Chapter 5 - Seduction

Gohan approached the school rapidly. In his arms, he held Videl, who was sleeping soundly. He slowed down and carefully made contact with the roof. It was quite a skilled landing.

'She looks so comfortable.' He smiled down at the girl who was snuggled up to his chest. He could hear her breathing lightly. 'I don't want to wake her up.' He now had a dilemma on his hands, literally. The hand with his Saiyaman watch was holding the back of Videl's shoulder, his other hand was scooped under her knees.

"Uh... how am I gonna do this?" Gohan asked himself, looking at the watch. "I obviously can't walk into school like this..." He inspected his superhero outfit. 'I need to push the button but how?' He switched his conversation inwards. 'I guess I have to...' He began to lean his head towards her shoulder, tilting Videl's body towards him. He twisted his hand so the watch pointed towards him. His face passed hers and he stuck his tongue out towards the button.

"Gohan? What are you doing?" Videl asked, suddenly awake. "I never took you for the perverted type." She said jokingly, aware that Gohan wasn't actually trying to french kiss her.

"Uh..." He glanced over at her. She had her eyebrow raised, obviously confused why Gohan had his tongue hanging out over her face. "I wath twying to puth da buthon." He told her, tongue still sticking out.

Videl pushed her hands against his chest, indicating for him to lift his face up. "Repeat that with your tongue in your mouth." She ordered.

He straightened his back and laughed nervously. "Sorry! I was trying to push the button on my watch." He explained, blushing at the awkwardness of the situation.

"Why?" She asked, wondering what was so important about the button.

"Well now that you're up, could you push it for me?" He asked her nicely.

"What does it do?" She was intrigued why Gohan needed to push it.

"Push it and you'll see." He grinned at her.

"Ah... alright?" Videl turned her body in his arms, reaching her hand towards the watch. "This one?" Her finger lingered over one of the buttons.

"Yeah." Gohan said, still grinning.

Videl pushed the button, unsure of what to expect. It let out a beep and Videl stared at it for a few seconds. "Umm... nothing happened." She turned and looked back at him. His helmet was gone. "Oh wait!" She noticed that his suit was gone as well. "Your costume..." She observed that he now had normal clothes on.

"Yep, it's gone!" He laughed. "The watch is how I change into Saiyaman." He explained to her.

"How?" She was confused as to how the watch worked.

"I don't know, it just does." He shrugged. "I'm sure it uses technology similar to capsules." He reasoned. Capsules seemed to make things appear out of nowhere, same as the watch did for the costume.

"Who built it?" Videl wondered who had the brilliance to put it together.

"My friend Bulma." He told her.

Videl blinked. "You mean THE Bulma Briefs?" She asked him, completely surprised that Gohan was apparently friends with the famous inventor.

"That's the one!" Gohan forgot how famous Bulma was. "She's a family friend. I met her when I was 5." He smiled, remembering how nice Bulma was the first day they met.

"You never cease to amaze me Son Gohan..." She stared at him in wonder. "First, your father is Son Goku and your mother is Son Chi-chi. Then, you're the Great Saiyaman and the Gold Fighter. And if that wasn't enough, you know Bulma Briefs on a first name basis!" She listed off everything she'd learned about him.

"That's my story." He said proudly. "Now you know my secrets..." He left out the fact that he was a half alien hybrid.

"Jeez. You are a complicated person Gohan." She laughed at this very true remark.

"Do you still want to be my friend?" He asked, worried that all this new information might push her away.

Videl was shocked by his question. She looked into his eyes. She could see pain deep inside of him. "Of course I do." She smiled at him.

Gohan eyes were distant again, like they were after he killed the gunman at the bank. "But... I'm a monster. I can't have a normal life or normal friends." His face drifted downwards, full of sadness.

"Gohan! Stop right now! You are not a monster!" Videl was mad that he thought such a thing. "You are a hero!" She slammed her fist on his chest, making Gohan flinch in surprise. "If you weren't here, I would be dead and god knows who else would be dead!" She was hammering her fists on Gohan's chest. "So don't you dare call yourself a monster Gohan! Don't you dare!" She gave him a stern look.

He stared into her eyes, at a loss for words. She was truly angry at him for feeling that way about himself. "But you don't know anything about me or my past. You don't know what I am or what I'm capable of." He told her, remembering back to his fight with Cell. He became angry and killed without a second thought. His Saiyan nature took control of him and made him enjoy ending lives and causing pain. That wasn't something he wanted her to see. Ever.

He lowered Videl's feet to the ground, allowing her to stand. 'He has a point... but he's Gohan for crying out loud! He wouldn't hurt a fly...' Then her mind reminded her of what happened earlier. Gohan had just killed a man. She remembered the look on his face as he charged at the gunman. His eyes were wide and wild, his nostrils were flared and he bared his teeth. His whole attitude became animalistic.

She looked up at Gohan. He was thinking about something intently, and it was depressing him. 'He's obviously killed before but...' She analyzed him. 'He regrets it and it's eating away at him...'

"Gohan." Videl said softly.

He slowly brought his eyes back into focus and looked at her. She wrapped her arms around him and leaned her head against chest. "If you weren't who you were, I'd be dead. And no matter what you did before or what you do now, I will always be your friend." She told him truthfully.

Gohan felt himself melting away inside. All of his guilt and regret began to dissolve. His very core filled with happiness. He had a normal friend that didn't care if he was a freak or a killer. His whole body tingled at her touch.

"I promise." Videl said and brought her lips to his cheek, giving it a kiss.

Gohan blushed and smiled. "Th-thank you..." He looked away, too shy for such an occurrence.

"We should probably go back to class." Videl said, back to her normal attitude.

"You're going to the nurse." Gohan said quietly, surprising her.

"Uh, no." She said stubbornly.

"Videl, you're exhausted." He said, watching her labored breathing and sluggish movements.

"I'm fine." Videl crossed her arms and looked away.

"I will carry you kicking and screaming if I have to." Gohan crossed his arms, waiting for her decision.

"I will jump off this building if you even try." She narrowed her eyes at him.

"And I'll catch you and bring you in the front door. That would actually save time! Lets do it!" Gohan joked, knowing that he would win this argument.

"No thank you, I'll take the stairs. And I'm not going." She replied defiantly.

An idea popped into Gohan's head. "Alright Videl, I'll make you a deal. If you can make it all the way down the stairs without assistance, we won't go to the nurse." He told her.

Videl thought about it. The school was only 5 floors, she could make it.

"Alright deal." She said confidently. She turned around to face Gohan. He was already at the door, holding it open and beckoning for her to walk through.

"After you." He said with a smile on his face. Of course he knew Videl would accept a challenge!

