Satan City, Orange Star High School – Classroom 2C
Sitting in his last class for today, Gohan was partaking in his English studies. He was painfully bored, hearing the teacher busily explaining how Mr. Satan saved the world from Cell, which he alone knows the truth of in class. Eventually his sensitive ears hear murmurs and giggling among his companions. Not able to grasp everything being said, but he does hear Erasa's name among the commotion.
'What are they plotting on Erasa? Is it going to be a bad thing?' Gohan looks at his classmates, who are smiling without malice. 'It doesn't look like it's anything wrong... I'll find out later.'
Half an hour later the bell rang, indicating the end of school. All the students left their classroom to go to the lockers with Gohan doing the same.
Once he's grabs everything he needed he headed to the exit. He finds his friends are waiting for him.
"Now that Gohan been with us for quite some time, I can tell you what I was thinking." The four teenagers look towards Erasa. "As you know, Gohan's been at Orange Star for a week, hasn't he?" All four nod. "Well, I've decided to throw a party to celebrate! Don't you think that's great?"
"I think it's fantastic! I haven't been to a party in a long time." Sharpner looks at Fenn. "You're going to come, aren't you?"
"My father won't mind if I left him alone for a few hours, so count me in." They know that he's lying, but he doesn't really care at all.
Both Videl and Shānhú respond positively to the fact that they can go to a party.
"Perfect! The more people the more fun it will be!" Mentioned excitedly Erasa. "What about you, Gohan? Are you coming?"
The five young students look towards the hybrid, waiting for his answer since he was finally in their presence.
Gohan scratches his neck to settle his nerves. "Actually, I don't know... My mom is very strict, but I'll try to convince her to let me go."
"Good! The party will start at seven o'clock tonight. I hope to see you there!"
East District 439, Mount Paozu, Residence Area
"Gohan, you're finally back!" Goten hugs his older brother once he's seen him. "Can we play today? Ever since you started going to high school, you've spent less time with me."
"Sorry Goten, maybe another day, today I'll be busy." Gohan caresses the child's hair, ruffling it up even more. "Do you know where Mom is? I need to tell her something."
"Mom's outside, hanging the clothes." Goten responds. "And what do you need to talk to her about? Can't you tell me?"
"These are things beyond your years Goten. When you grow up, you'll know."
Leaving his shoulder bag in his bedroom, Gohan goes to the back of the house where his mother typically tends clothes. Upon seeing her, he walks to her nervously, but remains brave. When he's behind her, he clears his throat to get her attention.
Chi-Chi turns, a boy's T-shirt in her hands. "Gohan! How long have you been back?"
"I just got back, Mom." The woman sets the shirt down. "I wanted to ask you something."
"What do you want to ask son?"
"I... umm..." Gohan inhales to calm down. "One of my friends is having a party tonight, and I was wondering if you'd let me go, please."
"Of course not, Gohan! Do you know that there are usually alcoholic beverages at such parties?" The woman's face is red with anger. "I won't let you go to one and drink those things! No way! You stay home, period!"
"Mom, I'm sure there won't be alcohol at the party. Besides, I'm seventeen, I'm almost an adult. I can take care of myself." Gohan says trying to make Chi-Chi see reason.
"I don't care how old you are. Gohan, you'll always be my baby and I don't want anything bad to happen to you. That's why I won't let you go to that party!" Shouts Chi-Chi
"Please, Mom, I promise I won't do anything wrong."
"You won't stop until I accept, will you?" Gohan nods, making Chi-Chi sigh. "Ugh, alright, you can go to that party, but I want you to get home before midnight, is that clear?" The young man smiles cheerfully, about to go to his room to prepare for the party until he hears his mother's next words. "But I'm going to be the one to choose your clothes. After all, I want you to look presentable to your friends."
Gohan's mood deflated instantly. Knowing his mother, she'll choose clothing that too formal.
