Morning…

"Heading off Mom, Dad… I'll see you later after school OK!" called Gohan, the door to the Son residence swinging open suddenly, revealing a smartly dressed if you will, Gohan. He wore baggy, orange trousers, a long sleeved and baggy white T-shirt and a black vest with the Orange Star High school badge pinned at the bottom left hand of the clothe. His hair still resembled what it look like during the Cell games but it was now shorter.

Just before Gohan had jogged three meters from the house, Alaric appeared at the doorway, calling Gohan's name to get his attention.

"Wait a second Gohan!" Gohan stopped instantly and turned around, his face showing his confusion to why his brother would keep him waiting, he had packed everything... well, at least he thought so, all the basic stuff that is. The expression changed though into a sheepish smile when Alaric shoved a white sheeted bag into his waiting hands. "Here… you'd probably want your lunch."

Opening up the yellow school bag he had flung over his shoulder he placed the white table clothed lunch bag gently in so it was sitting on his books. Once he was sure his lunch was secure, he closed his bag back up and flung it over his shoulder again, and making sure that it wouldn't slip during his flight.

He then turned back to stare at his brother, knowing that he wasn't done with him yet. To no surprise, he had a semi-stern look on his face.

"Oh… please tell me that's not what you're going to wear at school," said Alaric with a sigh, shaking his head at the same time. Gohan just smiled and shrugged.

"I don't see anything wrong with it," said Gohan. Alaric shook his head, a small smile spreading across his lips.

"OK bro, I guess I'm going to teach you a little bit about fashion, look at me," said Alaric, as he turned slowly in a 360 degree fashion. Showcasing a Black Mens Casual Fashion slim collarless shirt, stone washed pants and a pair of Adio skateboard shoes.

Alaric continued, "See what I mean? This is our first time in high school, it's all about first impressions. Not to say that looks are everything but it will make our lives a little easier."

Gohan looked down at his clothes and realized his older brother was right, his expression downed before he felt a reassuring grip on his shoulder causing Gohan to look back up at Alaric. "Hey, I don't mean to rain down on your parade, I just think you need to spice it up a little, you know 'flare' it up, let me help." And with that Alaric concentrated while using his sensi's clothes beam technique before firing at Gohan which resulted in Gohan's new outfit: A mens brown Vest Lattice Fake two Slim Vest Outwear with black pants and comfortable dress shoes.

"I like it, it fits, comfortable, and it keeps the original idea in mind thanks 'Ric!" called Gohan, jumping into the air. Just as he had reached five meters above the ground, Gohan noticed that Alaric wasn't following him, so Gohan descended back down giving his older brother a curious look, "You alright? Why aren't you following?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be a little late, I won't be joining you on the way to school. The reason why is because I got a couple of surprises for you, Lime and Azuki; by the way they're heading towards the school now so they'll be waiting for you by the time you arrive. But don't tell them about the surprises either ok?"

"Alright just don't take too long, you've been cooped up in Capsule Corp for the past 5 months, you need some sun, you look pale," quipped Gohan.

"Ha ha smart aleck, now get going," said Alaric, positioning two fingers on his forehead. "Send my love to the misses." Gohan rolled his eyes at him chuckling as Alaric disappeared to C.C to finish whatever 'surprises' he was planning for them.

-Dbz-

Gohan landed on the outskirts of Satan City. He decided to walk the rest of the way since he still had plenty of time before school started.

"Don't move or I'll shoot. I'm not kidding," Gohan looked over in the direction he'd heard the voice come from. There to his surprise were ten men with guns holding up a nearby bank and shooting at the police.

'I've got to stop them,' Gohan thought to himself. 'But I don't want all the reporters giving us trouble.' Gohan shuddered as he thought of the hell that Hercule's family must go through due to his supposed fame.

"I'm leaving with the money," the lead robber said bringing Gohan out of his thoughts. "Or the hostage gets her brains smeared all over the pavement."

