***************************************************************
ChiChi turned around in the kitchen to find Videl. She beamed she hadn't seen the girl since the dinner with her father. She smiled.
"Why hello dear, how are you?" ChiChi said calmly
"You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you?" Videl asked holding up the letter she read in the kitchen.
"Um, why would you ask that?" ChiChi asked nervously
"Because it says from ChiChi, and it's in your handwriting" Videl pointed out, at the moment ChiCh was blushing.
"Your not angry are you?" ChiChi asked as Gohan stood at the doorway. Videl nodded.
"No I'm not" Videl answered and hugged the woman. "Thank-you, it shows you really care about me and i love you for it"
"No problem Videl" she smiled at the girl as Gohan and Ben entered the room. "And who's this young man?"
"His names Ben" Videl answered leaning over to ChiChi to whisper in her ear. "His mother and sister were killed today, in a scene i was called up for so im taking him in until they get in contact with some relatives"
"OH, that's my daughter in law"
Videl phone rang at that moment, she picked it up. She sighed as she realised who was on the phone.
"OH MY LOVELY SWEET PEA WHERE ARE YOU I WAS SO WORRIED" Hercule said through the phone
"Daddy?" Videl whispered
"WHERE ARE YOU, YOUR AT THAT ALIENS HOUSE ARN'T YOU" Hercule shouted
"Uh, yes" Videl confessed "I had to see ChiChi about something, I'll be home in a minute"
"OK Sugar Plum I'm counting"
"Bye Daddy" Videl answered putting the phone in her pocket. She looked at ChiChi, then to Ben. "I've gotta go you know how my father is"
Gohan nodded his understanding. Goten was another story. He quickly latched himself onto Videl's leg. Gohan pulled him off.
"NO" Goten squealed, "I want you to be my sister again Videl"
She looked down on him. She opened her mouth to speak, But Gohan did first.
"She's still your sister squirt, just not at the moment, aint that right Shorty?" Gohan asked raising a brow. She nodded.
"It's True, Gohan walk me out to my copter please" Videl said, he nodded and followed the girl and boy out. Ben got into the copter first, Videl was standing outside it when Gohan smiled at her.
He felt his neck nervously. "Um, are you going to the dance with anyone because i uh, well, man, you see"
"i'd love too" Videl said, she had known Gohan long enough to know what he meant. He was always nervous around her, when he wanted to go somewhere with him that is.
'Thank Christ, she knows she don't have to wear a dress doesn't she?' he thought to himself.
"Yes i know i don't have to wear a dress Wonderboy" Videl said looking at him, he was shocked.
"I didn't say anything" Gohan said, "You better get going"
Videl nodded as she hopped in. The jet rose of the ground and flew off.
'Oh Videl, i love you so much, but i don't want you to choose between me and your father' Gohan thought to himself before turning to walk back into his house.
Hercule was pacing around the room. A young girl was in the room smiling. She had long black hair in two plaits by her sides, if it hadn't been for the fact that she was younger, she could pass for Videl's twin. Hercule sighed.
"Where is she? I told her to stay away from that Alien" Hercule said as Videl came strolling through the door. Ben following. "AND WHAT TOOK SO LONG?"
"Uh, sorry Dad i had to stop by the police station for Ben"
"And who's Ben?"
"I was called in for a disturbance this morning and it just so happened that the crime had two victims and they were Ben's mother and Sister and i offered to take him until his relatives can get here to pick him up, it's alright isn't it?" Videl looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Ofcourse it is Sugar Plum?" Hercule said
"VIDEL" the girl piped up from her seat on the bench, She had realised Videl was home when she heard Sugar Plum. she got off the bench and hugged her cousin.
"Madison, what are you doing here?" Videl asked
"To see you ofcourse, lunkhead" Madison said smiling, "How are you?"
"I've been Better" Videl said
"I heard" Madison said
Ben looked from girl to girl then to Hercule. "Why are they like that?"
"I have no idea" Hercule answered "Oh yeah, um someone from your school called you up to go to the dance with them?"
