Hi! I know this took longer than it was supposed to but I was sick for a week and then I just had so much make-up work for school. So I am really sorry. To make up for the lateness I am making this chapter extra long. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ.
Thanks to:
Cathowl: Hehe, Trunks is just so bad. I would punish him but then I would feel too guilty. lol. Glad you liked it!
Anime-fan Meepa: If you like the long chapters then you'll like this one (hopefully), cause it's pretty long. Well for e anyway. ^-^ Thanks!!!!
Chibi Dragon: I am gonna try to do longer chapters, but they may be out a day later than usual. I usually try to get them up by Monday. It just depends how long they take me.
Silver Angel: I am so happy you liked it! I am not sure how much the timeline will change. We'll both just have to see. I'm just sort of making a lot up as I go. ^-^
Majunior7: Sorry I killed off the rest of the people (Ok so some weren't human), but I really didn't have any use for them and Yamcha would have probably ended up doing something that would keep Bulma and Vegita apart. I needed Piccolo to be killed so that they would have a reason to go to Namek. I am sorry for doing what I did. Thanks for reviewing and telling me what you thought.
Britt: Thanks so much! I think that they are gonna end up in the future. Hmm? Maybe I should let Sharpner 'accidentally' get eaten or something. Lol. They could always wish him back with the dragonballs. Oh, and I'm sorry. I feel like I haven't done too much torture to Sharpner. If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks, Cya!
Peter Kim: I was planning on having Trunks and Goten come along, whether on purpose or not. You know what? I think the other may need a little help with the Ginyu Force and the others after all. Good idea. We'll have to see what happens. Thanks for reviewing and I am happy you like my little story.
..............aka bob: Thank you! I am so happy you like it!!
Misstress Frostic: I think I like it longer too. Thanks so much! I am glad you like it.
ON TO THE CHAPTER!!! *poses like an idiot*
~*~
From the battle field they headed strait for the hospital. Goku's arm was hurt and might be broken. He probably would have been fine if he just went home, but ChiChi, being the kind and caring wife she was, saw it as a life or death situation. So now they were on their way to the hospital to get that arm looked at.
"So, Gohan," Krillin asked as both Gohans looked up. He looked at them and then pointed his finger to the older boy and continued, "How did that battle turn out in your time?"
Gohan gave it a thought and answered, "Well the battle was pretty different, but it had the same outcome, give or take a few injuries."
"Guys get ready, we're about to land!" Bulma called from the driver's seat.
True to her word they landed about a minute later. (Wow that didn't take long to get there) They landed on the roof and all got out. They went through two doors that lead to a stairway and then to the top floor, which had an emergency room for those who came by copter. As they walked down the hall to the Emergency wing, Gohan noticed Erasa start to walk a different way.
"Umm, Erasa where are you going? We're going this way." Gohan pointed toward the direction they were heading.
"Oh, I just saw the cutest doctor I have ever seen and I want to find out his name. I'll ketch up with you guys later, okay?" Erasa answered as she took off after the poor doctor.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea! Now, why didn't I come up with that? I bet there are some hot looking nurses around here. See ya!" Sharpner called as he ran off.
"Wow, what a dedicated 'boyfriend' I have" Videl said sarcastically as she came up behind Gohan.
Gohan chuckled and looked back at her. "Well I say good riddance"
They looked back to find their group up ahead and hurried to ketch up with them.
Soon they all arrived at the Emergency room. To everyone's surprise the waiting room wasn't full as they usually are. In fact it was quite empty. All they had to do was fill out a form and wait for the doctor to be finished with a patient who cut her finger and needed stitches.
"Son Goku?" Dr. Watson called and ChiChi got up with her husband and followed the doctor.
"Well I'm going up to the roof to wait and maybe think about a few things." Gohan got up and headed back for the door they had just came in not even two minutes ago. Videl got up and followed. Goten, Trunks, and Gohan looked up from the TV they were watching. Finding nothing to their interest they returned to their show. Bulma and the rest watched them leave before starting occupying themselves with a conversation.
"Hey, wait up! I'm coming too!" She called and caught up with Gohan.
They walked down the hall and up the stairs in complete in silence. Gohan opened the door for Videl like the gentlemen he was. They walked over to the edge of the roof and leaned over the side, just taking in the sight of the city. Down below they could hear the sounds of the cars going buy and a horn beeping in the distance. They also heard a few police sirens coming from not too far away. Videl gave a little laugh.
