Subject: Dragonball #2 and 3

Hey, I did this in songfic form. Hope ya'll like it, and don't get confused. Oh, and I use the Freiza's scouter in this, that's why I've gotten three in one day.

Goodbye to you (Michelle Branch)

-Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with-

Videl stayed kneeled in front of Gohan�s grave for several minutes. This was really it. Going to save the presumptuous half-Saiyan. Hell, she didn�t even know if he wanted to be saved. She had to do it. Yes, she was afraid she�d die as well, but what could she do? She was in love.

-Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by-

Wiping away the tears flowing down her cheeks, Videl stood, giving one long last look at the grave. �So, this is what it comes down to.� Nodding to herself, she flew into the air and out of the graveyard.

-I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing
are starting to get old-

Looking between her scouter and her Dragonball radar, she was quickly zeroing in on her next Dragonball. Shesh, hadn�t she been here before? If only the rules hadn�t changed. Then he�d be alive now.

But that wasn�t her decision, no matter how much she wished it to be. In fact, wishing was the thing she really needed right now.

-It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend-

Smiling in triumph, Videl kneeled and brushed some sand off of the next Dragonball. Holding it up, she was struck by how much like her last journey this was. Except one big thing: A purpose. She had a reason to guard them now. Maybe not with her life (what good would it do for both of them to die?), but with everything she had.

-And I said, �Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew!�
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to -
Taking to the air, she got lost in her thoughts and the clouds. Flying was great like that. Once you got the hang of it, you didn�t really have to think about it. Nothing could be felt touching you but air, and you could just drift off. That�s just what she needed. A release.

- I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you -

However, gravity eventually turned to look at her and demanded to know what she was doing. With a rough jerk, she fell several hundred feet before she got control again, leveling out with a clear view of the countryside. Her radar was bleeping, as was her scouter.

- Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right! -

Landing on the ground in the middle of a sylvan glade, she looked around carefully. �Here Dragonball. Dragonball. Dragonball. Where are you�?� Taking out her other two Dragonballs, she held them out in front of her. They glowed brightly, so she walked foreword. Their glow intensified. Looking up, she saw a large tree.

- Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to! -

Climbing up into the tree, she found the Dragonball nestled in a hole in the trunk. For a second, she set her other Dragonballs there and sat back on a large branch, admiring them. The glow was kind of like a lava lamp, hypnotic. Realizing she had better be on her way, she picked up the Dragonballs and put them in her pouch.

- And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you, but I'm not giving in this time -

Taking off into the air, she let her mind wander again, this time making sure gravity was elsewhere for the moment. Wander to the engagement. Newly alive, with a shiny new body. Both, in fact. He�d just shown up from a long absence. Just popped up, practically saying �Hello, marry me.�

-Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to -
Shrugging to herself, Videl set off towards the north. The next Dragonball was far off, and she�d be flying all night. The things she did for love�.