Videl walked by him, arms still crossed, giving him a loud "Hmph!" as she passed.

Gohan chuckled and followed her, shutting the door behind them...

Two minutes later...

If you were on the first floor of Satan City High School, looking at the stairs leading to the roof, this is what you would've seen:

A tall, spikey haired boy with a big grin on his face walking down the stairs carrying a small, pig-tailed girl with her arms crossed in a pouting manner. Too bad the halls were empty!

"Son Gohan, either you get rid of that grin or I'll slap it off your face!" She yelled at him, giving him a dirty look.

"I win!" Gohan gloated. "You're going to the nurse."

Videl just ignored his comment and continued to pout.

Gohan got to the bottom of the stairs and turned left, heading towards the nurse's office.

Videl had given up but then she got an idea. 'He may be a superman but he is still a teenaged boy.' She thought with a devious smile.

"Gohan..." Videl said quietly.

Gohan looked down at her. "Yes Videl?" He asked.

"Please don't make me go to the nurse." She put on her cutest puppy-dog face.

Gohan raised an eyebrow at first but saw through her trick. "Sorry Videl but you are going." He told her sternly, continuing to walk to the nurse.

'Looks like I'm gonna have to push a bit harder...' Videl thought, kicking it up to the next notch.

"Pretty please...?" She asked in a sweet, innocent voice, using her finger to draw circles on his chest.

"Uh... no." He hesitated at first but laid down the law. "You're going. Sorry." He felt bad but it was for her own good.

'Alright Gohan, you asked for it.' She thought, preparing herself for her final trick.

Videl sat up in his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Please Gohan..." She asked seductively, putting her face in front of his.

Gohan was very surprised by this action. "I... Uh..." He stuttered and started blushing.

Videl felt like she had the upper hand now. "Lets just go back to class..." She whispered into his ear, still using a seductive tone.

Gohan stood in the middle of the hallway with Videl attempting to seduce him just to get out of going to the nurse. He continued to stutter. Videl never acted like this before.

"Pretty please Gohan..." She pretended to beg him, giving him a wink in the process.

Gohan loved the attention he was receiving but was very confused. "Videl..." He said her name. He could feel the animal side of him rising to the surface, his Saiyan blood began to stir. "Please stop..." He didn't know what was happening inside of him but he could feel himself losing control.

Videl was winning. "Nuh uh Gohan..." She continued to use her naughty voice.

Gohan was getting antsy. "If you don't... I don't know what I might do." Gohan warned her, worrying what would happen if he lost it.

'Oh yes Gohan, who's the winner now?' She laughed in her mind. "I'll stop as long as I don't have to go to the nurse." She gave him a proposition.

Gohan calmed down and suppressed his inner "demon". He looked at her sternly. "What a dirty trick." He said, figuring it out. Gohan then regained control of the situation.

He pulled Videl's arms off his neck and continued to walk to the nurse with her in his arms.

"You suck." She told him, disappointed that she had gotten so close to victory just to fail. She crossed her arms and started to pout again.

"Just be glad I stopped you! Any longer and I would've mauled you!" He exclaimed suddenly, unaware of what he just admitted.

Videl gave him a dirty look. "Oh really? Well that would sure be a lot better that getting a needle jammed in my arm!" She said stubbornly, not even acknowledging that Gohan just talked about sexually attacking her.

Gohan walked up to nurse's door. "Sorry Videl." He told her teasingly and pushed the door open.

The nurse saw them walk in and stood up. "I knew you'd be back! That shot was just a temporary fix!" She said loudly.

Videl groaned. 'I hate needles...' She whined to herself.

"Why did you leave?" The nurse asked Videl.

Gohan started talking before Videl could say anything. "She decided to sneak back to class. She said she was fine but now she can barely walk. As it turns out, she's afraid of needles." He told the nurse, figuring out why Videl didn't want to come back.

Videl groaned again.

"You didn't seem to mind it earlier." The nurse stated. She had given Videl a shot earlier and Videl didn't seem to mind.

"That's 'cuz I was unconscious..." Videl grumbled.

"Oh I see..." The nurse replied. "Well set her down here again." She pointed at the same bed Videl laid in earlier.

Gohan obliged, walking over and setting her on the bed. He noticed that she was sweating and breathing heavier than usual. "Calm down Videl." He said softly.

The nurse walked over. "Don't worry dear, I won't give you another shot." She told the hyperventilating girl.

Videl's breathing immediately slowed. "Oh thank god." She sighed.

"I gave you the shot so I could wake you up enough for some tests. When I came back you were gone!" The nurse explained. "You are plenty awake now for tests."

"Sounds fine to me." Videl didn't care what happened as long as needles weren't involved.

"Alright Miss Satan don't run off this time!" The nurse told Videl then turned to Gohan. "You stay here and watch her or else you'll just end up carrying her back again!" She laughed.

"Alright." He agreed, giving the nurse a small chuckle.

The nurse turned and went into the back room.

"See? Attempting to seduce me was unnecessary! You don't even need anymore shots." Gohan laughed, talking to Videl.

Videl gave him a glare. "Shut up. You enjoyed it." She began to pout at first but then winked at him, pretending to be flirty again.

"I... uh... umm." Gohan stammered and his face turned red. "It was unnecessary." He laughed nervously, not wanting to admit he enjoyed it.

"Be nice or I'll never do it again!" Videl stuck her tongue out.

"That's probably a good thing." Gohan said quietly, he had a nervous smile. "I don't know what I would've done if I didn't stop you." He warned her, his face was radiating heat.

"Oh? Gohan has a naughty side?" Videl asked teasingly. She loved to make him nervous and jumpy, she thought it was cute.

"I'll explain it to you later." He chuckled, thinking about his Saiyan ancestry.

"Why not now?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because you might go into shock." He laughed, even though he knew she possibly would if he told her he was part alien.

"Is teasing you dangerous?" She asked, confused by what was so bad about harmless flirting.

"No but..." He didn't know how to explain it. "I don't have as much control as normal guys do..." He felt his face heat up.

Videl smiled. 'That could be fun, I'll remember that.' Her dirty side thought. "Well then I guess I know how to manipulate you." She cooed.

"I think you'd end up manipulated..." Gohan said very quietly, blushing and trying not to think about what would happen if Videl successfully seduced him.

"Challenge accepted." Videl laughed. She could handle saying dirty things to Gohan. After all, he is really attractive.

Gohan was blushing quite a bit. He just realized that Videl was apparently looking forward to seducing him. 'I bet its the exhaustion.' He reasoned to himself. 'She wouldn't normally be like this.'

