Chapter One: You're a Prince!
=
Videl sighed and sunk deeper into her seat. It was weird - being at school and Gohan was nowhere in sight. She sighed and looked back to the history teacher.
"-And that class is why many American's still thinks that Elvis lives on… Now for something a little more interesting." Videl sighed. It did not take much for something to get much more interesting than this. "We're starting a new segment tomorrow…"
Yay.
"It's about royal families that have lived or are still living around this area…"
Yippee.
"At the end of this week we may have a guest speaker and I want you to all be well behaved…"
Oh please! Like that'll happen.
"Remember! These people were raised in the royal way and I want you all to understand that!"
If they were royalty and stuff, why were they coming to this school? I mean, honestly…
The bell rang signaling the end of school. Videl rushed out of there as fast as she could go. She did not need to hear the teacher drone on about some subject or another. She was almost clear when she felt the teacher's hand on her shoulder. Beyond the trying-really-really-hard-to-not-say-yew, she turned to look at the teacher.
"Yes?" He passed her some work and some paper with the persons address on it. She growled at the teacher but didn't day anything. She walked out of the room and opened up her locker. She put her books that she needed into it and then looked at the address on the sticky note.
Son, Gohan
Stuffing the papers in with her books in her back pack, Videl trotted up the flights of stairs to the roof of the building and opened her jet 'copter capsule. As she hopped into the pilot's chair, she checked the coordinates of Gohan's address on the map and took off. "Might as well get that done first," she muttered to herself.

After a long, uneventful and BORING five hour flight, Videl nearly cried with relief when she finally saw a little cottage settled in the forest of the mountain below. She growled under her breath as she landed and hopped out of the helicopter.
"This had better be the right place or else…!" She walked up to the door, papers in hand, and knocked on it. It took a few seconds before the door opened to reveal…a seven-year-old boy.
"Hiyas! Wat's up? How are you? Huh? Huh? HUH? Do you like sugar? Me and Trunks like sugar! We found some too! Uh huh! Uh huh!" Only it was said at least eighteen times faster than how it was written so that she couldn't understand it.
"Um…" She heard someone walk over to the door and pull Goten away from it. After some talking the said person came over. Videl raised an eyebrow at him.
"Gohan? I thought you were sick…" Gohan snorted.
"When my mom said I was going to stay home from school today, I thought so too. So…what brings you here?" Videl handed him the papers, which he glanced at and put onto a table more than likely that was seated by the door.
"Anything else?" He asked. Videl shrugged.
"Not really." Gohan looked outside and saw her helicopter on their lawn. He looked back at Videl questioningly.
"How long did it take you to get here?" Videl looked back to her yellow mode of transportation and shrugged her shoulders again.
"I dunno. Around five hours for certain though." Gohan nodded his head. Videl wondered why he was trying to make her stay longer.
"Um…ye-"
"DINNER!" Videl and Gohan winced at the voice. Gohan rubbed his ears and looked at her apologetically. He took a step back, as in invitation to come inside.
"Do you want to come and eat with us? I mean, if it took you five hours to get here, it'll be just as long going back. Videl nodded her head.
"You're lucky it's the weekend…and as long as I'm not intruding on anything…" Gohan nodded his head no.
"No, don't worry about it." She walked into the small house and heard Gohan closing the door behind her. He took her into the kitchen where Videl saw Goten eating…a lot of food and an older woman who she presumed to be Gohan's mother.
"Hi…" Chichi looked up at her and looked over to Gohan, a look with 'explain-now-young-man!' written all over it.
"Mom, this is Videl, she bought my homework from school over here…I hope you don't mind…" Chichi rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm fine with it, I might actually be able to get a dinner conversation that's not burping, chewing, and slurping for once!" Gohan looked confused along with Goten who had stopped eating for the moment. Both were just about to say something when Chichi put her hand up. "No, don't even say it. Insider's joke or something, just don't say it." Everyone in the room was confused now and Chichi just groaned. "Why me? Why?"
After all of that, Videl and Gohan finally sat down to eat and were actually able to finish believe it or not. Videl found out that what Chichi had said was true.
Slurping, chewing, and burping pretty much was the conversation around the table besides the "umm…this is good mom!" and "Thanks for supper mom!" and "It was great!". She talked to Chichi for a while before the phone rang. Chichi excused herself and Videl turned to look at Gohan who was just finishing his meal.
Videl would have tried to strike up a conversation with Gohan had Chichi not started jumping up and down excitedly.
