AN: I finally got a review for the last chapter! So here's a new one.

Disclaimer: Do I really need one?


Bulma Briefs sat in 2nd period not much in the mood for whatever was being taught. Not because it was only Tuesday -although that definitely was added in- but because she was being blackmailed. Blackmailed to apparently find this Cell guy and challenge him to free the school of his reign.

"I knew we should have moved into East City and not West," Bulma groaned as her head fell on the table. Chichi picked up on Bulma's complaint and poked her in the ribs.

"Come now, it's not so bad right?"

Suddenly the door swung open and Hercule stuck his head inside the classroom.

"Cell is back and he's about to fight someone! Everybody come check this out!" Hercule urged everyone which caused every student to fly out of their seats and run into the hallway. Goku also stood up from his chair but was seated back down by Chichi.

"Forget what I said, things just got a lot worse," Chichi said biting her lip. "With Cell here this entire school will be thrown into hell."

"Let me go Chi! I've gotta see if Cell is tormenting someone," Goku said struggling to get up. Chichi looked down at him sternly,

"So you can go pick a fight and die? I don't think so buster. You're gonna stay right there."

"Maybe you should listen to her Goku," Krillin said looking just as worried as Chichi. "Staying here will be safer. I'll take my chances fighting King Cold school bullies."

"I think we'd all be safer if somebody hadn't chickened out and properly restore order in this place," Chichi snapped aiming a glare at Bulma. Bulma glared back at the brunette and stood up so they were face to face.

"I am not a chicken! I'll have you know that I do in fact plan to "challenge" him, "defeat" him, and "put him in his place", so don't pester me!" Bulma screamed, air quoting all the quoted words. Goku stared at Bulma with confusion.

"What were you doing with your fingers?" he asked. Ignoring Goku's question, both Chichi and Krillin began to grin.

"So there's hope after all!" Krillin cheered. Chichi wrapped her arms around Bulma pulling her into a tight embrace.

"Thanks so much for taking one for the team Bulma! We've hardly known you for even a week and yet you're willing to do this for us," Chichi said almost on the brink of tears from so much happiness. Bulma tried to break free but there was no use, she had to wait for Chichi to release her.

"You're welcome but it's not like I'm doing this willingly. Thanks to a certain flame haired saiyan," Bulma mumbled so none could hear her.

"Now we can start a club guys! If she beats Cell then who's stopping us!" Krillin excitedly said which made Goku lick his lips and rub his stomach.

"A cooking club where we cook all sorts of stuff. Like pizza, tacos, pizza, cheese steaks, and pizza."

"Yes you guys do need a club. There's no way I'm letting any of you near my house again," Bulma said thinking about what happened yesterday. The bell finally rang signaling that 2nd period was over. In the end, Krillin, Goku, Chichi and Bulma were the only ones left in the class. Android 16 was there as well and he pulled Bulma to the side before she could leave.

"What you are doing for this school is good. Cell has disturbed the birds I like to watch from outside the window. Even the little squirrels I see in the trees and other little critters. You must put a stop to this."

With that being said, 16 left out leaving a very confused Bulma. Goku tapped her shoulder,

"What was 16 talking about to you?"

"I don't know. Something about birds," Bulma said with a shrug as she went to lunch.


-+-+ At lunch +-+-

Things were different this time around. Unlike the usual lunch fight, nobody was fighting each other. There was only one guy and he went by the name of Cell. He stood in the center of the lunch room on top of a pile of beaten up students. Vegeta and the rest of the saiyans were now gathered around Cell, glaring up at him.

"So you're back from your 2 week vacation?" Vegeta growled at him. The other saiyans tried not to show it but they were actually all shitting their pants at that very moment. Cell folded his arms and looked down at Vegeta with a bored look plastered over his face.

"You could say I missed ruling this place. What's school without the presence of my ultimate flawlessness?" He gloated. Vegeta grimaced, Cell's cockiness had even exceeded his own. Now that's saying something!

