Chapter 3

THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS!!! IT MADE ME WRITE MORE!

Sorry guys, it turned out the chapter was way too long so I cut it into two. So Goten and Bra will have to wait until the next chapter.

Disclaimer: look at first chappy 

Fate does it's thing…

'I can't believe that BASTARD! And here I thought he could actually be decent!' Videl scowls, pacing back and forth in her hotel, Erasa watching her by the couch, eating a gallon of ice cream in hand.

'Videl glares at her friend and let's a growl of frustration escape her mouth. 'I don't get what you or every girl sees in that jack ass! He thinks he's all that and he asked me to go to his place when I don't even know him!' Videl slumped down on the couch, crossing her arms stubbornly.

Erasa hands Videl the ice cream. 'Here Videl, eat this. Trust me it'll make you feel better. But not too much, you'll gain like ten pounds.'

Hesitantly, Videl begins to scoop the ice cream into her mouth, her mind still pissed and angry at Gohan Briefs. Erasa can clearly see the scowl on her friend's face and begins to worry. Videl never fusses about any guy, not this much. Shaking her head, Erasa thinks of a way to cheer her friend up.

'Hey Videl, you need to get some rest you know. Forget about today. How about we go shopping tomorrow?' Erasa squeals brightly with a hopeful look, Videl looks at her with a pout. After stuffing a huge spoon full of ice cream, Videl says 'Erasa, I don't like shopping.' She stuffs another mouthful. 'And besides, I wouldn't want to go out anywhere tomorrow. Not with all those tabloids and reporters out to get me.'

Videl scoops a mountain sized mint chocolate chip in her mouth and swallows miserably, Erasa starred at her wide eyed. 'I hate this! How much you want to bet me tomorrow's headlines will include something about me being a bitch striking some jack ass in Bra's party?' She scoops again but Erasa grabs it before she was able to swallow.

'I think you've had enough fat for the day Videl.'

'But I-

'NO!' Erasa snaps, closing the lid on her ice cream and shooing Videl off the couch. 'Now go get some sleep you big baby, maybe we can go the the park- OH MY GOD!' Erasa shrieks, clamping both her hands on her mouth. Videl turns to her worriedly. 'What? What's wrong Erasa?'

The blonde turns to her wide eyed then squeaks a reply. 'Your dad promised your old school you'd come for a visit tomorrow.'

Videl's eyes widened, then narrows dangerously. 'What?! Orang Star?' Erasa nods at her sheepishly. Videl crossed her arms stubbornly. 'Well too bad I'm not going.'

'Videl you have to go, your dad promised all those kids you'd come. You can't break their hearts.'

Videl just storms to her room and falls on her bed, burying her head under a pile of pillows, Erasa trailing behind her quietly. 'Kids? They're not kids, they're teens. Orange Star is a highschool Erasa, we went there together you air head.' Videl mumbles from under the covers.

'Not anymore. Orange Star is a grade school and high school now. So there'll be little kindergarteners who'll be expecting you. You have to go, or you'll break their little hearts,' Erasa replies sweetly, loving how annoyed it made Videl.

She growled angrily and shouted 'FINE!'

-Great! I can't wait until tomorrow-

Gohan's place….

Gohan was laying on the sofa on his stomach, David on the floor with his back resting on the couch, a bowl of popcorn in hand, they were watching The Ring on T.V.

David snickered, throwing a popcorn at his friend. 'You are so messed up bro. How could you blow it off with VIDEL SATAN?! Twice!'

Gohan growls lowly, turning on the couch so that he rested on his back. 'I didn't blow it, okay. I asked her if she wanted to go with me and she practically yelled at me! She thought I was trying to get under her pants.'

'Which you were,' snickers David with a jolly grin, popping a pop corn in his mouth.

'NO! Don't tell me a girl actually refused Gohan Briefs? Someone turned down my big brother? The world is coming to an END!' Bra adds upon entering the room. David and her laugh at the pathetic pout on Gohan's face.

