Wow, um… wow. I got so many reviews! This is amazing! I mean, I first wrote the summary, and I was like, "Man, people won't be interested in this story!" but you were! Wee! Thank you very much.

A/N: I didn't explain how the story is set up before, sorry. Ok, The Reverse Series consists of four sections: "The Beginning", "Love Life", "Reunion", and "Finale". I'm sorry, but in "The Beginning", Gohan and Videl don't necessarily hook up. They do that in "Love Life". However, this section is, obviously, the beginning of their relationship. So, sorry if I got your hopes up. This section will probably only have six chapters or so.

Sheik's twin: LoL, that's ok, I didn't know what 'TBC' meant for a while either. It means "To Be Continued."

Kin Kawaii: That was an, um… interesting conversation. I'm glad all three of you liked it…

RyukoGirl: Not that I mind, but did you read every one of my stories? LoL, I get these reviews from stories I haven't updated in years, and I'm like "Wow, this person must really like my work." So, I'm very happy that you decided to read my other stories, and I'm glad you liked them. Thank you!

Hippiechic: I went back to see what you meant by "rushed" and I noticed that the borders I typed in to separate different settings had mysteriously disappeared. Maybe that's why you thought it was rushed. Or maybe not. Oh, and don't worry about giving out criticism. As long as it's constructive and polite, I really don't mind. Actually, I need all the help I can get! So if you have any more tips, I'd be very grateful. Thanks.

SSJ3MysticGohan: Yeah, see, I did put borders between the parts where Gohan bumps into Videl and when he goes outside, but for some reason they didn't show up on the site. Sorry. I'll try to come up with more… visible borders.

chimney leaf: You know what, maybe I will continue with my deadbeat stories. Because, honestly, I do like them. It's just that I get writer's block a lot and that kind of ruins the story. But you are very kind. Thank you.

To all those who reviewed: Thanks a million!

A lot of you mentioned that you liked The Divine Comedy. I think that's awesome!

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or The Divine Comedy.

Chapter Two

"C'mon, Gohan! Come to the mall with us!" Sharpner pleaded, his friends cheering in agreement.

Gohan grinned nervously and put a hand behind his head, "Ok, but I gotta call my mom first." Gohan waved to his new friends as he walked off to find a pay phone, "I'll be right back. Wait here, please."

As soon as he was out of earshot, Gohan's friends started talking amongst themselves. "Son Gohan? World hero? Asking his mom for permission?"

"Hey, shut up!" Erasa cried, her green eyes narrowing in an attempted death glare (A/N: LoL, I wrote that Sharpner had green eyes, and someone told me he had brown. So, Erasa does have green eyes, right?). "You have no right to make fun of a perfectly nice boy."

The others looked shamefaced and scuffed their feet on the ground. The rest simply hid their grinning faces as Gohan came rushing back, saying, "My mom says it's ok, but I gotta be home by eight."

Sharpner's tanned cheeks suddenly looked flushed. 'Oh, man, Gohan, do you know how much of a mama's boy you look right now?' he thought with enough embarrassment for the both of them. "Uh, sure, Gohan," Sharpner muttered, and the group headed towards the mall.

OoOoOoOoOoO (A/N: that's a border, just so you know.)

The large group of friends all huddled around the car racing game at the arcade. It was Sharpner versus Erasa.

The high school kids laughed when Erasa took up Sharpner's challenge, joking that Erasa had never driven a car in her life, or even been in one for that matter. But they all quickly shut their mouths and watched in awkward silence as they saw Erasa in the lead by a lap.

Gohan, never having taken must interest in games or cars, (being able to fly and all) started looking around and spotted a familiar classmate across the way.

She was in front of a shop that was opposite the arcade and she held a rather large box with both hands. She was looking at something in the store window. Gohan followed her gaze and noticed it was a dark blue evening gown.

Gohan looked back at Videl and noticed she was staring at the dress with a sense of longing. The whole scene looked rather peculiar. From what Erasa told him, Videl was the type of girl to go out for the guys' football team and make every position with top ranking. But now, looking at her gaze at the dress as if she wanted to wear it, made all of Gohan's thoughts on Videl the tomboy completely vanish.

It was a clean slate from now on, Gohan promised.

Without realizing what he was doing, Gohan walked out of the arcade and towards the unsuspecting window shopper.

'You shouldn't do this,' he thought, but still not stopping, 'Just leave her alone. She doesn't like you.'

But Gohan wasn't really listening to his thoughts as he said, "The dress matches your eyes." He almost flinched when he saw Videl go rigid and dropped the box out of surprise. 'Good job, you idiot. I try to warn you, but you make a fool of yourself anyway.'

Videl cursed and started to pick the box up, but Gohan beat her to it. Videl glared at him as he straightened, but looked back at the dress and said, crossing her arms, "I hate dresses. And proms."

"Really?" Gohan asked in disbelief, utterly confused. He thought of Bulma and his mother and every other human female he knew, "But I thought all women liked dresses. Well, at least the ones I know," Gohan explained.

"Well, I don't," Videl said so firmly, Gohan didn't believe her. He grinned inwardly. She looked at the dress again, not noticing Gohan trying to conceal his amusement, "I was just thinking about all the stupid girls who wear those things. I mean, who wants to get gussied up like a Barbie doll just for a guy?"

Gohan ignored the slur about the importance of men as he replied, "Well, what about a guy they love?"

Videl scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Yeah, right. I don't believe in love. Besides, even if I did want the dress, and only if," Videl paused, and said softly, "I couldn't afford it."

Videl stiffened. Wait, what was going on here? Did she just open herself up? And worse, did she just open up to Son Gohan? Something must be wrong. She had to get out of there before she said something else that might embarrass her in the future.

She sighed and looked at Gohan, "Can I have my box back?"

Gohan looked startled. He was so surprised to hear more than a sentence from Videl that he forgot he was holding her box. He was also surprised that Videl actually talked to him without calling him a name or saying anything harsh about him. He got the feeling that she enjoyed talking to him, even thought it was for a split second and he was too shocked to realize it before. Gohan still smiled however and said, "Oh, yeah. Well, why don't I help you carry it out to your car?"

Videl narrowed her dark blue prom dress eyes at him and said, "No, just give me the box."

"Are you sure? It wouldn't be any trou-"

"Now, Gohan," Videl snapped.

Gohan looked at her. Was that amusement that flickered across her graceful yet stern features?

Gohan sighed, grinning slightly, and gave Videl her box.

TBC!

Woo-hoo! Ok, just so you know, I probably won't be able to update for about a week, so don't get your hopes up. Thanks again for the reviews. cringes I hope you like this one. Sorry if it isn't long or ain't that good.

P.O.G.

Bye-Z!
