A/N: Welcome back to the story. I just want to thank you all for reading in general. I just want to say there was a reference to the TV show in the last chapter. The room number to Gohan's class is 200, which is also the first episode Gohan is seen in High School. Honestly, not a big deal, just wanted to mention it. Trunks will return in this chapter. I'll also try and get more in-depth with Sharpener and Erasa's relationship with Videl. I haven't decided if Erasa and Sharpener will be a couple.
One last thing, there are only so many Vegetables to make puns with for Saiyan names. I'll try to make them different from human names, or just re-use some like I did with Nappa. I am unsure, you know.
"Who Are We?"
"Saiyans"
"Who are WE!?"
"SAIYANS!"
"And we look for what!"
"Trouble!"
"We look for WHAT!?"
"TROUBLE!"
Chapter 4: Videl Learns to Fly. Trouble Arrives.
Gohan and Videl walked into the room laughing, closer than peas and carrots. Sharpener just huffed, "Why is Videl hanging around that Nerd? Sure he's a Saiyan, but his hair isn't nearly as nice as mine." Sharpener said as Erasa smiled, "Awww lay off him, I think it's good that they're friends again. Besides, he's much cuter than you." Erasa giggled as Videl and Gohan took their seats. "So babe, when are you going to stop playing and ditch Brains there." Sharpener asked, putting his arm around Videl who quickly elbowed him in the stomach. "His name is Gohan, and I'm not 'playing'." Videl responded sending an innocent smile to the young Saiyan who smiled back.
Gohan suddenly took a serious look at the door. In, on crutches, limped Trunks with cast on one leg, he looked up at Gohan and glared. "Hello everyone that isn't Gohan." Trunks said resentfully as he limped up the stairs to his seat. "Hello to you too Trunks." Gohan said sarcastically receiving another glare. The two made eye contact and stared each other down. Finally Trunks began laughing hard, "That was good one Gohan." he said still laughing harder as Gohan joined in. Sharpener just stared in awe, "He kicked your ass and all you have to say is 'That was a good one' What the Hell!?" Sharpener asked receiving a glare from Trunks, as Gohan snickered.
"I can't hold a grudge, even the Saiyan Prince needs to be knocked down a peg every once in awhile. That's why Gohan is my most trusted adviser, he isn't afraid to do it, and he does a good job of it." Trunks explained as the two Saiyans high fived and made up. "I think it's good for you, Life is too short to hold a grudge." Erasa said optimistically as Trunks looked at her and smiled. "Well cutie, as long as you think so, I agree." Trunks winked at the blonde haired girl.
Erasa simply blushed and looked at Videl who rolled her eyes. Trunks winked at Gohan as he just shook his head in disgust, mouthing discouraging words. Suddenly a brown haired girl walked in and gave the teacher a note, gaining Trunks' full attention. After she left, class returned to normal. At Lunch, Gohan and Videl were talking about his family and their training together while Sharpener, Trunks and Erasa just listened. "I have a little brother too Babe, he has to be at least twice as cute as this Goten kid." Sharpener said resentfully. "Sharpener, I've met Penn, I can't even describe him to be half as cute as Goten." Erasa giggled out as Trunks kept staring at the brunette that delivered a note earlier.
'Ugh, this is hard to do, but he seems too distracted.' Gohan thought as Trunks watched the girl eat, not so gracefully. '*Trunks! This is extremely difficult, so i'll keep it short. What are you staring at!?*' Gohan said telepathically to his friend. "What'd you say Gohan?" Videl asked Gohan as everyone but Trunks looked at her confused. "Gohan hasn't said anything in awhile?" Erasa said matter-of-factually confusing Videl and frustrating Gohan. 'Too many loud minds! Tried not to embarrass him but...' Gohan thought as he looked at Trunks, "Trunks!? What or who are you staring at!?" Gohan said loudly as Trunks just pointed at the girl.
Trunks sat up and looked right at Gohan, still pointing at the girl, "That beautiful Girl. You guys know her?" he asked Videl, Sharpener, and Erasa. All three friends looked at her and stared intently trying to recognize her. "No, actually, I know every hot chick in school, she either transferred recently or she's new." Sharpener said getting back to eating his lunch. Erasa agreed with Sharpener but Videl just sighed quietly, "Yeah, she just transferred, that's my-my cousin." Videl said as Trunks got right in her face, "What's her name?!" Trunks asked as if it were life and death situation.
