Videl is flying in the air as Pan is on her back, enjoying the breeze giggling! "Almost there Pan!" Videl said happily! She then does a twirl down making Pan laugh in the process and lands on the ground at Capsule Corp. Pan comes to Videl's arms.
Shocked, a rolling car with a couple in it, unknowingly to them almost crashes into a tree from seeing the young lady and her infant come from the sky like it was normal...
They stopped and hugged each other obviously creep out. The guy shouted "D-Did you j-just see that?" he stuttered. "W-Was that Mr. Satan's daughter?" the frighten woman asked.
Videl with Pan in her arms, walks up to Capsule Corp and presses the monitor button. "Hi welcome to Capsule Corp. Are you here to visit? If so which of the following parties? Vegeta-San, or Bulma-San, Dr. Brief, or his wife?"
the lady asked and Videl pressed the button "Bulma San please."….."She is here, and will be with you shortly. Your name ma'am?" …
"Videl San.." she said and the door opened for her as she enters. "Miss Bulma would be right with you" the lady at the desk said.
"Thanks!" She said. Videl checks her C.C ZPhone. Then, the sound of Bulma's voice ring.
"Videl? Hi, how are you doing?" Bulma ask "Bulma" Pan sweetly said flying to her arms, to hug her and Bulma embraced her "Well hello there cutie..Wow, that grip"
Videl "Pan be careful..." Bulma laughed as she end up giving her a hug. "Hi Bulma! I'm fine, how are you" Bulma replied back "Doing great, mommy duties as usual. What brings you and little Pan by?"
"Terribly sorry if we intrude but…I've brought Pan to probably play with Bra if she's awake? And, just to chat in general since it's been a while. I've also, sort of had concerns regarding Gohan.." She said a bit dry and upset, and Bulma smile turned upside down.
"Oh, Is everything alright?" Videl shakes her head. "Come, let's go to the living room and chat. Bra is up and Pan is welcome to play with her!" Pan clapped cheerfully. Videl smiled as she walked with her.
Once they got in there after Bulma pressed the button to open the door. "Would you like something to drink?" she offered.
"Some water would be fine thank you!" she said sitting her purse down and on the sofa. Bulma went to put the baby in the room where Bra was, who was in her cradle playing with blocks.
Pan greeted her and vice verse despite not being able to talk. Bulma eventually came back, and gave Videl her water as she sat down across from her.
"So, how's my niece Pan?" Videl smiled "She's getting so big, quite frankly. She's a bit of work, but I am probably sure that's her Saiyan genes kicking in, either that or she adapted my stubborn personality when I was a child.."
Bulma and her laughs "Most likely it's that Saiyan blood, she's very strong wow. How is that?" Videl shrugged.
"I asked myself the same thing...but that's daddy's little girl for you!" they giggled. "Sure is, Gohan so happy when he is with her. He really love parenthood!." Videl smiled,
"He really does, it's so beautiful seeing him enjoying being a father. I sometimes think about having another child but Gohan been so hard at work with his studies I'm not sure he's ready either."
Bulma cleared her throat. "So about Gohan? That has you so upset?…" Videl took a sip of her water, totally forgetting about what she said earlier for a moment.
Videl sighed "Well, ever since he came back from the tournament he's been…..different, like he's very laid back and hardly talks." Bulma sips her tea "At you?" Videl shook ehr head.
"He talks to me like everything's normal but he's been very antsy lately and I don't know why….You know out of everyone Bulma, that me and Gohan have a connection deeper like no other. Like, I feel he's holding a lot of stuff back, though he don't express it maybe not to upset me, but not knowing really bothers me more than anything and everytime I bring it up, he tries to change the subject, and I just..leave him alone. Last thing I wanna do is argue, when I know something's not right about the way he's been acting…Gohan usually is open with me on everything, now he just seems shut down."
Videl explained. "Oh hon, don't feel upset, I'm sure whatever it is that happened at the tournament he'll get by..Gohan hasn't really trained for a long minute so maybe him getting eliminated had something to do with it."
Bulma said she wanted to tell her the whole universe was at stake as clearly she still didn't know about that, apparently Gohan never told her and she understood why, but she wanted them to talk about it. and she knew Gohan would open to her eventually.
"Hey, I say just give him some time. Gohan's just probably going through a dilemma I seen this behavior from him before when he was a child, especially when stress. Afterall he has a hidden temper, that can be provoked….If you let him blow off whatever steam he has I'm sure he'll feel better."
Bulma explained resting her hand on Videl's shoulder "Gee Bulma, thank you…I guess I should…" they hear ruffling and it's Vegeta.
"Hi Vegeta." Videl smirked, he nod his head and picked up a apple. "Um, Vegeta." he turned to her.
"I-I'm just curious, Gohan's been acting strange lately. I'm not the one to judge you or anything as I have great respect for you…But, you didn't say anything negative towards him, you know him being weak? before you guys went to the tournament did you?"
