"Triple Threat"
Chapter 11: "Consolation"
Vegeta simply said, "Foolish girl."
Cell watched in amusement as the human girl tried to protect the saiyan's dead body
Bulma and Yamcha were the first to reach Videl. The others were close behind. Bulma whispered. "She... She won't wake up, guys. I...I think she's dead..."
Yamcha looked down at the ground. "Videl... the poor girl. Atleast she's now with the one... she loves."
They all looked up at Cell angrily.
Goten gasped and pointed to the ground. "Look! They're gone!"
"What?" Bulma jerked her head to where Goten pointed. "They're gone! Their bodies must not have been able to endure the blast."
"Have you forgot about the Dragonballs?" Vegeta asked, annoyed, and flew up to face Cell. We need to fight somewhere else. It's too dangerous for them here." and vanished into the clouds.
Cell smirked. "It seems Vegeta has gotten soft."
Inside the house-
"Thank you, Gohan." Videl whispered. "You don't know it, but you saved my life. That blast could've killed me. But then again, we could be together and I could tell you how I really felt. I just wish I knew if you felt the same way... You saved me one last time, Gohan, and I thank you for that..."
Goodbye.
Funny how that's such a hard thing to say.
Now it's time to let go but Never thought I'd feel this way. Promise not to be sad but.
We both knew I was lyin.
Gotta fight back those tears.
'Cuz.
Can't let you see me crying.
You're more than just my best friend.
What makes me miss you most of all In our final curtain call Is knowing that I won't see you.
Again...
"V-Videl?" Bulma broke the silence.
When Videl looked up, she saw Chichi, Bulma, and Yamcha looking at her "Yeah, it's me." Videl said, her voice still crackling from crying.
"But... we thought you were dead after..."
Videl looked at Gohan. "He... saved me one last time."
flashback-
When Videl jumped, all she could hear was the roaring sound of the blast.
The pressure forced Videl forward. When she hit Gohan, she saw a small piece of a senzu bean in his teeth. She quickly snatched it from his mouth and put it her own. With renewed energy, she dogded the blast just in time.
end of flashback-
"...and then I quickly came in here. It was hectic out there."
"Aw, how sweet!" Chichi squealed. "Young love... I remember how me and Goku were. When we fought in the World Mar-"
Bulma stopped her. "Chichi, I think we need to leave her alone." She led Chichi out of the house.
Yamcha followed, but Videl stopped him. "Wait, Yamcha."
He turned around to face her. She had tears in her eyes where she had been crying. "Yamcha, tell me the truth. Is there a way to revive him?"
Yamcha remembered what Vegeta had said earlier about the Dragonballs. "Yes, Videl. There is a way to revive Gohan."
"The Dragonballs?"
Yamcha nodded. "They are seven orange balls. When you gather them together and summon the Eternal Dragon, you get 2 wishes."
"It can bring people back to life?"
"It sure can."
"Yamcha, thank you."
"For what?"
"For everything. For telling the truth, and... being good friend... just like Gohan said."
Yamcha went over and hugged her. "It's OK. You'll see Gohan again soon."
And, so, Videl fell asleep on Yamcha's shoulder.
I know it's short, but maybe the next chapter(which is called "Hopeful Dreaming") will make up for it.
Luna's Meow: Yes, Cell got stronger. Frieza did also.
I also don't own Pokemon. The song came from my favorite episode, "Gotta Catch Ya' Later!"
