~And We're Outta Here Saga~ Chapter 2
*Flashback*
"Lizzy! Lizzy! Lizzy!" A young five-year-old with blue eyes chants.
"Vidy! Vidy! Vidy!" Another young five-year old, her identical twin actually, with green eyes chants right back.
"I said don't call me Vidy!" the blue-eyed girl yells sticking her tongue out at her sister.
"And I said don't call me Lizzy but I get called Lizzy!" The green-eyed girl screamed as she put her hands on her hips.
Astella walk up to her husband and asks, "Are they arguing again?"
Hercule nods, "Yes indeed Tell, Videl is calling Lizaria (Liz-are-ee-uh) Lizzy and Lizaria is calling Videl Vidy.
"Oy vey." Astella sighs.
"Lizzy!"
"Vidy!"
"Lizzy!"
"Vidy!"
"Lizzy!"
"Vidy!"
"Lizzy!"
"Vidy!"
"Liddy!"
"Vizy!"
The girls glare at each other for a few seconds more and then they simultaneously burst into laughter.
"Can I call you Liddy?" Videl asks.
"Sold!"
"Mirror Mirror who looks like me, let's get Mom and Dad to play Monopoly!" Lizaria suggests.
"Mirror Mirror who's my twin, I think that Mommy will win!"
*End Flashback*

Everyone stands around Videl continuing to attempt to understand what she meant…
I need a green bean from the kitty cat and the fat, sarcastic guy.
"Maybe what she said isn't supposed to make sense…" Chi-Chi offers, "She could've just been spouting nonsense."
"No," Gohan objects, "Videl gets knocked out a lot doing police work, mainly because of knockout gas… Why does Satan City have a knockout gas store?"
"What person with good intentions has knockout gas?" Bulma asks, "Not counting me of course."
"Anyways," Gohan continues, "What she says makes no sense but, it's not nonsense."
"That makes so much sense," Carilia says sarcastically, "Like taking a look at a gander."
"But you can't take a look a gander. A gander is a look. You can't take a look at look and—Oh, sarcasm."
Goten pipes in, "I know a fat sarcastic guy with a kitty cat."
"Who is it?" Goku asks.
Goten face scrunches up, "Yasa…yadda…yabba…"
"Yabba Dabba Doo?" Trunks offers.
"Fred Flintstone?!" Goku guessed.
"It started with Yaj…I think…Yajackson?
"Do you mean Yajarobe?" Bulma inquires.
Gohan snaps his fingers, "She must've meant a Senzu bean!"
And of course Mr. Satan is standing over there, more confused than Goten about love.
"Did you say a Senzu bean? What's a Senzu bean? And why does my little sweet pea need one?" He asks.
"It's the green thing I gave her at the tournament and then she felt better." Gohan answered.
"Oh," he answers, enlightened, "Well why are ya standing here? Go get my sweet pea that green bean!"
Carilia sniggers and everybody turns their heads to her.
"What? Go get my sweet pea a green bean. You guys don't see the irony?"
Everybody just shakes their heads.
"Pea? Bean? Nothing?"
They just continue shaking their heads.
"I'll get the Senzu be—" Goku begins.
"No," Gohan objects, "I'll get the beans because last time you got the beans, you ate meal before you came back! I'll be back…without a meal first."
"Wait," Hercule stops, "Take her with you. I want her to feel better ASAP and if you take her, she can eat the bean as soon as you two get there."
"Y-You want me to carry her?" He stuttered. He already knew he was blushing a little. Darn hormones.
"Ooh! Ooh! Gohan I have an idea!"
"Huh?"
"YO NIMBUS!" Goten shouts.
Everybody, except Hercule and Carilia, had the same thought:
Oh, no, Goten! We don't know if she can ride Nimbus!
"Go over to the lady on the ground."Goten instructs and the cloud does so.
Gohan picks her up, closes his eyes tightly and sits her gently on the cloud. Gohan slowly opens his eyes and sees that she has not fallen through the cloud. Everyone one, excluding Mr. Satan and Carilia, lets out a small sigh of relief.
"Nimbus, follow me," Gohan directs, "And don't drop her. Let's go."
*Flashback*
"Hi, Mom." 11-year-old twins Lizaria and Videl say in unison.
"Lizzy. Vidy."
"Mom, when do you find out whether you're having a boy or a girl?" Lizaria asked.
"I found out today while you were at school."
The girls eyes widen in excitement, "What?"
"You want to know the sex of your baby sister?"
"Is she a boy or a girl?" Videl asks eagerly.
"I think you already know."
"We don't know the gender of our baby sister!" Videl replies.
"Vizy, Mom said baby sister."
Videl's face scrunches up for a second before realization dawns on her, "Oh."
"What's her name?" Lizaria asks.
