Author's note: I'm sorry for the confusion guys, and I'm here to clear it all up.

Yes, Gohan IS Bulma and Vegeta's real son. If I said Son Gohan, I apologize for the mix up. Gohan is a real Briefs. I made Gohan a Brief so that my story would fit, it will all clear up near the end.

About Gohan's saiyan ability, that will be answered in later chapters too.

I'm sorry if the story seems as if the two will NEVER get together but trust me, they will. It's just that it is important for you guys to know these chapters because it will have an effect on the story. It's like a puzzle, I'm giving you pieces for every chapter that will VERY WELL matter for the end or else it wouldn't make sense to you.

About the ending making you guys cry, ( grins) You'll have to wait and read. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything super drastic, but I can almost guarantee you that you won't predict it. The end is sad, but happy at the same time! Oh, and the twist will catch you off guard!

I'm going to quicken my pace on this story because I find that I'm taking too long and I really want to get to the part where they're together already!

Make sure you read evey little detail of the story! From chapter one through out the whole because I'm giving you guys hints here for the MAJOR twist near the end. Maybe soon, you'll be able to guess and figure out what the twist on the story will be! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!

Chapter 8

Love in the stars, step 2!

Gohan laid quiet on his bed, his face screwed up in deep thought. Who am I kidding, she's probably so mad at me she's pricking a voodoo doll with my face on it. I can't blame her though, I would've been mad too if someone ditched me at lunch and left me to pay the bills. He turned to his side uncomfortably. Gohan's wanted to tell Videl he was sorry for 3 and a half days now but didn't have the balls to face her again, not after what happened. Oh man. It's like someone's trying to make Videl angry at me on purpose. But that's not possible is it? He sighed weakly just as the door to his room opened and Bra stepped in with the phone in hand.

'I can't believe YOU! I'm just asking this ONE favor from you!' She yelled to the phone, pacing back and forth. 'You know what, SCREW YOU GOTEN!' Bra hung up angrily, tossing the phone on the bed which hit Gohan's head and bounced to the floor. He moaned, pulling the covers over his face.

Bra plopped down by the foot of the bed, not noticing her brother's presence in the room. 'Arrgghh! That guy! What a heartless jackass!'

'That's what Videl called me too,' Gohan replied sulkily, covering his ears that screamed in pain. Bra blinked and surveyed her brother before sighing. 'Gohan, why are boys so stupid?'

'I don't know. Maybe boys aren't stupid, maybe girls are just so hard to understand.' He propped up on his elbow and patted the empty spot next to him. Bra pouted, crawling under the covers, he wrapped his leg around her. 'You've only been here for- ten hours and you're already having problems?' Gohan asked.

'Exactly! I come here excited to see my family and Goten BUT noooo! He has other plans tonight and tomorrow so he "can't" see me. Does he honestly think that I'm going to wait for his sorry ass? I don't think so.'

When she got no reaction from her brother, she turned around to face him and frowned when he seemed to be out of there. 'AND my brother isn't even listening.'

Her voice shook him from his thoughts, he smiled weakly. 'Sorry, you were saying?'

Bra rolled her eyes. 'So what's wrong with you? You seem sad and deep and thought ever since I got here this morning.'

Gohan sighed and cleared his throat, explaining to Bra the whole story about Videl and their strange "meetings." Her eyes widened at her brother. 'So dad dragged me out and I left her without saying goodbye or paying for the food. I need help, sis. Can you tell me if she's mad at me, from a girl's point of view.'

Bra shook her head hopelessly. 'Gohan you are so naïve. OF COURSE she's mad at you! I thought this was another stupid Lime problem but this is more complicated than I thought. You should go up to her and tell her you're sorry, then give her one of your killer smile. She'll be powerless to resist.'

Gohan chuckled lightly. 'No, my smile doesn't work on her.' Bra gasped playfully, then giggled when Gohan pouted. 'She's got to be something if she could resist your smile. You like her?'

His eyes widened almost immediately, and he quickly shook his head. 'NO!' His sister grinned knowingly and he rolled his eyes at her. 'I'm serious Bra. I……I- I with Jamie was here.' Gohan whispered softly, closing his eyes. Bra paused, her mouth open, too stunned to say anything. Gohan's never talked about Jamie ever since she was…..taken. And the subjects always had been so touchy that no one ever brought it up. But now, Gohan's the one who actually mentioned her?! THIS IS EPIC!

She shook her shock away and nodded sympathetically. If he was willing to discuss Jamie, then he must be really sad. 'I know what Jamie would say if she were here. Get up your ass and stop moping around PG! The world is wide and beautiful, you shouldn't waste your time in this dump feeling sorry for yourself.'

Gohan chuckled lightly. She would say that too. Bra smiled and jumped out of bed. 'Come on PG, tomorrow you start your big day! Let's have some fun!'

He shook his head. 'Go ahead B, I think I'll go to sleep early.' She frowned at him. 'Are you sure? Come on, we could go to the party at-

'I'm good kiddo, just go have some fun AND don't drink! If you do then call my cell so I can pick you up.' He said in a brotherly tone. Bra nodded with a smile. 'Alright PG, if you say so.'

Mr. Popo frowned. 'How come they're fighting already?'

Cupid shook his head. 'Popo, my dear friend, a relationship strengthens when it goes through hardship and survives.' He said as a matter-o-fact. The genie understood this, but still couldn't help but feel worried. 'But they're so early in their relationship and things are already messing up! I-

'Everything will be fine, don't stress yourself too much or you'll grow old. These two will pull through, sooner or later.' Cupid said confidently, lighting a Cuban cigar. 'Why don't you make sure Dende's still tied up in the closet. I'll handle things here.'

