"Gohan, come here a moment." Chi-Chi called her son. Gohan soon entered the
room, followed closely by Goten who held a small teddy bear.
"Ya mom?" Gohan asked as he entered the room.
"What would you say if I told you, you were going to start high school soon?"
"I'd say you were insane." Gohan replied in all honesty.
His mother fault faced and then got back to her feet.
"Gohan I'm not insane. You're going to High School because I can't stand you moping about. You didn't kill your father, Cell did, not go take these entrance exams and you'd better pass them. It should be a review for you." His mother said. Gohan sighed, knowing he was not going to get out of it this time. He didn't really care. He was only really simi happy around Goten and when he was fighting Vegeta to get out his anger about Cell and his father. I'd be seven years next month. And now he had to start High school. "Turn around ma, let me use your back a moment, Goten and I are going to train in a few seconds." Which is all it took for him to complete the long test. "Here, see ya." Goten bounded into the room and Gohan's frown turned to a smile. He only seemed to smile real smiles around Goten. Other wise it was a smirk or not even that. He mostly wore a frown. So when Goten was around, Chi-Chi was a bit happy because Gohan would smile around him. Gohan looked so much better with a smile. But it usually would leave his face when Goten left the room. So they spent as much time as possible together.
But there was one time when he wouldn't smile, speek, or do anything but stare at a wall or something or another. They could barely get him to eat, and that was during May 13th, when Goku had died. Gohan still blamed himself for it, no matter how much Krillen and the others told him that it wasn't his fault. Chi-Chi spotted the boys outside. Gohan was levitating Goten around with him mind and Goten was laughing. Goten couldn't fly yet, but Gohan was going to teach him one day, she knew, and she would just have to live with it. Chi-Chi found it weird when Gohan had started to spend so much time to himself, he developed a mental power unto himself. Piccolo came once in a while to teach Gohan how to manipulate the power and Gohan accepted his former teacher, once again as his teacher and mentor. Chi-Chi sighed, then went into the kitchen to make lunch . . ..
Gohan grinned as Goten held his arms out like a bird and flew around. He even gave a light chuckle as he made Goten fly really high then drop stright to the ground, catching him with his mind before he hit and making him soar up once more. Piccolo watched from a distance. If it hadn't been Goten Piccolo was sure that Gohan would have done the unthinkable and kill himself. Piccolo was just glad that Gohan was now okay, at least for now, his wounds were slowly healing, he knew, but not fast enough for Piccolo's liking.
"Gohan," Piccolo said, coming out of the shadows. Goten dropped lightly to the ground as Gohan turned to Piccolo. Gohan's smile faltered a bit but then he gave a genuine smile to Piccolo, which shocked Piccolo. He hadn't seen that in years.
"Hiya Piccolo, what am I learning today?" he asked in a pleasant tone.
"Gohan is there something wrong?" Piccolo asked.
Gohan looked confused.
"I'm just trying." Was all he said. Piccolo nodded, knowing what he was talking about, but not talking about it in front of Goten.
"Mind erasing." Piccolo said, nodding to Goten.
"Goten?" Gohan asked confused.
"Test subject," Piccolo said with a half smile.
"YAY I GET TO HELP!" Goten screamed, making both Piccolo and Gohan winch.
After a few hours of work, Gohan finally made Goten forget the phrase; "Vegeta is a wimp with pink hair and is a girl."
"What was I supposed to do again?" Goten asked.
"I think you went a little to hard on the kid, ease up next time Gohan." Piccolo said, Gohan nodded.
"I start school tomorrow, so I won't be here." Gohan mumbled to Piccolo as Goten ran off, shouting Flying Nimbus. He was going to see Trunks.
"Is that wise Gohan? So close to that time?" Piccolo asked.
"No, it's not wise, but I have no choice with mom." Gohan replied with the sigh.
"You might want to gather as many sensu beans as you can and I might need help erasing minds." Gohan said a bit reluctantly.
"Try not to blow anyone up. We've saved the dragon balls in case of an emergency." Piccolo spoke with caution. Gohan knew what he meant, when his father changed his mind and came back from the dead. Gohan nodded anyway and headed inside.
