Year 774, April

The end of her first term rolled around, Gohan had done pretty well, she thought, on her assignment on herself, proving she is a real person and not just an actress. Before she went to her Grandfathers official files she did a web search on herself. Turns out, no wonder she was considered a conspiracy Bulma had locked a lot of information on her, even her full name from public records. As well as a lot of records on her father and his friends, only the basics were still there.

Luckily she had access to all the official records. She added in her assignment that she visited the Ox-Kingdom and got some of their records from the town hall to prove she was a real person as well as a few photos. As well as a few official 'statements' from some staff using their names to make it legitimate. Before listing all references. She had it finished rather quickly but decided to hand it in the day it was due, no way would the teacher believe her report done to that detail would be completed so quickly. She only hoped none of her class mates found out that there was only 2 Son Gohan's in history and one was the Princess of the Ox-Kingdom and the other died long before she was born.

Her friends looked like their reports were pretty exstensive too, and when all the end of term exams came back it was clear that anyone whom got tutoring from Gohan had excelled in the exams and had boosted the classes score. Gohan tried to brush off the thanks by saying she just helped them understand the knowledge they already had but it didn't seem to stop them, add to it Gohan's perfect score in every subject their class was sitting on the top of the ladder, as well as Gohan being top of the country. She was so glad that it was a 2 week holiday after today, she could spend more then 2 nights out at their home and spend time with her Grandfather, he did mention a few important state dinners and meetings that he would like her attendance at over the next 2 weeks, including a dinner with King Furry. Mrs Pincell had tried to arrange all important matters that would be useful for Gohan to be there over the next 2 weeks knowing she would be on holidays.

Gohan sort of hoped there would be a crime after school so she could inform Videl that 'the Gold Fighter' would not be making many appearances unless absolutely necessary. Gohan hadn't figured out how she would be able to deem them emergencies but would hopefully figure out a way before the next crime happened.

By lunch Erasa was gushing about finally going to see their mum, but Gohan was too absorbed in eating and thinking about the encounter with Vegeta 2 weeks ago. It still unnerved Gohan how he was able to get that reaction out of her, any other boy that has gotten into her personal space was met with the urge to knock them away not lean into their embrace. By last period science class Gohan was stressing a bit about it, thinking the time away from Capsule Corp. couldn't come sooner, even if Goten ended up wanting to spend some days there it didn't mean Gohan had to.

When Videl's watch went off early into the class everyone stopped why she took the call. It wounded more serious then the normal distress calls, leading Gohan to search out the emergency, the Chief said Town Hall, so she searched in that direction and found 1 very large Ki and lots of smaller hostile ones, the large one was a rival for Videl's power for a person who had no use of Ki. There was no doubt in her mind she would have to help her. The Hybrid waited until she felt Videl's Ki get to the site then pretended her phone was going off and asked to be excused. Luckily it was so late in the day and after Gohan's exams scores the teacher didn't argue, just handed her the worksheets she wanted done knowing Gohan wouldn't be back to class after the call.

Making her way as the Gold Fighter to the crime site she assessed it from above, the thugs calling themselves the Red Shark Gang were demanding Videl's father to come fight their leader, calling him a liar and wanting to prove he wasn't anything special. Videl bravely stepped up. "My father is a busy man, he has no time for false accusations and all that, so how about you fight me instead."

Gohan was thinking she was just being foolish, she knew Videl was strong but not against a man as strong as her and his 10 employees whom also had the Mayor held hostage. When she descended into the scene Videl yelled to her, "Don't interfere Gold fighter. You aren't needed here." Though she said it loudly it didn't have the same edge to it like she used to. Improvement.

"That's okay I'm just here in case, you take the thugs I'll free the Mayor."

Suddenly the thugs attacked and Gohan only attacked the ones that attacked her on her way to getting the Mayor. Untying him swiftly a thug came out from behind the building carrying a bazooka and fired it straight at her and the Mayor, the Mayor cowered behind her and she could swear she smelt urine but Gohan ignored it and used an invisible Ki to push it back towards the thug, "I think you should have this back," letting it explode close to the man but hopefully not kill him. Gohan picked up the fainted Mayor and flew him over to the Police and behind the barrier to safety. When she looked over to Videl she was fighting the big boss, he had her in a head lock and it looked like she might be losing, Gohan moved to interfere when Videl managed to get the upper hand and knock him down.

As they were escorting him and his thugs to the cop cars he looked Gohan in the face and said, "I thought you would be happy to have the liar outed you are her, the Delivery Kid. You've proved they weren't tricks and that there was no way a loser like him would defeat anyone." He couldn't say anymore as the cop pushed him into the car and read him his rights.