'That's it,' Gohan thought. 'If I go Super Saiyan no one will recognize me if they happen to see me later. Although that might attract Azuki and Lime, thinking I might be in some kind of trouble, though I can the suppress the power.' He looked down and saw the badge for the school he was supposed to be attending. 'That could be trouble. I don't want to be linked to anywhere,' he thought. But that is easily fixed. With a little concentration, Gohan easily materialized a pure black jumpsuit onto himself. With that Gohan flashed instantly into Super Saiyan and appeared behind the first bank robber and brought his hand into the goon's neck rendering him unconscious.

The next robber turned to shoot the hero, but Gohan drove an elbow into his face rendering him unconscious before he could even pull the trigger.

The third robber actually got a few shots off at Gohan but the Super Saiyan was fast enough that he easily caught the bullets and smashed them to powder right in front of the robber's eyes. The crooks eyes went wide. "What are you?" he asked.

"You're worst nightmare," Gohan replied as he kicked the man in the face knocking him out.

Two other crooks pulled their guns and shot at Gohan. But the young Saiyan lazily raised his hand and caught the two bullets that were flying toward him and threw them to the ground. "You shouldn't play with guns," he said. "You could really hurt somebody." With that the demi-Saiyan fazed out of sight and hit the two crooks on the back of the head, knocking them out cleanly. Three of the remaining crooks threw down their weapons and put their hands on their heads showing that they gave up but the last two jumped into their get away van and began to desperately drive in the other direction.

Gohan fazed out of sight and appeared in front of the vehicle and put up his hand instantly stopping the momentum and jerking the crooks in their seats.

"Wait, don't hurt us!" the first of the two crooks yelled. "We give up!"

Quickly, two police officers were on the scene to put hand cuffs on the crooks. "Thanks stranger," one of them said.

"No problem," Gohan said as he jumped up onto a nearby rooftop.

He quickly stopped himself as he found he was face to face with a beautiful young girl. She was around sixteen or so. She had bright blue eyes, raven dark hair in pig tails, and wore a plain white shirt and shorts with an Orange Star High badge. "Wait where do you think you're going?" she asked.

"Away," Gohan replied flatly matching her tone.

"But how'd you stop those crooks so easily?"

"Does it matter? Besides I did your job for you. I don't have time for your questions," Gohan said as he fazed out of sight faster than the girl could see.

"How'd he do that?" she said to herself. "I'm going to find out. That's for sure."

-Dbz-

Gohan sighed as he entered into the school building. He'd changed back into his normal clothes as well as dropping out of Super Saiyan. He noticed Lime and Azuki standing around the school entrance, but was instantly barraged by a group of jocks. The supposed leader of the group came up behind Lime and wrapped his arms around her.

"Hey babe," he spoke into her ear while stroking her bare stomach, "why don't you and your other lady friend here come hang with us?"

Now Azuki and Lime were quite peeved that some random guy would come up and touch them, especially if wasn't Alaric.

Almost as if on cue, Lime struck the jock in the face, effectively detaching him from her and flooring him.

He picked himself up and bellowed, "You're dead, you bi…" he found himself floored again, this time by Alaric. Looking up, the now sore jock saw his soon-to-be 'babe' latched onto Alaric's arm.

"If you touch either of my girlfriends, without their permission," Alaric growled in a dangerously low tone, grabbing the lead jock by the throat, "I swear, if you touch them again, YOU'RE GOING TO BE A STAIN ON THE WALL!" Tossing the lead jock like a sack of potatoes into the rest of the jock's, he turned his attention his attention back to Azuki and Lime, "These guys didn't you that much trouble did they?"

"No, these guys wouldn't have been a problem but I can't stand men who just grab and claim women as their own without their permission," huffed Lime as she was still peeved at what happened.

"Tell me about it, there's only one man I know that I want grabbing me," flirted Azuki winking causing Alaric to blush.

"I have to be going right now, but I'll be gone only for ten more minutes, make sure to bring Gohan with you to class," ordered Alaric, kissing both his mates before IT back to C.C.

"Gohan, you wouldn't happen to know what Rycon's doing right now would ya?" questioned Azuki.

"I know where he is but not what he's doing, but like he said we should get going," said Gohan. 'This day has already been more interesting than I bargained for and school hasn't even started yet. I don't know how much of this I can take.' thought Gohan.
