Chapter 10

The next morning Videl woke up pretty early and decided to use the bathroom. She noticed Gohan was still fast asleep and didn't want to wake him up, as she rolled over she realized that something was stopping her from leaving the bed. Something was coiled around her waist and was not letting her move a single inch more. In fact it pulled her closer to Gohan. Videl turned and lifted up the covers only to see that Gohan's tail had been keeping her from moving. 'Oh God! What am I gonna do now? He wont let me move!' The dark haired beauty thought as she tried to think of ways to get out of his hold. It was then that Gohan yawned and wrapped his tight arms around her, pressing her firmly against his chest. This made her blush a very deep red. 'Okay Videl no need to panic. He just likes to cuddle in his sleep. Everything will be fine.' Just then Gohan nuzzled her neck making her blush deepen. 'That's it!' "Chichi!" Videl cried.

Gohan's mother busted through the door as if she'd been outside it the whole time. "Yes dear? What is it?" Chichi said as she looked at Videl's situation and chuckled. "Oh dear yeah I'm sorry about that he's never done this before. Let's see. GOHAN WE'RE OUT OF FOOD!" Chichi's sudden outburst scared poor Videl half to death.

"Gaahhh! Whah-what was that for?" Videl asked still shaking from hearing Chichi's loud voice. 'Remind me not to get her angry,' She thought as a sweat droplet fell from her face.

Gohan's eyes slowly opened. He blinked his eyes a few times and looked down to see that he was holding Videl. He blushed and unwrapped his tail and arms from around her. "Sorry," he apologized.

Videl blushed only nodding in response as she hopped out of bed.

"Well I'm making breakfast so you two freshen up before you come sit at the table," Chichi said as she made her way to the kitchen.

"What do we have planned today Gohan?" Videl asked as she took out a capsule that had her clothes inside.

He sat up out of bed and looked up at the ceiling in thought. "Hmmm well I thought you could use a break from training so we could go somewhere later on if you want," he said scratching the back of his head nervously.

"What so like a date?" she asked hopefully.

Gohan's face dropped and he waved both of his hands in front of him fearing rejection. "Wah!? No no I mean like as friends," he thought laughing nervously hoping that he sounded convincing. He still wasn't sure about opening up to her yet.

The raven haired girl turned her head not wanting to face him. "Oh," she said disappointingly. She and Gohan left his room to get ready. They both split ways and each went into a seperate bathroom. She walked to the bathroom and got herself ready. She showered, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and got dressed. Videl wore a pair of dark blue jeans with a light pink shirt with black sneakers. She brushed her hair and then put it in a low ponytail. She looked herself over in the mirror before exiting the bathroom. She walked down the hallway of the Son house and entered the kitchen, sitting down at the table.

Goten and Gohan were already sitting at the table. Gohan had finished his shower before her and his hair was still wet. He was wearing some dark grey sweatpants and a plain black shirt with matching sneakers. Chichi was still setting the food on the table. She made rice, mixed vegetables, noodles, different curries, fruit, salad, waffles, pancakes, chocolate muffins, hash browns, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, cream of wheat, orange juice, and apple juice. Once the food was spread out on the table Chichi and Videl made their plates first before the boys dug in the food.

"This!- Nam- Food!- Slurp- is!- burp- really good mom! " Goten attempted to say through a mouthful of food.

"Goten don't talk with your mouth full," Chichi said as she ate with manors. She frowned looking at both of her sons as she was reminded that they had the same eating habits as their father. She shook her head mentally laughing at the thought.

Gohan lifted his head up and burped as he finished his meal. "Excuse me," he said blushing. "Hey mom, is it okay if Videl and I go out today? I'll take Nimbus," he looked over to his mother waiting for a response.

The fire princess took a sip of her orange juice before replying. "Sure son, make sure to stop into town and get some groceries too," she smiled. 'Finally! He's making a move! I'll have grandchildren at last! Hehehehe.'

Goten frowned and wore a few pieces of rice on his face. "No fair! I wanna ride on Nimbus too!" he pouted.

Videl raised a brow. "What's a Nimbus?" she asked.

