Konnichiwa! Due to impressive amounts of interest in my story, I have put in extra effort to post new chapters before I start to get bogged down with homework ;_; lol ... Now remember guys, character building takes time so be patient.
Disclaimer: I dont have rights to anything so, I wrote a bad poem.
To own DBZ is a dream of mine.
Most of the characters are really fine.
If only I had a few million dimes.
I could afford better rhymes!
THANK YOU! *crickets chirp* i'll just stick to stories i think....
Without further adieu... CHAPTER 4!!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gohan turned to his long lost friends and grinned widely "Wow! I thought I would never see you guys again! I'm sorry I didn't visit again Lime, I've been really busy since the last time I saw you! You look great!"
While Lime blushed an embarrassed red color and attempted to glare, Pigero reached over her to high five the teenage saiyan.
"You sure have grown tall from such a scrawny little kid, Gohan. Did you find you mom OK after I dropped you off?" Pigero asked
Gohan smiled, remembering his escape from the orphanage enforcers, " Yeah I found my house in about an hour."
Though I didn't actually go in or see my mom for another 6 months after that... he thought guiltily with a small smile.
Chico, who was 4 years old at the time, finally remembered Gohan from his carefree smile.
"Wait! Your Gohan?! The shipwrecked boy with the sword we found when we were at the abandoned house? Really? Oh wow! Hi Gohan!" she bubbled happily while glomping Gohan around the waist.
Gohan instantly blushed a bright red and patted Chico very lightly on the back.
"Nice to see ya too ,Chico! You haven't changed a bit! Your hair is even in the same style!"
Rom watched as his girlfriend hugged Gohan before deciding that he would investigate as well. Walking over to stand in front of him, Rom raised his eyebrows in inspection.
" Hmm…" he mumbled as he leaned forward to stare at the tall saiyans face. Gohans' expression turned shocked as he was crowded by both of them at once.
Rom backed away and smiled, "Yep! That shocked look can only belong to Gohan! He made the same face when I told him we had no food back then! How ya been buddy?" Rom spouted happily while prying a still hyper Chico off of Gohan and patting his old friend on the back.
Gohan, looking a bit nervous and happy to be released from Chicos' enthusiastic hug, smiled again, "Well, I've been home schooled up till now. My mom thought I needed to make some friends my own age so she decided to send me here. I've been here about two weeks. How about you? How did you end up getting chosen for the S.A. program, I mean?"he asked curiously.
Pigero smirked and pulled both Chico and Rom back to their chairs. Leaning back in his own flimsy folding chair and propping his feet up on Gohans' desk casually he began, " Well, 'bout 4 years after I dropped you off, I finally landed a steady job with good pay and I managed to buy a nice house so I decided to go looking for some of the old gang. I found Chico first and she knew where to find Rom and I ended up adopting them both after apologizing for everything. We moved to Limes' village about 4 years ago, because Cell had destroyed our old village."
A few of the kids in class blinked because they had never visited a 'village' before. Cities and towns were the only things they had ever encountered. They seemed to finally realize that gohan was not a loner, but a shy kid who never got to hang out at the movies, or at clubs, or with other kids. The one thing they wondered was, how could people survive out in the wilderness with all those huge dinosaurs and no fast food?
Oblivious to the bewildered kids stares, Pigero continued with his tale. "Chico and Rom had made friends with Lime while attending the little schoolhouse for a few months. After a while Lime got into some trouble for yelling about some fake fire or something."
Chico stuck out her tongue guiltily. Gohan only shook his head with good humor.
"Anyway, her grandfather wanted to homeschool her after that but Chico came up with the idea of homeschooling and all of a sudden I had three kids to home school. Then one of Limes' former classmates came to me with a form for home schooled kids who were interested with the S.A. program. I thought it would be fun, so I filled it out as a joke and here we are." he explained holding out his arms like he had single handedly saved a drowning puppy and deserved the utmost praise.
Lime smiled brightly at Gohan, "Yeah that's right! But we weren't expecting to find you here!"
Erasa, watching on the sidelines along with most of the class, decided to jump into the conversation. "Like, Wow Cutie! I never knew you were so popular!" she practically sang.
Gohan jumped up in surprise and hit his knee so hard on the desk that Pigeros' feet fell off the edge from the force of it. The class had been so unnaturally quiet that he had forgotten about them.
Sharpner decided to add in his two cents as well. "Hey nerd boy. Why didn't you tell us you had such cute girlfriends out in the middle of nowhere?" he asked with a leer.
Videl decided that Sharpner deserved the lump, courtesy of Erasa, he got on his head for that comment.
