-----Chapter Eighteen-----

Hercule was sitting out in the lobby waiting anxiously for news about his daughter. Since he'd caused the commotion, the doctor had asked him to step out. He was biting his nails when he heard the door open. He scoffed when he saw that it was just Gohan.

"Oh, it's just you," Hercule mumbled.

Gohan rolled his eyes. "Look, I don't exactly like you either but I do care about your daughter so I have to put up with you."

"What makes you think I'll let you date my Videl?" Hercule asked smugly.

"One; I'll date her anyway with or without your consent. Two; She isn't going to listen to you anyway and three; I'll go super saiyan three and beat your sorry ass down."

Gohan sighed as he saw how terrified Hercule had become. "I was joking… Well, the last part anyway. Mr. Satan, I love your daughter more than anything and I'd never hurt her. You've seen what I can do and I promise to protect your daughter from harm. Hell, I'd protect her from you if she asked. My point is, Videl and I love each other and it'd make her happy if you just left her alone."

Hercule looked up at him. "You gunna marry her?"

Gohan blushed. "In due time, but for now… I just want to be with her without having to worry about you."

Hercule sighed. "Alright. You can date my daughter… I just want her to be happy…"

Gohan blinked. "Really?"

"You don't want to?"

"Yeah! I do! Thank you."

Their relationship being somewhat patched up, the two exchanged a hug, glad to have their bitter relationship gone.


Author's Note: Okay, I decided to post up the short chapters to get it over with because it was bothering me to just let it sit in my folder... Lol I hope you don't mind though. I apologize for their shortness but once again, if I'd made it longer, well it'd just suck $$ so heh let me know what you think and thanks for reading! YEEE it's almost over '(
