A/N: If this next chapter is going to make any sense to you readers, then I'll have to make a few things clear. One, Gohan started school a month after everybody else, in September. Two, it was the middle of September in the middle of the week. Three, Videl doesn't know that Gohan knows Bulma, he only mentioned Vegeta. Okay? Good. I hope you guys don't mind time skips, because I'll be doing one in this chapter. And yes, this chapter shall begin a very cliché, occasionally overused, idea. HAVE FUN!

Gohan POV

A month had passed since Gohan had started at Orange Star, and he was beginning to get a little bored. He quickly fixed the slightly broken relationship he had with Sharpener, and there hadn't been an incident with Gohan's anger since that day in the cafeteria. Gohan continued to zone out in all of his classes and they had finally began sparring in P.E. Videl was always his partner for that, considering that she was the only one in that entire class that came even close to his power. She had faithfully kept his secret and he had taught her how to do her martial arts more correctly. On weekends he would train Goten and study under his mother's watchful eye. Sadly for Gohan, Dende was about to make his life a lot more interesting.

It was a Thursday, about a week before Halloween. It was first period and there was about ten minutes left in class. Gohan was aimlessly doodling, when Mr. Bird had stopped teaching to give them a very special announcement.

"Listen up, class. I have a very special announcement to make to all of you about the Senior Trip. Now, normally we would be going somewhere like a baseball game or a water park for the day, but this year is special." Mr. Bird started. Excited murmurs were heard throughout the classroom and Mr. Bird continued. "This year we will be spending a week at one of the most successful corporations in the world." There was a collective groan heard around the classroom and Gohan looked away from his drawing. He couldn't be talking about….no…she wouldn't dare do that…would she? Gohan thought to himself fidgeting in his chair. "Now, don't start groaning yet, I haven't told you where you're going yet. You are going to spend a week at… the marvelous…Capsule Corps." Mr. Bird finally announced. There was a collective gasp heard around the room and then the cheering had begun. Gohan had visibly paled and dropped his pencil, taking shaky breaths. This didn't go unnoticed by his three friends.

"Are you okay, Gohan?" Erasa asked him, placing her hand on his forehead, checking for a temperature. Before Gohan could answer, Sharpener answered for him.

"Are you kidding, Erasa? Capsule Corps. would be a paradise for Gohan. Just think about it, anything you could ever need to make something, anything you could ever want to know. It's a nerd's paradise." Sharpener informed them. Gohan just rolled his eyes. How could she do this? Is she insane? She could get all of them killed! Gohan quietly panicked, thinking of a certain hot-headed Saiyan he knew. Before Erasa could ask him anymore questions, Mr. Bird started talking again.

"You will be spending a week in their new residential building. You will each have a room to yourself, and yes, these rooms have already been assigned." Mr. Bird said, answering the age-old question. "You will be given time to work on a project that will count for a hundred points each towards your Math and Science grade." The class groaned again. "Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to work in groups, but no more than four people to a group. And, if your invention in extremely extraordinary, then it will be put on the market and you will receive half of the profit it makes." That got the class' attention, except for of course Gohan. He's held an on-again off-again position at Capsule Corps. since he was fourteen and he was pretty much the highest paid worker there, even if he only did pop in once or twice every month. But that was only because ALL of his inventions were highly revolutionary.

"Now, here are the permission slips. We will be leaving tomorrow as soon as we get a head count, et cetera, and remember to bring clothes, toiletries and any other necessities." Mr. Bird said as he handed out the permission slips and he excused them to their next class.

All day all he heard was Capsule Corps. this and Capsule Corps. that. He still hadn't that inevitable feeling that something bad was going to happen on that trip- like the fact that his class will really begin to realize just how much of a genius he was, or the fact that he knew Bulma Briefs in the first place. He worried until school was out, where he then quickly rocketed towards his home. He argued with his mother until she threatened the Frying Pan, and he gave up, giving her the form to sign.

The Next Day

Gohan didn't bother packing anything for the trip, he practically had a house full of clothes over there. He just pulled on a red long sleeved shirt and some black jeans, putting the permission slip in his pocket. He flew off towards the school and met Videl, Erasa and Sharpener on the school's front lawn.

"Hey, guys." Gohan said dejectedly. They replied with 'hellos' of their own, when Videl asked him a question.

"Gohan, where's your clothes and stuff?" Videl asked, seeing no sort of luggage at all. Gohan just pulled out his lunch capsule and lied to her that his stuff was inside of it. She seemed to accept that and they just talked about how excited they were for this trip, Gohan only adding a few comments throughout the entire conversation.

Finally, Mr. Bird had come out to the front lawn and began loading the kids on the bus, asking for permission slips. Erasa, Sharpener, Videl and Gohan were the last ones to get on the bus, but miraculously they all found seats next to each other: Erasa and Sharpener sat in front of Videl and Gohan. The bus driver then proceeded to explain how the trip to get there would be an hour or two long, along with the safety regulations. They started off and about a half hour into the trip, Gohan got sleepy. He told Videl he was going to take a nap and she nodded, while putting in her ear-buds. Gohan then leaned against the window and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

He woke up to the sound of a camera clicking, a flash flashing in his eyes and Erasa squealing, "They're so cute!" Gohan had no idea what she was talking about and turned to ask Videl, when he saw that she was leaning on his shoulder, asleep. Oh so that's what she meant Gohan told himself. He didn't move her, because it wasn't really uncomfortable, just a bit embarrassing. He looked out the window and guessed that they had about ten minutes to go until they were there. About five minutes away from Capsule Corps, Videl woke up and immediately scooted away from Gohan, blushing.

"So, is Gohan a good pillow, Videl?" Erasa asked teasingly. Videl's cheeks rivaled Gohan's shirt and she told Erasa to shut up. Erasa merely laughed and turned around. Five minutes later, they were at Capsule Corps. They all piled off of the bus and Gohan saw both Bulma and Vegeta out on the front yard to greet them. Well here goes nothing Gohan thought to himself as he walked towards his impending doom.