Gohan couldn't respond she just watched him. 'There were people who thought that? He apparently did that to prove Mr Satan lied' She couldn't comprehend it, she didn't want people doing this in her supposed name they gave her after fighting Cell. Videl chose that time to make her presence known.

"He thinks it too," Gohan turned around to look at her with a deer caught in headlights look, "The clue you sent me on, it hasn't turned up much but there were a few old news clips it was a young girl among the fighting before it was cut off, with a lot of the same people showing up in the short footage of the cell games, then there was the fact my dad was knocked out of the ring almost instantly, and I can tell now those things you do aren't tricks. I don't have all the answers yet, I don't know your name, but I am still determined to find it."

"I know, that's more then I thought you'd find in such a short amount of time. A promise is a promise though. On a similar note I won't be able to show up for a while, if you need need call this number and I'll try and come as soon as I can." She handed her a random number she would have to have Bulma program into the watch to indicate she was being called, when she got back.

"Oh, okay, thanks, I'm sure we won't need you but thanks for the heads up?"

Gohan just nodded her head at Videl and took off. She was eager to start her school holidays and school was already over luckily Gohan had taken her stuff with her and dumped them on a roof before attending the scene. Flying off to start her holidays, she was going home even if it was by herself for a few days if Goten didn't want to come for the whole time, though she was sure he would, given she hasn't been able to spend as much time with him lately.

Videl P.O.V.

As she watched the Gold Fighter fly away, she was thinking over the research she had done so far, surprising her the research for her History assignment had helped towards her finding out the identity of the Gold Fighter. As she got home she went over the information she had found, though some of her research helped her or had points that linked with her assignment on the Ox-Kingdom family she was unable to add it to the assignment so she put a pause on it to finish it off, now though she had the time outside of fighting crime to research as much as she wants.

Starting with East City like she was told she had found a lot of theories and conspiracies. But what really stumped her was a few news clips still floating around these, to prove that they weren't conspiracies, there was an interview with a fat guy calling himself the leader of the Earth Special forces, during the chaos after the town was obliterated. Videl doesn't remember much from that time she was only 6 but to this day it wasn't rebuilt, it was one tragedy the people didn't come back from, yet many forget it. She then found another clip of a close-up of the group fighting, it was a panning shot there was a guy with long hair that looked like a younger Yamcha, a small floating clown, a tall guy with 3 eyes, a large green man that looked like the pictures of King Piccolo, another short guy in an orange Gi that looked awfully familiar to someone she saw before but couldn't think of who and in the middle was a little kid no older than herself at that time maybe even younger. With 2 more people in weird uniforms a tall buff one and shorter one that had hair similar to that rude guy that lives at Capsule Corp.

The video didn't last long before there was a large flash after the big guy lifted his hand towards the camera. Though another theorist had a video that looked like it was happening at the same time, it showed the same scene at a different angle but around the time a big flash came towards the camera, this one showed a beam of light coming from the big bald guy. When the camera looked over to the other helicopter it was gone.

'Dad always said they were tricks, bombs planted before the games, but I've seen the Gold Fighter do them and thought maybe it was a personal devise, now I'm not so sure, these guys are supposed to be aliens the video clips show their supposed space ships, it was broadcast on the news back in the day, now it is only on conspiracy sites, that can't be a coincident. There is no way if these people are aliens that they could of planted bombs beforehand, and what of these fighters they looked familiar, why didn't I see it before.' Videl remembered her copy of the cell games she recorded, her dad didn't know about it as afterwards he had all copies removed from the public if he knew she had a copy of the uncut live footage that sometimes pops up than he would smash it. Going to her lock safe she took it out and put it in, luckily her father was out for the night, not that that was anything out of the ordinary.

She did however put her headphones on and used her editing equipment that she brought one day on a whim to help with the sound around it. Watching the scene of the people arriving she saw a buffer yet looks exactly the same age as the spiky hair 'alien' from the East City conspiracy and matches the look of the guy whom lives at Capsule Corp. Next was a tall person rock up with a red mohawk that told the reporter to leave. Then the rest of the group came and it was the same ones from the news clips, there was the 3-eyes one the green one, the guy who could possibly be Yamcha Bandit, a short guy in an orange Gi,, this time there was 3 other people she hadn't seen before, an tall guy with blonde hair and also in an orange Gi the same as the short bald one, a purple-haired guy in same outfit as the spiky haired one and a kid, a girl same age as she was, the time line lined up so if there was a 5ish year old kid at the East City conspiracy site and a 10ish year old kid, though she could be 13-14 at the Cell games it was a good bet they were the same kid except this one had blonde hair. Videl was beyond confused, has no one else remembered enough to make the connection, or did they just not care.