And as he suspected, his mother has forced him to put on a suit, something too conventional and stiff for Gohan's taste. He leaves the house very embarrassed, knowing he can't be seen in Erasa's home dressed like this! But it seems that luck is on his side as he soon hears some whispering coming from Goten's room.
"Hey! Heyyy!" Whispered a voice that Gohan immediately recognizes, which was Goten's. "Brother, here, here!"
"Goten, what are you doing?" Gohan ask approaching Goten's window.
"I know you don't like what Mom has forced you to wear, so I've put more casual clothes in this backpack." Goten throws a brown backpack at the eldest, who catches it without problems.
Gohan immediately opens the backpack to observe its contents. Seeing the goods, his younger brother truly did come through for him by providing him more relaxed clothing.
"Thank you very much Goten, you saved my life!"
"That's what brothers are for, isn't it?" Goten shakes his hand as if what he's done wasn't a big deal.
Gohan says goodbye to his brother and calls for his flying nimbus, deciding to change his clothes on it since no one would see him. It's time to go to the party.
Satan City, at night
It is around eight o'clock at night when Gohan arrives in Satan City, and as promised he has already changed from his suit into more casual clothing. The unnecessary clothes were neatly tucked into the backpack. Now the hybrid was wearing a moss-green tank -top, simple blue jeans, and blue and white sneakers.
Flying at a normal pace to Erasa's home, suddenly Gohan hears some drowned screams not far from where he is. Alerted, Gohan heads to where he hears the squeals, ready to know what is happening.
What he observes are two classmates surrounded by about three thugs. Seeing that he has no choice, Gohan frowns and prepares to transform into a Super Saiyan to both mask himself and to make short work of this situation. But before he could do so, he is shocked to see a golden light illuminate the area.
A boy apparently his age surrounded by a golden aura materializes in the middle of the crime scene. Possessing muscles slightly larger than normal, but his other traits cannot be seen due to the brightness of his aura that hides his clothes or even his face. Acting quickly, Gohan hides his ki to not be noticed.
In an instant, the Golden Warrior pounces on the wrongdoers. He elbows one of the offenders in the nose, breaking it and knocking him unconscious instantly. One of the other thugs, a burly man, tries to hit the Golden Warrior, but he dodges the punch and slightly flicks the man on the chin, which causes him to fall to the ground. The last of the wrongdoers pulls out a knife and faces the girls with ill intent. The Golden Warrior creates a mini ki sphere on his index finger, throwing it as a refined wave that causes a large cut on the malefactor's cheek, making him flee from the scene in a panic.
Gohan slowly advances to better observe who that mysterious warrior is, but as soon as he has appeared he has also disappeared, leaving him stunned. Regaining his bearings, Gohan decides to ignore him in favor of going and seeing how the girls are doing.
"Are you alright? Did anything happen to you?" Asked Gohan to the two girls, who were shaking and hugging each other.
"Nothing happened to us because of the Golden Warrior."
"I was so scared!"
Gohan makes a deeper frown, needing to know a detail only they could provide. "I know it sounds weird and a little in bad taste that I asked you this after what you've been through, but ... did you see the Golden Warrior's face?"
"I'm sorry, but we didn't. His face was covered with a scarf, so we couldn't see his face well."
"Okay, I can understand. Tell me, are you also going to Erasa's party?" The two girls nodded. "I'm going too, if you want we can go together so that the same thing doesn't happen to you again, what do you say?"
The two girls gladly accepted, so the three of them went to the blonde's home together.
Satan City, Erasa's House, Entrance
"My, my, Gohan." Sung Sharpner in an upbeat tone. "You've only been in high school for a week and you're already showing up with two girls, what a womanizer you are."
"I-I... It's not that!" Gohan tried to explain, cheeks glowing red as he tripped over his words. The two girls went to another part of the house once they've entered. "I was just accompanying them because they were mugged!"
"If that's what you say." Sharpner shrugs, making Gohan sign as the blonde makes a gesture to the hybrid. "Come with me, we've been waiting for you."
