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.

Reviews will be answered at the end of this chapter.

Previously on How Things Work Out?

ChiChi tried to contain herself. But it wasn't working. It was really hard. She tried to compose herself.

"Serena…" she cried "She's your…your sister"

"WHAT?" Goten and Gohan said In shock at the same time.

-----------------------------------

Chapter 10 –

-----------------------------------

Gohan stared at his mother in disbelief. This wasn't possible. A sister. How come he had no recollection of this at all. It wasn't like it could happen and he not know about it.

"Our what?" Gohan repeated

"Your sister" ChiChi repeated sitting down beside her son. "I guess its time I be completely honest with you two"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Goten asked "How can we have a sister? Where has she been?"

"Oh I get it…your pregnant" Gohan said clueless "With a girl…..Hmm a female saiyan I bet it'll be pretty strong…."

"NO!!" ChiChi said, "How could you even think that I would be with anyone but your father!!!!!"

"Ouch!" Gohan answered as he flinched. ChiChi had punched him.

Serena watched as her father ate his food as if it were going out of fashion. She however wasn't as happy as she usually was. King Kai noticed and decided to do something to cheer her up.

"Serena" King Kai answered as she looked up at him, still playing with her food via her spoon. "I've made a few arrangements, you can go finish your training with an old friend of mine, Supreme Kai, from there on you will be released back onto earth"

Serena smiled broadly, she flung her arms around King Kai. "Thank you so much King Kai"

"Dad did you hear that we're going home" Serena said excitedly, but her excitement stopped when noticed her father nodding his head. "Dad"

"I can't go, I'm dead remember" Goku answered

"Why not?" Serena begged

"Give your mom and Brother a big hug for me and tell them I love them with all my heart, and I'm sorry for what I put them through, and I'm sorry for not being there" Goku said "Do me proud"

"I will" Serena answered, "Will we ever see you again?"

"When we meet in the other world" Goku answered "King Kai when does she leave?"

"Now actually" a voice piped up from the sky.

"What?" Goku asked

"I'm ready" Serena piped up from her spot across the table. "How do I get there?"

"See that circle on the floor near the door" the voice commanded "Stand on it and you will automatically be transported here"

"Alright" Serena said getting to her feet and walking over to the spot.

"Remember to tell them how sorry I am" Goku said thankfully "I love you"

"I love you too" Serena answered "Daddy"

The Following Day

Gohan sat his desk in shock. The news he had been delivered last night were really a surprise. Videl was pretty much in the same shock. She remembered Gohan from years back, and he didn't remember her. She didn't know why it bothered her so much. After the moment she met him she had told him that they weren't meant to communicate.

Eraser sat beside Gohan. "You ok?"

"Yeah" Gohan answered quietly

Eraser moved to Videl. "You ok?" she repeated

"Yeah" Videl answered looking at the locket in her hands. "Where are Tiffany and Jo?"

"What about us?" Sharpner and Marker spoke up as they walked towards the small group.

"Forget them" Jo said walking up and placing her bag on the table. "Was a heck of a party yesterday wasn't it?"

"Yes it was, thank you very much" Videl said thankfully

Tiffany sat down starry eyed. She sighed. She began to sing to herself softly. "In places no one will find, all your feelings so deep inside, Was then there I realised, that forever was in your eyes, the moment I saw you cry"

Marker and Eraser looked over to Tiffany, who out of the blue had just begun to sing.

"You guys all set for the competition next week?" Eraser said changing conversation. This caused Tiffany to sit up straight.

"Oh my god, the competition, my moms gonna kill me" Tiffany said grabbing her bag off the table and reaching for her music book. "That's what my mom meant by I hope you practice a lot and are all ready for Friday night"

"OH shi-shish kebab" Jo said upon realisation of what she was about to say.

"Damnit" Tiffany answered, "Gohan, we need your voice…Videl I know you can play guitar and that you can sing, and whether you say yes or no you're in too"

"Tiffany no" Videl groaned "I'm not into performing you know that"

"Yeah you are" Tiffany answered "Come on please…we need another guitarist and another voice"

"But Tiffanyyyyyyyyyyy" Videl groaned even louder.

