Two of a kind... - by stranger12
Hello! There I was, again, thinking of a Dragon Ball Z story I could eventually write. Here it is! Gohan has a twin sister... Strong and gorgeous! They are going to high school... And... There are tragedies that came into their lives...
PS: Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes along the way.
PS2: Hum... Not sure about making Videl and Gohan a couple... It's just that... I never REALLY saw sparks flying between them, so I don't really consider them to be a good couple to work with. Sorry for the G/V lovers.
PS3: Romance... I need to get Leena (Gohan's sister) a good and nice guy... Hum...
PS4: Ocasional and light swearing.

Chapter 002: Meeting new people
Son Gohan and Leena... New students... At OSH - Orange Star High -, a high school located in... Satan City...
"Why, Bulma?" - Gohan asked one more time. The older woman sighed irritated - "And why did you agree on this so fast, Leena?"
"Because, nii - chan. Just because" - Leena replied, smiling.
"Oh, come on! It's not like we actually need it!"
"Mom told me to make sure her three kids were always studying hard. And I will, nii - chan"
"But...!"
"No 'buts', dear Gohan. No, no! We're going to OSH starting tomorrow. Which DOES remind me... We gotta take the tests today after we... Uh... Register"
"Leena!"
"Nii - chan, must I remind you that I can freeze you and simply MAKE you come with me? Or... No... Can't freeze you... You gotta take the test... Well, in that case, I can still ask uncle Vegeta to MAKE you come... And you know how uncle Vegeta is so nice to me, don't you? He always does what I ask him to" - Gohan gulped.
"You're meaner than Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks together" - he said.
"Oh, that's not nice, nii - chan! Bulma is very nice, and so is Trunks! And uncle Vegeta is one of the nicest people in the universe!" - Vegeta, coming in and obviously listening to the conversation, blushed deeply. Bulma, seeing this, giggled.
"What is going on?" - he said. Leena, brighting up and opening a huge smile, ran to him and hugged him tight, as she always did. He blushed harder - "Eh... Leena?"
"Yes, uncle Vegeta?" - she had stars in her eyes, and the Saiyan Prince simply couldn't make her sad by telling her to stay away. Oh, boy...
"Whatever. Brat, Leena, let's go already" - Leena smiled, but Gohan seemed confused.
"Go... Where?"
"Haven't told them yet, Bulma?"
"Of course I have, Vegeta, but Gohan kept telling he didn't want to go to school, so I forgot to tell him you were going to take them there"
"Say what again?"
"Oh, Gohan... Please? Vegeta is more... Sutable for this. I can't go, and Goku... Well, he's going too, so..."
"Dad is going too?"
"Of course! He is, after all, your father, Gohan!"
"Yeah, of course he is, but even so..."
"Hey, you guys're ready?" - Goku asked coming in the room. Vegeta sighed and Leena ran to her father, kissing him on the cheek.
"If Gohan stops with the stupidity, then yeah" - Vegeta growled.
"Okay, okay! Kami..."
Soon enough, Son Goku, Gohan and Leena, plus Briefs Vegeta left the Capsule Corp. To Satan City... To the OSH...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The four strangers to the Satan City arrived in the former Orange Star City, home of the so called World Champion, which was a clear and very obvious joke to all of the Z fighters and friends.
Leena looked hapily around her, hanging onto Vegeta's arm. Goku was pretty much like Leena, but Gohan looked pretty bored. And none of them seemed to notice the many and many lustful looks people were sending them.
They finally reached OSH. Fortunately for them, it was not yet the end of the school day, so the students were nowhere to be seen.
"Isn't this just the prettiest place we could go to, nii - chan?" - Leena said cheerfully. Gohan rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Uncle Vegeta, what to you think of this place?"
"This is what you call a school?"
"Yes"
"Not that bad, considering what my schools were like"
"Oh, yeah... Daddy?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think this is a nice school?"
"Yeah... I guess it is..."
"And we are going to be here everyday starting tomorrow..." - Gohan looked almost... Disgusted.
"Finally!" - he said when they got to the school's office. The secretary quickly took Leena and Gohan to a private room, where they'd take their entrance exams.
"Nervous, nii - chan?"
"No... You?" - he looked surprised at her. Leena... Nervous?
"A little... And... Scared..."
"Why?"
"'Cause... We've never been around people our age before... Just... Well... Friends of daddy..."
"Yeah... I know... But we... You'll do okay, Leena. I know that for sure"
"Oh, so are you, nii - chan"
"Thanks" - as they finished their quick conversation, the secretary entered the room and handed them their tests and a pen, then sat in front of them and they started.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay... Already?" - thirty minutes... That's how long the Son twins took to finish their exams. Strangely, they finished right at the same moment. The secretary couldn't believe it! Half an hour! Most took almost four to seven hours!
They left the small room and the secretary left the two Sons to Goku and Vegeta. She went to the so called Score Machine, where a test could be put and then, the results of it would come out right away, no long waiting periods required.
"How did you do?" - asked Goku grinning.
"Okay, I guess" - Gohan said.
"Yeah. It was easy enough" - Leena said already on Vegeta's arm.
They waited for about three minutes until the secretary came to them. Boy, did she look... Surprised
"Perfect" - she said.
"What is?" - Leena asked.
"Your... Scores... Perfect. 100%"
"Really? Oh, that's so good, isn't it, nii - chan?"
"Yeah"
"Well, I... I'm sorry, I need your names and..." - they gave her all of their info and they were soon out of there.
"I don't know where you two got so much smartness from" - Vegeta commented - "Don't know about your mother, but Kakarot... Not possible that you got that from him"
"Hey! Take that back!"
"Not gonna happen"
"Daddy, uncle Vegeta, come on, don't fight!" - Leena said. She finally noticed there were quite a number of students looking at them. She smiled nicely - "There are so many students here!"
"Of course, Leena. What did you think? It's a big city, and this is their only school" - Gohan said rolling his eyes, a bit annoyed by the looks he was finally noticing.
"It is?" - Leena said innocently.
"Yeah..."
"Ah..."
"Kami, let's go already!" - Vegeta growled, very annoyed by the students staring at them.
"Shouldn't we..."
"No, Leena, come on!" - and with that, the foursome left OSH in a blink of eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Nii - chan! Nee - chan!" - little Goten, a Goku miniature, cried - "You can't go to school!"
"Oh, yes we do, Goten" - Leena said sweetly, yet firm - "We must have a... Good education outside of home as well" - Think I'll keep to myself mommy's words... 'Don't forget to get a life, honey!'
"But... I'll be all alone..."
"What about daddy?"
"Oh... Yeah! Daddy!" - little Goten stopped crying and ran to his father, eating an enormous sandwich with Gohan and Vegeta (each with their own sandwich). Leena sighed relieved.
"What is... It... Goten?" - Goku asked between bites.
"You're gonna stay home, won't you?"
"Huh?"
"You won't go anywhere like nii - chan and nee - chan, are you?"
"No, I sure won't, little one" - he split his sandwich in two (that's love!) and gave one half to Goten - "Eat up, Goten!"
"Thank you, daddy!" - he sat on the table and started eating.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Did you like the school, Leena?" - Bulma asked when the girl entered the lab. Leena went to Bulma's side.
"A lot! It's so pretty there!"
"Really? You know, I went there..."
"You did?"
"Yes. There's actually a lab there, a Science lab, named after me"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Oh, you're so good, Bulma!" - the older woman blushed.
Man, she sure knows how to make someone blush
"Yeah... Thanks. So... Is Gohan more up to it?"
"Not really. He's a little cranky..."
"As usual"
"Yeah, I know..." - Leena caught the capsule flying from Mr. Briefs's hand and smiled - "Is this that new car?"
"Well, yes, Leena" - he said sweetly. Leena went to him, handed him the capsule and took Blackie (what's that cat's name, anyway? Well, I'll call him 'Blackie' whenever he shows up, okay?) from his shoulder. It yawned and brushed its head against the girl's face. She giggled.
"It's amazing..."
"What is, sir?" - Leena asked caressing the cat.
"You're the only one Blackie ever lets himself get caught by, besides me"
"Oh... Well... I like you too, Blackie!" - the cat yawned again and seemed to smile.
"Oh, yes! Would you help me a bit, Leena?"
"With what?" - she put Blackie back to Mr. Briefs's shoulder.
"The design of this engine is okay, I guess, but... There's something missing... Would you care to help me?"
"Of course, sir! Do you have a pencil?"
The girl is good... Maybe... She could be even better than Bulma, and my daughter is a genius! Gohan is good too, but he doesn't spend as much time here as Leena. Oh, she's a blessing... And she's gorgeous...
"How about this, sir?" - Leena asked after five minutes. Mr. Briefs snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the design. He smiled.
"That's just it, Leena! Very, very, very good, girl!"
"Thank you, sir" - she put the pencil down - "Now... What are you gonna name it? Does it have a name already?"
She helps me and Bulma since she and her family came here... She designed so many and many and many things... And... Hum...
"Well, no, it doesn't have a name, yet. We're kinda still working on it... Aren't we, Bulma?"
"What?"
"Do we have a name for this car over here"
"Not really. We have suggestions, but nothing conclusive. Why? Did you have a good idea, dad?"
"I think so... Just need your approval" - he went to her and whispered on her ear - "How about... Son Leena?"
"What?"
"She helps us a lot" - he continued, still whispering. Leena was entertaining herself playing wih Blackie, which flew from Mr. Briefs shoulder moments before - "And for years and years"
"You're right... But... In that case..."
"What?"
"Give her name to a car is nothing. And, besides, Gohan helps us too. Unfair to do this to him"
"Yes, I suppose you're right... Then what?"
"How about... The Son collection?"
"What?"
"That collection of cars and stuff... We're going to release the names of the items and the collection Friday, in just three days... How about it?"
"Very good, Bulma! I'm sure that at least Leena will like it very much. I mean, Goku and Goten won't even notice it, and Gohan will probably hate it, but Leena..."
"What did I do?" - she asked.
"Did you... Hear anything else?" - Bulma asked, cautiously.
"No... Only my name. What is it?" - she was childish indeed, sometimes.
"Oh, no... Nothing at all, Leena. We were simply..."
"We can't tell. It'll ruin the great surprise, honey!" - Leena frowned - "What is it, Leena?"
"Could you... Not call me that, Bulma?" - she said silently.
"Sure... But... Why?"
"Mommy called me that..."
"Kami... I'm so... So sorry, Leena..." - she hugged the girl.
"It's okay, Bulma. Really" - she opened a Son smile.
Leena... You're the strong one in the Son family... Even more than Chi Chi... You never cried... Not for anyone... Ever... Not once I heard, I saw you crying over anyone or anything... You're the strong one... And that's hard... It's the worst and hardest job in the world... Oh, Leena...
"Well... Oh, Leena, dear!"
"What?"
"What are you going to wear tomorrow?"
"I almost forgot!"
"Designs..." - Mr. Briefs said quickly before they ran off through the doors. They nodded.
"Yeah... After dinner, Leena?"
"Yes, please, Bulma!"
Bulma finally found someone to share her passion for clothes with... Dende, help us
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning started early. Around six thirty (okay... Maybe it's not THAT early, but, okay).
"Good morning!" - said Leena smiling brightly and fixing her hair bow.
"Good morning, dear" - Bulma said. She and her father were already by the table, and so was Gohan. Leena sat down and yawned.
"It's going to be a very good day...!" - she chanted cheerfully. Gohan looked at her almost... Disgusted by her happiness so early in the morning. And to go to school!
"Please, Leena. I'm not in the mood for this"
"What?"
"Your... Chanting and happy giggling"
"I am not giggling, nii - chan"
"That's all I hear"
"That may be... But I am most certainly happy today! I am going to school for the first time after all... And so are you, nii - chan! You should be happy too"
"I'm not! I didn't want to go to school, Leena!"
"Yeah, yeah" - she put a few strawberries on her pancakes - "Well, you don't have a say on this"
"This what?"
"Your studies, my studies and Goten's studies"
"And why is that?"
"Mommy made sure I'd take care of this matter, and only I, and that is exactly what I am going to do, got that?"
"Okay, okay... Kami..."
"Oh, no! None of that!"
"What did I do?"
"No praying to Dende asking for some sort of natural disaster, hear me? 'Cause if anything of that sort happens..." - she looked up - "I WILL MAKE SURE WE NO LONGER HAVE A KAMI CALLED DENDE! I WILL MAKE SURE KAMI IS CALLED MR. POPO INSTEAD!"
"Leena..." - Gohan tried to say, sweatdropping a little.
"Did you hear me, Dende? I know you did, so answer me back, otherwise..."
//I'm here, I'm here!// - Dende's voice could be heard.
"Ha! Now, you did hear me, right?"
//Loud and clear, Leena//
"Good"
//I won't hear a thing Gohan says about that new school of yours or anything about me causing natural disasters to keep you from going there and get a good education, although... You really don't need it//
"Yeah, but mommy..."
//I know, Leena. Oh, well... Gotta go. Things in Brazil to take care of... And something in Africa too... Well, come visit, okay?//
"Consider it done, Dende! I'll go... We'll go on Saturday. How's that?"
//Sounds good enough for me. Bye, everyone!//
"Bye!" - they all said, except for Gohan, who only growled, annoyed.
