Hey guys! Thank you for all your reviews! First want to clear some things..
TimeShifter: LOL…if you check back a few chapters, chapter Six I think, you'll see that I mentioned Gohan being friends with Natasha and David. Basically, Videl and Erasa were supposed to meet only Natasha and David because Erasa knows them both, but since Natasha was going to meet up with Erasa and Videl, she decided to bring her other friends too, which was Gohan and Bra and ehem..Bra's guy. So to answer your question…Natasha invited Gohan..LOL..sorry if that was confusing...and thanks for your amazing reviews!
Lil Dev G: Chapter ten is a week after chapter nine, sorry if I didn't say that clearly! Basically in Chapter ten, Videl is getting ready for her meeting with Erasa later on while thinking about her past. So all the flashbacks are about Videl's past and her letters with some un known guy..LOL so everything is in the present, besides the flash back..LOl thanks for your reviews!
To everyone else, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEWS!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Now I have something to tell you guys! I am only… Fourteen years old, well I just turned fourteen a few months ago. The reason I'm telling you guys this is because I want to ask you if you'll actually be comfortable with me writing a lemon..Do you guys even want one? LOl….but anyway, I've never written one before, but I'm not afraid of trying out new things! LOL! So tell me if you guys still want a lemon, even if I'm only fourteen years old!
Alright, ONTO THE STORY!

Chapter 11.
Dare, Smiles, Hopes, and Table Manners!
Videl sipped on her diet coke consciously, hey gaze settled at the ceiling, Gohan did the same except his eyes were fixed on the floor. After wearing off the initial shock, Erasa had winked at Videl before whispering something to Natasha; Videl gave her a narrowed questioning glare all the while. Natasha brightened up immediately, sending Gohan and Videl cheesy smiles before excusing herself, saying some lie about finding Bra, because apparently, Bra was supposed to meet them with her new "guy" today. Before Gohan could suggest that they should all go look for his sister together, Erasa, Natasha and Mark had scampered out the restaurant, thus, leaving Gohan and Videl alone for half an hour, an awkward blanket of silence covering them both. That was until some poor unfortunate waiter crossed Satan's daughter, almost loosing a body part in the process.
Videl was just finishing her pasta when the waiter took the half eaten salad beside Videl's plate, carelessly assuming she was finished with it. Unfortunately for him, Videl was already in a VERY bad mood.
'What are you doing?' She snapped, causing the waiter to flinch and drop the plate on the floor clumsily. Videl's eyes widened, she rose to her feet and pounded her fist angrily on the table, leaving a knuckle dent on it. Gohan's eyes widened.
'YOU IDIOT! I WASN'T DONE EATING THAT! YOU'D BETTER GET ME ANOTHER BOWL OF SALAD BEFORE I RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!'
Videl's voice thundered through the entire two-story restaurant, everything and everyone fell silent in shock. The waiter hastily picked up the fallen plate and scrambled to his feet, bowing and muttering apologies to Videl before darting off at top speed, as if he was being chased by a hormone imbalanced psychopathic mentally disabled killer woman, which he wasn't of course. At least not yet…
She growled menacingly, grumpily plopped back down on her chair and turned her heated glare at the chuckling man in front of her. 'What are YOU laughing at?' She sneered, sticking her fork on her cold pasta.
Gohan shook his head. 'I think you scared the hell out of that guy. I'm pretty sure his pants are wet.'
Videl rolled her eyes, muttering an answer under her breathe. 'Good…'
He cocked his head to the side. 'Do you always have to be so mean Videl?'
'Do you always have to be a goody good Gohan?'
'Hey! I resent that! I'm not always nice you know,' Gohan replied surely, gulping down the bucket of chicken wings sitting pointlessly in front of him and begging to be devoured by his very own Shark 3000 all purpose vacuum, his stomach.
'Sure you're not…' Videl hissed at him, mimicking his voice by lowering her own until it was noticeably deep. 'OH miss, do you need help with that? Oh can I open the door for you? You dropped your phone number on my table, I just thought you'd want mine back! Oh you need to take a crap, well do you need help washing your butt after? I, Gohan Briefs can offer a helping hand!'
Gohan looked at her innocently, then broke a grin through his face.
