No frills!!



Chapter 16

Gohan gave Videl a gentle hug as he reluctantly got up and helped her to her feet. His sensitive ears picked up his mother calling them for dinner.

"Dinner time! Let's go eat and then we can practice with goten K?" Videl nodded as he picked her up and quickly flew them to his home where his mother had sat up the picnic table outside. Goten was their already he had snuck a roll behind Chi-chi's back and crammed the whole thing in his mouth so he wouldn't get caught.

"Fit's ibout fime." He mumble as Chi-chi eyed him suspiciously. Gohan and Videl sat down next to each other in front of Chi-chi and Goten.

"So how was school?" Chi-chi asked as she dished out the overwhelming portions. She eyed the two across from her and was trying not to smile. Bulma had already called her twice to give her all the details. She was tickled that they were bonded but she was kind of upset that Gohan would go to Vegeta for advice instead of her. There was no telling what he told him.

Gohan almost choked on his food as Videl slapped him on his back hurting her hand in the process. "Um.. I kinda got in trouble." He mumbled looking down as he palyed with his food.

"Some idiot was bothering me and Gohan stood u p to him." Videl said proudly leaving out the fact that he almost killed him in the process.

Chi-chi nodded. "That's what Bulma told me. So your still allowed in school?" She asked hopefully.

Gohan sighed he didn't think that he could contain himself being that close to Videl without touching her, kissing her, lov…

"Gohan! You didn't answer my question."

"Uh sorry mom. Actually I was thinking it would be better if I took some time off. I really need to train for the tournament."

Chi-chi thought a moment. He would have a better chance of winning if he had more time to train and we could really use the money…

"Oh alright! But just until the tournament! If you won you could go to the University!!" Chi-chi said her eyes turning into stars.

Gohan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked over at Videl and saw that she was watching him. She patted his leg under the table in support. She grinned wickedly as she slowly slide it up his thigh. Gohan jumped hitting his knee on the top of the table almost breaking it. Videl giggled as she gave him an innocent look as she put both her hands above the table again.

"Mmmm this is delious Chi-chi!" Videl said breaking the silence, well it was silent except for Goten eating noisily. "I wish our cook cooked as well as you do."

Chi-chi's jaw dropped. "You have your own cook?" She asked.

"You must be rich!" Goten shouted out as he licked his fingers.

Videl just shrugged embarrassedly, she hated when people treated her differently because of money.

"Goten!" Chi-chi scolded him. "Videl is our guest you ask questions like that! Are you?" she asked looking back at Videl.

"I'm not rich my dad is. He changed so much when he started getting all that money. Sometimes I think it's a curse." Videl said as tears welled up in her eyes.

Chi-chi patted her on the hand. Maybe it was a blessing that Gohan didn't take the credit for beating cell. She saw Gohan put his arm Videl and give her a hug. She sighed.. :I'm gonna have grandchildren!:

************************************************************

A little while latter Gohan was watching Videl straining her hardest and Goten jumping up and down like a frog. (That reminds me I have to pick up some crickets for my son's toad! ) He sighed "No no Goten! Flying and hoping are to different things! Use your energy." (I know it's cheap stealing lines from the show but I LOVE that one!!!)

Goten nodded and concentrated as he slowly began to levitate. Gohan laughed in excitement as Goten flew off wobbly. He saw Videl sit down in defeat and walked over to her. She looked up at him and forced a smile.

"Are you sure that humans can fly?" She asked watching Goten get the hang of it and start zooming through the air.

"Of course!!" Gohan said sitting down next to her. "I know lots of humans that can fly. Krillin, Yamacha, Tien …"

"The Yamacha? The baseball player?" Videl asked her eyes widening. (Okay I don't know if this was in the series or not but I've read it in a lot of fics so I'm assuming that it was in the series please let me know either way. Thanks!!)

"I guess." Gohan said shrugging.

"How do you know all of these famous people? Bulma, Yamacha,…."

"Videl Satan." Gohan added smiling as she blushed. "We'll actually they're friends of my dad. I've known them all my life."

"Your so lucky Gohan."

"I know cause I have you." He turned so he was facing her. She was so close, they leaned in together and there lips met gently. He caressed her face with his hand. "You are so very special Videl and you can do anything that you put mind too. Come on!" He said pulling her to her feet. He had her gather her energy like she did before and then taught her how to push it down.

Several hours later Videl finally was able to lift herself off the ground. "Gohan look!" She cried excitedly as she levitated a little bit more. Exhausted she slowly sank back to earth as she looked up at Gohan and laughed child like as he scooped her up in his arms and spun her around in circles.

"See I told you, you could do it! Now the rest will be easy." Gohan reassured her as he held her close.

"I love you Gohan." She breathed against him.

"I love you too Videl. And I always will."
