Welcome back to another chapter of Legend!
Last time on Legend... Crime was running rampant in the fast growing metropolis of Satan City, fortunately for the peaceful citizens two budding heroes have been working hard to make the city safe for all. The Dragon and Videl Satan worked together to halt a bank robbery. Afterwards Videl tried to pull her memories of her encounter with The Dragon to profile him in hopes of unmasking his true identity. Before much could be resolved, Mr. Satan and the mayor made an appearance at Orange Star Middle Academy to award Videl with a certificate of bravery. Although witnessing the affection between Videl and her father seemed to put Gohan in a nostalgic mood. By the end of the day a hostage situation took precedence in which a man was holding his own family at gunpoint. Enraged by the cowardly action The Dragon let the man have a few choice words, but Videl might have noticed that not all these words appeared to be intended for the gunman. Will Gohan be able to continue normal school boy facade while dealing with underlying trauma as well as his friends working towards unmasking his alter ego? Find out on Dragon Ball Legend!
And let me thank the reviewers from the last chapter!
wheathermangohanssj4 - Not to worry, I'm good at multitasking!
Ern Estine 13624 - Thank you!
Penelope - Thanks again for an awesome review! I've been working on pumping out word count rather than focusing on quality of grammar and such, so I'm glad it's worked well so far and I apologize for any errors that will be present. I will definitely strive to do the best job I can though! I'm really glad you're enjoying things so far!
duskrider - I really don't want it to be a major character focus of his by any means, at least not yet, but after as much as he's gone through Gohan should have some demons in his head by now lol.
Dyton - It's difficult trying to hit the balance of keeping Gohan's character in tact that isn't affected by anything while also trying to evolve him into a relatable human. One of the reasons I'm starting it in this age group is to have the freedom to play with that bit of rebellion that comes from coming in to one's own. I liked the award ceremony scene also, it kind of played out a lot of possible scenarios as to why Gohan might have been upset, and definitely the image of the boy who saved the world slinking back unnoticed while the man who stole his credit his cheered right in front of him is a powerful image.
SaintMichael95 - Friends can only get so close before they start noticing things. Keeping secrets should become more and more challenging as time goes on... especially one like that lol.
unpredictable cupcake - Thank you!
superfly - It's so cool to see a ZAT fan again! I miss that story a lot and still have plenty of plans for how it's going to progress next. I think you're right, this story is a lot like practice for the next ZAT segment, but I still want it to stand out. It's been a long time since ZAT went up, thanks a lot for still reading my stories! And I'll try to refrain from having Vegeta snicker from here on out. I think I was hurrying through my word choice when I was going for something like a smirk.
Guest - Thank you!
Hope you all enjoy, now on to the story!
Chapter 4: In the Groove
"All month long people have been asking "Who is The Dragon?", "Where does he come from?", and "How did he come to possess the amazing powers he's demonstrated time and time again?" KSAT is digging deep and talking to the experts to bring you information you want to know. Stay tuned next week for our four part series on 'Flight of The Dragon'."
"Hmm…" Gohan hummed with slight interest as he shut off his TV tuner. He had already made a few stops as The Dragon this morning and was almost to school. Gohan typically landed on the roof of the school or nearby alleyways to change back to his normal clothes. There were people on the roof this morning during his flyby, so he chose a nearby alley instead.
Once he was sure no one was around, Gohan flicked the switch on his belt and was immediately changed into his school clothes. He walked out onto the crowded street in time to see Videl run by with arm full of papers, "Hey Videl!"
"Gohan! Great!" Videl dashed over to him and dropped a few stacks of what she was carrying into his arms, "Follow me, and hurry! This is important!"
"Uhh, okay!" Gohan wasn't given much choice as Videl immediately started running again.
Once on the school grounds Gohan realized Videl had run right past the classroom, "Isn't class going to start soon?"
"Don't worry, we have special permission to miss a few classes," Videl spoke with utmost seriousness.
Videl opened up the door to a room that was never used for much and found Sharp and Erasa already inside, "Thank you guys for agreeing to this meeting."
"Of course!" Erasa smiled happily.
"Right…" Gohan was still confused as to what was going on.
"This is our first meeting as the Official Dragon Unmasking Society of Orange Star Middle," Videl announced.
"Whoop-whoop!" Sharp cheered.
"Official huh?" Gohan asked.
"Yup, the principal gave us an official sanction last night at my dad's request. As long as we keep our grades up we'll be allowed to hold meetings during school time," Videl seemed really excited about this.