He was partially right. The exhaustion was the cause for her speaking and acting this way, but these were definitely her true feelings. She was very much attracted to him.

'He's so adorable.' She watched him closely. He was bright red and trying not to make eye contact with her.

"You didn't run off again did you?" The nurse asked as she entered the room with her supplies.

"No I'm still here." Videl told her, putting on a pouty face. She really didn't like anything to do with doctors, nurses, hospitals... or anything medical for that matter!

"She's going to be a good patient. Right Videl?" Gohan said, looking at Videl with a grin. He finally managed to calm himself down.

She turned her head and closed her eyes with a "hmph!" The sooner this was over, the better.

"It won't be that bad dear. I just have to measure your heart rate, your blood pressure and other simple stuff like that. We'll be done before you know it!" The nurse comforted Videl.

Videl let out a breath of relief. She felt better knowing that it was just the basic doctor stuff.

"Heh, you are just like my father. He hated needles and hospitals!" Gohan told her, remembering how his father acted around medical tools and facilities.

Videl just ignored him. "Can we please hurry? I just want to be done." She directed her attention to the nurse.

"Oh yes, I'm all set." She walked over with the blood pressure cuff and heart rate reader...

Several minutes and tests later...

"Ok Videl, we're all done." The nurse announced. "You are just sleep deprived. Go home, take some sleeping pills and get a good nights rest." The nurse smiled.

Videl was glad that nothing was seriously wrong. "How come I wasn't sluggish all morning? I felt fine until I started to pass out?" Videl asked.

"I'm not entirely sure but I bet it has something to do with you being as fit as you are. Any normal person never would've even woken up this morning in your condition!" The nurse gave a chuckle.

"Oh... Ok." Videl felt the answer was sufficient. "When will I be back to normal?" She presented another question to the heavy-set woman.

"If you get a couple nights of uninterrupted sleep, you should be back to your old self." The nurse estimated with her hand on her chin.

'Uninterrupted? That could be a problem...' Videl thought to herself, glancing at Gohan. 'He's been invading my dreams for weeks!'

Videl sat up, feeling a little better after her quick nap in Gohan's arms. Little did she know that Gohan took a detour on the way back to school, letting her sleep for about 45 minutes. "How much time is left for school today?" She asked.

Gohan glanced at his watch, which, despite being the Saiyaman Watch, actually told time. "About an hour." He told her.

"I suppose we should get back to class. They're probably worried." Videl told him, talking about Erasa and Sharpner mainly.

"Uh... yeah." Gohan hesitated, remembering that he had been gone most of the day. How was he gonna explain this?

Videl saw the slight panic in his eyes. She knew what to do. "Excuse me, nurse?" She called over to the lady filling out paper work at the desk.

"Yes Miss Satan?" She looked up.

"Can you write us a pass back to class? Our teacher didn't like us coming back without one last time." Videl lied. Neither of them had been in class since they left this morning.

"Of course I can." The nurse smiled at her and pulled out a slip of paper. "What is your name?" She asked Gohan.

"Me? I'm Gohan Son." He told her.

"... and Videl Satan." The nurse said, writing down their names on the paper. She ripped the paper out of the pass book and handed it towards them. "Here you are." Gohan reached out and took it from her.

"Thank you ma'am." He said politely, then looked at Videl. "Are you ready?" He asked.

Videl nodded and stood up, stumbling a little bit. Gohan grabbed her arm and stabilized her. "Careful." He said.

She regained balance and looked up at him. "Thanks." She said quickly.

"Do you need me to carry you?" He asked, forgetting about Videl's friskiness when she's in his arms.

"No I can make it. I don't trust myself right now anyways. Or you for that matter!" She laughed, referring to their earlier incident in the hall. Gohan blushed at her honesty.

"Good idea." He said shyly, trying to not make eye contact again.

Videl watched him move his eyes around. "Well aren't you cute." She said mockingly. "Lets go Romeo." She walked past him, grabbing his shirt and pulling him towards the door.

"Yes of course my fare Juliet!" He decided to joke around with Videl. She opened the door and walked through, dragging him with, leaving the nurse by herself.

"Ah young love! Those were the days..." The nurse said happily to herself...

"If I was Juliet, the whole play would've been different. I wouldn't have waited for Romeo to drag his feet and I definitely wouldn't have let my father pick a husband for me!" She said half-joking with a serious undertone. "I don't care how strong dad is! I'd kill him in his sleep!" She continued ranting.

"Oh my..." Gohan felt like he shouldn't be hearing this.

The subject of her father made her think about something. "Gohan?" She said his name suddenly.

"Uh yeah?" He responded, wondering what broke her out of her rant.

"Seven years ago..." She started to say.

'Oh crap.' Gohan knew were this was going.

"There was a group of mystery fighters at the Cell Games. You were the little boy weren't you?" Videl asked. She knew he was but wanted him to admit it.

Gohan stared at her blankly. "Uh..." He didn't know how he could deny it. "No! He had-" He started to say but then remembered that Videl witnessed his Super Saiyan transformation earlier. "blonde... hair..." He realized he couldn't get out of this one.

Videl noticed his sudden realization. "Would you like to try again?" She asked smugly.

Gohan sighed, tilting his head down. "Fine... It was me..." He mumbled.

"What?" Videl didn't hear his low voice.

"It was me." Gohan said louder. 'If she finds out I beat Cell instead of her father... It could tear her whole world apart...' He thought. "Maybe I'll just alter the truth a bit..."

Videl's face lit up. "I knew it! You were the kid that fought Cell!" She exclaimed, finding another piece to the puzzle called Son Gohan.

Videl remembered watching the Cell Games at home. She was absolutely amazed when Gohan stood toe-to-toe and held his own. He had incredible power and was a genius fighter. Gohan dodged nearly every attack Cell threw at him until Cell got the upper hand and started beating him. Then Cell spawned the miniature versions of himself and sent them after everyone. Videl got to watch most of the Cell Games until the camera broke, which left her wondering what really happened to Cell. Did her father really beat him? Or was it Gohan and his friends? Personally, she always doubted that her father won, especially when everyone else was fighting on a whole different level.

"What happened?" Videl asked after several moments of thought. "I mean what really happened?" She watched him, waiting for his side of the story.

"What do you mean?" Gohan asked. He thought she believed Hercule beat Cell like everyone else did.

"The whole world was watching you fight Cell. You were doing fine; dodging, blocking and taking every hit like a pro and then he started to win. He created the little copies of themselves and sent them to fight your friends..." Videl told the story from the viewer's side of the television. Gohan listened carefully, not sure when the camera finally broke. "Then you like exploded or something and the TV went out. My father came back hours later and announced that he beat Cell. Is it true?" She asked, not sure how she would feel if her father had lied. She would be mad at him for lying but happy that Gohan and his friends actually won. Likewise, she would be happy if her father did beat Cell but would be disappointed that Gohan didn't win. It was a Win-Lose scenario either way.