"I've already got a date" Videl breathed "Gohan's taking me"
"HE'S NOT TO TAKE YOU, DIDN'T WE HAVE THIS ARGUMENT ALREADY YOUR NOT TO DATE HIM"
"I'm not Dating him, it's just a dance, look your one to talk you never told me ChiChi sent you a letter"
"I just recieved it today" Hercule snapped, Madison sweat dropped as did Ben. She began to push him up to a room upstairs.
"You don't want to be around when they argue" she explained
Meanwhile Marker sat in his room with a friend. He had tall spikey blue hair, not tall but not short, kinda like Gohan's. He looked to be the same height as well roughly 6'4. He was muscular too, very muscular for a fact, especially since he was only wearing a white tank.
He had two bangs of hair slipped over next to his cheeks, and his eyes were lovely, just a dash of green to them. Marker handed his friend a bottle of coke.
"Think you can help me?" Marker asked sitting down,
"I don't know, it's quiet a task, and in three days, what was this guy thinking?" the man asked
"I don't know" Marker looked at his feet then up again, "Look it's really important that he does this, and since your the only one i know who plays the keyboard you have to please Jack"
He shivered at the use of his nickname. "My names Jackson Bluesommers you know that idiot" Jackson said smiling as his friend dropped to one knee he grabbed his hand. "what are you doing?"
It was at that moment that the door opened.
"I'm asking you to play at the dance with me on Sataurday?" Marker said
Lime burst out laughing. She couldn't help it. Neither could Jackson. She smirked at him. "Oh don't mind me, go on with your proposal"
Jackson laughed. "Dude, you know how i am on stage i can't do it, im not that social i can't be in the middle of a crowd and be like 'look at me, look at me'!"
"Your the only one, it's for a girl, come on, help a guy get love back"
"Oh.. Alright" Jackson replied reluctantly, Lime hugged him.
"Thank-you so much, we owe you big time" Lime answered "Now um when's the wedding?"
"Next Fall" Marker teased picking up his phone.He dialed Gohan's number. He had to inform him of Jackson, and the help he was 'offering'.
That night Videl and Ben were up watching a movie whilst Madison was in the shower. She smiled at the boy. He was opening up to her and she liked it alot.
"I udnerstand what your going through" Videl said showing her wrists, "Like i said before it does ease the pain"
"But i feel..."
"horrible after doing it i know"
"It's weird because when im around people i look happy but when im not im depressed"
"Sometimes people seem cheerful, but in reality, our reality is all fake. what souls have we lost for petty reasons, what divides us? sometimes the only answer is phony pride. what we think is against our code becomes wrong, when it's really alright. No matter what it is or how special and priceless it is"
Ben smiled up at her. "Thanks alot, who told you that?"
"My mom did before she died, i always remembered her because of that, it helped keep me out of depression for a time, and helps me stop hurting myself to conceal the pain"
Ben nodded. "Thank you Videl i needed a talk like that" and with that he hugged her good night.
The following morning Videl woke up in her room, to find Madison standing on the balcony with a man. she wiped her eyes and realised it was Gohan. She shot up and quickly slipped a shirt on over her bra. She walked out to the two.
"What are you two up too?" Videl asked brushing her hair.
"Gohan was just telling me about how much of a jerk uncle Herc is sometimes" Madison said
"You know at first i thought Madison was you" Gohan confessed, "You look alot alike you know"
"Yeah" Madison agreed "So Videl who's this boyfriend you were telling me about for two years, where is he now?"
"Well" Videl quickly said eying off Gohan. "I'll explain later"
"Ok, well come on, Uncle Herc, pulled a few strings and their going to let me attend Orange Star High til i leave again" Madison said "I've gotta get changed bye Gohan" she walked off.
Gohan stared at Videl. He smiled slightly. "Has your Dad calmed down yet?"
"Not really, he doesn't even know your here does he?" Videl laughed
He nodded. "Like I'm going to put myself through that, He knows i won't hurt you, what more does he want?"
