AN: Ok this is a Lime chapter, I thought it would be best to do this storyline first. you'll see why. Well yeah, the guy at the WMAT's name is Frankie. Thanks to Mrs. Videl Son and her compatriots for the info on that one. Remember, I love reviews so if you want to review every chapter or maybe twice every chapter. sorry. Oh, and sorry that this is late but I've actually been doing homework for a change! SO ON WITH THE STORY

Chapter 10 Lime's Adventure

Lime walked through the crowded halls looking for the raven-haired girl. She looked and looked but no one she saw even slightly resembled Videl, or Sharpner, or Erasa. Suddenly there was a loud buzzing noise and all the students filed into classrooms, leaving Lime standing in the hall, alone and confused. She continued to walk down the hall looking into the classrooms, still trying to locate Videl. She was so engrossed in her search that she didn't notice the tall, strict-looking woman walking down the hall, and Lime ran straight into her. Lime was knocked to the ground by the impact.

"Sorry," she muttered, getting to her feet. The woman stared at her murderously through her thick glasses.

"What are you doing out of class young lady?" She snipped

"Oh. Well. I don't go to school."

"What? Come with me, young lady. Children your age are required to go to school, so you will go to school here." The woman led the girl, by the shoulder, to a large glass office on the ground floor of the school. She opened the top drawer of the desk and pulled out some papers. After twenty minutes of answering questions about her life and schooling, Lime was officially enrolled in Orange Star High School. The woman pushed her glasses back up her pointed nose and typed the girl's stats into the computer. A minute later a sheet was being printed, Lime's schedule. She took it out of the printer and handed it to the girl.

"There you are Miss Lime. The fourth class is about to begin so go to the library and get your books. Your locker assignment is on the top of the sheet and if you can't find a class just ask one of the students. Now, hurry up, or you'll be late." The woman snipped.

Lime quickly bowed out of the office and walked down the hall to the library. *How did I get myself trapped into doing this? I just came here to find Videl and all Gohan's friends to make sure they got the information about this project back. Since we don't know if Gohan's coming back at all. No I can't think that way, he will come back, he's Gohan, he always finds a way to come through in the end. * Lime walked into the library and the librarian gave her the appropriate books. She then followed the numbers on the lockers until she found the one that had been assigned to her. *I wonder what's school going to be like? I mean I've never really been to school before. We had classes kinda, my mom used to teach all the village children reading and writing and math, and all sorts of interesting stuff, but after she died. I didn't have a lot to time to study. I hope everyone doesn't think I'm stupid. Wait why am I even doing this at all? I'm just here to find Videl then I'll just skip out. Who cares if I go to school anyways? Well maybe Chichi, she'll love that I'm in school with Gohan now. I guess we'll see though, if things are as hard as Gohan says they can be I definitely won't stay here. I don't need all this education junk to run my grandfather's store but maybe it'll be fun to hang out with Gohan when he gets back.

"Hey are you lost?" Lime turned to face a cheery blonde girl who was smiling at her like an idiot. Lime's eyes widened in amazement.

"Erasa?" The blonde looked at her in confusion, "I'm Lime, remember? Gohan's friend?" Erasa's smiled disappeared at the memory of Lime's closeness with Gohan.

"Oh yeah, I remember now. What are you doing here?"

"Actually Gohan sent me to find you and Videl, and I kinda got trapped into enrolling by this mean old lady." Erasa laughed at her.

"I bet you haven't ever been to school before, considering where you live and all." A look of hurt and anger flashed across Lime's face, but she quickly shook it off.

"Do you happen to know where Videl is? I have to give her a message."

"Umm. what class are you supposed to have?" Lime handed her the schedule that the woman had given her. Erasa looked it over for a moment before speaking again. "You have class with us next, so just follow me and you can talk to Videl. Actually we are going to present our project, the one we visited you to do. Where is Gohan anyway?" Lime was closely following the girl down the crowded halls, trying not to lose her.

