[One Week Later...] --At Morutaka High School...--
"Bulma Breifs, you've been late for every class since you came to this school!" The teacher, Itose-sensei, scolded as Bulma walked into first period class late on Monday morning. "I am going to have to send you to the office!" Itose-sensei said, his vo e raised. Bulma nodded. "Yes sir," she left classroom 1-E, and followed the signs for visitors towards the office. She had been late for all her classes because she hadn't been able to find her classrooms on time for the bell. Now she walked slowly into he office, and sat in a chair.
"Bulma?" Eighteen and Chi-Chi were in the office too! Bulma jumped, suddenly having her friends beside her.
"What the hell are you guys doin' here?!" Bulma half-yelled.
"We got sent to the office for bein' late." Chi-Chi laughed.
"Me too!" Bulma said. The girls sighed, and sat in silence a moment before the woman at the desk in the office spoke to them.
"The headmaster would like to see you three now." She croaked over a sore throat. Bulma, Chi-Chi, and Eighteen walked in a straight line into the office of Tanaka-sensei.
"Good morning, girls." Tanaka-sensei grinned. Bulma shuddered. Did this guy like punishing kids or what?!
"G-good morning, s-sir..." Chi-Chi led her friends in a response.
"The three of you have all been late for every class this week, every day. You are the only ones who seem to be having trouble getting to class on time, while your classmates are on time and maybe even early for class. Why so?" The headmaster asked, ta ing his desk.
"Well, like you say; we've been having trouble getting to class." Eighteen said dryly.
"I see. What kind of trouble?"
"We can't find any of our classes fast enough!" Chi-Chi explained. "This school is really big!"
"Uh-huh..." Tanaka-sensei looked at the paperweights on his desk, and pushed a pencil in an electric sharpener, just for fun. He pulled it out, and clicked his tongue while thinking of what to do about this. He couldn't have lost students...maybe-- "Th 's it!" He snapped.
"What?" Bulma scratched her head.
"You'll see!" Tanaka-sensei bounded from the smaller office and to the main desk. "Miss Takeuchi, please page students Son, Ouji, and...uh...what is that boy's last name?" He tapped his chin. "Oh, whatever, say Krillin." He shrugged, and walked back to is office. He sat in his chair, and waited for the announcement.
"Would students Son, Ouji, and Krillin come to the office, please?" Was said over the loudspeaker.
"What's goin' on here?" Eighteen mumbled to herself.
--In the hallway...--
"Hey, Goku, why didn't they call me by my last name?" Krillin wondered as he left the classroom and saw his friend walking in the same direction. "Uh...what IS your last name, Krillin?" Goku asked.
"Er..."
"Anyways, what do you think we're going to the office for?" Goku asked.
"You imbeciles, Tanaka-sensei has probably thought of something for us to do for that prank last week." Vegeta said, walking up behind the two. Krillin jumped. "How do you sneak up on people like that?! You almost gave me a heart attack, y'know! I coul died right here and now!" He yelled.
"Your loss, not mine." Vegeta shrugged. He walked on, leaving Goku and Krillin at their slightly slower pace towards the office.
--In the office...--
"Tanaka-sensei would like to see you three in his office." The lady at the desk said as Vegeta, Goku, and Krillin entered the office.
"Thanks." Goku led the band into the room. "Huh?" He scratched his head, seeing the girls already in chair before the desk.
"Come on in, boys." Tanaka-sensei said. Vegeta closed the door behind the trio, and they sat in yet more chairs in the room. The teacher gave a wicked smile, and sat in his desk. "Girls., your problems tardy class appearances are over. Each one of thes three is in a different homeroom, as yourselves, and each one happens to be in one of your classes." He said.
"What...?" Goku rubbed his head.
"Now, just let me see my book here," Tanaka-sensei rummaged through a pile of papers, and found a stapled together pile of sheets. He flipped through it, and found a list of names for the tenth grade. "Ah, you see? Son Goku, you'll help Chi-Chi get to r classes for the rest of the year, because you are in the same class."
"What!? The whole year!?"
"Yes, starting after I kick you all out of my office."
"Oh..." Goku decided he would make the best of his situation. "So, your name's Chi-Chi?" He pointed at the blonde girl.
"No, she is." Eighteen jabbed Chi-Chi in the ribs.
"Hey, ow, what was that for?"
"Nothing."
"Silence..." Tanaka-sensei turned to the next page in his book. "Ah, and Krillin, you're going to be Eighteen's escort..."
"M-me?!" Krillin fell off his chair. Was this not the same girl that had blown kisses to him last week in the assembly?!
"Oh, so your name is Krillin! That's a cute name." Eighteen said playfully, waving at her new 'partner.'
"Uh...heh heh..." Krillin blushed.
"That leaves one last pair." Tanaka-sensei smirked, pushing the book closed. "Vegeta, you're going to be with Bulma."
"Hmph." Vegeta crossed his arms. "So, I have to take this girl to all our classes? She's going to follow me all over the school?"
"Yes. This is your punishment for the assembly incident."
"What?! I don't want to baby-sit any girl, I refuse to!" Vegeta yelled. Bulma looked down. She'd thought he was cute, he liked Chi-Chi, and yet he hated all girls. He wasn't making any sense, and he was hurting her feelings while doing so!
"Just for that remark, I will make sure you boys sit with them at lunch, too. You can all sit in a group of six, if you like, but boys, you are not to leave your assigned partner's side until they are guided out of the school after classes." Tanaka-sen i said. He was definitely enjoying this.
"What?!" Vegeta was going to punch this stupid teacher if he didn't have the whole thing called off in two seconds.
"Ah, ah, you don't want to make it any worse, do you?"
"How could it be any worse, I have to play guardian angel for some stupid girl!" Bulma thought she was going to cry if Vegeta said anything else. Tanaka-sensei laughed. "And now you can all walk the girls home after school."
"Uh...my Grampa wants me back right away after school, he's afraid I'll get lost." Goku raised his hand.
"That's your own problem, Goku..." Tanaka-sensei was feeling incompassionate as well as cruel today.
"I am NOT going to do this!" Vegeta yelled, jumping from his chair. "So grade THIS!" He shook his middle finger at the teacher.
"And now you can all walk them TO school, and Vegeta, YOU can carry Bulma's books. That'll be your own punishment, for only you to bear. I won't make it any harder for Krillin and Goku. Just you." Bulma beamed. There goes that 'my arms are going to fal off' every day after school! She was going to have fun loading her backpack with extra junk.
"What the hell are you--"
"And, Vegeta, for cursing in a teacher's office, you can do Bulma's homework with her too. I don't care if it's on the phone or in person. And don't think I won't find out if you don't do it, because I have my ways. And your parents will know about thi too."
"Er, sir, I live on an island, and already have trouble getting to and from school." Krillin said.
"Well, I guess you just picked the wrong year to pull a prank on me, now didn't you?" Tanaka-sensei snapped. "Now off to classes, all of you!" He pointed at the door.