"Well I hate to break it to you Cell but you've got competition," Vegeta said almost feeling a smile coming onto his face. Cell's smirk dropped and he only wore a frown.

"Come again? I have competition you say?"

"That's right. She's the new girl and I say her knowledge far surpasses yours."

The entire lunch room gasped. Those who were hiding came out to listen more closely. Nappa tapped Vegeta's shoulder with a shaky finger and whispered,

"You're talking about that blue haired girl aren't you? But she's so weak Vegeta!"

"Shut the hell up Nappa and let me handle this!" Vegeta snapped. Cell folded his arms and scanned the lunch room looking for a face he haven't seen yet.

"Where might this competitor be?"

It was this moment that Goku, Chichi, Krillin and Bulma walked into the lunch room. All eyes were on Vegeta as he out stretched a finger and pointed to Bulma.

"She's right there, Bulma Briefs."

There was an even bigger gasp. Bulma realized the attention that was on her and then her eyes locked onto Cell. His eyes were cut sharply at her as he sized her up. This made Bulma gulp and she quickly turned around.

"I've gotta go do that thing that's...that's...anywhere but here," she stammered trying to escape. Bulma bumped into what felt like steel but looking up she only saw 18.

"You're not cowering out of this one now get in there," 18 said pushing Bulma hard enough so that she stopped near Cell. Krillin faced 18, fear clearly written across his face.

"How could you 18! You just sent Bulma to her death sentence!" Krillin cried.

Bulma stood in front of Cell, her legs shaking and palms sweaty. His intimidating glare made her forget about the fact that everyone else was staring at her. Cell picked up on her nervousness and scoffed.

"You call this competition? She looks like a brain less fool, no different than the rest. There is no one who could possibly out smart me for I am nothing but perfection!" Cell boasted. He finished off with a taunting laugh. This hit a sensitive nerve for Bulma Briefs. She stomped up the pile of beaten up students until she was close up to Cell and poked him in the chest.

"You do not call the Bulma Briefs a brain less fool! You over grown, arrogant, green bug man!"

Triple gasp! Bulma was insulting Cell and he hadn't killed her yet! Oh and she wasn't done yet,

"Do you have any idea who you're dealing with? I'm a world class genius! I learned anything you know now when I was in kindergarten! So put that ego away and just try me!"

Dead silence. It was just so quiet in the lunch room. There were teachers among the crowds of students who wished they could shut everyone up like this. Cell was still shocked that anyone had the audacity to say such words to him like that. Shock quickly passed over and was replaced by pure rage.

"Is that so?" Cell hissed through clenched teeth. Bulma stood her ground and nodded her head up and down.

"Honestly, it's simply impossible that even a genius such as yourself could ever match up to what I am," Cell proudly stated. He dismissed her outrageous claims and decided to get rid of her. Before he could, Vegeta sighed heavily and now stood in front of Bulma.

"There is a way to settle this. You and the girl here will face each other off in a battle of wits of some kind. A battle not of bronze but brains," Vegeta announced. "Then we will know who truly the intellectual superior of the two is."

Goku smiled from the side lines and ran up to get between Bulma and Vegeta.

"That means you're Ok with this Bulma?" he asked. Bulma nodded and Goku raised a fist into the air.

"Alright! Cell is going down!"

Cell laughed at Goku for even thinking this would be much of a competition. Looking at Bulma he could tell she was still as nervous as a frightened puppy.

"Fine, I'll participate in this battle of wits contest. Only because I find the entire idea completely humorous," Cell said still laughing.

"Don't you underestimate Bulma! You have no clue what you're going up against!" Chichi screamed from the sidelines. Krillin had to cover her mouth up from yelling anymore obscenities. But he couldn't stop a certain blonde haired female from voicing out her comments as well.

"The screaming harpy is right. I hope Bulma kicks your ass!" 18 yelled at him from across the lunch room. Launch who was in the lunch room sneezed and pulled a gun out towards everyone.

"If Bulma doesn't win then I'm going to shoot up the nearest group of people I see!" Launch threatened raising a gun to a poor unsuspecting Yamcha's head. Yamcha began to sweat and clapped his hands together as if praying.