'Shut up guys. It's not like you guys haven't been denied by a girl before,' Gohan retorts knowingly. Bra walks over to her brother, taking his shoes and socks off so he could be more comfortable before sitting down beside David and grabbing the pop corn bowl. 'Gohan you're a grown man now. Do I still have to take your shoes off for you?' Bra says smugly, popping a pop corn in her mouth while David glares at her. 'And besides, I have NEVER been denied by a girl before. I don't swing that way bro.' Bra continues, glancing wide eyed at the screen. David took this opportunity to snatch back his pop corn with a jolly smile.

'I have, but very rarely.' David says proudly. 'But that's just me. You always get your girl Gohan. Well except the ones that matter, like Lime or Videl…..or even Jamie.'

Bra's eyes widened, elbowing David on the ribs hard. Realizing what he just said, David quickly changed the subject. 'So why couldn't you get Videl?'

Bra looks away from the screen and to her brother. 'Who are we talking about anyway? Videl? Videl Satan?'

Gohan and David nodded.

'Wow, you're over Lime already? Speaking of which can I please, PLEASE destroy her? I want to spread a rumor so bad for what she did to you.' Bra adds pleadingly complete with the famous puppy dog pout.

Gohan turned away before he could get caught in the spell of the famous Bra pout. 'No Bra, you can't. I'm not over Lime yet. So you can't destroy her.'

'Destroy who?' Sarah asks, closing the door behind her and sliding down beside Bra, grabbing a hand full of pop corn and chucking it in her mouth.

'Lime! We're talking about breaking her,' Bra says cheerfully.

'No we're not,' Gohan bites back groggily. 'Damn I need some sleep, I feel drunk and dizzy. I didn't even drink a lot did I?' He swings his foot to the side, knocking David on the face. 'OW! Man watch your feet!' He yelps.

'Sorry. Alright guys, I'll retire now. My head hurts, too much alcohol.' Gohan says to them, reaching for some pop corn and getting up to his feet.

David snickers while rubbing the lump on his head courtesy of Gohan's foot. 'You sure it's because of too much alcohol? I think it's from the wittle baby punch wittle Videl gave your wittle head.' The three laughs but scowls suddenly when Gohan stuffed popcorn on all of their shirts.

'GOHAN!' Sarah yells, slapping her head upside the head. Bra follows her example. 'Just for that you don't get a good night kiss from me big bro,' She snapped playfully, turning her back to her brother and facing the television. But what the screen showed scared the bajesus out of her, and on instinct only she jumps into the safety of her brother's arms with a squeal.

'OH MY GOD! GOHAN HELP! THAT GIRL IS COMING OUT OF THE FUCKING TELEVISION!' She screams in panic, shutting her eyes and burying her head in her brother's chest and covering both her ears with her hands. She hears a snicker from above her and opens her eyes, glaring at the amused expression on Gohan's face.

'And why are YOU laughing?'

Gohan shakes his head. 'This reminds me about when we were younger. You always jumped up to me when you were scared. Even against dad.'

Bra grins sheepishly. 'Oh yeah, I do do that don't I?' She jumps down from Gohan's arms and gives her big brother a huge hug. 'And you always get beat up by daddy for protecting me. He says you treat me like a baby.'

'You have no idea how much it hurts to get Vegeta's beating. You're lucky you have me to take yours kiddo,' Gohan says with a smile. Bra reaches on her tippy toes and gives him a good night kiss on the cheeks. 'Good night G.'

'G'night B, don't stay up too late okay. You don't get enough sleep as it is.' Gohan says about to turn away when Sarah calls him back. 'I forgot to tell you Gohan, you have to pick your nephew up from school tomorrow because he wants to spend some time with you after.'

Gohan blinks. 'Who? Gale?'

Sarah nods without tearing her eyes from the screen.

'Orange Star right?'

'Yup. That's the school!'

'Alright, I haven't seen him in what, 6 months now. Gosh, I wonder if he still remembers me.' Gohan ponders, unconsciously scratching his belly.

