I was surprised at how many reviews I had gotten for this story. Expecially considering it's been forever since my last update. But that wasn't something I could help. Our computer crashed, so I wasn't able to update. Now that it's fixed, I can! I really appreciate the reviews, so keep them coming!
"Triple Threat"
Chapter 13: "Your Wish is Granted"
Videl woke to the morning sun beating in her face through the opened window. When she sat up, she noticed that she wasn't beside Yamcha on the couch anymore. She was in bed.
"Well, might as well look around." She shrugged as she stood up and started to walk around.
The room was very neat. So neat, it was unusual.
Everything, besides the bed, of course, was perfect. It was like a neat freak got a hold of this room.
"What? Why is this in here?" She gasped when she saw a photograph of Gohan and Goten. Beside that one was another one. That one had Saiyaman in one of his silly poses. Videl smiled, but quickly frowned.
Gohan's dead...
That thought never left her mind. She remembered what he looked like down in the sewer using the last of his strength and energy to protect her. He even gave her his last - and only - senzu bean.
She shook her, trying to forget about him. He was gone and never coming back.
That was, unless, Yamcha's story about the Dragonballs were true.
Beside the two smaller photos was a more wider one. For good reason, for it had a large group of people.
She saw some familiar faces like Chichi, Bulma, and Yamcha, but others she didn't recognize.
In the middle was a tall man with a goofy smile on his face. He looked a little like Goten, just as an older version. Could that be... Gohan's father?
On the left of him was a small boy with blonde hair. A woman she knew as Chichi had her right arm wrapped tightly around.
Is that Gohan?
A younger version of Bulma was on the left side of Chichi with a happy but worried smile on her face.
Yamcha was left of her with a grin and a floating cat on top of his left shoulder.
The farthest to the right was an short, old man with a turtle that looked the same age.
Videl looked back at the man she thought was Gohan's father. A short bald man was on the right of him. She recognized him as Krillin. They had met briefly at Gohan's house for lunch.
A squat fat man with a orange and black vertical striped shirt that hung to his knees was on the left of Krillin.
A taller, three-eyed man with a midget-sized white faced child was next.
Left of them was a cheerful, blue haired woman with a waving pig at her leg.
Out to the far left of the picture, was a man similar to that of Goku. He had a proud smirk on his face. He didn't seem like a social person.
After a few more minutes of looking around the room, she realized who's room they put her in last night.
Gohan's room.
-a few minutes later-
When she went into the kitchen, Chichi and Goten looked at her and smiled.
Chichi said. "Good morning, Videl. You sleep well?"
Videl nodded. She didn't want anyone to know about the dream. She quietly walked to the table and sat in the last remaining chair. "This... This is Gohan's chair, isn't it?"
Chichi nodded, but wasn't sad like a mourning mother who had just lost her son should be. "Yes, but Bulma and the other are gathering the Dragonballs as we speak. We'll have Gohan back in no time!"
Goten added with just as much enthusiasm, "Then I can have someone to train with again!"
"I can train with you, Goten." Videl suggested nonchalantly.
-30 minutes later-
After half an hour of begging, Chichi finally agreed. "But no Super Saiyan transformation, Goten!" She called to him.
Videl stopped cold. Super Saiyan. I've heard that word alot these days. But what does that have to with Gohan and his family? Was my dream actually real?
"Heads up, Videl!" Goten called as a small energy blast was shot at her. It wasn't as big as a mouse, but it caught Videl off guard.
Videl dodged it, barely, then gasped. "That was just like..."
-flashback-
Videl flew up in front of Cell. "You lied to me! You said Gohan wasn't dead! And for that, I'll destroy you!"
"Videl, get out of the way!"
But Yamcha's warning was blocked out by the sound of the Kamehameha Wave.
-end of flashback-
"...I'm lucky I survived that."
"Videl, are you alright?" Goten asked with concern.
"Yeah. I'm alright, Goten." She smiled. "Now, let's get started!"
Videl was the first to attack. She kicked with her left leg swiftly, but Goten easily dogded. He then punched her as a quick counterattack. She was knock into a nearby tree.
What! That kid is half my size and he nearly knocked the wind out of me!
She didn't expect Goten to have that kind of strength.
Goten looked to the ground and scratched the back of his head with his right hand. "Oops, sorry, Videl. I didn't mean to hit you that hard.
-With Bulma and co.-
Yamcha held up the 5-star ball. "Six down, one to go."
Bulma looked at the Dragon Radar and pressed the top button several times. "The last one is South of here. It's close."
"Uh... Hey, Bulma? Did you ever talk to Vegeta?"
"No, the last time I saw him was yesterday when he fought Cell..." She gasped with a frightened look on her face. "Oh, no! Do you think... he's dead?"
"Of course not! We wouldn't be able to sense his energy level if he died."
Bulma smiled weakly. "Yeah. You're right. Let's just find the last Dragonball."
And they headed in the direction the Dragon Radar indicated.
-At Chichi's-
Videl sank into the chair. "Ah. I think I did pretty good."
Suddenly, Chichi burst through the door with tears running down her face. "Bulma gathered all the Dragonballs! They're waiting for us to come so they can wish back Gohan!"
-a few minutes later-
"It's about time you got her." Bulma mumbled to the three as they arrived. She then smiled Videl's reaction to the dragon.
Bulma quickly made the wish and, in a flashing burst of light, Shenron disappeared and the Dragonballs scattered.
They didn't turn to stone, though.
Videl breathed heavily. "That dragon was huge!"
"Well, look at the kind of power he has!"
Videl didn't say anything.
Bulma pointed to the side of Capsule Corp. "Well, aren't you going to see if it worked?"
"Huh? O-oh, yeah!"
Videl looked where she pointed.
And saw Gohan.
See? Gohan's not dead anymore! Good thing, too, because Cell and Frieza are still out there on the loose!