"Please make Bulma win, please make Bulma win."

Cell rubbed the bottom of his chin and had one eyebrow raised,
"So, you have others who choose to blindly follow you and doubt my ultimate greatness? This interests me. I want a date and time."

"Give the girl a month's time from now. So that's roughly 4 weeks. It starts the minute each of you have arrived at school. There is a catch to all of this if one of you loses of course," Vegeta explained.

"Care to inform me?"

"Bulma wins then you leave the school and she takes over your role. If you win then the girl will leave and you can just keep doing what you're doing."

"Yeah I don't think so. How about if I win - which I will - then you will all pledge your allegiance to me where you will all worship every aspect of my total perfectness! Do we have a deal?"

Bulma shrugged her shoulders. There wasn't much to lose in her mind. She could finally be free of this crazy school and wouldn't be around for Cell's absolute dictatorship. Except she couldn't lose because she was Bulma Briefs damn it! With confidence flowing through her she extended her hand where Cell reached out to shake it.

"Hell yeah you've got a deal."

When the hand shake was broken, Cell jumped down from the pile of stacked up students and stood near the crowd.

"I'll take my leave now and I won't be returning until the day of the competition. Bulma Briefs, I expect you to be at your best although your best isn't even close to mine," Cell said snapping his fingers. The crowd he stood in front of made a clear path for him to walk through. Bulma stared blankly at Cell's retreating form.

"So...this is really happening."

The one who served lunched jumped over the counter and landed next to Bulma. He had blonde combed hair and sunglasses as he held a microphone that came out of nowhere.

"You heard it folks! Bulma Briefs and Cell will be facing off in the ultimate showdown that determines the very fate of this school! Will she succeed or will she fail miserably letting everyone down, a complete loss of hope and utter humiliation?" The announcer guy broadcasted to the school. Chatter began to pick up in the lunch room again. Chichi stormed up to the guy and knocked him out.

"You're not helping!" She screamed at him. Chichi looked up to see Bulma's face twisted with worry. She smiled warmly at Bulma,

"Hey cheer up, it'll be Ok. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think anyone is going to pick with you. You're like our last weapon."

"Wow you're right. I feel a lot better not," Bulma sarcastically said.

"I believe in Bulma like how I believe in fairies and Santa clause. There's no way Cell is smarter than her," Goku reassured. This did make her smile.

"Thanks Goku. Except I'm pretty sure fairies and Santa Clause don't ex-" Bulma was jabbed in the ribs by Chichi. She cupped a hand over her mouth to whisper in Bulma's ear,

"It's best not to tell him. We couldn't get him to stop crying for days when he found out about the tooth fairy." Bulma laughed but regained herself to give Chichi a wink. Android 18 spotted Vegeta and walked up to him where the two boldly stood across from each other.

"So this competition was all your idea," She asked with a bored tone. Vegeta crossed his arms watching her brother and 16 come over to stand behind her.

"Yes it was all me," Vegeta dryly answered. "Aside from the girl and Cell, I might be the next smartest person." 18 smirked and rested her hands on her hips.

"For a monkey it wasn't such a bad idea. But for your sake you better hope that girl has what it takes."

"Come on 18. I grow tired of being in the presence of these saiyans," 17 urged her. The androids left the lunchroom but of course 18 stuck around to blow a kiss to Krillin who fainted. Piccolo entered the lunchroom stepping onto Krillin's body and pointed to Vegeta.

"Are you out of your minds!? You saiyans are trouble enough but now you've started a fight with Cell!" Piccolo yelled at them, veins bulging on his forehead. Krillin groaned on the ground with Piccolo still standing on top of him.

"Sir...uh...might I say that it's not really a fight and you're kind of standing on me," Krillin said moaning. Piccolo didn't even acknowledge him,

"Like I said, messing with Cell is just foolish!"

Vegeta grunted and stood in the usual Vegeta pose.

"Oh please, even you teachers are afraid of him. For once we're taking a stand to be rid of him for good."

