Chapter 1

Authors Note
: *this is my first fanfic that I have actually typed. My favorite character is Gohan and I thought this could leave the unanswered questions left by the History of Trunks and what happened to Gohan during those years. Please be a responsible reader and review my story...I hope you like it. *Disclaimer
: I unfortunately don't own DBZ or it's characters. I also don' own any of the song lyrics I may put in here. I do however own most of the other ones like Gabrielle, Mr. Kopeland and etc. You get the picture...so on with the story *ENJOY*"Well, I have never heard of him if that's what you're asking, Mr. Kopeland." I asked. He rubbed his forehead, probably in annoyance.
"Miss Yamato, please be more cooperative!" Mr. Kopeland said.
"I specifically requested a person who is not a loser!" I said. I turned around very angrily.
"You may get what you want at home, Gabrielle Yamato, but here you won't be treated as if you were the princess. Your grades are undoubtedly high and you said would be a student aide. It was a random drawing and it was a lotto choice. Accept that. You can not back down on it now." Mr. Kopeland said.
"Ugh...this totally rots!! I don't want to do that!" I said.
"Grow up! You are almost an adult, act like it. No more spoiled brat child!" Mr. Kopeland said. A sudden crash interrupted our argument. I spun around and saw my destiny come forth.
"OH! Mom! Why did you let me sleep in! I have to get to school early and meet my student aide!" I said rushing through the house.
"Gohan! I did, wake you up and you said you were awake!" My mother said.
"And you believed me?!" I asked. I finished rushing through the house and ran all the way to school.
"Excuse me!" a cheerleader named Carrie Ann said
"I am so sorry. Please excuse me." I said.
"Whatever! You freak!" She screamed. The days were getting longer and now seemed to become the longest day. I searched for room 212 where I would meet my destiny. I breathed deeply as I opened the door and heard a girl arguing with a teacher. I walked right into a chair and it toppled over. It interrupted their argument and she turned to face me and our eyes locked, fates clashed and destinies converged.
"Hello, Gohan. This is Gabrielle Yamato, your student tutor. Gabrielle, this is Gohan Son, your student acolyte." Mr. Kopeland said.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Yamato." Gohan said kindly.
"Likewise. Ugh...this is way too daddy-ish for me." I said.
"Daddy-ish? What do you mean?" Gohan asked. I sighed and jumped on top of the table sitting down on it.
"Do you not know who her father is? Gabrielle, off the table!" Mr. Kopeland asked. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Umm... No. Should I?" Gohan asked. I jumped off the table with a swaying walk.
"My daddy is the vice CEO for Capsule Corporation. And I am sure you've heard of that company." I said.
"Yeah, I have. I personally know the Brief family." Gohan said countering my snootiness.
"She meant that with that she has many responsibilities and one is to pretend to have respect for her elders, but as you can see, she could care less. That and another would to be charming, that too is faked." Mr. Kopeland said. I turned around and stuck my nose in the air.
"I don't always fake it." I said.
This girl was something else. She was so stiff and difficult to comprehend. "How can you just fake charm?" I asked. She just laughed at me.
"Easy. I do it to please Daddy." She said so easily, like it was rehearsed. There was something about her.
He was very something, I just didn't know. "Why do you always butt in, Mr. Kopeland?" I asked.
"Shouldn't you act respectful towards him?" Gohan asked.
"I don't do respect, and don't expect me to show you any different." I said, haughtily.
"Oh, really? He would have never noticed." Mr. Kopeland said.
"Must you always patronize me! I am no longer a child, Mr. Kopeland. I do not fall to the whims of others. Especially to a whim made by a assumptious old man!" I said, a little louder than I should of.
"Well, I shall leave you two to get acquainted. Good luck, Gohan. You will definitely need it." Mr. Kopeland said.
"Then, leave. Don't let the door hit you on the way out." I said.
She had a definite attitude. She was a kind of girl who was gorgeous and knew it. The worst mix. Oh man, but she was hot.
