I no longer own that cup of noodles but it was good.

(A/N)

Welcome to my first fan fiction everyone! This story is mainly a Gohan/Videl fic but their will be some other prominent characters including one main OC. I'll try to include most of the Z fighters but all of them probably won't make an appearance. This is also by no means an action fic, It is mainly a little bit of all genres but fighting will only be referenced and I will not be going into detail about the fights. All fights I mention will more than likely be spars or minor complications. (Example being Sharpner trying to hit on Videl and getting punished for such). Anyway, if that's not your cup of tea then I don't recommend reading this fic. I'm assuming you all have read the summary so I think I'll leave it at that. I'll include an A/N at the beginning and end of each chapter if necessary. Enjoy chapter 1!

´I've helped save the world several times, I'm the strongest known being in the Universe, I'm one of the smartest people on the planet after Bulma, yet I can't even ask Videl to go out with me.´ Gohan thought.

"Why are girls so confusing!" Gohan cried out loud.

Chi-Chi turned her attention away from the dishes and smiled at her first-born son. "I'm sure this has to do with Videl, right?" asked Chi-Chi.

"I've just never experienced these feelings with someone before, I care a lot about Videl but we haven't really talked about 'us' since she found out I was alive on top of Korin's Tower," Gohan replied. "I know we both care for each other but, the truth is, I'm afraid I'm going to hurt her."

Chi-Chi gave her son a confused look, "What do you mean Gohan? You would never hurt Videl, or any of our friends for that matter." she said.

Gohan walked over and picked up one of the dry plates which cracked under his touch."I haven't learned to control my awakened power yet mom, I bruised Videl's ribs by simply hugging her." Goku chose that moment to walk in the kitchen. With his Saiyan hearing, Goku was able to hear their conversation from the living room.

"Why don't you just train your body to control your power? That's what I had to do when I ascended to super Saiyan 3! I remember when I first ascended to super Saiyan 3! I nearly destroyed the Grand Kai's car! Boy was King Kai mad!" Goku laughed.

"It's not that simple dad, I've already tried with Piccolo and the outcome was a big crater under me with half a mile of trees blown away by the tremendous force. I don't want to harm the earth...or Videl..." Gohan replied worriedly.

"Then leave!" Goku said like it was obvious.

"WHAT?!" Chi-Chi screamed. "How could you tell my sweet little innocent boy to leave?!" Chi-Chi yelled while she whipped out her frying pan.

"No, no, Chi-Chi that's not what I meant! OUCH! Where does that thing come from anyway?!" Goku replied being chased around the dining table by Chi-Chi. Gohan, who completely understood what his father was trying to tell him, decided to visit Bulma. Gohan quickly rushed out of the house and flew off towards Capsule Corp to get away from his mother's wrath before he suffered the same fate as his father.

Gohan, taking his father's advice, decided to try to train his power to be controlled in an environment that he wouldn't feel bad if he wreaked havoc upon. Not that Gohan would do that on purpose of course. In order to do that, Bulma would have to lend Gohan a space ship for him to travel to an uninhabited planet for him to learn how to control his power.

Gohan landed with a soft thud as he arrived at Capsule Corporation. The last thing he saw was an orange and lavender blur before being tackled to the ground.

"Big brother!" Both Goten and Trunks shouted happily.

"How's it goin' squirts? Gohan replied brushing himself off as he picked himself up off of the grass.

"What are you doing here?" Trunks questioned Gohan.

"Aww please don't make me go home big brother!" Goten squealed.

"Don't worry guys, I'm not here to break up your guy's fun. I'm actually here to talk to your mom Trunks. Gohan replied.

"What is your business with the woman brat?" A voice snarled coming from a nearby tree revealing to be none other than the Prince himself.

"Oh, hi Vegeta! I didn't notice you over there." Gohan chuckled rubbing his neck in the all to familiar 'Son' pose. "I just wanted to know if Bulma would be willing to help me control my newly awakened power." Gohan grinned. Vegeta, agitated that he was reminded how, yet again, surpassed in power by Kakarot's first brat, just grumbled mentioning something along the lines of a spar later while walking back inside of Capsule Corp.

Trunks and Goten led Gohan to the lab, where Bulma was working on a new invention. Upon entering the room, they saw Bulma coming out from under a big machine covered by a tarp. Bulma was in blue overalls and a white undershirt with oil smeared all over her face, hands, and clothes with some marks on her skin that were probably burns from the electrical wiring.

"What'cha working on Bulma?" Gohan said announcing his presence. Bulma, noticing her son and her god sons, let out a smile after seeing Gohan. She hasn't seen Gohan in nearly a month after the Z-Party celebrating the defeat of Majin Buu.

