Last Chapter: Gohan met Videl, Erasa, and Sharpner. He found out that his Father's death was kept a secret from everyone.



Chapter 8:





It was a quiet night in the Son home while Gohan was doing his extra studies and Goten was over at the Briefs house. Chi Chi was busy knitting a sweater for Goten because it was getting a bit chilly lately.

Up in Gohan's room we see that he has just finished his work for the evening. I don't know why people complain about the workload at school he thought. It doesn't even compare to the work Mother gives me.

Gohan decided to go out with the remaining hours he had before bed. But where should he go? While he changed into a blue sweater and khaki pants (A/N-wouldn't Gohan look hot like that?) he thought about it. He didn't feel like exploring through the plains that surrounded his house for miles around with a few forests here and there; he'd done that too much lately.

There wasn't really anything else to do other than go to Vegeta's but he was tired from his day at school. Then he got an idea. Although I dislike Satan City, I may as well get used to the surroundings and act as if I know where everything is. Gohan then decided that he was going to explore Satan City.

"Mom! I'm going to Satan City for a while. I'll be back soon ok?" Gohan called to his Mother walking out the door. "All right dear!" Chi Chi responded. Chi Chi then got a look in her eyes. 'Although it was only his first day, I've noticed a change in you Gohan' she thought.

_______________________________________________________________

Within 10 minutes Gohan had reached the city limits. He landed in the alley he had this morning but was not disturbed by a mugger this time. He started wandering around taking in everything he saw.

The city looked much different than it had in the daytime. It looked calmer, although most would suspect that the night would be worse than the day but it wasn't. Gohan walked 10 blocks before reaching his school. He looked around to see if anyone was around but no one was.

It was kind of scary being alone on the big campus. There weren't much lights around but Gohan knew he was safe with his strength. He spotted a bench and sat down. He felt kind of lonely sitting alone when something tapped his shoulder. He whizzed his head around to see that it was Sharpner.

"Hey Gohan! What are you doing here at this time of night?" Sharpner said. These kids are always so happy! How do they do it? "Oh... I just wanted to get out for a bit. What about you?" Gohan replied. "Wow, is he actually making conversation?" the sarcastic Videl replied.

Gohan looked behind the yellow haired man to see Videl and Erasa. "We were just headed off to a party! Wanna come with? It could loosen you up..." Erasa said. Gohan was afraid of what she had in mind. "No thanks. I'm pretty happy here." Gohan said turning his head forward. He didn't feel like being around a ton of wasted people.

"Whatever. Come on you guys, I want to get there before all the beer is gone," Sharpner said. "Booze hound," Videl added. Beep beep. "Wait guys I got a phone call on my cell," Videl said. "Hello?...Oh hi... just out with some friends... to a friends house... what time? Not sure... Yes boys will be there!... Why?.... that's totally unfair!... FINE!" Click.

"Sorry guys, my Dad's being a total a**hole right now. I'll see you tomorrow ok?" Videl said unhappily. "Whatever. Bye Videl! See you around Gohan!" and the two blondes sprinted off to the party. "Geez are they in a hurry," Videl said to Gohan. "Yup," Gohan replied. "My dad can be so overprotective sometimes," Videl said. "Yup," was all she got in reply. Videl was getting a little peeved like she did earlier today with Gohan. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow." "Yup."

Yet again Gohan had managed to push the right buttons on Videl. "Jerk!" she yelled pushing Gohan off the bench into the dirt. "Hey!" he yelled at the walking off Videl. All he got was the finger. Gohan couldn't help but have a small smirk on his face. He'd never seen a girl act like that before. She seemed so rough on the outside but Gohan could tell there was more to her than that.

_______________________________________________________________

"GOHAN! TIME TO GET UP!" Goten yelled bouncing into Gohan's room. It was time for his second day at the hell hole he dispised during the day. "I'm up I'm up," Gohan said while rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Gohan got dressed in his school clothes and went down for breakfast. While shoveing a ton of food into his face his Mother said to him, "Now Gohan, I need you to take Goten to Bulma's today. Well actually, before you go to school." "All right but is he ready right now? I need to get going..." "I'M READY!" Goten said while jumping into his brother's arms. "Ok then, lets go!"

_______________________________________________________________

Gohan flew through the air doing flips, and loops, and making Goten fall off his

back about 5 times! Goten was relieved when the made it to Bulma's because he was afraid of his Brother's flying!

They had just landed on the grass outside the mansion when Trunks came bouncing out the front door. "GOHAN! GOTEN!" he yelled tackling down Gohan. "Oof! Have.. *pant pant* you gotten stronger Trunks?" Gohan said trying to rub away the pain in his chest. "Dad thinks so! Come on Goten lets go play with Mom's new razor beam!" and the two little mosters ran off.

Gohan looked at his watch and was about to be late. He ran quickly to school (the speed of light!) and sat down in his desk in the nick of time. Gohan looked over at the people beside him and saw a not so good looking Sharpner and Erasa. "Too... much.. too drink," Sharpner said looking like he was going to be sick. Gohan edged his chair away not wanting to take any chances. He looked over at Videl and saw that she was still as mad as ever. He smiled and turned to the front of the class.

Mr. Brown walked out from behind his desk and began speaking, "Today class we have a special treat! We will not be having any of our normal lessons for we have a VERY special presentation today about the world of business and technology." The class groaned at this. "Ah, but you didn't let me finish! The person who will be giving the presentation will be the one and only Bulma Briefs!"

The last bit of information caught Gohan's interest. Bulma was coming here? Then maybe Vegeta would too.... Gohan was looking forward to patching things up between him and Vegeta. He didn't like having people mad at him... unless it was Videl (A/N-Does Gohan feel something for her? WHO KNOWS! *Laughs Evily*)

"WOW! Bulma Briefs coming here?" "She's the richest woman in the world by far!" "She's hot!" "Is he husband going to come?" "She's hot!" "I can't believe what luck this school has!" "She's hot!"

