Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z.

Thank you for the reviews, sorry the first chapter was so short.

"Gohan, I thought we were going to spar!" Videl yelled at him. "What do you mean? We did spar," Gohan tried to understand what he did wrong. They decided to walk the rest of the way to C.C.

Videl stopped in front of him.

"Gohan, I know you were holding back on me, and let me win. You don't take me serious enough to really fight you?" Videl asked him.

"No, it's not that Videl, I...I just don't want to hurt you," Gohan tried to explain to her.

"You don't think I can take you?" Videl ask him even more angry.

"Let's be serious, Videl. You could really get hurt, and I"-"You don't think I'm being serious! "Videl cut him off.

"Gohan, I know you're a lot stronger, but how am I gonna get stronger if I'm not challenged," Videl tried to get him to understand. "Videl, I'm sorry...can we just not fight?" Gohan still saw Videl had a frown on her face.

"Videl, I promise I won't hold back, ok?" Videl just knodded

She knew he was lying.

They had the same argument every time they sparred. She couldn't stand it. Her dream was always to be the World's Marshall Arts champion like her father, but she wasn't getting anywhere. She was stronger than anyone else she knew, but the half sayians and even Goku didn't take her seriously when it came to fighting. Chichi gave up fighting just to end up being a house wife.

She stayed home when Goku went to battle. She couldn't be side by side with her husband.

Videl didn't want that. She wanted to fight too. She really doubted her relationship with Gohan.

Maybe they weren't meant to be.

They arrived at C.C. and Gohan opened the door. "SURPRISE! Happy 18th birthday Videl!", Videl was a bit shocked by Gohan throwing a surprise party for her. Still she was in know mood to be surrounded by these people she first met at the tournament. Goku, Chichi, Gohan, Krillen, 18, Marron, Piccolo, Yamcha, Master Roshi, Bulma, Trunks, and Vegeta were all there.

Gohan kissed Videl on the cheek, and went to talk to Piccolo. He didn't notice the face she made when he turned around. Vegeta noticed. He noticed a lot of things about Videl.

Her beautiful long figure and he noticed a little muscle. 'Oh, now I remember. She's that girl from the tournament.' Vegeta noticed her hair was longer now. She was wearing dark blue jeans and a green T- shirt that said "stop looking at my chest you asshole."

The look on her face almost matched the words. She didn't look too happy about this "surprise party." 'What did Kakkarot's brat do?' Vegeta wondered.

Vegeta looked at her face. She had lovely blue eyes. Which made him think of Bulma for a second, but the thought faded when he realized Videl was looking back. Videl's stopped frowning.

'He's that guy who talked bad about my dad, but now that I know why, I kind of can't blame him.'

I didn't notice how gorgeous he is. Videl smiled a little with a light blush covering her cheeks. 'What am I thinking? He's a married man,' Videl's thoughts were interrupted by Chichi calling her over where Bulma and 18 was.

From what she heard about 18 she respected her a little more than Chichi. She went over to them and gave Vegeta one last glance.

Meanwhile…

"So…what do you think she'll say?" Gohan asked Krillen. "You think she'll say, yes?" "Of course she will. Why wouldn't she?" Krillen tried to support Gohan.

"Gohan, don't you think this is a little bit early?" Goku asked his son. "Oh, come on dad. You married mom when you where like 15 or 16."

"Yeah Goku. He's gotcha there," Krillen added.

"I know, but back then I was 12 and I didn't know what married was. Anyway, I think she really loves you. She'll be happy to get married to you," Goku told his son.

Meanwhile…

Videl slowly inched away from Chichi and Bulma's conversation. Videl decided to leave the building just to get some fresh air. 'It's not like they care if I leave or not. They're not celebrating my birthday.' "They're celebrating Gohan's girl friend's birthday," she said out loud.

She never felt she belonged in the Z gang. Almost everyone was stronger than her.

So why would they need her need her.

"Not fitting in with the gang very well?" a raspy voice suddenly disturbed Videl's thoughts. Videl turned to see Vegeta leaning up a against a tree with folded arms. What are you talking about?" Videl asked him.

"You know what I'm talking about. By the way you were looking when you first arrived, you weren't too happy to see anyone," Vegeta said. "You don't know me," Videl said angrily." Maybe I do," Vegeta disagreed. "You tell a lot from a person's actions. You're mad at your "boy friend"," Vegeta kind of spat out the word boy friend.

"Do you always act like an ass to everyone you meet?" Videl asked. "Yes, or may be people just get pissed off to quick," Vegeta said with a smirk. Videl sighed and noticed the sun set.

Vegeta was watching it too. "So… why aren't you in there with them," Videl asked him. "I don't want to be apart of there little "justice team," Vegeta told her. "What? You got something against saving innocent people," Videl asked him. "No, I guess I don't. Not anymore," Vegeta answered her. "Gohan told me a little about you. He said you were the bad guy at once. What change," Videl said. "That boy knows nothing about my past," Vegeta turned to her, "Why the hell do you care?" Vegeta said.

"Well, from how he described you, you were pretty damn evil. I was just wondering what changed you. Why aren't you like you were before?" Videl didn't think Vegeta would care for her to asked questions like that since he was all in her life. "You know, I ask myself the same thing," Vegeta said bitterly.

"You don't mean that," Videl said.

"Why do you say that?"

"What about Bulma?"

"What about her?"

"She's your wife!"

"What made you think we're married?"

"…I just thought…don't you care about her?"

"Yes, guess."

"Do you love her?"

"Love is such I strong word, I guess I can stand her."

"What about Trunks?"

"Do you always ask personal questions when you meet some one?"

"You started it," Videl really wanted to more about him.

Vegeta was mysterious and more complex to her, unlike simple Gohan. Vegeta was older and more experienced than Gohan. Maybe Vegeta was more available since he wasn't married to Bulma. 'What am I thinking. I'm no cheater.'

"Well, I think it's sad about you and Bulma," Videl lied. "No you don't," Vegeta startled Videl. With that Vegeta left with a smirk to train in the Gravity Room.

The party was soon over and everyone went home. "Bye Videl," Gohan waved as he raced his brother home. "Bye Gohan," Videl tried to smile. She feel like she cheated on him because she was infatuated with Vegeta.
