The Past is the Past, the Present is the past?!?!

This is after Buu but Videl never met Piccolo or Vegeta and Goku never came back and never will. Serena and Gohan don't think of his as a dad only a father or a man that was in their life. Videl can fly and is the great Saiyan-man 2 and Serena is the Great Saiyan-Gal, she looks just like Gohan but she wears blue where its green, gold where it's red and silver where its black, her helmet doesn't have any little antenna (she doesn't pose!). They are all 19 or almost 19 in this fic.

Chapter 3 - Shopping and what's next?

'Hi Bulma' Serena said as she walked into Bulma's lab

'Oh hello Serena what can I do for you?' asked Bulma turning around

'Only 2 things, one can you please help me get home!' Serena said almost begging

'Well I don't know if I can I mean I know nothing about time travel.yet!' Bulma said adding yet as she saw the young Saiyans face fall

'Bulma you just got to help me! I can't stand it here with Goku.' Serena said looking really sad and angry at the same time

'Why can't you stand being around your father?' Bulma asked looking deep into the teen's eyes

'He hasn't been my father for 7 years at the minimum! I can't stand him telling me what to do, he has NO right, not after what he did!' Serena said with fire in her eyes

'What did he do to you Serena?' Bulma asked

'He.I can't tell you that!' Serena said 'Bulma I need to go home or I will explode, no one on this planet has the power I do and if I stay around Goku for to long there will be no Goku left to be around!' Serena said 'He will get me so mad that I will not be able to control my power! I don't want that to happen!'

'Fine but it might take a while and I might to be able to get you to the exact year you want' Bulma said

'Don't worry Bulma you're a genius I'm sure you will do fine' Serena said smiling

'What's the other favor you wanted?' Bulma asked

'I need money for clothes, and for Gohan and Videl's clothes, we have a house full of food but no clothes' Serena said

'Sure here' Bulma handed Serena 2 credit cards 'Go nuts! Just make sure it isn't all Gi's got it!' Bulma said smiling

'I will do that for you, and umm thanks for every thing Bulma, you're a true friend'

At the shopping center a few hours later Videl, Gohan and Serena were all shopping for some new clothes.

So far Serena had bought black pants, black leather pants, black short sleeve top, 2 blue short sleeve tops, 2 purple tank tops, 2 pair of jeans, gray shorts, and light blue short shorts.

Videl had bought a few different colored over sized shirts and black, Grey, and blue shorts as well as a few pair of jeans and tight shirts with words like fight, go for gold, KO and #1 babe which Gohan had made her buy

Gohan had gotten all long pants, jeans and lose colored mainly, a few lose shirts and a few vests (like what he wore when he started school) as well as some short sleeve tops and shorts.

Each had bought a swimsuit. Videl's was a black 1 piece, Serena had a blue with purple stars 2 piece and Gohan had gotten a pair of green swimming trunks. As well they had each bought their underwear and that sort of thing.

Walking by a shop Serena stopped dead. Inside was a hand made leather jacket, and the lining was black silk.

'Oh Dende!' Serena whispered to herself. The jacket was beautiful, oh how much she wanted it. She knew her mother in this time would hate it but then again so would Goku! 'Back in a second' Serena said to the others and 5 minutes Serena came back out holding a big bag of clothes. Inside was the jacket, a pair a black sunglasses, a black shirt that said 'Bad-ass' in gold, a red bandanna and black leather biker boots.

'Thanks for waiting' Serena said as she ran over to her brother and her best friend

In the next store Serena felt like a third wheel. Videl was picking out clothes for Gohan and Gohan was picking out clothes for Videl. Some where something they would never wear but others would look great. They both ignored her as though they where the only one in the universe

'Man to be in love' Serena whispered to herself as she looked for an outfit to wear.

The next stop was the Gi store.

Gohan got 7 black Gi's the same style as the one Piccolo wears.

Videl got 7 white ones with white pants and a pull around top, a black belt for the middle

Serena got 7 Identical to Piccolo's but one that was almost the same as her mothers. Blue pants to go underneath and a yellow throw over dress with a light blue trimming. This for when she had to do the cleaning

The last shop was a jewelry store

There were diamonds and pearls, rings in gold and sliver, everything

Gohan got a gold heart locket for the girl he would care about when Valentines Day came round.