Gohan follows the platinum-plated blonde, going straight to the kitchen where he can see his friends, who all greet and smile at him.
"I see you were finally able to come, Gohan!" Cries Erasa cheerfully. "The party would have been very boring if you weren't here."
"I don't think that's true, Erasa." Shānhú corrects the blonde, who sticks her tongue out at her. "But that doesn't mean I'm not glad you came."
"The one who wanted you to come the most was our dear Erasa. She was so desperate for you to attend that she kept looking at the watch!" Both Videl and Shānhú punched Fenn's shoulder and fulminated him with their eyes. "It was just a joke, you didn't have to be like that."
"That happens to you for being a fool! How can you say that!?" Videl shoots a glare at Fenn.
"Same! You can just drop that kind of thing just like that." Shanhu points to Erasa. "Apologize immediately!"
"Ugh, okay, okay..." Fenn walks over to the blonde. "I'm sorry Erasa, I won't make fun of you again."
Erasa accepts the chestnut man's apology as if it was nothing. She was never bothered by what he has said since in actuality she was a little desperate for Gohan to attend.
The group of friends start laughing, but Gohan soon notices Fenn and Shānhú. Unlike his three other friends, the two of them, like him, wore different clothing than the average citizen.
Shānhú was wearing a black tank top adorned by a drawing of a coral snake. She had on white shorts and black combat boots. Her hair is collected into a very short ponytail.
Fenn is dressed in black jeans and sneakers of the same color. But strange enough his crimson dress shirt seemed a little battered, having a few frayed areas and missing three buttons, leaving part of his pecs exposed.
"Hey, Fenn, is it normal for your shirt to be like this?" Gohan points to Fenn's shirt.
The other teenagers looked at Fenn, realizing that his shirt is partly destroyed.
"Gohan is right. Your shirt is a mess, Fenn! Did something happen to you when you came here?" Asked Erasa, worried about her friend.
"Oh, this? It's nothing. I guess my muscles grew since I last put it on." Fenn smiles smugly, flexing his muscles.
Trying to refrain from making a condescending frown, Videl casts a look of suspicion at Fenn, not believing any of his words. 'The Golden Warrior is abnormally muscular. And as I heard a while ago, he's saved some girls from thugs. And Fenn's shirt is shattered, as if his muscles had grown themselves... As if that wasn't enough, he has arrived before Gohan.'
"Well, how about we get on with the party? We're here for a reason, aren't we?" Sharpner tries to soothe the tension in the environment.
The question receives positive answers from Erasa and Shānhú. Videl however doesn't answer, too busy looking intriguingly at Fenn. Eventually the six young teens decided to separate, each going their own way.
Gohan decided to stand in a corner of the living room with a soda he's taken from the fridge. He was nervous because it's the first party he ever went with people his age. Being so self-absorbed into his thoughts, he doesn't notice Fenn placing himself by his side.
"I finally found you, Gohan. You were so hidden I could hardly spot you." Says the muscular boy.
"Fenn!" Exclaimed a surprised Gohan, who doesn't know what his friend was doing with him. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd be with some girls."
"I was quite bored and thought I could talk to a friend."
Gohan quietly suspects Fenn has something in mind to him but says nothing since he's not sure. "W-Well, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, it's strange to see you with a soda. This is a party, man!"
"And what should I drink?" Gohan opens his eyes like plates by understanding Fenn's suggestion. "No, no, my mother would kill me."
Fenn places one of his hands on Gohan's back. "Come on, I'm sure she'd understand. She may not even notice. It's your first party, I don't think you're unlucky enough that she's so attentive to what you've drunk."
Gohan looks down as he thinks of his friend's words. "Well... It's true that I've never had a drink. I doubt Mom would suspect. I should try, right? I'm almost an adult."
"Well?" Fenn smirks wickedly, he knows he's caught Gohan.
