+++++++++++++++++++Caf� which is in West City ++++++++++++++++++
�Ok�OK� Judoka rubbed his temples �For three� he held up three fingers �LONG- LONG months Ana�we kept this �innocent�practically�and BASICALLY!! And this makes it so unnatural!� he slammed his fist on the table �But I am STILL a MAN DAMMIT�
Videl didn�t care what he said she continued to stuff her face. She nodded and added a good �yes� or �totally� once in a while. �Get it?� he asked. She gulped her soda down �Uh-uh! Right. Gotcha� He smiled at her.
�Ana�when you where dressed like this today�I was pleased�you are so beautiful�and so I thought�maybe�you remembered our promise?�
Her blush vanished and she cocked her head to the side �ah�promise Jud?�
�You weren�t gonna go home tonight� he said simply with a sly smirk. She squeaked and dropped her fork it went {KLATCLER} on her plate. �B-But I go-got school tomorrow �.and�ah yeah� she said with a nervous gesture.
�Dear Ana�why tomorrow�s SATURDAY!!!�
She froze�damn.
�Uh�heh....so uh...what did you have in mind Ka?�
�There you go AGAIN Ana! You�re avoiding the issues!� You HATE me�is THAT IT?� he roared.
{TWITCH}
Her body flew to him in a hugging embrace.
�NOOOO! *Wha? M-MY body�s reacting to him!!! �on its own�crazy�how strange this body of mine works�*�
+++++++++++++++CITY++++++++++++
�This way� Judoka smiled and pulled Videl.
Videl gasped �Wait up your gonna pull my hand right off *FAD CHANCE! NOT WITH SUCH A WEAK GRIP YOU WON�T!*�
On the red building it read:
Rest---4000 Zeni
Lodging---6000 Zeni

�Wow What a cute place!� she gasped �Huh?� she blinked �A-a Motel�Isn�t that a--�
�����������������������������������������
++++++++++++++Motel+++++++++++++++
She landed on the bed giggling �What a comfy bed JUD! And this mattress is so firm! And--� she looked at him.
He stared at her.
She gasped she saw see it coming�
Her ki soared high as she blew him away with her energy. She took off in the dust.
He groaned �Damn...what a girl�I hope she doesn�t DUMP me�maybe I can on a BIT TOO strong�hum��
++++++++++++++++++Outside the motel+++++++++++++++++++
It began to rain as Videl sat by the steps of a store.
A couple laughed and walked by enjoying each other�s company.
She cried. Why did she? He was only another stupid human!!!
�What�s wrong?� a voice asked.
�Go away� she snapped.
�I�m not going� he said and sat beside her.
�FINE� she snarled.
�You don�t have to be so mean about it�I was just trying to help! Keeping things bottled up ISN�T good for �ya�
�What would YOU know?� she placed a hand in her bang.
�Gosh you�re mean�
�What�s an understatement!� she chuckled slightly.
�You�re kidding me�
�No really� she turned and smiled. �*What the heck! Why am I smiling?*� she turned away.
�You got a nice smile! You should smile more often�
She blushed now. �I�err��
He laughed. �Nervous and shocked huh�
�I guess you�re not the shy type I take it�
�Nun-ah! It depends! You shouldn�t be sad! I should be sad seeing you sad�uh wait�
She giggled. �You�re something else�
She smiled at him again. �*Why can�t I stop smiling at him? He�s so cute�he looks about my age�but he might think I�m younger than him�or older�anything far from his age�* H-How old are you?�
�Hum? I just turned 19 last week�
She beamed.
�Ah and what�s your age miss?�
She blushed. �I�err�
�Whoops! That�s rude of me I didn�t mean to�
�No�it�s ok� she waved it way �I�m, 18 and �� she grinned �To be exact�
�I haven�t seen you around�
�I�I�I just moved here�yeah that�s it�*WHOPPS!* I mean I just got here... *THREE MONTHS TO BE EXACT!* How �bout you?�
�It�s my first year at high school�
�You�re freshmen? But your---�
�No! No! I was home-schooled most of my life! That�s all! I-I didn�t mean to confuse you�
�Yeah I get that a lot� she said.
