Authors Note

Hey guys! So basically this is a story that's mostly based around Gohan and Videl but I also want to feature a bit of Bulma and Vegeta in here too. I want to see how it would pan out for these characters if they were here together and had to function as a family. I promise a lot of fun and embarrassment for all our favourite characters so get reading! Good and bad opinions are always welcome if you have a suggestion on how I could improve.

Gohan flew over mount Paozu, enjoying the soft breeze that skimmed over the mountains as he headed back into West City. Every few days he travelled over these lush fields to train and meditate. Piccolo was usually around to join in and offer up pointers but to Gohans surprise and disappointment he was a no show today.

Above clouds and over roads and buildings Gohan flung himself through the skies fast enough so the eyes below wouldn't detect him.

He started his decent down into Capsule Corps back yard, reigning in on all the power signatures throughout the house. Carefully and silently he landed and powered right down and screened over the property, looking for Goten.

He figured it'd be easier to get some quick study time in before Goten realised he was home. The little tyke hung off his brother like your favourite perfume and if he ever asked Gohan for anything he knew he'd never refuse him, it made him Gohans biggest distraction.

He sensed him and his devil twin to the right quickly emerging from the trees and quickly made a run for the back door. Once he was sure they hadn't seen him and he was safe he paced up stairs to his room, discarding his sweat soaked shirt into the hamper as he entered.

Walking over to his desk he twisted his chair around and settled into it before pulling over his biology and chemistry textbooks hoping that he could get some quick revision in before a shower and dinner. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.

Down the hall and to the right in the kitchen stood the one and only blue haired diva. Her eyes lingered out of the window down at her two boys playing in the backyard. Moments ago she spied Gohan flying into the grounds and her mind had drifted towards tomorrow. It was the last day of the summer holidays and Gohan just turning 17 was due to start at his first ever high school and make his first real and normal friends.

Sighing into her cup of tea she hoped to god that she had prepared him enough for school and wondered how Chi Chi would have loved to have been here to see her little scholar take his first steps into the world. That woman was a fiery demoness when it came to her children.

"Stop staring out of the damn window," Vegeta entered the kitchen and walked over to the fridge,
"I have caught you goo-goo eyeing out this window same time everyday all week."

Bulma rolled her eyes, "well hello there to you to your majesty, jealous you aren't the centre of this beautiful princess' world anymore?"

Vegeta twisted the cap off his bottle of water and took a swig as he walked over to stand next to Bulma.

"You wish," he smirked, following her line of vision out to the backyard.

"Damn those two no eared brats," he leaned forward and unlatched the window, shoving his head out into the breeze, "what do you two think you're doing!" he barked, "your training does not end for another 30 minutes, I suggest you get back to work before I come down there and have one on one sessions with both of you!"

The two halflings looked at each other frightened and then quickly scuttled, taking up their fighting stances to spar immediately as Vegeta tucked his head back into the window.

"Vegeta don't yell at them like that! It's the last day of holidays for gods sake, give them a damn break, you've been working them tirelessly for the past 2 months."

"Yes, because if you weren't so soft on those two they'd be true warriors by now," he watched as his partners face started to twist in frustration as the words of her retort were red hot on her lips.

Vegeta smirked. Oh how he loved nothing more than antagonising this woman.

"Hey Goten, do you think we can get Gohan to teach us telepathy?" Trunks asked.

"I don't know Trunks, maybe we should just ask him," he suggested, "why do you wanna learn teleampithy anyway?"

"Its teLEPathy," he corrected, "this is why I'm the brains in this friendship. And the looks. And the strength. Well you get the point."

The two sat down by a tree in the woods to the east of their property and with a small concentrated ball of ki at the end of Trunks index finger he started to carve his initials into the wood.

"Nuh-uh Trunks, I could beat you in a spar any day! Besides, what's telepathy anyway?"

"Come on Goten don't you know anything," he stuck his tongue out in concentration as he paid extra attention to how neat he was making his 'B', "telepathy is the ability to read people's minds."

"Woaaah," Goten sighed, "and my brother can do that? So cool."

"Yeah, imagine how cool it'll be if we could read peoples minds Goten!" finishing up his last intial he turned to face his friend, "we would be able to tell if a bad guy is bluffing in a fight, or if a teacher asks us a question we can read their minds and get it right which will instantly impress everyone! And we could find out where dad hides all his candy!"

Goten instantly perked up at the mention of candy, already 100% committed to learn this cool new technique.

"Mom once told me he had three whole bags in their room somewhere." Trunks said.

"Oh my god Trunks, three whole bags of candy!" Goten jumped up in excitement.

"Yah, if we learn telepathy we'll find his stash for sure," standing up he stretched his legs out.

"Coooooool. Hey speaking of your dad Trunks, don't you think he's going to get mad if he finds out we aren't training?"

"Goten you know my dad has a thing with bugs. Of course he wouldn't come into a place crawling with insects to find us." Trunks ran his finger over the mark he left in the tree, "wanna play tag?"

Without even the slightest hint of warning he moved faster than the eye could see and lightly tapped Goten on the head before running for his life.

"Hey, no fair Trunks!" getting his bearings together Goten jumped to his feet and trailed after that familiar blur of lavender, "fine, here I come!"

I finally had the chance to fix up all the awful paragraphing mistakes in this chapter. What'd you think?
