Hey guys, I'm back again, after looking at all the comments about the structure of the first part I changed it, the only reason I had it like that is that I find it easier to write in that format but I promise to make sure it is easier for you to read, I don't want my audience hating my writing on how its set out.

Anyway to the story, enjoy!

I Live for the Past

Chapter 2: It pays to be on Time

Gohan POV

After leaving the TV store I realised that I had twenty minutes to get to Satan General so I rushed to my car and hightailed it to the hospital, probably gaining a few points on my license but at the time I really didn't care. After avoiding all the lunch hour traffic I arrived in front of the hospital with ten minutes to spare. Quickly locking my car and smoothing out any creases in my suit I rushed to the main reception where I was told to go to the third floor and take the first door on my left.

'I really hope I'm not late, I want this job more than I do a lot of things, maybe not food but…' I thought anxiously to myself.

After knocking on the door I was told to enter by a voice that seemed a bit familiar, as I opened the door I noticed a mane of brown hair just peaking over the chair which was facing out into the city.

"Hi, I'm Gohan Son, I'm here for an interview." I told the anonymous lady who still faced the window.

"I used to know a boy named Gohan, although he had blonde hair and bright teal eyes." She barely whispered, but with all my traits I heard every syllable.

"May I ask who you are, seeing as you know me now?" I asked trying to maintain my cool, I'd never met anyone who spoke away from me when talking directly to me.

"I am Dr. Lime Lao, I head the ICU at Satan General." She replied softly, as if her day had been too stressful to deal with me.

"He saved you from drowning in a river near Chazke Village, and then helped stop Mr. Borbonne, didn't he?" I said a smirk growing on my face, I knew that would get her. And true to my word she immediately span her chair around a look of anger and shock written all over her face.

"How would you know that, Gohan?" Lime spat at me with surprising bitterness.

"Because I remember a young brown haired little girl falling into a river from a tree, she was a very sweet young girl who enjoyed the company of her grandfather, Mr. Lao." I replied smiling at her softly, trying to convey to her through my body language that I was the same Gohan she once knew.

"How?" Lime whispered, shocked that I could be the same young man she had met when I obviously had no similarities to the version she remembered due to being Super Saiyan.

"I had hair dye and contacts in?" I replied in more of a question than a statement.

"No, not that, Cell, how did he… how did it die?" she asked sobbing now. I couldn't leave her over there sobbing so I moved around her cluttered desk and embraced her as she shed tears of forgotten, repressed pain, onto my shirt.

"Can I trust you Lime?" I asked, not wanting an old friend to start telling everyone who beat Cell, she'd be put in a mental home for sure. Her sobbing frame nodded against my chest as more tears came flooding out of her eyes.

"After the cameras shut off I became cocky, the blonde hair and teal eyes is a sort of transformation which makes me stronger, the second level of that made me cocky and arrogant. It cost me my father. In an epic struggle between my Kamehameha and Cell's I eventually pulled through and won, but only because of my father's divine intervention. He was and still is my hero, even if he isn't alive anymore."

"But that still doesn't explain how Cell died."

"Cell died by my Kamehameha which disintegrated him. He's never coming back." I consoled her by holding her tight against me, rubbing her back gently.

After a minute or two we broke apart and I looked her in the eyes, smiling at her, I must have done the right thing because the next moment she was smiling too and giggling along as well.

"Right," Lime said composing herself, "We'd better get this interview sorted out, then maybe after we could go around town have a bit to eat?"

"Sure, I'd love to."

*- An hour later -*

"So Dr. Son," Lime smirked at me, "How long have you known about this wonderful restaurant?"

"Well Dr. Lao, it may surprise you but I went to highschool here for my last two years, I had a while to find some very nice restaurants, maybe not as good as my mother's cooking but still, rather nice."

"So the mysterious young boy from my youth, the shy one at that still managed to have a social life after that?" she giggled out.

"Hey! Just because I was shy then doesn't mean I couldn't socialise." I retorted, slightly offended even though I knew Lime was just teasing.

After we finished our short break Lime said she had to go back to work and that I was to arrive in the morning at 6:00 AM sharp. I decided to call Bulma and Mom and tell them the good news. Both women were ecstatic that I had gotten the job, I left out the part about my boss being an old friend and that she had called the other applicants and refused them saying that the right person had been selected.

I had also asked Bulma if she could arrange a few tours of some nearby apartments and houses, the drive from West City to Satan City was quite the trek and I'd prefer not to explain why I still lived away from the city I worked in.

After a few tours I made up my mind, my new abode was slightly smaller than my home in West City, which was going to become my holiday home. Maybe after a while I'd invite my old friends over, that I if I ever bumped into them again, I wasn't planning on finding Videl by going to ask Mr. Satan, I'd rather ask a Vegeta for food.

Once it had been fully sorted I drove back home and packed all of my belongings that I would need. Clothes, food, toiletries and bedding stuff. I capsulated them and began the drive back.

Just as I passed the city's border my phone began to ring, I looked at the display and was surprised to see Lime come up as the caller ID, confused I quickly accepted the call.

"What's up Lime?"

"Gohan?!" she asked hurriedly, as soon as she said my name with the worry in her voice I knew there was something wrong.

"Lime, what is it?"