Astella puts a finger to her lip, "Haven't decided yet."
"Naomi?" Videl suggests.
"I like that name!" Lizaria adds.
"Naomi Satan, huh? That sounds…nice. If your father says okay, we'll name her Naomi Azurea Satan!"
"Yay!" The girls cheer.
"Mirror Mirror who looks just like me," the girls begin in unison, "We're gonna have a sister named Naomi!"
*End Flashback*
"Yajackson, I do believe we have a visitor." Korin says.
"It's Yajarobe. And it's two visitors. Gohan and his girlfriend."
"I'm an old cat. Cut me some slack. And some of that cake in the back."
Gohan waves hello and Korin smiles.
"You need another Senzu bean for your girlfriend? I'll give you all five." Yajarobe asks.
"Yeah, Goten and Trunks crashed into her and she got knocked out so—" It took Gohan a minute to register the word girlfriend and so obviously he replies with a blush, "She-She-She's not my girlfriend!"
"Whatever," Yajarobe sighs, tossing him a bag of Senzu beans, "You spend every waking moment with that girl except when you actually waking up, and sleeping, and going to the bathroom."
"I get it." Gohan states pulling a bean out of the sack. He sticks it in her mouth and she slowly begins to chew.
Her azure eyes flutter open and Gohan smiles at her.
"Gohan?" She asked, "Why are we at the lookout? And why I am on a cloud?"
"Do you remember Goten and Trunks hi-"
"Yeah, that's the last thing I remember."
"You said, and I quote, 'I need a green bean from the kitty cat and the fat, sarcastic guy.'"
"Hey! I'm not fat!" Yajarobe objects, "You could come visit us sometimes, ya know. We get bored up here."
"I'll have Goten tell you guys about his day tomorrow." Gohan smiles. He turns to Videl, "You wanna ride Nimbus back?"
"You mean the cloud? Sure." She says.
"Come on," he says. Videl stares in awe. She had always wanted to ride on a cloud. That dream, however, was crushed when she found out clouds were just made of water.
"This so cool! It's a different cool from flying because well, you're on a cloud! How many people can say that—" She looks down at a near empty field and her entire facial expressions change, "The-The car."
"Oh yeah! I saw this one day while I was flying around. To my understanding, there was a wreck and there were a mother and two children. They all died but, the mom's body hadn't been found at the time. I'm sure they found it though."
"They never did find her body. I know all about the case. I knew those three really well."
"Oh, Videl I'm—"
"It's okay." She says with an unnoticeable tear streaming down her cheek, "Let's go back to the party. I want that German chocolate cake."
***Spiral***
"Videl! Videl! We are so sorry!" Goten says, "But I blame Trunks!"
"Be quiet," Trunks hisses and then he begins to talk to Videl, "You see we tried to get you a last minute birthday gift. We came from opposite directions and we…thud."
"Oh, chibis," She sighed, "I didn't expect a gift from you guys."
"Phew," the chibis sigh in unison, "I lost mine when…thud."
The cake…what an interesting story it was. Long story short, somehow Yamcha got trapped in the cake and he now has very short hair.
"How did you…the cake…what?" Videl tries to piece together.
"One minute, I was eating ice cream. Then I heard yodeling, and then, I was in the cake. I'll help bake you another one, Videl."
"It's okay, I'll just, eat around it." She replies, "Gohan? When do we open presents?"
"Now, if you want." He answered.
"Oh, cool."
Videl tore the wrapping paper off the first gift. It was a watch. Her watch tells time, and tells her when to kick some criminal butt. Why does she need another one?
"Oh, that's my gift." Bulma chimes walking over to Videl, "It's a Glove-o-matic 1.0."
"Why 1.0?" Trunks asked.
"It's has 1.0 because everything sounds better with a 1.0 behind it."
"Good point." Trunks agrees.
"What does it do?" Videl asked.
"As the name implies, it's a glove machine. Go ahead and put it on your wrist." She instructs and Videl does so.
"Good. Now turn the little dial on the right and put your hands together." She continues. At the moment, she was silently praying that this invention would not kill her. She looked at her hands and she was wearing a pair of blue gloves.
"It works like Bluetooth until you're gloves are gone: Obviously though there's more though. We've got mittens, rubber glove, elegant glove, fingerless gloves, boxing gloves, and of course Mickey Mouse gloves."
"Thank you Bulma."
"Open mine next." Chi-Chi says handing Videl a box. She smiled when she opened it and saw what was inside.
All five Saiyans gasp and say frantically, "The new Mondo Super Duper Cooper Frying Pan of Immeasurable Pain…of Doom! That's not supposed to come out 'til like…October 25th!"
"Awesome…" Videl whispers in…well…awe.
"Use it wisely…" Chi-Chi heeds.
