The question of fate, a gohan and videl story

[gokuromario]

this thing only took me a day to write, but it's finally done, i was gonna post it in parts but i think its better as a whole.

lets go then, part one commences now.

[gokuromario]

(In a time of peace, the world seems to change so dramatically, 7 years since cell was destroyed and still the world rests upon the weary shoulders of the z fighters, some z fighters choose to train there bodies while others train their minds, this is a story about true love in the making, when the time for suspicion is over, the time for passion shall begin)

PART 1 – The Training Continues

(Gohan and Goten begin a day of training in the mountains, they are running through the fields together feeling the breeze)

Gohan-“so is this the kinda training that you wanted goten”

Goten-“yeah” (suddenly a huge hovercraft floats by their heads, Gohan and goten stop in the middle and feel a strong gust of wind as the mechanical flight machine lands on the ground, emerging from the machine is videl with her hair shorter than usual, probably newly cut) “hey Gohan, who’s the new girl”

Gohan-“oh forget it this girl stuff is just too complicated”

(Videl looks around the area and steps towards Gohan and goten with her arms by her side)

Videl-“well this looks like a nice spot, so what’s on the agenda for today”

Gohan-“uh actually videl (nervous) it was just gonna be me and goten for today”

Videl-(staring at him nastily, he steps back) “so your saying your little brothers more important than me”

Gohan-“uh no, what I meant was that……oh forget it”

Videl-“so I can train with you today”

Gohan-(giving in) “yes”

Videl-“good” (walks off into the distance, finds a tree nearby and does some warm-up exercises against it)

Goten-(staring) “wait, is that videl”

Gohan-“yeah”

Goten-“why she got her hair like that”

Gohan-“well you see goten that’s something that I’ll need to explain with big complicated words and I don’t know if you’d understand it”

Goten-“meaning?”

Gohan-“I have no idea”

Goten-(pause) “so what do we do now”

Gohan-“train I guess”

Goten-(watches as Gohan walks away, he just stands there like goku with his hands behind his head and legs crossed) “you know Gohan, if its all the same to you, I think I might just go home (begins to walk, Gohan looks back in shock) I’d rather train when she’s gone”

Gohan-(rushes towards goten and grabs him between the head and starts to drag him by his hair) “oh no your not, you can’t leave me alone with her” (goten tries to break free but Gohan just keeps dragging him)

(Later that day, goten is seen feeding berries to his animal chums and Gohan gives videl some private lessons while he’s away)

Videl-(curious) “Gohan”

Gohan-“yeah”

Videl-“I was wondering, do you……..like my hair like this”

Gohan-“huh, well uh…..it’s pretty good, why’d you ask?”

Videl-“I don’t know, I just never really thought I would suit short hair before, the long ponytails were getting in the way of everything so I decided to cut it off”

Gohan-“well, we all have different opinions”

Videl-(pauses) “hey Gohan, what say after were done training I give you a few lessons”

Gohan-“what kind of lessons”

Videl-(in a sly way) “you’ll see”

Gohan-“anyway videl, we should get back to training, (she takes position) now remember, push your energy into the ground, lift yourself with it, let it pull you up like you were on a string” (videl tries to do the trick, suddenly goten’s laughter throws her off and she falls to the ground upset, Gohan runs over to goten to see what’s going on, he grabs goten by the head again) “what you trying to do little bro get me killed”

Goten-“no, I was teaching this chipmunk how to dance”

Gohan-“a what?” (looks down to the ground, sees a little rodent crawling across the ground)

Goten-“yeah, I’ve been hanging around these guys for weeks now, Gregory’s chip mate is just about to have a baby, if it’s a boy I might call him Charlie”

Gohan-“how nice, but would you keep it down”

Goten-“why”

Gohan-“videl needs to concentrate”

Goten-“all you talk about these days is videl, and how she needs to do stuff, why don’t you just marry her”

Gohan-(gets riled up) “just keep it down” (walks off steadily in a huff, goten continues playing, Gohan gets back to videl) “sorry bout that, he gets a little silly around animals”

Videl-“that’s okay, he’s just a kid”

Gohan-(to himself) “first time I’ve heard that”

Videl-“what did you say?”

