As much as I hate to do this to all of you, I've come to realize that I do not have the time to continue this. This fic is just way too large of a project for me to accomplish. I do plan on staying and working on one-shots or the like.

I am really sorry that this chapter is just as short as the other ones. I think something I should try my best to work on would be to make smaller fics, one or two chapters, but with much more writing.

Once again, I do not own Dragonball Z.

Capture of Mr. Satan

Epilogue – The Debt


It was a hot day in the middle of August, the infamous dog days of summer. The upcoming school year was approaching, ending vacation for many boys and girls. However, there was one young boy that wasn't on vacation, but rather the opposite.

Son Gohan was sitting at his desk in his room. He was catching up on all of his schoolwork that he had missed while being on his mission to Ryukis. Completing a problem, he dropped his pencil, leaned back in his chair, and stared up at his window.

The sun was beginning to set, the sky beginning to become multiple colors. It had been a full two weeks since their battle against Androsisis. Vegeta joined his family at Capsule Corps, Krillin returned to Kame House, as well as Piccolo going back to the Lookout, and lastly, Videl and her father had happily gone back to their home in Orange Star City.

Everyone was adjusting back to life including the half-sayian. Not even a moment after he stepped into the house, he was greeted with his mother and baby brother, eager to see his return. Then, before he knew it, life was back to normal and this is where he was. Doing schoolwork.

Looking back down at his papers, he began to do the next problem. Halfway through, though, he was interrupted by the sound of knocking at his door. He got up, and quickly answered it.

It was Videl. She was smiling, her bright blue eyes beaming at him. Before he knew it, he was ambushed by her in a hug. He blinked, not used to her being like this, on their travels she had shown a different nature, a more competitive nature, he shook it off though, before he hugging her back. A few seconds later, she let go and faced him, smiling.

Finally getting to get a look at her, he realized that something was different. She wasn't wearing her usual wardrobe, but was instead wearing her school uniform. A black vest with a white shirt underneath, a black pleaded skirt, with white long socks, and lastly black leather dress shoes. Her hair, instead of being in loose pigtails was down and neatly brushed. Something about all of this made him feel, well, something. He wasn't sure if it was his head, his stomach, or his heart.

After a few seconds of silence, Videl finally spoke. "Well, aren't you going to let me in your room?"

Gohan blinked again, before putting his hand behind his head, "Oh, I'm sorry Videl. You just surprised me, and I guess I'm curious as to why you're dressed like that." he finished, letting her into his room.

She sat on his bed. "Yeah, it's my uniform for school. My Dad said I should wear it to break it in, he always makes me a few days before school starts."

"Oh, that makes sense. Well...it looks nice.. I mean, you look nice. In it.", he finished, quieter than usual, trying to ignore the weird sensation in his stomach and heart. Was his face warming up? He had never felt anything like this.

Videl looked as though she barely heard him, staring outside of his window. "Yeah I guess. I don't really like it." she said looking down at the skirt, holding it in her hands. "I guess because it reminds me of school and I don't want to go.", she then looked up at him smiling and laughing a little.

He then smiled too. "Videl, not that I'm not happy, but why are you here? Did your dad bring you?". Since rescuing him, Mr. Satan really appreciated Gohan and his family.

She then hopped off of his bed, "Yeah, he's in the kitchen talking to your mom and playing with your little brother. We just wanted to come by and visit.", she began pacing around his room.

Gohan stood there, not knowing what to say. "Oh...okay.", he said, still quieter than usual. He inwardly wished this weird feeling would stop. His mind was working and working trying to articulate how he was feeling, only to be left with two conclusions. His heart felt as though it was fluttering and his stomach as though it was flipping. He tried his best to ignore those feelings and those thoughts, knowing that they weren't physically possible.

"Plus..." Videl said, drawing Gohan out of his trance. "You owe me Son Gohan." she said mid-step.

He blinked, not knowing what to say, or what she was talking about. His heart and stomach still doing funny things and his breath was caught in his throat. "Ww-hat?", he asked, his voice cracking.

She giggled. "You promised me that you'd teach me to fly, remember?", she asked, smiling.

"O-oh. Yeah, of course I can do that. When would you like to start?"

"Hmm...probably the next break I get from school. And whenever my dad would let me come visit. Would that be okay?", she asked, looking straight at him.

At this point, he didn't know what to do about the weird reactions his body was having. He didn't even know why it was reacting that way. "Y-yeah. That should be fine."

Videl then smiled hearing this and surprised Gohan by hugging him once more.


Originally I did have a sequel planned, but it's probably best to expect this to be left open-ended. I am really sorry once again if I disappointed anyone.
