Gohan and Kiara were heading back to Capsule Corporation for dinner. Afterwards, Gohan was considering bringing Kiara home with him. It had been a crazy day since the two met. It was getting dark out by the time Gohan and Kiara had reached Capsule Corp.
"Hey everybody." Gohan called when he entered.
"Oh, what's up?" Yamcha turned around from watching the TV.
"So, more for dinner?" Bulma asked.
"If you don't mind."
"Gohan, it'd be great to have you!" Trunks beamed.
"Thanks." Gohan stepped aside. "Can Kiara join in too?"
"Well sure." Bulma smiled. "Come with me Kiara."
"Ok." She followed Bulma out of the room.
"Whew." Gohan flopped down on the couch next to Yamcha who was turning up the volume of the game.
"Rough day hu?"
"Yea, you have no idea."
"So what's the deal with that girl? I thought you were with Hurcule's daughter."
"Yea I am, Kiara and I are just friends."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Well you're sure really close friends for just knowing each other for one day."
"Uh." Gohan stopped.
Was Yamcha right, did he really he have feelings for Kiara? No, he loved Videl!
"Something wrong Gohan?"
"Yamcha, what if I do have feelings for Kiara? I love Videl though."
"Gohan, what you need is some advice from me, the love master."
"Ok." Gohan perked up and Yamcha began the secretive conversation.
"I really want to thank you for everything that you've done for me, Mrs. Bulma." Kiara was saying as she helped her in the kitchen.
"Sure, any friend of Gohan's is a friend of mine. By the way, call me Bulma."
"Ok, Bulma." They went back to work on dinner.
"Hey dad?" Trunks asked.
"Yes?" Vegeta turned to him, they were setting up in the dining room.
"Who is that girl?"
"A friend of Gohan's."
"His girlfriend?"
"No, that's Hurcule's daughter."
"Videl?"
"Yes."
"So why isn't she over?"
"I don't know."
"Why, did they break up?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?"
Trunks paused suddenly, "Sorry dad." They went back to setting up the table.
Soon dinner was ready and everyone was in the dining room getting ready to eat.
"I'm really glad you could join us Gohan, you too Kiara." Bulma was saying.
"Thanks." They smiled.
"Gohan, why didn't you bring Videl?" Trunks asked.
"Uh." He froze.
"Trunks." Vegeta slapped him upside the head.
"Ow! Oh, sorry.."
Gohan's arm fell back to the table, the fork making a quite clang on the plate. Kiara stopped drinking and looked over at him, she could sense that something was wrong.
"Are you ok?"
"Hu?" Gohan looked up, his eyes meeting Kiara's. "Nothing.."
Kiara sighed, "May I be excused?" She stood up.
"Well, of course." Bulma watched her leave the table.
Gohan sighed and looked away, feeling sick to his stomach. Everyone was right. Why didn't he bring Videl? He did have feelings, didn't he? So why was he trying to hide them? Because he loved Videl, not Kiara. Right?
"Gohan, are you ok?" Trunks asked, noticing his face. Gohan didn't reply, he just stood up and left the dining room. "Is he ok?"
"I dunno son, maybe he's sick." Bulma shrugged.
"It better not be from your food." Vegeta muttered and continued to eat hungrily.
Gohan decided that maybe a walk around Capsule Corp. would help him clear his head. He walked by a balcony and saw Kiara looking out to the stars in the night sky. Gohan walked over.
"Hey."
"Hu?" Kiara turned around as Gohan came up next to her.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea."
"Look, I'm really sorry."
"What! Why?"
"I forgot that all this time I was supposed to be helping you get back home and yet I've been treating you like my girlfriend, when I already have one."
"Am I being an obligation?"
"What, no! You're not bothering me at all. It's just that, now that we're friends, I still will keep my promise to get you home, but we'll never see each other again."
"I understand."
"That's why I was spending so much time with you, but people were taking it the wrong way. They were convinced that we were going out. Now I believe it too."
Kiara looked at Gohan who stared down quietly, "But we're not." He looked up. "We're friends Gohan, and as long as we know that. I wouldn't take you away from your girlfriend because we're friends. Let everyone think what they want to think, we can't tell them what to do. As long as we know the truth, isn't that enough?"