"Nii - chan!"
"Don't do that again!"
"Do what?"
"Use your... Influence over Dende and use it against me!"
"Whatever do you mean, nii - chan?"
"Leena..."
"What?"
"You'll never, ever change, will you ever?"
"Not really"
"Great"
"What time is it?"
"Time to go" - Bulma said.
"Seven five... Let's go, nii - chan"
"What? Why?"
"I don't want to be late, got that?"
"Okay..."
Soon, they were out of Capsule Corp, and heading to Satan City, the city right next to the one they'd been living for the last seven years, the West City.
After easy thirty minutes or so, they got to OSH. They went to the office talking to each other, not even noticing the many, many, many and many stares. And not because they were new...
"Oh, hello. Good morning" - said the secretary sweetly. She was much younger than the one they met the day before - "How may I help you?"
"We're new" - Gohan said.
"We took the entrance exams yesterday, and..."
"Oh, so you're the Son twins..."
"Yes, we are"
"The Principal would like to have a word or two with you"
"Sure..." - they were led to the Principal's office.
"Mister and miss Son" - the Principal said after they sat and the young secretary left - "I hear good things about you two"
"Like what, sir?" - Leena asked smiling.
"Like... Well, your entrance exams' scores"
"Oh..."
"Yes. The only person to ever get 100% on the entrance exams is..."
"Briefs Bulma?"
"Well, yes. I was actually a teacher here, and I was very impressed with that. But now..."
"We hope we can live up to your... Expectations, sir" - Leena said ever so polite. Gohan almost rolled his eyes, but didn't.
"Oh, that's so nice to hear, miss Son"
"I'm Leena, sir, and my nii - chan is Gohan"
"Oh, alright, then"
"Are we excused?"
"Well, yes, of course you are" - Leena and Gohan got up - "Have a good first day"
"Thank you, sir"
They left the Principal's office. They met up with the young secretary, who smiled to them.
"Hey, you two! Schedules here. Same to you two, as you requested"
"Thank you very much"
The twins walked side by side smiling to each other, Gohan a little uneasy due to the fact he was actually noticing the stares people were giving them and, specially, the stares and drooling towards Leena.
Who the hell do they think they are, looking so... Lustful at my dear and precious little sister? Chill, Gohan... Don't kill anyone...
"Neh, nii - chan!"
"What?"
"You weren't listening to me? Ah!" - she punched him on the arm, and it actually hurt!
How did she get so damn strong? She doesn't train as much as I do... Come on! Dende, why are you mean to me? I know you have a crush on Leena, but come on!
//I don't have a crush on her!//
"Huh?"
"What's wrong, nii - chan?"
"I thought... Oh..." - he smirked - //You do...//
//Do not!//
//Oh, but you do, dear friend//
//Ah! Stop that, Gohan!//
//Nope. You let them, as in Bulma and Leena, drag me to high school. Not nice. I'm gonna SCREAM to the whole world, and you know I can, that you are totally and madly in love with my little sis//
//What are you saying, Gohan!?//
"Nii - chan, why are you being so mean to Dende?"
"What? How did you...?"
"I heard him scream. I wouldn't be very surprised if even 'they' heard him" - she motioned to the other students.
"Yeah, well... I was only saying some things I know for sure as truths, but he denies it"
//'Cause they are not truths!//
//Hey, Dende?//
//Yes?//
//Leena heard you screaming at me//
//She... Did?//
//Oh, yeah//
//Damn...//
//Don't worry... She doesn't think less of you, Dende. Just, maybe, that you're pretty... Loud//
//I don't care about what Leena thinks of me!//
//Oh, you don't?//
//Huh? AH! Leena!//
//Yeah, it's me! You don't care about my oppinion, is that it?//
//No, no, Leena! Of course not! Come on, let me explain...!//
//Hey, Kami, don't you have a whole world to take care of?//
//Huh? Oh...//
//Yeah! But I still love ya!//
*Deep blush* - //Oh... Yeah... Hum... Gotta go, bye!//
"Huh? Dende is weird sometimes..."
"He sure is. Maybe it's a Namekusei characteristic... Piccolo - sama is weird too, sometimes..."
"But he's relly nice!"
"Yeah..." - Gohan replied, sweatdropping - Man, she just has the weirdest taste! There's Piccolo - sama, who she loves, but there's Vegeta, who she seems to adore and love more than dad and me! Man...
"We're here, Gohan" - she blushed and looked at him - "Nervous?"
"Not much. You are, though"
"Yeah..." - she knocked lightly on the door a few times. It opened soon enough.
"Oh, the new students" - the old teacher said after opening the door - "Class, we have two new students. They are siblings... Well, actually, twins. They got perfect scores on their entrance exams, so learn from them"
"Two nerds. Probably with horrible clothes and... Glasses and..." - the boy with long blond hair stopped suddenly when he set his eyes on Leena. His jaw, just like all of the other jaws in the class, boys and girls, fell while gaping at the two new students.
(Okay... Let's see what they are wearing, shall we?)
Leena was wearing a plain blue skirt that went until the middle of her thighs, and a white sleeveless shirt. Her hair was tied in a loose braid (not exactly a braid... It doesn't use three parts of the hair, but only two... Kinda... No, exactly like Mutsumi's hair in 'Love Hina'), hanging on her shoulder. On her feet, nice white boots, very low.
Gohan, oh Gohan... He was wearing a black turtle neck, plain black pants, a black leather jacket and black shoes as well. Matched his spiky black hair perfectly. His built was not totally showing off, but it was not very hidden either (Gohan's look by Bulma and Leena!)
Whispers all around the class... The two young Saiyans caught a few.
"Look at her body... So... Kami!"
"Oh Kami! He has some built... Wow!"
"How can Kami be so damn nice?"
"She's so Kami damn hot!"
Gohan and Leena blushed very hard, listening to such comments.
"Well, would you please introduce yourselves?" - the teacher asked.
"Hello, good morning and nice to meet you" - Leena blushed harder - "My name is Son Leena, and... I like to go shopping and to help my friend and her father with some... Designs. Oh, and I like to watch my nii - chan, my father and my uncle sparing"
"Eh... My name is Son Gohan. Nice meeting you all. I... I like reading a nice book once in a while, although I don't usually have the time to do so, I like helping my friend and her father designing some stuff, but that's only rarely, and I spend most of my time sparing with my father and my... Uh... Uncle"
"That's quite interesting, mister and miss Son. Well... Now... Where should you two sit...?"
"Together, please" - Leena said nervously. The teacher smiled to her and nodded.
"Yes... Together... Let's see..."
"Here, sir!" - a girl said standing up. She had short blond hair.
"Okay, please, you two, go and sit there" - they nodded and walked calmly to their seats.
"Hi! I'm Erasa!"
"Call me Leena and call nii - chan Gohan" - Leena said smiling brightly. Gohan growled very low and rolled his eyes when he saw what the teacher was writing on the board.
"Look at that, Leena"
"What?" - she looked at the board and giggled - "Oh... Is he serious?"
"I think he is" - Gohan kinda giggled too.
"Why are you laughing?" - Erasa asked curious - "That's pretty hard"
"It's just that... That's what we learned when we were eight or so"
"Wow!"
"Mommy sure was mean about it"
"Oh, yeah" - Gohan smiled at the memory of his mother - "But so are you" - he murmured, knowing perfectly well Leena would be able to hear him.
"What?"
"Nothing at all, Lee"
"When you call me that, you're up to no good"
"I resent that, dear little sister"
"And even worse when you call me that too!"
"Hey, I..." - suddenly, the door opened to reveal a brunete looking tired. Her hair was tied in two pigtails.
"I'm sorry, sir!" - she said entering.
"It's quite alright, Videl. Now, please, go to your seat. And, oh, we have two new students. There're sitting near you, so introduce yourself, okay?" - the girl ran the stairs and sat between Erasa and the blond guy. She looked at Leena and Gohan, who talked to each other, not really noticing her.
"Huh... Leena, Gohan?" - Erasa called the twins. They turned at the same moment, kinda startling her.
"Yes?" - they both said in unison - "Did you call, Erasa?"
"Yeah... This is my friend, Satan Videl, daughter of Mr. Satan, the world champion and the savior of the world!" - Videl expected them to shout and try to be friends with her, but they simply nodded, Leena seeming a bit taken aback - "Eh... Did you hear me?"
"Yeah, we did" - Leena said not smiling, but then she opened a shy and friendly one - "Nice meeting you, Videl. I'm Son Leena, and my nii - chan is Gohan"
"Hi!"
Man, he's hot!
"By the way, Erasa, thanks for not introducing me" - the blond guy said.
"Oops, sorry, Sharpener! Hey, Leena, Gohan, that one is another friend of ours: Sharpener"
"Hey there, cutie"
"Hello, Sharpener"
If he tries anything, I'll kill his sorry ass. No one messes with Leena, specially when I'm around - "Hey"
"Hey, Leena, where do you guys live?" - Erasa asked.
"In the West City"
"Oh... Where? We could visit you guys someday, right?"
"Sure! Not that there'd be anyone to say 'no' to that... Well... Of course that with daddy, uncle Vegeta, nii - chan, Trunks and Goten fighting outside of the GR, well... And Bulma with her eventual weird inventions... Remember that little red robot, nii - chan?"
"The devil #3?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh, that day was hell on Earth... And we started fighting outside of the GR... Man... That was a good day, though"
"Easy for you to say. You weren't the one trying not to kill one of the people you love the most"
"Oh, why would you ever need to kill any of us, Lee?"
"Up to no good..." - she chanted.
"Am not"
"Not in the mood for this"
"Eh... Did you say... Vegeta, Trunks and... Bulma? As in... The members of the Briefs family?" - Videl asked. Gohan sweatdropped nervously.
"Yes... We live there since... Well, since Goten, our little brother, was born... Seven years ago"
"You actually live at the Capsule Corp with the Briefs?"
"Wait... So... When you said you helped a friend of yours and her father... You meant..." - Erasa started.
"Yes, Bulma and Mr. Briefs. They're really nice, and once we never had much to do, specially me, they always let me give them a hand... It's quite nice, actually. I like it" - the girl set her eyes back to wathever it was that she was doing on her notebook. Erasa looked at it and gasped (A.N. Seats: Gohan - Leena - Erasa - Videl - Sharpener).
"Wow! What's that, Leena?" - Videl also looked, and was equally amazed.
"What, this? It's just this idea I had just now... I'll show it to Mr. Briefs and Bulma as soon as I get home... Nii - chan, what do you think?" - Gohan turned his eyes away from the board and looked at the drawing. By the way, it was a car.
"Ah... Cool... Engine?"
"Type K3-332"
"Nice...! Looks good..."
"I thought so too" - she sighed - "Think Bulma will like it?"
"Oh, please! There's not a single thing you've done in your entire life that Bulma hasn't liked until today, Leena... What the hell?"
"Students, I'd like to announce that we are going to have a special presentation in three days. There will be no classes that day, therefore, you do not need to bring your books and notebooks, but do pay attention to the presentation, because you're be required to write a paper on it, due Monday"
"Hey, sir, who is coming?" - Leena asked excited.
"Oh, you'll be most delighted, miss, once you seem to be a Science lover"
"I am, sir"
"Well, who is the greastest inventor and scientist in this whole world?"
"There are two"
"I'm sorry?"
"Briefs Bulma and her father"
"Oh, yes, that is... Correct"
"So... Who's coming?"
"Well, Briefs Bulma and her father are coming Friday to release their new collections of cars and other supplies" - Gohan and Leena sank on their seats - "It's a great honor and surprise, considering"
"I'm gonna kill her!" - Leena said.
"Yeah? You're not, 'cause I'm getting to her faster than you" - Gohan said angrily through his teeth.
"You guys are kinda like me and my dad" - Videl commented.
"Guess so..."
"So... Leena, Gohan... What's the deal between you two and the Briefs? I mean... Why do you live with them?" - Erasa asked.
"Well..." - Gohan started, but his eyes were starting to burn, so he silenced quickly, not able to continue. Erasa and Videl looked at Leena, who smiled nicely.
"It's just that... It's hard for any of us... We moved in with the Briefs after mommy died seven years ago, after giving birth to Goten" - she said still smiling.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Leena, Gohan, I had no idea..." - Erasa said.
"Of course not. Well, anyway, daddy knows Bulma since he was very young, and we all met uncle Vegeta when nii - chan and me were about five or so, and they were nice enough to let us... Go live with them. Daddy is... How can I put it...? Well, he never really did well with this whole... Working thing... So, we went to live with the Briefs. At least there daddy has something to do... Spar with uncle Vegeta"
"Is Briefs Vegeta really your uncle?" - Gohan laughed silently, and Leena's eyes brightened up.
"He's of our daddy's... Race"
"Race?"
"Well... They're from the same... Place. And he's so nice!"
"Briefs Vegeta, nice?!"
"Yes, Videl... Why?"
"You think that man... The most dangerous man alive is... Nice?"
"Yes... He is, at least to me"
"Really?"
"She's his little pet, and he's her little pet" - Gohan said in an amused tone. Leena blushed hard.
"Nii - chan!"
"What? It's the truth, Leena"
"Not!"
