Chapter 2: Something Is Not Right

Gohan enjoyed the past few weeks of school as he had made a few new friends, Videl, Erasa, and Sharpner. There was also another new student that enrolled just a few days after he had. The new student, Mito, seemed a little peculiar to Gohan and Videl had also picked up on it. Mito's odd behavior took the burden of Videl's suspicion of Gohan off of him, which caused Gohan to relax a bit.

Chi Chi was preparing dinner and looked over to her son who was working on homework at the kitchen table. "Sweetie, why don't you ever tell me about your new friends at school?"

"Well, there's Videl, Erasa, and Sharpner," Gohan explained, eagerly awaiting his dinner.

"Videl and Erasa, huh?" Chi Chi mentioned.

"Erasa is really friendly, but I'm not sure Videl likes me," Gohan added and shrugged.

"Would Erasa or Videl happen to be a girlfriend of yours?" Chi Chi suggested as Gohan's eyes enlarged at that proposition.

"Mom!" Gohan whined.

"Now now son, you know you have to be really nice to these girls if you ever want to get a girlfriend," Chi Chi explained.

"Mom! Like I said, Videl might not like me even as a friend, and Erasa, I don't know! Just stop mom, please," Gohan said while his face turned red.

"Alright Gohan, but you know, you really should be nice, even to that Videl girl," Chi Chi explained.

"I get it," Gohan said trying to end the conversation.

Trying to ignore what his mother said, Gohan got back to his work, but dinner was on his mind. But before he could answer the next problem on his homework, he sensed a strong power level headed toward him. Gohan's eyes shot straight up. Piccolo, he thought. Why would he come here? He never comes to my house anymore.

"Umm, I think I am going to get some fresh air for a bit, then come back to do my homework," said Gohan.

Chi Chi turned to her son, "Alright Gohan, but make sure you finish it before dinner."

Gohan abruptly got up from his chair, walked to the front door, opened it, and walked outside. He used his sensing ability again and felt his former teacher very close by but stationary. I hope nothing is wrong, he thought as he lifted himself off the ground and flew in the direction of Piccolo.

After a very short trip, he landed where Piccolo was standing. Gohan looked up to his mentor. He hadn't seen him in quite some time and felt bad that he didn't get up to the lookout as frequently as he once did. Piccolo locked eyes with the Saiyan teenager.

"Gohan," Piccolo said in his gruff voice.

"Is everything okay?" Gohan asked concerned.

Piccolo eyed his former pupil. "Yes."

Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Then, why did you come by? Not that I don't want you to drop by, but you seem sort of serious."

"Well, I came to tell you something," Piccolo explained.

"What? What is it?" asked Gohan lifting his eyebrow.

"I don't want you to be concerned, but I had a vision a few days ago, a dark vision," Piccolo warned yet Gohan was as confused as ever.

"A dark vision?" Gohan repeated while blinking his eyes.

"Yes. I haven't had a vision like this one since before Cell," Piccolo added narrowing his eyes.

"What does it mean?" Gohan asked in a more serious tone.

"I'm not sure, but immediately after the vision, I took a detailed look at our planet," Piccolo continued.

"I'm confused. What do you mean?" asked Gohan.

"I carefully and deeply sensed all parts of the planet for anything out of the ordinary, and I did find something," Piccolo mentioned as Gohan took a step back.

"What, really?"

"Yes."

Piccolo turned around looking up at the sky and took a deep breath. Gohan sat down on the grass not sure what to make of this news. Was something bad about to happen? Were these peaceful times about to end? Or was his former master wrong in his vision?

"What have you sensed?" asked Gohan.

"Well, it's obscure and clouded, but I have felt minor pulses of a dark power, but for some reason, there's some familiarity with it," said Piccolo.

Gohan was now trying to decipher what his master was saying. Was this power someone that he knew? Gohan knew he had completed very little training since Cell and suspected his power level had actually even decreased over time. This ominous news made Gohan want to train to get back up to speed just in case.

"It's all so clouded," mentioned Piccolo shaking his head frustrated by his vision.

