A/N: Hiya There!  As some of you know, I tend to get the first couple of chapters steamrolled out at an alarming pace, before eventually slowing down and taking quite a bit of time about getting each out.  With this particular story, I have about a quarter of it already written, and it only needs to be typed.  I hope you're enjoying this story, it's a pleasure to hear from you!

Disclaimer: Is my name Akira Toriyama?  No.  Do I own DBZ?  No.  Are These pointless questions that everybody already knows the answer to?  Yes.

***First Period LA***

Videl glared at the teacher.  Why couldn't he shut up for a minute?!  She hated her new schedule.  It was only four weeks into senior year and already the first three periods were living hell.  Somehow she had managed to get into ALL of Sharpener and Erasa's classes, but only THREE of Gohan's! Grrr…

Her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened and a strange girl stepped in. 

Videl blinked. 

If the girl hadn't obviously had a mature body, she would have guessed the newbie was around 10!  Instead she was dressed very oddly, and came complete with DARK BLUE HAIR! Now THAT threw Videl off. 

The teacher smiled and beckoned the girl forward. 

"Class, I'd like to introduce our newest student.  Iirynaliia Avhmaelyn."

Videl could tell by the expression on the girl's face that the teacher had horribly butchered the pronunciation. 

Chibi cleared her throat.  "Please sir, my name is nearly impossible to pronounce, everybody calls me Chibi instead." 

THAT made everybody grin, even Videl.  She had the feeling she was going to like this Chibi character.  The teacher smiled and gestured up towards Videl. 

"Ok Chibi, why don't you have a seat up by Videl, and we'll continue class." 

Chibi walked over and slid in.  She smiled and stuck her hand out silently.  Videl returned both the smile and the shake.  The girl's eyes met, and Chibi felt a friendship bond start to form. 

The two were pleasantly surprised to find that they had all of their classes together and had a common interest in the martial arts.

***Lunchtime***

Finally the third period bell rang for lunch and everyone stampeded out. 

Videl and Chibi quickly got their stuff from their lockers and walked out to the quad. 

Picking a grassy spot underneath the oak tree, Videl threw down a capsule and a large, comfortable picnic blanket spread out. 

Chibi and Videl settled down and were very quickly joined by Sharpener and Erasa. 

Rather than eat, (Chibi didn't need to) she sat laughing and talking and sipping her Mountain Dew. 

About five minutes into lunch, Videl spotted Gohan and waved him over. 

He was on his way when he suddenly stopped dead. 

His eyes met Chibi's and went huge, jaw dropping anime style.  Chibi grinned and jumped up.  Gohan returned the grin, only twice as big and loped towards her, holding out his arms.  Needing no further invitation, Chibi flung herself forward at the much taller teen. 

She laughed in delight as he grabbed her waist and twirled her effortlessly around in a circle before bringing her down to kiss her noisily on the forehead.  She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling him while her legs hung a good foot off the ground. 

The rest of the group blinked, sweatdropping.

 Dropping lightly to her feet, Chibi grabbed Gohan's hand and darted over to the blanket, tugging Gohan along possessively. 

He Grinned™ at the others and settled down crosslegged to eat across from Chibi and next to Videl. 

"Well Chibi-chan, you are most CETAINLY the LAST person I would expect to find here!" 

Chibi winked.  "Aren't I just!" 

He continued to scarf his food, but raised his eyebrow in silent question.  She smirked. 

"I'm staying with Bulma and company for a year, life gets lonely Up There sometimes." 

The others didn't catch the reference, but Gohan did.  He nodded, licking his fingers clean. 

"I'm surprised that Shin let you come!  No offense or anything, but KAMI that guy is overprotective!" 

She sighed.  "I agree, but Shin had to go away for a big gathering thingy.  I managed to pout enough that he arranged for me to spend my time with you fine folks.  After all, nothing can happen to me anyways!" 

