____________________________________________________
~*~*~*~*~*LAST TIME!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The mighty purple dinosaur smashed into Gohan, grasping him in its front claws, and took off into the air. The class looked up and saw an arm and a leg dangling from the flying animals' front claws. The dinosaur stuck its head down to its claws and preceded to taste its victim.
The class screamed in fear, "Gohan's dead!"
"Its gonna eat him!"
"Someone call the police!"
"AHH!! I had a dream like this!!" Through all the chaos and yelling, Videl felt fear rise up inside her.
What an idiot! He sacrificed himself to save the class!
"GOHAN!! DON'T DIE!" she yelled up a the yellow underside of the gliding dinosaur.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.....
The dinosaur reached its tongue out to taste Gohan again. The class watched in horror as Gohan's visible arm and leg thrashed in what could only be pain. Videl screamed again in scared frustration as the dinosaur continued to sniff and lick a laughing Gohan.
Wait…HES LAUGHING!?!?
The entire class froze in their screaming to listen to Gohan's muffled laughter. "Cut it out Icarus!"
The dinosaur now known as Icarus, made a chirping noise in delight licking Gohan's face and arm.
"HAHAHA! I know you missed me, HAHAHA please stop licking me, boy!" In response to that, Icarus licked up Gohans leg.
"HAHAHA!! Your gonna scare my friends… Pfft! HAHAHA!!" Gohan collapsed in another fit of violent laughter as Icarus decided that Gohans stomach was particularly vulnerable.
With his stomach being assaulted, Gohan wiggled a little too fiercely and Icarus lost his grip on Gohan. The class screamed in terror again thinking that instead of Gohan getting eaten he would be a pancake on the hard ground.
Gohan, used to falling down from much greater distances, simply continued to laugh as Icarus swooped down to recapture his friend. The class collectively sighed in relief and watched in awe as Gohan talked the giant purple beast into landing.
"Icarus! Down boy! HAHAHA!! Put me down! HAHA!!" He tried to demand.
The purple reptile came in for a landing with earth shaking force almost exactly where he took off, Gohan still gripped in his large claws. An old man with short, blue, bowl cut, hair wearing a white lab coat and petting a small black cat that was perched on his shoulder strolled out of the bent entrance doors.
"Ah ha! So that's what put the old boy into such a fuss." He said calmly, nodding his head serenely.
Icarus continued to crone and refused to release Gohan from his grip. Gohan hugged Icarus around his large neck, balanced on his free leg, still laughing quietly. The old man strolled up to the large dinosaur and petted him on the forearm. Icarus stretched out his neck and licked the oldtimer's face happily, the little cat switching shoulders while mewing in distress.
"You didn't have to break the door, old boy! I would have let you out to visit Gohan!" He said in a wizened voice, while Gohan detached himself from the large claws encircling his leg.
"Sorry about that, sir." Gohan said once he was free.
"No problem at all m'boy. Did you come to entertain Vegeta?" He asked curiously, receiving a gentle lick on his arm from the affectionate dinosaur.
Gohan was about to answer when Icarus head butted him from the side, knocking him over. "Icarus! Calm down,boy!" He mocked yelled at his large friend. Icarus apologized with a lick up Gohan's arm.
"I'm here with my class for the Successful Adult Program with Bulma." He said pointing over to his still mostly knocked over and stunned classmates.
"Though I'll probably entertain Vegeta sometime today." He added as an afterthought.
"Ah! I see! Well in that case, hello children!" He said turning to the bewildered class. "My name is Dr. Briefs. Welcome to Capsule Corp.!" said happily. The class just mumbled hello and waited for their pulses to return to normal. Videl mind buzzed with questions.
He's alive? He knows THE ?! He's friends with a giant purple dragon?!? she thought along with most of the class.
Dr. Briefs received another affectionate lick up his left arm, while turning to face the bashfully grinning boy next to him. "Gohan , m'boy , could I get you to escort Icarus back inside to the garden? I'll find Bulma and you can rendezvous with your friends in the living room." Dr. Briefs asked.
Gohan eager to escape Videl's shocked suspicious glare and his classmates questions, nodded his head in agreement and hopped up onto Icarus's neck. " No problem. C'mon boy, I'll go get you some berries." Icarus, happy that Gohan wanted to spend time with and feed him, crowed in delight and shot off into the air with another huge gust air. The two of them flew over the roof of the building and around the large complex to find the dragon sized window into the 1st floor garden. The class watched from the ground, because Icarus had knocked them down unintentionally again, with wide eyed stares and dropped jaws. Dr. Briefs stood up dusting off his coat and petting his little cat. He smiled happily and reached inside his coat for his capsule box. Taking out a little blue one, he dropped it and his trusty bike appeared.
