A/N: Let's see where this storyline goes ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yeah! Graduation baby!!" Trunks yelled at the top of his lungs. Lil Tak proceeded to slap his forehead once more.
"Trunks, you've said that a million times this morning!" Lil Tak said.
"And…what's your point?" Trunks asked. Lil Tak face-faulted.
"Why do I even bother?" Lil Tak muttered. They walked into the lunchroom and sat down with the rest of the gang.
"Graduation baby!!" Trunks yelled again. Lil Tak let his head land on the table.
"He's been doing that all morning, huh?" Goten asked. Lil Tak nodded.
"Let me guess, you watched the Austin Powers marathon last night." Juliana said, adjusting her glasses.
"Yeah baby!" Trunks said, doing a good impression of Austin Powers.
"…Anyway, what does this school do for graduation?" Brighton asked.
"Well, there's a dance." Juliana said. All four boys suddenly paled. "And then we get off school two weeks early."
"Yeah baby!" Trunks said, pumping his fist into the air.
"Then," Juliana continued, obviously annoyed that Trunks had interrupted her. "We go to a ceremony where we wear gowns, those hats and get our junior high diplomas."
"Groovy baby!!" Trunks and Goten crowed as they high-fived each other.
"Oy vey…" Lil Tak muttered.
"I don't see what the big point is." CJ said.
"Here we go, a cynical view brought to you by CJ Fujitaka." Trunks sighed.
"I mean, what are you gonna do with a junior high school diploma. The best thing you can get with that is a job at a fast food joint. I mean, why give you a certificate that says 'you finished this part of your education only because it was mandatory' it's a total gip." CJ said.
"You just took all the fun out of it…" Goten said, a sad expression crossing his face. Juliana suddenly started to snicker.
"And what in the blue hell is so funny?" CJ asked.
"That's not why you're dreading the ceremony. You're dreading it because everyone will finally know your first name!" Juliana declared. The others gasped.
"Nuh uh!" CJ replied.
"Yah huh! We'll finally get to know what the C in CJ stands for and there is nothing you can do about it." Juliana said, smirking evilly.
"Finally, luck falls in my favour!!" Trunks declared. "This scores high on the revenge scale!"
"Wow, you mean no one knows what her first initial stands for?" Goten asked.
"Not even me." Lil Tak said.
"I do." Brighton said. In a flash, Trunks was sitting by his side.
"Brigh my man, new best buddy Brigh, may I call you Brigh?" Trunks asked.
"Everyone else does." Brighton replied.
"Hehe, you are a funny man. Let me cut to the chase. Tell me her name and I will give you anything you desire. Money, cars, even the NFL cheerleaders." Trunks said.
"How are you gonna get the NFL cheerleaders? They don't even cheer for this country!" Lil Tak said.
"Shut up!" Trunks hissed.
"But I already have everything I want…" Brighton said. The others face-faulted. "And I'm not going to tell you."
"But why?!" Trunks whined.
"If CJ doesn't want you to know then I'm not going to say. But honestly, I don't see why. She has a very nice name." Brighton said. Goten scowled.
"The fact that my parents gave me that name makes it horrible enough." CJ said bitterly.
"This graduation is gonna kick major boot-ay!" Trunks said. "Yeah baby!"
"Will you stop doing that?!" Lil Tak yelled. Goten shifted in his seat angrily as he saw Brighton looking at CJ. He kept asking himself the same question over and over.
Would he tell her or not? Later…"Trunks!" Goten called out, trying to catch up with his best friend.
"What is it?" Trunks asked. Goten caught up and looked at Trunks. He had a very worried expression on his face. "What's wrong with your face? It's all scrunchy…"
"I think I'm ill or dying. Or maybe both!" Goten said, his voiced oozed with fear.
"Goten, please tell me what is going on?" Trunks asked. He was obviously losing patience with the young boy.
"I was thinking about asking CJ to the dance." Goten replied.
"That's all?" Trunks replied, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
"THAT'S ALL!?!?" Goten said, grabbing Trunks collar. "I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM DOING THIS AND 'THAT'S ALL' IS ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!!?"
"Well yah, I mean, I was wondering when you were going to ask her out anyway." Trunks stated.
"Okay…did the dimensions shift without me noticing?!" Goten asked.
"How many times have I told you to stop watching science fiction?!" Trunks scolded.
"Sorry…" Goten sighed. "What is wrong with me?!"