"What should we do?" asked Gohan.

"Absolutely nothing. There is nothing we can do."

Gohan pounded the soil. "Dang, I wish I had trained more."

Piccolo raised an eyebrow. "Well, I am telling you this so you can keep your eye out for anything out of the ordinary. I don't want you to be concerned, but we need to be on guard. Also, don't tell anyone yet. It could also be nothing, so no need to worry everyone about it."

Gohan looked back up to his former teacher. "Are you sure?"

"Yes. For now, just be more alert than normal. I will also keep an eye out," Piccolo said.

"Okay," Gohan confirmed.

"You know where to find me, kid," Piccolo said as he lifted himself off, then waved, and finally powered up and flew off.

Gohan watched him fly away. He got back to his feet and had a lot on his mind. What did it all mean? His master had always been the serious type, and he never joked around, so he had to take this vision seriously. The only thing he realized from his short conversation with his former teacher was that he needed to train and quickly. He knew he was out of shape, at least compared to what he once was. Gohan shook his head at his lack of training. I should have continued training like Vegeta, he thought.

Gohan walked back toward the house. It was a few minutes, but it allowed him to decompress after hearing the news. How was he supposed to do his homework now with all that was on his mind? He just needed to not worry about it and continue powering through. Things just got a lot more complicated, thought Gohan.

The next day, Gohan landed in a park nearby the school so nobody would know he could fly. He looked around and begun walking toward the street. The last bit of his daily commute to school he would walk. It helped keep his senses clear.

"Walking to school? I thought you lived really far away from here," a voice said behind him.

Gohan jumped surprised and turned around, "Videl!"

"Walking Gohan?" Videl asked once more raising an eyebrow.

Gohan rubbed the back of his head. "Umm, yeah, I just decapsulate my plane a ways out from school so I could walk the rest."

"Why would you do that?"

"Well, umm, I like getting a little fresh air before school," explained Gohan nervously laughing.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. That's what I'm doing now too," Videl said catching up to Gohan. "You mind if I walk with you?"

"Sure," Gohan said with a smile but he was uneasy.

The two continued walking toward school. It was only a five-minute walk from where they were.

"Say Gohan, what do you do when you get home from school? You must not have much time since it must take you a few hours to get to the 439 area," Videl said in an attempt to strike up a conversation.

Gohan chuckled, "Well, I mostly play with my brother or just do my homework."

"You have a brother?" Videl asked blinking her eyes.

"Yep, he's 7," said Gohan. "Do you have any siblings?"

For some reason, Videl was caught off guard from the question. She wasn't sure if Gohan would engage her. Over the past few weeks, Videl had grown an interest in Gohan due to his secrecy. She was suspicious of him and to overcome that suspicion, she would have to get to know him more.

"Umm, no, it's just me and my father," Videl explained.

"Oh," said Gohan.

"Well, I have a question for you Gohan," Videl proposed.

"Umm, yeah?" he responded nervously.

It was already a challenge to talk to Videl because of her association with her father, but also because Gohan was trying to keep his powers hidden through his alter ego, Saiyaman. Videl was not very fond of Saiyaman and the few times she had seen him as Saiyaman, she seemed quite angry. He knew he was bad at lying, so he hoped she was not on to him regarding Saiyaman.

"I don't know exactly what to make of you Gohan," Videl said raising an eyebrow. "First, you didn't know who my father was and when you found out, you didn't seem to care. Most people that want to be my friend do so because of my father."

There wasn't exactly a question that Videl asked, but Gohan knew he needed to respond.

"Well, I don't care about all of that. Your father is your father, and you are you," Gohan explained.

Videl blinked surprised by his response. "But, you don't even seem to care that my father saved the world."

"I do care, but I don't know him. I know you, not him," Gohan explained offering her a smile.

Videl was taken aback by his response. It gave her peace of mind that Gohan wasn't her friend because of her father. Sharpner was now her good friend, but she suspected when they were young, their friendship was because of her father. But Gohan was different, and that made her content; however, it didn't alleviate the suspicions she had about him. Videl had so many questions about Gohan, but she wouldn't ask them, at least not yet.