'What are you grinning at Gohan?' Videl spat, tucking a strand of her raven black hair behind her ears. He just looked at her, then straightened on his chair. 'All right Videl, I'll make you a deal. If you can be nice for a whole day, I'll give you a thousand dollars.'
Videl's eyes widened, her face twisting to a scowl. 'I don't need your money mister!' She smirked. 'Although your idea is interesting.' She pondered on the thought for a moment before dropping her fork with a sinister smile. 'Tell you what Gohan, I'll be nice for the ENTIRE day if you'll be mean for the whole day.'
'What?' Gohan asked, dumbfounded.
'You heard me. Why are you scared?' Videl taunted with a smirk. Gohan dropped his now all bone ribs on his plate, sucking on his fingers before nodding. 'Alright, I accept.'
Videl held out her small hand which he took and gave a firm squeeze to. 'Deal.'
This is going to be easy. What a sucker! 'You know Gohan, how about we add to this little game. Let's play dare.' Videl suggested overly excited. He raised a handsome brow at her. 'Like what dare?'
She rolled her eyes. 'Dare Gohan! You know, I dare you, you dare me, blah blah blah.' Videl said, clearly annoyed at his naive ness.
He looked around worriedly before facing her again, and then hesitantly nodded. 'Fine. Go ahead.'
SCORE! Poor guy, he doesn't know what kind of trouble he's gotten himself into. Her narrowed eyes scanned the room, then stopped at a young woman sitting alone by the bar. She grinned and turned to Gohan. 'I have it. First dare Gohan, I dare you to go up to that pretty girl over there and get her phone number.'
Gohan gave her a calculating look. 'Uhmm…is that it? This is going to be done in about- 3 minutes.' He smirked confidently, wiping his hands and getting to his feet. 'Better hope she's not a great woman Videl, or I might have to leave you here all by yourself.'
Just as he was about to walk towards his target with a sexy grin, Videl grabbed on his arm. 'Oh and Gohan, remember you have to be mean.'
His face fell immediately, Videl's brightened noticeably. 'What? How am I supposed to get her phone number if I'm mean to her?' Stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I should've known Videl would think of something like this.
Videl rolled her eyes. Actually Gohan, a lot of girls like bad boys. Us women like rough men you know, not some momma's boy.' This guy is really naïve…I don't know how the hell girls fall for his charms all the time.
Gohan's brows furrowed together. 'Really?'
Videl nodded at him, raising her glass to sip on her drink innocently. Gohan shrugged then made his way over to the gorgeous girl by the bar. Videl smiled. She strained her ears, shuffling to the edge of her seat, attempting to hear what it was Gohan was saying while he laid all his charms on her, and the woman seemed to be falling for it. Videl rolled her eyes when she saw the girl smile at Gohan like he was imported one of a kind diamonds, her hands rubbing seductively against his arm. Videl turned away, sipping on her straw miserably. Oh great, I just had to pair him with miss slut oh-I'm-a-virgin-fuck-me-then-run….She turned back to look and her mouth immediately dropped when the girl slapped Gohan across the face before storming out of the restaurant.
Videl's face brightened up. Oh yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about. She gave Gohan a superior smirk while he rubbed his abused cheek gingerly and made his way back, slumping down on his chair. 'Great Videl, thank you very much. I thought you said girls like bad boys? Didn't seem like it to me.'
Videl suppressed her laughter, giving a small smile on the outside. She pretended to frown and asked with fake concern. 'Why Gohan, what ever did you do wrong?'
Gohan rolled his eyes while she snickered lightly. 'Very funny Videl. This stays between us…okay?'
Videl nodded with a bright grin. 'Sure. But no really, what the hell did you do that made her slap you across the face?'
Gohan stared at her funny, then said 'I- I was bad, like you said.'
Videl raised a polished brow curiously. 'Gohan, what did you tell her?'
Gohan shifted uneasily on his seat, inwardly debating if he should tell her or not. Finally, he leaned closer to her, checking to make sure that no one else was close enough to hear him. 'Well…..I-I told her she had really big boobs that looked fake, a-and her butt was really small.'
Videl fell to the ground, rolling around on her stomach in a fit of laughter. Gohan blushed, shrinking on his seat, everyone in the restaurant was looking at them strangely. 'Videl…..everyone's staring at us…' he whispered meekly.
