Author Note: This is my final chapter guys. Sorry, but I don't think I will
make a sequel to this story because I have some new ideas buzzing around in
my head and I don't like having to write two stories at once. After this
one is finished though, I am shortly going to start a new story. I'll give
you a brief outline of what that one will be about.
Marron is the most popular girl in Orange Star High. All the girls want to be her and all the guys want to go out with her. She has a crush on Trunks, like many girls in the school, yet she has grown to hate his best friend Goten over the years.
She can't understand why everyone likes him. Their fathers are best friends, he is Trunks' best friend and he is pretty popular considering at high school. She's the only one who seems to hate him. It is pretty much the story of how they come to like (maybe even love) each other over several years. Only it is told with a few twists and turns along the way. It is told from Marron's point of view.
Make sure you all read and review that story when it comes out. Thanks again.
Before Gohan knew it, the final day of grade seven had arrived. It would be a half day, so that everyone could get the plane home and be there on time. It would start with the first two periods spent in class, then one after recess for packing and then the last one spent at assembly and finally they would be able to go home.
Gohan felt so strange going to class for the last time. They had an English lesson followed with and RE lesson.
"Typical." Greg shuddered. "Our last class for the year had to be RE, didn't it?"
"Lighten up, guys." Hiro beamed. "After this, we have a whole six weeks vacation to do whatever we want. We just have to get through today."
During English, Mrs Rosenburry started to cry.
"I-I can hardly believe how much you have all grown up over the past year." She sobbed. "You all look so much older now. And I-It's so-so sad to see two of our finest students depart from our f-fair school c-c-community."
"She blubbers away like this to every class on the last day, according to my brother." Drew whispered. "Sometimes I think she's worse than Miss Daniels."
After English, Gohan made his way to RE with utter depression. He knew it was his final RE class ever, yet even that pleasant thought still didn't cheer him up. And brother Sydenham was looking the worst Gohan had seen him all year.
"This may be your final day, children. Yet still, it is not your last day in Ellawin and certainly not your last day in the sight of God. So if you decide now is the perfect opportunity to muck up, I will personally unsure that you wish you had never been born."
"But brother Sydenham." Gohan called. "Today is my last day at Ellawin and my last day in the sight of God because when I go home, I can stop being a catholic."
Brother Sydenham scowled deeply, then smirked strangely. "Gohan Son obviously hasn't listened to a word I have been saying. Take heed boy, I'm going to keep an eye on you."
"You must have very good eyes than if you can keep an eye on me from way over here while I'm in Japan." Gohan said, without thinking.
The class howled with laughter and brother Sydenham's face burnt red. "Quiet!" He bellowed. "Now settle down so we can do some work!"
"You really got under his skin, Gohan!" Drew laughed as they stepped outside the classroom. "Good going!"
Gohan laughed. "I'm glad. Out of every weird teacher I've had here, he's been the worst."
They hurried to pack their bags over the next period so that they could be ready for their next flight. Hiro was planning to take the plane to his home town, and Gohan was going on the same flight, planning to fly home after that. He simply couldn't wait to get in the air again and he really would rather have company on the flight home.
After they had packed their bags, it was time for assembly. Gohan fidgeted all the way through Principal Redson's end of year speech, too excited about going home to listen. When it was finally over, he hurried back upstairs to his room and was the first to grab his bags and be ready to take the bus to the airport.
The bus trip home was much more leisurely then the bus trip there. Because he had been so quick, Gohan managed to grab seats for himself and his friends, who sat together in the bus and talked happily about going home. Videl was on the same bus, yet because of the large crowd, he didn't have time to talk to her.
When they got off at the airport, Gohan said one last goodbye to Greg, Drew, Daniel, Mitchell, Faye and Vicky, who were boarding the next plane for America.
"We'll miss you Gohan." Drew said as he hugged his friend goodbye. "You certainly made grade seven a lot more interesting then I had hopped for. Make sure to keep in contact with me if you don't come back next year. You have my number."
"You have all our numbers." Faye grinned as she hugged him too. "It was fun being your enemy."
Gohan laughed and waved as they disappeared onto the next flight home. He gazed around and saw that his plane would leave next, in half an hour from now. Videl, who was taking another plane to a different area of Japan, would have to wait another two hours to get home.
When the calls for the next flight bellowed over the loud speaker, Gohan darted through the crowd with Hiro hurrying behind him.
"Where are you off to, Gohan? The plane leaves in a few minutes!" Hiro called.
"I have to say goodbye to someone." Gohan called back.
He pushed his way through the crowd and found Videl, standing with her bags and waiting patiently to board the next plane.
"Videl!" Gohan cried as he hurried to her side.
"Gohan! You have to go, you plane-"
"My plane can wait." He replied, cutting her off. "I needed to see you. I needed to say goodbye."
He reached into his bag and pulled out the rose he had stolen at recess from the garden.
"For you, my flower."
Videl's face burnt bright red as she took the single rose in her shaky hand.
"Goodbye Gohan Son." She whispered. "I wish you all the best."
Gohan hugged her tightly. "Miss you. Have a good life, Videl."
"LAST CALLS FOR THE NEXT FLIGHT TO JAPAN!" The irritating voice bellowed over the loud speaker.
"We have to go, Gohan!" Hiro called. "Hurry."
Gohan gave Videl a final wave and then climbed onto the plane, finally ready to go home.
Late the following day, a sharp knock echoed on the Son family's front door. Two year old Goten Son toddled over and pushed it open.
"GOHAN!" He screamed and knocked his older brother to the floor.
Gohan laughed, holding Goten above his head. "Hey little brother! Wow, you've grown so much since I last saw you. You'll be ready to start training with me soon." "YAY, YAY, YAY!" Goten screamed. "Mama, come quick! Gohan is home!"
Chi-Chi came to the front door and gasped. "Gohan! I can't believe your really home!"
"Hey mum!" Gohan stood up and hugged her tightly. "How have you been?"
"We missed you so much, didn't we Goten?" Chi-Chi said as she lifted her toddler son into her arms. "I'm so happy to have you home with us again. It's such a shame that your school isn't closer to home, then loosing you again at the end of the holiday brake would be easier to bare."
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, mother." Gohan said as he came inside and dumped his bags on the floor. "I don't want to go back to Ellawin next year. I want to stay at home and learn here, like I did for my primary school years."
"Why?" Chi-Chi asked as she lifted his bags.
"Because I missed everyone too much." Gohan laughed. "I would rather stay at home or go to a nearby school where I could fly to and from everyday."
Chi-Chi smiled kindly, too overjoyed to see her son to really care. "Is that's what you want to do Gohan, then I really don't mind. I'm just happy that you tried something new for a year and didn't complain to me once. But if going to school overseas doesn't work for you, then you don't have to go back again."
"We missed you too much, Gohan!" Goten piped in.
"Missed you too, Goten." Gohan smiled and hugged his baby brother. "I'm going to Capsule corp. to say hello to Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks. Want to come with me?"
"Yes please!" Goten cried.
"We'll all go." Said Chi-Chi. "It can be a welcome home party for Gohan."
The small family left the house and Gohan couldn't help smiling to the sun. He had had fun at Ellawin, battling ghosts, making close friends and trying to hide his identity. But now he knew, that his real place was here, with his family and friends.
