Well just like I promised, the next chapter in a Saiyan Story, hope you enjoy.

Reunion

"Ow," Gohan cried as the juices from the sausage and bacon on the skillet leapt off the pan to attack him. That's when he remembered the cardinal rule about cooking, 'Never fry bacon (or sausage) naked'. Well technically he was only half naked. The lower half of his gi was tied a little above his hip bones. Videl hadn't kept her house stocked with food, there was no need. Being human meant meager meal portions, well meager compared to a saiyan that is. After his morning reunion with Videl she went back to sleep for a while and he decided since he hadn't had a meal in quite some time, that that was what he was going to do. After looking through her cupboards and refrigerator, Gohan realized that he would need to go into town to buy what it would take to fill his stomach.

The cashier inquired about the large amount of food, to which Gohan simply exclaimed, "It's been a long time since I have had a really good meal." After Gohan got home, Videl awoke and headed for the shower. Gohan proceeded to cook breakfast, making hers first, then his own. His mom raised him to be a gentleman first and his father raised him to be a saiyan second. Videl exited the bathroom, with her body wrapped in one towel and her hair in another. Gohan looked behind to see her walking over to him. He couldn't help but gawk at her curves. He knew Videl did not consider herself to be the prettiest girl, but when Gohan looked at her that was what he saw, the prettiest girl on the planet, scratch that, the Universe. Videl wrapped her arms around Gohan, and laid her head against his back, listening to his heartbeat.

"As much as I enjoy your arms around me, your food is getting cold," Gohan said smiling even though she couldn't see it.

"Oh,well," Gohan turned around and kissed her on the forehead. She reciprocated by bringing down his head to kiss him tenderly on the lips. Videl let his face go but Gohan just hung there. He watched as Videl walked to her room, closed the door, and appeared a moment later wearing a pair of grey sweatpants and a loose fitting t-shirt. She sat down and started to eat. In a few moments, she had eaten what Gohan thought to be more than enough for her. As a matter of fact, he was expecting to get her leftovers. Imagine his surprise, when Videl came up to the stove, and dished up a few more eggs, some bacon, and sausage, and placed some more bread into the toaster.

"You feeling alright Videl, I don't remember you eating this much a few years ago," Gohan asked, his eyebrow raised slightly giving her a curious look.

"I feel fine Gohan, just a little hungrier than usual. I haven't been eating much since…" Videl stopped before mentioning Gohan's absence. Gohan, who was listening to her talk while he placed the food onto the table, looked at her when she stopped mid sentence and saw tears starting to form in her eyes. When Videl blinked the tears started to fall down her soft cheeks as more began to form in her eyes. Gohan went to her, picked her up, and sat back down in her chair holding her tight. She had her arms around his neck, as well as her head against it.

"I'm sorry Gohan, I just can't believe your back," Videl said shakily as more tears headed down her face. Gohan began to run his hands thorough her hair. Man I missed the smell of her hair, he thought to himself.

"Videl, don't be sorry. I'm the one who should be sorry, I put you through this. Not a second went by that I didn't think about you. I can't imagine the pain you felt, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Videl raised her head up and looked at Gohan, smiled and kissed him gently.

"I love you Gohan."

"I love you too Videl." Videl smiled and laughed a little thinking herself silly. As if he could read her mind, Gohan said "You're not. Videl I wanted nothing more than to get back here as soon as possible, and when I did, and I saw the look on your face before you passed out, I knew you still loved me even though I broke my promise. Videl I swear, I will never leave you ever again. I don't think I could last another minute without you." Videl wrapped her arms around Gohan and held him tightly. For a few moments they held each other and nothing else mattered in the world.



Videl pulled away and wiped the tears from her face and smiled. When Videl smiled her eyes lit up like the sun. Gohan remembered looking into those eyes when he first met her and was never certain if he had spent a minute or an hour gazing into those light blue orbs.

"You alright," Gohan asked.

"Yeah, but I'm really hungry."

"You sure you're not part saiyan," Gohan asked with a smirk. Videl laughed again, another thing Gohan had missed.

Piccolo knew what he had to do, he had to get everyone up to the Lookout and let them know what has happened. Deciding to start with Goku, Piccolo headed there directly from the Lookout. He reached the quaint little home and knocked on the door.

