Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ A Minds Want, A Hearts Desire ❯ Satan's Desir ( Chapter 2 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

HELLO, Fellow readers and writers! Today, before I start today's chapter I would like to give you all a little lesson on what I call 'The Coward' and today I have a prime example. ^^

The following review has been submitted to: A Minds Want, A Hearts Desire Chapter: 1

From: Burendas-stalker

"And second, it also shrinks the testis."rnrnWell, you remembered so much from health class but apparently you didn't remember how to spell 'testes' you fuckwit. Man, that ruined the whole fucking line, a guy not knowing how to fucking spell his own organ. Fucking retard. rnrnFuck. It's 'per se', by learning fucking French and English why don't you learn the bare essentials of Latin too? Or else, don't fucking use Latin phrases. rnrnGoddamn assfuck you DID NOT create the dragonball concept, neither do you have any fucking rights over it. So how can you fucking say no characters will be 'OOC' because you want to fucking depicts them the way you WANTED them to be. Fucking asshole, that's the whole fucking concept behind 'OOC', putting your own spin on a pre-existing character. You fucking japanese are so inclined to fucking copy because of your lax copyright laws that you fucking make up your own little shit and try to pass it off as legitimate. rnrn"Ok in this fic, th! ere will

be no, I repeat NO OOC, but I'm going to portray 'certain' characters, the way I think they should have been. Not the way they were messed up. "rnrnNot the way they were messed up? Who fucking gave you the right to say a character was messed up or not? You free-loading motherfuckers display absolute disregard for Toriyama and how he has developed HIS fucking characters. They aren't fucking messed up, they turned out JUST how Toriyama wanted them to. If you don't fucking like it, create your OWN fucking anime and do whateve the fuck you want with your OWN characters. Some motherfuckers take the concept of 'FANfiction' to the extreme, extreme enough to assert their own opinion of a character as canon. rnStop making these fucking degrading and fallacious statements because quite frankly, it's a blatant screw-job to Akira and his characters. You fucking want Gohan to train during the seven years after Cell? Fucking idiot, that's 'OOC' in of itself. rnrnThe grammar can ! be

forgiven, the fucking dogmatic assertations cannot. You fuckers are the dregs of the literary world.


Ok, first of all before I start the lesson. I would like to thank this reviewer for boosting my word count. lol Second, for correcting some of my poorly missed mistakes. And third for pointing out how truly rude, overbearing, and closed minded some people are. And how some people can take things WAY too seriously. Story's like this are meant for pure enjoyment of the reader, not for closed minded fools. Or if you speak Japanese like myself, its known as…BAKA! Which you are a prime first class example of. Word of advice buddy, CHILL OUT! You sound like your going to pop a blood vessel! Man I hope you didn't have an aneurysm while you went on your little rampage. lol And if you don't like people depicting characters the way they want to, why in world are you even on this site you retard.

Ok class, look at this specimen very closely now. Look at how he uses the word 'fuck' over and over again. This truly is the mark of a true literary genius don't you think?

Example two: look at the use of content and even some of the nonexistent words that don't even exist. Now that's classy! This; truly shows how refined and posed this person is. Doesn't he have a wonderful vocabulary? lol. This is defiantly the type of person you want to be taking grammar skills from folks.

In my opinion, people like these don't deserve the right to criticize anyone's work, especially when they have NO work of their own. This is the basic skill that all flamers have, which is to criticize peoples work when they have non of their own. And you know what, I would love to see this person study 10 different languages before they are even 17 'I'm 16' and not have ever made a single mistake in an English fic, which is quite hard mind you, especially for a two year student like myself.

I'd like to see this jackass study Japanese for only two years and see if he fairs as well. When this person can say that he can and has done that, PLUS write his own fics. Then that's when I'll welcome their criticism. But obviously all he has time to do is flame other peoples work And another thing, I can take flames and I can take criticism. But your very last statement was directed to this entire community. And that is something I will not stand for. How dare you even have the audacity to say such a thing. For that, you really have no right to be here. This is a place for readers and writers to have fun and write what they feel. SO What the hell are you even doing on this site if you feel that way, you moron. For someone who feels so strongly about such matters, you certainly went through a lot of trouble to make up an account. And if you hated my fic that much, why the hell did you even read the whole damn thing O.o And at the end that's all the crap you could come up with? lol I laugh in your face. ^^ And If I were you I wouldn't use that account anymore. You probably have already angered some people, and I even know of some. And I'm sure they wont hesitate to send you a virus you inconsiderate bastard. Your lucky I don't report you for that statement alone you pathetic excuse for a flamer, why don't you go and get a dictionary because you certainly need it. If your going to flam, at least try and do it right. try investing some of that well spent extra time on you hands into going out and buying a dictionary, because you really seem to need it with all those false accusations and definitions you keep making. And while your doing that why not go to a place where you can grow a brain. You rude, crude, egotistical, pompous, jackass! And how the hell do you know what laws there in Japan you dumbass, why not try living there before you start lecturing me on laws that I grew up with...BAKA! I swear, there really are some stupid people in this world…~shakes head~

If there was one thing I have learned it's this, and this goes more so for the new and inexperienced writers. For one, PLEASE never let jerks, or as I call them 'cowards' get to you. I have seen so many brilliant writers lose their confidence in their writing abilities because of people like these. And two, they always flame the best writers anyway. =P

A Note from the Beta-reader: Hello, Chibi pretty much said everything that needed to be said, however I feel as if I should say a few things as well. As the beta-reader, it is my job to find mistakes and correct them before the fic is published. There is nothing wrong with changing how a character acts in a work of fiction. I think that you need to invest some money into the wonderful invention that I refer to as Webster's…or more commonly a dictionary. First, "testis" is correct. I'm quoting Webster here…(page 1383 of the Third College Edition if you were wondering) "Testis (tes`tis) n., pl. -tes' (-tex`) [L] TESTICLE" in case you can't read that, it says the noun, plural form of testicle. Another word, that I felt compelled to provide the definition for, (again quoting Webster) "fiction (fik`shen) n. 1. A making up of imaginary happenings; feigning. 2. Anything made up or imagined, as a statement, story, ect." So…by definition, this fanfiction must be different from the "true" timeline and story/plot. And like Chibi said, if you know this, and still hate it, then what the hell are you doing here? Thank you for reading this, I am ending this now, only because I am sure that you all are sick of this flame flaming the flamer, and would like to continue to the fic now, by all means go ahead, (It's great by the way!)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Ok now that that's taken care of…OMG! I'm still in shock as to how many reviews this got…WOW! Thank you guys so much, this is awesome! lol ok about updates, I usually update btw 1 - 4 weeks depending on how bad my writers block is lol. And for those of you that thought that the start of this fic was similar to destiny 'like my fav fic' yes it is, that story inspired the Beginning of this. But I can assure you, that this story will be different. As you could tell, by the end of the chapter or even the middle rather, the fic had taken on a character of its own. I will try to continue originality as best I can. You guys aren't the only one who dislikes clichés you know lol.