"And we teachers have a right to be afraid. Let's recall what happened to Pilaf when Cell wasn't even here."

"I agree with Vegeta Mr Piccolo. This is our only chance so please let us do it!" Goku pleaded to the upset Namekian. Chichi stood by Goku's side to show her support along with Tien, Launch, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, the saiyans and even Maron. Piccolo warily eyed all the students.

"All of you agree to this? Don't you hate each other?"

They did stare at each other before moving apart and nodded.

"But that's not the point! We can really do this!" Goku said having complete confidence in his new friend.

"You'll have to answer to the principal then," Piccolo said stepping off of Krillin only for Kami to enter the lunchroom and stand on top of Krillin. He looked to Bulma and raised the staff in his hand up in the air. Everyone anticipated what the great wise and noble principal had to say.

"I shall allow it!" Kami announced causing everyone to cheer. Again when the students get too excited, someone threw a lunch table against the wall. Kami gave Bulma a thumbs up and then left the lunch room.

"Well that was a short visit," Bulma commented. Krillin stood up from the floor and raised his hands into the air,

"Free at last!"

"Can we eat now?" Goku said rubbing his stomach.


-+-+ At science +-+-

At last it was last period. Ever since the confrontation with Cell, Bulma received many stares in the hallways and people whispered about her. In the end, she absolutely loved it! All of the attention was giving her an enormous ego boost and despite the whole Cell situation, she felt pretty good.

"It's so great to be me," Bulma chimed sitting in her seat. She took out her notebook and looked up to board to look for a lesson plan only to find that there wasn't one.

"What's going on? Did Korin finally give up on the class?" Bulma asked. Chichi eyed the girl from the corner of her eyes suspiciously.

"You're joking right? Or did no one tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

Her question was answered when Korin stepped into the class, placed his staff on top of his desk and pulled out a piece of chalk. In big letters he wrote on the board, midterm. Bulma gasped,

"I didn't know we would have a test today! Especially a midterm! At least I'm smart enough to ace this without studying."

Goku scratched the top of his head,

"I never studied before. Chichi tries but I just keep getting distracted so there's no way I'll pass."

Krillin shook his head at his friend,

"People like us don't stand a chance buddy. Bulma is probably the only one who does."

"Hey I've been studying my ass off! At least I won't totally fail," Chichi said with a yawn. "In fact I stayed up all night cramming as much science stuff into my head. I'm surprised I even lasted this long without totally crashi-" Chichi's head hit the desk and she entered a deep sleep. Krillin poked her with his pencil.

"Yeah she's out cold."

"Thank god. At least we won't have to deal with Kakarot's harpy this period," Vegeta said with a sigh of relief.

"You're right," 18 said cutting in. "Now we have 4 annoying saiyans."

Vegeta bawled up a fist and waved it at her.

"What was that bitch?"

"Settle down all of you," Korin said to the class. Everyone actually did quiet down this time.

"Wow you're really quiet for once...anyways you have 5 minutes before the test starts. I'm going to get the test packets from the copier room so try not to kill each other or make a mess."

Korin stepped out of the class and 17 raised his feet on the desk and placed his hands on the back of his head.

"If only I had taken school a little more seriously. Failing this test drops grades down dramatically making it impossible to pass this marking period."

"For some it could be impossible to pass the school year," 16 added.

Maron shrieked and pulled out a textbook.

"This isn't fair! Not all of us can be like her," she said glaring Bulma who was laughing egotistically.

"I can't help it if I'm just that smart. No one compares to my brilliance," Bulma said sticking her tongue out at the other blue haired girl.

"With an attitude like that I say she'd make a perfect match for Vegeta," Turles said to Nappa who began to snicker along with him. Vegeta heard the comment and growled.

"Turles you dropped a pencil," Vegeta said pointing to the floor. Turles bent over to look for a pencil and Vegeta stood up to give him a good kick in the ass.

