ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 7…I think

………and YOU AGAIN?!

Next morning….

Videl dashed to the kitchen clad in a white hooded sweatshirt, grabbed the keys to her dad's hummer and was about to head out when Hercule's voice stopped her.

'And where are YOU going, young lady? Not to meet some guy I hope.'

Videl sighed, rolling her eyes. Yeah right, she's here only been here for a day and she already has some guy on her heels…..it's like he doesn't even know his own daughter by now. 'No dad. I have a little less than a week before I have to start on that movie so I decided to head for the Satan City gym to work out some sweat. I won't have time for that once I start the film.'

Hercule beamed up proudly. 'That's my girl! But I'm sorry sweat pea, Satan gym is closed today.'

Videl blinked. 'Why?'

Hercule sat down on a chair and opened the newspaper from the table, taking a sip from his coffee before turning to Videl and pointing his finger at his chest. 'I, need a break. You see, I am still here, sitting in my kitchen and drinking coffee. You can go to Capsule Corp. Gym. It's way bigger anyway.'

Videl hesitated but went anyway so her father won't suspect anything. Besides, Gohan IS NOT in Japan, he's in America. Surely she won't see him in his parent's gym…..(a/n: MWUAHAHHAHAH! I DON'T THINK SO!!)

Gohan opened his eyes, stretching his cramped limbs; a deep yawn escaped his lips. He'd forgotten how good it felt sleeping in this bed really is. Rubbing the sleep off his eyes, he padded to the washroom for a shower. He needed something to wake him up, to feel alive again. –I know! I'll go to the gym for a workout. That'll get me started.-

After ten minutes, Gohan closed the shower and stepped out into the foggy bathroom. He wiped his body dry, but left his midnight hair damp and got dressed in a white muscle top and black track pants with white and black boots.

Quietly, he padded to the kitchen where the source of an intoxicating aroma was placed. He smiled, seeing three maids preparing his breakfast. Gohan sat down on the chair and heard a chuckle from behind.

'I bet you were relieved to see them cooking your food, not me.' Bulma said, sitting down beside her son, coffee in hand. Gohan snickered lightly at her. 'You're a genius mom, that's why you can't cook for your life. You can't have both.'

Bulma smacked him on the head and laughed. 'Not true, in fact I know someone who can cook really well and isn't exactly stupid, don't know about her husband though.' She eyed her son attentively and grinned. 'You look good, where are you going? You know I hear you're a heart-breaker Prince, YOU know how much I HATE heart-breakers! I don't want you being just like your father.'

Gohan grinned mischievously at her, his stomach growling with impatience and aching to be fed. 'But you like dad that way, and besides, you got a leash on him! I'm just waiting for someone to put a leash on me.'

Bulma straightened with pride, not many women can say they tamed the great saiyan prince! 'Damn right I did! Still, where are you going?'

'C.C. Gym.'

Bulma nodded. 'Okay, just be here before lunch time because I'll be having guests. What the hell am I worried about, you'll never miss lunch.'

Gohan chuckled lightly, drooling as his food, more like feast, was placed before him. Wasting no time, he chowed down and attacked with passion. Bulma turned green.

'Wreary? Wrhos croming?'

'Chew, Prince. Just my best friend Chi-chi and her family. I think you were too young to remember them but they came to your first birthday party. She has a son from America too, who just came by for a short visit the same day as you.'

Gohan nodded, swallowing down his food. Just like that, 37 bowls were gone…out of sight…never to be seen again. Patting his stomach satisfied, Gohan kissed his mom on the cheek before heading out. 'Alright mom, be back for lunch!'

Videl strolled down the halls, her gym bag hanging on her shoulder. She followed the small arrows that led to a huge gymnasium, at least four times larger than Satan City Gym. She pushed the door of the ladies change room open and went inside, just as Gohan entered the gym.

He breathed in, confused at the scent that attacked his nose. Usually a gym smelled like sweaty pigs, but this smell was sweet, feminine…….and shockingly familiar. He maneuvered his way to the change room door, so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that the door was pink, and gave it a little push….. (a/n: AH-oh! DANGER!)

-I know I remember that smell from somewhere-

'AHHHHHHHH!!! GOHANNN?!!' Videl shrieked, immediately wrapping her arms around her body. Her face turned pink automatically. Gohan's eyes widened, his jaw dropped to the floor, his cheeks flushed. 'VIDEL?!'

