Dream Called Reality
Chapter VI: Can I...
A/N: This is the last chapter of Dream Called Reality. Minus the epic epilogue in my head. BTW: Have I had to many cliffies because Gohanfave said I had to many 'bleddy cliffhangers'?
Disclaimer: Videl belongs to Gohan & Gohan belongs to Videl. I don't own the others either. Poo.
Last Time on Dream Called Reality:
Videl climbed onto Gohan's shoulders, pulled herself up, and screamed "FREEDOM!"
"Not for long." A voice says.
"HELP ME GOHAN!" She screams.
'What happened to her?' Gohan thinks, 'What if she-she-'
"Don't think like that! She is fine, right? How am I getting out of this blasted cave should be my next concern but how do I do that? The logs!"
Videl's azure eyes fluttered open, "Where am I?"
She looked up and saw she was being hung, "That's the second time in four days."
"So the wench is awake." A voice, the same one that she heard before she was put to sleep, states.
"Will you just tell me who you are, what you want, what you will do to me, give me your darn backstory, and let me go back to the cave?" Videl asks.
"THAT IS NO WAY TO ADRESS YOUR QUEEN!" Chi-Chi screams and the entire palace shakes.
"Mother?" Gohan drops the log he was holding at the sound of what he belives (and is his mother's voice.
"If that was mom, someone's in deep oil. Hope it's not Vidy." Gohan says picking up the log he dropped when he was scared half to death.
"Queen? My sincerest apologies your highness." Videl says frantically, "I would bow but as you can see, I am being hung."
"HUSH WENCH! YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE DECAPITATED!" Chi-Chi screams.
"What did I do?" Videl asked.
Chi-Chi rolls her eyes and says, "You are being decapitated for stealing my son you wench."
"I didn't steal your son. He asked me to runaway with him."
"He would never do such a thing. Tell me why he'd do that?"
"It was because he didn't want to get married to the country that has all change and no brains."
Goten and M. Goten bust through the door, "Don't decapitate the pretty lady that sings to me and makes my room smell like Cotton Candy! Besides, I told you that he ran away. I'll make a flashback appear over there!" Goten says pointing to the ceiling. Everyone looks up.
*Flashback*
"Guards! Guards! GUARDS!" Queen Chi-Chi screams, "My son has gone missing! My little Gohan, somewhere all alone. He is probably miserable and hungry and lonely and- Oh!"
"Calm down, Chi-Chi. I am sure he is fine." Goku assures her.
Goten walks into the room, "I know what happened to him."
Chi-Chi's eyes widened in delight, "Where is he? What happened to him? Tell me!"
"I promised Gohan I wouldn't tell anyone he ran away." Goten covered his mouth as he realized what he said.
"Guards! Find my son! He has ran away!" Chi-Chi screamed, "The first person to bring him back to me will get 1,000 zeni!"
*End Flashback*
"See, I told you he ran away!" Goten pouts.
Chi-Chi raises her finger, "Ah, but she went with him and did not tell anyone. She will now be decapitated for high treason instead of kidnapping the prince. Besides why would he need her in his life?"
"'Cause he loves her!" Goten yelled.
Chi-Chi and Videl get opposite looks on thier faces. Videl, a look of hope and excitement; Chi-Chi, a look of scorn and distastefulness. "Really?" They say in unison, "Who told you that?"
"Netog!" Goten exclaims.
Both women look at M. Goten and he says, "Are you gonna try to decapitate me?"
Chi-Chi nods.
"But I'm your great-great-great-great...lots of great-grandson! From the future! I'm here to make sure that the things that should go right go right and the things that should go wrong go wrong and sometimes I have to make sure that the right things go wrong and the wrong things go right or else everything in the future will not go right and will go wrong. Are we clear?"
All three tilt there head and say, "What?"
"I'm not sure either. That's what Trunks told me to say."
"Repeat what you said." Chi-Chi demands.
"I'm here to make sure that the things that should go right go right and the things that should go wrong go wrong and sometimes I have to make sure that the right things go wrong and the wrong things go right or else everything in the future will not go right and will go wrong. Are we clear?" M. Goten repeats.
"One more time."
"I'm here to make sure that the things that should go right go right and the things that should g-"
"We get it!" Videl yells, "By the way, there is no blood pumping to my wrists or hands. Just so you know."
"Disrespect?! Off with your head! Then we shall feed your body to the dogs and give the leftovers to the crocodiles in the moat! And we'll make your head watch it all!"
"My deepest apologies my queen," Videl grumbled.
A man walks into the room and annouces, "Your highness, it is time for the decapitation."
Chi-Chi smiles evily. Videl swallows hard. I will not end the chapter here.
Videl's face was wet with tears. She was about to be decapitated because this boy, her best friend, this boy she was deeply in love with, asked her to run away with him. He would never know how she felt about him.
She sighed as she laid as she laid her head on the table.
"Goten? Tell Gohan I love him, okay?" Videl says forcing a fake smile.
"Sniff. Okay, Videl. I wish you would have married Gohan. I know he loves you, too." Goten says with tears coming from his eyes.
"Wait, future Goten? Aren't you here to make sure that the things that should go right go right and the things that should go wrong go wrong and sometimes you have to make sure that the right things go wrong and the wrong things go right or else everything in the future will not go right and will go wrong?"
"True, but this is how it is supposed to be." M. Goten frowns.
"Drop the blade!" Chi-Chi orders. The blade dropped.
Just before it chopped her neck, it stopped.
"Videl, you can sit up. Your not being decapitated today." A voice tells her gently.
She turn around slowly, "G-G-G-G-oh-han?" She stutters.
"Yes," He answers with a smile.
Videl wastes no time and presses her lips against his. He was a first surprised but he went with the flow.
"Ew!" Goten says.
M. Goten pats Goten's head, "You'll understand when your older."
"I-I-I," Chi-Chi stutters.
"It's true love, Chi." Goku says placing a hand on her shoulder.
They broke the kiss, "I love you so much." They say in unison staring dreamily into each others eyes.
"Videl, I know we have not had a proper courtship, but I know I love you more than life itself." Gohan says.
"Videl," he says, getting on one knee, "can I marry you?"
"I think you worded the question wrong." Goku says.
Gohan shakes his head, "Is she marrying me or am I marrying her?"
"Is that not interchangeable?" Goten asks.
"It went better in my head," Gohan says.
"Yes," Videl answers, "you can marry me!"
He picks up her ring and places and thin gold ring on her finger.
"How...how did...you?" She stutters.
"In the cave, when we found all that gold, I saw a little round piece of gold. I thought it would be perfect for you."
"Have I told you I love you?" She asks.
The story had a happy ending that's true, but I have an epilogue just for you!