She continued to watch the games once more, through her fathers humiliating knockout and lame explanation to the reporter and the fight with the older blonde hair guy, he had the same techniques as the Gold Fighter, and she was really starting to think these weren't planted bombs or tricks as she had seen the Gold Fighter fly around in an outfit that was so tight there was no way she was concealing anything. After the ring got blown up the fighting stopped, the blonde fighter said something, but it wasn't loud enough for the camera, so Videl re-winded and listened again with the volume all the way up, it was still quiet, but she could hear the conversation.

'"I'm done."

"What! The fight isn't over yet! If you don't continue there are no more fighters, I'll just blow up with entire world is that what you want!?"

"I can't fight any more Cell but there is another fighter far stronger than me. It's your turn Gohan!"

"Gohan!?" Everyone including Cell yelled at once. As the battered fighter went and landed in front of the little girl after some quiet words the little girl went out to fight.'

"GOHAN! There's no way they just called the little blonde girl Gohan, some of the conspiracy videos that had audio had called the little kid there Gohan as well. Though it was hard to hear it, it definitely sounded like it. If they are the same people that kid is the same, the people in the video can turn on and off the blonde hair… So, does that mean the Gold fighter can as well?" Videl didn't want to believe her hew friend and the Gold Fighter were the same person, a single teenage mother with a son that has a tail. So she did the next best thing she researched the name 'Gohan'.

Putting in just the name Gohan would be a long shot, but she didn't have much else to go on. The search came up with a definition of 'Gohan ' meaning rice, and a few public posts on an old guy called Son Gohan and his participation in the WMAT, and one statement from the Ox-Kingdom saying a Princess had been born to the name Son Gohan. She couldn't find any more Gohan's in history and whatever else may of come up was blocked by the government. 'Not helping quell conspiracies there guys. But it was so obvious now why didn't I see it when doing my research on the Ox-Kingdom I looked up the king and his daughter's names, the fact she participated in the 23rd WMAT and married the winner a Son Goku and had a daughter. Maybe I should do more research before confronting her, but it's pretty obvious the small girl at East City, the girl at the Cell games and the Gold fighter are the Ox-Princess now I have to confront Gohan and see if she is all of them.'

Videl thought more on it, all the pieces just lined up, she had backed off being relentless in asking Gohan questions knowing she would open up eventually, but why hadn't she told her all this? Videl was excited to think she had the answers but angry that Gohan didn't feel she could tell her; did she not trust her? But trusted her enough to give her clues.

Pulling up some of the older footage of the Gold fighter from the streaming site, her first official appearance and listened to the audio, it was very far away but she was projecting her voice.

'The smaller man pulled out his gun to shoot Gohan as the bullet hit her head and ricochet off her without even a scratch, it had both men stepping back in fear, "W-who are you?"

Gohan smiled. She looked around and noticed the crowd that had gathered.

"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 and alien?"

"Well half, born and raised here on Earth."'

Videl just sat there trying to comprehend what was happening a girl she was starting to consider a good friend had just said she was an alien, though it wasn't so far-fetched, her baby brother/son has a tail, her father had a tail as a kid, and Gohan had admitted she had a tail before. Tails like that are not a human trait. 'if all this is true then that means the Gohan we have been getting to know is a teenage mother, a strong fighter, can fly and shoot lasers, can turn her hair blonde is half alien and a Princess that is in line to be queen. Well no wonder she likes her privacy and has kept most of it hidden' After putting all the points together Videl's anger disappeared a fair bit, though she did want more proof, Erasa and Sharpner's mum works at the palace and they were going to spend a week with her over the holidays leaving tomorrow, maybe they will let her come still, they did ask her.

Picking up her phone she called Erasa. "Hey Rase, um, are you still wanting me to come with you to see your mum? After thinking about it and all the research we did I'd really like to at least see the palace maybe we can prove Gohan's assignment right and get to meet the princess herself?"

"Of course! That sounds amazing, mum did say the Princess was going to be there though she will be busy, I'm still not sure what mum's roll in the palace is but she seems to know her stuff, we're leaving at 10am so be at ours by then okay?"

After they hung up Videl began to pack and sent her father and the Police force a message informing her she would be out of town for a week. 'A part of me wishes this is all wrong, cause if it's real then Gohan has had a worse life than me, or what I thought I was having was bad. I wonder if she can teach me how to fly?'
