Hello,
Yes I have not updated in some time but I have now and will continue but first I'm doing a chapter in Exposed and Time Out first.

"Talk"

"Thought"

(1-5) Author's Notes

"What I did was inexcusable and I wish apologize with this." Videl's hands leap out, one grabbing Becky by neck of the shirt and the other grasping the back of her head giving it a slight twist as Becky's lips meet Videl's in a deep and passionate kiss.

As Videl walked down the street people stopped to see the happy yet guiltily smile that the family cat would wear after eating the family fish that Videl was wearing. Gohan on the other hand wore his 'Why do I bother' expression mixed which was a mixture of embarrassment and shock and horror look. "Do, You feel better now?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, very much, thank you."

"What possessed you to do that?"

"What didn't you like it?"

"Not really."

"You're jealous?"

"Mmmm… I don't think so." Gohan paused, "Videl, are you gay?"

"Gohan, women aren't gay their lesbians." (1)

"So, are you a lesbian?"

"If anything I would be bi. Remember the shower we had?"

"Bi?"

"Bisexual, Gohan, and I'm not bi either. Being friends with Erasa makes one more relaxed about such things."

"Ok…huh?"

Videl sighed as she spotted a bight reflection in the gutter, which she picked to find that it was a one zenni coin, "Look, Gohan, a shiny!" she said as reflected Sun light into Gohan's face. (2)

Gohan's hand snapped out grabbed the coin and pocketed it before Videl realized what had happen, "I'm not Sharpener, and I'm not distracted by shiny objects."

"Oh, come on, Gohan, I was just getting even for the joke you played on me yesterday," Videl stated in her defense as she leaned on Gohan tilled her to one side and looked at him with her best look of innocence.

"What was the joke, Gohan?" A voice asked.

"Excuse me Who told you could butt in?" Videl demanded as she whirled around projected her instant death expression, which faded away as she got a good look at the interrupter. A scar across the right eye and cross shaped scar on his left cheek. Yamcha from the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai.

"Hmmm, strange, he doesn't seam all that strong especially in that suit. It cann't be him. How would a country boy like Gohan know someone so famous?" Videl thought as she eyed him over as best she could do the banana yellow of the dress pants and sport coat were an awful distraction.

"Nyha, a future Chichi!" (3) Yamcha thought as he immediately stepped back when he received the girl's stare straight in the face. "Has to be Gohan's girlfriend who else would be that pushy?" He thought, "Gee, Gohan who's the girlfriend?"

"She's not my girlfriend!" Gohan barked

"Excuse me?" Videl said with an icy tone.

Both Gohan and Yamcha shivered as the air temperature around suddenly dropped.

"Sorry, Videl, it's a habit I picked from constantly being asked that." Gohan apologized as he scratched his head and produce the family grin the could melt the biggest blocks if ice.

"So, you're the legendary Videl that I have heard all about, huh?"

Videl blushed at Yamcha's statement, "I'm not worthy of being called legendary, and I'm not that great." Videl then looked "You're Yamcha from the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai?"

Yamcha's cheeks developed a pink smidge of there own "I was at the 21st and 22nd too, the 23rd wasn't my one my better performances, I'm a little less embarrassed, now that I know who plowed me under. I'm more famous for playing professional baseball."

"Wow! How do You know Gohan?"

"Oh, I know his dad, from when we first locked horns in my desert. I first met Gohan when he was about four, since then it's been a pretty wild ride."

"I'm sorry, Yamcha, but we need to get going if we are going to make back to class."

"Well, you better going then."

"Right, tell Pu'ar I said, hello."

"Will do. Nice to meet you, Videl." Yamcha said as he walked away flipping the lid closed on his cell phone and stuffing it in his coat pocket.

"Mmmmm…"

"Something the matter, Videl?" Gohan asked as he wrapped his arm around Videl's waist

"I was thinking about Yamcha." Videl passed, "The way he was holding that phone, as if he was text messaging but he was always pointing at me."

"Did it look like this?" Gohan asked as he reached into his pocket pulled out a cell phone of this own.

"Yah, what's with this raised disc on the lid and why does say VGA 4X Zoom? Say, is this a camera?"

"I knew that I loved you for more than your beauty." Gohan said with a smirk.

"You mean that this is a camera?"

"Yup, it's a camera phone you can take pictures and email them to different camera phones and to email accounts. One of the latest and greatest wonders coming out of Capsule Corporation."

"Wow! How did you get one before Me? My Dad usually has the first of very thing."

"That is a long story." Gohan stated. "I promise to tell you later."

"Just as long as you do." Videl replied with an undertone of doom for failure.

For Yamcha, Photographers and Sports Reports where a common event especially during contract season and like the saying goes; familiarity breeds contempt so he never missed the fact the he had lost any of his observers.

For Videl Reports and Photographers all fell under one word, a hated and reviled word; paparazzi. All of Satan followers had learned that Videl had a special dislike for them and their medical bills per month where far less if they just stuck to Hercule who enjoyed the attention that much more.