Videl's laughter stopped, her head popped up from under the table, her face flushed and she sat back down. 'Why the hell did you say that?' She asked with great disbelief. But then again, this is Gohan. He probably did say it…
Gohan shrugged plainly. 'You said to be mean, and I was. You told me girls like bad boys, but she definitely doesn't!' he argued back.
Videl smiled at how innocent he was, like a big baby who would believe anything you tell him. She rolled her eyes, not even attempting to explain the concept of "the bad-boy image" to Gohan, it would be like teaching advanced calculus to a three year old. Not really impossible, but highly unlikely and extremely difficult.
'It's my turn, is it not? You have to do the same, except you have to be nice,' Gohan pointed out.
Videl shrugged. 'Now, that I don't get. Being nice gets you nowhere.'
He shook his head at her. 'That's not true. A lot of guys like nice, sweet girls actually. You should give it a try Videl. If you keep the cap on your hot head once in a while you'd really be a walking goddess.'
Videl stared at him in mild shock. Was he just complimenting me? 'Sure Gohan, whatever you say.'
He grinned at her, making Videl even more annoyed than before. 'Would you stop grinning at me?' She snapped.
'Why?'
'Why? Because it's weird and annoying.'
Gohan shook his head, his smile still plastered on his face. 'You know what I think?'
Videl rolled her eyes, looking away from his attractive smile….she had to admit that he did look cute… 'What do you think Gohan?' She asked exasperatedly.
'I think you don't like it when I smile because it makes you smile too,' he said proudly.
Videl's eyes widened but only momentarily so he wouldn't notice, she laughed sarcastically. 'What?! I can't believe you even said that.'
'What?' Gohan asked curiously. 'You don't believe me?'
'Of course I don't. Your theory doesn't even make sense.' She answered, her eyes fixed on her finger nails as if it was so interesting.
'Really? Then why don't you look at me and see?' Gohan challenged smugly.
Videl hesitated but kept her eyes down. 'This is so stupid.' A soft chuckle escaped his lips. 'Come on Videl, if you look at me directly without smiling then I'll be your slave for a week.'
Her face lit up, biting on her lower lip in deep thought. She didn't know what was stopping her from just looking at him, maybe she actually was scared that he will make her smile. And she wasn't ready to accept the idea that someone could just make her smile like that, no ones been able to do it, and she liked it that way. Just look up and prove him wrong Videl!
She hesitantly turned to look at him, her face straining to stay straight and blank against his charms, but she found it harder to do than she originally thought. WAY harder!
Gohan's smile grew when he saw Videl's hard visage slowly lose its strength, a small grin threatening to tug at the corner of her lips. She was smiling, but she was fighting it. It was an amusing sight, to see Videl's eyes stare intently at the side of his face only, her lips quivering as her control slowly slipped away. All she needed was a little push, which Gohan was happy to provide.
'Videl, look at me, my eyes.' He said softly. She cursed herself, then with one last deep breathe she turned to look him directly at his eyes, remembering the first time she saw it, seeing the meaning beyond those dark obsidian orbs, falling in love with it, and losing herself within it's mysteries, she smiled unconsciously..
A triumphant cheer broke her trance, Videl looked at him questioningly. 'What?'
Gohan grinned. 'You smiled Videl, I told you.' She growled at him, slamming her fist on the table. 'Not fair, you cheated! I-I wasn't…..It's because your damned smile is addictive okay! You happy that I said it now?!' Videl hissed turning to look away all the while mumbling curses with Gohan's name.
Gohan shook his head and lifted her chin to face him again. 'A smile is the most addictive and contagious thing in the world. It spreads like air. It's the best present you can give to anyone. If you smile at someone you don't know, soon they'll feel better and smile to someone else. Won't the world be a better place if everyone did that?'
Videl snickered hopelessly, rolling her eyes with a grin. 'Gohan, you are very…..optimistic. So much things from just one simple gesture.'
He nodded. 'Everyone's smile is gorgeous, especially yours since you don't show it too often.'
She grinned unconsciously, her cheeks burning red, he laughed. Videl shut her mouth and growled when she realized what she did. 'Damn it Gohan! You and your….gayness. Will you stop staring at me? It makes me-
'Smile?' He cut in.
'- uncomfortable….' She continued with narrowed eyes.
He snickered. 'Alright, alright. If you say so. But hey, optimism is the best window to view the world.'
