Enjoy
Bulmaspoisonousfood i really didn't want to kill him off, but i based most of this chapter on a friend of mine who recently lost a friend who too hung himself. And since it was recent and Ben was based on him too so it's kinda like a tribute, but don't worry Ben will feature in the Sequel to both Walk me Home and Startin Out On a Journey. And your right Jackson is awesome, wait til you see whats in store for him in upcoming chapters. And also in reply to your 'I can't believe Videl said no to Gohan' you know what happens in the sequel, which by the way i have almost reached half rewritting, so far about 10 chapters are done.
V Son Saiyan I'm glad your touched but i read over it a number of times it is good writing, you seem to have pure talent keep it up, It was actually inspired me to do a small heart to heart between Videl and Ben. And if you don't i'll send ChiChi and her frypan of Doom after you. :P Thank you very much. And how are your *DBZ PLUSHIES* going? And also don't worry no need to cry, as there are two sequels to this and because im such a terrific person *cough cough* i feel a Hercule speech coming on, i'd probally write a few one shots to stick in the middle. I'm even thinking of calling the whol lot Family Ties - The series. What do you think. Also i used your writing, again in this chapter, i hope it's alright.
Gohan00 thank you for your comment as this being one of the greatest stories you've read, i appreciate it, do you know what stories i fancy, you should check out The Misadventures of Gohan and Videl, i have been reading it for monthes now and it is such a good storyline and the authors are fantastic.

***************************************************************
Previously on Walk Me Home
The following morning Videl was still up, sitting in the living room on Gohan's lap crying, Hercule was supplying him with Coffee and trying to get his daughter to eat food. Sure she hadn't known him for long, but she was upset, she understood what he was going through and didn't want him to die, he had such a lovely future ahead of him. A future that he would never see, because he took his own life to save others the pain he felt.
* * * *
Gohan rubbed her back soothenly. "It'll be alright you'll see" He said to her. Videl continued to cry. She hadn't cried this much over the death of someone since her mother died. She looked up at him.
"I'm sorry" she sobbed
"What for?"
"For rejecting you" she answered "I shouldn't have hurt your feelings like that"
"Shorty, there's plenty of time for that when your ready, don't beat yourself up over it" Gohan said, "Would Ben want that?"
She wiped away her tears. "NO"
"Cheer up, I know you lost a friend, and it was a horrible way to go, but the pain will go away, you know that"
"But it hurts so much"
"I know, Shorty, I know"Gohan answered reassuringly, This was going to be a long few weeks.
Videl was up in her room, her head on her pillow. She was thinking, she seemed to be doing it alot now. She enjoyed being by herself and didn't want to pressure her friends. She smiled as she thought of Ben, that award winning smile he had. How he could talk to her, it was like they'd known eachother for years.....but now he's gone.
At that moment the door opened and Madison walked in followed by two smaller boys. She sat on the bed next to her cousin. The boys did too. Videl sat up apon noticing the boys, they were infact Goten and Trunks which meant one thing Gohan was here.
"Hi!! I'm sorry that Ben died, but im still here, i'll love you" Goten said throwing his arms around the girls waist and sitting on her lap. She looked down on him and smiled briefly, but it dissapeared as quickly as it had returned.
"Yeah, it's alright" Trunks said smiling at the teenager. She pulled both the boys closer and hugged them.
"Thank-you" she whispered, 'Such cute kids, caring too, I wish Gohan was up here though' she thought.
AS if on cue Gohan opened the door and walked in. Videl's hair was down today, and she had her Pajama's still on. Yes she had taken the Saiyaman Pajama's out of the box she packed them in. Videl looked up at him and patted the bed next to her. He happily sat there, but when he did he pulled her away from the boys and Madison and he sat her on his lap whilst massaging her shoulders and back.
'Is there anything this boy won't do'she thought to herself
"Yeah, i won't spar with Vegeta" Gohan said laughing. IT was then he'd just realised something. Vegeta had been talking to him about a bond forming and that it involved talking telepathically, but he just thought he losing it, but now that he noticed it more he himself actually felt it forming.
"Why'd you say that Gohan?"Trunks asked smiling
"Videl just said is there anything i won't do and...she didn't say anything did she?" Gohan asked
The two chibi's and Madison nodded. He just looked thoughtful as he took in this information.They had begun to form their telepathic link. This was amazing. He couldn't believe it. Up until now he would never have guessed it,l but it's true for monthes they had been answering eachothers thoughts, and a pity Videl didn't understand it either.
"Videl your tense," he said as he massaged her lower back now.
"You think, Life hasn't exactly been peaceful now" Videl said dryly, Madison smiled. "What are you smiling about?"
"Oh nothing just thinking of a little girl named Videl Satan who said she'd never ever love any other person again, the girl who said if a guy touched her she would break their nsoe and give them something to scream about" Madison giggled as she looked at her watch. "Shoot, Eraser and I are going shopping are you sure you don't wanna come with?" Videl nodded.
