Hello~

I didn't mean to write this but my hand slipped! Actually, the first draft of ASD was supposed to feature Gohan's POV a lot more but it sort of got dropped with the rewrite. Actually, this is one of those original moments that got dropped, an outtake of sorts. But I thought it was too great to cut completely so I rewrote a few things and here we are.

Anyway, I'll probably update this every once in a while. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, Gohan was receiving a thorough verbal lashing from his mother while simultaneously being fed copious amounts of steak, dumplings, miso soup, and rice.

"But mom, my friend wouldn't let me go. She clung to me when Videl went off to the fire," Gohan protested between bites, while Goten watched with a cheerful smile tugging at his mouth. Apparently he thought it was funny when their mother went on a tirade against someone other than him.

"And then Sailor Mini Moon had to warn me about a new threat. I had to check out the building because people could die if it's true. But then I ran into another friend and she got hit by a car so I carried her home."

"I can understand that," Chi-Chi yelled as she tipped her frying pan and let a large portion of stir fry fall on Gohan's plate. "But sent you to school to learn, not play games in an arcade and then become a superhero. WHAT ABOUT YOUR HOMEWORK?"

"It's finished," Gohan hurriedly explained.

"Yeah! I heard him last night-you stayed up really late, Gohan," Goten looked at him in a kind of wonder. Gohan winced and shot his brother a betrayed look, while Chi-Chi's face turned red.

"YOU'RE DRAGGING YOUR BROTHER INTO THIS?" She dropped more pancakes on Goten's plate, who gobbled them up in seconds. "I won't stand for this Gohan! You need to take your studies seriously, not wasting your time at arcades and...and talking to GIRLS."

It went on for some length until Goten let out a large yawn that almost overtook his small body. Gohan couldn't help but smile, even when his mother jabbed a finger in the direction of his room and declared it to be bed time. Goten reluctantly dragged himself up the stairs and Gohan was half out of his seat when his school bag slammed down on the table in front of him.

"Oh, no, mister," Chi-Chi said menacingly as she began clearing the plates around him. "You have studying to do."

Not one to push certain subjects with his mother, Gohan obediently pulled out his books and notebooks. What a weird day, he thought, shaking his head. First the fire, then Sailor Mini Moon, her warning...Rini being hit by that car…

And yet, with all the weird that had happened, Rini's smile, and her assurance that he was someone with interesting secrets, made him the most panicked.
