About four hours
later, the gang were watching TV…
"So, this is the Boy Meets World episode that you
had a dream of when me and Videl broke up?" Gohan asked.
"Yep." Nicholas replied. The others looked at the screen
in amazement.
"Freak show…" They all uttered.
"I'm hungry." David said. "Moving makes me hungry. I
wanna eat."
"Newsflash man, your always hungry." Gohan said
tiredly.
"Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. Or
something like that…" Videl said. David and Gohan both blushed. The phone
started to ring. Everyone looked to Andrea, who was currently filing her nails.
"Why should I get it?" Andrea said.
"Because we did all the hard work. You just moved
everything with your telekinesis." Videl said.
"Yeah!" The boys chorused.
"Oh alright…hello?" Andrea said. She suddenly held
the phone away from her ear as a loud 'HI!!!!' came from the phone.
"IT'S NATALIE!! QUICK PUT HER ON SPEAKER!!" Nicholas
yelled.
"He hasn't been this active in weeks!" David said,
shaking his head. "It's like Nat's some sort of vitamin."
"Well that's what happens when you're whipped."
Gohan laughed. Videl grabbed his ear.
"What was that?!" Videl snapped.
"Hehe, nothing dear." Gohan said. Andrea put the phone
on speaker.
"HI GUYS!!" Natalie yelled. There was a lot
of background music.
"Hey Nat. How are you sweetheart?" Nicholas asked,
grinning like an idiot.
"Fine, but you shouldn't grin like that babe.
Your face might freeze." Natalie laughed.
"How in the bloody hell does she do that?" Videl
muttered.
"You guys
all moved in?"
"Hai!" They all chorused.
"Good! I've got some bad news. I can't come home
'till tomorrow instead of tonight. I'm actually quite lucky. My classes start
the day after."
"Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?" Nicholas asked
frantically.
"Well my flight was delayed. Sorry." Natalie
said.
"It's a good thing your brother registered you in
for school." Gohan commented.
"Whoop (!) That's really lucky, I'll have to get
him back for that."
"That's okay, it's not like your enjoying
yourself…wait a sec. YOU'RE AT A CLUB!!" David suddenly yelled.
"Am not!!"
"Are too."
"AM NOT!!!"
"ARE TOO!!"
"AM NOT TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!!"
"Are too!! I can here Shake Your Bon Bon, Buzz!!"
"That is so stereotypical. It's Bon Jovi…oops.
Hehehe. Well guys, I gots to go! Adios!" She hung up.
"Great. We start school tomorrow and my girl isn't
even here." Nicholas brooded. The phone rang again. Gohan put it on speaker.
"Don't brood!!" Natalie said and hung up the
phone again.
"Freak show…" They all uttered.
"Hey, do you guys here that?" Gohan asked. The
others shook their heads. Suddenly, a group of four cheerleaders burst into the
room yelling and hooting.
"You know, I thought we escaped this when we
graduated high school." Andrea muttered. The cheerleaders got into a formation
and started to chant.
"Fast like a cheetah, quick like a louse, Bradley
Kido is in the house!! WOO!!" The cheerleaders chanted as a tall, lean, blue
haired guy walked in with a pair of shades and a girl on each arm.
"Ah! So these are the new freshmen!! Scribe, take
notes." Bradley ordered as a small boy with glasses appeared at his side.
"There is a blonde wimpy boy, a dark haired brooding boy, a nerdy boy, a brown
haired babe and a dark haired babe. Put a star next to the last one." A vein
was throbbing in the heads of David and Videl. David stood up.
"Who in the blue hell are you?" David asked angrily.
"Change 'wimpy' to 'mouthy'. I am Bradley Kido. The most
popular kid at this university and it is my duty to survey the new kids and
stick them with labels."
"You can't just label us if you don't know us!"
Videl yelled. Bradley walked up to her, took her hand and kissed it.
"You are very beautiful when you are angry
mademoiselle." Bradley winked. Gohan walked up to him.
"Excuse me Kido, but you've got your hands on my
fiancée." Gohan said icily. Bradley's face became overcome with shock but he
quickly got over it.
"Take the star off scribe." Bradley said, as he
looked Gohan in the eye. "See you around campus bud." They took off leaving a
dazed bunch of people.
"That was like something out of the World Wrestling
Federation." Nicholas muttered.
"Let's go to bed." Videl said. "In our new bigger
room. Mwaha."
"Don't rub it in!" The boys groaned.
The next morning…
Gohan was sleeping quite peacefully and snoring
quite loudly. That is, until he heard a…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGG!!!! GOD DAMN SON OF A BITCH!!"
"Huh? Wha' happa'?" Gohan asked sleepily. He looked
over to David who was still sleeping. "That guy could sleep through World War
Three." Gohan shook his head and then got up to see what all the commotion was
about. He walked into the living room/kitchen and saw Nicholas standing there
soaked.
"Don't laugh, not even one chuckle." Nicholas
warned.
"Dude, if you wanted to take a shower you could've
just asked. The bathroom is that way." Gohan smirked. He looked at the door and
there was a note on the door. "There's your morning wake up call, courtesy of
BK."
"You mean Kido did this?!" Nicholas yelled.
"Looks like it. I think it was meant for me." Gohan
said.
"How do you know that?"
"It says it right here. This is meant for the nerdy
boy with the hot girl."
"I see."
"Well, it's time for us to get ready for class
anyway. What have we got?"
"Well,
you me and Andie have Psych 101, but first!" Nicholas said diving into a closet
and pulled out two massive water guns. "Payback!"
"Woah!!
Where did you get those bad boys?"
"First
of all, never say bad boys to me again. Very creepy. These are the water guns
that won me and Videl the water wars of middle school."
"Wow."
"Yeah,
but it turned kinda ugly when we hit Natalie's brother Tony."
