Gohana stood in the boxing ring, staring over at Hercule, looking very awkward. Hercule also stood in the ring, looking very nervous, like a deer in a headlight. Neither of them moved.
"Oh for fucks sake dad just try hitting her at least!" Videl finally spoke up, grown tired of them both just standing there. Though she understood Gohana not moving.
"Can...I even do that?" he asked nervously.
"Well if it helps, it wont hurt me if you did punch me." Gohana tried helping him.
Hercule just nodded, and nervously took a few steps towards Gohana and threw a punch. Gohana barely even twisted her torso slightly as Hercules fist missed her. He got a little thrown off balance but was able to very quickly catch himself. He nervously tried throwing another punch, which Gohana just tilted her head to the side.
Hercule knew this wouldn't be easy, but he didn't think she would so casually be able to move. He was used to people avoiding his strikes by moving their entire body far out of the way. Gohana barely moved and he clearly missed. Was this real? Was this some nightmare? He looked back over at Videl, and anger still on her face. No, this wasnt a dream, he'd never dream her being so mad at him.
"Videl, why exactly is he trying to hit me?" Gohana asked more out of confusion than worry, as she still effortlessly just moved out of the way.
"I just want him to realize how wrong he is. He couldn't even hit me at this point, and I couldn't even hit you."
"Wait, you're training Videl?" Hercule stopped.
"Yeah, thats how she can use ki and fly. Its so she can be safer fighting crime. That and she wanted to learn."
"Ki?" Hercule said confused. He was still a little shell-shocked from earlier.
Gohana held her palm up and a ki ball appeared in her palm.
"You might know it as a light trick." Gohana refered to it as what he lied and had been calling it for years. Though she stated it without mallice, more matter of factly.
"It's not a trick dad. Even you could learn it." Videl told him.
"Wait, what? I could?"
"Everyone has ki, technically even a non martial artist could also learn it. Though honeslty martial arts does actually develop it innately. Your ki is about four times stronger than an average human."
"Four times huh? Well what would you expect! I am..." Hercule started boasting, before quickly catching himself.
"Is that a lot?" he asked.
Gohana just nervously smiled, having no clue how to answer.
"Gohana said my ki was already five times stronger than average when she started training me. And now that I can control and sense it, its probably about fifty times stronger than i was then."
"Fifty? You're that much stronger now?" Hercule sounded more proud than anything, then turned back to Gohana.
"What about you, Gohana? How much stronger than average are you?"
Gohana just rubbed her neck with a nervous smile.
"From what I've felt just as she is right now, at least billions of times stronger than me. And she can get exponentially stronger still." Videl answered as she did have more a context than Gohana as it was hard for Gohana to compare herself to them.
Hercules' eyes nearly bugged out as he just stared at Gohana in total shock. How could anyone be that strong! Granted Cell barely touched him and sent him out of the ring all those years ago, and he saw Gohana as a little girl easily fighting him when she went all berserk.
"I guess I really am a fraud." Hercule sulked and looked utterly defeated.
"No, not really." Gohana sakd and crossed her arms.
"While you lied, you are probably one of the strongest non ki users. So in the eyes of basically everyone not really." Gohana said.
"But, how can you forgive me for lying so easily?" Hercule asked still confused about that.
"As was said, I didnt...well, I couldn't mently handle the stress. You stealing it actually took all the attention away from me. Even Videl here figured the truth out somewhat before she meet me. Though she couldn't do much about it. All you honestly had to do was look at what Cell did and connect it with the old Budokais my family were involved in and the Saiyan attack years ago?"
"Saiyan?" Hercule asked confused.
Gohana hadn't meant to actually call it that as it wasn't referred to publicly that way. Granted it was on the news, Yajirobi spilled the beans back then. Honestly it confused her how anyone did believe Hercule given how world wide the Budokai was watched, and Vegeta and Nappas initial attack on earth technically being common knowledge. Minus the smaller details of course.
"That supposed alien invasion when I was five." Videl reminded him.
"Wait, that was you guys?" Hercule asked, Gohana nodding.
