"So...we're getting Videl and leaving right now." Goten summaries.

Videl pops in the room, "Not exactly."

Gohan looked at her and said, "But you just said people were after you and me. Aren't we supposed to go back to Earth."

"Well, some counsilman heard me talking and he said I can't leave." Videl says.

"So we're staying?" Trunks clarifies.

"No," Videl said, "I'm staying. You are going back to Earth where it's safe."

"What?" Gohan asked.

"I'm sorry." Videl said, "I guess we're gonna have to cancel that date. I really wanted to go but..."

"No. I'm not leaving without you." Gohan said sternly.

"I'm not going to let you get killed because of me. I want you to go. I'll at least be with my green-eyed mirror." Videl tried to say with a straight face, but a single tear slid down her.

Goten's eyes widen, "I know how Videl can come! We just have to-"

Videl got on one knee and began to speak to the little chibi, "It's more complicated than that. Your little chibi mind is brilliant, but I don't think it'll work this time."

"But-"

"Take good care of Naomi. Tell her she was the best little sister a girl could have." Videl instructed.

"Okay."

"Goten, Trunks, can I talk to Gohan alone?"

The chibis nodded and left.

The two stared at each other for a minute.

"Are you gonna say something?" The two asked in unison.

Videl forces a smile and says, "Thank you, Gohan."

"For what?"

"You taught me how to fly, you saved me from Spopavich's evil wrath, you told me of my father's fakeness, you tutored me when I was failing chemistry, you threw me an eighteenth birthday party, you gave me the power to bring back my little sister, we discovered my twin and mother, we found out my real heritage, you came to a random planet with me, and you were nice to me, even when I was so...so bitter."

"You're welcome, but I should be thanking you."

"Why?" She asked.

"You taught me the ways of a normal teenager. You delt with my crazy, grandchilden-obbsesed mother, my seven foot green best friend, and the demon duo. You gave me the chance to come into pace again. I forgot what it what it was like to be here. My life is crazy, weird, strange, and I messed up yours, too, but you still stayed my best friend. And you also gave me my first one of these."

He lifted her chin up with his index finger and kissed her gently.

The were silent for about thirty seconds until Videl bursted out into tears.

"I...I'm gonna miss you." Videl said hugging him tightly and cried into his chest.

"I'm gonna miss you, too, Vi-chan."

Vi-chan? He really did care.

Goten frowned. Goten humphed. Goten kicked a wall. Goten broke a wall. Goten apologizes with a mutter.

"Man, Goten." Trunks began, "You're so angry and destructive. Is it because we have to leave?"

"Yes. And also Nii-chan and Videl won't listen to me and I have a good idea. Also, if we leave Videl, Nii-chan isn't gonna get married to her. I'm gonna miss Videl anf I think my plan would've worked."

"Well, why didn't you keep trying to tell Videl to listen to you, Goten?"

"Because...I...well..." Goten trails off

"Because you what!?" Trunks all but yells.

"'Cause Videl brought up Naomi..."

Trunks gasps, "You do have the hots for her!"

Goten waves his hands in front of his face defensively, "I...no! Didn't we agree that I might have the warms for her. I just have a little crush on her. No biggy."

"Goten likes Naomi! Goten likes Nao-"

"I'll tell Lizaria that you have the hots for her." Goten muses.

Trunks falls to his knees, "Oh! Please, please no!"

"Then I don't have the hots for Nao."

"So what's this brilliant plan of yours?" Trunks asks, desperatley trying to change the subject.

"Okay, were gonna be like outlaw cowboys..."

"Good morning, Liz-" Neroz began.

"Shut up, you blue jerk!" Lizaria spat.

"What?"

"What to you know about a Refridge?"

"..."

"Tell me what you know!"

"I...I'm sorry..."

"'I...I'm sorry..." Lizaria mocks, "You are trying to kill my twin sister and her boyfriendish thing person and what you say is you're sorry? Yeah, you are sorry."

"I can explain!" He says.

"Then why are you hestitating to explain your explaination."

"You've got such a witty charm about you, milady."

"Thank you." Lizaria says with a slight blush, "Wait, you will not change the subject."

"Refridge...he's my boss..."

"Go on."

"I was born into a life evil...my father, Zarbon, worked for Frieza, a cousin of Lord Refridge. Refridge's empire began only half a decade ago. When I was born, I was immediatley sent to work for Refridge. Nothing my parents or I could've done. I was sent to kill Gohan and sweep Videl off her feet and then kill her but, there was a bump in the road. A very large bump. More like a mountain."

