Previously:


As Videl came to, she was in a hard yet comfortable location that was warm and smelled good and felt safe to her half-conscious mind thus letting her body become more relaxed as she slipped back to sleep unaware that she was cradled in Gohan's arms.


Gohan was sitting at the table reading a book as Videl stirred in her sleep He took one eye off his reading to watch her mumble and twist.

"MARRON!" screamed Videl as she spontaneous awoke and leapt to her feet.

"She's just asleep, Videl." Gohan stated.

"Is she ok?" Videl asked.

"She will be but she has a broken collar and wrist bone and a lot of scrapes, cuts and bruises."

"She shouldn't be here, she should be at a hospital!" Videl exclaimed. "Why isn't Gohan more worried? I'm scared and he is read that fucking book!" Videl mentally screamed.

"It's going to be alright Trunks is almost back with some senzu beans." Gohan said as flipped a page in the book.

"What are you going to do with those, make a three bean salad!" Videl snapped.

Gohan looked up from the book and finally saw the panic in Videl's eyes, "Videl, the senzu bean will help her heal faster, and a hospital wouldn't do anything more than what I have already done." Gohan said as set the book down.

"And what's that?" Videl butted in.

"I have set Marron's wrist and bandaged it as well as her collar bone, her scrapes and cuts have been clean and disinfected and bandaged if needed be and the bruises have been checked. So at the moment all that can be done has been done now all we can do is wait till Marron to wakes up." Gohan said in the most relaxing way he could as he picked his book back up. "I even had time to clean your cuts and scrapes."

"So, there's nothing else left to be done?" Videl asked as she examined the bandages over her injuries.

"Nothing." Gohan said as he returned his eyes to his book

Videl looked at the large book it's dark brown leather binding was thick with yellow pages, "Doing some light reading?" Videl quipped as she tempted to smooth her nerves.

"Yea, I read it before, I figured that it would be good for an essay in literature class." Gohan said as flipped another page in the book.

Videl rolled her eyes as the light snub was unnoticed "So, You really expect to be home in time for class?" Videl asked as eyed the text of the book hoping to find another topic of conversation.

"I hope so."

"What kind of writhing is that?"

"It's Russian."

"Russian?"

"Yea, it's the only way to read War and Peace."

Videl Face faulted, "Sharpener is right, you are a nerd." Videl said "Thou be it cute."

Gohan flipped to the next page, "I will take in the spirit of that it was a compliment and not a slur."

Videl trying as best as she could still couldn't hide all apprehension she felt she had as she called for his attention, "Gohan?"

Gohan looked over at Videl and could see If she didn't ask her questions she was going to pop, "I bet you would like some answers about what happen his afternoon?" Gohan asked to which Videl nodded her head slowly and some what meekly, which was a surprise from the fiery teenager. "Very well then, Trunks' father and my father where the last of a line of warriors called Saiyans. They where the last of the pure bloodline, Trunks, Goten and myself are half Saiyan. The blonde hair, teal eyes are part of what is called a bloodline limit, its called super saiyan."

"Bloodline limit." Videl repeated, "So that means, its trick that is passed along your family tree."

"Correct, you get a cookie." Gohan said with a smile as he handed her an Oreo cookie, "Double stuffed your favorite."

Videl smiled as she took the cookie, "How did you know?"

"Erasa told me, she said that a package of them would work better than any flowers," Gohan answered in a confused voice and look on his face, "I don't know why she said that."

Videl rolled her eyes, "Of course not, its only my greatest weakness."

"Thou, its not a trick is a skill, and with training and practice can one gain the full strengths of that skill."

"Is flying a bloodline limit too?"

"No, but the person needs to be trained to control their ki?"

"What's ki?"

"Well it is like this energy that you can feel flowing through your body, I can feel yours..."

"WHOA!" Videl yelled as she slammed the palm of her hand on the table, "Who are you to be talking about feeling my body?" She then demanded. "YES! Alright, maybe I will be able to check out his energy stick and batteries." Videl thought, she stopped to reexamined her words, "I think I been hanging out with Erasa too much."

