Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ.
This is Gohan/Videl, probably some romance but that isn't the main purpose of this fic. The main purpose is 2 fold.
Firstly this is a challenge to myself to write something with chapters shorter than 5000 words, and preferably in the 2000 to 3000 word range. Both just for the heck of it, and to do something about my sister's (Pteska) need to impress me with longer chapters ;). Also to stop myself from constantly saying mine's bigger ;).
Pteska saying: I object your honour.
Judge saying: Approved.
TW saying: Withdrawn.
//Note, those last three lines are by Pteska.
Second it's a place for me to use all my rejected but funny scenes, as well as some new for this fic and funny scenes.
Responses to reviews:
To Jer:
Well it's actually been mentioned in this fic before, but to answer your question Gohan is stronger than Vegeta. As far as the softening up on Videl is concerned their relationship continues to develop though I'm not sure whether or not you could call it softening up.
To Snow:
Glad you liked the Goten, Trunks, Vegeta scene. I'm also glad you thought it was believable. Believability is one of the things I try to keep in mind as I write, I don't really enjoy stories that lose to much of their believability myself. As far as the different spacing is concerned, I'll have to think about it. I'm planning to do a complete check on this entire fic once it's finished, so maybe I'll include it then.
To Kat:
Well I'm not adding Piccolo yet, but he should put in an appearance before the end of this fic.
To Everyone:
Thanks a lot for the reviews, I'm glad you like the story.
Gohan Goes To Highschool
Chapter 10: Surviving Camp
The morning of the second day of camp passed with very few unusual events. The only thing out of the ordinary that happened was that one of the rafts, containing Gohan and Videl as well as four other students and Antino hit a section of the rapids they weren't supposed to go to, because it was too dangerous.
In fact they narrowly managed to avoid falling down a 10 foot waterfall and as they were rowing away from it Videl had a chance to observe that Gohan's arms were definitely strong. She was rowing on one side of the boat with three of the other four students while Gohan on the other side had only one helper but still managed to keep up with them. Antino wasn't rowing since he'd fainted the instant he realised something was wrong.
The afternoon was a free part of the program, so that people could get some sleep to prepare them for staying up very late at night. Gohan and Videl however once again joined each other in the tree they'd already shared that morning.
Videl smiled as she looked at Gohan, he looked so relaxed with his legs stretched out along the branch, half sitting, half lying on his side, leaning his upper body against the trunk sideways.
It was almost some sort of Robin Hood in a Gi on a lazy day picture. Gohan simply relaxing on a branch. She herself had to admit to some nerves though as she sat there. Not because of the height, but because as a city girl she just wasn't used to balancing on a branch. Only a few times before in her life had she ventured to climb a tree, in Satan City park, or Orange Star City Park as it was called when she first went there, years before the Cell games and the subsequent renaming of the city.
But climbing trees there had always been a matter of haste, technically you weren't allowed to climb trees there. And later when she'd started to help the police and could basically do what she wanted climbing trees had seemed too childish. But somehow the way she'd seen Gohan sitting up here early in the morning had shoved aside that judgement, maybe because Gohan didn't seem to care whether it was childish or not.
"So Gohan." She started the conversation. "What do you think about this dropping tonight?"
Gohan looked at her and smiled a little. "I think it's probably the best part of this camp, which isn't saying much for this camp."
Videl smiled too. He was right, however enthusiastic most of the others might be about this whole thing she didn't think it was all that good.
"What do you think about Antino?" She questioned.
Gohan shrugged against he tree. "About what I'd expect from one of your father's students to be honest."
That certainly wasn't the answer Videl had been expecting. "Excuse me. My dad happens to be a great martial artist, I certainly wouldn't expect his pupils to be losers like Antino!" She yelled, though not really loudly enough to reach the camp below.
To her surprise Gohan threw his head back and laughed.
"Come now Videl." He said once he'd stopped laughing. "You spend time with Sayaman from time to time, you should have realised by now that compared to some people your dad couldn't even fight his way into a paper bag, let alone out of one."
Videl sat there shocked. She'd half thought, half suspected the same thing for a while now, certainly after that memorable kiss and talk incident with Sayaman. But part of her hadn't wanted to accept it, part of it still didn't want to accept it. But the calm way Gohan had simply stated it seemed to make it far more realistic somehow.
"But the things Sayaman does are just tricks, right?" Videl knew she was grasping at straws but she somehow couldn't fully bring herself to believe it yet.
Gohan shook his head. "Not the way you mean tricks." He answered. "The way you, and your father use the word you mean they're acts of deceit or some kind of illusion. In another sense of the word, where a trick is simply an uncommon ability, it's true. So it is a trick in the sense of being able to hold your breath for five minutes, most people can't do it, but it can be done, it's not a trick in the sense of an illusion, or a cheat, or any other form of deceit."