Videl just pushed him away and walked over to the brunette girl. As soon as she was done talking to her cousin they both walked over, the brunette more cheerful than Videl. "Everyone, this is my cousin Lime, Lime Lao." Videl introduced as Lime scanned the faces at the table, only recognizing one due to constant appearances on TV with his royal parents. "Hello Prince Trunks, I didn't know you went to this school." she said happily.
Videl simply sighed, "What's wrong Videl? You don't seem happy about this." Gohan whispered as Videl looked over, "Lime knew I've known you and Trunks since the last Tournament, she has always wanted to meet Trunks since she knew about him, she got so annoying about it. This could possibly not end well." Videl whispered as she looked at the two now flirting with each other. A couple hours later, P.E. started.
In P.E. Coach Nappa had started the required baseball unit, despite his eagerness to get to the fighting unit. "Alright meat, get on with it, and remember, I don't care who wins or loses." Nappa said as the two teams took to the field. Sharpener took the Pitcher mound as Videl went up to Bat. "Hope you can hit this ball as well as you can hit me in the stomach." Sharpener said aloud as Videl smirked, "Don't have to worry about that, I'll just pretend they're YOUR balls." Videl said violently as Sharpener threw the ball at top speed towards Videl.
Videl hit the ball but just nicked it and went right into the catcher's facemask. "Oops, sorry Jon." Videl said apologetically and looked back at Sharpener, "C'mon Sharpener, you throw like a little kid." Videl said tauntingly. "Is that why you couldn't hit it?" Sharpener retorted with a smirk, throwing another fastball toward her. She swung just a little late and got a foul ball. "Videl, breathe in, breathe out, stay calm!" Gohan said helping out his best friend. Videl nodded and breathed deeply to calm down. When Sharpener threw his fast ball one more time and Videl swung hard and sent the ball hard into the outfield.
Gohan walked out and to bat and winked at Sharpener, "Can you do me a favor and actually throw the ball harder than my little brother?" Gohan taunted as Sharpener glared, "Only if you can hit harder than my little brother can!" Sharpener said glad to have gotten the last word in before throwing it as hard as he could towards Gohan's head. Gohan quickly dodged and hit the ball as far as possible no saiyans could catch it either. Gohan walked all around the diamond and back to home and walked up to Sharpener. "I held up my part of the bargain, why didn't you? My brother would've hit my face and knock my block off." Gohan laughed as the bell rung.
As Gohan and Videl walked away from school Videl asked an important question, "Why have you been so, well so aggressively competitive towards Sharpener?" she asked as Gohan chuckled, "I have to get back at him for being a dick at the Tournament for one. There's another reason, but that's for me to find out. We got to get going if we want time to train. You're getting there pretty quickly." Gohan said as he picked her up bridal style and flew towards the valley near his village.
In the valley Gohan and Videl sat peacefully. . . well Gohan was, Videl became continually frustrated as she attempted to lift herself into the sky using her own ki. "Videl, I keep telling you, you need to keep calm to channel your ki." Gohan stated as he sat cross-legged in the sky. "Trust me, i'm trying to keep calm but it doesn't help with you TAUNTING ME LIKE THAT!" Videl shouted as Gohan laughed and landed on the ground. "Sorry, I'll just sit on the ground." Gohan said as he began meditating quietly. 'We've been at this for days, I can't believe how patient he's been with me.' Videl thought as she smiled and lifted off the ground a couple inches without realizing it.
Gohan would've noticed it as well if he wasn't peacefully meditating, although he could feel a surge in her Ki as she floated. Meanwhile she was still trying to get off the ground, when she looked down she screamed loudly, not even breaking Gohan's concentration, "It took you long enough Videl." Gohan said knowing she just learned she was already floating several feet above the ground. "How could you tell! I'm the one floating and I didn't even know!" Videl shouted directly at Gohan who got up and walked over. "Because you were RELAXED, great concept huh?" Gohan asked jokingly. "Yeah, whatever, can we go back to your house now? I'm starved." Videl said as Gohan's stomach rumbled and woke up Piccolo from the top of the lookout.
Gohan and Videl just laughed, "Yeah I guess we should, but since you were able to float for a little, after supper we'll come back and finish up here, if you can get 10 feet above the ground then we're in business for the heavy training." Gohan said as he picked up Videl and flew them the short distance to the house on top of Saiyagoh Village. There, Chi-chi was already finished with supper and just had Goku, Gohan and Goten sit patiently untill the large platters of mountainous food hit the table. The second they did the mountains began to descend into plateaus, then hills, then anthills, until finally all the food was gone and Videl and Chi-chi managed to get enough to fill them up.