Bra laughs. 'Are you kidding me? He thinks you're cool uncle Prince. I really don't know what he sees in you. Hmm…maybe I'll go with you. I haven't seen him in a long time too you know.'

David and Sarah nod with a laugh. 'Oh yeah, your first name is Prince, I forgot about that.'

Gohan growled, stuffing a handful of popcorn in Bra's opened mouth as she stared wide eyed at the television. 'Yeah, yeah so what if that is my first name? Bra's first name is Princess you know.'

David and Sarah looked at each other then at Bra. 'Why are you guys named like that? I remember calling you guys Prince and Princess when we were younger because you guys were rich. I forgot those were your real names.'

Bra shrugs, chewing and swallowing frantically. 'I don't know exactly. I think it's because daddy said we're royalty of a very powerful race once. He's very prideful of our race. I forgot what it was though, saiyorns or something. But who cares, they're all dead now.'

'Saiyans Bra.' Gohan adds, shaking his head. 'If dad found out you forgot even I won't be able to protect you from him. So tomorrow we'll go together okay Bra. Good night guys.'

'Night Go-AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT! THAT GIRL IS SCARY!' Gohan laughs, heading for his room when he heard Bra say 'David, get off me.' He snickers childishly again before falling on his bed for some shut eye. Maybe tomorrow wont be so bad. Besides, he'll see Gale again.

In Gohan's dream….

He stood alone in a dark hallway, staring blankly at the white wall in front of him. It was so cold, yet there was no breeze blowing from any direction. He felt so alone, so empty, so…….incomplete.

Slowly, he staggered down the dark hallway like a drunken man, towards a faint light that was shinning through the small cracks of a door at his side. He carefully turned the cold doorknob until he heard the faint click that would allow his entry, he swung the door open and cautiously stepped in. For a moment, a bright white light blinded his sight, which by now was fading away, slowly. Through squinted eyes, he could spot a woman's figure standing only a few feet in front of him. When the white lights' effect on his eyes completely faded off, his mouth fell open in shock. The woman was about a head shorter than him, with flowing silky black hair and green eyes. A warm smile graced her rosy, full lips, brightening her face tremendously. She was a beautiful angel. Gohan's smile widened, before he lunged for the woman, wrapping his powerful arms around her protectively and raising her off her feet, burying his head on her chest.

'Jamie! I missed you so much,' Gohan sobbed, his eyes watering. He felt her hands run through his spiky black locks, loving every second of it he tightened his embrace on her small body.

'I missed you too, Gohan.' She said softly, a whisper to his ear. Gohan set her down gently as if she was a prized glass doll, and looked her over with a genuine smile. Looking up to her green, questioning eyes he smiled even wider and gripped her in the tightest hug he could give without crushing her bones.

'Gohan,' Jamie wheezed from his embrace, turning purple without air. 'You're crushing me.'

He quickly released her, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. 'This is amazing! How'd you get here Jamie?'

She surveyed him a bit more, cupping his cheeks with her small hands lovingly. 'Look how handsome you are! You sure have grown a lot,' she said with a smile, earning a blush from the demi-saiyan. She turned to her side, then pulled someone out that made Gohan's eyes widen even more. 'Lime?'

The girl smiled and jumped into his arms, kissing his cheeks. 'Gohan, I've missed you.'

He said nothing, only cherishing the feeling of her body in his embrace once again, happy that he had the two precious girls back in his life. 'Lime, I thought you didn't want to be with me?'

The girl shook her head, jumping out of his embrace and standing by Jamie's side. 'You thought wrong Gohan,' she replied softly.

'Gohan always remember we love you. Don't ever forget that.' Jamie said softly, her voice sounded so far away to him. Gohan nodded dumbly. 'I'll miss you again, Gohan..' Jamie continued, her voice sounding even farther than it already was. Gohan blinked, staring confused at the two girls he loved so much besides his sister and mother.

'Miss me again?' Gohan repeated confused. 'What do you mean Jamie? I'm not going anywhere.'

