Gohan sat at the breakfast table, remembering yesterday, Sunday when he had to baby sit his brother, Trunks, and Rin, surprisingly it hadn't gone that bad. Gohan spent the day showing them some of his moves, with Trunks and Goten, obviously getting it, and Rin keeping up very well to the demi- saiyans. The kids had loved their training day and asked if they could have it more often, Gohan agreed and told them that he was going to show them how to fly one day soon, all three.

Gohan finished his fourteenth bowl of cereal, he was eating lightly today. He wiped off his milk mustache, and left the house. He changed into Saiyaman and took off, leaving on time for once. He celebrated this by doing loops in the air and going super fast, he stopped going so fast once he saw that his speed caused a tidal wave in a nearby lake. He sweat dropped and silently said sorry to all the fish, but with an afterthought he remembered all the jumbo fish he and his father had caught before.

Gohan neared the school and landed on the roof, he changed to his normal clothes. He walked down to the first floor and thought that it was a bit weird that there were so many students in the school for so early. They were in groups whispering, he couldn't catch much of their words, even with his sensitive saiyan ears. What he caught was 'Videl?' 'never guessed.' And some laughing and angry talking from some of the girls.

'What about Videl? What happened?' Gohan wondered.

A few minutes later she walked into the school. Every one's whisper increased in volume, and Videl looked confused. A girl named Jamie that neither Gohan or Videl had ever talked to before walked up to Videl.

"What's really going on with you and Saiyaman, Videl?" She said, her voice full of venom.

"What do you mean?" Videl asked, ignoring her tone of voice for the moment.

Jamie pulled from behind her back a newspaper. On the front in bold lettering was 'Satan City's Saiyaman takes the champion, Hercule's daughter, Videl for a romantic flight.' Besides it there was a picture of Videl and Saiyaman flying, Videl smiling greatly.

Videl looked at the front page with fury. 'They must have taken this Friday.' She thought with anger.

"Listen, neither me as the president of the Saiyaman club or the rest of the Saiyaman club will let you take him, so you'd better keep your slutty little hands off him." Jamie told her, crossing her arms.

Videl didn't need to take this, and she wasn't especially if the person was the president of such a stupid club. Gohan was shocked, Saiyaman and Videl?

'How could he betray me like that? Er.... myself, how could I betray myself? How odd does that sound?'

'Besides Saiyaman and Videl aren't together, hey I have a club? Oh that doesn't matter, this is upsetting both Videl and I.'

"First of all I don't like Saiyaman, and if I did I wouldn't even listen to your pathetic threats." Videl told her, glaring daggers.

"Oh, let me guess he was flying and you just happened to fall out of the sky and into his arms?"

"We were giving a demonstration to some second graders, to show he was really Saiyaman." Videl said, angrily.

"Why should I believe you?" Jamie asked, as though she needed reasons.

"You don't, but I honestly don't give a shit if you don't." Videl left her shocked, in her place.

Gohan walked faster to catch up to catch up with her. They didn't talk much, just a hi, and they made their way to class. They had a surprise once every one got there, there was going to be a conference in the gym with Hercule talking to them. They left for the gym, Videl and Gohan got seats in the bleachers, at the middle. Once the whole school was there (it was a big gym) the lights turned off and a spotlight went out to a part of the gym where the door was, out came Hercule with his arms out, making victory signs and yelling , he ran to the middle of the gym, doing a summersault in mid air. The whole school went mad, clapping, yelling, and whistling.

'Even in a whole school conference he has to have his entrance.' Gohan thought, to himself.

'Jeez dad, do you have to do this all the time, it's embarrassing.' Videl thought to herself.

Hercule coughed, loudly to get their attention and took a mic.

"Hey everybody, is every one feeling great?!" He got a great response from this, and he grinned, he had them just where he wanted them.

"Now everyone I'm sure you've read the newspaper today... and I'm here to tell you that the idea that Videl and Saiyaman are an 'item' is false. Everyone got that?" He asked the crowd.

A greatly magnified "Yeah" was the response he got, and satisfied he left the school, with one last whoop.

Videl shook her head.

The rest of the day went by way faster than those few first minutes that she had first got into the school had. There was a greatly decreased amount of people who whispered around her, and Gohan had been greatly helpful or annoying, however you see it. He was constantly asking her if she was alright, and looking at her with those cute jet black eyes of his, she had to keep turning her head every time he asked her this, because of those eyes that made her blush each time. He even gave her his number incase she needed help or to talk, she graciously accepted this. Gohan's attention was just about the only good thing that she got out of this.

After school she said good bye to both Gohan and Erasa, both slightly worried about her, and she left for home. She arrived at her mansion, but her father wasn't home yet. She was meaning to do that search about Gohan, she was still sure he was hiding something, and even more bent on continuing with her search now that she was highly infatuated with him.