Gohan looked at her. She was staring at him like he was the answer to the universe. 'I can't tell her...' He made the decision in his head. Gohan cleared his throat and put on a serious face. "Cell knocked me out. All of my friends tried to fight him after me but lost..." He explained, changing the truth as to not upset her. "When we all came to, Cell was dead." He told her, not wanting to actually lie and say Hercule beat Cell.

Videl stood there frozen, she felt multiple emotions conflicting inside of her. She was happy to hear that her father apparently beat Cell, but was disappointed that Gohan did not. "But... your father is clearly a better fighter than mine!" She said, remembering the fight Goku and Cell had in the beginning of the Cell Games. "If he couldn't win, how could dad win?" She asked, unsure what to believe. "Are you sure your dad didn't beat him and just let my dad take the credit?" She wanted Gohan and his friends to be the real heroes.

Gohan looked at her, sadness took over his emotions. "My..." He started to speak but paused as visions of his father appeared...

The memory replayed in his mind...

"Hey, you put up a good fight Gohan, I'm proud of you." Goku told Gohan, appearing in between him and Cell.

"What? Daddy?" Gohan looked up at his father.

"Take care of you're mother for me she needs you , tell her that i had to do this Gohan." Goku smiled, feeling pride for having Gohan as his son. "Goodbye my son." He gave a last farewell to Gohan and then disappeared, bringing Cell with him...

Gohan had been still for a couple of seconds as he watched the memory play out in his head. Videl waited patiently for Gohan to respond.

"Cell... killed my father." He told her finally.

"Oh..." Videl said, feeling regret for bringing it up. She wanted to know the truth but, like earlier, she felt bad for finding out because it hurt Gohan. "I'm sorry Gohan..." She said quietly.

Gohan pushed his painful memories deep down inside of him and forced a smile. "It ok Videl. It was a long time ago." He said, trying to change the subject.

Videl knew it was a fake smile but decided to drop the subject of the Cell Games. He would tell her everything later, she knew he would. "We should go to class now." Videl said, pointing her thumb over her shoulder.

"That would probably be a good idea since we've been gone all day." Gohan said. He started to laugh because it was true. Suddenly he stopped. "Uh, what are we gonna say? You have an excuse for being down at the nurse but I don't. I was supposed to escort you there and go back!" He explained, worried once again.

Videl started thinking about it. "Hmm..." She put her hand on her chin. "Ah!" She snapped her fingers, obviously having an idea. "Don't worry about it." She smiled at him, not saying what her plan was.

"Well aren't you gonna tell me?" Gohan asked her, wondering why she wasn't explaining.

"No." She told him quickly.

"What? Why?" He asked her, quite confused.

"Because it will be better if you don't 'remember' anyway." Videl said with a grin. She knew he would be confused.

"Why wouldn't I remember?" He felt little worried about Videl's idea.

"You'll see." She laughed.

They approached the door to their classroom. Gohan was fidgety.

Videl knocked on the door a couple of times and then opened the door. The professor, Ms. Hamilton, was standing behind her desk with a book open in her hand. She had been lecturing but stopped.

"Ah, Mr. Son and Ms. Satan, welcome to class. I hope you have a pass considering you are over ten minutes late." She asked them with her usual accent.

Gohan walked over and handed her a pass. "Here you go ma'am." He said politely.

Ms. Hamilton read it carefully. "The nurse? Is everything alright?" She looked up at them

"Yeah, everything's fine." Videl said with a smile and started walking up to her seat. Gohan grinned nervously at the teacher and then followed.

Videl sat down at her spot between Erasa and Sharpner. Gohan sat down at his a couple seconds later. Gohan noticed his notebook and folder was already here, so was Videl's. Then he remembered that Erasa would bring Videl's stuff to their next class if Videl had to go fight crime and didn't get back in time. She must've grabbed Gohan's stuff too.

Erasa leaned over to Videl. "So... you and Gohan were doing it in the janitors closet weren't you?" She whispered.

"Absolutely. We were doing it for hours." She said in a boring and sarcastic tone.

"I know you really weren't so where were you guys really?" Erasa asked, her face really close to Videl's.

"Well we went down the nurse, she said I am sleep deprived and gave me an adrenaline shot. Gohan passed out after watching the nurse give me the shot, then I went to the bank to take care of the problem, leaving Gohan at the nurse. When I came back, he was still unconscious so I woke him up and dragged him back to class." Videl she explained, not telling what really happened. You could tell she was clearly tired because she was panting from just giving that long explanation.

Erasa turned to Gohan and smiled. "A little woozy when it comes to needles?" She asked him, teasing his apparent fear of needles.

"Uh not exactly." Gohan started to explain. "I'm not afraid of needles, I just get nauseous when friends and family get blood drawn or needles poked into them." He lied.

"Aww that's sweet." Erasa said in a girly voice. "You saw Videl getting the needle and your little heart couldn't take it." She said, winking at him.

Gohan started to blush and looked down. "... Something like that..." He said quietly.

"Oh Gohan, you are just too precious." Erasa said, getting really close as she said it. Gohan of course blushed and tried to ignore her. "Isn't he Videl?" She turned around to look at Videl.

She had her head resting on her arms, flat on the desk. "Mmm hmm." She replied, not even hearing what Erasa said. She was too tired to care.

Sharpner laughed, figuring that she wasn't paying attention. "So Videl, are you and Gohan gonna go out on a date and eventually get married and have 10 children?" He asked jokingly.

"Mmm hmm." Videl replied, her mind was on auto-pilot. She wanted sleep.

"Yeah, Videl's not in right now, please leave a message." Sharpner said to Erasa and Gohan, pretending he was an answering machine.

Erasa started to laugh. Gohan did too, with a nervous undertone since he was part of the joke but found it funny nonetheless.

"Hey Videl? Isn't Gohan so hot? Don't you just want to take him into a bedroom and never come out?" Erasa asked her.

"Don't ask her that!" Gohan said in a loud whisper, not wanting the teacher to hear him.

Videl heard someone call her name. "Uh huh." She said, not even paying any attention.

Erasa and Sharpner began to crack up after hearing Videl's "mindless" answer. Ms. Hamilton heard the commotion and looked up.

"Ms. Marker, Mr. Pencil! May I ask what is so funny?" She asked them with a glare.

They both stopped laughing and sat very still.

"Sorry Ms. Hamilton! Just a joke! It won't happen again!" Erasa spoke quickly.