Gohan-“nothing”

Videl-“Gohan, can you teach me how to catch wild animals cause I always wanted to go hunting”

Gohan-“well, it’s not on the schedule but sure, I’ll go tell goten” (turns around)

Videl-“no I meant just you and me” (Gohan gets a little startled by this statement) “unless you’re scared that I’ll out hunt you”

Gohan-(turns back around) “no not at all, I just wanted to tell goten that were leaving that’s all”

Videl-“good, go do that then” (Gohan runs off to tell goten about where there going, videl raises her hand and fires a small energy blast at Gohan, it explodes on his backside and he jumps a little, videl begins to laugh) “hey Gohan look I’ve been practicing”

Gohan-(looking back) “that’s great”

END OF PART 1

[gokuromario]

PART 2 – The hunt is on

(As the day continues, Gohan and videl walk into the forest where much wildlife and plants can be seen, videl marvels at the beauty of the scenery as Gohan looks down in defeat for some reason, videl points to a riverbed)

Videl-“hey look a waterfall, isn’t it pretty” (Gohan looks up)

Gohan-“I guess”

Videl-“wow, I never realized things were so beautiful in the forest, it must be great getting to live here all your life”

Gohan-“well after you get past all the bugs and stuff its really not that bad, I once spent an entire year on my own in the wild”

Videl-“how did you survive it”

Gohan-“same way I survive anything” (starts to look smug) “I faced my fears, grew stronger and became a man” (videl walks over and takes his hand, Gohan gets a little shocked)

Videl-“come on, I think I saw something” (she pulls him towards a tall tree, they hide behind it together, pause, she crouches down and looks out at the site of a small woodland creature, probably a rabbit) “there see, I told you”

Gohan-“wow, I guess your right, so what’s the plan”

Videl-“uh……..I don’t know actually, I’ve never done this before”

Gohan-“well there’s really nothing to it, you just……attack”

Videl-“oh, but (looks a little sad) I don’t know, attacking an animal, that seems so…..cruel”

Gohan-“and you wanted to go hunting why?”

Videl-“well at first I did, but now I’m not so sure, I mean look, its just an innocent creature, what gives us the right to take its life like that”

Gohan-“well, if you’re not up to it, maybe we should turn back”

Videl-(thinks about it) “no, I wanna do this, just point me in the direction of something really disgusting and I’ll blast it”

Gohan-“ok (searches round the area, finds a skunk) there you go, a nice smelly old skunk, and look it’s even an old one”

Videl-“oh that’s just mean”

Gohan-“what do you mean, mean, it’s old, it’s past its prime, it wants us to attack it”

Videl-“but just because something’s old doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve life”

Gohan-“sigh, fine” (looks around again, spots something on videl’s shoulder, he sighs again, speaks in a weak tone) “look there’s a spider on your shoulder, can you kill that”

Videl-“spider, where” (looks round to her shoulder and lets out a mighty scream, the birds from above the trees all flock away in fright, we then see videl cowering in Gohan’s arms) “yuck get it away”

Gohan-“hold still” (raises one hand and flicks the spider away with ease) “there it’s gone”

Videl-(hugs Gohan) “thanks, I’m allergic to spiders, they cause me to break out”

Gohan-“I’m sorry, I had no idea”

Videl-“thanks to you I won’t have to suffer, thank you” (hugs him tighter, Gohan finds it hard to breath)

Gohan-(trying to speak) “it was just a spider” (thoughts) “man is there anything this girl will just shoot” (pulls videl away from him) “videl if your not up to this we can just go home (she seems asleep) videl” (she gets up from her trance) “alright, now what is this about, narcolepsy, lack of sleep, insomnia”

Videl-(blushing) “sorry, I was day dreaming”

Gohan-(sighs and stares away into the distance, thinks to himself) “I wonder if dad had this much trouble with women”