"If we were back in our time we would be helping them, you know?" She said.
Gohan gave a little chuckle a well and nodded in agreement. "Yeah"
"Gohan" Videl said as she turned toward Gohan, "I'm sorry"
"Videl?" Gohan asked, confused, "What for? You didn't do anything."
"I mean about before, when you saved me. You saved my life and I yelled at you. I shouldn't have gotten so mad…I shouldn't have gotten mad at all. I'm sorry." Videl looked down apologetically for a moment before looking into his onyx eyes, seeking forgiveness.
"Videl, you don't need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, really!" Gohan said. "It's ok"
Videl smiled at him and got a little closer before finally closing the distance between them. Gohan was caught off guard and just before he was going to kiss back she pulled back and looked him in the eyes again.
"I-I'm sorry." She apologized, again, before turning around and heading back toward the door.
"Videl, wait!" Gohan called.
She turned around as Gohan started walking toward her. He gazed into her eyes, lifted her chin with his finger, and kissed her. Though, surprised by the move, she kissed back. Suddenly the door behind them opened up and they quickly broke apart, blushing like mad. Luckily Bulma was the first one out and was too caught up in a conversation with ChiChi to notice. (Wow ChiChi didn't notice! lol)
"Yeah we plan on having the release date sometime in March. It's one of Capsule Corporation's greatest inventions." Bulma finished up her conversation before taking notice of the two teens. "Oh hey guys, ready to go?"
Gohan and Videl both blushed before nodding their response. Gohan looked over at his mom and dad.
"So how did it go?" he asked, eyeing his father's cast.
"As it turns out Goku had two fractures." ChiChi stated rather matter-of-factly.
They all got back into the plane, took there seats, and got ready for take off.
"So, what did you two do up here?" Bulma asked curiously.
Gohan and Videl blushed, again, and Gohan answered. "Umm…we just talked about the thin that have been happening" Well he didn't lie. They did talk about the dinosaur incident and that was something that had happened.
"Videl!" Erasa whined from the seat behind her. "Aren't' you going to asked me about that doctor?"
Videl sighed, "What happened?"
"Well," said Erasa "His name is Dr. Josh Ramen and is a surgeon. And as it turns out he is married, has two kids and a girlfriend and isn't looking for another at the moment." She sighed. "It just wasn't meant to be."
Videl just rolled her eyes at her friend and said sarcastically, "Sorry, I guess not"
"Well I didn't do any better. At least you got a name. All I got was 'sorry, I'm taken', 'I'm not looking right now' and 'my hummingbird has fleas, so I can't.'" Sharpner said.
Again Videl rolled her eyes and said, "Sorry"
"So guys," Goku said, "what do we do now? Now that Piccolo is gone so are the dragonballs."
"Dragonballs? What are those" asked Sharpner.
"They are these seven…" Goku started to explain when he was interrupted by Gohan.
"Huh…they're just collectables." He stated.
Satisfied in his answer Sharpner turned away and started to chat with Erasa about who knows what.
"Well anyway, what are we going to do?" asked Goku, again.
"We'll have to go to Namek to get the Namekian dragonballs." Gohan explained.
"Hey!" Chibi Gohan said, "Isn't that where they said Piccolo is from?"
"Yeah you're right, but…how do we get there?" asked Krillin.
"Hey two saiya-jins came right? Only one left right?" Bulma asked as everyone nodded a yes. "Well then there should still be a working ship. We could use that."
"But Bulma that only carries one person and we need it to carry more. I know of a ship that can do that. We just need to pay a visit to Mr. Popo. He knows where it is and how to work it." Gohan said, knowing they weren't supposed to take the saiya-jin space pod.
Bulma nodded her yes as they came upon Capsule Corp. They landed out back and everyone got out.
"Hey Bulma, I thinks we should go visit Mr. Popo now so we came prepare the ship tonight and maybe leave sometime tomorrow." Gohan suggested.
"Good idea!" Bulma agreed.
"But my arm won't be better by tomorrow! ChiChi won't let me go if it's not!" complained Goku.
