Me no own.

Before Gohan could reach Videl he was grabbed by the collar once again. Owen pulled him back on stage to finish the set. Gohan was getting frustrated with the whole thing. All he wanted to do was talk to the pretty girl, and if was lucky he would get something out of it. He only hoped for the best outcome.

They finished their performance in the crowded room. Gohan noticed Sharpener hugging the trashcan Seymour gave him. Videl and her girlfriend, Erasea, sat away from a distance. Gohan sighed as he made his way over. All it takes is one puker to ruin the whole night. At least the trash can was there.

Videl saw Gohan and jumped off the stool. She met him halfway with a smile.

"I'm sorry," she said brushing back a loose hair. Yep, Gohan was not going to get anything tonight. "He's all talk but he can't handle the outcome."

"I've been there," Gohan said. In his mind he was mentally killing Sharpener. "I guess you need to take him home?"

"About that…" Videl looked at Gohan with her bright blue eyes. The lightening made her sky blue eyes fill with diamonds. Gohan could felt heart skip a beat. "Erasea drove us here, and Sharpener came here on his own. She had too much to drink and can't drive. I still don't have my license yet…"

Before Gohan could get in a word, Moth made his way over and shoved Gohan out of the way.

"I will gladly take Erasea home and drop off what's-his-name at his house," Moth said with pleading eyes. "I will make sure she texts you when she gets home, and worse case scenario I'll leave that guy in the car…or on someone's lawn."

Videl looked over at Erasea. She put her hands together and mouthed the word 'please' to her BFF. Videl sighed, and looked at Owen.

"Go ahead. I'll wal-"

"You are the best," Moth shouted, interrupting Videl. He gave her a hug, and quickly made his way over to Erasea. Gohan, who was on the ground because Moth pushed him, and Videl watched as Erasea threw the keys to Moth. Moth grabbed Sharpener by the arm and drug him out of the bar.

Gohan sat there as he watched his friend leave. He finally stood up and accepted the fact that he wasn't going to get lucky, and any chances with Videl were gone. Today was not his day. Gohan blamed it all on Vegeta.

Gohan looked around. Now that he thought about it, he didn't see Vegeta for the second half of his performance. It was probably for the better. Hopefully Vegeta will keep his mouth shut.

Knowing that the night was shot, Gohan turned around and headed back towards the back room. The other band mates were around, talking to friends and family. Gohan stopped and noticed Ziggy and Seymour talking to their parents. Their mom was smiling as she spoke, and the father patted Ziggy on the back. Seymour ruffed up Ziggy's hair and had a good laugh.

'It's not fair,' Gohan thought to himself. His thought was cut short as he felt someone crash into his back. He turned around and saw Videl clenching onto his jacket trying to find balance. Gohan quickly got her back to get feet and making sure she was able to stand. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Videl said, face red with embarrassment. "I tried to follow you and then I felt like someone pushed me."

Gohan looked over Videl's shoulders and saw Mai waving to him. Even though Mai almost killed Videl, maybe there was still a chance for him. Maybe he might get something out of it after all.

Wait…did Videl say she was trying to follow him?

"How about we head outside for some fresh air," Gohan offered. If she said yes, SCORE! If she said no…at least he got some fresh air. It's a win-win…sorta.

"Okay," Videl said.

SCORE!

Gohan grabbed Videl's hand and helped her walk through the crowd. She clenched onto his hand, doing her best to keep balance as she walked. Gohan couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle. This girl probably never wore heels in her life, and she probably doesn't wear clothes that she is wearing now. Poor girl. She's trying so hard to fit in.

They finally made it outside. Videl was able to stand once they got out, but that was all she was able to do. Gohan could tell she was not having it with these heels. He saw a park bench not too far away, and did what any prince charming would do; he swept her off her feet.

Videl, who was not used to dressing in sexy clothing, let alone wearing heels, turned as red as a beet. This is the first time meeting this guy, and here she is with her arms around his neck. She could smell his cologne on his jacket. Even after singing and playing guitar under hot lights he was still able to smell good.