"Have fun" Gohan said
"I will, take care of her Gohan" Madison winked as she ran out the door, Videl leaned into him causing him to wrap his arms around her.
"Gohan?"
"Yeh Shorty?"
"Don't ever leave me"
"I never will...not intentionly anyway" she smiled at him, that was the most she could expect from him. From what she'd heard Goku had died more then twice, and ChiChi had recalled her experiances with her, and told her how hard it was. But if ChiChi could cope, then so could she. Gohan looked at her and tightened the embrace he had of her. "I'll always find my way back to you"
"Alright, enough mushy stuff" Trunks said putting his hands on his hips. "Mom said you have to drop us at Capsule Corporation at ten"
Gohan looked down on his watch.'Damn, it's 10:30 Bulma's going to kill me' he thought Videl looked up to him and nodded, understanding that he had to go, she stood up.
"Do we have too?" Goten asked
"Afraid so, come on squirts" Gohan sighed looking at the girl who was smiling. She led them onto her balcony. Goten and Trunks immediatly leapt into the air and flew off a bit to give the couple a private moment. Videl hugged him.
"I'll see you tommorow ok Shorty"
"No"
"Why not?"
"I'm not going"
Gohan stared, tommorow was Ben's funeral, and the reporters, police and Ben's living relatives were going to be there and were expecting to talk to Videl. "But Vi?"
"NO!!" she hissed "I can't stand being there and knowing that it's my fault he took his life, please don't make me go"
Gohan looked down at the ground, then at her. He knew there was no way in hell he could change her mind she was just as stubborn as his mother was. He kissed her deeply.
"You Win, im still going to go though, so i'll see you after the reception" Gohan answered, she nodded. "He would've really wanted you there, but it's your decision"
"Thank-you for understanding" she whispered as he too leapt in the air and flew off.
The following morning in a local church people from all over Satan City came by to wish the grieving family of Ben's their condolences.Among these people were Goten, Trunks and Gohan. ChiChi had dragged Goku into it as had Bulma dragged Vegeta in. Dressed in black they found their seats. Sitting down and hating the enviroment our Saiyan's bared it.
"Gohan where do people go when they die? Do they go to the other world like Dad?" Goten asked
"Yes Goten" Gohan answered
"Oh Cool, i wanna go there when i die" Goten said happily
20 minutes into the service and The Son's and Briefs looked bored. The priest had just finished talking about how Ben died, when he paused as one of the nuns walked slowly up to him and whispered in his ear. He smiled and then looked towards the audience.
"Sister has just informed me that a friend of Ben's would like to speak, would you please Welcome Miss Videl Satan" the priest said shivering as he said her last name. Gohan's head pricked up apon hearing her name. He nearly fainted when he saw her in a lovely black pair of pants and top.
"Hello, you all may know me as Videl, daughter of the world Champion" she said confidently "But i was a friend to Ben when he needed it"
The church was quiet as she continued.
"I am a friend, but yet it was because of me that he did what he did. I first met Ben when i was called into a Domestic Disturbance, and offered to take him in when both his mother and sister were shot dead, he is like me, finds joy in pain. I took a knife of him which he used to inflict pain on himself. A week ago, that knife slipped out my bag and sliced my arm, that was the last time i saw him, previously before that he had talked to me about what he wanted to do in the future, he wanted to become a martial arts champion, He wanted to meet Saiyaman and Saiyagirl, unfortunatly i wasn't able to fulfill his wish"
By now Gohan looked up at her, she had tears streaming down her face. Her mind trailing back to a conversation she'd had a few days before Ben died.
"Sometimes people seem cheerful, but in reality, their reality is 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 our code becomes wrong, when it's really alright. No matter what it is or how special and priceless it is, i think it's time we realised this, Ben didn't and it cost him his life, don't cry for him, he really didn't want to be in a life full of pain, think happy thoughts, it's what he would've wanted, and ofcourse we'll be together with Ben one day, thank you"
The church clapped even the preists especially Gohan. He thought Videl wasn't coming but she shocked him and turned up with a speech in hand.
After the reception. Gohan flew Videl home, landing on the balcony she led him into the house and downstairs. He smiled as she handed him a drink.
"I'm really proud you came"
"I kinda am too, i would've hated myself for not showing up" Videl confessed taking a sip of her drink. "And as usual you were right"
Gohan laughed as he placed his hand on hers "I'm here for you, if you need to talk"
"I know, thank you" Videl looked at him and realised what a fool she was to reject him, and yet he understood her reasons for doing so. What more could she want. Time? Yes Time to herself. She looked at a letter posted on the refrigerator. "Hmm, our school camps tommorow"
"I know, mom signed me up, i'd end up beating everyone to death"
This made her smile, the fact her dad was running a Martial arts Camp and all the seniors of Orange Star High had decided to go. Oh what fun it would be and so soon as well. "Gohan, are you doing anything tonight ?"
"No why?"
"Will you sleep with me?"
"WHAT!!?" Gohan asked shocked, she glared at him.