Gohan sips his soda to soothe the knot in his throat. "I think its fine, but please make it light. I have no experience with alcohol."
'Something light? At Erasa's parties there is nothing light.' Fenn then takes Gohan to an impromptu bar which had a classmate with silver hair preparing ordered drinks.
"Hey, Fenn! The usual?" Asked the straight silver-haired boy as he preps a glass.
"No, no, I want something 'light' for my friend Gohan." Fenn winks at him in a disguised manner, making the boy to take the hint.
"I see what you want..." Said the boy, smiling complicitly. "Nice to meet you Gohan, I'm Gin, and I have the perfect drink for you. Do you prefer a sweet, sour or bitter drink?"
"I think something acid would be fine." Answered insecurely Gohan.
Amused by the answer, Gin gets to work by first looking through the various drinks. Finding what he was seeking, he grabs a bottle of vodka and a piece of lemon.
Gin fills the glass with some crushed ice and puts mint leaves over it. After that he puts vodka in the glass and squeezes out most of the ice and water. After finishing the drink, he inserts some lime slices decoratively into the glass, injects a straw, and offers it to Gohan.
"Come on, man, this is a party, not a fancy dinner!" Exclaimed Sharpner, who has approached the bar to order a drink. "You don't have to make drinks of such caliber."
"You don't understand the art of drinks." Gin scoffs with a smile.
Gohan takes the glass with both hands. "It has a very strong smell."
Hearing that caused Sharpner to explode in laughter. "Come on, don't tell me you can smell it at that distance. Are you a dog or what?"
'So you have good smell Gohan. I'm becoming more and more suspicious.' Fenn thinks with a smile.
Gohan looks at the glass in his hands with some nervousness and restlessness. But he's almost an adult, so he must start thinking for himself, even if it's choosing something his mother doesn't like.
"Come on Gohan, stop looking at the glass so much and drink it at once!" Insisted the platinum blonde.
The three boys look towards Gohan, so the hybrid decided to not keep them waiting any longer. He then drank from the glass, bring much joy to Sharper and Fenn, even making the latter smile.
Gohan feels his throat starting to sting and burn, causing him to start coughing. "Ugh! I don't know how anyone can like this. It stings a lot!"
"What surprises me most is that you drink it like it a normal drink." Fenn laughs as he drinks a little from his glass.
"Guys, how about we play a beer pong game?" Sharpner proposes. "A game between Gohan and Fenn. What do you guys say?"
"I think it's perfect, let's think of this as a ritual for Gohan."
As Gohan's two friends begin to prepare everything for the game, Gohan himself is too busy trying not to get dizzy by the alcohol in his system.
"Hey, Gohan, are you alright?" Shānhú asks, having come over to see what her friends were doing.
"Y-Yes! I'm great! I was just thinking about how delicious the drink was!"
Sharpner meanwhile asks Erasa for permission to move the ping pong table and place it close to where they are. When it was granted, the redistribution of it catches the attention of many companions.
"Hey ... could you tell me how to play beer pong?" Asked Gohan to Shānhú, who simply shrugs, having no idea how to play.
Hearing Gohan's question, Erasa decides to assist her friend. "It's not very difficult. There are ten glasses on each side, in turn ping pong balls will be thrown trying to hit them in a glass on the opponent's side. When you lose a glass at the hands of the enemy you have to drink a glass of beer. Whoever has to drink ten glasses first loses."
"Gohan, you're not used to drinking, don't do this. This will go wrong." Videl warns with a frown, who has approached the scene largely due to the buzz of this fuss.
The hybrid looks down, reflecting on Videl's words.
"Isn't that the guy who jumped like eight feet in the baseball game? I think he's pretty cute and that he dares to play beer pong against Feen seems great to me." A curly-haired girl mutters to her friend near her.
Gohan's ears vibrate for a second when he hears that.
"Don't worry Videl, I can do it." Gohan then blushes and looks at the girl who said good things about him, causing Shānhú to frown.