After arriving at school, the two walked into the classroom together. Erasa saw this and gasped as Videl had a smile on her face and came in together with Gohan.

"Why are you looking at me like that," Videl asked narrowing her eyes as she sat down.

"You and Gohan coming in together like that," Erasa explained smiling.

Oh no, Videl thought. "Don't you dare."

"But I must," Erasa said with a smirk.

"No. End whatever thoughts you have because they are all wrong," Videl said shaking her head. Erasa then turned to Gohan.

"Gohan, do you care to tell me why you and Videl came in at the same time together?" Erasa asked with a huge smile.

"Umm," was all Gohan could muster.

"Seriously Erasa? Brains and Videl? Come on," Sharpner said rolling his eyes.

"But Videl was smiling," Erasa noted.

"I'M RIGHT HERE!" Videl shouted rolling her eyes.

"Oh silly me," Erasa said sarcastically. "I forgot Videl can't like boys."

Videl sighed. "That's not true. But whatever you are thinking, it's not true."

"Uh huh," was all Erasa said not believing her.

"Ummm, I don't get it," Gohan said scratching his head.

Erasa sighed. "Gohan, you're hopeless."

"What?" Gohan said while tilting his head.

Before Erasa started up on that conversation again, Gohan and Videl tuned out whatever she was about to say because Mito was walking up the stairs the same row they sat in.

"Hi Mito," Erasa greeted.

"Hey," plainly said Mito.

Erasa had made a point to befriend Mito; however, Gohan and Videl were a bit more ambivalent. That being said, Gohan was still very friendly with him; however, Videl was quite suspicious of him.

"How are you doing Mito?" Gohan asked, but he could have sworn he saw Mito's eye twitch.

"Good," said Mito.

Great conversation, Videl thought as she rolled her eyes. She could tell Gohan was trying to be nice, but Mito was hardly worth her time.

The rest of the day went without issue. It was a boring day with the typical lectures and worksheets. Gohan was thankful the day ended. He was about to grab his belongings, and head out, but Erasa stopped him.

"Gohan!"

"Umm yeah?"

Erasa chuckled. "Want to come get ice cream with us?"

Videl was open to the idea of hanging out with Gohan, especially after their earlier conversation on the way to school.

"Umm, I guess I can, but I shouldn't be out too long," said Gohan slipping her a smile.

"Oh don't be silly, the ice cream parlor is just a five-minute walk from here, plus it would be good for you to see more of Satan City," Erasa explained.

Gohan had already seen the city the few times he had stopped crime in his alter ego, Saiyaman, but he couldn't refuse Erasa's offer. He had to make a point to act normal and blend in with the other kids. Plus, the whole reason he came to Orange Star High was to make friends as the education was far too easy for him.

Erasa then whispered something in Videl's ear, but Gohan couldn't make out what she was saying. Videl rolled her eyes as Erasa finished whispering.

"Mito!" Erasa said excitedly.

"What?" said Mito.

"Say, want to join us?" Erasa suggested.

Mito hesitated but then smirked. This would be a great opportunity for him to fit in more with the end goal of finding more about Gohan.

"Sure," said Mito.

"Great! Let's go!" Erasa said smiling.

Honestly, Videl just wanted to go get ice cream with Erasa, Sharpner, and Gohan, but now that Mito was included, she wasn't as happy. She decided to at least give Mito one more attempt. She could tell that Erasa had a little bit of a crush on the new kid, Mito. Maybe that will take her mind off trying to get me together with a boy! Videl thought.

The five teenagers left the building and followed Erasa. "It's only a five-minute walk away," she said.

"Great, because I need to get back to training after we get ice cream," Sharpner added.

"You train? In what?" said Mito as they were walking.

"Martial Arts of course. I sometimes get to train with Videl's dad, isn't that awesome?" Sharpner said beaming with pride.

"Uhh, not really," Mito added.

Sharpner raised an eyebrow as the group continued to walk. "What do you mean? That's an honor to train with the one that defeated Cell."

