A/N – Well, we have a winner. About an hour after I posted was the first guess, and the winner is…JessIchi!!!! The prize, I have decided, is a walk-on role (or should we call that a write-on role? I'm not sure.), and will be a character in an up-and-coming chapter! Her (character) name will be Jess. For all of you who didn't guess, the two consequences were, (1) everybody will learn about well…everything, and (2) Gohan will kill Dende (I'm not sure if I should make that figuratively, or literally). Anyway, enough with the babbling, and on with the show!!!
Gohan walked into the gym, glad that the earlier silence had ceased. Talking and gossiping cheerfully, the class made its way towards the bleachers. Whoever was presenting hadn't arrived yet, but a secretary had arrived, and was showing them to their seats. Talking adamantly, all the students seemed to inconspicuously try and slide closer to Gohan. Only Sharpener stayed put, but the other students thought that maybe Gohan might not be such a 'nerd boy' as they thought. And of course, Erasa sat behind Gohan, conveniently pinching something at one time or another.
The talking was fairly loud, but to Gohan, the whispers were even louder. With his Saiyain, no 'super' Saiyain, hearing, Gohan picked up all the little chitchat that was supposed to go unnoticed by anyone except the other end of the conversation. (Is it me, or was that sentence reeeally confusing???)
Then, piping up, the plumb little secretary called all of the students to attention.
'Hello, and welcome to Orange Star High's first annual Career Day! I was busy, so I will have to give you this little talk, even though you have already been to one of your presenters. As I have been told, you have been to Mrs. Briefs station." She had hearts in her eyes now, "She was one of our more… fashionable (hearts again) presenters today, and I will say she is one of the best." The kids looked around excitedly and broke out in chatter once more. Bulma Briefs is the richest and smartest woman in the world – who could be better than that? But Videl knew it, and all she wanted to do was roll her eyes. Gohan caught her look, and took it that 'the ham' was about to show.
Luckily for him, she continued with her speech, and saved both of them from embarrassment – Videl from her father, and Gohan, because, as everyone knows, he defeated Cell, plus Hercule was embarrassing all together. "Here is the next part of your 'celebrity' (hearts) tour (more whispers). I would like to present…the great baseball player…(Gohan groaned inwardly) Yamcha!!! (does he have a last name?)"
Yamcha walked out into view, waving his arms and smiling at the outstanding ovation. But his smile was short lived, for he was recognized by Trunks. Tackled to the ground by the still-hyperactive child, he let out an extremely loud sigh, and tried to pull the child off of him. Unfortunately, seeing as how Trunks was a saiyain - a super saiyain at that – and Yamcha was only human, he was unsuccessful. Gohan sighed and, when it got to rough, walked down to peel the boy off of Yamcha.
"Thanks Gohan! I owe you big, twice now, huh?" He was referring to the Cell games, in an unspoken statement.
"I guess." Then Gohan flashed him a smirk that was all too much like Vegeta's. *Maybe Goku letting Gohan train with Vegeta half of the time wasn't such a good idea…* the thought made him shudder.
During the whole entire time they where talking, Gohan held trunks at an arms length, while he calmed down. Slowly the movements of his limbs got slower and slower until he was subdued. Finally, getting annoyed at just hanging there, trunks began to try and get the older boy's attention. First, he tapped him on the shoulder, but Gohan didn't notice, for he was having a hushed conversation with Yamcha; oblivious to Trunks' efforts and his classmates stares. Finally, in a desperate attempt to get his attention, Trunks powered up (not into super saiyain) and managed to swing his legs up and kick Gohan in the neck.
Several students screamed, seeing what the little boy was about to do. But Son Gohan, the former nerd, was completely unfazed. Turning on Trunks and releasing his iron-hold on the boy's shirt, he stated, "Trunks, what was that for!?!"
"You wouldn't let go of me – just kept talking to the weak little human!" Yamcha looked hurt and sighed. Trunks felt sort of bad, so he said, in retaliation, "Sorry…I guess, but when you think about it, you really can't compete with us –you know, being super and all!" Trunks tried to give him his imitation of the Son grin, but failed. Now Yamcha couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't worry, kid, I already know that. Besides, I gave up fighting a while ago – I mean, when all your friends are Saiyains, you don't really have a chance! Why don't you to go back and let me give my speech, okay? I'll talk to you later – maybe I can going you at lunch?"
"Maybe." With that, Gohan walked back to the stadium, only now receiving the stares of his fellow piers. And after sitting next to Videl, who was looking at him like there was no tomorrow, she screamed out.
"YOU KNOW BULMA BRIEFS AND YAMCHA!?!" Both Trunks and Gohan cringed at the words; there ears now nearly bleeding. *God – does she want me to go deaf? My poor Saiyain ears*
"What did you say Gohan?"
Gohan swore he hadn't said those words out loud. He turned to Trunks, who shrugged. Obviously the boy hadn't hears anything. "Videl, I didn't say anything." *She's nuts, she thinks I'm saying things. Maybe her father hit her one two many times trying to train her…*
Videl growled under her breath. "My father did nothing to me, I'm not crazy!" she said, barely a whisper. Gohan was really nervous now. *Holy shit! What the hell is happening here! Holy shit!*
"What do ya mean 'holy shit!'!" Pulling at his collar, he turned to Trunks. Trunks stared wide-eyed at Videl. She was having a conversation with herself! Or maybe she was…
Trunks burst out laughing, rolling on the floor, and practically crying his eyes out. Gohan, with all of his sensitive hearing, could only manage to hear, "You…hear…bonding!" After hearing that last remark, Gohan paled. And he had to spend the day in the same school as Vegeta and Trunks! What was he going to do!?!
Just then. As if to worsen his situation, Vegeta burst through the doors. He sneered at the site of Yamcha, who was in the middle of his speech. Yamcha let out a small 'eep' before trying to calmly continue. Vegeta, who ignored Yamcha's efforts, searched out Gohan and sat down next to him. In a hushed tone, Gohan let Vegeta know his surprise.
"Vegeta, what are you doing here!"
"Well, Kakorrot's Brat #1, the woman got mad when I almost hit a kid, so she sent me here with you." He smirked at the last remark. Trunks looked ecstatic - now he had a partner in crime! All he had to do was tell his new-partner the latest information. Leaning over, he whispered into his father's ear the event that had happened. Vegeta's smirk grew even wider as he looked Form Gohan, to Videl, and back to Gohan. *This was the one thing that the Onna has done right.*
A/N – Hey everybody! It was kind of short, but the next one will be longer. I have two big important things to tell you, that have happened during the process of writing this chapter –1.) 1 phone line + a couple missed important calls + a fight = 1 angry set of parents and cut-down of internet time (that's the bad news)
2.) I now announce my most recent purchase – my own Mirai Trunks! He will now be featured in the on-coming authors notes! Yay for me!
