Secrets Out
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ
Hey everyone! Sorry for the wait. This chapter is a bit short, but don't worry, it's detailed enough.
With my last week of my first quarter of college and finals coming up next week, I will be trying my best to put up new stuff. So, if my next few chapters seem shorter than the usual short, I apologize in advance.
Enjoy.
March 9th
Gohan was nervous, today was the big announcement day. Vegeta and Goku had told the others that it would at one, in the middle of their fourth class of the day. Videl was just as nervous; she had that odd feeling in her stomach, just wanting the global announcement to come now. Walking through the halls, with their friends both human and Saiyan, her nerves were on edge. Gohan sensed this and gripped her hand, gently thumbing her hand in his, which began to calm her.
"I'm just as nervous." Gohan whispered to her gently. The annoyances had finally began to back off, which allowed Gohan to calm and return to his normal happy self, but today he was just as on edge as Videl was, and they were both calming each other. It was easy to see the other Saiyans were just as nervous as they were, and honestly, Sharpner, Erasa, Lisa and Haru couldn't blame them, hell, they were nervous for them. Their first class just seemed to drag on, and they were hardly paying attention anyway.
By the time gym was done, Gohan and Videl were unable to hold still for long periods of time without feeling as though their heart was going to just pop through their chest or crawl up their throat. Gohan however was hardly showing signs of nervousness other than moving too much, Videl was showing it more.
"Videl, you really need to calm down." Erasa said.
"Easier said than done. I mean, even Zila and Bazil are nervous." Videl said, looking to the other Saiyan females who were also nervous.
"Just try to relax." Erasa said.
"Erasa, you try relaxing when the existence of your species is revealed worldwide, and when Vegeta will call those who have been 'hiding among the humans' to report to where the broadcast is, which will be in Central City." Videl hissed. Gohan placed his hand on her shoulder and began to rub in small circles. He knew that rubbing her shoulders did tend to relax her faster.
Flash back
Videl was unable to enjoy herself at the park that she and the Saiyans had gone to, thoughts of her father's rage and yelling running through her head. They had gotten in another one of their stupid arguments over the same subject, Gohan. She sat under a tree, a distance away from the others, lost in her stress and angry thoughts.
Gohan noticed this, seeing her scowling was something he never liked, he never liked seeing her unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Gohan said as he walked over to her. When she didn't answer, he knew she was in seriously deep concentration. He plopped himself right next to her and just sat there, watching as thoughts brought themselves to her deep blue eyes. While he had every opportune moment to just read her thoughts and know exactly what was wrong, he sometimes found it more interesting to actually watcher her facial expressions change and figure it out from there. When Videl finally noticed him sitting there, glancing at her from the corner of his obsidian eyes laden with concern and puzzlement she flushed.
"How long have you been sitting there?" Videl asked, trying to hide her blushing face. This was another reason Gohan enjoyed trying to figure out her emotions by watching her facial expressions, he thought it was hysterical, if only for a moment, when she realized she had gotten too caught up in her thoughts.
"A few minutes I guess. What's on your mind?" Gohan asked.
"My father and our stupid argument." Videl said, instantly tensing up and becoming restless again. Gohan absentmindedly placed his hand on her shoulder and began to gently rub her shoulder with his thumb. He noticed she began to calm, her ki was flowing better and less choppy. Gohan quickly placed Videl on the grass between his legs and started to rub her shoulders. Videl let out a content coo. After what seemed like hours, which only turned out to be ten minutes, Gohan stopped and wrapped his arms around her small waist. He could hear her heartbeat drumming steadily.
"How did you know that calms me down?" Videl asked as she leaned back into him, her head resting below his chin.
"Lucky guess." Gohan chuckled quietly.
End Flash back
Gohan smiled at the memory of February 14th, it probably wasn't what they had been wanting for god only knows how long, but it was still nice. Videl cooed quietly as Gohan rubbed her shoulders.
"Have I mentioned that I love you?" Videl snickered.
"This morning yes." Gohan chuckled.
"Just reminding you, I love you." Videl snickered.
"Ie'ok ler'eet yu't." Gohan said quietly. Videl smiled, leaned up and kissed Gohan on the cheek. The bell rang for their next class.
(A/N) Ie'ok ler'eet yu't : I love you
Yes, I had to add some fluff and make it in the native Saiyan language.
"It's during this class." Zago murmured.
"We know." Videl and Gohan said quietly as they walked down the hall. As they took their seats Videl glanced at the clock. It was twelve fifty; her heart accelerated and gripped Gohan's hand for comfort and strength. Mr. Klin dragged on the lecture and just as he took a breath for maybe his third pause in speaking in the last nine minutes the principle came on over the intercom.
"All teachers' turn on your televisions for a global, special announcement from King Furry himself." The principle demanded. Mr. Klin, though annoyed by it, turned on the television.
"Citizens of earth, you may be wondering as to why I have called for this global announcement. No, it is not another war, more like a treaty with another planet, another species. We know that there are other life forms out in the galaxy that has been made painfully clear by previous invasion attacks. And that there have been multiple attempts to take over the world by both alien and earthlings alike. I speak on behalf of all earthlings to open your minds to this alliance, as signed by the other forty two rulers of the other sectors of the planet, and my own signature, to hear to what their future king and queen of their planet have to say. Without further ado, I welcome Prince Vegeta." King Furry said, as applause roared through the crowd. Vegeta stepped up to the screen and a fellow classmate looked back to Gohan.