Q&A - And some of asked me to not put in the Saiyaman saga, and after much consideration and thought, I have decided to concede to some of the readers desires. Although the Saiyaman saga was a big part of this story, I found something even better to put in its place. So I guess I should be thanking you SomeAznGuy67, SerpentTreize
lol.

For those of you that didn't know who lime was, she was the girl that Gohan saved from the river right before the cell games. Her grandfather was the store keeper of the store that Gohan went buy spices from. He isn't really her real grandfather, but he kind of adopts her. For those of you that have only seen the American versions on cartoon network and not the original. The episode aired around mid 2000, and it was Dragonball Z Episode 155 - A girl named Lime. You can also download that episode from Kazaa if you would like, I'm on all the time.

Ok I'm going to give you all a heads up and let you know that this is the first song chapter, so I thought you might want to download it.

Okay…now that that's all taken care of…ON WITH THE STORY!

Disclaimer: I do not own the song Have you ever by Brandy, and I Do Not own Dbz, but it doesn't hurt to dream now does it! ^^

Warnings!: NC-17, Descriptions of sexual orientation. Sexual orientation, talk of bodily functions, talk of puberty and maybe a swear or two. =P If this offends you, please turn back now.

Archive: SURE! no problem, just let me know where so I can add it to my links lol





A Minds Want, A Hearts Desire






Chapter 2 ~Satan's Blessing~





"Hey Baba, please come on in!" Chichi said happy, letting in the ancient woman.

"I hope this isn't getting to be a habit Chichi, This is the 5th time this month. I Hope you haven't said anything that would jeopardize his future with her, did you?" The old woman stared at her.

~Flashback~

"HAVE A WOUNDERFULL FIRST DAY GOHAN!" she called out as he flew through the air. "AND REMEMBER I WANT GRANDCHILDREN!"

~End Flashback~

"I…Uh…NO of course not why ever would I do that." She said nervously.

"Are you sure…" She said rising her almost nonexistent eyebrow. "Well if you're sure…"

"All right, all right enough with the chatter, and more with insight. C'MON! I wanna see my babies future!"

"Yea…well there won't be one if you don't shut your yap." Baba said truing to gaze into crystal ball.

"What was that!?"

"Nothing Chichi." She gazed into her ball, saying weird chants "Damn Banshee…" Chichi hared her with her Namekian sensitive ears, and sent poor Baba flying outside the door.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They just finished dropping off Sharpner, and now it was Erasa's stop next. Videl hesitantly gave her the front seat, It was her stop next after all. They drove down they long asphalt path, blocking out all the gawking faces as they passed by. Gohan glanced in the rearview mirror, just watching contentedly as he gazed to into pools of lavender ecstasy, his eyes dropped lower to her full and luscious lips. And then he went lower…and lower…

"GOHAN! WATCH THE ROAD!" Lime yelled from the back seat, jumping to the front to hold the wheel, so that they wouldn't swerve and crash into the other cars.

"Sorry…I got a little distracted…" He said with a pink tinge on his cheeks.

'I bet you were…' Lime chucked to herself.

They pulled into a road that read Terrace Heights. And they turned into a long paved driveway where an Italian villa laid at the end.

"This is my stop!" She said getting out of the hot red car.

"Mine to, thanks you guys!" Lime said getting out after Erasa. Erasa turned to face Lime. She didn't know what the heck she was doing. 'Hum…she never comes by, I wonder what's going on ?' Lime gave her a quick glance and winked at her. Erasa just nodded in understanding.

"I have to work on… a project with Erasa. I'll see you guys at school tomorrow okay, bye!" she said waving back to them.

"Okay see you guys later!" Gohan said backing up. They turned and waved back to them before they pulled out of the driveway.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She stared at him, watching his every movement. She heard the purring of the engine, as he downshifted, his foot in tune with the movements his hand made. Her eyes widened as she watched his muscles flex. Her hands unconsciously moving down into her inner thigh as she watched him move. You could hear the sounds of the gears changing as he double clutched, she found it all to intoxicating that she nearly leaned over to give him a passionate kiss. But she caught herself before he could notice.

He took a glance at her, wanting to move his hand off the shift and onto her thigh. He gulped as watched her long legs flex, her toned legs move with her uneasiness. To intoxicated with the goddess before him, he didn't know he was driving on the wrong lane.

"GOHAN!" She shouted, pointing to the road.

"Huh…What….O CRAP!" You could hear the sounds of the beeping cars that passed by, making obscene hand gestures.

"Sorry about that…got a little distracted." He said with obvious nervousness, his cheeks turning somewhat pink. Suddenly silence hit them, the foreboding feeling of silence…is there anything worse.

'Please say something…anything but this.' Gohan's thoughts rolled around his head. Telling him that he should say something, but what was the question?

"So…" Gohan said looking at view of the road.

"So…" Videl said taping her fingers on her thigh as she stretched her feet out. "Gohan, I want to ask you something…"

"Yea, sure." Gohan glanced at her with an eye.

"Gohan, please tell me. Are you the Gold fighter?" She said, almost pleading to him.

"Why would I be the Gold…Fighter." Gohan said nervously.

"Gohan please, this goes far more the just curiosity. I have to know, so much is on the line. I must know who he is. And there is just too much to prove its you, there is just too much evidence that points to you, for it to just be a coincidence. So please, you have to tell me. Please…"

"Videl…" He pondered her pleading question for a moment. 'I want to tell you Videl, more then you will ever know…but I just can't…there is to much at stake on my part as well…'

"Videl…I…" She looked at him. "I…am…" 'Yes…YES! SAY IT DAMN IT! JUST SAY IT!.' Her mind cursed. "I am… Not the Gold Fighter." He turned to her, seeing a slight tear in her eyes that nearly ripped his soul to shreds. 'Why wont you just tell me the truth…I WILL get the truth out of you yet Son Gohan, you'll see…'

The glare that she was giving him sent shivers down his spin, he didn't know what to do from the state of disarray he was in. He just turned and gulped as he looked onto the road.

