"Oh yea..what?" Videl asked.

Gohan couldn't do anything but blush as he almost forced himself so put his hands in his pocket. But he stopped himself for a reason that nobody knew.

"Oniichan, aren'tcha gonna give the thing I found that was Videl's?"

"Brother and I came to give you something Videl-san!"

"Really? Gohan...you ok?" Videl asked as she stepped closer to him. *Oh no, he's spaced out again...* "Gooohan. Konbanwa. You awake?" she asked a Gohan who was just blushing and blankly staring at the floor.

"Hmn..if that doesn't work, I'll just have to do something else to get his attention." Videl though out loud. "Gohan! Eliza woke up!"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH WHAT?!?! WHERE?!?! RUN FOR THE HILLS!" Gohan screamed as he ran out the door. Videl ran after him.

"Hey where are you going Gohan? You just got here a minute ago." Videl teased.

"Eh? Oh, umm..heh heh, sorry I've been alittle weird lately heh heh..." Gohan said as he turned around, then sheepishly looking at the floor again.

"Do you have something against yourself?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Cuz. You've been acting like it."

"Umm, we're kinda getting off topic so let me-"

"Oh come on Gohan." Videl said, putting her hands on her hips. "I've had enough of you saying bad things about yourself."

"EH? All I said was that I've been acting weird lately because..."

"Well I kinda....ummm..."

"Niichan thinks that you're too good for him and he likes you alot and he thinks you hate him cuz he acts stupid in front of you cuz he likes you so much!"

Videl turned red. "Nani?"

"BAKA GOTEN! Why'd you say that?" Gohan said as he bopped Goten on the head, not too hard.

"But niichan thats what you saaiid."

"Well in the middle of the night I kinda woke up for no reason and when I tried to go to sleep I heard you talking so I opened my eyes and saw you staring at the ceiling and mumbling that Videl has a cute-"

"Alright alright Goten please don't say anything else I get the picture!" Gohan frantically said, not wanting to be embarassed any further.

"I have a cute what?" Videl asked curiously.

"Butt!" Goten chirped.

"EEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Gohan fell over, his face more red than a tomato painted scarlet. Videl just stood there, also red, with wide eyes.

"But niichan...you said she had a cute butt befo-"

"AHH I KNOW I DID! I-I mean I didn't...ahh shimatta."

"Oooniiiiiichan! But you *did* say it! You said Videl had a cute butt!" Goten stated, pointing at Gohan, who was flushed with embarassment.

"OK I think Videl's butt is cute now be quiet Goten!" Gohan begged in tears, not wanting anyone to hear and not wanting Videl to be angrier than she probably was. Videl was still staring in surprize, shocked that Gohan said she had a cute butt.

"And I though I needed to go on a diet..."

Gohan turned to look at Videl, who was watching blankly at Gohan and Goten argue.

"Umm...Videl, I can understand if you hate me right now, but please don't listen to anything else my brother says."

"But niiiiichan! You also said she has pretty eyes!"

"I know I said she has pretty eyes! She DOES have pretty eyes! Please stop Goten..." Gohan begged.

Goten pointed and giggled at his older brother. "I'm embarassing niichan!"

"Goten what did I do to deserve this from you?"

"And you said you want to ...I forgot what you said..and that you want to....I forgot what you said there...and something something her bo-" Goten went on, not hearing his brother's question.

"Go there and I'll tell mom you were the one stealing the candy from the cabinet." Gohan said flatly. This shut Goten up.

"And you said when she smiles you just wanna hug her and kiss her! Like this!" and Goten demonstrated by hugging himself and kissing an invisible person.

Gohan sighed and mumbled. "My life is so going downhill..."

Videl was still blushing but spoke anyway. "Why is your life going downhill?"

"Eh...I..umm...you..y-you don't hate me...do you?"

"Well no...although you really know how to flatter someone in a humiliating way..."

"I'm sorry Videl-san, but I don't know how to keep my mouth closed, seeeeeeeeeeeeee." Goten said as he clenched his teeth together and then open his mouth seconds later exhaling. Gohan chuckled and Videl laughed a bit.

"Heh heh heh, that's alright Goten, its not your fault *its those genes you got from your dad*, plus I needed to know what your brother thinks of me..." Videl said as she looked at Gohan again, who turned red again.