He shivered at the intense glare radiating from Videl's slit red eyes, and scrambled out the doors, something hard had smashed on the other side of the door, something that she intended to smash on his face most definitely. He sighed, his cheeks felt like they were burning. –So that's why the scent was so familiar…Videl. Wow….she looked really- Ahhhhh! Gohan you're starting to act like Master Roshi! Bad thoughts!- He sighed, staring blankly at the wood that stood in between him and a crazy woman throwing more solid items at the door all the while screaming curses in languages Gohan couldn't even begin to comprehend. He shook his head, fighting the heated blush that crawled to his cheek when Videl's naked image flashed again.

-By the way things are going, I'm starting to think someone's setting Videl and I up?!! Dende….-

Gohan wisely decided to retreat to the BOYS change room this time, just incase Videl comes out and tears his head off his shoulders. She sounded ready to kill…

Videl poked her head out, searching with narrowed eyes for a certain dead man. –Where is that bastard?! I knew it! That guy's been taking advantage of me all this time.-

Clear, he wasn't anywhere in sight. Damn, she needed to let her anger out on someone! Videl stomped over to the punching bags, now clad in her usual white baggy shirt and black shorts, her hair tied up in pig tails. Clenching her fist, she began her vicious, animalistic, merciless, barbaric, attack on the innocent brown bag of sand……poor poor innocent bag of sand.

Gohan braced himself as he emerged from the change room, blinking in surprise that Videl wasn't waiting outside the door to rip him to shreds. The gym sounded unusually silent, except for the angry pounding sounds that vibrated in the room. He turned, sweat dropping, as people quickly packed up, in a hurry to get away from the insane lady. Two men with bottles in hand passed by Gohan. 'I sure feel sorry for this Gohan guy, she's growling "DIE GOHAN" for every punch she's giving that bag.'

Gohan paled. 'Feel sorry for the guy? I feel sorry for the bag!' said another, exiting the gym. –Ugh….I cant believe this is happening. Why is she here anyway? Dende I SWEAR if you're doing this I will roast your green ass over a fire, slowly and painfully!-

Hesitantly, he made his way over to the other bags as quietly as possible. He eyed the bag Videl was beating senselessly and imagined his face on it, he paled. Gohan turned back to the bag in front of him and the image of Videl partially naked quickly flashed in his head. He shook his head violently. –God, I need Lime.-

He sighed and jabbed the bag lightly, but it flew off it's hinges and slammed on the wall in a puff of sand. His eyes widened, the sound of Videl's punching had stopped, Gohan sweat dropped. –Oh no-

She stopped, hearing something brake off and turned to the source of the sound. She said nothing, her eyes too busy scanning Gohan. He wore a white muscle top that exposed his powerful, defined arms and outlined his buffed, muscled upper body. His track pants were baggy, but tight enough that she could sculp his lean limbs with her eyes, and his butt, oh god his butt…..

Her cheeks burned and she flushed, hearing him clear his throat nervously. 'Videl, a-are you…err….uhmm..okay? You look very, red.'

She hung her head and turned to face her bag, attempting to hide her blush. –Videl, get a grip girl!-

She cleared her throat and shook her thoughts. 'I- I'm….just -breathe- fine.' He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. 'Uhmmm listen, I….I'm really sorry about that….thing.' He paused and looked down to his feet nervously, expecting her to blow up at him. 'I was kind of, lost in uhmmm…er..thought and I didn't –gulp- realize.'

She turned to face him but quickly turned back, her blush climbing back to her cheeks threateningly. She took a deep, shaky breathe and sighed, facing him again with a scowl on her face. 'Whatever.'

Her eyes automatically dropped down his length, and she turned quickly, shutting her eyes. She huffed and stomped over to the center ring, unaware that Gohan followed her.

'No, really I am sorry.' Gohan tried to say. 'I guess I probably look like-

-A perverted Jack ass- Videl thought with a smirk.

-a perverted jack ass to you but I really am not.' He continued. She turned to face him, her eyes quickly trying to avoid his eyes darted instinctively down to his crotch. Her eyes widened for a moment then quickly shut, biting her lower lip. –Oh My Kami! I cant believe I just looked at his crotch!-

-stop acting like you didn't mean it Videl. Those are your eyes, they don't move on their own-

-YES they do! My eyes are POSSESSED!-

-are you trying to tell me you didn't WANT to check him out?-

-YES! Well…..maybe a little bit because he's…..forget it.-

-awww, you like him!-

-WHAT?! NO! Who are you anyway?!-

-I'm YOU, stupid. And yes, you do-

-NO! I DON'T!-

-yeah….uh-huh-

-…….you don't believe me-

-of course not, I can actually tell if I'm lying.-

-nuh-uh!-

-sure, keep saying that and MAYBE it'll come true. Trust me, you, me,-whatever! You got it bad!-

-Whatever…-

'Videl, are you there?'