(Later that afternoon, videl and Gohan wonder down together to a riverbed, the one that videl saw the waterfall from, Gohan collapses across the ground as videl stands and looks at him)

Videl-“hey, sleepy head”

Gohan-“what is it”

Videl-“wanna swim”

Gohan-“you’re kidding right”

Videl-“why not”

Gohan-“I’m not really dressed for the occasion”

Videl-“does that matter”

Gohan-“usually no but when I have guests I tend to get a little self preservative if you know what I mean” (closes his eyes, videl huffs, looks over to the riverbed, takes off her shoes, walks into the water, thrusts her arms into the water and sends a wave of water towards Gohan) “GAH, what’s that for”

Videl-“come on, your already wet, just dive in” (videl jumps into the water, swims around a little bit under it)

Gohan-(thinks to himself, gets up) “she seems cheery today (looks at his outfit) aw man, these were just washed, she’ll be the death of me” (Gohan takes a few steps, takes off his boots and dives into the water, he searches for videl underneath who seems to be wrestling away at a rock in the water, he dives down further to see what’s the problem and her foot is stuck, he removes the rock and they float to the top of the water)

Videl-(taking a deep breath) “now that’s two I owe ya”

Gohan-“videl, any reason why you wanted to swim”

Videl-“it’s all part of that training I mentioned earlier”

Gohan-“just what exactly have you got planned” (videl leans back and floats above the water)

Videl-“lesson 1, let your mind slip into an endless stream of relaxation and be one with the river”

Gohan-“o……..k………” (Leans back and floats above the water)

Videl-“lesson 2, breath deeply” (Gohan breathes) “good, now let your body become part of the water, and let yourself drift away like a gentle current”

Gohan-“what exactly is this supposed to do”

Videl-(curls up and moves towards Gohan’s view) “what I’m trying to do is teach you how to relax and let your senses be one with nature”

Gohan-“I think nature is now one with my underwear”

Videl-“oh forget it, your obviously not wanting my help”

Gohan-“no please, I’ll listen, go on”

Videl-“alright, (puts herself back into a floating position) just sit back and relax, feel everything around you and let your mind be free”

Gohan-(pauses) “you know this does feel nice”

Videl-“great you’re getting the hang of it”

(They both let out a gentle breath, each of them floats there, videl floats towards a tree at the far end of the river, her face is shadowed by the tree, the leaves leave patterns on her body, Gohan lets the feeling of the water become one with him, videl doesn’t move, suddenly a few birds begin to perch upon the tree that videl is underneath, a crack is heard, videl notices the crack but doesn’t move, the birds jump off the tree as it begins to fall into the water, videl opens her eyes and gasps, tries to block the tree’s path but gets hit, Gohan feels the wave of the tree, gets up from the water and realizes what’s happened)

Gohan-“videl (notices the tree) VIDEL” (he swims over to the crash site, brings himself to land and pulls the tree straight upwards, he sees videl lying unconscious under the thing, he throws it into the distance and goes to comfort her, he lifts her out of the water and quickly gets her to land, he checks her pulse and heartbeat, it’s thinning, he tries to get her going again)

(He puts his hands upon her rib cage and gently forces himself on them to try and get her to breath properly, he finds it difficult to hold back his strength so tries something else, he remembers a little shock technique piccolo used and tries it, he shocks videl but only slightly, it doesn’t seem to help much, he wonders what to do so he opens her mouth and performs CPR on her, checks her heart again, performs it more, this continues for a few tries until videl spurts out water from her mouth, she coughs heavily, Gohan looks relieved, videl sits up and coughs more, she looks at Gohan with one eye)

Videl-“now that’s three things I owe ya, thanks a lot Gohan”

Gohan-“it was nothing, really”

Videl-“save a girls life three times and you don’t consider yourself a hero”

Gohan-(lifts her to her feet) “lets get you back to my place, my mom will get you some new clothes”

Videl-“thanks”

(So they walk off side by side, into the forest once again and into the day)

END OF PART 2

PART 3 – Fate draws us closer

(Videl sits on a couch with a blanket wrapped round her Chi-Chi walks through with a bowl of soup and give it to videl)