"Okay... For our birthday, he gave me a nice gi. Another one. And you... Oh, what was that...? Of course... He gave YOU a dress, boots... Wait... And a blouse, a sweater, shoes, snickers, a jacket... A whole new wardrobe, Leena!" - the girl blushed harder.
"He didn't know what to get you, nii - chan!"
"Oh, yeah... And... Wait, he gave you something else... What was that...?" - he thought for a moment, not really remembering, but then he smirked - "Oh, of course... How could I ever have forgotten... The Leena library..."
"Say what?"
"Vegeta got two HUGE rooms without use, and transformed them into an enormous library, and it was named... Ta, da... The Leena library" - the girl was REALLY blushed, in a way that was definitely not normal.
"Uncle Vegeta just..."
"Yeah, yeah... Not that I wanted a private library or anything, but just to prove my point, Lee"
"You're mean, Gohan!"
"Oh, upset? That's the only reason why you'd call me by my name, Leena..."
"Nii - chan..."
"Well, that's it for today" - the teacher said leaving. The students sighed.
"What now?" - Gohan asked to no one in particular and reading his schedule. He sighed - "Damn..."
"What?"
"English" - Leena smiled brightly.
"Yes!"
"Oh, Dende, why are you so mean...?"
"Who's Dende?" - Erasa asked, curious.
"Dende is a friend of ours"
"Oh..."
"Why do you hate English so much?"
"Old business. Leena here used to torture me"
"How?"
"Well, simply making me read every single book and play and comedy and whatever Shakespeare ever wrote. And it almost killed me"
"But they're SO nice, nii - chan! I love them, and you should too"
"Not"
"Stop that"
"I wasn't the one who started this whole thing"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was!"
"Not!"
"Ah... Shut it! If you don't, uncle Vegeta and uncle Piccolo will be mad at you for being mean to me!"
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Wow! You've really got Briefs Vegeta under control, huh, Leena?" - the girl blinked a few times.
"Well, uncle Vegeta is one of the people I love the most, and I'm sure he feels the same way. Besides that, he IS a nice person, but he doesn't like to let people know it, once he's... Uncle Vegeta"
Man, this girl is SO weird! She says Briefs Vegeta, probably the most dangerous man in the world, is nice? Come on! - Videl thought.
Classes went on (not in the mood to describe each and every one) until the last two... Physical Education (aka PE).
Gohan was a bit embarrassed due to his muscles and all, and because they were going to swin.
Kami...
He exited the changing room, wearing baggy clothes, and went towards the pool, watching the clean water...
"Hey, nii - chan, why aren't you wearing... I don't know, your bathing suit?"
"'Cause I..." - he stopped, gasping loudly, when he looked at his dear and sweet little sister.
"What?"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING, LEENA?!" - by this point, the whole class was looking at them, and they all knew what Gohan was talking about.
Leena wore a two piece dark blue bathing suit. Her body, although she was a fighter, was slim and very much feminine, not at all masculine or full of muscles and such. It was pretty obvious she was not a little girl, like Gohan still wanted to see her. Her hair, by the way, was tied in a high ponytail.
"What? Bulma and I bought this... What's wrong with it? It's a bathing suit, after all"
"How can you think wearing that is okay?"
"What do you...?"
"Leena!"
"What?"
"Leena!"
"I am wearing a bathing suit, nii - chan. What's wrong with you? Am I... THAT bad looking?" - she looked sad - "You don't think I'm even a little, tiny bit pretty, nii - chan?" - he blushed hard.
"Of course not, Leena... I mean, I don't think you're bad looking at all, Leena, but... Do you HAVE to wear stuff like that? Come on!"
"What?"
"Guys are looking at you" - he whispered. The girl blushed hard and looked at her feet.
"Oh..."
"Well, of course I knew this kind of things were over due, but... Well, I can't help acting like your big brother!"
"Eh... Nii - chan? Why don't you take those off? The teacher is coming back soon, and he'll tell you to do it anyway, so..."
"Right!" - blushing, Gohan took off his gym clothes.
"Ah! You look so nice, nii - chan!" - that only made him blush even harder.
All girls were looking at Gohan with... Lust. His mucles were obvious and very well formed. Boys were not angry with the girls, but only because they still kept looking at Leena and, obviously, her body.
"Yeah... Thanks, Leena" - Gohan said, grinning like a Son. Leena did the same, and their classmates could finally see how equal they actually were.
"All right, ladies and... Girls" - the teacher said smirking when he entered the gym. He glanced quickly at Leena, and was pretty impressed, but didn't let it show on his face - "My name, as you all should know, is Shato (*laughs*) Kevin. And the newbies are...?"
"Son Gohan and Leena, sir" - Leena said grinning sweetly.
She's the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen, Kami... What the...? No... Can't think like that! She's a student! Of course that I'm new and all, but even so...
Shato (*laughs again*) Kevin is a twenty five year old young man, with dark brown hair and intense dark green eyes. He's known for: his smirks, his nice built, his rudeness towards his male students and for his good looks.
"Ahem! I see you're all with your bathing suits, so I suggest you GET INTO THE WATER!" - he smirked - "I'm talking mainly to all of you, ladies! Girls, stand back for a moment" (by the way, for those who are just wondering: ladies=guys; girls=girls)
Growling, the boys went to the water, in groups of five. Kevin (well, once he's quite young, I find it better to call him by his first name, okay?) smirked as always, watching the 'ladies'.
"Neh, nii - chan, don't you think Shato (Man, I'll never get tired of this!!) - san is a bit harsh with the boys?"
"Yeah, I guess he is... But he's not as bad as... Well, you know who"
"Uncle Vegeta"
"Of course"
"You're so mean..."
"Humpt"
"Oh, by the way! Nii -chan, have you noticed how high Shato - san's Ki is?"
"Huh?" - Gohan concentrated on Kevin's Ki, and was pretty impressed - "Wow... You're right..."
"Yeah! It's even higher than Videl's... And hers is quite high for an average human being"
"I must agree" - he glanced quickly at Videl - "She is, indeed, quite powerful, and she's a girl..."
"Hey! I resent that!" - Leena exclaimed. The whole class, including the boys in the pool and the teacher, silenced and looked at the twins. Gohan blushed hard, easily noticing the stares - "I am very much stronger than you!"
"What?" - his Saiyan blood was burning with slight anger - "YOU are stronger than ME? Should I remind you who defeated you know who?"
"No, but I did help you. And because of me, daddy didn't die. So, ha!"
"You are not stronger than me, Leena!"
"Afraid, nii - chan?"
"Not at all, dear Lee"
"Up to no good..."
"Shut it!"
"Oh... You SO didn't tell me to shut up, now did you, nii - chan?!" - she got up and glared at Gohan, who also got up. The Saiyan blood on their veins was screaming: fight. Their Ki were rising, and becoming quite dangerous to be around with.
"Okay, you two, break it off" - said Kevin walking towards them. But... No use. The young Saiyan were almost out of control, and the young teacher could do nothing to stop that.
"Hey! What's up?" - Gohan and Leena spun their heads immediately, and their dark eyes widened at the sight. The newcomer, a handsome man with little dark dair, dark eyes, and a cross shaped scar on the cheek (I think it was on the left one, just like Kenshin). He had a nice built and a surprised look on his face.
"Yamcha" - Leena and Gohan said.
"What the... Your... Ki... No way... Gohan and... Leena?" - he trailled off. He looked at the two teens, and pretty surprised, and stunned, to see how much they'd grown, specially Leena, who was always beautiful, but now... She was a grown woman...
"Yamcha - kun!" - Leena cried, running to him, hugging him real tight. He blushed hard, and Gohan growled (oh, brotherly jealousy...).
"Leena!" - he went to them, and the girl let go of Yamcha's neck.
"Hey, what's up, man?"
"Yeah, yeah... It's been a while... Seven years..."
"Yeah, right..."
"Hey, everyone! Listen up! This, as you all should know, is Bandit Yamcha, and he'll be my partner in teaching for now on"
"How do you know each other, sir?" - asked Sharpener.
"Baseball days"
"Yamcha - kun, you're gonna be our teacher?" - Leena said brightly. He blushed harder.
"Ah... Yeah... The girls' teacher, actually" - all of the girls - noticing: except for Videl, Leena and a girl in the back - screamed excited.
"Watch your hands, Yamcha. You wouldn't want a law sue, now would you?" - Gohan mocked.
"Hey! My hands are not... Foolish as they used to be!"
"Bulma told me about that..." - Yamcha looked at Leena - "She said 'Yamcha? Ha! He's such a perverted mind! And he thinks he's the hottest guy in the whole world! I mean, okay, he was and is hot, I admit that much, but not THE hottest! When it comes to that, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan can beat him easily! Come on! And Leena, watch his hands. Very foolish. When you meet him again, you'll be a grown woman, and he'll sure try to make a move on you, so be careful. He's a persistant little one'. Now... Oh, yeah! She said that just after I last saw you, Yamcha - kun!"
"Yeah" - Yamcha said, blushed - "Damn Bulma... Gonna get her for that one..."
"But it's not totally false, Yamcha" - Gohan said, and the former baseball player glared at him - "What? I kinda remember Bulma telling me, one day, about your youth. How you used to make passes on girls, even when Bulma was kinda around"
"I did nothing of that sort!"
"Did too"
"Did not! If I had, Goku would be angry at me!"
"Daddy?" - Leena blinked, not understanding - "Why daddy?"
"'Cause... He was always with us, and he was always very protective of Bulma" - Yamcha grinned - "Well, she's kinda like his sister. Which would make her almost like your aunt. What? Isn't that why you call Vegeta 'uncle Vegeta', Leena?"
"No... That's only because daddy and he are both you know what"
"Oh, right... Well, enough of this, and let's begin with our PE class, shall we ladies?"
"Ahem, Yamcha?" - Kevin called.
"What's up, Kevin?"
"Call them girls, 'cause it'll be less confusing, okay?"
"Huh?"
"These sissies are the ladies here" - he smirked at his male students' glaring.
"Oh, okay... Got it" - he smiled - "Okay, girls, come with me to pool #2!"
It was a rather regular PE class, considering that Gohan was almost always getting the first place in every thing they did. Leena went even better - or worse - than her brother, getting the first place ALWAYS, and with ease. Yamcha kept on smiling to her.
The classes ended and Leena was the first one to get out. She saw Yamcha and Kevin talking by the pool and got closer.
"Yeah, and... Oh... Hey, Leena!" - Yamcha said, grinning.
"Huh?" - Kevin blushed slightly, seeing how gorgeous Leena looked even without her bathing suit.
"Neh, I just wanted to say good bye, Yamcha - kun, Shato (Man!) - sensei" - she bowed politely to her teacher, who smirked.
"No need for that kinda treatment, miss Son"
"Huh? But aren't you my teacher? Shouldn't I be polite towards you?"
"Well, yeah, but... What about Yamcha?" - Leena smiled and hung on the guy's arm. He blushed.
"I know him for a very long time" - she squeezed his arm - "Since I was a little girl! And so does nii - chan and everyone else! Daddy, Bulma..."
"Bulma as in... Bulma, Yamcha's only steady girlfriend ever?" - Kevin asked, smirking. Students started to come out of the changing rooms - "See you later, ladies, girls!"
"Bye!" - Yamcha said.
"Bulma? You know Bulma, Shato - sensei?" - Leena asked, not letting the subject drop.
"No, not really... But Yamcha used to talk a lot about her, specially when he was a player"
"How did you know him, sensei?"
"Well, my father was a player, so... I got to know the other players in my father's team"
"Oh... Yeah, I thought it'd be something like that. There was no way someone so young could ever have been a player with Yamcha - kun! Not that you're old, Yamcha - kun, but Shato - sensei is very, very young... Around... Twenty one?"
"I'm twenty five, actually"
"Oh... Not so old! Just... Hum... Seven years older than nii - chan and me... Ah! Nii - chan!" - she got away from Yamcha and went to her brother, hugging him tight. He blushed, once Sharpener, Videl and Erasa were near him - "Neh, nii - chan, how about a chocolate ice cream now? And we could take some home! Daddy would love some! And Trunks, Goten, uncle Vegeta, Bulma, Mr. Briefs... Please, nii - chan! Please, please, pretty please? I promise I'll make it up to you! Okay, how about..." - she thought for a quick moment - "I'll buy you a nice gi! How about it? A... Dark blue one, just like the one uncle Vegeta ruined last weekend! Please...?"
"No need to... Beg, Leena" - Gohan said sweatdropping and grinning - "We'll go, and buy whatever you want to. I mean, that's why Bulma gave each of us an IC"
"What does 'IC' stand for?" - Videl asked.
"Infinite credits" - Leena replied, smiling.
"What...?"
"Bulma said we'd need A LOT of credits someday, so she gave it to us right when we moved to CC. Of course that nii - chan almost never uses it because he almost never goes out, and when I do, I always go with Bulma, and she ends up paying for everything, but anyway..."
"Bulma gave you an IC?" - Yamcha asked.
"Yes"
"Man... She must really like you..."
"She does, I think"
"She likes Leena" - Gohan said, smirking truly evil - "And so does Vegeta... He gives her THE best presents in the whole world!"
"Nii - chan!" - Leena exclaimed, very blushed - "You are not nice to uncle Vegeta, so that's why he's not nice to you!"
