Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or it's characters. Though I wish that I did! -Dreamy eyes-
Gohan: Keep dreaming Kim.
Kim: Fine, I will! -Sticks tongue out-
Gohan: -Sighs- Kim will NEVER own any of this. EVER.
Kim: Unless I rob a bank and become a millionaire and buy it from Akira Toriyama! -Evil glint in eyes-
Gohan: Oh no....Don't you dare!

*.....* Thinking
"Do do do." Talking
-Blah blah blah- Talking through a bond
* * * * * Going to a different scene, time passing
(A/N: This fic takes place before Videl knows who 'The Great SaiyaMan' is, before they even understand their feelings for each other, and before Buu. Also, Gohan killed Cell before he could explode so Goku is still alive.)
A warm breeze blew through the open window, causing the lock of hair that was set between Gohan's eyes to brush across his forehead. He stirred in his sleep and turned away from the sunlight now streaming onto the bed. A shadow crept behind the door. It leapt soundlessly into the room and tip- toed over to the sleeping demi-saiyan, being careful not to be heard. Gohan snorted and his eyes fluttered open for a moment. The shadow froze in its place. Gohan smacked his lips and snuggled back into his pillow. The dark figure smirked as it carefully jumped into the air, did a flip, and landed, hard, on Gohan's chest. The startled teenager sat up with a scream.
"Mom says that it's time to wake up!" Goten said happily, beating on the now wide-awake Gohan's stomach.
"Goten! Get off of me!" Gohan cried, pushing his younger sibling onto the floor. Goten scrambled up to his feet, looking hurt.
"I'm telling mom!" he sniffed, before tearing off for the kitchen. Gohan sighed and put his feet onto the floor. He got dressed then headed downstairs. Chi-Chi was standing at the stove cooking some porridge (A/N: Some? I meant to say a TON). Apparently, Goten had forgotten about telling on Gohan and was too busy playing video games in the next room. Gohan yawned as he sat down at the kitchen table. Goku was sitting across from him, looking slightly upset because he had to wake up so early for no reason at all.
"Morning sweetie!" said Chi-Chi, turning to face her eldest son, "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, but I had this strange dream...." Gohan muttered.
"Oh?" Chi-Chi asked, "What about?"
Gohan shrugged. "I'm not too sure...Something about a girl though," he blushed at the last statement that he made. (A/N: He's so shy, but hey, ya gotta love it!) Goku grinned and Chi-Chi smiled.
"Ah, I see," was all that she said before placing breakfast on the table.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
As Gohan flew through the air he tried hard to remember his dream. He knew that in it, he was confused about his feelings for a certain girl. *Well, I know who that is.* He thought, his face going beet red. An image of a girl with raven hair and azure eyes flashed in his mind. Gohan's face turned a darker shade of red. (A/N: If that's possible at the moment. ^_^) He also remembered that in his dream, the girl had been in love with a different guy. Gohan shook his head mentally and concentrated on the city now flashing below him.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Videl was walking down the street, looking straight ahead of her. The rhythm of her footsteps brought one name to her mind. Go-han. Go-han. Go- han. She scowled. *Why am I always thinking of him?!* She asked herself furiously. *He's a nerd! He's not even good-looking! His hair is ugly, his laugh is enough to give you a headache, and that smile! His smile is the worst.* Videl thought, even though she knew that she was kidding herself. The one thing that she liked most about Gohan was his smile. The way his lips curved to show the slightest hint of dimples on his cheeks. It always made her knees go weak and her heart pound. She gently smacked herself on the face.
*Hell-o! We don't like Gohan, remember?* She scolded herself. Suddenly, her watch went off. *Good, something to take my mind off of.... Him* Videl thought, relieved. She clicked a button on her watch and the captain's face appeared on the mini screen.
"Go ahead Captain," Videl said in her official-who's-butt-do-I-have- to-kick-now-tone.
"Videl, someone is robbing the bank, and according to the screams coming from inside, we have a hostage situation," the Captain said hurriedly. Videl could hear several gunshots going off in the background. "We need you here now!" the Captain yelled, before ducking down out of the line of fire. The screen turned snowy then went blank.