The nerve, Mito thought as he could feel his anger boiling. "No it's not," he said defiantly.

Videl was also curious what Mito meant. She decided to keep quiet and observe while letting Sharpner defend her father for now. This was the second time Mito had seemed to show disrespect toward her father.

"Why the heck not?" Sharpner asked throwing up his arms.

"Because, I hate to be the one to tell you, but he is weak," Mito said while smirking.

Videl was starting to feel the rage inside her become higher. How dare Mito say that in front of me! I should show him what true power is!

Sharpner laughed. "So, it looks like you don't know anything because he is the strongest person in the world."

"One hundred percent false," said Mito confidently.

Gohan was intently listening to their conversation. While he agreed with Mito, he wouldn't dare say something like that in front of Videl. He'd put so much effort in fitting in, if he were to jump into the conversation now, things might end badly for him. This was the first person he came across that didn't worship Videl's father. It was peculiar.

Videl, on the other hand, had had it. "Well, then name someone who is stronger," Videl seethed as the group stopped walking.

"I could easily name people, but why should I?" Mito proposed.

"Because I think you don't know what you are talking about," Videl retorted yet Mito continued to smirk.

"I know exactly what I'm talking about. The way he goes on about defeating Cell, that's disgraceful," Mito argued.

Gohan was taken aback. What is he suggesting? Gohan thought.

"You make it sound like my dad didn't defeat Cell," Videl slowly implied.

Mito chuckled. "Yep, that's exactly what I am saying."

"How dare you!" Videl yelled shaking her fist. She was this close to showing him what the Satan style of power really was.

"He was swatted away like a fly, and you have the gall to say he defeated Cell? Please. It's complete humiliation to Cell that a weakling like your father was capable of beating him," Mito said thoroughly enjoying getting a rise out of the Satan girl.

"What was that?" Videl taunted.

Mito was about to taunt further; however, he quickly stopped and realized what he had just said. What a minute, Mito thought. The whole point I came was to learn more about Gohan. Why am I wasting my time with this peon?

"Forget about what I said, forget all of it," said Mito rolling his eyes.

Videl put her hands on her hip. "Forget it? You insulted my father!" She yelled.

"Umm, maybe you shouldn't have done that Mito," Erasa said trying to calm the situation.

"Gohan?" asked Mito surprising the half-Saiyan.

Gohan looked up abruptly as he was listening, but pretending not to pay attention.

"Don't you have anything to say about this?" Mito pushed. The fact that I am looking for Gohan to defend me is ridiculous. I should just end all these pathetic human's lives now.

Gohan gulped. Why was Mito bringing him into this conversation? "Umm, not really."

Videl immediately took back control of the conversation. "Of course he doesn't! Unlike you, he actually smart and knows the truth."

Gohan was thoroughly confused. Somehow, in the weirdest of circumstances, Videl had complimented him.

Mito chuckled. "Unlike you, Gohan here knows the truth. He's just not man enough to admit it. Forget this. I'm out of here," he said as he ran in the other direction.

"Come back here! We aren't done yet!" Videl yelled back but he was already gone.

"Man that was too weird," Erasa added.

"How dare he say what he said? I should run after him! How could you invite him, Erasa?" Videl raged. Erasa shook her head saddened that Mito made things very difficult for her friends.

"I'm sorry. He is really new here, and he probably is just super confused," Erasa explained.

"Are you really defending him over your best friend?" Videl asked raising an eyebrow.

"Of course not. He is very confused," Erasa explained nodding her head.

"Yeah. I don't like him at all," Videl added.

"Same. He's an ass," Sharpner agreed.

Videl turned her attention back toward someone else she was reluctantly hanging out with. Oh yeah, what did Mito mean by what he said about Gohan? Videl thought.

"Gohan! What did he mean by that?" Videl yelled.

"Uhh, M- Mean by what?" Gohan stuttered.

Videl sighed. "He said that you knew the truth."

