Me: Thanks for the reviews guys. Just letting you know that I am no longer sad and if my friends want to ignore me I will find other friends to talk to. I know that at least some people actually care.
MadamKabooshkwa: I love you 3
Me: Love you too 3
Goten: Why do mummy and daddy want to be alone?
Me: Uh...
MadamKabooshkwa: YOU'RE SO ADORABLE *grabs Goten in a tight bear hug*
Goten: Can't. Breath.
MadamK: Sorry. You were just so cute and innocent I couldn't help it.
Me: Anyway, bit of stupid fluff this chapter. Don't worry the next chapter I think the action will start.

Gohan and Videl had been walking for a few minutes and had been surprised that their blonde friends had not been following them at all. Not that either one had really cared all that much, they were just a bit concerned that their friends would somehow end up in some kind of trouble when it came to anything to do with survival.
"So Gohan, where are we heading off to?" Videl asked, breaking the peaceful silence that had fallen between them.
"You'll see," Gohan replied mysteriously.
Videl crossed her arms and pouted at her boyfriend. Gohan chuckled at how cute she looked at that point making Videl lose her composure and giggle along with him. Not too long later the two teens entered an area that looked similar to the initial campsite the class had been at but rather than being completely surrounded by trees, one side of the clearing was a rocky area where a cave happened to be. The river ran a few metres away from the cave and right beside the trees the teens had just emerged from.
Gohan grabbed Videl's hand gently and led her over to the small cave. Upon further inspection the said cave was fairly small and looked like it could house a bear during the colder months. They placed the bags they had been carrying with anything that could help with survival inside, on the cold floor inside the cave.
"Wow, this place is really nice. Not to mention it has everything necessary for survival in a close proximity. Shelter, food source, water. Must be handy knowing this area and having lived like this when you were four or five," Videl stated in awe.
"Yeah I guess you're right. Why don't we- What the? Why is he coming this way?" Gohan said walking out of the cave, Videl following closely, confusion on both of their faces.
"Who's coming? Gohan?"
"It's Goten. But I thought mum had grounded him."
Videl looked to where Gohan was staring and saw a speck in the distance, getting larger very quickly. 'Must be Goten. He was probably getting lonely without his big brother around. That is so adorable. Wow. I would never have thought something like that a few weeks ago. Eh, perhaps it's better this way,' Videl thought to herself as Goten became much more visible.
Goten rushed and tackled Gohan to the ground as soon as he reached the clearing the couple were standing in. The Son boys laughed with each other, Videl smiling at how happy the two were together on the ground. Gohan pushed his hyper active brother off of him, sitting up.
"Hey squirt. Why are you here? And more importantly how did you get out of the house? Didn't mum ground you?"
"I wanted to see you. I haven't seen you in soooooo long. Mum said that I had been good enough since she grounded me and she wanted to be with dad for some time without anyone around."
Gohan shuddered at the thought of what his mother wanted to be alone with his father for. Shaking any possible mental images out of his mind Gohan looked at his bouncing brother who happened to be holding something in his hands.
"Gohan look at what I found. SNAILS!" Goten exclaimed, opening his hands to show two small snails in his palms.
"You know what this means, right buddy?" Gohan asked his excited brother. Goten nodded his head so fast Videl thought it would fly off into a tree or rock. "SNAIL RACING!"
Videl face palmed at what she had just heard her boyfriend get so excited about. She watched as the two boys set up an extremely short race track for the snails and watched as they picked a snail and placed them at the starting line. As soon as they said 'go' the snails began to move in the direction of the finish line.
"Snaily is winning Gohan. He's leaving your snail in his snail dust."
"Slow and steady wins the race Goten."
The snails were nearing the finish line. The excitement rose to new extremes for the two brothers.
"I WIN," the two Sons exclaimed at the same time, throwing their arms in the air.
"Wait that's not my snail," Gohan realised, turning his head to his brother, who now shared the same look as him.
"That isn't Snaily either," Goten revealed gloomily.
"So if I didn't win and you didn't win, then who did?"
"That would be me," Videl announced happily. "Nice job Gary. You started after those other snails and beat them both. You must be the dark snail of the family." (A/N: pretty much like the dark horse of the family, only the snail version ;P)
"Gary?" Gohan asked his mate curiously.
"Yeah. You know like the snail in Spongebob Squarepants?"
Gohan shook his head, not having a clue on what she was talking about.
"It's a cartoon on T.V. I'll show you one day. Anyway what's my prize for Gary winning?" Videl said, winking at the end.