"Just a minute,' came ChiChi's voice. ChiChi came to the door a minute after saying this. The door creaked open and ChiChi saw Piccolo standing there arms crossed, a very serious look on his face.

"What are you doing here," ChiChi said surprised.

"It's nice to see you too ChiChi," Piccolo said, his face not changing in the least. "I need to speak to Goku." His voice was hard and serious. Add that to the look of fear on his face, and ChiChi knew something was wrong.

"H-he's out back playing with Goten." Piccolo nodded and began to float up and over the house. Landing in the back yard, Goku felt him instantly and turned around to face him as he landed.

"Hey Piccolo, haven't seen you in a while, what's new, how is Videl doing? Goku smiling looked at his old nemesis and began to digest the look he had on his face. It was one of fear and worry.

"Goku we have a problem, I need you to get everyone you can to meet up at the lookout," Piccolo explained not changing his expression. "I'll stop at Capsule Corp. on my way back to the lookout and let Bulma and Vegeta know. If you could use that instant transmission technique of yours to get to everyone else that would be appreciated." The worry in Piccolo's face was hidden well, but Goku could still see it.

"I understand Piccolo," Goku said. The happiness in his face was gone, the serious Goku that was rarely seen was now present. "Goten go get your mother and head for the lookout, I'll meet you up there soon."

"Alright dad," Goten said as he headed for the house.

"See you soon Piccolo." Piccolo nodded as Goku placed his index and middle finger and disappeared.

"Ugh, whew. Man this acting thing is tough, Gohan is going to owe me," Piccolo said as he exhaled hard. He, Dende and Mr. Popo had spent the night planning how to get everyone up to the Lookout so Gohan wouldn't have to go around and let everyone know he was back. What Piccolo had planned, while simple, was far more interesting of a Reunion.

Piccolo took to the sky again heading for Capsule Corp. He wanted to be sure Bulma would make it seeing as she was Gohan's Godmother. Bulma loved Gohan as her own, and would have done anything for him had the need ever arised. Piccolo landed just outside of Capsule Corp. and returned the worrisome scowl to his face.

"Final Flash," Vegeta bellowed in the direction of his son. Trunks now on the defensive put his arms in front of his now scrunched up face. He had let his guard down for a mere second and that was all the Saiyan Prince needed to send an ending blow at his son. As the blast neared, Trunks knew he would have to transform in order to withstand the blast. Reaching inside for his power, Trunks' hair began to 

defy gravity as it lifted up and changed color to the tradition gold of the Super Saiyan. With his eyes turning turquoise and his aura blazing, Trunks was able to withstand the shock of his dad's most devastating attack.

"Ha ha," Trunks laughed, happy he had shook off the attack.

"That was nothing my boy," Vegeta said. Trunks knew this to be true, his dad had not even transformed since they had started their training session a few hours ago. "Remember never let your guard down son, your adversaries will use that against you."

"Well how 'bout this…HAAAAAA," Trunks launched a ki blast at his father causing him to slid back a bit as he blocked it. Then without warning Trunks flew in from the side and landed a punch to the face of his father sending him flying back against the wall of the GR.

"Not bad," Vegeta said getting up. "Let's see if you can do that again, HAAAAAAAA," Vegeta scrunched down and charged up into his Super Saiyan form as well.

"Bring it on dad," Trunks said with a grin. Vegeta smiled at his son, he would make a warrior out of him yet.

"Huh," Vegeta sensed a power approaching his domicile. Trunks took his dads momentary loss of concentration to his advantage. He launched himself at his dad, fist first. Vegeta was still too fast even though he was distracted. He threw his hand up catching his son's fist in it. He smirked at his son.

"You learn quick, but we must delay for a moment, we have a visitor. " Trunks opened up his senses, and realized his father was right.

DBSS

Piccolo approached the door, and just before he could knock it opened up to reveal and agitated Vegeta.

"What do you want Namek? Oh let me guess you are soliciting Girl Scout cookies."

"Keep dreaming Vegeta. I'm here to speak to you and Bulma," Piccolo said keeping his scowl strong.

"Trunks get your mother," Vegeta said to his son.