"Hey Gohan!" Bulma replied. "I haven't seen you or Videl in a while, have you guys been busy?" Bulma winked making Gohan blush and resort to the 'Son Grin'.

"Actually Bulma, I have been trying to control my mystic form with Piccolo to control my strength." Gohan nervously replied.

"Oh, okay. So what brings you around Gohan?" Bulma asked.

"Well actually, it's about what I just mentioned. I can't train my body to get used to my power without endangering Earth and it's inhabitants. I want to travel to an uninhabited planet to train without worrying about hurting anyone." Gohan explained.

"I have the perfect ship for you Gohan! It's not done yet but it's much faster than any ship we've encountered. Come by tomorrow and I'll let you know how soon you can leave." Bulma replied.

"Thanks Bulma! You're the best!" Gohan said giving Bulma a hug.

"OUCH!" yelped Bulma.

"Oh sorry Bulma, this is why I need that training hehehe..." Gohan sheepishly said.

"It's fine Gohan, it's not your fault an oversized piece of gum forced you to become stronger. Just try to be careful against people who aren't aliens." Bulma grunted.

Gohan then remembered that Bulma never answered his earlier question. "By the way Bulma, what is that new invention you were working on?" Gohan questioned curiously.

Bulma just smirked and said "You'll find out soon." after that she went back to work. ´I am such a genius´ thought Bulma.

Gohan decided to go ahead and head home with Goten before they missed supper. That was definitely not on Gohan's to do list. Gohan turned around to see that both of the chibis were gone. ´I wonder where those two little devils ran off to.´ thought Gohan.

Gohan walked back outside searching for Goten so they could leave. Gohan, still being wiped out from training earlier today with Piccolo, decided to try to conserve what energy he had left and decided to take an easier approach in finding his little brother. "GOTEN! IT'S TIME TO GO HOME OR YOUR GOING TO MISS SUPPER!" Gohan yelled out.

Almost instantly an orange blur went rushing past Gohan. He managed to catch "Race you big broth-" before being out of hearing range. Gohan, with a smirk, decided to let his little brother get a 15 second head start. He figured that, with the distance from CC to his house, Gohan would still manage to beat Goten only going at half of his maximum speed. Gohan finally took off breaking the sound barrier as soon as he lifted into the air.

By the time Gohan got home, he figured he had a good 2 minutes until his brother arrived. Deciding to taunt his little brother, Gohan got himself relaxed on the couch.

When Goten finally walked through the door, he saw his brother sleeping on the couch. Goten jumped on Gohan's chest successfully waking him up. "Hey squirt, finally decided to come home?" Gohan teased.

"Why are you so fast? I'll never beat you." Goten pouted.

Gohan ruffled his little brother's hair. "You'll get there eventually squirt. You have a lot more years ahead of you."

"TIME FOR DINNER KIDS!" Their mother called. With that, Goten's mood did a 180. The Son household had a normal dinner discussing their day. After dinner, Gohan and Goten retreated into their bedrooms after a long day. Gohan wanted tomorrow to come as soon as possible. For a few reasons.

Gohan woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon and eggs. ´Didn't we have bacon and eggs yesterday?' Thought Gohan. ´Oh well, no matter what mom's cooking it will always be better than rice all day for a year straight. I hope I never have to experience that again.´ Gohan thought, reminiscing about the time he spent in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Goten opened the bedroom door and stared inside their bedroom checking to see if Gohan was awake yet. Goten broke the habit of jumping on his brother to wake him up in the morning due to the fact that he went flying through their bedroom wall the last time he did that. Gohan's new mystic form seemed to just buff his base form. Think of it as a new form of Super Saiyan that doesn't have an off switch. His mystic form doesn't seem to affect the power levels of his super Saiyan forms. Gohan wasn't even sure if he could ascend to Super Saiyan anymore. He didn't mind though, Super Saiyan always had the unrelenting rage that followed with its power. Gohan prefers his mystic form in which he is calmer, allowing him to be more strategic in battle unlike his fight with Cell where his rage consumed him and clouded his judgement.

"Big brother! Breakfast is ready and me and dad can't eat 'cause mom said no one gets to eat until you wake up so can you wake up because me and daddy are reeealy hungry please!" Goten managed to say all in one breath.

"Haha, sure thing squirt, just let me get dressed. I have a few things I need to do today so do you want to go to Trunk's house to play?" Asked Gohan.

"Really! I can't wait! But...I have to ask Mom first...she might make me study again today." Goten replied sadly.

"Don't worry about that Goten, don't you remember when Mom said she was going out shopping with 18 and Marron? I'm sure she won't mind." Gohan reassured.

"All right!" Replied Goten, leaving the room allowing his brother to get dressed.