"Oh, even if I tried to be nice to him, he'd punch me and call me a sissy and all, and we'd start a fight, Leena. You're a girl, the only girl that has ever tried to be... Sweet to him, and that includes Bulma! Not even she is as sweet and nice and... Loving as you are towards Vegeta"
"He's nice, no matter what others say, nii - chan!"
"He's not nice! He's evil!"
"No... Evil is someone who cares for no one at all, and uncle Vegeta cares..."
"For himself and you!"
"Gohan!"
"Ha! You're all angry now, huh?"
"Gohan... I don't really think it's a good idea to make Leena THIS mad, or mad at all" - Yamcha warned, fear in his eyes - "You DO remember what she can do and does when she's... Pissed, right?" - Gohan paled and lost his smirk.
"Crap. Okay... Leena, I was only joking, okay? Will you please, please be nice and settle down, you know? You can't get mad... Specially here"
No use... Leena was almost losing it... Her eyes flicked sky blue once, but so fast that only Yamcha and Gohan saw it. Well...
No way... This girl is... Powerful... And her eyes... - Kevin thought.
And then, Leena calmed down at once. But only because she felt a familiar Ki approaching. She smiled brightly and ran to the doors of the gym. As soon as they were opened, she started hugging and hanging on the person's neck. Who, exactly? Well, Vegeta...
"Leena..." - he said, embarrassed and blushing madly - "Eh... Brat, Leena, Bulma told me to eh... Take you home. Something about... That you're new around and whatever..." - he kept on blushing, with Leena smiling brightly at him.
"Uncle Vegeta! Let's buy ice cream? Please, please?" - she was still hugging him, and her plea only made him blush more deeply. The ones around them, watching the scene, were not laughing, but only because they knew for sure they'd die if they did so.
"Eh... Alright, Leena" - she smiled like a little kid and kissed him on the cheek. Man... Deep crimson or something darker...
"You're very nice, uncle Vegeta!" - she cried, happily. But only a moment after, she glared at Gohan, making everyone who saw that look, become nervous and aprehensive - "And you're not, Gohan" - she said, coldly. She turned once again to Vegeta, who kept silent - "Uncle Vegeta, come on! I'm sure Gohan can get home by himself, so let's go buy that ice cream ourselves, please?"
"Whatever. Gohan, don't be late. Spar today, before and after dinner. Be late and even Kakarot will wanna kick you for your lateness" - Vegeta said, smirking. He looked to Leena and blushed hard again - "Let's go, then, Leena" - she smiled sweetly and the two went away.
"Your sister is kinda... Scary" - Sharpener commented. Gohan gulped.
"You have NO idea, Sharpener... No idea at all... Leena is... She's even worse than mom was"
"Chi Chi wasn't THAT mean" - Yamcha said - "I mean... She was only... Strict. But... Leena..." - he paused for a moment - "She's one of a kind. And by that I mean a very perfect mix between Goku and Chi Chi. In other words: dangerous and..." - he paused again, looking carefully at his students - "Powerful"
"Yeah" - Videl agreed - "She makes Briefs Vegeta blush and all. And... He's THE most dangerous man alive, and she's... Just a girl..."
"Oh, but Leena is no 'just a girl', Videl" - Gohan stated - "She's... Special"
"She's always been" - Yamcha completed.
Special... I agree with it... - Kevin thought - But... Yamcha is right... She's quite powerful, indeed. And... What was that color in her eyes? Sky blue... So... Gorgeous... Like her... Son Leena... She's perfect all the way... Crap! No, don't fall for a student! NO!
It was a rather interesting first day, indeed it was but, of course: it would not be the last.
___________________________________________________________________
Quick note: by the way, "Shato" is written like "Chato", a word in Portuguese that means (when it comes to use it as an adjective) boring, or annoying, or unconfortable, or, sometimes, awkward. And Kevin is quite annoying sometimes, huh?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's a rather great joy for me when I open my Mail Box and find myself reading a review... I think I said something about... I don't know, how I wanted to get at least one review in order to have something to write under my next chapter - this one. Oh, and what a joy it was to find myself reading my very first flame... Anger obviously rose in me, but once I opened Word and started writing... Oh, what a relieve it was! But, of course, it was only after I calmed myself for a few moments, while waiting for the computer to re-start... So, here we go:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Vegetto: What to say to you? I highly doubt you're gonna read my dear fic again, therefore, you'll probably not gonna be reading this at any moment what so ever, but anyway, let's get to it, okay? Hum... Let's go through your review, to start with a good respond:
"Ugh. Just what we need, another crappy Mary Sue story. Not to mention how crappy the writing was. Write something worth reading, instead of wasting everyone's time."
Oh, so sweet! Just like the actual Vegetta... Now, let's go by parts:
"Mary Sue story" - I'm not very into this kind of fic language (or whatever it is), but I'm supposing it's a simple expression to compare a character to Reese Witherspoon's character in Pleasantville, correct? Oh, yeah... I might sound like an idiot *you agrees happily like a little Santa's elf*, but I really don't get this kind of expression and such. Oh, and just so we're clear: by Mary Sue, people - and you, in this case - mean "pretty face, nothing - or almost nothing - inside"?
"how crappy the writing was" - Thank you very much, Vegetto! Your a real sunshine in hell, aren't you just? Hey, if the writing bothers you THAT much that you can't even stand reading the whole damn thing, then don't! And what are you talking about? Didn't get AGAIN. My writing sucks. Okay, I can deal with that, 'cause I do know I'm not a very good writer anyway (I'm not a conceited little one), but which aspect of my writing you're talking about? I haven't had that many classes about how to write, so I can only split the writing in two parts: grammar/spelling and writing style. So... Which one? Yeah maybe - and most likely - my writing is not perfect, I know it's not, but it's because I'm not used to writing IN ENGLISH, due to the main fact that I do not live in an English speaking country, therefore, mistakes can and will be found, and I did warm about it at the very begining. And my style... I don't know what you didn't like... Can't explain my style FOR THIS PARTICULAR FIC (that because I usually change the way I write - slightly - in each one of my stories) 'cause it's not quite easy to do such a thing. Oh, just remembered something... You didn't like the way I write, you know... With no twists or stupid/strange/weird things going on, or maybe because I write too damn correctly, with basically no swearing, or maybe the choice of words? Tell me, oh dear, tell me, please!
"Write something worth reading, instead of wasting everyone's time" - I'm very sorry... But do you represent the whole mass of people that have acess to a computer with acess to the Net? I swear I didn't know! If I did, I'd have made sure I'd destroyed my computer and went to live in a far away place, with no acess to technology greater than a bicycle *you: smirkes and agrees chanting around everyone like a cute little blondie fairy* Everyone can say what the hell they want, and write whatever they feel like it, and I'm a person, so... I write whatever I feel like it! And, besides, can you actually say no one in the whole world will ever like my fic? I mean, be a little human - with feelings, if possible -, and give me a straight forward answer! Too bad I can't even be sure you're reading this at any point of your life. I mean, it must be very hard to read a fic you couldn't care less for, with all that elf's work, plus the whole chanting with the other cute little blondie fairies, I suppose... Oh, well... Gotta be glad I'm calmer now and was actually able to write so many things as a reply to your review/flame without even using, not even one little time, "fuck you", "screw you", "go to hell" and such when refering to you. Oh, and I might be wrong, but reading your review/flame now, once again, I feel like you're not such a badass/jerk/imbecile/full of crap/idiot/asshole/moron (these are basically my favorite name calling) after all. Oh, and, if you're reading this - still -, could you answer all of my questions above sometime? I'd really like that. And, by the way, if anyone reading this knows how to reach Vegetto, could you please do me a small favour? Tell him (?) to read this "little" note, written speacially to see if he gets that his words don't really have such a great impact, and that, most importantly, they don't always get through people's "thick skulls"...
Final note to Vegetto: how can you be such a *pause for name calling* if you haven't at least posted anything out of "that"? (I mean the poem, for those who don't know about Vegetto's only thing posted here in fanfiction.net) Post more and then go around flaming, okay? Just saying... Oh, and I'm only curious: is there ANY fic AT ALL that you've EVER liked? 'Cause I did check, and you had no Favorite Authors/Stories, so... Have you ever? If not... That's pretty sad. And, by the way, just so you know, this was not a very large *ahem* polite reply, considering my past... And it's in English... Damn... You should see what I write when I wanna respond to someone's flame... But in my dear native language, of course... *you: What is it? Badwritersh?* Oh, God... Forgot one little thing! *Ahem* IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FIC, DON'T READ IT, AND CERTAINLY DO NOT REVIEW IT, FLAMING IT! JUST LOOK AWAY, AND DON'T BE... YOU! *you: chantes with Santa, his elfs, and your friends, the other cute blondie fairies*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This is for everyone - not only Vegetto: Isn't a fic supposed to be a hobbie? Then why people need to be mean? Oh, yes, Vegetto, I'm a sensitive little one and whatever, but it's true! A hobbie is not meant to be mocked or anything, is it? (am I the kind of person that likes to gives moral lessons? Not at all, but I do have it in me, somewhere... People's influence...)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hotaru: Valeu! Bem, eu já te respondi via e-mail, então aqui só agradecerei o seu review, mais uma vez! *bow*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Julia and Tania: Man... This was one big review... I don't really remember how many reviews this big I've gotten so far, but they aren't that many reviews in my reviews file either, though... *sweatdrop*
Oh, it's maybe because my brain doesn't really get some things when I'm kinda tired - like when I read your review -, but there are things I didn't understand... But I did like the fact that you said I didn't make that many mistakes along the way! It's something that actually ALWAYS bothers me, writing in English or not. Eh... Yeah, I don't really have many fics in English - in the writing process, I mean -, but it's only because I'm a bit busy with my other fics, that are kinda more important to me... Specially because my fics in English are mostly plotless *swreatdrop* and not very interesting (in my sincere opinion). *Ahem* But anyway, I REALLY liked your review, so let's clear some of the points you pointed (this sounded weird...):
Well... I chose Romance/General simply because... It's a romance! Well, I'm not very good *sweatdrop* Okay, I'm not good AT ALL with action scenes and such, therefore, I cannot write those kinda scenes (and you two DO understand that when I say "action scenes" I mean fighting scenes and such, right?). I'm actually good *ahem* better with romance scenes, 'cause they are MUCH easier - at least in my opinion. Which is why basically ALL of my fics are romances! *sweatdrop* About "complecity"... I don't really think ANY of my fics/originals are complex at any point, but that's only because I know and understand the world around my characters in a way a simple readers would never (I refering here to my AU fics and originals)... And, well... To be honest, I think ALL of my stories - fics and originals - are rather confusing. Yes, confusing. Why? *sweatdrop* 'Cause sometimes I make things happen, stranger and weird and non-sense things, actually. But... Okay, okay... Complexity... After you read this chapter, I'm kinda 90% sure you'll wonder about Leena's relantionship with someone... Who? Well, actually, there are two possibilities (obvious ones): Dende and Kevin. Of course that with Dende, it's WAY too obvious, and easy, so I'm thinking of making this a Leena/Kevin. Why? 'Cause he's young, yes, but not young enough for a seventeen year old like Leena... And I'm just picturing... Vegeta (aka uncle Vegeta) having to control himself... 'Cause he'll wanna commit murder... Obviously, he's gonna want to rip a certain teacher's head off... And about Gohan... Of course he also needs a girl! And I put her in this chapter, actually. But her name didn't appear, nor did her appearance... (she's the girl that didn't start making a scene - Videl, Leena and this girl - when Yamcha appeared) That's because, as I said on the top, I REALLY don't like V/G, so... Gotta make up another girl for Leena's nii-chan... She's gotta be an interesting little one... Tough, maybe... Sweet, only on the inside *laughs*
Oh, but there was something I didn't quite understand: "feel". What does it mean? *starts to get desperate* I can't get it! "Sleeping Beauty feel", is that it? *sweatdrop* Still didn't get it... Maybe it's the way I make everything sweet and cute? Well, that's my "gift"... Make basically ANYTHING sweet and cute... (even a reply to a flame) Hum... It's my whole "romance policy", and the fact that I used to ADORE fairy tales when I was little... (and still kinda do...) But I promise I'll start trying to change the "feel", and make it... What? That's something you either didn't mention or I didn't understand... Make it what? Rough? *bangs head against the computer screen* More dramatic, maybe?! *grins* That's something I think I might actually be able to do. And, just wait... IF I actually put Leena and Kevin together, I'll make sure they suffer *ahem* to see if they actually love each other... And... In chapter 03, there's this guy that comes on to Leena quickly... I could make him appear again... And I know how, where and why... (hint: when you read - if you do - chapter 03, check out his EYES! They're pretty like this other character's...)
Oh! And about "letting characters judge Leena's appearance". In this chapter, the characters mention Leena's appearance three times as gorgeous... That's good, right? And... liked your review! It was no flame at all! It was not THAT helpful 'cause I had trouble understading it perfectly, but it was not at all offensive! (just read Vegetto's...)
Again, thank you for the review" *bows*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Note: These thanks are a bit long, huh? *Sweatdrops* What is a girl to do? (I'm a girl, by the way - if I hadn't mentioned this before and if people hadn't figured it out). Oh, and for whoever is reading this: I'll be a little long before I deliver the third chapter, due to my other stories and stuff... At least I'm in vacation, so...