A sweat droplet ran down the side of his face. "You'll find out in a minute," the teenage demi saiyan got up from the table and ruffled his little brothers hair giving him a smile. "Sorry bro, I promise I'll bring you next time," he said looking towards Videl who had just finished eating. "Are you finished?"

She looked at Gohan rising from the table to put her dishes in the sink. She drank the last bit of her orange juice before putting in the sink and then trying to attempt to wash her dishes but was stopped by Chichi.

"You don't have to Videl, I've got it," the elder woman said giving her a sweet smile.

Videl pressed her eyebrows. "Are you sure?" she asked.

Chichi took the dishes from Videl and set the back in the sink. "Yes, now you and Gohan go and have fun," she shooed.

Gohan and Videl made their way out the front door. Gohan down looked at Videl and smiled.

She raised a brow unsure why he was smiling at her. "Gohan wah?-"

"NIMBUS1" he yelled loudly for the flying yellow cloud. It flew right to him in a matter of seconds.

"G-gohan w-what's that?" she asked looking at the yellow floating cloud as it hummed.

He scratched his hair. "Oh hehe right! Videl this is the Nimbus cloud, Nimbus this is Videl. The Nimbus cloud was given to my dad years ago by the turtle hermit, Master Roshi," he explained.

Her eyes widened. "Oh that's right, I forgot that your dad trained with him," she said.

Gohan smiled, remembering all the times his father told him stories about his training and adventures. "Yeah, anyways you have to be pure of heart to ride it," he said as he hopped on. He looked down at Videl, holding out his hand. "I promise it's safe."

She furrowed her brows. "Are you sure?" she asked.

He nodded and gave her a reassuring smile. "Hey I never steered you wrong before, have I?"

The raven haired girl narrowed her eyes playfully taking his hand lightly. "Weeeeeeeeeeell," she said holding back a laugh.

He smirked and pulled her up on the cloud and loosely wrapped an arm around her waist. Videl giggled as she was so suddenly yanked up and stood firmly on the cloud.

Gohan looked down at her and smiled. "Are you ready?" he asked.

She smirked. "Yeah," she said.

"Alight, just hold on," he said.

Videl raised a brow. "Why would I need to- Ahhhhhh!" she screamed as the speed of the cloud took her by surprise. She wrapped her arms around his waist as they flew off into the sky.

*************************************/*****************************

"Gohan, where are we going?" she asked.

He looked over at her. "Well we could go into town for groceries first and then do whatever if you want," he said.

"Okay that's cool," she said.

He smiled. "Okay," he said as the cloud flew them into the small town. They landed near a small cosmetic shop and watched as the cloud flew away.

"Gohan, how come we didn't just fly here?" she asked looking at the demi saiyan.

He looked over at her and smiled. "Well Nimbus doesn't really get taken out for a ride that often apart from whenever Goten sometimes rides him so I thought taking him out riding would be good," he said.

"Gohan? Is that you," asked the voice of a girl.

Gohan turned around to see who had called his name. He smiled looking at the brown haired girl from his childhood. "Lime! How are you?" he asked.

She smiled. "I've been good," she said.

Videl raised her brow looking the girl over. 'I wonder how she knows Gohan,' she thought feeling slightly jealous after seeing how familiar they were. "Ahem," she coughed falsely.

The demi saiyan looked back at Videl. "Oh Videl this is Lime, she's an old childhood friend. Lime this is Videl, she's my friend from school," he said.

Lime smiled at Videl and bowed. "It's nice to meet you," she said.

"Likewise," Videl smiled.

Lime turned to Gohan. "So you came into town to for the usually I take it," she said.

He smiled rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah," he said.

"Well come on back to grandpa's shop," she said walking the way to the shop, Videl and Gohan following her.

Lime's grandfather was outside of his store putting some pots with plants out on the ground.

"Grandpa!" Lime yelled gaining his attention.

The elderman turned and smiled as he saw his granddaughter. "Lime! Where have you been?" he asked.

She smiled. "I went to look at some things over by the cosmetic shop, look who I ran into," she said pointing to Gohan and Videl. "You remember Gohan and this is his friend from school, Videl."

"Nice to meet you young lady," the elder man said.