Gohan frowned. Honestly, he had no clue what Mito was suggesting. Was it possible that Mito knew that Gohan didn't believe Mr. Satan defeated Cell? Was it possible that Mito knew that HE was the one that defeated Cell? This was all very confusing to the young Saiyan. Of course, he doesn't know. Nobody knows that unless one of the few that knows told him, but I doubt that. But then what did that all mean?

"Earth to Gohan!" Videl sarcastically yelled.

"Oh ummm, I really have no idea what he meant," Gohan explained ducking his head.

"Right," Videl said not believing him.

"Let's just go get ice cream and forget about him," Erasa suggested trying to lighten the mood.

After they got ice cream, the four parted ways. Videl still was thinking about what Mito said. She had never met anybody that dissed her father as he had. It was ludicrous that he would say something so outlandish. She was wondering what went on in Mito's head for him to say what he said. It was if Mito knew something she didn't. However, it didn't matter; Videl would take no part in hanging out with Mito again. She gave her effort as Erasa wanted.

Gohan, on the other hand, was concerned that Mito knew something he shouldn't. Over the past few hours, Gohan concluded that either Mito was just a tiny minority of people who didn't believe that Mr. Satan defeated Cell or he actually knew something about the events. It was impossible for him to witness what had happened on that day since the live TV camera broke, so Gohan concluded that whatever he knew was speculative. That gave some closure to Gohan because the last thing he would want is if his secrets were revealed, especially with his budding friendship with Videl Satan and the others.

The next day was a glorious one because it was Friday. Finally, Gohan could go home and begin his training. He had slacked off the past several years, but it was time to start up again. After Piccolo revealed his dark vision, he realized it was time to train, and all he had to do was get by one last day of school.

"Wow Brains, you are here early," Sharpner said sarcastically

Gohan sat down in his seat. Only a few other students were there, but Videl and Sharpner had also arrived early.

"You are usually never here this early," Videl observed.

"Well, I guess I came early for once," Gohan said as he set his things down on the desk.

"Yeah you did," said Erasa grinning.

"I am not looking forward to Mito showing up," Videl groaned.

"Yeah, well, hopefully, he apologizes," Erasa agreed.

"Hopefully," added Gohan.

After several minutes, the other students started filing into the classroom and Mito also was among these students. He sat down and didn't say a word to them. Videl rolled her eyes at the obvious tension that he was creating. She decided that she didn't care enough to ever talk to him again. His loss, she thought.

The next several class periods were uneventful. Mito didn't even acknowledge the four, but Videl really didn't care. Lunch came around, and the students began to pour out the classroom. Mito quickly left the classroom before Erasa, Videl, Sharpner, or Gohan could leave.

"Hey Brains? Want to come eat with us?" Sharpner asked.

"Oh my god, stop calling him that Sharpie!" Erasa said playfully hitting him.

Honestly, Gohan didn't really care about his nickname Sharpner had given him. As long as he was fitting in with the crowd, he was content.

"Sure," said Gohan but Erasa seemed to have other plans.

"Hey guys, I'm going to meet up with you all in a little bit, I have to do something," Erasa said as she quickly grabbed her bag and left the class.

"Umm," Sharpner muttered.

"I wonder what she's got going on?" said Videl.

Gohan, Videl, and Sharpner got their bags and left the classroom to find a place to eat lunch.

Erasa, on the other hand, was chasing down the hallway to catch up to Mito. She quickly rounded the corner she thought she saw Mito turn.

"What?" Mito said as Erasa found him immediately around the corner.

"What do you mean what? You completely ignored us this morning," Erasa scolded.

"Yeah? Your point?" Mito asked.

"Well, I was wondering if you felt bad about what you said to Videl last Friday," Erasa asked fidgeting her foot.

"Pfft, of course not. Why would I feel bad for speaking the truth?" Mito explained.

"The truth?" repeated Erasa as she blinked her eyes.

"Correct. Videl's father was not the one that defeated Cell. This is fact. He is a liar," Mito lashed out.

Guess he didn't change. He's so confused, Erasa thought. "Okay, but I don't think Videl will like that."

"I don't care. My purpose here is not to deal with that girl. I care about only one goal. Now out of my way," Mito told her off as he continued walking down the hall.