Gohan put a finger to his chin for a moment, thinking of something. "Flying lessons."
"Haven't you already given me flying lessons?"
"Well yeah, but these ones will be more advanced and you will be flying around without any difficulty in no time," the older demi-saiyan grinned.
"You really are oblivious, aren't you?" Videl asked, shaking her head slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. Where did Goten run off to?"
Both teens looked around the small area to see no sign of the seven year old boy. Gohan closed his eyes and sensed out where his brother had gone, realising the child was floating right above them both. Sighing, Gohan gained Videl's attention and pointed upwards, to where Goten was. The older boy quickly flew up to his brother and got him in a headlock with his right arm, using his left to give his brother a playful noogie.
"Gohan! Let me go, that hurts!" Goten cried, squirming to escape his brother's hold, but to no avail.
Videl stood below watching the two brothers in amusement and could not contain her laughter. She began to laugh so hard, she fell over on the ground, which only made her laugh even more.
"Say mercy and I'll let you go."
"Okay, okay. Mercy. Mercy," Goten called out, allowing him to be released from Gohan's grip.
The two lowered themselves down to the ground, where they saw a very red and hysterical Videl, rolling around, trying to calm herself down. Gohan chuckled a bit at the state his girlfriend was in, while Goten rubbed the part of his head that had been attacked by his brother's knuckles.
"You alright Videl?" Gohan asked with slight concern.
Videl just nodded, trying to catch her breath, after calming down from her previous laughter. Taking deep breaths, Videl sat up, clutching her stomach that had become tense after all the laughing she had been doing.
"Think you can handle some flying, or should we finish setting up camp first?"
"Camp would be best. I kinda tired myself out laughing," Videl smiled.
Gohan nodded and returned the smile, holding a hand out to help her up off the ground. The raven haired teen grabbed the hand offered to her graciously, and allowed Gohan to help her stand. They both agreed that Gohan could collect some firewood and any meat, while Videl found some berries, or other fruit and set up some blankets and such she had brought along with her in the cave they were going to sleep in. Goten had chosen to help his big brother out with the wood and Gohan told him to go help Videl out with finding any fruit and such. Knowing your way around the area really had its advantages.
After the two teens had finally set up camp and eaten some lunch, which Goten had gone back home for, they decided to start on some flying lessons. The demi-saiyan was proud that Videl had managed to hover above the ground without him having been able to do any more than just teach her how to bring her ki out, so he knew it would not take long at all for her to be flying around like she knew how to fly all her life.
"Okay, Videl. I want you to bring out your ki like we did when I first taught you," Gohan instructed Videl, as they were standing in the grassy clearing outside their cave.
The girl nodded and was able to quickly pull out the little golden ball of energy. She smiled at Gohan, who had the biggest grin plastered across his face. She was barely even concentrating on what she was holding in her hands and yet it still remained. This impressed the spikey haired teen and he knew she would be able to fly with absolutely no problem whatsoever.
"Now I want you to follow me," Gohan said, beginning to float up into the air.
Videl pushed her ki underneath her and was now at the same altitude her boyfriend was. He began to fly slowly in the direction of the trees, with Videl following close behind. This continued on for around an hour and the young female had managed to increase her speed immensely and flew like it was second nature to her.
"Wow Videl, you are really good at flying. I barely even taught you anything," Gohan said taking a bite out of an apple.
"I guess I was just born to fly. Hey look, the sun is setting. The sky looks really pretty."
"Yeah. This is one of the reasons I love living out here."
The two teens looked into each others eyes, fire crackling in the background, cooking the large fish that had been caught. They slowly leaned in towards each other, feeling the others gentle breath on their lips. Just inches apart from one another, when a small child said, "kissy, kissy."
The teens pulled apart, to see the mini version of Son Goku holding onto the biggest fish that had been cooking on the fire. Gohan jumped up and chased his little brother around yelling at him to give back the fish.
'Those two. If this is how my life is going to be from now on, I think I may just go a little crazy. Oh well, I don't think I would trade it for anything else in the world,' Videl thought to herself, watching the scene in front of her.
A/N: Goten ruined the perfect moment. Well done kid. I got the idea of snail racing watching the news, cause they had snail racing on it and I thought it would be very amusing. I was kinda hyper when I wrote most of this, but it's been a good week. I don't think I will be getting the next chapter out for a little while since I have a few tests and stuff coming up in school :( I'll try my best though.
