Sorry it took a while to update. I was over my dad's.

Gohan landed softly on the ground with his head down. He wasn't in the mood to do anything at that point besides sit in the corner, curl into a ball and rock back and forth mumbling useless stuff. Goten welcomed Gohan back home by standing in front of the door and welcoming him with a smile. Gohan didn't see and he didn't care. He was not in the mood.
" Gohan you're home," Goten cried cheerfully opening his arms hoping for a hug. " I've missed you!"
Gohan walked by Goten without a word. Goten still stood there with his arms spread open hoping for at least a small hug. Not getting the hug he wanted, Goten put his arms down and followed his brother to their room. Before Goten could reach his room, Gohan slammed the door in front of his face.
" Mom! Gohan's being mean to me!"
Chi-Chi stopped doing the dishes at the call of her son. Goku was too busy stuffing his face to bother with the task and only thought that Gohan accidentally shut the door in Goten's face. Sometimes Gohan would do it as a joke.
Chi-Chi tried opening the door but it was locked.
" Gohan," she cried. " What did I say about locking the door? Open this door right now or you won't get any dinner tonight!"
" Just leave me alone," Gohan shouted back.
" I know you are not yelling at me mister!"
" I said leave me the hell alone!"
" Gohan open this door," Chi-Chi struggling with the handle. " Stop talking to Syrus and open this door!"
" I'm not talking to Syrus," Gohan shouted. " I'm talking to you! Now leave me alone!"
Chi-Chi stood there and stormed her way to Goku. She snatched the sandwich away from Goku. Goku blinked a couple of times realizing that the sandwich in his hands was missing. He looked up at Chi-Chi and frowned.
" I was eating that," Goku whined.
" You're not getting it back until you talk to your son," Chi-Chi yelled.
" Which one?"
" Gohan!"
" Oh," Goku said standing up. " It will be no problem."
Goku smiled and left. He went to the bedroom and knocked on the door.
" Gohan," Goku said calmly. " Open the door please. I want to talk to you."
" It's open," Gohan mumbled quietly as he dried up some tears. He placed his head on his hands and sighed deeply. 'Why? Why did I have to like Videl? I should have known that some rich kid wouldn't like someone like me?'
Goku entered the bedroom and saw his son with his head in his arms. Goku had to frown as he saw his son in that state and couldn't help but feel some sort of pity on him. He wasn't so sure if it was Syrus or a bad day at school. Seeing Gohan's sac filled with books and papers, Goku guessed that it was probably related to school.
Waling in with a smile, Goku walked towards his depressed son. He gently placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder and gave a small smile.
" How was school," Goku asked as he pulled up a chair and sat next to his son.
" I don't like it," Gohan mumbled as he lifted up his head. " My teacher is named Miss Hino." Goku's eyes widened a bit but Gohan didn't seem fazed. " She doesn't look like the evil Hino but Syrus said that the crystal will glow if it is her. It didn't glow but she did give me odd looks here and there."
" So is that making upset?"
" No."
" Must be that bad since you didn't give Goten a hello," Goku said. " You can tell me Gohan. I'm sure I can help someway or another."
" It's kinda hard to say," Gohan said sitting up. " I was going to ask Videl if she wanted to go after school and get an ice cream or something."
" Like a date," Goku said smirking.
" Not anymore," Gohan said looking at his lap. " I over heard Videl and Erasea talking about me. Erasea asked if Videl liked me and Videl said-"
" Yes?"
" Videl said that I was only good for helping her pass and she said that I was weird and I had a face only a mother could love," Gohan said leaning back on his chair. " She saw me over hearing their conversation and I kinda ran off. I really liked her too."
" I know what will help your depression," Goku said standing up. " A good spar with Vegeta!"
" How's that going to help," Gohan asked.
" Easy. You can take all your anger out on Vegeta and if that don't work then you will be in too much pain to be thinking about Videl and what she said. I'm sure Vegeta won't mind. All you have to do is beat the tarter sauce out of Vegeta and you'll feel a lot better!"
" Tarter sauce?"
" SpongeBob."
" Okay," Gohan said getting up. " If it makes you feel better then it should make me feel better too. Vegeta always wanted to beat the tarter sauce out of me anyway, well beat Syrus up."