Hello! There I was, again, thinking of a Dragon Ball Z story I could eventually write. Here it is! Gohan has a twin sister... Strong and gorgeous! They are going to high school... And... There are tragedies that came into their lives...
PS: Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes along the way.
PS2: Hum... Not sure about making Videl and Gohan a couple... It's just that... I never REALLY saw sparks flying between them, so I don't really consider them to be a good couple to work with. Sorry for the G/V lovers.
PS3: Romance... I need to get Leena (Gohan's sister) a good and nice guy... Hum...
PS4: Ocasional and light swearing.

Chapter 002: Meeting new people
Son Gohan and Leena... New students... At OSH - Orange Star High -, a high school located in... Satan City...
"Why, Bulma?" - Gohan asked one more time. The older woman sighed irritated - "And why did you agree on this so fast, Leena?"
"Because, nii - chan. Just because" - Leena replied, smiling.
"Oh, come on! It's not like we actually need it!"
"Mom told me to make sure her three kids were always studying hard. And I will, nii - chan"
"But...!"
"No 'buts', dear Gohan. No, no! We're going to OSH starting tomorrow. Which DOES remind me... We gotta take the tests today after we... Uh... Register"
"Leena!"
"Nii - chan, must I remind you that I can freeze you and simply MAKE you come with me? Or... No... Can't freeze you... You gotta take the test... Well, in that case, I can still ask uncle Vegeta to MAKE you come... And you know how uncle Vegeta is so nice to me, don't you? He always does what I ask him to" - Gohan gulped.
"You're meaner than Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks together" - he said.
"Oh, that's not nice, nii - chan! Bulma is very nice, and so is Trunks! And uncle Vegeta is one of the nicest people in the universe!" - Vegeta, coming in and obviously listening to the conversation, blushed deeply. Bulma, seeing this, giggled.
"What is going on?" - he said. Leena, brighting up and opening a huge smile, ran to him and hugged him tight, as she always did. He blushed harder - "Eh... Leena?"
"Yes, uncle Vegeta?" - she had stars in her eyes, and the Saiyan Prince simply couldn't make her sad by telling her to stay away. Oh, boy...
"Whatever. Brat, Leena, let's go already" - Leena smiled, but Gohan seemed confused.
"Go... Where?"
"Haven't told them yet, Bulma?"
"Of course I have, Vegeta, but Gohan kept telling he didn't want to go to school, so I forgot to tell him you were going to take them there"
"Say what again?"
"Oh, Gohan... Please? Vegeta is more... Sutable for this. I can't go, and Goku... Well, he's going too, so..."
"Dad is going too?"
"Of course! He is, after all, your father, Gohan!"
"Yeah, of course he is, but even so..."
"Hey, you guys're ready?" - Goku asked coming in the room. Vegeta sighed and Leena ran to her father, kissing him on the cheek.
"If Gohan stops with the stupidity, then yeah" - Vegeta growled.
"Okay, okay! Kami..."
Soon enough, Son Goku, Gohan and Leena, plus Briefs Vegeta left the Capsule Corp. To Satan City... To the OSH...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The four strangers to the Satan City arrived in the former Orange Star City, home of the so called World Champion, which was a clear and very obvious joke to all of the Z fighters and friends.
Leena looked hapily around her, hanging onto Vegeta's arm. Goku was pretty much like Leena, but Gohan looked pretty bored. And none of them seemed to notice the many and many lustful looks people were sending them.
They finally reached OSH. Fortunately for them, it was not yet the end of the school day, so the students were nowhere to be seen.
"Isn't this just the prettiest place we could go to, nii - chan?" - Leena said cheerfully. Gohan rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Uncle Vegeta, what to you think of this place?"
"This is what you call a school?"
"Yes"
"Not that bad, considering what my schools were like"
"Oh, yeah... Daddy?"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think this is a nice school?"
"Yeah... I guess it is..."
"And we are going to be here everyday starting tomorrow..." - Gohan looked almost... Disgusted.
"Finally!" - he said when they got to the school's office. The secretary quickly took Leena and Gohan to a private room, where they'd take their entrance exams.
"Nervous, nii - chan?"
"No... You?" - he looked surprised at her. Leena... Nervous?
"A little... And... Scared..."
"Why?"
"'Cause... We've never been around people our age before... Just... Well... Friends of daddy..."
"Yeah... I know... But we... You'll do okay, Leena. I know that for sure"
"Oh, so are you, nii - chan"
"Thanks" - as they finished their quick conversation, the secretary entered the room and handed them their tests and a pen, then sat in front of them and they started.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay... Already?" - thirty minutes... That's how long the Son twins took to finish their exams. Strangely, they finished right at the same moment. The secretary couldn't believe it! Half an hour! Most took almost four to seven hours!
They left the small room and the secretary left the two Sons to Goku and Vegeta. She went to the so called Score Machine, where a test could be put and then, the results of it would come out right away, no long waiting periods required.
"How did you do?" - asked Goku grinning.
"Okay, I guess" - Gohan said.
"Yeah. It was easy enough" - Leena said already on Vegeta's arm.
They waited for about three minutes until the secretary came to them. Boy, did she look... Surprised
"Perfect" - she said.
"What is?" - Leena asked.
"Your... Scores... Perfect. 100%"
"Really? Oh, that's so good, isn't it, nii - chan?"
"Yeah"
"Well, I... I'm sorry, I need your names and..." - they gave her all of their info and they were soon out of there.
"I don't know where you two got so much smartness from" - Vegeta commented - "Don't know about your mother, but Kakarot... Not possible that you got that from him"
"Hey! Take that back!"
"Not gonna happen"
"Daddy, uncle Vegeta, come on, don't fight!" - Leena said. She finally noticed there were quite a number of students looking at them. She smiled nicely - "There are so many students here!"
"Of course, Leena. What did you think? It's a big city, and this is their only school" - Gohan said rolling his eyes, a bit annoyed by the looks he was finally noticing.
"It is?" - Leena said innocently.
"Yeah..."
"Ah..."
"Kami, let's go already!" - Vegeta growled, very annoyed by the students staring at them.
"Shouldn't we..."
"No, Leena, come on!" - and with that, the foursome left OSH in a blink of eyes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Nii - chan! Nee - chan!" - little Goten, a Goku miniature, cried - "You can't go to school!"
"Oh, yes we do, Goten" - Leena said sweetly, yet firm - "We must have a... Good education outside of home as well" - Think I'll keep to myself mommy's words... 'Don't forget to get a life, honey!'
"But... I'll be all alone..."
"What about daddy?"
"Oh... Yeah! Daddy!" - little Goten stopped crying and ran to his father, eating an enormous sandwich with Gohan and Vegeta (each with their own sandwich). Leena sighed relieved.
"What is... It... Goten?" - Goku asked between bites.
"You're gonna stay home, won't you?"
"Huh?"
"You won't go anywhere like nii - chan and nee - chan, are you?"
"No, I sure won't, little one" - he split his sandwich in two (that's love!) and gave one half to Goten - "Eat up, Goten!"
"Thank you, daddy!" - he sat on the table and started eating.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Did you like the school, Leena?" - Bulma asked when the girl entered the lab. Leena went to Bulma's side.
"A lot! It's so pretty there!"
"Really? You know, I went there..."
"You did?"
"Yes. There's actually a lab there, a Science lab, named after me"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Oh, you're so good, Bulma!" - the older woman blushed.
Man, she sure knows how to make someone blush
"Yeah... Thanks. So... Is Gohan more up to it?"
"Not really. He's a little cranky..."
"As usual"
"Yeah, I know..." - Leena caught the capsule flying from Mr. Briefs's hand and smiled - "Is this that new car?"
"Well, yes, Leena" - he said sweetly. Leena went to him, handed him the capsule and took Blackie (what's that cat's name, anyway? Well, I'll call him 'Blackie' whenever he shows up, okay?) from his shoulder. It yawned and brushed its head against the girl's face. She giggled.
"It's amazing..."
"What is, sir?" - Leena asked caressing the cat.
"You're the only one Blackie ever lets himself get caught by, besides me"
"Oh... Well... I like you too, Blackie!" - the cat yawned again and seemed to smile.
"Oh, yes! Would you help me a bit, Leena?"
"With what?" - she put Blackie back to Mr. Briefs's shoulder.
"The design of this engine is okay, I guess, but... There's something missing... Would you care to help me?"
"Of course, sir! Do you have a pencil?"
The girl is good... Maybe... She could be even better than Bulma, and my daughter is a genius! Gohan is good too, but he doesn't spend as much time here as Leena. Oh, she's a blessing... And she's gorgeous...
"How about this, sir?" - Leena asked after five minutes. Mr. Briefs snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the design. He smiled.
"That's just it, Leena! Very, very, very good, girl!"
"Thank you, sir" - she put the pencil down - "Now... What are you gonna name it? Does it have a name already?"
She helps me and Bulma since she and her family came here... She designed so many and many and many things... And... Hum...
"Well, no, it doesn't have a name, yet. We're kinda still working on it... Aren't we, Bulma?"
"What?"
"Do we have a name for this car over here"
"Not really. We have suggestions, but nothing conclusive. Why? Did you have a good idea, dad?"
"I think so... Just need your approval" - he went to her and whispered on her ear - "How about... Son Leena?"
"What?"
"She helps us a lot" - he continued, still whispering. Leena was entertaining herself playing wih Blackie, which flew from Mr. Briefs shoulder moments before - "And for years and years"
"You're right... But... In that case..."
"What?"
"Give her name to a car is nothing. And, besides, Gohan helps us too. Unfair to do this to him"
"Yes, I suppose you're right... Then what?"
"How about... The Son collection?"
"What?"
"That collection of cars and stuff... We're going to release the names of the items and the collection Friday, in just three days... How about it?"
"Very good, Bulma! I'm sure that at least Leena will like it very much. I mean, Goku and Goten won't even notice it, and Gohan will probably hate it, but Leena..."
"What did I do?" - she asked.
"Did you... Hear anything else?" - Bulma asked, cautiously.
"No... Only my name. What is it?" - she was childish indeed, sometimes.
"Oh, no... Nothing at all, Leena. We were simply..."
"We can't tell. It'll ruin the great surprise, honey!" - Leena frowned - "What is it, Leena?"
"Could you... Not call me that, Bulma?" - she said silently.
"Sure... But... Why?"
"Mommy called me that..."
"Kami... I'm so... So sorry, Leena..." - she hugged the girl.
"It's okay, Bulma. Really" - she opened a Son smile.
Leena... You're the strong one in the Son family... Even more than Chi Chi... You never cried... Not for anyone... Ever... Not once I heard, I saw you crying over anyone or anything... You're the strong one... And that's hard... It's the worst and hardest job in the world... Oh, Leena...
"Well... Oh, Leena, dear!"
"What?"
"What are you going to wear tomorrow?"
"I almost forgot!"
"Designs..." - Mr. Briefs said quickly before they ran off through the doors. They nodded.
"Yeah... After dinner, Leena?"
"Yes, please, Bulma!"
Bulma finally found someone to share her passion for clothes with... Dende, help us
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning started early. Around six thirty (okay... Maybe it's not THAT early, but, okay).
"Good morning!" - said Leena smiling brightly and fixing her hair bow.
"Good morning, dear" - Bulma said. She and her father were already by the table, and so was Gohan. Leena sat down and yawned.
"It's going to be a very good day...!" - she chanted cheerfully. Gohan looked at her almost... Disgusted by her happiness so early in the morning. And to go to school!
"Please, Leena. I'm not in the mood for this"
"What?"
"Your... Chanting and happy giggling"
"I am not giggling, nii - chan"
"That's all I hear"
"That may be... But I am most certainly happy today! I am going to school for the first time after all... And so are you, nii - chan! You should be happy too"
"I'm not! I didn't want to go to school, Leena!"
"Yeah, yeah" - she put a few strawberries on her pancakes - "Well, you don't have a say on this"
"This what?"
"Your studies, my studies and Goten's studies"
"And why is that?"
"Mommy made sure I'd take care of this matter, and only I, and that is exactly what I am going to do, got that?"
"Okay, okay... Kami..."
"Oh, no! None of that!"
"What did I do?"
"No praying to Dende asking for some sort of natural disaster, hear me? 'Cause if anything of that sort happens..." - she looked up - "I WILL MAKE SURE WE NO LONGER HAVE A KAMI CALLED DENDE! I WILL MAKE SURE KAMI IS CALLED MR. POPO INSTEAD!"
"Leena..." - Gohan tried to say, sweatdropping a little.
"Did you hear me, Dende? I know you did, so answer me back, otherwise..."
//I'm here, I'm here!// - Dende's voice could be heard.
"Ha! Now, you did hear me, right?"
//Loud and clear, Leena//
"Good"
//I won't hear a thing Gohan says about that new school of yours or anything about me causing natural disasters to keep you from going there and get a good education, although... You really don't need it//
"Yeah, but mommy..."
//I know, Leena. Oh, well... Gotta go. Things in Brazil to take care of... And something in Africa too... Well, come visit, okay?//
"Consider it done, Dende! I'll go... We'll go on Saturday. How's that?"
//Sounds good enough for me. Bye, everyone!//
"Bye!" - they all said, except for Gohan, who only growled, annoyed.
"Nii - chan!"