"Hey, Joe is that Hercule's daughter, um… Videl?"

"Yah, I think your right Steve. But who's that with her?"

"Don't know but they sure are friendly."

"So, snap some shots off we could sell them to Gladys Witheredbottom."

As Steve focused on his unsuspecting targets, "Do we have to? She screwed us out our money last time and her office smells like old leather and cats."

"I know it does, at least you don't have to fend off her advances, besides I have a fool-proof plan."

"Swell." Steve said without a once of optimism

"What was that?"

"Were done."

"Good, let's go."

"Are you sure we won't get along? Chichi ask rather dejectedly. (4)

"Positive, you're too much alike."

"Oh I got a message form Yamcha." Bulma called as she changed the wash over to the dryer. "Look, He took some pictures of Gohan's girlfriend." Bulma said as passed the phone to Chichi.

"Oh, I cann't tell anything from these pictures, not with that flour sack she is wearing. Are you sure this is the right girl she is suppose to ungodly rich?"

"Bulma, hand me my pants." Eighteen directed as she took the phone from Chichi, "One and the same." She stated as she passed the phone to Bulma and took the denim in exchange and dug into one the pockets and pulled out and handful of pictures. "Maybe these will help your opinion of the girl." Eighteen said as she passed the pictures of Videl to Chichi.

"Oh! This must their first kiss and here is the second." A giddy Chichi sang out, "Oh My did those two really let hormones get away from them. Look, she does have child bearing hips."

"Who does?"

"Oh, Launch, We were looking at the pictures Yamcha sent us of Videl and Eighteen just showed him up with better ones." Bulma quickly brought the blue haired women up to speed.

"What's this one?"

"What's what, Chichi?" Bulma asked.

"This one." Chichi held up the picture for all to see.

Eighteen glanced at the picture, "Oh that was Marron's first Ki blast."

"Isn't that cute." Launch cooed.

"That apple didn't fall far from the tree." Chichi sighed as She flipped to the next picture. "Oh my!"

Eighteen smirked, "No, She most definitely didn't." As the group stared at the picture. It was the picture only zoomed out to revealing the target, a very charred Roshi with Krillin staring bugged eye with shock in the background. (5)

"Great shot, Eighteen, I want a copy." Bulma cheered as she high five the machine-woman. "Marron, is definitely getting an extra special gift from me."

"No Problem, I will email you a copy."

"Oh dear, I hope he is ok."

Three pairs of eyes turned to the Blue haired woman, with their own thoughts of whether the woman was brain damage or if she had one at all.

"Sorry, Gentleman, I refuse to believe that is Videl Satan." An antique woman stated with a nasally voice. Mrs. Gladys Witheredbottom placed the photos into a manila folder, she was sitting as stiffly as she ran her newspaper.

"But those pictures are real."

"You cann't prove that girl is Videl and besides it don't matter everybody in this town knows Videl has never shown any interest in boys. Just looks what she wears it shameful, not to mention Hercule's rules for dating his are well known."

"So, He must been her secret lover."

"So, what they might be worth something if had you have a name to go with that face. All thou it is very photogenic face, He must draw a lot attention from the female population of whatever school he attends."

"We're thinking five hundred per picture."

"Surely, you, jest."

"Fifty for the lot."

"Five hundred for the lot?"

"Two."

"Four fifty."

"Two fifty and not a penny more." Mrs. Witherbottom stated as she filled out the voucher slip.

"Deal!" Joe stated as he reach out for slip, "Thank you for seeing us on such short notice."

"No, Thank you." She with her best pseudo failure expression as the freelance photographers left. Once the closed She opened the folder and looked at the photos again and smiled as pressed the button on the intercom. "Sharon, have Louis Shack come here."

"Yes Ma'am, He is right outside." responded the detached female voice.

"Send him in and confirm my evening dinner meeting with Andre."

"Yes Ma'am."

The door opened and Louis Shack entered, "Miss Fox, Called me."

"Take a look these." Mrs. Witherbottom said as she handed over the folder.

Shack opened the folder and started to examine the pictures within, "Our city's heroine Miss Satan?"

"Yes and those damned idiots sold me the negatives as well. They could sold copies to my competition as well and one of those fools would have revealed those two idiots the true value those pictures."

"You have a plan?"

"Yes, headline: 'Heroine's Secret Lover!' run the third picture on the front page. And the issue price in creased by Two Zenni."

Author's Notes:

(1) The majority of homosexual groups call themselves "Gay and Lesbian" so in my simple mind says that their separating the two genders of homosexuality. Not that I really care one way or the other, I'm fine with that. What shall be, will be.

(2) Think of the American golden dollar coin that no one likes.

(3) It's curly from the Three Stooges. "Oh, A wise guy a?"

(4) Is that even a word?

(5) I should switch to spelling of Krillin's name in the manga. That is Kuririn, but I don't think I will, I like it the other way better.