"Nothing is wrong with…wait, there is something wrong with you for liking CJ of all people but there's nothing wrong with you for wanting to ask her." Trunks said. Goten scratched his head.
"That sentence was confusing…and I think a little bit insulting." Goten said. Trunks sighed.
"Goten, there is nothing wrong with you okay. You just like CJ and want to ask her to the dance." Trunks said.
"Oh. See, that's the reason I thought I was ill." Goten said sheepishly, sporting the Son Grin™. "I had better go and find her!" Goten ran off.
"Ah, they grow up so fast." Trunks said. "Aw damn, I gotta get me a date for this thing! Shouldn't be that hard…heh."
Back at school…Goten whizzed up and down the halls to find CJ. She had to still be on the school grounds since she had detention again. Goten ran down to the detention room and saw that it was vacant.
"Aw man!" Goten moaned. His ears picked up the sound of footsteps and he turned around to see Heathcote walking with CJ. "Thanks Dende!"
"Thanks Ms Heathcote!" CJ said, bowing humbly.
"Alright Ms Fujitaka, just don't try and mess it up. Other people are actually looking forward to it." Heathcote said walking away.
"CJ!" Goten called out.
"Hey Son, guess what! I don't have to go to the dance!" CJ said.
"Huh?" Goten barely mumbled.
"I'm the DJ. Well, I guess I have to go but I don't need to dress up or have a date or any of those other ridiculous things." CJ grinned. "So, what's up with you?" Goten paused.
Would he tell her or not?"Nothing!" Goten said. "I am fine."
"O…kay." CJ said. "You've been acting weird lately man."
At the Son Residence…"Hey Chi-Chi." Goku said, dragging a big fish inside the house.
"Goku! You're making a big mess dragging that fish in here like that!" Chi-Chi scolded.
"But if I don't drag it with this hand then I wouldn't be able to hold these flowers and…"
"Flowers!" Chi-Chi exclaimed and took them out of Goku's hand.
"Well I saw them and I thought you might like them." Goku said, oblivious to the romance Chi-Chi thought was behind it.
"Goku! You big sweetie!" Chi-Chi said throwing her arms around his neck. She looked into his eyes. "I suppose I should give you something in return."
"Really?" Goku squeaked, blushing furiously. Chi-Chi brought her lips closer to his and then…
"Hi guys! I'm home!" Goten said rushing upstairs and then rushing back down. "What are you guys doing?"
"There was something under your father's nose. I was trying to clean it off." Chi-Chi said.
"There wasn't anything under my nose Chi-Chi." Goku innocently said. Chi-Chi face-faulted.
"You guys are weird…" Goten said and rushed back upstairs and collapsed on his bed. The minute his head hit the pillow the phone started to ring. He answered it. "Hi?"
"Did she say yes?"
"Hey Trunks. I'm fine by the way."
"Don't act like a smartass Goten, it doesn't suit you. What happened?"
"She didn't say no."
"But…"
"She's not going with a date."
"She's going stag?!"
"It's not a costume party Trunks."
"Never mind…"
"She's gonna be the DJ…"
"…And therefore avoiding all dance rituals. Well Goten, you picked a smart one."
"I didn't pick her! She rejected me remember!"
"She didn't reject you Goten. She just doesn't like this dance stuff. You have to remember that she's still only twelve years, she's a major tomboy…and you know what's she's like for goodness sakes."
"I was wondering when you were gonna say that."
"Yah well…do you hear breathing?"
"Oh my…MOM!! GET OFF THE LINE!!"
"It's not your mom."
"GOHAN?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"I was bored."
"Your brother is weird man."
"Goten has a crush! Woooo!"
"See what I mean."
"Ah, he's just getting revenge for that time I embarrassed him and Videl."
"Hey lil brother, does that mean your crush on Natalie is gone?"
"You didn't just say that…"
"Goten! You had a crush on Natalie?! For real?! I thought you were just kidding around!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!" Goten yelled, slamming the phone down. He collapsed back on the bed. "This is SO not my day."
Graduation Day…
"Mom!!" Goten whined. "It's not that big of a deal!"
"You're graduating from junior high school! Of course it's a big deal!" Chi-Chi squealed.
"But do you honestly need four video cameras, two normal cameras and a disposable camera?" Goten asked.
"I don't want anything to happen to the film!" Chi-Chi said. Goten sweat-dropped.
