College … not at all what Goten had expected it to be? He remembers the "glory days "of high school where he had ruled the school last year in his senior year. Endless pranks and girls it was the life. He could never understand why Gohan went through high school just focusing on his studies though there dad was dead then. Gohan was now living on his own with his own job in the city, and training in the moments between. Meanwhile Goten was stuck here in the lecture Hall of Hercules University. The professor kept babbling on and on about stuff that Goten couldn't even wrap his mind around. Goten's empathy for this class showed as he drifted in and out of day dreaming.
"I wonder what my dad is doing now. I wonder if Gohan will enter the world tournament. I wonder how life is going for Bra and trunks."
Trunks his best friend, was probably currently training with his father for the next World Championship games. Waves of jealousy went through Goten since that was where he basically wanted to be. When he was younger he would enter into the World Championships every year from age 7 to 13 he had met his father for the first time there and watched Goku and Gohan win many great matches there. "Goten?!" the professors voice pulled him fatly from his day dreaming.
"uhhh yes sir !" Goten stuttered as he jolted himself back into reality. "Since you seem to be listening so intensively would you mind telling us what I just explained to the class about Limits?" gosh he hated Calculus.
"I uhhhhhhh Limits are …. Math related …?" Goten said as his whole class erupted into felt his cheeks burn from the rush of blood that filled them. He looked like a very attractive half-sayian tomato. He remembered how back in high school Bra , The younger sister of his best friend Trunks , would help him with his homework in every class his senior year. She was just a freshman and he a senior though he never thought much of it since he had known Bra since they were young. Without her there was no way he would be in this university... However, without her he won't be able to graduate this university...
"Oh the irony ... "gotten mumbled to himself.
Goten had never been so happy to have class end. He moved himself to a remote corner of the university and shot up into the sky. He glanced down to make sure he was high enough that he was out of seeing distance from the other students then he shot off into the direction of The briefs family house.
Upon his arrival to the briefs house hold he immediately sensed Vegeta and Trunks presence. "Oh course there training he thought… I'll just let myself inside again and wait." Goten let himself in and plopped down on their house as he felt trunks and Vegeta's presence grow closer. They were headed back into the house and judging by Vegeta's fury training did not go well. He could hear their voices grow closer.
"And in 3...2 ...1 " Goten whispered as he hit one Trunks slammed through the front door as Vegeta followed him from behind yelling " I can't believe this boy you have grown soft when you were eight years old you could have fought better than that and generated enough energVegeta followed him from behind yelling " I can't believe this boy you have grown soft when you were eight years old you could have fought better than that and generated enough energy to turn into a super sayian with ease now your soft boy ! I bet even that clown Hercules could beat you now with how soft you fought!" Vegeta's kept letting lose as Trunks anger and annoyance grew. Goten could fell the rage begin to boil inside of trunks. Vegeta did this on purpose trying to get that same text book reaction out of his son. "You don't think I don't know that dad!" Trunks finally snapped "If you are so sure that I am soft well then maybe we should go back into the gravity chamber and see for yourself." Vegeta's plan worked and as soon as Goten thought that they would go back in for another round of training Vegeta had a change of heart. He crossed his arms "No boy you had your chance for the day... Hasn't he Goten?" Vegeta called out. Goten wasn't at all surprised frankly he was shocked they hadn't noticed or sensed him earlier.
"Yeah Trunks." Goten said as he walked over to the kitchen and grabbed an apple out of the fruit bowl on the table and took a bite. "Just prove him wrong tomorrow when you're rested." Goten smirked and Vegeta eyed this development as a challenge but decided against it. "Pah" Vegeta grunted as he moved himself to head out " I would take that as a challenge kakarot brat but since you're in college and obviously haven't been training I would be wasting my time as well. " Vegeta smiled as he walked out.
"Have I really noticeably grown THAT soft ..." gotten asked his friend.
"No… well not really." trunks started with his dear friend. "You see Goten you haven't really trained in over a month in a half and even before that you haven't been seriously training at all through your high school years. I mean our dads train everyday Gohan trains constantly as do I. Don't even get me started on Piccilo and Tien. Krill in and 18 even train some to maintain a pleasant form but you just have fallen behind my friend." Goten hated the sound of him going soft. As much as he acted opposite he was still had sayian blood and the pride that came with it. "Really is that so. "
Trunks got semi annoyed at his friend. "Look Goten, we will go over this later, why are you here anyways my friend." Trunks stated changing the subject.
"Well I ... you see I kind of came to see Bra actually." Goten said as he scratched the back of his neck. Trunks eyes bulged out of his head at the mention of his sister. "uhh what Goten?"
"yeah .. Well last year she tutored me in a lot of my classes last school year and without her help I've fallen behind in school...fast" Goten said almost ashamed "I guess I got my dad's brain instead of Gohans."
Trunks began to feel bad "Oh I'm sorry man I had forgotten about that she had tutored you last year. " Trunks nervicly laughed. "I thought you were saying that you wanted to see her for different reasons..."
Goten was shocked at the thought. Why would trunks ever think Goten felt that way for Bra? Sure Bra was cute and sweet, pretty much everything he ever wanted in a girl. She was funny and charming... gotens mind began to trail off he got it back in enough time to respond to this. "No ... "he said to his friend as his face grew hot ... "No that's Bra she's like the little sister I never had."