Jamie and Lime smiled sadly at him, slowly floating back to blend in with the shadows. 'But we are….' Jamie's voice echoed, it sounded like a faint whisper now. Angry and nervous, Gohan ran for them desperately. But the faster her ran, the farther they got. His eyes widened in fear as realization dawned on him. He was going to lose them…….again.

Running as fast as his feet would carry him, Gohan scrambled on with out-stretched arms, his eyes began to tear, the feeling he got from losing them before came flooding back to him with twice its ferocity. There images were getting smaller and smaller, he was losing time. No, he cant lose them, not again.

'Jamie! Lime!' He cried desperately, rage boiling in his blood, the adrenaline rush pushing his legs to move even faster until he was bathed in this ethereal golden glow, carrying him close enough to see the sad smiles on their faces. He stretched out to touch Jamie's cheeks, to feel their soft, warm texture once again. Maybe, just maybe if he could hang on, they wont disappear, not again…

'Remember me Gohan…..'

End dream….

'JAMIE!!!' Gohan jolted up in bed as if he was electrocuted, his body wracking and heaving, covered in his own downpour of sweat. His shirt clinged tightly on his skin, which strangely began to burn. Steam was slowly rising from his clothes, from his bed sheets as the temperature suddenly rose noticeably.

Gohan quickly peeled his shirt off and threw it, landing on the floor as a pool of white. He stood up hastily, the golden glow in his dream seemed to be following him, surrounding him even. Quickly, he dashed to the washroom in his pajamas. He turned the tap on with a squeak and washed his face with the cold, painful liquid. He drowned his body in it also, hoping to cool himself down, the glow slowly fading into the air as if it wasn't there in the first place.

He dried himself after shutting the tap, careful not to burn his towel and glanced at his reflection. 'It was only a dream. Too good to be true….,' he whispers to himself sadly. How could he have been so blind not to see it was a dream? Why was it that his dreams always seemed to want to reawaken the pain he felt when he lost her? Was he being punished by someone?

Gohan walked back to his bed and lay down on his stomach; although it felt very hot he ignored the scorching sensation on his skin. He was too tired to care anyway…

It's been so long since it happened. So long since he's seen her smile, heard her laugh and felt her embrace, a real embrace not some fantasy in a dream. His arms longed to be completed, his heart ached to be healed. back to me- His eyes closed shut, drifting into a more peaceful sleep with the image of a gorgeous woman with long, flowing raven hair and purple eyes, Videl.

Bra worriedly stormed her brother's room in panic, her eyes frantically searching for Gohan. She had heard him shout Jamie all the way from her room and wanted to make sure he was alright. Her face softened when she found what she was looking for. Bra quietly padded her way to her brother, climbing on the surprisingly very warm bed. It felt like someone had just run a hot iron through the sheets. With great astounding effort, she was able to haul her brother on a better position on the bed, placing a pillow under his head. She brushed her brother's spiky locks lovingly, surveying the pained expression on Gohan's youthful face. She felt sad and angry at the world for doing this to him. He didn't deserve any of it.

Bra ran her hand down his chiseled, sweaty back and got up to the washroom. Grabbing the towel laying on the countertop, she returned to the bed and began to wipe the sweat off his back, just incase Gohan got sick. Although her brother never got sick, she was always the one who made sure he was healthy. Besides, he's the most precious gift she's ever received. Bra chuckled when a soft purr came from his mouth, discarding the now soaked up towel she laid down beside him and watched him sleep like a toddler. Bra sighed. Things would definitely be different if Jamie was still here. Her brother would be back to how he was before, happy, outgoing and respectful, not what he is now. After losing Jamie, he became so depressed suicide had become a sensible choice for him. Luckily, Lime cane in the picture just in time. It looked good for sometime, and even though Bra despised Lime, she was happy to see her brother happy again. But it didn't last. Once again, Gohan lost someone he cared about deeply, and it made him who he is now.

He's still very nice, sure. But he became a player, a bed roamer, looking for moments pleasure since he couldn't find one that would last. If only Jamie wasn't taken away, if only Like didn't leave him….if only he found someone else who deserves his love and loves him back for who he is. If only…..