"And how would you know?" Videl questioned, still grasping firmly at the few straws that remained.
"I know how he does what he does." Gohan answered. "Just like I know how to do telepathy, something you probably also thought of as a trick before this morning." [But I can assure you it isn't.]
Videl's face reflected the shock she felt as she heard Gohan's voice in her mind. 'He's really telepathic.' She thought.
"Yes I am." Gohan said, speaking aloud again. "But you have to force it to communicate with a non-telepath, gives you a hell of a headache." He rubbed his temples as if to illustrate.
"So could you mind spar with me, like you did with Vegeta?" Videl asked.
"Technically yes, but really no." Gohan answered.
"And what do you mean by that?"
"I could, even on my own, create and force a telepathic reality for a mind spar, but you would be little more than a punching bag."
"I suppose you think you're a lot better than me at martial arts!" Videl said, slightly angry.
Gohan shook his head. "That isn't what I meant, you would be little more than a punching bag. Because even if I succeeded in creating a body for you in that reality, which is tricky to do for others, you wouldn't be able to move it. You probably don't have any experience using any sort of mental body and until you're a telepath you couldn't possibly influence your telepathic body. And before you ask, yes I could train you to develop telepathic skills, but I don't have a couple of weeks to spare right now."
"But you could teach me some time?" Videl asked.
"Perhaps." Gohan answered. "It all depends on a number of factors, whether I have the time is one major factor, whether I think you have enough potential to learn at least relatively quickly is another. But it's not all together impossible. In any case however I don't even have time to chat anymore now, I still need to catch clean and eat a fish before dinner or I'll be hungry all night long. I won't have time after dinner today as we're going to get some sort of talk about safety during the dropping after dinner. That should be boring but it's obligatory. They'll probably do the dropping pretty soon after that, it gets dark pretty quickly in this area and dinner's late tonight because of the dropping."
Videl nodded again and watched as Gohan made his way back down the tree with apparent ease. She wasn't sure what she was going to do yet, she should probably try to get some sleep before dinner, after all she needed to be well rested tonight.
Gohan went about getting, cleaning and cooking his fish with the speed of a motivated demi-Saiyan. Even if dinner was late it wasn't a long way away, so speed was of the essence if he wanted to be more or less full for the night. He knew as well as anyone else that he really didn't need it, Saiyans loved to eat and generally ate a lot, but if they had to they could go without food for days, even weeks. He didn't like going without food though.
Only minutes after Gohan had finished his first, private, dinner the sound of a bell entering his cave from the outside warned him that the campers' regular dinner was served.
That dinner passed without anything out of the ordinary happening and when it was over the class was told to gather around mister Stevenson as he explained about the night's activities.
"Alright class." The PE teacher started his talk. "The sun will set about thirty minutes from now, and in another thirty it will be completely dark. Once the sun has set, during the twilight, we will go into a large jet-copter with blackened windows that will after at least half an hour drop us off somewhere not too far from here, but still a pretty long way away, so we'll be in for quite a hike. Now nobody amongst us will know where we are, even I won't be told, so we'll have to find our way back on our own. To do that we'll have to stay together as a group, for safety reasons and..."
Gohan allowed his attention to wander as Mr. Stevenson droned on about safety precautions. He was going to have to watch himself in his conversations with Videl, fortunately they wouldn't be alone all night, so no chance for her to really talk with him there, but he was starting to open up to her, and while he wasn't opposed to that entirely it needed to be in controlled doses.
When Mr. Stevenson's talk was over the class boarded the large jet-copter, which would be piloted by Antino, who wasn't coming with them. As it took off Antino circled several times and then they were off.
"Why did he circle?" A confused Erasa asked Videl in the passenger compartment. "I thought these things could take off vertically."
"They can." Videl explained. "But he circled so we would lose all sense of direction. That way if anyone checked which way the copter was facing before take off they still don't know where we're headed."
Erasa nodded, surprising everyone by seemingly grasping the concept in one go.
The flight was even more uneventful after that and there was a general sigh of relief when the class exited the jet-copter about 45 minutes after take off.
They hadn't actually flown a 45 minute distance of course, but their course had changed drastically from time to time to be sure to throw everyone's sense of direction off. And now that the class was out the jet-copter took off again, circling until it was above the clouds.
"Alright now!" Mr. Stevenson was clearly starting to feel (a little too) active. "We're here. And the first thing we have to figure out is where here is. Now I've got a detailed map of the region and a flashlight. So we should be able to work out where we are in relation to any major geological features around and use that to get back to camp."
He produced the items and directed the beam of his flashlight on the map.
"EEEEEHHHHH!" A loud scream from Erasa caused him to turn rapidly and drop his flashlight, which stopped shining as it hit the ground.