"I certainly hope not." Ms. Hamilton threatened. "Now where was I?... Ah yes!" She started to lecture again.

Gohan looked over at the two. "That's what I call karma." He whispered at them with satisfaction.

"But it doesn't change the fact that you guys have the hots for each other." Erasa stuck her tongue out. She wasn't going to let Gohan have the last laugh.

He let his forehead fall to the desk. "I just can't win can I?" He grumbled to himself.

Erasa watched him until she was certain she was victorious. Once she knew that she had triumphed, she returned her attention to the lecture.

Gohan peaked over at Erasa, Sharpner and Videl. Erasa was watching Ms. Hamilton, Sharpner was leaning back with his hands behind his head also watching, and Videl was sound asleep.

Gohan smiled when he saw her body slowly rising and falling. He enjoyed watching her sleep. It made him feel calm and peaceful inside.

Erasa watched him out of the corner of his eye. She saw his goofy smile as he watched Videl. 'Oh yeah, he's got it bad for her.' She thought, evaluating his obvious attraction. "Oh Gohan." She said to him, breaking his trance.

He flinched when she spoke. "Uh yes Erasa?" He asked her, unaware that she had been watching him.

"Pay attention." She gave him a wink as she pointed to the teacher.

Gohan sat there for a minute, clueless as to why she told him that. When it finally hit him that she had seen him watching Videl, he blushed and nervously responded. "Oh... yeah." He quickly turned his head to watch the lecture. 'Now Erasa will be absolutely convinced that I'm in love with Videl...' He scolded himself for being careless. 'Maybe she won't say anything about it.' He hoped, even though he knew it was very unlikely. Gohan pulled out his pencil and notebook and began to take notes from the lecture...

Later, in the final minutes of class...

Ms. Hamilton closed her book, finishing her lecturing after she noticed the students begin to get stir-crazy and excited for the end of the day. "Alright class, that concludes today's lesson. Enjoy your weekend and I'll see you Monday." She told them, allowing them to prepare their things.

Gohan closed his notebook and let out a sigh. He was glad school was over, he wanted to sleep in tomorrow. Erasa did the same, for the same reasons, then looked at Gohan. "So..." She started to say.

'Uh oh.' Gohan felt himself tense up. 'What does she want?' He looked over at her. "So... what?" He asked, dreading what the answer might be.

"So what're you gonna do this weekend?" She smiled at him.

'Phew.' He let out a sigh in his mind. "I don't know. Probably sleep in and relax." He told her. That was literally his plan.

"Well Sharpner, Videl and I are gonna hangout sometime this weekend, would you want to join us?" Erasa asked. "I know you live far away but you could spend the night at Sharpner's house or my house or..." She put on a devious smile. "Videl's..."

Gohan was oblivious to the intent of the smile. "Uh maybe. When are you gonna hang out?" He asked.

Erasa put away the devious smile, noticing that Gohan didn't even react. "Probably tomorrow night. You could come over tomorrow and spend the night then go home Sunday." She laid out her plan for him.

"That would be fun." Gohan told her. He liked the idea of being with people his own age outside of school. "I'll make sure my mom's alright with it and let you guys know." He smiled at her.

Erasa returned the smile. "Sounds great. I'll give you our numbers, grab your notebook." She told him. He obliged, handing her his notebook. Erasa scratched each of their cell phone numbers into it, and slid it back to him.

"Thanks." Gohan said, smiling as he put his notebook back into his folder.

"We'll probably end up spending the night at Videl's house. That's usually what happens." She explained to him.

Gohan looked over at Videl. She was still fast asleep. "If she even wakes up tomorrow." He said with a chuckle.

Erasa turned towards Videl. "Wake up sleepy head! Schools over!" She raised her voice, poking Videl.

Videl stirred slightly. "Mmm..." She let escape from her mouth. "I'm... good..." She said, meaning that she was fine sleeping there.

"Wake up dummy! You can't sleep here all weekend!" Erasa was still talking loudly and pushing Videl.

"No..." Videl whined, still trying to sleep. Suddenly, the bell rang.

Sharpner stood up. "I've got to get over to the gym for boxing. Let me know what the plan is tomorrow." He told Erasa.

"Okey-dokey." She told him and returned to shoving Videl.

"Alright see ya." Sharpner said and shuffled out of the classroom with most of the class.

"Videl, get up! Class is really over!" Erasa started shaking her again but she was fast asleep.

Gohan stood there waiting. "I don't think she's going to wake up." He said, watching Erasa's futile attempts.

Ms. Hamilton walked up to them. "What's going on?" She asked with her thick accent. Her, Erasa, Videl and Gohan were the only people left in the room.

"The nurse said she's sleep deprived and now she is asleep and won't get up." Gohan told her.

"Oh I see... Ms. Marker, you and Videl are good friends right?" Ms. Hamilton asked Erasa.

"We've been best friends for years, why?" Erasa didn't know why the teacher asked such a strange question.

"Well I assume you've been to her house before then?" Ms. Hamilton continued.

"Yes, many times." Erasa replied.

"Then perhaps you and Mr. Son could bring her home to her father." The teacher purposed her solution, then looked at Gohan. "That is if Mr. Son can carry her." She said, even though she knew he had plenty of muscle.

Gohan blushed slightly. "I suppose so." He said, even though he's already carried her numerous times today.

"Good. I'm sure you guys can figure out how you'll go about it then?" Ms. Hamilton looked back and forth between Gohan and Erasa.

"Yeah we can figure out the rest. Thanks for the help Ms. Hamilton." Erasa said to her. She liked the idea of Gohan carrying Videl around.

"You're very welcome. You all have a good weekend." She said to her students before turning around and walking towards the door. Once she was out of the room, Erasa looked at Gohan. "Well hop to it!" She smiled, moving out of the way for Gohan.

Gohan blushed and walked over to Videl. He gave her a shake. "Please wake up?" He asked hopelessly. He knew Erasa wouldn't let this go if he carried her home home.

Videl didn't even budge. She continued her deep sleep, much to Gohan's dismay.

"Alright we've already figured out that she isn't going to wake up anytime soon, so just pick her up and lets bring her home." Erasa told him. She didn't want Videl to wake up now! This was too perfect!

Gohan sighed. "Alright." He said as he slowly slid Videl's chair out. He held her upper body up as he pulled the chair all the way out. He then knelt down and brought his arm under her knees and his other arm behind her back. Kicking the chair out of the way, he picked Videl up in his arms. She felt light as cotton to Gohan.

Videl moaned and adjusted herself in his arms, turning her head and upper body towards Gohan. She was still sound asleep.

