Three of them. All opers. A savage race that lived on a planet that was in constant winter. Gohan looked up in the black cold sky, and saw only the falling snow. No ship or sign of help.
The opers stomped forward on their huge elephant like feet, dragging their clubs behind them. The large red skinned one in the middle was obviously the leader and was not happy about Gohans suprise arrival. He let out a battle cry that sounded fammiliar to gurgeling water and raised it's club over it's head. It ran towards him and Gohan jumped out of the way but the other two were now moving as well.
The purple one, a short tempered female, ran up and skidded on the snow trying to capture Gohan in her massive hands. The blue young one who was letting off a terrible stench tried the same but only got a fist full of snow. The all were shouting angery and stampeeding to Gohan. He looked around franticly for his crew, for aid, but saw no one else. What was he doing out here alone.
"DE `vaciacha!"
Gohan spun around in time to see the red oper slam his club down on to him.

"Huh!?" Gohan jumped awake and looked around. He was still in the library and at the table he dozed off at. He looked down and saw open books spread across the table and he had drooled a little on one of the pages. He heaved a sigh and sat back.
He needed to get home. It was already dark out and the books hadn't been much help. The all told Gohan everything he already knew. The planet Reedor was a tropical planet, Shi14 was a red barren desert and Yova had a vary off all types of landscapes, but was mostly water and islands. Either on could be the place they all are tested on.
"Working late?"
Gohan turned and saw a pretty sayjin female with short brown hair. She smiled at him with her arms crossed. "You know it is never healthy to spend all day with books."
"And how do you know that, Pirrel?" Gohan asked.
Pirrel shrugged and sat down on the table edge. "Read it in a book."
Gohan reconized Pirrel as one of the only females ever to reach Hebi rank full out before. She was a nice low level who was working towards being a wepon specialist. Since wepon experts were rare on the planet Vegeta, she already had offers to go to an elite team. She was also Mames mate.
"So how are things going? Will I be soon calling you Represenitive? Or be at your grave when your body is carted back?" she asked in her open way.
"Ha ha. Hilarious. Where is that big bruit mate of yours at?" Gohan looked around. "Shouldn't he be working on the-"
Pirrel reached out and smacked him in the back of the head. "This is holiday! A time to relax and pick a fight or two. Not spoil the fun with over studying. Besides, Mame said you had a girl to get to."
Gohan looked down at the black print in the books. "Well I don't."
She angled her head and tried to get him to look her in the face. She suddenly burst out laughing. "I think someone is sour because he's not getting any."
He dropped his book and looked at her with his cheeks going red. "No-NO! It's not like that. Er- well yeah it is but- mind your own business!" He went back to his book. His face felt so warm he was sure he was redder than blood.
Pirrel slipped off the table. "I have to go get off now." She walked behind him and leaned close. "I suggest you do the same."
Gohan listened to her shoes click on the floor as she walked away. He glanced at his watch and then at the large clock in the library. He got up and picked up his books and papers, shoving then in his satchel.
He ran out the building and took flight into the air. In half a minute he was landing on his front door. He went inside and looked around. The room was quiet and he heard nothing. Correction : No one. He sniffed the air and smelt no food cooking. Videl was usualy busy in the kitchen by now.
"Hello?" he called as he walked through the house. "Videl?" He checked the kitchen and then his room. No one there. He went to the ladder and climbed up and opened the hatch to her room. It was empty. Only her bed and dresser was there. He slid back down as he heard the front door open.
Gohan walked over and Videl came in carrying baskets of food. She smiled at him.
"Hey," she said getting up on her tip toes to kiss him on his cheek. "Your brother came by and ate everything so I had to go shopping." She went into the kitchen and started putting away the food. "I saw my friend Qupr, the qualeese, and she was telling me how thr tournomet in three days will be the social event of the decade. She said most of the eleits will be there as will the King and his family. So I picked up some new material to make a new fighting outfit. I can't show up in these rags."
"Slow down." Gohan said. "You're no longer mad at me?"
"For what?"
"For telling my mom that, well for NOT telling her that we're mates." Gohan said. "You've been so distant lately."
"That's because you've been studying so much when I need you to help me train." Videl said turning around to face him. "Besides, we should make the best of the time we have left." She kissed him softly on the lips."
"Who are ytou and where is Videl?" Gohan asked in a daze. What is she up to? he wondered.
Videl just winked. "Gotens really nice. Strong too."

Gohan paced back and forth in his bedroom later that night. He had taken off his armor and shirt but still wore his black pants. He knew something was off in the way Videl was acting. It was as if she was plotting something. Gohan shook his head. He was getting too parinoid in his years. He needed to concentrat on the tournoment. She was right, he had been helping her less. That's is why he planned on waking her up fist thing in the morning and taking her out to train. He had only three days left to train her and make sure she'll last for the three rounds needed to win her freedom. Gohan also had to find time to practice on different feilds for the Saru final test.
He fell back onto his bed and tugged off the rest of his clothes and pulled up the covers. He needed rest. Lots of rest. Three days left with Videl. Then she'd be free nad out of his life. Maybe there was a way to make it longer.
