Chapter 3
§±§±§±§
"Beat my dad?" asked Videl in a mocking tone. "That's impossible! He is the world champion!" She stated to the children as she continued to eye Gohan suspiciously as he picked up his fallen text books. "So Gohan... what have you been teaching these kids?" she asked him, the evil smirk returning.
The hybrid saiyan teen slightly gulped as he searched for an answer that would keep her from getting even more suspicious. "Videl, remember when Trunks told you that he's better at lying than I?" Videl gave a small nod, "Well... my little brother is the same way, and they have HUGE imaginations. Just ignore them when they start talking about something this farfetched." She raised an eyebrow as she looked to the chibi's; she looked back to Gohan. She then believed the teen before her, well for the time being...
"Okay..."
Videl felt a small hand poke her arm and she looked down to the black haired chibi, "World champion? What's that?" The hybrid saiyan child even used his big puppy eyes to ask the question. Who could resist that?
Videl gave him a bright smile, you know... one of those smiles that rarely appears on her face. Sharpener and Erasa couldn't believe that a small child could even make her smile like that, and for Gohan, well... he just started to blush as he thought how beautiful she looked with the smile. But as quick as the feeling came, he shoved it away and slapped his forehead... hard.
'Why am I thinking like this!' He looked up to her as continued to hold his younger brother, 'She's just a friend...'
"Well," started Videl as she leaned back on the sofa, "A World Champion is a person who wins a martial arts tournament. It's usually the best of the best martial artists." Goten's eyes became the size of saucers.
"You get to fight?!" asked the chibi excitedly. Videl gave a nod. "Yes, and the winner of the tournament are able to be named the World Champ. Come to think of it..." Videl placed a finger on her chin, "I think the up coming tournament is next week." She looked down to the chibi. But she noticed that his attention was no longer faced to her, but to the other chibi on the other side of the room. She noticed the two exchanging glances and grin evilly.
Goten looked back up at Videl with his cute smile, "Trunks and I want to enter the tournament!" Videl blinked.
"Um... I don't know if you'll qualify," she replied. She didn't want to break the poor kids' hearts, but she honestly didn't think they would make it to the semi finals. They were kids for crying out loud!
Goten looked back to his brother and smiled, "I think Saiyaman should enter the contest! What do you think Gohan?" The older teen, which was now placing his textbooks on the floor next to a sofa, that Videl sat on, snapped his head to his younger brother. He had a sweatdrop fall from the side of his head.
"I think Saiyaman would need to patrol the cities during the tournament. However, I think it would be an awesome fight if he did show up!" He placed a hand behind his head chuckling nervously.
"I would have to agree! Saiyaman is SO cool!" squealed Erasa, "But it does make you wonder what he looks like in real life."
"Oh! Ohhhhh!" exclaimed Goten as he became excited. "I know what Saiyaman looks like!!!"
All teens looked to the young child blinking. Gohan became as pale as a ghost once again as he tried to hide his face in one of the huge textbooks. "You, Son Goten, have seen Saiyaman?" asked Videl trying to hold down her excitement.
Goten nodded his head quickly as he smiled widely. "Yep! He's the Gold Warrior in disguise! He's sooooo cool!"
"A gold warrior?" asked Sharpener with a smirk, "Well... that should be expected. He is rumored to be one of the strongest crime fighters in the city."
"And what about flying? I find that amazing!" exclaimed Erasa. She folded her hands, and noticed something sitting on lamp table out of the corner of her eye.
"If I ever do find him, I want him to teach me how to fly for the upcoming tournament. I think it would be a big advantage against the other warriors!" stated Videl boldly.
"I can't fly either..." stated Goten lowering his head, "Big brother won't teach me..." Videl and Sharpener turned to Gohan, which just seemed to be completely ignoring the others. He was trying his best to complete the pile of homework his mother left behind for him. He was also trying his hardest to not blush or strangle one of the chibi's. They were going to kill him one of these days... He gave a mental sigh.
Meanwhile, the black haired human inwardly smirked. 'Fly, eh? Just perfect! Now I KNOW Gohan's Saiyaman!' She had an evil smile grace her lips as she scooted closer to Gohan. He was really trying to concentrate on his work! But with her scooting closer to him, he couldn't help but look at her nervously.
"Y-yes, Videl?" he asked. She looked down at the textbook that lay in his lap. She raised an eyebrow. 'What in the world...' thought Videl, 'I don't even know a TENTH of those symbols on that page!'