�So�uhm not to pry but why where you crying back there?�
�I�it�s my boyfriend��
Gohan�s heart sank.
She had someone�
�I was totally preoccupied with my mission�err my job that I forgot how long we�ve been dating...and: blush: m-my promise to him��
�Huh? Promise�
Videl played with her fingers �That-which�..that we�d sleep together��
�Your not a�
�YES! I mean I still am�
Gohan sat back up. �Err�o-ok�
�How bout you?�
�Hum?�
�Are you a-still a-a�
�Of course I am�
�Sorry I didn�t mean�
�It�s ok! Everyone in school is talking about I gotta lose it�by the prom�
�What is this �prom� thing you speak of?�
�Well it�s where people talk�uhm drink�dance mostly�catch up�kiss�and others have s-se�
She tilted her head �What are you talking about?�
�S-S-Se�
�Please if you be as sooo kind as to SPIT IT OUT!!!!�
�SEX! THERE I SAID IT! HAPPY?� he said hysterically.
�As a matter of fact yes I am� she smiled.
He blushed and sat down �Err�yeah uhm sex�yeah�� he sat Indian style.
�What�s sex?� she blinked.
�Eh-ay� he fell over. �Ugh�uf!�
�Mr.? Mr.? You ok?� she blinked.
He sat up once more �UH�fine�fine��
�So what is sex?�
�It�s when-when a man and a woman�have intercourse�and sexually�so...uhm�yeah�
�Can you show me?����
�WHA? HECK NO!!!�
�WHY NOT? HOW AM I TO BELIEVE YOU WITHOUT PHYSCIAL PROOF UNLESS IT�S A DARN LIE!!!!� she then bit on her thumb nail angrily.
�: blush: I-I can�t show you�I would lose my�
�So what? You said you WANTED TO BEFORE---�
�WOULD YOU STOP PUTTING WORDS INTO MY MOUTH?�
�WELL THEN

�And your point is?�
�This isn�t going anywhere unless I show you right?�
�NOPE� she grinned.
�I-I still

She frowned �Then WHAT can YOU show me about the prom thing here and now?�
�Dancing?�
�NO!� she stuck out her tongue with a sour expression �Nuah! Something else!�
�WE could get something to drink maybe�
�No�
�Uhm�well there�s dancing�talking...where kidding doing that�uhm�dancing�drinks�uhm�se-se�intercousre...uhm kissing and there�s�
�THAT ONE! Kissing! Show me that one!�
�Huh? Bu-but�
�That or the se-se intercourse� she mocked Gohan�s stuttering.
�Fine� he grunted the blushed �I-I never done this before �so�Hummmm��
�You�re so immature� she sighed.
�AM NOT! I�m NOT the only ONE! Have YOU kissed anyone?�
�WELL OF COURSE! WHO WOULDN�T I KISS?�
�Really�? Interesting�name one�
�I�I---: blush:�
�Ah-ha! See I told �ya!��
She fumed �JERK!!!� she stood angrily and began to storm off.
She didn�t care she didn�t have an umbrella.
She ran from the bridge they sat under.
Gohan stared at her.
She cried once more but with the rain washing it away.
-----------------Flashback-----------------
�Momma! Look! Look at that it�s beautiful�.it looks like a nice place�to live� Chibi Videl giggled.
�Yes...it IS a nice place to live�but it�s filled with inferior creatures of powers compared to ours!� her mother said �Don�t let temptation get in your way of greatness�little one��
�Yes mother�.�
------------------Flashback----------------------
And that includes love�right mother? Everywhere Videl went something reminded her of home�her duties�but couldn�t THAT wait just a BIT longer? She KNEW she�d NEVER escape her lonesomeness� she never regretted ANYTHING in her life�and WHY should she?
