Chapter 63: You're Savior is here

Bulma is just so awesome. Not only she got me a cool outfit, but also it fits in a watch. This is just too good to be true. Maybe I should show off a bit. Like almost letting people know who I am. But what can I do? Oh, someone is dangerously speeding. This is perfect! Ok, maybe I got a little too angry, but they made fun of me. I thought really hard on that name. I thought it was really cool, too. Luckily, they got the message to drive more safely. With that I flew home. On my flight I started thinking how I would tell mom. CRAP! I didn't think about mom this whole time. She's going to flip.

Uh? This is interesting. Mom is letting me do this, as long as I keep my grade up. I really don't deserve her. I showed off my outfit to Goten, and he thought it was cool too. I knew he would. For the rest of the night, I was working on my superhero poses. And Goten cheered me on. Then when it was bedtime, I stood up a bit longer to finish all my homework. I'm going to have to work on my schedule to keep up with my studies.

The next few days went pretty quiet. Well, until after school ended, and I just ended up following Videl around. There was a few small robberies, and maybe one or two car chases. I only stood by for just in case. Everything was pretty ok. And watching her handle herself was pretty fun, too. I don't get why though, and I was trying to not question it. For right now I'll keep away.

It's now December, and I was wondering what I should get mom and Goten this year. Doing odd jobs for Bulma did pay off. Also, when mom wasn't paying attention, I did some extra hunting. I sold everything I got and even fire wood. The money was coming along nice, and I just wonder what I'm going to surprise them with.

It's now the last day of school, before the winter break, and we were just in homeroom. Erasa went on about how she's going to the islands. Sharpner said he'll be hitting Videl's dad dojo. And Videl will also be get some training in, as well. Sounds like everyone will be pretty busy. Most likely Bulma is going to have another party, and I'm going to be stuck watching the brats. Sometimes I do wish someone was my age there. But at the same time, I don't. What would a normal teenager think of it all? Probably be confused and weird out. Especially with the eating contest Trunks and Goten do. Or seeing Vegeta eating like he never seen food before. That was a laugh.

"Yo, nerd boy! You're doing it again." Oops. I have to stop that. I looked over to Sharpner. "Like I was trying to ask. What you doing this Christmas break?"

"Probably my aunt is going to have a huge party. And maybe go shopping for something for my mom. Nothing special."

"A party! Can you invite people?" Erasa looked so excited when she asked that. I told her I don't know, and how it'll probably be best they didn't go anyway. "Come on Gohan. Why wouldn't it be best we go? Are you hiding from us?" That's when I noticed Videl looking at me weird.

"No. Nothing at all." I felt super nervous for some reason. "It's just my family is pretty embarrassing." I couldn't help rub behind my head, and nervously grinned.

"Aw, bo. It would have been nice to see what nerd boy did during holiday." Erasa had a long face. Very funny.

"Oh, please. I bet nerd boy is just lying, and is just going to be studying during the whole break."

"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprise." Videl added before getting up to leave. Let them think that.

…

I can't believe this! Gohan is gone, again! It's the weekend, and he's not doing superhero stuff. He just left earlier morning and left. I know he's somewhere in the woods, but he's moving too fast for me to catch him. Mom says he's probably just catching up on his workout. Since starting school, he didn't do his morning workouts anymore. But this feels weird. Especially since he smells funny. He sometimes come home smelling like wood, or some type of animal. Maybe he's hunting and not sharing with us. So, mean.

It's almost Christmas time, and aunty Bulma is throwing another party soon. And then after that, it'll be my birthday. I wonder what we're doing this year. Maybe this year I could ask mom for a new game. I really wish I could games like Trunks, but I'm happy with whatever mom gives me. It still makes me feel special when she gives me things. And last year Gohan even got me something. Even mom was very surprised. Like when did Gohan even get the money? Maybe I should ask him for a game, instead. Then again, maybe not.

…

Today is little one's birthday. I hope they're making them feel really special. I wonder what they like to eat. Whatever it is, Chichi is probably making it extra special for them. As I sit under the tree, I begin to wonder, how much longer it'll be till I get to see them. How will they react to me? Will they like me? Will they even let me hold them? Will I get to see them smile at me? Then it hit me. How will they handle when I leave again? I don't think I could bare to see them sad to watch me leave. A day is so short, but I hope I could leave them with a lasting impression on how much I love them. Even though it'll be the first time we meet, but I already have a place in my heart them.

Just as I start to get back, into training, I feel eyes on me. I look back, and it's the guys looking at me. What they want now? One of them walks over, and looks nervous. When he reach me, he look away. Oh, for Dende sake. After a moment he finally ask if I'm really excited to see my family soon. "Of course, I am. Why wouldn't I?"

"It's almost been 7 years since your death. Are you not nervous that you might not recognize your family?" I was giving him an angry glare. He stepped back a bit, and held his hands up. "I mean, like your eldest being bigger, since he grew up. Or maybe your wife changed hairstyles. And you said you don't even know your youngest. Like what are you even expecting them to look like? Or even if they a girl or boy? Have you thought about that?" He did have a point, and my anger cooled a bit. "What are you even expecting? Are you expecting open arms? Or is it even possible that they might hate you?" With that my anger returned, and I started closing the space between us. "Oh, what am I saying? My mistake. Of course, your family will greet you with open arms. Maybe I'm speaking out of jealousy. That's probably it." I was just a foot away from him when he said that.