"Bye Piccolo . . .. And Piccolo, thanks." Gohan turned to face Piccolo before heading inside.
"No problem Gohan." Piccolo said, knowing his sensitive hearing heard him.
Gohan growled, he was no in a happy mood. His alarm clock had been saiya- jin proofed by the same metal that covered the gravity room's door. As much as Gohan blasted the thing he couldn't get it to shut off until he unplugged it. He couldn't even get the batteries out without a special key. Gohan grumbled and hit the snooze button and got up. He did some stretches and got dressed in some school cloths his mother had picked out for him. In his bag he packed a training Gi and a small bag full of sensu beans Corren had taught him how to make, because he was going to go to Vegeta's to fight after school. He knew he would need the stress relief and Vegeta would get another chance to beat him, but that never happened but once or twice when Gohan had been really distracted and wasn't paying attention, then it wasn't really a battle.
Gohan inhaled his breakfast then waved goodbye, Goten, thankfully, was in bed still, and Gohan didn't have to smile. He grabbed the entrance forms and walked out side. He just didn't feel smiling at the moment. He stepped outside.
"FLYING NIMBUS!" Gohan yelled to the sky. Gohan jumped on the cloud and the cloud took off. "Orange star high school." Gohan said to the cloud, masking both the cloud and himself with his mind. They were just a white cloud being blown by a strong wind. That's all anyone saw if they could see them at all that is.
Gohan soon arrived at the school, stepping off the cloud, Gohan waved goodbye and unhappily walked over to the door that lead into the school, Gohan not seeing the lock on the door, just turned it and pulled it open. Walking down the stairs and he stepped out onto the sixth floor.
Looking down he saw a drop that was six stories. Quickly he jumped over, not bothering with the stairs and did a flip as he landed, breaking his fall, as if he needed to do that. He walked into the office that was near by and looked at the lady there. He handed her his entrance exams without a word and ignored her boring chatter and waited while his Scan Tron and didn't pay any attention when she exclaimed about his perfect score. 'Lady I coulda told you that.' Gohan thought darkly.
"Yes, that's all very well but can I go to class now?" he asked with a frown. The lady nodded and quickly made up his classes.
"Here you go, come again." she said, as if he were some child. He scrowled as her, giving her a 'Vegeta glare' and headed toward his new class. He knocked on the door and waited for the Senshi to answer it. When he did he was surprised to see Gohan there. "I got sent here against my will." Gohan said, handing him his class list. The teacher laughed, thinking it was a joke, but Gohan wasn't joking. He'd already started erasing minds of those who'd seen him fall, the six flights of stairs; his day could not get any worse then just being here.
"Please come in and say something about yourself." The Senshi said. Gohan just scrowled. He so did not want to be here.
"Nothin to tell, can I take my seat now?" Gohan asked quietly so only the Senshi could hear.
"Come now Gohan, I know you passed the entrance exam with a perfect score, so you must be really smart."
Gohan just growled low in his throat and said just loud enough for the people at the top of the risers to hear, "I like martial arts. I plan to fight in this years World's Martial Arts Tournament. I study cause mom won't let me do anything else but train occasionally. That's all." He growled the last two words at the Senshi and he finally got the idea and pointed to a seat next too two blondes and a black haired girl. He took his seat quickly and as the Senshi began his lesson in math, some thing he had learned when he was four. He pulled out a math book in Greek and began doing the same lesson but in a different language. The whole point was to learn Greek, not their math. He ignored the insistent tapping on his shoulder to get his attention from the blonde female next to him, and the punch from the male one, and continued to do his work, unfazed. The day went by pretty quickly. Lunch was a short shock for him because when he opened his capsule his mother had packed all he found was two small peas. He was aghast until he picked them up and felt them weigh like a ton each. He thanked Bulma silently and ate the peas, suddenly full.
The last class of the day was right after his lunch; it was P.E, just great, he would really have to down play his Kai in order to make sure no one got hurt. He was forced to wear sweat pants and a shirt that showed off his arms. They were playing baseball. He had never played so he had to ask the senshi how to play. "You've never heard of Baseball before? Or the greatest player of all Yamcha?"