Gohan placed her on the bench and began to take off her shoes.

"So why did you choose high heels," Gohan asked.

"It was Erasea's idea," Videl said with an eye roll. "I never wore high heels before, and she said it was like riding a bike."

"She didn't tell you it was like riding your bike for the first time huh?" Videl smiled. "I remember falling off of my bike a lot. My brother would hold the seat, made sure I had some sort of balance, and then trees used to jump in front of me. Bushes too, and the neighbor's dog. I once hit a car, dented it, and as the owner was yelling at me my brother decided to run away."

Gohan managed to get both shoes off and placed them next to Videl.

"You brother sounds a lot like Erasea," Videl said as Gohan sat down next to her. "We were both learning how to roller blade, and when she started to fall she would take me with her. There's been a lot of times where she would knock me over to stay on her feet."

"Did random trees attack you?"

"Ducks actually."

"Ducks?"

"We were at the park and I lost control and fell in the pond." Videl smiled from embarrassment. "Apparently the ducks thought I was going to hurt them, so they all decided to attack me. The geese started to get involved too."

Gohan laughed.

"What did Erasea do," Gohan asked.

"She went downhill and crashed into a fruit stand. We quit roller blading after that." Videl pulled out her cell phone. "I better text my dad and ask him if he can pick me up. Erasea was my ride."

"I can take you home," Gohan said calmly. He was mentally crossing his fingers. "I have a motorcycle, but it can fit two people. You just have to hold tight."

Videl looked at her phone. She smiled and put it back into her pocket.

"I've been on a bike before," she said. "It's probably better than calling my dad. He'll just embarrass me in front of everyone."

"Cool," Gohan said with a smile. In his head he was throwing a party. There were balloons, confetti, and a piece of cake. Soon that cake will be his. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a capsule. "There was no parking when I got here, so I had to capsize my baby."

Gohan pressed the button on the capsule. His motorcycle was black with silver cylinders. There was nothing too fancy decorated on it. Although it was shiny.

Gohan handed Videl an extra helmet. He watched as Videl put it on and adjusting the straps. Once on, Videl gave Gohan a thumbs up. She looked cute in her outfit. Heels in one hand, and the other hand was on her hip.

"Are you going to keep starring or are you going to put on your helmet," Videl asked with a smirk.

"I'm surprised. Most people do not know how to put on a helmet," Gohan said putting his helmet on. "Owen still pinches his fingers." Gohan sat on his motorcycle. He watched as Videl looked at her shoes, then threw them away in the trash can.

"I'm never going to wear them again, and I doubt Erasea will miss them."

Gohan smiled. Videl hopped on. Gohan started the motorcycle.

"So where do you live," Gohan yelled over the noise. There was a pause. "What? You don't want to go home?"

"I do," Videl yelled back. "I live on H Satan Ave."

"H Satan Ave? All the nice houses?"

"Yeah…"

"I drive by it once and a while. Just let me know which house is yours."

"I'm sure you'll figure it out."

Gohan looked back at Videl. She had her head down, not knowing he was looking at her. Gohan shrugged it off in his mind and took off on his bike.

Gohan turned down H Satan Ave, and slowed down. How in the world would he know where she lived? He knew the houses on that street were the fancy smancy houses, and some that weren't as fancy, but still bigger than his one bedroom apartment. Videl tugged on his shirt and pointed to a house on the left. Gohan pulled up to the gate, turned off his bike, and took off his helmet.

He could not believe what he was seeing. The bushes in front of the house were shaped like Hercule, you know…that afro guy who "defeated" Cell? Yeah, that guy. The water fountain was of Hercule on his tippy toe, while the other leg was out, with water coming out of his mouth. The lock on the front gate was Hercule's face, and statues that were lined up the driveway were all Hercule.