Videl smiled. "Nice to meet you too," she said bowing.

Lime's grandfather smiled. "My! It sure has been a while since I've see you boy. You've sprouted into a fine young man," he said.

Gohan had a blush painted on his face from the compliment. "Thanks sir," he said.

"So did you come into town to shop?" he asked.

"Yes sir," Gohan said.

The old man smiled. "Alright come follow me inside to the back. I have what you need already prepared," he said.

The young demi- saiyan smiled. "Thank you, sir," he said as he followed the man in the back of the store to get the groceries.

"So Videl, do you like Gohan?" Lime asked.

Videl's eyes widened and she blushed. "What? What do you mean?" she asked.

The brown haired girl chuckled. "I mean do you like him? Like do you have a crush on him?" she asked.

The blush remained on her face. "What makes you ask that?"

Lime smirked. "Because you seemed totally jealous earlier," she said.

She sighed. "I kinda sorta might have a crush on him," she admitted.

"I knew it! Haha! I could totally see you guys together," she said.

"R-really?"

Lime smiled. "Of course! I've known Gohan since we were both 7, he totally likes you I can tell by the way he looks at you," she said.

"How does he look at me?" Videl asked.

Her smile widened. "Like you're the only girl on the face of this planet," she said.

Gohan came out of the shop with 2 big bags filled with groceries. Lime's grandfather came out slowly after him.

"I still can't see how you can carry those like they weigh like nothing," Lime's grandfather said in awe.

Videl raised a brow. "Surly they can't be that heavy," she said skeptically.

"Oh trust me they're very heavy," Lime said.

"Hmm I bet I can pick them up," she said confidently.

Gohan shrugged as he put one of the bags down for her to pick up. Videl walked around the bag and then picked it up with ease. She looked at Gohan signaling him that it was okay to give her the other bag. He gently put the other bag on her shoulder making sure she had a firm grasp on it.

Lime and her grandfather were in shock.

"Wow Videl you're really strong," she said.

The champ's daughter smiled confidently. "Well I have been training for the past 3 months to be in the martial arts tournament. Gohan has been training me," she explained.

The old man blinked out of shear balefulness. "That's amazing," he said.

Gohan smiled. "Yeah she is," he said causing Videl to blush. "Speaking of training this is our day off so we're gonna enjoy it."

Lime smiled. "Oh well it was nice seeing you Gohan, and it was nice meeting you Videl," she said.

She smiled. "It was nice to meet you too," she said.

Gohan called for the Nimbus cloud once again and it came just as fast as before. "We'll come by and visit again soon," he said waving before him and Videl hopped on the yellow cloud. The cloud flew off into the clouds once again.

"Where to next Gohan?" Videl asked.

He thought. "Hm I'm not sure to be honest, where would you want to go?" he asked.

"Hmm," her eyes looked down and began to drift looking down at the trees they flew by. "We could just fly around on Nimbus. You did say he doesn't get out much," she said.

The demi saiyan smiled. "Okay, but here's an idea. Why don't you take him for a ride," he said as he hopped off the cloud and flew.

"How do I like steer him?" she asked in confusion.

He chuckled. "Just lean forward when you wanna go fast and lean back when you want to stop or slow down," he said.

Videl leaned forward and the Nimbus cloud flew fast taking her all the way up in the sky soaring above the clouds. The yellow cloud buzzed happily as it did all sorts of tricks. Twirling, spinning through the air and clouds. The raven haired beauty laughed as she through her hands up in the sky touching the soft wet clouds.

Gohan watched her fly through the clouds with the flying yellow cloud. He noticed how the sunlight glistened off of her skin. 'She looks so beautiful,' he thought smiling to himself. He flew up and around her.

"Hey let's have a race!" he said as he stopped in mid air.

Videl leaned back causing the Nimbus cloud to stop. The cloud buzzed happily as if it was agreeing. The teen girl looked down and smirked at the cloud. "Looks like Nimbus wants to race," she said.

"Alright!" he said excitedly. The both lined up perfectly ready to race. "You guys ready?"

Videl nodded.

"Ready, set, go!" he said as they both raced. He was in front of her and Nimbus. "Come on Nimbus I know you can fly faster than that, or maybe you've gotten too old," he chuckled.

