Hey! Sorry for the long update! I have perfectly good explanations! Ummm…let's see……I'm sick, and school, and, Ummm, I'm a lazy bum?

Well, I know you all were waiting for this, so I shouldn't let you wait any longer!

Answers to reviews:

Tokyogirl12: yeah, I know that I rushed the relationship, but I sometimes bend under pressure a little bit. The make-out-obsessed people wouldn't stop annoying me. That is as far as their relationship will go, however.

Lonemutant: Thanks for the two reviews. As for the meaning of "lemon", it means…… ummmm… why am I having trouble just saying it? It means a sex-scene, okay? "Limes" are make-out scenes, for future reference. Now do you understand why I no likey the lemons?

Kickbutt91: yeah, I know I should have, but oh, well. I was planning on a make-out scene at one point or another. Besides, I can make this work out, as if it never happened, and the story line will not be affected at all because of it. Their relationship is not moving TOO fast, at least.

Rinoakes: yes, you are a make-out obsessed person. That make-out scene was to keep you quiet. LOL.

Youkaigirl64: Thank you for the review!

Zfighter1989: Thank you for the review!

Sheik's twin: Thank you for the review, and the attempt of giving advice….even though you didn't have any! LOL

Dork Lotus: Thank you for the review! I think I'll go with the second choice….the first one was a little "out there", k? Anyway, the first part of the second idea will be in this chapter. The second part will come up later.

Note: there has been some, and will be a little more strong language. If you are uncomfortable reading it, then I am sorry. I only use strong language, however, when it truly fits the scenario.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REVIEWS! THEY ARE WHAT KEEP ME GOING EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM THAT I DO NOT UPDATE!

Reflection, Chapter 17: ((Wow, I'm at chapter 17!)): Sleeping Beauty

It was now Monday morning, and neither of the teens wanted to wake up. They were to be in the dining room by 5:00, and they were to eat until 5:30. They were then to practice until the bus came, at 7:00. Videl and Gohan spent to practice on Videl's form of fighting. Gohan showed her the best fighting stances and the sort.

They were allowed to ride in Gohan's jet, and they were once again, the focus of the student body, as well as the reporters of the world. They managed to escape from their evil clutches and get to class in time, however, and the rest of the school day passed on as planned.

Of course, as every school day has its ups and downs, that day was no exception. First of all, Gohan had to deal with the snide remarks of Sharpener, who was convinced that Gohan was a weakling who just managed to be lucky when punching the machine.

In math that day, Videl had a major test that she was not prepared for, because her LOVING, CARING dad had not let her stay after school and enlist the help of the teachers and the tutors who stay after school for just that purpose. She hoped that she would at least pass the test, or else who would have to go through ANOTHER lecture about the importance of going to school.

Physics that day was the only thing that both Gohan and Videl enjoyed. They did a very simple lab that day where they had to push things with the force of a "penny-weight". Gohan tried to push the objects with that little force, but ended up having to tap it barely in order to get it that small. Across the room, the preppy girls were at the four "penny-weight" force, and they had to run to keep up with the balls. One of them accidentally ran into Gohan while chasing the ball, and she went down. Gohan seemed as if it didn't affect him, and he helped the poor girl up.

Videl watched from the sidelines with disgust as the little preppy cheerleader started flirting with Gohan. Gohan noticed that, and headed over to Videl, and continued the lab with her, convincing her that there was nothing between him and the cheerleader. Videl, had she been any other girl, would have blushed at his words.

After school, the two were on patrol. Hercule, being the idiot that he was, told them that they were not allowed back into the house until they had helped bring crooks to justice. Apparently, in Hercule's mind, the city was just teeming with crooks, and the crooks were APPARENTLY easy to capture. How narrow-minded Hercule is! Still, it gave Gohan and Videl an excuse to goof off. They would eventually run into something of importance.

School had ended at 3:00, and it was now 4:30. There were no signs of any robberies, gang fights, or even illegal substance abuse! Videl and Gohan had gone to the arcade, but someone there worked for Hercule, and was sent there to keep the two of them out. He had told them, "The Almighty Hercule has sent me, and many other of his workers to keep you two away from all entertainment facilities until you manage to complete the task which he has given you. Please hurry along and complete it."

Videl almost beat the poor man up, but refrained when she thought about her father's reaction to a beat up employee. Instead, the two went back out to the jet copter, and flew around the city.

And that's where they were now. Videl and Gohan had taken turns looking at the crowds, and they were very tired of seeing the same landmarks over and over again. Nothing was suspicious, and besides, Videl had a beeper that connected her with the police chief. If something was happening, she would know through him.

Gohan was currently looking through the window, when he saw something a little out of the ordinary. A man was running away from a group of cops, and he was carrying a rather large sack. Gohan considered that suspicious, and he told Videl to fly the jet down to the scene.

Upon reaching the ground, Gohan could more easily make out the man. He was wearing a ski-mask, and there were ten policemen after him now. The jet landed in front of his path, and Videl jumped out first, having given the controls to Gohan, and she ran over to the man and proceeded to chase him. Gohan jumped out a few seconds later, and ran after the man, but he ran much faster than Videl, and managed to catch up with the man, punching the man down, and stood in the man's path.

