First of all I would like to thank EveningSongEnchantment for being the first to add my story to her story alerts and otogii for being the first to review. Like a lot of DBZ fans, I too despise the way that Gohan was changed into a nerd and had gotten weaker since the Cell Games. This is now my own version of the Buu Saga. Hope you all enjoy. Please R&R. All comments appreciated

Chapter 2- A Deal Forgotten, A Deal Remembered

Gohan woke up in his bed screaming and crying, which was nothing unusual for the now older saiyan. It had been seven years since the Cell Games had ended and even though Goku had told the previously 11 year-old that it wasn't his fault, he could feel deep in his heart that if he had just defeated Cell when he had the chance, his father would still be alive today.

When he calmed down, Gohan looked carefully at his brother's bed, worried that he had woken everyone up but was pleased to find it empty. He looked at his alarm clock. 7:41am

"Thank goodness, I've woken him enough times with my nightmares," Gohan thought to himself, remembering all too well the many nights he had woken in the middle of the night due to his nightmares, waking up both his brother and his mother. He had even offered to sleep outside away from the house so that he would not disturb them but his mother refused it, seeing as it only happened a few times per month. Luckily, both his brother and his mother were 'early birds' and were already awake a few times during his nightmares.

Gohan took a long shower to wash away the guilty thoughts that he knew he shouldn't have and after getting dressed, decided to head for breakfast. After all, after fighting, food is always the next best thing for a saiyan. He walked into the kitchen to find the usual mountain of food waiting on the table. He could see that his brother already working his way through his half. Goten, 6 ½ years old, was Gohan's younger brother and was born 6 months after the Cell Games ended. He was the son that Goku never got to meet.

Gohan watched his brother attack his pile of food and smiled. He may not be a full grown saiyan, but he sure eats like one. Goten was an exact replica of a child version of Goku. The same hair, the same height, the same childish look on his face, the face that said he didn't have a care in the world.

Gohan was snapped away from his thoughts when he noticed that Goten was starting to eye up his food, having finished his own. Gohan quickly sat down and started to devour his own mountain of food.

He was happily making his way through his morning meal when his mother walked into the room with a blank expression on her face as she was reading the mail. Gohan took no notice of this and went back to his food. Just has he was putting a delicious thick bread roll into his mouth, his mother let out a loud high- pitched shriek that almost made him choke on his food.

"I can't believe it. Gohan, you got in!" squealed his now hyperactive mother.

"Got in where?" asked the thoroughly confused half-saiyan, moving around to read the letter but finding he didn't need to.

As he started to look at the letter, he instantly noticed the unmistakable trademark symbol of Orange Star High School.

"Crap," Gohan muttered as he started to remember the deal.

It was the evening after Trunks had warned Goku about the android attack, and they needed to prepare. He literally begged Chi-Chi to let him train with his father. She eventually gave in, telling him he could train with his dad, but Gohan must go to the high school of her choosing. It seemed that Chi-chi had sent in the application without telling Gohan. Now he was starting to regret the deal, since it was sure to interfere with his training.

Ever since the Cell Games, Gohan had been training vigorously everyday to keep him satisfied. He had surpassed the Super Saiyan level seven years ago and was certain there was a higher level beyond that. However, no matter how much he tried, he could not surpass the level of Ascended Super Saiyan. He even had a monthly sparing match with Vegeta at Capsule Corp in the gravity chamber to test each other. Each time they raised the gravity level but that was forced to stop two years ago when they were training at 700x Earth's normal gravity rate and the entire room caved in and knocked both Gohan and Vegeta out for 3 hours until the gravity chamber shut itself down. So from then Gohan and Vegeta had their sparing matches in the mountains. Gohan was snapped out of his thoughts by Goten asking where Gohan would be going to school.

"Orange Star High School," Chi-Chi sighed, "The best school in the world and right in the middle of Satan city."

"Satan City," Goten repeated looking excited. "Isn't that named after that guy who beat that monster?"

Gohan and Chi-Chi both stiffened at this question, which was luckily un-noticed by the youngest of the Son family. Gohan and Chi-Chi decided that it would be best if Goten didn't know the truth about the Cell games, they just let him believe what everyone had said, that Hercule Satan had beaten Cell 7 years ago. It would cause trouble if Goten knew it was Gohan and told someone. Gohan and Chi-Chi both agreed, before Goten was even born, that they would keep the truth of the Cell Games from him until he was old enough to handle it.

"Yes it is," Chi-Chi answered, seeing Goten's eyes go wide. Gohan instantly changed the topic.

"So when do I start mom?" the now near-adult asked, figuring he would have at least a few weeks to find someway to get out of this.

"25th June so…Tomorrow"

"WHAT?!"

Yes, Gohan is going to school but things do not progress as well as he would like, especially when his father is mentioned. With my exams finishing on Tuesday, I am hoping to have Chapter 3 posted some time next week.