"I'm here what's up," Bulma said coming out of the hallway that led to the kitchen. Bulla was in her arms, with a bottle in her mouth. She noticed that Piccolo didn't look himself which meant something was going on. "Is there something wrong Piccolo you look a little worried?"

"We are having everyone meet at the lookout to explain what is going on, can I count you guys in?"

"Sure thing Piccolo," Bulma said knowing that whatever was going on she wanted in on it. "We'll leave now."

"Don't put words in my mouth woman, Trunks and I are busy training," Vegeta shot back, a look of anger on his face. Bulma knew he was not the man she met years ago, but he had to keep his mask on. He felt that he had to appear rough and uncaring. But she knew that he would die for her as well as his son…again.

"Fine then don't come, but this is most likely important so I am going," Bulma said sternly.

"I'm coming too mom," Trunks said as he ran toward his mom, picked her and his sister up and headed for the sky before his dad could stop him.

"Grrr. Thanks a lot Namek, I'm trying to turn that son of mine into the fighter he should be." Vegeta scowled at the tall green man and headed for the sky chasing after his son and wife.

'Gohan will be happy to know not a lot has changed, Piccolo thought to himself. Piccolo watched as Capsule Corp. first family headed for the lookout.

Goku appeared outside of Krillin's house. He had finally moved away from Master Roshi after Eighteen had threatened to beat him within an inch of his life for pinching her rear. Needless to say even Krillin was not going to put up with Roshi after that. It took everything he had not to beat Roshi to a pulp. If his daughter weren't there he probably would have. In the last three years Krillin had started and continued to successfully run his own training center. Krillin taught martial arts, but stayed away from teaching anyone some of the more advanced techniques he had learned in his career as a Z warrior. Goku could sense that Krillin, Eighteen and Marron were all present in the nice sized home that resided in East City. Goku approached the house and knocked on the door, it was opened by some unknown force because no one stood in front of him as he looked straight ahead. Goku began to scratch the back of his head.

"GOKUUUUU," Goku looked down to see a little six year old blonde cutie attached to his leg.

"Well hey there Marron," Goku said as he picked her up in his arms, a big smile on both of their faces. "You know I just saw you yesterday."

"I know, but it's still nice to see you,"

"Aww well thanks Marron. Hey, where's your mom and dad."

"Hey Goku, what's up?" Goku looked toward where the voice came from and saw his old friend walking toward him, his hand on his wife's back, and hers on his shoulder.

Goku face had softened upon seeing Marron, but when he spotted Krillin, it returned to that of worry and concern.

"Piccolo came to me a little bit ago and asked that I help him gather everyone up to the Lookout. It sounds like there may be a problem, but Piccolo was unwilling to speak until everyone was gathered. So, you guys in?" Goku finally asked.

"Hmph, always Goku. We'll see you up there." Goku was happy, Krillin was always someone he could count on. Krillin would never give up, even when he knew he was outmatched, that was why Goku respected him so much. And Goku assumed that that was the reason Eighteen fell in love with him as well.

"Alright, thanks Krillin. I have to get Tien and Choazu, then Yamcha, then I'll be up." With that, Goku proceeded to teleport to his next destination.

DBSS

Piccolo touched down outside the small two bedroom home and approached it. He could sense two power levels inside, one, high considering she was human, the other was masking his power. The pain Piccolo dealt with for three years was finally gone, hers as well as his own. It was a welcome feeling, a feeling he hoped would remain for a long time. He reached the door and knocked. One power spiked while the other remained calm and unchanging. Piccolo recognized this one as his former pupil. The door opened slowly and revealed Gohan wearing only the lower half of his gi as well as a look of happiness at seeing his old mentor again. In his worry for Videl, Gohan didn't get much time to speak to his old friend.

"Hey Piccolo, I'm glad you stopped by, I'm sorry we didn't get to talk much last night," Gohan said extending his hand to his former mentor.

"No need Gohan, she occupies more of your mind than I would ever want to," Piccolo ended with a laugh. "You needed to be with her, not me. I have no problem with that."