"Now listen up! Unless your name is Bulma Briefs you're pretty much screwed. We've only got one other option." Vegeta walked over to Bulma and pulled out a picture to show to her. Bulma's eyes widened seeing the photo of herself he was using as blackmail. Bulma glared at him and Vegeta smirked that he got the reaction out of her he wanted.

"You know what to do. Help us out and you won't be only doing me a favor but your pathetic little friends too." This time when all eyes were on Bulma she didn't feel an ego boost. There was just peer pressure.

"You want me to cheat? Why should I be the one who works hard and have you mooch off of it!?" Bulma demanded.

"Because I'm the one holding the embarrassing picture." He made a good point. Krillin tugged on her sleeve and gave Bulma a pleading look.

"Do it for us Bulma? You have no idea how much worse summer school is," Krillin said thinking about the other torturous summer school he went to where the first day of school resulted in two black eyes, a broken arm, and a demolished class room. Bulma sighed heavily and rubbed her temples.

"Whatever I'll do it. I already have to compete with Cell so this is trivial in comparison."

Everyone gave a big whoop and high fived each other. Once again Bulma became their last hope. Goku faced Bulma with concern.

"I won't use you like everyone else. If you get caught cheating for everyone then you could fail too so be careful," Goku warned her.

"I agree, cheating is wrong" said a blue haired Launch. She was sitting across the room when the discussion started. The worst happened when she sneezed and everyone ducked under their tables.

"Only if I'm not involved! You will help me or answer to my micro sub-machine gun."

Korin came back into the class carrying a stack of papers and slammed the door after him. The noise caused Chichi to wake back up from her sleep, a puddle of drool on the table.

"Wha- what time is it? Is the war over?" Chichi yelled darting her eyes around the room. Everyone laughed and Korin cleared his throat to gain their attention.

"Yeah I'm going to give you your tests now. During the test there will be no talking, texting, listening to music or cheating. Now space out all your seats so that you're sitting separately and only two per table."

Bulma moved her table over and saw that Vegeta stood over hers.

"What are you doing?" she asked. Vegeta winked at her and sat in his seat next to her. 18 and 17 sat at the table behind them, Krillin and Launch sat to their right, Chichi and Goku were to the left, and Yamcha sat down in front. Bulma narrowed her eyes to one in front of her.

"Yamcha, what makes you think I'm helping you out? You flooded my house in toilet water!" Bulma half yelled at him, loud enough for him to hear but not too loud for Korin to hear. Yamcha turned around and smiled sheepishly at her.

"I'm really sorry about that Bulma. You should know that I didn't mean to do it."

"Just like Maron didn't mean to steal from my parents!"

Maron pouted, sitting in the seat next to Yamcha.

"But in the end I didn't mean to steal from you!"

"You're a whore and a thief, what's new" 18 said with a sly grin. Korin gave the last paper to 18 where he sighed.

"Please enough of your bickering and teenage melodrama. Just start your tests and try not to fail too hard. But remember, no cheating."

Bulma looked at the first page and saw the difficulty was set on easy. She would definitely breeze through this. It was multiple choice too. She began to answer questions and within one minute made it to question ten. Goku scratched the side of his head as he stared down his test. 'I have no idea what any of these answers are' Goku admitted in his mind. His eyes wandered over to Bulma's table but he quickly looked away. 'No, I can't cheat. I'm going to finish this test all on my own!' Goku began to fiercely bubble in answers. Chichi was shocked to see Goku so focused on his work for once. She smiled and decided to give it her best as well. Vegeta who sat next to Bulma had no problem copying from her paper. All he had to do was peek at her from the corner of his eyes and copy away. Korin looked up from the book he was reading and his gaze fell on Vegeta.

"Eyes on your own paper, saiyan! No cheating!" Korin said startling Vegeta. Vegeta stared back at Korin and pretended to look innocent.

"Who's cheating?"

Vegeta decided to purposely answer a few questions wrong so it wouldn't look like he copied directly from Bulma. 18 and 17 sat in the back examining their papers, not knowing a single answer.

"Time to get answers from the blue haired girl," 17 said placing the test back on the table. 18 took out a straw and placed a strip of paper in her mouth. 17 eyed 18 as he watched her chew whatever it was in her mouth.

