The next day once Gohan had fed Goten and made her lunch and was ready for school she decided to IT it to Capsule Corp so she could have the most amount of time available to work on the project she had brewing in her mind from yesterday.

"Morning Gohan, what brings you here so early?" greeted Dr. Briefs who was sitting at the table sipping his coffee while Panchy pottered around the kitchen making breakfast. They had 2 versions of the Robo-Chef that Gohan had, an industrial sized one on the ground floor rooms that were there for conferences and groups and the staff as well as one here in the private living quarters but Panchy still enjoyed making everything by scratch, as her cooking was as good as she remembered her mothers to be. Not to mention he is the queen of cakes and biscuits.

"Morning guys, is Bulma up yet?" Asked Gohan while Goten wandered off, after giving Gohan a kiss on the cheek, to Trunk's room, she got him up really early and figured he was going to get more sleep, that kid was not a morning person.

"I heard the shower on while coming tot he Kitchen and since the gravity chamber is already running I guess that it was Bulma in the shower, she had a guest over last night so we're not sure." Dr. Briefs explained.

Before Gohan could wander off to look for her, Panchy placed a large cup of Coffee in front of her, "Oh dear those bags under your eyes are back again, are you having trouble sleeping still? Do you want more of the tea leaves dear?"

"Thats okay, thanks Panchy, I am running low but I'll get by, you'd think after all these years I'd be more used to the nightmares but they are still bothering me as much as when I was younger."

Gohan never hid the fact she was having trouble sleeping or the reasons behind her trouble, at least not to Panchy, that woman always knew when she wasn't sleeping well and Gohan just opened up to her more and more over the years, it might be the way Panchy had a knowing look on her face and yet wouldn't push Gohan to open up, either way a few years ago before Gohan realised what was happening Panchy sort of became her therapist or at least listen and not judge person. Gohan hadn't thought she needed someone to do that for her, nor that she was holding onto some of the trauma from over the years, just that she was having nightmares and it wasn't that she didn't want to talk to any of her friends about it. She didn't even plan on Panchy being the one but one day Panchy sat a cup of tea in front of her and asked Gohan how she was next thing Gohan knew she was spilling every fear, torment and nightmare to her and feeling better, she stopped having nightmares everynight and now it's usually every once in a while, though when one does hit it knocks Gohan down.

"The nightmares never leave you, you just learn to live with them and let them make you stronger, do not let them become a weakness." Vegeta's gruff voice surprised the group. It wasn't often he came down to join with breakfast so the fact he had paused his training this morning and even contributed to the conversation did not go unnoticed by the group.

The next big surprise was when Yamcha came out of Bulma's wing of the house in the same clothes Gohan saw him in the day before. Dr. Briefs and Panchy watched the scene with amusement, Gohan with slight confusion, Vegeta seemed to not care that he was there or came from Bulma's half of the house. Yamcha however once he saw that Vegeta was in the room along with everyone else was visibly nervous.

"Mmmm is that the smell of fresh coffee?" Bulma asked walking into the room with her hair still wrapped in a towel. She had assessed the situation in the room but seemed nonplussed about it, proceeding to sit next to Gohan while her mother handed her a cup of coffee. "So kiddo what brings you here this early, Goten head to Trunk's room has he? I swear those two boys would sleep all day of you let them."

"Morning Bulma yeah he did, um I need your help with something before school. I stopped a few robberies yesterday and even though I was Super Saiyan hoping people won't recognise me I was still in my school clothes, I was wondering if you could help me make a device that helped me change quickly?"

"Hmm that shouldn't be a problem, I don't think I'll be able to get it done before school, but I should have it done by the time you finish. Especially considering if you don't leave now you may be late on your second day."

Looking at the clock she realised Bulma was right. "Crap! Thanks Bulma, Catch you all later!" Gohan rushed sculling her coffee and jumped out the open balcony, luckily she had given Goten his goodbye kiss before he left to find Trunks, so she left without any interruptions.