Gohan smile, "Yea." Kiara smiled back. "Now come on, we'd better go back to dinner before everyone else thinks we're making out." Kiara giggled.
"There you are. I hope you found some snacks because Yamcha and Vegeta finished your dinner." Bulma said when the two came back into the room.
"You missed a great eating contest!" Trunks smiled eagerly.
"Would you like some Peptobismol?" Gohan laughed, seeing Yamcha and Vegeta.
"Liposuction would be nice." Vegeta groaned.
"I need a wheelbarrow for my stomach." Yamcha moaned. Everyone laughed.
"Well we'd better be going." Gohan announced.
"Ok then. I'm glad you were able to join us." Bulma smiled.
"Thanks." Kiara grinned back.
Gohan and Kiara left. Gohan had invited Kiara to spend the night at his house because she had nowhere else to go. The mountain district was far from Capsule Corp. in the city. So rather than fly her, he decided to take Nimbus.
"Hey Nimbus!" Gohan yelled. Kiara watched as a golden cloud came rushing over like a dog. "Come on." Gohan sat down.
"Is it safe?" Kiara looked strangely at it.
"Of course." Gohan grabbed her hand and helped her on.
She sat down, "Wow, it's so nice."
"Let's go." They flew off.
"Wee! Oh wow, Gohan this is amazing."
"Hang on Kiara. Let's show her some real flying Nimbus."
Nimbus began to do tricks as Gohan and Kiara held on. At one time when Nimbus did a loop, Kiara nearly lost her balance but Gohan grabbed onto her and held her close so she wouldn't get scared and fall.
"Thanks Gohan." She sighed.
Gohan smiled but then hesitated, there he'd gone again. The dormant feelings he had for Kiara were starting to show again. And he wasn't the only one to see them. On the ground below in Satan City, Videl had seen them and she was also convinced that Gohan and Kiara had feelings for each other and were going out. She stormed into her house. Nimbus flew over Satan City. Gohan cleared his throat and moved away from Kiara.
"I'm sorry, I just can't."
"Hu? Gohan what's wrong, what is it?"
"It's just that.." Gohan stopped. "Never mind." Kiara sighed sadly, she knew. Nimbus finally got the two to Gohan's house. They went inside.
"Gohan, there you are." Chi-Chi ran over and hugged him. "Where have you been?"
"Sorry mom." He was embarrassed to be seen like that in front of Kiara. She giggled.
"Oh, and who is this? That's not Videl."
"No mom, she's my new friend Kiara. I'm trying to help her get back home."
"So that's the lost girl you found." Everyone turned at the sound of Goku's voice. "Hi there, I'm Goku, his dad."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kiara." They shook hands. "Wow, you sure are strong and handsome, now I know where Gohan gets it." Goku laughed and Gohan blushed.
"Oh, I like her Gohan." Chi-Chi smiled. "Well Kiara, we have the sofa in the living room that turns into a bed. You're welcome to that if you'd like."
"Thank you." Kiara nodded respectfully. "See you tomorrow Gohan." She walked off.
"She's nice." Chi-Chi said to him.
"Yea, I know."
"What's the matter?" Goku asked.
"Everyone thinks that we're going out but I love Videl. I'm only spending so much time with Kiara because since I'm trying to help her get back home, we'll never see each other again, and we've become good friends in just one day. At first everyone thought that we had feelings for each other. In the beginning I didn't either, but now I do."
Goku and Chi-Chi were silent, they had no idea what to say. Chi-Chi decided to break the silence, "I'm going to put Goten to bed. Good night boys."
"I'll be in, in a minute." Goku turned back to Gohan. He still looked depressed. Goku patted his back. "Good night Gohan." He walked off.
"Night dad." Gohan sighed and went to his room.
Kiara had heard everything from the living room. Here she was ruining Gohan's relationship with Videl. Gohan, the one trying to help her be reunited with her family. She sighed and slumped to the floor, she felt terrible.
Gohan and Kiara were heading back to Capsule Corporation for dinner. Afterwards, Gohan was considering bringing Kiara home with him. It had been a crazy day since the two met. It was getting dark out by the time Gohan and Kiara had reached Capsule Corp.
"Hey everybody." Gohan called when he entered.
