The Saiyan Love Way

 

Proof in the Pudding

 

 

(It was a few weeks later and at the Sons house Videl and 18 were talking… It seems that Gohan had been quite surprised that his parents were no longer living next door. For the life of Gohan, he had no clue as to why they were living at CC. Videl and 18 secretly smiled thinking that it had been about time that the elder Sons and the briefs had finally consummated the love they all had for each other. Surprise among surprise Chichi confided in 18 who was now telling Videl what had actually made Chichi too finally to do it. During their talks in her kitchen, Videl listened to the story again and made 18 repeat it.)

 

“So she finally did it?” asked Videl hoping that Gohan had not heard her. It was not up to her to divulge the reasons why his parents were not home anymore.

 

“Yes and I say it's about damn time!” Remarked 18 quite happy that her best friends were now going to have the happiness they deserved.

 

“What made her finally go for it?” wondered Videl aloud

 

“If I tell you what she said you have to promise to not be upset,” cautioned the blonde-haired woman

 

“Why would I be upset?” Videl asked confused

 

“Because Chichi didn't tell you herself for one and the reason why that is she did not want you to blame her,” confided 18

 

“Why would I blame her for anything, this is about her not me I don't understand 1”

 

“Ok what I am about to tell you is because were are all friends, we have a great bond and I understand why chichi almost could not face you with this”

 

“Face me? We have all been encouraging her to follow her heart from the moment she told us. How could Chichi not face me when she knew I held no reservations and tried to get her to be happy? 18 stop talking in riddles”

 

Concentrating on Videl vehement words and hurt over Chichi's decision for not telling the younger Son made 18 sigh. The reason behind all of this was Pan's own dilemma. Chichi would hate Videl to blame her for giving the advice she gave Pan over the same situation. She chose her words carefully, knowing that she was going to be the first to inform Videl about Chichi and Pan's new lives

 

“You know how close Vegeta and Goku are?” questioned 18

 

“Yes of course” Videl voce was edged with frustration.

 

“Do you know now close Trunks and Goten are?” looking carefully for Videl reaction

 

Sitting in her now quiet kitchen , Videl's mind turned over that question. It however sounded more like a statement. Thoroughly chewed up she looked up at 18 to see her nodding encouragingly getting Videl to connect the puzzle. The analogy was Vegeta and Goku are like Trunks and Goten. What was more so that the boys were perhaps even closer to each other…?

 

“Oh my Kami, the boys?” asked Videl

 

Smirking, “Tell me you are not surprised”

 

Hesitation, `I am not, but but then why?”

 

Not sure she asked, “Why what?”

 

“Why did they not marry each other?”

 

Catching that time she answered the question she had pondered herself, “I am almost sure that Goten and Trunks love the girls as much as they love each other” satisfied she smiled hoping that Videl would be as compassionate over this as she was about Chichi and Goku.

 

Tears sprung to her eyes, as she thought about the pain that Pan must have suffered, unless she knew all along, but Pan told Videl everything, but then again this was not something one could easily tell a parent…

 

“Are you sure?' hoping by asking she would get the right answer.

 

“Chichi gave her the same advice that you gave to Chi...” 18 trailed off

 

Understanding now why her mother in law would feel guilty over the situation, she sympathized as to why Chichi had not told her herself… Still how did she now feel about Pan living that very similar life…?

 

“Have you seen the kids?” asked Videl

 

“No, but Marron and Uub have and they said that it is working out... so far”

 

“So Marron knows?”

 

“No one has said anything, but you and Gohan were the only ones who didn't know”

 

“Goku and Chichi could never tell Gohan, how is anyone going to let him know about any of this and now Panny? He would flip! Then Goten? Why? How is she handling Goten?” Videl was close to tears, this was something more, then she could handle now. She was so worried about Pan and Goten and then, “What about Bra and Trunks this is totally different?!”

The implications of the four children never hit home with 18 until Videl filled her in on that situation. However, she wanted to smooth over her doubts… “Remember they are all Saiyans, and Vegeta said that this was not an uncommon thing, right?”

 

“I don't know, I mean Gohan is going to flip out!” Videl whispered scared that her voice would bring disaster to her home.

 

Standing up from the table 18 put an arm around Videl and whispered, maybe Gohan would not be so against all of this as we might fear?”

 

Continuing on that thought, `Maybe Gohan has a deep feeling for someone else in the same manner?' questioned the observing blonde-haired woman.

 

`I hardly think…” Videl began

 

 

18 cut her off. “Look is there someone that has caught Gohan eye or admiration?”

 

Shaking her head Videl could not fathom..

 

Smirking again, 18 concluded that she might have a surprising answer for her friend...

 

“Look Videl, you might not be ready to see all that I can see I was programmed as such, now listen, and come to the island tomorrow for a dinner. It is just going to be our families. You and Gohan and Krillen me and Marron and probably Uub. Do me that pleasure?”

 

“Sure 18, I think I can get Gohan out of his funk about his parents…”

 

“Good I will see you then, and don't worry so much I think everything will turn out fine you'll see…” with that, 18 left Videl and flying back home she began to plane her dinner party…

 

 

(A/N For all of you Fans that want this to continue, I found a way to bring happiness to Gohan)