"Ahhh that was cute! She's so comfortable in your arms Gohan!" Erasa loved Videl's reaction to Gohan.

Gohan blushed. "Can we go now?" He asked Erasa. Normally he would be just fine with carrying Videl but with Erasa around, it felt awkward.

"One sec!" Erasa said, pulling out her phone and pointing it at Gohan and Videl. Click! "Ok now we can go." She told him after taking their picture.

"Was that really necessary?" Gohan felt so embarrassed.

"Absolutely!" She winked at him.

Gohan groaned. "Fine." He gave up. "Grab our folders please." He asked politely and started to walk down the aisle.

"On it!" Erasa said happily, picking up all their folders and following him. Gohan stopped at the door to let Erasa open it for him, which she did.

"Thank you." He told her as he went through, careful not to bump Videl into anything.

They walked to their lockers and gathered their things. Erasa knew Videl's locker combo and Gohan told her his so he didn't have to put Videl down. Gohan, with the help of Erasa, got his backpack on and they walked out of the building.

"Hey Gohan?" Erasa looked over at him.

"Yeah?" He replied, looking back at her.

"Do you know where Videl lives?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure everyone does." He said with a smile. "It's the biggest house in the city!" He laughed.

Erasa laughed too. "Ya that's the one!" She said, remembering just how big it is. "That's where we'll meet tomorrow when we hang out." She explained to him. "We'll probably stay the night there too."

"Alright. I'll call later tonight and let you know if I'm able to come." Gohan told her, he didn't mind spending the night at Videl's house.

"Call Videl sometime tomorrow and let her know. She'd need to talk to her dad about having a friend over that he's never met." Erasa said, knowing how Mr. Satan is with Videl and boys.

Gohan thought it was a trick to get him to call Videl at first but then he remembered Videl talking about her father before. "Ok, I'll call her early tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure she won't be up in the morning if she's this tired!" He said with a chuckle, looking down at Videl. She was snuggled up to his chest in a deep sleep. He enjoyed having her in his arms, it made him feel important.

Erasa noticed the look in Gohan's eyes. "So what do you think?" She asked him with her usual sweet tone.

Gohan gave her a confused look. "About what?" He asked.

Erasa gave him a big smile and then nodded her head at Videl. "Sleeping beauty." She giggled.

Gohan blushed and laughed nervously. "What do you mean?" He wasn't sure what Erasa was asking.

"What do you think of her?" She kept smiling at him. "I'm not trying to embarrass you or poke fun at you, I just want to know what you think of her." She said in a semi-serious voice.

Gohan looked down at Videl and thought for a couple seconds. "Well she's a little pushy..." Gohan chuckled.

"Oh trust me I know." Erasa laughed at her friend's unusually nosy attitude that she'd had for years. "What else?" She continued to dig into Gohan's thoughts.

Gohan kept thinking. "Well I know she hates when people look at her as an extension of her father. She can't tell if people truly want to be her friend or if they just want to be close to her because who her father is." He gave his analysis of Videl.

Erasa was surprised by Gohan's answer. "Did she tell you that?" She asked him.

"No I can just tell. That's why she acts cranky to most people." Gohan laughed, thinking about Videl's occasionally rude attitude. "But you really can't blame her..." He said, feeling bad for her.

Erasa smiled. "Did you know that Videl considers you a true friend?" She asked him, watching his reaction carefully.

Gohan smiled back. "Actually yes." He laughed. "She told me that." He said, remembering Videl telling him she would be his friend no matter what. He felt his heart beat faster when he thought about her hugging him and kissing him on the cheek. Her lips were soft and sent shivers down his spine.

Erasa's eyes got wide. "Really!? When!?" She wanted to know how that conversation went.

"Today at the nurse. She fainted on the way there and I had to carry her the rest of the way. She was so out of it. That's when she told me." He told Erasa. That's not how it really went but he wasn't about to tell the true story.

"Oh wow." Erasa was shocked. "She's really coming out of her shell." She looked at Videl in Gohan's arms. "She hasn't even told Sharpner anything like that! You must be really special." She smiled at Gohan.

Gohan gave a nervous chuckle. "Yeah I guess so." He said, thinking about his superhero activities. 'I guess my crime-fighting can be considered special.' He thought with irony.

They were getting close to Videl's home, only a block away.

"You've never met Mr. Satan have you?" Erasa asked Gohan.

Gohan thought back to the Cell Games when he met him. "Nope." He lied. "Will he be upset that I'm carrying his daughter?" He asked, remembering how Videl said her father was.

"If you showed up by yourself, yes." Erasa laughed at the thought of Mr. Satan opening the door to see Gohan carrying his unconscious daughter. "But he knows me and he'll be fine once we explain what happened."

Gohan had the same thought as Erasa and laughed as well. "Yeah I suppose that would be strange."

They walked up to the mansion gate. The intercom system turned on. "Hello, who is this?" It asked.

"Erasa Marker." She told it.

After a couple of seconds it responded. "Hello again Ms. Marker, give me a second and I'll buzz you in." The voice said.

"Thank you." Erasa said loudly. The intercom buzzed and the lock on the gate clicked. She pushed it open and walked through, with Gohan following right behind her. They both walked up to the door and Erasa rang the doorbell. After thirty or so seconds, it opened and an older woman stood there.

"Oh my! Erasa, what happened!?" The lady asked Erasa, worried why Videl was unconscious.

"Don't worry Mia! She's just sleeping!" Erasa began to explain. "She's exhausted and has been asleep for a while now. Its nothing serious." She eased the maid's worry.

"Oh thank goodness, I thought she got hurt." The maid let out a sigh. "Come in." She motioned for them to enter.

Erasa and Gohan walked in and Mia closed the door behind them. "Mr. Satan is out right now, he'll be back later." She told them. "Why is Videl like this?" Mia asked immediately after, curious as to why she was so exhausted that she had to be carried home.

Erasa turned and looked at the maid. "We don't know. Gohan went with her to the nurse and she said Videl was sleep deprived." She explained.

Mia recognized Gohan's name, looked at him, smiled. "I know why..." She said, almost to herself.

"Why?" Gohan asked, worried about Videl. The maid was surprised by Gohan's directness.

"She's just been having dreams and waking up in the middle of the night, that's all." Mia explained, examining Gohan carefully. She could she that he was built and was carrying Videl with ease. 'I see why you've been dreaming about him Videl, he is a cutie.' Mia thought, a smile formed on her face.

"Oh, well the nurse said she should take some sleeping pills and get some sleep once she got home." Gohan relayed the nurse's orders to the maid. Mia was really impressed by Gohan. He seemed like a sweet boy.

