BTW, in the last chapter, Gohan was dropping a hint to Satan to fix the issue he created. Satan will soon be known as the man who HELPED defeat Cell, since Gohan's going to make him say it was a team effort to avoid serious complications from the false hero's lies. And I'm gonna make a situation in the future that will force Gohan's dual identity into the open so that I can make him top dog and put Vegeta in his place. *maniacal laughter*
Also note that my other Gh/Vi fanfics are going to be rewritten. The issue was I couldn't get the right balance of Original Gohan and Confident Gohan until I wrote this fanfic. Now that I've found that balance, those stories will be easier to write.

Gohan sleepily entered his homeroom class the next day. Chichi had heard from Bulma that Gohan called her to have an excuse to leave class to save a crime fighting classmate. The Frying Pan Of Doom had a huge dent in it by the time Gohan was able to explain himself, but what happened next was what worried him. He let it slip that this classmate was a girl and his mom was going on about grandbabies well into the night. The demi-Saiyan groaned and laid his head on his desk.
"What's wrong with you, Brains?" Sharpener asked, showing signs of sleep deprivation as well.
"My mother's insane... I mention I have a friend who's a girl and she jumps straight to the dating conclusion, followed by the crazed notion of grandchildren," Gohan grumbled. "Just because she met my dad and married him on the same day doesn't mean I'm going to do the same."
Sharpener looked at Gohan with shock. "Yeah... She sounds insane alright..."
"Who's insane?" Erasa asked, bouncing up to her seat. Obviously her worries about Videl had been settled last night.
"Don't ask... Too tired to explain again..."

Gohan was dozing in the middle of Algebra class, which he could ace if he took the final for it right then, when he suddenly snapped wide awake. He turned to the door, thinking, 'What the hell?' before the door opened and Videl walked in on a pair of crutches. He was immediately out of his seat and hurried over to her.
"What are you doing here? You should be resting!" he exclaimed worriedly. Videl faced him haughtily but the look of genuine concern on his face and the memory of just how different and sincere he was melted her anger immediately. She found herself looking away in shame of her immediate reaction
"I'd rather be doing something productive to take my mind off what happened than laying in bed dwelling on it," she admitted, her voice surprisingly gentle. Gohan sighed before turning to their two blond friends up in the seats.
"Erasa, could you move over into Videl's seat? I'm going to take your seat and Videl's going to take mine, okay?" he said, his tone kind but his words firm. Erasa nodded and slid into the seat next to her. Gohan turned back to Videl. "Let me carry your bag up so you're balanced better."
"Um, okay," Videl said, surprised at how much of a gentleman her new friend was being. 'And they say chivalry is dead... Obviously Gohan didn't get the memo,' Videl thought, amused. She handed over her bag and her dark-haired friend slung it over his shoulder.
"After you," he said, intending on walking behind her in case she lost her balance. The class was stunned by Gohan's manners and Videl's acceptance of his help. Videl accepted help from no one because she didn't trust anyone to help her. And yet this was Gohan second day here, and Videl was acting... KIND to him. The class watched in stunned silence as Videl slowly made her way up the steps to her seat, Gohan right behind her. Her crutch slipped once, but Gohan caught her before she could fall and helped her regain her balance. Their classmates' surprise turned to shock when Videl blushed slightly from Gohan's save. 'Who is this guy?' was to general thought of the entire classroom.
