You knew it was coming, you feared it, and here it is: TO STAY IN OUR MINDS 50TH CHAPTER SUPER HAPPY FUN TIME EXTRAVAGANZA! BANSAI!!!!!!!!!

Not. Lol, I couldn't do that to you guys, I was tempted but I couldn't think of anything... extravagant enough and so here's the normal 50th chapter, ooh I love saying that. MY 50th chapter, ah.. I'm afraid no new people will read my story now, it looks almost too long, even though the chapters are super short. I just realised, I have over 50 pages of this stuff, that's so.. cool!

After that incident, they had been brought together, friends again, however there remained a coldness that neither could describe.. As if their friendship only pushed them farther from having anything more. Their past relationship was a touchy subject with both teenagers, but Videl still wondered if anything could happen between them again, as she found herself liking Gohan more and more each day. One such days Gohan was over and she was questioning him about his ability to enter other's minds. He had thought that she wouldn't want to know anything about the ability that had helped to kill her mother, but she kept asking him things that even he didn't know how to answer.

"So you can go into anyone's mind?" She asked him curiously.

"It usually works better when the person is close but I suppose I could theoretically go into anyone's mind, it would just take longer for me to find the person's mind." He answered.

"Have you ever gone into my mind?" Videl asked, smiling and knowing the answer.

Gohan sighed and frowned.

"You know I have, Videl. I already told you the story."

She leaned back on the couch looking at him slyly.

"No.. I mean without my permission.. you know to go through my innermost thoughts and.." she stopped, suddenly leaning close to Gohan.

"..desires.." she said seductively.

His face went beet red at this last sentence, he tried to look away but his eyes kept drifting to Videl, who he thought looked rather ravishing at the moment. The seductive look on her face crumpled as she took on a more serious look.

"I saw that, the way you looked at me, like you used to when we were still together, wasn't it?" she said, quietly.

Gohan looked away, they were back to that again, but she was right, he felt at that moment as if they were still going out, and he missed it.

"I.. want to be that girl, the girl you love. I feel that I really would die if you ended up with any other girl. I can hardly stand feeling jealous of myself even! Please Gohan.. I know you still have feelings for me, and I have some for you too, so what's wrong..?" she said, leaning in ever so closely to his face.

"Why do you want to break my heart?" She said, eyes closed, leaning so close her lips brushed against his for a second.

He was such an idiot.

Why couldn't he just let go, kiss her, be with her, forget about the memories that would only be his, and make new ones with her. Because he was an idiot, that's why.

He turned his face away from hers. Videl frowned as she felt her eyes moisten, no, she was wrong, his rejection still hurt the same amount as before, maybe more. There were only so many times where she could be rejected by him and still hold some self-esteem.

"Why.." he started, shaking his head as he felt his own eyes moisten.

"After all these times I've hurt you, you still like a guy like me."

She went backed away from him, looking down to the ground.

"What can I say, you even have your own little fan club at school." She said, shrugging.

"I bet half the school's in love with you, won't take long to fall in love with someone else, will it? You'll forget all about this." She said, sadly.

A silence went through them, it was disrupted by Gohan's even reply.

"No, never anyone else.." Videl looked up in surprise. "Only you."

"I'm one to talk, huh? Stupid as I am, it feels as though I would be cheating on our old relationship by going in a new relationship with you now. And I love you too much for that." He said, laughing at himself.

"Gohan." She started, looking at him straight in the eyes.

"I love you too."

She heard his sharp intake of breath, it was the first time she had said that since before..

"I.. realise how you feel but.." He started.

Videl cut him off.

"I know, I heard you before, I want you to be happy, we didn't check everything for my memory." she said, calmly.

She calmed down.

"Look into my mind." She told him.

He was taken aback, he surely hadn't expected this.

"What? But.."

"I bet you haven't even checked to see what could be done about my memories, you just wanted to wallow in your sadness, if there are so many things you can do in the mind, then maybe we have hope! I want you to look, if you can't find anything I'll leave you alone, forget about you, just like you so want me to. Just please do this Gohan." She pleaded him.

Her words stung but he felt something familiar in his heart, something he had almost forgotten, it was hope.

"Alright, I'll do it. I'm.. I'm sorry for every tear you shed for me, Videl, I just want you to know that." He apologised.

She nodded, and he wasted no time going into her mind.

Gohan had started by going through her memories, her latest ones. There was an order to these things, he realised, right now he was looking at her most important memories. All of them were of him. When he had first told her he loved her, and when he had showed her that he wasn't Saiyaman. Even the several times he had told her that they couldn't be together, but why were those memories were still here?

'Because they had me in them..' he realised, in sorrow.

He suddenly stopped looking through her memories, he couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't need her memories back, she was still the woman he was in love with, and that's all he needed. Before he lost his nerve Gohan took control of her body.

"Videl?" Gohan said in her body.

Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped involuntarily.

"I.. don't want to look anymore, I love you, and even though we don't have the same memories of us, I'd be happy to make new ones with you." He said, waiting for her reply.

Maybe he had been wrong, maybe he didn't deserve her now. His head sunk and he felt a tear slide down his face.

"I.. I'd like that." She said.

'As long as my mind's not playing tricks on me..' she thought, which Gohan of course heard.

The tear dropped to the ground, but he smiled warmly. He retreated from controlling her body and went back into her mind only to be swamped by a flood of her memories. He gasped as he saw them, they were her locked memories, memories of him. He was surprised out of looking through the memories by a familiar voice talking.

"The first seal is acceptance, the second, love. The boy managing one of these I am sure it will happen, but he will never manage both at the same time. If he loves her so much he shouldn't be able to let go of the forgotten memories, and if he accepts his situation I know he would back away from her once he finds out there's no hope, to protect himself. But that kind of acceptance is not enough, he would need to accept her and love her, a feat which would be impossible for him." Phate's voice reverberated through her mind.

Gohan's eyes widened, he had been playing into Phate's plan all this time. He hurriedly went back to his own body. Videl had her eyes closed, looking haunted.

"Did.. did you hear that too?" He asked her.

Her eyes shot open as she heard his voice, she looked at him with softness in her eyes.

"Gohan.." she started.

He really wondered if she had heard Phate or if she just thought that he made that speech so that she would be his girlfriend while he knew all along that he could unlock her memories.

"Videl..!" he started, hurriedly.

She kissed him, her arms around his waist. He felt a moment of ecstasy that almost felt as if it was too much for him to handle. When they parted, both smiling, he held her close.

"Gohan, I never want to let go.." she said, laying her head on his chest.

"We don't have to.." He said, making his decision.

Videl looked up at him quizzically. He smiled widely.

"Marry me."

Aren't I predictable? And corny? Don't worry this story's not ending there! Thanks everyone who reviewed last chapter, please read and review this one!