"Yamcha?" Gohan asked, the name rang a bell.
"Never mind, just swing the bat and hit the ball." The Senshi handed him a helmet and he decided that if he was going to hit the ball he would hit it lightly. The Pitcher grinned,
"Come on weakling, let's see what you got." He said.
'Weakling am I?' Gohan's anger sparked and his Kai rose a bit. He suddenly grinned and focused on finding a Kai.
"Ready." Gohan called, but the pitcher had already thrown the ball. Gohan swung the bat with little force and sent the ball sky rocketing. He dropped the bat and walked the bases, much like he had seen everyone else do before he went. Everyone was in shock as they watched the ball fly through the air. Gohan just shrugged and headed for the boys locker room to get changed, gym was boring and he could do something useful, like beat the shit outta Vegeta for fun . . ..
In the 439-mountain area Goten was chasing the Nimbus when a ball crashed into the house, breaking a window. Curious, he went to investigate. His mother was shouting about broken glass, all over the place when he felt Gohan's Kai surrounded the ball.
"IT'S FROM Gohan MOM!" Goten shouted, picking up his new toy and went off to play leaving his mother's shocked face behind him as he went. . ..
Gohan grinned as he felt Goten's Kai spike, letting him know he'd gotten the ball. Gohan spiked it back letting him know he understood him. He headed for Vegeta's, leaving the school half an hour early. He walked along the streets and then noticed that he didn't know where Capsule Corp. was! He'd only been there when his father had done Instant Transmission. He didn't really know the way. After an hour or so of aimless walking, he ran into someone. "Sorry," he grumbled, not looking up from the ground.
"SON GOHAN!" The voice yelled. He finally looked up into the face of Satan Videl.
"What?" he asked.
"How in the world did you hit that ball that far?"
He then remembered that Yamcha played baseball. He'd tried to teach Gohan, but Gohan never got it. "Tips from a friend?" he suggested. It wasn't really a lie, but it was close enough.
"Who? I wanna know!" Videl asked.
"Kakkarott's brat get in here now!" Vegeta yelled from the doorway.
Gohan looked up to see Vegeta and didn't answer Videl, he said, "Hey Vegeta." Vegeta was taken aback by Gohan's tone of voice, which was excited, and happy?
"Let's spar," Vegeta spied Videl. "You can talk to your new mate later, lets go." Vegeta grabbed Gohan's arm and dragged him inside.
"See ya tomorrow Videl, and what the heck do you mean shes my mate! I'm too young to have a mate!" Gohan complained . . ..
The month passed and Gohan opened up to Videl, Erasa, and yes, even Sharpener. But when May rolled around, Gohan completely closed up.
"Hey Gohan, wanna eat lunch with us?" Videl asked, but Gohan didn't hear her. He was walking aimlessly, he hadn't eaten much in the last few days and he would barely speek to anyone. He wouldn't even smile for Goten. He tried ohh he tried, but failed. He wouldn't even fight Vegeta because he was so depressed. And then He came to the school. It started on 'Hercule Satan Day', the day he had killed his father. The school was called down for and assembly. Several people were called down just for fun, famous people, like Yamcha and Bulma. A few people he didn't know and when Yamcha walked out, Gohan was a bit heartened at this. An old friend. Gohan sat at the top of the bleachers and spiked his Kai. Yamcha broke of in mind word, looking around to where he felt the Kai. He was shocked to see Gohan sitting there. Forgetting about the teacher he was talking to, she huffed and walked off, he waved his hand to Gohan and called out,
"Hey Gohan, come down here, we need to talk." Gohan gave a faint smile, but you couldn't really see it, as he stood up, much to the shock of everyone there.
"Hey Yamcha, hows your sparing coming around, you have a weaker Kai then before." Gohan mumbled, but everyone was silent as the too walked a ways off, Videl deciding to follow.
"How ya holdin up Gohan?" Yamcha asked with concern. "You really shouldn't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault that he died. It was Cells." At Cell's name Videl's interest sparked up more.
