Thank you all for your wonderful wonderful reviews! I loved reading them!
Hopefully I'll answer all of your questions in this chapter. This may not
be very long bc I'm kinda rushed right now. I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow
but wanted to send another chapter in. I'll send in what I get down and
won't 'trade quality for frequency'! please read the next little blurb, its
important..
IMPORTANT!!
Okay, I'm just gonna explain the whole Videl thing. Videl is a freshman in college and is getting her degree in teaching. She spends most of her day helping out Ms. Carpenter but comes at various times on different days bc of her classes. She doesn't crime fight in this fic bc I couldn't find a way to make that work.. She does, however, do martial arts but doesn't think that she's very good.
The charas may seem OOC from the tv shows but I'm just trying to entertain ya'll.. By the way, the 'Cherrie' I refer to below is Ms. Carpenter. Enjoy!
Cherrie watched the tall man leave her classroom with interest. He walked with confidence and ease yet his brother seemed so scared. Cherrie was interested in little Goten Son's story. He had apparently never been in a city let alone a school before, had only one living relative, and knew nothing of technology. How had this possibly come about? Cherrie turned and looked at Goten who was slouched in his chair looking around nervously. He almost looked like he was about to burst into tears. Cherrie was, in fact, very surprised that he hadn't. She had a lot of experience with children and if put into strange environments without knowing anyone they tended to freak, which meant tears. But this child seemed determined to hold himself together. She would indeed keep an extra eye one him; later- right now she had more children coming in.
Gohan landed silently on the dusty ground. He was here, in the middle of the desert standing in a large crater formed by, himself. This was where he went when he just needed to power-up and take out some anger. This was the third spot he'd had, the other craters had become too deep and Gohan had thought it best to move to another place.
Right now he was worried about Goten. Gohan pictured his brother waving goodbye as he left the room. His face worried above his little red gi. He knew that he'd made the right decision, however. Sending Goten to school would have been impossible were it not with the help of two green men. Knowing Dende (A/N: Dende is what they call God here) did have it's advantages. Without Dende, Goten's birth records would never have existed and without the birth records Goten would not have existed and certainly would not have been able to get into school. Dende had also helped Gohan get guardianship over Goten. Piccilo had supplied Goten with the bookbag needed so that Gohan did not have to dig up some cash and buy it. Goten's eating habits had been one of the biggest problems. Gohan told Goten to only eat what was placed before him and only ask for seconds. not thirds and certainly not anything beyond that. In return, Gohan fed him extra in the mornings and after school.
The whole thing was, however, stressing Gohan out. He was so used to being with Goten. Gohan felt sorry for the little Tyk who had been with Gohan since birth. Any other child would cry, but Gohan suspected that Goten would not. Saiyins did not cry. With that final thought, Gohan let out a scream and powered up to SSJ2 turning all of his conflicting feelings into power. He got lost in the power and reveled in it. After what seemed like only a few moments, he heard a barely perceptible crack. Gohan quickly powered down, lowering his ki to nothing. He glanced swiftly at his chest and to his dismay saw the small charm around his neck was cracked. Gohan sped off instantly, as fast as he could without going SSJ and headed to the lookout to get another and stronger ki-blocker before someone found him.
Vegeta's head flew up and he stopped eating his mid-morning meal as the presence of a powerful and familiar ki flashed out from somewhere to the east. Locking onto the ki just before it disappeared, Vegeta left his food and was away instantly. Leaving a startled Bulma, wondering what in the world had prompted her husband to leave midmeal.
Vegeta powered up to SSJ as he jumped into the sky going as quickly as he could to the spot where the large ki had been. He arrived, but too late. All that remained of the Saiyin that had been there was a very large crater. Vegeta's eyes tore across the skies, looking for a retreating figure, but there was nothing. This had happened a few times over the years. Vegeta was not looking for Gohan because he missed him, but because he needed a good sparing partner. Vegeta had no idea what Gohan was up to, but suspected that, whatever it was, the Nameks were in on it also. His pride prevented him from asking the green beings about it, and if he did they probably would not answer truthfully.
Displaying a large frown, Vegeta blasted back to the house, annoyed that the brat had managed to escape him again. This was the first time that Bulma had been in the room when he blasted off, so he would have to explain it to her. Vegeta knew that Bulma thought Gohan was dead because she could never imagine the 'sweet little boy' that she had known deserting them. Vegeta had known. Vegeta knew from the look on Gohan's face at the funeral that he would leave. And he did not blame him.
That's it for now. Sorry this is on the short side and I didn't introduce Videl. I was planning on it, but after writing this I decided it would be better if I thought about how I wanted to approach her. So, you'll have to wait! Thanks again for all of you wonderful wonderful reviews! Please keep it up! It's really encouraging! Happy New Year! -Petra Delling
