A/N: This is a DBZ fic that will span from the end of the Cells Games until at least the Budokai Tournament that Goku comes back for. Most likely after wards as well. It is a sort of AU because parts of it follow the DBZ storyline.

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own DBZ? No, I don't. So please, don't sue me. I write this only for my own pleasure and if others like it, than that's good, I'm glad that they do.

The meaning of father.

His eyes locked with Videl's. He had known that she would be here. He didn't know how, but he did.

"Gohan! Sit by us!" A voice yelled. He looked and found it belonged to the female blonde that had accompanied Videl when he'd met the girl.

"Well it appears the only empty seat is next to Miss Erasa, so go take the seat Mr. Son," the teacher said. Gohan nodded and went and sat next to the blonde.

::Hello.:: He greeted them. They said their hellos and sat and waited for the teacher to begin his lecture. As the teacher droned on, Gohan gave a mental sigh. If this is what they learned in high school he was set. Everything the teacher was talking about he'd learned at a young age.

::Hi Goten.:: Gohan's mental voice said from school. He was bored and looking for something to do.

'Hiya Gohan!' The young boy answered back.

::What are you doing?:: Asked the teen.

'Helping Bulma make lunch,' the little boy answered back.

::Okay, well, I'm going now, so talk to you later!:: Gohan told his little brother.

'Okay, bye big brother!' Gohan heard as Goten's thoughts wisped away. Gohan opened his eyes; it was easier to concentrate if he closed them when speaking long distances. He felt someone's eyes on him. Looking to where he thought the person was, he found that it was Videl.

::What, is there something on my face?:: Gohan asked.

"No," Videl squeaked out. He shook his head and seemed to be muttering something. Slowly, within the next week or so, Gohan settled in a pattern of home, school, and all the other things in his life. About a month after school started, the teacher announced that the class would go on a field trip. Gohan, who usually was off talking to his friends, perked up. School had been so boring and he hoped they'd go somewhere interesting.

"Class, we're going to Capsule Corp. next Monday. Please have your parent or guardian sign this form and turn it in by Thursday," were the teacher's instructions.

"Man, this is going to be so cool!" Erasa squealed; much of the class seemed in agreement with her.

Gohan on the other hand was silently asking his godmother why.

'I didn't know it was your class. The school asked and I said sure, why not. They didn't tell me which class it would be,' she explained. He gave a mental sigh and said he'd see her later. With that, the mental link between the two was closed. Raising his hand he wondered if he could get out of class for a bit.

"Yes Mr. Son, what is it?" Asked his teacher.

::May I go to the nurses office?:: He asked. The teacher told him no and Gohan groaned. Soon, it was time to go home and Gohan did that with pleasure.

::Bulma! Where are you?:: He shouted.

"Right here," the blue haired bombshell replied form right behind him.

::Sign this or let me stay home.:: He ordered, handing her his permission slip. She rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, 'Teenagers sure are moody.'

Woman, get out of my head! A sharp, gruff voice replied to her thoughts.

Sorry. So what's got you in such a bad mood? She replied. She signed the paper, using Vegeta's name instead of her own. All she received from the prince was a snort and a stay out of my head. Gohan took the paper and ran off to his room.

"Hi big brother!" Goten yelled when he saw his brother.

"Hi Gohan," the son of Vegeta said. Gohan didn't reply. He was in a bad mood and wanted to be left alone. But fate has a nasty way of changing everything. That and an ignored child. The two little boys Gohan had ignored moments before barged in and tackled Gohan. Soon, he had the two held out at arms length and gave them a glare each.

::Bulma, I'm going over to Yamcha's for the night.:: Gohan announced. Without waiting for an answer, the teen flew over to Satan City. Landing on the top of the apartment complex that housed Yamcha's penthouse, he gave a sigh and went through the stairs that lead from the roof to the living room of the penthouse. Living on the top floor had it's advantage's. Gohan frowned, there were lights on.

