there is a surprise guess who won.

Some forest.

It has been two hours since Lime's shocking revelation and Gohan was hiding from everyone he just had too much to think about.

His phone was full of texts and missed calls from his friends, Lime, Bulma and even his mother. Every one of them pleading for him to talk to Lime but he just couldn't do it.

In Gohan's mind it he couldn't make anyone happy just endanger them more. This all stems from past experiences where some enemy would attack him or one of the z gang to get to his father and now that Gohan's the protector of earth he has his fair share of enemies.

So even if he did like lime which he doesn't know if he does it would only bring more pain something she doesn't need.

Gohan sighed "why do emotions always hate me".

"Probably because you are still the whiney kid over thinking everything and ignoring the simple stuff".

Gohan turned to see his former teacher piccolo standing with his signature crossed arms and annoyed look. (Like seriously is that guy ever happy)

"What do you mean piccolo there's nothing simple about this. Gohan said with his mind still spinning

"you may not know how you feel but the situation isn't complicated you are strong enough to protect her and even if you weren't just by knowing her she could be a target so don't think of what could happen just think of what you want for once Gohan" piccolo stated for once showing how much he actually cared for the little kid.

"But I don't know what I want" Gohan just whispered his sadness was easily seen as he didn't even try to mask his emotions.

"Then I can't help you kid you need to figure this out on your own" with that piccolo flew away.

"What do I do" Gohan tried to think on his problem but just fell asleep.

Lime's house.

Lime was in hysterics for the rest of the day. She couldn't believe she could be so stupid "Gohan hates me I know it he just ran away what if he never talks to me again" lime continued to cry very unlikely scenarios.

Lime looked at her phone out of her 93 text messages she still didn't get one reply and everyone she asked said they couldn't get a reply either.

Lime decided she couldn't deal with this and took some sleeping pills to have a nap

The next day.

The next day Lime was sitting anxiously while looking for Gohan so they could just talk this out.

But the bell just rang and he still hasn't shown up. Lime decided to see if anyone else knew where he was.

After talking to Videl, erasa (I actually forgot about her she won't be mentioned much) and several teachers but no one has seen him all day. It was getting close to lunch time and Lime's hope was almost all gone until Gohan ran through the door yelling "SORRY IM LATE SLEPT IN" and rushed to his seat forgetting it was next to Lime.

Lime nervously asks Gohan "are you okay I didn't mean to say that".

At the sound of her voice Gohan's blood went cold. 'Fuck I forget she sat next to me'.

"I'm f-fine Lime we will talk at lunch" though in Gohan's head the conversation was very different 'oh I am so going to regret that FUCK!'

The rest of the class was spent with Lime looking hopeful and Gohan trying to stop time.

As lunch rolled around Gohan needed somewhere to hide, but couldn't get away from Lime, she just wouldn't leave him alone.

With a sigh Gohan resigned himself to the fate of talking no matter how awkward it would be.

Sitting at his favourite tree, he signalled lime to begin talking but if you looked close enough you could clearly see Gohan wanting to be somewhere else.

"I'm really sorry about what happened Gohan I didn't mean for that to slip out, I don't want our friendship to be awkward and we can't just talk to each other normally anymore." Lime started.

Gohan just had to take a look at her face to know this has been much worse for her, as he can see the tears staining her face.

He knew he had to say something "I didn't mean to run off Lime I just don't know what I want, the whole situation just scared me". Gohan couldn't see any change on her face after he said that.

Lime decided to do something to help the situation, so she leaned in and gave Gohan a quick peck on the lips then said "we can't talk until tomorrow take this time to think an about what YOU want".

With that she just left Gohan in a shocked state and walked away. 'I hope he makes his choice not just try to give other people what they want, he has given too much in his life.

Gym.

Gohan had left to get his weighted cloths and at the moment he weighed around 2 tonnes.

The entire class was shocked at Gohan's serious attitude, when he was normally carefree now it was like he was trying to break records.

Gohan was approaching 300 vertical push ups and was starting to sweat, he knew the entire class was gawking at him well, except from Lime as she knew what was going on in his head when he acts like this.

While the rest of the class was watching Gohan the coach was waiting for last 30 minutes where the class would spar.

'After all those push ups Gohan will be too tired to fight that will show him'. Ever since Gohan showed off how good he was the coach has wanted him to lose a fight just to show the class that Gohan really is pathetic.

Ten minutes later the sparing had begun and Gohan was ruthless, normally he just ringed people out but today he was knocking everyone unconscious.

The coach couldn't believe it after all Gohan did in those thirty minutes he shouldn't be able to walk.