"Umm. A friend of his got hurt and he's gone to see him, I don't know when he'll be back. That's why I'm here." The two girls entered the room and Erasa went to her seat and sat down, slightly annoyed by Lime's presence. Lime went to the teacher's desk to inform him that she was going to be in the class. He checked the information and told her to sit down somewhere and just watch the presentations that would be presented during class. Lime smiled and went up to sit next to Erasa, in Gohan's normal seat.

"So where is Videl?" She started again, annoying Erasa even more. *Who does this girl think she is? First she moves in with Gohan, and now she's trying to find Videl, probably to try to become her best friend. Well we'll see about that! She may have stolen MY Gohan, but I won't let her steal my best friend! *

"She'll be here any minute. By the way Lime how long do you plan on staying?"

"Until the end of this class probably. I have to go and tell Chichi about what's going on, I just hope Goten's there to protect me! Especially when I tell her that Gohan's gonna be missing school for a while!"

"Where did Gohan go off to this time?" A familiar voice broke in. Lime looked up to find a very irritated Videl glaring at her.

"Oh, hi Videl. Gohan sent me to tell you that he's not going to be here, something. came up. A friend of his needed some help, hopefully he'll be back in a few days."

"Hopefully?" Videl questioned.

"Umm. anyway, he gave me this envelope and said it was your project info and that you might need it. I can't wait to see you do this project though. It'll be interesting to see someone else's view of the events surrounding the destruction of the shelter."

"Yeah, hey why do you help us? I mean you can explain it better than we can, you were actually there!"

"Sorry, but that wouldn't be fair. Gohan told me not to let you bully me into doing anything. Besides it's your perspective of it, not mine." Videl glared at her again. Lime rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair, "Besides, I'm leaving the first chance I get. There are some things I have to get done, including finding Goten. I think he may be at the Capsule Corps, but I'm not gonna go in. So I'll have to wait outside for some sign of Goten and then grab him."

"Why do you need to find him?" Sharpner asked curiously.

"Like I'm gonna tell Chichi that Gohan might not come back without protection."

"What do you mean by that?" Videl almost screamed.

"Um. Nothing it's just that."

"Miss Satan, is your group ready for their presentation?" Videl turned to Mr. Sumisu and nodded. She stood up and stalked down to the front of the class. Erasa and Sharpner followed, although a little more bored than Videl.

"OK everyone, this project is about Cell. Actually this presentation is about a shelter that was built to well shelter the people when Cell destroyed everyone. But then someone decided to blow it up and." Videl was interrupted by the alarm on her watch. There was a fire downtown, people were trapped and they needed all the help they could get. Videl looked amused at this and turned to the teacher. "I'm so sorry, Sharpner and Erasa will have to finish this on their own. Bye." Videl grinned and raced out the door before the teacher could protest. Erasa and Sharpner looked at each other, scared and horrified at the absence of all those in their group who actually possessed intelligence (AN: Sorry I couldn't resist doing that!).

Lime looked curiously out the door that Videl had just gone through. *Does she have powers like Gohan does? I mean if she's as weak as her father then why does she go out to save the day? I don't get it, either she's super strong and Gohan doesn't want her to know that they're at the same level, or she's not that strong and Gohan doesn't want her to know that there are people like him in the world. *

"I wonder if the Great Saiyaman will show up?" A nerdy looking boy in front of Lime said quietly.

"Saiyaman? Who's he?" The boy squinted at her through his glasses.

"He's this obnoxious superhero who tries to fight crime with Videl. He can fly and catch bullets in his bare hands and everything." His voice was rather nasally in sounding and his words were full of confidence and smugness, making Lime's response even more surprising.

"Saiyan-man! Oh wow, he has no creativity whatsoever!" She was trying her hardest not to laugh and disturb the already nervous Erasa and Sharpner. "I mean, give me a break. I can't wait." Lime was laughing silently at this point. The boy was just staring at her in shock, he had thought that he was the school's expert on the Great Saiyaman, but this girl appeared to actually KNOW him.

"Uhh.uhh. who are you? And how do you know Saiyaman?" The boy asked still in shock.

"Oh," Lime stopped laughing, embarrassed at her lack of manners, "My name is Lime, I'm new here today."