"Piccolo…I know what you did while I was gone. I wanted to tha-"

"There's no need Gohan. You were the first person I ever called friend. For that, I would have done more than keep her safe. Could I have, I would have traded places with you." A tear formed in Gohan's eye as he looked at the once self proclaimed Demon King and was proud to have met someone as honorable as him. Thanks to Gohan, Piccolo was able to overcome the darkness in his heart and learn what it means to be a protector, instead of a destroyer.

"Well, now for the reason I'm here. I have asked that everyone meet me up at the Lookout. I have said nothing about your return, but from the expression I gave them, they are likely to assume that Earth is again in danger. But obviously this is a reunion of sorts, so head up there in a little bit and let everyone know you are back. Your mother will be so happy to see you again."

"Mom…Yeah, will do Piccolo." Piccolo started to walk away. "Hey Piccolo. Thanks."

"Hmph," Piccolo nodded and took flight for the lookout.

Gohan closed the door just as Videl walked out of the bedroom dressed in knee length form fitting white sleeveless dress with a light blue vest that ended at her waist. Gohan just stared at her again, in awe of her beauty and the eyes he could stare into for days.

"You alright Gohan," Videl asked giving him a smile.

"Uhh…yeah, I just realized how much I missed your eyes," Gohan said, still staring.

"Gohan," Videl started to blush. She walked over and gave him a kiss. "Come on, let's get going. If I know Vegeta, he won't want to wait long without an explanation." Videl laughed after saying this.

"Wait, you heard all that," Gohan asked curiously.

"Yeah, my window was open. What was it you knew Piccolo did?"

"He uh…He kept an eye on you while I was gone. I don't know how I knew, but I did. He watched over you because I couldn't, and I don't think I will ever be able to repay him."
"Hey, I never needed his help I'll let you know," Videl said defiantly with a grin as she placed her hands on her hips. Gohan couldn't help but smile.

"That may be so, but knowing that he watched over you allowed me to relax just a little," Gohan said as he pulled her into his embrace.

"You know, I think that makes sense. I always felt like someone was watching me. You remember how you helped me learn to sense ki's? Well I always thought I could feel one around me, even when I was alone. Usually I just passes it off as that my ability wasn't that attuned."
"You are stronger than you think Videl. I always knew that, and it was just one of the many reasons why I fell in love with you."

"You know Gohan, flattery only gets you so far," Videl said with a smirk. "Now go take a shower, you smell like a foot."

DBSS

"Damn it Kakarrot, why the hell are we here?" Vegeta snapped. They had been at the lookout for a half hour already and Vegeta was getting agitated, well more than ususal.

"Shut up Vegeta, he said Piccolo would explain everything once he got back. He is probably on his way back now." Bulma was getting mad at her husband's lack of patience, but it was his ferocity that she fell in love with in the first place.

"Hey everyone," Krillin called out as he landed on the Lookout. "So whats the big news?"

"We don't know," ChiChi said, walking to greet her husband friend.

"Hmph, the green man returns," Vegeta exclaimed as he sense the Namekian drawing closer to the lookout.

Piccolo descended and landed next to Dende, who was also wearing a face of extreme worry.

"I see you all have made it," Piccolo started.
"Yes we have, now would you mind telling us what this is about," Vegeta spat at the green warrior.

"I will as soon as our last two guests arrive."

"Last two, what do you mean, all of us are here," spoke the three eyed fighter.

"That's not entirely true," Eighteen spoke up. This caught Piccolo by surprise.

She must have been the one that I passed on the way back to the lookout with Videl last night, Piccolo thought to himself.

"Huh, what do you mean hunny," Krillin asked.
"Yeah mommy. Who isn't here?" Marron asked.



"Someone that w-," Eighteen was cut off before she could finish her sentence.

"What the…That power level is enormous, it's unbelievable," Vegeta said, his eyes wide and his jaw slack.

"Oh my. There is a second one I think too. It's much weaker though," Goku said, just as shocked as Vegeta was at this power. Piccolo and Dende remained steadfast, unflinching. They knew who that power belonged to.

"Eighteen take Marron and head into the building, this could get ugly," Krillin said, worry evident in his voice.

"Ugh, common sweetie, your father is being silly," Eighteen said as she picked up her daughter and headed over to where Piccolo and Dende were standing.