"Gohan! Will you stop lying! I tried to ask nicely about it, but you insist on lying about it. Gohan, I know you're the Gold fighter! And I plan to prove it, no matter how long it takes! Do you understand me…" She said glaring at him. He just gulped again and stared at the road. As if trying to avert his sight from her eyes. 'This can't be good.'

"Videl…There is so much you don't know about me, so much I want to tell you, so much I can't tell you…" He said keeping his eyes on the road, too afraid to see the look she was probably giving him.

"That doesn't answer my question…" She said putting her hands at her hips, glaring death at him.

He grunted and opened one of the buttons of his shirt, swiveling his collar around his neck. "Hey…um why don't we see what's on the radio huh…" He said not even looking at her. 'He can't even look at me…Huh…I WONDER WHY!' She said to herself, the statement oozing with sarcasm.

Gohan leaned over and pressed one of the many buttons. 'Car Radio' "Hey! How'ya doin yall, in this glorious sunny afternoon! Nice day for a drive with top down don'cha think. Well This is DJ Smith, and this next song is for all yall love birds out there that need a little push…haha c'mon yall know who you are…" The voice of the man tapered off and was replaced with the notes of a song.

The last sentence caught Videl's ear, she began to calm down as the melody of the song seemed to pierce through her soul.

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Gohan took a glance at her eye's, seeing the same pain he felt, mirrored within her. He didn't know why she looked the way he felt, but all he wanted to do was hold her and give her comfort.

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for the words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

'Why do I feel this way…Do I really love him…Do I Videl Satan…Love this person that I have just met…Could I?'

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Gohan took one second to glance at her from the corner of his eye, and went back to looking at the road. 'She looks so beautiful…I don't know how…Why…or when, but you are the woman of my dreams…I just…Want to be with you so much but I just don't know how to say it…'

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care

She watched him drive, her mind fantasizing. 'Gohan…I don't how…But I feel like I've known you forever, not just one day…and I feel like…like…I just hope you feel the same way…'

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

'Videl…I wish I could just tell you how I feel…Tell you how I want to hold you for all eternity…'

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep

'Gohan…I need you so much…I want you so much…'

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

'Yes…'
'Yes…'

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

'I…Videl Satan love…YOU Son Gohan.'
'I…Son Gohan love…YOU Videl Satan.'

The music tapered off, each of them gazing into the eye's of the other that sat next to them. Videl had forgotten that she was even remotely angry at him. All she could see was those beautiful obsidian orbs that were beacons of shining light in the darkness, calling her, leading her to paradise. They were too indulged in there own Shangri-La's, that they didn't even know that they had reached their destination. They broke their gazes, and realized that they had been parked outside the sparkling white mansion for almost five minutes.

Realizing this, Gohan jumped out of his seat and ran to open the door for her. He held out his hand, like the true gentleman he was. And bowed as she got out. Slowly kissing her back palm as she stood up.

"Why, thank you kind sir." She giggled and walked up the stairs of the opulent home.

"My pleasure, My lady." He said with a British accent. He stood there, grinning at her.

"Well, are you just going to stand there, or are you going to walk me to the door?" Gohan ran up to her, giving her one of his arms.

"Would you like to met papa? You guys can talk about martial arts and stuff."

"Yea sure, why not. I'd love to talk to the great Hurcule Satan." He said sarcastically towards the end. She didn't know why, but she just let it go in one ear and out the other. Not even bothering to contemplate the hidden meaning behind it. "Yea, there's tons of things we can talk about…" He said grinning with an all to obvious smirk on his face. 'The Cell Games sounds like a good topic…'

The walked into the spacious room, Gohan was stunned to see that the moron known as savior had such good taste in art. 'Hum…must have a decorator.' Then he heard the thundering foot steps of a man with an afro, and who's bark was a lot worse then his bit…many, many times over.

"VIDEL! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY!" He said running down the marble spiraled staircase.

"I just came from school dad, so CHILL! Just go talk to Gohan while I go get changed okay." She said waving back to Gohan and running up the stairs.

"WHO IS THIS KID! What have I told you about you and boys… huh! They have to be stronger then me if you want to date them! Where is this kid!" He said shouting to his daughter while stomping down the stairs. He was planning on showing this kid a thing or two…

"I'M NOT DATING HIM DAD!" 'Not yet anyway…' She said grinning to herself as he walked into her room. "AND YOU BETTER BE NICE AND GIVE HIM A HANDSHAKE AND OFFER HIM A DRINK! I'LL BE DOWN IN A SEC, AND I BETTER FIND YOU BEING NICE OR ELSE!"

"Fine…" He did as he was asked and walked over to Gohan, giving him the once over. He gave Gohan his hand. He thought that if he was going to have to be nice, he might as well have fun and show off all his strength when he shook his hand. And a billion to one says that's probably why he did what was asked of him in the first place. Anything for an image…

'I'll have a little fun and make him cry when I shake his hand…that way Videl can see how week he is…hehe this is going to be fun…'

"Well who the hell are you kid? You little pip-squeak, do you have any idea who I am!" He said shacking his hand, trying to squeeze as hard as he could. Gohan just laughed to himself. 'You call that a handshake…' 'What the hell is with this kid…?! He should be crying by now!'

"I am Hercule Satan! The savior…"

"OF his own ass…"

"What the hell did you just say! You damn pip-squeak, I can crush you!" Gohan put the slightest amount of pressure on the grip of Hecule's hand, which sent him to his knees. Hercule's eye's nearly popped out of its sockets from the pressure that dissipated throughout his body. Gohan was surprised to see how really fragile he was, he didn't expect him to be this week. But then again, most cowards are.

"What the hell! What are you!" Hercule said struggling to keep his composure, even from the floor.

"No, I'm afraid, It… is I who can crush you. I can crush you like a bug you are, you insignificant fool."

"WHAT ARE YOU!" Hercule said, kneeling on floor, nearly crying from the pain on his hand.

"Look at you, you're pathetic. I didn't even put much of anything into that so called manly handshake of yours. And that's just in my normal state." Gohan said glaring death at him.

"N…Normal… s…st…state?" Hercule said, cradling his hand like a baby on the floor.

"Yea…normal state…" Gohan said, grinning evilly down at him as he transformed into Super Saiyan. "And I suggest you choose your words wisely, for they may be your last…"

"W…WH…WHAT! IT'S YOU!" Hercule said screaming like a little girl. "IT'S YOU! YOU'RE THE KID FROM THE CELL GAMES! Please! Please! PLASE! DON'T HURT ME! I BEG YOU! PLEASE!" Hercule said, latching onto Gohan's leg, sobbing.

"You make me sick you fake bastard. Get off me…" Hercule jumped off, running to a corner "I had no intention of hurting you in the first place, but cowards like you always beg."