Luckily there hadn't been any crimes being committed on her way to school and was able to land on school roof with 5 minutes to spare before the bell.

Working her way to the classroom Gohan noticed the school was full of chatter, it was so loud she was having trouble differentiating between peoples words. Luckily it wasn't as bad in her classroom, there was only one conversation that most of the class was contributing to that was dominated by Erasa and an angry Videl, by this stage Gohan was thinking her default emotion was angry and decided to brush it off and ignore it, like Erasa and Sharpner did, while the rest of the school just stayed clear.

"Oh my god the Gold fighter is so hot! I mean I'm not into girls but even I can see she is something else," Gohan had caught the end of Erasa's rant.

"She is just a vigilante wanna-be super hero who uses tricks to fight crime. I bet her hair is even a wig" Videl sneered.

Gohan took offence to that her hair was 100% real. Trying to ignore the jabs about herself that she over heard she schooled her features to her usual smile and greeted the group. "Hey guy, what are you all talking about?"

"Where have you been Brains?" After science class yesterday Sharpner had given Gohan the nickname Brains not very original but he never said it in a crude or mean way so Gohan didn't mind, it was better than 'kiddo' that the Z-fighter always called her, more unique. "We're talking about the Gold Fighter that popped up yesterday, some glowing fighter with gold hair and super strength she crushed 6 guns in her hands with no effort, a friend of mine caught it all on video," turning to Videl, "trust me Vi, it was no trick." Gohan had paled a bit at the mention of being recorded that did not go unnoticed by Videl, but Gohan thought she caught her features quick enough to pass it off as nothing.

Luckily Videl ignored Gohans response but kept watching her out the corner of her eye. "You just think she's hot that why you believe the tricks."

"Then how did she stop all those bullets hitting you and not get a scratch on herself? I saw that too we were in the crowd, they were real bullets." Erasa tried to reason.

"Whatever, I so had them." Videl huffed, Gohan was quiet this whole time, she was really liking Sharpner and Erasa as they didn't even know they were defending her and making it sound so pragmatic. Gohan couldn't help but blush and smile. This sadly was not missed by Videl who was watching Gohan trying to ignore the words of her friends.

The school day continued much like yesterday but today the teachers didn't even bother trying to call on Gohan as they knew from the day before she would not only answer them way too extensively but also correct them too much on the questions they were asking, this resulted in Gohan sleeping most of the day, which was starting to annoy a lot of her class mates until when questioned about it Gohan would explain she found the stuff extremely simple and had learned it years ago, offering to help them in their free periods so people were warming up to her, realising just cause she may be genius level smart, she was also humble, and apparently very tired.

Returning to Capsule Corp that afternoon Gohan was ecstatic to find Bulma had finished the project. It was a simple watch that would change her outfit to one pre-programmed without her having to change. The only thing left to do was design the outfit itself. Apparently Goten and Trunks had already been working on the design that they were very proud of and Bulma said she liked it but wouldn't program it until Gohan had given the okay.

Their design was honestly very well thought out for a 6 and 7 year-old. It was a skin tight black body suit in the Earth/Saiyan fabric Bulma created. Where the chest plate would normally be it was instead a loose fitting tunic that still showed off her feminine figure thanks to a white sash around her waist without showing off too much of her body and came to just below her bottom like a flowy skirt in a light sapphire blue colour. They had also added white battle boots and gloves. Gohan truly liked the design it seemed functional and aesthetically pleasing and simple she didn't want to change a thing.

Bulma had programmed the outfit into the watch, while that was happening the boy had run off to Kami know where, and Gohan just sat back to wait. Though one thing was on her mind, "Hey Bulma, why was Yamcha here this morning?"

"Oh.. uh… He came by early to talk about something."

"Huh, wonder why he was in the same clothing he had on yesterday." Said more to herself but Bulma caught it.

"Oh… Yeah… You see… He actually came by late last night and stayed the night."

