-----Chapter Two

The two young women were sitting under a tree, peacefully eating their lunch. Around them, students were hanging out with their friends, also eating their lunch while the rest played and studied and even took naps underneath the trees.

"I'm going to tell him," Videl said suddenly causing Erasa to spit out her lemonade.

"But you don't even know if he likes you!" Erasa pointed out. "You'd be going out on a limb!"

"So? At least I'd have told him."

Erasa stared at her friend, her mouth opening and closing as if she were a fish on shore just gasping for air. Erasa couldn't but think that Videl really was strong, not just physically, but emotionally if she was really going to risk rejection. Deciding that she couldn't talk Videl out of this decision, she got back to eating her lunch.

"Mom," Goten said coming into the kitchen. He planted himself on a chair.

"Yes Goten," Chichi replied as she continued to wash the dishes. She found this rather odd that Goten had seated himself on a chair. The only time she'd seen him do this was when he was about to ask a very serious question.

"What's the name of Gohan's school?"

"Orange... Star... Why?" She asked looking at her son suspiciously.

"Just wanted to know. Can I go to Trunks' house?"

Chichi found the quick change of the subject rather odd, but nodded, "Sure, just be back before dinner time."

Goten nodded before hopping out of the chair and skipped out of the house.

-----

"Mom, can you tell me a poem?" Trunks asked as he strode into the room with a paper pad and pen.

Bulma looked at her son, blinking. What had brought on this sudden interest? Normally her son would be over at Goten's or training with his father, or begging his grandparents to take him to the park.

"A poem? What for?" she asked as she joined her son at the table.

"Just... Wanted to hear one."

"Well Trunks, it depends on what kind of poem you want to hear." Bulma replied.

"How about... A romantic poem?"

Bulma laughed. "Romantic? Do you have a girlfriend already?"

Trunks frowned with annoyance. He loved his mom but sometimes she was just too much... "No mom, just gimme some ideas. Please?"

"Okay," she shook her head. "I've got an idea! Why don't we go to the library? I'm sure you'll find loads of books about poetry."

"Can Goten come?"

"Yeah, sure. Just tell me when he's here."

Trunks grinned. "'Kay!" and with that, the little boy ran out of the room.

-----

"Gohan!"

Gohan stopped in mid-air and turned to see that Goten was flying towards him. He was on his way to school the next day when the small saiyan had caught up with him.

"Hey squirt," Gohan greeted him.

"Can I come to school with you today? I wanna see it!" Goten replied as he sat on Nimbus.

"Well, I'd love to take you Goten, but--"

"Mom called the school and asked. She said I could."

"Oh," Gohan blinked. "Well, okay. You have to lose Nimbus though."

"I don't feel like flying... Can I ride on your back?" The little boy asked excitedly. He looked so cute that Gohan couldn't refuse. After getting rid of Nimbus, Goten hopped onto Gohan's back and the two brothers flew to Satan City heading for Orange Star High School. As they were about to enter the building, Gohan pulled Goten aside to explain how he wasn't allowed to show the people his abilities and to just act normal, but really what is normal? Nodding, Goten followed his brother into the school. He stared at his surroundings in awe. The building was full of students scattered out in the hall trying to run to their classes while some hung around, talking to their friends as they waited for the bell to ring.

"Goten, come on. I'll show you my locker since I have to get my stuff," Gohan said.

Goten trudged along the hall following his big brother to his locker. "Where's Videl's locker," Goten asked as Gohan opened his own locker.

"Down there somewhere. Number two seventy-four, I think."

"'Kay."

Gohan was surprised to find that he was just in time for class. He took his seat beside Erasa and Goten sat on the other side of him.

Wow, this place is huge, Goten thought still in awe of everything. But slowly, as lessons began, the little saiyan's awe had disappeared and had been replaced by complete boredom. In fact, he was so bored he was ready to burst into tears. He envied his brother for being capable of withstanding such a horrible experience.

"Gohan," he whispered. "How long do we have to stay here? It's so boring…"

"Don't worry, we only have ten minutes left before gym anyway. Just hang tight." Gohan replied.

Goten slumped lower in his seat. He just couldn't understand how his brother could handle such boredom in such a calm way. Since there was nothing else to look at, he watched his brother read.

"Hey, Goten," Videl said to him, "are you okay?"

"This is boring…" Goten pouted.

Finally, to everyone's delight, the bell rang and once again, Gohan had to come back to his locker for his gym clothes. As Gohan gathered his things, Goten wandered off in search for Videl's locker and found her also gathering her things. He watched closely as she turned the little knob to the right, then to the left, and back to the right again. Like magic, the small little door opened.

"Goten! Come on!" Gohan called out before going into the change rooms.

Goten didn't move. "Videl."

Startled, the young woman turned to him. "Oh! Goten! I thought you'd already gone with Gohan."

"Do you have a boyfriend," the little asked smiling sweetly and ignoring her statement.

Videl blinked. "Uh… No."

"Do you want one?" Goten asked. He noticed the far away look of her eyes and followed her gaze. She was staring at the door that Gohan had just gone through? Huh? She wants the door to be her boyfriend? Well… That sure is strange.

"What's with the questions," she narrowed her eyes.

Goten shrugged.

"Sorry Goten, but I have to go," she said and took off.

Goten scratched his head. Once again, he asked himself why she was staring at the change room doors. Still slightly confused, he followed his brother to the change room. Soon, he found himself sitting on the bleachers with Erasa as the rest of the class played soccer. Goten turned to the blonde. He stared at her for a moment.

"Do you know what kind of… "He looked at his hands for a moment before continuing, "Guy Videl wants?"

"What kind of guy does Videl want?" Erasa asked laughing. "Hmm… Well… Someone like your brother."

Goten nodded slowly as if discovering a very interesting thing… Which it was. "Okay," he replied and watched as the soccer ball zoomed into the net and ripped right through the net. Out in the field, Gohan grinned sheepishly as everyone stared at him.

"Heh, must be the new shoes," he said nervously.

Goten didn't seem to notice the look of shock on the other students faces and continued to cheer his brother on. After all, he didn't see anything wrong with the picture at all.