"We protect the Earth. Though initially it was all because we were martial artists and wanted to improve. And thats actually still the case. But in the back of our minds we're somewhat also preparing in case something happens again. Luckily Cell was the last threat."
"So, you're working to keep the Earth safe? Like a super hero?"
"I guess. But mainly for me personally, I kept up my training because i was too soft. I didnt want to lose anyone else again because I was too scared and weak to fight. And I have people I want to protect." Gohana said and glanced over to Videl unintentionally.
Hercule noticed this and looked over to Videl, and he saw the truest smile on her face as she looked back at Gohana
.
"So, I guess I really can trust you with my baby girl. Just promise me you wont let anything happen to her! She's already fighting crime and I worry. But if she now helps defend the Earth...well...I just cant loss her too." Hercule looked down at the ground.
Gohana knew what he meant. She remembered Videl telling her about what happened to her mother, he couldn't go through that again with Videl. But Gohana understood all too well. She lost her father because of her actions.
"They'd have to kill me before I ever let someone hurt my loved ones." Gohana said somewhat under her breath, her mind immediately going back to last week, where that did almost happen.
Hercule and Videl though both heard this though, Videl blushing and Hercule just smiling.
"You know, I am sorry for what I did. I truly am. But knowing my little girl is in such capable hands. I honestly can't refuse. Though I never thought she'd fall for a girl. Uh, no offense meant Gohana. But just surprising is all." Hercule immediately tried backpedaling in case he said something wrong.
"No offense taken, it kinda took us both by surprise as well." Gohana just blushed a little bit. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything." She smiled.
Videl and Gohana just walked throuth the city blocks. While it was getting a tad late, Gohana didn't mind one bit. Neither did Videl. She was only a short walk from her place, and Gohana could easily make the trip home in less than half an hour if needed. Also Chichi was used to Gohana being gone anyway, so as long as she was at home at some point it didn't bother her too much.
"Thanks for coming to see my dad with me." Videl finally spoke up after walking in silence.
"No worries there, as I said I was already curious as to why anyway." Gohana replied.
They kept walking as the sun was very slowly setting. They could notice the streets becoming slowly less filled, most likely from people having already gotten home from work and were no longer outside. Still, Videl and Gohana enjoyed each others company. They were still a new couple afterall, and were getting used to the idea. Though it wasn't like either of them were even willing to have it any other way at this point. They were both long past that. But it was still a tad new. Gohana nervously glanced down and reached towards Videl's hand, gently taking it in her own. Videl noticed this as her face went a tad red, and she happily took it.
"So now that our friends know, how long do you think until the whole school knows?" Videl finally asked to Gohana's confusion.
"Why would the whole school even know?" she asked.
"I'm unfortunately the most famous person in the city, and well known across the world. Of course the school will eventually find out." Videl pointed out to Gohana.
Gohana just thought about it. She didn't really think that much about it prior. Though it didn't really matter all that much to her now either, but it was still worth maybe thinking about. She really thought about it, what others at school would think, but she very quickly stopped bothering. All that mattered to her was her own feelings, and Videl's. Her family was a close second in her mind about this and they all supported her. Vegeta almost aggressively supportive. Though she figured that was down to him being not willing to risk her going berserk with the Saiyan bonding process he briefly told her about. She should probably ask him about that when they sparred tomorrow. From what little he had told her, Saiyan bonding wasn't too far off from her own hyper protectiveness and rage boosts. Maybe they were linked? Though she had a deep gut feeling it was pure coincidence her human side and Saiyan bonding her strikingly similar to one another.
"I don't care. I almost lost you already. I don't care what anyone else thinks. Besides, everyone at the school seems to think I'm already stronger than you are anyway. What are they gonna do about it?" She asked more so hypothetically.
"Well, get ready for questions when the school finds out." Videl playfully warned her.
Gohana just blushed a little bit and smiled. She would go through hell for Videl.
"Well I have at least a day to figure it out." she spoke her mind.
"Huh, a day?" Videl asked confused and looked up at her.