She couldn�t believe she was in LOVE with�with a human!!! That was UNHEARD OF�and yet�she couldn�t say �no� to feeling something for him�that boy was strange�she didn�t even know his name�and yet...she kissed him�not a innocent kiss...a kiss of true love�Want�lust�love?
�*I can�t believe�I MUST NOT BELIEVE IT�because if I did�I�d be lost�*� she vanished in the rain�����
+++++++++++++LATER++++++++++
The skies grew darker�the rain more furious�the reports say that a hurricane may come within hours of West City! Videl ran until she could now longer...she was hunger�starving�tired�really sleepy� �*I MUST keep going�for my mother...For MY PEOPLE!!!! I will not fail them now!*� she groaned and got up. She scrapped her knee. �*Dammit!*� she thought. �*They�re counting on ME! I�m the last one�*�
Her views became blurry�everything seemed upside down�she felt that she could keel over!
Something caught her by the waist. �Hum?� she looked. It was that JERK! She moved from him, her scraped knee pained her and made the chase a dragging and walking one.
She fell again to her knees. He offered her his hand. She smacked it away. Her hair clamped onto her forehead. Her face was flushed, and her clothes damp.
�Please�I�m worried about you��
�I-I can I trust you to keep a secret?�
�Yes��
�But how can I be sure�?�
He placed her on her feet facing him. Her eyes shimmered with his. The rain gave their eyes a certain feeling�
He rests a hand upon her cheek tenderly. It was so soft (FACE PERVS) and yet screaming to be pinched when she smiled. She had the cutest dimples�like a baby�
Her eyes shimmered with the rain dripping off her glittery black hair.
Her cerulean eyes �they where so beautiful�and yet�different then any hues of blue he had ever seen�
His lips neared her�her breathing increased.
Why was SHE afraid?
She looked at his eyes�he showed love�but he was a HUMAN for crying out loud! She couldn�t�she MUSTN�T!!
But all of that was gone�only the two where existing�in the great moment of bliss�the rain creating a lovely melody!
He brushed his lips against her�the sweet magic�
His tongue asked for access�so let him in�their tongues battles it out�
He broke the kiss his hand still on her cheek as they stared intimately at the other�they didn�t care if it was raining Gokus� and Vegetas� in pink tutus!
Son their lips were together again�all sorrow left them�.Videl was happier than she had EVER been in the last TWELVE YEARS!!! She never knew love like this�it was so unreal�and yet real at the same time�this fluttery feeling�how to describe it�she didn�t know�or care as long as they where together�
He broke the kiss sitting on the bench and she sat in his lap one of her legs resting on the bench and the other on the floor. She placed her head on his chest and he took her hand in his and kissed her cheek. �I love you��
�Love me?� she moved away from him �I�m so sorry�I hate talk like that��
�I�m sorry I didn�t mean to�
�No�it wasn�t your fault�I fear that it won�t last�that one of us may perish without warning�I can�t take that risk�I�m sorry�I don�t hate YOU...its just m-my�*DON�T LET YOUR FEELINGS CLOUD YOUR JUDEMENT VIDEL!!!*� Images of saiyans children starving�images of a woman�and other figures. �*MY-MY DUTIES!!!!*� she ran off and stormed off.
��what a girl�a pity I don�t know your name�� Gohan said with a sly smile.
+++++++++++++++Son�s House+++++++++++++++++
Gohan looked at himself in the mirror seeing Videl in the rain like before�and then sighed.
�Did she not trust him? He could keep a secret! He was an alien�he raised an eyebrow� well half anyways! Bummer!
Maybe she was shy...yeah maybe�but then again�could HE trust HER to tell HER he wasn�t�normal�well abnormal �! Bizarre! It was funny! HIM! The guy who defeated Cell and a genius afraid and confused about women!