'That depends on who's talking.'
'Why, you'd rather be grumpy?'
'NO, but sometimes letting people get close to you can hurt you even more when they're taken away.' Videl answered back seriously.
Gohan paused, then frowned, his face doing a complete 360. That was something he could definitely relate too. Videl noticed the sudden change in his mood, and frowned too. 'Gohan?'
He looked up at her sadly for a quick moment only that Videl almost missed it, before it turned to that mask he wears, that smile he hides behind everyday. Well, Videl could see right through it. 'Yes Videl?'
'Looks like you guys are having fun!' came another voice.
Gohan looked up and brightened, Videl looked up and froze.
'Bra!' Gohan cheered, getting up to hug his sister tightly, not even noticing the man with wild spiky black hair beside her, or the fact that the man and Videl were staring intensely at each other, fear on both faces.
'Sorry we took so long PG, where's Natasha?' Bra asked curiously, Sarah and David already grabbed a chair and sat down.
Gohan was about to answer when Videl abruptly got to her feet, her chair falling back in the process, purse in hand, fear and confusion etched on her pretty face. 'I-I'm sorry, something…..came up. I have to go.' She stuttered incoherently, her eyes turned to Gohan quickly before falling to the floor before she ran off.
'Videl!' Gohan called after her, shooting Bra a confused look, who shrugged back at him. 'Sorry guys, tell Nat and Mark I'll see them next time. Take care guys!' He said before giving chase to Videl.
'Bye Gohan!' Sarah waved at his retreating form, then glanced at Bra. 'What the hell was that about?'
Videl sighed, plopping down on the grass heavily. She bit her lip, shutting her eyes tightly, stopping her tears from leaking through. Why the hell was he there?! Goten, is he stalking me? And how does he know Gohan's sister?! She shook her head wildly as unwanted memories resurfaced. It wasn't until she heard someone sit down beside her did she open her eyes slowly. She was shocked to see Gohan, sitting with his legs stretched out, arms at his side, his eyes gazing off into space.
Videl didn't say anything for a while, and waited for him to break the ice.
'So, any particular reason why you chose to go to this place?' Gohan asked randomly, flashing her a comforting grin, something Videl needed and greatly appreciated. 'By the way you were running here, it was like you knew exactly where to go.'
Videl took a big, deep, calming breathe. She was really glad Gohan didn't ask her what was wrong, she hated that question. 'I used to go here all the time when I was small. This was my very own secret place, only I knew how to get here.' She smiled. 'Well, me and this other boy actually. Why, do YOU recognize this place?'
Her voice sounded hopeful, which she was. Somewhere deep inside her, a small voice was telling her that Gohan was the boy who wrote back to her when she was small, that he had been in her life even way back, he just didn't know it.
Gohan turned to look at the sky then his eyes went to Videl with a small grin. 'No, not really.'
Videl hesitated, her small smile reducing to nothing. She was able to utter a small 'oh' before she closed her eyes again, swallowing a lump in her throat. She didn't get why she was disappointed. It was a very long shot that Gohan would be the boy who wrote back to her, one in a million chances! But still, she was hopeful, and it only disappointed her.
'H-how'd you find me anyway?' she asked, her voice cracking unconsciously, but she was desperate to move out from the subject.
Gohan stared at her for a moment, before he reached for her hand and took it in his own. Videl's eyes widened when she realized that she was shaking, terribly! And her throat was dry, her body felt cold.
'You're shaking Videl, and all the way over here you were sobbing loudly. That's how I followed you. You were leaving a trail of bread crumbs.' He grinned childishly.
The dark clouds were rolling in over the orange and purple skies and the cold wind was picking up in speed. Gohan removed his varsity coat, draping it around Videl's shoulder. She would've protested, if it wasn't so cold. Instead, she smiled gratefully and whispered a small thank you as they got to their feet. 'You'd better get home then Videl. I'll see you at work.' Gohan said softly.
Videl nodded slightly, 'I'll see you then' she said before walking off.
'Oh and Videl,' Gohan called back to her, she turned halfway to face him questioningly. 'Hmmm?'
He smiled and laughed. 'When will I get my white sweat shirt back?'
Videl chuckled lightly, biting on her lower lip. 'When it rains frogs.' She answered with one last smile, before walking away and out of his view.