Gohan wasn't as Naïve as people thought she was, she had eventually read those books hidden in her mothers wardrobe after the talk of love she had with BUlma and Panchy a few years back and knew at least in theory what happened when a man and a woman were attracted to each other, also that they had to be older than she was currently, well didn't have to be but Gohan couldn't see yourself doing those types of things with anyone yet, but having caught onto a few conversations between Erasa and other females of the class she knew some girls her age do so maybe it was a Sayian thing, she never saw her father of Vegeta show signs of wanting to do things like what she read about, but also had never asked them, nor did she really want to, it seemed too personal and interment.

"Do you see it being more than just a over night visit?" Gohan could tell Bulma was embarrassed being caught having a one-night stand with her ex but Gohan was trying to show she supported her decision, what ever it may be, she was a full grown 40ish year old woman.

"Honestly I don't know. We have a history but it's not the most trusting. We broke up those years ago becuase he cheated, but we were also young, I'm not going to make any rash decision yet. There, all done give it a try." Bulma handed over the watch and Gohan put it on and pushed the button.

There was a slight weightless feeling, then she was standing in front of the mirror looking awesome. Powering up to Super Saiyan to get the full effect, she figured she was known as the gold fighter so why not keep it that way. She had to admit she like the look of herself.

Just then Vegeta was walking past the office door with 2 demi-Saiyans wiggling in his hands, "Woman! Those brats are annoying me, why do they have to use up my time I'm training?!" Once he got a look at Gohan in her outfit he was speechless, he dropped the boys hard on the floor, Gohan even noticed a blush on his cheeks. Seeing that made her feel really good about herself and gave her a butterfly feeling in her stomach. The boys too were speechless they knew the outfit they designed was awesome but to see it as reality was something else.

"So, what do you think?" Bulma asked tentatively.

Bulma had also noticed Vegeta's look, there was a small part of her that was jealous as she was never able to get that response from him but at the same time she had resigned herself that he didn't feel that way about her and moved on and didn't see him the same way her 30 year old self did anymore but still felt something, she shared a kid with him for Kami sake. But if these looks were anything to go by she may need to talk to Vegeta about Earth customs and age gaps, even if his genetics made him look like he was still barely 30 and Gohan could easily pass as 20-something.

Clearing his throat, "You, you look good. More like a true Saiyan warrior than those other outfits you wear." His voice seemed to crack a little, that did not go unnoticed by the girls and he left just as abruptly as he came.

"Well, that was high praise coming from the prince of gruff stoicism if I ever heard one." Bulma commented, "So, you going to take the new outfit for a whirl?"

"Yeah I think I may, you okay to keep looking after Goten for me? I'll try to be quick."

"Of course, you are both welcome here for as long as you need. With that in mind, when you get back I want to have a talk with you."

"No mummy, we want to go with you! We promise we won't get in the way and will stay up on the roof tops like I did yesterday."

"Please?!" the pleaded together

"Oh okay, sure, as long as Bulma is okay with you following me." Gohan looked to Bulma who smiled and nodded, the trio smiled back and left through the window.

"Damn Saiyans! Use the doors next time!" She yelled after them.

After flying around Satan City for a few minutes the Hybrids finally found a crime being committed, a yellow car was speeding and swerving all over the road almost hitting other cars and pedestrians on the street, Gohan went over the ruled for the boys, that they either stay up in the sky or land on a high building and observe, before dropping to the street right in front of the car effectively stopping it. The drivers slammed on the breaks managing to stop millimetres from Gohan.

Trying to lower her voice so it would sound more mature, "Halt you fiends, driving on the road as you were could of caused some serious injuries to others and yourself."

