Hello. Here's yet another Dragonball story set in my Royalty Series. If you've never read any of them, you may want to, otherwise certain situations and characters may be rather confusing. Here's the timeline to date, with "B+ number" meaning how many years after the Buu saga the story takes place:
**Buu**
Saiyans On The Road-- B+ 2
Time Passages-- B+ 2 1/2
…|
…--------Gohan And Videl's Bachelor Parties (during the final chapter of Time Passages)
Tourney Nights-- B+ 3
The White King And The Black King-- B+ 3 1/2
The Unexpected Target-- B+ 3 1/2
Human Blues-- B+ 3 1/2
The New Student-- B+ 4 (this story)
This story is based mainly around Gohan and Videl (Pan is still a couple of years away from making her entrance), though of course lots of other characters will be appearing. I hope you enjoy it, but even if you don't, please leave a review. Thanks!

Gohan crawled into bed, next to his wife of nearly a year, Videl. It was rather early in the morning, and Vegeta had just finished reclaiming the Saiyan kingship from him, which circumstances had forced him to hold for six months.
"Hey," she said drowsily as he pulled the covers back over himself.
"Sorry for waking you up," he replied nearly as sleepily.
"Eh, 's no big deal. What was that all about?"
"V'geta took the crown back. Nappa went with him, back to Capsule Corp."
"Shame. He made a good servant."
"Yep. But at least we have the house to ourselves again." The two of them cuddled close together, Gohan resting his head on her shoulder, Videl planting her face in his hair.
"I'd call that a fair tradeoff."
***
The next day, Videl's father, Mr. Satan, called.
"Hey Dad. What's up?"
"Hello precious. I just wanted to let you know that I have an anniversary present for you."
"Oh, thanks Dad! But it's not for another week."
"I know, but this one has kind of a time limit on it."
She raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"You know how you never got around to college?" She nodded, then remembering he couldn't hear that, she murmured. Between the whole mess with Buu, falling in love with Gohan, and becoming the Great Saiyaman Two, going to college had just kind of gotten lost. "Well, I've applied for you to enter several colleges, and we should have their responses back for your anniversary. Of course, I'll pay for it all."
She brought her hand to her mouth. "DAD! Wow...I don't know how to thank you for that."
"No thanks are necessary, just do a good job like I know you will. Well, I gotta go. I love you ."
"Love you too, Dad. Thanks again!"
"You're welcome. Bye."
"Bye." She hung up the phone and, for a moment, she simply stood with her mouth open. Then she rushed into the bedroom where Gohan was rearranging the contents of one of the bookcases. Before he could say anything, she jumped onto him, wrapping her arms around him and knocking him back into the bookcase.
"Uh...is something wrong?"
"Not at all."

A week later, the couple had finished unwrapping their anniversary presents. Goku and Chi-Chi had sent over a lavishly prepared multi-course anniversary dinner (to Gohan's partial surprise; it looked like his mother had finally accepted Videl). Vegeta and Bulma had sent two passes for a weekend at a tropical romantic retreat. Kuririn and Juuhachigou had given them Kuririn's old set of battle armor from Namek, as a souvenir of days past. Yamcha and Pu'ar (who themselves had been married a few months) had simply sent flowers, as had Mirai (an older Trunks who had returned from his alternate timeline once and for all) and Jennifer (his lawyer fiancee).
That night, before the 'celebrations' could really begin in earnest, Mr. Satan arrived, with the college admission results.
"Well," he said, "As hard as this is to believe, only one of the colleges accepted you, so I've enrolled you there."
"Which one?" He told her. "DAD!"
"What?"
Gohan spoke up. "Um, that's where I teach."
Mr. Satan shrugged. "Oh, I know. I called them and asked them about that, but they said there was nothing in their rules or regulations about it."
His son-in-law scratched his head. "Actually, I think that's right."
"Good. Oh, I almost forgot! Here's the class sign-up forms. Just give them back to me before you go off this weekend."
Videl nodded. "No problem."
***
She completed and gave her father the forms the day before they left for the tropical romantic retreat, which was heaven. When they got back, Mr. Satan called again; a couple of the classes she had signed up for were full, so she'd been shifted into different time slots.
Next Monday, classes started. She and Gohan flew to the college together, then went their separate ways; he to teach, she to learn. Her first class was philosophy, taught by elderly Professor Rinrigaku. It sounded a bit daunting, perhaps, but she felt she could handle it.
Next was biology. This was one of the classes that had been full, so she didn't know who her professor would be. She waited for a few minutes with the rest of the students (most of whom were several years younger than her), and then the door at the back of the room opened. Her blood chilled as a very familiar voice behind her said five words.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Professor Son!"