"A non alien son in law"
"Come on, it's never bothered you has it?"
"Never, i actually miss you, and Goten, and ChiChi, and Goku, and Trunks and Bulma and even Vegeta and Roshi" Videl said sadly, he wrapped an arma round her waist and pulled her close. She didn't hesitate, she missed the feeling he gave her, he made her feel so safe. She turned around and stood on her toes, as he bent down to kiss her ever so tenderly. It had a desire she'd never felt before.
It lasted for a few minutes. When they broke apart, Videl was gasping for air, Unlike Gohan she didn't have Saiyan lungs. She smiled.
"I missed that" she whispered
"Me too" Gohan whispered back still holding onto her hands, his hands were now laced with hers.
"Me too, I'm gonna go get changed into something for school, I'll be right back" She smirked seductively as she walked away and dropped his hands.
HE smiled. She was beggining to lighten up a bit. However he knew she was hiding something from him. He wasn't that stupid not to notice the cuts on her writs and arms, and he seen her without her top on, she had about 4 cuts on her stomache, and they weren't by accident. Madison walked out wearing a blue mini skirt, with a white tank top.
"What do you think?" Madison asked
"Uh...sure...whatever" Gohan answered as Ben walked into the room.
"Hey Ben?" Gohan said waving
Ben smiled. "Hey, Madison Hercule wants you and Videl downstairs"
"Ok" Madison answered walking downstairs.
20 minutes later
"VIDEL I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU, NO BOYS IN YOUR ROOM" Hercule snapped, Videl clipped her hair back, and pulled it into a small ponytail.
"DADDY, IT'S ONLY GOHAN, I WISH YOU WOULD JUST GET OVER IT" Videl snapped back, Gohan sat in the middle with his head in his hands.
"HE'S AN ALIEN"
"HE'S A REGULAR PERSON LIKE YOU AND ME, EXCEPT HE EATS VAST AMOUNTS AND IS A LOT MORE STRONGER THEN YOU"
"I TOLD YOU YOUR NOT TO GO NEAR HIM AGAIN,"
"DAD, DID YOU NOT READ THAT LETTER FROM CHICHI, WE LIKE EACH OTHER ALOT, HE WON'T HURT ME, HE'LL PROTECT ME, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HE MAKES ME HAPPY" Videl again was on the verge of breaking down and crying again like the dinner on the weekend.
"But Sugar Plum?"
"He makes me Happy, thats all i care about, can't you see that?" Videl was now begging, Madison was in the next room with Ben, not wanting to hear the argument.
"Sugar Plum, your too young to know...?"
"Oh we've been through this" Videl said walked over to Gohan she placed an arm around his waist and smiled up at him. "Daddy, we've been apart for going on 3 days now, enough is enough, i miss him, he's misses me, we've both been miserable, i can make you a promise"
Hercule sighed. She had inherited the stubborness from her mother. This was exactly how Panna was. It was strange, that for someone who wasn't there for 1/4 of her life, she took most after her. "Yes..?" He was giving up his defences and he knew it.
"Daddy, just because we're dating, does not mean im not your little girl, nothing will happen until we're old enough, and when we engage in sexual activities, protection is always used and i promise you, that we won't go further in our relationship then we already have until im 18 years old"
He sighed again. His duaghter was responsible. But it wasn't the fact he didn't trust her, he didn't trust Gohan. Despite the fact that he helped save the world from Buu and also saved the world from Cell.
"I give up" he whispered
"Dad, i don't believe you...how could...what?" Videl asked after realising what he had said She did a double check. "what'd you say?"
