FLASHBACK
"Mr Satan, I need to talk to you, but we can't talk here... it has to be somewhere far away from all the cameras." The green-bodied namekian stated.
"About what?" Mr Satan replied, confused and a little creeped out at the same time.
"I'll tell you soon. First, we must go." The green-man said as he suddenly grabbed the martial artist and flew up into the sky. In a matter of minutes the two landed at a floating... mass in the sky. The Namekian put the man down next to him.
"W-where are we?" Hercule asked, stuttering.
"This is the lookout. Where the Earth's Guardian resides." Piccolo said as two people walked towards them. "I'm Piccolo. The short green kid is Dende, pretty much Kami. The other guy is Mr Popo."
"Like... Kami, Kami?" Hercule asked.
"Yes."
Hercule dropped to a knee and asked a question, "So... Mr Kami or Dende... not to be rude or anything, but why am I here?"
"We need you to take credit for defeating Cell. The boy who defeated him is just a kid, a kid who just lost his father. He doesn't need cameras all over him." Piccolo said, jumping back into the conversation.
Mr Satan just started at the Namekian, gathering his thoughts. "So will you do it?" Dende asked.
"Yes." The man replied, kind of taken by surprise with the request.
"And you can not say anything about this. Nothing." Piccolo said.
"I won't... wait... but am I just dreaming?" Mr Satan asked
"No, but let's go. I must take you back to where the battle occurred. Tell the reporters there that it was you who defeated Cell."
Hercule stood there in silence... "Okay."
END FLASHBACK
Gohan awoke from the sound of his alarm, which happened to be his little brother, Goten.
"Gohan! Mom said it's time to get up! You have school!" The energetic kid exclaimed.
The spiky-haired teen groaned... "Is food ready yet?" He asked his little brother.
"Not yet, but it's about to be! Mom said you need to take a shower and wear the clothes she picked out for you."
"Alright. That sounds good, but please don't eat my food like yesterday. If you do, I'll have to take you to Vegeta..." Gohan replied. He did not play around when it came to his food.
"Okay! I won't touch it. I won't touch it." Goten said, repeating himself, he did NOT like Vegeta's discipline.
After a quick shower, Gohan got dressed up in his outfit for school. The outfit consisted of a white shirt with a black vest and black slacks.
As he walked down the stairs, he was greeted by his mom. "Good morning Honey! You ready for your first day of school?" His loving mother asked.
"Yeah, I'm ready. Kind of nervous though." He replied as he sat down at the table next to Goten.
"When is food going to be ready?" Goten whined.
"When it's ready, it's ready. Learn to be patient." The middle-aged mother of two replied.
A few minutes later, the food was ready and not even a minute later it was all gone. Saiyans. Chi-Chi thought.
"Well, I guess I should be heading out. It's a long ways away. I'll see you later Goten! Love you Mom!" Gohan shouted as he ran out the door.
"Wait!" Goten shouted, running out of the house. "I'm going to miss you." He continued, tears dropping down his eye.
Gohan lowered himself to look Goten face to face. "I'll be back before you know it. Trust me. You and Mom will have lots of fun, just don't drive her crazy, okay? I'll even play with you after school!"
"Really!? Okay!" Goten said, wiping the tears from his eyes.
TEN MINUTES LATER
Gohan was soaring through the sky, looking at the view of Satan City from above. He descended from the sky into a dark alley out of sight. He walked out of the alley and started walking in the direction of the school he was attending, Orange Star Highschool.
After a minute or two of walking, gunshots suddenly rang through the air. Gohan ran in the direction of the shots the second he heard them.
I should turn Super to hide my identity. He thought, powering up. Quickly, he flew towards 'Satan Bank' where a gunman was shooting at the police with a bag full of money on the ground next to him. Are you kidding me? People are actually dumb enough to rob banks? I guess some people never learn.. Gohan thought with a sigh. Gohan swooped down to the crime scene Satan Bank, swatting the rifle out of the gunman's hands and punching him softly on the cheek. Effectively knocking him out. Quickly, the half-breed took off in direction of the school, hoping that no one saw what he looked like.
