A/N:  Hi again! I might have to write this quickly, my brother is being bitchy and is mad that I'm on the computer so early. (I think he's jealous)  So, just to spite him, I think I'll write you guys a nice, long chapter! ^____^  Have fun!

Disclaimer:  The Last time I checked, I didn't own DBZ, and I check nearly every day.

~*~ Chapter Six: Explosions ~*~

~*~

Bulma was so busy laughing that she didn't realize what Vegeta was doing until it was too late.

~@ NO VEGETA!!! Go Back!!! @~

She completely stopped laughing.  It wasn't funny anymore, now they were in serious jeopardy of these students discovering something they shouldn't. 

~ Now that I think about, so were all the other things, this is just more immediately visible… is this why Gohan got so angry? ~

"WOMAN" Vegeta screamed from above the CC building, "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

The entire class whirled around.  They stared, openmouthed as they saw Vegeta, floating in the air.  Gohan covered his face in his hands and began muttering about how incredibly stupid certain members of the royal family could be.

~@ Vegeta! Do you realize you are parading yourself in front of a bunch of teenage humans? @~

Vegeta looked down, and noticed, for the first time, that there were a large number of strangers on the front lawn. 

"Shit." Vegeta quickly began to try to come up with something he could do to ice over this mess.  ~ It's all the fault of Kakorrott's Brats! If they hadn't been in my wife's mind I wouldn't have bothered to come out here! ~

Not thinking about the consequences, Vegeta flew down to land on the grounds and stomped over to the group, still in his dirty gi.

"You, filthy Spawn of Kakorrott, are in deep shit." Vegeta smirked.  ~ That weakling will probably run away! ~

~*~

Gohan glowered and marched up to Vegeta, fuming.  ~ I shouldn't be glad about this, but I am.  One more thing I need to get off of my mind quickly.  I need a spar. ~

"You. Me. Spar. Now." He growled at Vegeta in monosyllables. 

He smirked as Vegeta's eyes widened slightly and a flicker of surprise passed over him.

"I have a hell of a lot on my mind right now, and you and your brat  haven't helped out a whole lot.  So you're gonna make it up to me.  Right Now.  But not here, somewhere where the uninitiated aren't going to see us."

~ Damn, I seem to be making a lot of angry speeches today! ~  Gohan smirked sarcastically.

Vegeta matched him glare for glare, but surprisingly, couldn't manage to surpass Gohan's.  He nodded shortly. 

"Fine.  As if Kakorrott's brat could beat me!" 

With that, they both turned around; Vegeta flying over the roof, and Gohan stomping through the house.

~*~

Videl was in shock.  When those little barbarians swarmed him, she had seen her kind gentle, never-get-mad-for-any-reason Gohan, get angry! 

And just now she had seen her always-calm-and-sensible boyfriend blow a fuse!

~ What the hell was that guys problem!  How dare he threaten my Gohan like that!? And why did Gohan challenge him to a spar, that other guy was big and muscular.  I didn't think Gohan could even fight! ~

Videl turned to look at Bulma, watching to see what she would do.

~*~

Bulma couldn't believe it.  Now she was left to explain to a crowd of mindless teenagers why they had seen a man fly, and why they had seen non-violent little Son Gohan go off to fight him.

~ They had better watch it, if those two blow my beautiful gravity chamber, I swear that I will skin both of their Saiyin hides. ~

Everybody was slowly turning to look at her.  She smiled hesitantly as her mind raced.

~ Why oh why do I always have to come with an excuse for those sorry males? ~

"Well, I think it's time to break for lunch!" Bulma said, more cheerfully than she felt.

"Um, Miss Briefs… Who was that?"  Asked a raven-haired girl from the back.

~ Say… Wasn't she hanging out with Gohan? ~

"Oh, that was my husband Vegeta!"  Everybody stared at her.

"…Uh, Why was he flying?" asked another kid, closer to the front.

Bulma smiled.  "He's a martial artist.  You've probably seen him compete.  He does it with another of my gadgets.  Unfortunately, the process of making them takes so long and is so expensive, I can't mass produce them."

