Videl woke up in the middle of the night and looked around the dark room. The windows were open and small, cool breeze flew into the room. "I wonder what happened to the moon? It just disappeared one day when I was little... I'll just have to ask Gohan if he knows anything about it..." She thought to herself. There was Gohan, she blushed a little when she realized that she had fallen asleep in his room and that she was in his arms. She gently got out of his grip and went up to his face. "I love you Gohan..." She said as she gently caressed his cheek and a tear formed in her eye. "You must really love me too, enough for you to tell me all of your deepest secrets, I'm so happy that you trust me enough to tell me everything." She let a single tear fall down on his cheek, then, she slowly laid down and their lips met. She gently kissed him and stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity, then broke the gentle kiss and just stared at him for a while. She slowly laid her head on his chest, listening to his heart beat, and placed his arms back around her as she fell back to sleep.

When Gohan was sure that Videl was asleep, he gently ran his fingers through her long black hair and rubbed her back. He slowly moved his head down and softly kissed her forehead. "It's true you know. I do love you Videl... you're the only one I trust. I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here for me." He whispered as he closed his eyes and fell back to sleep.

******************************************

"Hello...?" The sleepy voice of Sharpner came through Erasa's phone.

"Hey Sharpy!" Erasa cried.

"Erasa, it's six o'clock in the morning. What could you possibly want?"

"We're gonna go visit Gohan. Videl is staying at his house for spring break."

"WHAT?!" "Sharpner cried.

"Ha, I knew that would do it... damn I'm good..." Erasa thought to herself. "Mr. Satan wants me to check on them early. He told me to barge in on them and stay for a few days. Ya know, he thinks that they're up to something... and wants to keep them apart."

"Oh come on that's ridiculous... can't we wait a few hours?"

"Well we could... but Gohan lives in Mountain Area 439."

"WHAT?! MOUNTAIN AREA 439! THAT'S A THREE HOUR FLIGHT IN A HELICOPTER!"

"Exactly my point Sharpy. Be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Alr- hello? Hello?" Sharpner sighed heavily as he got out of bed and got ready.

Erasa got her camera and her other belongings she had packed and rushed to her hot pink helicopter and arrived at Sharpner's house to find he was already standing outside, completely packed and ready to go party crashing. She knew that he would enjoy keeping them apart, but she was going to try and stop him. The only reason she invited him in the first place was so she wouldn't be the "bad guy" trying to pry them apart. "Hey Sharpy!" She said as he got in.

"Hey Erasa..." He said still tired. "So... why do you think Videl is at Gohan's house?"

"I don't know... I had no idea that she was even there until I called last night. Mr. Satan said that she was staying there for spring break."

"You don't think there's anything going on... do you?"

"Well... she is staying at his house, so you would think so..."

"I just can't believe it... I've been trying to get Videl to like me since we were little, and then Gohan comes in one day and completely steals her away from me. What luck..." He said sounding very depressed.

"Hey, cheer up Sharpner. You know that all the guys like Videl and she blows them all off, you're not the only one." Erasa teased.

"Thanks Erasa... that really helps."

"Chill out Sharpner, I'm just joking. Besides, who knows what's going on out there, maybe she just wants to get away from the city."

"Well, she was really nice to Gohan for some reason, when she first meets people she's usually either very distant and quiet, or just plain mean."

"So... maybe she just likes him. He is quite a hunk..." Erasa said with a dreamy sigh.

"Spare me... Gohan's just a skinny little wimp."

"Don't talk about Gohan like that! If Videl found out you said that she'd kill you!

"Sorry..."

"Well, they were always disappearing at the same time... I wonder what they were doing."

"Well I think we all know. Videl as off fighting crime and Gohan pretended to be going to the bathroom, but cut class."

"Come on Sharpner, do you really think Gohan has it in him to cut class? He's the smartest and nicest person in the whole damn school!"

"Then what? You think he was Saiyaman? And he left class to go help Videl with her crime fighting?" Sharpner said trying to act as serious as possible.

The two laughed wildly as they flew off towards the rising sun into the mountains.

******************************************

Goten yawned as he jumped out of bed and got ready for the day. "Party, party, goin' to the party..." he sang happily as he skipped into the bathroom. He left his room and passed the guest room where Videl was staying. He figured she was tired because he heard her and Gohan talking pretty late at night before he fell asleep, so he decided to let her sleep. He passed Gohan's room and decided to let him sleep too. As he walked down the stairs, he heard a noise that sounded familiar, like Videl's helicopter landing. He continued downstairs and looked out of a widow to see a giant hot pink helicopter blowing up grass and leaves off of the ground. Two blonde people stepped out and were just gazing at the house and it's surrounding land.