"There are always so many mountains in the road. Now what was this mountain."

"Mountain Lizaria."

Lizaria frowns, "So now I'm a problem? And apperantly, I'm fat, too."

"No. I just fell for you."

"I've done it!" Yelled a voice. Lightning struck and thunder crackled.

"Woman! Are you tampering with the weather to create your own omonoius atmosphere for those darn stories again?! It was one o'clock and hot and sunny and in two seconds I was in a freaking hurricane."

"Aw, Veggiehead, you ruined my evil scientist moment."

"Well, I'm very not sorry. What is it you have created this time, woman, or do I even want to know?"

"Yes. I've created an edible Capsule."

"Why? So it's safe if swallowed?" Vegeta asked sarcastically.

"No it's for you Saiyans. Here bite this." Bulma said handing her oh-so-loving husband a capsule.

Vegeta popped the capsule into his mouth. His eyes widen in delight. Then he turns sickly green and runs to the bathroom.

Bulma looks towards the readers and says, "Results may vary." She then runs after her vomiting husband.

"Lizaria!" Trunks and Goten yell in unison.

"Huh?" Lizaria asked, "Wait, why are you dressed like cowboys?"

"We're outlaw cowboys but that's not the point." Trunks says.

"Then what is the point?

"What is the main difference between you and Videl?" Goten asks.

"Where we've been the last year? Our love lifes? Our sense of fashion? The three minutes I was born before she was?"

"Things a person could see."

"Didn't I say our fashion sense?"

"No!"

"Our eyes?"

"Yes!"

"Where are you going with this?"

Trunks looks left, then right, then at the green-eyed girl, "How'd you like to be the chosen one?"

Videl smiled. Just one last time.

"Gohan." She said, "I just wanted you to know Lizaria's coming with you. I have to leave right now to go to the other side of Larips. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too."

"Gohan, you are the best friend I've ever had." She admitted.

Gohan smiles, "And you're the best friend I've ever had."

She hugs him tightly and says, "I need you to forget me, okay?"

"What? Why would I forget you?"

"Life moves on, Gohan. Things come and go. When things are gone they seem to...to slip your mind. I want you to fall in love. There are prettier, nicer, smarter girls than me. You...you'll...I hope you find a person that deserves you..."

"I already have." He said as-a-matter-of-factly.

Videl eyebrows go up. Well, Gohan bounced back fast. So fast, the whiplash hurt.

"Hmm. And who is that?" She asked.

"You."

Videl's heart started beating quickly. 'He...she...I...*dreamy sigh*'

Videl sighs dreamily.

Gohan looks into Videl's eyes, "Your eyes are such a brilliant lazuline."

He tilts her head up just like he did earlier and-

"Hey, you guys I-" Lizaria began, "A-Am I...interrupting something? I can leave and..."

"No. You guys are leaving in five minutes. I'll come see you off." Videl forced a smiled.

"Okay, lemme just go to the bathroom." Lizaria says.

"Ugh, now I have to go, too." Videl frowned.

"Is that a twin thing?" Gohan asked.

They shook their heads. "It's a people thing."

It was gonna be a long, long time.

The last thing he saw of Videl was her heavily breathing, smiling, and waving good-bye.

Strangely, as soon as they could move, Lizaria had gone to the bathroom. Maybe space made her go to the bathroom. She then came out with her eyes

"Gohan," Lizaria began, "I'm not Lizaria."

"What?" He asked, "Then who are you?"

In response, she just opened her eyes. And then the wind was knocked out of her. Then she felt a kiss on her forehead.

"Videl! I never thought I'd see you again!"

Videl smiled. "Thank Goten. The idea I tried to dismiss earlier was the idea that kept me with you."

"I know we haven't gone on a first date yet, but, can you uh..."

"Are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend?"

He nodded bashfully.

"Yes."

"Really?"

"Didn't I just say yes."

"Do you wanna go on that first date right now?"

"What?"

"I mean I think Goten and Trunks could-"

"I am too tired to go on my first date. And I hate this outfit. I'm wearing a miniskirt. Ugh."

"Well, sweet dreams."

"Yeah. Sweet dreams."

Just ask Videl walked of you could hear a quiet 'Gohan and Videl, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.'

A/N: Slightly shorter, but I got it out.