"Well, I have to get going Mom. Gohan's driving me to school! I'll see you there!" Goten said running out the door and to the road where Gohan was waiting for him in his Ford Fiesta. Goten hopped in and Gohan drove off.
"So, you looking forward to this?" Gohan said. Goten remained silent. "Okay, let me rephrase the question. How'd the dance go?"
"Like itchy powder in your underwear." Goten replied.
"Have you ever had itchy powder in your underwear? It's kills." Gohan said.
"Stop trying to make me laugh Gohan. You're supposed to be the smart one remember?"
"Ouch. That was a little harsh."
"Sorry. It's just that…"
"You went with a total airhead instead of the girl you like."
"Get out of my head!"
"I'm not psychic Goten. I went out with a cheerleader once instead of the girl I liked."
"Videl?"
"Yep."
"Wow…I always thought you were so wise and junk."
"Love doesn't make you wise and junk Goten."
"WOAH!! STOP THE CAR!!!" Goten yelled. Gohan slammed his feet on the brakes and turned to look at Goten.
"What's the matter?! Are you okay?!" Gohan asked frantically.
"Hey!! Move it buddy!" An angry driver yelled. Gohan stuck his head out of the window.
"Do you mind?!" Gohan yelled and looked back at Goten. "Are you okay?"
"You said LOVE?!" Goten barely said. Gohan blinked and then let out a loud, thunderous laugh and continued to drive. "I really fail to see what's so funny Gohan."
"Ooh, no need to get your underwear in a bunch Goten. I never said you loved her. You're too young for that anyway." Gohan said.
"Exactly!" Goten said blushing furiously.
"But you do like CJ, don't you?" Gohan asked.
"Well…hey! How'd you know?!" Goten yelled.
"Hehehe!" Gohan sniggered.
"You're not psychic my butt Gohan." Goten muttered angrily, which caused Gohan to laugh even more. They finally got to the school gate and Goten took his gown out of the backseat.
"Bye Goten! I'll see you at the ceremony." Gohan said driving off. Goten walked into the hall to find his friends. They all, except CJ, looked extremely hyper. (CJ was hyper for her anyway.) Trunks suddenly leaped on top of Goten's head.
"GOTEN!!!" Trunks yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Um, hi?" Goten asked, fearfully. "What the hell is up with you guys?"
"It's the last day of school, duh!" Juliana said.
"Did you just duh me?" Goten asked.
"Chill Goten, we're just happy is all." Lil Tak said. "Look, there's a crowd forming near the stage."
"MOSH PIT!!" Trunks yelled as he went and dived on the crowd.
"Okay, I swear the dimension shifted without anyone telling me…" Goten said shaking his head. "When does this thing finish?"
"Well it starts…" Juliana tried to say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, will you please take your seats?" Heathcote said into the microphone.
"Now I guess." Juliana finished as everyone took their seats. "Does this make me look fat? I hate these gowns."
"Are you gonna tell CJ that you like her?" Trunks whispered as Heathcote started a long speech. Goten paused and sighed.
Would he tell her or not?
"No." Goten whispered back.
"Why not?" Trunks asked.
"It's like you said Trunks, she's only twelve. I don't think she's emotionally stable enough for me to tell her." Goten replied.
"…Please don't tell me you've been watching Oprah."
"Shuddup!"
"Whatever you think is best, I support ya dude."
"Thanks Trunks."
"Even if you are acting like a complete and utter idiot but what can I expect from you?"
"I AM NOT STUPID TRUNKS!!" Goten yelled. He quickly covered his mouth and sat down, embarrassed.
"Goten, what's up?" CJ asked.
"Nothing!" Goten hissed.
"Geez, have a cow much?" CJ snorted. Goten's stomach sank. Why is it whenever something bad happened these days he always took it out on her? It wasn't her fault. He was about the only person she was semi-nice to. But didn't that mean that she liked him too? But the big question was…
Would he tell her or not?
"Now it is time to collect your diplomas!" Heathcote said.
"I'm gonna do it Trunks. I'm gonna tell her…" Goten said.
"You're gonna what?!" Trunks exclaimed.
"Way to be supportive dude." Goten sighed.
"Briefs Trunks!" Heathcote said.
"I'm not ready yet!" Trunks said.
"Well, you'll have to leave us sometime Trunks." Heathcote said as the others giggled. Blushing furiously, Trunks walked onstage and took his diploma.