"Wow, it's so pretty out here!" Erasa cried as she capsulized her helicopter.

"Yeah, I guess I can see why Videl would wanna come here to get away from the city." Sharpner said as he looked around the area.

"Come on let's go! I can't wait to see Videl and Gohan."

"Fine, let's go." Sharpner sighed as the two walked into the house.

Erasa knocked lightly at the door and waited for a few seconds when a little boy with spiky black hair appeared in the doorway. "Ummmm, hey kid, we're here to see Gohan, is he here right now?" Erasa asked.

"He is but he's asleep."

"Man...." Sharpner sighed.

"That's okay, who are you cutie?" Erasa asked as she ran her fingers through his spiky hair.

"My name's Goten and I'm seven!" Goten said as he held up six fingers.

"You're pretty funny kid, can we wait for Gohan to wake up?" Sharpner asked with as he smiled at the boy.

"That's okay... he's slept long enough, it's time to wake him up!" Goten said as he gestured for Sharpner and Erasa to come in. "Gohan and Videl were talking for a while last night, but it's already going to be ten thirty! And I'm hungry!" Goten said as he led the two upstairs.

Erasa looked at all of the family pictures as she went up the stairs. The family looked so cute and happy in all of the pictures. No wonder Videl wanted to be around them, at home she didn't get too much attention from her dad.

The two blondes couldn't help but giggle at the cute little boy as he skipped up the stairs and stopped at the first room. "This is Gohan's room and Videl is staying in the next room."

"Yes! They aren't in the same room!" Sharpner thought as he smiled widely.

"Oh be quiet Sharpner." Erasa whispered loudly as she elbowed him in the stomach. She knew what he was thinking.

"Good morning big brother!" Goten said as he opened the door widely and the three froze.

"What the hell?" Sharpner said completely bewildered.

"I've gotta get a picture!" Erasa said as she took out her camera and quickly took it. "Looks like Gohan's not a skinny wimp after all, Sharpner..." She whispered unable to close her mouth.

There was Gohan laying on the bed almost completely naked holding Videl in his arms. She was also dressed in a very short white nightgown and had her arms wrapped around his sides, they both looked so peaceful. Erasa couldn't help but drool at Gohan, and Sharpner couldn't take his eyes off of Videl. "Good morning Goten..." Videl yawned sitting up.

"Can't you knock squirt..." Gohan said as he stretched and also sat up.

Then there was complete silence as Gohan and Videl saw Sharpner and Erasa standing in the doorway staring at them. Everyone was shocked except for Goten who had the biggest grin ever on his face. "Sister, sister, I'm gonna have a sister.." He sang happily as he quickly left the room and skipped down the stairs then went outside.

"Uhhhh... hey... you guys..." Gohan struggled to say as his face turned extremely red.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?!" Videl screamed as she jumped out of bed and started walking slowly towards the door, just like a murderer would before they kill their victim.

"Videl calm down..." Gohan said as he slowly got up and started walking towards her.

"Hey Gohan..." Erasa said flirtatiously as she stared at him.

"Mmmmmmmm... don't you look good Videl." Sharpner said licking his lips and throwing her a big smile.

This threw Videl over the edge. She lunged at Sharpner, grabbed his hair, and started banging his head against the floor.

"Videl! STOP!" Gohan cried as he grabbed her waist and pulled her away from Sharpner.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO HAD THE NERVE TO COME HERE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?!" Videl screamed still struggling to get out of Gohan's grip. She stopped when she realized that no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't be getting out in her lifetime.

Erasa ran to Sharpner and picked him off of the floor. "We're sorry Videl! I called your dad and he told me you were here!"

"WHAT?!" Videl shouted as she again began shaking out of anger.

"He told me to barge in on you guys and stay for a few days but I was scared so I brought Sharpner along because I didn't wanna be the bad guy and I knew he would have a fun time trying to keep you guys apart so I would seem like the good guy trying to stop him from keeping you two separated I didn't mean ruin your spring break!" Erasa shouted in one breath and began crying loudly.

"Ughhhhhhhhh... it's true..." Sharpner groaned.

Gohan sighed as he let Videl out of his arms and she ran over to Erasa. "I'm sorry Erasa!" She said as she gave her a hug. "I'm not angry at you!"