This seemed to pacify most of them, although several still looked curious.

~ I'm good… I'm real good…Now I better make sure that none of the kids go off looking for my lab. ~

She got the kids to sit down and begin eating.  Everything was going smoothly…

~*~

Trunks and Goten had been sitting fairly calmly playing video games for about half  an hour, before their energy began to get the better of them.  They began to get overly aggressive and violent.

"NO FAIR YOU CHEATER!!"

"I'M NOT CHEATING, YOU ARE!!"

"FINE I'M NOT GONNA PLAY WITH YOU ANYMORE!"

"FINE!!!"

They glared at each other for thirty seconds before breaking out in grins.

"Lets go bug Gohan!" Trunks yelled, completely forgetting about The Threat.

Goten remembered and nixed the idea.  "Nah, remember what Gohan said… I happen to like my food and my life."

"Well fine, spoilsport!  Let's go look at mom's new invention!"  Trunks was very happy that Goten had remembered, he liked his food too.

~*~

Vegeta followed Gohan into the Chamber, and locked the door.  Gohan turned the gravity so that it was nearly unbearable.

Vegeta began to sweat.  This was several notches above what he normally used, and the Brat wasn't even hampered by it. 

~ This might be more challenging than I anticipated… ~

Vegeta began to warm up as Gohan grabbed an extra gi and threw it on.  It was /slightly/ too small, but hell if he cared right now!  He began to warm up as well.

~ Maybe I was overreaching when I turned the gravity so high ~ he thought wryly, he was feeling rather heavy at the moment.

Finally the two Saiyins faced each other and assumed a fighting stance.  They began to power up; each determined to win.

Vegeta reached up, nearly to SJ2, but couldn't quite make the jump.  Gohan, on the other hand, had emotions on his side.  He broke over and kept on rising.  Vegeta's nervousness grew.

~ I'll be damned if one of Kakarrott's brats beat me… ~

Finally Gohan stopped powering up, and the fight began.

(A/N: insert big fight scene I'm sorry, Lexi-sama is very bad at fight scenes.  Use your imagination, or beg until I decide to give in and spend a long time writing up a wonderfully awful scene that isn't worth the time it takes to write it.)

~*~

Videl and the class were enjoying a pleasant lunch on the lawn.  She, Sharpener, and Eraser were discussing what had happened.

"I still can't believe what those little guys were doing to some one as cute as Gohan!"  Eraser stated, still rather indignant on Gohan's part.

"I am still wondering how such a scrawny guy managed to hold those two like he did."  Sharpener replied.

"Oh, Gohan is quite a bit more muscular than he lets on" Videl said, not realizing the implications of what she said.  The other two stared at her.  Both were slightly jealous, although Eraser didn't begrudge Videl, she was good friends with both and knew they were perfect for each other.  Sharpener on the other hand…

"I want to know if I can convince Bulma to make ME one of those flying devices, my dad could certainly afford one!"  Videl continued, blithely unaware of the looks she was getting.

"I wonder what Gohan was thinking when he challenged that big muscled guy to a fight, a little wimpy book worm like Gohan couldn't possibly hold a candle to someone like that!"  Sharpener said with superiority. 

"Now wait a second!"  Eraser cried, "Gohan sure as hell ain't a wi…"

She stopped mid-word as the ground began rumbling.  The kids screamed and clutched each other.

Videl hung onto Eraser and looked around.  Bulma was still standing calmly eating her lunch!  She looked as if she didn't notice the shaking or the screams.

~ I'll be dammed if anyone else has more endurance than me! ~ Videl thought irritably.  ~ I might as well stand up too… ~  She struggled for a bit trying to get steady, when a sudden explosion sent everyone down to the ground, even Bulma.

~ damn it! ~  Bulma thought.  ~ So much for calm and in control! ~

Soon a roaring sound filled the air around her.

She looked over at her lovely gravity chamber.  Or, more correctly, where it used to be.  Now there was only a huge, pulsating golden aura.  The kids followed her gaze and their eyes widened.  Several girls fainted.