"Is that gum? I thought you said you ran out of strips last period."

"Observe," she said putting the straw to her mouth. She took a deep breath and skewered a spit ball into Bulma's hair. Bulma froze, feeling something hit the back of her head. She didn't turn around at first but then it happened again. Bulma turned her head a little to the side to see 18 wave at her.

"What's the answer to number 1?" 18 whispered.

Bulma rolled her eyes.

"You didn't even answer number 1 yet? What have you been doing?" she whispered back.

"Just answer her," 17 urged.

"It's B" Bulma quietly answered and turned back around before Korin could notice. Everyone around quickly filled in the answer.

"Psst," Krillin said to Bulma. He held up three fingers to show he wanted the answer to number 3. Bulma yawned and stretched her arms out, her hands in the air cupped like the letter C. Krillin caught on and scribbled the answer in.

"Hey girl," Launch whispered as she leaned to the side for Bulma to hear her better. "Give me a pencil with the answers to numbers 5-10 written on it. That cat won't suspect a thing."

"Launch, Bulma, are you two cheating over there?" Korin said looking at both girls like an angry parent. Bulma was nervously grinning as she placed the pencil in Launch's hands.

"No sir, just giving her this pencil. It's a regular old pencil like any other and certainly doesn't have anything to do with cheating. At all."

"Hmm...ok then," Korin said opening a laptop, plugging in headphones and began looking up dating sites for single cats. Bulma sat in her seat and was now on the other page of the test packet.

"Smooth," Vegeta said to her. "Korin is distracted so now is the time to just give everyone answers."

Bulma was practically steaming. This was a huge risk the others wanted her to take knowing Korin could simply look up at any moment.

"The answers for questions 11-20 is A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, B."

Vegeta stood up from his seat clearly not believing that.

"You're lying!"

"Am not!"

"Prove it!"

"I wish I could but you're probably too stupid to even comprehend an explanation!"

Korin took off his headphones and stared angrily at the two yelling teens.

"What do you two think you're doing?" he asked.

"Nothing," Vegeta calmly replied sitting back in his seat. "The girl was humming a Justin Bieber song and on behalf of everyone I told her to shut the hell up."

Korin didn't look angry anymore but he did put his headphones and laptop away. This time he was going to go back to reading a book and listening closely to his class. Bulma gulped and was thankful that Vegeta had a knack for thinking up quick lies. The other saiyans smirked peeping out exactly what was going on and they too wanted some "help". Turles looked up to see if Korin was watching and tossed his pencil across the room so that it landed near Bulma.

"Whoops! How clumsy of me," Turles said rising from his seat. "My pencil seems to have fallen way over there. Guess I gotta go retrieve it." He walked over to Bulma's table where he stood staring at Bulma's paper. He slowly took his time bending down to get the pencil, never taking his eyes off of Bulma's test and then stood up straight.

"Since I'm here I mind as well just stretch a bit," Turles said cracking his neck side to side and rolling his shoulders back. Bulma shook her head side to side. 'Could he be any more obvious?' Bulma thought. After a minute Turles returned to his seat and sat staring off into space.

"What's up with you?" Nappa asked.

"I forgot everything I saw on her paper," Turles said as he banged his head on the table. 17 was getting frustrated by the strategy Bulma was using. Their whispering to each other could now be heard which would guarantee them an F. So he quickly bawled up a piece of paper while hiding his test behind his back. He made his way to the trash can but when he passed Bulma's table, dropped his paper in front of her and gave her a wink. Bulma bubbled in as many questions as possible before he got back to retrieve his paper and go back to his desk. Sitting down, 17 gave his sister a smug smile.

"And that's how you properly cheat."

Bulma had to admit that it was incredibly risky what 17 just did but Korin didn't even look up from his book. A series of hard knocks on a table pulled Bulma from her thoughts. 'Hold on...that's morse code! But who the hell here knows morse code?' Bulma thought looking around the class. She saw Tien knocking back on the table and was shocked. He was asking for the answers to number 23 and 24. Luckily for him she took up morse code studying in 3rd grade and gave him the answers back. Chiaotzu was shocked by Tien too.