"Well Goten she's not home from school yet." trunks started "I'm actually supposed to go pick her up soon."
"How about I pick her up ... "The words poured out of goten's mouth before he really got a chance to think about them. Trunks began to raise an eyebrow. "Come on trunks Bra is like my little sister and I haven't seen her in over a month. " Trunks reluctantly agreed. "Take the BmV." Trunks said as he tossed the car keys to Goten. "That's what I normally go to pick her up in and I'm assuming you flew here anyways." Goten caught the keys.
"Thanks man don't worry I'll have her home soon."
"Nah man takes as long as you want. Dad will be training and I'll be with mom at capsule corp. for a work shift so just keep her preoccupied till you need to be at you dorms I guess." Trunks started to head for the stairs. "See yah man. "
"See yah "Goten said as he walked out the door. He walked into the capsule corp. garage and Got into the Bum put the key in the ignition and drove out towards his old high school. The feeling of nostalgia almost made him laugh… as he pulled into the front parking lot he got out and leaned against the side of the car closed his eye and waited for the last school bell to ring.
Bra's POV
Bra sat in her last period class tapping her pencil against the desk. There was only two minutes left in this class and her day had been horrible. The boy she was dating had dumped her and now she was struggling in AP Calc. It was a horrible day and couldn't wait to just get home. She had on a white sweatshirt, blue jeans and her blue hair pulled into a messy bun and glasses on. She practically personified bum. FINALLY the school bell rung and she was able to leave her class. She felt an odd yet somewhat familiar presence but the presences ki disappeared just as fast as it had appeared "weird" she thought. She went to her blue locker and opened it. As she began putting her books into her bag she saw a tall jock in a football uniform come up to her locker. She knew his blonde hair from her peripheral and the ki … It was her now ex boyfriend Chad. He was tall and tan with perfect white teeth. He looked more like the stereotypical surfer then a jock, he was also a senior.
"What do you want Chad." she said without looking at him. She felt like she should fell sadder... but she felt surprisingly fine.
"Baby." Chad started "You know I was just mad about my game earlier I'm not done with you I'm sorry babe you know I love you."
"So every time you lose a game I'm just supposed to peel over and expect you to break up with me the next day and upset me for no reason." Bra said looking at Chad in the face angrily this time. She gave a classic Vegeta look.
"Whoa babe claim down. "He said as he put his hands on her shoulders.
"Don't touch me! "Pushing his hands off of her with a strength that seemed to surprise Chad. She slammed her locker shut and walked away from him without looking back. She walked out the school towards where Trunks normally parked to pick her up. She saw a group of girls all freaking out huddled up looking out the windows in front of the school out at the parking lot
"Look at him ohh he's so dreamy." Said one teenage girl.
"He's so perfect man I've missed looking at his face in the hallways. "Said another girl with red hair named Stacey. Bra had Finite class with her so she felt somewhat comfortable talking to her. "Stacey what is every one freaking out about."
Stacey looked at bra "Look outside leaning up against the BmV." Bra looked outside and she couldn't believe it. Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. It was her brother's best friend Goten. Goten... she had always harbored a secret crush for him. He sat there eyes closed head leaning back looking at the sky. His black hair perfectly spiked up and brown eyes and soft cheek bones. He looked just like his father and brother minus the hair. His body was muscular and fully sayian under the white tee shirt he was wearing he had blue jeans and white shoes. He looked casual yet beautiful … like and angel and he was leaning up against a black BMV... Her BMV she realized... "Oh my" was all she could get out. Bra didn't waste any time she left the back of teenagers and walked out the door towards Goten.
"Goten?!" Bra said as she walked towards him and she desperately hoped her nerves weren't showing in her voice. Goten smiled and moved his head down from the sky and looked at her. "Hey it's my favorite high schooler in the world." Goten said at her approach .She could fell her cheeks getting hot at his compliment.
"You just about gave every girl in this whole school a heart attack by showing up here." Bra crossed her arms and laughed. "Apparently they all missed their Goten. "
Goten smiled "Ah some things never change. Speaking of which they don't look to happy to see you talking to me." Bra turned and looked back at the windows of the school. The girls who were just drooling over Goten moments before were now giving Bra a glare that could melt ice. "Something tells me they will be even madder when they see you get in the car with me. "Goten said
"I'm getting in the car with you?" She said in shock.
Gohan began to laugh "What did you think I was here for as much as I love the adoration of my millions of high school girl fans. I came here to pick you up. "
Bra walked over to the passenger side as Goten got into the driver's seat. "So let me guess I should assume that you were at trunk's he didn't want to come get me so he made you do it." She said sourly. She was surprised by how mad she sounded, but at the same time she had a very hard day and didn't want Goten to come pick her up as some favor to her brother.
"UH No..."Goten said a little shocked by her sudden hostility. "Actually I was having a pretty crappy day at college and I need help so I thought of you my favorite tutor and all the fun times we had last school year so I volunteered and according to your brother I can have you out for the rest of the afternoon. "
Bra felt the heat rush to her face as she watched Goten drive. His eyes solely focused on the road. She couldn't help but noticed how he pressed his lips together when he was in concentration well he said looking over sat her smiling "What do you want to do."
