Goku Goes To College: Part Two
"What are you doing here?" Goku asked. He hadn't seen Turles since he killed him over a decade ago and was surprised at his sudden appearance.
"Student exchange program." Turles replied with a smile.
"Student exchange program?"
"Yeah. Some sucker from Satan City is learning in Hell right now." Turles laughed putting up one of those 'hang in there' posters with the kitten on it. "Apparently his major is philosophy."
"How?" Goku asked.
"Well it was a plot so fiendish and clever that it'd take days for your feeble mind to figure it out!"
"You don't know how it happened do you?"
"No sir." Turles sheepishly replied. "But what are you doing here? I mean sure, you're brain kinda needs some tuning up but, well, why go to college?"
"I got a letter in the mail telling me to come here and learn." Goku said.
"And you just went because the letter told you?"
"Yep."
"Intriguing." Turles said grabbing a pad of paper reading 'Evil Deeds To Try' and writing down 'Trick Kakarot With Letter' between 'Ring Door Bell Of Capsule Corp And Run' and 'Steal Candy From Infant Then Hit Infant's Parent With It'

Back at the Son home Gohan, Videl, Chi Chi and Goten were still trying to put the table together.
"Come on Gohan. You're a half alien with the power to destroy planets and probably one of the smartest people on Earth. This shouldn't be difficult." Chi Chi said as Gohan sighed.
"Power and smarts doesn't equal handiness mom. I'm trying!"
"And you're failing!"
"Maybe you should go lay down Chi Chi." Videl suggested gesturing towards the couch.
Chi Chi nodded. "Fine. But if I wake up and that table isn't finished I'm disowning Gohan and Goten."
"Deal." Goten said taking a bite out of one of the Styrofoam boards the table came in. "You know, this really passes the time."

Back at SCC Goku was looking over his recently printed off schedule and Turles was sitting at a table listening to a language tape for his Spanish class.
"Hola Chika." Turles said as Goku scratched his head.
"This thing's confusing." He said. "I don't know what any of these mean."
Turles grabbed the piece of paper and looked it over. "Well, your first class is biology in room 13B followed by advanced physics in 22F, a lunch break then mathematics in 22J and world literature in 61A."
"Oh. Man, this'll be hard." Goku sighed.
"Well, that's what happens when you enter the educations system Kakarot. Dozens and dozens of pointless challenges." Turles and getting up and walking towards the fridge.
"Can I have something to drink?" Goku asked Turles was about to open the door.
"Sure Kakarot." Turles said opening the door to get a surprise.
"Hey there." Radditz said, curled up between a bottle of Pepsi and a bag of apples. "I noticed your fridge was a little loud and-" Turles grabbed some food and something to drink then shut the door and walked back over to Goku. "Hey open up! It's cold, dark and lonely in here."
"Well, Kakarot, I'm off to class. Apparently you have the day off so I'll see ya later."
Turles left leaving Goku all alone in the small room. Goku sighed and went to open the fridge to talk to Radditz but his brother was gone. "How does he do that?" He asked before raiding the fridge and turning on the T.V.

Back at the Son home Gohan, Goten and Videl continued trying to put together the table from hell.
"This makes no sense!" Gohan cried. "Why does those legs fold like that and the others not fold? And what are these hinges for?"
Goten shrugged and continued taking bites out of the styrofoam as Videl continued trying to read the directions. She was about to sneak off claiming she was going to grab a Japanese to English dictionary when her cell phone rang.
"Hello. Oh, hi dad. I'm at Gohan's house. What do you mean you didn't know his name was Gohan? You've been calling him what? Oh, it arrived? That's great! Erasa and Sharpener are waiting outside the house for me? Well I'll be there right away! See you soon."
Videl hung up her phone and looked towards Gohan and Goten with a sly smirk on her face. "Looks like you two are on your own. The letters of confirmation from SCC arrived today and I've gotta go to the SCC welcome centre." She said.
"Well where's mine?" Gohan asked.
She shrugged. "Maybe they lost in the mail. I don't know. I'm sure it'll arrive soon. Bye."
"Traitor!" Goten shouted as Videl took to the skies back towards the city.

