A light breeze blew through the open windows of Orange Star High. A few leaves blew in onto the tiled floor, but mainly it brought a refreshing sense some of the students on the hot summer day. Some. For most were too busy milling about chatting on the latest gossip – Son Gohan.
The boy who was the newly discovered son of Son Goku, friend of Bulma Briefs, her husband, Yamcha the Bandit (and baseball player), and… and… who else knew!?! Rumors spread like wildfires at OSH, but the news of Son Gohan went faster than the speed of light.
Gohan was the new boy wonder. He was actually a spy for the government. He was a prince from a foreign country taking a 'break' from palace duties. He was a talk show host trying to get the 'inside scoop' on teen life. He was an actor doing a TV. reality show. He was whatever came out of someone else's mouth. By lunch time, he was the biggest piece of news that hit since OSH since Joann and Kyle broke up after going steady for three years. That was big.
This was bigger. MUCH bigger. There were many reactions to this.
Some kids scoffed. 'Next thing you'll be telling us he's Sayiaman!'
Other kids were shocked. 'Really? …wow! …serious? Are you sure? He blew up the gym wall? Maybe we shouldn't have called him nerd boy for so long… Wow!'
There were the gossipers 'Sure, he blew up the wall… but he also evaded the police for ten years… that's what I bet, a child criminal or something. I'm sure of it.'
Then there were those that weren't so surprised. 'See, I told you! He was weird from the beginning! He's an alien… isn't it obvious? He's come to take over the world! Run for your lives!' But all they got was strange looks, and were stuffed in their lockers by jocks - to get them to shut up.
Other than that, lunch was pretty normal.
~*~*~*~*~
Bulma sighed as she handed the check to the principal. This happened WAY to often. She should just open a savings account for Vegeta entitled 'Money for when Vegeta blows things up'! But then again, she had long gotten used to it. Gohan was not taking it well, either. He was already a tad to pale… he had just fainted?
She strolled over to Goku and Videl, who were desperately trying to revive the poor boy.
"What's up Goku? Gohan wouldn't just faint for anything. What's wrong now?" Realizing her statement was correct the rest of the gang gathered closely around the fallen boy, Vegeta in the back, muttering about weakling half-breeds.
"I'll tell you once Gohan is back on his feet."
Vegeta snorted with impatience. Pushing through a group of kids that had gathered around the fighters, he turned to Goku.
"Lift the brat up Kakarrot!" He commanded. Goku did as he said, and before anyone could do anything, he punched Gohan in the stomach. Gohan's eyes snapped opened immediately, and he exhaled tightly. He was thrown back a little, but in Goku's strong grip he didn't move much. Instead, when Goku let go, he fell on his knees and took a few very deep breaths.
Slowly he stood up, much to the amazement of his classmates. There was a collective gasp as he brought his head up and smiled. "Gawd Vegeta. That kinda hurt, a little easier next willya?" Many kids began backing off, the rest were dispersed as Vegeta emitted a low growl and gave a look that read 'Get lost – now.'
Gohan's former good nature changed dramatically as he remembered why Vegeta had to give him the rude awakening. He quickly faced his father.
"When will they get here?" He asked, dead serious.
"I really don't know, son, but I think we will be okay. We have you, Vegeta, and me – not to mention Trunks and Goten. They can handle the Ginyu Force no problem, maybe even Freiza and Kold."
"Kakarrot – what in the hell are you babbling about now?"
"Oh yeah, Vegeta! Well, King Kai just telepathically informed me that Cell and all the other guys – The Kold family and the Ginyu Force – escaped form hell and now are making there way to earth. They should be here pretty soon, I guess."
"Oh! Well that's wonderful, Kakarrot! What are we going to do, invite them for tea!?!? Sometimes your stupidity amaz-"
CLANG!!!!
Vegeta's held his head, waiting for his head to stop vibrating. From the corner of his eye, he saw the banshee wielding her weapon of doom. That thing was more powerful than any sword, and in her hands, it sent a shudder down his spine. After hearing a coo from his dearly beloved wife *coughsaracasmcoughcough* he knew that the banshee had truly arrived.
He opened his eyes, and examined the area. From the start, their was Kakarrots first brat, looking quite serious, then their was the brats mate, who was extremely confused, then their was the ever-oblivious Kakarrot, their was his mate and the banshee talking about shopping and admiring the banshee's Frying Pan… *damn, now I have TWO things to worry about* …and then my brat and Kakarrots youngest brat are… where the hell are they? *Just peachy. THREE things. They'll be spending a week with me in the GR if they do anything!*
Little did he know, Gohan, who had remembered his fathers words about Trunks and Goten taking the Ginyu Force, also noticed the boys mysterious absence, and was thinking the exact same thing. *If they do anything, ANYTHING, they will spend a week in the GR with me AND Vegeta!*
Poor Goten and Trunks, for they were formulating a plan right now.
~*~*~*~*~
Krillen, 18, Master Roshi, and Marron were outside, either sparring, playing with dolls, looking at… magazines. All of a sudden, three of the heads snapped up, gazing wide-eyed at the sky.
As if their voices would make all hell break loose, Krillen whispered to his wife, "Dear, lets go find Goku and the others! Maybe they'll now something about this!"
"Its Cell! When I get my hands on him…" Just then, Marron came up and tugged on her pant leg. "Mommy – what's a cell?" 18 looked at her daughter, that only the trained eye could see was full of love.
"Krillen, you're right, lets go!" 18 scooped up Marron, and Krillen grabbed Master Roshi [not like that!] and they flew off in the direction of their friends ki's.
~*~*~*~*~
They landed in a short time, and looking around, they easily spotted their friends. All they had to do was follow the cloud of smoke billowing into the sky from giant hole in the wall. They scene they came upon would be considered comical to the untrained eye.
Gohan, Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma had dead-serious expressions, though Bulma was throwing some dagger-looks at Vegeta every once in a while. Videl was sitting looking rather confused, while Chichi was bustling around her, talking about weddings and grandchildren. Then there was a dazed, yet semi-serious looking Yamcha leaning against a wall for support.
Krillen was the first to respond. Running over to Goku, who had just noticed them, he said – "Goku! We need to get out of here! We felt them! Cell, Frieza, Kold, and the Ginyu's! All of them! They're coming!"
Goku took a long sigh. "Yeah Krillen, we know." Then, without waiting for Krillen to respond, he turned to the others. "Well looks like they're here." Krillen blinked, astonished, while the Z fighters started 'loosening up' for the upcoming fight. But what they didn't expect was the voice that came from around the 'doorway.'
"What? Aren't you going to let us in?" And it was none other than Freiza.
