Back For You_Chapter 17

The sun was just beginning to set by the time Chichi finally arrived at the mansion. Gohan sighed with relief. He was worried that something terrible might've happened. The little hover car they had owned since Gohan was a boy, touched down on the ground, making sputtering noises as it turned off.

"You must be Gohan's mom," Videl said, descending the stone stairs from the mansion's front door. "It's great to finally meet you."

"Mommy!" In one impressive leap Goten jumped from the front steps, soaring clear over Videl's head, and landing at Chichi's feet. He embraced her in a tight hug, telling her everything he did and saw that day. Gohan watched them with a smile. He felt so happy to have his family together again.

"What...Did he just...How did he do that?" Videl's eyes were wide with confusion. She'd never seen a little boy jump that far. "It looked as if he was flying!"

Goten tilted his head, giving Videl a pitying look." Well, I was flying a little. My brother taught me how to do it a long time ago. Maybe someday he'll teach you."

Videl noticed that Gohan was also giving her a pitying look.

"Normal people don't fly!" Videl hotly responded.

Chichi gently patted Goten's head." Thank Videl for letting you spend the night. We need to head home now. Where's Trunks?"

"He went home already. We saw Bulma when we went to the mall today. He went home with her."

Chichi nodded, then gently pushed Goten by the shoulders. With a sad expression, Goten slowly walked to Videl and hugged her.

" Thank you for letting me spend the night and taking me to the zoo and buying me toys."

"You're welcome. I had a lot of fun. You should spend the night again this weekend. We're throwing a birthday party for my dad. There will be a lot of food and games, of course your Mom is invited to stay too."

Goten gave Chichi a hopeful, pleading look.

" I'll think about it."

Goten bit back a sob. He knew that was just his mom's polite way of saying no. Chichi was going to take him away and he wouldn't be able to see Gohan and Videl again for a long time. He wanted to run to Gohan and hug him so tightly that they would become one person and had taken one step towards him before stopping himself.

Gohan was trembling with rage.

Videl was shocked by Chichi's response. Everyone loved Hercule Satan since he saved the world from Cell. His birthday was treated as a worldwide holiday. Most people couldn't afford to buy an invitation. Handing out free invitations was unheard of but Chichi was her mother-in-law and she wanted to be liked by her." Oh, right, how stupid of me. You live so far away. I can send my best pilot to pick you up and it would only take thirty minutes to get here." Videl started to explain more about the food and celebrities that would be at the parte4y, but Chichi abruptly stopped her.

"I'm sorry, I'll have to think about it. I really need to get going."

"Okay. Are you sure you don't want to stay the night? You've been driving a long time. You look exhausted."

"No. I'll park somewhere and sleep in the car if I need to."

"But—"

"We're leaving now. Goodbye."

Gohan couldn't believe it, was his mom really about to leave without asking how he was doing, or even looking at him? What did he do to deserve this kind of treatment? He jogged towards the car. "Mom, wait!"

Chichi stopped.

Gohan reached out and placed his hand on her shoulder, intending to force her to turn around. She roughly shrugged off his hand.
