[1-2] Author's Notes

*****

"Enter." Commanded Mrs. Chestnut.

The door was opened and a young officer entered the room, he quickly examined the room. He spotted the name 'Mrs. Chestnut' on the board. Then his eyes came upon the teacher and he quickly pulled his hat off his head. "I'm sorry to bother your class, Mrs. Chestnut, but I was told to rush this right over to Miss Satan." He waved the manila file folder with the police logo

Mrs. Chestnut turned to Videl. "Miss Satan will you please deal with this quickly."

"Yes, Mrs. Chestnut." Videl said as she rushed down to officer.

"Did you read this?" Videl asked.

"No, I was told to rush this to you right away." The officer answered.

"If that is all, then you can go." Mrs. Chestnut dismissed the officer as she turned back to the class looking directly at Gohan. "Miss Satan please return to your seat now."

"Yes, Mrs. Chestnut." The look the teacher gave Gohan had not gone unnoticed. ~Why did she look at Gohan?~

"I don't know why she looked at me."

"But, I didn't say anything out loud," Videl paused, "I was thinking it." Videl's voice quickly went from confused to angry.

"Is there a problem?" Mrs. Chestnut demanded.

"Yes, there is. Gohan is invading my mind." 

Mrs. Chestnut simply raised a single eyebrow. "Your mind? I think, Miss Satan, you need to stay after school today and work out your issues with Mr. Son."

"What?" The two choked but were cut off by the bell.

The class, seeing the clear and present danger instantly made for the door, leaving the three. "This is all your fault Son Gohan!" Videl yelled as she stormed out.

"Why did you do that?" Gohan asked.

"So you and I can be there to tell her that you made a fool out of her."

"Thank you." Gohan answered as he picks up his stuff and leaves.

Gohan managed to keep clear of Videl and her blonde buddies till lunch. Gohan sat on the roof over the group, consuming his massive lunch, following the conversation for the first time.

"Gohan, have the fish taken the bait?" 18 asked as she sat down at Gohan's picnic table.

"No, they haven't touched it. Sharpener's drooling is alternating between you and the mustang. Erasa is gushing over your suit. Videl is pissed off at me."

"Ugh, that sharpener is just nauseating." 18 stated as she released her lunch capsule revealing… a brown paper bag.

Gohan couldn't help but snicker at the bag.

"What?" 18 asked in a serious voice.

Gohan reached over the picnic table that his lunch had once sat on, and turned the bag around revealing a heart drawn on the bag with red crayon.

18 could not help but to smile at the special meal that had been lovingly prepared for her. She opened the bag to find a bottle of water, two apples and a ham sandwich made the way she liked with lettuce and a slice of tomato with mustard and mayo spread on both pieces of bread. At the bottom of the bag was a folded piece of paper; she unfolded the paper to find a drawing by Marron of the pink Kame-house with her and Krillin with Marron between them with Roshi and Turtle off to the side.

"I love my family." 18 said revealing the human side of her as she passed the artwork to Gohan.

Gohan smiled at the paper, "I enjoy it when Goten sends me pictures too." Gohan looked at the picture again, "Is it me or does the picture looks to scale?" [1]

"I don't care, it's going on the wall in my classroom." 18 replied flatly. "You like Videl, don't you." 18 said as more of a statement then a question.

"What, no of course not! How could I?" Gohan stammer out. "Do you remember who her father is?" Gohan finished.

"It is just us up here and I will not tell a living soul, I promise."

Gohan looked down to check to see if their presence up on the roof had been noticed. "Huh, yah I do. I mean she reminds of Mom, Vegeta and you."

18 simply raised one eyebrow.

"She seems to be able to order me around, she has an attitude, and she has an independence that reminds me of you."  Gohan answered the eyebrow. "She doesn't me like at all, I'm sort of verbal punching bag."

"Are you sure?" 18 asked.

"Remember homeroom?"

"Clearly." 18 smiled.

"Erasa finished her meal of a tofu cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato and a powerbar, washed down by a bottle of water. [2] "Hey, let's see what Gohan's police file shows."

Videl slid the file to the blond girl. "Read it out loud." Videl said as she reached for the rest of her meatball sub.

"Ok." Erasa said as she opened the file, "Let's see, it says here Gohan is believed to be a high ranking member of the Demon King gang, they it think he is the number two man. He was charged with four charges of assault and battery, the victims couldn't get their story straight and they were dropped. There is a charge of assault with intent to kill, but he was acquitted do to the lack of evidence." Erasa paused for a slip of water, "Here we go, one charge of murder in the first degree, the body of Mr. Garlic Jr. could not be found and there was the lack of evidence so the investigation was dropped. A dismissed charge of fraud but there are not details about it." She said as she flipped through the pages, "There some misdemeanor charges here like indecent exposure and public nudity." She looked up to the faces of her shocked and dumbfounded friends.

"Good God." Sharpener muttered.

"I don't think God has anything to do with this good or not." Videl spoke up.

"I'm actually scared of Gohan now." Erasa said, a little green around the gills. "He's like those serial killers you hear about. You know the woman next door would always say, 'He was a good boy, quiet and helpful. He built this dog house for Rover.' and she would point to a cute little dog house."

"Maybe it's wrong, they might have gotten the paperwork screwed up." Videl said. "I will contact the Chief right now." Videl activated the link on the wrist radio. "Chief, the file you sent me, there seems to be some errors in it."

"It should be correct." The chief replied back.

"Bring it up on your computer, and we will double check it."  Videl ordered.

"One second." Was the reply.

*****

"Public nudity, indecent exposure, was that really necessary?" Gohan asked.

"I was having fun there with some atypical charges in the misdemeanors." 18 answered.

"Maybe I should go down there and give them a scare?"

"Nothing like stirring the pot." 18 remarked as she chewed on her apple.

Gohan stepped up to the edge of the building and look around to see of someone might be looking, seeing nobody and the three victims focused on the bait, Gohan phased in behind the trio. "Hey guys, how was your lunch, what did the chief mean by no mistake" Gohan spoke up making sure that he would be heard.

Erasa and Sharpener jumped a good two feet in the air at the sound of his voice and even Videl was off her guard.

"Huh, hi yah Gohan. I wish I could sit and talk, but I got to… go get my books for geometry, yah." Sharpener said as grabbed his geometry book.

"What are you reading Erasa?" Gohan asked but he already knew the answer.

Erasa slammed shut the file and grabbed her books,  "Sorry, Gohan, I got to talk to Sharpener, bye." Erasa said over her shoulder as she ran to join Sharpener.

"Are you going to finish your meatball sub, Videl?"

"No, you can have it I got to go as well." She grabbed her bag and started to leave.

"Oh, Videl, you left something."  Gohan called out as waved the manila folder in the air.

"Thanks." she grabbed the file and made a hasty retreat.