With all the comments Gohan was hearing he knew Vegeta was going to come. Vegeta wasn't one not to be jealous, no matter what he said. "Hey! Isn't it great that Mrs. Briefs is coming here?" Sharpner said to Gohan. "Oh, yeah great," Gohan said as if it was nothing big.

"All right class! Lets go down to the audotorium!" Mr. Brown called. The students began there descend to the audotorium with Gohan being harrased by hundreds of girls all wanting to sit beside him. So far Erasa was winning the fight for him but Gohan wasn't interested in whom he sat beside.

In the back of the herd Sharpner and Videl were walking together. "How come Gohan gets all the girls?" Sharpner said sadly. "Well this is one girl he's not going to get!" Videl said in an annoyed tone. "He asks as if he doesn't even want them... if only I had such luck..." said the sad little man. "Trust me, you don't want his luck," Videl said giving Gohan a death glare from behind. Sharpner suddenly perked up, "Does that mean you'll go out with me?" he said hopefully. "Get real," she said shoveing him to one side while turning a corner. Unfortunately she pushed the blonde man just a wee bit too hard into a garbage can. "Hey! Can I get some help here?" Sharpner yelled into the now empty halls.

_______________________________________________________________

Videl had caught up with Erasa not knowing where Sharpner had went and was sitting beside her. Gohan had an aisle seat beside Erasa who was wearing a huge grin on her face for sitting beside Gohan. Suddenly the lights went a bit dim and Mrs. Vanee walked onto the stage.

"Students, you all have a very special treat today! You will get to hear about the most successful company in the world from the one and only Bulma Briefs! Bulma walked out on stage and the audotorium broke out into applause.

"Thank-you Mrs. Vanee. Hello everyone I am Bulma Briefs and I work at..." Gohan had tuned Bulma out while the rest of the students listened attentively. Gohan looked around the side of the stage looking for Vegeta. "Come on where are you?" Gohan said aloud. Videl smacked him upside the head, "Shut up Gohan!" she said angrily. "Sorry," Gohan said without any apologetic tone in the word. Videl glared at him before turning back to Bulma's presentation.

Gohan couldn't spot Vegeta so he flared his ki to hopefully catch his attention. Nothing. He did it again a bit higher when he saw Vegeta at the side of the stage looking for whom ever was doing this. Gohan whispered to Erasa, "I'll see you guys later ok? There's something I have to do," Gohan said leaving his seat. Erasa almost melted onto Videl. "What's up with you?" Videl asked. "Gohan... *sigh*" Videl rolled her eyes.

At the top of the auditorium by the doors Gohan stood there and raised his energy again making Vegeta be able to pin point where he was. Gohan signaled for Vegeta to follow him and Vegeta nodded. Vegeta proceeded to walk to Gohan while the girls had there eyes following his every step. Even Videl was looking, curious at to where this man was going. She saw that Gohan was waiting for him and when Vegeta reached the top he and Gohan exited the room.

Videl was very curious about this and was eager to get something on Gohan because frankly he pissed her off. She got up out of her seat and left to find what Gohan was up to. Erasa sat in her seat puzzled at why Gohan and Videl had both just left when it suddenly hit her. 'They must be secretly seeing eachother! I must catch them in the action!' the blonde said leaving her seat also.

_______________________________________________________________

"Listen Vegeta, we need to talk," Gohan said. "What's there to talk about brat? Maybe it's the fact that you blew up in my face yesterday!," Vegeta said holding Gohan's collar and pushing him against a wall. "I'm sorry! You know you really shouldn't be doing this in the scho..." "SHUT UP! How come I'm the one that had to deal with you're anger? I didn't have to you know! You're lucky I'm here or else you probably would have killed you're Mother" "Shut up Vegeta," Gohan said, his anger rising. "You probably would have killed a lot more than you're measly Father if I wasn't here!" "SHUT UP!" Gohan yelled throwing a hard punch into Vegeta's face sending him flying into the opposite wall.

Vegeta stood up and walked over to Gohan. "Pitiful," he said punching Gohan even harder in the face. Gohan fell to the floor and started wiping away the blood that flowed from his lip. "I'm... sorry Vegeta," Gohan said not looking at the man towering over him. "Whatever. Just come by today after school so I can kick you're ass like I usally do," Vegeta said walking away. Gohan smiled. Vegeta had forgiven him. He got up and started walking back to the audotorium when he bumped into somebody.

"Ouch! Whatch were you're going!" Videl said falling to the floor. Gohan smiled at her. "Sorry," he said stepping over her. Ooooh how Videl loathed him. Gohan's smile grew even wider as he could sense Videl getting mad. Suddenlt out of no where Sharpner appeared. "There you guys are!," Sharpner called in relief.

"Hey where have you be.. oof!" Gohan fell to the floor as his legs were kicked from undreneath him. He turned to see Videl step over him saying, "Sorry." Sharpner looked from Gohan to Videl. "What was all that about?" he asked. "I don't know," Gohan replied with a small smile.

Before Videl could turn the hall back to the presentation Erasa came popping out. "Hey where have you guys been?" Suddenly her eyes filled with tears. "You guys... *sniff sniff* where meeting together without me?" the blonde cried. "No no no Erasa you have it all wrong!" Videl said trying to calm her down.

Gohan stood up and walked over to Erasa putting an arm around her. "Don't worry, we wouldn't do aything without you," Gohan said making Erasa smile as big as the sun as they walked back inside.

Sharpner came up to Videl. "What's with Gohan? He's acting strange." "I don't know Sharpner; all I know is that I hate that guy."