Apon arrival at the school, Gohan walked towards the front office to get his schedule.
"Hey, my name is Gohan Son, I'm new here. Can I get my schedule?"
"Sure thing." The young, attractive receptionist replied with a smile. She soon printed a paper and handed it to Gohan. "I hope you enjoy it here at Orange Star!"
"I hope so too. Thank you very much!" Gohan said as he walked away. Is everyone here that nice? He thought as he wandered around the halls, looking for the staircase. His first class was on the 4th Floor.
Finally, Gohan found the staircase and made his way up to the 4th Floor. The school was fairly empty considering there was still around five minutes to burn before first period, most people were waiting outside, probably talking to their friends.
Wow this place is huge. Gohan thought as he looked around the floor. My first class is in 4B-220. Gohan thought, confused on where that was.
"Lost?" Someone, a girl asked him from behind.
Gohan turned around to face the blonde girl. "Actually, I kind of am." He said, giving her the classic Son Grin, scratching the back of his head.
The blonde chuckled. "New here?"
"Yeah, it's my first day." Gohan replied.
"Oh, well I'm Erasa, with an E." She said, smiling. "What class are you trying to find?"
"World History, Room 4B-220." Gohan replied.
"Really? I'm in that class! Here, follow me!" Erasa exclaimed joyfully, grabbing the Demi-Saiyan's hand and pulling him towards their class. "We're here." She said, letting go of his hand.
"Thank you. This is actually the first time I've ever been to a public school. I've been homeschooled my whole life." Gohan said with a little bit of a chuckle.
"Really? I still get lost in this school and I've been going here for years now! I couldn't imagine this being someone's first public school!"
"Yeah, this place is huge." Gohan said. "Well, I need to go in and talk to the teacher. The bell will probably ring any second now." Gohan continued, walking into the classroom.
The teacher looked to the door as soon as it opened. "Oh, you must be Gohan Son! I've heard great things about you!"
"Yeah, that's me, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Gohan said, shaking hands with the teacher.
While they shook hands, the bell rang and students started walking into the classroom.
"You can call me Mr Knox." He added. "Just stay over here by me and then you can properly introduce yourself to the class."
Gohan nodded and waited by Mr Knox until the tardy bell rang, signaling the start of class.
"Students! Students! Quiet down." The old history teacher shouted with a booming voice, instantly quieting most of the class. "Today we are being blessed with a new student, he actually has a functioning brain, so most of you should take note of his behavior." Mr Knox said, causing some snickers from the class. He then glanced at Gohan to signal him to begin his introduction.
Gohan took a deep breath. "Hey, my name is Gohan and it's nice to meet you all..." he looked over towards the professor, mouthing is that all?
"Yes, that's good. Now please find a seat." Mr Knox said as he walked towards his podium.
Gohan looked around the room in attempt to find an empty seat, but his search was interrupted by a voice from the back of the room.
"Hey Gohan! We have a free seat up here!" The bubbly blonde from earlier shouted.
Gohan made his way towards her and sat in the empty seat. "Thank you... Erasa, right?"
"Yup, that's my name! Oh and these are my friends Sharpener and Videl." She replied.
"It's nice to meet you both." Gohan said, looking to the two friends of Erasa's. In response he got a nod from both Sharpener and Videl.
"So, Gohan. Do you know who Videl's dad is?" Erasa asked.
"No, is he famous or something?"
Great, another one... I wonder what he'll do. Ask for an autograph? Ask for my dad's autograph? Videl thought as she rolled her eyes.
"Yes actually. She is the daughter of Mr Satan!"
Here it comes. Videl thought.
"Huh, really? That must be neat. I really never would've guessed, they don't really look alike." Gohan replied.
Wait what? Videl thought to herself. He didn't go crazy fanboy or something?