"Don't worry." Bulma said. "My dad can make you a ship and you can meet us there"
Gohan sighed, relived he wouldn't have to suggest that himself. He didn't want to tell them what they should do unless he had to. He wanted to leave it up to them to keep thing pretty much the same as they are in his time.
"Hey, Goten, Trunks!" Gohan called as he saw the two heading inside. "Not another word to anyone, do you hear? If you do I will let Vegita have you when we get back home. I'm sure he isn't too pleased with you two."
"You mean if we get home?" asked Trunks.
"No," Gohan answered, "I mean when. I already figured out how to get back."
"And that is…?" asked Trunks.
"Well, after summoning Porunga, only two wishes were used. Guru died before the third wish could be made. If we make the wish before he dies, then we can wish to go back to the future." Gohan explained.
"You mean we're going to Namek!" Trunks asked starting to get excited.
"Yay! I've never been to another planet before! This will be so cool!" Goten was equally excited, maybe even a little more.
"No…I will be going to Namek. You two have caused enough trouble. You will stay here. I bet they have video games and stuff to keep you occupied." Gohan said.
"But…" the two chibis said in unison.
"No buts, no complaints." Gohan said.
Gohan walked away and over to Bulma. He picked her up and lifted of the ground. He looked back at the two chibis and then at Videl, who was just coming out of the Capsule Corporation building. He smiled back at her before looking back over to the two chibis.
"Remember you two, no trouble! I'll be back later!" he then took off.
It would take about twenty minutes to get up to the Look Out. Gohan could have gone faster if he had wanted to, but didn't want to frighten Bulma too much. After all, she wasn't use t flying. After a few moments of flying, Bulma had decided to start a conversation.
"You like her don't you?"
"What? Who?" Gohan asked.
"Oh, I think you know who." Bulma said back.
"Umm…Videl?"
"Yes, Videl. It's quite obvious. The way you look at her, the way both of your eyes sparkle when they meet, and you just act differently around her." Bulma explain. "You like her, huh? Don't deny it."
Gohan blushed. "Y-yeah, I do. A lot." He admitted.
"You two weren't just talking up on the roof earlier, either."
Gohan looked at her, surprise written all over his face. "You saw us?"
Bulma looked at him with a smile her face. "No I didn't see. I was guessing and partially teasing you. So what did I not see?"
Gohan blushed, again. "N-nothing. We didn't do anything."
"You're lying right through your teeth young man! You kissed her, didn't you?" Bulma guessed. Again Gohan blushed. Giving her all she needed to know she guessed right. She nodded her victory. "I knew it. You can't keep anything from me and for now on I pay attention when I walk through a door."
Before long, they came upon the Look Out. They landed on top to find Mr. Popo watering the flowers and the rest of the plants that grew atop the Look Out. Mr. Popo stopped and came up to the two.
"Yes, how may I help you?" Mr. Popo asked.
"Mr. Popo, I know that Kami had a ship that he came here in and that you know its whereabouts and how it functions. We need to use that ship to get to Namek and use the dragonballs so we can wish everyone back. So if you could please show us where the ship is and how to use it, we would be very grateful." Gohan explained their current predicament and asked permission.
"Of course. I would be happy to do the for you. Please…follow me." Mr. Popo got on his magic carpet and started toward the ship.
~Later~
A few hours later Gohan and Bulma returned to Capsule Corp. to find Videl outside waiting for them.
"I'll leave you two out here to talk about things, okay?" Bulma said, going inside, leaving the two teens by themselves.
"So, how did it go?" Videl asked.
"Great. Tomorrow morning we pack the ship with everything we need and then we leave that evening. So where are Sharpner and Erasa?" Gohan asked
"Well…Erasa, last time I checked was crying her eyes out over a show. As it seems, Adam is breaking up with Alice and Brad just confessed his love for Melissa, who is dying of some unknown disease. At least that is what Erasa told me." Videl told him.
"And Sharpner?" he asked.
"I slipped a few sleeping pills into his drink and now he is out cold at the kitchen table." Explained Videl. "Well it's been a long day and I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Wake me up when you get up, okay?"
"Okay Videl." Videl gave him a smile before she turned around and started back inside. "Videl?"
Videl turned around to look at him. "Yes?"
"Umm…never mind."
Videl nodded to him, "Good night Gohan"
"Night." Gohan called back as he watched her retreating form head into the house. He soon followed.