"You said, to watch my words because they might be the…"

"WHAT I said, made you show your true colors."

"Su…Su…So your not going to kill me…?"

"NO you idiot…"

"OH THANK YOU!" Hercule said, nearly groping his feet.

"Get off…" Gohan glared.

"Yu…Yu…Yes…sorry…" He said patting his feet and standing up. "I'm…su…" It took all of Hercule's strength to say the words he was, but he thought an apology was in order. Well he thought that it would be in order to save his life. "…Sorry…about the Cell Games…"

"Yea…I bet you are…" Gohan said sarcastically.

"Wu…Wu…Would you like a drink?" Hercule said nervously.

"Yea sure, water is fine thanks." Hercule ran over to pour him a glass.

"S…So Gohan, um…just out of curiosity…how strong are you?" He said bringing him back the glass.

Gohan quickly devoured every last drop in the glass, then looked at Hercule to answer his question. "Well…it's hard to say, as in an exact measurement. But…in my normal state…I'm about….maybe…five billion times stronger then you now, give or take a few million." He said with a smirk.

"And when I transform, my power goes up fifty times that of my normal state. When I go up one more level, it multiplies ten more times over. And even at that, I can still go up another level. So, you do the math. " He said looking up into the glass, trying to see if there were any stray drips that he missed.

"You don't have to grovel Hercule, I already told you that I wasn't going to hurt you. So chill out already."

"How are you so powerful? How is that even possible…" Hercule said in awe.

"Well, I'm half Saiyan."

"What's…" Just then Videl walked down the stairs. Wondering how Gohan was doing, she hoped her dad didn't scare him away. Trying to show off how strong and powerful he was. She herself didn't see what the big deal was, but her other guy friends always seem to run away before she even got to go out with them whenever she brought them to meet him.

"So are you guys getting along?" She said furrowing an eyebrow.

"Oh yea…" Hercule leaned over to Gohan's ear. "What's your name again?"

"Gohan."

"Yea…Gohan and I are having a great time, you to should go out sometime." He said winking at Gohan. Gohan and Videl just stood there that was the last thing she would have ever expected him to say.

"Wu…WHAT! Did you just say?!" Videl said, nearly tripping over the rug at the base of the stairs.

"Yea, you and Gohan here should get together sometime. He's a fine kid. You should have more friends like him Videl, not like that stupid Sharpner kid." 'For once I agree with you Hercule…' Gohan said laughing to himself.

"I thought you liked Sharpner dad?"

"Naaa, Gohan's a much cooler kid." Hercule said putting a hand on Gohan's shoulder.

"So…your okay with me and Gohan being friends…?"

"Yea! Of course, why stop there. Why don't you two go on a date sometime." Gohan and Videl just blushed at the thought. But they did think it was a good idea.

Gohan just grunted to get their attention. "Hey…um I'll see you later Videl, I got to get going home. It's kind of getting a little late. So I'll see you at school, well see you later! You to Hercule." He said waving out the door to the lavish home. Hercule and Videl both went to the front door to watch him leave.

"WOW! That's his car!" Hercule said gawking.

"Yea cool huh…You mean you don't have that one? Wow I thought a chauvinistic person like yourself would have one." She said, eyeing her father.

"I AM NOT A CHAUSVINIST" He glared back. 'Besides, there are only a few of those and they are only for the heads of Capsule Corp. So I couldn't get one…' Hercule's gawking mouth dropped even lower when he realized what he just said. 'How…'

"Sure dad…" She said, patting him on the shoulder and walking back up to her room. He didn't even acknowledge her, as he was too much in a daze to do so.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gohan let the top down, letting the wind fly through his hair. He was going to fly the rest of the way, but decided that it was much too fun to just drive around for a while. And he wanted to thank Bulma for the car that he never really knew he had, so he thought he would just drive over to West Capitol City.

He drove up to the entrance of Capsule Corp, he didn't realize that Bulma was on the front of the building. She was doing her monthly evaluation, making sure that the building looked spotless and was up to code. She had a large grin on her face seeing him drive up. She never expected him to really use it. But she was glad that he did anyway. She walked over to where he parked, seeing him get out.

"So I see you like the newest model huh…?!" She said crossing her arms.

"Yea! She's wonderful." He gave her a thumbs up.

"So Gohan, what are you doing all the way over here?…Chick scooping perhaps…that's not why you would just be driving around when you should be at home huh…is it?" She gave him a strange look with one of her eyebrows up and nudged him in the side.

"Bulma…!" He turned a dark shade of pink.

"What! Hehe c'mon lets go inside." She put a hand on his shoulder and escorted him into the glimmering compound.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So Gohan, how have you been? I haven't seen you while, what's up with that!?" Bulma said with her hands at her hips.

"Sorry…I've kind of been…a little preoccupied…" He said nervously.

"Oh lay off Bulma dear, well I'm just happy to see you Gohan! Now come on, I have delicious cakes that I just got from the market. And I can make some tea, and we can have a little tea party!" The older woman said giddily to herself as she walked out of the living room into her own little world.

"Yea, so what have you been up to huh Gohan? I missed having a play mate…" Trunks said pouting.

"Aw…Sorry Trunks, well why don't we have a little fun now. Would you like that? How's about a little spar huh." He said, ruffling up his lavender hair.

"YEY! I'll go see if Tousan is out of the GR, I'll be right back Gohan!" He ran out the door, almost faster then his little legs can carry him.

"So yea Gohan, what have you been up to?…Hum?" Bulma said with an all to evident smirk.

Gohan just grunted and tried to change the subject. "Uh…Can we please change the subject Bulma…"

"Why…is there…anything you're not telling me…?" She said raising an eyebrow.

"No, no…nothing at all…" Bulma just looked at him for a second, and then moved in closer for a better look. 'Hum…he seems different some how…I can't place it…but something about him has definitely changed…'

"WOMAN! Leave the brat alone! Don't cross his path, or anger him in anyway until he completes the bond with the onna that he's chosen!"

"WHAT! NO WAY! Gohan's…"

"Chosen a MATE!"

"NO WAY!"

"Yes…I have been sensing the change in him lately, his energy has changed to that of a Saiyan ready to take a mate. This happens to us Saiyans when we reach a certain age, and are able to take a mate. Call it a type of post puberty, if that makes any sense to you. It happens a few years after we have gone through it, and I think the brat is a little overdue. I think it's been about six years since he's gone through that teen process, and we Saiyans usually take a mate three years after. The brat has waited three more years, so it's been quite delayed. And that could make him even more irritable then a Saiyan that is about to take a mate three years after puberty. And at this stage in the process he can be quite intolerable and irrational of his surroundings, and can lash out at any time. It's not a good idea to piss him off in the middle of his Saiyan bonding cycle."

