Welcome to the 2015 Christmas Edition of A Whole New Enemy.

I do not own the show.

Videl was currently standing on a stool in the brand new house. They were both grown up by now, and hadn't had contact with their of their families for years. They were both twenty years old by now, and Videl was about as pregnant as she could get. They had just bought a new house to accommodate their growing family. Gohan was currently away at work - he ran a dojo that taught ki usage. It wasn't very popular, because of how exclusive it was. Gohan could only accept people he could use ki. Obviously, there weren't many humans like that, but the students he did have paid very well to have him teach them. He also did some research of a science-y purpose that he published under a weird pen name - something like The Great Saiyaman, which Videl did not understand - and he made money off of that as well.

Videl had her hair done up in a braid, and it swung down her back as she stood on the stool, using her ki to lift herself up slightly, putting the star on the top of their Christmas tree. It was the twenty-fourth, so Videl was just putting the finishing touches on their Christmas tree. She had wrapped all her presents for Gohan and put them under the tree. She had just cleaned the house top to bottom, making it shine even more. There were boxes everywhere because they hadn't quite finished unpacking yet. The Christmas dinner was in the oven, and Videl smiled to herself. It was perfect! Piccolo, Gohan's old mentor, would be coming for Christmas this year. Piccolo often helped out with Gohan's dojo, and made sure that none of the Z Fighters found them. Popo and Dende would also be coming for Christmas!

Gohan had even got a Christmas present for Piccolo and the others. Piccolo had several presents, actually - but they were a surprise! Videl stepped off the stool to survey the house and her work. The house was in the forest, a fifteen minute walk away from the city. It was made of stone on the outside, with dark wood around the windows and door. The door was wooden as well, and there were plenty of windows. On the inside, they had wooden floors and beige walls. There was little furniture, just the basics. The house had an upstairs to it, where the bedrooms were located. There were three rooms - one was empty, one was for Videl and Gohan, and the other was a nursery. Videl had found out that she was expecting twins, so the nursery had two of everything.

Videl looked over at the thick wooden door curiously as someone knocked on it. She stopped levitating herself, brushing pine needles off her apron. She had been cooking, so she had put an apron on to make sure that she'd be fine in case she spilled something. It was white and read "Kiss the Cook!" in green letters. Underneath, she had on a loose maternity shirt and maternity black yoga pants. She waddled over to the door and opened it, revealing Piccolo. The green skinned Namekian looked incredibly embarrassed, a huge red blush covering his cheeks. Videl wondered why until she spotted it - several large wrapped gift boxes tucked under both his arms. Behind him, a smaller green face popped out, looking at Videl curiously. Beside Piccolo was Mister Popo. All three had gifts.

"Hey Piccolo, hey Dende, hey Popo!" Videl greeted, smiling happily. "Come on in!" she stepped away and held the door open for them, and the three walked in an surveyed the house. This was their first time in Videl and Gohan's new home. "Just set those under the tree." Videl instructed. "We have presents for you too! And see those stockings? They're going to be filled tonight. The stocking with bells on it is Gohan's, the one with the butterfly is mine, the one with reindeer is Popo's, the one with candy canes is Dende's, and the one with kids in a snowball fight is Piccolo's. Gohan picked them all up yesterday! He was so excited. He'll be back soon, by the way." Videl said, sensing the unspoken question. "He's at the dojo."

"Wow, Videl, thank you." Dende said, walking over and bowing politely. "I'm so glad to be allowed to come for Christmas! Goku and Chi-Chi tried to get us to bring gifts for Gohan, but I refused, just like you asked." Dende said, smiling at Videl. She didn't want anything to do with Goku and Chi-Chi, so she had asked Dende to not allow them to bring any gifts or give them any news. "But nevermind that. I can sense the babies!" Dende clapped in excitement, smiling fondly at Videl's swollen abdomen. "They'll be born soon. Have you two decided on names yet?" Dende asked. He was wearing his usual Guardian robe, but was missing his staff. He also had some red and green tinsel wrapped around him, which Videl found hilarious.

"We have decided on names, actually." Videl said, winking. Dende raised an eyebrow as Popo traded confused looks with Piccolo. "But we won't tell you yet! It's a surprise. Gohan wanted to reveal it, actually. He'll do it tomorrow morning." Videl looked up as the door opened, revealing her exhausted-looking husband, a hand covering his face tiredly. "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Videl commented. "Oh, poor Gohan. You look exhausted." she walked over to his, touching his arm worriedly. He had really grown since they were fourteen, and was now probably a little taller than Goku. "Was the dojo that stressful today?" Videl asked, closing the door behind Gohan, who groaned.