"What are you working on?" she asked him, almost completely forgetting what she was originally going to ask the male teen. Gohan placed a bookmark of where he was working, and turned the book over. "Advanced College Calculus?" she asked him. Gohan nodded as he opened the book back up.
"My mom never wanted me to be like my dad who never got a school education," replied the saiyan teen as he continued his work.
"She wants you to be THIS advanced? You could already be in college working for your Masters Degree or a PhD!" exclaimed Videl.
Gohan gave a shrug as he continued to work. He seemed to completely zone out for the next few minutes.
Silence rolled into the room for about a minute or two before Erasa squealed. "Videl! Sharpener! Look at what I found!" She had an open book on her lap, and her ever infamous giggling rang in the room. Both human teens, as well as saiyan chibi's went over to the blonde female and looked on.
"A photo album?" asked Sharpener raising an eyebrow. Erasa nodded.
"I was surprised that I found it! I really hope Mr. Genius over there," she commented pointing over to Gohan studying, "Doesn't mind if we looked at these."
Videl looked over to teen Gohan and gave a shrug as she looked back to her friends. "I don't think he would even notice." Erasa nodded as she turned to the first page of the book.
The photo album started off with a current picture of the family. It was a picture of Chichi, Gohan, as a teen, and chibi Goten in their Sunday's best dress clothes. All had a nice sized smile gracing their faces. 'Is this what a happy family should look like?' asked Videl as she gazed at the picture.
Erasa turned the page, and on the back of the first picture was of another family picture, but of one before the Cell games. This one was of Gohan, obviously younger, and with a training gi on. They were surprised to find him with longer hair, and he also seemed to be showing off a bunch of muscles! He also seemed to have the same grin as the older man that stood beside him. 'This must be Gohan's dad...' thought Videl as she noticed the older man in the orange gi.
"Doesn't that guy look like Son Goku, the last World Champion?" asked Sharpener pointing to the taller saiyan in the picture. The teens looked at the man. He did seem familiar...
"Yep!" exclaimed Goten, "That was my daddy!"
"Was?" asked Erasa as she looked to the child. Goten gave a slow nod.
"Yep, but he died at the Cell games protecting his friends and the world," answered Goten softly. "Well... that's what Gohan told me, but you want to know my own opinion?" he asked them softly. The teens just looked up at the chibi listening. "I think he's a hero! And I want to be just like him!" He gave them the infamous Son Grin®. More 'Awwws' came from the females in the room at the child's speech. It was indeed cute for a child of his age to want to be like his father.
Looking to the page on the other side, it showed a very old picture. And I mean a VERY old picture! It was at the Martial Arts tournament from over eighteen years ago. And it looked like a wedding was taking place! 'Oh yeah...' thought Videl as she looked over the picture. That was the year the Ox King's daughter and the Martial Arts Champion got married! It seemed to be the perfect love story! "Wait a moment..." muttered the female crime fighter. She looked to the picture, then to Gohan and Goten, then back. "Gohan's the son of a Martial Arts Champ AND of a princess?!" she exclaimed.
Needless to say, this caught Gohan's attention. He mentally snapped his fingers, 'And I almost got this work completed too!' he looked up to his friends, and noticed they were looking thru an old book. He slightly shrugged it off. 'It's just a book... that is big... and filled with pictures...' Then it clicked and his eyes widened. They were looking at the family photo album! Sheer panic showed up in his eyes. 'I have Super Saiyan pictures in that book!' his head slammed on the cover of his book, and made a huge dent in the hard cover, '...and mom added a few Saiyaman pics in it too! Oh... crap.'
Erasa turned the next page of the photo album and noticed two pictures. One was of Goku and Chichi; the woman seemed to be a few months pregnant. And the one below was of the couple with a newborn baby in Chichi's arms. "Awww," commented Erasa as she gave a loving smile. "That's so cute!"
"They look about our age," observed Sharpener, as he looked at the couple closer. They looked to the next page. It was of when they were a bit older. Goku had Gohan in his arms, he was about the age of four, and they noticed something strange. The child had a tail! The father of the child didn't seem to mind that fact.
"Um... Gohan?" asked Videl as she looked to where he once sat on the other side of the room. He was no longer there. She blinked, 'Where is-'
"Yeah?" Videl almost jumped a mile high when she heard Gohan's tenor voice behind her. She gave her meanest glare to him and he slightly cowered back. He became nervous once again. Videl gazed at Gohan's features. There was something different about him. She just couldn't quite put her finger on it, and she wanted to get some answers she had to ask him about his past!
