Chapter 5

            That night while Videl was sleeping peacefully Gohan was dreaming about his new slave.  He kept dreaming about those eyes of hers.  Great pools of blue mystery that were drowning him in their endless depths.  Suddenly Gohan woke up in a cold sweat.  "Ahh!"  Gohan yelled.

            He looked around his room to make sure he was still there.  After reassuring himself that he was still there he wiped the sweat form his brow.  "Why did I have that dream about Videl's eyes?" Gohan asked himself out loud.

            Gohan went to his bathroom to splash water on his face.  After Gohan stayed up a while longer pondering why he had that dream he grew weary again and soon fell asleep without another dream the rest of the night.  That morning after Gohan's breakfast and after Videl got done with the dishes Gohan invited Videl to take a seat in the living room with him.  "Come sit down and let's talk." Said Gohan.

            "Alright, what do you want to talk about?" Videl asked.

            "Tell me about yourself." Gohan said.

            "Ok well…

Some time later

"And that's about it." Said Videl.

            "Well sounds like you were living pretty comfortably, almost like an elite would." Said Gohan.

            "Sort of like you." Said Videl.

            "Oh I wish, maybe someday if I ever get promoted, at least I live better than I used to." Said Gohan.

            "What do you mean?" Videl asked with curiosity.

            "Well I used to be a third-class saiyan."  Said Gohan, "my parents were both third-class who met during the Full Moon Festival and soon after mated.  I was born not long after that.  My father was a soldier who was trying to get promoted which hardly ever happens.  However once during one of his missions we were fighting a very powerful race of aliens.  One of my father's commanding officers was wounded in the battle.  My father got him to safety and for his courageous efforts he was bumped up a few military positions to become a lieutenant, which made him and his family second-class family.  Now my father is general which makes him and my mother elites.  I'm only second-class though because I'm a lieutenant."

            "Oh." Was all Videl could say.

            After that both were quiet for neither could think of what to talk about next.  While Videl was thinking about something else Gohan stole a glance at her.  He hadn't paid much attention before but now that he was sitting and actually looking at Videl he couldn't help but notice how beautiful Videl was.  Eventually Videl noticed Gohan looking at her.  "What are you looking at?" Videl asked with curiosity.

            "Huh, oh nothing, I was just daydreaming." Said Gohan.

            "Sure." Videl said as she went back to thinking.

            After more silence Videl got thirsty and decided to get something to drink.  "Hey Gohan you want something to drink?" asked Videl.

            "Um, water's fine." Said Gohan.

            "Ok." Said Videl.

            "Videl brought back 2 glasses of water.  "Thanks." Said Gohan as he looked up at Videl and taking the glass of water she offered.

            "You're welcome." Said Videl as she took a seat and turned on a T.V.

            While Gohan was watching the T.V. Videl looked at Gohan to say something.  When she saw Gohan looking at the T.V. she had this weird urge to just stare at him.  He was so innocent looking while other saiyans she had seen were always looking mad at something.  Gohan saw Videl looking at him and asked, " Videl are you alright?"

            "Huh, yeah I'm fine, I just blanked out a minute there." Said Videl quickly finding an excuse.

            "You sure?" Gohan asked genuinely concerned.

            "Yeah." Was all Videl said.

            Later that night while Gohan and Videl were eating supper the front door bleeped indicating someone was at the door.  Videl went to answer it.  When she opened the door a short little blue alien was standing there.  "Can I help you?" Videl asked.

            "Yes, General Kakkarott wishes to see Lieutenant Gohan right away." Said the blue alien.

            "Oh, hold on." Said Videl.

            Videl went to go get Gohan who was still eating.  "Gohan there's a little blue alien at the door who says your father wants to see you right away." Said Videl.

            "Oh right, tell him I'll be there after I'm done eating." Said Gohan as he hurried to finish his food.

            Videl went back to tell the little blue alien.  The alien waited for Gohan and when he came out the alien escorted Gohan to his father's chambers.  "Yes father you wanted to see me." Said Gohan.

            "Oh yes Gohan, sorry to call at such a late hour, but I received word from King Vegeta himself that Frieza's men have started an attack on one of Vegeta's neighboring planets that is about 4 light years from here.  He wants us to go there and try to help defeat Frieza's men.

            "But father what if Frieza himself is there, there's no way we'd make it if he was there." Said Gohan.

            "Frieza would never place himself in a position that when he has followers to do his dirty work for him he's saving his power to destroy our planet." Said Goku.

            "How do you know he wants to destroy Vegeta?" asked Gohan.

            "We caught one of Frieza's leading men and being the coward he is told us Frieza's plan.  Frieza has been planning to take us out ever since he found out that we were starting our rebellion." Said Goku.

            "When will we be arriving on this planet?" asked Gohan.

            "In about 3 months." Said Goku.

            "What shall we do until then?" asked Gohan.

            "Train of course, Train very hard." Said Goku.

            "Yes of course father." Said Gohan.

            "You're dismissed." Said Goku.

            "Yes father." Said Gohan as he turned and went back to his chambers.