"Please Vi?" Tiffany begged "We have seven days to rehearse and your not gonna make me bring in Eraser are you"

"Oh alright" Videl answered reluctantly "I'll do it"

Meanwhile in the land O Kai's

Serena wiped the sweat off her forehead. She held the sword up and smiled. This was it, time in the land of the kai's past a lot quicker then that on earth. It felt like she'd been here for a week.

There was an applause. Which caused Serena to turn around to come face to face with two figures. One was Kabito and the other was Supreme Kai his white mowhawk brushed back.

She smiled. "Can I go home yet?"

"What do you think master?" Kabitu asked

"You have been training very hard and I don't see any harm in you returning to your home" Supreme Kai said as he walked over to his student. He raised his hands above her above her body, and concentrated. Her outfit was torn at all sides.

Within a few seconds, she was out of her training gi. And she was wearing a pair of black denim ¾ pants with a chain around her waist. Spiked cufflinks around her rist. Her hair was up in a high ponytail, and her t-shirt was black and torn at the sleeves and said 'Today's not your Day'

"Kibitu could you please take her to her home in the city " Supreme Kai said

"Um…something is wrong there, I live in the country" Serena answered

"Not anymore" Supreme Kai answered as Kibitu touched her shoulder and the duo disappeared. They reappeared at the front of the Son and Satan household.

"Remember" Kibitu said "Keep this sword with you, it will help in the future" HE handed over the Z sword to her.

"Thank you"

"Good luck" and with that he vanished.

Serena smiled as she walked into the front yard of the house. She knocked on the door. And waited. She heard footsteps reach the door and unlock it. She came face to face with a woman with long black hair. IT down her back.

She gulped nervously. "Mom?"

Lady Lunic: I actually kinda like this chapter; I'm trying to think of what else I can do with this so any ideas are greatly appreciated. I'd like to apologise for the lateness of this school has been hectic and I've had other things on my mind. I've decided that I should have a few people to help me with most of my fics, in the way of spelling grammar and possibly storylines etc, for this fic and most of my others. If any body is interested just tell me so in the review, I would love to hear from you.

Also just to clear things up, the competition and concert I mentioned in chapter six I think it was are the same things.

Here are the answers to your reviews.

Cold-eyes-for-you: To tell the truth the idea's I get are either when im class and coughs not falling asleep insert shifty eyes or just when im talking to my sis Frying Pan of Doom, you'd be amazed at the convo's we have and the idea's that we come up with. But im glad you like this story. If you have any idea's I'd be really glad to hear them.

Lunas Meow: Serena was actually by my sis, she begged (if I remember the phone call properly) me to put her in, or maybe she just brought it up in not sure. But yer, she had a few good idea's and they seemed good to me too so yer, I was actually thinking of giving Gohan a sister in my early fics but calling her Keiko or something cos I like that name lol. Glad you like the fic.

Gohangirl7711: Glad you like it, I've checked out some of your fics and I love them, but yours are better then mine. Remember to stick around lol.

Shadowed Rains: I could hug you hugglez my word for hugz. Yes go the short chapter, lol I just find it hard to find the time to write up the chapters, but yer…..thank youoooooooooooooooo for not minding.

Frying Pan of Doom: No the locket is not from Sailor Moon. However I do have this thing in all my fics that the locket looks like it is. Besides I wrote the last chapter up in an hour or so. But yer.

HeartillyAngel: Hmm fresh meat…. droolz lol just joking. But yer glad you like my writing. Suspense??? I didn't notice it had any.

JsinuYasha: I'm glad that you like my work. And thank you for your comment. However sadly I don't update that frequently no more I try to update every week, but I don't think its working lol. But I will keep it up I promise.

Also I am considering of instead of having a sequel. (It still may happen) I'll have this fic divided into saga's. The on you are reading now is 'The High School Saga' your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Love ya all heaps.
