1 Gohan finally takes CONTROL

Author's Note: I love Gohan…he's soooo sweet! Especially once he starts High School. The only thing that has always annoyed me is that he lets himself be bossed around all the time. So this is a very OOC Gohan. AU…No Gohan and Videl either…or no hint of it just yet!

"Wake up, Gohan!" my mother's voice loudly and shrilly intruded on my dreams of acceptance at his new high school.

"Yes Mom, I'm coming!" I sat up and shook off the last remnants of sleep. I showered, but I took longer than I usually did, and was already bound to be late for school. If I were an ordinary child, that might just be the truth. I raised my ki a little and got dry almost immediately.

I went downstairs to see Goten already at the Breakfast table, just anticipating his latest meal of many. He is so like Dad, and yet they have never met. Just thinking about my father made me sad, but I saw the wisdom in his choice.

I ate, avoiding the searching look ChiChi was giving me. I hoped she wouldn't change her mind about sending me. It had taken me months to convince her. I decided to leave now before she had actually made up her mind to do anything.

"Mom, I don't want to be late on my first day to school, so I'll go now! Goten, you can have Nimbus all to yourself. I am going to fly to school. Bye!" With that, I left the house, even before mother could react and give me one of her killer hugs. I could hear her enraged shrieks as I flew towards Satan City.

A little while later, I was flying over the city when I heard some commotion. I quickly discovered that a gang of men were robbing a bank. So I did the right thing and put a stop to it. I went up a level to dispatch them all, so that I could be on my way again.

I got to school on time, and was shown by the principal to my new class. I was wondering where to sit when I saw a young lady point to a seat next to me. Next to her, a very moody looking young lady was sat. It took me a moment to recognise her, but she was definitely Hercule's daughter, Videl.

"I don't know who that Jerk thought he was, but he could have gotten himself hurt!" she exclaimed.

"Come on Videl, you are just jealous somebody else did a good job of fighting crime in your city." Mocked a blond guy to her right.

"Shut up Sharpner, don't get on my bad side this morning. Whoever that blond guy was will get it from me. Morning rumour has it that he attends our school now." An angry Videl muttered.

It suddenly hit me that they were talking about me. I smiled at that thought. If I wasn't going to be known for Cell's demise, at least I would be the local blond hero who disappeared.

At this moment, Videl turned on me.

"You are new here, aren't you? Area 549? I know that no kid at this school would ever do this, so it must be you. My sources have said that he seemed to be roughly my age. Well let me warn you of just one thing, don't ever mess around with crime in this city, because I will have your butt for dinner." I looked at her, gobsmacked. How could she have possibly thought it was I? Me with the black hair? Guy with the nearly platinum gold hair?

"Videl, don't get violent now, he's new here. Anyway, it couldn't have been him, that guy had blond hair." Erasia stated.

This angered me. Why had she just turned on me like that, especially without the slightest bit of courtesy?

"Videl, maybe you should consider him as a partner." I was really upset now. "Or maybe, you should follow in your father's footsteps and let somebody else do all the hard work, and you take all the credit. Seeing as your family is very good at that." I spat out.

"We will settle this at lunchtime, you idiot." She hissed.

"Damn right we will."



Lunchtime came quickly. By then, rumours of an impending fight had spread over most of the school, and as we walked to the school field, we were watched anxiously. Some obviously relished the idea of me being eaten alive by Videl, while others could be seen to be quietly cheering on my corner. I didn't care for Student Politics. I was going to clear this up once and for all.