"Oh, right. I'm not going to be at school tomorrow. I have a meeting at work." Gohana answered.
Videl knew Gohana worked, but missing school because of it? Knowing Chichi, she was cool with it. And she did work at Capsule Corp., which meant she would have have be at meetings.
"Oh, is it bad?"
"No, just someone's annoyed I modified their thing to make it better. It's fine though, nothing much ever happens. Most likely they'll just ask some questions and it will be fine. Most people seem pretty happy with my changes in the end."
"So this happens often?" Videl asked worried
"Yeah, often enough but they're never mad, usually excited!" Gohana smiled.
"How the hell can you just change it!"
Gohana just sat there trying to keep as straight a face as possible. Though it was clear to the other members present she was annoyed as they knew her.
"And how can you possibly be the expert! You arrived nearly fifteen minutes late, and you didn't didn't bother fixing that bed hair! I expected you to be a professional. This is Capsule Corp!"
Gohana just looked dumbfounded, did he seriously thought her hair was simply bedhead?
"I'd suggest calming down. She was only trying to help your design stand out more as that's her job." one of the older gentleman tried calming him down, seated at the head of the meeting table.
Gohana was always glad that once the board members saw just how much she could help, they basically gave her whatever leeway she wanted. And this was even before they found out she was part of Bulma's family.
"I was told it was being looked at by Mrs. Briefs herself. How did this child become involved and become the head of the project here?"
"I looked over your design, project JP-198076. The propulsion system was supposed to become more efficient leading to faster speed. I modified the angles in a very specific way to not only increase speed, but improve its efficiency as well to allow even better performance with the smallest tweak." Gohana flatly spoke.
He was looking at her in surprise, she hadn't even looked at the folder that contained what the project in question was. How did she know the project number off the top of her head? He barely even knew it and it was his!
"Your design was good but it wasn't enough to stand out against other systems as the increase wasn't drastic enough. Now, because of my small tweak in its design, it's been getting more attention before it's even officially released." Gohana flatly continued.
"That...still doesn't change the fact you are acting very unprofessional! You show up late and don't look like a professional."
Her hair was still in a braid, what else could she do? Still, she understood people being confused by her hair. Even when it had been short, people were mesmerized by it.
"I am literally wearing the same design as half the members present just smaller. It naturally looks this way and no one else has an issue with it. And as for being late...Well..." Gohana stopped. "Trunks kinda got involved."
"Ah, that explains why you got here a tad late. We were curious about that " someone spoke up, Gohana typically being early.
"Yeah, he was hiding from Bulma for some reason, but I didn't get a straight answer as to why." Gohana followed up.
"That doesn't change the fact you were late!" he tried once again.
Gohana glared back at him. Sure she had gotten some push back before due to her age and she was used to that. But he was being unreasonable.
"Well if you don't like the modifications I made, I'm sure I can take the changes and help someone else. Though we will have to cut all the contracts that had been in talks for the design. Im sure they'll understand the design is no longet valid for us to license it out to them. Im sure you'll find someone else to take a look at it." Gohana said trying to keep her voice professional.
He suddenly stopped and just stared at her, unsure what to even say.
"Well, I guess we are at an impasse. If you don't like the changes that were made, we will return the original documents Mrs. Son worked on, and we will refund you the money. Gohana, do you think you could go get the original documents? I'm sure you know exactly where they are."
"Yes, they're in my filing cabinet in my office. It should only take a few minutes for me to fetch them." Gohana stood up to go get them.
"Wait, your...Son Gohana?" he looked in shock, the Board supervisor just smiling
"Huh? Um, yes?" Gohana looked back at him, now confused. "You know my name? We only just meet?"
"You tend to underestimate how well known you are in this industry, Gohana."
Great, this was the last thing Gohana wanted. Though at least here she was more okay with being known as she wanted to do this officially as her job. She was far more okay with this than being acknowledged as Earths savior or a Princess. Even though she was both of those as well.
"Yes, I do. You're a prodigy! In just five years you've done more than most do their entire lives in this industry!"