"What is in the bag?" asked Videl, catching her breath.

The man said nothing, but instead put his hand into the large bag and threw something out of it. Videl realized too late that there was sleeping powder in it. She immediately zonked out.

Gohan, however, was not affected, and punched the man again, out of anger for what he had doen to Videl. The man reached into the bag again, and threw more stuff at Gohan, but again, he was not affected. The man gave up, and let the upcoming policemen to put him in handcuffs. Gohan took the bag into his hands, and looked inside.

Inside was a bunch of bluish-green powder, and there was something inside of the bag as well. He reached into the bag, and pulled out an orb. He glanced at the orb, then gave the powder to the police so they could have it tested for the contents. He told the police that he knew someone who would know what the orb was for. The policemen let him take it and Videl back with him to the Satan Mansion.

Hercule almost beat Gohan down when he saw the boy carrying Videl into the house. Hercule took Videl into her room, not trusting Gohan for a second with anything. That was fine with Gohan, however, and he left the house, and flew as Saiyaman into the distance.

He did not stop until he got to Baba's house. He immdetly senced out the old lady, and asked her for some help in the orb, which looked surprisingly similar to her chrystal ball.

"Baba, can you tell me what this is?" he asked,

"Oh, hi, Gohan. Don't youngsters these days have respect for their elders? Oh, well. Let me see that artifact." After looking at the ball for a few seconds, her eyes got very large, "Where did you find this?" she asked.

"I found it on a criminal who was running away from the police. It was in a bag of a sleeping powder, but the powder didn't work on me. It did, however, work on Videl…"

"SOMEONE WAS HIT WITH THE POWDER?" she asked, well, screamed, "The powder was no ordinary powder. It only affects humans who are going through a lot in their lives. It is a sort of drug that puts them to sleep, and they don't wake up unless they either have a loved one, whom they love with everything that they are, wake them up with a kiss, similar to Sleeping Beauty, which is the nickname of the spell. Mostly, the people who are going through that much don't have anyone who are like that, and they stay asleep, never aging, forever!"

"WHAT?" Gohan exclaimed. "Well, um, before I go, what is the orb for?"

"It makes the powder, and it also has to be present when the loved one wakes up the sleeping person. It then absorbs all of the powder. Please, Gohan, try to wake the girl up, and if it does work, then destroy the orb before anyone else is affected. You did keep the powder, didn't you?"

"Ummm."

"You didn't! Now countless people may be affected by now, and that means that you have to cure all of the people before you destroy the orb, or you have to pass it on to the person who has the powder. It is the only way to make sure that the powder is not spread between people."

"Ok. Thank-you, Baba."

"Anytime, just next time, don't come just because you need my help. Visit just for fun, why don't you?"

"Ok, bye!" and with that, he flew back to Satan City, carrying the orb along with him.

Back at the mansion, Videl was not faring too well. Hercule had tried to wake her up, but he had no luck with the girl. He was about to call the hospital, but he didn't want to alarm the public about his daughter's condition. So, he waited for a while, at least until the weakling, Gohan, came back from wherever he had run away to. Hercule snorted, 'Coward'.

Gohan came running into the room, and Hercule tried to look like he cared about the boy, but really, he was regretting the contest. Videl had not been training as much as she had been, and now this.

Gohan saw the "Sleeping Beauty", not even noticing the glares from the world champion. He approached the sleeping girl, then turned around to confront her father.

"Hercule, I know of a way to wake her up, and it is the only way, but…"

"How do YOU know how to wake her up?" came the interruption of Hercule.

"Well, I know someone who told me, but that has nothing to do with it. The way to wake her up is to kiss her."

"THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO KISS MY DAUGHTER YOU SICK BASTARD!"

Gohan didn't really listen to the rants of Hercule, but rather continued softly, "If you do now wish ME to kiss her, then go ahead and kiss her yourself. If she truly loves you, then she will wake up. If not, then let me try."

This caught Hercule's attention, and seconds later, he kissed his daughter, as a father would his daughter. But, when Videl didn't wake up, Hercule was pissed, no, beyond pissed.

Gohan tried to walk up to Videl to kiss her, but Hercule fought back on him, and it soon became a major fight. Hercule's eyes were almost red with rage, and Gohan's eyes were flickering with aqua, though he had no idea why that would be.

Gohan, of course, withstood all of the attacks by Hercule, and the one attack that he did on Hercule was enough to shut the man up. Hercule looked at Gohan with awe, not knowing what to think, except that the boy was indeed stronger than he. As to not anger him anymore, he promised that Gohan and Videl were allowed to be together, if she so wished.

Gohan then walked over to his beloved, and kissed her passionately on the lips, waking her up immediately, and she started kissing him back. Hercule gasped as he saw that the boy could wake Videl up when he, her father, could not!

Videl didn't eve notice that her father was on the other side of the room, staring at her. Al she knew was that Gohan was kissing her, and they were "alone". She did notice her father, however, when she and Gohan parted, and Hercule huffed at the two.

'Oh, shit!' se thought, 'I'm in SO much trouble!'