Videl-“thanks” (tastes the soup) “wow, this is great”

Chi chi-“thank you it’s my own combination, ox tail soup mixed with potatoes”

Videl-“well it tastes great”

Chi-chi-(pauses as videl eats the soup, she smiles at videl) “so I heard Gohan saved you from drowning today”

Videl-“yeah, a tree fell on me, he performed CPR”

Chi chi-(chuckling) “are you sure you didn’t let him”

Videl-“Miss Chi-Chi please”

Chi chi-“oh I’m sorry, it’s just hard to imagine that you of all people could nearly drown like that”

Videl-“well it was a big tree, where is Gohan anyway”

Chi chi-“oh he’s in his room, he’s searching for something, he said he needed to show you it”

Videl-“cool, wonder what it could be”

Chi chi-(thinking to herself) “if I know Gohan, he’s probably searching for one of those home movies him and his dad used to make”

Videl-“I didn’t know you had a camera”

Chi chi-“well it’s a friend of ours really but its always handy, do you want me to go get him”

Videl-“sure”

Chi chi-“Gohan” (walks through to Gohan’s room, shuts the door behind her) “Gohan, its not polite to leave guests waiting, especially young girls”

Gohan-(searching his closet) “in a seck mom, I’m sure I put this thing somewhere”

Chi chi-“well once your ready you should go out and see her, she’s really anxious to see you”

Gohan-(looking at chi-chi) “what’re you suggesting mom”

Chi-chi-“come now, you can’t tell that she likes you, surely by now you’ve started to realize there’s a connection”

Gohan-“listen, me and videl aren’t like that, she’s just someone who wanted to train with me, learn some of our secrets”

Chi-chi-“sounds like love to me”

Gohan-(videl is listening in on their conversation from outside) “how many times do I have to tell you it’s not like that, were not a couple so why not just leave us be”

Chi-chi-“oh alright” (videl goes to sit down again, laughing a little bit)

Gohan-“GOT IT” (Gohan finds a videotape, he trips over a pair of old skates and falls, the entire cabinet collapses on him, videl enters the room to see what happened)

Videl-“whoa, landslide”

Chi-chi-“videl look, Gohan was so desperate to find this little videotape the world around him began to collapse” (they both laugh at his misfortune, chi-chi begins to leave the room) “I’ll leave you two alone” (turns back and looks at Gohan) “oh and Gohan, when your done making out, clean up this mess” (closes the door behind her, Gohan goes red in the face with anger and embarrassment, videl laughs at the color of his skin)

(Gohan clambers out of the mess and gets to his feet)

Videl-“so what was it you wanted to show me”

Gohan-“I thought it’d be a good idea if we watched some of my dads old fighting videos, that way you can learn a few new moves”

Videl-“sure”

Gohan-“oh I better clean this up” (looks at the mess) “hey look a spider” (videl turns round going where, where, Gohan quickly cleans his room up at light speed, videl turns round) “finished”

Videl-“hey, how did you get it done so fast?”

Gohan-“maybe you were daydreaming again”

Videl-“hmm, maybe”

(A few hours go by Gohan sits on a chair next to his bed as videl lays back on top of his bed looking out towards the TV screen, Gohan flicks through some actions)

Gohan-“now keep watching, this is from the 23rd martial arts tournament, that’s my dad fighting a guy known as Tien, he’s really skilled but not as good as my dad”

Videl-“wow, they’re fast”

Gohan-“yeah, look at them go”

Videl-“I didn’t realize your dad was so cute when he was your age, I see now where you get it from”

Gohan-(blushes) “I guess, now observe the way my dad uses his footwork, many people believe the faster the first the better the chances but footwork is important in a fight” (another hour goes by and Gohan takes a break from watching the TV, he yawns) “man I didn’t realize this was so long I’m really sorry”

Videl-“that’s ok, hey you wanna lie down, you look tired”

Gohan-“now that you mention it I do feel really sleepy”