"It was my fault. If only I had done as he said he wouldn't have died and he would still be here telling mom I'm too smart to go to this hell hole!" Gohan growled, hitting the wall, causing it to slightly dent, Videl didn't notice it because she couldn't see the two; she was hiding behind a trashcan.
"It's not your fault. I just wish that pompous ass hadn't taken the credit for your work. It's not fair to you, I mean you were the one who . . .."
"I know that, it helps though, knowing that I could beat the shit outta that bastard any day I want to."
"Hey Yamcha, Gohan, I didn't know you started school here." Bulma walked up to Yamcha and Gohan, Vegeta following behind with Trunks.
"Hey Bulma, Vegeta, wow Trunks you've grown up." Yamcha said.
"Hey Gohan, how ya holdin out?" Bulma asked.
"Like I wanna beat the shit outta something." Gohan mumbled, not caring about the look Bulma sent his way.
"Gravity room anytime any place." Vegeta said.
"Nah, Trunks might be a better spar" This made Vegeta so angry that Gohan had to laugh. This shocked everyone, but they soon broke into laughter too. Vegeta decided to ignore this sense it was that day and suffered. "I was just kidding Vegeta, I'll be there after school. Jeez its been forever sense I laughed like that." Gohan said. Trunks gave Gohan a hug and asked Bulma,
"Mom can I sit with Gohan!" The hyper seven-year-old asked.
"Sure, just behave, you know the deal." Bulma warned and Trunks shouted YAY and pounced on Gohan's shoulders, nearly knocking him over.
"Guess you guys better get to the presentation, see you guys after, if I can ever get past that crowd, I might decide to let body start flying." Gohan said as he walked off, leaving very worried friends behind her.
"Gohan can we really spar after school?"
"Sure Trunks, just go easy on me, I haven't done it in a little while, a month or more I think."
"Okay, I promise I won't go super on you." Trunks promised.
"Hey isn't that mom and Goten?" Gohan asked, stopping in his tracks and heading that way. Videl was following, getting more curious over him. Vegeta noticed this and spiked his Kai, everyone looked at him and he nodded to the bleachers where Videl was hiding, Videl missed this, and Gohan nodded.
"Hiya mom, what are you doing here."
"I'm here to give that MAN a piece of my mind, and to see Yamcha and Bulma. Can you watch Goten for a while?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Sure mom, but don't embarrass me please, I'm running a bit low and sensu beans." His mother nodded, knowing what he meant by that.
"Gohan can I ride on your shoulders too!?" Goten asked. Gohan nodded and sat on Gohan's other shoulder.
"So Goten, how was your morning?" Gohan asked as he made his way to his seat. Videl suddenly appeared a few seconds later.
"Nothing, hey Gohan, I meant to ask you, to you hit this all the way home a few months ago?" Goten held up the baseball. Videl's eyes bugged, It was the same baseball that Gohan had hit in his first P.E class.
"It was only a month Goten, and ya I did. Glad ya got it, just hope mom forgets about the broken window. I remember when I got home I got the frying pan to the head, twice, and then I had to fix the window." Trunks burst out laughing and Videl was staring unbelieving.
"Gohan how do you know the Briefs and Yamcha?" She asked.
"Old family friends, ever sense my dad was little." At the mention of his father, Gohan stopped smiling and didn't talk much. For the next few minuets the presentation went on with Yamcha, who was trying to ignore the spiking Kai's of Goten and Trunks. Several glares later Bulma walked up and Yamcha joined Gohan on the bleachers. "You two had better stop that or I'll tell Bulma and Vegeta just who blew up the G Room yesterday." Goten and Trunks went white and climbed down off Gohan's shoulders and squeezed themselves in between Gohan and Videl. Actually Goten sat on Gohan's lap as he talked with Yamcha. Vegeta was down there glaring at everybody and then Chi-Chi joined Gohan and the others.
"Hello Gohan, your going to have to leave school a bit early today, right after this presentation of that . . .. that"
"Mom I would like you to meet SATAN Videl." Gohan put and emphasis on her last name and his mother shut up, well almost, she was still grumbling about credit stealers and how her baby deserved to beat the crap out of the bastard.