"Hey Carilia," Videl shouts, "What did you get me?"
"I paid 25% on what Hercule bought you." Carilia answers, "And here he is now."
Hercule drives up in the newest model of a convertible Capsule Car.
"Daddy? You got me…?" She trailed off in surprise.
"I know you can fly and all, but I don't think nothing can compare to flying down the open road." Hercule says, "But don't you dare go speeding and crash like…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have…"
Videl walks up and hugs him. "Thank you for the car, daddy."
"You're welcome sweet pea."
"Thank you, too, Carilia."
"I'd say it was nothing, but was half of my salary for 3 months." She responded. Carilia was never one to sugar coat things.
"Yamcha, Goku, Vegeta, did you guys get me anything?"
"I didn't know it was your birthday." Yamcha admits, "I came with the cake though."
"I had to get the ingredients for your cake." Goku tells, "I went all the way to Germany for fresh German chocolate and man Germans are weird! (A/N: No offense to Germans!) The kept on shouting the number 'nine' at me so I shouted 'ten' right back at them."
Gohan slaps his forehead, "Dad, the Germans weren't shouting the number nine at you. N-E-I-N nein means no!"
"Oh…"
Videl asks again, "Vegeta, did you get me a present?"
"No." Was his blank, expressionless reply.
"Well that was nice." Videl muttered.
"I showed up didn't I?" Vegeta snaps back.
"Of your own free will?"
"…"
"I thought so."
Everyone laughed.
*Flashback*
Hercule! Hercule! Hercule!" Astella shouts.
"Astella, I am so sorry I couldn't make it to the ultrasound today. They wouldn't let me off work and-"
"Sweetie, it's okay. There was lots of screaming anyways."
"So what are we having?" He asks.
"A girl…and another girl…" She tells.
"We're having t-t-twins?" Hercule asks.
"Mhm. I name one, you name the other."
Hercule picks up his wife and spins her in a circle, "I don't think I could be any happier at this moment than I honestly am."
"Me neither, Hercule," She sighs happily, "Me neither."
*End Flashback*
"Videl," Hercule says, "I'm sorry but do you mind if I go ahead and go to…"
"Go ahead dad. I'm gonna stay awhile longer. You can take the jet copter."
"Okay, Videl. Bye."
"Bye daddy."
Gohan puts a hand on her shoulder, "Where's he going?"
"Nowhere." She answers.
"Videl, I know nowhere is somewhere."
She looks up at him like he's the craziest person ever, "What ganders have you been looking at?"
"You can't…you and Carilia share puns, don't you?"
"Yes. Over sparkling water and very large blueberry muffins."
"More sarcasm?" Gohan inquires.
"That's the truth." Videl says, "We do it every third Tuesday. We share quotes on Sundays."
"Yeah," Carilia chimes in, "Where do you think the quote from the begging of the chapter came from?"
"K-Rino?" Yamcha inserts, "I mean it says – K-Rino. Who else?
"What are you talking about?" The raven-haired duo asks in unison.
Yamcha sighs, "We're side characters, so we know what's gonna happen in the story."
"Story?" They ask again.
"They don't know?" Yamcha asks in a whisper.
"Guess not." Carilia answered, "And I'm not a side character."
"Do you show up in a lot of chapters?"
"I…"
"Side character…" He said as he walked away.
***Spiral***
Two and a half hours containing dares, a staring contest that Goku won (Videl had discovered that no matter how nice he was, he could be really scary and intimidating when he wanted to be,) and a Mondo Super Duper Cooper Frying Pan of Immeasurable Pain…of Doom testing and using later…
"I don't think I thank you for the party yet, Gohan so… Thank you for throwing me a birthday party, it was the best birthday I'd had in a really long time."
"It was nothing, Videl." He said.
"You're so sweet." She said. She stood on her tip-toes and kisses him on the cheek. He blushes deeply. Darn hormones.
"I have to go. Bye Gohan." And with that, she flew off and she let her concealed blush show itself but not for long. She was so upset right now because she missed her little sister singing to her every morning.
She missed her mother smiling giving her wise yet confusing quotes at dinner.
Most of all…she missed her other half…
She missed her green eyed mirror.
***Spiral***
Gohan flew off after everyone had left. He needed to 'let out some…emotion.'
"She kissed me! She kissed me! Videl finally kissed me!" He chanted flying around in a circle. Sure it was only on the cheek, but our favorite demi-Saiyan was over the moon.
He stops as soon he sensed her energy only about half a mile away from him. Her energy didn't feel yellow. It felt sea green. 'Oh, no.'
***Spiral***
Tears ran down her face as she sat in back of the old car with her head on her knees. Videl never cried. She definitely never sat like that.
She didn't give a poop.
No one knew she did this. Not even her dad. She just missed them too much to care about anything.