"I ned your help, I know you aren't meant to begin until tomorrow but we need some more hands, there was a robbery and we have too many casualties, we have too many needing ICU professionals, can you get here as soon as-"

"I'm on it, I'll be there as soon as, what should I ask the receptionist?"

"Just tell her I sent you, she'll send you to me as soon as."

I ended the call and started to speed up. As I turned around the next junction I saw the aftermath of the robbery, the street was littered with both wreckage of the police vehicles and bits of buildings. Then I saw a young woman in full body gear, long ebony hair tied into a loose ponytail and then she turned around. I was shell shocked, the woman in the gear was the one and only Videl Satan. I stopped my car and quickly got out.

"Videl!" I shouted, catching said woman's attention, she frowned and looked at me quizzically. I briskly walked up to her and smiled. "Long time, no see Videl." It must have clicked after I said that, or maybe it was when I placed my arm behind my head and grinned a bit sheepishly.

"Gohan!" she cried jogging to me and hugging me, I don't know what it was but as soon as she hugged me, all my senses seemed to go into overdrive, like I was looking through binoculars, hearing through loudspeakers and like my skin was hypersensitive.

"Oh. My. God!" she cried after releasing me, "What are you doing here? Did you finally return for good? You vanished after highschool and no one has seen or heard from you since."

"Woah, Videl calm down, I'm heading over to Satan General, I've just become a doctor there and I'm needed, I stopped to see if you needed a lift to the hospital, I'm guessing you're an official police officer now then?"

"Yeah, I joined as soon as highschool finished, then you left and Sharpie somehow became a news presenter, God knows how that happened. I'd actually love a lift, it'd be easier than dealing with all of the reporters when they arrive here."

"Come on then." I gestured to my car, its white colour becoming increasingly browner from all the roads and dirt.

After we hit the traffic I sped up to the legal limit relapsing into the mind-set that people needed my help, it felt good to be back. After rounding the corner Videl whispered one word, one word which made my heart reach out for her, "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you leave, we were all best friends, Sharpie, the most arrogant lad in class actually respected you, you had the best of every social circle in three people, why did you just leave it all behind? How could you just leave I all behind?"

My voice caught in my throat, how could I answer that without sounding like a complete jackass, or even worse, like I never actually cared?

"Videl… what I did, wasn't fair, nor does me saying that justify it, but I left for the chance to do something my family thought was amazing, I had the full support of my mom, my godmother and even my godfather, a man, who I might add, had no interest in what I did when I first met him."

I glanced over to her and saw that her hands were gripping her shirt tightly, as if she was resisting the temptation to slap me.

"I'm sorry I never got in touch, I began my own company and being the perfectionist that I am, got caught up in making it the best it could be. I decided yesterday that I was bored of the same thing day in day out, so I applied here hoping to run into you at some point, hoping that we could begin a fresh start and that once I had been around for a few weeks, start to do some things we used to, like when we all went paintballing, or to the cinema."

I realised that what I had said must have had an effect on Videl's psyche as she was looking over at me with a shocked expression, and had probably pieced all the puzzle together, the car, the suit, my explanation. What happened next surprised me, Videl held my hand over the gear stick, and smiled.

"Thank you for coming back, I missed you Gohan, more than I thought I would."

"I missed you too Videl, I missed the little things, like how when you're nervous you'd start messing with your right pigtail, I thought it made you quite adorable." I smiled, then it became a grin and we both started laughing at that.

As we pulled up Videl said, "I never thought I'd see the day when shy Gohan was replaced by this confident you, it suits you." We both got out of the car, I locked it and we dashed over to the reception, as instructed by Lime I asked where to go and was quickly told to go to a room just down the corridor, once there I got changed into the standard medical robes and left, tracking down Lime through her ki. I noticed that in the room she was in there were a dozen damaged kis, all wavering between unconscious.

I opened the double doors into the ICU and quickly walked over to Lime, she had a clipboard in her arms and looked too stressed again, the stress had left when we had talked earlier, but now it was if that had never happened.

"Hey Lime, I'm here, what do I need to do?"

"Gohan! Thank god you're here, we have a patient who needs to go into theatre ASAP, so can you take care of this fine young man whilst I head up?"

"Of course, I'll take good care of him."

After she left I glanced up at the patient in general, he had short brown hair, in that style where it flicks over one eye, two piercings in his lips and one that I could see in his left ear.

"Well then," I looked at the sheet on the clipboard, "David, let's see what I can do to help."

And so began my first day as a part of Satan General Hospital's ICU.

So yeah, Gohan is now a doctor, what do you think, I hope its appealing to you all. I just want to say thank you to those people who reviewed chapter 1, thank you for all the feedback, I changed the layout of this one as well, as the original was harder to read because of the alignment settings, I hope this chapter lives up to your expectations, and now we have two major female characters involved, Videl and Lime, will there be any sexual tension between the two as Gohan influences how the feel for him, accidentally of course.

Please review, it means quite a bit to see that so far I have: 530 views from both logins and guests, 7 reviews, 4 favourites and 10 followers. Thank you all of those people, you know who you are.

I will try to begin Chapter 3 as soon as, but I have been writing all day on and off as well as exam revision so I may not be able to get it up as soon.