"Hey, isn't that a family friend of yours? He's an alien?" he asked.
"Just listen." Gohan said smoothly.
"People of earth, while I have lived among you, and while I may resemble you in appearance, I am hardly anything like you. And I am not the only one here. We are known as Saiyans, a warrior race of aliens that enjoy a good fight and defend with all we have what is rightfully ours. And under the treaties we have discussed with King Furry, we offer to your planet protection against those who try to invade it." Vegeta said. Reporter's hands shot in the air.
"Prince, how can you protect our planet when the military can't?" she asked.
"I'm glad you asked that. Woman, have you heard of a man by the name of Son Goku?" Vegeta asked. Everyone glanced back at Gohan then back to the screen.
"Yes, the boy with a tail, the one who saved the planet from the Red Ribbon Army and King Piccolo." She said.
"Kakarot, get up here!" Vegeta called. Goku stepped forward, his tail twitching as it wrapped around his waist.
"He's a Saiyan as well and obviously at a young age if he could something that the earths army could not do, within a few weeks, then imagine what ten Saiyans at age seventeen could do." Vegeta smirked.
"Dually noted." She said scribbling down her information. More hands rose.
"Prince, we heard that you would be king soon, but we also heard queen, who is she?" a man asked.
"Bulma Briefs." Vegeta said. The whole crowd went crazy. Bulma stepped up to the stage, her stomach swollen with pregnancy and her tail flicking as she walked up to the podium.
"Miss Briefs…"
"Please, call me Misses Sai when speaking to me of Saiyan matters." Bulma said kindly.
"Misses Sai, when did you acquire your tail and how?" a lady asked.
"All through science, and no, we are not making any more of the concoction; it took forever just to make enough for a small group of six." Bulma said. More hand rose.
"Small group of six, who were the other five?" someone asked.
"Easy, Goku's wife Chichi, their two sons, my son, and a recently discovered hybrid who wanted to be whole." Bulma said.
"Their names please?" the reported asked. Bulma looked to Vegeta, who simply smirked and then turned his attention to the camera.
"Would my son, Trunks Sai-Briefs please report to Central City? Bring Kakarot's son Goten Son. Gohan Son, Videl Satan, and the ten 'foreign exchange students' that are with them, please report. It's time. You have ten minutes." Vegeta commanded. Everyone in the class looked at the twelve teens that stood, their tails wrapping around their waists.
"We need to go." Gohan said.
"There's no way you can get to Central City in ten minutes, even in a jet." Mr. Klin argued. Goten and Trunks flew up to the window and the whole class stared in awe, even Mr. Klin.
"Who said anything about a vehicle?" Gohan chuckled.
"C'mon Gohan, I don't want my father getting mad." Trunks said angrily. Videl walked over to the window, opened it and jumped out the fourth floor window, only to hover back up.
"Let's go." Videl said.
"We're coming. Jeez, you're just as impatient as my mother." Gohan chuckled as he and the other Saiyans took to the air and flew at top speed to Central City. When they landed the audience was stunned. Questions were asked like crazy, most of them just forming into blurs of gibberish that the Saiyans couldn't understand.
"One at a time please." Bulma said. Questions were asked at rapid speed, and all were answered to the best of the Saiyans knowledge. When the conference was done they all either returned home or to school. In most awkward situations, people would be either cowering or hiding what had just happened, but the Saiyans weren't ordinary, they took all the snide remarks – which were few – and stares in stride and didn't care what happened. Erasa, Haru, Lisa and Sharpner all walked up to them.
"Well, the secret's out now." Erasa said.
"Kind of sad, I liked being one of the few humans that knew about the existence of Saiyans." Haru said glumly.
"Hey, look at it this way, you four had more time to get used to us." Gohan and Videl chuckled. Once school ended the stares continued, and now it seemed that the annoyances that had been dying down had decided to come back with a vengeance, but unlike before when the Saiyans had to hide their power, they could just fly away. Goten and Trunks met up with the twelve teens.
"So, tomorrow is the crowning ceremony." Trunks said.
"That's right, your parents and you are going to be crowned the new royalty." Zago chuckled.
"Yup." Trunks said.
March 10th
Videl stood with her mother in the palace throne room on planet Vegeta. The current king and queen sat on their thrones, waiting for the time to pass down the crown. They knew it was best for the alliance with earth. Zucchi looked to the door; the whole Saiyan raced was in the throne room as well.
"My lord, it is time, they are ready." Zucchi said. Just then Vegeta, Bulma and Trunks all entered the room, all in royal wear. The king and queen stood.
"My son, you and your mate, along with the others, have brought back our long dead race and planet and have showed us the new worlds that we could never imagine. It is up to you to rule our planet justly, just as I have. Do you swear it?" the king asked.
"I swear it father." Vegeta said. Both Vegeta's parents saluted their son before stepping to the side, allowing their son and his family to take their seats on the throne. Goku stood at his cue.
"All hail King Vegeta! All hail Queen Bulma! All hail Prince Trunks!" Goku shouted, receiving loud responses from the other Saiyans. Vegeta and Bulma smiled.
Had to end this chapter with a bang. How'd you like it? R&R.
