then laughed, "Knew you would! That's my girl! Amanda and I are going out to the jeweler later sweet pea!" she heard his heavy foot-steps quickly cease.
Videl sniffed tears rolling down her cheeks, "Oh father… y-you just don't understand me at ALL…"
-- She's gone and is NEVER coming back! She's gone and is NEVER coming back! She's gone and is NEVER coming back! Back! Back! Back! Back!--
Videl sniffed and groaned closing her eyes and tightened her hold to her legs, "NO! I cannot believe this! It can't be father! This battle MUST be fought! If I didn't hold onto my beliefs… if I believed you father… I'd …be lost…" she whispered.
~Fate works in different ways…
ELSEWHERE=
Videl looked at her watch.
Damn she was out for over three hours and it was too cold.
She went to the movies but couldn't watch for she sulked during half of it then ran out seeing everyone where couples making-out, necking and some looked way too honey for public viewing.
She missed Gohan so much.
She couldn't sense him.
He hid his ki on purpose and it was scattered among the humanoids.
She sighed walking into the restaurant Le Escargot chouse chic.
She gasped seeing Gohan and Lime eating over a candle lit dinner.
She was looking at him with lust and either he was allowing her or he was too naïve and out of practice form their lacks of dates.
She turned around too quickly and ran into a tray of food which HAD to be for Gohan and Lime's table.
She heard laughs and chuckles as she blushed she met eye contact with Gohan.
She felt ashamed, embarrassed, tired and most of all frustrated she couldn't take this.
She got up after coughing up some lettuce piece and ran out crying.
"Videl" Gohan stood up and ran after her.
She cried.
It was too much, she couldn't take this anymore.
She wanted peace.
Maybe eternal peace!!!!
She ran to the park falling to her knees she cried by the fountain.
Her clothes where a complete mess! She had cookie on her face, ice cream on her shirt and noodles and salad dressing, pizza, fish and cheese all over.
She called Jock to pick her up but she felt awful.
Gohan must think she was a—ooohhh! She couldn't face him now… not ever! She was far too embarrassed and physically, emotionally and socially exhausted.
"Videl…" he whispered.
"J-Just go away" she sniffed.
"Videl… come on let's talk"
"Not tonight… I-I'm tired! Tired of everyone"
"Ok… tomorrow then?" he kissed her hand whispering the words in her ears receiving a light gasp.
He then took off giving her a loving glance over her shoulder.
She nodded her head feeling light as she swayed back falling into the lake.
Feeling her ki drop Gohan quickly arrived taking her into his arms and taking her to the hospital.
Her skin was blue while her breathing was irregular; her body looked dangerously dehydrated even before this, even paled and a chance to getting—
HOSPITAL=
Hercule exit Videl's room with the female nurse who wore her brown hair in a French bun with a few curls and olive eyes but Gohan was still by Videl's side in the room.
Clearing her throat she reported, "According to my research I say she'll be fine and she's lucking Gohan got to her in time. She'll be released at her current convalescing rate tomorrow"
"Great!" Chichi beamed.
"She'll make it for the wedding then? Lovely! I'd like to see the poor dear" Amanda smiled.
"B-But she's unconscious and a slight--" Hercule stuttered.
"Nonsense I just want to see here at her peaceful state!" Amanda smiled more, "Please" she purred in his ear.
"D-Doctor?" he asked.
Rolling her eyes with a heavy sigh, "One minute lady and that's that!"
"That's all it shall take!" Amanda snickered to herself as she entered the room politely asking Gohan to leave and he did.
"Is the potty lady real Trunks?" Goten asked.
"No" Trunks said plainly.
"Then who have I been 'aiming' at all these years? I mean! Well I think I'll ask Master Roshi! He's more 'worldly' but surely you believe in the garbage bunny" Goten replied.
Trunks fell over, Pan rolled her eyes as did Domino and Marron giggled.
Amanda smirked looking at Videl she poured out some black liquid that had mysterious smoke from it after applying to Videl's lips and made her swallow the spoon burned, "24 hours…"
ELSEWHERE=
Princess Ice snarled in the darkness.
"Dammit, where's the holders?" she bit her thumb nail, "The one of the purest of pureness? The one of rudeness of all rudeness? The one of pure pride of all prideful-ness? The holder of pure love of loving. The--Damn, them all! Where are the holders of the gates of Earth?" she clenched her fists once more, "This is my only chance to rein over the universes! The only chance within thousands of years! There's no turning back or waiting! NO TIME TO LOSE" she bellowed, "I MUST succeed! Yiuimiok!" she swiftly turned.
The male with dashing looks and ear length lilac hair with ebony eyes emerged from the darkness on his knees in a solute.
"Your iciness!" he said.
"When are yours incompetent servants going to get those gate holders?" she snapped.
"I-I you see your highness we--"
"I cannot believe you fools! I am running out of time! The full moon is tomorrow!"
Walking though the door slightly she tried and snickered but wailed and screamed in pain after Yiuimiok's gaze of awe.
Her skin burned as she hissed.
"Dammit, I need ice… that blasted planet has barely enough to sustain my life span! It revokes and cancels out my darkness! It must be eliminated along with the humanoids to be terminated with those saiyans!"
Images of people on earth at festivals, laughing and enjoying life, old people sitting or shopping other studying; people dancing, sleeping, working and children having fun and teens on dates could be seen though her those icy depths of hers called 'eyes'.
"As soon as the seven gates are open each in its own place it shall be easy to turn the entire universe into darkness with no challenges and paradise of Earth my newest domain addition! I shall triumph!! NOW!" she chuckled, "Oh happy universe… happy Earth filled with joy and warmth…no longer light! Take the rain of ice and forever freeze you into place as human icicles"
Slowly he saw ice begin to forum upon hills on earth though invisible to humans it was coming…
A/N: Wow woos! It came MUCH longer than I thought! Lol, Soap Opera themes yes.
I think its ok, lots of anger and angst; don't get me wrong I care deeply for Hercule! Also, look out for surprises in part TWO trust me it shall leave you stun and frozen in parts and even shocked. Questions? Review and I'll answer it in the next chapter coming soon!
