By that evening Gohan was feeling quiet restless. She didn't understand why. Crime had been on an all time low lately, so low not even Videl had been called out of class much. Either way the spar in the morning wasn't enough for her today, on her way back to Capsule Corp. Gohan saw smoke coming from the distance. It was coming from the far side of town.

When she got there, she was astounded there was anyone alive. The fire had taken hold of a 40-story building, it had trapped close to 60 people on the roof with no way of evacuating as a helicopter couldn't get close enough. Gohan soared above the building to assess the situation. Fire fighters were fighting the fire as best they could, but it was too extreme for just hoses, that's when she spotted Videl on the roof along with the rest of them when the roof started to collapse Gohan watched at the water tank that Videl was near fell into the crack and started to fall towards her. Thinking quick she flew in and stopped the building. The heat coming from the fire was almost too much for even Gohan, how any of these people were still alive was a miracle.

Once Videl realised she wasn't going to be crushed to death she looked up to see the Gold fighter holding the water tank in mid-air, as she placed the tank down on more stable ground. "Gold fighter! For once I'm happy to see you, this tank has enough water to douse the fire enough to get these people off the roof before the building collapses, but I can't open it."

"Say no more." Gohan proceeded to effortlessly punch a hole in the bottom of the tank and ripped it wide enough for the water to gush out. Once the fire was out enough a helicopter came in to escort the trapped civilians off, Gohan helped as well flying the more injured ones down. By the time they got everyone off the building had been completely put out Gohan was helping a little girl find her mum once she thought the coast was clear she went to take off, before she could, Videl called out to her.

"Wait, Gold Fighter! Wait," Gohan turned around to see Videl running up to her. "Uh, I just wanted to say, um, I'm sorry, for all the times I yelled at you, demanding to know who you are, I was just angry someone came along and can do what you do, I guess, um, I, I'm sorry. Uh.. Thank you."

Smiling at her struggle to get the words out, Gohan knew they were sincere as Videl did not admit mistakes, this was a new development. "You're welcome, I never wanted to make it seem I was taking your job, I just wanted to help. For a human you are brave, not just anyone would jump on a burning building knowing it would be a slim chance they could succeed at saving so many lives. I would prefer to work together; would that be easier?"

"Yeah, I guess, I'll try to reframe from getting all in your face about your identity, but that won't stop me from figuring it out."

"That's fine, I won't tell you who I really am, I like my family having their privacy, doing this is my decision and I don't want them pulled into it, but I guess I could give a little hint, I've been around for a long time. If you promise you won't post it all online or go public with it I may give you hint as to who I am." Gohan teased, she knew Videl as Gohan would be trust worthy so far. If she found out who the Gold Fighter really was would she loose Videl as a friend or would it be okay, she really couldn't just tell Videl who she was. She probably wouldn't believe her anyway, but if she gave her a hint and that lead to her finding out who she was then hopefully, no harm.

"I don't want to share it with the world, I just want to know who has been helping me so much. Promise."

"Okay, like I said I can't tell you my name, but I can give you a hint, it started with East City."

"But East city was destroyed over 10 years ago…"

"Yes, but it all started there. Hope that helps." Gohan flew off into the sunset, away from her original destination but that was just to throw off any people who may be recording her, that had been going up each time she made an appearance, plus she thought it looked cool

Once she was high into the clouds she powered down and flew towards Capsule Corp. Hopefully she hadn't missed dinner.


Friday rolled around and that morning Bulma had told Gohan that she would be coming to the school to give a presentation to the senior class about internships at Capsule Corp. When Gohan heard that, she was so happy she had told her friends about where she lived so if Bulma let anything slip she knew she wouldn't risk losing the only friends her age she had made.

By the time of lunch though, Gohan was getting nervous about it. Her friends knew but not the rest of the class and knowing Bulma she would do something that would put Gohan at the centre of attention.

"Hey Gohan, I'm having a lot of trouble with what we are studying in Maths and with the big test coming up Monday is it okay of we have a study session this weekend? I know you're really busy and don't normally spend weekends in the city. But I'm willing to come to yours which ever house it is. It's just I can't afford to fail this test. If I don't get at least a 75% there is a good chance I won't get the grades to get into the University I want." Erasa pleaded, interrupting Gohan's musings.