"Are you just going to stare at me? I could get a picture and let you drool on it. That would save me time, you know." Gabrielle said.
"I thought this program was designed to help people. How come you are a student tutor, when you obviously hate the job. I could manage on my own. I don't need a negative influence, if you know what I mean." I said. She stared at me, disbelieving what she just heard.
"Excuse, me, Mr. Hot Shot but no one tells me what to do except for my father. You don't look old enough to be my father so just but out!" She said, really steaming.
"What's the deal, Gabrielle? No one could ever go through their entire life as hard and stiff as you seem to. This isn't your true self, I can feel it." I said. This caught her off guard.
"You are so unbelievable rude! How dare you say that about me! I am not hard and stiff! You are one to talk. Have you ever lived in the real world? Is your life perfect? I bet it is. Your mother and your father, both alive and both happily married to each other and you are their only child. Well, wake up and smell the coffee. The real world isn't like that, I know. So either you wise up or you keep your mouth shut!" She said with this flicker of anger, hate, confusion, sadness, and loss.
"Like you would know anything. My father is dead. My mom is in total denial. I was their only child. How would you feel to wake up every morning feeling the loss of all the people you knew and cared about were suddenly gone in an instant? You haven't felt anything, Gabrielle Yamato." I said with such conviction. This girl really fired me up.
"Oh? And you have? I know what it like to see a person alive and then five seconds later they are no longer breathing! Don't ever talk about that if you have never experienced it!!" Gabrielle yelled. So she had experienced loss. Good, at least I know where she stands.
He was so rude! I could not believe his arrogance! "Well, I see you have nothing to counter that, Mr. Son. I want you to know that I will never be a googly girl who will follow you around. So don't expect it. Other than that, I am not your friend so don't think this will end in a friendship or more. I have a boyfriend who I love." I explained.
"That doesn't bother me any. I don't want to be your friend. My entire existence here isn't to socialize. It is to learn, although I need no help anywhere. My mom just signed me up for this dumb program." Gohan said bitterly. For some reason, way beyond me, I was crushed. I didn't let that show, though.
I totally regretted what I said to her but she made me so mad. I had never talked like that. Piccolo and my dad always taught me to be heads up on any situation. That included keeping a cool head no matter what and I always have but this girl really fired me up. I don't know why but I felt so guilty afterward. She ran to her class and I just meandered in the general direction of my class.
This guy really got under my skin, I don't know how or even why but there he was. I ran into Jacien, my boyfriend on the way to class.
"Hey babe, what's shaken?" Jacien asked me.
"Oh nothing, how are you, Hunkers?" I asked.
"Just wondrous, except for the fact that I am at school." He said. I found myself in a semi-dream state.
**** "Why am I here?" I asked to the air*************************************
**** "You can't be here too? This is impossible!" a voice said. *******************
"Hey, Gaby!! Gabrielle, wake up." Jacien said to me, shaking me violently.
"Huh? What? Get your hands off me!!" I said awakening quite violently.
"Sheesh! I was just trying to wake you. Don't jump down my throat. What's your deal, Gabbie? You aren't being your usual halfway pleasant self." Jacien said.
"Oh, I just met my student aide person today. That's all it is. Don't worry. I'll be okay." I said sweetly.
"Okay." Jacien said skeptically. I whisked off to class and I sat down in my seat.
"Hey, Gabrielle. Did you meet your student?" My best friend Kira asked.
"Yeah, I did. He's a real loser. I can't believe Mr. Kopeland put me with him. He is arrogant, and a total jerk!" I said. I just had this dwindling feeling that what I was saying wasn't true.
"Oh, man. That would so suck. I got Pike, he is so pushy. You know he's wanted you since we were freshmen." Kira said
"I know. I can't believe he doesn't realize that I have a boyfriend and am very happy." I said.
******Oh my. She is here. I wasn't dreaming**********************************
"Mr. Son, will you please tell us the formula for slope?" My math teacher, Mr. Cruz said.
