Goku said "I'll do it, but I can't let anyone see me with books."

"Here, this is called a HC, a handheld computer. Your assignments will be on it and you can use it to communicate with me. You can switch to games if someone's watching." He handed him something resembling a gameboy advance. He explained it briefly and said "You'll report for work at eight o'clock on Monday, three days from now."

Goku asked "But what do I tell my family?"

The man replied "You're a security guard." He handed Goku a card that read International Technology Institute. "The handheld'll give you directions. Be careful with it." Goku nodded, in a daze. He took a minute to process what had been going on for the past fifteen minutes, then put the computer in a pocket inside his gi and went to look for the boys.

They ran into him on the sidewalk. Goten said "Whoa, dad, what're you doing here?"

Goku laughed nervously "Oh, Chichi says it's lunch time. She sent me to get you."

Goten said "Ack, I gotta go, Trunks."

"See you later, Goten." They left.

After dinner…Chichi said "Goku, you should get a job! We're hardly making a living. We wouldn't be making one at all if Bulma wasn't helping us out."

Goku interrupted "I got a job."

Chichi continued on "You've got to do more than train…what was that you said?"

"I got a job."

She looked at him incredulous and in some shock "Where?"

Goku pulled out the card and said "Here." She looked at him. He really hated lying, but he had been keeping his secret for this long. "I'm going to be a security guard."

Chichi was still in shock "Oh…that's great Goku…"She snapped out of it and cried "Good for you, you finally got a job! I knew you could do it!" She kissed him.

Goten said "Eww…mom, dad, not in front of me, 'kay?"

Goku said, with his hand behind his head, embarrassed, "Uh, I'll be back in a couple of hours, 'kay Chi?"

"Are you going to go off and train?"

"Yes?" He answered meekly. He didn't want to get her mad with him again.

"Ok, go on." Goten and Goku looked at her shocked. She said "Well, did you want to or not?"

"Thanks, Chi!" He flew off. He stopped when he found a good place. He really came out here to try out his new toy. He found a good sized tree and sat down on one of its branches. He took out his computer and turned it on. White text ran across a black backdrop.

'Hello, Son Goku. First, an IQ test. Please answer these questions truthfully and to the best of your ability. Your score will be kept confidential.'

Goku opened it. It wasn't really that much of a challenge. He submitted it.

'Very good. Now for some mental training. Your lessons follow this message. Begin.'

Goku yawned. He had been at it for two hours. The machine paused the lessons. 'Press the white button to instantly assimilate data.' He did and finished the rest in an hour. He went back home. His wife pushed him away.

"Go take a bath first, Goku." He sighed, hid his computer, and left to take a quick bath. He came back and fell asleep instantly. When he woke up in the morning he had everything that he had learned last night running through his head: mechanics, algebra, and chemistry. for this story, Goku knows the basic stuff from looking at Gohan's textbooks when no one was looking He pushed it all back and got up and did his usual morning stretches and put on his gi.

He decided to sneak up on his wife in the kitchen after sensing that they were the only ones awake. He snuck downstairs into the kitchen and put his arms around her waist. "Morning, Chi."

She jumped "Goku, you're up early."

He smiled/smirked "You're cooking must be so good this morning that the smell of it woke me up."

She smiled at him and said "Oh, Goku…" He kissed her neck. "You're different this morning. I like it."

Goku smiled. "I'm gonna go train. I'll be back in an hour, ok?" He kissed her again and left. He went further into the woods and trained hard for thirty minutes then took a quick dip under a waterfall to get the dirt off and dried his hands and took his computer from the bush and turned it on.

'Good morning, Son Goku. Do you have time for a quick exam?' Goku selected yes. He took the test and submitted it. 'Thank you.' A green message came up.

'You did well on your exams. Quite up to my expectations. Are you enjoying yourself?'

'I should enjoy myself when I am being blackmailed?'

'You can't fool me Son, you're having fun. Admit it.'