"Come along now! I'll take you to the living room. I'll even find Bulma so she can start the tour."
Gesturing for the class to follow him, he mounted his metal steed and rode away humming under his breath. The class stood up one by one, following along numbly, still stunned that the 'nerd boy' had left their company on the back of a dinosaur.
The class walked through the main hallway, past the bent, broken, metal doors already being repaired by some robots, into a large open room with a large TV and multiple couches. A few of the more preppy girls immediately claimed the seats while the guys roamed around looking at the pictures and admiring the TV.
Videl not really in the mood to socialize, leaned against a wall with her arms folded over her stomach. Naturally, Erasa bounced up over to her, "Oh My Gawd! Can you believe what just happened? He's friends with that big dinosaur and the Briefs! Who'd of guessed?" She gushed, always happy to have new gossip material.
Sharpner joined the two girls, "I always knew that nerd boy was keeping secrets." He proclaimed loudly.
Videl palmed her head in her hand shaking her head at Sharpners' idiocy.
"If Gohan doesn't explain what's going on when he gets back, I'm gonna --"
Videls rant was cut off by an explosion that rocked the foundation and rattled the windows.
The whole class screamed in terror. The girls on the couch flung themselves together, crying about the dragon coming to eat them and being to young and beautiful to die. The guys braced themselves against the walls and couches yelling their heads off. Erasa jumped onto Sharpner's arm and screamed in such a high pitch that Videl was afraid for the light bulbs in the immediate area.
After the worst of the tremors subsided, A deep angry voice yelled, "WOMAN!!"
From the opposite direction a feminine angry voice responded "YOU BRUTE! I JUST FIXED THAT!"
The deep male voice could be heard coming closer, "IF YOU MADE IT STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND MY POWER, THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE FIXING IT SO OFTEN NOW WOULD YOU WOMAN?!" The only response was a frustrated, angry, feminine scream.
From opposite ends of the room two doors opened up revealing the two furious people. The short extremely muscular man was wearing a dark blue full body spandex suit that was torn and scorched and white boots and gloves. He had long hair that stood strait up like a black candle flame over a large widows peak.
He stormed up to the woman who was glaring at him like she wanted to rip his hair out.
She had short blue hair cut in the latest fashion. Her blue eyes sparkled angrily in her pretty face and she was wearing a pair of form fitting jeans and a sea foam green blouse covered in a white lab coat.
"IF YOU DIDN'T RUSH MY SCIENTIFIC GENIUS ALL THE TIME, VEGETA, YOUR PRECIOUS GR WOULD BE INDESTRUCTIBLE AND THE WORLD WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER PLACE!"
Vegeta crossed his arms and grunted, "DON'T BLAME YOUR FAILURES ON ME, WOMAN!"
Gohan strolled in to the living room, following the sounds of the screaming argument, and went to stand next to Lime and Chico. Lime looked up at Gohan relieved he was alright ," Are they always like this?" she asked fearfully, as chico to refuge behind his arm.
Gohan grinned, "Only when their son isn't blowing things up but then the yelling is only redirected towards him." He said.
Bulma and Vegeta continued to glare and yell completely ignoring the fact that almost 30 pairs of eyes were watching them go at it. Gohan decided to break up the fight before they started to curse and declare their titles.
"Hey Bulma! Don't forget about us!" He shouted over their fight.
The class jumped up in surprise, Videl was filled with relief and then a burning anger.
How dare he just walk in here like nothing has happened! she thought.
Bulma broke her glare with Vegeta and smiled brightly at Gohan.
Vegeta in an overall bad mood, yelled "BRAT! What do you think you are doing in my home?" Bulma glared at Vegeta and was about to yell at him again, but Gohan beat her to it.
"I'm on a field trip. With my class." He said slowly, as if Vegeta were brain damaged, taunting the older saiyan.
Vegeta growled a bit then said, "You have one hour before I make you pay for you insolence." He said turning around. "If you are late, brat, I will drag you out by your hair." With that he left the room.
A few of the girls whimpered in fear as he stomped past them, Gohan smiled and waved as he left, "Bye Vegeta!"
Bulma glared until her mate left he room then turned a glowing smile towards Gohan.
"I didn't know you were here, hun! How have you been?" she said as she hugged him. "Do you think you could keep him occupied for lets say 6 hours?" she added with a grin.