"Yes." he complained. "One of the students got into a fistfight with one of his classmates, and I had to explain to the kid why you can't abuse your enhanced strength like that. Of course, he didn't listen, but still..." Gohan rubbed at his face, finally registering that Piccolo, Dende, and Popo were there. "Oh, hey guys!" he said cheerfully, rubbing the back of his head with his hand. "Sorry I'm late. Tabuski. He decided to take it upon himself to teach his classmates a lesson they probably will never forget." Gohan sighed again, smiling as Videl kissed him on the cheek. "Hi, Videl. I'm glad to be home ri- food." Gohan's head snapped up as he stared in the direction of the kitchen. "It smells so good..." he murmured, a trail of drool making it's way to the floor from his the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, not now!" Videl snapped, smacking Gohan's hand. The Saiyan leapt away from her, but then fell to his knees, trying to crawl past. Videl stared down at him with a thunderous look in her eyes. Gohan stopped in his tracks, looking up at her in poorly disguised fear. She started running while he started crawling to get away. Videl was yelling about how Gohan needed to control himself while Gohan was just groaning about food and eating something and how he was so hungry. Piccolo sighed and went to put his presents under the Christmas tree. Dende followed suit, glancing awkwardly at the couple. Popo just stayed where he was, unsure of where to go, until Piccolo snatched up his presents and put them under the tree.

THE NEXT MORNING, DECEMBER 25TH

Gohan smiled at everyone. They were all sitting on the floor, minus Gohan. His job was to hand out the presents, and he did so with gusto. Gohan rifled through the mountain of wrapped up packages to give on to Videl. She blinked at him, smiling. She took it gratefully and opened it. Videl, for some reason, hated the wrapping. She ripped it away like some sort of monster every time while Gohan carefully removed the tape. Videl brought the box up to her face, opening the cardboard lid. There, sparkling, was some homemade jewelry. And when I say homemade, I mean homemade. As a training exercise, Gohan had forced his students down into the mine to find diamonds and other jewels. They had come out with tons of them, asking what it was for. Gohan had replied it was for his wife - and they went back in to get more. Videl was now the proud owner of several dozen pairs of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, all made of the true shiny substance. With the package was a card that was signed from all the dojo students and Gohan himself. Videl was the only one who took pity and gave drinks and snacks to Gohan's students, so they adored her with a fierce passion.

Gohan then handed a present to Dende, who blinked curiously and looked down at it. Dende gently removed the wrapping paper and brought the large book out. The book was from Gohan and Videl. It was a large, detailed book on the different religions and traditions of the world. Dende was quite happy - he had always wanted to learn more about his planet. He hugged the book to his chest and thanked them. Gohan smiled and then handed Dende another smaller package, that was from Gohan only. Dende opened it, and laughed, as he brought forth a purple beanie hat for him to wear. Dende put it on immediately, grinning ear to ear because of his new hat.

Gohan picked up another present and handed it to Mister Popo. Mister Popo took it gratefully. Inside were three cookbooks, which Mister Popo accepted with tears in his eyes. The present was from Gohan and Videl. Another, huge box was handed to Mister Popo from Piccolo and Dende. Inside were tons and tons of kitchen equipment, everything from microwaves to ice cream machines. Mister Popo had never looked happier - until Gohan and Videl grinned and handed Popo and Dende another big present that had a hole in it. Dende peered in the hole while Mister Popo unwrapped it. It was a cat carrier, with cat supplies. They were both confused until Gohan used his Super Saiyan speed to run and grab a cardboard box that was open, and held a little black kitten inside. Popo and Dende fell in love immediately with the sweet kitten, who purred every time someone touched her. They decided to name her Kami, after the old Namekian. Piccolo merely sweatdropped, until Gohan handed him a present.

Piccolo looked down at his present, opening it with his sharp nails. He brought the thing out - it was a book. A leatherbound book, that looked old and very delicate. Piccolo opened it gingerly, as it had no cover to tell him what it was about. It was from Gohan - and Gohan knew he didn't really need an Earth book. Why give him one? Piccolo's eyes widened in awe as he turned the pages. Inside were pictures of Gohan and Piccolo, dating all the way back to when Gohan was four years old and training under Piccolo. There were some scenes that hadn't even had a picture.

"How?" Piccolo croaked, looking away from the scrapbook of memories.

"Dende searched through my memories and made a copy of what he saw." Gohan admitted. "It's from both of us."

Piccolo was shocked speechless, just staring down at the present. He couldn't help but notice that Gohan hadn't opened one of his own presents yet. He looked up as Gohan cleared his throat.

"Piccolo, I have one more Christmas present for you." he said, grinning widely. "As you know, we're having twins. Dende identified them as a girl and a boy. They're very strong, already." Gohan said. Piccolo's eyes narrowed onto Gohan's knuckles. They still bore the scars from the fight with Erai, those strange markings... Piccolo was snapped out of his reverie when Gohan continued speaking.

"So," Gohan grinned at Piccolo. "We're naming the boy after you." the room was silent as Gohan made this declaration. "The girl is going to be named Katrina, and the boy will be named Piccolo Junior. I think I'll just call him Junior, though." Gohan grinned.

"Congratulations, Piccolo!" Dende cried, hugging the shocked Namekian. Piccolo was unable to speak, tears gathering his eyes. He stood suddenly and hugged Gohan, words unable to show his gratitude. Gohan hugged him back as Piccolo almost started balling. Piccolo turned away, a lone tear of joy falling down his cheeks.

"You haven't opened any of your presents yet, Gohan." Videl reminded him with a smile.

"I have enough of one already." Gohan smiled down at her. "Two of them actually - Katrina and Junior. Heh."

Life was perfect.

Merry Christmas everyone!
