[ 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. )

[ Gohan wasn't so much dreading this as he was unsure how to even proceed. He wasn't really good at talking about this sort of thing, but... well, apparently future him was? So in a way he was? And... yeah, that's kind of the point. ]

So um... we're... technically still married. Here.

... Do we... wanna stay married? Would you rather not? I'm kind of having a hard time figuring out which one is the most "normal" thing for us. Us dating, or us being married?

[ Oh, Videl has been dreading this like nothing else. It's been hard to keep her mind on anything else. Her own thoughts stress her out a lot less than her fears about what Gohan must think now... ]

Even if you take out the ten years we just lost, we've basically been married here for awhile. Even before Olum.

[ She pauses. She knows what she wants, but she's not sure she wants to admit it. Gohan's usually so accommodating that he'll agree to something just to make the other person happy. Right now, that's the last thing she wants. ]

[ As much as Gohan's prone to overthinking things, this conversation's actually surprisingly simple for him. Sure, the details were incredibly muddy, but he had a clear idea of how he stood on one thing, at least. ]

Yeah, I know. And it's weird trying to make sense of that, especially when I don't remember our first wedding.

... But I remember the one we had here. And I don't... really need to remember how much I love you, that's always been pretty clear. [ And he says this like it's obvious, like it's no big deal. ]

I like being married. But if you're not comfortable with it, it's fine.

N-No, no, I want to stay married!

[ Realizing what she said, she blushes. ] I... really love you too. And I feel like I should be way more weirded out by us being married at this age, but I'm actually not. It's the thing that feels the most normal.

[ She pauses for a moment. ] I actually thought you were totally going to flip out about it and want to get out of it.

[ He shrugged. ]

It feels weird going back to just dating when I have memories of us being married.

[ She shakes her head aggressively. ] I don't want to go back to that at all, having to pretend we're strangers again and haven't been through all this stuff together and don't have a kid and-- just, everything!

Um, right. Speaking of, um...

[ Yes, that is a blush on his cheeks. ]

So um... I have... memories of other stuff too... that we technically haven't... done...?

[ She just noticed the setting change and holy cow was this conversation only private just now? ]

Y-Yeah, I remember that too. [ She turns away in embarrassment, rubbing the back of her neck. ] Technically, we have done it.

I'm uh... I'm not sure what counts as 'technically' in this conversation...

[ And he doesn't wanna think too hard about it, because time travel makes his head hurt. ]