Gohan stood still, his hands in his pocket, his eyes sweeping his surroundings with a faint smirk. 'When it rains frogs…..'
Months have passed; time seemed to fly by Gohan and Videl, slowly strengthening their bond together. It wasn't something they noticed though, it was something they felt but paid no particular attention to, because it was just so….natural. Especially with each other.
The two spent every weekday together, working hard on their new movie from early morning to late afternoon. At first they started off very awkward, more so during somewhat intimate scenes, afraid to touch each other that way, which posed a problem of course. It was a ROMANTIC MOVIE after all, and a romantic movie without intimacy wasn't romantic at all. But as the two slowly got closer, the more comfortable they felt with each other. Not comfortable enough to have sex, but comfortable enough to hug or cuddle, just like friends. Yup, just like close friends.
After working everyday, Gohan and Videl always ate dinner together, kind off like a formal date that turned into a fun habit. But nothing was formal about it; the two never liked acting all high and stuck-up anyway. They just mingled with the crowd and, always had a great time. They both enjoyed the freedom and privacy, they couldn't do these in America without being mobbed or followed by a huge crowd.
Today was no different. The two were going by their daily schedule, starting at the top of the list, which was to work.
'Drake, I- I don't think we can be together anymore,' Videl sighed dramatically, currently in the warm embrace of Gohan. (A/n: Drake is the character Gohan is playing in their movie, incase you guys forgot.lol. I couldn't think of any other name.) 'My…my mom saw us together yesterday, and is she tells dad, he'll kill you for sure.'
Drake shook his head, embracing the woman in his arms tighter than before. 'No, I won't let him get between us. We've gone through a lot more before; I'm not going to give up on us yet. No, not until we get our happy ending.'
He separated with a smile, Videl mirroring his own. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned closer to his face. 'Thank you…..' The space between their lips narrowed, their eyes drifting to a close when…
'And CUT!' Steven exclaimed happily over from his "director's chair." The two separated quickly, a light blush sweeping their cheeks as Steven hopped off his stool and stride over to them. 'That was excellent, both of you! A month ago I was really nervous because you two looked as awkward as a black and white horse, but now you guys have so much CHEMISTRY! Are you sure you two aren't a couple yet?'
Their blush immediately intensified, confirming Steven's assumption, not that either of the two noticed the redness of their faces. 'No! Me and Gohan are just friends Steven,' Videl quickly explained defensively.
'Gohan and I,' Gohan corrected her with a cheeky smile. Videl rolled her eyes and smacked him on the arm playfully. Steven watched with sparkly eyes as the flirting commenced, it was a really cute sight, seeing two VERY attractive grownups act like 6 year olds. Maybe he should just do a documentary of the two….that would be interesting.
'Well, if you two are done flirting, you can go. It's already- 6 pm, so works over. Go on, get out of here kids.' Steven shooed them off with a smile, watching as Gohan and Videl scurried out of sight. Sharon, also known as Videl's best friend Karen in the movie, walked over to him and glanced at the retreating backs Gohan and Videl. She sighed. 'They look cute don't they?'
Steven nodded dumbly. 'Uh-huh. Gohan's a lucky man…'
Sharon nodded too. 'Videl's a lucky girl….'
The elevator opened with a "cling" and the two stepped out in a fit of laughter, strolling down the hallways and out the doors to the bright open streets of down town. Videl sighed, gazing at the different restaurants they were passing by, then at the tall man beside her. 'I still can't believe you did that to him. You're an evil person you know.'
Gohan grinned sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand, his other arm wrapping around Videl's shoulder. 'I was five, how was I supposed to know what Viagra was. I just slipped it in dad's soup to see what would happen. I didn't know Vegeta was going to get horny, even if I did, I would never have thought he would be THAT horny.'
Videl let out a small chuckle, sliding closer to Gohan's body heat as they strolled down the streets together in search of a new adventure. 'Why, what happened to Vegeta?'
Gohan just eyed her unsurely, then snickered. 'Well, let's just say my mom wasn't too happy about it. Don't get me wrong, my mom likes spending time with my dad. Except that day, well….in the immortal words of my overly intelligent mother, Vegeta was being "Mr. TouchyFeely." I got lucky, I was five after all. If I did that now, Vegeta would beat the crap out of me.'