"Really? Are you positive? Can you do that, papa{1}? Oh this is wonderful! I actually kept Gohan home so I could tell him if your answer came sooner than expected." A pause, "No, it didn't ruin his studies, a girl came over with his homework so everything is fine in that department." Another pause. "Don't worry dad, everything will be fine! I'll tell the boys as soon as possible, okay? Kay, love you!" She hung up the phone and grinned broadly. She looked at Videl and her face saddened a little bit.
"I'm sorry, but you have to leave now. I really am sor-" Videl put her hand up.
"That's ok, don't worry about it. I need to start getting home now anyway. I'm staying at a friend's house who doesn't go to school, so don't worry about me, ja ne!" Videl stood up and walked outside to start flying to her friend's house. Gohan looked over at his mother.
"What's going on?" Chichi waved her hand, silently telling him to 'wait a sec'. When she got Goten into the room, she pointed to them.
"Now you both know that your grandfather is the Ox-king, of course, but you remember what I told you? What he was like before he became how he is today?" Both boys nodded. "Well…Apparently some people don't like how the society is and are actually wondering, since you're grandfather still owns most of the land he had back then, if they could begin the monarchy up again. They're going to make sure that people from different spots of the kingdom have representatives though, so that they know what is going to happen of course and…" Gohan looked at his mother confused.
"Mom, what are you talking about? What does this all mean?" Chichi looked up at him and bit her lip lightly.
"Well Gohan…it means that you're a prince, and that soon, a lot more people will know about it also." He looked at her shocked.
"WHAT?!"
-
Videl was lying in bed at her friend's house. She wondered what that phone call was about. It must have been good too…She yawned lightly.
"Oh well…" She mumbled into the dark. "It couldn't have been that good…" She heard some footsteps in the hall and someone walk in.
"You need to get some sleep girlie. Your papa's gonna be pissed if your copter flew into a tree or a cliff or summtin' 'cuz you's was to tireds to pay attention!" Videl grinned slightly.
"Yeah, yeah…I'm going to sleep.
-
Chichi sat on her bed, drawing out some plans for her father's board to think about for the kingdom. She was going to do everything she could to help her father get his kingdom moving again! She bit her lip and thought about another dilemma.
Her sons.
Goten took the news fairly well saying how he couldn't wait to tell Trunks that he was a prince to! But Gohan? She sighed. He was trying really hard to not let anything slip about himself, since he didn't want to be labeled anything because of his actual title or looks. She sighed. This had to be hard on him. She knew that he could handle it though.
Now the new question arises…
-
Gohan laid awake just staring blankly at the ceiling. A prince? I actually have to play the role of a prince?!?! What did I ever do to deserve this?! He thought silently. He heard Goten's snoring right beside him and looked at him. You're lucky, you know? Changing from 'Son Goten' to 'Prince Son Goten' probably won't be to hard for you. But me? 'Prince Son Gohan'? Nada, it just doesn't…fit. Even 'Professor Son Gohan' fits better than that.
He sighed, like what he thought would make a difference anyway. He was about to fall asleep when a thought occurred to him.
How the hell am I supposed to act anyway? Man, I wish these things came with manuels!
-
Chichi was up early the next morning, pondering her question. She needed someone who knew how to teach this 'position' to Gohan.
Easy, grab someone from a different palace staff!
Her eyes lightened up. She remembered her good friend from childhood Reactulia (nickname: React). She had a son a year or two before she had Gohan! Wonderful!
She went over to the phone book to grab the number of the 'princess's'. Once she found it, she found herself talking to a butler.
{"Ee-low. Dees is dee Uylioa reh-see-donce. The roy-all-tee do not want to b-ee dee-stir-buh-ded. May I take a messeege?"} Chichi nodded her head even though he couldn't have seen her do it.
"Yeah, you can. REACT - GET YOUR BUTT ON THE PHONE!" A few minutes later a female voice came onto the receiver.
{"Chichi? Is that you?"} Said the voice.
"Yup. Guess what!"
{"What?"}
"My father is getting his kingdom back!" The two squealed for moment and then became civilized.
{"Chichi! That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you! I trust your sons take this as good news? You do have two right? I only met Gohan and he was eensy weensy way back when!"}
"Yes, I have two. I was also wondering…could I borrow Phillipe{1}? I need someone to teach Gohan how to act like a prince…" React answered back quickly.
{"Oh! Of course! And their ages are so close together! They are certain to become friends! I mean, is this not fate?"}
"I bet it is! Oh thank you React!"
{"No prob. Chi! Anytime! I can't wait to see you again!"}
"Now…I'll send Gohan over to you tomorrow, okay?"
{"That would be wonderful Chichi! Good by dear!"}
"Mwah to you!"
{"Mwah right back!"}
And with that, the two old friends hung up.