It still hurt�to be left in the dark...he wanted to be with HER�he wanted to KNOW her! But he hadn�t sensed or seen her! Maybe he was over reacting! It�s only been two hours! Maybe he was in love? Maybe�the thing she said about love�that hurt too�maybe she didn�t want some guy who was a geek or a �jerk� as she said! But she kissed him�a kiss of pity�no�a kiss of want�closer�love? Maybe!
OK! This was getting way too confusing! �Ok! Women in general are just confusing and not meant to be understood! Case closed� he said and sat on his bed with a grunt�though he felt as if he knew her�years ago�
�Help me�� a female voice whispered in the winds.
�*Help you how?*� he thought.
I don�t understand her at ALL!
+++++++++++++LATER+++++++++++++
Videl sighed�she WOULDN�T CRY! NOT NOW AND NOT EVER! She had tears that wanted to leave�but won�t be allowed�didn�t it show weakness�at least to her people�she couldn�t! HER PRIDE WOULDN�T ALLOW THAT AND NEITHER WOULD SHE!!
She had never been kissed�not like that �she had never been love�not like that in �years�she wanted him to be close to her�share her secret�to be held�she wanted to be with him�but he was a HUMAN! No matter WHAT she did�no way�there was only ONE WAY� she hated to do it�it was wrong�and against her beliefs of her people!
+++++++++++++++Months Later+++++++++++++++
It was the day Cell had died�it hurt so much�and yet where he least expect it�she was there�
She looked at him...the wind blew their hair�softly�his eyes emotionless�she ran to him and hugged him...he didn�t hug her�she thought he�d be thrilled�she began to fell rejected now�now more than EVER IN HER LIFE!!! Her eyes shimmered with tears.
�Hug me�hold me please Gohan�� she sniffed. His eyes emotionless�sad� �That sad face�I can�t bare it anymore�why are you�TELL ME! I NEED to know�Don�t you love me...?� she hugged him again sniffing holding him tightly �If you Do�your body is supposed to TELL me�Tell me��
�That is not my feeling...it isn�t a feeling I own�I cannot tell you what I cannot feel� he said softly. She gasped her eyes small and shimmering then she buried her face in his chest sobbing �HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? HOW CAN YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME? Are you the type of MAN that would break a promise?�
{Flooshh}
She kissed him full on the lips� breaking the kiss she sniffed once more and wiped her tears softly. �You told me�you told me YOU LOVED ME�! If-If you love someone YOUR SUPPOSE TO TELL THEM!!!� she gasped she as doing the SAME thing�shutting him out�he was shutting her out�like she did him!
She placed her hand on his cheek �I love you�Forgive me��
�Dad��
Her eyes widen� �Wha?�
�Why did you leave me? �I KNEW I should have listened�now Goten NEVER had the chance �to have a father�I made mother miserable�I caused everyone pain and--�
What should she do? He was pouring out his soul to her�what? He thought she was�hi-his father�
�Gohan�It�s NOT your fault�Your father did what was best�without his sacrifice�you may not be ALIVE now�don�t let what he gave up�be a burden�to your future�the PAST is and WILL BE THE PAST�you don�t have to forget him�just remember�it was destiny�it was meant to be�and nothing else��she said softly.
He stood looking at her�it wasn�t pity that drew him out�it wasn�t his fear�it was her love for him that FINALLY reached him�reached him in the depth of his despair and sadness�the day he lost the man he cared for so much�the man�the man...his father�Son Goku�the man who he killed�his father�he had to accept it�his father was happy�maybe not as before�.but still happy�and THAT was important right�? Hopefully it will plague him no longer���
++++++++++++++DREAM+++++++++++++
�Videl�Since you can�t love me�I don�t love you then�� Gohan got up.
�What? Wait NO!!!� she grabbed his arm. �You CANNOT! I DO LOVE YOU! I DO!�
�TRADTIOR! DESERTER!!!� Voices yelled.