She nodded, somehow believing what he said, then stopped in her spot. 'Wait! Do you want to try the new restaurant just around the corner? It's called "In the Jungle," and I hear it's very good. They also say monkeys do the cooking.' She said with a wide smile.
'Pa pa pa pa pleeeeeaaaaassseeeee Gohan!'
He frowned unsurely. 'Well….I don't know. I'm not sure- Woah calm down Videl!' Gohan breathed when she yanked on his arms excitedly and began dragging him to the restaurant she was talking about. Soon enough, they stopped at the doors of a new building with big bright letters spelling "In the Jungle," decorated with neon lights, leaves and jungle animals. Before Gohan could say anything, Videl had pulled him in through the tinted glass doors.
'Videl, are you…' All his thoughts went to a complete halt when an intoxicating smell entered his nose, drool quickly sliding at the corner of his lips. Videl looked up at him and rolled her eyes. 'I take it you don't have any complaints!'
He turned to her with a wide smile that spread from ear to ear. 'FOOD!'
Videl watched, with mixed emotions, half of amusement and half of disgust, as Gohan stored away twenty-four servings of food in TEN MINUTES! Her mouth hung open, chopsticks adrift in her hands, her eyes narrowed when food flew from Gohan's plate all the way to her face while he attacked his food like it was going to eat him if he didn't eat it first.
Gohan looked up at her, dark orbs glazing innocently in his eyes, his mouth too cramped with food to close properly, yet he still managed to grin at her. Amazing really, that should be a talent if you asked her. 'Hey Videl, what's wrong? You don't like the food here?'
She shook her head plainly. 'No, it's good. Gohan, haven't I scolded you before about your table manners?'
His brows furrowed. 'Uhmmm…..no…..I don't believe so…'
Videl bit on her lower lip, as if contemplating about something, then quickly snatched away Gohan's plate from under his nose. Gohan's eyes widened when he realized what happened, a frown decorating his face as Videl smiles at him triumphantly. 'Viiidddeeellll….can I please have my plate back?'
She shook her head playfully, her grin widening. This must be torture for him! I love it! 'Nope, not until we agree on something Gohan.'
He gave her a curious look, his hand scratching his nose thoughtfully. 'Okay, but you have to tell me what it is first. I don't want a replay of our "dare" situation.'
She gave him an understanding nod, remembering that day like the back of her hand. 'Alright Gohan, you have to learn some table manners buddy. Because how you eat maybe amusing, but it's disgusting at the same time.'
'Table manners? I think I eat pretty well, compared to my dad.'
'Well Vegeta's a pig and you know it Gohan,' Videl commented with a chuckle. Gohan smiled at her, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. 'Okay, that's true. So table manners like what?'
'Like eating properly, at a NORMAL pace, so that I don't eat the food from your plate.'
Gohan looked at her weird, Videl sighed. 'Your food Gohan, when you eat it flies all the way to my open mouth.'
His eyes widened momentarily then a faint blush stained his cheeks. 'Oh…sorry. My bad.'
My bad? Since when does Gohan say my bad? Videl shrugged it off and nodded. 'So you'll do it? For me?'
He sighed. 'Fine, if you'll give me my food back.'
'Deal!'
20 minutes later….
'Excellent!' Videl exclaimed proudly, her dazzling smile capturing Gohan's eyes for a moment. 'Gohan, I'm so proud of you!'
He nodded with a small grin, lifting his spoon carefully from his plate and slowly sticking it in his mouth, then chewed its contents while savoring the taste. 'But Videl, if I eat this slow how am I going to get full?'
Videl shook her head with a small chuckle, then eyed Gohan's plate. Everything was eaten, except he left his vegetables untouched. She looked up at him. 'How come you don't eat your greens?'
He looked at her questioningly, then his eyes gazed down at his face, after going back to her face again. 'Well…' He began, rubbing the back of his head. 'I think it tastes yucky…..yucky yucky.'
She laughed at his childishness, pushing her plate aside since she was already done eating, then took Gohan's spoon and plate. 'Well, that's not going to work for me. You're eating your greens Gohan, it's good for you.'
He pouted. 'Viiiidddeellllll……pleeeaasseeee.'