"You're in the presence of the daughter of our savior, and you're just thinking about how they don't look alike?" What a dork. He thought, rolling his eyes.
"Shut up Sharpener!" Videl said instantly, defending the new kid. Suddenly, Videl's phone started ringing from her pocket. She immediately grabbed it and saw that it was from the Chief of Police. She then answered it, looked at the teacher for approval and walked out of the class.
"What was that about?" Gohan asked.
"Vi fights crime around here." Erasa replied.
"What!? She can't be doing that, she'll get hurt." Gohan said, surprised.
"No she won't silly. She's the second strongest person in the world behind her father." Erasa informed.
Videl
"Hello?" Videl asked through the phone.
"Miss Satan, do you remember the bank robbery from this morning?" The Chief of Police asked.
"Yeah, some guy just flew by and took care of it in seconds. Do you have more info on that?" Videl asked.
"Actually, yes we do. We slowed down the footage on one of the surveillance cameras and it appears to be a man with glowing gold hair... he's also wearing an Orange Star Highschool badge, just like yours. I'm going to end this call and send you a picture of this guy now."
Once the call was ended, Videl received a message. In this message was a blurry picture... of a man, probably around six-foot with glowing golden hair. He appeared to be wearing a white shirt with a black vest and black slacks.
Normal POV
After looking at the picture for a few minutes, Videl walked back into class and took her seat.
"What happened?" Erasa asked.
"Nothing. It was about this morning at the bank." Videl said, causing Gohan's ears to perk up.
"What happened at the bank this morning?" Gohan asked.
"You didn't hear about it? Apparently some dude at the speed of light knocked out a bank robber." Erasa jumped in.
"Yeah... and I just got a picture of that guy. He was wearing a white shirt with a black vest and some black slacks." Videl said looking to Gohan. "Does that sound familiar to you?"
"Wait, what? He was wearing the same things as me?" Gohan asked, acting innocent.
"I guess that guy also has no fashion sense then." Sharpener snickered.
"Sharpie!" Erasa said, lightly punching him in the arm.
Videl continued to look at the new kid. He does look like he's hiding something. I can tell by those eyes. So innocent, yet so... depressed. She thought to herself.
LUNCH
Gohan's favorite time of the day. Lunch. The teenage half-breed found a shady spot under an apple tree and sat there. He then decapsulized his food and thought about the day (thus far) while he ate his lunch. Erasa seems nice, but Sharpener seems like a genuine asshole. Videl... Gohan was deep in thought, he just couldn't figure out how to describe Videl.
"Gohan!" Erasa shouted, walking over to him and snapping him out of his day dream thing.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"You should come sit by us." Erasa offered.
"Um, sure. That sounds nice."
Soon, Gohan made his way to the table that his three new friends(?) were sitting at.
"Sup Brains." Sharpener said, trying to be as friendly as he knew how to be. "Damn that's a lot of food. Is that for the entire school?" He asked with a laugh.
"I have a pretty big appetite." Gohan replied. He didn't like this Sharpener guy. Erasa soon leaned towards Gohan and whispered into his ear.
"He's only like this to you now to make you think he's the Alpha Male or something. Don't worry, he isn't usually this big of a dick." Erasa whispered.
Gohan nodded and continued eating, although that was kind of difficult when a raven-haired girl just happened to be glaring at you the entire time for no reason.
Lunch went by fast, as did every class — that is until Phys Ed, aka PE. Gohan made his way into the boys changing room and changed into some clothes his mom had packed for PE. The clothes consisted of black joggers with a black long-sleeve shirt. Gohan quickly changed in the bathroom and walked out to the gymnasium.
"Sup Nerdboy." The long-haired teen greeted.
"Hey Sharpener." Gohan replied.
Once everyone was sitting on the bleachers, the coach walked out and gave instructions.
"Okay students! Quiet!" He shouted, causing everyone to stop talking. "Today we will be playing Dodgeball. Team Captains are Sharpener and Videl." He instructed.