´Goten has so much energy and is so carefree. He's like father in almost every way.´ Gohan thought happily.

Gohan quickly dressed into a gray short-sleeved Capsule Corp t-shirt. It's fabric was meant to expand whenever the Saiyans powered up, which increased their muscle size and height. It is very similar to the Saiyan battle armor in that aspect. Gohan also chose his short-sleeved shirt over his usual long-sleeved attire due to Videl insisting he wore more clothing that showed off his muscles. Gohan being his naïve self figured that Videl told him this because Sharpner always called him Nerd Boy and wanted to shut him up. Gohan also decided on standard Capsule Corp blue jeans.

Gohan ran off a mental checklist on the things he was doing today. The first thing he would do is drop Goten off at Capsule Corp and pick him up when he went to talk to Bulma about his trip. He reasoned that it would be better for him to talk with Bulma later rather than sooner today due to Vegeta's early morning temper. He would be forced to spar as soon as Vegeta saw him and he didn't want to be late for his plans today. Erasa decided last week that Videl, Gohan, Sharpner and herself were all going to see a movie together that came out today. Not wanting to upset the blond, reluctantly agreed.

´At least Videl will be there.´ thought Gohan.

After finally getting dressed, Gohan greeted his family who were all waiting for him at the dining table and they all started to dig in. After breakfast, Gohan kissed his mother on the cheek and told her he would be home by supper and that Goten would be at Capsule Corp. Gohan then retrieved his little brother and they both blasted off towards Capsule Corp. After dropping Goten off, Gohan checked his Saiyaman watch to see what time it was. It read 9:30 AM, leaving him and an hour and a half until he had to meet up with his friends. Gohan transformed into his alter ego and made his way to Videl's house to see if they could kill some time while they waited.

Upon landing in front of the Satan mansion, Gohan looked around to see if anyone was watching him. Sensing no one in his immediate area, he transformed back into his Capsule Corp outfit. Thankfully, no one knew about him being Saiyaman from the big reveal at the WMAT. The wish that was made to erase everyone's memory of Majin Buu also erased everyone seeing who Saiyaman is. The only non Z-Fighters who knew of his identity was Videl and her father. Gohan walked up to the Satan Mansion and knocked on the door. He heard a dog barking in which he assumed was the Satan family's new puppy named Bee. After a few short moments, none other than Buu himself opened the door with a bowl of pudding in one hand and Bee in the other.

"Hey Buu! Do you remember me! It's Gohan!" Gohan greeted joyfully.

Buu narrowed his eyes at Gohan before smiling widely. "Buu remember you! You strong guy! You are sexy guy too right?" Questioned Buu.

"Uhh well I don't know where you that from, but I am strong." Gohan replied nervously while instinctively rubbing the back of his neck.

"Me remember now! Mr. Satan's daughter call you sexy! Oops!" Buu shrieked. "Buu not supposed to tell anyone, don't tell or me turn you into chocolate!" Threatened Buu.

´So, Videl thinks I'm sexy? Well that's good to know.´ thought Gohan before replying. "Don't worry Buu, your secrets safe with me. Do you know where Videl is by any chance?" Questioned Gohan, who didn't sense Videl's ki anywhere and assumed she had it suppressed.

"Ms. Satan talked to the mustache guy and ran away, Buu haven't seen since then." Answered Buu.

´Hmm, mustache guy? He must mean the Satan City police chief. She might need my help, I doubt it but I'd feel better if I was watching her.´ Thought Gohan. "Thanks Buu, I think I know where she is, stay out of trouble now." Gohan said while transforming and preparing to take off.

"Buu will! Bye strong guy!" Buu shouted at the now flying Saiyaman. ´Buu out of pudding...Me turn lamp into chocolate!´ Thought Buu while he was heading back inside the mansion.

´I wish I could just fly down and take these thugs out. I don't want to reveal that I can fly though or I won't be left alone for ages.´ Thought Videl as she landed her Jetcopter in the middle of the street beside a police barricade.

Jumping out of her vehicle, she immediately started jogging towards the Chief so that he can shed some light on the situation. She's going to have to make this quick because she didn't want to be late for her date with Goh- err, her get together with her friends at the movies. She had to constantly remind herself that she wasn't actually dating Gohan. She slowly became more agitated by the day at that boy. She has dropped so many not-so-subtle hints that she was interested in him. Her stubbornness won't allow her to ask Gohan out. Her mind told her she didn't want a guy in her life while her heart said differently. She just decided to wait for Gohan to make the first move.

"Hey Videl." The chief said seeing Videl jog towards him successfully knocking her out of her trance.

"Hey Chief, what do we got?" Videl questioned casually. This has become second nature to her.