"You mean innocent, sweet little Gohan…IS IN HEAT!"

"Nothing so crude, but they do have similar characteristics. Now leave the brat alone! Soon you will start to see the change in his eyes, they will signify that its almost time for him and his chosen mate to consummate the final stage of the bond. Which of course as you know is the mating. And from the feel of his energy, I'd say it's not to far off… You remember the stages don't you?"
He said sarcastically with an evil smirk.

"But Gohan is only eighteen!"

"Yea so…"

"Vegeta, this isn't your home planet, here things like 'mating' as you call it, are things for adults."

"Yea…"

"HE'S STILL A TEENAGER! And He's still in school!…"

"…?"

"What if something happens…you remember what happened when we bonded…"

"That's no concern of mine, if it happens then its his and that onna's problem not mine."

"But things like that could ruin the life of a teenager here on earth…"

"Will you shut up you damn onna! Gohan can take care of himself. And I don't see what's the problem, I doubt the Banshee will mind. And isn't he almost out of school anyway…WHY THE HELL AM I EVEN CONCERNING MYSELF WITH SUCH MATTERS!"

"Well…because you care… isn't that right Vegeta, c'mon admit it!"
She said through their bond smirking.

"Shut up, damn onna!"

They ended their telepathic conversation, one of the perks of being bonded. And Gohan stared at her as if she was somewhat crazy. She had been making all these strange faces. And then started looking at him

'Why is she looking at me that way…' He thought to himself as he backed up.

"Oh…Gohan…" She said in a singing voice.

"Yu…Yu…Yea…" He said stuttering and backing up, nearly tripping over the coffee table.

"What have you been doing lately…" She said moving closer, almost an inch from his face.

"Nu…Nu…Nothing…w…why do you ask…" She just laughed at him smugly and wiggled her finger in front of him.

"You better keep yourself out of trouble and keep your pants on Son Gohan, or else I'm going to have a little chat with your mother."

"What! Is that supposed to mean…" She glared at her, she just laughed at him.

"ONNA! Butt out!"

"But I'm having fun!"

"Leave him alone, you can have your fun after…"
He said laughing evilly. "I told you, don't do anything irrational. His Saiyan side is in control of his emotions at this point and he might not respond the way he usually does. Do not toy with a Saiyan during their bonding cycle, I give you fair warning. Saiyans can be quite verbally abusive during this stage."

Then he stopped himself and thought about that for a moment then laughed. "On second thought, why don't you go ahead and aggravate him a little. I'd like to see the brat go on a cursing rampage. I think it would be quite humorous…"

"Shut up…"

"Damn onna…"

"Bulma…What's up with you? You keep making these strange faces…"

Just then Trunks and Vegeta walked in, signaling him to follow them.

"You ready for a spar? Huh brat…?" Vegeta said smirking.

"Well that depends…are you ready to lose again…?" Gohan's smirk was even larger then Vegeta's.

"Don't get to cocky brat…" He said crossing his arms.

"Well look who's talking…" Gohan said with a raised eyebrow. The walked into the GR, preparing for a match that was sure to be remembered…or so Vegeta thought. He wanted to see how the bonding process would affect his concentration. And maybe he would have a chance this time…maybe.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They both walked out of the GR. One with an immensely large grin on his face, and the other trying to stifle a cry to kame.

'Damn hormonal teenagers!'

'Haha looks like someone got his but kicked…again…'

'Get out of my thoughts onna!'

'Fine, fine, don't be such a sourpuss Vegeta. It's not my fault you don't know how to heed your own warnings…hehe.'

'WHAT WAS THAT!'

'…'

'That's right! You had better be gone! Damn onna…'

"Here Vegeta, let me help you up. You don't look to well, you might need some stitches and a sling for that arm. Sorry…I didn't know what came over me…I have been acting a little strange lately…"

"Get off of me! I don't need you help you low class baka!"

"Suit yourself Vegeta." Gohan let his arm go, causing Vegeta fall to the ground. Gohan tried to help him back up, but Vegeta just slapped his hand away.

"Okay Vegeta, thanks for the spar! It was fun but I better be going now, see'ya!" He said running down the hall.

"Gohan! Wait, come here for a second." Vegeta called from the corner of the hall.

"Why…?"

"Just listen to me brat!"

"Okay…"

"Do you remember what I told you about your Saiyan culture, and the bonding of ourselves to the mate of our choosing?"

"Yea…I think so…"

"Listen BRAT! This is very important. You have reached a certain peak in the life of Saiyan males. And you have begun to chose a mate for yourself. And from the looks of it, you have. Your body chemistry and energy are all changing to match that of your chosen mate. Even your smell has begun to change as well. You must listen to me Gohan, this is a very serious matter. And if you should fail at this, you and your mate may die. It is imperative that if you bond with this onna, she bonds with you back. If you bond with her and she does not bond with you that would make a one sided bond. And within a few hours you will die. And that goes both ways. So it is essential, that you complete the bond when started. Do you understand?"

"Gee Vegeta, I didn't know you cared…" Gohan said with a Smirk. 'And what the hell is he talking about…me…choosing a mate? I haven't chosen a mate…have I…Nah…must probably be one of those strange lectures that he gives us once in a while…'

"SHUT UP BRAT! I said, do you understand?!" Vegeta said growling.

"Yes Vegeta I do…" Gohan sighed and looked at him

"Do you also remember everything else I told you about the bond? And its' telepathic abilities."

"Yes."

"Well…then get out of my sight you baka!"

"Fine Vegeta…" Gohan he ran off down the hall but stopped and turned to Vegeta.

"Hey…Vegeta…"

"What is it baka…" He said turning away from the GR to face him.

"Thanks…" Gohan gave him a smile and a thumbs up and continued down the hall. Vegeta just gave him a smirk and went back into the brightly lit room. Gohan was to far to see it, but as Vegeta walked into the room there was a trace of a small smile on his face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gohan got home as quickly as he could, he was already late enough as it is. He put his things to the side of the door, tiptoeing up the stairs, not trying to make so much noise. It was already almost eleven and he knew that everyone was probably sleeping by then. He walked towards his bedroom where he bumped into Chichi. Expecting to see a harsh reaction, he closed his eyes and just prayed to Kame that he wouldn't find himself in Otherworld when he opened them up again.

"Oh…hi honey…did you have a nice time at school today? Bulma called me up and told me that you were over at her house. But next time just tell me before okay…" She said patting his chest and walking towards her room, scratching her back thigh and yawning.