Man, what's his problem? I was just asking. Guess we won't be friends. Too bad, because he is kind of cute, Erasa thought and giggled. Why do all the bad boys have to be the cute ones?

A few hours later, school had ended, and it was finally time to go home for the weekend. Gohan was excited because the first thing he would do when he got home was training. Videl was also excited because it would give her a break from school. This week had been weird as Saiyaman was coming to the rescue where she could not. Also, the new kid at school, Mito, was really getting on her nerves. Another change was that Gohan was being included in their friend group. She wasn't sure about him but had a much more positive view of him compared to Mito.

"See you guys!" Erasa and Sharpner both said as they walked in one direction away from school.

"Bye!" said Gohan waving.

"Erasa, make sure you pick up your phone this weekend! I got something I want to talk to you about," Videl explained.

"Umm, okay, just call me whenever! You know I always want to talk!" Erasa said.

Gohan began walking toward the same park he had been landing every morning this week. Videl followed him.

"So where are you headed?" Gohan asked sensing Videl catching up to him.

"Well, I am going to the park I sometimes take off from. It gives me a second to clear my mind after a long day," Videl explained.

Huh? Is she thinking about the same park as I go to? Gohan thought. "Oh, me too, I take off and land at a park."

"Really? It would seem like you are just following me," Videl suggested.

Gohan's eyes enlarged. "What? No, of course not!" He defended.

Hmm, then why would he go to the same park as me? Videl wondered.

What do I do now? Gohan thought and grimaced, I don't have my capsule plane today. If she finds that out, I won't have an excuse.

"Well, seeing that we are probably going to the same park as it's the only one in the area, can you tell me your opinion is of Mito?" Videl asked.

Gohan had a questionable look on his face. "Well, he certainly doesn't seem nice."

Honestly, Gohan thought something much different. What is he hiding? Why does he think Mr. Satan didn't kill Cell?

"It makes me furious that he doesn't believe that my dad defeated Cell," Videl explained.

Gohan nodded his head. "Well, put yourself in his shoes."

"What? How can I do that?" Videl wondered.

"Easy. He probably likes to see proof, and we all know your dad is strong, but there is no video of Cell being defeated. All he has to go by is your father's word," Gohan cautiously explained.

"What? You too?" Videl said in shock wondering if Gohan didn't trust her father.

"No, no, no. I'm just trying to put myself in his shoes. I mean, it kind of makes sense," Gohan explained rubbing the back of his head.

"Not really," said Videl.

"Yeah, well, I tried," Gohan said.

"Yeah, whatever. My dad is the most powerful person alive, so I think that's proof enough," Videl explained.

"Right. But what about yourself? You are also very strong. Do you think you could beat Cell?" Gohan proposed.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe if he didn't use tricks?" said Videl.

Gohan wanted to talk about something else as all this Cell stuff was making him a bit on edge. It was strange enough he was befriending the daughter of the man who stole his credit, but he made peace with that a long time ago. He didn't care about the credit. He was just thankful Cell was dead, never to return again.

"All I am saying is that I don't like the guy," said Videl.

"I'm not crazy about him either," Gohan agreed nodding his head. "But everybody deserves a second chance. He is probably trying to take it all in, being a new student and all."

Videl frowned. "I tried giving him a second chance."

"Yeah, well I always give people even more second chances. My dad always gave people second chances, even people that hated him," Gohan explained.

"Hmm, I guess you are sort of right. By the way, why don't you ever talk about your parents?" Videl asked.

Gohan looked down. "Well, my mom, my brother, and I live by ourselves in a small house in the mountains. My dad would live with us, but he's not with us anymore."

Videl put her palms on her mouth and was taken aback as she wasn't expecting that answer. "I'm sorry Gohan, I had no idea."

"It's okay, it happened a long time ago," said Gohan offering her a smile.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Videl proposed.

"No, I'm good. He sort of died because of me, so I would rather not," Gohan explained.

No way. How could Gohan think that? Gohan's is too nice for something like that to happen, Videl thought. She realized she had to quickly change the conversation.