"Oh, well I'm Frankie, the schools' resident expert on all things strange. Like did you know that aliens actually landed in East City about fourteen years ago? (AN: Is that right? I'm really bad at time in the DBZ world, I mean three years in one episode and five minutes in nine episodes, they have a horrible sense of time in that show, it's annoying.)" Lime nodded.

"Did you know that one of them is still here? And did you know that there are lots of people on this planet who were either born on, or have gone to other inhabitable worlds?" Lime smirked, and Frankie just gaped at her. *May be she can help me find them, or at least find out their weaknesses. I have got to find these people! *

"Wow, do you know them? I mean how do people fly, and make things explode and stuff? Do you know those guys who were at the Cell Games?" Lime was taken aback by his questions and took a minute to contemplate them before answering.

"Well, I can ask if they'll meet with you. But they aren't very. personable. It's not my business to expose them if they don't want to be exposed, so I'll have to ask after school today, and after I go to Capsule Corps to find Goten. So yeah, I know a few of the guys at the Cell Games, one is dead though and another came from the future, and he returned there, but the others I'll talk to." The boy's mouth was almost to the floor now. *I actually am gonna see these guys AMAZING! * Lime giggled and turned back to listen to the presentation that was still going on. Videl returned soon after and rescued Erasa and Sharpner from their torture. The rest of the class proceeded quickly, with only one other group getting their presentation done. Lime, who had been planning to leave after that class was over, decided to stay to get to know Videl and her friends better. School was rather boring though and she could see why many students hated it, they seemed too put the emphasis more on repetitive work than on grasping concepts.

"I have got to get going, Chichi's probably worried sick about me, I promised to find Gohan for her. and since I haven't, I can't go back without at least having Goten, so I have to find him. Hopefully he's at Capsule Corps again, cause if I get back and he's not there to protect me, well. Chichi will probably kill me."

"Why is it that Chichi doesn't know where Gohan is anyways?" Videl asked suspiciously.

"Well he left last night to meet with some people and never came back, so I came to find out why and. I was told what happened and so I have to tell Chichi."

"How long will he be gone for anyway?"

"Well. I don't know exactly. Maybe a few days, maybe more." She said, getting more depressed and worried with every word she spoke. "I have to go, FLYING NIMBUS!!"

"What's a flying Nimbus?" Asked Videl, highly annoyed at the girl's scream into the air. "What exactly did you." Videl stopped as she saw the golden cloud descend and Lime hop onto it like it was perfectly normal.

"This is Nimbus, he gave me a ride here." Videl's mouth had crashed to the ground in shock.

"What. where. how." Lime giggled at Videl's inability to form a sentence, "Where did you get that thing?"

"Oh, it's Gohan's, but since he's not here. wait. AW MAN! I bet you weren't supposed to know about this, Gohan's gonna kill me when he finds out!"

"THIS IS GOHAN'S!!!" Videl screamed.

"How do you think he gets to school so fast, does he fly or something? This is a Nimbus Cloud that belonged to Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit."

"He knows the great Master Roshi!!!"

"Actually, I think his dad was the one that knew him really. I can't remember exactly, but he said his dad gave it to him." Videl's mind was in shock. *A flying cloud?? I don't believe what I'm seeing. I guess a cloud is better than flying but, how did his dad know Master Roshi? *

"I'm confused." Videl's response only made Lime laugh.

"Don't mention this to Gohan please!! I don't think I could survive him getting mad at me." Lime giggled at this. "I have to go now for real, I'll see you tomorrow Videl. If I decide to come back. School's rather stupid if you ask me, but then again I don't want to spend the day with Chichi alone. Bye Videl!" Lime took off toward CC on the cloud, Videl staring after her disbelievingly.

In the shadows a figure watched them intently. *So she's going to Capsule Corps. I'll have to follow her; I need to find out all I can about Goku's little group of friends. With Gohan gone, my plan can take effect soon. They won't know what hit them. They'll be sorry Goku ever destroyed my family. I will rule them all in my grandfather's place. They shall pay *