"Don't do that again!"
"Do what?"
"Use your... Influence over Dende and use it against me!"
"Whatever do you mean, nii - chan?"
"Leena..."
"What?"
"You'll never, ever change, will you ever?"
"Not really"
"Great"
"What time is it?"
"Time to go" - Bulma said.
"Seven five... Let's go, nii - chan"
"What? Why?"
"I don't want to be late, got that?"
"Okay..."
Soon, they were out of Capsule Corp, and heading to Satan City, the city right next to the one they'd been living for the last seven years, the West City.
After easy thirty minutes or so, they got to OSH. They went to the office talking to each other, not even noticing the many, many, many and many stares. And not because they were new...
"Oh, hello. Good morning" - said the secretary sweetly. She was much younger than the one they met the day before - "How may I help you?"
"We're new" - Gohan said.
"We took the entrance exams yesterday, and..."
"Oh, so you're the Son twins..."
"Yes, we are"
"The Principal would like to have a word or two with you"
"Sure..." - they were led to the Principal's office.
"Mister and miss Son" - the Principal said after they sat and the young secretary left - "I hear good things about you two"
"Like what, sir?" - Leena asked smiling.
"Like... Well, your entrance exams' scores"
"Oh..."
"Yes. The only person to ever get 100% on the entrance exams is..."
"Briefs Bulma?"
"Well, yes. I was actually a teacher here, and I was very impressed with that. But now..."
"We hope we can live up to your... Expectations, sir" - Leena said ever so polite. Gohan almost rolled his eyes, but didn't.
"Oh, that's so nice to hear, miss Son"
"I'm Leena, sir, and my nii - chan is Gohan"
"Oh, alright, then"
"Are we excused?"
"Well, yes, of course you are" - Leena and Gohan got up - "Have a good first day"
"Thank you, sir"
They left the Principal's office. They met up with the young secretary, who smiled to them.
"Hey, you two! Schedules here. Same to you two, as you requested"
"Thank you very much"
The twins walked side by side smiling to each other, Gohan a little uneasy due to the fact he was actually noticing the stares people were giving them and, specially, the stares and drooling towards Leena.
Who the hell do they think they are, looking so... Lustful at my dear and precious little sister? Chill, Gohan... Don't kill anyone...
"Neh, nii - chan!"
"What?"
"You weren't listening to me? Ah!" - she punched him on the arm, and it actually hurt!
How did she get so damn strong? She doesn't train as much as I do... Come on! Dende, why are you mean to me? I know you have a crush on Leena, but come on!
//I don't have a crush on her!//
"Huh?"
"What's wrong, nii - chan?"
"I thought... Oh..." - he smirked - //You do...//
//Do not!//
//Oh, but you do, dear friend//
//Ah! Stop that, Gohan!//
//Nope. You let them, as in Bulma and Leena, drag me to high school. Not nice. I'm gonna SCREAM to the whole world, and you know I can, that you are totally and madly in love with my little sis//
//What are you saying, Gohan!?//
"Nii - chan, why are you being so mean to Dende?"
"What? How did you...?"
"I heard him scream. I wouldn't be very surprised if even 'they' heard him" - she motioned to the other students.
"Yeah, well... I was only saying some things I know for sure as truths, but he denies it"
//'Cause they are not truths!//
//Hey, Dende?//
//Yes?//
//Leena heard you screaming at me//
//She... Did?//
//Oh, yeah//
//Damn...//
//Don't worry... She doesn't think less of you, Dende. Just, maybe, that you're pretty... Loud//
//I don't care about what Leena thinks of me!//
//Oh, you don't?//
//Huh? AH! Leena!//
//Yeah, it's me! You don't care about my oppinion, is that it?//
//No, no, Leena! Of course not! Come on, let me explain...!//
//Hey, Kami, don't you have a whole world to take care of?//
//Huh? Oh...//
//Yeah! But I still love ya!//
*Deep blush* - //Oh... Yeah... Hum... Gotta go, bye!//
"Huh? Dende is weird sometimes..."
"He sure is. Maybe it's a Namekusei characteristic... Piccolo - sama is weird too, sometimes..."
"But he's relly nice!"
"Yeah..." - Gohan replied, sweatdropping - Man, she just has the weirdest taste! There's Piccolo - sama, who she loves, but there's Vegeta, who she seems to adore and love more than dad and me! Man...
"We're here, Gohan" - she blushed and looked at him - "Nervous?"
"Not much. You are, though"
"Yeah..." - she knocked lightly on the door a few times. It opened soon enough.
"Oh, the new students" - the old teacher said after opening the door - "Class, we have two new students. They are siblings... Well, actually, twins. They got perfect scores on their entrance exams, so learn from them"
"Two nerds. Probably with horrible clothes and... Glasses and..." - the boy with long blond hair stopped suddenly when he set his eyes on Leena. His jaw, just like all of the other jaws in the class, boys and girls, fell while gaping at the two new students.
(Okay... Let's see what they are wearing, shall we?)
Leena was wearing a plain blue skirt that went until the middle of her thighs, and a white sleeveless shirt. Her hair was tied in a loose braid (not exactly a braid... It doesn't use three parts of the hair, but only two... Kinda... No, exactly like Mutsumi's hair in 'Love Hina'), hanging on her shoulder. On her feet, nice white boots, very low.
Gohan, oh Gohan... He was wearing a black turtle neck, plain black pants, a black leather jacket and black shoes as well. Matched his spiky black hair perfectly. His built was not totally showing off, but it was not very hidden either (Gohan's look by Bulma and Leena!)
Whispers all around the class... The two young Saiyans caught a few.
"Look at her body... So... Kami!"
"Oh Kami! He has some built... Wow!"
"How can Kami be so damn nice?"
"She's so Kami damn hot!"
Gohan and Leena blushed very hard, listening to such comments.
"Well, would you please introduce yourselves?" - the teacher asked.
"Hello, good morning and nice to meet you" - Leena blushed harder - "My name is Son Leena, and... I like to go shopping and to help my friend and her father with some... Designs. Oh, and I like to watch my nii - chan, my father and my uncle sparing"
"Eh... My name is Son Gohan. Nice meeting you all. I... I like reading a nice book once in a while, although I don't usually have the time to do so, I like helping my friend and her father designing some stuff, but that's only rarely, and I spend most of my time sparing with my father and my... Uh... Uncle"
"That's quite interesting, mister and miss Son. Well... Now... Where should you two sit...?"
"Together, please" - Leena said nervously. The teacher smiled to her and nodded.
"Yes... Together... Let's see..."
"Here, sir!" - a girl said standing up. She had short blond hair.
"Okay, please, you two, go and sit there" - they nodded and walked calmly to their seats.
"Hi! I'm Erasa!"
"Call me Leena and call nii - chan Gohan" - Leena said smiling brightly. Gohan growled very low and rolled his eyes when he saw what the teacher was writing on the board.
"Look at that, Leena"
"What?" - she looked at the board and giggled - "Oh... Is he serious?"
"I think he is" - Gohan kinda giggled too.
"Why are you laughing?" - Erasa asked curious - "That's pretty hard"
"It's just that... That's what we learned when we were eight or so"
"Wow!"
"Mommy sure was mean about it"
"Oh, yeah" - Gohan smiled at the memory of his mother - "But so are you" - he murmured, knowing perfectly well Leena would be able to hear him.
"What?"
"Nothing at all, Lee"
"When you call me that, you're up to no good"
"I resent that, dear little sister"
"And even worse when you call me that too!"
"Hey, I..." - suddenly, the door opened to reveal a brunete looking tired. Her hair was tied in two pigtails.
"I'm sorry, sir!" - she said entering.
"It's quite alright, Videl. Now, please, go to your seat. And, oh, we have two new students. There're sitting near you, so introduce yourself, okay?" - the girl ran the stairs and sat between Erasa and the blond guy. She looked at Leena and Gohan, who talked to each other, not really noticing her.
"Huh... Leena, Gohan?" - Erasa called the twins. They turned at the same moment, kinda startling her.
"Yes?" - they both said in unison - "Did you call, Erasa?"
"Yeah... This is my friend, Satan Videl, daughter of Mr. Satan, the world champion and the savior of the world!" - Videl expected them to shout and try to be friends with her, but they simply nodded, Leena seeming a bit taken aback - "Eh... Did you hear me?"
"Yeah, we did" - Leena said not smiling, but then she opened a shy and friendly one - "Nice meeting you, Videl. I'm Son Leena, and my nii - chan is Gohan"
"Hi!"
Man, he's hot!
"By the way, Erasa, thanks for not introducing me" - the blond guy said.
"Oops, sorry, Sharpener! Hey, Leena, Gohan, that one is another friend of ours: Sharpener"
"Hey there, cutie"
"Hello, Sharpener"
If he tries anything, I'll kill his sorry ass. No one messes with Leena, specially when I'm around - "Hey"
"Hey, Leena, where do you guys live?" - Erasa asked.
"In the West City"
"Oh... Where? We could visit you guys someday, right?"
"Sure! Not that there'd be anyone to say 'no' to that... Well... Of course that with daddy, uncle Vegeta, nii - chan, Trunks and Goten fighting outside of the GR, well... And Bulma with her eventual weird inventions... Remember that little red robot, nii - chan?"
"The devil #3?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh, that day was hell on Earth... And we started fighting outside of the GR... Man... That was a good day, though"
"Easy for you to say. You weren't the one trying not to kill one of the people you love the most"
"Oh, why would you ever need to kill any of us, Lee?"
"Up to no good..." - she chanted.
"Am not"
"Not in the mood for this"
"Eh... Did you say... Vegeta, Trunks and... Bulma? As in... The members of the Briefs family?" - Videl asked. Gohan sweatdropped nervously.
"Yes... We live there since... Well, since Goten, our little brother, was born... Seven years ago"
"You actually live at the Capsule Corp with the Briefs?"
"Wait... So... When you said you helped a friend of yours and her father... You meant..." - Erasa started.
"Yes, Bulma and Mr. Briefs. They're really nice, and once we never had much to do, specially me, they always let me give them a hand... It's quite nice, actually. I like it" - the girl set her eyes back to wathever it was that she was doing on her notebook. Erasa looked at it and gasped (A.N. Seats: Gohan - Leena - Erasa - Videl - Sharpener).
"Wow! What's that, Leena?" - Videl also looked, and was equally amazed.
"What, this? It's just this idea I had just now... I'll show it to Mr. Briefs and Bulma as soon as I get home... Nii - chan, what do you think?" - Gohan turned his eyes away from the board and looked at the drawing. By the way, it was a car.
"Ah... Cool... Engine?"
"Type K3-332"
"Nice...! Looks good..."
"I thought so too" - she sighed - "Think Bulma will like it?"
"Oh, please! There's not a single thing you've done in your entire life that Bulma hasn't liked until today, Leena... What the hell?"
"Students, I'd like to announce that we are going to have a special presentation in three days. There will be no classes that day, therefore, you do not need to bring your books and notebooks, but do pay attention to the presentation, because you're be required to write a paper on it, due Monday"
"Hey, sir, who is coming?" - Leena asked excited.
"Oh, you'll be most delighted, miss, once you seem to be a Science lover"
"I am, sir"
"Well, who is the greastest inventor and scientist in this whole world?"
"There are two"
"I'm sorry?"
"Briefs Bulma and her father"
"Oh, yes, that is... Correct"
"So... Who's coming?"
"Well, Briefs Bulma and her father are coming Friday to release their new collections of cars and other supplies" - Gohan and Leena sank on their seats - "It's a great honor and surprise, considering"
"I'm gonna kill her!" - Leena said.
"Yeah? You're not, 'cause I'm getting to her faster than you" - Gohan said angrily through his teeth.
"You guys are kinda like me and my dad" - Videl commented.
"Guess so..."
"So... Leena, Gohan... What's the deal between you two and the Briefs? I mean... Why do you live with them?" - Erasa asked.
"Well..." - Gohan started, but his eyes were starting to burn, so he silenced quickly, not able to continue. Erasa and Videl looked at Leena, who smiled nicely.
"It's just that... It's hard for any of us... We moved in with the Briefs after mommy died seven years ago, after giving birth to Goten" - she said still smiling.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Leena, Gohan, I had no idea..." - Erasa said.
"Of course not. Well, anyway, daddy knows Bulma since he was very young, and we all met uncle Vegeta when nii - chan and me were about five or so, and they were nice enough to let us... Go live with them. Daddy is... How can I put it...? Well, he never really did well with this whole... Working thing... So, we went to live with the Briefs. At least there daddy has something to do... Spar with uncle Vegeta"
"Is Briefs Vegeta really your uncle?" - Gohan laughed silently, and Leena's eyes brightened up.
"He's of our daddy's... Race"
"Race?"
"Well... They're from the same... Place. And he's so nice!"
"Briefs Vegeta, nice?!"
"Yes, Videl... Why?"
"You think that man... The most dangerous man alive is... Nice?"
"Yes... He is, at least to me"
"Really?"
"She's his little pet, and he's her little pet" - Gohan said in an amused tone. Leena blushed hard.
"Nii - chan!"
"What? It's the truth, Leena"
"Not!"
"Okay... For our birthday, he gave me a nice gi. Another one. And you... Oh, what was that...? Of course... He gave YOU a dress, boots... Wait... And a blouse, a sweater, shoes, snickers, a jacket... A whole new wardrobe, Leena!" - the girl blushed harder.