Gohan held a blank face as Videl looked at everyone confusedly. Then the lights went out and two spotlights turned on. Someone suddenly dripped in from the sky, "Hi Piccolo. Nice cloak and entrance, I don't think anyone saw you." Gohan said not even looking you as Hercule Satan suddenly appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Yamcha asked. Piccolo ignored him as usual,
'Are you alright Gohan?' Piccolo asked him mentally.
'Ya, I think I'm moving on, I'm not really sure. I laughed at Vegeta a little while ago. No the smartest thing in the world but I guess it's a start . . ..' His mental voice abruptly stopped as Hercule Satan pointed at him. Gohan looked confused, he had not been paying attention.
"Come on kid, I don't have all day." Hercule shouted, "Get your scrawny weak self down here now or are you afraid of the GREAT HERCULE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD?"
Gohan's anger shot through the roof and he almost went Super Saiya-jin.
"Sure a fight, no problem, but you'll soon find out that hes not as weak as he looks." Piccolo suddenly said. "As his teacher in Martial Arts, You challenge me and my student. Gohan, this might be a good time for you to teach Goten a thing or two about fighting stances, The buffoon down there might learn how to protect himself."
Vegeta couldn't help it he roared with laughter.
"I never thought you had it in you Namak." He said, roaring with laughter. Gohan even grinned.
"Okay, come on Goten, you too Trunks, but you do know Piccolo, were gonna have one monster of a headache trying to erase everyone memories."
"I know, but this time you can beat the snot outta the man who too the credit for your win against Cell."
Hercule went white and everyone else gasped.
"Ah, I don't really care about that. I care more about my father who died in that battle because of me. This is like trying to clear my own name I guess. Can I have that bag of sensu's please?" He asked. Piccolo handed him the bag and turned to Vegeta and Yamcha.
"Could you too make sure no one leaves, were gonna erase everyone's memories when were done." Piccolo asked the too.
"Okay," Yamcha said.
"Finally, Kakkarotts brat fights back for his honor this should be good." Vegeta agreed.
There were outraged answers from the crowed but then Gohan jumped into the air, Trunks and Goten next to him, Bulma, Vegeta, Chi-Chi, Yamcha, and Piccolo all jumped behind them. For once Bulma wasn't scared to do something like that and even landed with perfect grace. Gohan, Goten and Trunks landed in the makeshift ring. The fight would begin soon . . ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ohh a cliffhanger, I'm am innocent of this crime. ::has a halo over her head and devil horns right under it.:: anyway I'm doing the next chapter so keep your horses on. What will Gohan do to Hercule? Why is he bringing Goten and Trunks into this? Will Gohan ever get past his father's death? Read and find out!

Piccolo: I really don't like that cloak, it covers too much and is confining.
Gohan: YAHH I finally get to kick Hercule's ASS!

Chi-Chi: ::Swings Almighty Frying Pan of Doom © at Gohan's head.::
Gohan:: ::BANG!:: OW FINE I WON'T DO IT AGAIN!"
Vegeta: Weakling
Bulma: ::Grins evilly at Vegeta holding her own Frying Pan.::
Vegeta: Woman . . ..
TO BE CONTINUED!

He headed for Vegeta's, leaving the school half an hour early. He walked along the streets and then noticed that he didn't know where Capsule Corp. was! He'd only been there when his father had done Instant Transmission. He didn't really know the way. After an hour or so of aimless walking, he ran into someone. "Sorry," he grumbled, not looking up from the ground.
"SON GOHAN!" The voice yelled. He finally looked up into the face of Satan Videl.
"What?" he asked.
"How in the world did you hit that ball that far?"
He then remembered that Yamcha played baseball. He'd tried to teach Gohan, but Gohan never got it. "Tips from a friend?" he suggested. It wasn't really a lie, but it was close enough.
"Who? I wanna know!" Videl asked.
"Kakkarott's brat get in here now!" Vegeta yelled from the doorway.
Gohan looked up to see Vegeta and didn't answer Videl, he said, "Hey Vegeta." Vegeta was taken aback by Gohan's tone of voice, which was excited, and happy?
"Let's spar," Vegeta spied Videl. "You can talk to your new mate later, lets go." Vegeta grabbed Gohan's arm and dragged him inside.
