Little Brother's Help Chapter 2
As soon as the two of them landed, a chibi Goku same running out to them. "Hey Big Brother! We can fight now right!? Oh Wow! You brought Big Sister here!"
Both Gohan and Videl blushed at the chibi's comment.
"Goten, we've already been over this. Me and Videl are just good friends." Gohan tried to explain.
Goten looked at Gohan with a confused expression on his face. "But I thought you told me that you wished that you and Videl could be more than jmmphh…."
Gohan quickly latched his hand over Goten's mouth. "Be quiet Goten! You're not supposed to talk about that with Videl right here!" Gohan whispered in Goten's ear making sure Videl wouldn't hear him.
But unfortunately for Gohan, Videl didn't need to hear what Gohan whispered to Goten. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how Goten was going to finish his sentence. 'Oh my gosh! Gohan does like me!' Videl thought.
"So, do you want to fight with me Big Sis….ummm I mean Videl?" Goten asked when Gohan had finally taken his hand off the chibi's mouth making sure he wouldn't say anymore things to embarrass him.
Videl glanced up from Goten to Gohan to see he had turned his face away (he was blushing like crazy! :D) Videl giggled as she looked back to Goten."Nah," she said, "I think I'll just watch you two. After everything that has happened with Buu and seeing you fight at the tournament, I don't think I'd have much of a chance." She hated to admit it but it was true.
"Suit yourself" Goten said before turning to Gohan who finally had composed himself. "Come on Big Brother! I wanna see if I can beat you this time!"
"Ok, ok, we're going Goten, calm down" Gohan laughed. He turned to Videl. "Just follow us; we're going to the clearing where we usually train."
Videl nodded knowing where he meant. "Where you first taught me how to fly right?" she smiled.
"Exactly" Gohan said grinning back at her. He then turned to see Goten had already taken off. He could her Goten yell back "I'll beat you there!"
"No you won't" Gohan yelled as he jumped in the air and took off to catch up to Goten.
"Hey wait for me!" Videl yelled. 'Man he's always in a hurry' Videl laughed as she took off after them. Luckily from coming here so many times, she knew where to go. She finally landed at the clearing to see a very depressed Goten and a very happy Gohan.
"You cheated!" Goten yelled at hi big brother.
"How!?" Gohan laughed.
"I don't know but you did!" Goten replied.
Gohan rolled his eyes and then saw Videl land. "Oops! I'm sorry Videl! I shouldn't have left you like that." He said putting his hand behind his head and smiling.
"It's ok Gohan" she said smiling back at him. 'He's so cute when he does that' she thought to herself.
"Come on big brother! I wanna beat you!" Goten yelled at Gohan grabbing his attention.
"Ok" Gohan said as he got down into fighting stance.
"Here I come!" Goten yelled as he rushed at Gohan.
Videl had found a comfortable shady spot under a tree to watch them. She still couldn't believe how fast and strong they were, especially Goten even though he was so young and small. From what she could see, Goten was actually keeping up with Gohan!
When her eyes started hurting from trying to follow their movements, she looked around at her surroundings remembering the days Gohan taught her how to fly. She sighed and smiled. 'It was all worth it' she thought. She remembered her first encounter with Chi Chi. 'I sure didn't leave a good first impression on her' Videl laughed to herself.
She then remembered how she gave Gohan such a hard time with her lessons. She had to admit, she was a stubborn student. Even after she was able to levitate a bit, she still had that angry glare in her eyes….That is until he changed her….
Videl blushed remembering when Gohan told her hair would be better short. 'He told said it would just be better for fighting.' She thought, but she realized that night that that wasn't the only case as Goten's words rang through her head. : "But I thought you told me that you wished that you and Videl could be more than…..": "just friends" she said finishing the sentence herself.
Somehow during those lessons, Videl saw Gohan for who he truly was; kind, sweet gentle, and her mean and stubborn personality started to fade away. She finally realized then that she had formed her first crush……for Gohan.
"Hellooooo!? Videl!? Anyone home!?"
Videl was snapped out of her thoughts as she looked up to see little Goten waiving a hand in her face.
"Oh, sorry Goten." she said blushing. She looked around to see Gohan was no where to be found. "Where's Gohan?"
Goten frowned. "He beat me again! Now he's washing up by the lake real quick. But Videl, what were you thinking about!?" Goten said as the frown disappeared and now a look of excitement came over him as he sat down in front of her.
Videl blushed even more. Taking one more quick look to make sure Gohan wasn't anywhere she leaned in towards Goten and whispered, "About your big brother."
"Really!?" Goten shouted. Gohan heard this and quickly dried off and put his clothes on. 'What is Goten up to now?' he thought. Suddenly he froze. "Oh no!!!! I left him alone with Videl!! What if he tells her…..?!" Gohan then took off hoping he wouldn't be too late.
"Quiet!" Videl hushed Goten.
"I'm sorry; it's just that well…" Goten looked around too to make sure Gohan was not around, then leaned in and whispered "Don't tell him I told you, but he talks about you all the time, even in his sleep!"
"Really!? What kinds of things does he say?" Videl asked while doing cartwheels of joy on the inside.
"Like how he has different feelings for you than his other friends and that he can't get you out of his head." Goten said. He then leaned even closer. "I even heard him say :'I love you Videl': in his sleep!" Goten laughed.
Videl blushed at hearing that. 'He LOVES me!?' she thought
Suddenly they both heard a loud yell come out of no where. "GOTEN!!!!!"
"Uh oh" Goten said as pure fear spread across his face. "I gotta get out of here!" Gohan said as he got up. "Bye Big Sister." He grinned knowing that's what he meant to say. Videl said bye and Goten took off toward the Son house.