"Uugghhaa…"

Videl and Gohan both turned to the noise of Marron waking up, Gohan was the first to react by going and sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked Marron in the face as her rubbed her head gently. "How are you feeling?"

"I hurt all over." Marron relied weakly.

"I would image so." Gohan didn't really have to as he recalled all injuries he had earn in combat and training from cuts and scrapes to broken limbs including the broken neck he suffered at the hands of Reacoom.

"Do you think that you could try mediating?" Gohan asked, "It will help with pain."

"Ok, I think I heard your mommy?"

"That would be nice she would cook up all sorts of good food for us too eat." Gohan answered as helped Marron into a sitting position.

"Do you think my mommy would come with her?" Marron asked.

"You better believe it. I bet they would fight to see who got here first."

Marron giggled as clapped her hands together and winced from the pain radiated from the broken bones and other injuries as she rested her arms on her crossed legs she made 'O.K.' signs with her hands.

Videl watched as Marron leaned her head forward and started to hum a strong steady note which slowly drifted away. "Good she is asleep." Videl said as she reached out to lay Marron back down only to have Gohan grab her hands and pull them and her away. "Son Gohan, You better let go."

"Because of her injuries, your touch will break her focus." Gohan said in a calm and soothing manner.

At first Videl tried to yank her hands free of his grasp in a moment of anger only find that her hands are still firmly in Gohan's grip, she tried again harder his time to no avail, "That'd some grip he has there." again this time she put all she had into it with no success, "Does this means we are going steady because if does then you have meet my dad." Videl stated as she stared at Gohan with a face that she had seen Angela make at Gohan who in turn looked if would gnaw his own arm off to get away.

Gohan eyes double in size as he panicked for a moment as his memory flash back to when his mother would apply that same look to his father before he got a tongue lashing with a beating from the frying pan. Quickly released her hands from his grasp and stuffed his hands in his pockets, "I can teach you to fly with you want to learn." Gohan said as he tried to steer the conversation in some other direction, any other direction.

Videl spotted the panic which would cause a distraction allowing her to capitalize on it, "I suppose this means you will have to feel me up. Would it be easier if I took off my clothes?" Videl asked as she started to take off her yellow poke-a-dot bikini.

Gohan blew a mental sigh of relieve as the look on Videl's face changed, he started to relax till she opened her mouth. Gohan was thrown back in shock at the latest development his' eyes bulged as Videl start to remove her bikini her. She was at an angle to him with her head looking slightly down away from him but still making eye contact as she reached behind her to unhook her top. Her back foot was planted firmly as she stood on the toes of her front foot bending her knee slightly, "Wow! Why on…? Wait a… What!" Gohan stammer, "NO! Hold on a minute." Gohan yelled as he waved his hands in front of him.

"What's the matter if I'm going to learn how to fly then You have to feel me up right?" Videl asked.

"Why me?" Gohan thought as he rolled his eyes, "No, I feel as in sense your energy as it radiates from your body."

"Are you sure you don't want a feel?" Videl asked. "Damn it, I was so close, but I did get the blood flowing in the right direction!" Videl thought as she glanced at Gohan's pants.

"Not now… No… I mean," Gohan blushed as he looked for the right words, "I think you should go change." He said as turned his back to her.

"So close" She thought, "Okay." Videl answered as she went to the closet which had assigned to her. "Where is Goten?" she asked as she collected several items.

"Oh, he's off collecting the remains of the T-rex for dinner tonight." Gohan answered.

"So does that mean Trunks and Goten eat like you too?" Videl asked she pulled on a pair of white shorts.

"What you do mean?" Gohan stuttered.

"Please, I have watched you eat lunch at school, you try to hide on the roof." Videl stated.

"I got to pay more attention when I'm eating." Gohan thought out loud.

