-----Chapter Twelve-----

Gohan could tell that something was wrong as soon as she came to work later that day. She looked restless and very annoyed. She barely looked at him and when she spoke, she sounded very edgy. Not wanting to upset her even more, Gohan made sure they had plenty of space from each other.

The office was quiet, except for the clanking of metal parts being moved. As she sat there, she saw more images and heard things that seemed to have been said a long time ago.

She remembered her second date with Gohan and the nights they spent staying up late and babysitting his little brother. Were her memories coming back? Not wanting to cause too much of an uproar, she decided she'd keep things to herself until she finally remembered… Not that she'd be able to remember once all of her memories had returned.

Suddenly, she got a headache. She looked up as she noticed two strong hands on her table. She saw Gohan, his face masked with worry.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"No. I'm not okay," she snapped and took off.

Gohan decided to stay at work later than he was supposed to. He had nothing better to do at home so he decided to work on some more inventions. Bulma had even told him to close up since she was going out on a date on Vegeta. Gohan had to laugh at that. Vegeta being civilized… Well, at least he was trying.

Humming to himself, he sat at his desk, tinkering with his invention. He was the only one there, or so he thought. He looked up at the sound of someone coming in.

"Videl?"

She looked very ashamed of herself. She sat down on his desk.

"Uh, did you forget something?" he asked as he set down his tools.

Videl shook her head. She looked at the floor. She felt terrible for how she'd acted before. She'd spoken so rudely to him when he was just simply concerned about her well-being. She felt like bashing her head against the wall as the thought of Gohan thinking she was mad at him for the previous nights' events occurred to her.

"Gohan, about earlier this afternoon," she began but never go the chance to finish. Gohan had held up a hand to stop her. She couldn't tell if he was mad or not.

"Don't apologize, I'm sure you had a terrible—"

"Sharpner." Videl blurted out. She didn't have time for his understanding speech.

Gohan looked both hurt and confused.

"My name's Gohan…"

Videl sighed. "I know you're Gohan but what I meant was… My dad came back from one of his random trips, with Sharpner."

Gohan scratched his head. "Isn't that good? You and Sharpner are friends after all."

Videl shook her head. Had he completely forgotten? "No… Sharpner had—has—excuse me, the hots for me. Have you forgotten that little fact?"

Gohan glared. "You remembered that huh?"

"Oh give me a break! Look, the reason this upsets me is because my dad's saying he's my boyfriend—"

"And you're going to believe him right? Just like how you believed he beat Cell? Then again, he made everyone believe—"

"Will you shut up? Who's Cell? Argh! Look, I may not remember falling in love with you, or any of the memories we share but I do know that I love you."

She let out another sigh. "I just… I just wish I could remember everything to do with you already."

He looked at her, a small smile on his face. "I want you to remember too, but don't rush yourself. Someone once told me, that life is full of tests. There's no right or wrong answer at all. The tests just help determine your life and who you are and I think this is a test. A test to see if we really are for each other." Gohan said.

"So… You're saying if I don't remember you, we're not supposed to be together?" she didn't like the sound of that.

"A test to see if we can hold on."

Videl held onto him. "Gohan," she whispered. "I want to remember… Please help me remember…"

Gohan…

Help…

Help me…

Help me remember…

Help me…