"See ya tomorrow Videl, and what the heck do you mean shes my mate! I'm too young to have a mate!" Gohan complained . . ..
The month passed and Gohan opened up to Videl, Erasa, and yes, even Sharpener. But when May rolled around, Gohan completely closed up.
"Hey Gohan, wanna eat lunch with us?" Videl asked, but Gohan didn't hear her. He was walking aimlessly, he hadn't eaten much in the last few days and he would barely speek to anyone. He wouldn't even smile for Goten. He tried ohh he tried, but failed. He wouldn't even fight Vegeta because he was so depressed. And then He came to the school. It started on 'Hercule Satan Day', the day he had killed his father. The school was called down for and assembly. Several people were called down just for fun, famous people, like Yamcha and Bulma. A few people he didn't know and when Yamcha walked out, Gohan was a bit heartened at this. An old friend. Gohan sat at the top of the bleachers and spiked his Kai. Yamcha broke of in mind word, looking around to where he felt the Kai. He was shocked to see Gohan sitting there. Forgetting about the teacher he was talking to, she huffed and walked off, he waved his hand to Gohan and called out,
"Hey Gohan, come down here, we need to talk." Gohan gave a faint smile, but you couldn't really see it, as he stood up, much to the shock of everyone there.
"Hey Yamcha, hows your sparing coming around, you have a weaker Kai then before." Gohan mumbled, but everyone was silent as the too walked a ways off, Videl deciding to follow.
"How ya holdin up Gohan?" Yamcha asked with concern. "You really shouldn't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault that he died. It was Cells." At Cell's name Videl's interest sparked up more.
"It was my fault. If only I had done as he said he wouldn't have died and he would still be here telling mom I'm too smart to go to this hell hole!" Gohan growled, hitting the wall, causing it to slightly dent, Videl didn't notice it because she couldn't see the two; she was hiding behind a trashcan.
"It's not your fault. I just wish that pompous ass hadn't taken the credit for your work. It's not fair to you, I mean you were the one who . . .."
"I know that, it helps though, knowing that I could beat the shit outta that bastard any day I want to."
"Hey Yamcha, Gohan, I didn't know you started school here." Bulma walked up to Yamcha and Gohan, Vegeta following behind with Trunks.
"Hey Bulma, Vegeta, wow Trunks you've grown up." Yamcha said.
"Hey Gohan, how ya holdin out?" Bulma asked.
"Like I wanna beat the shit outta something." Gohan mumbled, not caring about the look Bulma sent his way.
"Gravity room anytime any place." Vegeta said.
"Nah, Trunks might be a better spar" This made Vegeta so angry that Gohan had to laugh. This shocked everyone, but they soon broke into laughter too. Vegeta decided to ignore this sense it was that day and suffered. "I was just kidding Vegeta, I'll be there after school. Jeez its been forever sense I laughed like that." Gohan said. Trunks gave Gohan a hug and asked Bulma,
"Mom can I sit with Gohan!" The hyper seven-year-old asked.
"Sure, just behave, you know the deal." Bulma warned and Trunks shouted YAY and pounced on Gohan's shoulders, nearly knocking him over.
"Guess you guys better get to the presentation, see you guys after, if I can ever get past that crowd, I might decide to let body start flying." Gohan said as he walked off, leaving very worried friends behind her.
"Gohan can we really spar after school?"
"Sure Trunks, just go easy on me, I haven't done it in a little while, a month or more I think."
"Okay, I promise I won't go super on you." Trunks promised.
"Hey isn't that mom and Goten?" Gohan asked, stopping in his tracks and heading that way. Videl was following, getting more curious over him. Vegeta noticed this and spiked his Kai, everyone looked at him and he nodded to the bleachers where Videl was hiding, Videl missed this, and Gohan nodded.
"Hiya mom, what are you doing here."
"I'm here to give that MAN a piece of my mind, and to see Yamcha and Bulma. Can you watch Goten for a while?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Sure mom, but don't embarrass me please, I'm running a bit low and sensu beans." His mother nodded, knowing what he meant by that.