"E.....umm, well ya see I can't stop myself from dreaming about you all the time..I mean...shit what am I saying?!" Gohan said as he slapped his forehead.

"Hey, whatcha so ashamed about?" Videl asked as she stepped forward to him and looked up at his face.

"Hmn.." the demi-saiyan stepped back an inch and looked confused "But I thought.."

"You have no self-esteem do you?"

"Sometimes you act all shy, whats up when you do that?"

"Are you saying that I'm usually bratty?" Videl asked, afraid the answer would be a yes.

"Noooo.....it just well you see-" Gohan started his sentence and as he put his hand out of his pocket, something fell out and caught Videl eye.

"Hmn? Gohan you dropped something..."

"Eh? Oh damn-" he said as he picked it up. It was the bracelet he was planning to give to Videl, who was looking at it with admiration.

*He must be giving that to someone special, maybe his mom or a friend* she thought, not knowing it was meant for her. It wasn't too fansy, yet it looked rather pretty. It was medium thick, having three strands of silver twisted together to make one that 'swirled'. Then there were three gems; the smallest two were colorless like a diamond, and the one in the middle, the largest, was a bright blue.

"Ummm, Videl-san.." Gohan spoke softly, and Videl looked at him. "This..I meant to give it to you before but, umm...I guess I'm too much of a chicken and.." he said as he slowly handed it to her. Once more he recieved a shocked stare.

"For m-me? Gohan are you like sick or something.."

She moved her eyes from the bracelet dangling in her palm to Gohan's own eyes. "Why would you give such a pretty thing to someone like me? I-I mean, I didn't do anything for you and...I feel guilty now. But it really is pretty Gohan-kun, I...shit whats wrong with me now?" she said half laughing.

Gohan looked confused. "Isn't today your birthday?"

Videl's jaw dropped. She had totally forgotten about her own birthday.

_________Somewhere....else..__________________

Mr. Satan paced back and forth, waiting for his messanger to come.

"If he doesn't come by the time I count to ten he's fired. One...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight..nine...te-"

"MISTA SATAN!" bellowed a man who burst into the room.

"You're lucky you know. One more second and I would've fired you."

"But I didn't take that long sir..."

"All well, whats the deal?"

"He accepted. He said he also has a way to get all the information we need plus will be willing to launch any setups needed to hold something against the boy."

"Great! Now we have to wait for the honest one to finish blabbing to the other guy." Mr. Satan said.

But what are they planning?

_____________________________________________

______Some alley or something________________

"Uhhhh....alright I guess. As long as it'll keep me on the good side of Mr. Satan." Sharpener said.

"Thank you. I'll be going now..I'll see you around, Sharpener."

(Hehehehe, internal cliffhangers. I love 'em!)

_______Outside King Kullen___________________

"I-I can't believe this..." Videl stammered as she put her hand on her forehead and started chuckling to herself.

Gohan just blinked a few times as Videl burst into laughter. "Uh..heh heh, Videl?"

"PWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahhaa ::gulp:: yes Gohan hahahahahhaa"

"Heheh, did you really forget about your birthday?"

"Hahahahaha, y-yes I did..."

Then Goten started laughing. "HAHAHA! How could you forget your birtday when you get lotsa presents and toys?!"

"I-I don't know Goten, whew ok I'm over it." Videl said, loosely clutching her neck. She noticed that she still held the bracelet that Gohan gave her and gently slipped it on her wrist, then smiled at how its sparkled in the sunlight.

"Like it?" Videl said walking up to Gohan and putting her hands on his shoulders. "I love it."

"Hmn, thats always good to hear."

And so the two participated in another staring contest. The competition seemed to intense, they were watching eachothers eyes so closely that their faces got closer and closer (you know I'm joking here...the whole contest thing). Goten's grin was getting bigger and bigger as their lips were closing in on eachother. He was about to start singing 'Gohan and Videl, sittin in a tree' when there was a high pitched scream heard.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Gohan and Videl opened their eyes just as the tips of their lips touched and feared for the worst.

"GOHAN! ITS YOU!" Eliza exclaimed with joy. Goten shrieked.