Videl-(gets up from the bed) “here, just take a rest, while I just go grab something” (she leaves the room, Gohan yawns once more, climbs onto his bed and shuts his eyes, as the night draws closer to a halt, the young super saijan falls fast asleep under the stars)

(As the morning dawn comes in, Gohan begins to open his eyes, he yawns a little more, looks at his clock, 11 am, he rubs his eyes and curls his body up to the left hand side of him, his arm seems kinda jammed against something so he tries moving it, it feels like a dead arm so he opens his eyes and there’s videl laying there with her head across his arm underneath a pillow, Gohan closes his eyes once more and lets out a smile, about 5 seconds later he realizes that videl’s there and lets out a strong gasp, he removes his arm and falls off the bed frame, videl begins to wake up)

Videl-“morning”

Gohan-(gasping for air in shock) “huh…….”

Videl-“what’s wrong”

Gohan-“um……is there a reason why your still here”

Videl-“oh right, well you fell asleep”

Gohan-(pauses) “and……..”

Videl-“well, when you fell asleep I felt kinda tired, and I didn’t feel like going home so I looked for a place to sleep, I couldn’t find one so I slept here, I hope you don’t mind”

Gohan-(gets up, gets kinda strange at this moment) “mind, why would I mind, you fell asleep, in my bed, while I was still there, its no big deal hahahahahahaha!!!”

Videl-“hey are you okay”

Gohan-“oh I’m fine, I just never expected to wake up like that, I mean it was kinda surprising”

Videl-“listen, if it makes you feel any better, I had a really nice rest, you have a really comfortable figure”

Gohan-“oh well that makes everything different doesn’t it, Gohan, the man with the pillow like features”

Videl-“look if it bothers you that much I’ll leave”

Gohan - (Thinks to himself for a moment, tries to come out of embarrassment) “no don’t go I’m sorry, I was just freaked out a little bit” (videl gets up from the bed and walks over to him)

Videl-“wow some two days, I owe you another one”

Gohan-“please you don’t have to owe me anything”

Videl-“well I’m a woman of my word so lets see, what can I do to repay you” (thinks to herself for a second, Gohan closes his eyes and sighs, Videl kisses him on the cheek, Gohan goes red) “that’ll do for one, see you at breakfast” (videl walks out of the room, Gohan rubs his cheek thinking to himself what just happened)

END OF PART 3

[gokuromario]

PART 4 – Everyone gets suspicious

(A day or two later Videl is back in school studying, the teacher goes on about constant dribble while videl nearly drifts off, suddenly something hits her in the head, she looks up and there’s the blonde girl she hangs out with waving back, she is wearing her usual green tube top and makes a gesture saying open, open, videl looks down at her lap and there is a piece of paper, she slowly unfolds it and reads it to herself)

Note 1-“so videl, where’ve you been, I’ve missed you” (videl quickly scribbles down something on the back)

Videl note 1-“nowhere, just training with Gohan and his little brother, were getting ready for a big tournament” (she passes it quietly, few minutes later another note is passed to her)

Note 2-“what’re you doing training with Gohan I thought you were searching for the great Saijaman”

Videl note 2–“oh he’s old news, I’ve got bigger things in mind”

Note 3-(a minute after that another note is passed) “like what”

Videl 3-“I just told you, the martial arts tournament in a month”

Note 4-“oh, I thought it was something more important”

Videl 4-“what’s that supposed to mean”

Note 5-“well I thought you were just using that excuse to get closer to you know who”

Videl 5-“no my dad’s got his own plans for training”

Note 6-“I’m not talking about that, I was talking about……….you know”

Videl 6-“Gohan, why would I want to get closer to him”

Note 7-“admit it videl, we all know you like him”

Videl 7-“well he’s nice but what were doing is for training only”

Note 8-“I’ll bet, what kind of training is he putting you through”

Videl 8-“oh the usual, he’s teaching me how to focus my energy and learn how to fly”

Note 9-“well the energy thing I agree with but come on, there’s no one in the world that’s able to fly”

Videl 9-“well you’ll just have to wait and see I guess” (a few minutes go by and still no new notes, videl puts her head back down and suddenly a new note is received)

