A totally alternate view of Chibi-usa's childhood.

extra note- I guess I should explain, before more people question me on what I write. We shall see in due time, just exactly why Trunks is acting the way he is. So, pffttt. =P Just kidding around, all in good humor.

Chapter 7

"Gohan is training... you?" Trunks asked.

"Hai." Usa replied coolly, as if it was no big deal. "Let's go to his house, so you can get your homework help!" She yanked on his arm and Trunks decided he might as well go with the girl. The two both took off for Gohan's home. Somehow during the walk Usa had ended up with her arm linked with Trunks' arm. However, she let go of his arm to spring up to Gohan's door and knock on it. No one came however.

"He's not home..." Usa whined and pouted. Trunks chuckled, and opened the door and walked right in. Usa blinked in surprise, but obediently followed pursuit and entered behind Trunks. Usa heard two voices and a shuffling of some sort, she also heard something, or someone hit the floor and grunt. In an instant the lights were on, Usa blinked her eyes trying to adjust to the light. She realized Trunks had flipped on the light switch. Her attention then turned to the people on the floor.

"Oh Gohan," Trunks said in a taunting voice, "You said you'd give me homework help and here I see, you're already giving someone else homework help!" Trunks began laughing. Usa stood there dumbfounded, she had no idea what to say, or do. She could only stare at the sight before her: Gohan and a girl with black hair in a tangle, obviously they were making out before Trunks had so cleverly turned the light on, on them.

"Trunks you idiot!" Gohan yelled with his fist clenched as he got up, leaving a dazed and confused Videl on the ground.

"Gohan," Videl whined, "Help me up for Kami's sake!" Gohan reached down and grabbed Videl and pulled her up roughly. It was then that he noticed Usa standing there. His eyes met with hers and he could almost swear there were tears welling up in them. She looked hurt and confused, but she quickly adverted her eyes away from his. Trunks not noticing Gohan and Usa's exchange continued on by walking over to Gohan,

"So, I hear you're training the onna, ne?" Trunks asked.

"Nani?!" Videl exclaimed, "Gohan-chan, what is he talking about?"

"None of your business Videl, and don't call me 'Gohan-chan'." Gohan snapped, giving her an icy stare.

Usa couldn't take this anymore, she had to leave. She had already cried once today, she wasn't about to cry again.

"I'm leaving," she said quietly and began to walk out the door.

"Usa-chan!" Gohan exclaimed, "Don't leave, it isn't what you think!"

Usa stopped instantly when Gohan had said 'Usa-chan'. He hadn't done that before and she didn't know what to think of it. She had, after all, just seen him on the floor, with a girl... and as she thought about the scene again, tears streamed down her face. She ran out the door, not looking back. She thought she heard Gohan yell her name again, but she didn't care, all she could think about was getting away from him and that scene that was still stuck in her head. She ran all the way back to the Son house, until she got to her room. She flung herself on the bed and cried herself to sleep.

Videl and Trunks were both very confused at the scene that had just happened before them. Trunks was scratching his head and looking thoughtfully at the door Usa had just ran out of and then back at Gohan. Videl, however was looking seriously pissed off.

"Gohan! Who is that girl?!" Videl screeched, turning beet red in the process. Gohan grimaced at her screeching. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He didn't know how he could have gotten himself into such a mess. Videl had just come over to pick up his Chemistry notes, that's all, but then she ended up staying for much longer. He clenched his fists and squeezed his eyes shut. He didn't even like her, well, he had liked her, but she was so annoying. And then, when Usa had come so interestingly into his life Videl had all but vanished, until tonight. Videl was still standing there, steaming when Gohan opened his eyes again. "So, are you going to tell me or not?!"

"She's a friend, her name is Usa." Gohan replied.

"Obviously! I'm not stupid Gohan! I heard you call her 'Usa-chan'! And you're training her? Gohan!"

"Videl, it's time for you to leave. Good-bye!" Gohan said as he pushed a still ranting Videl out of his door. He could still hear her yelling even after he closed the door. He sat down on the couch. He ran a hand through his hair and looked at Trunks.

"You ass-hole." he said. Trunks sat down on the couch next to Gohan.

"Hey, I didn't know you'd be making out with Videl and I definitely didn't know you had a thing going on with the Hime-chan." Trunks replied.

"I don't know why I was making out with Videl." Gohan stated plainly, "I don't even like her. She just came in her and started her whole flirting routine with me and before I knew it she was kissing me, and I just let her do it."

"And you kissed her back." Trunks stated.

"Can we drop this?" Gohan asked, obviously irritated with Trunks' remark.

"All right, all right.. So, what is up with the Hime-chan?" Trunks asked

"Usa?" Gohan remembered the look on her face and it hurt him to remember it. He wondered what could have been running through her mind when she had seen him with Videl. The thought actually disgusted him. "Wait a sec, Hime-chan?"

"Hai. She acts like a princess." Trunks replied.

"Yah, more than you know.." Gohan trailed off.

"You're training her, ne?"

"Yah," Gohan shook his head in despair. "But now what am I going to do? She's probably not even going to want to talk to me, or not even look at me." Gohan stood up, "I should go talk to her..."

Trunks stood up beside Gohan and placed his hand on his shoulder and looked thoughtful for a moment. "No. I would say going right now would just cause more trouble. Let her be for tonight. I'll tell you this, when I found her she already looked a bit shaken. Tomorrow, you should tell her the truth about you and Videl, maybe she'll understand."

"All right, I'll take your advice one last time," Gohan said grinningly.

"Hey! Don't remind me about that!" Trunks exclaimed.

"Okay, I won't," Gohan paused, "Trunks, do you mind if we have a study session some other night?"

"No problem." Trunks said and opened the front door, "I'll see you later buddy." 'And I'll see your Hime-chan before that,' he thought as he took off towards Capsule Corp.