Gohan vanished.
The scene went black.
Videl gasped floating in space of black.
�G-Gohan? No-No!� she cried.
�Videl! You�are a disgrace� her mother�s voice screamed.
�NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!� her planet exploded�.then Earth�
Videl gasped now awoken her eyes small as she sweated. She panted hard �Nauh�what the�?� Something was Telling her�it was almost time�time�for her mission�and LOVE CANNOT GET IN THE WAY!!! She heard her mother�s scolding her�.she NEVER knew her father�s voice�she sighed�when she does�that would be over�
+++++++++++++++++NEXT DAY+++++++++++++++++
�When am I going to learn to REALLY fight?� a small female voice cried.
�And THAT is the skill of a TRUE warrior�.� A female voice answered.
Videl looked about the city.
�LOOK! IT�S HURCULE!!!� a woman squealed with joy.
�Hercule?� a man looked.
�OMG!!! It�s really him!� some female girl screamed with delight.
The streets filled with roars and screams of cheers.
�YA!!! I AM THE MAN!!!� Hercule posed and flexed his muscles making some females faint
�He�s sooo dreamy� some cheerleader gasped.
�He saved us from Cell� men roared with pride.
�HURCULE! HURCULE! WOO! GO!!! HURCULE! HURCULE! YOU�RE THE CHAMP!!� the crowds cheered.
�*What a pathetic human� Videl rolled her eyes.
Hercule�s float (Things in parades) came to a sudden stop as he nearly fell out.
It was silent�the crowd blinked their arms still in the air�the wind blew and nothing moved.
�DAMMIT JOK WHAT�S THE FREAKING HOLD UP????!!!!� Hercule boomed.
�S-sorry sir�� he replied with a British accent �uhm�it�s�it�s� the thirty year old male, who�s quite slender stuttered and pointed to the front.
Hercule snarled with outrage ad peered over �HUH? I�S A FREAKING GIRL MY GOSH! Probably a fan girl� he smirked proudly. �She�s probably one o the WOMEN�S MEN you slept with!!!*�
�Where SUPPOSE to BE in Green�s city NOW!!! Can�t you READ THE MAP?� Hercule snapped.
�I CAN READ A MAP sir�SEE?�
Hercule cocked his head �THIS WAY!� he yelled.
�Sir�it�s upside down��
�Uh�yeah: Sweat drop: STILL I CAN STILL READ�
�SHUT-UP HUMAN� Videl snapped. She was fed up with this humanoid�s boastful ways. She should snap his neck into two!
She peered at him closely�his EYES�there where like HERS�only hers was lighter�if she looked at her mother�s and then his blended�they�d make the rare color of cerulean like hers�the rare color eyes for her race�
This human�was he�HE her�father�? That was insane� unlikely �he was so bulky�and WEAK�what could her MOTHER see�see in HIM�she couldn�t SEE anything �maybe it was that her mother was a love sick fool�her mother was a genius...especially skilled in strategies� and battle�she was an expert in motherhood�
She blinked out of her thoughts�maybe�but Cell�she had done some research�even been to this place named �Capsule Corps� nearly got caught�but she sensed �a strong force there�two to be exact. Maybe there where Kakorat and Vegeta!
�Are you going to move miss?� Jok blinked.
�NOT until I have a word with the �champ�!� she said with great sarcastic.
�And that would be?� Hercule turned from receiving a kiss from a fan woman.
�Did you have a child with a lady named Kikya?� Videl asked.
Hercule turned blue and froze �K-K-Kikya�
�YES, *that�s WHAT I said*� she thought with annoyance.
+++++++++++++++++++LATER++++++++++++++++++++
Videl knocked on the door of the Son�s house�it was 12:00 (SMILES)!
Gohan yawned and opened the door �Whose there�.� He heard nothing and yawned �Oh well�
�Gohan� Videl said.
He gasped �YOU!� he covered his mouth �Come in��
