Okay this chapter is a little longer!! Yeah!! Let me know how far they
should go in this fic. If they do "Mate" I will probably only imply it
since I have so many young readers. Meaning anyone younger than me!! He he

Chapter 8
Gohan looked down at Videl who was sitting next to him on rock. She was looking up at him expectantly. A soft breeze blew a strand of hair across her face and he gently brushed it back with his hand softly caressing her cheek in the process. He knew very little about the bonding process. He knew his parents were bonded but he wasn't real sure on the specifics. His dad was not around to ask and he was too embarrassed to ask his mother. His only other option was to ask Vegeta. Which was worse than no option at all. He could sense her confusion through their fragile link and he swallowed hard not sure where to start.
"Did you want to tell me something?" Videl asked hopefully.
"Um… Yeah, I'm really not sure where to start though." Gohan sighed. He supposed that he might as well tell her everything. Seeing that with this bonding thing eventually she would find out any how from just reading his mind. He really couldn't remember all the steps and what order they went though. Maybe I should talk to Vegeta. He thought, how bad could it be? The worst he could do was beat the crap out of me for wasting his time.
"GOHAN! DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME?!!!" Videl yelled sending flocks of birds flying for cover.
Gohan jumped in surprise cartwheeling his arms to keep from falling off the boulder. Videl giggled as he lost his balance and landed on his bum. (A/N I thought bum sounded better than butt or behind!) She slid off her rock and sat next to Gohan on the grass.
"I wanna know about this bonding thing." Videl insisted.
"Alright, in um.. my fathers culture. Two people who are err… very close can sometimes form a mental bond where they can read each others mind."
"Really? I never heard of that before." Videl said doubtfully. "Is your father from another country?"
"Yeah, kind of."
"So let me see. Your telling me that we can read each others minds?"
"Yes." Gohan replied.
"So say for instance if we're in school and I need help on a test you can tell me the answers without anyone knowing?" Videl asked her voice raising in pitch from excitement.
Gohan sweatdropped. "No! That would be cheating!!"
Videl frowned. "So what good is it then?"
"I don't know!! I've never thought about it before."
:Gohan.: Videl thought to herself.
"What?" Gohan asked.
"Just testing you." Videl smiled thinking of the endless ways she could bug Gohan with this.
:Don't even think about it.: Gohan replied reading her mind.
Videl sighed maybe this wasn't a good thing after all. "Well how do you stop it?"
"Stop what?" Gohan asked puzzled.
Videl rolled her eyes. "This mind thing."
"Oh.. It's permanent."
"WHAT!!!!" Videl screeched. "What do you mean permanent!?!"
"Well usually the bond doesn't take place until you've ah..uh… mated." Gohan stammered blushing as a picture of him and Videl mating flashed involuntarily through his mind. Videl slapped him upside his head as she read his thoughts.
"Ahh.. sorry." Gohan said blushing.
"Your gonna be sorry if you don't fix this! You haven't even kissed me yet!" Videl blurted out angrily. Realizing what she had said she covered her mouth with both of her hands.
Gohan looked at her shocked. "Do you want me to kiss you?" He asked shyly.
Videl rolled her eyes. "Don't you know anything? Your not supposed to ask your supposed to just do it!!! If the girl doesn't like it then she'll let you know!! Didn't your father teach you anything?"
Gohan's face fell as he absentmindedly plucked a blue flower. He starred at it as he told her "My father died years ago."
Videl felt the loss and anguish he was feeling through their bond and she was ashamed. She crawl next to him and lifted his face to hers her breaking at seeing the tears hidden in his eyes. "I'm so sorry Gohan. I'm the dumb one. I always say things without thinking first."
Gohan looked down at her concerned face so near his. Wanting to be even closer to her he leaned down for a kiss.
