[ A very angry looking Videl turns on the feed, looking younger (and angrier) than she has for awhile. Gone is the attractive bob haircut, replaced with the unruly short 'do that makes her look like she has permanent bed head. ]

Okay, you know what? I've had it up to here-- [ Videl makes a measurement motion with her hand extending above her head. ] --with this universe and its time travel junk.

I remember being older here and talking to everyone and going on missions and stuff, but it's more like deja vuu, or like an out of body experience. I remember telling everybody I was married and had a kid, too. Except I don't remember any of that actually happening. [ She huffs impatiently. ] Apparently, I sort of... "blipped"-- [ She makes finger quotes. ] --home for a sec and then reappeared like ten years older. And I remember the whole "being back" part, just not the "being home" part.

[ Her frown deepens. ] I don't think anybody has any idea what's wrong with me. I went to Dr. Gym'll and he said I'm definitely 18 and I've definitely never had a kid before, so either I lied to everybody for months or he has no idea what he's talking about.

[ An exasperated sigh. ]

I just want to find that Time Trapper guy so I can punch his stupid face in.

(ooc; Videl is permanently aged down to a teenager again. She’s lost all her memories of being an adult except for what occurred here in Legion. )

An' you remember something 'bout Pan, right? I know it ain't much, if you're goin' through the same thing as Gohan, but it's something.

I...

[ Videl's expression fell. Suddenly it felt like she was forgetting the most important thing in the universe. ]

...I don't. I can't even think of what she looks like.

[Goku can't even imagine what it would be like to forget about Gohan or Goten, so he's definitely willing to help however he can.]

Ooh, I can try drawin' a picture of her! Maybe that'll jog your memory.

Or maybe they've got machines that'll show my memories like a video or something? I dunno, but I'll see what I can do!

Thanks. [ She nods in acknowledgement. A part of Videl isn't sure if she should find out more about the future, in case of making a time paradox or something. But another part really wants to see the daughter she doesn't even know. ]

[ Then something else dawns on her. ] Can I... still call you dad?

Of course! If you wanna, anyways. You two still remember being married, I think, so I don't have a problem with it! [Is that giving too much away about the future? Goku can never keep track - then again, he did nearly spill the beans about Bulma having a kid moments after Trunks explicitly told him to say nothing.]

We're actually still married. [ She admits rather sheepishly. ] You know how we got selected to go on an undercover mission to Olum? [ She wouldn't be particularly surprised or offended if he didn't. Even without memories of the last ten years spent with her father in law, Videl knows how much of a space case he is. ]

Well, we had to scan some fossils in this sacred region where the Olumites only let couples who go through their marriage ritual go. Gohan and I did all the rituals and ceremonies and stuff, so we're kinda legally married by U.P. standards...

[ Videl is eternally grateful that she's not having this conversation with Chichi right now. She'd have as much of a chance to receive sincere well-wishing from Chichi as she would to incite an unholy rage in her mother in law. Chichi was nothing if not unpredictable. ]

Oh, okay! Don't think I heard about that one. That must've been when I was time travellin' or something.

Still, congratulations! ...Do I have to get you a gift? I ain't too sure how that all works. [He hasn't been invited to too many weddings, and obviously, Chi-Chi handles that kind of thing by default.]