Gohan smiled ferally, "I've been fine. And sure thing. I'll take him out towards my house! You gonna modify the GR again?" Bulma grinned, "You know it, kiddo! I think if his precious GR shoots bake at him when it blows up it might discourage his bad habit. Anyway, Who are all your friends?" She asked looking down at Lime and Chico who were hiding behind Gohans arms then looking around at the rest of the class in confusion.
"Bulma, you do remember about hosting a class for the Successful Adult Program for a month, right? Well today is the first day of it." He explained.
Bulma blinked twice. "Wait… Today is FRIDAY?! How did that happen? Vegeta's making me lose my mind!" She fumed.
Gohan laughed while Bulma held her head and ranted about idiotic maniacs with obsessive goals. "OK. Everyone gather around. I'll explain everything." She said while walking to the front of the room.
The girls scooted over for the guys who were eager to sit down for the beautiful woman. "Sorry about earlier. That man is my husband, Vegeta. Stay out of his way, Don't hit on me and you'll be fine. Now, I've prepared a building just for you guys. Everyone will have their own room and access to the main building. The main Gym, the Rec room, and the cafeteria are open at all times. Keep in mind that my husband doesn't like company when he eats. He does everything like clockwork and he eats at 4 in the morning and 9 at night. Give him about 2 hours then it should be ok."
Gohan snickered knowing that anyone who tried to 'interfere' with the princes feeding frenzy would be sorry.
A few people glanced back at him confused but Bulma continued speaking and their attentions were captured.
"Since today is Friday, I figured you guys would be fine just hanging out this weekend and we can start the educational portion on Monday. Any questions?" She asked.
Videl walked up, "I've got a few."
Bulma looked at Videl "Sure go ahead."
Videl glanced over at Gohan, who began to feel nervous, "How do you know Gohan? What's a GR? And why did a giant purple dinosaur come out to front doors?" She asked seriously.
Gohan groaned Why is she so curious?! She never stops asking questions! he thought in distress.
The entire class stared at Bulma eager for an explanation.
Bulma glanced between Videl and Gohan, wow. He looks nervous. Chichi's gonna love this.
"Well, miss…" she paused wanting to gather information for Chichi.
"Videl" she said.
"Well, miss Videl, I know Gohan because I was best friends with his dad. We traveled the world together when we were teenagers. When Gohan was born I was one of the first to know. My husband is a martial artist. A GR is a complex piece of machinery that I made custom for his personal gym. He constantly trains and is grumpy without it, that's why I was so mad at him for breaking it again." She said with a frown.
"And I don't know what you mean by giant purple dinosaur." She said looking at Gohan for an explanation.
Gohan fidgeted and put his hand behind his head, "Icarus must have sensed I was here and came out to greet me." He said sheepishly.
"Ah. That explains it. OK. Well, my dad, , likes to rescue animals that don't have a home. Mostly cats, dogs, and dinosaurs. Icarus the dragon has known Gohan most of his life. Gohan rescued him when he was a little baby. Ever since then, Icarus greets Gohan the only way he knows how, whenever he comes around. A few weeks ago he hurt his wing and Gohan brought him here to heal. He liked it so much that he stayed here permanently. Its been a few weeks since Gohan came to visit him so he probably rushed to find him the second he sensed him." She finished logically.
The class nodded in understanding, sneaking glances at Gohan who was still in the Son grin pose. Bulma turned to Videl, "Does that answer you question?"
"Yeah. Thanks." Videl said.
"So, I worked out who will stay where and made a chart for you. Now listen up! Capsule Corp. is made up of 5 buildings. This building is the Central Dome. I put you building at the south corner. The building in the east corner is currently blown up thanks to my husband. Stay away form the wreckage. I'll have it cleaned up by tomorrow morning. The north dome is my families living quarters and my personal guests rooms. Don't go there or Vegeta will chase you out. The building on the west side is the technical lab. That's where everything that is made at Capsule Corp. is researched and constructed as prototypes. Most of the educational tour will be in there. Everybody understand?" Bulma got a few vague nods in response.
"Ok then. Gohan you know where your sleeping and where everything is, so can you go baby sit his highness now, before he blows something else up?" She asked with a frustrated sigh.
Gohan smiled, his saiyan side was dying to go train and release some pent up stress. "Kay! Thanks Bulma. Bye everyone!" Gohan said before turning a corner and running at high speeds toward Vegeta's ki.
The class watched Gohan's hasty retreat wondering how the nerd would distract the angry, martial artist Vegeta.
"I don't know how I'd get anything finished around here without that boy" Bulma said happily. "Lets go get you guys settled in to your mini-apartments." Bulma said, distracting the students from their pondering.