Gohana immediately felt his tone shift. Well at least he was being polite, if overly polite. She didn't think her name would be the one to change his mind, but she was glad it worked out.
"Still going to give me attitude?" Gohana asked, really only caring he be polite.
"No, of course! I'm sorry! I was under the impression you were just some intern. I'll happily look over the modifications you made!" he bowed and quickly spoke.
Gohana had the biggest confused look on her face.
'Wait, what the hell? He didn't even look at the changes I made?'
"Well as long as that's settled, let's resume this meeting shall we?" Gohana just looking over and nodding and sat back down not about to argue with the head chairman.
Gohana stayed back a little bit to talk about some last minute details with everyone. After everything calmed down, the meeting had gone a lot smoother. And everyone was happy as well.
Once everyone left, Gohana finally took her jacket off and just carried it. She still hated wearing a suit, bit at least the shirt she wore under it didn't matter. So a simple sleeveless shirt that looked nice always did the trick. And she even had her sparing shorts and sports bra on underneath. She had to admit, saiyan armor cloth was sure something!
Taking a big stretch overhead, Gohana noticed it was barely noon. She didn't know how long the meeting was going to take so she didn't plan for anything the rest if the day other than go finding Vegeta afterwards. He at least knew better than to expect a time over the years.
Looking around, she felt Trunks and Vegeta were together, most likely training in the gravity chamber. It wasn't often she felt that so she headed in that direction. She didn't plan on stopping them, but she did want to check on Vegeta's progress towards truly mastering Super Saiyan 2. She could tell he spend a day and a half in the time chamber, and since then she hasn't felt his usual training energy either. Maybe he was really taking what he said to heart. She can wait to spar until they were done.
Turning the corner deep in thought, she didn't notice she ran into someone until they were already on the ground. Looking down she saw her lab assistant on the ground.
"Mary, are you okay? Sorry I was deep in thought." reaching down and offering her hand.
Mary rubbed her face having walked right into her as her face was in pain a bit, taking the hand offered.
"I swear Gohana, you're a brick wall. No, a brick wall would just shatter if it hit you. I don't even know what you are." she let go of her nose, glad it wasn't bleeding.
Gohana just nervouely laughed a little bit.
"Anyway what are you doing? I'm guessing you were in a hurry?" Gohana asked.
"Actually Gohana, I need your help!" Mary clapped her hands together above her head.
"Oh, okay. Um can't one of the other engineers help you though?" Gohana asked confused.
"Well...the thing is I'd need you specifically. I don't dare to ask Vegeta when he's in the training room."
"Oooh, sure." Gohama immediately understood roughly what she wanted. Though the specifics didn't matter too much.
Mary lead Gohana through a few halls and arrived at her office. Walking in, Gohana saw a few other works there, though she didn't know them by name specifically as they weren't in her department. Lots of people used the lab for different things.
"Hey guys, can you give as a few moments please?" Mary asked then.
They looked up from what they were doing and immediately nodded. They spent a few minutes saving their work before heading out. They were using to Gohana doing work and needing secrecy. It actually wasn't too uncommon some of the other head scientists would need privacy, so this didn't seen odd to anyone.
"So what did you need?" Gohana asked once they left.
"Well, I was cleaning my hands and my wedding ring fell under one if the machines. Do you think you could help me get it?" She asked sheepishly and pointed to one of them.
"Um I could, yeah. But couldn't you have just gotten a heavy lifting crane?" Gohana asked and walked over to it. "Or just used a stick to fish it out?"
Gohana looked over the machine, realizing it was probably best to lift it up directly from the center to avoid it getting crushed under its own weight.
"Well the floor under there is depressed, so a stick wouldn't work. And the machines weren't available for a week."
"Oh, I guess it's a good thing we ran into each other then." Gohana bent down and lifted up the machine about a foot off the ground.
Mary quickly got down next to Gohana and quickly retrieved her ring with a light squeal.
"Thank you Gohana! I was to scared to ask Vegeta for help." Mary immediately put the ring back on her finger as Gohana put the machine back down gently.