Videl got a necklace with a boxing glove on it in silver

Serena got a few things, a Star necklace in silver with a Z on it in gold, a belly button ring; it was silver with a star on the end with a small diamond in the center shaped as a Z. As well she got a new set of earring in gold and last was something she just couldn't walk away from.

It was a jewelry box that held all necklaces in a hanging position so they wouldn't get tangled. As well as a few rows of material to hold rings in a little draw, a draw for bracelets, a draw made for earrings and other for anything else; it was made out of a light colored wood. But that wasn't what had been so special about it, what had made her stop and look. It was the pattern on the sides and doors. It was a row of bears dancing with each other and the next row would be of white birds, swans.

A blurring picture of that jewelry box popped up into her mind, someone was holding the box showing it to her.

Remembering a song she wrote after the cell games, she started humming then softly signing

'Dancing bears, Painted wings. Things I almost remember. And a song someone sings. Once upon a December.. .Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully. Across my memory!' Serena sung as she paid for her items. Walking outside the shop she saw her brother and best friend VERY close on a bench waiting for her. They had left after they bought what they wanted but Serena had taken a while.

# Those two need to be alone for a while. # Serena thought

'Yo Gohan! I need to do a few more things before I can head back. You two go on without me. I'll be about 30 minutes' Serena said as she reached her brother

'You sure Serena I mean we could hang out together if you want' Gohan asked his sister questionably raising an eyebrow

'Yes, Yes I'm sure. You and Videl go have fun while I do what I have to do' winked Serena

Blushing Videl replied 'We don't like each other that way Serena but we will go on ahead. We'll meet you at the capsule house but we might moved it if you don't mind?'

'Nah sure move it any where but keep your Ki raised to a leave I will be able to find easily' Serena said then walked away

Serena walked down the rows of shops till she came to a shop called 'Piercing Pallor' Serena walked in and got what she wanted done.

Back with Gohan and Videl

They where just walking down the street with nothing to do. They were going to train till they saw an olden style Ice cream shop

'Mmm I love ice cream want to get some?' asked Videl as she started to drag Gohan into the shop

'Do I have a choice?'

'Nope just wanted to sound polite'

Inside it was all white with red lines here and there (ok I have never in my life seen and old style ice cream shop. I wish they had them in Aussie but they are very uncommon)

Taking a seat at a both Videl picked up a menu.

'Mmm everything sounds so nice' Videl mumbled not really remembering Gohan could hear her

'Yeah I know but I think I know what I will have' Gohan said looking up from his menu

'Yeah same'

A waitress came over then and they gave their orders

'One banana spilt with double chop chip ice cream' Videl said

'One banana split but with one scoop of mint chip, double choc, vanilla, and triple tornado, thanks' Gohan said 'oh and rainbow sprinkles, some whipped cream and a cherry'

'Yes sir' the lady said writing it down and walking away to get their orders

Their orders arrived and silence followed it for a few minutes as the two teens ate. As they finished their splits Videl looked over at the boy across from her. He had a bit of ice cream on his lip in the corner but he didn't notice it.

'You have ice cream on your lip' Videl said # so cute when he eats.wait Videl you don't like him that. Ok so maybe just a little #

'Where?' Gohan asked trying to find where it was

'Here silly' Videl got up and sat next to him. Placed her thumb where the ice cream was and wiped it off. She held her thumb in front of his mouth so that he could lick it off.

Licking off the ice cream Gohan said

'Mmm Mint Chip.my favorite! Thanks.Videl' Gohan said looking into her eyes # I could get lost in her eyes forever! #

'Any.Time' Videl said looking right back into his eyes. Slowly their faces came closer and closer until they could feel each other breaths on their lips. With a bit of courage Gohan presses his lips softly onto hers. She pressed back, kissing his, physically telling him how she feels. A few seconds passed..no change..30 seconds passed..no change..1 minute passed..tongues entered the others mouth..2 minutes passed they break away gasping for breath

'Wow!' Gohan said looking at Videl with loving eyes

'You could say that again!'

'Wow!'

'You could say that again'

'Wow!'

'Ok I'm over it!'

Gohan placed his arm around the girl's shoulder.

'So Videl' Gohan whispered 'Would you like.go.umm.out.with me?'

'Gohan.I would LOVE to' Videl said kissing him