"We have 3 armed men with several hostages. The head honcho seems to be the guy with the shotgun. He's already shot and injured one officer. It seems he's using slug rounds. The other two just have handguns." The Chief informed.

"What are their demands?" Questioned Videl.

The chief got a light blush at this question "I'd err...rather not say..." the chief responded.

"Chief..." Videl urged him.

"Well Videl, he uh, he said he wanted you. I don't mean you, I mean you." The Chief answered, gesturing to Videl's body.

Now it was Videl's turn to blush. "Oh...Well he'll be getting a piece of me all right, he's going to get my fist in his face!" Shouted Videl hitting her left hand with her right.

All of a sudden, Videl and everyone around her heard what sounded like a man screaming in pure agonizing pain. Videl, thinking that the thugs were harming a hostage, immediately ran inside of the surrounded building only to see the 2 henchmen cowering in fear by the corner while their leader was on the verge of tears. His right arm was broken in 2 places while he looked to have multiple broken ribs. Videl then noticed who the person who brought the thugs down.

"Go- I mean Saiyaman?! What are you doing here? And did you have to break him that badly?" Asked Videl.

Gohan stood over the thug before leaning in close enough to the thugs ear. "If you ever even mention Videl's name again, I will find you and castrate you. While you're at it, don't try to pull a stunt like this again." Whispered Gohan loud enough for only the broken thug to hear. He then turned around and smiled at Videl.

"Hey Videl, I just thought I would go ahead and take care of these guys for you. As for this guy, well I may have heard of what he demanded and I may have went a little overboard." Gohan said.

"Well I didn't need your help! I'm perfectly capable on my own thank you very much!" Videl shot back. Little did Gohan know, she heard what Gohan said to the thug and was flattered at the protectiveness that Gohan was showing her. ´Wow, he's like my knight in shining armor, well, more like my Saiyan in spandex. I'm always more feminine when I'm around him.´ Thought Videl.

"Gee, I'm sorry Videl, I couldn't really control myself..." Gohan admitted sheepishly.

"Whatever, it just saves me from getting blood on this outfit. Let's cuff 'em and get out of here." Videl added.

After cleaning up the mess those thugs made, Videl prepared to head back into her Jetcopter until she was stopped by Gohan. "Uhh Videl, you know we have that thing to attend to in about 30 minutes right?" asked Gohan.

"Yes I remember." Videl replied cheerfully. ´Man, her mood did a complete 180 mentioning the movies.´

"Well do you want me to fly us there? I'm a lot faster than your Jetcopter." Gohan grinned at the thought of being able to hold Videl in his arms all the way to the movies.

"Fine I guess." replied Videl who was bubbling with excitement on the inside at the thought of Gohan holding her.

Videl then capsulised her vehicle and Gohan gently swept her off her feet holding her bridal style. Videl buried her head into Gohan's chest as he took off at high speeds. Gohan only went slightly faster than Videl's Jetcopter so he could hold Videl for as long as possible. He knew Videl could fly and didn't need to cover her face from these winds that she has been accustomed to for months now, but Gohan didn't object and found that he thought Videl looked cute like this. This was one of the few times that her feminine side was shown. Videl also knew that she didn't need to cover her face but she also knew that Gohan was going suspiciously slow. But, like Gohan, she didn't object. She could stay like this forever.

Gohan finally landed at a nearby park and reverted back into his CC outfit when he was sure no one was looking. Videl noticed that he took her advice of wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and she must say that she really like how the CC brand clothing really shows off Gohan's muscles. "...Videeel, anybody home?" Gohan asked. Videl then realized she was staring and turned away to hide her blush.

"I'm sorry Gohan, I zoned out, what were you saying?" Asked Videl.

"I was saying that we should head to the theater. Erasa would have our heads if we were late. We still have about 15 minutes and the theater is only about a 10 minute walk away. Are you ready to go?" questioned Gohan.

"Of course! Let's not waste any time." Videl responded.

After a couple of minutes of awkward silence, Gohan finally started a conversation. "So Videl, now that we're out of school. Where do you plan on going to college? Bulma will be opening up her own University in West City in a couple of months. I'll be heading there." Gohan asked.

"Bulma told me about that and I've heard about it. It's no cake walk in getting accepted I heard. Every student will be accepted by Bulma or a few others she has selected to accept students. I'll probably also end up going there with you. Sharpner is too dumb for college and he just wants to pursue martial arts anyway. Hopefully Bulma will accept Erasa, she's a lot smarter than she lets on." Videl responded.

"I've noticed, and don't worry about Erasa, I'll make sure she gets in, I'm one of the select few that Bulma trusts to accept students." Gohan happily replied.

