Hey everyone, it has been a while.

I'm still alive, and writing fanfiction, though also other things. Afraid I don't really have anything to upload yet. Which is why I decided to share these little stories.

This is basically just a gathering of little stories that I can't even be bothered to turn into actual one-shots. Scenes that no longer fit in other stories, but I don't want to delete, random ideas that don't fit anywhere else to begin with, that sort of thing.

I mostly wrote them down, or kept them and worked them out, so they'd stop bouncing around inside my head. And it worked. And I have to say, it really helps.

And hopefully you'll like them as well.

Here's the first one, next one's next week, but after that, no promises.

Rated T, for now, might become M later.

Enjoy.

Proposal

After dating for a while, it is time to take the next step. It's a bit of a big one though…

Setting and Time; A few years after high school. Not long before Battle of Gods takes place. Or would have, if I didn't ignore Super…

But whatever, let's get started.

"Come on, we'll be late." Videl urged the other on. She flew ahead through the sky.

"Weren't you the one who overslept?" Gohan returned, catching up immediately.

She was though, when Gohan arrived to pick her up she was still in bed…

Which was why they were flying themselves, instead of in the copter, like they planned. And was also why Videl's hair was only half-done. It'd get messed up while flying anyways.

"Come on then." Gohan spread his arms for her. She took the hint and embraced him, just as he hugged her back tightly. At once his white energy surrounded them both, and a soft shock told Videl they were now flying at supersonic speeds.

It'd ruin what was left of her haircut, but whatever, she didn't care anymore.

"It should be here." Videl pointed down. And Gohan promptly flew down, into the street. A large street, with a lot of shops, and a lot of people. People who either weren't paying attention, or just plain didn't care two people just fell from the sky.

"There they are." Gohan nudged her. Indeed, in front of a restaurant there were two familiar blondes sitting at a table for four.

"Erasa!" Videl yelled.

"Videl!" The other returned, standing up so fast her seat fell over, and the two practically jumped each other. "It has been so long!"

"Only a few months." Videl returned, pushing away form the hug.

"We used to hang out every day, a few months is a long time." The other pointed out. She had a point there. "How have you been?" She then asked.

"Great." Videl returned with a large smile. "We went to the movies the other day. Terrible movie, but the snacks were good. and had dinner afterwards, because Mr was hungry again.

"He never learns, does he?" Erasa shook her head, eyeing Gohan as she did.

Who shrugged slightly and looked over at the blonde male still sitting at the table. "Sharpner."

"Gohan."

Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Are you wearing a suit?"

"Yeah." The other returned. "I had a job interview earlier this morning. And I think it worked out well. They were very impressed."

"Really?" Gohan sat down. "Good for you."

"Thanks." The other returned. "And what have you been up to?"

"Oh, the usual. Studying, training a little with Vegeta and my dad. They are so determent to surpass me, you know?"

"So I've heard." The other returned. "Well, at least your life isn't boring."

"You have no idea." Gohan looked over at the two ladies, who were currently busy catching up.

"Meh, let them talk." Sharpner said. "They've missed each other. At least, Erasa has." He waved over a waiter. "Beer?"

"Sure."

"And you'll never guess what he did." Erasa grinned. "He got me this bag." She held it up. "I have no idea how he even knew I wanted it."

Sharpner leaned over to Gohan. "I spotted her looking at it while we were out, and count her money, and sigh." He said softly. "Pretty obvious, no?"

Gohan nodded. "It's generous of you though."

"It's an investment." Sharpner replied with a small grin. "That was a good night."

"If you do something kind and expect something in return, you didn't do something kind."

"First off, I made sure she loved every second of it. And secondly, I just called it an investment, didn't I?"

"I guess…" He returned. He pushed his empty cake plate aside.

"Ah well." The other shrugged. "I guess that one won't work on a girl who already has everything."

"Tell me about it." Gohan returned. "It's so hard trying to get a present for her."

"Look at the upside." Sharpner said. "At least every present from you will be appreciated for what it is, not for what it costs."

"All the good stuff is expensive though."

"Affirmative." The other laughed, and Gohan with him.

Gohan looked over at his girlfriend. Ah, such a beautiful, amazing girl. He felt really lucky to have her.

She glanced over, giving him a little smile. A little one, for only a moment, but it was enough.

Gohan glanced down. He saw the sunlight on the stone below. It was a sunny day. And a warm one. He felt a bead of sweat go down his back. Maybe he should have dressed lighter?