She shook her head to clear her thoughts. Then looked up at him, but he turned away, his cheeks flushed red. Videl blinked, then smirked. –Was he blushing at me?-

'Like I was….er….trying to say. I should make it up to you, lunch maybe? BUT only if you want, I don't want to force you into anything.' He gulped nervously as her eyes scrutinized him, then sighed in relief when she just nodded. 'Alright, lunch is fine. But I'll only go if you fight me!'

Gohan looked at her with wide eyes, raising a finger to carefully point out that it may not be a good idea but he never got the chance. Before he could utter a single syllable, Videl's fist flew to his face, he ducked just in time with a surprised squeak. 'VIDEL! Do we have to result to physical violence?!' he breathed, sidestepping out of her kick and jumping up when she attempted to sweep kick him behind the heels.

'Why? You want to resort to verbal violence? Because I can do both!' She growled, drawing her fist back and charging again with a furry.

Gohan noticed her sudden increase in speed, and carefully analyzed the situation to see how he could pin her down without hurting her, all the while avoiding her flying fists of iron. 'No! Please, cant we have a friendly conversation?'

'We will! Once you beat me, we'll have a FRIENDLY conversation at lunch. I don't like guys, Gohan. They're heartless jackasses.' She snapped at him, her feet swished to his side, managing to graze his shirt slightly then followed with a roundhouse. To her amazement, he dodged everything! None of her attacks seemed to hit! IMPOSSIBLE! Even Hercule couldn't do that, and he is the greatest martial artist in the world.

Gohan back flipped out of her reach and landed gracefully on his feet with cat like grace. He waved his arms in forfeit. 'Not all guys Videl. Maybe just the once you've met. I really have no problem if….errr…you are attracted to the same sex….ehehe…whatever makes you happy.'

Videl's eyebrows twitched dangerously, her mouth slightly open. She was stunned at how quick and precise his movements were. AND the fact that he had the guts to call her a LESBIAN! Feeling angry at herself, she ran after him with a vengeance. ' YOU are in for a WORLD OF PAIN MISTER!'

He squeaked in fear, seeing the fire in her eyes as she charged. He planted his feet firmly and stood his ground, bracing himself. –Almost there………….NOW-

Just as Videl's leg was about to crunch his face into a soda pop can, he ducked out of the way, took hold of both her arms and turned it to her stomach. He lightly nudged her feet that caused her to fall forward in surprise, taking Gohan with her.

They landed on top of each other with a thud, as a pile of fidgeting limbs. 'Gohan, GET OFF!' Videl thundered angrily, trying in vein to push him off of her. Gohan flushed, her hands were unconsciously rubbing on his chest. He shook his thoughts desperately. 'Not until you promise to calm down.'

She growled, considering just kneeing him at that special spot but decided against it. For once in her life, she chose to calm down instead of blow her top. Besides, having this hard warm body press against her isn't so bad. Although, it would be better if he wasn't so DAMN heavy. She smirked inwardly, nope not bad at all. BUT hey, a girl's got to keep her dignity you know. Taking a deep breathe, she relaxed her body, resting her head on Gohan's neck. She sniffed and grinned, it smelled just like his white sweatshirt that she by the way, still has.

Gohan released his hold on her, getting to his feet while fighting futile against the blush that just won't go away. –Calm down boy, she doesn't like you that way! Stop oogling her will ya!-

He extended his hand but Videl slapped it away, jumping to her feet on her own. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and tried to smile, but ended up giving a goofy grin instead. She rolled her eyes at him.

'Er..so I guess I owe you lunch…huh.' He said weakly. Videl placed her hands on her waist and turned away. 'Whatever. You DIDN'T beat me, but I am hungry.'

Gohan merely nodded at her with a faint smile and told her that he'll be waiting outside of the women's change room so she could change into better clothes. After, they made their way over to California Pizza Chicken and took the table by the window. Gohan moved to pull Videl's chair so she could sit down but her glare told him differently. He wisely took his own seat and they scanned their menu in silence.

Videl grinned behind her menu. –Alright buddy, you want to make it up to me? I'll order so much food even you'll go bankrupt-

A beautiful lady with long red hair came up to them with a brilliant smile, her eyes suddenly glued to Gohan, her smile widening ten folds. Videl rolled her eyes at this while wondering just how clueless Gohan really is. 'Hello! Welcome to California Pizza Chicken, are you guys ready to order?'

