Chapter Three
Gohan awoke to unfamiliar surroundings.
The cold hard ground and the sounds of animals were not the sound of waking up that he was used the last seven years.
As he slowly sat up he saw that he definitely wasn't in his room.
Trying to remember why he was here was difficult.
The last thing the teen remembered was passing out.
He could barely feel his limbs, which made standing up and getting home a strenuous venture.
With all his strength Gohan pushed off the ground, he made it up so he was vertical, but his legs buckled out from underneath him sending him flat on his face.
A groan of pain and disappointment escaped Gohan's lips as he rolled over to be faced with the dark sky.
After several more fatal attempts to get up the Demi-Saiyan finally stood up and made it into the air.
He had to be careful when flying, several times he wasn't paying attention and he almost fell out of the sky.
Gohan cursed himself several times for being as stupid as to try that to become and SS3 in the middle of nowhere, when he knew that he could not hold it for very long.
When Gohan finally made it home he opened the door very slowly and carefully.
He didn't want to face Bulma, she was probably worried sick about him.
Gohan's guess was right, indeed when he opened the door he was facing a very angry Bulma.
Gohan chuckled trying to make the situation easier, or somewhat humorous, but it was a misguided attempt.
Bulma glare sharpened, "You think this is funny," she snapped. Gohan gulped and shook his head.
"You've been gone for five hours! I was about to call the police, or get Piccolo, Vegeta, Trunks and Goten to go looking for you," Bulma shouted.
"Look, it's not like anything could have happened to me," Gohan muttered as he walked towards his room.
"Oh really?" Bulma asked. Gohan turned around a confused expression mixed with anger and frustration on his face.
"That's not what Vegeta told me when he felt your Ki disappear," Bulma exclaimed.
"So, what does that have to do with anything?" Gohan inquired sharply.
"You're forbidden to leave the house without my permission again, Gohan," Bulma snapped.
Gohan felt a sudden and unexpected wave of anger rush over him and barked, "Look, Bulma, you're not my mom, so stop trying to be, I can do what ever the hell I want so back off."
Bulma froze she said nothing else, she sat there dumbstruck as Gohan ran off to his room.
The slam of the door was the final blow to Bulma's heart.
In Gohan's room it was quiet.
The only sound was the water running in the bathroom.
Gohan had both his hands on either side of the sink, staring at his reflection. He had no idea why he snapped at Bulma, he felt so bad about hurting her feelings.
When she started talking like she was his mother he felt like she was replacing her.
Right now Gohan just hated the thought of them being brought up.
He felt guilt consume him whenever Goten asked about them or if they are even mentioned.
Gohan was definitely going to apologize tomorrow.
The next morning Goten and Trunks, oblivious to the episode last night sneaked into Gohan's room.
They slowly crept up to Gohan's bed.
Very slowly as they got closer and closer, then finally they pulled out the reason they trespassed into the teen Saiyan's room.
Two buckets full of ice water were clutched tightly in their grasp. When they made it up to Gohan's bed side they poured their buckets, immediately the contents splashed all over our poor Demi-Saiyan, his eyes shot open.
Besides the shouting and cursing coming from Gohan, the two boys, hidden in the closet were snickering at their handy work.
Their laughter quickly subsided when a very angry Gohan opened the closet door, dripping wet.
Before Goten or Trunks could run they were both grabbed by the collar of their shirts and held tightly by Gohan as he carried them down the hall.
Their pleas and apologies were ignored as they approached their destination. Gohan form of punishment this time was the GR; he walked all the way to the gravity changer and set it 1,000.
As soon as the gravity change initialized Gohan dropped the demon duo and casually exited leaving the two boys helpless trying to escape. Gohan passed Vegeta in the hall.
He cocked an eyebrow at Gohan wet appearance, Gohan's quiet response was point towards the GR. Vegeta understood right away, Goten and Trunks. Gohan proceeded to his next stop, the bathroom.
Discarding his wet clothes in the hamper next to the counter Gohan turned on the water.
As soon as it was at the right temperature Gohan stepped in.
After Gohan finished his shower he entered his room searching his dresser for some clothes to wear.
He picked out a pair of jeans, plaid boxers and a gray sleeveless shirt.
When Gohan went down stairs, he did it with caution, he knew Bulma was there and he needed to apologize.
Bulma was indeed in the kitchen, she was on the phone.
All the Demi-Saiyan heard was, "Alright, thank you, he'll be there on Monday." "Bulma," Gohan began as he entered the kitchen, "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have acted that way, it wasn't fair, I wasn't mad at you, it's just I felt bad about my parents…" Gohan stopped when he saw Bulma raise her hand up in the air.
"It's okay," Bulma grinned, "It's just I worry about you kid."
Gohan hugged Bulma in a caring way.
"You are like a mother to me Bulma," Gohan said into Bulma's ear. The blue haired scientist grinned, "Thanks kid."
After they parted Gohan walked towards the cupboard and pulled out a box of cereal, a gallon of milk and a huge metal bowl.
Plopping on a stool next to the counter the teen emptied all boxes of their content into the bowl, filling it to the brim and began shoveling it into his mouth with the huge cooking spoon.
"Gohan, I actually need to tell you something," Bulma stated jotting some notes into her memo book, "On Monday you're going somewhere."
"Wh're?" Gohan inquired, his muffled voice almost getting lost in translation. "To you new High School," Bulma explained, after no response from Gohan, Bulma turned around just in time to see the bowl fall out of Gohan's hands.
After cleaning up the mess he made, Gohan went back to his room to get changed.
The two of them were suppose to go shopping for school stuff. When the Demi-Saiyan began turning the knob of his door, he heard a voice down the hall, "There he is!"
Gohan turned around to see that Goten and Trunks had escaped from their punishment, and were seeking revenge on Gohan.
As the two boys charged at Gohan, the just stood there smugly, but when they were close enough, Gohan fazed out, sending them through the wall.
Our favorite Demi-Saiyan reappeared in the living room and could hear Bulma's reaction, "GOTEN, TRUNKS! YOU TWO ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!"
Gohan laughed in his head, he knew that they wouldn't be doing anything like that again soon, but once they were off their punishment, they would strike again.
Bulma then entered the living room with her handbag and a big pair of sunglasses on, "Let's go!" Gohan nodded and opened the door for her as they went off to the city.
Their first stop was to get school supplies they went into Binders (kind of pun on Staples®, I know really corny).
Inside there was wall to wall school supplies, Gohan had never seen so many pencils or pens in his life.
About ten minutes later the two exited the store with about five bags full of supplies.
"Do I really need all this stuff?" Gohan's muffled voice asked from behind the bags. "Maybe, half of it you'll probably lose," Bulma replied checking her PDA, "Next stop is Perfect Price (again another corny pun for Best Buy®)."
Gohan followed, he knew this was going to be a long day.
At Perfect Price Bulma bought Gohan a laptop and a cell phone. Next they went to the mall to buy some school clothes.
The day dragged on for hours, and Gohan couldn't wait to go home. He knew that this was the beginning of two years of hell.
A/N: I know not as long as I hoped, but I didn't want to combined two chapters that didn't make sense, but in the next Chapter Gohan and Videl do met. I hope you like it, it's a twist to their actual meeting like in the series but it's kind of close. I'm sorry about last Chapter, the part where Bulma and Gohan talk about the doctors is flashback, when I tried to fix one part I accidentally replaced that document, messing everything I fixed, but I shall fix it never fear. Please R&R, I hope you liked this Chapter!