"ITS THE GIRL WITH PEE COLORED HAIR!" He ran behind Gohan and Videl.

"Heeeee~eeyy, I saw you before! Hi little cute kiddddd..." Eliza said as she went to go pick up Goten. The poor little saiyan ran to the other side of Gohan to hide from her.

"Baka-san, you're scaring him." Videl said, a hint of annoyance in her voice, which Eliza totally missed.

"Oh hiiiiii Videl! Happy birthday!"

".... Thanks...I think."

"Soooooooo.....what did ya get so far? I bet you got something really nice!"

"Oniichan got her the prettiest present in the world!" Goten said angrily at her. Gohan slapped his forehead.

"Wow Gohan what did you get her I bet its really really pretty but you know you would get me something waaaaayyy better right right huh am I right?"

"NOOOOOOO he wouldn't!" Goten yelled.

"Now why do you say that little cute kid?"

"Cuz he likes Videl-san!"

"I don't think you should be putting words in peoples mouths cuz your brother likes me not Videl-san."

"Nooooooooo he doesn't- hey how do you put words in your mouth? I thought they were invistatable."

"Its invisible Goten." Gohan said softly.

"Ohhh ok....but oniichan doesn't like you!"

And as the two densely-headed opponents, one loveable and one..well..not, battled, Gohan moved closer to Videl.

"Oi, Videl-san, maybe we should leave before Sharpener comes..."

"Yea we should, thats the last thing I need..."

"And besides, I can't let you suffer, its your special day" Gohan winked. (awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! O.o)

"GOD DAMNIT ONIICHAN DOESN'T LIKE YOU ONNA!"

Gohan looked wide-eyed at Goten. "What did you just say Goten?"

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Oh I see...well don't repeat that ever again or mom'll punish you for a year."

"Yea eep is right young man what do you have to say for yourself?" Eliza scolded.

"You're not his mother Eliza"

Videl was angry. She tried to stop herself from punching Eliza in the face. Eliza did have a split personality; either she assumed herself as the leader and was stubborn or she was completely ditzy. Before Gohan came to OSH, they had been good friends. Not best friends though. Part of her became depressed at that thought. Could someone like her have a best friend? Would Videl have to consider such a distant person like Eliza a best friend? God, she needed Gohan to live from day to day, to have a reason for waking up each morning, and Eliza was trying to take him away. But Elisa was her friend..how? How?

Unknowingly she shut her eyes tight in frustration, her fist clenched and shook slightly in front of her. Gohan gave Videl a confused and concerned look; she had gone from annoyed to...angry? He then turned to look at Eliza, who had a deep stare fixed on something: Videl's bracelet.

"Videl...where did you get that bracelet?" Eliza asked, most likely in awe.

Videl stoped all thoughts on the topic of Eliza and popped back into reality. "Oh, Gohan gave it to me" she said rather calmly.

"SEE I TOLD YOU ONIICHAN GAVE VIDEL-SAN THE PRETTIEST PRESENT! I TOLD YOU I TOLD YOU NYAAAHHHH!!!"

Eliza kept on staring at Videl's bracelet. Creepily. No I can't write decent fics. Ok, now Videl was freaked out.

"Eliza.....what is wrong with you?" Videl asked.

"Glowwwwyyyyyyyyyyyy"

"Nani?!" Gohan exclaimed. He also looked at the bracelet.

"Gohan-kun what is wrong with YOU now?"

Gohan lifted a finger at the bracelet.


	Gohan Love Wars Chapter 8 "Oh yea..what?" Videl asked. Gohan couldn't do anything but blush as he almost forced himself so put his hands in his pocket. But he stopped himself for a reason that nobody knew. "Oniichan, aren'tcha gonna give the thing I found that was Videl's?" "Hmn? Whats mine?" "Brother and I came to give you something Videl-san!"

"Well I kinda....ummm..." "..." (hehehe) "Niichan thinks that you're too good for him and he likes you alot and he thinks you hate him cuz he acts stupid in front of you cuz he likes you so much!" Videl turned red. "Nani?" "BAKA GOTEN! Why'd you say that?" Gohan said as he bopped Goten on the head, not too hard. "But niichan thats what you saaiid." "When?"