~ weaklings ~  Videl thought with disdain.  Bulma quickly ushered them behind the bus while mentally screaming at Vegeta.

~@ STOP THIS INSTANCE!!!  UNLESS HIS ALMIGHTY ROYAL HIGHNESS WANTS TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH FOR A YEAR OR TWO!!! @~

Almost instantaneously with her cry, the aura dimmed immensely.  Five seconds later it was gone, and there was a long moment of complete and utter silence, broken only by frightened whimpering.

~*~

Gohan stared at Vegeta's limp body.

~ Wonder why he stopped fighting at the last second… ~

He tilted his bead back to ease the pain in his neck. He stared up at the blue sky and fluffy clouds.

~ I love the sky… wait a second… SKY?… CLOUDS?!? Oh shit. ~

~ Well, that explains why Vegeta quit and why I don't feel heavy, as well as how I managed to knock someone as thickheaded as him out. ~

Gohan turned and changed back into his school clothes, after wiping himself off with a wash cloth.  Dressed, he walked back out to Vegeta, who was slowly coming too.

"You stopped fighting, Vegeta."  He stated warily.  "You should have blocked that last one."

Vegeta growled.  It was bad enough that the Brat had gotten the best of him, but going out of his way to be nice… That was more than Vegeta could handle right then.

"Out of my way, Spawn of Kakarrott" he growled menacingly and Gohan stepped aside in respect to the other /man's/ damaged pride.

~ The Brat is certainly acting strangely today… ~

~*~

Gohan grinned.  He felt amazingly good.  He had beaten the shit out of Vegeta, and had managed to scare the living daylights out of his brother and Trunks.

Whistling cheerfully he walked towards the last place the class had been. 

They weren't anywhere in sight. 

Sighing, he shut his eyes and felt around for their ki.

He frowned, why were they behind the bus?  Worried, he jogged towards them.

"Hey Bulma?!"

~*~

Bulma stiffened as she heard someone call her name, but relaxed when she recognized Gohan's voice.

"You kid," she said, glaring at him, "You are in trouble."

She pulled him out of the student's hearing range.

"You blew up my gravity chamber.  Do you realize how long it's going to take to fix?!  Do you understand how long I'm going to have to put up with a cranky Vegeta?!?!"

Gohan looked sheepish.  "I'm real sorry Bulma, but everyone seems to be conspiring against me today!  Besides," he continued with a grin, "if you have any problems with Vegeta, you can send him to me."

Bulma stared at him.  "If you say so…" she replied uncertainly.

Videl chose that moment to approach Gohan.

~*~

Videl was rather stunned.

After the explosion, Gohan had come back.  She was sure that he'd go over to make sure she was okay, but nooo, he went over to chat with that blue-haired bitch!

~ I wonder if there's a reason that he's 'almost family' with the Briefs… ~ 

She knew she was being cruel and unreasonable, but that was just a part of her personality.

Deciding that it was safe for now, Videl stomped over.

"Gohan!"

~*~

Gohan turned, amazed at the anger he heard in her voice.

"What's wrong Videl?"

"What's wrong? What's WRONG?! I'll tell you what's wrong, you bastards…"  she stopped at the look Bulma was giving her.  "What?!"  she snapped, annoyed.

"Videl?  THE Videl??"  Bulma asked incredulously.

Videl nodded in confusion as Gohan groaned.

Bulma clapped her hands with glee.  "Goody!  I've been dying to meet you ever since you and Gohan started going out!  Chi chi is very impressed with her future daughter-in-law!"  Gohan and Videl both sweatdropped, then began rapidly denying it. 

Suddenly there was a collective shriek from the teens behind the bus.

~ What now!? ~  All three thought at the same time, turning to see what was wrong…

A/N:  CLIFFY!!!  I LOVE cliffies!  They is the BEST!!! (except when they are in other people's stories that I'm enjoying ^__________^)

Guess what the class is shrieking about now!  I hope you like my nice long chapter!  (actually, it's not long at all, but at least its better than the LAST one^^!)