"Wow," Gohan had more of a mock enthusiasm about him.
"The local media has started a huge campaign to discover more information on The Dragon, and I want to beat them to it," Videl stated their mission, "My dad agrees that if we're able to find out who The Dragon is before the investigators that it will solidify our reputations in the city."
"So what have we got so far?" Sharp was anxious to get to work.
"We actually have a theory on who The Dragon might be!" Videl pulled a few of the documents she had Gohan holding out.
"We… We do?" Gohan tried not to sound nervous as Videl laid out everything on the table.
"Indeed we do!" Videl unrolled a huge map of the city and started setting overlays on top of it, "From the data Gohan collected on Dragon sightings, it's almost like The Dragon is trying to throw off anyone tracking his movement." The overlays depicted the location of a Dragon sighting along with date and time, "There's a Dragon sighting on the east side of town, and then almost immediately another sighting on the west side of town over twenty miles away. And this will go back and forth on a regular basis. Do you know what this means?"
Gohan looked to Sharp who shrugged, "That he's… really fast?"
"A Harrier Jet isn't that fast," Videl circled the two most dense areas of Dragon sightings, "The more likely scenario is that there are two of them!"
"Oh!" Gohan perked up, "I guess that does make sense."
"Erasa was also able to run the queries on the data I got from city hall," It seemed most of the papers Videl was carrying were city hall records, "Thanks, this was big!"
"All I had to do was write the script and the computer does the rest, no biggie!" Erasa replied modestly.
"Well thanks to this we were able to narrow down a number of families who have moved to Satan City recently who have the kind of money needed to make something like the Dragon suit." Videl threw all the papers but eight off the table, "And out of these families, only one of them has a pair of boys our age." Videl pushed the other papers off the table for dramatic effect, "These two, Wally and Oakley Timbers
"Twins?" Gohan asked curiously.
"Cousins," Videl clarified, "But they're almost the exact same age, and they definitely meet the physical requirements we're looking for, the right height and sports fanatics."
"This would be really easy if it turns out they go to our school here," Sharp looked over their pictures.
Videl shook her head, "Unfortunately not, they both attend the St. Ajora Preparatory Academy, the richest school in the city."
"I've heard a lot of good things about that school, I kinda wondered why you chose to come here instead of there," Erasa thought out loud.
Videl shook her head, "They're just a bunch of whiny rich brats who don't know the meaning of hard work and dedication… for the most part."
"For the most part huh?" Sharp caught on the change of Videl's pitch.
"I have to know for sure…" Videl looked over everything.
Gohan got the feeling she wasn't talking about The Dragon's identity for once, "How do you want to do this?"
"The Timbers are throwing a charity ball this weekend, I'm going to get us some invitations," Videl grinned mischievously.
"I take it we won't be going to dance," Erasa twirled for effect.
"We'll probably have to make a show like we are, but as soon as we get the chance we'll break off and investigate these two and see what we can turn up," Videl pulled out the Satellite view of the Timbers mansion, "The party will most likely be centered in the courtyard here. Once everyone is distracted enough in that then we'll start searching the rest of the house."
Erasa latched onto Gohan's arm, "Well I'm not taking my brother as my date, so I claim Gohan!" Gohan blinked and tried not to blush.
"That's fine, it'll make the best cover story if I take Sharp and need invitations for his sister and her date as well," Videl made a note of the plan.
Sharp turned around to not let the others see his excited face as he whispered to himself, "I get to go on a date with Videl! Yes!"
Videl noticed the strange turn Sharp made, "Yo Sharps, everything alright?"
"Yeah, no problems here," Sharp turned back around and responded in his most serious tone.
"Good," Videl put a few more pictures up, "Also this party has a Swing Era theme, so everyone needs to be in era specific costume."
Gohan hummed while looking at the pictures Videl brought for example.
Erasa noticed Gohan's apprehension as he looked over the pictures, "Do you have any clothes like that Gohan?"
"Not really," Gohan shook his head.
"Not to worry," Erasa giggled, "We can go pick some clothes out together so we match!"
"Outfits that match would make the most sense, most couples will probably be there in coordinated colors," Videl agreed.
"Then it's settled!" Erasa tugged on Gohan's sleeve, "We'll go shopping after school today!"
"Sure," Gohan grinned nervously.
"Sharp and I will also try picking out something suitable for the party then, I'm pretty sure my dad has some old clothes that would work great for this," Videl started thinking about what she owned that would work as well.