"You-you-you-you're no-not?" Erasa bawled.

"No, I promise." Videl said to her friend as she hugged her friend more tightly.

"Group hug! Sharpner said sarcastically as he rubbed up against Videl from behind.

Videl growled as she grabbed Sharpner and threw him across the room. Gohan and Erasa started laughing as Sharpner struggled to stand up. "Umm... I think we should get dressed Videl..." Gohan said.

"Yeah you're right." Videl said smoothing out her nightgown.

"Actually Gohan, I wouldn't mind if you stayed like that all day." Erasa said as Gohan glowed an even brighter shade of red than earlier.

Videl again growled as she grabbed the two blondes and dragged them out of the room, closing the door behind her. "Hmmm... neither would I, but then again... I did get to sleep with him." Videl thought to herself with a huge smile on her face.

"Something funny?" Asked Sharpner.

"No... nothing at all." Videl said as she went into her room and closed the door behind her.

"If only you knew Sharpner..." Gohan said to himself. Once again, he had been able to hear Videl's thoughts. "He must be really jealous that Videl and I slept in the same bed... not like we did anything though, he should just ask Videl out. WAIT! HE CAN'T DO THAT! I'm the one that loves her!" Gohan thought to himself and then heard a large thud in the next room.

Videl got up off the floor and dusted herself off. "Did he really just think that?" She asked herself outloud as she put on her khaki shorts and light blue shirt. "I hope Gohan can still train me today, I'm so excited!" She said as she walked out of her room and stepped down the hall to Gohan's room. "Hmmmmmm, I'll just have to ask him." She said and opened the door without knocking. "Hey Goh....... OOPS!"

"VIDEL!" Gohan shouted as he turned red, he still didn't have his gi on.

"Come on, it's not like I haven't seen you like this before." She said and blushed slightly.

"Alright... were you going to ask me something?"

"Oh yeah, can you still train me today? PLEASE!" She begged and blushed even more as Gohan put on his blue gi.

"But Sharpner and Erasa are here!"

"Well... maybe we could... distract them!"

"We could... but how?" Gohan said scratching his head.

"How about I knock em' out for the day!" Videl shouted flexing the muscles in her right arm.

"Ummmmm... I don't think that's a good idea..."

"Awwwwwwwwww, I was looking forward to that!"

Gohan laughed. "I know, how about we all go for a swim, and then Goten, you and I can leave for a little while. That way, they'll still be occupied, and since we're taking Goten with us, they won't suspect anything!"

"Oh Gohan, how do you come up with this stuff? That's great!"

"I guess it's because I'm a genius..." Gohan shrugged and they both started laughing.

"Alright then, let's go Mr. Genius, let's go." Videl said as she wrapped her arms around his left arm and they walked out of the room.

As the two went downstairs they were met by a serious of whistles and "awwwwwwwwwwws". "Good morning guys." Gohan said.

"Good morning Gohan..." Erasa said completely mesmerized by they way he looked in his gi. Videl growled. "Oh! Hey Videl!" She cried.

Sharpner grinned a huge grin, Videl's shorts were smaller than usual, and her shirt was too. He was use to seeing her in baggy everything. "There HAS to be something going on!" He thought to himself as he stopped grinning and putting on a serious face.

"Something wrong Sharpner?" Gohan asked as he noticed the change of expression.

"I think..." Erasa began. "That he wants to know what's going on between you two."

The two blushed. "It's nothing Erasa! We were just talking late and I fell asleep in Gohan's room!" Videl shouted.

"Talking..." Sharpner added. "By talking do you mean cuddling and making out?"

Videl growled and clenched her fist when she felt Gohan's hand on her shoulder. "Fine then. I won't do anything to him." She mumbled.

"Thank you, Videl." Gohan whispered.

"Care to tell us what you two love birds are whispering to eachother?" Erasa interrupted.

"ERASA!" Videl shouted.

"Come on Erasa, it's pretty obvious that Videl likes me." Sharpner said as he got up from the chair he was sitting on, walked up to Videl, pulled her away from Gohan, and put his arm around her.

Videl threw him out the front door and dusted herself off "Bastard." She said plainly.

Gohan laughed. "Anyone hungry?" He asked trying to change the subject.

"FOOD!" Goten cried as he rushed inside, running over Sharpner in the process.

Everyone laughed, except for Sharpner who was in pain on the floor. "Breakfast will be ready soon Goten, I'll call you when it's done." Gohan said.

