DARK ANGEL: CHAPTER ONE
The stadium exploded in a deafening cheer as the last graduate of Orange Star High School sat back down. Gohan smiled brightly as he saw Chichi, Goku, little Goten, and the rest of his friends walked quickly towards him. "Oh Gohan, I'm so proud of you!" Chichi said brightly. "Thanks mom." He replied still smiling. "So Gohan, what does it feel like to finally be out of this prison?" Krillin asked jokingly. Gohan sighed and looked around at his fellow classmates and his former teachers.
"Hey Gohan!" A girl's voice called out to him. He quickly turned around and grinned. Videl was waving ferociously for him to go over to her. He turned back to his friends and family and said, "I'll be right back guys." The entire group smiled as he again turned back to Videl and began to trot towards her. "Aww Gohan's gotta go see his girl friend." Krillin remarked sarcastically. Gohan quickly glanced back and shot Krillin an evil glare.
"Hey Gohan," One of Videl's friends said as he came to a stop at the front of the group. He smiled at her and turned to Videl. "Yes?" He asked. "Are you doing anything this week?" Videl asked. "No, not really. Why?" Gohan answered. Videl looked around at the other people. "Well, we were wondering if you would like to go with us on a little vacation tomorrow." Gohan looked at the group and sighed. He knew that if he said yes, that he would be cutting into his training time with Goku and Piccolo and he really didn't want that. On the other hand, however, he would have a good chance to spend a little time with his friends before they each went their separate ways.
He sighed again and looked into the night sky. "Yeah I'll go." He said. "Okay good, we'll see you tomorrow morning then." Videl answered. Gohan nodded slowly and then said good-bye to his friends until the next day and slowly trotted back to his family. The entire group, except Piccolo, grinned boldly as he yet again stopped at the group. "What?" He asked forcefully, looking around at the grinning faces. "So Gohan, what are you doing next week?" Piccolo asked half angry, and half amused.
Gohan stared at him questiongly. "What do you mean Piccolo?" Gohan asked back. "C'mon Gohan, you know what I mean, are you training with us or are you going with your friends?" Gohan's mouth fell open heavily. "You heard?" He asked surprised. "Yes I heard and I'm personally disappointed." Piccolo answered. "Aw c'mon Piccolo, it's only for a week, besides, I've spent almost my entire life training, can't I get out and have some fun for a little while?" Piccolo stared at his long time student. He had never, in the entire time that he had known Gohan, heard him say that he did not want to train.
"Yes I guess you're right, Gohan." Piccolo said softly. "I'll be waiting for you the day you return, and when you do, I expect you to be ready for a good fight." "I always have." Gohan said smiling once again. "Well I guess we better get going, Gohan has to get ready for when he leaves." Chichi said looking at her watch. The rest of the group mumbled their agreements and the warriors and their families departed for their homes.