"I give up" Hercule repeated "Your right, ChiChi's right, I am being to protective of you, it's just that ever since your mother died, i felt like a part of me was lost, and i didn't want that to happen to you"
"Daddy, i understand and i thank you for doing that, but i was miserable up until i met Gohan, he went through the same thing and he understands how i feel, it helps me out" Videl explained, "And he doesn't want to be a threat, You two have something in comman"
"I know" Hercule answered as he faced Gohan. He clenched his fist."YOU YOUNG MAN"
"Yes, Sir?" Gohan asked politely
"IF SHE AS SO MUCH CRIES ONE TEAR, I WILL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF, IF SHE IS HURT IN ANYWAY, I'LL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF, IF YOU EVEN TRY AND GET HER PREGNANT I WILL CUT YOUR MANHOOD OFF AND IT WON'T BE FUNNY" Hercule snapped
Gohan shivered for some reason he felt scared. Maybe because he knew he would do it. This is what scared him. He looked down at Videl who had grabbed Hercule's hand and held it infront fo Gohan's she then grabbed his and made them shake hands.
"Deal?" she asked
"Deal" the two men replied shaking the others hand. She smiled as Gohan's grip on her waist tightened.
"We've gotta get to school" Videl smiled, she kissed her fathers cheek. "Love you Daddy"
"Love you too Sweet Pea" Hercule answered as she and Gohan joined Madison and Ben in the living room. Ben smiled.
"Is this the boyfriend you were talking about?" Ben asked casually
Just then Madison's jaw dropped open. 'Who care's i can still get him' Madison thought to herself with an evil smirk.
That afternoon, after school Sharpner, Lime, Marker, Ben and Jackson had met outside of Gohan's house smiling. They had all been surprised when they'd found out that Hercule had actually accepted Gohan 'again' into the family. They were happy, and also excited as the dance was going on in two days and what Gohan had prepared was going to happen, even though he got the girl.
It was going to be a surprise for Videl in the first place and he wanted to keep it that way. Lime was on the entertainment list and the senior classes had voted that she should be the singer and take requests it was perfect for Gohan.
Lime handed each of the people in the room a booklet. Every except Ben. Gohan had said he'd look after Ben for the afternoon while Madison and Videl went shopping for their oufit for the dance. Eraser was with them.
"Ok, inside here is a list of songs you must have learnt by tommorow night" Lime instructed, she looked at Gohan."Now Gohan,you will be singing song number 2 with me"
"Me, but i can't sing..." Gohan said blushing
"I heard you in the shower sweetie, im sorry but tough luck" Lime answered as Jackson himself began to laugh, "Very Funny you've got one too"
It wasn't so funny now. Jackson smirked.'I'd much rather be training you know' he thought to himself.
Gohan decided to break up for the afternoon. "Uh GOTEN" he shouted, lucky for him Goten was outside and heard hsi call and began to float up to the window.
"Yes Big Brother?" Goten squealed
"Wanna Train?"
"Yeh"
"Can i train with you?"Jackson asked confidently
"Uh, sure why not" Gohan said happily, he climbed out the window. "You know how to show yourself out, i'll catch ya later" and with that he flew off.
"WOW" Sharpner said
"Yeah" Ben answered
Jackson helped himself out of the window and began to float. Ben was shocked. He held out his hand to Ben. "Come on"
1 hour later
Goten and Trunks flew back happily into Gohan's room via the window. Unfortunatly what they weren't counting on was their being instruments everywhere. And when they landed they smashed into the isntruments.
Goten ducked. "No, Gohan will kill us"
"Got that right" Trunks answered "Lets scat"

ChiChi turned around in the kitchen to find Videl. She beamed she hadn't seen the girl since the dinner with her father. She smiled.
"Why hello dear, how are you?" ChiChi said calmly
"You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you?" Videl asked holding up the letter she read in the kitchen.
"Um, why would you ask that?" ChiChi asked nervously
"Because it says from ChiChi, and it's in your handwriting" Videl pointed out, at the moment ChiCh was blushing.

"OH, that's my daughter in law"
Videl phone rang at that moment, she picked it up. She sighed as she realised who was on the phone.