"You helped Gohan last night didn't you," Piccolo asked out of the corner of his mouth. Eighteen nodded. Marron heard none of this. ChiChi and Bulma made their way over toward the two green men as well.

"Alright everyone, ready?" Yamcha asked. Everyone nodded, and ready themselves in defensive stances preparing for what would likely be a bad fight. The powers were heading directly for the lookout, but as they drew closer Goku began to sense something else.

"Wait guys, I don't think that whatever this is wants to hurt us. There is a calm air about this power. It doesn't seem hostile."

"Doh. Shut up Kakarrot, what if that's what it wants us to think," Vegeta yelled angrily. While he wouldn't admit it, Vegeta was scared. He had not felt a power this high sense the fight with Buu.

"Vegeta, just feel it out a little more, you have to be able to sense it. Plus why would someone evil travel with someone with a power level so much lower."

"Remember Broly, Kakarott," Goku was caught off guard at this question. Sure he remember the Legendary Super Saiyan that almost killed him and the rest of his friends, but regardless, this power was almost familiar. He knew it meant no harm.

"I still don't think that it is coming here to attack us," Goku said, his voice calm and assertive.

"Do what you want, Kakarrot, but I am not going to lower my guard.

The two figures began to come into view. They began to descend onto the Lookout and everyone's eyes began to widen. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. One of the two figures was obviously Videl, and the other one forced everyone to blink a couple of times. The woman with the yellow dress finally stepped forward slowly and said.

"Gohan," it was barely audible, but Gohan was easily able to hear it.

"Hi mom." Before Gohan knew what hit him, his mom had her arms wrapped around her son she had not seen in three long years. ChiChi was crying so hard Gohan thought she was going to break herself. He just wrapped his arms around his mother and tried to keep her steady. After a few moments, ChiChi loosened her grip and looked at her son hard in the eyes. He had his father's eyes, and the infinite kindness that came with them.

"My son, you came back."

"Yeah mom, I'm back." ChiChi broke down sobbing into Gohan's gi again. He just held onto her until she was ready to let go. When she finally had let go Gohan hugged his dad, gave a handshake to Tien, Chaozu, Yamcha and Krillin, then almost got the wind knocked out of him when his brother launched himself at him engulfing Gohan in a power hug. "Woah, I missed you to squirt." Goten had not grown much in height in the last few years. After Gohan was able to pry his brother off of him he got a hug from Bulma.

"We missed you kiddo," Bulma said as she pulled back from him.

"I missed you guys a lot to. And whose this?" Gohan asked inquiring to the blue haired beauty in Bulma's arms.

"This, is Bulla. Bulla say hi," Bulla looked at Gohan, smiled, cooed, and spit up.

"Awe, she's adorable," Gohan said rubbing the end of her nose with his finger.

"Yeah Bulma she looks just like you," Videl said smiling wide.

"Well Gohan, now that you're back, I want to ask you something. I kept hoping that you would come back somehow, because I want you to be her Godfather," Bulma said sort of nervously. She wasn't sure he would accept.

"Of course, I would love to. Can I hold her?" Gohan asked uncertain.

"Sure," Bulma said as she relinquished her daughter.

"Hey there cutie," Gohan said as he tickled her tummy. Bulla giggled and smiled up at her newfound Godfather. Videl meanwhile was watching him intently. Man he sure is good with kids, I wonder if he would want any of our own?

Dende came forward to see his old friend, "Glad to have you back Gohan. You gave me and Mr. Popo quite a scare when you flew past last night."



"Yeah, sorry about that, Videl was in trouble. Androids were attacking the city, and Videl went to try and stop them, but they were pretty vicious. After Piccolo got her out of there, Eighteen showed up and we took them out," Gohan said explaining the previous nights events as he handed Bulla off to her mother.

"So that's where you went off to last night," Krillin said to his wife.

"Yeah, looks like my feelings were right," Eighteen said. Krillin nodded to his wife.

"Yeah, she made quick work of them, they were failed creations of Gero that managed to escape the destruction of his lab," Gohan explained.

"Wait a minute," ChiChi spoke up again, her voice rising. "So you mean to tell me that you have been back since last night and you didn't think to come see your dear old mother who was worried sick about you."