"Thanks for that, I'll just have to find a place I can stay at in West City where I won't be hounded by the vultures at." Videl replied glumly. She was obviously not looking forward to that search.

"You don't have to worry about that either! I know the perfect place for you to stay at!" Gohan replied.

"And where might that be?" Videl questioned curiously.

"You can stay with me!" Videl then blushed at the thought of living in the same house as Gohan. They aren't even officially together! "I'll be staying at Capsule Corp. I'm sure Bulma wouldn't mind you occupying a room there." Gohan continued.

With that, Videl let out an internal sigh and was relieved and somewhat disappointed at what Gohan said. "I'd like that. I'm good friends with Bulma anyhow and I can play with Trunks and Goten more as well!" Videl smiled at the thought of the two chibis. With that final statement, the two finally reached the theater right on time. The two saw their blond friends sitting at one of the tables talking to each other.

Erasa was the first to notice the pair and a smirk went on her face as she noticed them. ´Aww look at those two! I already hear the wedding bells! If only those two would finally get together. Hopefully my plan of watching a Romantic fighting movie will get those two in the mood.´ Erasa thought.

"Hey guys! Over here!" Erasa called out. After the two sat down with their friends, Sharpner was the first to question them.

"What were you doing with my girl Nerd-Boy. Is he bothering you babe?" Asked Sharpner now directing his questions towards Videl.

Videl, who was surprisingly calm, just got up from her seat and stood about a foot away from Sharpner. "For one, I'm not your 'babe', 'girl', or anything for that matter." Videl then punched him in the gut hard. "Secondly, it's none of your damn business where I am or who I'm with." snapped Videl as she kicked Sharpner in the shin making him collapse in pain. Videl went right back to her seat as nothing happened.

Gohan realized he had his fists clenched together so tight he almost bruised himself. Luckily, no one noticed. Gohan had never felt so protective over Videl before, they're not even a couple! Nonetheless, Gohan was relieved that Videl handled the situation or he feared he would have been out of hand so to speak.

"So, what are we watching Erasa?" Gohan asked trying to lighten the mood.

"We're watching a romantic fighting movie called 'Breaking Hearts'. I figured I would like the romance and you three would enjoy the fighting. The movie just came out today!" Erasa responded cheerfully.

Too bad that both Gohan and Videl had already seen this movie. Having very influential people like Hercule and Bulma as connections can get you places. Like a movie that isn't out yet in your own personal home theater. Bulma and Chi-Chi watched 'Breaking Hearts' last week while Gohan and the chibis were forced to watch as well. As for Videl, well let's just say that Majin Buu is a big softie on the inside. He loves his romance movies, the fighting was merely a bonus. Needless to say, Videl also had to endure the movie.

While Gohan and Videl pretended to be slightly excited, they knew it was going to be a boring couple of hours. Sharpner couldn't care less what they were watching, he was only here to try and get with Videl and hopefully get lucky. Erasa then began to give out the tickets for the movies. They had about 10 minutes until the movie started so they went to buy some drinks and snacks.

"Uhh, guys...We have a problem here, I left the rest of my money at my house. Do any of you guys have enough money for snacks?" Questioned Erasa. "Don't worry E, you've paid for the tickets, I'll cover this one." Videl assured reaching into her fitted jeans for her money.

It was at that moment that Gohan finally noticed what Videl was wearing. She had on a baby blue fitted t-shirt with her navy blue skinny jeans. Her outfit made her look, well, sexy. It was almost as if she was trying to impress someone. Videl definitely never acted girly if she could help it. Suddenly he heard and saw Videl snapping her fingers in front of him, making him refocus.

"Earth to Gohan, snap out of it big guy." Videl said.

"I'm sorry I zoned out what were you saying?" Gohan apologized.

´That was the same look on my face when I was thinking about Gohan's muscl- err... Physique. Was he checking me out?´ Videl internally smiled at the thought. "I said do you have any money on you? There was a hole in my jeans and my money must have fallen out." Videl repeated.

Gohan then remembered that Bulma gave him a CC family credit card that had virtually an infinite amount of money on it. He's only had it for about 2 months and he has yet to use it. Bulma gave both him and Chi-Chi one after the Z-Party when they celebrated the defeat of Buu. Before Gohan could respond to Videl, Sharpner already pulled out a twenty and bought two couple combos. They consisted of one extra-large drink, one extra-large bucket of popcorn, and one bag/box of candy. Sharpner then walked up to Videl and handed her and Gohan each their own couple combos. The couple combos was supposed to be a romantic way spending your well-earned money on overly expensive snacks.

"I only had enough money for about 2 of these. I can share with Videl while Nerd Boy here can share with Erasa." Sharpner said knowing good and well that he had about 400 more dollars in his wallet.