* I better hurry over there!* Videl rushed to the scene of the crime.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile, Gohan had seen the string of police cars in front of the bank. * Agh,* he thought, * I'm going to be late for school...Again.* (A/N: I like the word 'agh' and I have always wanted to hear a cartoon character say it...Hehe. Hey, it's my story!) He boosted up his ki and flew down towards the front of the bank. He landed next to the police and spectators, who began to whisper excitedly and point at him. "Look," Gohan heard one of the policemen say, "It's the Great SandMan!" He sweatdropped and turned onto the clueless cop.
"It's the Great SaiyaMan!" he yelled as the helpless policeman shrank back in fright. (A/N: My friend Lauren and I told our choir teacher to say, 'I'm the Great SaiyaMan!' Instead he said, 'I'm the Great SandMan!' I just had to put that into this story. It cracks me up every time.) SaiyaMan turned back around and stormed into the bank, muttering under his breath. "The Great SandMan," he said mockingly. A bullet came flying at him, which he caught easily and let drop to the floor. He looked up to see a man with a black ski mask pointing a gun at him.
"Hey Jimbo!" one of the crooks yelled to the man with the mask, "Who's that doofus?" SaiyaMan immediately took that as his cue.
"Who am I?" he asked. He struck a few poses while saying, "I am the guardian of the city! Defender of truth! The light in the darkness! I er..." he stumbled around for some more corny phrases.
"Is he for real?" The bank teller asked himself, sweatdropping. At that moment, Videl came running through the door.
"All right you crooks! Hands in the air! We can either do this my way or the hard way! Even though they're kinda the same thing!" she shouted. SaiyaMan turned around and frowned.
*Great, it's Videl.* His heart skipped a few beats at the mention of her name. "Hello Ms.Videl!" SaiyaMan called out, "Nice seeing you again!" Videl took notice of the Great SaiyaMan smiling at her. Something about that smile was oddly familiar.... The sound of gunshots brought Videl back into focus. She dodged sharply to the right, avoiding the hail of gunfire.
"All right! We'll do it the hard way!" Videl yelled, charging at the bank robber nearest to her. The crook looked stunned for a few moments, then before he could recover from his shock, Videl had begun pummeling his stomach in. "Don't. You. Ever. Come. Into. My. City. Again!" she said, matching each word with each hit.
*Wow, Videl is really pumped today!* SaiyaMan thought, watching Videl as she continued to mercilesly (A/N: Me no speel write) pound the living daylights out of the bank robber.
"Frank!" another robber yelled, as he looked on at his friend that was being grounded into a bloody pulp.
"Forget him!" Jimbo, the first crook, yelled, "We got the money! Let's get out of here!" The rest of the criminals sprinted towards the back exit. Videl was too busy keeping her mind off of Gohan to notice the other crooks getting away.
"Oh no you don't!" SaiyaMan muttered, when he saw the others making a break for it. He disappeared on the spot, then re-appeared in front of the retreating cowards. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked in his super hero voice.
"Get out of our way!" Jimbo scowled, pulling out his handgun. SaiyaMan smirked then, with incredible speed, knocked the gun out of Jimbo's hand. With one swift kick he sent him sprawling onto his back. All of the other crooks stared at their fallen colleague. (A/N: This might be spelled right. I hope so!)
"We give up!" they all said in unison, dropping their bags of money and weapons and holding their hands out in a submissive way. Videl came running towards them, but stopped when she saw that the criminals had already been apprehended. (A/N: I gotta stop using these big words.) Videl growled in disappointment. The police came running in to handcuff the shaken-up bank robbers. SaiyaMan looked at his watch.
*8:20?! School started almost an hour ago!* he thought, alarmed. He turned towards Videl. "Er...Nice seeing you again Miss! I'll let you take it from here!" he said, before running out of the bank and taking off towards OSH. (A/N: OSH Stands for Orange Star High. Duh.) Videl ran after him trying to stop him, but he was soon out of sight.