Once he left, I tried getting back to training. Of course, my family will greet me with open arms. How dare he even said those things! But he did have a point about a few things. I wonder how big Gohan gotten, and how he looks now. Either way, I'll know it's him by his ki and scent alone. Same with Chichi, and with the small sample of the scent of the little one.

As excited, I am, to see everyone, I won't lie, I am a bit worried how the little one will react to me. The last time I was with Chichi, and I felt their growing ki, I could tell they had a unique signature. Like Gohan's but of their own. Their signature wasn't as strong as Gohan's, but probably because it was too early. But there was something about it, that was just special in its own way. Also, their ki felt happy. They probably was the happiest little baby. Probably still a happy little kid now.

…

Ok, that was a close one. After I set the bus down, I made sure Videl was ok. When she started asking me questions, I tried my superhero pose. She made a weird face. Either way, I didn't stay long enough for more questions.

As the weeks go by, I found myself listening close to Videl's police watch. Sometimes I would stay back, unless I hear it's really bad. Sometimes there would people wanting to ask me questions, but I just left. No point in staying longer than I have to. Leave it to Erasa to state how she notice I leave almost same time as Videl. And to top it off, comes back minutes before she does. Now I have to be extra careful.

Especially on my trip to school. Since I wear my Saiyaman suit, to fly around, Videl would try to catch me in her helicopter. She just won't give up. She even makes me late sometimes. Somehow, I don't mind as much. It's almost like a game, kind of makes up for the lack of morning workouts. Just as I put the suit away, do I realize someone is on the roof. CRAP! Hopefully they didn't see anything.

How did I get myself into this? Now I have to take Angela on a date, this Saturday. This bite, and mom just made fun of me. So not cool. The movie was just boring, and it was making me fall asleep. She didn't like that. She got all weird, and then said we should get ice cream. That's when I saw the burning building, and Videl trying to get in. Oh no! Not good!

…

What in the world did I get myself into? There is no way I could put out this fire. "For once I'm happy to see you. Can you help with this water tank?"

"No problem Ms. Videl." He was able to punch the water tanks, and the fire was put out. But now where did he go off to? That guy sure is something. He gets on my nerves whenever he shows up, and helps me. I was doing just fine on my own. But I do feel like I owe him a bit for saving my life a few times.

As I finish talking to the officers, I notice a certain nerd boy walking through the crowd. I wonder what he's doing here. I follow him, and he seems to be looking for something or someone. I walk over to him, and ask him what's he doing here. Just then Angela shows up. Great, it's her. The one that has a new boyfriend every week. So, it turns out they were on a date, all because she blackmailed Gohan. Oh brother. And over her seeing him in teddy bear underwear. Now that's a laugh. But for some reason I kind of upset. If it wasn't because of the blackmail, would Gohan even date this bimbo? What am I even thinking? Who cares who Gohan dates. It's none of my business.

Ok, maybe it would be nice to know what's his type. Not like I like him or anything. He just doesn't say much, and almost always disappearing. He's probably hiding something, and I'm going to find out what. He basically came out of nowhere, and that Saiyaman guy shows up. And even the golden fighter. Strange things been happening since Gohan showed up. I want to know if he's connected somehow.

…

"How did the date go?"

"Just peachy. I got dumped." Before mom could say anymore, I heading to my room. Once inside, my mind was just buzzing with thoughts. She actually said she was happy I was there. She actually asked for my help. Just wow. Two things I never would have thought Videl could ever say. Strangely it made me smile. The way Videl said thank you was nice too. Even though I know she wasn't thanking me, personally, it still felt nice hearing it.

I should go into the city tomorrow, and just walk around. Probably get to know it more, since I go to school there. But before any more thought of that, let me finish my assignments.

Today was going so wonderful, but a plane just needed help. Heck, at least this is stuff I could do on my own. Yet somehow, I wish Videl was here to see. WAIT! Why am I thinking that? The rest of the day, was full of small crimes, and eventually blue eyes trying to catch me. That actually put a smile on my face. Don't know why, but who cares. When she got out her copter, I placed it on an off building. Once I was a couple building away, I just watched her. Maybe I should talk to Vegeta why I'm acting this way. It's really strange. Then again, nobody needs to know my little enjoyment. I kind of like saving her butt.

…

"I think Gohan likes someone."

"Why you say that bro?"

"Ever since he became a superhero, all he does he help this one girl. Like nonstop. Also, sometimes, when he comes home from school, he complains that a girl won't leave him alone. But that's not the crazy part. He's smiling when he says that."

"You got to be kidding me. We gotta tell my dad!" Then Trunks give me that look, the very look that he gives before we get in trouble. "Or we can find out who she is, and mess with him about it."

"Trunks! You genius!"

"I know. I know."

"But how we gonna do it? Since, you know, we gotta do school and stuff."

"Doesn't he go out on the weekends?" I nod my head. "We follow him, and we find out who she is."

"But I can't fly. It wouldn't be fair."

"Fine you big baby. We'll think of something else."
