Sure enough, Gohan did the same thing he'd done last Friday night. He flew home after walking Erasa and Sharpener to theirs. As he reached the mountain district, he pulled out the bottle of water and ate a piece of gum. Satisfied with the scent of his breath, he made his way home. His light again was the only one on as he snuck inside with another Scott free victory. He went to sleep. The next morning he woke up feeling fine, he had no idea what Bulma was talking about. After doing all of his daily chores, he remembered his promise to call Videl. He picked up the phone, dialed her number and waited until a voice on the other end stopped the ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey Videl, it's Gohan."

"Oh... hi."

Gohan looked oddly at the phone, "That's not the kinda welcome I would've expected."

"Yea, that's what I thought last night at the bar."

"The bar." Gohan felt a lump form in his throat. "But, but you weren't there."

"I came late because I was bored and had nothing to do, thanks to you."

"What, thanks to me?"

"Yea, joker."

"Joker? Uh oh... you mean you..."

"Gohan you'd better have been drunk to make such a fool out of yourself at karaoke."

"Oh no, don't worry, I was."

"Gohan!"

"What?"

"You really are a joker aren't you?"

"Uhm... look, Videl I... at least I called you."

"Yea, I hope you and Erasa and Sharpener had a great time last night because I sure didn't."

"But, well, you didn't want to come with us. You had nothing planed."

"Yea, with them! I had with you."

"Wait, what?"

"Gohan, I wanted to just hang out you and me, we never get to know each other with those two around. You know how Sharpener is about me."

"Uh hu. So, can we hang out today?"

Videl sighed, "No Gohan, I'm busy."

"Doing what?"

"I have nothing planned..."

"But you just said that you were..."

"With you." Click.

"Huh?" Gohan looked at the phone as the dial tone was heard yet again, he hung up. "Man, now what was that all about?"

At her house, Videl laid back on her bed and closed her eyes. Gohan was so lovable, so cute, and usually so smart, now look at him. He wasn't the same person he was two weeks ago, did she still even love him, a guy like that now? Who was she kidding of course she did, she loved him with all her heart, how could she not?

Gohan went outside to clear his head. He looked up at the blue sky, it had a few wispy clouds. The birds flew among the trees as a few leaves fell from the gentle breeze. The bushes rustled with the sound of small animals. Gohan looked down at a blooming flower, he didn't know what was wrong with Videl, she'd been acting so weird around him. Gohan liked her, he always liked her, but he figured that she and Sharpener were an item. Chi-Chi looked out the kitchen window at her son, she'd overheard some of the argument and could tell that he was having girl troubles. She sighed. Gohan walked around for a while, he had fun, he didn't know how Videl couldn't. He liked singing, he didn't think doing it drunk made him any more of a joker.

They just didn't understand love, and yet their argument hurt so much.

Gohan: Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
Videl: Any heart not tough or strong enough
Gohan: To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Videl: Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Both: Love hurts, oh, oh, love hurts

Gohan: I'm young, I know, but even so, I know a thing or two, I learned from you
Videl: I really learned a lot, really learned a lot, love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot
Both: Love hurts, oh, oh, love hurts

Gohan: Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness, some fools fool themselves, I guess
Videl: They're not fooling me, I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true
Gohan: Love is just a lie
Videl: Made to make you blue
Both: Love hurts, oh, oh love hurts

Videl looked up to see Hurcule standing in the doorway, she blushed, but all he said was, "So, trying out for the school musical hu?" Videl just sighed.

Gohan was back at his house now, he looked up to see Chi-Chi standing on the porch, he blushed but all she said was, "You have a nice singing voice."

"So, you heard me hu." Gohan muttered quietly.

"Gohan, come here." She sat down and he sat down with her. He leaned his head on her shoulder as she wrapped her arm around him, her hand petting his hair.

Gohan sang a little again quietly, "Love is just a lie, only meant to take, to take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain..."

"I know, love hurts." Chi-Chi replied.

Oh, oh, love hurts, oh, oh.... (So then why must they fight?)