"Well, don't say we didn't warn you."
This greatly surprised Gohan, for Shānhú has never spoken to him like that before. 'What have I done to make her grumpy?'
"Okay Gohan, I have to tell you that I'm very good at this game. You can retire whenever you want."
Gohan smiles arrogantly. "I defeated Cell seven years ago, I've fought with enemies that many here couldn't even fathom. I can win a simple game."
"Do you want to accommodate the glasses in a triangle or in a row?" Fenn asks.
"You decide."
Fenn smiles before instructing Sharpner to put the glasses in a row, as this makes the game more difficult since the vessels are not making contact with each other. Once the glasses are placed, he gives Gohan a ping pong ball, telling him to throw the first one.
Gohan catches the ball and prepares to throw it. He moves his hand gently to send it to one of the glasses, but it bounces and passes by it, much to the boy's surprise. "How?"
"Looks like it's my turn." Fenn takes a ball with his index finger and middle finger, and with a subtle movement throws it, causing it to bounce off Gohan's forehead and land perfectly inside a glass, surprising the hybrid. Everyone who was gathered cheered for Fenn, though some also supported Gohan.
"This is harder than I thought." Gohan removes the glass he has lost from the ping pong table, after which they pass him a glass of beer. He drinks quickly to have his turn as soon as possible.
Everyone laughs and claps at this, loving Gohan's show of sportsmanship.
"Gohan, you shouldn't have done that, you'll just make it worse." Thought the red-headed girl, worried about her friend's safety.
Gohan, concentrating much more than before, throws the ball, causing it to bounce against the table, landing on the edge of a glass, but failing to enter. This caused Gohan to groan at his failure.
Now Fenn's turn, the muscular teen takes the ball and flicks it into the air with his thumb, landing perfectly inside one of Gohan's glasses, much to the annoyance of the hybrid, who has to drink another glass of beer.
All of this was seen by Shānhú, feeling sorry for Gohan.
'He's already starting to get sick. It makes sense since it's his first time drinking beer.' Thought Erasa when she sees the black haired teen letting out a grimace of disgust after drinking from another glass.
"Now I'm going to be serious." Murmured Gohan as he channels some ki intohis fingers, throwing the ball into one of the chestnut glasses, slightly modifying its trajectory as it flies.
The ball lands perfectly inside one of the glasses without even touching the edges.
"And Gohan starts to recover!" Exclaimed Sharpner, playing commentator to add excitement to the game.
"That was just a lucky shot." Said Fenn, surprised that a rookie in a mild drunken state manages to make such a good shot.
Fenn drinks his glass of beer in one gulp, then takes the ball and throws it into one of Gohan's glasses, who snaps his fingers as he channels some ki, causing the ball to bounce off one of the glasses and go outside.
The whole place is silent, nobody being used to seeing a failed shot from Fenn. The chestnut rubs his eyes with his fists to check if his vision was deceiving him.
"It's my turn." Gohan throws the ball with a little more technique than before, now believing he doesn't even have to use ki to get into a glass.
"Two to two! Rookie Gohan is starting to take ground!" Sharpner declares, raising his voice for all to hear.
"This is more interesting than I thought." Fenn has a glass of beer and takes it.
Smirking, Gohan's cheeks were becoming somewhat red due to a mixture of alcohol and emotions.
Fenn throws the ball and hits inside a glass.
Gohan misses a shot.
Fenn hits another one.
Gohan hits one.
Fenn hits another.
Gohan fails.
Fenn hits another shot.
Gohan feels like cheating again, as he is very close to losing.
"Six to three! Looks like rookie Gohan's luck is over!"
'No, I shouldn't cheat using my ki. It's just a game, not worth revealing my identity over. Alcohol is already making my eyes difficult, it would be dangerous to use ki in this situation.' Thought Gohan, having difficulty concentrating on the glasses because his gaze was wobbling.