"I have a better idea, I'll share with Gohan since you can't get it through to your brain that I don't want anything to do with you. You don't mind right E?" asked Videl? Erasa just shook her head. "Then it's settled." Continued Videl. She then handed her Couples Combo back to Sharpner and headed towards their movie and decided to get some seats at the top before someone took them. Everyone began to follow her until Sharpner approached Gohan.

"Hey Nerd Boy, talk to me in the bathroom after the movie." Sharpner commanded. Without saying another word, they both followed the girls and went to take their seats.

After finally settling in, the seating arrangements had Erasa at the far left, Sharpner beside her, with Videl, then Gohan. Gohan already began nibbling at the popcorn while Videl was sipping on their soda. Gohan chose the soda while Videl picked out the candy. Surprisingly, Gohan had picked Dr. Pepper. Which was her favorite soft drink. Add that to another list of things that they have in common. It may seem like such a simple thing. But Videl was making a big deal out of it in her head. She set the drink down and went to reach for some popcorn when she realized that almost a quarter of it was gone by Gohan.

"GOHAN!" Videl half yelled half whispered. "Your going to eat all the popcorn and the movie hasn't even started yet."

Gohan looked down and noticed a good part of popcorn was already gone. "I'm sorry Videl, I didn't even notice." Gohan apologized. Then Gohan leaned in closer to Videl and whispered low enough for only her to hear, "It's a Saiyan thing. We can eat a lot more than a Human. Besides, it's not like I'm waiting on anything, I've already seen this movie with Bulma. I didn't say anything so I didn't hurt Erasa's feelings." Gohan explained.

"Really? That's funny because me and Buu saw this movie a few days ago. I'll guess we can both be bored." Videl whispered back as they both began to laugh. The two blonds both noticed the exchange and while Erasa was ecstatic, Sharpner was boiling with fury. How dare this mountain boy come and try to take the girl he's been trying to sleep with all through high school. He'll show him who he's messing with after the movie. He doesn't want to cause a scene or anything.

It was about half way through the movie and both Gohan and Videl were close to falling asleep. The snacks were eaten a while ago and the two had nothing to do to keep themselves awake. Sharpner, wanting to take advantage of this, tried to snake his arm around Videl's shoulders. Gohan, being very sleepy but still very much alert, didn't like that Sharpner was taking advantage of her and smacked his hand away from her so fast that the only people who could see Gohan's arm had to be trained in ki. Videl did notice. Sharpner just stared at his hand in shock. He could already see a light bruise forming. He had no idea how that happened but he assumed that Videl hit him on instinct.

Videl then rested her head on Gohan's shoulder and muttered a quiet "Thanx Go-an." Videl could barely keep her eyes open and found herself falling asleep while using Gohan's shoulder as a pillow.

Gohan was too tired to really register what was going on. He managed to say "No prolem Vi." Before he rested his head on top of hers and together they drifted off into a slumber in which they did not want to be awoken from.

Click. Flash. They both awoke to a middle-aged woman flashing her camera on the sleeping Videl and Gohan. Videl looked over and saw Sharpner scowling at the credits with his arms folded across his chest. Erasa was staring at Videl practically beaming with joy. Videl then noticed what she was smiling about. Both she and Gohan realized that they feel asleep on one another and their arms self-consciously interlocked together. They quickly broke apart and started blushing furiously. Then Videl realized the worst part of this situation. The woman in front of her was a news reporter. Videl recognized her from some of her crime scenes.

"This is going to be headline news! Videl, our crime fighting hero, and daughter of none other than the World Savior himself, has finally been caught with a boy! So Videl, can you share who this young man is? Is he a boyfriend? A lover in the night? A toy for your selfish pleasure?" questioned the reporter.

Videl practically had steam coming out of her ears. "IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS WHO I'M WITH! FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE FOR KAMI'S SAKE! Videl screamed. ´I can't fucking believe this. A reporter in the movie theater. How was I so reckless? My life is going to be hell because of that picture. Well, at least everyone will think Gohan's my boyfriend. I just don't want to have to go through the drama.´ thought Videl.

Gohan felt Videl's ki fluctuate at different levels but the weirdest part was Videl's voice he heard in his head. ´Woah, was that Videl's voice I just heard? I remember Vegeta saying that Saiyans bond with their female and they become mates which gives them a special connection to each other. One including the ability to hear each other's thoughts. Great, my Saiyan half chose Videl before I had the balls to ask her to be my girlfriend. Although, I've never seen her this mad before, I should probably get rid of this woman's camera.´ Gohan thought.