"You don't have to tell me about it, Erasa and I could come right up to you and take food right off the table you didn't even notice." Videl said as pulled on a blue shirt, "By the way I should thank you, We didn't have to eat the cafeteria food after Erasa discovered your food trance, which I don't blame you, for it is the best I have ever eaten." She declared.

"Well, I hear what you cook up is nothing to sneeze at too." Gohan returned the complement.

"Thanks, I have no idea how -Your Mom right?- your Mom cooks in such vast quantities and still manages such great quality."

"Well, I guess you will have to write a thank you and ask her to tutor you." Gohan said.

"I will, when we get back." Videl replied, that's when she noticed that Gohan was still had his back to her. "Ok, you can turn around you now."

Gohan turned to see Videl dressed in blue short sleeved shirt that barely made it to her midriff and a pair of white shorts through which he could see the yellow bikini with its multicolored dots. "What is with Videl's sudden change in appearance(Not to mention the attitude change)? Not that I mind or anything, but this is a little confusing. I think I better confront her on this issue… no that wouldn't such a good idea I remember what happen to Karen when she confront Videl on her clothing choice but I wouldn't called Videl that either. I will ask in polite friendly tones from a nice safe distance two, three miles should be safe enough, but I will have pray to Dende…err, Kami first.

"Gohan?" Videl said his name hoping to draw Gohan back to reality, "Gohan!" Videl called out as she tapped bare foot on the floor, "GOHAN!" Videl yelled.

"I'm sorry, Videl, I was thinking." Gohan apologized as he scratched the back if this head.

"Yes, I could tell from the smoke pouring out your ears." The sarcasm dripping from Videl's retort. "Where do you hide the Saiy-man costume?"

"The costume?"

"Yes, the costume." Videl stepped up to the table and picked up Gohan's wristwatch and looked at it, It reminded her of hers which had been sitting beside Gohan's. They both had large, wide faces with small digital read outs as well a extra pair of large buttons. "It must be in this watch." Videl proclaimed as she slip the watch over her hand and pressed the bottom button and the room darkened. "Whoa!" Videl exclaimed as she removed the helmet to find that body suit tunic fit perfectly.

"The watch automatically tailors the outfit to fit the person who is wearing the watch." Gohan answered the question without having to be asked.

"Ok." Videl pressed the same button and was returned to her clothing. "Now, the big question is why the costume?"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't play games, Gohan, You are the Golden Warrior that showed up days before you came to school and when the Golden Warrior disappeared and Saiy-man surfaced I figured the they where and the same, but why I asked myself, whywould he start wearing that lame outfit and do those stupid dance moves unless he, that is you wanted to hide the fact that you where the Golden Warrior. What I don't get is why did you switch to the goofball hero?" Videl paused and looked at Gohan, "Unless you wanted to distract people so they would forget about the Golden Warrior." Videl paused again, "The Golden Warriors from the Cell games, Trunks' dad, your dad, one other Marron's mom maybe and a kid…you." Videl's eyes bulged, "You where at the Cell games, certainly not Goten or Trunks they're too young." Videl smiled at her clever evaluation. "Ok, you didn't want the world to find out that why?"

"Normalcy."


Author's Note:
Well there is two firsts for me in this chapter, first there are no foot notes. Why? Maybe I was lazy or in my mind that I felt I did a good enough job and I didn't need any, personally I'm going with the first explanation. The second is that almost all of this chapter is a conversation between two people, this has to be on of the hardest chapters I have ever written. There is still a bit more of this conversation to go but it should be short hopefully.

I was looking through the manga seeking images of Videl's watch when I noticed Videl is left-handed. At anytime in the manga she is holding her pen in her left hand or it is to her left side. I normally place my pens and pencils to the left of me and also she is hold the handcuffs in her left hand supported by her right, but Videl's watch is on her left hand. I think Trunks is Left-handed as well because I noticed that on the cover that his watch is on his right arm and being left-handed myself, I tend to put my watch on that arm as well.
