Okay, here's the third chapter. It's nice and long, like I like it. Please please please review!



"Goten?"

"Yeah, Gohan?"

"How would you like to go to school?"

"What's school?"

Gohan sighed, Goten really did not get enough contact with he outside world. This was the right decision, "School is where a lot of children go to one building and learn about reading, and writing, and math and they play games."

"That sounds fun. I'll do it. When are we going?"

Gohan picked Goten up and put him on his lap, "Actually Squirt, it's just you who would go. I'm too old for school."

"Oh," the were both silent for a little while before Goten spoke again, "but Gohan, I don't want to go if you aren't going."

Gohan sighed, "You really need to go though Goten. It's only for six hours, five days a week. You'll get to meet other children and play lots of games. Then, when you get home, we can play and spar together. I know you'll have lots of fun."

"If you say so."

"Let's land down here Goten."

The two demi-saiyins flew quickly down to a deserted alley in Satan City. Gohan took his brother's hand as they exited the alley and looked down at Goten's face which was glowing with wonder. Gohan could imagine what it was like. The only people Goten knew or had seen up to this point were himself and Piccilo. Now he was standing midst a city full of people on their way to work; not to mention all of the tall buildings and cars that Goten had never seen the likes of before.

"Come on Squirt. You don't want to be late to school on your first day."

Goten nodded and the two walked toward Satan Elementary School, which was just around the block.

"Excuse me, Miss. I'm looking for Ms Carpenter's Second Grade Class, could you please give me directions." Gohan asked the elderly secretary.

She smiled and responded, "It's the first hall on your left, three doors down on the right, I believe."

"Thank you." Gohan replied, flashing her the Son family grin.

Goten was silent as they walked through the halls which were relatively empty. They were a little early. Gohan had wanted to introduce himself to Goten's teacher and make sure that Goten was settled before leaving. They stopped at the third door on the right, which was, as they had been told, Ms Carpenter's room.

"You ready to go in, Squirt?"

Goten gave a little nod and they stepped into the room. There were a couple students already there but no other parents or guardians. Winking down at Goten, Gohan approached the lady behind the desk, whom he assumed to be Ms Carpenter with Goten in tow.

"Ms Carpenter?"

"Yes?" A sweet looking elderly woman with gray spectacles smiled back at them.

"This is Goten, I think he's in your class."

Ms Carpenter nodded and looked towards who was shyly trying to hide behind his brother's hand.

"Hello Goten. I'm Ms Carpenter."

Goten did not respond and Gohan spoke for him to the still smiling Ms Carpenter, "Goten's a little shy, he's never been to school before and the environment it unsettling him I think. But once he gets over it, Goten is the sweetest little guy you'll ever meet," Gohan scooped Goten up into his arms, "Say hello to your teacher Squirt."

"Hi." Goten whispered and waved his hand a little before burying his face in Gohan's gi."

"It's very nice to meet you Goten! Why don't you have a seat right over there while I talk to your father for a minute."

Goten nodded, and walked the desk she had pointed at.

"Is there anything I need to know about Goten, Mr. Son? I can already tell that he's a special child."

"Actually, Ms Carpenter, I'm Goten's brother, not his father. I do, however have legal guardianship over him. Like I said a minute ago, Goten's likely to be a little shy a first but he'll warm up in no time. Goten has lived in the woods all of his life, so a lot of things in the city are new to him. Like today was the first time he saw skyscrapers and other things. So don't be surprised if when asked if he wants to be a mailman when he grows up, he doesn't know what a mailman is. There's one more thing, Goten, he um. He's been training in martial arts basically since birth so he's probably a good deal stronger than the other kids. I'm a little worried about him accidentally hurting them. He would never do anything on purpose, he just doesn't know his own strength. I've told him to be careful but if he gets worried about hurting someone doing an activity it would be great if he could just sit out. I assure you that he gets plenty of physical activities at home. If you don't believe me you can test his strength or something."

Ms Carpenter kept smiling but looked a little surprised at the information that Gohan had shared, "Indeed, Goten is a special child. I shall keep an extra eye out for him. There is one more thing, Mr. Son. A senior at Orange Star Highschool is going to be helping me out in the classroom and I need you to sign this sheet that allows her to interact with Goten."

"Of course," Gohan took the sheet and skimmed it quickly. He was surprised to see that the name of the highschooler was Videl Satan, "Is this Mr. Satan's daughter?"

"Yes," Ms Carpenter's smile got even wider, "yes, Videl is our Savior's daughter."

Gohan fought down a snort that threatened to come out and signed the form, "Here you go Ms Carpenter. May I talk say goodbye to Goten?"

"Of course."

Gohan walked over to where Goten was slouched, watching them in his chair. Gohan crouched on the balls of his feet, opened his arms and smiled, "Come here Squirt."

Goten ran towards him and the two hugged for a long moment before Gohan pryed Goten off of him, "You're gonna be fine Goten. Just remember not to fly, shoot ki blasts or anything. Try to be very very gentle with the other kids. Like if you play tag, bearly touch them and don't use your powers to run fast."

"Okay Gohan. I know."

"There's one more thing. You know how I told you about Cell?" Goten nodded, "Well everyone here thinks that a man called Hercule Satan beat Cell and they wouldn't believe you if you told them I beat Cell, so just play along, ok? Like a game?" Goten nodded again, "You're gonna be fine Squirt. Be nice to the other kids and the teacher and remember that I love you! Be brave, like Mommy and Daddy would be."

"I will. I love you too Gohan!" With that Goten hugged his brother and Gohan left that classroom.

There you have it! Videl should come in next chapter but there might not even be a next chapter if I don't get some reviews. hint hint. Thanks! -Petra Delling