Note 10-(reading it) “as long as he’s available mind if I ask him out”

Videl 10-“who sharpener”

Note 11-“no way, I was talking about Gohan”

Videl 11-“why”

Note 12-“well your not going out with him, and he is cute so………”

Videl 12- (gets a little frustrated, writes in big bold letters) “JUST STAY AWAY FROM HIM OK, I DON’T NEED YOU DISTRACTING HIM FROM TEACHING ME HOW TO FLY”

Note 13-“alright, alright, man, I didn’t know you were so uptight about it, fine I’ll stay away but as soon as he becomes available he’s mine”

Videl 13-“give it a rest will ya”

(Back at the mountain, Gohan trains with gotten peacefully, they spar together in the air, as they spar, chi-chi comes along with drinks for both of them)

chi-chi - (looking up) “boys, come down, I’ve got drinks for both of you”

(Gohan and Goten stop training and float down)

Goten-“thanks mom” (takes his drink and begins sipping it, gohan’s about to take his when chi-chi grabs his hand and pulls him to talk to his ear)

Chi-chi-“so, you mind explaining to me why videl still in the house at dawn”

Gohan - (trying to keep it quiet) “she slept over ok”

Chi-chi-“where did she sleep”

Gohan-“she uh…well…uh”

Goten - (removing the straw from his mouth) “in gohan’s room” (Gohan turns round in amazement that Goten knew that)

Gohan - (getting nervous) “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT”

Goten-“I heard you two talking at night”

Gohan-“you were still awake then”

Goten-“the walls in my room are paper thin, I couldn’t stand it”

Chi-chi-“Gohan, is this true”

Gohan - (becoming really agitated) “no it’s not true, mother, why would you think that, it’s not true at all, she left before we had a chance to finish”

Goten-“no she didn’t”

Gohan - (quietly to Goten) “shut up”

Goten - (looking confused) “but I saw her, she went into the kitchen to grab some water then went back into your room and she never left”

Gohan - (grabs Goten by the head to stop him from talking) “Goten you trickster, you’re just trying to get me into trouble again, he always does this mom I’m really, really sorry, sorry, I’m sorry, sorry”

Chi-chi - (getting confused) “let Goten speak” (Gohan shakes his head) “NOW GOHAN” (gohan lets go of goten) “now goten, what was it you were about to say”

Goten – “well that’s about it except, well, I woke up early today and I went to see if gohan was ready to train and I saw videl lying next to him in bed” (gohan slaps himself in the head while chi-chi gives out a giggle)

Chi-chi-“aw that’s so sweet, I didn’t know you two were that close gohan”

Gohan-“ok I’ll admit she slept in my bed but its not what you think, you see we were watching that home video of dad and I lay down to rest during it, I must’ve dosed off and the next morning I just found videl lying there next to me, she told me she couldn’t find a place to sleep and well (getting embarrassed) she said she felt more comfortable with me”

Goten - (goten suddenly puts his head on gohan’s stomach, gohan leans back a little) “hmm, actually this does feel sorta nice” (gohan pushes him away)

Chi-chi-“well that settles it”

Gohan-“settles what”

Chi-chi-“don’t you worry gohan I’ll take care of everything” (she runs off in a hurry back towards the house, gohan catches his drink as it flies through the air)

Gohan-“oh man, what is she up to”

END OF PART 4

[gokuromario]

PART 5 – Love at no sight

(Later that day, Videl bids goodbye to her dad who is addressing some young fans, she heads over to gohan’s on her hovercraft, she begins to think about the day she had)

Videl-“man, that girl, who does she think she is, gohan’s mi…I mean, he’s my training partner, I don’t want her grimy little S+M fingers all over what I’ve worked hard to gain, maybe I should stop thinking, one, two, three, there we go”

(Gohan and Goten return back to their house to find it all decorated from top to bottom, Chi-Chi comes out carrying mountains of decorations, she stops when she sees the two boys)

Chi-chi-“hey boys, like what I’ve done with the place”