Stepping in front of the stunned Sharpner, Videl glared menacingly, "Gohan! How did you meet these people? And what do they mean shipwrecked with a sword and finding your mom? Explain. Now!"
Gohan backed away from the angered Videl for the second time in as many days. "Heh heh… well, you see… umm…" Gohan stammered.
Videl eye started to twitch angrily. "Gohan, Explain what these people meant by all that now!" she demanded with her fists clenched at her hips. Gohan continued to back away looking down at the petite girl who thought she could glare the ansers out of him.
Sorry Videl. Your glare is nothing compared to 'Vegeta on a Rampage Glare' or 'Mom's Angry Glare' He thought while holding his hands up defensively in front of himself and trying his best to look completely helpless.
Lime watched as the angry girl advanced slowly on the boy who she knew could easily protect himself but who seemed unable to speak. Standing up Lime pointed an accusing finger at Videl and shouted "Hey you! Who do you think you are to yell at Gohan like that?! And what do you mean by calling us 'those people' huh? We already told you our names to there is no reason to be so rude!"
Videl stopped advancing on Gohan to yell back at Lime when out of nowhere, Gohan grabbed Lime by the upper arms and, effortlessly picking her up, placed her behind himself. He gave her a pleading 'please don't say anything, I'll explain later' look. Lime looked confused but stopped yelling.
Turning to Videl, Gohan said in a calm voice "Please Videl, Calm Down. Lunch will be starting in a few minutes."
His stomach growled with the intensity only saiyans seemed able to produce. The entire class stopped to search for the strance source of the sound but the echo in the classroom faded before anyone could pinpoint it. "Please don't argue. You guys could end up being great friends one day! So lets at least try to be friendly 'kay?"
Videls mind went into overdrive.
Was that noise from his stomach?! That was impressive! Wait, why is he so damn calm? Most people listen to what I say when I yell but he stands there completely calm. Like I don't scare him at all! And how in the hell did a skinny guy like him pick up that girl like she weighed nothing? I will figure you out Son Gohan! she promised herself.
Videl glared again and opened her mouth to tell Gohan to go make friends with a dinosaur and get squished, when she was interrupted by the high pitched beeping of her video watch. The class immediately grew quiet so they could hear the police report. Listening to Videl direct the cops to solve crimes was easily the most exciting thing in thier lives.
Growling softly at the small gizmo, she pushed the red button and said, "What is it chief?"
The man on the watch was a middle aged portly fellow wearing the official Satan City police uniform and a permanent look of worry on his face. "Videl! It's so horrible! You've got to help!"
Videl immediately went into crime fighter mode and tried to calm the old man down. "Chief! Calm down and tell me what's happening!"
The old police chief wiped some sweat off of his forehead with a handkerchief and then said, "Ok. There is a coordinated attack on Satan City going on as we speak. The bank on the west side of town is being robbed, an unknown suspect who seems to have gone insane is holding an orphanage hostage on the east side of town with a flamethrower, and we've also received a bomb threat on a high school within the limits of Satan City that supposedly will be going off at a school sometime in the next hour. We tried to handle it but we just don't have the manpower!" The exhausted looking old man said desperately.
Videl sighed When it rains it pours… "Ok. Chief. What do you want me to handle?" she asked tiredly.
The old chief seemed to be gaining courage as he talked to Videl. "Ok. The Bomber didn't think to make the bomb threat vague so we know your school is the only high school in Satan City. Inform the principal and evacuate the entire school. Then I need you to handle the maniac arsonist at the orphanage. My men can handle the bank robbers for a little while if we can free up the manpower at the orphanage." he timidly ordered.
Videl smiled dimly. "Ok, Chief. I'm on my way."
Turning off her watch she looked up to see the stunned faces of all of her classmates. Trying to remain calm, she turned to Gohan who was glaring off into space.
"Gohan! You heard everything that's going on right?" Gohan looked over at her with a surprisingly fierce glare on his normally cheerful face.
"Yeah I heard." he said in a quiet voice.
Videl raised an eyebrow at his unusual behavior. "Are you Ok? You seem a little angry… Wait! No! I don't have time for this. Go to the principal and tell him 'bout the bomb threat would ya? Make him evacuate the school as fast as possible." she said as she started to sprint down the stairs.
"Ok, Videl. I'll tell him." Gohan promised, visibly trying to force his face into a happier position.
"Great." Videl grumbled as she yanked the door open and started to race down the hallway. This day is turning out great… she thought angrily as she ran towards the schools main exit. Running past two teachers and knocking over a hall monitor, she de-capsulized her jet copter and flew off to the east end of the city to deal with the madman at the orphanage.
