When this GohanVidel Week had been announced, this was the first entry I wrote. Thought it would be longer but I got everything I wanted out of it. Hopefully that comes across.

Theme= Faith

Something was wrong with Gohan, Videl knew that much. For all the time she had known the boy, he had never once asked her if she wanted to hang out with him. It wasn't as if she would reject him, mind you, but the fact that he actually had the courage to come ask her in her bedroom was what really got to her.

"Umm, sure Gohan, we can hang," she answered the boy's question, receiving a half-hearted smile from him in return. Yep, there was definitely something wrong with the boy.

And it would've been a waste of breath to say that she was gonna find out what it was.

"So…where would you like to go?" the Son boy asked her.

"You want to go somewhere?" Videl said, surprised.

"Yeah. Any where would be fine."

"Umm, okay. How about we go flying?" she suggested.

The half smile returned. "That sounds great."

Moments later, the two teens were high about the clouds, drifting along as they looked around the sky in silence. That silence would have to end soon if the Satan girl was going to find out what was troubling the boy.

"So, mind telling me what's got you so upset?" Videl finally asked the boy.

Gohan sighed. "I'm that obvious, huh?"

"I'd say so. You can tell me if you want."

Gohan looked out into the cloudy expanse. "Yeah, I think I can."

Leaning back, Videl but her hands behind her head and floated on her back, turning her face to look at her friend. Had the two been on land somewhere, Videl would've looked as if she were lounging on the ground, just waiting for the story.

"As you know, Goten's birthday was a couple days ago," Gohan began.

"Yeah, I remember," Videl confirmed.

"And as everyone knew by the end of it, my dad hadn't shown up until it was over."

"Chichi wasn't very happy about that," the Satan girl said, shivering slightly. If there was one person on this planet she didn't want to anger, it was that woman.

"Yeah, and after he arrived, mom and I took him aside to hear his explanation. He said that he had been out getting a present for Goten and that he decided on fish," Gohan continued.

Videl cocked an eyebrow. "A fish? I didn't see any fish while I was there."

"That's cause dad ate it, along with the three others he had caught. Said he had gotten hungry and thought eating one fish wouldn't hurt. I was okay with that part since missing one fish isn't a big deal. It was when he went to the other ones that got to me."

"Then he had the nerve to give bones to Goten as the present. I'm happy that Goten was entertained by them but the fact that dad put his own stomach first is what's really upsetting me. You'd think after being away from his family, he'd have some priorities right. I trusted him to be able to do that much."

"So that was what those were," Videl murmured. She had remembered seeing Goten crawling over a weird looking jungle gym; weird being that it was white and polished. At least it made sense now that she knew what it actually was."

"So you came to me to vent?" the Satan girl asked, rolling onto her side.

"Well, not exactly. I stopped over at Capsule Corp. first," the Son boy admitted.

"To relieve your anger?"

"At first, yes. But then Vegeta said something that gave me déjà vu."

"What did he say?" the girl asked curiously.

"He said 'that we were the last of the saiyans' and 'that made us like brothers.' He said a similar thing to me when I was a kid; though he kneed me in the stomach afterward. He said 'we need to look out for one another at this time' and this time, I think he meant it."

Videl looked at the boy with wide eyes. That was perhaps the nicest thing she had ever heard from that man and he wasn't exactly the cuddliest guy around. "Did he say anything else?"

"To do what made me feel happy. I thought about it for awhile and came to you."

A warm, fuzzy feeling filled Videl. "I make you happy huh? I'm flattered."

Gohan looked at her and for the first time that day, he gave her his full smile. "Yeah. I tried thinking of something to do with you on the way over but I couldn't quite figure it out."

This caused the Satan girl to smile. "I'm glad you feel that way. Hopefully I helped you with your problem."

"It felt good to talk about it," the Son boy admitted.

"The way I see it, you just need to learn when to put your trust in people," Videl said. "There are some people you can put your faith in and know they won't harm you; then there are those that you just shouldn't put it in."

"And I put faith in the wrong person, huh?" Gohan summed up.

"Not quite. I'd put faith in your dad when it comes to saving the world; but when it comes to everyday things, he's not the guy I'd count on." She then quickly added "No offense."

"None taken," Gohan replied. "That puts a few things in perspective, you know?"

"Glad I could help."