"Heh, that's my brat!" Vegeta called out. Trunks took his hat and hid his face with it.
"Why me?" Trunks groaned.
"What the hell were you guys talking about?" Lil Tak asked.
"Goten's crush on CJ." Juliana replied.
"Huh?!" Goten asked. "But how…?"
"It's women's intuition Goten. I know these things." Juliana said.
"What are you guys talking about?" CJ asked.
Would he tell her or not?
All three of them stammered uncontrollably. "Okay, I'm not that frightening am I?" CJ asked.
"Fujitaka CJ." Heathcote said. Juliana gasped.
"No fair! They didn't say your name." Juliana said.
"Hey, I didn't charge for DJ-ing and they did me a favour. Booyah!" CJ said as she walked onstage.
"No one says that anymore!" Juliana said.
"Greco Ian!" Heathcote said.
"I'm next. See ya guys later." Brighton said.
"Hefferman Brighton!" Heathcote called.
"Well, better Goten than Brighton." Lil Tak said.
"How'd you mean?" Juliana asked.
"Well we might not have seen it, but CJ did since she's known him so long. Brighton's dad wants Brighton to marry CJ when they're older so that his company can merge with CJ's dad's company." Lil Tak said.
"Therefore making it the richest company on Earth." Juliana said.
"Right. Brighton likes CJ but only as a friend. He was sent to this school to 'woo' her, so to speak." Lil Tak said. "And he has to do what rich daddy tells him to or else he'll be disowned."
"Kanzaki Juliana!" Heathcote called.
"Gotta go." Juliana said.
"Wow…" Goten said. "I guess it's hard being a rich man's daughter."
"Yep. Her family didn't even show up today. They were too busy playing golf at the club or whatever." Lil Tak said. He then looked at Goten seriously. "Goten, she's kinda like my kid sister. Don't hurt her okay?"
"Sure…" Goten said. They shared a brief moment of silence.
"And if you tell anyone I said that, I'll be forced to embarrass you horribly. Okay?" Lil Tak grinned.
"Okay dude." Goten smiled.
"Son Goten!" Heathcote called out. Goten stood up and walked onstage. He could hear his dad and brother cheering wildly and his mother crying tears of joy. Goten sat down and felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Hey Spikes, you okay?" CJ asked. Goten sighed.
Would he tell her or not?
"Yamamoto Takeshi." Heathcote called. Lil Tak took his diploma. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you this year's graduation class!" The students stood up and threw their hats in the air. Trunks ran to the podium and grabbed a microphone.
"GRADUATION BABY! YEAH!" Trunks yelled.
"Well?" CJ asked. Goten looked at her.
Would he tell her or not?
"Hey Ceej, can I talk to you for a sec?" Brighton asked, walking up behind them.
"Hold on, I was talking to…" CJ said.
"No, you go. We'll talk later." Goten said. Brighton dragged CJ away. Goten watched them and saw them talking behind the curtain. He couldn't read lips and he couldn't hear them due to all the celebrating. Brighton said something and CJ looked shocked. Then she looked angry. She started to talk through her teeth. Brighton tried to cut her off but then she went into yelling mode, waving her arms about angrily, that's when Brighton went to kiss her. Before he had the chance to, CJ punched him in the stomach, leaving him a bumbling mess on the floor. CJ muttered a few words and then walked off.
"Sorry about that Goten." CJ said. Goten looked at her face and saw that she was truly upset.
Would he tell her or not?
"So, are you okay?"
"I'm fine CJ." Goten said. "But how about you?"
"I'm okay. But I'm beginning to see why my sister swore off guys when she was in high school." CJ said, laughing bitterly.
"Hey Ceej?"
"Yah Spikes."
Would he tell her or not?
"Do you wanna come over to Trunks' house? Our moms are having a big party over there for us." Goten said.
"Thanks Goten. I'd love to." CJ said.
He decided not.
The End
That's right. You read me correctly. This is the last chapter of School Dayz. No more School Dayz being updated yadda, yadda, yadda.
BUT! Don't kill me yet!!!
There will be a follow up. I don't know what the title will be yet but it will be something along the lines of "Trunks and Goten: The Teen Years" or something. So it'll deal with stuff outside school as well as in school. That also means that Juliana, CJ and Lil Tak will be in the story as well as some other new additions. Romance, humour, adventure, drama and general silliness!
As for CJ/Goten…you'll have to wait and see ^_~