Again Sharp turned around, "A date with Videl, and I get to maybe have Mr. Satan's hand-me-downs? This is a dream!"
"Are you sure you're okay Sharps?" Videl wasn't really concerned as much as just annoyed by her friend acting weird.
"Never better!" Sharp looked over the mess of papers on the table, "This is officially our room now right?"
Videl nodded, "Yeah, I have the key and everything."
"Aw'right, then let's organize these a bit better," Sharp picked up the charts and started pinning them up on the boards.
"Oh good idea!" Erasa took the data sheets and pinned them close to the charts they related to.
Gohan looked around the room and ran to the back where there was a supply cabinet.
"What's up Gohan?" Videl called across the room.
"I just wanted to check if…" Gohan fished through a few items, "Yes! Here's some. I've always wanted to do this!" Gohan ran back to the boards at the front with a ball of string and tacked up the string connecting the current theory of documents together.
They all laughed as they stepped back and took a look at their 'conspiracy' board.
Erasa nodded and smiled at what they accomplished, "We need a cool name."
Everyone was quiet for a minute until Erasa snapped her fingers, "Well we are now the official Dragon un-masking society, how about MASK? For Mystery Assessment and Solving… Klub?
Everyone shook their heads and laughed. Videl held her fist out, "Alright then, MASK, move out!"
With a plan about to be put into action the rest of the school day moved at a snail's crawl. By the time Gohan changed out of his PE clothes he found Erasa waiting for him at the front of the school, "Hey!"
Gohan caught up to Erasa and they started walking, "Hi, so where are we going to find Swing clothes?"
"It shouldn't be too hard actually, there are a few stores I have in mind that do costumes and stuff." Erasa excitedly grabbed Gohan's hand and sped up, "Let's go!"
Sharp was following Videl to her house, "You know… this is the first time I've ever come over to your house."
"I know…" Videl stopped short of the gate to her property and put her back up against the wall. She slowly peered around the brick pillar and looked into the yard.
"…Is everything okay?" Sharp asked nervously as Videl started sneaking about.
"You're going to have to keep up and stay quiet!" Videl ordered as she made a stealthy dash into the yard, keeping near the wall. Videl checked the security system once they reached the door, "Good, it's armed, that means dad isn't home."
"That's a good thing?" Sharp asked still feeling confused as to what was going on.
"Of course, do you have any idea what my dad would do to a boy he found inside his house?" Videl opened the door and continued before Sharp could process any of his own imagery, "He'd immediately assume that a boy in the house was dating me and then he'd beat the tar out of said boy just to prove a point."
"Oh…" Sharp couldn't help but picture a furious Mr. Satan kicking his butt and a cold sweat built up on his brow.
"So let's be quick," Videl ran through the house toward one of the storage rooms, "Aha! There it is." Videl walked over to a large armoire, "I'm almost positive I saw a suit from when dad was a kid that would be perfect for this!"
Sharp forgot his fear for a moment as he took a look in the armoire and resumed his hero worshiping, "I get to wear one of Mr. Satan's old outfits…"
"Yeah yeah, you can snuggle up with my dad's clothes after we find them," All of the stored outfits were in zipped bags that Videl started unzipping and checking.
"Alright, then let me help, what are we looking for?" Sharp grabbed a bag and unzipped it as well.
"It's going to be a…" Videl was interrupted by the sound of the door chime indicating someone entered the house.
Both Sharp and Videl stopped breathing as they stared at each other, "Is that who I think it…?"
"SHHH!" Videl bopped Sharp hard.
"Sweetie pie? Are you home?" The deep voice of Hercule called from down the hall.
Videl shoved Sharp in the closet and slammed the door shut, "Yes daddy, I'm just going through some old stuff in here."
Hercule popped his head into the storage room and looked around, "I thought I heard a boy's voice from around here…"
"A boy's voice?" Videl cocked her head to the side, "You might have heard my police scanner going off, I was listening to it until just a minute ago."
"Oh that makes sense," Hercule took a look at the stuff Videl had strewn about the room, "Are you looking for something pumpkin?"
Videl picked up one of the zipper bags, "It's no big deal dad, I saw an ad talking about suits from thirty years ago coming back into style and I could have sworn I saw something like that here once."
Mr. Satan rubbed the stubble on his chin, "I think you're right, in fact it should be in this armoire here."
Videl held a hand out but Mr. Satan immediately swung the door open, "Now where was it… I forgot how packed I left these things."
