Hello again readers! Sorry this chapter is so late in comparison to the gap between chapters 1 and 2. It brings me great joy to give you Chapter 3 of the story, I hope you all enjoy. If you could leave a review that'd be fan-fricking-tastic but yeah, thanks for reading so far.

I'd like to address a review left by "Guest" 1. Could you leave nickname or something to identify yourself? 2. I understand becoming a doctor is probably harder than how Gohan became a doctor, if I rewrite this, that will definitely be a priority point to change, but for now just imagine it's because it's how this AU DBZ universe works ok.

Also Erasa won't be appearing for a bit because the story is about to focus a lot on Gohan at the hospital for a couple of chapters, as soon as that's over, if not by the end I'll introduce the AU styled Erasa Roober. (Just so you don't freak out about Erasa SaiyaStyles XD)

I'm also glad I surprised a few people with both Lime and Videl.

Anyway, I'm wasting good word count here, so on with the Story.

I Live for the Past

Chapter 3: "Time flies when you're having… oh ok"

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

I quickly scanned over his patient sheet and read that they had found multiple wounds, most likely from falling debris, I quickly set upon finding the exact locations and to see how deep they were. Two of the wounds were easily fixed by cleaning them out and quickly stitching them up.

The other five had burst several organs and had lodged in them, keeping him alive, but in agony. I quickly found a doctor who was higher up than myself, as a newbie I was like a trainee. I quickly explained my reasoning for being here and then told him that he needed to go into theatre as soon as possible.

After sorting those bits with the doctor I saw a young woman trying to get out of the ward, I quickly rushed over and escorted her back to her booth. She was one of the many people injured due to the robbers' violence. I asked her a few questions to keep her calm and found out her name was Marie, she had, like myself, only recently moved to Satan City and was trying to pursue a career in modelling. Marie had moved into the city with a few old college friends and had been helping one of them with some shopping when the robbery happened.

I was appalled that someone, some human could be cruel to so many innocent people. I had seen it before when I was Saiyaman and had seen many more incidents with the other Z-fighters. It just seemed so alien, so un-human.

After several hours of helping around trying to stay out of the way of the other whilst still doing my job, I was informed by Lime that we had everything under control and I could leave, she discreetly handed me a stuffed manila envelope, at first I denied the package but Lime forced it upon me and I couldn't… wouldn't stop it, even if I tried.

I walked out of ICU and wandered outside, I went to sit on a bench when a familiar voice called me. "Hey, Gohan?" I turned to the owner of the voice and was met with the sight of Videl Satan again. She had cleaned herself up a bit, her hair not so dishevelled. I jogged towards her and grinned. Just like back at school, whenever she was around, even the times when she was grumpy, it would always make me smile, and my smile was quite infectious so within seconds she was grinning back at me.

"Why are you still here?" I asked, not bothered by Videl being here still, just curious.

"After I finished questioning the patients that weren't in bad conditions I decided to wait for you, I mean, it's been 6 years since we last saw each other."

"Why? You could have at least gone home and gotten yourself cleaned up and relaxed, you had plenty of time."

"I…I just wanted to talk." Videl replied, for the first time looking sheepish about what she said.

I laughed at that and then gave her a light hug, she deserved it for what she had been through today.

"So… what happened today, who was it who attacked the building?"

"Sources from the crime scene and from witnesses point towards the Blue Streaks, a gang-"

"Of low lives who like to prey on those who are defenceless than those who can fight back." I intercepted her. She looked at me shocked that I knew of the gang she was on about, not many did.

"How… how did you know that?" she asked looking at me as if I was now a ghost.

"I believe that you mentioned them before, in our final year at highschool." I replied smiling again.

"Oh." That was the only thing I got out of her then.

"So Videl, how about you come over to my place and I'll treat you to dinner?" I asked, it seemed to be innocent enough, it wasn't like I wanted her to come over for anything worse.

"Sure, I guess, are you ok with that, I mean yes, that'd be great." Videl blurted out, a pink tinge lighting her face, was I missing something?

"How about some sweet and sour pork?"

"If it's the same as the stuff you brought to school then yes." She smiled, I remembered when I used to bring in village sized meals just for myself, and the shocked looks, at first, from the three of them.

"Come on then, let's go, the sooner we leave the sooner you can try my cooking not my mom's."

After opening the door on her side I let Videl in and got in myself, turning the keys in the ignition and the car's engine exploded into life, settled into that generic purring noise a car makes, then exploded again as I hit the accelerator a tad too hard.

"Oops! Sorry Videl, my bad!" I called over to my now furious passenger. Videl was probably fuming over my lack of safe driving, so after that I drove at the speed limit, glancing every now and then over at Videl, only to see her focused on what was in front of us.

Videl POV (Told you one might come at some point!)

I couldn't believe Gohan just did that! He was being such a gentleman and then as soon as the car came to life he acted like such a… such a teenager, one who had just gotten his first car. I heard him cry out a quick apology, one which was very genuine, so I began to calm myself down inside, not wanting him to get away with it that easily. After staring out at the traffic in front of us for about twenty minutes I glanced at Gohan, his looks told me everything I wanted to know. He definitely hadn't done it on purpose, he didn't think I'd stay. His look also had something that confused me, it looked as if Gohan wanted something from me, and I couldn't understand it. After ten more minutes we arrived at a brand new house, just off of the outskirts of Satan City.

As before he got out and dashed over to my side and like a gentleman opened the car door for me. As we neared the door he looked at me panic stricken. "Videl, could you wait out here for five minutes please?" he begged. He fished out a capsule case blurting out that he had gone straight to the hospital from West City with all of his things so hadn't had time to unpack properly.

"Sur Gohan, get it all sorted, but I'd better be getting something in return." I replied with a smirk, which to my astonishment, he just shrugged and said sure. The Gohan from highschool would have panicked at first and stuttered a response, this new Gohan was really getting to me, I started feeling a heat spread across my face, Gohan, nerdy, tall, thin Gohan from the 439 mountain area was making me blush.

Gohan POV

I glanced back at Videl through the lounge windows, she was still sitting on the bonnet of my car, waiting patiently, but she had a curious look on her face, as if she was debating something. I quickly moved onto finishing the lounge by un-capsulizing the coffee table and lamp. After five minutes the whole of the ground floor was finished. I walked outside to call Videl in. She looked my way as the door opened and smiled when I said it was ready. I stepped aside to let her in first and then followed, shutting the door after me.

Okay, I'm sorry this chapter is smaller than the others but I didn't want to rush into the next part, so this is it for this chapter, sorry it took a while to get done for such a small chapter, but I've had exams this week and wanted to make sure I was prepared for them.

Thanks for reading and please review, the more reviews I get the more likely I am to be inspired to write the next chapter and get it out sooner