"Well I don't see a problem with it. I was planning on visiting my Grandpa this weekend with Goten so if you don't mind a cram session tonight, I can help you make a formula sheet that will actually work for you, it should be fine. Do you mind if we have it at Capsule Corp.? I know it's a 45-minute flight on average I just can't expect Bulma to look after Goten all day and night."

"Yeah that's fine. If we leave right after the presentation then great."

"Okay, do you two want to join the study session too?" Gohan asked her other friends.

"I thought it was a given if you tutor my sister you tutor me too," Sharpner replied.

"That would help a lot I am falling behind too. My copter is a bit small for all 4 of us though so we may need to take 2 cars. What do you drive Gohan?"

'Crap, I forgot about that they think I drive. Think quick'. "Um well I'm only 16, so mines a bit slower than yours I got special permission to be able to drive a one-person copter, I only got the licence thanks to Bulma, they put a limiter on how fast it can go though. But I'll message Bulma she will be here later anyway and I'm sure she will have one big enough for all of us."

"WHAT! You mean THE Bulma Briefs is the one giving the presentation today?! I thought it would just be some employee from the company! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! Not only are we going to Capsule Corp but will meet the legend herself! I could die happy after today." Erasa gushed.


Their double period P.E. class was cut short to make time for Bulma's presentation during the rest of the school day. Needless to say, when Bulma walked into the Gym to give it, the whole senior class erupted into applause and talking. It took nearly 10 minutes before she was finally able to start. It was essentially a recruiting presentation for students going to University to get a good reference towards their resumes for when they graduated. And the fact they had 5 places opening up next year they decided to have it open to Orange Star High and West City high students. As Gohan was technically already an unofficial employee of Capsule Corp. and was paid nicely for her inventions she wouldn't bother signing up, but it did make her think she needed to start putting more effort into finishing a few experiments she had going.

When Bulma called Gohan out at the end of the presentation by name and hugged her it got the whole class talking again. Gohan could hear them, all the whisperings of, 'how could a country nerd know the Bulma Briefs and The Yamcha'. Not that she cared.

"So kiddo, any boys in these classes that might be good enough for the strongest being in the universe?" She asked quietly while the rest of the class filed out of the gym.

"Nah, they are all weaker than even Yamcha. But according to Sharpner there is a bet on who can get the first date out of me."

"Ha-ha. Kami, I'd love to see that. Anyways I know you have a faster way home but want a lift?"

"Yeah that would be good. Mind if I bring some friends with me for a study session and dinner?"

"Like you need to ask. So.. where are they?" Gohan lead Bulma to her small group to introduce them.

"Bulma this is Erasa, Sharpner and Videl."

"Nice to meet you all. Now, you ready for the fastest ride you'll ever have? I drive fast." Bulma enthused with a wink.

Erasa could barely contain her excitement while Sharpner had his flirt face on. Videl on the other hand was very reserved. Little did Gohan know but she was glad she didn't give Bulma her last name as Capsule Corp. and Videl's father did not have a good relationship, Videl didn't know why but her copter was only as good as it was because it was brought through the police department, when her father tried to buy the latest fastest model that was yet to be released to the public he was refused, no amount of money would budge them, but Videl didn't know why the Satan name didn't have any sway over this company, she didn't mind so much, it just confused her, obviously there was a history behind it but no one would tell her, especially not her father, it did how ever make her father try and discredit them but as they lead the technology industry nothing her father did had any effect, it was one of the few situations that made her realise her fathers fame had gone to his head too much.

The flight over was filled with polite conversation mostly dominated by Erasa asking Bulma all about her wardrobe and other questions along those lines.

When Gohan jumped in. "Who's looking after the boys if your parents went on a holiday yesterday?"

"Oh! Funny thing. I managed to get Vegeta to watch them. He lives in the house rent free the least he can do is watch his son and your son for a few hours."

"Wow, how did you manage to convince him to do that?"

"I had to bribe him a bit. My original tactic didn't work but eventually I found what would be a good one."

"Oh okay, that will be funny to see. I'm still curious what you promised him, but I'll drop it for now."