"Vegeta I get, but why not ask Trunks? He likes to be helpful and it more than strong enough as well." Gohana asked confused.
"Bulma asked me to try not to rely on him because he can't keep his mouth shut."
Gohana couldn't help bit laugh a little bit at that as she knew exactly what Trunks was like.
"And even if I ran into Vegeta in the hallway, I'd be to scared to ask him. He's in the gravity room now though."
"Yeah, I felt him and Trunks and guessed they were there"
Mary adjusted her glasses and looked at Gohana.
"I take it you and Vegeta are going to do some sparring again? Can you try to not overload the gravity room at least? Last time you guys damaged it so bad I was stuck having to pull an all nighter fixing it!"
"Oh, sorry. I thought we had reinforced it."
"Not then, no. But you're damn sure we had the reinforcements installed afterwards. Speaking of, how are they holding up on your portable one with the new raised gravity limit?"
"Well, so far pretty good. The new limit doesn't seem to be effecting it. Although I haven't had a chance to even spar with anyone yet because no one else can handle it yet."
"Yeah that makes sense. Man, you Saiyans are amazing. Well, thank you again Gohana. I think I'll let you get to Vegeta. I have to get some work taken care of before heading home."
Gohana made her way to the gravity room, noticing the "in use" warning light was on. Bulma had it installed in case anyone needed to go in, they could see if it was safe. Without even hitting the override button, she just opened the door and walked in.
She saw Vegeta in his base form dodging a flurry of punches and a few kicks from Trunks who was in Super Saiyan. Gohana wasn't sure if she should butt in so she just leaned against the wall and watched.
"You'd better try harder than that if you expect to hit me!" Vegeta scowled at him.
"It's not my fault you're so much stronger than me!" Trunks retorted without slowing down.
"No, its my fault now fucking try harder!" Vegeta barked back.
This threw Gohana off, and though she didn't say anything, she couldn't suppress a slight "huh" from Vegeta's remark. Vegeta didn't notice this, but Trunks did, as he could see her.
"Oh, hey Gohana." Trunks said and stopped his assault.
"Ha, nice try boy but I won't fall for such a simple trick like that!" Vegeta smirked.
"Yeah, about that." Gohana said.
Vegeta turned around, not believing she was actually there and wasn't just a trick. Turning back around, Vegeta barely had time to react as Trunk's fist grazed his cheek, but absolutely made contact. Vegeta just stared in disbelief as Trunks was celebrating. Vegeta just scoffed angrily and slammed his fist into Trunks, sending him flying across the gravity room.
"Oww, what the heck dad! That was a cheap shot!"
"So was trying to distract me!"
"Ah come on Vegeta, all's fair in love and war." Gohana teased him a bit.
"Stay out of this!" He barked back at her before turning back to Trunks, crossing his arms. "Gaaah, just go get changed. I need a few minutes with Gohana."
"Ah, alright!" Trunks immediately forgot the pain in his face and quickly headed out, waving to Gohana as he passed.
"So, what was that about?" Gohana asked.
Vegeta just looked a tad nervous and turned the other way and huffed. Gohana just blinked a few times and then smirked. She'd learned Vegeta's mannerisms over the years.
"Spill it."
"I told him if he can punch me in the face just once I'd take him to the theme park."
"Oh, wait really? You? At a theme park?" Gohana could barely get out with a straight face, but ultimately she broke down into a fit of laughter. Just imagining Vegeta standing in the packed lines and sitting in a roller coaster with his arms crossed annoyed.
"Oh shut the fuck up!" Vegeta snapped.
"I see that stupid meeting of yours ended." he finally spoke up again after a few moments of silence.
"So been a little bit, you had some time in the chamber."
"I thought it was only fair knowing you'd spent a year and a half in there."
"Wouldn't expect something less from you. So how was it?"
"It was fucking horrible! Piccolo made me do almost nothing but meditation exercises the entire time. I barley had time for real training outside the sparring we did."
"But you did it." Gohana flatly said.
