-----Chapter Nine-----

Erasa couldn't believe her ears. She'd just heard the news that Videl had gotten a job working at Capsule Corp with Gohan. What surprised her the most was when Videl her of the incident at their office.

Erasa hugged her pillow. "Really? Well, I'm glad you and Gohan have finally made some progress."

Videl smiled. "Yeah. I guess I just had to say something."

Erasa giggled. "That is just so cute, Videl. Do you think now you can remember him?"

Videl smiled. She liked that idea. Having back all of her memories. Every single memory would be quite something. The only problem was… her father. How could he react? What would he say?

"Videl," Erasa asked snapping Videl from her thoughts.

"Hmm?"

Erasa smiled. "We'd better get to bed. You and I have work tomorrow."

Videl nodded. "Oh, Erasa… Can you not tell my dad about my job? He thinks I go out to the mall when I'm really at work and I'd like to keep him thinking that."

Erasa nodded. "Of course, now let's turn in. I'm dead tired."

"Pass me that green wire please," Gohan asked politely of his assistant.

Videl passed him the green wire. Why he'd come up with the invention, she had no idea. It was a bit silly. Who would want to buy a self-feeding and cleaning fish tank? She didn't protest very much since Gohan was just absolutely proud of it. It was driving her crazy how he'd keep going on and on about the self-cleaning feature. How could she just say it was silly and burst his precious bubble?

"Do you really think that this is going to work?" Videl asked skeptically as she handed him a screwdriver.

"Videl, how can you just assume that it won't work," Gohan replied. "Are you questioning my intelligence Ms. Satan?"

Videl smirked. "What intelligence?"

Gohan gasped mockingly before turning to her with a look of pure false shock. Videl laughed before punching him playfully on the shoulder. Gohan smiled and stood close to her. Videl immediately stopped laughing and began to feel nervous. He was so close she could smell the soap he'd used that morning. Her blue eyes met with his dark ones and she felt as if the floor had fallen from beneath her.

"You're flirting with me," Gohan smirked. "Hehe."

Videl chuckled before gently pushing him away. "Don't flatter yourself."

She gasped as he took hold of her hands. He leaned close to her, closing the huge gap between them. Videl could feel the butterflies in her stomach flying about as if looking for an escape.

Oh my gosh… he's going to kiss me… she thought. Secretly, she hoped he would…

He leaned in closer. So close that she could feel his warm breath on her cheek.

"Videl," he whispered so softly.

"Yes…" her voice was dazed.

"If you two are going to be mushy, do it outside of my home!" snapped a rough voice.

Gohan immediately stepped away from Videl, blushing. Videl hung her head in disappointment. He was so close to kissing her but thanks to the man standing in the doorway, the moment had been ruined. Damn him!

"Vegeta," Gohan rolled his eyes.

"I see that you and your mate are together again," the prince replied.

Gohan blushed. "We're not together and she… We're not together." Yet. He replied.

"Yet," Vegeta laughed as if reading Gohan's mind. He turned and walked away.

Videl gasped. "He's a prince! A prince of… What was it that he—"

"Whoa, whoa, wait. How do you know that?" Gohan asked suspiciously.

"Just now, I remembered! I remembered him always saying how he was the prince… Of Saiyans and—"

Videl never got to finish her sentence because Gohan had pulled her into a warm, loving embrace. Slowly, smiling to herself, she hugged him back. She grinned. She liked the feeling of being hugged and hugging someone. She could feel every fiber in her body rejoicing.

"You remembered! Videl this is great!" Gohan smiled. She didn't remember him yet but at least she was making some progress. "Let's go celebrate."

"Celebrate?"

Gohan nodded as he pulled away. He had such a huge smile on his face. She just had to smile back.

"Go out to dinner with me tonight," he asked suddenly.

"Like… A date?" Videl asked as she silently cheered in her mind.

"Yes, like a date. Just you and me and—"

Videl laughed. "Okay."

"Great! Tonight at six!"

Videl frowned. He couldn't come by the house. Her father would see and she might be sent away from him once again.

"You can't come to the house," she warned him. "You can't be seen by my father."

Gohan's smile faded. How could he have forgotten?

"I could just meet up with you somewhere." Videl quickly added. "How about that Italian restaurant downtown?"

Gohan began to sweat. He couldn't go there. That was where it had all begun. He couldn't ever picture himself going there again.

"How about this," he suggested. "We have dinner at my place?"

"Oh, well, yeah—"

"Great." He ripped off a piece of paper from his notepad and scribbled down his address. He folded it and handed the piece of paper to her.

"Now that that's settled, let's see if this invention of yours actually works."

Gohan grinned. "Yes, lets."

Author's Note: I apologize for the crappy chapter... I just figured to make it a nice and short simple chapter... Hahahaha turns out, it sort of sucks and is pointless but hey! At least Videl remembered something! And... THEY'RE GOING ON A DATE! Lol, I know, I'm being weird. Anyway, thanks for reviews, and for taking time out of your busy exciting lives to read my pathetic little story. Lol! Also, just to let you know... DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