Just as Gohan and Videl were about to leave the house again a knock at the door came. Videl answered it being the closest to the door and in the door way stood an angry looking father, "Young Lady, I told you be home by 6 tonight!" Mr. Satan exclaimed as Chi-Chi came to the door. "Hello Mr. Satan, please come in if you're going to lecture her, it's a million degrees out there." Chi-chi said cheerfully trying to deflect some of his anger. "Oh, er-well thank you." he said politely as he stepped inside and walked over to the couch.
When he got to the couch, just as he was about to sit down he saw a certain spiky haired man. "Hello Mark! Long time no see!" Goku said with an overly cheerful expression. Instead of taking a seat he just dove at Goku and began thanking the man that saved him years ago. When he stood up he turned and looked at Videl, "I guess if you are training under Goku or his son, who I'm sure is just as well trained, then it's forgivable. But be home half an hour before bedtime." Hercule ordered as he sat at the table with Goku and began talking with him.
Meanwhile, Gohan and Videl ran out the door and headed to their training ground. "That was close, I thought my dad would forbid me from coming here anymore! Thank god for your dad." Videl laughed out as they reached the training ground, "Yeah, well don't worry about that, just relax! Got to get you 10 feet in the air." Gohan said with a smile as they began focusing. Minutes turned into hours, the two stood there, Gohan smiling like an idiot as he kept eye contact with Videl, who had her eyes closed to keep her focus on the inside.
Suddenly she opened her eyes finding it hard to breathe as Gohan just smiled, "Congratulations, but I suggest you don't look down." Gohan said as Videl did the exact opposite and looked straight down. The minute she did she passed out and began falling as Gohan grabbed her up bridal style. "Maybe I should've told her not to look up, I should've known she wouldn't listen." He laughed as he dropped below the clouds once again and brought her back to his house and laid her down on the couch.
He walked into the kitchen to find Mr. Satan and Goku still talking like old friends. "Hey Dad, Mr. Deville, or should I say Satan?" Gohan said jokingly as Hercule just stared at him, "It's Deville in this house, I didn't even come up with Satan until I met your father. But the public knows me as Mr. Satan." Hercule responded with a chuckle. "Hey Goku, I know I'm old, but is it still possible to learn those Ki trick thingies you Saiyans use?" Hercule asked curiously as Goku just smiled, "Anyone can learn, it's easier to teach a child, but I'm sure wouldn't accept if I wanted something easy to do." Goku shook his hand as Gohan went to check on Videl.
There on the couch was the sleeping form of his best friend, sure Trunks was his best guy friend, but Videl, 'There's just something special about her.' He thought as he lightly knocked the hair out of her eyes. She stirred in her sleep and was smiling quite widely as she dreamed of the time she's spent with her friend and his brother.
Suddenly she woke up and looked around. "Daddy? what happened, why'd we leave?" Videl asked curiously as Hercule had a serious look on his face, "Goku and his son got called into something, it sounded serious so I told them I'd bring you home. Gohan said he'd continue training you when he returned." Hercule said remembering keywords. 'Who's Cooler? Why is he coming towards Earth? An invasion force with Saiyans on the planet? Not a smart idea in my opinion.' Hercule thought as he saw a ship fly overhead.
Videl just looked worried, "Dad, is Gohan going to be alright?" Videl asked as several more ships began passing by, each one landing near Mt. Paozu, "I'm sure he'll be fine pumpkin, he is a Super Saiyan, just like his father." Hercule said noticing all her attention directed behind them. "It can't hurt to make sure though, I suppose." Hercule said as he turned the ship around, gaining a smile and a determined nod from his daughter. They flew as fast as they could back and found the village on fire as several fights were going on, the Saiyans seemed to have the upper hand, but the ships continued to arrive.
Cliffhanger Bitches That is Chapter 4!
I would like to apologize for not updating sooner, went to see family in Missouri. My Uncle is a dentist and had my teeth checked out, 4 cavities but only 3 fillings because my enamel was coming off too easily. Too risky, also my Uncle's back hurt like hell so he didn't feel like doing anymore fillings. I have to brush with Prescription strength toothpaste for awhile to re-calcify my teeth and then it should reverse itself, chances are I may need a root canal but hey, I'm young, I can stand that. TMI...
Anyway, I'll keep up with the stories as much as possible, if you keep reading and reviewing as much as possible. Cooler is coming, and well with Videl going to watch, only one thing can really happen now, couldn't it? Cooler can't be the only one on that ship though, right? who knows? I do, I know.
Next Chapter: Cooler's (better late than never) Revenge feat. Friezan Army (since Frieza was so obsessed with naming planets after himself, I would think he'd name his people after himself.) also feat. Frieza?! (Dun Dun Duuuuun!)