" How is Syrus anyway?"
" Still there," Gohan said looking at a mirror only to see his reflection. " A bit worried about my teacher. Can't blame him. I'm worried myself."
" Don't worry," Goku said heading out the room and Gohan following. " When Parents Night comes around, I'll check her out and asked some questions. Not one concerning Crystalline but about her background. Do you have homework before we train?"
" Yeah but I'm not doing it."
Goku stopped in his tracks and turned to Gohan.
" You're not," Goku asked in pure shock.
" It's on how I spent my summer vacation," Gohan said. " What am I supposed to say, I went to a planet the teacher blew up and now she's trying to kill me and I got a dinky necklace as a souvenir? That's an A for sure."
" Just don't tell your mother," Goku whispered to Gohan. " You know how she gets if you miss one homework assignment. Let me tell your mother where we are going before she kills me."
Gohan waited for his father at the door. Goten came out of the kitchen, passing Goku along the way, and saw his evil big brother at the door. He stopped as he saw his brother standing there looking at the ground. Goten noticed that his brother didn't seem too happy and wonder if it was the reason why he didn't say hi to him. Putting on the biggest smile, Goten walked up to his brother and hugged him around the waist.
" Whatever is making up upset, just remember that I love you," Goten said hugging his brother tightly. Gohan stared down at Goten and hugged him back.
" Thanks Goten," Gohan said. " Sorry I was mean to you earlier. I was just having a bad day."
" Then don't go to school."
" And be stuck here studying longer and harder with Mom?"
" Good point," Goten said letting go of Gohan. " Where are you and Daddy going?"
" Trying to get some stress out. I'm sure Dad won't mind if you come to train with Trunks. Ask him before Mom says no."
" Okay."
Goten ran off while Gohan leaned on the door.
/Still thinking about that girl? I told you that falling in love was useless./
" It might be," Gohan said. " But I still like her."
/After what she said? I wouldn't even lay another eye on her again./
" You don't know Videl like I so," Gohan said with a smirk. " She doesn't want to admit that she likes me. She only told Erasea that because she didn't want her to know."
/How do you know?/
" Just wait."
/And you're still upset why?/
" Hearing your friend say that about you," Gohan said folding his arms. " Wouldn't you be a bit mad about that? I'm sure your people talked behind your back all the time. Maybe even Milo and Moy."
/That they have./
" See? Were you upset?"
/No./
" Not even a little?"
/What part of no don't you understand?/
" The whole word."
/And you're supposed to be a smart?/
" Even us smart people need a dumb moment."
" Gohan's talking to himself out loud again," Goten said walking out of the kitchen.
" Talk about a dumb moment," Goku said following Goten. " Have to be home by dinner. Lets go you two before your mother changes her mind. I already called Vegeta and he said that he wanted you dead Gohan. C'mon, lets not leave him waiting."
" Peachy," Gohan said walking out the door and taking off into the sky. " Maybe you should fight Vegeta Syrus."
/He's too easy and too cocky. He depends on his power alone. Besides with the power that Old Kai gave you, you are more powerful than he is. Actually, you are powerful than anyone here but your power is decreasing by a little. If you feel tired, it's the crystal. It has chosen you as it's new master./
" I feel honored," Gohan mumbled. " What do I get in return?"
/Your power will be stored in the crystal but be warned. The crystal slowly takes away some of your power and energy at a time. You don't know it since you are always replacing that energy with food. But remember, the crystal needs energy to survive and if it doesn't have energy to fed on it takes a lot of energy from you and you will become weak./
" So I should stay energized?"
/Just make sure you have enough energy./
" When will it stop getting my energy?"
/When you are dead./
" I feel special."
Gohan was behind Goku and Goten talking to Syrus. He was getting further and further away so Goku and Goten had to slow down a few times. They weren't listening to him only because they didn't know what he was talking about besides energy and feeling special.
" Why is Gohan crazy," Goten asked his father.
" He gets it from your mother," Goku whispered to Goten. " Gohan just has to learn not to talk out loud in public or talk to Syrus a different way. Don't worry Goten, Gohan's fine."
" I hope so," Goten said looking back at Gohan.
They made it to CC and Vegeta was waiting for them. As soon as they landed, Vegeta grabbed Gohan and pulled him straight towards the Gravity Room. Goku and Goten quickly followed and Trunks met them along the way.