Gohan just stood there for a few moments, trying to come up with a word fitting of what he just witnessed. All he could come up with was…Miracle.

"Well…hey, c'est la vie!" [1] He said grinning to himself and walking back into his room.

He quickly changed, excited about how he would get to see Videl tomorrow. He pulled the covers over himself, and drifted out into the endless sea of dreams. Thinking sweet dreams of the one he loved…

"huh…Videl…" He closed his eyes, dreaming of the next time he would see her. But then his mind recalled what Vegeta had said earlier. "VIDEL!…" With that last word that rolled off his tongue he collapsed onto his bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She walked out the shower stall, her hair damp and tucked under the towel like shad. She stood over to the counter, brushing her fingers through her silk like hair. 'I wonder what Gohan's doing…' She thought as she walked out of the spacious bathroom.

She walked over to the king seized bed, she took a quick gaze at it for one second and then realized exactly what it was…empty, she felt empty, everything felt empty without the one person that could fill the void…Gohan.

With a sigh, she rolled onto the bed. Trying to get to sleep as fast as she could so that she would find comfort in her loneliness. Where she knew she could find Gohan…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Gohan woke up early that morning, he didn't know why, but he had a feeling it was because he got to go to school. But not just any school, no, no. He was going to get to go to Orange Star High, the place where he found the woman of his dreams.

He walked out of the shower and walked into the closet. For some reason he felt like a change was in order. He stood in the walk in closet, his hands at his hips, his eyes traveling around the small room for the outfit fit for the day. He walked out several minutes later, looking into the mirror with satisfaction of his choice. The mirror reflected a figure with a light navy blue buttoned down business shirt, with a black inside tank and khaki cargo pants. Complete with a black zip up leather jacket 'like, the ones polo make' that accented the light blue shirt and black boots he had on.

He hurried down stairs, and grabbed a bit to eat. The only problem was that his mother wasn't even awake yet. So being the very courteous teen that he was, he left a note for her to find when she woke up telling her that he got up early and was going to get something to eat at school. And then he ran out the door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Videl wasn't so far off either, she too had awakened just about the same time. Shock and surprise still ravaged her mind, it usually took a major crises for her to wake up, and for her to wake up before she could even destroy her newly bought clock of the week, was quite peculiar.

She just shrugged it off and continued with her daily ritual, much earlier then usual. She finished in record time, running out of the house without even a glass of juice this time around. She thought that she could probably get some extra work done that she missed while on her escapades to save the city. Even though she never quite listened to the announcements in the morning she was happy to know that she actually took time out to hear one not to long ago. Telling her that the library or 'Media Center as they wanted to be called now' is always open just before six and that anyone can use it to get in some extra work done before school started. She was surprisingly happy to be able to do such a thing, her work was beginning to pile up and she really needed to get some of it done.

She walked into the large open spaced room. It was on the few times she had ever been in the library. She never noticed how nice it looked until now. She had the entire place to herself, and she curiously walked around noticing all the fascinating things she never took time to even care about. After much inspection of the premises, she took a seat at one of the tables next to a large bay windows. It had the most breath taking view of the city and currently captured the beautiful sunrise that she had seen. She could see the golden looms of light flickering over one of the tall buildings as the sun arose to its rightful place in the morning sky. She could see the building up of people as they entered one of the many coffee shops, getting ready for another busy day at work. She could see the first morning bus stops being picked up, and the excited children that were now starting to come out for another fun day at kindergarten. She smiled as she thought about how fun she used to have, and how that excitement just merely turned into boredom. Her smile became a frown thinking of how those innocent an happy children could turn out to one day be like Sharpner. She cringed at the thought, but then realized that many might just turn out to be like the one person she truly loved….Gohan.

Before she got to deep into her fantasy, she was thrust out. Noticing a beautiful streak of golden light heading toward the school, she jumped out of her seat and ran towards the glass panel. She thought it might have been some experimental jet at first, but when she focused her eyes a bit more she could see a familiar face.

'The Gold Fighter huh…I WONDER why he's headed towards this direction…'

Gohan quickly landed and dropped out of Super Saiyan. He thought it would be safe to just fly to the school, instead of landing in the park and walking the rest of the way to school. Because it was so early and he doubted anyone would even see him.

'Hum…I wonder why he landed here…' She said sarcastically to herself, with a raised eyebrow and a very large smirk plastered on her face.

She walked into the hallway and casually made her way to the foot of the stairs where the entrance to the roof was.
Gohan busted down the stairs, but was stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Videl waiting at its base. To paranoid to even come up with an excuse he just stood there and watched as she walked inch by inch to him. And then about a half a foots distance from each others faces, she stopped and her eye's traveled to his neck and then back up to his eye's. He gulped and moved back about and inch and tripped on one of the stairs, sending him falling backwards and landing on his butt on the next stair. She stepped even closer to the now immobile Gohan, to the point where she was nearly straddling him. She looked down, her hands at her hips and spoke.

"Gohan…" She said in a singing voice. "Did you happen to see the GOLD Fighter up there by any chance? You wouldn't happen to know him would you? That would be a REAL shocker. Well would you look at that…you even have the same taste in clothes too! She said in a laughing sarcastic tone.

"You two wouldn't happen to be shopping buddies would you…?" She said laughing with a raised eyebrow. "Although nice change to the red pants and the black vest…"

Gohan just sat there, contemplating his explanation. Although whenever he tried to come up with something, all he could think of was that there wasn't. And it was time to let the truth come out…well that he was the Gold Fighter anyway.

She pulled him up off the stairs and out of his state of disarray. She stood parallel to him, her hands at her hips and glaring at him. "Gohan, I caught you. You can't dodge this one. I SAW YOU LAND! I can't believe you could even be so careless, but lucky for me huh…" She said with a smirk.

"C'mon…you can't deny it anymore, just tell me the truth…" She said almost pleading.

He exhaled and looked down at his feet, as if trying to avert from the look in her eye's "…Yes…"

"YES what…"

"…Yes…I'm the… Gold Fighter…"

"I KNEW IT! I knew it since the day I saw you, and now that you said it…I'M RIGHT HA!"

"Please don't tell anyone…I beg you please…I don't want anyone to know, it's for my family…I don't want them to be ransacked by camera crews and put into positions that they really shouldn't have to be in. I could care less if it was just me, but its not, my family will really be affected by this. Please you have to understand. It's for their privacy."

"Well okay…under two conditions…" She said with a smirk.

"Fine…" He said pouting.