He then spiked his ki at a tremendous rate that made the camera's insides fry. Everyone looked in shock at the camera until Videl started busting out laughing when she realized what happened. Before the reporter could say anything she dragged Gohan out of the theater still laughing her ass off. Once they got out Videl thanked Gohan for blowing the camera up. Erasa and Sharpner also came through the door not too long after they did. Erasa just squealed something about being to talk to Videl in private while leading her to the bathroom. Sharpner also dragged Gohan along into the guy's bathroom.

Once inside the bathroom, Sharpner tried to shove Nerd Boy into the sink but it felt like trying to move a brick wall. "What do you think you're doing Nerd Boy?! Exclaimed Sharpner.

"I don't believe I know what you're talking about Sharpner. Gohan quickly replied. He barely felt him touch him. Gohan had to lower his ki so the idiot wouldn't hurt himself.

"You know good and fucking well what I'm talking about! Who the hell do you think you are coming in here trying to steal my girl?! I've been working for too damn long trying to see what Videl has under those clothes for you to just come and take her away! Why don't you just back off before I have to hurt you mountain boy!" Sharpner threatened.

This guy was really starting to piss Gohan off. "Listen Sharpner, a woman is not a possession. They have the right to decide who they want to date. Your just acting like a horny fucking crybaby. And so help me Kami if you mention Videl in that kind of derogatory way again you'll be in the hospital." Gohan shot back.

"I don't know what the fuck a derogatory is and quite frankly I don't give a shit. All I know is that you're not going to stand between me and Videl's sexy body. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to record me fucking her and sell it to the highest bidder and th-"

Sharpner was cut off by Gohan's foot connecting with his rib cage that sent Sharpner flying into the bathroom wall. Sharpner heard a crunch and started to fall to the ground. Before he could even make contact Gohan had his throat around Sharpner's neck holding him against the while he struggled for breath. Gohan spoke in a dangerously low ice-cold tone. "If you ever, talk about Videl in that way again, I will make sure you beg me for death. I will tear you limb for limb at an excruciatingly slow pace. When that moment comes when your slowly dying. I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to let you die from the loss of your own blood. When the pain goes away and you drift off into an eternal slumber of death, I'm going to throw you in the Ocean and let the sharks finish you off leaving no trace of your pitiful body on the planet."

Gohan then threw the scared shit-less body of Sharpner into the bathroom mirror, successfully cracking it, while Sharpner fell onto the bathroom's counter, and finally fell again onto the floor. Gohan heard someone trying to sneak out of the bathroom behind him. He noticed it was just a little boy, no more than 10 years old, looking scared for his life.

"Hey kid." Gohan replied reverting back to his old self and performing the 'Son Grin' pose. The little boy then ran out of the bathroom calling for his mama. Gohan felt kind of bad. No doubt that little boy heard everything. Gohan honestly didn't care right now. He started to head out of the bathroom and looked over his shoulder back at Sharpner.

"You have 4 broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, a broken leg, a bruised throat, and possible brain damage. I think the brain damage was there before you met me. Go to a hospital and think about what I've said. Oh, and derogatory means to show a critical or disrespectful attitude. Later Sharpner." Gohan replied with a hint of amusement.

Videl was looking at her best friend in confusion when Erasa dragged her into the ladies bathroom. "Oh my Kami Videl he is perfect for you!" Exclaimed Erasa.

"Erasa you think every boy is perfect for me." Replied Videl rolling her eyes.

"No seriously, I think you should go out with him Videl. Gohan is an amazing guy! Look at the picture of you two sleeping. And yes, I did have to take a picture because it was just too cute." said Erasa pulling out her pink Capsule Phone. Erasa shoved her cPhone in front of Videl's face showing a sleeping Videl with her head on Gohan's shoulder while his head lay gently on top of hers. She noticed their arms were still intertwined and had no idea how they got that way. She had to admit that they looked so peaceful in that picture.

"I can't believe you took a picture Erasa..." Videl remarked.

"Oh shut up you'll think me when your old and wrinkled happily married to Gohan with grandchildren. Just imagine seeing this picture in your scrap-book thanks to your best friend Erasa!" Erasa wasn't far from jumping with joy. Videl was about to speak until a bang was heard from the wall.

"That sounds like it came from the guys bathroom." Videl stated. "Who cares it's probably just some construction work or something. So, when are you gonna ask Gohan out?" questioned Erasa. There was no use in arguing with Erasa anymore.

"Alright Erasa, you caught me, I have a crush on the mountain boy, the Ox Prince, the golden fighter, The Great Saiyaman, Nerd Boy, whatever you wa-..." Videl realized what she had just said when she saw her best friend's eyes grow as large as saucers. ´Gohan is going to kill me.´ thought Videl. There was another noise from the men's bathroom but they weren't paying attention.

"Erasa, I'm going to need you to keep that a secr-."