"Huh? Oh yes, umm...m equals y2-y1 divided by x2-x1." I answered absently.
"Correct. You are allowed to continue to daydream. " Mr. Cruz said.
"Thank you, I guess." I said. It really bothered me that Gabrielle was in my mediations. What was that trying to prove?
"Hey, baby. You wanna go out for lunch?" Jacien asked.
"No, I'm sorry. My head aches and I need to stay here to meet up with Gohan. I'll see you later." I said, kissing his cheek.
You can't run away forever,
But there is nothing wrong with getting a good head start
"Hey, I thought Jacien said you guys were going out for lunch," Kira asked, running up behind me.
"He is going. I have to meet Gohan during lunch, so I need to stay here. You can stick around if you want. I am so out of it today, I am so sorry!" I said, trying to sound dumpy. There was that ever nagging feeling that something was wrong.
"Did you hear? The androids are coming closer. I heard on the news that they are done with their trip to Europe. They predict that the androids will come here soon. My mom says there is no way to stop them, that is sad for the human race." Kira babbled.
"Mmhmm..." I said. I subconsciously looked around for Gohan.
"Who are you looking for?" Kira asked.
"Hmm? Umm...no one." I said, realizing what I was doing.
Another wonderful lunch. I knew no one and I had no desire to meet anyone. I would just end up losing them too. I gave up. My mom and I live with my grandfather and no one else. We are loners and only talk to the Brief family once in a while. It's sad really but we deal.
"Excuse, me creep. But that is our table. My for being a creep, you are awfully cute." A girl said, she kind of reminded me of Krillin's old girlfriend, Marron.
"Yeah, umm...so I've been told." I said. She was cute but there was that ever-nagging feeling that it wouldn't be right.
"So, do you have a girlfriend? Oh, how clumsy of me. My name is Marin." She said.
"MARRON?? NO WAY!" I said, leaping from my chair. This scared the poor girl and I had to apologize profusely when she began to cry. "I'm sorry. It's just I knew this girl named Marron when I was little. Don't take it personally"
"Yeah, don't take anything he says personally, Marin." Gabrielle said as she swayed her way towards me.
"Oh, Gabrielle. I didn't know he was a friend of yours. I am so incredibly sorry. I am a terrible person. Please forgive me." Marin said. I was shocked. How could this little bitch have so much power over these people?
I saw Gohan as the dumbest girl in our school, Marin was trying to get him out of his seat. I silently laughed and just to tick him off, I walked towards the table, just to prove how much power I had. He sat there slack-jawed as I made Marin leave.
"How did you do that?" Gohan asked. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Easy. Just go out with the finest guy in the school." I said lazily shrugging.
"I doubt that would work for me." Gohan said. I sat down across from him. "So, what is high princess Gabrielle doing over here with my riff raff self?"
"Well, I worry about you." I said cruelly. "Anyways I have to ask you something."
Ask me something? What could this girl possibly want? "Okay, so shoot." I said, causally.
"Why did I fall into a dream like state and hear you? Why are you haunting me? Are you a psychic or something, because I warn you that I do not like to be messed with. You are making strain between Jacien and me and I don't like it." Gabrielle said.
"Come over to my house today, I shall explain everything." I said as calmly as possible.
"What?! Come over to your house? I don't think so, Buddy Boy. I'm not stupid!" Gabrielle screeched. What did she think I meant?
He is such a jerk! Wanting me to come over to his house. That would have many adverse effects.
"I want you to come over so we can talk about this." He said. Oh, boy, did I feel like an idiot.
"Oh. Well fine. I have your address in my paperwork. I see you later then." I said turning away. He whispered something like 'this is more like it, it finally feels right' and as strange as it sounds, I was starting to agree.
"Why did you go over there?" Kira asked.
"Oh, that's my study person..." I said in a daze.
"Ooo...He's hot! My Kami, you were lucky!" said Kira. Lucky, yeah, lucky... I sudden kiss was planted on my lips.