"Well…first, you have to help me with my homework!"

"Is that all…"

She walked into the hall, practically ignoring him. Then stuck her in the doorway and winked at him.

"AND…you have to teach me how to fly…" She said with a big grin. And stuck her back into the hall.

He ran after her. "You mean that's it? All I have to do is teach you how to fly…?" She turned to him, and looked into his eyes.

"Well now that you mention it…Gohan, I want you to be completely honest with me, can you do that…?" He looked at her strangely, he didn't know what else could be on her mind.

"Yes, of course…"

She sighed and gulped. "Well…something has been on my mind for quite some time, the day I met you in fact…"

"But I just met you yesterday…" He looked at her confused.

She grunted and looked at him again. "Well whatever, it's been on my mind. And it's really starting to annoy me."

"Well what is it?" He raised an eyebrow.

She sighed again, and hit her heal on the floor. "Well…it has to do with the fact that…that you can do that thing with your hair…you know make it turn golden and stuff." She looked down, as if embarrassed to ask what she was about to say.

"Yes…what about it?"

"Well…I remember a long time ago, when I watched my father's videos of the Cell Games…" She began to choke.

"Yes…go on."

"Well, I remember a few people there. And there was a kid there…and he could do all these cool things that my dad calls tricks and stuff. And oh he could fly, and he could blast these things….and OH YEA he could even lift up these huge boulders and…and…well I guess what I'm trying to say…is…"

"Yes…" He said shaking his head at her, as if he was trying to help her get what she was about to say out faster.

"Well…GOAHN! Are you that kid!"

He inhaled rather a large amount of air and sighed, "Well…Y…Yes…" He didn't expect to see a smile on her face, on the count of her father would be a total shame. But he did, and it was one of the biggest he had ever seen.

"Thank you…Thank you Gohan, for telling me the truth." She smiled at him, but then a look of disgust appeared. "I always knew that…that my father never beat Cell. I always thought it was so impossible for him to be that strong." She shook her head. "I mean, I saw my father get thrown out of the ring like it was nothing. I knew he was thrown out because whenever him and I would train all those years ago…I would throw him out, and then he would always use that same excuse over and over. And it made me realize that if I could do that, he never EVER stood a chance against Cell. And so I have been trying to find some way to prove it, and now I have!" She said smiling.

"I'm happy that I could help you then." He grinned back at her.

And then she started to talk again. "And I mean COME ON! One second he was fine, and then the next he would complain about a stomachache whenever he was going to fight! I mean come on now…am I the only one seeing this? Or is everyone in this stinking world so blind? I was just a little girl, and I could see right through him!" She said throwing her hands in the air. Gohan just laughed and followed her back into the library.

They continued their little chat about the Cell Games all the way up until the beginning of class. They were about to leave, but not before Videl made him promises to tell her everything later, about how he could fly, and how he could be that strong. Naturally, Gohan found some way to postpone that until a later time. He really didn't feel to comfortable telling her that he was an alien in school.

They walked down the hall together, they didn't know why everyone was staring at them as they walked down towards their next class. They just looked at each other and shrugged it off. They entered the class, not expecting what they found. Everyone was cheering and making cat calls at them. But they didn't know why. Then they looked down to see that they were holding each others hands the entire way. They both turned scarlet for a few moments. They didn't know why it happened, but then it hit Gohan as he walked to his seat next to Videl. It was as if a blot of lightning struck him, and it sent his mind into a frenzy. '…THE BOND!'

He sat down, in a daze. He didn't even notice the comments he got on his new look. Which most of the class called 'Total chick magnet.' He even got a thumbs up from Sharpner, and if Sharpner was giving him a complement…Dende only knows what Erasa had to say. But let's just say it made Videl pretty upset.

'The bond…it must be getting stronger…I have to tell Videl somehow, it must be affecting her too for us to be holding hands and for neither one of us not even notice…'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~Mirai Trunks Timeline~


"Mom please…just hold on, I swear I'll find it."

"Don't worry Trunks, I know you will. They started to replant many of them when we got there. Remember, only Gohan, Krillian, and I have been there. Well for the exception of Goku, but you told me he…died at the Cell Games…"

"Well, lets hope that they still remember how to get there."

"I'm sure they will. The Time machine is already set, all you have to do it press start and you will be off. And don't worry about me, I'll be fine. After all, I do have Pan here to keep me company." She said smiling.

He smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead, and waved goodbye before he ran out the door. "I'll be back in a few, stay safe! And don't you do anything crazy until I get back! Understand!? Stay in bed and rest, you need all the strength you can get!"

"YES! YES! Just go, and keep yourself safe you hear me!? Remember what I told you and comeback in one piece you hear me!?" He ran out the door, waving back at her as he disappeared.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ten days had past since Videl started her training with Gohan. She learned pretty quickly, and by the fifth day she was already able to levitate. Many things during that time had happened. Although they wouldn't admit it to each other, they had gotten incredibly close. And Gohan knew exactly why. It got to the point where you wouldn't ever find one apart from the other. She was even sleeping over at his house now. Which Hercule gave his complete and undeniable consent too. He even helped her pack. But as with all things, there was a downside, Gohan was getting more and more irritable each day. And he knew that the bond between them was getting even stronger and he had to tell her soon, for both their sakes.

During that time other things had happened. Gohan told her about the Dragonballs, his alien heritage, and how that was the way he could turn Super Saiyan. He even told her of how, ever since he was just a little child he was pushed into situations beyond his control. He told her of how Raditz, Vegeta, and Napa came to Earth. And soon after that, how he had to travel to a distant planet named Namek to use their Dragonballs. He told her of Frieza, and how his father was the first in a millennia to ascend to the level of the legendary Super Saiyan. He told her of the androids and the story behind Cell. Granted this was a little hard for her to believe at first, but she soon accepted it and believed everything that she was told, she realized that Gohan would never lie to her about such a thing. And that made Gohan a very happy camper. Considering her was afraid of telling her, in fear of that she would hate him and never want to see him again. But to his surprise, it was quite on the contrary. In fact, she seemed to be drawn even closer to him.


It has been a few days since their little chat, and they landed in front of Capsule Corp. for Bulma's party. Videl just stood in disbelief, she had no idea that the Sons knew the most rich and powerful family in the world. They walked up to the private sector of the immense building, gave the door a few knocks, and waited for it to be answered. Videl expected to see a butler, a few maids, and very opulent home. But what she saw was the very opposite. She saw a very cozy, comfortable, and family like atmosphere, which was a refreshing feeling from what she was used to.