*Darn! He's gone again!* she cursed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Gohan ran down the halls, desperately trying to think of an excuse for his English teacher. *Um...Let's see...I used the alarm clock didn't go off excuse yesterday....The day before was the bathroom excuse...Mental note, that one doesn't work.....What should I use today?* He didn't notice that he had already passed his classroom three times while wandering around the school. *I know!* he thought, a mental light bulb going off in his head. Gohan doubled back and entered his classroom.
"Sorry Mr.Cashem, my car broke down on the way here and you know how hard it is to find another car to hitch hike with when you're living in the mountain area..." he said hurriedly as he passed the teacher and went up to his seat next to Erasa. (A/N: I have a Spanish teacher named Mr.Cashen and I just decided to put in a 'm' and create a new name! Aren't I a genius?)
"Hey cutie! 'Bout time you showed up," the blonde girl said perkily as Gohan slid into his seat. He just nodded in response. Erasa went on, "You haven't missed anything exciting unless you consider conjugating nouns fascinating," she said, rolling her eyes. (A/N: Is there such thing as conjugating nouns?!)
"Yeah, I bet that Brains over there feels like he missed the highlight of his day," Sharpner, the blonde moody teen we all know and love, just had to put his two cents in. Videl came running into the room, her hair askew and her cheeks red from running.
*And yet she still looks good.* Gohan suddenly thought. *Bad Gohan! No thinking about girls, remember?* he scolded himself. *Only thoughts about school and books..School and books...School and books..Man, Videl looks HOT! Ahhhh!* he smacked himself in the head, which earned him a funny look from Erasa. "Heh," Gohan said, waving.
"S-sorry sir," Videl gasped, trying to catch her breath, "There....There was a b-bank robbery and..And.." Mr.Cashem waved his hand at her.
"Don't worry about it Videl," he said, "We all know that you're just doing your job." Videl smiled and went to her seat next to Sharpner.
"Hey Videl, how come you and Gohan are always coming in late on the same days?" Sharpner asked, raising an eyebrow quizzically at the raven- haired teen.
"My, Sharpner, was that a note of jealousy that I heard in your voice?" Erasa giggled, nudging him in the ribs. Sharpner went slightly red and muttered something. "What was that?" Erasa asked, cupping her hand around her ear. Sharpner leaned over and blew, hard, into the blonde's ear. "Eek!" Erasa cried, pulling back.
Gohan chuckled. He liked how Sharpner and Erasa were able to joke around with each other like that. If only he and Videl were like that...... The teacher had begun to continue his lecture on verbs when a tall, handsome young man came in through the door. He had light brown hair and blue eyes. His face was light and cheery, and his smile showed off a row of perfect teeth. He was wearing a t-shirt that revealed a buff body and a pair of blue jeans.
"Hi, my name's Ravi. I'm the new student," he said. Videl couldn't help but notice that he had a very sexy voice.
"Oooo....I'd like to get to know him," Erasa said, batting her eyes. Videl silently agreed. Ravi looked towards her and their eyes locked. He smiled a fantastic smile and Videl could feel herself tremble. All thoughts of Gohan leaked out of her mind as her heart was set on a new goal.....Ravi.
Da da daaaaaa.....Hehe. Did you like it? I can't believe that it took me that long to type such a short chapter! I'm soooooo sorry! I'll try to make the other chapters longer. But...I have one demand. I want 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 reviews before I write the next chapter! -Lightning in background- Mwahahahaha!
Gohan: Isn't that a little too many? I mean, there aren't even that many people in the world!
Kim: -Sighs- I guess you're right.
Gohan: Have I ever been wrong?
Kim: ...........
Gohan: Well?
Kim: ....If I get at least 10 reviews then I will be the happiest girl in the fan fiction world!
Gohan: Answer me!
Kim: Please review!!! -Runs away-
Gohan: HEY!! -Turns to readers- Have I ever been wrong? Huh? HAVE I?!
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or it's characters. Though I wish that I did! -Dreamy eyes-
Gohan: Keep dreaming Kim.
Kim: Fine, I will! -Sticks tongue out-
