Part 3: More Then Friendship
Chapter 10: Laughter And Love
Sorry for the delay on this update as well. But, like 'Two Halves of a Soul,' I forgot about writing this one for a while. I hope you like it.
I do not own Dragonball Z.
============================================================================
Gohan's face moves closer to Videl's, causing the girl to blush. She is somewhat disappointed though when he does not kiss her. Instead she can feel his warm breath on her ear and it sends a chill down her spine. "You wanna go for a swim?" He whispers in her ear.
"S-sure." Videl replies while blushing. "We can, I mean you can change in the room over there." She says while pointing to a door.
"Ok."
Videl watches her friend as he walks off to change when a thought invades her mind. 'I GET TO SEE HIM WITHOUT A SHIRT! Oh my god IWHAT THE HELL? I'm starting to act like Erasa damn it.' She thinks while going to change in a different room.
When she comes out of the room a short time later she sees Gohan sitting on the ledge that surrounds the large pond. Videl blushes when she sees Gohan's chiseled form. Each muscle seems to be perfectly sculpted. And when sees that Gohan's eyes are glued on her, Videl's blush deepens. "So ummlet's swim." She says after several seconds of awkward silence before jumping into the pond. Gohan just nods and jumps in after her.

Celina sees and feels her mate's anger towards whatever it is he sees. She can not help but smile at one possible cause of his anger. And, in case it is what she thinks it is, prepares to stop her husband so he will not interrupt the two teens. But when she sees what has angered Hercule she can not help but laugh.
"Boy! What the HELL do you think you're doing!?" Hercule yells at Gohan.
"Huh? W-WOW! AHH!" Gohan cries out when Hercule's yell distracts him, causing him to lose his grip on the support beam for the roof and plummet into the pond below.
Videl looks on in shock at seeing Gohan fall but her expression quickly changes to one of amusement at the look on the demi Saiya-jin's face. When Gohan surfaces a few seconds later, coughing and sputtering, he can hear her giggling.
With his mouth hanging open, Hercule looks at his daughter. He is unable to remember Videl ever giggling over something and here she was doing it over this boy.
Celina smiles at her daughter and Gohan while thinking, 'They are so cute together. And it's nice to see Videl actually acting like a girl for once.' With a sigh she grabs her husband and drags him from the building before he can interrupt the young couple.
"I'm glad you found that funny. I could have been hurt." Gohan grumbles.
"Oh really? A little fall into water like that would hurt the big, strong, cute, hooops." Videl says while blushing.
"I uhhguess that wouldn't hurt me." Gohan replies while scratching his head.
From the look on Gohan's face Videl can tell that he honestly did not realize that little fact until she pointed it out. This realization causes her to laugh uncontrollably.
Gohan stops scratching his head and blinks at her. Slowly, he swims towards her until his face is mere inches from Videl's. As he nears her, her laughter dies until she just looks back. Leaning in even closer Gohan pauses and blushes before smirking. "Let's see how funny you think this is." He whispers to her before dunking her under water.
"WHY YOU!" Videl yells as she comes up sputtering. "I'll make you pay for that!" She adds when Gohan takes off with her in hot pursuit.
Finding the pond much to small, Gohan leaps from it and takes of running down a path cut into the plants.
"GET BACK HERE SON GOHAN!" Videl yells as she runs after him.
"I don't thinkWOW!" Gohan exclaims as he slips and falls on his back.
Before he can get up, Videl jumps on top of him, effectively pinning him to the ground. "Got ya'" She says proudly before she finds herself pinned to the ground.
"No you don't." Gohan whispers in her ear, causing Videl to shiver, before he takes of running again. "You'll never catch me!" He yells before jumping back into the pond and heading to the waterfall, thinking that it will make a good hiding place.
Videl jumps in after him and yells, "Yes I will!"
A smirk appears on Videl face when she sees Gohan swim under the waterfall. 'I've got you now Son Gohan.' She thinks as she swims after him.
Gohan quickly realizes that he made a mistake when he sees that there is no where to run to, and turns around only to be pressed against the back of the small cave by Videl. "Ummhi." Gohan says while smiling at her.
"Hi." Videl replies with a smile. "Looks like you're trapped."
"I uhh" Gohan says before his mind quickly forms a plan. "Don't think so." He adds before grabbing Videl's arms and spinning around so that she is the one pressed up against the rock wall.
"Ugh." Videl swings at him only to have her hand caught by Gohan. The same thing happens to her other hand. "Why can't you let me win?" She asks him.
Gohan looks at her in confusion. "Win what?" He asks innocently.
This causes Videl to glare at him as she struggles to break free. But she only succeeds in getting Gohan's arms wrapped around her to keep her from getting away. As this dawns on the young girl her movements stop and she finds herself looking into Gohan's ebony eyes, her lips moving closer to his.
"You uhh" Gohan says as he slowly leans closer to Videl. His eyes locked with hers. "Win." He says softly just before their lips touch.
The kiss is brief and light. As they pull apart they can feel their lips tingling lightly and their cheeks burning.
Looking into each other's eyes, Gohan and Videl can see that they each want more. "Let's call it a tie." Videl whispers.
"Ok." Gohan replies before they kiss again. This time it is deeper and more passionate.
It seems like hours have passed in the space of a minute when they pull apart again. Both teens have a smile on their face, and a small fraise comes to Gohan.
"I love you." He whispers, putting the thought into words.
Videl lets the words sink in for several seconds before her smile broadens. "I love you too." She replies before kissing him for a third time.
I hope you enjoyed it and please review.