"I just don't want to be alone at the moment" she explained, he nodded. Ofcourse he would, he would rather die then see her in pain. "That is unless you have to go home"
"It's alright Shorty, your Dad won't mind will he?"
"No, he and Madison are out at the football match this week remember" Videl said yawning "I'm gonna go to sleep, you coming"
"uh huh" and with that he followed her to her room.
Meanwhile Jackson had his hands raised infront of him, over an Oracle. His eyes closed and breathed slowed down as a ball of Ki appeared in his hands. Smiling he opened his eyes facing the Oracle.
"Show me my future" Jackson asked
"I'm sorry my Prince" The Oracle replied, "But the future is nothing more thne what you know?"
"I KNOW THAT" Jackson snapped, " Where Will i find my father and Mother?"
"That cannot be disclosed, maybe if you look for your older brother you'd find them,"
"but how do i even know if it's the same here, I know i met bulma who had a son named Trunks who looked exactly like.....No" Jackson answered, just then it suddenly hit him.
**********************
Lady Lunic: Now im really sorry this chapter is soooooooo short. I really couldn't think of much to put up with this chapter. What do you think with Jackson? Were you expecting it?Let me know.
Soundtrack:Crawling - Linkin Park, More to life (There's gotta be) -Stacie Orrico, Where is the love? - Black Eyed Peas, Going Under -Evenescence.
Next Chapter: Exactly what conlclusion did Jackson jump to? How was Videl and Gohan's night? Do we care? Ofcourse. How is the first day of camp going to start? Just exactly what do Goten and Trunks have instore for our favourite couple who have been selected as camp leaders for the juniors? Eraser and Sharpner as decided to come along, how will she cope?
P.S: I am currently in search of a timeline from the first Dragon Ball Series, known as Dragon Ball if you can help it would be great, i need it for the upcoming sequel. OH here's a sneek peek by the way:
Pan was flying off away from her home. And it was the middle of the night, her dream still in her mind what did Goku mean.
'Restore all the positive energy into the Dragon Balls' she thought to herself. Suddenly she felt something yank at her bag. She dropped her bag. Gylu popped out, as he did he vanished.
"GYLU" Pan cried
"PAN" Gylu cried vanishing from site.
"But.." Pan whispered as she felt 'someone' push her to the ground. Falling she lost control of her Ki and began dropping. She closed her eyes anticipating for the moment she was hit the ground....... But it never came.
So hows it look so far, to tell you the truth thats taken from the prologue, hope you like it just a little teaser til i upload the next installment of Family Ties. A friend of mine said that it was an evil cliffy, not as evil as some but evil, she reckons that Bulmaspoisonousfood is going to send that dog after me to kill me after.

A note about Marker, i have seen a number of fics who have a character named Marker.

"I know, mom signed me up, i'd end up beating everyone to death"
This made her smile, the fact her dad was running a Martial arts Camp and all the seniors of Orange Star High had decided to go. Oh what fun it would be and so soon as well. "Gohan, are you doing anything tonight ?"
"No why?"
"Will you sleep with me?"
"WHAT!!?" Gohan asked shocked, she glared at him.
"I just don't want to be alone at the moment" she explained, he nodded. Ofcourse he would, he would rather die then see her in pain. "That is unless you have to go home"
"It's alright Shorty, your Dad won't mind will he?"
"No, he and Madison are out at the football match this week remember" Videl said yawning "I'm gonna go to sleep, you coming"
"uh huh" and with that he followed her to her room.
Meanwhile Jackson had his hands raised infront of him, over an Oracle. His eyes closed and breathed slowed down as a ball of Ki appeared in his hands. Smiling he opened his eyes facing the Oracle.
"Show me my future" Jackson asked
"I'm sorry my Prince" The Oracle replied, "But the future is nothing more thne what you know?"
"I KNOW THAT" Jackson snapped, " Where Will i find my father and Mother?"
"That cannot be disclosed, maybe if you look for your older brother you'd find them,"
"but how do i even know if it's the same here, I know i met bulma who had a son named Trunks who looked exactly like.....No" Jackson answered, just then it suddenly hit him.

P.S: I am currently in search of a timeline from the first Dragon Ball Series, known as Dragon Ball if you can help it would be great, i need it for the upcoming sequel. OH here's a sneek peek by the way:
Pan was flying off away from her home. And it was the middle of the night, her dream still in her mind what did Goku mean.
'Restore all the positive energy into the Dragon Balls' she thought to herself. Suddenly she felt something yank at her bag. She dropped her bag. Gylu popped out, as he did he vanished.
"GYLU" Pan cried
"PAN" Gylu cried vanishing from site.
"But.." Pan whispered as she felt 'someone' push her to the ground. Falling she lost control of her Ki and began dropping. She closed her eyes anticipating for the moment she was hit the ground....... But it never came.
So hows it look so far, to tell you the truth thats taken from the prologue, hope you like it just a little teaser til i upload the next installment of Family Ties. A friend of mine said that it was an evil cliffy, not as evil as some but evil, she reckons that Bulmaspoisonousfood is going to send that dog after me to kill me after.