"YAY!" Goten said as he left the house and ran over Sharpner again.

"Ughhhhhh..." Was all Sharpner could manage.

Videl took a seat as she watched Sharpner struggling to get up off the floor. "I should tell Goten that breakfast is ready so he'll run over Sharpner again..." She thought to herself with a huge grin on her face.

"That would be horrible!" Gohan said as he giggled.

"What would be horrible?" Erasa asked.

"Nothing." Gohan and Videl said in unison as they began to laugh.

"Awwwwwwww, that's so cute!" Sharpner said mimicking Erasa.

"Shut up Sharpner." Everyone said.

Sharpner just silently walked to the table and took a seat next to Erasa. They all watched in awe as Gohan began cooking up a storm. Then he gave each of his friends a plate of food and watched the two blondes drool as Videl began to eat. "GOTEN! BREAKFA-" Gohan shouted.

"I'm here!" Goten interrupted as he ran in the house and sat down at the table. The two blondes began starring at Goten as he began to eat a ton of food, and then at Gohan as he began to eat even more that Goten. Videl was already used to it and just calmly ate.

Everyone finished and commented on how great the food was as they watched Gohan wash all of the dirty dishes. Erasa starred at him and then glared at Videl who had a huge grin on her face. "So, who wants to go swimming?" Gohan asked when he finished.

"Swimming? I thought that..." Goten began but was cut off when Videl covered his mouth.

"That sounds great!" Videl said winking at Goten.

"Okay then let's go get ready before it gets later. Oh... ummm, by the way, I got invited to a party yesterday and I wasn't expecting you guys to go..." Gohan said.

"Party? Who's party?" Erasa asked.

"Probably some birthday party for a five year old or something." Sharpner said and received glares from everyone.

"Actually it's for a friend. Her name is Bulma."

"Bulma... is she from our school?" Erasa asked.

"No, her name is Bulma Briefs."

"BULMA BRIEFS! THE BULMA BRIEFS!" Sharpner yelled as he and Erasa's mouths dropped open.

"Yeah, she's a family friend, she and my dad have known eachother since they were teenagers."

Sharpner and Erasa couldn't respond. "Come guys, let's get ready before it gets later!" Videl said standing up and going to her room.

"Okay!" Erasa said as she went to go through her stuff.

"I don't have any trunks..." Sharpner said.

"I'll get you some, just wait here." Gohan said as he went upstairs. "Goten go get ready!"

"Ooooooooookay Big Brother." Goten sighed as he trudged up the stairs.

A few minutes later, Videl appeared at the foot of the stairs in a navy blue low cut bikini. Sharpner was in heaven. "Quit starring." Videl said as she walked past him and hit him on the head.

"Sorry..." He said as he rubbed his forehead. Erasa then appeared in a bright yellow bikini. "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow." Sharpner cried as he was once again hit on the head.

"Idiot." Erasa said as she and Videl began to laugh.

Goten came down the stairs looking a little depressed. "What's wrong Goten?" Erasa asked.

"Me, Gohan, and Videl were gonna..." He was saying until Videl covered his mouth again. Luckily Gohan appeared at that moment. Videl couldn't help but drool, and luckily, Erasa was also too distracted to talk.

"Here you go Sharpner." He said as he threw him a pair of trunks. "I've got the towels, everyone ready?"

"Yup, everyone except Sharpner." Videl said.

"Okay, okay, I'll hurry." Sharpner said as he walked upstairs to the bathroom.

"Do you have some extra clothes to train in?" Gohan quietly asked Videl.

"No, I'll go get what I was wearing this morning." Videl replied as she went upstairs to her room to get the clothes. When she went upstairs she was met buy Sharpner. "Don't even start." She said as she walked past him.

"Videl." He whispered grabbing her arm.

"What? I told you..." Videl was interrupted as Sharpner quickly pulled her into a kiss. She struggled against him as she felt his tongue against her lips, trying to get into her mouth. She quickly pushed him away and knocked him down. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!" She screamed as she wiped her mouth with her hand.

"Videl..."

`WHAT?!"

"Videl, I love you. I've loved you since we were little." He said as he stood up and began to walk toward her.

"Gohan, if you can hear me, then PLEASE come up here!" Videl pleaded in her mind. "Sharpner, get over yourself! I don't love you, never have loved you and never will love you!" She said as she realized she was being backed into a corner.

"Something wrong?" Gohan asked when he appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Nope." Sharpner said as if his mood completely changed. "I'm all ready!" And with that he started back downstairs.