Gohan-“mom, just what the hell are you doing”

Chi-chi-“oh just decorating, no one likes a boring old cottage house do they”

Gohan-“does this have anything to do with what I told you”

Chi-chi-“oh no, not at all (pauses) ok it has everything to do with it, I’m sorry gohan I just couldn’t help myself”

Gohan-“listen mom, your going a bit insane over this, you should lie down” (chi-chi drops the decorations in anger, she walks over to gohan who begins to cower away a little bit, she grabs him by the ear and drags him inside, she slams the door and some of the decorations start to fall, goten grabs them and tries to pin them back up)

Gohan-“JUST WHAT ARE YOU DOING MOM”

Chi-chi-“listen gohan, I didn’t want to have to do this but you leave me no choice”

Gohan-“what are you talking about?”

Chi-chi - (getting sympathetic) “listen gohan, you’ve been training with videl for about 2 weeks now and it’s pretty obvious you two like each other”

Gohan-“yeah maybe we do but that doesn’t mean you have to go make a parade about it”

Chi-chi-“oh gohan, I only want what’s best for you”

Gohan-“then stop doing all this, it’s driving me nuts”

Chi-chi-“no, I wont stop, not until you two are together”

Gohan-“have you ever took the time to think about what your doing and realize that there’s nothing between me and videl, she doesn’t even like me that much” (chi-chi slaps him) “what was that for”

Chi-chi-“that’s a fricken and you know it, if she wasn’t interested then she would never have tried to get your attention, doesn’t it seem strange to you that the only thing in the world a girl who tried to find out your super hero identity wants is to learn how to fly”

Gohan-“it’s true, that’s all she wants”

Chi-chi-“oh really, well answer me this, if she’s so interested in learning how to fly, why did she cut her hair even though she thought you insulted her, came back the next day, nearly drowned twice, stayed and watched a bunch of old home movies in your room and stayed the night lying next to you in your bed, explain to me how interested she is in flying”

Gohan-“well…I…I…don’t know”

Chi-chi-“she wants closer to you gohan, she wants to know what you love and hate, she wants to know if there’s a chance for you two, and you know why, because she’s under the impression that her father defeated cell all those years ago and she wants to find out the truth, and she’s impressed by your strength, that’s why she likes you”

Gohan-“wait, how do you know all that”

Chi-chi-“I once had a little chat with her and she didn’t admit it but it was going that way, she likes you gohan and Its foolish trying to deny it, so I’m trying to get the truth from you two as soon as possible”

Gohan-“look, maybe there is something between us but what’s the rush”

Chi-chi-“oh there’s no rush, I just want to make sure there isn’t a lie going round for the rest of your lives, I just wanna make sure that there isn’t a situation where one of you gets pulled up by someone else’s car, asked to spend the day with them while the other one gets jealous, do you see where I’m going with this”

Gohan - (gives in) “fine, what’s your plan”

Chi-chi-“sit down and I’ll tell you”

END OF PART 5

[gokuromario]

PART 6 – THE END

(About an hour later, the sun starts to set, videl begins to make her descent into the forest, she steps out of the machine and looks around, there’s no one to be found, she walks down to gohan’s house, it begins to get dark and she can barely see, suddenly a bunch of lights come up, revealing the house, its covered in lights and decorations, there is a table in the middle of the garden, goten stands in some weird outfit, he switches on a tape player and this sensual music begins to play)

Chi-chi - (from inside the house) “alright, she’s there the lights are up and the music is playing, 5 seconds and its your cue gohan”

Gohan - (in a suit) “are you sure about this, what if she hates it”

Chi-chi-“if I know videl she won’t hate it, (stares out the window) look, she’s already looking at the dinner table and she’s reading the name cards”

Gohan-“oh mom, you didn’t”

Chi-chi-“you bet I did, now get out there, and win her heart” (gohan sighs, he puts his hand on the doorknob, turns it and walks out, closes the door behind him, videl looks at him and smiles, gohan walks over to her)

Videl - (folding her arms, speaks in a sly way) “so…what’s this about?”