"OH MY KAMI, OH MY KAMI, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT GOHAN IS THE GREAT SAIYAMAN AND THE GOLD FIGHTER! Vi he's PERFECT for you! How romantic! You two can fight crime together and he can wisp you away and make love to you in the clouds!" Erasa shrieked.

"WOAH ERASA, I think that's a little much don't you think? Listen, before you start talking to Gohan about this let me talk to him first okay? He wanted this to be a secret and doesn't want anybody to know. I didn't mean to tell you. Now let's go before the guys get worried." Videl said dragging Erasa out of the bathroom.

Videl and Erasa walked out of the bathroom seconds after Gohan. "Hey Gohan, where's Sharpner?" asked Videl.

"He didn't want to wait any longer so he left." Gohan simply replied but gave Videl a look that said 'We'll talk later'. Videl gave him a nod letting him know she understood.

"Well guys I have a busy day and I have to go. I hope you two have a fun day!" Erasa cheekily said with a fat smirk on her face.

´That was weird.´ thought Gohan. "Let's go somewhere private to talk." Gohan demanded Videl rather than asking.

They exited the Theater by a side exit and Gohan picked Videl up bridal style and flew them into the woods on the outskirts of Satan City. Gohan picked a spot by some large rocks beside a river. It looked relatively peaceful and he knew they wouldn't be disturbed. He touched down softly and let Videl down where they both sat on a rock beside each other.

"Gohan I have to tell you something that you may not like." Videl finally said, breaking the few seconds of silence they had.

"I have something you may not like to hear either." Gohan countered.

"Well let me go first." Videl asked. Gohan nodded telling her she may continue.

"I may have accidentally told Erasa that you were Saiyaman. But I didn't mean to really! It just kind of...came out...when we were talking about you..." Videl admitted. She looked at down at the grass waiting for the tongue thrashing of how she betrayed his trust but it never came. She looked back up and saw Gohan was smiling.

"It's fine Videl, I trust Erasa. Besides, she would have found out anyway when we went to college at CCU (Capsule Corporation University). I just hope you can forgive me for what I did." reassured Gohan. Videl just looked into his obsidian eyes with her own piercing blue ones. "I kind of put Sharpner in the hospital...but I'm not apologizing." Gohan admitted.

"You had to have had a reason?" Videl questioned more than stated.

"I'd rather not go into detail so my rage doesn't force me to go back and end his miserable life. Let's just say that his morals were impure and he wanted to exploit you for his own selfish needs and wealth. I'm not saying any more on the matter." Gohan stated matter-of-factly.

"I understand Gohan. Whatever you did, he deserved it." Videl said unconsciously rubbing his back.

"There's something else Videl." Gohan continued. Videl gave him a questioning look. Gohan grinned and became his normal self. "I was wondering if you'd like to be my girlfriend?" Videl then tackled Gohan off of the ground and kissed him hard.

"I thought you'd never ask." Videl replied giggling like a little girl. Gohan started laughing again as well until he pulled Videl back into another passionate kiss.

(A/N)

Well guys I'd like to think that this was a successful first chapter. The best part is, is that we're just getting started! I'm not out of ideas yet and I've got two friends who are willing to give me a piece of their mind whenever mine decides to stop working. My editor who I'll be referring to as Cinema from here on out, was actually the master mind who came up with the plot. He gave me the general idea and its my job to turn his tiki hut into a skyscraper. That's going to take some time and with your reviews. I've also got my friend who will be my beta-reader. I'll refer to him as Ghost. He's helped me out with some things that I can't reveal yet. The last thing I will address is the end of chapter 1. I honestly wanted to read a fic where Sharpner was put off his high horse and I think I did pretty well. I discovered that I have a bit of a dark side after writing that 'one' part. I was happy with the results. Now to address anyone who thinks Gohan and Videl got together too quickly, well, I disagree. It's been 2 months since the Buu Saga ended and I think that when Gohan 'came back from the dead' so to speak, Videl and Gohan realized that they have feelings for each other and I think I gave them enough time for them to think about their feelings. When it comes down to it, I ship 'em. Sorry had to add that. I'll try to update at least once a week. I'm not making any promises though. It took me about 4 days to write this after Cinema gave me an idea. The first day I didn't write and I just brainstormed, I wrote for about 4 hours the next day, I didn't write yesterday. And I finished chapter 1 today. It'll probably take me one more day for editing and formatting. Okay guys, I'm tired as hell and will probably pass out any moment now. Too bad I have to stay awake another 10 hours to fix my schedule. This story is to blame for me staying up all night. I'd appreciate it greatly if you all could review and tell me what you think. Remember! This is my first fic so I could use some criticism. Just take it easy on me okay? It's my first time.