They arrived in 25 minutes opposed to the usual 45 it would take with the fastest copter on the market. Being the owner/designer of the worlds leading technology has its perks. As soon as Gohan was out of the vehicle the front door opened and Vegeta came out carrying the 2 young demi-Saiyans looking more annoyed than usual, he looked like he was going to say something but stopped when he saw the 3 strangers get out of the copter.

"There your problem now," dropping them on the ground and going back to the house in a huff.

"Mummy!" Goten yelled running towards Gohan. Trunks was too old and too cool with his father still close enough, to show that kind of emotion but Gohan could see it was hard for him to hold back as he usually greeted her in a similar way to Goten.

"What did you two devils' do to make him this mad, this time?" Gohan asked with amusement coming from her voice.

"Nothing we were just in the G.R. having fun. Promise."

"Sure you were. Anyway, I want you to meet some friends of mine. This is Erasa, Videl and Sharpner, they're here to study with me."

"Does that mean we can't play this afternoon? But you promised."

"I know squirt but it's for school. We can play after dinner, before bed okay?"

"Okay. I'll be good and wait." Goten sulked.

While Gohan was talking to Goten the 3 friends noticed something brown and furry waving in the air intune to what the young boy was saying, looking at each other then back at the small family they didn't know what to make of it.

Goten proceeded to run inside the house with Trunks to where they had no idea.

"Wow Gohan, I know you told us all about being a mum before but there was a part of me that was thinking you were lying, seeing you two together I can see now. I feel really bad for doubting you, it can't of been easy." Videl said quietly as they were setting up in Gohan's wing of the house. This part of the house had a common living area with a small kitchenette with 2 rooms on each side, one for Gohan one for Goten, though Goten tended to come and sleep in Gohan's bed a lot and Vegeta's was over the other side of the room. The fourth was a spare next to Vegeta's but Vegeta barely tolerated Gohan and Goten there so no one slept in it. Each room had a full en-suit in it, the other side of the house where Bulma and Trunks lived was similar set up, but they had the full kitchen and dining area, while Dr. Briefs and Panchy had the rooms above, the space between Gohan's rooms and the rest of the family's was the G.R and Bulma personal workshop, while the factory and company were run on the lower floors to the front of the building, so they were pretty isolated in that part. Perfect for studying in semi quietness.

"Um, I don't want to be rude asking but was that a tail we saw on Goten's back? Is it real?" Erasa asked nervously.

"Uh yeah he was born with it, so was I and my father, it's a rare trait." Gohan answered, she knew it wasn't normal for humans to have a tail but she wasn't ashamed of it either so figured if she answered like it was a nothing situation maybe it would be accepted easier.

"So what happened to yours?" Sharpner asked.

"It was cut off in a fight when I was little. It was really handy having one. Anyway we are here to study." Gohan tried to move the conversation away.


They had gotten quite a few good hours study in before dinner was served, during dinner Vegeta decided to join them. It was a rare occasion for him to join when they had guests. Trunks was putting on his tough guy act for his dad but Vegeta was scowling at Sharpner instead of seeing what Trunks was doing, so much that Trunks gave up, while Sharpner was trying not to notice but the power coming off of Vegeta had him visibly scared. Eventually Gohan stepped up to save him.

"Vegeta, would you quit staring at him, what's your problem?"

"Why did you bring boy here?"

"Well he is a friend and I'm helping him out along with the two other people here? Why's it matter to you?"

"Humph" Abruptly Vegeta got up and walked away leaving some of his food, which was quickly taken by Trunks and Goten.

"Geeze what's he's problem?" Videl asked.

"No idea," Gohan replied staring at the door he went out of confused and a little worried, Vegeta was anti-social but this seemed hostile. "Sorry about him Sharpner, he's not from around here, he comes from a very traditional family from a old almost forgotten culture, so some of our customs are weird for him." 'Please buy that nonsense'

"That's okay," he laughed nervously, "he definitely knows how to stare you down. I thought there was going to be a hole in the side of my head by the end of it."

'if I let it go on any further I wouldn't be surprised it he did somehow start shooting lasers out of his eyes at him. I've got to talk to him about it later, something must be bothering him.' Gohan thought.