Gohan and Videl closed their menu and placed it down on the table at the same time. 'You ready Videl?' She smirked at herself but smiled sweetly on the outside, maybe a little too sweet because Gohan made a face at her. –bastard- 'Yes, I'm ready. I'm actually very hungry Gohan, I hope you don't mind if I order a lot.'

He blinked then shrugged. 'Sure, I don't mind Videl.' She smiled, clearing her throat loudly.-sucker!- 'I want three EXTRA large pepperoni pizza's and three large vegetarians.'

The lady, who still had her eyes glued on Gohan nodded at her plainly, scribbling some stuff on her notepad. 'And what would it be for you –

'Actually, can you add 4 bowls of salad and fresh salmon, well done. OH and can I also have a big plate of spaghetti? Italian.' Videl interrupted with a sweet smile. She glanced at Gohan, who was starring at his own hand at the table. She raised an eyebrow questioningly but her mouth fell open when she saw the waitress' hand caressing his palm. He looked up at Videl pleadingly, and she smirked at him. She enjoyed this torture, but something inside her told her to stop it. Somehow, she didn't like what that slut was doing.

She cleared her throat, making the lady jump back. 'Oh yes, sure madam. Would you want extra cheese for your pizza and croutons for your salad?'

'Only if it costs extra,' Videl sneered.

'And you young man?'

Gohan stared at Videl for a moment before shaking his head. 'Wow, Videl you are hungry.' She rolled her eyes and nodded. 'Order already Gohan.'

Not needing to be told a second time, he opened his mouth to order his food. To Videl's surprise, he ordered WAY more than she did! WAY WAY MORE! Her jaws unhinged and her eyes widened. –something is wrong with this guy!-

'…….and a big plate of lasagna.' Gohan finally said with a genuine smile. Videl and the waitress stared at him. 'Will that be all sir?'

Gohan shrugged. 'I think that'll be enough.' The waitress nodded shakily, taking their menu's and went her way, but not before dropping a napkin on Gohan's lap. Videl quirked an eyebrow and Gohan flushed, he picked up the napkin and threw it at the garbage. 'Hehe…just her phone number.'

Videl rolled her eyes. 'Do people do that to you all the time too? I swear people these days are sooo horny.'

Gohan sighed at her relaxed tone. At least she wasn't all fiery at him. 'Yeah, I guess it's something you just get used too.' She nodded. 'Right.' They shifted their weight on their chair, then played with their spoons in silence. They were both doing the same thing at the same time that it looked like a mirror image, people around them began to stare. freaky….

They looked at each other then turned away. 'Uhmm…geee…how's life been treating you Videl?'

'……fine. I guess.'

'Oh.'

A huge vein popped on Bulma's forehead. WHERE THE HELL IS GOHAN?! Her guests were already eating lunch at the table, conversing lightly about random subjects. Well the women were talking while Goku and Vegeta stuffed their faces with food. WHEN THAT BOY GETS BACK HE'S GONNA GET A BEATING FROM VEGETA!

Bulma sighed and dropped her fork, worry slipping into her body. Chi-chi noticed this and decided to get her best friends mind away from her son. 'So Bulma, I heard so much about your daughter Bra.'

Bulma looked up at her with a shocked smile. 'How'd you know about Bra, Chi? I don't think I ever told you about her before.'

Chi-chi laughed heartily. 'I know. I found out from my son Goten over here, he says they know each other.' Goten looked up from his plate and smiled briefly before attacking his food again. Chi-chi smacked him upside the head so that he'd slow down his pace and be "polite."

Bulma snickered, shaking her shock off. 'Oh really, well isn't that a coincidence! I wonder, do you know my older son Gohan?'

Goten chocked lightly, pounding his chest with his fist before drinking water to push it down. He flushed. 'I- I've heard about him from Bra but I never really met him before. I don't even know how he…er…looks like.'

The blue haired genius smiled. 'Well if HE gets back I'll introduce him to you. That young man is going to feel my wrath for being late, I'll make sure of it. I mean what could possibly be keeping him from lunch?'

She leaned to Vegeta's ear and whispered softly. 'GETA! Go get your son! I know you know where he is, you can sense his ki or whatever.'

Vegeta hissed at her. 'Not now Onna, cant you see I'm trying to win an eating contest with Kakarott here? (a/n: sorry, how do you spell Kakarott anyway? Kakarrot? Blah whatever…)

Bulma smirked, licking his earlobe with her tongue. 'If you do, I'll give you a reward at bed time.' She said seductively. Vegeta stopped eating and looked at her. 'Promise?'