Trying his absolute best, Gohan throws the ball that seemed like it was about to enter a glass, but surprisingly it bounces unnaturally and misses, something only Gohan can notice due to the angle of his vision.
"You were close, but don't worry. You did well for a rookie." Fenn throws his ball into a glass of Gohan, smoothly going right in.
'Someone ruined my shot. But I couldn't feel any trace of ki. Was it Fenn? No, that bounce would be hard to do from his viewing angle, and he wasn't even paying attention. That just means that, among everyone who's watching, there's someone using some kind of energy to make me lose.' Gohan has another glass of beer.
"Come on Gohan, please stand down and leave. You have done well, but it is dangerous for you to continue." Shānhú pleads to Gohan.
Gohan ignores her while still thinking.
"Gohan, please." Shānhú says again.
"I'm not giving up!" Gohan shouts in a somewhat borderline aggressive tone. Shocked, Shānhú closes her eyes and retreats with some sadness and frustration clinging to her persona.
Barely opening her eyes while lowering her gaze to the floor, at that moment Videl takes Shānhú by the shoulder and confronts Gohan.
"You're an asshole!" Videl yells before she takes the redhead by the hand and pushes her away from the place. "I hope Gohan doesn't win, I'd rather see him fail than become snooty like Fenn."
"I hope Gohan loses as soon as possible or gives up. I'm worried he'll keep playing so drunk." Shānhú says, still worried about Gohan even after how the boy yelled at her.
Before Videl could respond, her cell phone starts vibrating. "Hey, can I have a second? Looks like they're calling me."
Understanding, Shānhú nodded. "Sure, I'll keep watching the game. When you get back I'll explain how it went."
Immediately the pigtails girl leaves. Now alone, Shānhú decides to watch the beer pong match from afar.
Meanwhile Fenn is winning eight to seven.
"I just have to guide the movements of the ball. Maybe I'm a bit dizzy, but my father taught me how to guide ki attacks when we trained in the Room of Spirit and Time. I just need to do it on a smaller scale." Thought Gohan, starting to forget his own precautions.
He throws the ball, controlling it with precision, but halfway through he feels the ki he left inside the object vanish, causing him to lose his ability to manipulate his shot.
"You were so close." Sneered Fenn as he sees the ball misses.
His turn again, preparing another simple throw, Fenn tosses his ball towards another one of Gohan's glasses.
"Well, if they cheat against me, I'll have to win using more traps." Gohan uses his ki to gently push the ball up while bouncing to cause it to lose speed, but in the end it still plops into one of his glasses. "Damnit! I can't detect any trace of ki in those movements."
"You can still retire if you wish." Fenn says, oblivious to everything that's going on.
"Shut up!" Gohan furiously drinks his ninth glass of beer.
The hybrid takes the ball and channels at tremendous amount of ki into it, enough to destroy a wall with one shot if he so desired. Gohan throws the ball while controlling it, but once it about to get into the glass, suddenly it repelled out.
"It's been a good game, but I've had a lot to drink too, so I'd rather beat you now and get this over with." Fenn arrogantly comments, flexing his firing arm before throwing the ball.
Gohan channels enough ki to blow up a mountain and uses it to sneakily push the ball, but it lands in his last glass anyway, causing the boy to boil with rage. "You bastard, you cheated!"
This provokes disbelief in Fenn, who remains silent not only because he doesn't know how to answer, but also because of his friend's attitude.
Gohan stumbles towards Fenn, eventually standing before him. "You heard me, you cheated!"
"Relax, man, it's just a game. You don't have to drink the tenth glass if you don't want to. We were just teasing you. Take it easy." Calmly said Sharpner to cool down his friend.
"Can't face a little defeat?" Fenn stated in a taunting manner. "Besides, how could I have cheated?"
Gohan blinks, suddenly regaining enough wisdom to not say he suspects Fenn has used ki to redirect the ball.