The Nimbus cloud buzzed loudly. Videl smiled and leaned forward as the cloud flew faster. They flew a lot faster than what they were going but they were still not fast than Gohan. The three passed through clouds then suddenly a figure flew passed Gohan cutting in front of him causing him and Videl to stop in mid air.

Gohan looked up and smiled recognizing the figure. "Is that you Icurus?"

The dragon roared attacking the demi saiyan with loving licks to his face.

"Hahaha! It's good to see you too!" he shouted. "Wow look how big you got!"

Videl smiled gently falling to her knees as the Nimbus cloud hummed.

He smiled. "Videl this is Icurus, Icurus this is my friend Videl," he said. The dragon looked at the raven haired beauty and attacked her with licks knocking her off of the Nimbus cloud.

She caught herself in mid air. "Hahaha! Easy boy! Easy!" she giggled.

"He seems to like you a lot," he laughed.

"You really think so?" she asked.

"Yes," he smiled. "Just wait till we get back home, Goten's gonna flip."

********************************/***********************************

"Icurus is back!" Goten shouted.

"I know right! It's been so long since we've seen him!" Gohan smiled. The 3 of them sat at the table while they waited for Chichi to finish cooking food. As soon as the food was done Chichi set the table.

"Hey I was wondering if I could join the WMAT too," Goten said with a stern look on his face that in every way, shape, and form resembled that of Goku.

"Well I don't see why not but you'd have to ask mom," Gohan said in a low whisper hoping his mother didn't hear him, but with Chichi's mothering instincts she in fact heard every word.

"If you wanted to join all you had to do was ask," Chichi said with her back turned putting dishes in the sink.

"So I can go?" Goten asked.

"No Goten absolutely not! I don't want you two turning out to be just like your father. My heart couldn't take it if you turned out to be muscle bound thug without a brain!" Chichi yelled and held up her frying pan of doom. Just seeing it made the boys flinch.

"Isn't there anyway he can join Chichi? Goten really wants to be in the tournament. He is really strong," Videl asked hoping Chichi would agree. "Not to mention the prize money."

Chichi smiled lowering her frying pan of doom. "Prize money? Well I guess he could enter, but only for the money. It will go straight to Gohan and Goten's college fund. And since they're both fighting the chances of winning will be in our favor," she said.

Seeing this made Gohan and Goten sigh with relief. Gohan mouthed a small thank you to Videl and as a response Videl just laughed and shook her head smiling. The three fighters quickly finished their food.

************************************The Next Day***************************************************

Gohan knew Videl had mastered her ki control but he still wanted to make sure she knew what she was doing. But all in all he just wanted to spend time with her. In the time they had spent together he'd grown closer to her in more ways that he even dreamed.

"Hey Gohan look at how big my blast has gotten!" Videl said as she lifted a hand blasting energy straight into the air.

He smiled. "That was great Videl," Gohan said.

She laughed as she continued blasting in the air. Gohan walked over to his brother who was currently throwing punches in the air. He watched his form and realized it was still a little sloppy.

"Hey Goten your form is a little off straighten your back," he critiqued. Once Gohan saw that Goten fixed his stance he went off to continue on his own he set out on his own training. 'This tournament is gonna be the most exciting one yet!' Gohan thought as he turned super and began throwing kicks and punches in the air.

*************************************Meanwhile in the other world*******************************************

"This tournament sounds like an interesting one," said a certain spiky haired warrior. "I hope I can enter in more after this!"

"No way Goku there are rules!" King Kai shouted.

"Awe but King Kai can't we break a few rules?" Goku asked while he scratched his head.

The blue skinned Kai's brows furrowed. "No and that's final!" he shouted.

"Are you feeling a little bitter because I brought Cell to your planet when he was just about to self-destruct?" Goku asked with a slight frown. "How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"

A vein pulsed on his forehead. "That was my home you asshole!" King Kai yelled.

Goku frowned. "You're on South Kai's planet right now can't you two just share it?" he asked.

"No you dumbass! My planet was specifically for me." the Kai shouted stomping off.

"Oh," Goku said frowning.