Videl peeked over her dad's shoulder and sure enough she saw no sign of Sharp on the left or the right side of the armoire. She looked up and noticed his face from behind a box on the top shelf.
"I think this might be part of it," Mr. Satan pulled out a hat box from the bottom, "Wow, it's been awhile since I've gone through any of this stuff, just look at all the dust on this box," he blew the dust off the top of the box and sent a cloud scattering up into the armoire.
Sharp clenched his eyes shut and tried as best he could to stifle his need to sneeze. It was no good, "AH-CHOO!"
"What the?!" Mr. Satan jumped back from the armoire.
Videl pinched her nose, "Sorry dad, you were right, there's so much dust here."
Mr. Satan looked confused, "That didn't sound like it came from you."
"I must have sneezed so hard that it echoed around the room," Videl sniffed for effect, "I am a Satan after all, powerful sneezes are a given."
"You have a point," Hercule scratched his head as he picked the box back up.
Videl tugged on her dad's arm, "Let's look more later, we'll leave all the doors open and let the room air out and maybe it will be better to look through stuff."
"That's not a bad idea, it's time for some afternoon snacks anyway," Hercule allowed himself to led out of the room by his daughter.
Sharp nearly collapsed as the tension of the moment subsided, "Too close…"
Gohan and Erasa entered their third store still looking for something that would fit their tastes, "Oh what do you think of these?" Erasa ran over to where a bunch of bowler hats were on display.
Gohan cocked his head to the side as he looked at them over, "I don't mind."
"You've been saying that about everything," Erasa stuck her tongue out at the boy.
"Sorry, I'm just not all that into fashion. Honestly I hadn't even heard of swing culture until today," Gohan lowered his eyes in apology.
"That's understandable, but don't worry about whether or not it matches the culture, I'll find the stuff that works and you just let me know if you like it," Erasa squeezed Gohan's hand to give him some reassurance.
Gohan warmed up to the idea, "Thanks, that's really cool of you."
"Suspenders!" Erasa almost shouted suddenly.
"Huh?" Gohan followed her gaze to a pair of high pants with a Y suspender.
"Suspenders are definitely big in swing culture, what do you think?" Erasa tried again.
Gohan looked them over for a moment, "I could see myself in them. Though I've never been much of a suspender guy."
"Hmmm…" Erasa thought, "This is a challenge, but I won't give up! In fact…" Erasa looked over at another manikin on display, "Oh… I just had an idea."
"What?" Gohan tried to follow whatever Erasa was looking at, "Will that really work?"
Erasa walked over to the manikin wearing a sailor outfit, "It's a stretch, but with the right vintage we can make it work."
Gohan grinned as he looked it over, "Yeah, I'm definitely game for something like that."
"Great!" Erasa beamed, "Then let's put yours together first." Erasa grabbed the white suit and ushered Gohan into the changing room, "Try this on and let's see how you look."
"Okay…" Gohan did as he was told and put on the sailor's outfit. "I'm not sure this is the right look."
"Let's see!" Erasa called impatiently. Gohan stepped out of the changing room so Erasa could take a look. "Awwww, you're adorable! You look like a school kid from the old cartoons with the ribbon hat and everything!" Erasa practically sqweed as she snapped a few photos with her phone.
Gohan smirked and crossed his arms, "Yeah not the look we're shooting for."
Erasa smiled innocently, "Nooo I guess not." Gohan stepped back into the changing room to take the outfit off. Before he had his normal clothes back on another outfit was thrown over the door, "Try this one."
"K," Gohan pulled down the new outfit and held it up in front of the mirror, "Hey… this is a good one."
"I'm glad you think so!" Erasa grinned to herself.
"I think the shirt might actually be a little too big," Gohan looked it over in the mirror before stepping out, "the sleeves are good but the collar is almost as wide as my shoulders."
"That's the style!" Erasa giggled picturing Gohan with the shirt slipping down one arm, "Just tie it off a bit with the neckerchief, but the opening should have a low cut in the front."
"Got it," Gohan fumbled with it for a moment before stepping out again.
The suit this time was black with stripes on the cuffs, a fake rank on the arms, the tar flap collar had the standard three stripes, and Erasa laughed noticing the neckerchief was tied wrong, "It's supposed to look more like this." Erasa undid the knot and then redid it so it hung down. "There!"
Gohan looked into the mirror again, "Yeah, that does look better!"
Erasa completed his look by dropping a white Dixie cup style hat over his head, "Nice tan by the way Mr. Swimmer, you definitely make this outfit look good."