The thugs got out of the car, they had a sickening lustful look in their eyes roaming up and down Gohan's body, but were also annoyed at their fun being stopped. "Who do you think you are missy, you think you can stop us?" The larger of the thugs walked up to her trying to intimidate her

Gohan stood her ground and looked up at the thug with unflinching eyes, "you should learn to respect the road rules sir." Before she could say more the large guy tried to make a grab for her, Gohan knowing he couldn't hurt her grabbed his hand twisting it and swiftly brought him to his knees in pain, this made the other thug start to tremble in fear, she was barely 5'4" and considered petite and she was able to bring a guy twice her size to his knees by grabbing his hand.

"Ow, Ow, Ow, we're sorry, please let me go.." the big guy pleaded.

Gohan not wanting to use excessive force let him go and he dropped lower to the ground the smaller man pulled out his gun to shoot Gohan as the bullet hit her head and ricochet off her without even a scratch, nor even a flinch from Gohan herself, it had both men stepping back in fear, "W-who are you?"

Gohan smiled, this was the stage she needed. She looked around and noticed the crowd that had gathered, some people even had their phone out recording.

"I am known as many names throughout the universe, Some call me The Monkey Princess, Some the Warrior, you Earthlings can call me The Gold Fighter." During her little speech Gohan let her Aura flare and the slight breeze from it gave her an ethereal appearance.

"Y-Your an alien?"

"Well half, born and raised here on Earth just been throughout the Galaxy cleaning it up, now I'm here to clean up the streets of this great planet."

"HA, good luck with that!" The thugs sneered, laughing at her, they were scared and knew she had power but her speech made them realise she couldn't be telling the truth, No one had been out to the far reaches of the galaxy, as far as Earthlings were concerned, they were the only life force in the universe, obviously they had forgotten the Saiyans attacking and King Piccolo.

"That's not very nice!" Gohan stomped her foot angrily creating a giant crack in the road resulting in the thugs car getting caught in it. Noticing the damage she was causing Gohan calmed down. "Opps.. Sorry, I forget my strength sometimes." Gohan walked up to the car, the thugs, back to being terrified of her, backed away at her approach, as she lifted the car up with one hand and placed it on the road away from the crack.

Letting the thugs go with a warning, she rose into the air assessing the scene, feeling proud of herself.

"Wow that was awesome Gohan!" Trunks vociferated.

Making their way back to Capsule Corp just in time for dinner everyone sat down to eat, Vegeta even joining them much to Trunk's excitement at his dad eating with them, spending the time trying to match his father plate for plate. When they had almost finished Bulma breached a subject she had been stewing over since Gohan decided to go to school.

"Gohan, I know you enjoy your independence out in the mountains and that you have done amazing looking after yourself and Goten but it is a long flight to do 5 time a week especially with a detour to here twice a day, so I was wondering if you two wanted to stay here on the weekdays, you would have your own apartment within the house like what trunks and I have on the same side that Vegeta stays, and before you reject it, keep in mind it would be easier for you both, and you can go home on weekends and school holidays." Bulma looked proud of herself for her proposal, looking around the table assessing the reactions, Goten and Trunks seemed ecstatic at the prospect of living together, those two were practically twins with how close they were. Vegeta had on a guarded expression that Bulma couldn't read, maybe it was because she offered the spare rooms over on the side of the house Vegeta had been occupying. Gohan on the other hand seemed to be really debating the proposal, also watching Goten and Trunk's excitement.

"Um, it's a great offer, and those are the same rooms we have stayed in a few times aren't they?" Bulma nodded, "It would only be for the year while I'm in school and the fact we can spend school holidays at grandpa's still I don't see why not, that would give me time to get a training session in before school now." Gohan was growing excited at the thought of it, she hadn't been able to do as much training as she was before this past week.

With that Gohan and Goten flew home to pack some clothing and knickknacks they would need for extended stays knowing that spare toiletries and alike were already there and would as of the next day officially be spending their school weeks at Capsule Corp.

TBC...

So, filling in the scenes I had written to work with what is already posted is taking me a bit as a lot of scenes are just things I wanted to happen but want the story to work and have continuity so the chapters may be a bit shorter than before but hopefully there isn't too long between updates. :) Enjoy.