Vegeta didn't answer for a short time. He just stood there with his arms crossed refusing to talk
"So did you master it?" Gohana finally asked getting tired of the silence.
Vegeta didn't say anything but just smirked. He just stood there with his arms crossed, not moving. His black hair slowly shifted to to blond and stood up a bit more. Gohana just smiled.
"As if there was any doubt!" Vegeta said with such confidence.
"Smart using the time chamber to catch up. I guess we can start the real meditation training."
"What, that wasn't even the start?" Vegeta turned around in shock.
"Hey, you have proof standing right in front of you it works." Gohana just held her arms out slightly for effect.
"Just trust me, we wouldn't put you through that for no reason. And when sparring, did Piccolo hold his own against you?"
Vegeta was a little taken back by this question. He was almost ashamed he couldn't handle Piccolo at all in his base, and even as a Super Siayn Piccolo was still slightly the stronger. And even in Super Saiyan 2 Piccolo could still give hima devent fight, but only barely barely. He had to go 2 just to beat Piccolo!
"Piccolo also trains this way, that's how he can keep up with us so well. Well, me for sure. And sicne I'm stronger than you, he's more used to fighting me." Gohana pointed out, hoping that would shock Vegeta into being even more open to the new training.
Vegeta just looked annoyed now, or at least more annoyed than he was before. But he swallowed his pride. He had learned to trust Gohana when it comes to training. After all, he couldn't deny her becoming his rival since her father's death. And actually learning from her has done nothing but make him stronger faster than ever! Even if it made her even strong we as well.
"Fine, but can we start tomorrow? I have somewhere to be."
Vegeta didn't even bother to wait for a response as he just walked out of the chamber. He ignored Gohana just smirking innocently at him. He hated that she could get under his skin so easily! Must have learned it from Bulma, but he liked that about Bulma specifically. How she had the guts to stand up to him. Though he would never admit that to her. Gohana being able to do it just annoyed him because she was also stronger.
'Hmmph, must be why she fell for that human.'
Gohana was gathering her things when her phone started buzzing. Reaching into her pocket she noticed it was her mom.
"Hey mom, everything alright?" she asked.
"Sweety are you still at Capsule Corp? Can you get to Raina and Gotens school?"
"Yeah, my meeting ended and my training with Vegeta got postponed. Is everything alright?"
"Raina got into a fight."
Gohana actually droped her phone in surprise but was able to catch it.
"What, they're not hurt are they?"
Gohana knew damn well Raina was fine, and more worried about whoever picked a fight with her.
"Yeah, just head over now. I cant get there anytime soon unfortunately."
Gohana sat next to Raina and felt sorry for her. Raina just trying to hold in her crying as she held onto the lock of hair that was cut off. Though it was more than just a lock, it was the braid she had learned to do because Gohanas braid. it was almost half her hair cut off.
"Luckily the student who did it is alright, and luckily a teacher and every student around said he deserved it. Just some minor bruises."
"Im sorry she caused a little scene. And thanks for letting us know. And for letting her come home early." Gohana bowed while in her chair.
"Given how hard she was tearing up, it's obvious this is devastating for her. The least we can do is let her head home early. Your mother said Goten will be going home with Trunks today as well."
Gohana nodded, glad their mom had taken care of everything over the phone as she was walking home from getting food.
"So what happened to the person who cut her hair?"
"Well, seeing as he was slammed into the wall, and in shock, we felt he was punished. He seemed really in shock honestly to the point he hasn't talked to anyone."
Gohana just nodded and looked back down to Raina. She placed her hand on her shoulder, causing Raina to jolt out of her trance and look up at her.
"You ready to go home?" She asked softly.
Raina just nodded and looked back down at her severed braid, and slowly got up to follow Gohana.
The flight back took longer than expected. Partially due to they meet up with Chichi midway, but also Raina was flying even slower than Kintoun. Chichi had spent a good half hour fixing up Raina's hair. She may not like it just past her shoulder, but at least it should be even. Chichi even trimmed her wild bangs, though she only shortened them a bit. She didn't want to suddenly change it any more than it forcefully was. Now Raina was alone in the gravity chamber, getting her frustration out by training.
