Videl looked at herself in the mirror. It wasn't that great…but it'd do. She had only lost two pounds in the whole week. She looked at herself in her black capris and white halter top with gray designs. Any normal person would think she looked great, but not Videl.

Her hair fell perfectly into her face, and her nails came out beautifully. Videl didn't usually do her nails, but it was a date, wasn't it? The violet eye shadow looked beautiful with her black eyeliner, softened up by her pale pink lip-gloss. She was dressed to kill…if only she could see it that way. She looked at the clock, noticing it was 7:58, and quickly slipped on her comfortable black pumps. Just as she was fastening the last one, the doorbell rang.

"Videl! Gohan is here to see you!" Carrie called.

The fact that Carrie answered the door really irked Videl. What was she thinking? Oh well…Videl couldn't think about that right now. Gohan was waiting to take her out on a date!

Videl walked down the stairs, eyeing Gohan, in his long black slacks and red collared shirt. He looked so cute. So loveable. Was he holding roses? She got closer to the end of the stairs. Yes! He was holding a dozen red roses. And they looked so beautiful.

"Hey Videl," Gohan said when she finally got to the floor. He leaned in to kiss her on the cheek.

"Hi Gohan," Videl said with a giddy smile.

"These are for you," he said, holding the flowers out nervously. Videl could tell he wasn't used to the whole dating scene.

"Oh Gohan! Thank you so much," she squealed as she hugged him. He held her in the embrace as long as he could. He never really saw her quite like this. She was so giddy…so girly…so…exactly how he liked to see her. She pulled away and looked into his eyes. "They're so beautiful! Let me put them in some water!"

"Alright," Gohan said as he followed her into the kitchen. He watched as she opened a cabinet under the sink and pulled out a glass vase. He couldn't help but to stare when she bent over to get it. He absolutely adored everything about Videl. And he was so glad that he was finally starting to admit it.

"Alright…I think we're all set," she said. "Are you ready?"

"Yes," Gohan said. "Let's go,"

They walked out to the driveway, where Gohan had parked his car. He rushed to the passenger side and opened the door for her.

"Thank you," Videl smiled as she got in. He quickly ran to the other side and got behind the wheel. He started the car.

"So are you still okay with hanging out at the park?" he asked.

"Absolutely," Videl squealed again.

"Great. I brought a blanket and some food. There's supposed to be a meteor shower. I thought it would be fun to watch. Do you have to be in at a certain time?" He asked.

"No!" Videl lied. "My father could care less," she said with a laugh.

Gohan pulled into the park and went into the trunk of his car to pull out a blanket,

"Are you hungry," Gohan asked.

"Actually…I had a huge lunch," Videl said laughing.

"Haha…leave it to you," Gohan said. "I'll leave the food for later."

"Okay," she said. He closed the trunk and they walked, trying to find a place to settle.

Suddenly Gohan spotted some nice grass under a tree, secluded from people.

"How about over there," he asked.

"I'm fine with that," Videl said.

He spread out the blanket and Videl quickly ran to the other side to help him get it perfectly spread out. They both sat down and got settled.

"So how have you been feeling, Videl," Gohan asked.

"I've been a lot better!" Videl lied again. "I think it was just the heat, honestly.""Well that's good to hear," Gohan said with a laugh. "You had me really worried there."

"I'm sorry. I've just been kind of stressed out," Videl said.

"About your father," Gohan suggested.

"Well yes…" Videl said. "He just gets to me a lot."

"Well," Gohan thought, "He isn't here. So you shouldn't be stressed." Videl giggled. "When you're on a date with me, there's no stress allowed," he said.

"Alright…then do you mind if I kick my shoes off? I think I'm getting blisters," Videl said with a laugh.

"I don't mind," Gohan said laughing along.

Videl was having so much fun just lying around with Gohan. He had to be the only person who didn't make her crazy after an hour of just sitting around doing nothing. For a few hours they talked about the good old high school years. Then they talked about their training. After that they decided to take a walk around the park.

"So how long until this meteor shower," Videl asked.

"It's supposed to start around midnight," Gohan replied.

