Okay, here's chapter 5! I hope you all like it! Thank you for your WONDERFUL WONDERFUL reviews! You are all the greatest ever!





Videl walked slowly over to the little boy coloring at his desk. The children were playing duck, duck, goose; ring around the rosie; and other such games, but Ms. Carpenter had given this little boy, Goten Son paper and crayons, asking him to color instead of play with the rest of the children. Videl had watched as he nodded as if he was expecting it and smiled largely when handed the supplies. Videl had been instructed to keep Goten company. Ms. Carpenter had not said why Goten was not allowed to play, Videl assumed that Goten had a physical problem. Whatever it was, she sure could not see anything wrong. Goten looked like a healthy little boy, though not a normal little boy. Cuteness seeped from him. He had large black hair and innocent black eyes. He was wearing a simple red gi, instead of the slightly formal wear that all of the other students were wearing.

"Hi Goten." Videl said as she sat down in the seat next to him.

Goten looked up at her with his big, onyx eyes, not at all surprised by her presence, "Hi. You're Miss Videl, right?"

"That's right. Ms. Carpenter sent me over here to keep you company," Videl looked at the half-completed form in front of the boy, "do you like drawing?"

Goten let out a beautiful smile, "I love it!" he exclaimed before going back to his work of art, which looked like it was turning into a person.

Videl struggled for something else to say, "Do you like going to school?"

Goten looked up from his work for a minute, thoughtfully, "I don't know. This is my first day."

"Didn't you come to school last year? How did you like it then?"

"Nope. This is my first year of school ever. Gohan homescueled me."

"Who's Gohan?"

Goten let out his biggest smile yet and picked up his paper, pointing to it proudly. There was a blurred but obviously smiling person drawn in a child's hand, holding what looked like a giant fish. Goten looked at it once more, smiled even wider and spoke, "He's my brother."

Gohan shifted his weight slightly from its place leaning against the tree trunk. He had been out here for the last half-hour, waiting for Goten to get out of school. This was Goten's first day and he certainly did not want to be late, plus, he missed the little tyke. A slight sound caught Gohan's attention. He jerked his head up and stared at the door. A small girl walked out. She was followed by another child, and then another. Changing his frown to a smile, Gohan stepped out of the tree's shadow.



The clock chimed two-o-clock.

"Alright class! You may go!" The children hurridly grabbed their things and departed, Ms. Carpenter stopped one on the way out; Goten.

"Goten?"

"Yes ma'am?"

"Could you do me a favor?"

Videl paused on her way out to see what her mentor was up to.

"I dropped my pencil under my desk could you get it for me?"

Videl frowned. She had no idea what the teacher was up to. The desk was large and heavy with only a small margin between it and the floor. It would be hard to get something that slid far underneath it out. How could Goten help her?

Goten nodded and took the side of the desk with one had, tilting it so that he could reach under and used the other hand to pick up the pencil. Goten then lowered the desk back down carefully and handed the pencil to Ms. Carpenter.

"Goodbye Ms. Carpenter. Goodbye Miss Videl." With that, he was gone.

Goten stepped shyly out of the shadowed halls into the sunlight, his dark eyes searching through the crowds of students that stood outside. Then, he saw him. Goten dashed down the stairs in the front of the school and straight into his brother's arms.

Gohan picked up his brother and twirled him around over his head as he giggled. After a couple spins, Gohan plopped his brother onto his shoulders and they walked off through the city, reunited once again.