"Is your dad…" Gohan began to say noticing everything has been Herculelized. Videl looked at the ground. "A huge Hercule fan?" Videl looked at Gohan, shocked. Gohan looked at her and realized that maybe her father wasn't the Hercule fan. "You're a Hercule fan?"

"Hercule is my father," Videl said almost in a shout.

"Oh," Gohan said. His eyes went wide. "You're Hercule's daughter?"

"Yeah. Everyone knows that. I'm surprised you didn't."

"Your name rung a bell but I never thought…ah never mind." Gohan brushed his fingers through his hair. In his mind, the celebration he had in his head was dead. No more cake, no more balloons, and no more confetti. "I don't care if you're the daughter of Hercule. It's just…I don't know. I'm not a huge Hercule fan."

"You're not," Videl said as she titled her head. Gohan was looking over at everything Hercule.

"What he did was great cause I wouldn't want to be in his shoes."

Gohan's translation of that sentence: I'm glad Hercule said he killed Cell since I hate the fame and glory. (Gohan preferred to be in the crowd instead of on stage.)

Videl's translation of that sentence: I'm glad Hercule defeated Cell. He was very brave.

"You're the first guy I ever met that wasn't a fan of my father," Videl said with a smile. Gohan was just about ready to pop the balloons. "Most guys I've dated just wanted to met my dad, and hear stories about Cell."

"I'm sure your dad told you the whole thing," Gohan said leaning up against the brick fence. "Over and over and over."

Videl laughed.

"Yeah, and the only thing I asked him was about the other fighters." Videl stood next to Gohan, and leaned up on the wall as well. "There was a boy there, and he looked to be my age at the time." Gohan noticed her cheeks turning a little pink. "I thought he was the bravest of them all. He was my first crush, even though I didn't know his name. Every time I bring up the subject of the boy, my dad keeps telling me that the boy was very brave, and strong. I hope one day I can met him."

Gohan couldn't help but smile. Someone liked him, and has liked him for a long time. Videl was funny, kind, and being the daughter of Hercule she probably liked Martial Arts, or at least knew some of it. She knew how to stand on her own two feet, just as long as she wasn't in heels. Maybe the party in Gohan's head wasn't for getting some action…maybe the party was a celebration of having a steady girlfriend instead of one night stands, or friends with benefits.

He just had to ask.

"So have you seen any kids with spiky blonde hair," Gohan asked. Videl shook her head no.

"I've been keeping my eye for someone like him, but I don't mind having this crush on him."

"How about if I dye my hair blonde, stick it out in all angles, maybe I can be that kid wanting to fight Cell?"

Videl looked up at Gohan.

"Is this your way of asking me out?" Videl was smart as well. "Because you're going to need green contacts."

"I'll wear them for you, but they irritate the hell out of my eyes."

"I guess before we make it official, I want to know you a little better," Videl said as she opened the gate. Gohan wasn't sure if it was a good thing, or a bad, or a test. "Right now my feet hurt, and I'm tired. Are you working tomorrow?"

"I work at a place called TJ's music," Gohan said. "I'll be there in the afternoon until closing."

"So you play in a band and work in a music store?"

"Music is my life, and Toki. He's my bes-" Gohan froze. "I left him at the bar! Oh man he's going to kill me! He's going to scratch up my couch as I sleep! I hope a tuna fish and chicken milkshake will make him not mad at me!" Gohan grabbed his helmet and quickly fasten it on his head. "The store is near a pizza place and not too far away from the bar, and it's actually in walking distance. If you were exiting the bar and made a left," Gohan raised his hands in the air and made his fingers into an L shape, "I mean a right, go down two blocks, make a left and walk until you see a bank, walk past the bank and the store is around there somewhere. I really got to get my cat."

"Be careful," Videl said. Gohan walked over, grabbed Videl's hand, and kissed it gently.

"I hope to see you tomorrow my lady."

Gohan quickly got onto his bike and drove off, leaving Videl alone at the gate. She couldn't help but smile as she made her way up the driveway.