As soon as Gohan stepped into the doorway, he was assaulted by the demon spawn known as Trunks. Gohan was toppled over and fell back out the door landing on his butt in the garden. Along with Trunks, who was straddled over his chest, still hugging him tightly.

"Hey Trunks, it's nice to see you too." He said in a laughing tone. Chichi, and Videl both looked at each other and smiled. Then turned to look at the sight in the garden, Goten, and Trunks both jumped on him and started to tickle him. Making him laugh hysterically and causing him to go after the two demons for revenge. Videl and Chichi couldn't suppress their uncontainable urge to just say… "Aw."

Videl just looked in awe at the sigh. Then turned her full attention to Gohan and said.. "Gohan will make a great father one day…" Which of course, sent Chichi into a frenzy. One could have sworn to see wedding belles in her eyes. Videl just covered her mouth in astonishment of what she just said. 'Am I really in that deep…' Making her eyes widen at the thought.

Bulma, hearing everything that was said from the doorjamb couldn't help but laugh at the sight. 'This must be her…' She mused to herself.

She walked passed the still daydreaming Chichi and to the still fantasizing Videl. Bulma walked up behind her and tapered her on the shoulder. Videl, having the martial artist instinct she had. Nearly grabbed Bulma from behind and threw her over her shoulder. But then turned around instead and looked at the figure behind her. To say the least, Videl's mouth dropped to the lowest point imaginable. Bulma just laughed and offered her hand to the gawking girl.

Bulma just giggled and shook her hand. "Hello, I'm Bulma. What's your name?"

"Uh…M…My name's Videl Satan…"

Bulma still in her giggling state, continued making conversation. "Hello Videl, are you a friend of Gohan's?" Already knowing the answer to the question, she asked it anyway. Trying to get any information that she could.

"What a sec…did you say…your last name was Satan?"

"Yes, I did…is there a anything wrong?" She said in a generally concerned fashion.

"OH NO! Not at all, I was wondering if you were related to…" Videl cut her off.

"Hercule Satan?"

"Yes of a matter of fact…"

"Yes I am, sorry to say." Videl sighed.

Bulma couldn't help but laugh to herself, she found the situation Gohan was in, frankly almost unreal. And quite funny in fact. "Why do you say that?" Again, Bulma already knew the answer but still asked the question anyway.

"Gohan already told me all about the Cell Games, and how all of you guys knew."

"He did?" Bulma was a little in shock, this wasn't really like Gohan to just tell such things. He was usually the more considerate of people, usually the bigger man. And letting things be as they were, not complaining if he got his share. Well when it came to glory anyway, food was a totally different story. 'It's probably the bond…poor kid…hehe…He must be really frustrated right now if this is the girl that Vegeta keeps talking about…'

"Yup, he told me not to long before we came here. And plus I asked him to tell the truth…about everything. To me, it really doesn't matter that my father didn't save the world. In fact I like knowing that he didn't. I could care less about his image or mine for that matter. What does matter to me is that he lied. And he will get what's coming to him. That I can assure you…" Videl said in disgust.

'Good choice Gohan…I think Chichi thinks so too.' Bulma said to herself as she took a glance at the daydreaming Chichi.

"C'mon Videl, lets go inside shall we? I'm sure that there are a lot of people that would want to meet you." She said with a smirk, motioning to the three boys that were still playing in the garden.

They walked into the large dome like room that was filled with fountains, trees and even the occasional dinosaur or two. They walked into the middle where everyone was eating and talking. They all stopped for a moment and took a glance at figures that entered.

Gohan was the first to say hi before anything else and quickly ran over to the drinks and then ran back over to where Videl was standing. They all stood up and greeted all of them, especially Videl. Vegeta was the first to step up to them along with the rest of the Z-fighters.

"So, you must be the brat's Mate…" Vegeta, having the very loud and domineering voice that he did caused everyone to hear the statement, which made Gohan spit out the drink in his mouth. That of course made everyone laugh.

The next was Krillian. He said his polite hellos to the ladies and then winked to Gohan, and even gave him a little nudge In the rips. "Hey bro, nice choice…" He winked again and walked off.

"She's not my girlfriend Krillian…" Gohan said almost somewhat sadly. Krillian just turned around a laughed at him.

"Gohan, is that sunburn or are you blushing?" She said pointing to Gohan's scarlet cheeks. Everyone just laughed in amusement.

"It's okay Gohan you can tell the truth…" Yamcha yelled out from his seat, laughing like a hyena.

"Yea Gohan, nice choice." Tien said lifting up his drink.

"You think so….? UH…UM…I mean…she's not my girlfriend…" This time everyone really couldn't help but laugh. Even Piccolo and Vegeta couldn't help but smile. And Videl wasn't to far off either. Piccolo just looked at him for a few seconds and gave him a nod of approval. But as soon as everyone started to settle down, there was a very loud boom that came from the back lawn of Capsule Corp. Everyone hearing the sound, rushed to the sound to see if there was any damage, or worse… a new enemy.

"I really don't know what everyone is so worried about, its not like anyone stands a chance against you guys…and even if there was some strong guy, Gohan's here!" Bulma yelled to the fighters.

"Yea daddy…aren't you guys supposed to be the strongest in the universe…?" Trunks said proudly.

"That's not the point." Gohan spat out.

Goten walked up next to Gohan and tugged on his pant leg. "Nii-Chan, you wont let anything happen to us will you?"

Gohan just smiled at him. "Of course not little bro." He ruffled his hair and gave him a little pat on the head. Everyone caught a glimpse at the sight, which only the heartless would be able to resist a smile.

"C'mon guys lets check it out…" Tien motioned the rest of the group to follow behind Gohan, Vegeta, and Piccolo.

They ran out of the building, expecting to see destruction. But what they saw only made their eyes shutter with happiness and joy. It was a sight that most of them haven't seen in nearly eight years. The craft landed and out popped a lavender haired price.

"Hey everyone, its been a while." He said smiling. 'Looks like mom set the time a little to far after the Cell Games...hehe i got to get her for that...'

"MIRAI!" Everyone said in unison.

"Hey guys!…GOHAN! IS THAT YOU!" He jumped out of cockpit and ran over to his old master's younger self.

"Hey Mirai, its been a while. Welcome back buddy!" He gave him a big bear huge and brought him over to meet everyone again.

"YEA! look at you, your so grown now!"

"Hey Mirai, I want you to meet someone, this is…"

"Hello Videl…" He said as he kissed her hand. Everyone just gasped, including both Gohan and Videl.

"Who…How?! …Do I know you…" Videl said confused.

"Well, I didn't tell you about him. That's for sure…" Gohan said in shock.
