Part 4: School Daze
Chapter 24: Another New Student?
I do not own Dragonball Z.
============================================================================
Monday passed in relative peace for Gohan and Videl and now the bell just rang to signal the end of school for Tuesday. As the two demi-Saiya-jins walked down the hallway they saw their first period teacher, Ms. Bird, leaving the teacher's lounge. They had spent some time since their little talk about her possible condition debating on whether or not to ask her about it since it could be awkward if Ms. Bird doesn't know yet, or if it is something else. But in the end they had decided to talk to her about it.
"Excuse us, Ms. Bird. But can Videl and I talk to you?" Asked Gohan.
The woman looked at her watch and sighed. "Can it wait till tomorrow? I'd like to get home."
"Wellit can wait."
"It'll only take a few minutes." Said Videl.
"Fine." Replied Ms. Bird as she led them back into the teacher's lounge. "Now what is it you wanted to talk about?"
As they took a seat at a table Videl decided to get right to the point. "We were wondering if congratulations is in order."
"I uh," Gohan and Videl couldn't help but think she looks a little nervous.
"To put it bluntly, are you pregnant?
"Ihow? I didn't know till two days ago. Why if Ben hadn't insisted on taking me to the doctor I How did you know?"
"Well ummwe are the two smartest kids in your class." Remarked Videl.
"And my mom was pregnant with my brother when I was eleven, so I know some of the signs." Added Gohan. Ms. Bird chuckled.
"I guess I have been a little moody lately."
"Yea, you could say that." Replied Videl. "Now, who's Ben?" She may not have been one for gossip but she had to know who this mystery person is.
"Oh, he's my husband." Gohan and Videl's eyes widened slightly. "Why do you look so surprised?"
"You've never mentioned him before. And well, no offence but you don't seem like the type to get married." Replied Videl.
Ms. Bird smiled, "Well if I hadn't met Ben-chan then I probably wouldn't be married." The three of the laughed a little at this.
"So if you're not Ms. Bird then who are you?" Asked Gohan.
"Bird is my maiden name. My husband likes to keep a low profile so he doesn't end up being mobbed by reporters."
Videl smiled at this, "I can understand that. Being famous sucks."
"Yea, why don't you call me Angie instead of Ms. Bird, just don't do it when we're in class."
"Ok Angie."
The woman chuckled lightly, "While we're on the subject, when are you two getting married?" Gohan and Videl's faces paled slightly as their jaws slackened.
"Not you too" Muttered the teens.
"I take it you get that a lot from you families?"
"You could say that." Replied Gohan while scratching the back of his neck. "Alright, I won't ask you about it."
"Good. But how did you know that Gohan and I are a couple?" Replied Videl.
"Call it women's intuition." Said Angie while smirking at the teens.
"Your women's intuition wouldn't by chance be able to tell us if there's a pop quiz coming up anytime soon would it?"
"Now Gohan, you're smart enough to know that if I told you there'd be one on Thursday then it wouldn't be a pop quiz."
"Darn. Oh well. It's not like really have to worry about them anyway."
"Gohan-chan."
"Yes Vidy?"
"She just said that there's one on Thursday."
"You did?" He asked Angie while scratching his head. The woman stared in disbelief and nodded her head.
"Gohansometimes you are so clueless." Muttered Videl.
"Ahhanother beautiful morning to another glorious school day." Sighed Sharpner as he sank into his seat next to Erasa. His three friends stared at him while wondering if he's lost his mind.
Erasa put her hand to his forehead and asked, "Are you feeling alright Sharpie?"
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Because you're actually glad to be here. And not even Gohan likes being here." Replied Erasa.
"So what? After today that means there's only one more day and then I can put the moves on Bulma." Smirked Sharpner.
"You must have a death wish." Muttered Gohan, Videl chuckled.
"Or at least a desire for severe personal injury."
Sharpner raised an eyebrow at them. "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing. It's just that we've heard that her husband can get ratherviolent when men hit on her." Replied Videl while she and Gohan remembered the incident of the unlucky mailman who had said Bulma looked nice. Poor guy had been in the hospital for a week.
A light nock on the door interrupted the monotone voice of the fourth hour history teacher. Several sighs of relief could be heard from the students. They had learned long ago that silence was better then this guys lectures, and an interruption of any type was doubly welcome.
"Yes?" Asked the man, his voice just a louder version of the tone he had been lecturing in. The door opened and in walked a girl with dark red, almost brown, hair and brilliant green eyes.
"Hello, my name's Lime and I'm supposed to be in this class. Sorry I'm late."
"Alright." Gohan had already come to dread this class on his first day after only a few minutes of this man's unchanging tone. "Here's a permission slip for the trip this weekend. Now find a seat please."
"Yes sir." Replied Lime as she bowed politely before.
"Excuse me, there's a seat up here!" Called Erasa while waving. Lime walked up the stairs and took the empty seat next to Sharpner that Erasa had pointed at.
"Well if I'm not the luckiest guy on Earth." Said Sharpner while smiling at Lime. "Now I have a pretty girl on either side of me." Erasa giggled while Lime's cheeks took on a slightly pinkish hue.
"Now Sharpner, you won't try anything will you? After all, you're smart and you know that I'm the only one for you. Right Sharpie-chan?" Said Erasa while smiling at Sharper. The look in the blonde's eyes sent a chill down Sharpner's spine.
"Heheright Erasa. You're the only one for me." Replied Sharpner, his voice quavering with nervousness.
In case you were wondering as to why Gohan and Lime don't know each other, it's because they've never met. Gohan never went to her village before the Cell Games.
I hope you enjoyed it and please review.
