Vegeta waited until they got home until to tell Bulma whom he saw.
"So what did you have to check that was so important this afternoon?" Bulma asked her husband.
"Well, you stupid Onna, I saw that brat, Gohan. I only saw him for a few seconds, but then he flew off to somewhere unknown. That's what I saw woman!" Vegeta said ever so harshly.
"REALLY? WHY DIDN'T YOU FOLLOW HIM? IS HE OKAY? PLEASE TELL ME HE'S OKAY!" Bulma screamed. She was really worried.
"You stupid onna! I said I only saw him for a few seconds! I didn't talk to him. But he looked different. He was all dirty and filthy. And his eyes, they were stone cold." Vegeta said.
"Oh Why did I let him go! I just didn't know if I could feed another Saiyan. Oh why Vegeta, why didn't you stop me?" Bulma cried. Vegeta walked across the room and actually held his wife.
"I don't know onna. I don't know." was all he said. "I'm so sorry Gohan. I know how it is to lose a parent. My mother died when I was 6. She died in a car accident. I don't really remember her. Oh well, I can't say it didn't hurt though." Videl told Gohan.
Gohan smiled. This girl was actually showing him how to have fun again. She was smart and quite attractive. Wait, what was he thinking? He had only known her for MAYBE an hour, and already saying he liked her. But she would reject him. Just like everyone else did.
"Hey Gohan, you have no place to stay right? I can ask my dad if you can stay with us, at least for a week or two!" Videl thought happily.
"I don't know. Isn't your father somewhat protective over you A LOT? Gohan asked his newfound friend.
"Yeah. But once I use my puppy dogs eyes and little bit of my magic! We'll be in business!" Videl smiled once again. Gohan did the same.
"Well okay, if think it will work!" He laughed. They both got up.
"Well, wait here for a few minutes, and I'll go talk to my dad!" Videl said, running towards her house.
She got here within seconds. She found her dad watching one of his glamorous videos of himself again.
"Hey sweet pea, what are you up too?" He smiled. Videl smiled.
"Well, I just met a new friend. His names Gohan, but he's homeless, and we're the same age and have the same birthday and he has no where to stay so you think he could live with us?" Videl said all in one breathe.
"Wait. HE? What have I told you about boys in the house?" Hercule lectured his daughter.
"That ALL boys are banned from the house and are not allowed fifty feet within the premises!" Videl recited for the 50th time. She rolled her eyes.
"Well, what's my answer then?" Hercule asked his blue-eyed daughter.
"But daddy, he's been through a lot, and needs someone just like you and I do!" Videl pouted.
"What happen to his family?" Hercule asked.
"His parents are dead, and he has no other family." Videl said, looking down to the ground.
"Well, let's at least have him for dinner, and then I'll make my judgment about him then!" Hercule finally answered.
"Yay! I'll go get him! Just watch Daddy! You'll like him!" Videl cheered. Hercule sweat dropped.
Geez, That girls going to kill me someday. Vegeta flew around the city for hours. Bulma had sent him to look for Gohan, but no go. He looked everywhere. No Gohan showed up. Vegeta didn't want to go, but the blasted woman had threatened him with no food for a week, plus he would have to sleep on the couch. He just grunted and flew off.
"Gohan! My daddy said that you can stay for dinner, and then he'll make his decision after that. So if I were you, I'd be REALLY careful about what I say and do. Just be polite, and don't say ANYTHING about me or stuff like that like that. Then he'll think you're some hormone driven teenage boy that's just after his daughter. You got everything?" Videl told Gohan. He nodded.
"Good, then we can go inside because it's dinner time already.
"Thanks Videl." Gohan gave her a slight smile. They went inside to meet Hercule.
"Did you find him Vegeta?" Bulma asked worriedly.
"No, you stupid onna. I searched everywhere. I couldn't even sense him. Now about my dinner!" the prince growled.
