Hey I'm back! I hope you enjoyed the lasy chappy! I still haven't got 20 reviews yet! UUUURRGH! (scream of frustration) what does it take? Ah well, here it is...
Oh and keep an eye out for my first LOTR ficcy, coming soon!
Begin the story!
Chapter Five: Asked at Last
That afternoon, Gohan and Videl were sitting together on a cliff high above the ocean. They were watching the sunset over the sea. 'This is so romantic, hey Gohan?' 'Mm.' 'Is something wrong, Gohan?' 'Yeah...Vid, you know how I told you about the saiyans...' 'Yes...' 'Well, there's something I didn't tell you. Pure saiyans like my father live for about two thousand years.' 'Oh my!' 'And a half-saiyan like me...probably about one thousand years.' 'So...so I'll die, and you'll be still living, nearly forever?' 'Yeah...and –here's the lousy bit –not looking much older than I am now until I reach about nine hundred.' 'So you'll look eighteen ' ' except in the eyes ' ' for the rest of my life?' 'Yeah...I can understand if you're mad, even if you want to leave me.' 'Oh Gohan!' And Videl began to laugh. 'Oh Gohan! If anything, I love you even more for having the courage to tell me!' And she kissed him.
Another couple of months passed. The school was putting on a production of Romeo and Juliet and guess who was cast as the title characters? Gohan and Videl! On the final night after the final show for the huge audience (which contained their families), they put on such a splendid show that the audience cried 'Encore! Encore!' and the pair stepped to the front. Gohan whipped out a red rose and kissed it, then placed it on Videl's lips. Videl smiled. Then Gohan went down on one knee. 'Lady Videl Satan, I can't give you huge mansions or expensive jewellery, but there is something I can give you...my heart. Videl Satan' –here he drew a box from his pocket – 'will you marry me?' Videl gasped and squealed at the same time. 'Oh Gohan! Of course!' Gohan opened the box and slipped the ring on Videl's finger. It was silver, set with a big sapphire. Gohan kissed her chastely. The crowd cheered.
Later, as Gohan was coming out of the change rooms, he heard voices. He stopped to listen: they were Videl and her father's voices, just ahead. 'You are notmarrying him!' 'I am!' 'Is there a problem?' Gohan stepped forwards. 'Just this, young man: you think that because you beat some upstart and have a petty emotion called love, you can marry my daughter. Well think again!' 'Why can I not?' 'Because, lad, you are not a Prince!' 'Hmm. So you'd rather have your daughter marry a Prince she doesn't love, and be miserable, though she has everything she could want and is very rich, instead of marrying a Prince she does love, and be happy, but doesn't have everything a rich Prince could give her and is of average wealth?' 'What are you on about?' 'The thing is, Hercule Satan, that by the rules you have just stated, I can marry Videl.' 'You forget one thing boy. You're not a Prince!' 'That's where you're wrong, Satan. I am a Prince.' Even Videl looked surprised. 'I didn't know that!' 'You're a Prince?' 'Yes, I am. I am the son of Princess Chi-Chi, ruler of the People of the Ox. As her firstborn son, I am her heir and Prince.' 'So you rule a petty mountain kingdom, long bereft of wealth. Who was your father? Some meek little farmer?' Suddenly Gohan was furious. He had Hercule pinned, off the ground, to the wall by his throat. 'My father is Son Goku, the noblest, bravest and strongest warrior in the universe. Don't you ever besmirch his name with your unworthy lips! I will marry your daughter, whether you like it or no.' And Gohan and Videl stormed off.
End the chappy!
How did ya like it? Yes, I know that in the TV series no-one says anything about Chi-Chi and her royal family. But look at her father's name -Ox-King- and he tried to name Gohan Ox-Prince. Ooooh, temper, temper, Gohan! Keep your eyes peeled for the next -and last- chappy! Oh- and should I write a sequel?
