Chapter Five: The Mystery Is Solved
"Hmm… That's interesting…" The blue haired girl genius said, overlooking the clipped engine wires. "Videl? Looks like your car was sabotaged."
"What?! Are you kidding me?! Who could've done this?!" Videl furiously asked. "They'll pay!" She said, clenching her fists and overlooking the damage done
"Teehee! I bet I know who it was!" Bulma said with a wink towards Videl.
"Tell me! What do you know?" Videl asked, confused. "Only as much as you, Videl!" Bulma replied with another wink. "You truly are a horrible liar!"
"Wait. Whats she lying about?" Gohan piped up from the couch in the corner. "This was a serious incident! We have to find out who did this!"
"Haha! How gullible!" A gruff voice called out from the hallway. "You're Kakarot's boy, alright!"
"What are you talking about, Vegeta?"
"Isn't it obvious?" The Saiyan Prince continued through bites of carrot cake. "Your mate did the job herself." He finally stated, causing everyone in the garage to stare at a visibly embarrassed Videl.
"Um… Hehe… Maybe?" Videl stammered, looking for any type of exit from the situation. "Ok… I admit it… I purposely cut the wires!" She finally confessed, her face as red as a beet. "You mad at me, Gohan?"
"Oh great. Sappy arguments. Not in my house, kids." Vegeta quipped, still chowing down on his cake. "Anyways, it'll take the servant woman at least a half hour to fix your car. You might as well take in the sights of the city." He then said, earning a death glare from Bulma.
"Vegeta! What did I tell you about calling me that?!" Bulma yelled at Vegeta with the decibel level of a 747 jet, causing Vegeta to drop his precious carrot cake.
"Um… Videl? We'd better run!" Gohan nervously said, quickly grabbing her hand and flying out the door. "Bye guys!"
A few minutes later, the couple arrived at a small sidewalk café. Both of them ordered the same thing, a white chocolate mocha. Gohan, of course, had to have extra foam. "What a nice day for a coffee date, don't you think Vi?" He said, soon noticing his girlfriend's rather sad disposition. "Whats wrong, hun?"
"You never answered me… You never told me if you were mad or not…" She said, a stray tear running down her cheek. "The only reason I did what I did is because I just wanted to be closer to you. We never really had a chance to bond like that. You were always so nervous around me, and I wanted to fix that. I understand if you're mad…"
"Oh, Vi… Of course I'm not mad!" Gohan replied, bringing a slight smile back to Videl's face. "Why would I be?" Videl just softly shook her head, gave Gohan a smile, and took a drink of her coffee. "So… What was your favorite part about last night?" He asked.
"Gosh. I really can't choose!" She cheerfully replied. She had to admit, last night, heck, the last twenty four hours were the best of her life. "I think… It was when you told me you loved me."
"Really?" Gohan quizzed. It still puzzled him how those three little words could mean so much to a person. He loved the feeling they gave him when she said them, though.
"Yeah. What about you?" She replied, stirring her coffee, and getting right up close to Gohan's face.
"Heh, you know, you're really good at putting me on the spot, ViVi." Gohan nervously replied, sweating a bullet or two. "ViVi?" She asked curiously. "Where'd you come up with that one?"
"Um… It just came to me!" He nervously replied. He wouldn't admit it was just a nervous stutter. "Well, I thought it was cute, sweetie!" Videl then replied, making Gohan sigh in relief. "Say, shouldn't we be heading back to Bulma's? My car should be done by now." Gohan nodded in agreement, and the couple took to the skies, hand in hand.
A few minutes later, the couple arrived back at Capsule Corp., and received the fixed car. Gohan and Videl kissed goodbye, and headed their separate ways.