"He didn't know what to get you, nii - chan!"
"Oh, yeah... And... Wait, he gave you something else... What was that...?" - he thought for a moment, not really remembering, but then he smirked - "Oh, of course... How could I ever have forgotten... The Leena library..."
"Say what?"
"Vegeta got two HUGE rooms without use, and transformed them into an enormous library, and it was named... Ta, da... The Leena library" - the girl was REALLY blushed, in a way that was definitely not normal.
"Uncle Vegeta just..."
"Yeah, yeah... Not that I wanted a private library or anything, but just to prove my point, Lee"
"You're mean, Gohan!"
"Oh, upset? That's the only reason why you'd call me by my name, Leena..."
"Nii - chan..."
"Well, that's it for today" - the teacher said leaving. The students sighed.
"What now?" - Gohan asked to no one in particular and reading his schedule. He sighed - "Damn..."
"What?"
"English" - Leena smiled brightly.
"Yes!"
"Oh, Dende, why are you so mean...?"
"Who's Dende?" - Erasa asked, curious.
"Dende is a friend of ours"
"Oh..."
"Why do you hate English so much?"
"Old business. Leena here used to torture me"
"How?"
"Well, simply making me read every single book and play and comedy and whatever Shakespeare ever wrote. And it almost killed me"
"But they're SO nice, nii - chan! I love them, and you should too"
"Not"
"Stop that"
"I wasn't the one who started this whole thing"
"Was too!"
"Was not!"
"Was!"
"Not!"
"Ah... Shut it! If you don't, uncle Vegeta and uncle Piccolo will be mad at you for being mean to me!"
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Wow! You've really got Briefs Vegeta under control, huh, Leena?" - the girl blinked a few times.
"Well, uncle Vegeta is one of the people I love the most, and I'm sure he feels the same way. Besides that, he IS a nice person, but he doesn't like to let people know it, once he's... Uncle Vegeta"
Man, this girl is SO weird! She says Briefs Vegeta, probably the most dangerous man in the world, is nice? Come on! - Videl thought.
Classes went on (not in the mood to describe each and every one) until the last two... Physical Education (aka PE).
Gohan was a bit embarrassed due to his muscles and all, and because they were going to swin.
Kami...
He exited the changing room, wearing baggy clothes, and went towards the pool, watching the clean water...
"Hey, nii - chan, why aren't you wearing... I don't know, your bathing suit?"
"'Cause I..." - he stopped, gasping loudly, when he looked at his dear and sweet little sister.
"What?"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING, LEENA?!" - by this point, the whole class was looking at them, and they all knew what Gohan was talking about.
Leena wore a two piece dark blue bathing suit. Her body, although she was a fighter, was slim and very much feminine, not at all masculine or full of muscles and such. It was pretty obvious she was not a little girl, like Gohan still wanted to see her. Her hair, by the way, was tied in a high ponytail.
"What? Bulma and I bought this... What's wrong with it? It's a bathing suit, after all"
"How can you think wearing that is okay?"
"What do you...?"
"Leena!"
"What?"
"Leena!"
"I am wearing a bathing suit, nii - chan. What's wrong with you? Am I... THAT bad looking?" - she looked sad - "You don't think I'm even a little, tiny bit pretty, nii - chan?" - he blushed hard.
"Of course not, Leena... I mean, I don't think you're bad looking at all, Leena, but... Do you HAVE to wear stuff like that? Come on!"
"What?"
"Guys are looking at you" - he whispered. The girl blushed hard and looked at her feet.
"Oh..."
"Well, of course I knew this kind of things were over due, but... Well, I can't help acting like your big brother!"
"Eh... Nii - chan? Why don't you take those off? The teacher is coming back soon, and he'll tell you to do it anyway, so..."
"Right!" - blushing, Gohan took off his gym clothes.
"Ah! You look so nice, nii - chan!" - that only made him blush even harder.
All girls were looking at Gohan with... Lust. His mucles were obvious and very well formed. Boys were not angry with the girls, but only because they still kept looking at Leena and, obviously, her body.
"Yeah... Thanks, Leena" - Gohan said, grinning like a Son. Leena did the same, and their classmates could finally see how equal they actually were.
"All right, ladies and... Girls" - the teacher said smirking when he entered the gym. He glanced quickly at Leena, and was pretty impressed, but didn't let it show on his face - "My name, as you all should know, is Shato (*laughs*) Kevin. And the newbies are...?"
"Son Gohan and Leena, sir" - Leena said grinning sweetly.
She's the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen, Kami... What the...? No... Can't think like that! She's a student! Of course that I'm new and all, but even so...
Shato (*laughs again*) Kevin is a twenty five year old young man, with dark brown hair and intense dark green eyes. He's known for: his smirks, his nice built, his rudeness towards his male students and for his good looks.
"Ahem! I see you're all with your bathing suits, so I suggest you GET INTO THE WATER!" - he smirked - "I'm talking mainly to all of you, ladies! Girls, stand back for a moment" (by the way, for those who are just wondering: ladies=guys; girls=girls)
Growling, the boys went to the water, in groups of five. Kevin (well, once he's quite young, I find it better to call him by his first name, okay?) smirked as always, watching the 'ladies'.
"Neh, nii - chan, don't you think Shato (Man, I'll never get tired of this!!) - san is a bit harsh with the boys?"
"Yeah, I guess he is... But he's not as bad as... Well, you know who"
"Uncle Vegeta"
"Of course"
"You're so mean..."
"Humpt"
"Oh, by the way! Nii -chan, have you noticed how high Shato - san's Ki is?"
"Huh?" - Gohan concentrated on Kevin's Ki, and was pretty impressed - "Wow... You're right..."
"Yeah! It's even higher than Videl's... And hers is quite high for an average human being"
"I must agree" - he glanced quickly at Videl - "She is, indeed, quite powerful, and she's a girl..."
"Hey! I resent that!" - Leena exclaimed. The whole class, including the boys in the pool and the teacher, silenced and looked at the twins. Gohan blushed hard, easily noticing the stares - "I am very much stronger than you!"
"What?" - his Saiyan blood was burning with slight anger - "YOU are stronger than ME? Should I remind you who defeated you know who?"
"No, but I did help you. And because of me, daddy didn't die. So, ha!"
"You are not stronger than me, Leena!"
"Afraid, nii - chan?"
"Not at all, dear Lee"
"Up to no good..."
"Shut it!"
"Oh... You SO didn't tell me to shut up, now did you, nii - chan?!" - she got up and glared at Gohan, who also got up. The Saiyan blood on their veins was screaming: fight. Their Ki were rising, and becoming quite dangerous to be around with.
"Okay, you two, break it off" - said Kevin walking towards them. But... No use. The young Saiyan were almost out of control, and the young teacher could do nothing to stop that.
"Hey! What's up?" - Gohan and Leena spun their heads immediately, and their dark eyes widened at the sight. The newcomer, a handsome man with little dark dair, dark eyes, and a cross shaped scar on the cheek (I think it was on the left one, just like Kenshin). He had a nice built and a surprised look on his face.
"Yamcha" - Leena and Gohan said.
"What the... Your... Ki... No way... Gohan and... Leena?" - he trailled off. He looked at the two teens, and pretty surprised, and stunned, to see how much they'd grown, specially Leena, who was always beautiful, but now... She was a grown woman...
"Yamcha - kun!" - Leena cried, running to him, hugging him real tight. He blushed hard, and Gohan growled (oh, brotherly jealousy...).
"Leena!" - he went to them, and the girl let go of Yamcha's neck.
"Hey, what's up, man?"
"Yeah, yeah... It's been a while... Seven years..."
"Yeah, right..."
"Hey, everyone! Listen up! This, as you all should know, is Bandit Yamcha, and he'll be my partner in teaching for now on"
"How do you know each other, sir?" - asked Sharpener.
"Baseball days"
"Yamcha - kun, you're gonna be our teacher?" - Leena said brightly. He blushed harder.
"Ah... Yeah... The girls' teacher, actually" - all of the girls - noticing: except for Videl, Leena and a girl in the back - screamed excited.
"Watch your hands, Yamcha. You wouldn't want a law sue, now would you?" - Gohan mocked.
"Hey! My hands are not... Foolish as they used to be!"
"Bulma told me about that..." - Yamcha looked at Leena - "She said 'Yamcha? Ha! He's such a perverted mind! And he thinks he's the hottest guy in the whole world! I mean, okay, he was and is hot, I admit that much, but not THE hottest! When it comes to that, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan can beat him easily! Come on! And Leena, watch his hands. Very foolish. When you meet him again, you'll be a grown woman, and he'll sure try to make a move on you, so be careful. He's a persistant little one'. Now... Oh, yeah! She said that just after I last saw you, Yamcha - kun!"
"Yeah" - Yamcha said, blushed - "Damn Bulma... Gonna get her for that one..."
"But it's not totally false, Yamcha" - Gohan said, and the former baseball player glared at him - "What? I kinda remember Bulma telling me, one day, about your youth. How you used to make passes on girls, even when Bulma was kinda around"
"I did nothing of that sort!"
"Did too"
"Did not! If I had, Goku would be angry at me!"
"Daddy?" - Leena blinked, not understanding - "Why daddy?"
"'Cause... He was always with us, and he was always very protective of Bulma" - Yamcha grinned - "Well, she's kinda like his sister. Which would make her almost like your aunt. What? Isn't that why you call Vegeta 'uncle Vegeta', Leena?"
"No... That's only because daddy and he are both you know what"
"Oh, right... Well, enough of this, and let's begin with our PE class, shall we ladies?"
"Ahem, Yamcha?" - Kevin called.
"What's up, Kevin?"
"Call them girls, 'cause it'll be less confusing, okay?"
"Huh?"
"These sissies are the ladies here" - he smirked at his male students' glaring.
"Oh, okay... Got it" - he smiled - "Okay, girls, come with me to pool #2!"
It was a rather regular PE class, considering that Gohan was almost always getting the first place in every thing they did. Leena went even better - or worse - than her brother, getting the first place ALWAYS, and with ease. Yamcha kept on smiling to her.
The classes ended and Leena was the first one to get out. She saw Yamcha and Kevin talking by the pool and got closer.
"Yeah, and... Oh... Hey, Leena!" - Yamcha said, grinning.
"Huh?" - Kevin blushed slightly, seeing how gorgeous Leena looked even without her bathing suit.
"Neh, I just wanted to say good bye, Yamcha - kun, Shato (Man!) - sensei" - she bowed politely to her teacher, who smirked.
"No need for that kinda treatment, miss Son"
"Huh? But aren't you my teacher? Shouldn't I be polite towards you?"
"Well, yeah, but... What about Yamcha?" - Leena smiled and hung on the guy's arm. He blushed.
"I know him for a very long time" - she squeezed his arm - "Since I was a little girl! And so does nii - chan and everyone else! Daddy, Bulma..."
"Bulma as in... Bulma, Yamcha's only steady girlfriend ever?" - Kevin asked, smirking. Students started to come out of the changing rooms - "See you later, ladies, girls!"
"Bye!" - Yamcha said.
"Bulma? You know Bulma, Shato - sensei?" - Leena asked, not letting the subject drop.
"No, not really... But Yamcha used to talk a lot about her, specially when he was a player"
"How did you know him, sensei?"
"Well, my father was a player, so... I got to know the other players in my father's team"
"Oh... Yeah, I thought it'd be something like that. There was no way someone so young could ever have been a player with Yamcha - kun! Not that you're old, Yamcha - kun, but Shato - sensei is very, very young... Around... Twenty one?"
"I'm twenty five, actually"
"Oh... Not so old! Just... Hum... Seven years older than nii - chan and me... Ah! Nii - chan!" - she got away from Yamcha and went to her brother, hugging him tight. He blushed, once Sharpener, Videl and Erasa were near him - "Neh, nii - chan, how about a chocolate ice cream now? And we could take some home! Daddy would love some! And Trunks, Goten, uncle Vegeta, Bulma, Mr. Briefs... Please, nii - chan! Please, please, pretty please? I promise I'll make it up to you! Okay, how about..." - she thought for a quick moment - "I'll buy you a nice gi! How about it? A... Dark blue one, just like the one uncle Vegeta ruined last weekend! Please...?"
"No need to... Beg, Leena" - Gohan said sweatdropping and grinning - "We'll go, and buy whatever you want to. I mean, that's why Bulma gave each of us an IC"
"What does 'IC' stand for?" - Videl asked.
"Infinite credits" - Leena replied, smiling.
"What...?"
"Bulma said we'd need A LOT of credits someday, so she gave it to us right when we moved to CC. Of course that nii - chan almost never uses it because he almost never goes out, and when I do, I always go with Bulma, and she ends up paying for everything, but anyway..."
"Bulma gave you an IC?" - Yamcha asked.
"Yes"
"Man... She must really like you..."
"She does, I think"
"She likes Leena" - Gohan said, smirking truly evil - "And so does Vegeta... He gives her THE best presents in the whole world!"
"Nii - chan!" - Leena exclaimed, very blushed - "You are not nice to uncle Vegeta, so that's why he's not nice to you!"