"OH MY LOVELY SWEET PEA WHERE ARE YOU I WAS SO WORRIED" Hercule said through the phone
"Daddy?" Videl whispered
"WHERE ARE YOU, YOUR AT THAT ALIENS HOUSE ARN'T YOU" Hercule shouted
"Uh, yes" Videl confessed "I had to see ChiChi about something, I'll be home in a minute"
"OK Sugar Plum I'm counting"
"Bye Daddy" Videl answered putting the phone in her pocket. She looked at ChiChi, then to Ben. "I've gotta go you know how my father is"
Gohan nodded his understanding. Goten was another story. He quickly latched himself onto Videl's leg. Gohan pulled him off.

"Not really, he doesn't even know your here does he?" Videl laughed
He nodded. "Like I'm going to put myself through that, He knows i won't hurt you, what more does he want?"
"A non alien son in law"
"Come on, it's never bothered you has it?"
"Never, i actually miss you, and Goten, and ChiChi, and Goku, and Trunks and Bulma and even Vegeta and Roshi" Videl said sadly, he wrapped an arma round her waist and pulled her close. She didn't hesitate, she missed the feeling he gave her, he made her feel so safe. She turned around and stood on her toes, as he bent down to kiss her ever so tenderly. It had a desire she'd never felt before.
It lasted for a few minutes. When they broke apart, Videl was gasping for air, Unlike Gohan she didn't have Saiyan lungs. She smiled.
"I missed that" she whispered
"Me too" Gohan whispered back still holding onto her hands, his hands were now laced with hers.
"Me too, I'm gonna go get changed into something for school, I'll be right back" She smirked seductively as she walked away and dropped his hands.
HE smiled. She was beggining to lighten up a bit. However he knew she was hiding something from him. He wasn't that stupid not to notice the cuts on her writs and arms, and he seen her without her top on, she had about 4 cuts on her stomache, and they weren't by accident. Madison walked out wearing a blue mini skirt, with a white tank top.
"What do you think?" Madison asked
"Uh...sure...whatever" Gohan answered as Ben walked into the room.
"Hey Ben?" Gohan said waving
Ben smiled. "Hey, Madison Hercule wants you and Videl downstairs"
"Ok" Madison answered walking downstairs.
20 minutes later
"VIDEL I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU, NO BOYS IN YOUR ROOM" Hercule snapped, Videl clipped her hair back, and pulled it into a small ponytail.
"DADDY, IT'S ONLY GOHAN, I WISH YOU WOULD JUST GET OVER IT" Videl snapped back, Gohan sat in the middle with his head in his hands.
"HE'S AN ALIEN"
"HE'S A REGULAR PERSON LIKE YOU AND ME, EXCEPT HE EATS VAST AMOUNTS AND IS A LOT MORE STRONGER THEN YOU"
"I TOLD YOU YOUR NOT TO GO NEAR HIM AGAIN,"
"DAD, DID YOU NOT READ THAT LETTER FROM CHICHI, WE LIKE EACH OTHER ALOT, HE WON'T HURT ME, HE'LL PROTECT ME, CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HE MAKES ME HAPPY" Videl again was on the verge of breaking down and crying again like the dinner on the weekend.
"But Sugar Plum?"
"He makes me Happy, thats all i care about, can't you see that?" Videl was now begging, Madison was in the next room with Ben, not wanting to hear the argument.
"Sugar Plum, your too young to know...?"
"Oh we've been through this" Videl said walked over to Gohan she placed an arm around his waist and smiled up at him. "Daddy, we've been apart for going on 3 days now, enough is enough, i miss him, he's misses me, we've both been miserable, i can make you a promise"
Hercule sighed. She had inherited the stubborness from her mother. This was exactly how Panna was. It was strange, that for someone who wasn't there for 1/4 of her life, she took most after her. "Yes..?" He was giving up his defences and he knew it.
"Daddy, just because we're dating, does not mean im not your little girl, nothing will happen until we're old enough, and when we engage in sexual activities, protection is always used and i promise you, that we won't go further in our relationship then we already have until im 18 years old"
He sighed again. His duaghter was responsible. But it wasn't the fact he didn't trust her, he didn't trust Gohan. Despite the fact that he helped save the world from Buu and also saved the world from Cell.