Gohan did however loose one fight, he was matched up against Lime but refused to fight.

After school.

Gohan knew that tomorrow he had to make a choice and he really had to think about it, he loved Lime but was that love just like he loved his brother, Lime was always family to him so he had no idea what to think.

The more he thought on this the more the idea appealed to him, there was some downsides as well the only thing he truly knew was that he does love Lime and the idea wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

He told his mother he wasn't hungry that night and decided to go to sleep early.

His last thoughts were 'tomorrow is going to be a long day'.

Lime's house after school.

Lime was too nervous to do anything tomorrow she will learn what Gohan's true feelings are, whether he likes her or doesn't like her that way.

Thinking back to that day Lime still couldn't believe that she let those words out, but she wasn't going to regret them because they were true.

She only hoped that Gohan felt the same way, her thoughts were on the kiss it was only a quick peck but it still felt nice to do that with Gohan.

'maybe he just needs a bit of happiness to make cell leave him alone, I can only hope it is the same for my demons' these were Lime's last thoughts before she fell into deep sleep.

Videl's house.

Videl learnt her lesson the last time she trained for hours and hours, it was the same day Lime told everyone about her crush. 'Huh those two have been really weird since then I hope they're still friends'.

Now just because she learnt her lesson didn't mean she stopped training hard, just not as long.

At the moment Videl was doing several routines consisting of 3 minutes beating the shit out of the punching bag, 50 sit ups, 50 push ups, 3 laps of the work out room, quick break, 30 pull ups, practicing her stance, break, repeat (I have no idea of what normal training is I just put random shit in).

Videl was still avoiding her father's questions as to why she was training this hard, she still couldn't believe that Gohan won't train her.

'But it's best to let him work things out with lime before I interrogate err I mean ask him a few harmless questions'.

The next day.

When Gohan and lime met up they agreed the answer would come at the end of the day.

The day seemed to fly by for Gohan as there was no Sharpner the work was easy in fact the only thing bothering him was his answer for Lime he knew what it was just he was scared of the outcome.

In English he got a detention because he was so lost in his mind he couldn't even hear the teacher yelling in his ear.

In math the teacher thought Gohan was ignoring him purposefully so he told Gohan "If you better than the rest of us and don't think you have to listen, then why don't you teach the class Mr Son!"

Of course Gohan did it with ease but the point is he was distracted.

For Lime though, the day was horrible she was dreading Gohan's answer before, she was excited but now that it was just a few hours away she was scared.

Lime didn't know if she could deal with rejection as Gohan was the only boy she ever liked, the only one that ever treated her nicely.

At lunch Gohan didn't eat, something that scared lime and his other friends to no end.

In science the school was almost blown up because Gohan wasn't concentrating, luckily Gohan knew a formula that would counter the chemical reaction that was happening.

In Gym Gohan was so distracted people were punching him straight in the face but he didn't even blink, this went on so long everyone put up against him refused to fight because this boy freaked them out to much.

And by the end of the day even Videl was scared for Gohan thinking something was seriously wrong.

It took a lot to get Gohan's attention, like the school blowing up this fact made Lime, Erasa, Videl, and everyone scared of him all day.

But school was over and now was time for Lime to figure out Gohan's answer, she knew he would be at the tree he loved so much so she started her slow walk over there.

Videl went with lime to see what happened to them both.

Gohan managed to find a funny side to this. 'Mom's reaction would be hilarious for a second when she finds out, then I'm doomed so many pan hits to come'.

"All good things come to an end" muttered Gohan. This was it all those dreadful hours were all leading to this moment.

He saw Lime round the corner and sweat started to build up on his neck, he realised his answer changes everything between them.

But can he really do it, can he really go through with his answer. He kind of wished he was fighting Cell, Frieza, Cooler and all of his and his dad's enemies at once. 'it was a whole lot less nerve-racking.

As Lime walked up to him she asked "have you decided" Gohan just nodded his head.

"Okay then" Lime started again "son Gohan will you go out with me".

Gohan gulped 'now or never "Lime I just want you to know before I tell you, you are the most beautiful and caring person I know".

Lime just nodded dumbly, slightly more scared than before.

Videl was absolutely horrified of what his answer will be

"Now my answer is Lime I…."

Ohh I am a horrible person the truth is It's a tie I have a total of 3 all (most of these were in a pm only two people reviewed there answer which was weird to me but whatever at least you voted yes I'm looking at you other 500 and something people who read my story.

There was one guy who said gohan/lime/videl now im not saying it's a bad idea but I don't think it will work with this story. So the score is

Lime 3

Videl 3

I need a tiebreaker people.