Videl rises up from her bed, once again waking earlier than her damned alarm clock. Waste of money, that's what that damned contraption is. She walks out of her room with a tired yawn and pads to the kitchen for some coffee. Yup, that sounded really nice. Only seconds pass by when the usual, pleasant silence of the morning was destroyed.

'HEY! Good you're up Videl. Get dressed or we'll be late!' Erasa bubble happily, Videl gives her a weird stare.

'I don't know ho you manage to be so happy all the time Erasa. Did you finish my coffee? And how are we going to be late? It starts at 12 and its only,' Videl pauses staring wide-eyed at the clock.

'If I'm not mistaken, the clock says 11:30,' Erasa adds sarcastically. Videl blinks.-wow…so it wasn't a dream when I smashed my alarm clock?- She gloomily walks over to the bathroom to take a shower for the day ahead…….how wonderful.

WAKE!! WAKE!!!!! WAKE!!!!!! SMACK!!!

Gohan groaned, opening his heavy eyelids and stretching his cramped muscles. A cheerful yawn escapes his lips as he unconsciously scratches his belly. He felt unusually happy today, and it felt weird to him. Looking at his side, Bra was sleeping soundly with her arms under her head, a smile on her pretty face that made Gohan smile too. He kissed her cheeks softly, which woke the blue haired princess from her sleep. She smiles brightly at him.

'And the princess wakes up from her slumber thanks to Prince Charming's kiss.' Bra says cheerfully, rubbing the sleep off her eyes. Gohan chuckles at her. 'I'm sorry miss, but you have me confused with some one else. My name is Prince Gohan Bryan Briefs, not this Charming dude.'

Bra growls, climbing over his brother. 'How'd you sleep bro?' She asked him worriedly, tracing every curve and crevis on Gohans' perfectly sculpted body with her finger. She smoothed over every rock hard abs on his warm stomach, then traced her fingers over his well defined chest that she found served as good pillows over the years.

Gohan ponders on the question, remembering only dreaming about Videl last night. He smiles.- What's up with that?- 'Fine.'

Bra sighed. 'Why can't any of the guys I date have a body like yours?' She whines. Gohan raises a brow. 'Sis, you're starting to scare me.' He whispers worriedly.

Bra's eyes widened. 'EWWW!!! GOHAN NO! That's disgusting!' Gohan laughs at her as Bra rolls off and falls back on the bed. 'You better get ready or we'll be late for Gale. We're going early to surprise him.' Gohan nods and heads for a shower. YAY!

'So why am I going again?'

Erasa rolled her eyes, twirling a strand of her curly blonde hair around one finger. For the past ten minutes of their drive to Orange Star, Videl's been asking the same question over and over again and Erasa explained it over and over again.- God and people think I'm stupid-

'Did you say something Erasa?'

'NO!' she snaps at Videl, who narrowed her eyes. Sighing, she grabbed her compact and reapplied her make up once again….staying pretty is hard work. 'I'll tell you one last time Videl. You are going to Orange Star BECAUSE your father made a promise to the school where everyone would be expecting you. It's mainly for publicity I guess.'

Videl growls as Erasa shuts her compact close and stores it back in her purse. The limo reaches into a stop, quickly surrounded by screaming and crazy teenagers banging on her window. 'Ready to go?'

Videl rolls her eyes. Like she had a choice? Giving another "I-hate-my-life" sigh, Videl steps out of her car after Erasa, immediately bombarded with flashing cameras, horny teen age men and young wanna-be women shouting and screaming her name. If it wasn't for the line of body guards that pushed those kids back, Videl would've been torn to shreds and sold on eBAY by now. Being a celebrity is hard work……

ALRIGHT! Well this is just kind off a bridge to the next chapter. If I put it together it would've been way too long. Jamie would be described more in the story soon. And on the next Chapter Bra and Goten will meet for sure, and Gohan and Videl of course!!!! They'll meet in highschool!!! Wow…LOL…and and AND CUPID MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE!! Well Review please if you want me to go on….thank you !
