-----Chapter Six

Outside, the crickets chirped, the owls hooted and the blowing wind rustled the leaves on the trees. Though the sounds helped calm and lull the two residents of the Son house, one was still awake, thinking and pacing in his room.

"Wait a minute," the young saiyan halted and shook his head. The sun was about to rise in two hours but the saiyan felt no fatigue, only confusion.

"I shouldn't care that some guy is sending her ridiculous idiotic letters." But he did care. He cared a lot.

"I have to find out who this guy is! He's probably some psycho killer or something," he said as if trying to convince that he wasn't worrying about this because he was worried his chances with Videl were being obliterated, but because he was worried his friend might be in harm's way.

He was about to go back to pacing when he sensed a familiar energy level. He looked out the window to see Piccolo standing on a tree branch. Gohan quickly climbed out of his window and joined his master.

"Can't sleep can you?" Piccolo asked.

"Not really," sighed Gohan.

"Its that buffoon's daughter isn't it?" Piccolo asked knowingly. "You like her?"

Gohan blushed. "Yeah…"

"Some guy moving in on your turf?"

"Yes! No! Not in that way… I'm just worried because… See there's been someone sending her letters and flowers and I'm worried it's some nut who's just out to get her," Gohan explained unusually running out of breath.

"Are you planning on being with this girl?"

Gohan's face got redder. "No! I'm just concerned as her friend."

Piccolo scoffed. "I never knew you were such a coward, Gohan."

"I'm not a coward! Look, I like Videl, but just because I like her doesn't necessarily mean I have to ask her out!"

"But you do." Piccolo chuckled.

"What do you know about this kind of thing anyway? You're an alien," Gohan shot back before going back inside his room to get some sleep.

----

Is it that guy? Or maybe him? Nah… he's too preppy.

Videl sat on the bleachers at the back of the school looking over possibilities of who might be her gentleman caller. None of the boys at school seemed to fit her idea. She pictured him, whoever it was, to be smart, funny, handsome, and kind. So far, her only two possibilities were Gohan and a boy in her class named Token. There was Sharpner too but he wasn't any of this things. In fact, he was quite the opposite in her books.

Her eyes fell upon a nice looking student with wavy brown locks, well built body, and dark blue eyes. She smiled. He looked like someone who wrote cheesy love letters. She smiled at the thought of him being her secret admirer but that thought was completely diminished when another student came by and kissed him on the cheek. It wouldn't have been a problem but it was another guy.

Okay… it's definitely not him, she thought.

"Hey Videl," Gohan greeted her as he joined her. "How come you're over here?"

"Oh hi Gohan. Nothing, I was just looking around. Wanted to be alone I guess," she replied.

"Oh, sorry. I guess I—"

"Stay."

"Oh. Okay." As she looked around, Gohan fiddled with the button on his vest. "Videl?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you… Have any idea who could be your…"

"Secret admirer?"

Gohan had become silent. Did he really want to talk about this with her? Knowing her, she'd probably get upset and he really didn't want to upset her.

"You know, when I was little… I always wanted a secret admirer," Videl said.

Gohan didn't know what to say so he simply nodded.

"Now that I have one… It feels… It makes me feel special."

Blushing, Gohan replied, "You've always been special, and not because you're the daughter of the guy who "beat" cell."

Videl turned to him, smiling. "Thanks Gohan. You keep this up and I might think you'remy secret admirer."

Gohan laughed nervously. Now he really had to find this guy.

-----

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Trunks couldn't find a single two-piece suit in his father's closet. Sighing, he picked up the next best thing. A pair of dark colored jeans, a red polo shirt and a black windbreaker with Capsule Corp written on the back. He stuffed the clothes into a bag and flew out the window.

-----

"Hey," a cool voice said from behind.

Videl turned around and saw Token right behind her, smiling. She blinked several times before it sunk in that he was talking to her.

"Uh, hi," she replied sheepishly. She couldn't believe he was actually talking to her. She felt like a silly high school girl.

"I'm Token, I'm in your class," he reached and took her hand to shake it.

"Yeah. I'm Videl."

Token nodded. "I've been wanting to meet you but I've always got something to do."

"Oh."

"You wanna grab a bite?"

She was surprised to be asked so suddenly. Could he be her secret admirer?

"Yes." She replied.

"Great. Let's go."

"N-now? But we have class," Videl replied.

"Don't worry, they never notice. Come on."

Giggling stupidly, she followed him out of the school.

-----

Gohan looked around the classroom searching for Videl but she wasn't there. He meant to ask Erasa but didn't want her to think he was jealous, even though secretly he was. Sighing, he settled himself in his chair and focused his attention on the lesson. Or at least he tried to.

-----

As they walked through the park, Videl couldn't help but think that Token and Gohan were a lot alike.

They were both very smart and enjoyed training. They were both very kind but that was where the similarities ended. Where Gohan was quiet, Token wasn't a tiny bit shy. Where Gohan was somewhat easy to manipulate and boss around, Token wasn't. Where Gohan studied mostly all the time, Token didn't and where Gohan wasn't that much of a troublemaker, didn't own a vehicle, Token did.

"I live not far from here actually. Just a block away," Token told her.

Videl nodded. "Wow." What else could she say?

They'd eaten at a nice corner diner and now they were having a nice stroll. Videl blushed at the thought of Token kissing her. Her heart began to pound as he stopped and turned to her. She looked up into his pale green blue eyes. Her breath got caught in her throat as he slowly leaned down, closing the space between their lips.

"Videl?"

Videl looked around and found Gohan standing not far away. She couldn't read his face, but he looked hurt.

"Gohan," she asked. Before she could say more, Gohan had gone. "GOHAN!"