"Ok lets get her up to bed. Can you carry her up the stairs?" Mia asked him. Gohan looked at the stairs.

"No problem. Where's her room?" He smiled and asked.

"Third door on the left." Mia answered with a smile. Gohan turned and began walking to the stairs. Mia turned to Erasa. "He's such a sweetie." She whispered, making Erasa giggle. Gohan was already half way up the stairs by then.

"I know right!" Erasa said loudly to Mia. They both started scaling the stairs after Gohan.

Gohan walked up to Videl's room. The door was cracked open so he pushed his back against it to open it all the way. When he saw her room, he was amazed. Her room was huge! It was the size of 10 of Gohan's room. She had a king sized bed, a huge flat screen TV, a balcony through glass doors and a walk-in closet. He brought Videl over to her bed and carefully sat her down. She was still sound asleep and didn't even notice. Gohan saw a small blanket on her bed and covered her up with it. She turned onto her side and curled up in it. He looked over at her bulletin board and saw pictures and newspaper clippings of Saiyaman. Gohan walked over and inspected them closely. He then noticed his name written down next to Saiyaman's. It was a comparison list. She had written down all the similarities between him and Saiyaman.

"Wow she's thorough." He said to himself, reading the list.

"That's Videl for you!" Mia said, surprising Gohan. He turned around and saw her and Erasa.

Erasa walked over to Gohan and looked at the bulletin board. "Yeah she thinks you're Saiyaman alright." She laughed at the numerous photos and clippings.

Gohan laughed nervously. "I guess we do look alike..." He didn't know what to say.

"I don't know... I think he's taller and bulkier." She looked at a picture of Saiyaman. "Oh well. I'm sure Videl will find out eventually." She shrugged. "Anyways, I have to get going. My mother and I are going to the mall in a little while and I don't want to be late!" She told Mia and Gohan.

"It was nice to see you dear. Are you and Sharpner still planning to come over tomorrow?" Mia asked.

"Yep. Gohan will probably come too." Erasa smiled at Gohan.

Mia smiled too. She finally met the boy Videl had been dreaming about and she wanted to get to know him better. "So is Gohan a new addition to your group of friends?" She asked Erasa.

"Yep. He fits right in." Erasa replied watching Gohan. He wasn't even paying attention because he was mesmerized by her huge room and cool stuff.

They watched him as he wandered around, examining things closely. He looked like a kid in a candy shop.

"Well I really have to go. See you tomorrow Mia." Erasa said to the maid. "Bye Gohan!" She called over to him as he looked at her punching bag in the corner.

"Huh?" He stopped examining the punching bag and turned around. "See you later." He said and walked over to them.

"Remember to call Videl tomorrow and let her know if you are going to hang out with us and spend the night." Erasa reminded him.

"Will do." He smiled.

"Good. See you tomorrow, maybe." Erasa giggled and walked into the hall.

"Bye dear." Mia said as she walked out.

"Bye!" Erasa gave her finally goodbye and walked down the stairs and out the door. Gohan saw a weird lamp on Videl's desk and started to look at it.

"So Gohan, tell me about yourself." Mia asked him. Interested to find out more about Videl's 'crush'.

"Um well I'm Son Gohan. I go to school with Videl and Erasa. I love to eat. My favorite color is red." He started to list of random things about himself. The lamp, however, got the best of him. "How do you turn it on?" He was frustrated, unable to find a switch of any kind.

"Put your hand by the bulb and snap your fingers." Mia was amused by his curiosity. Gohan reached his hand up towards the bulb and snapped. The light turned on.

"Woah. That's so cool!" He said, sounding like Goten. He snapped his fingers again and it turned off, then snapped it on. He repeated this for a while.

"So... are you and Videl dating?" Mia decided to ask him directly.

Gohan almost broke the bulb, he was so shocked. "No, no! We are just friends! We don't like each other like that!" He was flustered and turning red. Mia noticed how he'd reacted. She could tell he liked Videl.

Mia laughed. "Ok I was just checking." She smiled at him. "Where are you from?" She continued to ask more questions.

"East District 439." He said casually.

Mia looked shocked. "Isn't that like 500 miles away?" She asked

"Yeah, it's a long ride." He laughed.

"Why don't you move here?" She asked, not understanding why he'd travel so far everyday.

"I don't mind the ride and I love nature. And I don't think I'd like city life. I'm just used to living out in the peace and quiet." He told her.

"I see. What do you do with your free time if you don't live in the city?" She asked him.

"Usually I study or go wandering in the wilderness. Sometimes I'll train or play with my little brother." He explained his extracurricular activities.

"Train? So you are a martial artist!" Mia exclaimed happily. Remembering that Videl said she might be interested in Gohan if he was a fighter.

"Uh yeah." He was confused by the maid's sudden excitement.

"Videl loves to fight." Mia tried to push Videl into Gohan's head.

"Oh trust me, I know." He said without realizing.

"So you are the Saiyaman then?" Mia asked him and then watched him for his reaction.

Before Gohan could say anything, Videl began to stir and let out a big yawn. She then sat up slowly.

"Oh Videl! You're awake!" Mia walked over to her. "How do you feel?" She sat on the bed next to Videl.

"Tired." Videl said with very low energy. She looked over and saw Gohan. "Gohan? Why are you here?" She asked him. She had been unconscious for hours and was unaware what was going on.

"He carried you home from school dear." Mia smiled at her.

Videl suddenly remembered all the events of the day. She looked at him with different eyes. He was no longer the mystery boy in her class, he was Son Gohan, the man under the Saiyaman suit and the boy who stood up to Cell. "Oh, thanks Gohan." She smiled at him.

Gohan returned the smile. "It was no problem." He told her.

"Obviously not. Considering you have super strength." She laughed. Gohan froze and didn't know what to say.

Videl noticed his surprise at her comment. He didn't want her to say anything because Mia was around.

"Don't worry Gohan, Mia won't tell anyone." Videl assured him with a smile.

"So you are the Saiyaman!" Mia smiled. "We were just talking about that before you woke up." She told Videl. It was Videl's turn to freeze.

"Uh... What else did you guys talk about?" She looked at Mia, scared of what she might've told Gohan.

"He was just telling me about himself that's all." Mia winked at Videl, letting her know that she didn't tell him about her dream. Gohan didn't notice the wink because he was still surprised that Videl told Mia he was Saiyaman. He began to relax. If Videl could trust her, so could he, he figured.

"Oh ok." Videl said quietly, hoping that Mia wouldn't embarrass her.

"Erasa was here a few minutes ago but left to meet her mother. She told me that Gohan is going to hang out with you guys tomorrow and spend the night." Mia told Videl.