'What the?' He questioned. 'I was sure I turned the lights off from the last time I was here,' He thought to himself. Feeling around for ki, he found Yamcha's in the apartment. With someone. Gohan realized why and what Yamcha was doing here. He quickly left.

Having nothing to do, he wandered around the city. He was restless and he doubted he would have stayed long at the apartment anyways.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Someone yelled. He turned to see a police officer yelling at him and a few others.

"HYAAH!" A familiar voice yelled out. A man flew out of the building in front of Gohan, a bank he noticed. Just then Videl came out, dragging another criminal out with her.

::Videl, what are you doing here?:: Gohan asked when the police left.

"Hi Gohan, I help the police ca catch criminals sometimes," she said. The two were walking around together. "Hey, wanna go and catch a flick with Erasa, Sharpie and me? I'm supposed to meet them in half an hour to see the new Launch movie," Videl asked.

::I'd love to, but I've got no money on me.:: Gohan said.

"That's okay, I'll pay for you and you can pay me back when you do have money on you," Videl replied.

::Thanks.:: Gohan replied. Half an hour later the two teens met up with the other two and went inside together.

"Four for Sunrise," Videl told the ticket seller. Handing over the money, she took the tickets and the four went inside the cool theatre.

"There's some seats over here," Erasa said to her friends, spotting four open. They sat down, the girls in the middle, guys on the outside. Ten minutes later, the movie started. As all Launch movies did, it started out in a calm and serene forest. But a yell disrupted teh silence and the sleeping birds flew from their posts to a safer spot.

A blonde woman, very tough looking and pretty scary came into view. She was holding a Tommy gun and stalked through the forest.

"Who disturbed my sleep?" She questioned. The screen faded to black and the word: Sunrise, appeared with a picture of two Launch's, the ditzy one with a shy grin plastered on her face, the other the blonde from moments before with her trademarked scowl setting on her face, just below the words.

The movie was a good one, as was a fact for all Launch films'. It told of a maiden who was awoken and vowed revenge on the one who had woken her. The maiden, named Flow, was supposed to slept for the rest of eternity. But she had only till sunrise of the next month to find the one who had woken her. Just when she was about to kill the one who had woken her, her time was up and she turned to statue, then shattered, but not before an unearthly cry pierced the hearts of all in the world. There was enough touching parts to appeal to the girls, but enough butt kicking action to appeal to guys, which meant that the film was an instant success.

"Wow, that movie was s awesome," Videl said as the group walked out. They all nodded in agreement.

"Let's go get something to eat," Erasa suggested.

"Why don't we go back to my house?" Videl suggested.

"Sure," was the group response. Videl pulled out the capsule that held her helicopter. They climbed in the helicopter when it appeared moments later adn Videl flew them to Satan mansion.

A/N: This is where it will stop today. Took me awhile, huh? Sorry about that, but school's started and I haven't really been in a writing mood. But I figured that I had best get out another chapter soon, so I forced myself to write. Amazingly, now I have the urge to write a quick one shot about my favorite Dragonball character, Launch. I've always wondered what happened to her after Dragonball, because as far as my knowledge goes, she never shows up again after Dragonball ends.

Also, forcing yourself to write can be an excellent remedy to writer's block. I need to update on Kimi watashi ga natsukashi and CLRGL really bad. Oh, and the whole field trip to CC will only be a chapter or two long, this isn't one of those 'Let's Ruin the Nice Structured Life Of Our Favorite Demi Saiya-jinn Son Gohan' fics, though I do love reading them and even have TWO of my own. CLRGL, which is co written with Kioko and Help, written by me alone. Oh, and if you seem to think you've seen that term used before, it's DemonDancing's, but we all love using it. By we, I mean all teh teen Gohan torturers, such as well, DemonDancing of course, Frozenflower, Kioko, Megami-sama, and Sapphire Eye, just to name a few. Oh, and Liz12 has a really good one too. SO, if you like that kind of fic, check out one of their worksmeaning.
