Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Reflection ❯ Phone calls and dreams ( Chapter 2 )

Anyway, to Yukis-Tear: that was exactly what I was gonna do!! Thanks for the idea anyway!! I will dedicate that part to you!! (look on fanfiction.net if you want to know)

 

In this story, Buu never comes, and Saiyaman is roaming the streets. Of course, Videl doesn't know Gohan's secret.

 

Disclaimer: If I owned DBZ, then I wouldn't be writing a FAN FICTION.

 

Chapter Two: Telephone Calls and Dreams

 

The party ended, and Videl finally got out of the dress. She was still extremely mad at her dad, but she decided to ignore that and just go to bed. Tomorrow was Monday, which meant save the city, school, save the city some more, go back to school, listen to her dad announce the drawing to the whole world, and listen to her dad brag some more to the reporters.

 

Meanwhile, at the 439 Mountain Area:

 

Gohan was a little later getting home than he thought he would. He was a little concerned for Videl. I mean, come on, her dad just gave her a “side-kick” for no apparent reason, and she would have to live with that person too! He knew how she was around reporters, and now that this has happened, she will have to deal with even more reporters. `Maybe I should enter in the contest…. I mean, what could it hurt? Hopefully Videl won't kill me when she finds out', Gohan thought. He landed right in front of the door, and the second that he did, his mom opened the door and hit him with her frying-pan-of-doom. “Uhh… hi mom.. Sorry I'm late?”

 

“You had better be sorry you are late!!! HERE I AM, WAITING FOR YOU, AND YOU ARE LATE!!!” Chi-Chi yelled at him, and then, quietly she asked, “So, where were you?”

 

“Mom, you know that I went to Videl's house for that party that she held. It just took longer because at the end, Hercule made an announcement about a drawing that he is holding…”

 

“What kind?”

 

“It is for everyone, and the winner gets to stay at the Satan mansion, train with Hercule, and become the side-kick of Videl for a month.”

 

“Is that all?”

 

“Yeah. And, I want to enter, so that if I win, Videl at least will have a friend to talk to…”

 

Gohan should have never mentioned the contest. He should have kept it a secret. Chi-Chi was about to start her “grandchildren” talk, and Gohan knew it. He started towards his room, saying something about being tired, but it was too late. She had already begun. Gohan had to listen to the speech, and it was 1:00AM before he got to bed.

 

Meanwhile, at the Satan mansion:

 

Videl couldn't sleep. She just sat there. After about 1:30AM, she was so mad at her dad, because she had spent the last few hours thinking about all the reasons that she hated him. She wanted to talk to someone, but she knew everyone was asleep. She finally got the guts to wake someone up, and she decided on Gohan, because she knew that he wasn't as worried about “beauty sleep” as Erasa and Sharpener.

 

She looked in her address book, and found Gohan's number. She dialed it, and it rang a few times, and then someone picked up.

 

“Son's residence. Gohan speaking.”

 

“Umm… sorry if I woke you. This is Videl.”

 

“Oh. Hi Videl, so, whatcha want?”

 

“Someone to talk to.”

 

“Well, I'm awake, so what do you want to talk about?”

 

“My dad. He is so stupid!! He should have told me about the drawing!”

 

“I agree with you there. So, I have a question for you. Would you mind if I entered the contest? I mean, someone has to win, and if I enter, then at least there is a possibility that I win and you don't have to worry about living with someone you don't know.”

 

“You do realize that Dad would train you hard. You aren't exactly in the best shape.”

 

That hurt Gohan's saiyan pride. Without thinking a whole lot, due to his saiyan side taking over, and his tiredness, he said, “I'm in a lot better shape than you think. I probably could beat your dad in a fight if I wanted to.”

 

“Well, if you are so sure about your abilities, than I guess you can enter, it's not like I can do anything about it.”

 

“Well, I am kind of strong.”

 

“You do know that you have to have a physical taken before you can enter, right?”

 

“Really? Why?” Gohan asked, although he had an idea why.

 

“Because Dad says that he doesn't want to have to train a `poor defenseless weakling,'” replied Videl, the last part imitating her father.