"What is it Erasa?" He asked, trying to let his eyes adjust to the complete darkness, with the only light coming from the stars above, shining through openings in the could cover.
"I thought I saw something." Erasa said.
Mr. Stevenson muttered under his breath for a moment and then picked up his flashlight again. His expression, though virtually invisible in the darkness, displayed his worry as he noticed the switch still in the 'ON' position. Which meant something else had to be wrong.
He cursed as he found the problem, the lamp had broken in the fall, there was no way for him to repair it, and as per instructions no-one else had a lamp.
Gohan smiled at the panicked look on Mr. Stevenson's face. The man looked so helpless here in the darkness, though Gohan didn't see what the problem was.
'My Saiyan side would really be laughing its head off right now.' He thought to himself.
'Oh I am, more or less.' His Saiyan side answered. 'Why do you think you find it funny? You've started to reintegrate me into your personality over the last few days.'
'Why?'
'I'm not sure, I guess it's being in the wilderness and being near Videl all the time.'
'Alright, go slow with Vi... Do you smell that?'
'Of course I smell it, I'm you remember.'
Gohan stopped his internal conversation and concentrated on the smell that was faintly reaching his nostrils. He sniffed the air purposefully, it was definitely there.
"Damn." He muttered under his breath. And Videl was about to ask him what was wrong when he continued loud enough for everyone to hear. "There's Tyrannosaurus on the wind, I'd say three of them, about four miles away."
Even in the starlight Gohan could see the looks of disbelief on the faces of his classmates and on Mr. Stevenson's face, but he continued anyway.
"That at least tells us where we are, we must be north of the ridgeline probably by at least four miles."
"And how do you know that, Mr. Son." Mr. Stevenson asked in a sarcastic tone.
Gohan shrugged. "Only place around here where you'd expect to find a T-Rex, or three in this case. Let me guess, you used the Satan City Camper's Guide To Dinosaurs when you planned this little expedition."
"How'd you know that?" Mr. Stevenson seemed almost lost for words.
"Simple," Gohan replied, "it's the only Dinosaur book that misses half the migrational pathways, including this one, as well as two carnivore and three herbivore habitats. The only reason it sells is because Hercule endorses it. Next time I'd advice you to either get Richards' Standard Guide To Dinosaurs, or the Deluxe Version of Capsule Corp's Interactive Dino-Safety package, which includes all habitat and pathway data in hard-copy. I think Richards has this place listed and I know for a fact the CC package does, because I co-wrote that and added this place myself."
"I really don't believe you co-wrote something like that." Mr. Stevenson said, using anger as his defence. "And even if you did, I don't believe that anyone can smell a dinosaur at four miles."
"Listen!" For the first time ever Videl heard Gohan yell in anger as he walked up to Mr. Stevenson somewhat threateningly. "If you want to be incompetent around base-camp that's fine. You didn't screw up that location so no dinos there. If you want to be incompetent back at school that's fine too, no dinos there either. But if you get me and my friends stranded in the wilderness in the dead of the night in an area that is a known Migrational pathway for T-Rex and at least three other types of carnivore you'd better sit back while I take charge, or else I might just tie you to a tree and leave you to wait until a T-Rex comes by looking for a midnight snack!"
"And why would you take charge?"
"Because I'm the only person that can get you out of here alive. There's three of them on the wind that means a pack, T-Rexes usually hunt solitary but they can group into packs if there are large herbivores around. Packs are between half a dozen and a dozen animals, I smell three, so there are at least three others around here somewhere.
I've spent four months of my life running from Tyrannosaurs, but I survived and for the next two months they ran from me even though I didn't have any weapon but a sword. I've literally eaten T-Rex for breakfast. So trust me, I'm the only one that can get this group out of here alive, that makes me responsible and it puts me in charge. Is that clear?!!"

Next time on Gohan goes to Highschool, is it clear? And will Gohan succeed in getting his class out of there and back to the safety of their camp? What will Videl think of Gohan's new attitude? And does a surprise spell trouble on Thursday? If you want to find out, don't miss the next chapter of Gohan goes to Highschool.
Well there you have it, please review.
BTW has anyone else noticed that some people say R&R here? Don't you think that's a bit odd, you're at the bottom of the chapter and then they ask you to read and review? I mean I tried to do that once, read the chapter, please read and review, so I read it again, got to the bottom, read and review, so I read it again. You don't really get around to reviewing when you do that.

BTW has anyone else noticed that some people say R&R here? Don't you think that's a bit odd, you're at the bottom of the chapter and then they ask you to read and review? I mean I tried to do that once, read the chapter, please read and review, so I read it again, got to the bottom, read and review, so I read it again. You don't really get around to reviewing when you do that.