Videl quickly ran to Gohan and gave him a hug. "What happened?" He asked gently as he ran his fingers through her hair, something he had grown to love.

"He told me that he loved me and he kissed me, he even tried to force his tongue into my mouth! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT BASTARD!" She shouted.

"I'm sorry Videl." Gohan said, he didn't know how to respond.

"I told him I didn't love him and that I never would, then I started begging you to come up here."

"I heard you..."

"Thanks Gohan, please just keep him away from me." Videl begged.

"I promise." Gohan whispered as he gave her a kiss on the forehead and went back downstairs.

Videl sighed as she went and got her clothes, then went back downstairs, where Gohan was waiting for her. She could see Goten, Erasa, and Sharpner waiting by the front door of the kitchen. "Thanks Gohan..." She whispered under her breath as she latched onto his left arm and they walked into the kitchen.

"No problem Videl. It's like I said, I'll always be here for you." He whispered in a comforting tone while Sharpner glared at them.

"Awwwwwww, you guys are just too cute!" Erasa cried.

"Erasa, please..." Videl said looking down at the ground.

"Okay, I'll stop Videl." Erasa said as she laughed.

"So you guys ready?" Gohan asked.

"Yup, let's go!" Erasa said.

The group walked out of the cozy little house and Gohan lead them through the pretty area. They passed a pretty forest full of several wild flowers and huge trees. "It's so pretty here Gohan! I would love to live here, away from the city! You're too lucky!" Erasa said in awe.

"Thanks Erasa, you haven't seen anything yet though, there is so much out here it's unbelievable." Gohan replied. They all continued to walk until they came to a pretty lake that was almost completely sorrounded by mountains. "Here we are! This place should be nice because there aren't any fish or other creatures here." Gohan said as he threw all of the towels in different locations on the grass.

"Yippeee!" Goten cried as he ran to the edge of the lake and dove in, causing a huge splash.

Soon everyone was in the clear, cool water playing around and laughing. Videl went underwater and she was followed by Gohan, who began tickling her. She let out all of her air and swam to the surface while she was clutching her sides, still laughing. Gohan soon followed her and rose to the surface and began laughing along with her. Videl dove back underwater and began tickling his sides while Gohan began laughing hysterically. Erasa saw and decided to join in on the fun. She also dove underwater where Videl was and began tickling him also, even though she really just wanted to feel his muscles. Gohan took in a deep breath and dove down, trying to escape from the girls who were right on his tail. (no pun intended.) Then he crashed into Goten. His little brother was just holding him there so he couldn't move, waiting for Videl and Erasa to catch up with him. Sharpner just watched jealously as the girls began to tickle Gohan while he squirmed around trying to get to the surface. As the four arose to the surface, they noticed Sharpner glaring at them.

"What's wrong Sharpy? Are you jealous because Gohan here is getting all the attention?" She said as she began to rub his Gohan's chest and he turned a bright shade of red. Videl growled. "Oops, sorry Videl." She said as she swam slightly away from him.

"Jealous? Please, I always have plenty of girls swarming around me at school, why would I be jealous?"

"You're jealous because you want the one girl you can't have." Gohan thought to himself.

"That's exactly right, Gohan." Videl said outloud.

"What's right?" Goten asked.

"Nothing." The two replied in unison.

"You two scare me... It's like you can read eachother's minds..." Sharpner said.

"Scary? I think it's too cute!" Erasa cried excitedly.

Gohan and Videl just laughed nervously as they both sunk into the water to avoid any further embarassment. The group continued to play around for a while until Videl had enough. "Gohan... it's already twelve..." She whispered in his ear when nobody was watching.

Gohan and Videl got out of the water and signaled for Goten to also get out. Gohan was mesmerized as sunlight reflected off all the beads of water on Videl's skin and she seemed to be glowing. He snapped out of it when Videl waved her hand in front of his face. He just laughed as Sharpner and Erasa noticed them. "Umm, you guys, Goten, Videl, and I have to go do something. We'll be back in about an hour! You can stay here if you want."

"Okay, hurry back!" Erasa called as she pushed Sharpner underwater and pretended to drown him.

"Ummm, Gohan.... where are we going?" Goten asked curiously.

"Nowhere Goten, we're just going to continue with the flying lessons."

"YAY!" Goten cried as he jumped in the air.

"Goten laughed as he handed Goten his gi. "Here squirt, go change and meet us back here.

"Alrighty!" Goten said as he grabbed his gi and a towel and ran off into the woods.