Bored with watching the T.V. Goku decided to explore a little. Walking towards a door he smelled food cooking in. He knocked on the door and moments later it was opened by a very familiar man.
"Hey, I remember you!" The teacher. "You were in my anger management class with that Vegeta guy!"
Goku smiled. "Oh yeah. You were that guy whose eye Vegeta removed with a paper clip!"
"Yeah. That crazy bastard. I got a pretty good looking glass one though anyways what are you doin' here?"
"I'm a student." Goku replied.
"Hmmmm. Well, I'd say you're a little old to be starting college but, well,." The teacher pointed towards the back of the class to a man wearing a bandanna, jersey, sunglasses and a bunch of gold chains. "He's seventy-six."
"Word life my home fresh g-boyzizzles!" The old man shouted while pouring a bag of flour into a bowl as a few people in the class rolled their eyes.
"What class is this?" Goku asked.
"Cooking. I'm not sure why this is in a college by Principal Clicheman said something about it being beneficial to offer dud classes."
"Can I join?" Goku asked.
"I don't know." The teacher said. "You'll have to give up one of your other classes but seeing as you haven't started yet that shouldn't be a problem."
Goku grinned. "Thanks! Mr...what's your name again?"
"Cook." The teacher replied.
"Well, that's a coincidence."
"Yeah, well, your math teacher's full name is Mathew Matic so I'm not the only one."
"Where is that class room anyways?" Goku asked. "I'd might as well meet all my teachers before I start school."
"Good idea Goku." Mr Cook said. "The math room is upstairs and to the right."
"Ok. Well, see ya." Goku said walking up the stairs.
-
Outside Satan City College Videl, Sharpener and Erasa arrived.
"So Gohan's letter didn't arrive yet?" Erasa asked.
"Nope and until that letter does arrive he'll be stuck trying to put together some stupid table while his brother watches on chewing pieces of styrofoam, his mother sleeps and his father sits in his room pouting."
"Pouting?" Sharpener asked. "What kind of family are you marrying into?"
Videl sighed and felt the ring in her shirt pocket.

Flash Back
Gohan was down on one knee, red as humanly possible and Videl was pretty much the same. The two were on Gohan's front porch a few weeks after the Buu crisis.
"V-v-v-videl. I know it may be a little soon, and, I know we've just graduated high school and all but I really think we're meant to, y'know, be together." Gohan stammered. "W-w-will you, will you marry me?"
Videl smiled in disbelief as Gohan swallowed, awaiting her answer. She thought about it and just as she was about to open her mouth she heard a voice whisper from behind the door.
"Say yes."
It was Chi Chi.
"Chi Chi." Goku said. "Let her decide for herself."
"Say yes!" Goten screamed as Gohan got up and opened the door to see Chi Chi's hand firmly placed on Goten's mouth and Goku smiling sheepishly.
"Hi son. How's your day been so far?"
-
"I'm marrying into an interesting one." Videl said. "Come on let's go inside."
-
As the three walked in Goku was walking out of a room marked 'Dance' with a smile on his face.
"Wow, not only have I replaced my world literature class with Cooking but I replaced my advanced physics class with dance! I love this school!"
He walked up towards the door of his math class and knocked. Moments later a short man with no hair and thick glasses answered the door.
"May I help you? I'm in the middle of a class here."
"You must be Mr Matic." Goku said holding out his hand. "My name's Son-"
"I don't have time for your interruptions Son. I'm in the middle of a class." Mr Matic said slamming the door.
"Well, that wasn't very nice." Goku said walking back towards his room just as he was about to head down the stairs he saw the bathroom and the Pepsi and water he had drank earlier suddenly caught up to him. He ran into the bathroom just as Videl, Erasa and Sharpener walked up the stairs.