She grinned. 'Of course my handsome Prince.' Vegeta smirked mischievously then got up and stomped out the door.'

Videl spat some of her food as she tried to suppress her laughter, her face red and out of breathe. 'Y- you didn't know?! HAHAHHA……well that is something I would've liked to see!'

Gohan blushed crimson. 'Well…if you were a guy and you didn't know your tailor was gay, you wouldn't find it funny the way he feels your legs and your…….'

Videl nodded, drinking her diet coke. She glanced at Gohan's plate and found everything empty and devoured, except a small pile of vegetables on the side. She looked up at him. 'How come you're not eating your vegetables?'

Gohan was zoned out for a while until her heard Videl's voice, he blinked. 'How do you know my father?'

'What?' Videl asked with an eyebrow raised. Gohan shook his head. 'Nothing, you were saying something Videl?'

'Never mind.'

They picked up their drink at the same time then looked at each other, Gohan placed his back on the table with a sheepish smile. 'Sorry. I don't know why you and I keep on doing the same things at the same time.'

Videl just nodded, taking a sip and placed her drink down. 'So Videl, anything embarrassing ever happened to you?'

Videl surveyed him questioningly for a moment, contemplating whether or not she could trust him. Actually, she was really surprised at Gohan. He doesn't seem so bad after all. It actually shocked them both at how much they have in common. Martial arts was one of the biggest thing they share. –That's why he was really good at dodging my attacks. I guess it wouldn't hurt. He's a pretty nice guy, after all, he's treating me to lunch isn't he? And at the cost of food I ordered for myself, I owe him.-

Vegeta stomped on the restaurant, his eyes scanning the heads of people sitting at different tables. He smirked, spotting his target walking to the washroom. –Got you, brat-

Gohan excused himself from the table and Videl nodded at him. He made his way to the little boys room when he felt an arm grab his shirt collar. His eyes widened. 'DAD?!'

Vegeta rolled his eyes and dragged him out the restaurant. 'You're late brat! Your damn mother asked me to pick you up. Will you hurry so I can get back to my food already! I was in a middle of a good eating contest, too bad you ruined it for me. You'll have to owe me a spar in the G.R. later. Just like old times.' Vegeta growled, smirking when he said the last part as Gohan paled. Ouchie……

'But dad, I can't leave!' Gohan pleaded, trying to get his father's iron grip free from his shirt so he could go back to Videl, and use the washroom…..he really needed to go BAD!

'My friend Vid-

'I don't care brat, so save it!'

Gohan turned white thinking about all the things that would happen to him today. First a beating from Vegeta, then a screaming from Bulma, then…………uh-oh. He planted his feet firmly on the ground, abruptly stopping Vegeta. His eyes widened. If he doesn't go back to Videl and pay for the food, he'd get a beating AND screaming from her!!!

Before he could say anything though, Vegeta had grabbed his legs and arms, carrying him on his back and blasted off to Capsule Corp mansion. 'Damnit, what the hell do you eat! You weigh heavier than ME!'

Videl stormed in her house, the butlers and maids jumped out of the way in shock. She stomped up the stairs, down the hall and into her room, slamming the door behind her. Hercule stared wide-eyed. What the hell happened to her?!

-AARRGGHHH!!!! That ASSHOLE! THE NERVE OF HIM!-

Videl flung her purse at the wall then jumped into bed, burying her head on a fluffy below before screaming at the top of her lungs. 'GOOOHHHHAAAANNNNN!!!!!'

-First he ditches me, then makes ME pay for all that FOOD?! I swear when I see him again I'll literally kick his ass from her all the way back to AMERICA!-

I think that was pretty long ehh…don't you think? Well tell me how you guys like it so far? I'm trying to get this done to get to the part where the two actually GET together and stuff, then things heat up and the drama flares! Just bear with me and I GUARANTEE you that near the ending, probably the last 3 chapters, will make you cry and get mad at ME!

REVIEW PLEASE!

Oh and I'm planning on writing another G/V fic. It's inspired by the movie TROY and THE GLADIATOR. It's a war movie, with action, romance and the ending will ALSO make you cry. LOL….When I think of a story to write I think of the ending first and write my way to the beginning of the story…weird huh? Well tell me if you'll be interested in this…..and I'll even take some of your ideas and maybe put it in the story! Anyway……thanks for reading and stay safe!