"Hey, baby. I brought you a drink. Here, drink up." Jacien said, handing me a cup.
"Okay. Thanks Hunkers. I was dying of thirst" I said. I thirstily drank it down.
"Whoa! Calm down girl!" Jacien said. The rest of the day was a blur. I floated until I headed home.
"Hey, Gabrielle. How was your day, sweetie?" My dad asked.
"Fine, Daddy. Where is Diana?" I asked.
"Sleeping. She didn't feel good. Her tummy hurt, or so she says." My dad said.
"Oh. Well. I'll be back in a while. I have to go to my study partner's home." I said as I took my coat to walk out of the door.
"Who is your study partner?" My dad asked.
"Gohan Son. Why? Did you think I would lie to you, Daddy?" I asked sweetly.
"No, baby. I just wondered." He said. He then left the room and headed in his office. He had been working at home for a while now to spend more time with Diana. Diana is only three and is very unconfident in her own abilities. I drove in my new car to Gohan's house.
"Hello? May I help you?" a burly man asked as he opened the door.
"Yes. Does Gohan live here?" I asked.
"He sure does. May I ask who you are?" He asked.
"I am Gabrielle Yamato, his student aide." I said.
"Oh, really? ChiChi!! Come and meet Gohan's student aid!" he yelled.
"Oh. My you are very pretty. I am his mother. GOHAN! GO-HAN! COME HERE!!" She yelled.
"What is it mom?" Gohan said walking into view. "Oh, it's just you. Come in, I guess."
"I was already invited in, thankyouverymuch" I said as rudely as possible.
"Did we...miss something?" ChiChi asked. Gohan and I ran to his room. I walked in and saw it was perfectly in order. I saw pictures of various people, mostly of a group of people. There was ChiChi, his mother. A man that I would guess as his father and a chibi version of himself.
"Is this you?" I asked pointing to a picture of a five-year old with extremely cute hair.
"Yeah, right before I went Namek. Why?" Gohan asked rifling through his stuff, obviously looking for something.
"Namek? Where is that? Eww...what's wrong with this guy, he's green." I shrieked.
"THAT is my old master, Piccolo. He was Namekian. Namek is a planet that the Dragonballs originate from." Gohan said.
"Dragonballs? What are they?" I asked turning towards him.
"They no longer exist. I am actually beginning to doubt if they ever did. My dad had one from his earthling grandfather, Gohan who was my namesake. It was the four star one." He explained.
"Is this your dad?" I asked pointing to a picture.
"Yeah. That beside him is Krillin, who was a good friend of ours. The bald guy next to Krillin is Tien and beside him is Chaotzu. The guy in the corner is Vegeta and the guy with the black hair is Yamcha. The blue hair lady is..." He said
"Bulma Brief. I know." I whispered.
"How did you know that?" He asked.
"I don't know. Her name popped in my head." I said.
"Oh, okay, well this is her son.." Gohan said
"Trunks and his father is Vegeta. You are so lucky to have such memories." I said.
"I guess I was right." Gohan said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Well, have you ever felt that something is so right that you can taste it?" He asked. I was so shocked. He could read my thoughts and I could his.
I was very impressed when Gabrielle knew the names, I figured she was reading my mind. I knew she was. I could feel her presence inside of it. I would not tell her this.
"Why were you in my dream?" She asked bluntly.
"Why were you in mine?" I asked her.
"I was in your dream as well?" She said, mortified.
"Yeah, you were. I would assume that is because I was in yours." I said.
"Why you? I can't stand being around you for any length of time and..." She started
"You can't stand being away from me." I finished.
"Yeah. How did you know that?" She asked.
"Because I feel the same." I said
My breathing stopped. How could he feel the same way about ME? This was really freaking me out, but then at the same time, it was like it was supposed to happen.
"So we are connected? What does that mean?" I asked.
" I am not sure. What are we going to do now?" He asked.
Well, that's chapter one! Please R&R.. This is my first story and I want to know if I should continue...