But before she had the chance she heard the front door open, it seems her father was home, she was going to have a talk with him, she descended the staircase and met up with him at the bottom. He didn't look very happy, though she had no idea why, he was the one who went to her school without even asking her opinion about it, he was holding a newspaper she noticed.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me first that you were going to talk to the whole school?" Videl asked him, frowning.

Her father frowned at her.

"What were you doing with Saiyaman?" He asked her.

Videl looked straight into his eyes.

"It was a demonstration for the Orange star elementary school." Videl answered monotonously.

He held up the newspaper, which showed in the background Hercule mansion.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but Orange Star Elementary is not any where near our house?" Hercule said, now glaring.

"Oh that." Videl blushed slightly in embarrassment.

"Videl, it doesn't look good on me for you to be dating this guy, so stay away from him." Her father told her.

Videl abandoned her blush for a glare.

"I'm not dating him, he offered me a ride home," she said, stopping for a second before continuing "But if we were dating I wouldn't stop it just for you." She told him his words before gave her a different side to him.

Hercule seethed with anger.

"You're being insolent Videl." He told her, warningly.

"So what? You pay almost no attention to me, and you go around as if you rule my life."

Hercule looked at her with glaring eyes.

"Stop it.." He said, but Videl continued.

"And you think I don't know about all the women? What about mom? Did you just forget her?" Videl stopped as she felt a stinging sensation on her cheek. Her father had just slapped her.

She looked at him in disbelief he looked as thought he had been burned, as he clutched his hand. Tears sprung from her eyes, not out of pain, because her cheek stung only mildly, but out of disbelief and sadness. She looked at him for just a second longer before going to her room, still crying. She closed her door hard.

'He's my father, he never hurt me before, how could he?' she thought with sorrow.

She looked around her room. This was his mansion, she looked at the window. She flung herself from the window, she landed in her father's hedge, without a scratch on her. Videl walked past it and saw her father's prized rose garden, angrily she stomped on them all.

She then ran, her destination unknown to her, she just knew she needed to get to a phone, to talk to the person who always made her feel happy. Gohan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Gohan sat on the couch, watching a Videl and Saiyaman show re-run when he heard the phone ring. He picked it up.

"Hello?" He said.

"Hey Gohan it's Videl... um can we talk? I mean can you meet me somewhere, it's ok if you don't but, I just need to talk to someone.." Videl sounded shaken.

"Sure Videl where do you want to meet?" Gohan asked her, worried about her.

"In front of the school, if that's ok. It's nothing to do with that, it's just where I am right now." She said, stuttering.

"Of course Videl, I'll come as fast as I can." Gohan told her truthfully.

"Thanks, I'll see you.." Videl's voice was quite small now.

"Bye." Gohan hung up.

"Mom I have to go, bye." He left before his mother could respond.

Gohan didn't even bother to turn into Saiyaman, he was really worried for her, this sounded really bad. He went super saiyan two right away.

He got in front of the school in about ten minutes and he saw the form of Videl sitting down. He landed away from her and switched to his normal form.

"Videl?" Gohan said, unsure.

Videl looked up at Gohan.

"How, how did you get here so fast?" She asked him.

"My god mother works at Capsule corps and she gave me this cool new super fast prototype jet chopper." He half made up.

"Oh." She said quietly.

Gohan looked at her and sat down next to her.

"What's wrong?" he asked Videl.

"My father... he slapped me." Videl said, touching her cheek in remembrance, this caused more tears to appear.

"He did?" Gohan was angry, he was going to forgive the doofus for every thing else but he hit his own daughter, the girl Gohan liked, maybe even loved.

Videl just nodded, not looking at him and choosing instead the lovely sidewalk.

"Why?" What was the reason good enough for slapping her, there wasn't any.

"It was the whole thing with Saiyaman in the newspaper, he said I was ruining his reputation." She looked at him at the corner of her eye, he looked mad.

Gohan stood up.

"That's the reason?!" He half yelled. He felt a responsible for this.

Videl stood up also.

"Don't let it eat you up, Gohan. I'm fine..." But as she was saying this new tears kept on coming, Videl turned slightly.

"Videl.."

She looked at him. Gohan put his hand on her cheek, his face had softened dramatically.

"Videl I know you're not fine, I can see it in your eyes. Your father means a lot to you, even if you deny it. But it's not your fault, I can't even begin to imagine why he would hit such a smart, strong, and beautiful girl like you."

"I.. I." Videl couldn't respond for a minute.

Gohan's understanding smile didn't help either.

"Why do I feel this way? Every time you're around me, it's like I'm floating, I can't describe it very well." Videl frowned slightly.

"Like if you just stay together every thing will be alright?" Gohan asked her.

"Yeah, exactly. Like in a dream where nothing else matters, or your problems are easy to conquer now." She looked at him, as if expecting an answer.

"Videl, I love you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, I wasn't expecting this to happen, sorry if it's too soon, but it felt right, tell me what you think. Strange, I've become an addict to my own story, this chapter was the longest yet. Sorry about the Hercule thing, but it will all turn out in the end, don't stop reading, it's not the end. R&R.