"Gohan can I ride on your shoulders too!?" Goten asked. Gohan nodded and sat on Gohan's other shoulder.
"So Goten, how was your morning?" Gohan asked as he made his way to his seat. Videl suddenly appeared a few seconds later.
"Nothing, hey Gohan, I meant to ask you, to you hit this all the way home a few months ago?" Goten held up the baseball. Videl's eyes bugged, It was the same baseball that Gohan had hit in his first P.E class.
"It was only a month Goten, and ya I did. Glad ya got it, just hope mom forgets about the broken window. I remember when I got home I got the frying pan to the head, twice, and then I had to fix the window." Trunks burst out laughing and Videl was staring unbelieving.
"Gohan how do you know the Briefs and Yamcha?" She asked.
"Old family friends, ever sense my dad was little." At the mention of his father, Gohan stopped smiling and didn't talk much. For the next few minuets the presentation went on with Yamcha, who was trying to ignore the spiking Kai's of Goten and Trunks. Several glares later Bulma walked up and Yamcha joined Gohan on the bleachers. "You two had better stop that or I'll tell Bulma and Vegeta just who blew up the G Room yesterday." Goten and Trunks went white and climbed down off Gohan's shoulders and squeezed themselves in between Gohan and Videl. Actually Goten sat on Gohan's lap as he talked with Yamcha. Vegeta was down there glaring at everybody and then Chi-Chi joined Gohan and the others.
"Hello Gohan, your going to have to leave school a bit early today, right after this presentation of that . . .. that"
"Mom I would like you to meet SATAN Videl." Gohan put and emphasis on her last name and his mother shut up, well almost, she was still grumbling about credit stealers and how her baby deserved to beat the crap out of the bastard.
Gohan held a blank face as Videl looked at everyone confusedly. Then the lights went out and two spotlights turned on. Someone suddenly dripped in from the sky, "Hi Piccolo. Nice cloak and entrance, I don't think anyone saw you." Gohan said not even looking you as Hercule Satan suddenly appeared.
"What are you doing here?" Yamcha asked. Piccolo ignored him as usual,
'Are you alright Gohan?' Piccolo asked him mentally.
'Ya, I think I'm moving on, I'm not really sure. I laughed at Vegeta a little while ago. No the smartest thing in the world but I guess it's a start . . ..' His mental voice abruptly stopped as Hercule Satan pointed at him. Gohan looked confused, he had not been paying attention.
"Come on kid, I don't have all day." Hercule shouted, "Get your scrawny weak self down here now or are you afraid of the GREAT HERCULE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD?"
Gohan's anger shot through the roof and he almost went Super Saiya-jin.
"Sure a fight, no problem, but you'll soon find out that hes not as weak as he looks." Piccolo suddenly said. "As his teacher in Martial Arts, You challenge me and my student. Gohan, this might be a good time for you to teach Goten a thing or two about fighting stances, The buffoon down there might learn how to protect himself."
Vegeta couldn't help it he roared with laughter.
"I never thought you had it in you Namak." He said, roaring with laughter. Gohan even grinned.
"Okay, come on Goten, you too Trunks, but you do know Piccolo, were gonna have one monster of a headache trying to erase everyone memories."
"I know, but this time you can beat the snot outta the man who too the credit for your win against Cell."
Hercule went white and everyone else gasped.
"Ah, I don't really care about that. I care more about my father who died in that battle because of me. This is like trying to clear my own name I guess. Can I have that bag of sensu's please?" He asked. Piccolo handed him the bag and turned to Vegeta and Yamcha.
"Could you too make sure no one leaves, were gonna erase everyone's memories when were done." Piccolo asked the too.
"Okay," Yamcha said.
"Finally, Kakkarotts brat fights back for his honor this should be good." Vegeta agreed.
There were outraged answers from the crowed but then Gohan jumped into the air, Trunks and Goten next to him, Bulma, Vegeta, Chi-Chi, Yamcha, and Piccolo all jumped behind them. For once Bulma wasn't scared to do something like that and even landed with perfect grace. Gohan, Goten and Trunks landed in the makeshift ring. The fight would begin soon . . ..