He reached back to wipe it off. As he did he accidently swiped his spoon from the table, between himself and Videl. So he got down on one knee to pick it up.

And he heard two simultaneous gasps.

He looked up to see Videl look at him with wide eyes. And behind her was Erasa, who had a hand clasped over her mouth.

He got up slowly.

"Ah…" Videl looked down for a moment, then back at Erasa. Who rubbed her nose and continued talking.

Gohan sat down again. He looked over at Sharpner, who had one eyebrow raised. He had obviously missed something…

"Dude…" Sharpner nearly whispered.

"What?"

"Never mind." He sighed. "Let's talk later." And he turned to Erasa, joining that conversation.

"We'll be right back." Erasa said, dragging Videl along to he bathroom.

"Girls, can't go to the bathroom alone." Sharpner grinned, which earned him a bump form the other blonde.

Gohan watched them go. "You do realise they're going to fix their hair or makeup or something like that, right?" He asked. "They don't just use bathrooms to… well, use the bathroom."

"I know, I was making a joke." The other returned. "By the way, now that I've got you alone, I gotta ask. What do you think happened back there?"

"When I dropped my spoon?" Gohan raised his eyebrows. "No idea."

"Dude… did you see their faces?" He nodded with his head to the direction the girls walked off to.

'Err… I think."

"They thought you were going to propose."

Gohan blinked. "Propose?"

"Marriage, nerd boy."

"I know what proposing means."

"You do? One can never know with you." The other grinned. "Seriously though, they must have jumped to the assumption you were going to propose to Videl then and there."

"Was that what it looked like?" He questioned.

"Even I thought so. You were on one knee and everything."

"Oh geez." Gohan slumped in his chair.

"Yeah." Sharpner nodded. "Did you see her reaction though. She was disappointed."

"I guess…"

The blonde poked him. "Dude, she was disappointed you weren't proposing. You know what that means?"

"She…" Gohan shot up again. "Oh dear, she wants to…"

The other finished. "Marry you."

Gohan blinked. Marriage? Already? "Isn't it a little too early?" He asked out loud.

"You've been dating since high school." Sharpner returned. "By now everyone is only wondering when the big day is finally coming. Erasa lost a bet, by the way. She thought you would have done it already."

"You placed bets?"

Sharpner grinned. "But seriously, get a ring, and do it soon. She almost jumped you here, she's gonna say yes for sure."

Gohan leaned back, looking at the sky. Marriage. He'd be lair if he said he wasn't considering it. But so soon?

Well, his own parents were… only a little older, he guessed, if one didn't count the time chamber, and people usually don't. But it just felt… like rushing.

On the other hand… yeah, maybe it really was past time.

"Though, let me give you a tip in the meantime." Sharpner continued. "Don't give her anything in a small box, or anything small box-sized, until you actually propose. She's just going to get disappointed."

"Oh… right." Realisation suddenly sunk in. "Thanks."

"No problem."

"I haven't been here since I was little." Videl exclaimed, twirling around in the middle of the street. It made her long skirt lift up like a hoop.

Gohan pocketed their tickets. His mother was right, going to the amusement park was a great idea. Hell, he was sure he'd have a great time, having never been to any amusement park himself. Those were expensive. Which was why Hercule was 'sponsoring' him. Though neither had told Videl, the girl probably knew, she was sharp like that. And she hadn't offered to pay for anything, which was also unlike her.

But what neither she nor Hercule knew was that Gohan had an ulterior motive. As he pocketed their tickets his fingers touched the small box. It weighed heavy in his pocket.

"Come on!" Videl had snagged Gohan by the sleeve and dragged him along, much to his amusement, and the that of several spectators. This time it was towards a haunted house. Apparently it was her turn to death him along, since he had just dragged her to an ice cream stand.

"But what about these?" He asked, holding up his triple ball cone. "We can't take ice cream in there."

"There'll be a line." Videl pointed out. "There's always a line." She was right on that one though, there was even one in front of the ice cream stand. And in front of the haunted house, of course.

Well, Gohan didn't mind, since he could properly finish his ice cream. And Videl her own. It'd be quite the wait, but neither minded. They had each other.

Gohan breathed in. "Hm, sausages." He remarked, sniffing the wind.

"Sausages? You're still having ice cream." She said. "You're incorrigible."

He just grinned with guilt. He also let his eyes slide over the crowd, trying to find the source.

Then her hand over his own, the one holding his own, and…

'Chomp!'