Naomi. She missed Naomi. She would sing, she would dance, and she had a mean left hook, just like her sister.
Videl heard a tap on the window.
"Go away! I've got a frying pan and it hurts. A lot."
"It's Gohan." She didn't respond.
Gohan opened the door but he accidently tore it off the car.
"Classic Gohan." She mumbled, "Not knowing his own limitless strength." She didn't turn to him, "What do you want, Gohan?"
He could hear the anger in her voice but he could hear the slightest bit off sadness.
"Answer me. Why are you here? If it's not urgent, go away!"
"It is urgent."
"Well what?"
"You tell me." He says.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She grumbles.
"You're sitting in the back of an old rusty car, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night crying. Talk to me."
"…"
He scoots over and puts his arms around her.
"Go aw…" She trails off. She had to admit. She loved being in his arms. Darn hormones.
"Videl. Talk to me."
"…No…" She replied.
"You'll feel better if you-"
"Fine!" She snapped, "I hate bacon!"
"You're crying in the back of a car because you hate bacon?" Gohan asked, "I haven't heard that one."
"Shut up! It's why I hate bacon."
"Oh."
"Gohan, have you ever looked at the back of your chair at school?"
"Yeah, it said L.S…what does it-"
"Have you seen the back of my chair and Erasa's?
"Yeah yours said V.S. and hers said E.P."
"Videl Satan and Erasa Penski." (A/N: Look, she has no last name that I know of so…Penski).
"I knew that."
"L.S. stands for Lizaria Satan. I had an identical twin. I had a little sister, too; Naomi. And of course, a mom. They all died in this car wreck. The one we talked about earlier.
"I hate bacon because I used to love it and dad and I used to make bacon bombs but mom told us to stop eating those because, 'They will clog you're arteries faster than stuffing an alto saxophone down our throat.'"
"Why alto saxophone?" Gohan interrupted.
"Lizaria and I were in band. I played the saxophone she played the trumpet. They called us the, 'Jazz Twins'.
"Anyways, at least once a month, we'd get Mom and Lizzy to go shopping so we could have a bacon bomb. Naomi would go with mom too.
"Once Naomi wanted to stay home so bad to see what me and daddy did when they went shopping. I forced Naomi into the car. I feel like I killed her. She could've stayed. She could've been alive and bouncy. They could've all-"
"You didn't know, Videl. You didn't kill her or any of them. You couldn't have prevented it."
"They died a year from tomorrow."
Gohan's eyes widen, "That's…great!"
"YOU INSENSITIVE LITTLE JERK! HOW-"
"VIDEL!" He screamed, "Have I given you my gift?!"
"I- no."
"I got you the dragonballs. We can bring them back if we do it tonight."
"Then why are you sitting here? Go get me those dragonballs!"
***Spiral***
"Oh, great Shenron, we summon thee." Videl calls.
"WHAT IS YOUR FIRST WISH?" The dragon booms.
"We wish to bring Astella Satan, Lizaria Satan, Naomi Satan back to life!"
"THAT WISH CANNOT BE FULLY GRANTED!"
"Why not?" She asks loudly.
"THE ONES YOU CALL ASTELLA SATAN AND LIZARIA ARE NOT DEAD! I CAN BRING BACK THE ONE YOU CALL NAOMI!"
"Yes! Please!"
The dragons eyes glow red, "YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED! STATE YOUR SECOND WISH!"
"Where is she?"
"YOU MAY USE YOU'RE SECOND WISH TO BRING HER TO YOU!"
"Do it!" Videl shouts.
His eyes glow red and the raven haired duo hears a girlish scream. Gohan quickly appears and grabs her by her left wrist.
"Thank you Mr. Man." She says as Gohan puts her down.
"You're welcome."
"I WILL RETURN TO MY SLUMBER!"
Videl gasps, "I forgot to bring Mom and Lizzy back to me…"
"It's okay," Gohan soothes. "We can bring them to us in a year."
"You're too sweet for your own good."
"Anything for you Vid-" She was kissing him. It took him a second to realize it but then he kissed her back.
"Ew! No kissy kissy!" Naomi shouts, "Not in front of me!"
The teens break apart with bright blushes on both of their faces.
"Naomi?!" Videl asks loudly.
"Vidy!" Naomi shouts running up to her sister.
They squeeze each other tightly, "I missed you so much Naomi!"
"I missed you, too, Vi." She says and then yawned, "Being not alive makes you very sleepy."
"Let's go home. And don't tell daddy-"
"You were doing kissy kissy stuff with him?" Naomi guessed.
"…yeah." Just as she looks over a Gohan, her blush deepened, "I…I'll see you later."
"Wow! My sister can fly!" Naomi yells.
As Videl flies of she feels a twitch on her lower back.
"Ow."
