Chapter Title: Moving Apart
Disclaimer: *Enter Witty Disclaimer Here*
AN: Hello! Hello! I'm starting my schedule again. Three weeks people. You know the drill.
Last Time: Videl tell Gohan about talking to Sharpener, and we find out that Sharpener's getting out of jail.
**Story**
"Mom! Goten! Dad! MOM! GOTEN! DAD!" Gohan screamed as he landed on his front lawn, Videl on his back. She slid off and stood back. The only reason she was even there was because Gohan knew that Sharpener was after her. She knew that he would have left her at his Grandfather's house if he hadn't known that. He was very much angry at her. So angry that when she'd asked him to repeat when he'd said, he'd gone to Super Saiyan and had yelled at her.
ChiChi appeared from inside the house at the same moment Goku and Goten ran from behind the house. All three where saying the same thing. "What's wrong?" Gohan looked into each of their eyes with his teal ones. He couldn't calm down enough to go back to normal. So Videl had been forced to ride on the back of a very bronzed off Super Saiyan.
"Pack your things. I need to get up all up to the lookout," Gohan said, his voice low and angry. Goku looked between Videl and Gohan for a second before cocking his head to the side.
"What happened?" Goku asked. Gohan growled and pointed at Videl.
"This incompetent whelp over here called Sharpener and told him he failed, and that his brother died in vain. Right after which she found out he appealed the case, and won because they couldn't find us to testify again. So now he's out on parol. And he's coming after my family," Gohan snarled out through gritted teeth. Videl suddenly looked angry.
"Don't you insult me," Videl said, going over in front of him. He turned to her and leaned down into her face.
"You are my mate, I can do what ever I want to, to you. And you will obey me. You didn't, and now I have to hide my family while I go and find that fuck face and kill him for real this time," Gohan hissed, turned back to his family.
"You never told me not to talk to him," Videl replied, planting her hands on her hips.
"You should have known," Gohan replied turning back to her. ChiChi and Goten looked on as Goku moved forward, knowing what would happen if Videl replied to that. He'd stop it one way or another.
"Well, excuse me if I can't read you mind!" Videl snipped, rolling her eyes. Gohan snarled, took one step toward her and raised his hand to backhand her. Just before the blow fell, Goku grabbed Gohan's hand and pushed his away from a very frightened Videl. Gohan looked up from the ground to find his Dad in Super Saiyan standing over him, anger on his face. Behind him ChiChi held Videl tight, looking at her son with concern.
"Never raise your hand to a woman. You know better," Go stated, his arms crossed over his chest. Gohan looked up into his father's eyes and something inside of him snapped. He turned onto his stomach and jumped to his feet, looked over his shoulder at his family and shook his head.
"I'm going to go and get the Briefs up to the lookout. Grandpa's already on his way up there. I'll meet you there," Gohan said, and took off, leaving a crying Videl, and three other very worried people.

Bulma hummed gently as she walked through the garden, looking for just the right rose blooms for the vase on her dresser. She'd picked up the habit when she was pregnant with Trunks, and now her mind associated it with her condition. She looked for just the right size, shape, and kind of baby blue, white, and orange blooms. If she picked the wrong kind, both her and Vegeta'd wake up in the middle of the night sneezing. So she was very careful when she selected the blooms.
She snickered as she felt Vegeta's following her every move from his place in the yard. Normally he would have been in the GR. But today he felt the need to watch her. He hadn't been around much when she carried Trunks, or Bra. So now he was going to keep her within sight, if not hearing range. Bulma glanced over and met his eyes before he could look away. She ran her tongue over her lips, before blowing him a kiss. A blush rose in cheeks as he smirked at her. She giggled lightly before turning from him and going back to her flowers.
Trunks looked out the window of his office and sighed. He liked summer vacation most of the time, but right now, with the whole having nothing to do, he was starting to hate summer va-ca. He was so zoned that he didn't even hear anyone came into the room. He noticed though, when arms were slipped around his waist from behind, and a head was rested on his shoulder. With a small sniff, he knew it was Rachel. He laid his head against hers and his hands ontop of her own. They staid like that for about a half a second before Trunks pulled her around him and dumped her into his lap. He kissed the top of her head and gathered as much of her up in his arms as he could. She smiled and leaned against him, closing her eyes. He closed his eyes as well, a smile gracing his lips. He'd missed her. She'd been at her father's for most of the past month. So she'd been away when he'd gone into the time chamber. So now, she wasn't a year older than him. They were the same age.
The two of them were almost asleep when the door opened again and Skirt and the rest of the gang came in. They whistled at the couple, who didn't pay them any attention, other than to peak at them from half hooded eyes.
"So where's G-man?" Squish asked, his arm wrapped around Kana's shoulders. Trunks looked at the two other couples, and then the twins and smiled. He was glad that Squish and Kana finally got together. They'd been teasing and joking about it for years. But he could tell they liked each other. He was also very much glad that Crunch and Shirt had staid together for so long. Three years was a long time for the two of them. The twins on the other hand where a constant source for confusion to him. Skirt, Goten's girlfriend and her brother Splat where very much opposite from one another, but they looked exactly the same, if not that one was boy and the other was a girl. They both loved the same shows, and they dress in similar styles. But other than that, they were nothing alike.
Trunks smiled at them, still holding Rachel to him. He truly did love her. She loved him. It all worked out. "Hey guys, how's it going?" Trunks asked, closing his eyes again.
"Not a lot goin' down. Other than a guy that looks just like Gohan, but with gold hair and green eyes just landed in the rose garden, and the three of them, your dad, mom and he are talking," Splat said, pointing out the window. Trunks looked over there and his eyes went wide. Gohan looked pissed. 'What's Gohan doing here at this hour?' Trunks asked, glancing at the clock to see that it was around 6:30 in the afternoon, and the sun was starting to go down. Just as he was about to shrug and turn back to his friend, Vegeta turned to him and motioned for him to come on.
An: Well, that's that. Hope you liked it. I had fun with it. And Yes I purposefully threw Gohan out of character. Well. That's all.
Next Time: the whole gang, (Kana, Crunch, Splat, Squish, Skirt, Shirt, Rachel, Trunks, Bulma, Vegeta, Gohan) get packed and head up to the lookout. And we look in on Sharpener.