He looked at the remaining half of the last ball on his cone, and Videl's cheeks were bulging while she was also grinning. For a moment. Then she swallowed a few times, holding her head with her free hand. "Ow, ow, brain freeze!"

Gohan didn't exactly pay attention to her. "My ice cream…" He said softly, still staring at his cone in disbelief.

"Aw." Videl sounded. "Did the naughty girl take one bite? You poor guy."

"You ate two scoops!"

"It was only one bite." She returned. "Here, hold this for me." She pushed her own cone into his free hand.

"Why?"

"So you can't defend yourself while I do this…" She answered, promptly flung her arms his neck, pulling him down, and pressed her lips against his.

Cold. Even her tongue was cold. And tasted like lemon…

A couple of kids nearby were singing "Eeeeeeew!" in perfect choir, and a few women giggled or were awing.

She detached. "There, better?"

"Err…" He looked down at her blue eyes. "No. You took two scoops."

"Alright then, you greedy boy." And she went in again. This time even stronger, and for longer. Their tongues were twirling, playfully wrestling each other.

When she withdrew, and Gohan regretted not being able to stop her from doing so, her breath was quick, and her eyes twinkling. She laughed softly.

"Hey!" Someone yelled. "Move already!"

Indeed, the line had moved a little, and they were holding up the people behind.

"What does it matter?" Videl snapped. "You gotta wait more anyway, so what does it matter if you're doing it here or there?" She had a point there. She sighed, letting go. "There goes the moment." She sighed.

Gohan agreed. Yeah, that had been it. His moment. If only that rude person hadn't interrupted. And his hands hadn't been full.

Oh well, maybe later…

"Hey, you're Videl Satan?" Some guy addressed her.

She grinned back. "I sure am."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm on a date with my boyfriend." She answered, poking Gohan while at it. He just grinned shyly. He still wasn't sure how to react, or to deal with that spotlight.

"That nerd?" The guy sounded, glaring at Gohan. "How about you dump him and get together with a real man, hm?" The guy raised his chin at the last part, smirking.

Videl dramatically raised one eyebrow. "Funny, I'm already with the only real man around here."

"I was talking about me."

It made her scowl slightly with annoyance. "I know you were, and I'm going to go with no."

"But he's pathetic." The guy waved at Gohan. "You could do much better."

"Shows what you know about us." She gave Gohan an insiders smile. "By the way, this is the part where you show dominance as my boyfriend and grab my butt."

"Oh, I'm fine." He returned. This stranger was nothing to them, and he had no desire to prove himself, or to 'show dominance'.

"See, he doesn't…"

"Oh, go away!" Videl basically commanded. "I'm having a good day, and I will not let a rude arsehole like you ruin it!"

With that she turned, walking away.

"The nerve!" She said angerly.

"He's just envious." Gohan replied. "And he has a lot to be envious of."

"Aw, thanks." She grinned. "But my butt is still going ungrabbed."

"Ah…" And he moved to rectify that one. Ah, such a nice and firm bottom to grab.

He glanced around. There weren't too many people around right now. And this was a good mood, despite that one dude earlier. Maybe now? No, he'd wait just a little longer. He drew her in, hugging her to his side while also squeezing her buttock a little tighter. She just grinned, clearly loving it.

Gohan reached into his pocket.

"Hey." She spoke up. "I've got…"

"What?"

"I… never mind." She cut herself off. And distanced herself. "Gotta use the bathroom."

Ah, shame. Well, next time…

"Open up." She said, holding the spoon in front of him. They sat at a table, eating ice. Not ice cream again, shaved ice, with syrup. Only one bowl though, and rather than eating themselves they took turns giving it to each other.

'Oh, I know!' Gohan had a sudden thought. 'I'll put the ring in the ice, and… no, she might eat it. Or bite on it. Or swallow it. I mean, I wasn't paying attention, so I totally would have.'

"What are you smiling at?" Videl asked him.

"Your beauty."

"Aw, you charmer." She grinned.

The sun was getting low. The sky was turning red. The park was going to close soon. And Gohan's small but heavy package was still in his pocket. Well, maybe another time? It was a good day, a lot of fun. Definitely worth it.

"I can't believe it's time to go already." Videl complained. "It felt so short."

That it did.

"We'll go again." Gohan promised.

"We better." She answered. "I was just… hoping it'd last longer."

"Yeah, me too." He agreed, though probably for a different reason.