"FINE! I'll fix your precious food, but you WILL continue to look if it takes you all night!" Bulma yelled.
"Hi there kiddo, names Hercule. I'm pretty sure you know me. You will stay for dinner until I come up with my decision!" Hercule introduced him. "Hey there sweet pea, can you give me and Gohan a few minutes to talk 'Man to Man'?"
"Sure daddy, just don't threaten to kill him, or I WILL kill you!" Videl demanded. Hercule shook with fear. Videl walked out of the living room. Gohan turned the so-called World Champion.
"Well, you see bud. I'm VERY protective of my daughter. You WILL stay away from. And if you end up staying here, you will be next to my room, across the house from my daughter, you understand?" Hercule told Gohan. Gohan nodded.
"Alright Mr. Satan. But I have something of my own to tell you. I know for a fact you DIDN'T beat Cell. I did. I was the supposed 'Delivery Boy'. So if you Ever threaten to kill me or hurt me unless I'm doing something that is putting you or your daughter's life in jeopardy, I will be forced to tell everyone OUR little secret. Is that clear?" Gohan told the almighty Hercule. Hercule's eye widened.
"You're not that boy! He had blonde hair! And yours is jet black! An he could fly!" Hercule defended himself. That's when Gohan transformed into a Super Saiyan. Hercule's eye's widened even more. And then Gohan started to levitate. Hercule's jaw dropped.
"Believe me now?" Gohan asked Hercule. Hercule nodded. Gohan powered down. Tears came down his face.
"Are you alright son?" Hercule asked the young boy. Gohan fell to his knees. Hercule knelt down beside him. "Tell me how you can do all that. Tell me how you were forced to live like this." Hercule said. Gohan sat Indian style.
"Well, it all started when I was born. I was born with a tail. My dad also had a tail, but he had had it removed right before I was born. It turned out that my dad was an alien; he was what we call a Saiyan. Saiyans are born with the will to fight. I'm half Saiyan, Half Human. Saiyans have inhuman strength that can help us lift cars and buses, and we have the ability to go Super Saiyan. That's when I get m blonde hair. My power almost doubles when I transform. Any way, my dad was Son Goku, the guy who won the World Tournament before you did. He was the other guy with the blonde hair that fought Cell first. He died because of my stupidity and my mother chose to go to the other world with him, and that's how I became homeless. I tried living with my Dad's friends, but they all said after about a week or so, they said I couldn't stay with them because they had their own families to feed. So I had nowhere else to turn to. I ended up on the streets doing things I'm not proud of to survive. Now, I'm here, hoping to finally find a home."Gohan trailed off. Had he just told his most hated person most of his secrets? Did it matter? He had no answers.
"My god son, you WILL stay here. I can't even begin to realize all the suffering you went through. Your parents abandon you. The closest family you had ever had denies you. I insist you stay here. Just stay away from my daughter. And everything will be all right. You hear son?" Hercule told the crying teen. Gohan rubbed his eyes and nodded.
"Just don't tell Videl anything I told you, I'd rather her not find out quite yet." Gohan whispered. Hercule smiled.
"Of course. You secrets are safe with me, as long as you don't run your mouth about the little Cell incident, we'll be fine!" Hercule smiled. Just then Videl came into the room.
"AND YOU WILL STAY AWAY FRM MY DAUGTER AND THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEMS! YOU HEAR ME YOU STUPID BOY!" Hercule said, trying to pretend to be mad. Gohan smiled. Videl rolled her eyes.
"Well Sweet pea. Looks like Gohan's going to be living with us for a while. So you better get used to him being round, because I have a feeling he's going to be around for a long time to come!" Hercule announced. Videl jumped up and down with glee.
"Oh thank you Daddy, You're the greatest! I'll show him to his room! After supper that is! Are you hungry Gohan? I bet you're starving! Come on let's go!" She cheered, dragging Gohan of to the kitchen. Maybe things were finally turning around for him.
