Description Chapter three
“What where you thinking?!” Bolma yelled at Gohan. “Apparently all those years Chi Chi had you studying where for nothing!!!”
“Look, I’m sorry! I didn’t think-”
“Damn right you didn’t think!” Gohan backed away from the angry blue haired lady.  “You never, NEVER let someone with head trauma go to sleep!”
“Um, ma’am, I’m fine. No harm done.” Videl said, trying to calm her down. “That’s not the point!” she growled. “Gohan should have known better than that!”
“Bolma- please! Can you fix me or not?” she asked with a desperate look.
“huh-” She instantly calmed down. “It’s not a matter of ‘fixing’ you. It’s all up to your mind. We just have to wait for you to remember who you are.”
“There’s no way you can…help her remember?” Gohan asked, slipping his hand into hers.
“No. I’m afraid not.”
“Well how long’ll it take?”
“No way to tell.  She’ll probably remember bits and pieces here and there until some thing acts as a catalyst to cause her mind to return.”
“Well like what?” Gohan questioned, squeezing Videl’s hand.
“Anything really. A song, a smell, a taste, doing something you’ve always done or always wanted to do, a book she used to love, maybe a picture or a movie. But, I wanna warn you; some people NEVER do get their memories back. Or only parts.” She gave them a smile. “Now go, get on with normal life.”
Videl looked sadly at the woman. “What if I don’t know how?”
Bolma reached out and pulled the young woman close to her. “Trust me sweetie. No one knows how. They just do the best they can.”
“I-I don’t think-”she trailed off, leaving her thoughts to her self.
“You don’t think what?” Bolma asked.
“I don’t think Gohan-“ she hung her head and finished her thought to her self ‘wants me’
Bolma kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry so much. Just relax. Let it work its self out. You streesin’ wont do anything but worry you. Now go get on with your normal life.” She shooed them out of her office,
‘Normal life’ Videl thought to her self as they walked. ‘And just how am I supposed to do that?’
“So, um, you have anywhere you wanna go or anything?” Gohan asked.
“The ocean.” Videl said. Salt water, running through the sand, slippery algae covered rocks, the two of them flying up to sit atop a light house.  A memory flashes through her head like a miniature movie. Picking up a starfish, finding a sand crab, making love under the pier, walking the boardwalk. She blinked back to reality and found Gohan curiously staring at her.
“You ok Sweet heart?” Gohan asked. She quickly retold everything shed saw and was rewarded with a tight embrace. “That’s great Videl! That really is. Maybe if we go there you’ll remember something else. Ok?” She nodded, smiling at his enthusiasm. He took her hand, pulling her close as he jumped into the air and took off flying. She clenched her eyes and clung tightly to him. “It’s ok. Relax.” He said. “Trust me baby, I wouldn’t let you fall.” She tentatively opened her eyes, than watched intently as trees and rivers wiped by.  They landed at the house, threw on there suits and within minutes where back in the air and heading for the ocean.

“So what do you wanna do first?” Gohan asked as there feet touched the ground. He loosened his grip on her but still left his hand resting upon her shoulder.
“Um…” she looked around, gaze finally settling on the sapphire ocean in front of them. “The water.”
“Sounds good.” He grinned as he added, “Last one there’s a rotten egg!” and took off running. She laughed trotting slowly after him. She wasn’t in any hurry. She was so busy staring at him she didn’t notice anyone coming toward her until >>CRASH!!<<
next thing she knew she was sprawled out on the sand with a blond haired, blue eyed boy who looked slightly dazed himself. He rubbed his head and stood up, picking up a bright red Frisbee as well. “Whoa, sorry dude.” He said, helping her find her feet. “I was goin after the-” he shook the red disk in his hand. “Yea, well sorry.” And he ran off back to his friends.
Videl walked forward a few steps, looking around but didn’t see her escort. She took off running in the direction she thought she last saw him. “Gohan?” she called out. No one answered. She spun, looking at all the faces. Nope. None of them where him.
Gohan frowned, looking behind him. “Videl?” she was nowhere in sight. He jogged back slightly “Videl!” He called, just a little louder this time. “Shit.” He cursed under his breath. He’d lost her! The beach was to crowded to locate her by ki and he didn’t wanna fly above the crowed and call notice to himself. He took off searching.
Videl was worried and thoughts filtered threw her mind. The kind that normally show up when you’ve become lost. And that’s what she was, lost. They flew here so there was no car to wait next to. What if she couldn’t find Gohan? What would she do? She had no idea where she lived, her phone number or anything. She didn’t even know her last name! Even worse, what if that had been his plan all along? What if he’d decided he didn’t want her around any more, didn’t want a head-case for a girl friend and brought her here with the soul purpose of dumping her off?
‘Forget not drawing attention’ Gohan thought as he jumped into the air and whizzed about the crowd. He needs to find his girl. ‘Not her, not her, not –there!’ he landed a few steps away from her. “Videl!” he called as he walked towards her. She turned and he was shocked to see tears in her eyes.
“Gohan!” She moved forward and he enveloped her in a tight hug.
“What’s wrong?” He asked, tilting her face up to him. “Are you ok baby?”
She nodded, a smile breaking out as the tears started falling. “Yea. I’m fine, it was just me being stupid.”
“tell me.” He softly pleaded.
“I-” She looked down “I was afraid you’d left me.” She was sure he’d laugh at her or get angry at the misjudgment of his character. Instead he frowned sadly and softly stroked her cheek. “oh, Videl, never. I would never just leave you like that. Never!” As he spoke He leaned so they where just inches apart. He wanted to kiss her. Everything inside of him told him to but he didn’t. How would she react?
Instead she closed the gap. There lips met and she instantly sank onto him. “Mmm.” She moaned against his lips. Her hands came up behind his head, pulling him close. They stood therer for almost a full five minutes before Gohan pulled away breathing raggedly. “Llets get in the wwater.” He stammered, hopeing she didn’t notice his arousal.
“Yyea.” She agreed, equally as out of breath. Her whole body felt hot and ashamed as she was to admit it she wanted him.

“Eee!” Videl squealed, turning to hit the ball. She bounced it into the air than spiked it at him. He flung his hand at it, instead of going forward it sailed behind him. “Yes!” She cheered sure shed scored a point. “Huh?” He speed over and hit it just before it hit out-of-bounds.
“No fair.” She pouted as it landed with a thud on her side. “That’s cheating. I can’t fly!”
“Can too. You just have to remember how. Come here.” She walked over to him. “Now close your eyes. Good. Now picture all your strength gathering into a tight ball in your stomach. Got it?” She nodded and began to glow slightly, a gentle wind blowing cross the sand. “Ok now picture it all coming out your feet.”
She scrunched up her face, a crease crossing her nose than: “WOAH!” She shot into the air about 12 feet than plummeted back down.
“Got ‘cha!” Gohan caught her before she hit the sand. “That was great, really. Um, this time don’t let it all go at once, ok?”
“Yea.” She nodded with a bashful smile. 20 minutes later they where side by side, flying threw the clouds headed for home.

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


i think this fan-fiction is really good and very well organized. i do think it was short though i think it needs a few more chapters and it would be perfect. i like the idea of videl getting amnesia because it is an original idea and its is a good on too!!!

i did not think it had much impact though try adding a fight scene or videl getting kidnapped but besides from that well done you did really really really well but as i said before i want to read more please add more!! i will keep an eye.

Very nice, you're getting better at this. It's good you're managing to make your stories longer.

Something I think would help readers would be spacing. It's a bit easier to read if you put a space between paragraphs so one doesn't run into the other.