She sighed. And mumbled something to herself. Something sounding a lot like "screw this". She pointed down. "Your shoelace is untied." She said. And immediately bowed down.

"Oh, tha…" He was about to thank her, then realised it was the perfect moment. He had an excuse to sit down, and then…

He looked down. Wait, it's not lose…

He still stepped back, kneeling down. 'Now or never!' He took out his ring box, opening it. "Videl, will…"

And he stopped midway, as he was eye to eye with her, as she was still one her knee, and she looked as dumbfounded as he did. In her hand she had a little, open box…

He blinked. Her face distorted into a smile.

As did his. "I take it as a yes then?"

"Hell yeah it is!" She jumped him, arms around his neck, quite literally sending the both of them to the ground. But Gohan caught her anyway. He snagged her by the neck and placed his lips on hers, for a moment.

"I love you!" Gohan stated, holding her close to his chest.

"I love you more!" She returned.

Cheers and applause went up around them. And they suddenly remembered they were in public, on the ground, in the middle of the street.

Several flashes went off.

They looked at each other.

"Let them." Videl stated. "I don't care. I love you, and the whole world is allowed to know!"

He laughed. "At this rate, they will." He replied.

And kissed again.

Videl looked at her finger, where a brand new ring was adorned. Gold, with a little blue gemstone. She rested her head against Gohan's chest. The wind did not bother her. The flapping of her skirt didn't bother her. Nothing could bother her anymore today. She had ascended to heaven. And more than just literally flying through the sky right now.

She glanced at Gohan's hand, the one around her shoulders. Another brand new ring. The two of them ended up trading rings.

She laughed again. "I can't believe we proposed at the same time." She said.

"Me neither." He replied, with an equally happy smile. "I've been sitting on that ring all day, waiting for my moment."

"Me too!" She exclaimed. "I wanted to put it in the ice, but then I thought you'd eat it by accident."

"I probably would have." He admitted. "What if we both did anyway? Then there'd be two rings in the ice."

"Or we'd both choke on them." She laughed. "Man, I thought I'd die of old age before you got around to asking me."

"Thanks… I think." He looked up, pretty sure that wasn't a compliment.

"And my dad thought so too." Videl added.

Gohan snapped his glance back down. "Wait, does he know?"

"Of course!" She answered happily. "Why do you think he was suddenly so willing to pay for everything today?"

"That… suddenly makes a lot of sense."

She reached up and kissed him again. So many kisses today. Best day ever!

"Hey there sweetpea. I take it Gohan said yes?"

"How do you know?"

"Because the only other time I've seen you glow that hard was when you became a girlfriend." He returned. And snagged her up in an embrace. "I'm so happy for you. Did the ring fit?"

"It sure does." She returned, and held up her hand.

"You put it on yourself… wait, that's not the one we bought…"

"Nope!"

"He… had a ring too?"

"At the same time dad! We did it at the exact same time." She was glowing like a lightbulb.

He laughed. "I wish I could have seen it."

"You can read about it tomorrow. People were watching and pictures and everything."

"Well, I want to hear it from you."

"Did you really?" Goku asked, grinning from ear to ear.

Chichi was laughing out loud. "That girl, I should have known!"

"Yeah, I really could have seen it coming."

"So, when's the big day?"

"Mom! We just proposed!"

"I got…"

"Married the same day, I know. We didn't do that. We're going to have to make plans later. Today was just for us."

"Come on." Goku slid a hand around Chichi's shoulders. "Give him some space."

"I know, I know, I'm just so excited. My little boy is finally spreading his wings and settling down."

Gohan chuckled at the butchered idioms. But whatever, he was overjoyed.

"Oh my gosh!" Erasa laughed so hard Videl held her phone at an arms length. "Both of you? Girl, you're set for life!"

"I know I am, I wouldn't have proposed otherwise."

"Ouch. I swear, I'm going to carry a ring around from now on for when Sharpy asks me."

"That wouldn't be as real. And you can ask him."

"I know. But enough about me, tell me everything!"

"So, what's this I see?" Krillin asked, holding up a newspaper.

Videl Satan, soon to be married!

And below the headline a picture of the both of them sitting on one knee, extending the ring to one another.

Gohan grinned, scratching his head.

Videl shrugged. "Utter perfection." She replied.

Gohan hugged her by the side. That it was.

End of Chapter

So, how was it? I tried to drop little hints of Videl also wanting to propose. Did you catch on? Do you see it on second read?

Please, leave me a comment of your thoughts.

Until next time…
