Chapter 3: The Dip

"Bye Okaa-san! Videl and I are going for a swim! We'll be back before dinner!" Son Gohan announced to the Son household, where his mother was starting on supper in the kitchen.

"Take your brother with you!" Chi-Chi yelled back and the two teens froze in the doorway.

Slowly, Gohan turned around to face the direction of the kitchen, a nervous grin on his features. "Well, actually Mom, Videl and I wanted some time alone." He told her, trying to change her mind but not give her any ideas. Of course, that's hard when your mother is dead-set on having grandchildren.

With a mischievous gleam in her eyes and an evil smirk on her lips, she turned her head to see her son and future barer of her grandchildren. "Oh you do, do you? Should I be expecting little Gohan and Videls soon?" she asked them.

Blushing, the male at question threw his hands out in front of him, waving them. "N-no mom! Not like that! It's just...since we're going to school soon we won't have any privacy so we wanted to use it wisely, yeah, that's it!" He got out in one breath, quickly coming up with a lie.

She eyed them suspiciously before smiling sweetly, turning back around to resume cooking. "How about this? You ask him if he wants to go and if he says no, I won't force you to take him."

Gohan looked a little apprehensive until Videl but a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see her smiling and immediately caught on. "Ok, sure."

"GOTEN!!! GET DOWN HERE!!!" Chi-Chi exclaimed to the household.

"Coming!" the voice of Gohan's brother, Son Goten, filled the room and a second later his body stood at the bottom of the stairs, smiling at Videl and Gohan. "Are you getting married now?" he asked, causing them both to blush mildly, they were getting quite used to that question.

"Goten! Stop pestering them and come here." Chi-chi ordered, frowning at the little boy.

With his head hung, Goten made his way over toward his mother. "Yes, mom?"

She smiled, going back to her cooking. "Goten-sweetie, would you like to go with Gohan and Videl to the lake to go for a swim before supper is ready?" she asked.

His face broke out into a smile, any signs that he was sad disappearing. "Oh really? They want me to?" he turned to his older brother to ask him the same question but found him and his girlfriend in each other's arms, giving each other Eskimo kisses. The seven-year-old's face turned into one of disgust and began trudging up the stairs. "No, I'll just draw for now..." he mumbled.

Videl pulled away from Gohan, watching the little boy go up the stairs and felt a pang of guilt come over her. She turned to Gohan and found him smiling reassuringly.

"I'll spar with him after supper, he won't remember this." He whispered, pulling away also and taking her hand in his. After confirming with his mother that it was alright to leave, he and Videl walked out the door and began through the forest towards the small stream with its own waterfall.

"Hey Videl! Watch this!" Gohan yelled from the top of the cliff with water cascading down it. He was clad in his teddy-bear boxers, using them as a double for swimming trunks. He was quite thankful to find out that they didn't go see-through once he jumped in the water before or else he'd have to deal with a giggling Videl.

The said girl smiled and waved at him, signaling that she heard and was watching. When he spotted her hand moving, he jumped off the cliff, his arms spread and used his flying abilities to slowly make it to the water, doing almost a hundred flips in the air. After he finally made it to the water, his head popped up from it a second later and he began swimming over towards the laughing Videl. Once he reached her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and she started to calm down but still smiled up at him. He brought his face to hers and his lips met her own, kissing her softly but passionately, holding her in his embrace tightly. She pulled back after a minute or so and he knew that he'd forgotten about the fact that she couldn't hold her breath as long as he could.

"Nice dive." She whispered, her hands stoking down his arms towards his hands then removed them from her waist and entwined her fingers with his while still trying to float. Seeing as how she couldn't stay up with only her legs, she wrapped them around his waist, making sure to not make any sexual contact that would only ruin the moment.

"Are you ready for the exams?" he started making small talk swimming a little to the shore so his feet could touch the bottom.

She ran her thumb over the skin of his, smiling as he squeezed their hands lightly. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I am. I won't get as high marks as you, that's for sure, but I think I'll pass." She whispered back, believing that if she spoke too high, she break the ambience in the air. "Do you know where you're going after High School?"

He thought for a moment, taking one hand out from hers to keep her up on his waist, careful not to accidentally touch her behind. "My mom will probably force me into the most expensive and world-renown college around." He put his forehead on her shoulder, breathing in her scent. "What about you?"

She kissed his cheek before answering. "I want to get a college degree so if I ever want to do something I can but I'm still not sure what I want to do yet." She sighed softly, putting her own head on his shoulder. "Where do you see us? After on I mean."

Nuzzling her neck, he smiled. "Married?" he breathed, causing her to shiver. "Children?" he smiled as he watched the goosebumps on her skin raise.

She sighed again, this time in content and tightened her legs around his waist, kissing a small purple mark she'd left a little while ago. "Sounds good."
