It was the last day of school before graduation at Orange Star High School. The seconds that ticked away seemed like forever for four certain students: Videl, Gohan, Sharpener and Erasa. They have been the best of friends throughout their high school lives, particularly for Videl, Sharpener and Erasa. They've known each other a lot longer than Gohan has seeing he had transferred into their school. At first, they had their doubts about him because he was…different from everybody else. But after that incident at the last tournament, they understood why he felt he had to keep his "gifts" a secret. But now as the school year ticked away, these four friends knew that a new adventure was about to begin. "Man, I wish that bell would hurry up and ring," Videl said as she watched the clock count down the last few minutes of the most boring class they've ever taken…history class. The others nodded in agreement, and before the teacher could retort Videl's comment that glorious sound they've waited for finally came. "We're out of here!" was the reply from the four friends as they raced to get to their lockers. "I can't believe that tomorrow we graduate and enter the real world," Sharpener said with a smile. "Yeah, I know what you mean. We've worked so hard to get our grades right so we can graduate," said Erasa as they all stopped at their respective lockers. "I think we know who we owe it all to help us out," Videl said as she glanced at Gohan who had started blushing. He knew she meant him and couldn't help but to blush at her compliment.
"So what do you guys want to do tonight to celebrate our graduating from high school?" Erasa asked as they walked out of the doors of OSHS one last time. Sharpener replied, "I'm up for anything really, but Gohan did have something to show just us that was going to be a surprise after graduation." Gohan had a look of shock on his face, "Aww Sharpener, I was hoping to wait until after the ceremony tomorrow. It took me forever to get to that point." They all knew Gohan was a Super Saiyan, but the surprise he was referring to was one thing that only Sharpener knew about. "What's wrong with giving us a hint of your surprise Gohan?" Videl asked him as they walked to the soda shop. "Is it really that embarrassing for you?" Gohan began to scratch the back of his head as his father did so many times before. "No, it's not that. I just wanted to show you guys what it was over at my place since it wouldn't cause so much commotion," he said as they arrived. Erasa had an idea on what it could be, "Is it about your powers, Gohan? You developed something new, didn't you?" As he drank his soda, Gohan nodded in response to her question, which Videl finally got wide-eyed at what it could be, but kept it to herself. "Well, nerd, I'm sure that whatever you have to show us, I'm sure you worked really hard to get it right," she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder. Gohan smiled as they sat down to take a breather from the heat. But something was troubling Videl as she slumped in her chair opposite Erasa and next to Gohan & Sharpener. "Is something wrong Videl? Normally, you'd be stoked about graduating tomorrow," Erasa asked as she was like a sister to Videl. She sighed heavily, as the news she was about to bring up would make some serious changes to their group of friends. "My dad is sending me to some remote training facility where I would have no contact with the outside world…which means no way to get in touch with you guys," she said sadly. Everyone at the table was in shock to hear this news since they all agreed to stay in touch no matter where they went to in the world. "That's not fair at all. I mean, we know that Mr. Satan means well, but this is a bit much," Gohan said since the two of them developed a great friendship. "I know, and I even tried talking him out of sending me, but Dad already finalized the whole thing," Videl said as she rested her head on the table. Sharpener said, "This just ruins our whole plan of keeping in touch with each other over the summer. But maybe you can find some way to keep in touch without him knowing?"
Before the day ended, the four friends devised a way for Videl to keep in touch with them all despite the remote location. Her watch would be used as a secret communication device that would be linked to each of their phones, but for Gohan it was something different. He had taught Videl how to communicate with her mind, and she had taken advantage of that during those boring lectures they would sit through in different classes. Now it would be put to the test as she was gearing up for this not-so-fun trip. Since Erasa and Sharpener lived near the shop, Videl went with Gohan back to his place to say her goodbyes. As they flew together, her skills at flying had gotten much better, and she even improved at moving fast just like he can. "Hey Gohan, can I ask you something kind of…personal?" Her question caused him to stop in midair because she usually talked about personal things with Erasa. "Well, sure Videl. What's on your mind?" he asked as they stopped. She floated up to him, and gave him the biggest hug that anyone could give a person…and cried in his chest. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes as she cried her feelings, "As much as my dad wants me to go, I don't want to leave you guys behind for a year or more. I'd miss you guys too much. And I'd especially miss you, Gohan. You've taught me so much, and brought me into a world that until now I never knew existed. To be separated from this new world and you would be a disaster." Gohan just hugged her back knowing that she meant every word of it. "When you come back from your training," he said as he pulled back slightly to look into her cool blue eyes, "we'll all get together and reminisce about what we did in that year's time. I'll never forget the day you found out about me being Saiyaman and asked me to teach you to fly afterwards. You were the best student I ever taught to fly, and hopefully I'll be able to teach you more about your energy."
The smile on her face told him that she couldn't wait that long to learn, so she had another idea. "Can you at least teach me one thing before graduation tomorrow? I want to learn something that will make a serious impact," she said as she smiled at Gohan. He nods in her favor as he points to a familiar spot to her…it was where she learned her first flying lesson. "So tell me…what are you going to teach me here, Gohan?" she asked once they landed. That peculiar smile came to his face as he turned to face her. "All right, Videl," he said, "first things first. I want you to focus your energy until you see a glow surrounding your body. You know, like I do when I power up." Videl nodded as she began to focus her power, and it didn't take long for her to gain the glow that Gohan was looking for. "OK, Gohan, I have it now. What's next on the list?" she asked as he admired her skills. He takes a stance cocking his hands to his side, and motions for her to do the same. "Now, as you focus your power, you're going to say the name of the technique as you prepare it," he said. She nodded and also cocked her hands to her side mirroring Gohan. "You mean like this Gohan?" she asked. "Yes, that's right Videl. Now, I want you to say it with me since it will be your first time using this move," he said. She nodded, and was ready to release her first-ever energy blast. They spoke together in unison, "Ka…Me…Ha…Me…" Soon a blue ball of energy began to crackle in their hands, which for Videl was something completely new to her. Their target was a nearby mountain that was facing them, and it wasn't long for Videl to start trembling a bit because it was overwhelming. Gohan called out as did Videl, "HA!" They release their respective blasts and decimate the mountain in front of them, leaving nothing but rubble in their wake. When it was over, Videl fell to her knees from exhaustion after firing her first Kamehameha wave. Gohan walked over to her and knelt by her side. "You did great Videl. Now you have something new in your arsenal of skills. At this rate, you'll be able to do small blasts while learning to control the Kamehameha," he said as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Thanks Gohan. You've done a lot for me as far as energy training…and for being a great friend," Videl said as she looked up at him then did something he never expected. She kissed him on his cheek, and began to float into the air. "I'll see you tomorrow at graduation, Gohan. Promise me that you'll never forget me," she said before she took off. "There's no way I'll ever forget you, Videl. You're a part of me, just like Sharpener and Erasa. You guys are the best," Gohan said as he also headed to his house. The two went their separate ways, and Videl wondered if her friendship with Gohan was leading to something more. All she knew was that after tomorrow, they would embark on a whole new adventure that will take their breath away.