"Don't worry about Mr. Grumpy pants, like Gohan said he's still getting accustomed to how we do things, and he's a bit territorial. We may live together and share a son but that's about as far as that goes, though anyone would think he owns the place with how he acts. HA." Bulma added.

The three of them didn't stay for long after dinner but Gohan was okay with that, she had a tired little Saiyan to tuck in and a grumpy big Saiyan to talk to.

After Goten was in bed Gohan set out to find Vegeta, though his room was closer she thought to try the G.R. first, it seemed more logical. Though when she got there it was turned off and empty. Next she tried his bedroom, knocking first she didn't hear anything she opened the door a bit and called to him, still no answer, walking in a bit more she heard the water turn off, turning towards the bathroom door she saw a very naked Vegeta with just a towel slung low on his hips.

"Kakabrat, what do you want?" Before she could reply he continued. "Doesn't matter, get out."

"I'm not leaving Vegeta, I want to talk."

"*grunt* what about?"

"Why were you so hostile at dinner tonight? You know Trunks loves it when you join for meals but the whole time you were there it was like you just wanted to kill Sharpner, what did he do to you?"

Vegeta didn't answer right away, when he did it was with another question. "You planning on mating with the weakling?"

"Huh?! Why would you think that? He's just another Yamcha, a friend. And if I was why would that bother you so much?"

"It.. uh.. it doesn't, your at the age where you will be looking for your first mate, and of one that is worthy, you may even stay with them. He is not worthy."

"Oh, and what's that based off? His strength? A connection between us? What would you know about what I'm attracted to? Again, why do you care so much?" Gohan was getting frustrated this conversation it was getting personal and yet not going anywhere.

Vegeta was getting frustrated as well, he didn't know what to say, why did he care, was it just cause she was the last female Saiyan and a strong one at that, that was finally at an age where they could mate. Or was it more, Saiyans didn't always mate for life, it was a choice a few made, though Vegeta being born in the royal family knew if he was to choose a mate he would keep them for life, the Woman didn't count it was a night of alcohol and lust that quickly died the day after, the fact she ended up carrying his offspring was a mild bonus, the first ever Saiyan royal with purple hair. His father would turn in his grave if he had one. Plus she let him stay in her house and feed him, he just couldn't bring himself to be more attracted to her, she was attractive for a human but not enough for Vegeta to fully mate with her, he respected the Woman but couldn't see her in a more intimate state. But this Woman in front of him he felt a pull to her. Not just in his loins but in his heart, the thought of her choosing to mate with anyone else or even another male touching her made his blood boil.

Without thinking, she was staring at him, those dark eyes, the sweet lips, he found himself moving towards her on instinct. Slowly his hands moved on their own reaching up and pushing some hair off her face, trailing his fingers down the side of her face to stop at her soft bottom lip.

"Vegeta?" Gohan whispered, she too had been entranced by the act.

His name on her lips nearly undone him, pulling himself together he turned away in hopes she wouldn't see his arousal. "Goodnight, Gohan." Picking up his pants he returned to the bathroom.

Gohan took a few moments to collect herself, before leaving the room and going to bed, she felt restless after feeling so right with him so close.


TBC...

So it's clear I have chosen a pairing, I couldn't stay away from it, I like them so much even if Gohan wasn't female in this story. I know there are quiet a few years between them but considering in this story Saiyans age a lot slower Vegeta will still look mid 30's for many years, and though Gohan aged quickly now she is at a mature age will also age slowly, making them look similar in age. Plus though it is uncommon and not normal in most societies my I know a few couples that are 15-25 years apart in age and they are a great loving couples, and I don't see it as weird, so they may be destined to be together but I won't actually write any underage lemony stuff. Because they can wait till Gohan is over 18 even if the consent age in most Australia is 16, Vegeta may be rude, brass and a little bit arrogant but he is a gentleman. :)

As for the tail thing, I hadn't brought it up before till it was pointed out by gaara king of the sand that I hadn't actually addressed the fact of if Goten was or wasn't born with one, so I made the decision that he was and Gohan didn't even think about cutting it off, Gohan didn't see an issue with it as Piccolo had destroyed the moon and it hasn't been wished back yet, and if it was she was confident he could learn to control it. :)