"I give up" he whispered
"Dad, i don't believe you...how could...what?" Videl asked after realising what he had said She did a double check. "what'd you say?"
"I give up" Hercule repeated "Your right, ChiChi's right, I am being to protective of you, it's just that ever since your mother died, i felt like a part of me was lost, and i didn't want that to happen to you"
"Daddy, i understand and i thank you for doing that, but i was miserable up until i met Gohan, he went through the same thing and he understands how i feel, it helps me out" Videl explained, "And he doesn't want to be a threat, You two have something in comman"
"I know" Hercule answered as he faced Gohan. He clenched his fist."YOU YOUNG MAN"
"Yes, Sir?" Gohan asked politely
"IF SHE AS SO MUCH CRIES ONE TEAR, I WILL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF, IF SHE IS HURT IN ANYWAY, I'LL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF, IF YOU EVEN TRY AND GET HER PREGNANT I WILL CUT YOUR MANHOOD OFF AND IT WON'T BE FUNNY" Hercule snapped
Gohan shivered for some reason he felt scared. Maybe because he knew he would do it. This is what scared him. He looked down at Videl who had grabbed Hercule's hand and held it infront fo Gohan's she then grabbed his and made them shake hands.
"Deal?" she asked
"Deal" the two men replied shaking the others hand. She smiled as Gohan's grip on her waist tightened.
"We've gotta get to school" Videl smiled, she kissed her fathers cheek. "Love you Daddy"
"Love you too Sweet Pea" Hercule answered as she and Gohan joined Madison and Ben in the living room. Ben smiled.
"Is this the boyfriend you were talking about?" Ben asked casually
Just then Madison's jaw dropped open. 'Who care's i can still get him' Madison thought to herself with an evil smirk.
That afternoon, after school Sharpner, Lime, Marker, Ben and Jackson had met outside of Gohan's house smiling. They had all been surprised when they'd found out that Hercule had actually accepted Gohan 'again' into the family. They were happy, and also excited as the dance was going on in two days and what Gohan had prepared was going to happen, even though he got the girl.
It was going to be a surprise for Videl in the first place and he wanted to keep it that way. Lime was on the entertainment list and the senior classes had voted that she should be the singer and take requests it was perfect for Gohan.
Lime handed each of the people in the room a booklet. Every except Ben. Gohan had said he'd look after Ben for the afternoon while Madison and Videl went shopping for their oufit for the dance. Eraser was with them.
"Ok, inside here is a list of songs you must have learnt by tommorow night" Lime instructed, she looked at Gohan."Now Gohan,you will be singing song number 2 with me"
"Me, but i can't sing..." Gohan said blushing
"I heard you in the shower sweetie, im sorry but tough luck" Lime answered as Jackson himself began to laugh, "Very Funny you've got one too"
It wasn't so funny now. Jackson smirked.'I'd much rather be training you know' he thought to himself.
Gohan decided to break up for the afternoon. "Uh GOTEN" he shouted, lucky for him Goten was outside and heard hsi call and began to float up to the window.
"Yes Big Brother?" Goten squealed
"Wanna Train?"
"Yeh"
"Can i train with you?"Jackson asked confidently
"Uh, sure why not" Gohan said happily, he climbed out the window. "You know how to show yourself out, i'll catch ya later" and with that he flew off.
"WOW" Sharpner said
"Yeah" Ben answered
Jackson helped himself out of the window and began to float. Ben was shocked. He held out his hand to Ben. "Come on"
1 hour later
Goten and Trunks flew back happily into Gohan's room via the window. Unfortunatly what they weren't counting on was their being instruments everywhere. And when they landed they smashed into the isntruments.
Goten ducked. "No, Gohan will kill us"
"Got that right" Trunks answered "Lets scat"

Also the part that i used from the review that V son saiyan is :
Sometimes people seem cheerful, but in reality, thier reality it's all fake. what souls have we lost for petty reasons, what divides us? sometimes the only answer is phony pride. what they think is against their code becomes wrong, when it's really alright. No matter what it is or how special an' priceless it is It's true really it is.