 

“Any thing else you want to talk about?

 

“Yeah. Will you not mention that I called you to my dad? He says that if I ever get a boyfriend, he has to beat him in a fight, and I don't want him to think that we are dating or something strange like that.”

 

“Okay, Videl. Anything else?”

 

“Not that I can think of. Sorry that I woke you up so early.”

 

“It's okay. At least you don't have a little brother that has his friend come over and sometimes they decide to play video games all night long.”

 

“How long is `all night'?”

 

“From about eight in the evening to about eight in the morning. And to make it worse, they play kind of loudly.” `Not a complete lie. I mean, with my super-hearing, I can hear them all night'

 

“They play that long? Wow. I thought going to stupid parties that end at two is bad.”

 

“Well, good-night”

 

“Good-night. See you later.”

 

“Okay.”

 

And with that, they hung up. Videl tried to get to sleep, and luckily, she managed to fall asleep quickly. But, before she drifted off into dreamland, she thought of one thing: `Boy, Gohan is so nice, and I bet that…he …has…muscles'. Before she could argue against herself for thinking such, she was fast asleep.

 

Dream:

 

She was running towards someone. The sky was bright, and the sun was shining. The world seemed like nothing could go wrong. She jumped into his arms, and he kissed her. She looked at him, and the scene changed. The boy was Gohan. She looked around, and there was her dad, yelling at her about something. She couldn't understand what he was saying, and she somehow replied, and she didn't even know what she was saying. But, from the sounds of it, she was mad. Gohan reached down and scooped her up again, and kissed her. This got Hercule even madder. She heard him speak again, but this time, she heard the words “trying to get into your pants” and “you're making a mistake”. She looked up at Gohan, as he kissed her again. She seemed to enjoy it. Gohan smirked at Hercule, and said something she couldn't understand.

 

The scene changed again to Gohan's house, and when she got there, she heard a voice say, “Wake up, Videl. Wake up! Time to get ready for school!”

 

Reality:

 

It was time for her to get up. The maid was calling her. Hercule was downstairs, waiting as well.

 

Videl rolled over and crawled out of bed, and she got dressed. Unfortunately, when she made her way down the stairs, her dad started talking about the drawing that he was going to have. To make matters worse, the reporters were close by—she knew it. Videl grabbed a bagel, and she headed outside to get to her jet copter, only to be ambushed by at least ten reporters. She managed to get past most of them and get into the copter, and get on her way to Orange Star High School. She felt pity for anyone that would decide to break the law that day, because she would show no mercy.

 

Meanwhile, at 439 Mountain Area:

 

Gohan was awakened by Goten, the demi-saiyan alarm clock. He got out of bed and got dressed into a loose shirt and pants and went downstairs to eat his breakfast. He decided not to tell his mom about the phone call last night, or the dream that he had had the night before.

 

Flashback to the previous night's dream:

 

The world was dark and dreary. Nothing seemed to have any life. And then, he saw her. She was looking into a still lake, at her reflection. She was crying. He went up to her and asked her what was wrong, but she didn't look at him. All she managed to say between sobs was, “This is all my dad's fault. He should have known. He shouldn't have done it.”

 

“What did he do?” asked Gohan.

 

“He's having a contest. I don't want a side-kick.”

 

“Is that you, Videl?”

 

“Yeah. The problem is that the reporters are back. Then, Dad is using me to get even more famous. He knows that if he were to just have a regular contest, no one would enter, so he's using my fame to add to his own.”

 

“Is there anything I can do?”

 

“No.”

 

“Sorry about your dad.”

 

“It's not like you could do anything about it anyway.”

 

Gohan looked at the water, and the reflection looked nothing like the Videl that he knew. Her face was sad and she looked like she was defenseless. He wondered why her reflection looked like that, but he figured that was what she looked like on the inside, and she was just hiding that part of her from the rest of the world.

 

End flashback

 

At the time that he had gotten that revelation, Goten was waking him up.

 

So, how was the second installment? Please review!! Again, any ideas will be appreciated, and I will dedicate that part to you.