"Umm… thanks," Gohan blushed more as he turned around to check the suit from all angles, "This costume looks really familiar for some reason…"
"It's almost exactly what the Cracker Jack boy wears," Erasa giggled, "Don't worry, that's perfect for this old time theme party, it wasn't uncommon for sailors to stop at a dance hall while on leave before changing."
"Cool, I'm glad this works then," Gohan went ahead and struck a pose as Erasa snapped another photo.
"All we need are some matching dance shoes and you're finished," Erasa put her phone away as she grabbed a set of clothes she already had pulled aside, "Alright, my turn!"
Gohan waited patiently while Erasa used the changing room. She took a little bit longer to change than he had, but when the door opened Erasa happily marched out, "Attention soldier!"
"Oh wow," Erasa's outfit matched Gohan's with a black sailor shirt, skirt, and tar flap, but her neckerchief was red and her white sailor cap had a rim.
"I'm pretty sure having a hat like this means I'm your superior officer," Erasa teased.
"Aye aye, sir!" Gohan mock saluted.
Erasa leaned against Gohan and pulled out her phone to snap a selfie of the two of them together. The two changed back into their regular clothes and paid for their costumes.
"Even if we don't find The Dragon, I think this weekend will be fun!" Erasa skipped happily.
Gohan couldn't help but smile back, "I think you're right."
The sun was starting to set as Gohan walked Erasa home. Sharp approached from the other direction looking a little frazzled, "Whoa there, are you alright bro?"
Sharp popped his neck and stretched, "I just spent the whole afternoon scrunched into a space behind some boxes on the top shelf of Mr. Satan's closet.
Neither Erasa nor Gohan knew how to take that, "Do we want to know?"
Sharp moaned out, "Videl freaked out that if her dad found a boy in the house that he'd flip and do who knows what, so when he got home early I had to hide until he ate enough to take a nap."
"Did you at least find an outfit for the party?" Sharp nodded to Erasa and held up his backpack which was overly stuffed.
"Well at least that's out of the way," Sharp weakly waved an affirmation and headed into the house. Erasa just shook her head as she watched him trudge, "Thanks again for hanging out this evening Gohan, we'll have to do it again sometime."
"Yeah for sure!" Gohan waved and started walking off.
"Oh, Gohan!" Erasa called before he got too far. Once Gohan turned around she continued, "Be sure and watch a few swing videos on the net to get the idea of how the dances are going to go. I'm about to go do that too and hopefully brush up on my moves."
"Right!" Gohan looked like the notion just clicked in his head, "Dancing, need to know how to dance like that… Alright see ya later!"
Erasa giggled again as she watched Gohan walk away.
Once Gohan was a good bit out of sight from anyone, he flipped the switch on his belt, made a few guest appearances in town, and flew towards Capsule Corp. He landed on the balcony he and his friends normally entered from and knocked. Bulma took just a minute to answer, "That is one sharp looking super hero," Bulma admired her work for a second, "How are you doing today kid?"
Gohan switched his outfits again, "Bulma, I need to learn how to dance!"
Bulma laughed which caused Gohan to look away embarrassed, "Sorry Gohan, I should have figured you'd have a school dance sooner or later."
"Actually…" Gohan started thinking about how he was going to explain this situation, "I'm going to a party with some friends of mine. It's a swing party so I'm supposed to know a bit about swing dancing so we don't look suspicious while we investigate this guy who might be The Dragon."
Bulma stopped laughing and looked Gohan over curiously, "You're trying to figure out who The Dragon is?"
"Well…" Gohan scratched his head, "My friends started this Dragon Unmasking club, and I ended up becoming part of it, so I'm supposed to help them figure out who The Dragon is."
"I suppose that's actually the best way to keep your identity a secret is to work with the people trying to figure the mystery out," Bulma shrugged.
"Yeah, so they think the guy at this party might be The Dragon, so we're going to go and search the place for any clues to figure out if he is or isn't," Gohan explained.
"Well at least we already know you won't find much of anything, so I guess it'd be best to concentrate on the dancing," Bulma waved Gohan over, "Swing dancing you say, that sounds like fun."
Gohan followed close behind, "Thanks Bulma, I was told there were videos on the net that could help."
"Of course, StarTube has everything!" Bulma pulled out a controller and pointed it at the TV. Soon hundreds of results were displayed for "How to Swing Dance".
"Wow," Gohan scrolled through the results.
"I'm going to grab a drink before we get started, you want anything?" Bulma offered.
