No words could express the hate he felt for his parents. They just abandoned him as if he were no one. His mother chose to go to the other world with her precious 'Husband'. He couldn't get past just being abandoned like this.

No one was there for him anymore. Not a single person could care for him. He tried staying with Bulma, but she said she already had her own family to take care of. He said he understood, and left. He then stayed with Krillin for a while. He thought it was going to work out, but after too long, they said he had to leave because they couldn't afford to feed another mouth, especially that of a Saiyan. He knew he couldn't count on anyone else. Piccolo said there were certain rules on the lookout. One of them being that no one but Dende, Mr. Popo, and Piccolo could live there for some reason or another. So, he was on his own.

He wandered around Satan City for a while. He was growing tired and weary, so decided to sleep. He came to an abandon building and went inside.

"This can't be too bad. I mean I lived on my own when I was six for six months, so I can do this. Without anyone's help!" He told himself.

He could feel tears coming down now. What had he done to deserve this? Why didn't anyone want him? Was he THAT bad? He cried himself to sleep.

A few years later...

It had been almost 3 years since the Cell games, so that meant it was almost his birthday. He would be 14 soon. He had lived on the streets for the last 2 and a half years by himself. He had survived by stealing, and much to his disgust, prostitution.

He didn't want to think about being alone anymore, so he just started walking around, but then he saw some familiar faces coming his way. It was the Briefs and Krillin's family, along with Yamcha.

He looked at himself in a nearby window. He was all dirty and ragged. They couldn't see him like this, so he hid. Little did he know Vegeta and some of the others had sensed his ki.

"Can you feel that?" Master Roshi asked Krillin and Vegeta.

"Yeah, but who could it be?" Krillin replied. Suddenly the ki disappeared. It felt so familiar, but Krillin couldn't place his finger on whom it was.

Gohan just watched as they passed by. Trunks was walking on his own now. Everyone looked happy. Happy without him. Suddenly he saw Vegeta looking in his direction.

"Hurry up Vegeta we're going to be late AGAIN!" Bulma yelled.

"Hold your horses you stupid onna! I'm going to look over here real quick. I sense someone!" Vegeta yelled back. He continued coming closer in Gohan's direction.

Gohan quickly disappeared and landed on top of the building above. He looked down, seeing Vegeta looking right at him. Gohan flew away.

"If I saw right. I'd say that was Kakkarott's brat! I have to tell that annoying woman!" Vegeta thought out loud. He flew back to where the rest was.

Gohan flew at an alarming rate. He knew Vegeta had seen him, and that's why he ran. He didn't stop until he came to a huge building across town. If he was right, it was the mansion of Hercule Satan.

He landed inside the fence, where he saw a young girl training. He smiled. She had long black hair and sapphire eyes. She looked over to him.

"Hey! How did you get past daddy's Dobermans?" He yelled at him. He covered his ears. She was as loud as his mother.

"Oh shut up. I saw no damn dogs!" Gohan yelled back. The girl got mad.

"You listen here, and you listen good. This is MY house and no one treats me like that! ESPECIALLY someone that snuck into it!" The girl screamed. Gohan smirked. This actually might be fun.

"And your point is?" Gohan smiled. He hadn't smiled in years.

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP! IF YOU THINK YOU'RE THAT TOUGH COME HERE AND FIGHT ME!" The girl once again yelled.

"Okay, okay. Just stop yelling!" Gohan said, uncovering his ears. He walked over to where the girl was standing.

It was obvious that she was his age, or really close. She was well built for a girl. He got there and got into his fighting stance. She looked at him like he was crazy.

What kind of stance is that? I mean, I've never seen anything like it Videl thought.

"Are you going to fight as well, or should are you just going to stand there like an idiot?" Gohan smiled. The girl blushed.

"Well, before I fight you. I want to get to know my opponent first. What's your name?" She asked him.

"Gohan, and yours?" Gohan asked the girl.

"Videl. Videl Satan. Tell me, where are you from?" Videl asked him.

"I'm sorry. I'm too embarrassed to say." He whispered, looking down at the ground. He could feel tears in his eyes. They burned. They burned bad.

"Oh, just tell me. I can tell you're not rich. You're all filthy!" Videl demanded. This got Gohan mad.

"You wanna know WHERE I live? Fine, I'll tell you! I'm homeless. I have no to care about me. I have no Precious Daddy to take of me. I have no mother to nourish me with love! I have NO ONE!" Gohan cried. The tears were coming full force now. He just couldn't stop. Why him. Why did everyone just abandon him? He was truly alone.

"I.I'm.sorry. I had no idea. Please forgive me!" Videl said with pity in her eyes.

"It's alright. You didn't know. I'm sorry I just blew up like that. I've just been through hell the last 14 years."Gohan drifted off.

"How old are you?" Videl asked him.

"14"

"Same here. When's your birthday?"

"May 18th.Why?"

"Hey! That's my birthday too!" Videl smiled, and for some reason, so did Gohan.