"Tien, I thought you were better than that," Chiaotzu whispered to his friend.

"If those saiyans and androids get to cheat then we should too. Who knew those morse code lessons would pay off though."

It was 18 who came up with another idea. She ripped out a piece of paper, wrote on it, and then bawled it up.

"Thought of another way to get answers sis?" 17 asked.

18 chucked the paper ball so that it landed in front of Bulma. She opened the paper and red what it said on the inside:

Write down as many answers on this paper as possible. This is what's called a cheat sheet.

Bulma did as it said and tossed it back to 18. 17 looked at his sister who now had more answers bubbled in than him.

"Is that a cheat sheet? Let me see," He said while snatching it from her.

"Give it back 17. I wasn't done yet," 18 said reaching for the paper. 17 tried to keep it from her but then 18 smacked it out of his hand. The paper landed on the floor near Krillin who picked it up and smiled brightly.

"Holy crap! There's like 40 answers on this thing!" Krillin said under his breath. He felt a pistol press up against his skull and started to sweat.

"Just hand over the paper nicely and there won't be a problem," Launch hissed. She smiled upon seeing Krillin slide the paper over to her. Maron turned around in her seat and saw Launch copying from a small sheet a paper.

"That must be a cheat sheet. I gotta have it!" she said to herself. Maron pulled out a pepper shaker she deviously eyed Launch.

"Good thing I carry my lucky pepper shaker."

"Why do you even have that on you?" Yamcha asked.

"It's called pepper spray, duh. I'm irresistible you know and I need to defend myself from the creeps who want me." Maron quickly threw pepper at Launch which caused her to sneeze and revert back to her blue haired self.

"Huh? What's going on? Am I taking a test?" Launch asked with confusion written over her face. Maron got up from her seat pretending to throw something in the trash.

"Is that trash on your desk? Here let me get that for you," Maron said reaching out and grabbing the cheat sheet. She pretended to throw something away and then returned to her seat. Yamcha looked in her lap and couldn't believe she managed to obtain it. A knock was suddenly heard on the door. Korin looked up to Kami standing at the entrance. Korin could tell by the look on his face that whatever it was had to been urgent.

"I'm going to step out for a couple minutes everyone. This doesn't mean go crazy time or fighting time so just keep taking your tests because I could come back in at any moment."

Once Korin had left the classroom Vegeta yelled to everyone,

"Korin is gone! Hurry up and get all the answers you can!"

Every single person except for Chichi, Launch and Goku surrounded Bulma's table. Chichi sat at her table looking around at everyone who demanded answers. She had no idea what they were doing.

"Get all the answers? Don't tell me you're all cheating off of Bulma," Chichi said planting her hands on her hips. "Krillin too?"

Krillin just shrugged his shoulders,

"Hey man, it's either this or fail."

"This truly is shameless," she said crossing her arms. Hercule stood in front of the door to keep watch. He heard Korin humming in the hallway and it was getting closer to the door. That could only mean one thing.

"Go back to your seats everyone! Mr Korin is coming back!" Hercule yelled, alarming everyone as he sprinted to his seat. The entire class scattered until they were all seated in their spots with pencils in their hands to look like they were working. 18 slipped a piece of paper on top of Krillin's desk in the mist of all this so her brother wouldn't notice. Krillin returned to his seat and was about to unfold the paper when Korin stepped in and saw all his students focused on their tests. He smiled at them, sat in his chair and sighed contently. Nobody was fighting and there was silence. With a cheat sheet still being passed around everyone managed to finish their tests on time right before the bell rang. Chichi glared at both Bulma and Krillin.

"I can't believe you two and the rest of those idiots were cheating. It's not fair to well educated people like me who stay up all night studying for a test without so much as a good night's slee-" Chichi passed out again except Goku was there to catch her. He smiled and slung her over his shoulder.