"Oh, even if I tried to be nice to him, he'd punch me and call me a sissy and all, and we'd start a fight, Leena. You're a girl, the only girl that has ever tried to be... Sweet to him, and that includes Bulma! Not even she is as sweet and nice and... Loving as you are towards Vegeta"
"He's nice, no matter what others say, nii - chan!"
"He's not nice! He's evil!"
"No... Evil is someone who cares for no one at all, and uncle Vegeta cares..."
"For himself and you!"
"Gohan!"
"Ha! You're all angry now, huh?"
"Gohan... I don't really think it's a good idea to make Leena THIS mad, or mad at all" - Yamcha warned, fear in his eyes - "You DO remember what she can do and does when she's... Pissed, right?" - Gohan paled and lost his smirk.
"Crap. Okay... Leena, I was only joking, okay? Will you please, please be nice and settle down, you know? You can't get mad... Specially here"
No use... Leena was almost losing it... Her eyes flicked sky blue once, but so fast that only Yamcha and Gohan saw it. Well...
No way... This girl is... Powerful... And her eyes... - Kevin thought.
And then, Leena calmed down at once. But only because she felt a familiar Ki approaching. She smiled brightly and ran to the doors of the gym. As soon as they were opened, she started hugging and hanging on the person's neck. Who, exactly? Well, Vegeta...
"Leena..." - he said, embarrassed and blushing madly - "Eh... Brat, Leena, Bulma told me to eh... Take you home. Something about... That you're new around and whatever..." - he kept on blushing, with Leena smiling brightly at him.
"Uncle Vegeta! Let's buy ice cream? Please, please?" - she was still hugging him, and her plea only made him blush more deeply. The ones around them, watching the scene, were not laughing, but only because they knew for sure they'd die if they did so.
"Eh... Alright, Leena" - she smiled like a little kid and kissed him on the cheek. Man... Deep crimson or something darker...
"You're very nice, uncle Vegeta!" - she cried, happily. But only a moment after, she glared at Gohan, making everyone who saw that look, become nervous and aprehensive - "And you're not, Gohan" - she said, coldly. She turned once again to Vegeta, who kept silent - "Uncle Vegeta, come on! I'm sure Gohan can get home by himself, so let's go buy that ice cream ourselves, please?"
"Whatever. Gohan, don't be late. Spar today, before and after dinner. Be late and even Kakarot will wanna kick you for your lateness" - Vegeta said, smirking. He looked to Leena and blushed hard again - "Let's go, then, Leena" - she smiled sweetly and the two went away.
"Your sister is kinda... Scary" - Sharpener commented. Gohan gulped.
"You have NO idea, Sharpener... No idea at all... Leena is... She's even worse than mom was"
"Chi Chi wasn't THAT mean" - Yamcha said - "I mean... She was only... Strict. But... Leena..." - he paused for a moment - "She's one of a kind. And by that I mean a very perfect mix between Goku and Chi Chi. In other words: dangerous and..." - he paused again, looking carefully at his students - "Powerful"
"Yeah" - Videl agreed - "She makes Briefs Vegeta blush and all. And... He's THE most dangerous man alive, and she's... Just a girl..."
"Oh, but Leena is no 'just a girl', Videl" - Gohan stated - "She's... Special"
"She's always been" - Yamcha completed.
Special... I agree with it... - Kevin thought - But... Yamcha is right... She's quite powerful, indeed. And... What was that color in her eyes? Sky blue... So... Gorgeous... Like her... Son Leena... She's perfect all the way... Crap! No, don't fall for a student! NO!
It was a rather interesting first day, indeed it was but, of course: it would not be the last.
___________________________________________________________________
Quick note: by the way, "Shato" is written like "Chato", a word in Portuguese that means (when it comes to use it as an adjective) boring, or annoying, or unconfortable, or, sometimes, awkward. And Kevin is quite annoying sometimes, huh?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's a rather great joy for me when I open my Mail Box and find myself reading a review... I think I said something about... I don't know, how I wanted to get at least one review in order to have something to write under my next chapter - this one. Oh, and what a joy it was to find myself reading my very first flame... Anger obviously rose in me, but once I opened Word and started writing... Oh, what a relieve it was! But, of course, it was only after I calmed myself for a few moments, while waiting for the computer to re-start... So, here we go:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Vegetto: What to say to you? I highly doubt you're gonna read my dear fic again, therefore, you'll probably not gonna be reading this at any moment what so ever, but anyway, let's get to it, okay? Hum... Let's go through your review, to start with a good respond:
"Ugh. Just what we need, another crappy Mary Sue story. Not to mention how crappy the writing was. Write something worth reading, instead of wasting everyone's time."
Oh, so sweet! Just like the actual Vegetta... Now, let's go by parts:
"Mary Sue story" - I'm not very into this kind of fic language (or whatever it is), but I'm supposing it's a simple expression to compare a character to Reese Witherspoon's character in Pleasantville, correct? Oh, yeah... I might sound like an idiot *you agrees happily like a little Santa's elf*, but I really don't get this kind of expression and such. Oh, and just so we're clear: by Mary Sue, people - and you, in this case - mean "pretty face, nothing - or almost nothing - inside"?
"how crappy the writing was" - Thank you very much, Vegetto! Your a real sunshine in hell, aren't you just? Hey, if the writing bothers you THAT much that you can't even stand reading the whole damn thing, then don't! And what are you talking about? Didn't get AGAIN. My writing sucks. Okay, I can deal with that, 'cause I do know I'm not a very good writer anyway (I'm not a conceited little one), but which aspect of my writing you're talking about? I haven't had that many classes about how to write, so I can only split the writing in two parts: grammar/spelling and writing style. So... Which one? Yeah maybe - and most likely - my writing is not perfect, I know it's not, but it's because I'm not used to writing IN ENGLISH, due to the main fact that I do not live in an English speaking country, therefore, mistakes can and will be found, and I did warm about it at the very begining. And my style... I don't know what you didn't like... Can't explain my style FOR THIS PARTICULAR FIC (that because I usually change the way I write - slightly - in each one of my stories) 'cause it's not quite easy to do such a thing. Oh, just remembered something... You didn't like the way I write, you know... With no twists or stupid/strange/weird things going on, or maybe because I write too damn correctly, with basically no swearing, or maybe the choice of words? Tell me, oh dear, tell me, please!
"Write something worth reading, instead of wasting everyone's time" - I'm very sorry... But do you represent the whole mass of people that have acess to a computer with acess to the Net? I swear I didn't know! If I did, I'd have made sure I'd destroyed my computer and went to live in a far away place, with no acess to technology greater than a bicycle *you: smirkes and agrees chanting around everyone like a cute little blondie fairy* Everyone can say what the hell they want, and write whatever they feel like it, and I'm a person, so... I write whatever I feel like it! And, besides, can you actually say no one in the whole world will ever like my fic? I mean, be a little human - with feelings, if possible -, and give me a straight forward answer! Too bad I can't even be sure you're reading this at any point of your life. I mean, it must be very hard to read a fic you couldn't care less for, with all that elf's work, plus the whole chanting with the other cute little blondie fairies, I suppose... Oh, well... Gotta be glad I'm calmer now and was actually able to write so many things as a reply to your review/flame without even using, not even one little time, "fuck you", "screw you", "go to hell" and such when refering to you. Oh, and I might be wrong, but reading your review/flame now, once again, I feel like you're not such a badass/jerk/imbecile/full of crap/idiot/asshole/moron (these are basically my favorite name calling) after all. Oh, and, if you're reading this - still -, could you answer all of my questions above sometime? I'd really like that. And, by the way, if anyone reading this knows how to reach Vegetto, could you please do me a small favour? Tell him (?) to read this "little" note, written speacially to see if he gets that his words don't really have such a great impact, and that, most importantly, they don't always get through people's "thick skulls"...
Final note to Vegetto: how can you be such a *pause for name calling* if you haven't at least posted anything out of "that"? (I mean the poem, for those who don't know about Vegetto's only thing posted here in fanfiction.net) Post more and then go around flaming, okay? Just saying... Oh, and I'm only curious: is there ANY fic AT ALL that you've EVER liked? 'Cause I did check, and you had no Favorite Authors/Stories, so... Have you ever? If not... That's pretty sad. And, by the way, just so you know, this was not a very large *ahem* polite reply, considering my past... And it's in English... Damn... You should see what I write when I wanna respond to someone's flame... But in my dear native language, of course... *you: What is it? Badwritersh?* Oh, God... Forgot one little thing! *Ahem* IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FIC, DON'T READ IT, AND CERTAINLY DO NOT REVIEW IT, FLAMING IT! JUST LOOK AWAY, AND DON'T BE... YOU! *you: chantes with Santa, his elfs, and your friends, the other cute blondie fairies*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
This is for everyone - not only Vegetto: Isn't a fic supposed to be a hobbie? Then why people need to be mean? Oh, yes, Vegetto, I'm a sensitive little one and whatever, but it's true! A hobbie is not meant to be mocked or anything, is it? (am I the kind of person that likes to gives moral lessons? Not at all, but I do have it in me, somewhere... People's influence...)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hotaru: Valeu! Bem, eu já te respondi via e-mail, então aqui só agradecerei o seu review, mais uma vez! *bow*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Julia and Tania: Man... This was one big review... I don't really remember how many reviews this big I've gotten so far, but they aren't that many reviews in my reviews file either, though... *sweatdrop*
Oh, it's maybe because my brain doesn't really get some things when I'm kinda tired - like when I read your review -, but there are things I didn't understand... But I did like the fact that you said I didn't make that many mistakes along the way! It's something that actually ALWAYS bothers me, writing in English or not. Eh... Yeah, I don't really have many fics in English - in the writing process, I mean -, but it's only because I'm a bit busy with my other fics, that are kinda more important to me... Specially because my fics in English are mostly plotless *swreatdrop* and not very interesting (in my sincere opinion). *Ahem* But anyway, I REALLY liked your review, so let's clear some of the points you pointed (this sounded weird...):
Well... I chose Romance/General simply because... It's a romance! Well, I'm not very good *sweatdrop* Okay, I'm not good AT ALL with action scenes and such, therefore, I cannot write those kinda scenes (and you two DO understand that when I say "action scenes" I mean fighting scenes and such, right?). I'm actually good *ahem* better with romance scenes, 'cause they are MUCH easier - at least in my opinion. Which is why basically ALL of my fics are romances! *sweatdrop* About "complecity"... I don't really think ANY of my fics/originals are complex at any point, but that's only because I know and understand the world around my characters in a way a simple readers would never (I refering here to my AU fics and originals)... And, well... To be honest, I think ALL of my stories - fics and originals - are rather confusing. Yes, confusing. Why? *sweatdrop* 'Cause sometimes I make things happen, stranger and weird and non-sense things, actually. But... Okay, okay... Complexity... After you read this chapter, I'm kinda 90% sure you'll wonder about Leena's relantionship with someone... Who? Well, actually, there are two possibilities (obvious ones): Dende and Kevin. Of course that with Dende, it's WAY too obvious, and easy, so I'm thinking of making this a Leena/Kevin. Why? 'Cause he's young, yes, but not young enough for a seventeen year old like Leena... And I'm just picturing... Vegeta (aka uncle Vegeta) having to control himself... 'Cause he'll wanna commit murder... Obviously, he's gonna want to rip a certain teacher's head off... And about Gohan... Of course he also needs a girl! And I put her in this chapter, actually. But her name didn't appear, nor did her appearance... (she's the girl that didn't start making a scene - Videl, Leena and this girl - when Yamcha appeared) That's because, as I said on the top, I REALLY don't like V/G, so... Gotta make up another girl for Leena's nii-chan... She's gotta be an interesting little one... Tough, maybe... Sweet, only on the inside *laughs*
Oh, but there was something I didn't quite understand: "feel". What does it mean? *starts to get desperate* I can't get it! "Sleeping Beauty feel", is that it? *sweatdrop* Still didn't get it... Maybe it's the way I make everything sweet and cute? Well, that's my "gift"... Make basically ANYTHING sweet and cute... (even a reply to a flame) Hum... It's my whole "romance policy", and the fact that I used to ADORE fairy tales when I was little... (and still kinda do...) But I promise I'll start trying to change the "feel", and make it... What? That's something you either didn't mention or I didn't understand... Make it what? Rough? *bangs head against the computer screen* More dramatic, maybe?! *grins* That's something I think I might actually be able to do. And, just wait... IF I actually put Leena and Kevin together, I'll make sure they suffer *ahem* to see if they actually love each other... And... In chapter 03, there's this guy that comes on to Leena quickly... I could make him appear again... And I know how, where and why... (hint: when you read - if you do - chapter 03, check out his EYES! They're pretty like this other character's...)
Oh! And about "letting characters judge Leena's appearance". In this chapter, the characters mention Leena's appearance three times as gorgeous... That's good, right? And... liked your review! It was no flame at all! It was not THAT helpful 'cause I had trouble understading it perfectly, but it was not at all offensive! (just read Vegetto's...)
Again, thank you for the review" *bows*
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Note: These thanks are a bit long, huh? *Sweatdrops* What is a girl to do? (I'm a girl, by the way - if I hadn't mentioned this before and if people hadn't figured it out). Oh, and for whoever is reading this: I'll be a little long before I deliver the third chapter, due to my other stories and stuff... At least I'm in vacation, so...