"I"ll be back here in a few minutes." Videl said as she also grabbed a towel and walked into the woods.

"Okay." Gohan said as he too walked off to change into his blue gi. A few minutes later, everyone appeared at the spot. "Okay guys, let's go further away so Erasa and Sharpner can't see anything." He said as he led the two away to a nearby clearing. "Do you guys remember what I told you?" He asked them.

They both nodded. "Yup!" Goten said.

"Alright then. Now, just try to use your ki to push you up off the ground." Gohan said as he slowly began to float a few feet above the ground. "Try it you guys." He said as he landed and plopped down in the grass. After a few minutes he began to laugh at Goten, who was just hopping up and down, and at Videl who looked like she was going to explode from frustration. "No, no, Goten! You have to concentrate!" He said as he laughed.

"Okay Big Brother." Goten said as he stood in place, and began floating after a few minutes.

"Good job Goten!" Gohan cried. He looked at Videl who was still struggling. "It's okay Videl. This is going to take a while." He said reassuringly.

"Oh yeah... what about him." She said in an annoyed voice while pointing at Goten.

"BIRDIE, BIRDIE! I'M A BIRDIE!" He shouted as he soared through the sky in circles.

Gohan laughed as he quickly phased out and reappeared in front of Goten, which caused him to crash into him. "Owwwieee! That hurt Gohan!" He said as he rubbed his head.

"Listen Goten, Videl can't learn this as fast as you, and it's making her angry. So why don't you go practice flying somewhere else for a little bit ,and I'll call you when we're done."

"OKAY!" He shouted as he flew off into the distance.

Gohan sighed as he phased out and reappeared sitting down a few feet away from Videl. He noticed that she was still struggling. "Videl, you really need to calm down." He said in a soothing voice.

Videl sighed as she relaxed and took a deep breath. Gohan was nearly asleep when he felt a breeze pick up and looked at Videl to see her hair blowing in the wind. Her eyes were closed and she began to float a few feet off of the ground. "Wow Videl! You did it!" He shouted jumping up and down.

"Gohan, please!" She whispered loudly as she opened one eye and glared at him.

"Oops! Sorry!" He said as he covered his mouth and stood still. Videl sighed. She landed on the ground and then jumped on Gohan, wrapping her arms around his neck as they both fell down. "I'm so proud of you, Videl!" He cried as he sat up so Videl was sitting in his lap.

Videl blushed. "Thanks, Gohan..." She said as they gazed into eachother's eyes. There was a long peaceful silence between the two, until Videl felt the need to say something. "Thank you for believing in me Gohan..." She whispered as she hugged him tightly.

"No Problem." Gohan said as he returned the embrace.

The two continued to hug eachother. "Gohan, there's something I need to tell you..." Videl said as she looked up at him and caressed his cheek.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Goten screamed loudly as he came crashing down through a few trees onto the ground.

"Later." Videl whispered in Gohan's ear as she gave him a kiss on the forhead. Then she got up and ran over to Goten.

Gohan sighed as he also ran over to Goten. "Are you okay Goten?" He asked his little brother.

"Yeah... I'm fine...." He said as he got up and dusted himself off.

"Okay that's good." Videl giggled as she wiped a little clump of dirt of of his nose.

"We'd better be getting home so we can get ready for the party." Gohan said. "Goten you're all dirty, go home and take a bath, I'll have lunch ready when you're done.

"Alrighty!" Goten cried as he began skipping home.

"Let's go get Sharpner and Erasa." Videl said as she began walking back to the lake, but was interrupted when she stumbled and fell on her butt.

"Tired?" Gohan asked as he giggled.

"Yes......" Videl sighed.

"Okay then." Gohan said as he went and knelt down in front of her with his back to her. "Piggy Back ride?" He asked with a giggle.

"Oooooookaaaaaay." Videl sighed as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.

Gohan laughed as he held her legs and started walking back to the lake. He looked to the side and saw that Videl had falled asleep. "You're amazing Videl." He whispered. "Any normal human would've taken months to learn to control their energy, much less fly."

"Thanks Gohan..." She spoke from her deep sleep.

"Sure Videl..." He replied.

"I love you, Gohan." She said and snuggled tighter against him.

Gohan stopped right there to recover from what he had just heard. Had she finally admitted it? "Wow... Videl, I can't believe you just said that... I love you too..." He replied.

"I know you do.." She whispered softly. Gohan heard her soft breathing continue and steadily walked back to the lake.
