Universe 7 (Part 5)

Once alone in the sky, they quickly descended to a rooftop as Videl hugged Gohan. "I thought you'd never come back..." He gently hugged her back and smiled, she wore the same white baggy shirt with black spandex pants and a white short-sleeved shirt with a purple vest and black shoes.

"Never say never," he explained. As they separated, he looked back at the stopped train. "You still fight crime,"

She nodded. "Yeah, when you disappeared I struggled a lot at first," Videl started, although she avoided eye contact. She saw his ring on his finger, unconsciously rubbing her own ring. "What have you been up to?" She suddenly asked him.

He quickly got to explaining what happened to him after he left, leaving her stunned. "You're a destroyer god now?" She asked surprised. "But you're dressed like Saiyaman?" She asked confused, to which he sheepishly grinned and pressed a button on his watch, his Saiyaman outfit disappeared and he was in his destroyer uniform.

"You aren't kidding, you look exactly like the cat that attacked us," she explained as Gohan chuckled.

"Don't let Beerus hear you call him a cat," Videl covered her mouth and looked around.

"He isn't here at the moment so you're safe," she sighed in relief.

"How have you been?" Gohan asked her as he changed back into his Saiyaman outfit except his face wasn't covered.

"I won't lie, Gohan, I was sad because I really missed you... I think I was falling in love with you," she explained. Gohan was somewhat surprised but he did expect she may have had feelings for him as well at the time. At least he wasn't wrong.

"You know, Videl, I was the same," Gohan explained, 'but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.' Videl's eyes widened slightly before she smiled. It felt nice knowing she wasn't the only one with butterflies in her stomach at the time.

"It was great seeing you again..." She smiled sadly at him.

"It was..." Gohan agreed. She was the first girl he had any sort of romantic inclination towards.

"But," Videl started. "I am now engaged," She explained, holding up her ring finger to show a diamond ring.

"Congratulations, Videl," Gohan smiled before touching his own ring finger. Bulma had helped him procure a nice pair of engagement rings.

"I guess we both moved on..." She explained. She never meant for it to sound melancholic yet for some reason it did.

"I just wanted to see you one last time and catch up," Gohan explained as she smiled.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Thanks for giving me the peace of mind," Videl answered. "Congratulations, she is a very lucky woman,"

"And he is a very lucky man," Gohan agreed. Honestly, they were both happy for the other, but also sad. They knew if they hadn't separated, then perhaps...

Gohan nodded, Videl just chuckled. "You look like you love her a lot," she pointed out as Gohan turned pink in the face and nodded.

"She helped me when I was lost in a strange place, so I owe her,"

"How long until you leave again?" Videl asked.

"A few months, I plan on training here before returning back to my universe," Gohan explained.

"You must be really strong now," She mused as Gohan nodded. "But your Ki doesn't feel any stronger?"

"That's because I am suppressing myself," Gohan explained as his eyes flashed red and an intense spike of his Ki flared for a split second, leaving her stunned beyond words, a cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

"What the hell kind of training have you been doing!?" She questioned with wide eyes, feeling like a candle in a storm.

"That was just a tiny increase," Gohan explained. "If I actually released my Ki, I'd destroy Earth."

Videl couldn't believe her ears, but she quickly nodded. From what she could remember when Majin Buu was a problem, Goku's Super Saiyan 3 form shook the earth violently. She could only imagine what Gohan was capable of now as a god like Beerus.

"If you're so strong, why do you still need to train?" She asked.

"Because I'm still not strong enough. I will have to fight someone much stronger than me soon, so I want to be prepared," Gohan explained as she nodded.

"I don't know who you plan on fighting, but if they are stronger than you, then the world is a bigger place than I imagined," Gohan chuckled at her observation.

"I am actually one of the weakest destroyer gods," Gohan explained, stunning her. "They are millions of years old, so it will take a while for me to reach their level," he added.

She nodded slowly. "That makes sense... You live in a totally different world now..." She muttered absentmindedly before pulling herself together.

"I mean, I know you literally do, but I meant, even with the life you're living, you're a god now..." Videl explained, remembering the farm boy who first arrived at Orange Star High all those years ago. She realized she didn't have a space in his life anymore. His family was so strange; they were all like gods to her before, but now it's just been cemented.

"If Sharpner and Erasa saw you now, they probably wouldn't believe it," Gohan thought back to his two other friends.

"How are they?" Gohan asked as Videl became thoughtful for a second.

"Sharpner finally started his boxing career a few years ago. He is almost fully professional now. And Erasa, well, she is Erasa. She opened a fashion shop and has two branches, one in Satan City and one in West City. She is doing well for herself," Videl explained.

Gohan smiled and nodded. That sounded like them. Glancing down at his wristwatch, he realized it was time to go.

Their time together was coming to an end, and they both could tell this would probably be the last time they saw each other again. They approached each other and hugged one final time.

"It was really nice seeing you again... Son, don't be a stranger," Videl explained as they split, and Gohan grinned and gave her a thumbs up.

"It was, I'm glad I got to see you again, Videl," Gohan said before he started floating.

"I might visit in a few years again," He offered, but they both could feel it would probably be more than a few years.

She just nodded and smiled as he took off. Her phone immediately rang afterward. Answering it, she turned and flew in the opposite direction. 'It was nice seeing you again, Gohan,' Videl mused. "Hey hun, yeah? I just ran into an old friend from school," she continued her phone call.

Gohan had one destination on his mind now: the Time Chamber. He hadn't trained since he arrived here.
