Part 3: More Then Friendship
Chapter 17: Swim Time
I do not own Dragonball Z.
============================================================================
Chi-Chi watched her son and his "friend" as they kissed. Gohan is sitting in a chair while Videl is in his lap with her arms around his neck. The two teens seemed oblivious to the world around them. She found it rather annoying how they both adamantly denied being boyfriend and girlfriend despite some rather obvious evidence to the contrary. "Son Gohan! Videl Satan! How dare you do that when I'm not around to take a picture!" Chi-Chi yelled at the two teens.
After several seconds Gohan and Videl stopped kissing but neither moved to change the rather awkward position they're in.
"It's not the first time we've kissed without you around." Gohan's tone of voice showed that he didn't like that they were interrupted again while Videl's displeasure is obvious on her face.
CLANG! "Don't take that tone of voice with me young man!"
"Sorry Kaa-san." Muttered Gohan as he rubbed his head. Videl giggled but quickly stopped as she too was struck by Chi-Chi's frying pan.
"And don't pout at me for stopping your little make out session with my son."
"Sorry Chi-Chi-san."
Chi-Chi smiled brightly. "It's ok. Now, let's get these gifts open because I'm sure some people want some cake and ice-cream." Her eyes fell on two tiny demi-Saiya-jins that were licking their lips while eyeing the large cake sitting on the table.

Hours passed without any more excitement then one would expect at a birthday party with the strongest beings on Earth in attendance. And the next thing anyone knew it was midnight. Without any arguments, the group of friends agreed to Bulma's suggestion of them all staying the night. With a few good nights everyone went off to their rooms.
Gohan closed the door after Videl and turned back just in time to have something land on his head. Looking at the piece of fabric in his hands his eyes widened in surprise. It's the shirt Videl had on. Quickly looking up he saw Videl digging through a dresser drawer in search of a swimsuit. His cheeks burned red hot as he watched her. He had seen her in a swimsuit several times before, but seeing her in a pair of jeans and a bra was something totally new. And he liked it.
Videl could feel Gohan's eyes on her as she purposely prolonged her search. Her lips twisted into a fiendish smirk as she picked up on some of the thoughts running through Gohan's mind. 'Sometimes its good to be evil.' Thought the girl as she picked a not so conservative one-piece suit that she had bought in secret a few days before. She knew that Gohan wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off her while they swim. A part of her also hoped that his eyes aren't the only things he can't keep off her. 'Now for the icing on the cake.' Videl's smirk grew as she went into the private bathroom and set the swimsuit next to the sink before, with her back to the door and the watchful eyes of Gohan, removing her bra with one deft movement. Then, almost as an afterthought, she reached back and closed the bathroom door. Through the closed door she could hear the sound of Gohan cussing and yelling at himself for having impure thoughts.
When Videl emerged from the bathroom a short while later she found Gohan dressed in a pair of swimming trunks. The boy was sitting on the bed, apparently lost in thought. "If you don't hurry up we'll be late for our little girl's high school graduation." Videl said on impulse, even after she said it she couldn't think of why.
But the odd sentence did rouse Gohan from his thoughts. "Ok, just one sec Hey! We don't have a daughter!"
Laughter echoed in the room. "Hmmyou're right. We don't have one yet. But I had to snap you out of your trance in a way that wouldn't cause us to start making out." Videl replied before walking from the room.
As they walked down the hall Gohan couldn't help but stare at the girl in front of him. The swimsuit looked like a single loop of fabric wound around her body with just a little extra material in strategic locations to cover certain areas.
Videl could hear a few random thoughts and grumblings from Gohan, 'Apparently he really likes the way this swimsuit looks on me.' Thought Videl. In truth she wouldn't be caught dead in this suit if anyone besides Gohan were around to see her. The girl smirked before taking off running and when she got to the pool she jumped in.
It took Gohan several seconds to realize that Videl is no longer in front of him but when he did he took off after her. The demi-Saiya-jin stopped dead in his tracks upon entering the poolroom. Just as he had entered Videl broke the water's surface with her head thrown back. Water droplets sparkled in the lights of the room, mesmerizing Gohan.
"You gonna stand there gawking all night or are you going to join me?" Videl asked with a smile.
Gohan shook his head to clear it, causing Videl to laugh. "Ummyeah." He replied before doing a cannon ball into the pool.
Videl hadn't been expecting him to do that and got a mouth full of water. She was ready to yell at Gohan when he surfaced, but he didn't. Looking around the room she couldn't see him, but when she searched for his ki her eyes widened in surprise. A split second later she was pulled underwater. Luckily she had sucked in a quick breath and closed her eyes.
She made a half hearted attempt to strike her "attacker" but her fist was easily caught in a strong hand. Opening her eyes, Videl found herself face to face with a grinning Gohan. A glare tried to settle on her face, but with Gohan grinning at her she just couldn't glare at him. So she settled on a smirk instead.
The next thing Gohan knew, Videl was kissing him. But there was something different about it this time. Maybe it was the fact that everyone else is asleep so they won't be interrupted. Or they fact that he had picked up on several thoughts about what she wanted to do. From the bits and pieces he had put together a pretty good idea about what she wanted. He himself had been thinking of ways to get them alone together so that those events could take place. And now it looks like what both wanted is about to happen.
Gohan used his ki to bring them to the surface of the pool where Videl broke the kiss.
"Race ya." The raven-haired girl said with a smirk before blasting from the pool and back to the room they're sharing. Gohan blinked in surprise at Videl no longer being in his arms before following her.
I hope you enjoyed it and please review.