Gohan and she both smirked at this last, and the others simply stared, in WAY over their heads.  They weren't sure what they were talking about, but it made no sense what so ever, that's for sure. 

Videl pouted, she wasn't sure what was going on between Gohan and Chibi, but she was sure that what ever it was, it couldn't be good for her massive crush on the afore mentioned male. 

She was rather hurt in fact, she knew she had no right to be, she and Gohan weren't 'together' or anything, but she had been pretty sure that Gohan liked her as much as she liked him! 

She sighed in defeat as the two chatted pleasantly. 

Suddenly one of Chibi's comments caught Videl's attention. 

"So Gohan, have you made the moves on any girls yet?" 

^Does that mean he's still free? There's nothing between him and Chibi?^ 

Videl was astounded!  Gohan blushed a bit. 

"You know I haven't Chibi!  Kami knows you know more about my love life than I do!"

Chibi smirked.  "That may be true, but only because you're soooo easy to read and because I've been exposed to my own lovely, unpredictable Shin for so long.  Speaking of Shin…"

"NO!  Save that for my mom, I don't want or need to know about your love life.  That is NOT appropriate discussion around me, especially in regards to you!  I just can't stomach the thought of ANYONE thinking about you in THAT way!" 

Gohan shuddered expressively and grimaced as Chibi chortled in glee. 

Videl and Erasa stared wide eyed at the duo, then exchanged a glance. 

^riiiiight…^

Chibi smirked at her younger friend; man, with this long on earth they might even manage to become as infamous as they had when they first met!

=Flashback=

Chibi sighed and continued to stroll around in the Other World. 

There was a huge stir because some monster named Cell had just been destroyed, and several new faces were being welcomed in. 

One face in particular had caught her attention, reminding her of someone she had known awhile ago. 

The young boy was looking around, bewildered, as if he couldn't figure out where he was. 

She walked over and introduced herself. 

Even at 11, the kid was taller than she was. 

Not recognizing her for what she was, the two had begun to talk and bond. 

For the year that the little boy had remained dead, the two rarely separated.  It had been another one of those gathering for Kais and Shin wasn't around, so she simply hung around. 

The duo had quickly become infamous and everybody knew them by sight and reputation:  The Supreme Kai's Onna, and the Warrior Child who had defeated Cell at the cost of his own life.  Chibi had continued training the boy, wanting him to keep getting stronger and stronger, and in return, she found someone to whom she could turn to for simple, innocent fun. 

When the time came that the Dragonballs had been gathered and the Warrior Child was being wished back, he had wanted to stay.  But Chibi wouldn't let him.  She finally told him who she was, and promised that she would visit him often.  He had gone back, and she had returned to Shin, her love. 

But she didn't forget her promise.  Every year she went back to Earth several times to visit with the Warrior Child.

=End Flashback=

Chibi smiled, eyes glossed over.  It was many a night that she or Gohan would tap into their bond and simply chat.  She had helped him through many of his problems, including the ones with Videl. 

When he was unable to talk to his mother for fear of ridicule or teasing, Chibi was there to help him along.  And even better, Chibi was, and would never truly be anything but, a young 17 year old.  Frozen eternally in time on the day she had made her bond with the Supreme Kai, she was the perfect age for him to turn to for advice on girls and the such.

Chibi was so lost in thought that she didn't hear the bell ring. 

Gohan grinned, picking up a tiny taste of where her thoughts lay.  He shook her gently, then more forcefully until she snapped awake. 

She blinked sleepily at Gohan and he grinned, pulling her to her feet and leading the way towards their fourth period class.

A/N: Next chapter will be out on monday morning, I'm off on "vacation" til then.  (actually, it's more of a Parents-drag-you-to-see-your-annoying-little-relatives-many-of-whom-are-in-or-belong-in-an-insane-assylum.)  *sigh* the things I put up with for the sake of family peace… Anyhoo… I hope you're enjoying this, and I'll be back soon!