Videl looked over at Gohan. "Really?" She asked him, not sure if Mia was just playing with her.

"Well Erasa invited me and really wants me to. If my mom is ok with it, then I would love to come over." He grinned and rubbed the back off his neck.

Videl smiled. "Alright, I'll tell dad that I'm probably going to have another friend over. He may be a little... jerky to you at first but he'll act normal once he gets to know you. He was like that to Sharpner the first time he met him." She told Gohan and laughed, remembering how her dad intimidated Sharpner.

Gohan laughed too but then got quiet. "You aren't going to tell him about... me, are you?" He asked, referring to the Cell Games.

"No, your secrets safe with me." Videl grinned at him.

"How do you do all that amazing stuff by the way?" Mia asked. She thought they were talking about his Saiyaman secret. "Is it technology?" She wondered. Videl listened closely because she wanted to know the source of his power also.

Gohan sat there for a minute. "Well... its not technology..." He didn't know how he was going to explain it. "I use natural energy in my body called ki." He told them. They stared at him.

"Well I'd hardly call it natural." Videl was confused.

Gohan smiled. "No, its natural. Everyone has it." He explained. "I just have more control and practice with it. That's how I fly and shoot energy waves at people."

Videl looked at him and got excited. "Wait! Does that mean I could fly too!?" She leaned forward on the bed, hoping for him to say yes. She'd love to fly.

"Yup. You just need to learn how to control your ki." He explained happily.

"Could you teach me how to fly? Please Gohan?" She asked with puppy-dog eyes.

Gohan looked at her for a second and then smiled. "Sure, its really easy. I was going teach my brother so I could teach you both." He told her.

Videl's face lit up. "Cool! Thanks Gohan!" She was clearly excited.

"But not until your rested, right Gohan?" Mia looked at him.

"Yep. You need to catch up on your sleep." Gohan laughed. "What kind of dreams have you been having that have been waking you up?" He asked, remembering his dream about her. Videl blushed and looked away.

"Just some nightmares thats all..." She said quietly. The vision of Gohan in her dream filled her head, making her blush even more.

Mia laughed at Videl's reaction. "We'll just give you some sleeping pills and you'll sleep straight through the night." She said, still laughing about Videl's actual dream. Videl remained silent.

"That's what the nurse said to do." Gohan said loudly.

"I know, I was there." Videl reminded him, a little grumpy that Mia was laughing at her.

Gohan looked at his watch. "I suppose I should get going, my mother is probably wondering why I'm not home yet." He said, thinking about his mother's impatience.

Videl looked up at the clock. School had only been out for about 40 minutes. "But you live 500 miles away! How fast do you fly home!?" Videl asked him, shocked that his mother would expect him home so quickly.

Gohan thought about it for a minute. "Well a half an hour or so if I keep a steady pace or about five minutes if I go really fast." He said, not really thinking about how fast that was to Videl and normal people.

"Wow..." Videl stared at him with amazement. "Could I fly that fast?" She asked him, full of hope.

Gohan looked at her. He knew she'd probably never be able to fly as fast as him but he didn't want to tell her that. "Not right away. I've been flying since I was a small boy so I've been doing it my whole life. But if you practice enough and master your ki, you definitely could." He told her.

Videl was happy to hear that. "Ok, I'll do my best!" She wanted to be able to fly really fast. Gohan smiled at her determination. Mia looked a little worried but felt happy that Gohan and her would be spending time together. She thought Gohan was a nice boy.

"Well I really should get going now." Gohan said, looking out the window. He remembered he wanted to see if Vegeta would spar but Gohan decided maybe some other time.

Videl stood up out of bed. Her long nap gave her some energy. "Alright." She was a little disappointed.

"And I'll tell my mom you're a fan of hers. I'm sure she'd love to meet you. Perhaps you could come out there and I'll teach you how to fly. Then you could meet her too." Gohan said as he walked over to the balcony doors.

"That sounds great!" Videl had some newfound energy. "Just let me know when." She told him.

"I will. I'll call you tomorrow around noon and let you know if I'm coming over and also when my mom would like to meet you." Gohan said, opening the balcony doors at the same time.

Videl walked over to him. "Ok, I'll be around." She laughed, knowing that she'd be lounging around tomorrow.

Mia walked over too. "It was nice to meet you Gohan." She told him, putting her arm around Videl.

"It was nice to meet you too, ma'am." He told her politely, bowing to show respect.

Videl reached out and gave him a hug. "Thanks for everything Gohan." She told him happily. He hugged her back.

"No problem." He smiled. Once they broke out of the hug, he backed out onto the balcony. "I'll talk to you later!" He said as he began to hover.

Mia was astonished to see him floating, even though she knew he could fly.

"Bye!" Videl waved to him as he hovered high into the air. He waved back and started to fly away. Mia and Videl watched him until he burst into a white ball of light and disappeared into the horizon.

"Well he certainly is extraordinary!" Mia said, breaking the silence.

"Tell me about it." Videl sighed, watching as his white tail of energy disappeared. Mia smiled at Videl's goofy smile.

"Lets get you to bed dear." Mia said, deciding not to comment on her obvious attraction to Gohan.

Videl shut the balcony doors and turned around. "No complaints here." She said, walking over to her bed. Mia left and came back with a glass of water and sone sleeping pills. Videl didn't really want to take them but she didn't argue. She dropped the pills in her mouth and slammed the water.

"If I'm not up by noon tomorrow, wake me up." Videl told Mia, handing her the empty glass.

"Alright dear." Mia said, walking over and closing the curtains. Videl's room grew very dark, which pleased Videl. She climbed under the covers and laid her head down on the pillow.

Mia walked over to the lamp Gohan was fooling around with and snapped it off. The room was now completely dark except for the light from the hallway and the partial sunlight coming through the sides of the curtains. "Do you want anything to eat before you go to bed?" Mia asked as she walked to the door.

"No thanks. Just sleep for me." Videl yawned and closed her eyes.

"Ok goodnight Videl." Mia said, slowly closing the door behind her.

"Goodnight." Videl said as the door shut. She was absolutely exhausted. She felt tingly and numb from her body working on overtime to keep her awake. The bed felt more comfortable than it's ever felt before. She couldn't even think consciously anymore because her body finally decided to give in. The sleeping pills and the exhaustion took over and Videl was asleep within a minute. Previously, she had been plagued by dreams of finding out Gohan's secrets and Saiyaman's identity. Now, she would be plagued by dreams of Gohan and his amazing body and abilities, not that it was a bad thing. She could feel herself slowly falling for him. He was so different than any other guy. His politeness and innocence made him absolutely irresistible to her.

(I wonder what will happen when Gohan spends the night...)
