Disclaimers:
1.I do not own any characters that appear in the Dragon Ball Z series.
2.This idea is very stereotypical, you will be able to spot the clichés and everything.

Gohan and Videl are my favourite couple from Dragon Ball Z and this is my fourth try at a romance fic with them, my other work was Walk Me Home, Starting Out On a Journey and Dragon Ball Z: A New Future. I hope you find this story enjoyable and please review my flames if you can it makes me a better writer.

Also i will be answering your reviews at the bottom of this chapter.

Chapter 8 – Mothers Day Special

Walking off into the caves surrounding the hall was fun. /It was dark and holographic monsters were appearing. You had to shoot them as well as your friends. You could only get hit a total of ten times before you were out. Tiffany had Leo beside her as the two walked around their guns in the air.

"GOTCHA!" a voice shouted and without warning Goten appeared in front of the duo, his gun in two.

"GOTEN HOW'D YOU DO THAT" Tiffany snapped, "We have to pay for that now"

"Oh don't worry watch this" Goten said innocently and he raised his hands and did a ki ball. Tiffany dropped to the ground.

"wha…" she said in shock

"Goten" a voice snapped in the air. He looked around to find his brother with his arms crossed.

"What has mom and I told you?" Gohan asked

"not to use ki outside of training unless instructed" The demi saiyan said looking down at his feet.

"It's for safety reasons ok munchkin" Gohan answered kneeling beside the child.

"Whoa….what was he doing with his hand Gohan?" Tiffany asked in shock

"It was…" Gohan started

"Ki…it's a technique which enables a fighter to use their own energy to create an attack" Leo finished.

Gohan eyed him off as Lime latched her arm on his. "come on Wonder boy we'll go find your future girlfriend"

"She's not my girlfriend" Gohan moaned 'not that I wouldn't mind that' he thought to himself.

"Yeah, well lets go find her and finish this gaming so we can get to the presents" Lime said as she pulled the teenager away from Leo, Tiffany and Goten.

"Do you think Videl's going to be my new sister?" Goten asked innocently

"We can only hope" Tiffany said "Come on lets go you can be on our team"

"Really?"

"Sure" Leo answered as the trio ran off following Gohan and Lime.

Eraser kept walking back away from the holographic images and hit the wall. She dropped to the ground.

"Ouch!" she cried "The wall hurts"

Jo walked over to Eraser and helped her to her feet. "Come Eraser you'll be fine". Videl looked away from her friends.

Jo noticed and went to her side. "Vi, whats wrong?" Jo asked concerned

"Nothing" Videl whispered "I'm fine!"

"You sure?" Jo asked

"Yeah im sure" Videl answered

"Ah Damnit!!!" a voice shrieked

Jo, Eraser and Videl ran to the voice. They immediately laughed when they found Sharpner holding his head and cursing.

"What happened Sharpie?" Eraser asked as Marker and Lime walked up laughing their heads off.

"Ha ha ha ha" Marker laughed "You should've seen Gohan's face"

"It wasn't my fault" Gohan said walking foreward and putting his hands in front of him in surrender.

"What happened?" Jo asked

"Gohan had a ditzy moment he tripped over something and his gun went flying…." Lime said happily

"And Sharpner happened to be in the way of it" Marker teased

Videl giggled a little. And without warning, she dragged everyone into a group hug. So they're the whole group stood.

"Thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me" Videl whispered

"YOUR WELCOME!!" They said in chorus.

Panna sat next to ChiChi. Both were smirking. Both wanted their kids to get together. They were a perfect match.

The group of teens walked into the hall. Tiffany, Leo and Goten followed shortly after.

"How was it?" Panna asked

"Excellent" Tiffany answered walking onto the stage and picking up her guitar. "jo!!!" she snapped

Jo turned around to face her friend and cringed. "YEAH!"

"HOWS YOUR HAND?" Tiffany shouted

"it's good" Jo answered getting on the stage.

Gohan sat beside Videl and Lime. Videl watching the stage eagerly.

"Videl this was written for you by Me, Jo and Gohan I hope you like it" tiffany whispered as she began the beat on her guitar.

You're the kind of friend who always bends when I'm broken

Like remember when

You took my heart and put it back together again

You're it

You're the ultimate

It's automatic.

I'm sure of it

No lie

So don't even try

To tell me that you're not the guy

Cuz I've been waiting all my life

For someone just like you

But you're it

You're the ultimate, you

Videl smiled up at her friends. She loved hearing her friends sing. They were really good too. She was sure they would become a top band eventually.

You're the kind of chick who's hands and mind send shivers up and down my spine

You took my heart and put it back together again.

You're the kind of chick that blows my mind

But now it's my turn

You've been right in front of me

Everything I need

Why didn't I see

You're it

You're the ultimate, you....

Tiffany and Jo finished their notes on their guitar and bowed. All their friends were clapping.

"That was more of a love song" Marker teased "Do you love Videl or something?"

"Oh yes" Tiffany said with sarcasm as she put her guitar on the stage and walked off to her friends. "I love her so much, she's my close friend you boofhead"

"Oh hurt to the quick" Marker said dropping to the ground and pretending to be dead. Everyone laughed.

"alright enough time for presents" ChiChi insisted as she handed over a present to Videl. Videl smiled graciously.

"You didn't have to get anything chichi, but thank you" Videl said as she opened the present. Only to find a photo of Gohan and goten. "Oh that's so cute" and they were tearing eachother into pieces. Videl showed the picture to everyone.

"wonderboy" Lime teased "You look good as a blonde"

Gohan blushed. Goten handed Videl a picture. That he had drawn especially for her. She smiled. Looking at it, she smiled even more.

It had both families holding hands in a straight line. Her and Gohan were in the middle joining the two families. 'that would be a nice feeling' she thought to herself.

Panna smiled at the gifts. "Isn't that cute, but I have something very special for you my daughter" she handed her daughter a tiny box. Videl smiled as she opened it. In it laid a heart shaped necklace that has Videl carved on it. The necklace was gold and the locket was gold with red along the rim.

Staring at it Videl thought of a necklace her mother used to have, which had her name on it.

Flashback

Chibi Videl was sitting down with her mother in hospital at age 6. Her mother had become very sick in the past few days and the doctors didn't think she'd make it.

Videl sat their not doing anything. She stared at her mother who just breathed in heavily. Tubes etc were sticking out of her body.

The door opened and in walked a woman with a child. He had spiky black hair. And the woman had long black hair in a ponytail.

"Go on" the woman whispered pointing to Videl.

"But mom" the boy complained "She has girl germs"

"No buts go on mister" the woman ordered as she walked over to Panna. "How are you going?" she whispered to the woman lying in bed.

"I've been better" Panna answered smiling slightly

"You'll be fine you'll see" The woman answered

"No I wont" Panna answered sadly "the doctors say there isn't much time left for me"

"No"

"Im not worried about that, im worried about how Hercule will handle Videl, she's a lot like him and I don't think he knows much about raising a kid cause I've always been there"

Videl picked up a small box of the table and walked away from the boy. She walked over to her mother.

"Mommy?" she asked innocently "What's in this box"

Panna smiled and the woman picked up the girl and put her on the bed beside her mother.

"that's what your grand mother gave me on my 17th birthday" Panna answered "It was the best birthday gift I ever received"

"that's sweet" Videl whispered as she picked up a card off the desk. "I gave this to you for mothers day didn't I?"

"Yes, and I love it all the time sweetie" Panna answered as the child wrapped her arms around the womans neck.

"I don't want you to die mommy" Videl sobbed "I'm too young to have no mommy"

Panna choked for a few seconds, before she could answer. "You'll always have a mother….im not going anywhere"

"Then why are you here on Mothers Day for?"

"Because im sick, they want to make sure I get better"

"oh"

2 years later

8 year old Videl stood near the woman and another 8 year old boy. She looked sad. She was moving to Orange Star City and was leaving her friends in the Mountain Area.

The woman hugged Panna. "Keep in contact ok"

"Will do " Panna answered "You too"

"Ofcourse"

Videl looked up to the 8 year old who was slightly taller then herself. He handed her a present. It was a necklace, which had a dragon on it. She thanked him.

"thank you….i have something for you too" Videl whispered as she handed him a star shaped locket. "I know it's girly, but its really special to me, and so are you and I'd really like you have it"

He smiled at her as he looked down at the locket. "I'll miss you Videl"

"I'll miss you too….." she trailed off as he leant in and kissed her cheek.

"Till we meet again Shorty"

End Flashback

"Thank you mom" Videl whispered

"My turn" Gohan answered handing her a gift. "I've had this for years, but you might like it"

She unwrapped the present and was shocked to see a star locket. IT had friendship written on the front in Japanese. And it was gold with blue 'ribbons' imprinted on the locket. She looked up at Gohan as a dear fell down her cheek. Gohan didn't know what was wrong with but was even more shocked when she threw herself into him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He pulled her close, not realizing it. But he did know, that for some reason this felt right.

lady lunic: I rather like this chapter, it's sweet and allowed me to get more onto the romance side of things a little. I don't know if it will have much Gohan/Lime at the moment, I've never tried writing a fic like that, but I am considering giving it a try.

Please let me know your honest opinions. And flame me please it makes me a better writer.

The song used is in this chapter is Ultamite by Lindsay Lohan from Freak Friday, only i changed the words so it seemed like it was written by Gohan, even though Tiffany sung it...hmmm another contradiction lol.

Anyway please review me your thoughts.