Sharpener and Videl both got up and walked towards coach, Sharpener on the left and Videl on the right. "Now pick your teammates. You have five seconds or I'll pick for you. Sharpener gets first pick."
"I got Marker." Sharpener said almost immediately.
"I got Booker." Videl said, wondering who to pick next.
"I got Gohan." Sharpener said, earning a surprised look for Gohan who figured he'd be one of the last people picked. He was also surprised that Sharpener picked him.
Gohan then got up and walked towards Sharpener. "Don't let me down alright?" Sharpener said while reaching out for a fist bump.
"I won't." Gohan said, fist bumping Sharpener.
"I pick Erasa." Videl selected.
AFTER EVERYONE IS PICKED
The real fun was about to get started. Gohan knew he couldn't show off too much of his ability, but he still wanted to compete and win, as that was just Saiyan Nature.
The game was about to start and everyone was getting ready...
"READY, SET... GO!" The coach shouted, causing everyone, including Gohan to run towards the middle of the court to grab a ball. While attempting to get a ball, someone launched one right at Gohan who dodged it by turning his head. Gohan chunked the ball he got just over Videl and hit Erasa perfectly in the head, getting her out.
"Nice one dude!" Sharpener said.
Gohan picked another ball up and this time threw it very hard (for a human) and hit Booker right in the arm, leaving him holding his arm as he walked to the bleachers. As soon as that happened, Videl launched a ball at Gohan with great force and the spiky-haired teen didn't even see it until the last second, but still managed to catch it with one hand.
"God. Damn. Dude." Sharpener said. Gohan had just single-handedly gotten out Videl and he also got out her first two picks as team captain. He certainly didn't regret picking the new kid.
Videl
"W-what!? How did he..." Videl was shocked, her mouth agape. She just threw a dodgeball perfectly at the new kid and he didn't even see it until the last millisecond and still managed to catch it and get her out... how did he...
Normal POV
Soon, the game was over. Gohan and Sharpener together helped build a super team that couldn't be stopped. The two friends found themselves in the changing room. "You know... I didn't know you were actually good when I picked you." The blonde told the onyx-eyed teen.
"I didn't know either. That was my first time ever playing Dodgeball. I mean, I've read about it before, but I never played it." Gohan replied.
"Damn. You need to join some clubs. You know the boxing club could use some more people. You may not be big or muscular or anything, but you have really good reflexes. We could use a guy like you." Sharpener offered.
"I don't think I can. I live too far away." Gohan replied, smoothly. He definitely could if he wanted to, but he didn't exact want to.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, but if you ever want to join, just tell me." Sharpener said as he took his shirt off and began changing, Gohan then went to the bathroom to change.
Soon, Gohan was heading home on the nimbus after a rather long first day at Orange Star Highschool. Overall, he thought it had been a good day. He made some friends, if you can call them that. Among them were Erasa, a bubbly blonde girl that was really nice, Sharpener, a jock he didn't like at first but seemed to like more as the day went on, and finally Videl. He still couldn't describe her. She was kind of a tomboy and was always glaring at him.. he found out that she fights crime, so maybe she was naturally suspicious?
Finally, Gohan arrived at the small house in the 439 East District that he considered home.
"Gohan! Gohan! I missed you!" Goten shouted running towards and jumping on his big brother. "Can we play now!?" He asked, as energetic as ever.
"Hold on just a minute. Let me go put my stuff down and talk to Mom first." He replied with a smile on his face, he actually did miss his little brother while he was at school.
"Okay! I'll be waiting!" Goten said as his big brother walked into the house.
"Hey Mom! I'm home!" Gohan shouted, walking to his room to put his stuff down and then walking back to his mother's room.
"How was it?" His mom asked.
"It wasn't that bad actually. I made a few friends." Gohan replied, causing his mom to tear up a bit.
"My baby boy is growing up so fast." She said with tears. "Meet any girls?" She asked, wiping the tears from her face.