"I agree with her Bulma. Cheating is wrong. But for now we have to worry about getting home."

"Don't worry guys, I'll give you all a ride again," Bulma said pulling out the capsule to her pink convertible Lamborghini limo. Yamcha and Maron came over to the group smiling to Bulma.

"Oh yeah! We get another ride," Maron said excitedly. Bulma stared daggers at her annoying clone. She was still pissed about yesterday.

"Like hell you are! Go take your prissy ass somewhere else Maron. That goes the same for you too Yamcha!" Bulma kept her eyes closed and arms folded as Maron and Yamcha babbled about getting beat up. Maron could tell that Bulma just wasn't having it today. She sighed in defeat and walked away grabbing Yamcha's arm.

"Who does she think she is anyways? It's called forgive and forget," Maron muttered as she and Yamcha turned a corner. They were still able to hear what the others were talking about making it easy to eavesdrop.

"I don't know Maron. I ruined her phone, dress, the entire date, flooded her house, you stole from her, and we've probably just been annoying them countless other times as well. Just give up on trying to be her friend to get her money," Yamcha tiredly said.

"Fine. But I need to get back at one other person before putting our scheming days behind us."

Yamcha and Maron followed the group of four going completely unnoticed until they reached the back doors. Krillin made sure to grab the note that was on his desk and read it to himself. Whatever it was on the piece of paper made Krillin blush and Goku was the first to notice.

"Krillin, why is your face so red? Did you fart again or something? I was wondering what that smell was," Goku said sniffing the air.

"No man! It's just, well, 18 gave me this note and, uh," before he could even finish, the paper was snatched away by Goku and both he and Bulma read it together. The two laughed and said simultaneously,

"Krillin has a date with 18!"

Chichi woke up from her short nap from hearing the news then realized what was being said. 18 was in the gang with the androids, is known for being cold and ruthless, has a brother who kills without mercy, and wants to go over to krillin's house for a special date.

"When did she and Krillin even hook up!?" Chichi shouted. Goku smiled and patted Krillin on the back a little too hard which made the smaller man fall over.

"Way to go Krillin! I knew she liked you when you said she kissed you."

"She kissed you!?" Bulma and Chichi said at the same time. Krillin looked around in all directions to make sure nobody was around.

"Not so loud guys. I don't want anyone knowing about us because word will get out and her brother will kill me!" Krillin said imagining an angry 17 throwing him down a flight of stairs.

"I'm just happy to hear that you're over that trashy old girl friend of yours. She was super annoying," Chichi said referring to Maron. The others agreed. Meanwhile Yamcha was holding Maron back from running up to the group and getting herself knocked out again. Goku opened the back doors and took a peek out.

"Seems clear enough to go."

"There you are. I've been looking around for you girl," a voice called out to the group. Bulma folded her arms mimicking the other man's pose.

"If it isn't you Mr troll hair doll man," Bulma defiantly said to a now angry Vegeta.

"Do not call me that!" He snapped at her. Goku stood protectively in front of his friends.

"Here to cause trouble Vegeta?"

"Quite the opposite actually. I'm here to make sure the girl there doesn't kill herself going out after school. She's an important asset to defeating Cell and we need her alive."

"She doesn't need you guarding her. I can protect everyone just fine on my own."

"Kakarot, I already had to save her from the Ginyu force, you were all almost mugged by those losers dancing to old music from 2011, Launch almost blew her up once at P.E, you got chased around in that pink monstrosity you call a vehicle and a gas station explosion was reported yesterday. I think you all know who caused it. So tell me who's good at protecting what again."

"Well we're not dead yet right?"

The fact was that they probably did need a few more fighters on their side. Bulma had to really think about this. Goku and Vegeta could end up killing each other. Then again, Vegeta was like the leader of a very notorious gang. He also lived right next door and wasn't much of talker anyways.

"You annoy the hell out of me but...at least you're not as bad as Maron or Yamcha."

Bulma stepped outside and released her car from its capsule and watched as Vegeta glare at the others. "At least I hope you're not."