After about a couple of hours of training, everyone was beat and tired. They were bruised, cut, bleeding, and a few bumps on the head. The gravity was set to zero as the saiyans sat there with smiles on their faces.
" Feel better," Goku asked Gohan.
" Somewhat," Gohan answered smelling himself. " I'll feel a lot better when I get showered. Oh man do I stink."
" We all do Gohan. Won't your mother be mad at us?"
" We'll just get cleaned before dinner's ready," Gohan said looking at his watch. " I think we better go before Mom gets mad."
" Mommy hates it when we are late," Goten said.
" We know how you feel," Trunks said. " My mom won't be happy either. She hates it when both me and my dad smell real bad."
" Even I can't even stand my own smell," Vegeta said. " Well I'm getting clean so you losers can get out of my Gravity Room."
Goku, Gohan and Goten said their good-byes and went outside. When they opened the door they found Videl standing there about to knock on the door. She noticed how bad they all looked and how they all smelled.
" Hi Videl," Gohan said with a smile. " What brings you here?"
" I need to talk to you," she said covering up her nose. " Alone."
" Sure."
Gohan told his family to go ahead and that he'll catch up later. He and Videl walked for a while not really talking to each other. They made it to the park and sat on a bench. That's when Videl spoke.
" I'm sorry Gohan for what I said earlier," Videl said looking at her lap. " I really didn't mean what I said. I was only.I was just.I.I like you Gohan but I didn't want Erasea to know. I only said that so she would think I didn't like you."
" But you do," Gohan said looking at Videl. She only nodded. " Well, I like you too Videl and I understand why you did that."
" You do," Videl said finally looking up at Gohan.
" Yeah. I was going to ask you if you wanted to get some ice cream after school but I wouldn't have said it in front of Erasea. You didn't have to be so mean though. I mean, a face a mother could love? That's was harsh."
" I'm really sorry Gohan. I didn't mean to really hurt you but.wait. You were going to asked if I wanted some ice cream?"
Gohan blushed.
" Yeah I was," he said placing a hand behind his head. " You know, to kinda congratulate each other for making it to our senior year, finally."
/You like her you liar./
" It wasn't that," Gohan mumbled. Videl titled her head a bit.
/You make up the worst excuses ever./
" Like what?"
/The bathroom?/
" It was my only idea. Don't blame me for that."
/Why didn't you just sneak out or fly away? Why are you so afraid of your mother?/
" And you're not?"
/This is you, not me./
" Wanna bet?"
" Gohan," Videl said snapping her fingers in front of Gohan's face. Gohan realized that he was talking to himself out loud once again and blushed.
" Sorry," Gohan mumbled getting up. " I better be going. I don't want to worry my mom. Besides, I need a shower. I'll see you tomorrow at school?"
" Yeah," Videl said standing up also. " Maybe we can go out for some ice cream after school? Promise I won't bad mouth you again. I'll treat."
" I thought the guy was supposed to treat the girl?"
" Don't worry I'll treat this time."
" But it was my idea."
" Then you treat," Videl said folding her arms and smiling. " You do have money, right?"
" I'll just borrowing some from my mom," Gohan said with the classic Son grin. " See ya!"
" Bye," Videl cried as Gohan flew off.
Gohan was thrilled beyond relief. Videl and him finally got back together, so to say, and were once again friends. Gohan flew with a smile on his face that is, until his crystal glowed. Gohan stopped in mid air and held out his crystal. It stopped glowing and Gohan looked around. He found nothing but was still a bit uneasy. He continued to fly off but then the crystal glowed once again. Gohan stopped.
He looked around as the crystal glowed once again. A cold breeze hit his neck as he floated there looking around. The crystal still glowed and the sky got clouded rather fast. Another cold breeze hit his neck and Gohan began to panic. He was having this strange feeling and when he tried to communicate to Syrus, nothing.
" Syrus," Gohan said still looking around. " I know you can hear me. Where are you?"
He didn't get a reply.
" Syrus, I'm not joking here. For once reply. It could be.Hino."
Still nothing.
' Why isn't he replying?'
" Syrus!"
The crystal glowed brighter but all Gohan saw was darkness.