~Morning~
As sunlight poured into the room as Gohan opened his eyes. He looked around the room, remembering the events of the day before. He slowly got up, walked over to the bathroom that was in his room and started the shower. He took off the pajamas that Bulma had lent him and stepped into the warm water. After his shower, now fully awake, he got into a clean pair of clothes. He had to borrow a gi from his father, which was also orange and blue. Gohan stepped out into the hallway and walked down a bit till he was standing in front of a door. Raising his hand, he slowly and quietly tapped on the door. After hearing a quiet "come in" he opened the door to find Videl already showered and dressed. She was wearing a pair of shorts and a small shirt; well small for her anyway, that Bulma had given her to wear.
"You look nice Videl." Gohan complimented walking toward her till he was only about a foot away.
"I could say the same about you." Videl looked up at him, took a step forward, gave him a quick kiss, and stepped back again. She looked at him and blushed. Gohan started into her eyes and gave her smile before bushing at her. Just before he was to give her a kiss back, he heard someone at the door. They turned around to find Erasa standing at the door.
"Hi guys, you're finally up, huh?" Erasa greeted them and they nodded. "I have been up and dressed for an hour. In fact I already ate. So why are you in Videl's room so early in the morning, Gohan? Is there something I should know?"
Gohan held is hands up in defense, "No it's not like that! Videl asked me to come get her when I woke up and when I knocked on her door she was already up and ready to go."
"Go where? Where are we going?" Erasa asked curiously.
"Umm…It was just an expression." Gohan explained.
"Where's Sharpner?" Videl asked, wondering if he too was up.
"I'm right here" Sharpner said groggily as he came up to the door way next to Erasa. He rubbed his back before peaking again, "Boy my back hurts! *yawn* When I woke up this morning I was at the kitchen table. I don't even remember going to bed last night."
The other three teens looked at each other, hiding a smile, knowing full well why he woke up at the table.
"I must have been sleep walking again. You know, one time, I think it was last week or it could have been last year…" Sharpner said, looking as if he were in deep thought, "Well, anyway, I woke up on a boat, with a ticket in my hand. The ticket said I was heading for the United States. I even had a passport in hand, which I don't even know where that came from." As Sharpner finished his little story, he turned around and head out of the room. "I wonder how I paid for all that?" he said to himself and wondered off. What was his destination? Not even he knew.
Gohan and Videl exchanged glances. They where starting to get worried about their friend.
"Poor guy. I know just how he feels. It's not fun to blow a lot of money while you're asleep." Erasa said, completely missing the point.
"Well, I think we should go get the ship ready to leave." Gohan said as he started out the door.
"Where are we going?" Erasa asked.
"I am going to get us back home. You guys will stay here." Gohan said.
"Hold up, when you say you guys, you do mean you them" Videl said pointing to Erasa, "and Goten and Trunks, right?...Right?"
"Well I meant you also."
"No, I don't think you did…right?"
Gohan looked at Videl. Boy, he hated it when she gave him that glare. All he had to do was say 'No I meant you too'. That shouldn't be too hard, should it?
"R-right." He failed. It was too hard.
"Good"
The two left the room before Erasa could ask any questions. They pack capsules full of a lot of food, clothing, and everything else needed. That took a while, considering all the food they needed to gather and how much Bulma wanted to take along with them. After that all they had to do was to wait for Krillin to arrive. That didn't take long. He came with food, clothes, and anything else he might have wanted to bring with them. Soon they were all off. Krillin, Videl, Chibi Gohan and Gohan all flew. Gohan had to carry Bulma to the place where the ship was located. Bulma would have taken her capsule jet, but Gohan wouldn't let her, saying this would be much faster. As soon as they landed, they loaded up the ship with al their supplies. Before long, they were off, with Bulma at the controls, Krillin and Chibi Gohan sat in the seats, while Gohan stood, being able to keep his balance during take offs and landings, while he held on to Videl to make sure nothing happened to her.

Don't fret guys! Goten and Trunks are not out of the picture. Neither are Sharpner and Erasa. Can you guys maybe tell me thing I should do out while they are out in space? Don't worry they won't be there long. Can someone tell me stuff that happened, though? I haven't seen these episodes. All I know is a few things happened or maybe I'm wrong. Well please let me know. Thanks! Don't forget to review!!!
Cya!!!
