It's midnight, and I still can't sleep. I decide that I'm going to go on the computer for a bit. Maybe that will calm me down. As soon as I connect to the internet, someone instant messages me, and it's my friend Erasa.

-Hey Videl! Guess what! I just did you a HUGE favour!- types Erasa

-What?- I respond

-I asked Sharpener if you and him were still going out!-

-Okay so?- I reply

-Well, here's the whole conversation, I'll show you!- says Erasa

(A/N Erasa and Sharpener are now instant messaging...Sharpener is in italics, Erasa isn't)

Erasa: Hey Sharpener! Are you and Videl still going out?

Sharpener: ya why?

Erasa: oo

Erasa: i wasnt sure cause i asked about you and she look kinda sad-ish

Erasa: and then I asked her why and she said "well I really wanted to hug and hold hands
with sharpener but hes really shy and so am I and erasa you said he wasnt prudish! so what do I do? and people say that the guy should make the first move.. seriously we havent even kissed on teh cheek.. or hugged! but i REALLY like him a lot so what do i do? you're the pro!"

Sharpener: uggh

Sharpener: I'm not prudish

Erasa: Well you guys have been going out for like 2 weeks? And you haven't hugged or held hands or kissed on the cheek (at least)

Sharpener: We've gone out once, she's really busy

Sharpener: soooooo

Erasa: sooo what?

Erasa: are you going to stop being a prude and make some moves or what?

Erasa: are you going to un-square her?

Sharpener: ya I think

Sharpener: your not like telling her everything I say r u?

Erasa: OF COURSE NOT!

Sharpener: good

Sharpener: some ppl I know do stuff like that you know?

Erasa: ya I just want to know because she really does like you, she wants to be close like hold hands and talk

Sharpener: ya gtg

At this point, I've already signed off. I don't want to talk to Erasa anymore. I'm scared, and I can't stop scaring at the screen. My blood runs cold, and my mind can't seem to process what's happened.

How could she?

How dare she?

I don't even think I like Sharpener! I dread seeing him at school! I was planning out break-up scene! How dare she do this?

And then one line seems to jump out at me-

Are you going to un-square her?

Ya I think

I don't want him to kiss me, it would be much much much much too akward!

Aren't girls supposed to be happy that their boyfriends are planning on making out with them?

NOT mad and scared.

I don't even think like him!

I suddenly feel dreadfully cold. I can't break up with him, not after what Erasa has said. And what if Gohan finds out that I have a boyfriend? He definetly won't be interested in me then! What if this happens to me in all my future relationships? I know this sounds incredibly corny, but I just want to be free again! Free to worry about other things, and never have to think about Sharpener!

I switch off my computer, and flop down into bed. My eyes slowly close, and I begin to drift off into sleep, my brain still running a mile a minute.

The next morning, I wake up with just enough time to take a shower, eat breakfast, and get ready for school. However, as I stand in the bathtub with the hot water pouring over my body, an idea starts forming in my mind

"Daddy, I don't feel very well" I say in a tired voice

My dad looked up from his newspaper, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"Uh…erm..I have a headache!" I said

"Well Videl, if you'd like, you can stay home from school today," my dad says

Inwardly, I cheer. YES! A whole day of rest from going to school and having to talk to Sharpener!

Of course I still have to go to school the next day, but at least I'm free for today!

A cold feeling invades my mind. Sharpener will be expecting our relationship to move forward, what am I going to do? But I push it away. At least I can avoid all these feelings until tomorrow.

As soon as my dad has left the house to go train people at his training facility a few miles away, I march straight out of the door, 'headache' forgotten. I'm just on my way to have a sip of coffee, a yummy drink that can always erase the stress from my mind. Before I've reached the peaceful coffee shop a few blocks away, my watch starts beaping.

Damn, it's the police. They call me from time to time when they really need my help.

Theres a message appearing on my watch:

Videl, there's been a robbery at the jewelry store on Broadview

There are hostages

I start running in the other direction, trying to get to Broadview on time to stop those robbers!

It only takes me a couple of minutes to arrive, but when I do get there, panting and sweating, but ready to fight, at first I can't see anyone.

Then I spot the police, hiding under bushes a few metres away.

I run in, knowing that if the police are still in the area, then it can't be that bad. As soon as I get inside, a robber points a gun at my face.

"Hey missy, we're here for some dough, and you're not gonna do nothin bout it!" he says in a gruff voice

In answer, I kick up high and knock the gun out of his hands, hit his head hard, and watch as he falls to the ground, unconscious.

Before I have time to gloat over my small victory, I feel an arm circle around my neck, gradually tightening it's hold. That's when I spot the small crowd of people huddling in the corner, scared out of their wits.

"Oh no," I think desperately, "Is this the end?"

Black spots start to swim in front of my eyes. I feel woozy and light headed, but just before I slip into unconsciousness, I hear a crash from behind me. The robber is so startled that he loses his grip on my throat, and I am able to slip away. My knees buckle, and I end up kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. I glance around to see what made the robber lose control, and as soon as my vision clears I can see what happened.

There is a person (I think it's a man) standing beside us. He is wearing a ridiculous looking costume of a helmet and strange leotard like thing. He starts doing some strang dance, and the robber bursts out laughing. I don't blame him, I can barely hold in the giggles myself!

"STOP LAUGHING!" he yells

His madness only adds to the enemy's laughter. While he's laughing, I get up to pin him to the ground, but the man beats me too it. He's so fast, I didn't even see him move!

"I am Saiyaman, and don't you forget it!" he says before he knocks the robber out.

Saiyaman turns to me and smiles.

"Hey Videl! Great work here!" he said, then he flew, that's right FLEW away.

There was something familiar about him, and that's really annoying! Why have I been having all these weird feelings of familiarity lately? And who is this weird Saiyaman guy…who can fly?

I'm just so confused! And I'm dreading tomorrow, when I will have to talk to my boyfriend. Although, seeing Gohan makes tomorrow seem just a bit happier.

As soon as I walked through my front door when I arrived back at my house, I knew what I had to do to end this confusion I was going through.

I lounged about at home for a few hours, all the time wondering who that mysterious man was, and I also wondered about that strange police call, where that blond hair man saved me. For some reason, Saiyaman, blond guy, and Gohan all seemed to be fluttering around my mind.

After I while, I fall into a deep peaceful sleep. When I wake up, I prepare to leave the house. I was something important to do, if I can make it to my school in time.