FLASHBACK…
"Run
Videl!!" A 12-year-old Nicholas panted.
"I'm
running! But I don't see how he can run that fast! His pants are so big!" A
12-year-old Videl replied.
"I'M
GONNA GET YOU, YOU LITTLE PUNKS!!" Tony yelled as he ran after them.
"Tony!!
It's dinner time!" Tony's father yelled. Tony stopped in his tracks and turned heel.
Nicholas and Videl fell to the ground panting hard. They looked up to see a
12-year-old Natalie with her arms folded smirking.
"You
guys owe me big time." Natalie replied.
END
FLASHBACK…
"It
was when I got my crush on her ironically." Nicholas reminisced as the two boys
finished filling the water guns.
"You
are a very complex man. Let's go kick some upper class butt!" Gohan said
running out of the dorm.
"I
don't think you're allowed to say butt either." Nicholas yelled as he ran after
him.
Later
that day in Psych 101…
"I
remember a student from my previous school asking me 'should you forgive
someone if they've wronged you in the past?'. Now that is a very complex
question. What if they've committed a crime against you or abandoned you? How
can you measure it out? It usually all depends on the situation. But what I can
say is that if the person is family, it is usually best to sort things out
rather than to dismiss the problem away. The easiest way out isn't necessarily
the best way. I'll leave you to think about that, class dismissed." Ms Kinaki
finished as the class left. She flipped her long jet-black hair over her
shoulder and walked out of the class.
"Wow,
she is a really great teacher." Gohan commented.
"I
agree. Some of that stuff she said was really deep, how about you Nick? Nicky?"
Andrea tried to get Nicholas' attention.
"I'm
sorry. Have you ever had that sense of overwhelming doom?" Nicholas asked. As
if on cue, Gohan and Andrea were bombarded with water balloons filled with
different colours of paint. Nicholas had fallen out of harms way as the other
two fell to the ground.
"ARG!"
Andrea yelled at the top of her lungs. Bradley and his whole squad stood above
the three of them.
"That's
what happens to people who don't respect my authoritah." Bradley smirked.
"Oh
really? And since when was it okay for you to steal other people's
catchphrases?" A voice called from the back of them. Everyone turned around to
see Natalie standing there with Videl and David. Bradley became enraged and
walked towards them.
"Listen
you, I don't know who you are and quite frankly I don't have time for you."
Bradley seethed. "So go away."
"Wow!
I can't believe he talked to us like that. Doesn't he know who we are?" Videl
asked mockingly.
"Who
are you?" Bradley asked.
"Her
friends." David said indicating Natalie. "So are they."
"So?
I can beat her as well." Bradley replied smugly.
"Oh
my! I feel so frightened! Maybe I should tell my big brothers Ricky and Tony
that you're picking on their baby sister, Bradley." Natalie said sarcastically.
All of Bradley's crew gasped in fear as Bradley swallowed hard.
"Y-y-y-y-y-you
mean you are related to Los Hermanos Cevallos?" Bradley quavered.
"Yes.
That's about right." Natalie replied.
"And
my brother Paulie." David smirked.
"Paulie
the undertaker?!" Bradley squeaked.
"That's
right." David smiled evilly.
"Your
brothers can't protect you forever you know. I can still try to make your life
here a living hell." Bradley said as he walked away.
"We'll
see about that." Natalie said walking over to her paint soaked friends and
Nicholas. "You guys owe me big time." Nicholas swooped her into his
arms and kissed her.
"Eh?"
Andrea asked.
"It's
a long story…" Gohan replied. "We'd better get cleaned up."
"Why?
You look like all the colours of the rainbow!" David laughed as Gohan and
Andrea narrowed their eyes at him.
After
they were cleaned up…
"Their
brothers used to attend this school. Tony and Paul were best friends. But all
three of them had their own reputations." Videl explained. Gohan and Andrea
nodded.
"But
what he mean when he said 'Los Hermanos Cevallos'?" Andrea asked.
"My
grandfather was wanted for armed robbery in Mexico when he was married to my
grandmother. They skipped the country and came here, changing their name from
Cevallos to Campbell. He said something about owing it all to a can of soup…"
Natalie replied.
"Oh!"
Gohan said. "Well then I don't have to worry about getting in a fight with that
guy. Your brothers' rep will keep him away. He is so annoying."
"He
was a little wimp before. No one took him seriously." David laughed. "I got the
munchies, anyone wanna go to the corner store?"
"I'll
go." Nicholas said as they both exited. They walked to the front of the
building and ran into Ms Kinaki. David stood there in front of her with his
eyes wide and his mouth open.
"Hello
Mr Summers!" Ms Kinaki greeted.
"Hey
Ms K. This slacked jawed yokel is my friend David…" Nicholas said as David
covered his mouth and laughed nervously.
"Just
David, you know, like Cher or Madonna." David nodded. "We gotta go! Buh bye!"
He dragged Nicholas by the arm and ran for at least ¼ of a mile before
stopping.
"Do
you want to tell me what that was about or do I have to phone a friend?"
Nicholas demanded.
"You
mean to tell me you don't know who that is?!" David asked frantically.
"My
psychology teacher?" Nicholas asked. David bopped him on the head. "OW! What
was that for?!"
"For
being a smart alec!! I can't believe you don't know who that is!" David hissed.
Nicholas went wide-eyed in realisation.
"No
way." Nicholas said in awe.
"Way!"
David replied.
"What
are we gonna tell…?"
"Nothing."
"What
are you, new? You know what she's like when we keep something from her."
"But
you don't what it's like when you mention that woman. Remember, you two weren't
as close back then. Just trust me on this one." David said.
"Fine,
I'll trust you. But I don't have to like it." Nicholas sighed.
To be continued…
Dun,
