-----Chapter One-----

It didn't come as a shock that Gohan came late for dinner. He was always late. It wasn't anything new to anyone who knew him.

"Gohan!" Goten exclaimed tackling his brother.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I had to do something at work," Gohan apologized.

"So? You still came! Come on, mom and dad are setting the table."

The two brothers walked to the kitchen together, discussing what they'd done for the day.

"Gohan!" Chichi exclaimed rushing to her son and hugged him tight, showering his face with kisses. "Oh it's been so long!"

"Mom," Gohan said slightly blushing. "I was just here last week."

"Hey Gohan!" Goku gave him a high five, followed by a hug. "How's it going?"

"Good. Good," to Gohan, they were acting stranger and happier than usual. They were almost… Too happy to see him… They sat at the table and began to eat.

Gohan was surprised by his family's silence, except of course for Goten who never stopped talking but Gohan was glad. At least he could avoid the awkwardness. It wasn't hard to figure out what was wrong. It was obvious from the worried looks his parents were exchanging that they knew about Videl.

"So, you watched the TV program with…" Gohan trailed off.

"We were so surprised—"

"She looked really well—"

"I heard she's remembered everything but—"

"Me." Gohan sighed. "Look, it's okay if she can't remember me. If she doesn't want to… Okay. Don't worry about me."

"You… You don't care?" Goku asked.

Gohan smiled, but it wasn't a real smile. "No, it's not that I don't care dad, it's just… There's no point in forcing her to remember anything. Okay? So let's just change the subject, please."

Goten watched his brother closely. He may have been young when Gohan and Videl had begun dating but he knew they loved each other more than anything. And when Gohan lost her… Goten saw him fall apart… Even now, through his brother's phony smiles, he knew Gohan still loved her.

Once dinner was over, Gohan decided to head home. Just as he was about to lift up into the air, he heard a voice calling out to him. He turned around to see Goten running to him.

"Goten—"

Goten hugged him tight. "Bye Gohan. Feel better soon."

"But—"

"You're heart… It's still broke…"

Gohan looked away for a moment before kneeling down. He looked Goten in the eye. It saddened him that he made those he cared about worry about him. He smiled as best to his ability.

"I appreciate the concern Goten, but I'm okay. Really," Gohan assured him. "Now, promise me, that you won't do anything… About this."

Ruffling his little brother's hair, Gohan took off for his apartment. As soon as he came home, Gohan went to the bathroom for a nice hot shower. Closing his eyes, he let the hot water flow down his body…

Gohan… You're the best thing that ever happened to me…

Come on! Teach me how to fly or I'll expose you to everyone!

Do you… Like girls with short hair?

He shook his head, causing the water to splatter against the wall and shower curtain. He placed his hands against the wall, still shaking his head, trying to shake away the memories…

I'll always be here for you…

"Stop," Gohan mumbled.

Her laughter…

Her smile…

Her eyes…

"STOP IT!" the young saiyan grabbed at his hair. The pain from being apart from her hurt so much. Tears began to fall from his eyes.

How could she remember?

She remembered everything but you

How?

"Videl…"

Buttoning up his shirt, Gohan stepped outside to the balcony to get some fresh air. He stared down at the cars that zoomed by for a moment before looking up at the moon…

The moon…

The first time he realized that the moon was back was when he noticed the moonlight had illuminated Videl's face the first time he kissed her. The moon had shone brightly in her eyes… He remembered getting lost in them…

He wondered where and what she was doing now…

Erasa sat on the windowsill just staring up at the velvet sky covered by millions of stars. Her attention was brought back to the bathroom door within the blue colored walls. After a click, Videl came out wearing her pajamas.

"It's a bit cold… Why are you looking at me like that?" Videl asked confused.

"You're wearing those… Pajamas," Erasa pointed out.

Videl looked down at her clothes. She was wearing her favorite pair of red pajamas with yellow rabbits imprinted all over it. She wasn't sure where she got it… but she loved it.

"What's wrong with it?" Videl asked.

Erasa didn't respond. Her best friend may not have known it, but she did. Those were the pajamas Videl and Gohan picked out during their one-week anniversary. Videl had picked out a green pair with purple smiley faces for Gohan. Erasa shook her head.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," Erasa replied. "So, what's it like to be back here?"

Videl climbed into bed and looked at Erasa. It was good to be back but there were just so many questions she had. The major thing that bothered her most was the feeling of something being lost. Missing… but what?

"It's… I just haven't remembered that much. I still feel there's something more to remember…" Videl sighed.

Erasa's heart went out to her, but she was worried about Gohan the most. He'd loved her so much… and for her to be just taken away like that… she couldn't even imagine what he was, or had, gone through.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll remember more," Erasa assured her.

Erasa shut the windows and turned off the lights before joining Videl in bed. She wanted very much to mention Gohan to see her reaction but Mr. Satan had strictly forbidden the name to be said in his home. Erasa was too terrified of the "World Champion" to ever try it.

Slowly, but surely, Videl fell asleep. She couldn't explain it but she was always tired… All she wanted to do was sleep. She found that she remembered more than sleeping.

Once she was fast asleep, Erasa slowly got out of bed and walked downstairs. She took out her cell phone and began to dial…

-----

BRIING! BRIING! BRIING!

Gohan took a moment before deciding to answer the phone. He looked at his clock. Quarter to ten. Sighing, he picked up the phone.

"Hello, Gohan speaking…"

"G-Gohan?"

Gohan frowned. "Who is this?"

"It's… It's Erasa. Do you remember?"

"E-Erasa? Well, hi! Of course I remember," he felt relieved. He was worried it was someone else…

"How've you been?"

Gohan wasn't sure what to say. "I've been okay," was all he could say. He was surprised why she suddenly called. "How… How about you? How've you been?"

"I'm… I've been okay. I'm sure you're wondering why I called."

"A little bit, but it's not a big deal. It's nice to hear from you," Gohan replied before taking a seat on the sofa.

"Videl—"

"Yeah I know."

There was a long silence.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Erasa asked. She sounded worried.

"Yeah. I'm fine," he replied a little curtly.

"Well, it was nice to hear from you. Maybe we should get together for some coffee."

"I'd like that…"

"Well, goodnight."

Gohan nodded, but it was pointless. It wasn't like Erasa could see him. "Goodnight."

He put the phone back where it was and went to his room. He lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. It felt like people from his past were coming back…

"Videl…"

I didn't mean to fall

In love with you

And baby there's a name…

For what you put me through…

It isn't love it's robbery…

I'm sleeping with the ghost…

Of you and me…

I love you Gohan

I always will