Videl pointed to the child in the picture, who was carried by his father, "Why do..." she slightly hesitated hoping that her theory about this child was true, "... you have a tail in this picture?"
The hybrid saiyan teen looked at the picture carefully. He did also spot the brown tail as his father had when he was a child. Gohan began to sweat slightly. 'Great... why didn't mom get the tail cut off when I was younger... or for that matter... take this picture when I HAD gotten the tail cut off?!' Gohan glared into the sky, and for some reason, the sky seemed to get darker and the thunder started to become louder, 'Why did they even FIND this photo album?! I swear that I will KILL you Dende!!!' At that moment, more lightning flashed.
"Um... Gohan?" asked Videl looking up to the peeved teen, which for some reason just stared into the sky muttering curses under his breath. She puffed her cheeks up. "GOHAN!"
That brought Gohan back to reality.
He looked to his friend blinking, "Uh... yeah?"
Videl slapped her forehead, 'He's so weird...'
Gohan furrowed his brow, "What's weird?" Videl slowly looked to Gohan as she turned her head painfully slow to him.
"You must have been hearing things Gohan," stated Erasa, "She didn't say anything after she brought you back to reality." She said that with a small smile. Gohan gave a slow nod before he looked to Videl with a nervous gaze.
'That was strange...'thought Gohan, 'I could have sworn I heard...' He shook his head, 'It couldn't be.' The glare on Videl's face seemed to darken as she turned her attention to the photo.
"You still haven't told us about the picture," muttered Sharpener. Gohan's face began to pale slightly.
'I know... but I don't want to...' thought the saiyan teen suppressing a pout. "I had been told it was inherited by my father. He had one when he was a child." Gohan noticed his friends slightly gasp.
"How did he get the tail?" asked Erasa excitedly. The reply to the blonde female's answer was a shrug, "I don't know. My great grandfather found him one day, and he had a tail. I'm guessing he's just special in that way."
"What happened to your tail then?" asked Videl becoming very suspicious.
"It was cut off when I was younger, but I don't remember when," answered the teen truthfully. Videl, in return, glared at him. Gohan gulped as he brought his hands up.
"I swear! That's all I know!" Watching this Trunks and Goten couldn't help but snicker at the two.
Trunks leaned over to his friend whispering, "Videl acts like our mom's!" Goten gave a small giggle and tried to suppress it with his hands.
"I hope she becomes my sister!" exclaimed the black-haired chibi to his friend quietly. Trunks crossed his arms and began nodding as he closed his eyes.
"I think so too! And there's something suspicious about the two..." added Trunks placing a few fingers on his chin. He turned up to his friend. "Remember when Gohan thought Videl said something when she didn't?" Goten nodded quickly hoping his friend would explain the details. "Well, from stories that my dad has told me... I think Gohan can hear Videl's thoughts." Goten gave a loud, and I mean, LOUD gasp.
All teens looked over to the troublesome duo, and they both waved back to him with sheepish smiles. "Nice weather we're having?" asked Trunks. The four looked among themselves wondering if the children had lost it. Erasa then took the time to turn the page. Gohan's eyes widened as he noticed gold colors on the next few two pages. They were about to look at his Super Saiyan pictures. Gohan looked up to the sky, 'Thanks a bunch DENDE! Now you will DIE!' Another lightning bolt flashed.
As the page was turned completely, the lights went out. This event caused the whole room to become pitch black, and the teens could no longer gaze at the pictures. Gohan released the breath that he didn't know he was holding, and a HUGE smile broke out into his face. 'THANK YOU!' he exclaimed in his head, 'Forget the threats... I shouldn't have doubted you!' thought Gohan, his smile never leaving.
"Gohan."
The black haired teen heard the voice from across the room, and he turned to see Videl. Since he was part saiyan, he could see her perfectly although she looked around the dark room for him.
"Yeah?" asked the teen.
Videl turned to face the direction Gohan's voice was in. "If you wouldn't mind answering my question... Who is Dende?" Gohan paused; he didn't say anything out loud...
Gohan heard the laughter of two children that sat beside the human teens. He glared at them knowing very well that they could see him in the dark, but they ignored their warnings. Very close to grabbing the back of the children's clothes, Gohan was stopped when the front door slammed open, and a deep raspy voice rang in the house.
"BRAT!"