"You know what you've done, you idiot!" Gohan take Fenn by the collar of the shirt, making the whole environment very tense.
"Let go of me right now." Fenn says in a serious tone.
"Or what are you going to do? Hit me in front of everyone?" Gohan asks in an aggressive tone.
Sharpner gently rests his right hand on Gohan's to loosen his grip. "Come on, man, let him go. Don't be like that, you've had a lot to drink."
Gohan looks up with eyes of fire at Fenn until he notices how ridiculous he is making the situation turn into. He immediately let go of his friend's shirt and Sharpner helps Gohan sit on one of the many chairs around.
Shānhú looks at Gohan.
"It's better this way." She murmurs as she sees Videl and gives her a smile before she walks away.
"Hey, Gohan, are you alright?" Gohan, half asleep, hears a female voice calling him, causing him to jump out of his sleep and fall off the chair where he was.
"Hey? Yes, yes... I feel good." He gradually gets up from the ground, being helped by his blonde friend. "Ugh... what time is it Erasa?"
"It's two in the morning. You fell asleep shortly after Fenn won beer pong." Answered Erasa by looking at a clock above the living room.
That makes Gohan uneasy. "It that late!? I have to go right now!"
"You can't drive so drunk, it's best if you stayed here and have someone else take you."
"Don't worry, I'll take a cab." Replied the hybrid to Erasa. "Until another day! I had a great time!"
Gohan leaves with speed from Erasa's house, flying away once he sees that there is no one around who can observe him, staggering in the air because of how drunk he is.
East District 439, Mount Paozu
Landing near his home, Gohan looks at the backpack where his mother's suit is.
"I'm conscious enough to know that if she sees me that I changed my clothes I won't get out alive." Gohan undressed, putting on the outfit he took off before he went to the party.
After that Gohan sneaks into his house, believing that no one will notice him, but he is very wrong. Just about to head into his room, suddenly the lights turned on, making the boy nervous right away.
Whoever turned on the lights was nobody but Chi-Chi, dressed in a simple nightgown. "Gohan! Do you know what time it is?"
"M-Mom!" Gohan exclaims, scared.
"I knew I shouldn't have let you go to that party! Not only are you late home, but you also come back drunk. I can smell the alcohol plaguing from here! And look how you're dressed!" The woman points to Gohan, who got the buttons patched on his shirt wrong and belt poorly accommodated at his waistline.
"N-I haven't had a drink!"
"You didn't? Then why does your mouth stink of alcohol?" Chi-Chi crosses her arms, not believing a word from her son.
"I... Eeeeeh... Kissed a girl who had alcohol breath." Lied Gohan, causing his mother's barely contained temperament to turn into one of disbelief and aggression.
Chi-Chi looks at his son for a few seconds as she prepares the right words to punish him, but he stops her dry.
"I'm sorry, Mom, but now I'm too tired. Please scold me tomorrow. Goodnight." Gohan leaves for his room, leaving his mother speechless and very upset.
Jingle Village, Shānhú's House
Shānhú is getting ready for sleep, now pretty tired after just getting home an hour ago.
"The party was pretty good, but I didn't like the way Gohan was acting during the game." The redhead begins to undress. "Although I can't blame him either, there are many who behave like this the first time they drink, but I was surprised that he got so aggressive." After putting on her pajamas, she lies in her bed. "Although he has a good heart, I hope he realizes he was wrong today. I didn't like him yelling at me like that. He's too competitive for such a simple game." She squints her eyes and yawns, then laughs. "I hope your defeat teaches you not to cheat again. You get very exasperated when your tricks don't work for you."
Then the girl gradually falls asleep, thinking about Gohan and the party in general.
A/N: Here is chapter number two! The main chapters will show some of Gohan's day at the institute and his friends, but don't worry, it won't take long for the story to get interesting.
"Gin" (銀) means "silver." The guy who serves the drinks is named after his silver hair.
Until the next chapter!"