She glared at him, finding it hard to keep a straight face at him. 'No, Gohan. You're not getting up from your seat until you eat this.' She stuck his fork on the vegetables on his plate then inserted it in her mouth, her lips closing on it and she tested the taste. She smiled when Gohan gave her a funny face, before sticking his fork back on the veggies and thrusting it forward at him. 'Now eat!'
He shook his head, crossing his arms across his chest stubbornly. 'You know, you're sounding a lot like my sister and my mom. I don't want to eat- Ouef!'
Videl stuffed the fork forcefully in his mouth, and smiled when he started chewing gingerly. 'That's a good boy.' She smiled.
Videl ran to the highest floor of the building, her laughter echoing around the empty rooms, her feet rushing up the stairs until she burst through a wooden door and cheered triumphantly at the wonderful atmosphere of the evening.
She turned back to the door, smiling proudly as Gohan came barging through it moments later. 'Ha! I beat you here Gohan! That's what you get for saying you are faster than the great Videl.'
He rolled his eyes and nodded plainly. 'Fine, fine. You win Videl.' He looked up at the starry filled sky, the cool breeze of the night blowing his midnight black spikes, his eyes closed, his nose taking in as much fresh air as he could and bloating his lungs, then smiled and turned to Videl. She was watching him intently throughout the entire time, and found it very amusing. 'So Videl, what are we doing here anyway?'
She shrugged, then walked over to the edge, leaning on the railings. She did the same thing Gohan did awhile ago, and found it very peaceful. Videl turned to look back at him, his face frowning about something. She raised her eyebrow. 'Gohan, what's wrong?'
First he said nothing, only twitching in his spot nervously, then looked shyly at Videl. 'I….I don't really like high places. I- I'm afraid of heights.' He blushed, looking at his feet.
Videl's eyes widened before she burst out in laughter. 'Oh Gohan, you got me all nervous for nothing you BAKA! That's okay if you're afraid of heights. Everyone's afraid of something you know.'
He grinned, she smiled, then she turned to look back at the scene in front of her as the cool air tickled her skin smoothly, her long raven hair waving at the gentle touch. Hills of green land rolled as far as she could see, populated with nothing but trees and animals, the natural wildlife at its peek. It was definitely breathtaking. Her eyes then surveyed the sky, it was the most wonderful creation of mother nature. Its color forever changing, filled with clouds of different shapes and sizes, its vast space and unpopulated area. It was freedom to fly in those, especially in the sunset, that's what she always wished she could do. She sighed.
'Whatcha thinking about Videl?' Gohan asked curiously, slowly inching his way over to her, one cautious step at a time. Videl turned back to him and smiled as he trembled with fear as he neared her and the edge, meeting him halfway and falling in his embrace. 'Nothing really, just fantasizing. The sky is amazing, don't you think so?'
Gohan nodded plainly, wrapping his arms and warmth around her. 'Yeah, yeah it is….'
Videl looked back up at the stars. 'I've always wanted to fly, I've always wondered how it would feel ever since I was small. To have no limits, no boundaries, to have that freedom. Too bad there is no such thing as people flying.' She smiled up at him, Gohan reflected it genuinely.
'Videl….can I ask you something?' he asked nervously, after a long moment of comfortable silence.
'Sure, go ahead.'
'Well, I just wanted to know if you had something against my sister.' Gohan said, careful with his words. He felt Videl stir in his embrace and confused purple orbs stared at his eyes.
'What? What makes you think I have anything against Bra?'
'Remember, after you and I talked, my sister came. Then you suddenly stood up and stormed off.' Gohan offered, frowning at the memory.
Videl shook her head. 'Oh no, it's not because of your sister Gohan. It's because of the man she was with.'
Gohan's eyes lit up, his curiosity peaking. 'The man she was with?'
Videl nodded. 'Yeah……he- he was the one who tried to rape me, and he would've if it hadn't been for you.'
'WHAT?!' Gohan exclaimed in shock, then seethed with anger, his arms letting Videl go slowly. 'Videl….what's his name?' he all but growled.
Videl shut her eyes, hating to have to think about him or his name. 'Goten….Goten Son.'
When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see Gohan storming off and running down the stairs in an angry blaze, leaving destruction at his wake. She blinked, wondering what the hell had just happened before following right behind him, and sprinted down to catch up.
Someone was going to get into deep DEEP trouble!
