I just want to remind everyone that my original first chap. got erased. I didn't have a copy because it got erased from the computer and I've been having floppy problems. I re-wrote it, uploaded it…and it's pretty similar…the re-write is pretty good. I'm happy with it. So, I hope everyone has read the first chap…whether you've read the original, the re-write or both!
Domo Arigatou!

The "Momma" poem belongs to me…but not any character belonging to DBZ.
Okay…okay…there's a little delay to the confrontation…but it's coming…
Ja ne!
'I'm so confused.' Gohan thought to himself and banged his hand down on his bed. He was lying stretched out and facing down into his pillow. 'I know how they looked at me. They think I'm so strange…like I was an Alien or something!'
Gohan felt anger flush through him quickly and then he realized what he had said. 'That's right, I forgot…I AM an Alien! How wonderful. Is this what's meant for me, Father? To know nothing but death and loss and to finally be introduced to other (untainted humans) but never be able to feel kinship with them…to always feel alone? How can I bond with humans, I'm not like them and I'll screw everything up…that girl-!'
Images of Satan Videl invaded his mind. Her glossy ebony hair, her dark violet eyes, porcelain skin…'Why does she stand out so much? I've only talked her briefly…she seems so angry…as angry as I am…I guess…or at least, frustrated.'
He focused on her for a few seconds more and tried to clear his mind. Gohan had no idea of what was going on. 'Will all girls stick in my head like this?' He wondered.
Then it came to him…yes, everything will get screwed up…'She'll screw it up…what if she really tries to exhume my secrets? I'd never fit in then! Why am I even in school? What's the point!'
"I hate school!" A feisty teenager yelled. 'Damn Trig! Will I ever need this? All I need to know is how to beat some guy's face in! School is so pointless. Stupid teenagers…what do they know? "Oh, I wish I could be you!" They exclaim. How could they be so blind? Do I look happy, though? No, and they're still so envious of me!'
Videl slammed her book shut and got up form her desk chair and went to her large bedroom window. She looked up at the stars and asked herself where the only person who ever cared for her was? 'It's not like she cares for me now, though. No one does! If she was manipulated against me-'
Videl sighed and looked down. 'That bastard poisoned your mind against your only child…and I couldn't bring you back…I couldn't bring you back to reality.'
'Why did this happen to me? Why can't anyone understand me? Because I don't let them, right? They'd never understand…my Step-dad warped my mother's mind and my father's got everyone else's poisoned. As if you could save the world? You're so nervous when I ask for a break from fighting crime for a day…'
"But Vidy!" Mr. Satan exclaimed, "If you don't fight crime today, the city will lose faith in us! You can't let me down…because I can't let THEM down." Mr. Satan then got on his hands and knees and clasped both his hands together almost as if he'd start raising his hands up higher in order to pray.
"But dad, it's only one day! I want a break! Why don't you fight crime? I'm your only daughter, I'm not as well trained as you…you just send me out there bare handed and think nothing will happen to me? When something does happen…well, what will you say? What will you do? Would you even care?' She then looked her father in the eyes and noticed that nothing shone in them any concern no nothing? I want a break…you can save people today! I'm not!" Videl yelled, and stomped off.
Everyone's mind is so malleable. "Hi I'm Mr. Satan and you've all seen me go to the Cell games, well, guess what? I beat that Demon! I'm your savior!" Videl mocked and threw her hands up…
She then altered her voice, and got down into a praying position. "Oh, thank you, Mr. Satan, you've truly saved us…you're our hero! Hurray!"
She shook her head and stood up. 'Idiots,' she thought, walked back to her desk, and opened her trig book once again.