"I feel so bad for Raina, to have her hair taken like that." Gohana said, sensing Raina's chaotic ki spikes from the kitchen.
"Well she's literally spent her whole life growing it out because she loves yours so much." Chichi stirred the food that was simmering.
Gohana just kept cracking the chestnuts for what Chichi was making, and making a huge mess on her hands. Though she was careful to no crush the actual nut in her hands. She was just busy trying to think of how to help Raina feel better.
"Sweety, why are you cracking so many? I only needed half the bowl." Chichi finally asked having glanced over. Gohana looked and noticed the bowl was nearly overflowing.
"Oh, sorry mom. Guess I was preoccupied."
"You want to help Raina feel better, don't you." Chichi asked, more as a statement.
"Well, yeah. Of course I do."
"Why don't you go help her train?" Chichi asked seriously.
"No, she needs to blow off some steam. Besides, it feels like she just wants to beat something up." Gohana guessed from how Raina's ki felt.
"And how would she do that by herself?" Chichi asked, knowing Gohana and Piccolo never taught the tri form technique to the kids.
"Its not that hard to let off steam training solo." Gohana pointed out. "I basically did that non stop when I started my training back up."
"And you nearly killed yourself numerous times and worried me to death!" Chichi spat out.
"This is different and you know it!" Gohana defended herself, though knowing she didn't need to.
"I know sweety. I just don't like seeing any if you so sad. And this isn't such a simple fix. It will take years for her hair to grow back, and by then she will be taller as well so it wont seem as long. She loves having her hair long."
Gohana wasn't too sure what to do, but wanted to help. She just finished the few things Chichi asked her to do and then headed up to her room. She just sat on her bed and just sat in thought as she fiddled with her hair deep in thought.
Gohana finished undoing her braid, her horribly done braid. She had been trying to practice it a bit but never did it super well just yet. Gohana stopped and realized what she was doing, and glanced over at some of the pictures she had of her and her dad before he died. Gohana had a thought and grabbed her phone and went to message Videl.
'Hey, can I get your advice?'
Raina woke up and stared at the ceiling. She instinctually reached up to untie her hair but quickly remembered she never tied it back. She still had her braid sitting on her desk from yesterday. She just sighed and got up. She was super hungry from training last night. Not even bothering to change as she was able to stay home today, she just went down stairs for breakfast. She could already hear Goten downstairs as well, guessing Gohana was also up already.
"You look so weird! Like those old pictures." Goten said with awe.
"Oh come on, it's not that bad!" Gohana pointed out, defending Chichi's work as she sat down and grabbed a bread roll.
Raina walked in and saw breakfast on the table and just walked over and grabbed some food.
"Morning." she said to them all.
"Morning Raina. Wow, your hair really is different! I almost don't recognize you!" Goten said cheerfully.
"I know it looks horrible! Don't rub it in!" Raina spat at Goten defensively.
"What, I've just never seen you with short hair, Or Gohana."
"Stop teasing me about my short hair!"
Goten just looked at her confused, having no idea what he was doing wrong.
"What did I do?" Goten looked confused, looking back and forth between his sisters.
"Don't worry Raina, Goten will get used to our haircut eventually." Gohana said and took a another bite from her bread roll.
Raina looked over at Gohana confused, as her eyes went wide with surprise.
"So what do you think?" Gohana ran her hand through her hair a bit, still wild as always but now ending just above her shoulders loose instead of down the the small of her back.
"Nee Chan! Your hair!" Raina was now in just as much surprise as Goten was.
"Well, I thought it was high time for a change! Videl cut her hair and I think it looks cute on her. And when I saw your new haircut, I kinda got a bit jelous!" Gohana answered.
"You almost remind me of myself when I went to Namek actually. Maybe a bit more spiky." Gohana ruffled Raina's hair and smiled.
"You really like it?" Raina looked like she was about to tear up.
"Yeah, it really suits you." Gohana smiled.
Raina wiped the tears that were forming and just smiled up at her.