Popo nodded unsurely but went anyway. I hope you know what you're doing….

Videl parked her car and got out, entering the building and walking down the busy hallways with a tired smile. Her eyes followed the directions that lead to the production room where their first meeting for the film would be held. The director, Steven Spoonburg, had informed her that the first meeting would be brief, just to discuss the overview of the movie and for all the actors to meet each other and do some bonding….

Finally finding the right room, Videl pushed the door open, hearing voices from the inside. She froze on her spot, feet rooted to the ground.

'Videl! You made it, fantastic.' Steven greeted with a cheery smile. 'Well, are you just going to stand there or are you coming over here so you could meet your fellow actors?'

Videl smiled weakly, then tightened her face, her eyes narrowed to an intense glare as she made her way to the circle where Steven began to introduce each of them to Videl.

'This is Sharon White, she'll be playing Karen, your best friend.' Steven pointed to the pretty blonde girl beside Videl. Wow…just like Erasa.

'And last but not least of course,' Steven began excitedly, a grin sweeping across his face. Videl's eyes sharpened dangerously. 'Gohan Briefs, playing as your hubby Drake! Isn't this wonderful?'

Everyone clapped in agreement, except Videl who was too busy glaring at Gohan to care while Gohan fidgeted uneasily on his chair, a cold shiver ran down his spine when he caught the anger that Videl was practically shooting at him.

'Steven, I don't feel so well. Can I get a copy of the script and leave early today?' Videl asked in her fake dramatic voice, her eyes never leaving Gohan. Steven blinked, grabbing a copy from the desk and handed it to Videl. 'Okay, sure Videl. Make sure you start memorizing your lines and get well.'

Videl took the script and nodded with a strained smile before turning to leave and disappeared. Gohan got to his feet immediately. 'I think I'd better go follow her. She looked a little red, I'll give her a drive home.'

Steven's eyes widened immediately at the thought of losing his star actress, he nodded. 'Alright, we don't want any accidents to happen to our actors. Hurry and catch her Gohan.' He took out another copy and handed it to the demi-saiyan before Gohan dashed out the door in a flash.

Gohan shot through the hallways and to the parking lot, Videl was just pulling out her car. 'Videl!' he shouted but she already drove off in a mad blaze of smoke. He slumped his shoulders in defeat and glanced at the script. "Love in the stars," Videl Satan and Gohan Briefs. He shook his head with a small smile. Who would've thought.

Videl pressed down on the gas pedal, her car zoomed 170km/hr on the highway, the cool breeze blowing her hair and cooling her anger down a tiny bit. Darn it! Why do I have to get stuck working with him?

She pushed down harder and her car immediately picked up in speed. She was so angry she failed to notice her car reach 210km/hr, speeding uncontrollably across the streets. Videl clung to the wheel desperately, her grip tightening as she swerved pass cars and slammed on the brakes, her car screeched to a sliding stop, hitting the side of a bridge, the car's nose smashing through the railings and tilted downwards to the raging sea beneath. Her head violently jerked forward then snapped back when the car finally stopped moving, her heart pounding at her chest.

She felt sick to her stomach and very woozy, the world around her wouldn't stop spinning and her entire body felt numb. Although the urge to just sit there and wait for someone to come was overwhelming, she fought for consciousness, knowing very well that if she stayed, she would die.

Videl groaned and brought her hands to her face to check for any injuries before opening the door. Once she did though, the car jerked forward and swayed precariously, the front of the car tilted downward to the raging waters. If she wanted to get out of here alive, she'd have to crawl out very slowly and carefully.

Videl brought her legs up and crawled to the back seat, her car moving slightly back and forth. If she jumped, she would make it to the bridge for sure. Just as she was about to, her eyes widened and she crawled back to the front seat, grabbing the script from the glove compartment and placed it under her arm pits. Unfortunately, the car slid forward out of control, leaving only one choice, she'd have to jump now. Just before the car dropped, she pushed hard with her feet and leapt forward, hovering on the air for a still moment. Time seemed to stop then, and she could see with teary eyes that she wasn't going to make it….

Suddenly, a hand shot out and grabbed her arms, yanking her back to the bridge. She collided with the man who saved her life and both stumbled on the floor. Videl quickly got to her feet, wobbling as she did so, and brushed her clothes and hair before looking gratefully at her hero. She frowned.

'You'd better be careful miss, driving that fast could've killed you AND other people.'

Videl flushed and nodded. 'Yes…thank you…..uhmmm…'

'Oh, Goten Son. Call me Goten.' The man said, extending his hand forward with a smile. (a/n: LOL! How MANY of you thought it was GOHAN?! Hahahhahaha!)

Videl took his hand and shook it. 'Well, thank you Goten. For saving my life.'

He smiled comfortingly and chuckled. 'I guess you'd need a drive home huh?' Videl looked down the bridge to see no sign of her car, it already sank beneath the dark water. She turned to Goten and nodded. It was getting pretty late and the wind was picking up. She was a little hesitant, asking the man who saved her to give her a drive too. But she was getting cold and there was no where else to go. 'Yes, I'd like that.'

Gohan parked his car and strolled in the Capsule Corp. hallway to the Brief's mansion, but stopped wide eyed just by the doors. 'Shoot, I don't have a key.'

He sighed, great! Now he couldn't get in. Bra, Bulma, David and surprisingly Vegeta were all out today. Plus the Brief's mansion doors were all locked very securely, with the surveillance and strength of a casino vault. Gohan grabbed his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Bra's cell number but no one picked up. He rolled his eyes, must be too busy making out with her guy, Gomen Son or whatever his name was.

After much contemplating, he decided to tour the city for a while. At least until someone gets home.