"Mom please," fear overcoming Gohan. Videl thought this was pretty funny. "V-Videl was in trouble I had to save her."

"Well I suppose that's a good reason. I better get my grandchildren soon then." Gohan blushed. Videl came up to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Who knows," she began to whisper, "It may be sooner than she thinks." Gohan liked the way she thought.

Gohan continued to visit with his family and friends throughout the day. Dende and Mr. Popo had brought out a feast for the gang, but unlike the last time, everyone ate, especially the Saiyans.

As everyone was talking and laughing, Gohan took this chance to step out and teleport to his parents house. He went to his bedroom, and removed a loose floorboard that he used to hide stuff under. Only one thing remained under there constantly over the years. His mom's, mom's ring. His grandpa the Ox-King had given it to him when Gohan was only four. Gohan remembered what his grandpa had told him.

Flashback

"Gohan," came the Ox-Kings deep voice.

"Yes Grandpa," Gohan answered back.

"Gohan I have something for you," Ox-King said, holding out his hand.

"Oooo, what is it, a new toy?" Gohan asked excitedly.

"No Gohan, this is something far more important. This is your grandmothers ring, and I want you to have it. When you meet that very special girl someday, you give her this ring when the time is right," explained the Ox-King.

"But Grandpa, girls are icky, I don't like them," Gohan said, the disgust evident in his face and voice.

"That may be so now, but when you get older you won't feel that way. I want you to keep this safe until the time is right Gohan. Can you do that?"

"Yes, Grandpa, whatever you say," Gohan said as he took the ring. He immediately headed for his room and placed it under the loose floorboard.

End flashback

The ring was absolutely beautiful Gohan thought. The ring itself was gold with a few slivers of silver on it that made a pattern as though it was wrapped around the ring itself. There was a total of 5 stones, a center diamond, two rubies outside of that, with two sapphires outside of those. The gems were not large and gaudy, but small, simple, and elegant, perfect for Videl. Goha placed his fingers to his forhead and returned to the Lookout where it appeared everyone was trying to figure out where he had gone.

Videl came running up to him. Gohan cringed, she looked a little mad. Everyone looked at the scene that was about to unfold, some looked like they were going to enjoy this, others looked like they were contemplating running. As Videl closed in on Gohan, he fell to one knee, and grabbed her hand in one quick motion before she could have time to slap him for running off, which is what he assumed she wanted to do. Now seeing Gohan on one knee, Videl's expression changed from one of anger to one of surprise. Gohan brought his other hand up and presented the ring to Videl who's eyes immediately began to fill with tears.

"Videl Satan…Will you marry me?" Videl watched as he placed the ring on her finger. The tears were coming full force now, but Videl was smiling, the smile that melted Gohans heart.

"Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes," Videl said as she leapt onto Gohan and kissed him fiercely. Gohan spun her around, this was the happiest day of his life.

Everyone came over to congratulate them, ChiChi still yammering on about grandchildren but Gohan didn't care. The rest of his life he would get to wake up to the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, lying next to him. Everyone continued to enjoy the reunion throughout the day and into the night. When Trunks and Goten began to fall asleep in their respective mother's laps, it was decided the time was right to return home. Gohan bid his friends and family goodnight before grabbing his fiancée and teleporting to their home. Videl had one thing on her mind, and she Gohan would reciprocate.

DBSS

Gohan awoke the next morning and realized he was the only one in the bed. Videl could be heard in the bathroom getting rid of the previous day's buffet that they had on the Lookout. Worried Gohan ran into the bathroom to hold her while she finished the expulsion process.
"You okay Videl," Gohan asked, worry in his voice and on his face.

"Yeah, just felt really nauseous when I woke up this morning," she explained as she began to stand up. Gohan began to realize that something wasn't right. He took her into his eyes and studied her closely when he realized something was different. She was almost glowing it seemed. Her ki was different, almost like there were…

Gohan knelt back down and lifted up Videls night shirt. He grabbed her hips and placed his ear to her abdomen, then kissed it. Videl looked at him with a strange expression on her face.

"What are you doing silly, trying to make me feel better?"

"No. I'm kissing our baby.

Well there you go another update done and up. Hope you liked it. Next chapter, an old friend returns, try and guess who it will be...