Gohan-“I, uh, thought it would be nice if we had a little dinner, you’ve been working really hard lately so I’ve decided to throw a little celebration in honor of your development”

Videl-“that’s so sweet, and I didn’t even get dressed up”

Gohan - (looking at her) “you look great to me”

Videl-“thanks” (nearly takes a seat, gohan walks round and pulls her chair out, then she sits, he sits on the opposite end) “what a gentlemen”

Gohan-“yeah, I just finished proper dining lessons this morning, thought I’d try them out” (videl giggles, goten comes over with a menu, videl laughs once again)

Goten-“good evening ladies and gentlemen, tonight the special is last nights special which is ox tail soup for starters, for main meals there shall be roast boar followed by a delightful truffle, would either of you like some lemonade” (videl laughs at the attempt, gohan looks embarrassed, goten pours some into gohan’s cup) “the gentlemen is looking fine this evening” (goes over to videl) “but not as fine as the lovely lady he is dining with” (kisses her hand, gohan grabs him)

Gohan-“I’m already humiliated enough, you don’t need to make this into an epic”

Goten-“but of course” (leaves)

Gohan-“I’m so sorry, my mother organized this whole thing, she thinks there’s something going on between us”

Videl-“what makes her say that?”

Gohan-“oh little things you know”

Videl-“like what”

Gohan-“oh lets say, the fact that you seem more interested in spending time here than learning to fly, the fact that you stayed over last night, you know that kind of stuff”

Videl-“and what makes you think it’s not true”

Gohan-“well, because it’s you I mean, you’re always so serious, I wouldn’t have thought of these things as much less than just false impressions”

Videl-“ok” (thinking to herself) “what if I were to say that what your mother thought is right, that there is something between us, what would you say to that”

Gohan-“well at first I wouldn’t believe you” (looks at her, she makes a really sweet face) “at least, not until I stare deeply into your eyes and find out what your truly thinking”

Videl-“and what do you think I’m thinking”

Gohan-“judging from the way your looking at me, well, it’s hard to say, you could just be playing a trick but by the way I see it…its so much more”

Videl-“go on”

Gohan-“I don’t really know what to think anymore, the impressions your giving suggests that but what if I’m just leading myself into false hope” (looks down) “or maybe, this was meant to be”

Videl-(pauses, looks up to the sky) “beautiful night isn’t it” (gohan looks up too, videl gets up from her chair and goes over to gohan, she takes his hand) “listen, there’s music playing so lets dance ok”

Gohan-“sure”

(Gohan and videl both get up together, they stand in the middle of the green, videl puts her hand on gohan’s shoulder, places his hand on her side, takes his other hand and they begin to dance, chi-chi and goten stare through the window)

Chi-chi-“that’s it gohan, a one, two, three, one, two…”

Videl - (as there dancing) “you’re good at this”

Gohan-“thanks you too”

Videl - (brings herself closer into gohan’s body) “you know, this was the last thing I was expecting tonight but I’m glad it’s happening”

Gohan-“in a way I feel the same”

Videl-“gohan, do you like me”

Gohan-“in what way”

Videl-“like more than a partner in training, more than a friend”

Gohan-“well, I’m not sure, it’s kinda complicated”

Videl - (brings her arms round gohan’s neck) “wow, this feels really great, last night I felt comfortable lying next to you but I didn’t realize you had a magic touch on the dance floor as well”

Gohan-“videl, there’s something I need to tell you, I…”

Videl - (puts her finger to his lips) “no need to explain just enjoy the music”

(As the stars shine and the music plays away, gohan and videl cherish this moment, when the music starts to fade, videl moves her head into gohan’s sight, she looks into his eyes deeply, and they both stare for a few seconds, draw closer to one another, stop dancing for the moment and share a kiss)

Chi-chi-“well goten, when your old enough were gonna have to find you a girl”

(Gohan and videl praise this moment, because it’s true love’s first kiss)

[gokuromario]

yeah well he was teaching videl how to hunt, and to put an old thing out of its misery is a noble act