"I'm good, thanks!" The first video started playing and Gohan paid close attention to what he'd be doing.
Footsteps were coming up the stairs, but they definitely weren't Bulma's, "Are you here to train punk?"
"Hey Vegeta, not today, I'm actually trying to learn how dance like this," Gohan pointed to the screen.
Vegeta watched the video for a moment, "What purpose do these movements serve?"
"Umm…" Gohan tried to think of the best way to explain this to Vegeta, "It's socializing; you dance with your partner for fun… I think."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow but continued to watch the video.
"You should learn how to dance too," Bulma announced her presence from behind Vegeta.
"HA!" Vegeta scoffed, "If it serves no benefit to my combat style then it is little more than pointless."
"But dancing could help you fight better, it teaches you a wider range of motions that you otherwise wouldn't put your body through," In actuality Bulma thought it might be nice to get Vegeta to dance with her.
Vegeta appeared to be considering it, "Very well, our training will begin immediately."
Bulma inwardly cheered.
"Punk, gravity chamber, now!" Both Bulma and Gohan stared blankly at Vegeta.
"Vegeta honey, dancing doesn't really…" Bulma tried to talk Vegeta out of the gravity chamber.
"Nonsense," Vegeta countered immediately, "if it is going to have exceptional physical value then the effects will be amplified through the use of higher gravity."
Bulma sighed then looked over at Gohan and whispered, "Sorry…"
Inside the gravity chamber, Vegeta was already turning the gravity up past six hundred Gs. Bulma appeared on the screen to monitor them, "I've scanned through the videos and I'll be putting up a playlist here. Just try and mimic the movements. Keep in mind that in a real world scenario you'd be doing this with a partner."
"Thanks Bulma," Gohan was still determined to learn as much as he could in the time he had.
"Let us begin," Vegeta assumed the first position that was described on the screen.
The videos first described common poses that were struck during the routines and then outlined the steps between them. Gohan and Vegeta used their energy to balance themselves for lack of a partner to counterweight them.
Gohan was the first to almost slip under the extra weight of the gravity which caused Vegeta to smirk, "Doesn't look like you'll be surpassing me in this field."
"All hail Vegeta, prince of the Lindy Hop," Gohan playfully mocked back.
"You better watch it punk, you're inside my sparring room after all," Gohan didn't say anything else as the training continued.
The session involved many slides, twirls, jumps, and splits. Most of the positions had to be held for a long time, at least long by saiyan standards, and especially at six hundred and fifty times normal gravity.
The high gravity dance session went on for a few hours before both Gohan and Vegeta ended up nearly crawling from the gravity chamber. Gohan was still taking deep breaths, "I… can't believe… how sore that made me…"
Vegeta grinned feeling victorious, "Your… lack of training… and discipline… is what… cost you… the victory… today…"
"Whatever…" Gohan waved it off not really caring about Vegeta's internal competition.
Bulma approached from down the hall, "You two were both looking really good near the end there, at least until you started collapsing from exhaustion."
"Thanks Bulma…" Gohan gasped out in sincere gratitude.
Bulma gave Gohan a thumbs up, "No sweat kid, you're going to be a killer at that dance! Just remember to keep your energy high and that it's okay to feel stupid, just roll with it like nobody's watching."
"I'll try to keep that in mind," Gohan nodded but his stomach grumbled and interrupted the moment, "Now, I'm really starving, need to go find food…" Gohan slowly made his way out of the building, "See you guys soon!"
Bulma couldn't help but chuckle as she watched him go, then she turned to her husband, "So Vegeta, would you care to demonstrate what you learned today?"
A loud rumbling silenced the notion, "I'm with the kid, food first… then maybe some time in the sauna…"
Bulma just shook her head as she watched the man limp away, "For his sake, that kid better not look up to you as a role model."
End Chapter
I've put Gohan through a lot in the time I've been writing stories, but this is the first time I'm making him dance. I've got an idea for how this is going to go and it has me excited that this could actually turn out pretty cool. I hope you'll all come back to check it out!
At the time of this posting NaNoWriMo has officially ended. Sadly I was not able to complete the 50,000 words by the turn of the month. I made it to roughly 41,000 words, but I feel I did pretty good seeing as how I started a week late. So I still have a few chapters in reserve for this story, but I wanted to let you all know that my hope is to continue writing this story now through completion. It's been fun and I have quite a few ideas for where I want this to end up now.
Thank you everyone for reading my story. Please let me know what you think so far, and as always...
'Til next time!
