Chapter 7

Gohan drug the lunch out as long as he could. Then he finally had to face the inevitable.

"Are you ready yet Gohan?" Videl asked angrily for the umpteenth time.

Gohan sighed pushing back his chair. "You need help with the dishes mom?" Gohan asked hopefully.

"No dear you two run along and have fun! I'll have Goten help me." Chi- chi said ushering Gohan and Videl out the door.

Gohan found himself outside with Videl as Chi-chi slammed and locked the door behind them. He looked down at the small girl in front of him wondering how such a tiny creature could cause him so much trouble.

"Well I guess we outta get started." He said as he walked off into the woods.

Videl was disappointed as she followed him. She was hoping that he would want to fly there. A tiny voice screaming in her head telling her that she just wanted to feel his arms around her. "Shut up!" She growled angrily.

Gohan stopped and she almost walked into the back of him. "Did you say something?" He asked the blushing girl behind him.

"No, I did not!" She muttered mentally cursing herself.

An awkward silence enveloped them as they continued walking. Half an hour later Videl was starting to get tired from walking through the unforgiving brush although she would never tell Gohan that. :How much farther could it be?: She thought to herself.

"Don't worry we're almost there." Gohan said answering her silent question.

"Huh?"

Gohan looked at her strangely. "You asked me how much further."

"No I did not!"

"Whatever." Gohan said quickly his mind reeling. :No way! We can't be bonding can we?:

"What's bonding?" Videl asked as Gohan sweat dropped.

He laughed "Ah nothing! Hey look we're here!" Gohan said suddenly hoping to change the subject.

Videl was speechless as she came into a clearing full of wildflowers and butterflies. There was a lake with a cascading waterfall bubbling into it.

"Gohan it's beautiful." Videl gasped her eyes shimmering like a child on Christmas morning. She turned and looked up at him and they stood there as if in a trance as they drunk in each other's eyes.

Gohan sighed running his hand through his wild hair. "Videl we need to talk."

"Sure Gohan." Videl said blushing as he grabbed her hand and led her to some small boulders that were scattered around. All thoughts of beating the crap out of him evaporated from her mind.