Vegeta just looked at her and then sort of smirked with that permanent narrowed brows. "Maybe a few months ago, I would have…but…. I have nothing negative to say about that boy he's who he is…I can however respect him for doing pretty descent at the tournament, one thing for sure…he fights with honor, and whatever training he did prior paid off…Whatever it is, I'm sure it has something to do with pride, it's what we saiyans are use too." he said walking away.
Videl was shocked, and expected Vegeta to lash out something annoying or belated her, since he really didn't care about Goku and his kids for all she knew…but he was quite respectful and she smiled.
"That's sweet of you to say Vegeta.." Videl said, and Bulma smiled. "Hmph" he just said walking away and Bulma giggled. "Wow, Vegeta has sure come around.." Bulma strugged.
"He's in a pretty good mood, lately..so I suppose it was a given. Anyway he's rgiht Videl…it may be his pride acting up but I wouldn't fully be concern, when he's ready he'll talk trust me.."
Videl put her hand on her cheek. "I hope you're right. Sometimes, I wonder if it's me? Maybe I'm not doing a good job being his wife." She said and Bulma chuckled.
"Videl come on, Gohan worships the ground you step on, that's very unlikely as he always brags how great you are, that should be your least concern" Videl smiled and blushed.
"Wow, he does?" she said a bit taken back in awe, a slight blush hit her cheeks. "Guess, living with him everyday I wouldn't know…" Bulma giggled,
Bulma knew Gohan was feared that he'd never see Videl again, or Pan. She felt bad, but relieved that didn't happen, and their universe was safe, she was more mad at Goku for putting them in that predicament in the first place, not knowing he scared all of them, that they would never see their family anymore..
"Hmm, that's interesting." Was what Bulma could really say. Back at their house. Gohan got was his office after a bit of studying and he began to get frustrated and throw his book across the room that he made a large dent and scratched his head.
"Damnit.." He said and sighed sitting back down. "What should I do? I wanna get stronger, but I also have this damn conference tomorrow how the hell can I balance this, and at the same time freaking be a father and a husband.." He said clutching his hands in irritation.
The voice of his mother clouded his head of her raging voice that could scare the strongest being in the world.. "How dare my Gohan abandon his conferences and studies, to train? Are you serious? What a disgrace towards me, how could he do that?."
He put his head down, and unknowingly drifted off...
A dream he end up having regarding Videl.
"Listen Gohan, you better figure what you are going to do. Without you working, how the hell do you expect us to live a financially stable life?."
"We can't always rely on my dad's riches nor my job itself. You of all people should understand that."
"B-But Videl San, I-"
She cut him off...
"Don't but me, we're not teenagers anymore Gohan, we're grown adults now...Who has a infant 1 year old." (She points at him) "You as a husband and a father need to do better than what you call yourself currently doing. And I thought you were a real man...What an embarrassment you are as my husband." Gohan turns pale!
Gohan awakens panting in and out. He looked round and saw it was just a dream. He rubbed his face, and went to the kitchen to pour him some water.
CAPSULE CORP.
"It's always a pleasure to hang out with you Bulma, we should do this every weekend." Bulma chuckles "You bet, we are great friends after all Videl, you know you and Gohan and Pan are always welcome here!"
"Thanks, I speak the same for you, Vegeta Bra, and Trunks. And thank you for letting Pan spend a night, if she is any problem please don't hesitate to call us."
Bulma chuckled "Don't worry about it, she;s a doll. You take care everything will be alright trust me." Bulma insisted. Videl smiled in acceptance.
"Thanks Bulma, Well, I better get going to get supper prepared...see you!" she said walking off waving as Bulma waved back before shutting the door. Videl sighed, and looked at her Z phone and saw a miss call from Gohan.
She called him back, "H-hello" he asked, "Hey sweety, are you okay? do you need anything? I'm on my way home from Bulma's..Pan is staying a night" she said as cheerful she could.
"That's great, and Um, no I -I was just seeing if you were okay that's all, I'll see you soon." He said and clicked off, Videl sort of smiled, that Gohan checked on her, she hopped into the sky and fly there quickly as possible.
It took 10 min. to get there with the speed she was going now that she didn't have Pan.
Once inside she put her apron on, and before she could go into the kitchen she sees dinner for two already prepared. Gohan, emerged from the other room, in his sweats and beater. Videl was stunned and shocked she just stood there frozen.
It's a bit slow but I'm building up the story it's going to get really interesting the next two chapters...Gohan will make his decision that may effect his family in the long run but he wants to follow his intuition even costly. #staytuned. Thank you very much for taking your time to read this story. Videl is a different character in my story Btw she may seem like her Super counterpart now, boring and cliche but she's actually way better and play a big role somewhere in it. (Very soon to show!)