"So any plans this weekend?" Videl asked as the two continued to walk in the direction of the park.

Training, Gohan thought, but he couldn't tell her that. "Not a whole lot, you?"

"Training," said Videl.

"All weekend? You must be dedicated," Gohan complimented.

"Well, being the daughter of the man who defeated Cell, I have to train very hard to measure up," explained Videl.

"Right," Gohan concurred.

The two had reached the park. Videl threw a capsule on the grass then a copter appeared, and she jumped inside.

"What about you?" Videl said before shutting the door of her copter.

"Umm, I think I am going to enjoy the weather before heading home," said Gohan nervously. What a dumb answer, he thought.

"Uh, well, have a good weekend," Videl said raising an eyebrow.

"You too."

She closed the door and lifted off. Her copter quickly ascended through the air and then went in the direction of her home. Gohan looked at her quickly disappearing copter in the distance and sighed.

I really need to watch it. I guess I need to start bringing that capsule plane that Bulma gave me just in case, Gohan thought.

Later that evening, Videl had just finished a workout session in her dad's gym. It housed all the latest and greatest equipment for martial artists as it helped her achieve greater strength and agility. Videl came out of her bathroom after taking a shower. She sat down on her bed, took out her phone, and dialed her best friend, Erasa.

After a few seconds, a voice picked up on the other side. "Hi, Videl."

"Erasa?"

"Yeah, so what did you want to talk about?"

Videl sighed. Guess I should just be upfront and tell her.

"Mito." There was a slight pause in the conversation.

"Yeah, I figured," Erasa said.

"Did you run off to talk to him at lunch?" Videl asked.

How did she know? Thought Erasa blinking her eyes. "Umm, yeah."

"And?"

"Well, I just wanted to see if he wanted to apologize."

"And did he?"

"Nope."

"I figured as much," Videl said shaking her head in disgust. She really didn't want to be around Mito. There was another pause in the conversation.

"Well, he did say something," Erasa hinted.

"Really? What?"

"He was really mean about it, but he still said that your dad didn't defeat Cell."

"What a jerk," Videl said.

"Yeah, but he also said something about only being in school because he had a goal to accomplish. He was rude and basically told me off."

How dare he and to my best friend, Videl thought seething with anger. "That's it. I'm done with him. He will have to answer to me on Monday. Nobody does that to my best friend and gets away with it."

Erasa was a bit concerned. "Wait, don't do that. I think it's better to just ignore him. Maybe he will go away."

Videl snorted. "As if. I should just get my dad to take him out of the school, but I admit, I am slightly curious about why he thinks the way he does. Either way, he needs to be set straight, and I will do just that on Monday."

"But Videl! Let's not get into any fights. You'll get in trouble," whined Erasa.

"He might be dangerous," Videl explained.

"Maybe, but promise me that you will talk to me on Monday before making any moves. This involves me too!" Erasa said.

"Yeah of course. You are my best friend for a reason."

"Thanks, Videl!"

"Anyways you doing anything this weekend?"

"Umm, not much. Want to come to the mall with me tomorrow?"

Videl sighed. "No, I want to train."

"Fine. You're no fun."

"Right. Anyways, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye!"

Videl hung up the phone. She was confused by the events of this week. Either way, she had to set things straight on Monday, but in the meantime, she needed to focus on her training.

Gohan had also trained all evening thanks to the help of his little brother. Goten was throwing rocks as fast as he could toward Gohan while the older half-Saiyan dodged them. This was an exercise in speed and agility.

Mito, however, was starting to realize he needed to make a move. His method of trying to find out Gohan's secrets was not working. All he had managed to do is associate with Gohan's friends. Even now, he could sense Gohan becoming stronger, training. Mito had been training very hard in hell so he was prepared for this moment, not that he ever thought it would come. He did, however, remember Goku and Gohan gaining huge amounts of strength in a short period of time, and he wouldn't dare let that happen again. I will get you Gohan. I will take my revenge, he thought as he smirked.

A/N: Things are starting to heat up. What is going to happen? Anybody's guess. Please review and thank you.