"I never took you for much of a star watcher," Videl said with a smirk.

"I could say the same about you," Gohan said.

"Well I'm not…but I'm having a good time so far," Videl said as she reached for his hand. She started to flush when he took it and held it in his. They started to walk slower and closer.

Videl never wanted to leave this moment, until Gohan pulled away. He began to wave at someone sitting on a bench. As they got closer, they noticed it was Jared.

"Hey Jared," Gohan called. "How are you doing?"

"I'm great. Have you met my girlfriend Lynn," he asked, gesturing to her.

"Yes. I think we had English together," Gohan said.

"Oh! I knew I remembered you," she said laughing.

"Hi Videl," Jared said with a huge smile.

"Hi," Videl said simply.

"So what brings you guys here," Gohan asked.

"Just hanging out on a nice night at the park," Jared said.

"That's Cool! You guys take it easy okay?"

"Okay! Bye Gohan," Jared said.

Gohan clasped Videl's hand more closely as they walked away. She leaned her head on his shoulder.

"So don't you know Jared," Gohan asked. "You weren't very friendly."

"I know of him," Videl said.

"That's crazy, I thought everyone knew Jared," Gohan said.

"Well, you did only start at Orange Star during your junior year," Videl pointed out.

"True. But I'm glad I did," he said.

"Me too," Videl almost whispered. They started to go back to their blanket and Videl sat down.

"You know Gohan…" Videl started. "I just wanted to apologize for putting you through all of that torture in high school."

"What are you talking about?" Gohan asked.

"You know…how I blackmailed you to teach me to fly, because I knew you were the great saiyaman."

"Oh…god. Well I'll admit…you sure traumatized me then. But I'm glad I got to meet you out of it," Gohan said.

"You were such a dork," Videl laughed.

"And you had long hair," Gohan said.

"I guess we both changed a lot," Videl said.

"Hey…do you know what time it is," Gohan asked.

"It's 11:30," Videl said, as she looked at her watch.

"But that's a meteor up there," Gohan pointed up.

"I guess they were wrong," she said as she lay back on the blanket.

"Oh my gosh! Look at that," Gohan beamed as Videl sat up and saw what looked like fifty shooting stars.

"Oh wow!" Videl exclaimed. "I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before."

"Videl?" Gohan asked as he stared at her.

"Yea Gohan?"

"Can I kiss you," he asked nervously.

"Of course." Videl beamed. "You didn't have to ask," she said with a smile.

"Well you know…it is the first date. And some people don't like to kiss on the first date. And I wasn't sure if you felt that way about me to kiss me and…"

"Just shut up and kiss me Son," Videl said with a huge smile.

Gohan leaned in slowly until his lips met with hers. Videl put her hand on his cheek and pulled him closer to her. She started to feel her body getting chills. She moved in closer and felt his lips move around, feeling hers. She placed her tongue on his bottom lip and moved it slowly. She felt his hand on her hip and started to get even more chills. She felt him pull away and their lips made that click sound she always longed to hear.

Videl looked him in the eye, while he still had his hand on her hip. She loved the feeling. He took her in his arms and lay back on the blanket.

"Videl," Gohan asked.

"Yea," Videl said with a smile.

"Can we go steady?" He asked her.

"You mean…boyfriend and girlfriend," she asked.

"Yes," Gohan said.

"Of course. I thought that was a given," Videl said laughing as she went in for another kiss. She broke it and rested her head on his chest. "Can we sleep here?" she asked.

"No…I don't think that's such a good idea. Plus, it's kind of illegal," he said laughing.

"True," she said. "I just don't want to go home. I want to be with you forever," she said sincerely.

"Me too," Gohan said. He swept her hair out of her face with his finger and saw her beautiful smile. "I feel like I've been with you for years."

"I feel like I should have Gohan. It just feels so right," she said.

Gohan smiled and kissed her on the forehead. She loved it when he did that. And now she knew that it wasn't just a friend kiss. It was a sincere kiss out of love.

Videl smiled under the stars in Gohan's arms. She had never been so happy.
