School Days 2

Goten yawned deeply as he walked towards the front doors of the school. It was a nice warm morning, and the sun was out in full glory, casting it's rays anywhere it pleased. It was the type of day that made one wish they were anywhere but locked up inside. For a moment he considered just waiting for Bra and then just IT'ing somewhere like Africa or Australia for the day, but he quickly dismissed that idea. Keeping an eye out for Alex was much more important, especially since Trunks wasn't at school, having been suspended and all. He had to make sure she was alright with everything that had gone on last night. He stepped through the front doors, keeping his senses high to ensure he'd be able to find Alex and Bra. Their energy signatures, even under high power suppression, were easily distinguishable from the normal people at the school. Neither appeared to be at school yet, so Goten just continued on his way towards his locker. As he made his way around a corner, he was confronted by a group of about 10 people.

"Goten!" the group's apparent leader said excitedly. Goten recognized him immediately it was Torsu, one of Goten's... well not friends, but the two were quite friendly with each other. "We heard Trunks beat the crap out of Jason yesterday! Is that true?"

Goten smirked. "Absolutely! He messed Jason up pretty bad. It was great."

"See I told you" Torsu said to the others. "Man Trunks is a badass... Finally..... Trunks is my idol" were a few of the sentence fragments Goten discerned from the chatting group.

"Actually that's not quite what happened." Came a voice from behind. Goten spun around to see the two boys who had been with Jason yesterday. His "backup", Lee and James

"Uhhh yea. Yea it is." Goten reiterated. He tensed himself up slightly, sensing they were here for some sort of confrontation.

"No it's not. Jason got a few good hits in on trunks, but trunks fought really dirty.."

Goten blinked slowly, letting his brain mull over what they said several times. He wanted to make sure he'd actually heard what he thought he heard. Calling Trunks a dirty fighter was an insult to both Trunks and Goten considering they'd both learned to fight together. "You have got to be kidding me. You two were there! And last I checked Trunks was perfectly fine after that fight. Jason on the other hand.... He didn't look so good."

"If Trunks is fine then how come he's not here today?"

"Uhhh because he got suspended?" Goten paused. "seriously is your IQ like 20 below room temperature or something? Because I don't understand how else you could have the story so wrong. Trunks could have easily taken all three of you, at the same time, blinded, with both legs broken and both arms tied behind his back. Jason's the one who went crying to the principle like a little bitch." Goten could see where this was going; trouble. Honestly at this point he didn't care. These two were obviously here for a fight, and were banking on him not being as strong as Trunks; that without trunks Goten would be an easy target for them. Well if it was a fight they wanted, so be it. Goten open and closed his hands into fists, warming them up.

"Care to back that up?" The larger of the two, James, dared, taking a step towards Goten.

"Yea actually I do." Goten responded taking a step towards James. The two moved into their confrontation, both readying fists for the attack. Of course by the time James had even balled up his hand Goten's fist was within a few inches of James face, he felt it connect... but it didn't give. For a second Goten couldn't understand what had happened, but he quickly saw Bra had gotten in between them and had blocked his punch from hitting James' face.

"Goten! What are you doing??" she demanded after pushing him back abit from James. She stepped forward facing Goten with her back to James.

"I uh..." Goten began. "Kami she's fast!" "I was just going to teach these guys a lesson. They were running their mouths about Trunks."

Bra sighed. "Well great Goten. If you wanted to get suspended too this is a good way to do it." She lowered her voice. "You know how your mom would flip on you about this. Besides we're supposed to keep an eye on... "her.""

"Thanks babe but I didn't need your help stopping this runt." James said as masculine as he could.

Goten smirked a little. Bra hated being called that, and he saw the slight twitch of anger as she turned around to James.

"Shut it. I'm talking here." Bra said strongly, placing a hand on her hip.

"Ohh feisty, I like that."

"Ok seriously... stop" Bra said. Goten could sense it in her voice. Another comment or two like that and James would wish he'd been fighting Goten, instead of dealing with Bra.

"Stop or what? You'll spank me?" James snickered looking back to Lee before turning back to Bra.

There was a flash of red as Bra's hand blurred forward, striking James in the face. Goten was the only one who caught the entire motion. As quickly as her hand had left her side it was back. For a moment James simply stood motionless, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened. A moment later there was a trickle of red from his nose, which quickly increased in volume. A moment later his hand leapt up to his nose and he started crying in pain. "My nose! Ah my fucking nose! I think you broke it! Oh Kami it hurts!" he wailed.

Goten couldn't restrain himself anymore and he burst out laughing.

"Goten! This isn't funny!"

"Come on B-chan.... it's a little funny." He said between hysterics. Torsu and the others had also begun snickering at the whole spectacle as well.

"You'll pay for this...." James said before he bid a hasty retreat away from Goten and Bra, no doubt to clean himself up from all that blood coming out of his nose. Lee quickly followed after.

Even Bra couldn't stop herself from laughing now.

"Ohhh jeez... I'm going to get in trouble for this aren't I?" she laughed.

"It'll be worth it." Goten said.

"That was pretty great Bra." Torsu said agreeably. "I didn't know you could fight too."

"Well I wouldn't really call that a fight." Goten said as he put a hand on Bra's shoulder. "Only took her one hit."

9:03am

Goten was sitting at the back of the chemistry class in his usual seat, anxiously on the lookout for Alex both t the front of the class, and throughout the school with his senses. He was beginning to think Alex might not show up today as it neared the time for the 2nd bell. At the last instant Alex managed to squeak her way in through the door as the teacher was closing the door and the 2nd bell rang.

"Still cutting it close I see Ms. Alesian?" The teacher said sarcastically.

"Er yea.. sorry..."

"I'm sure you are. If you could take your seat please."

Alex quickly moved away from the teacher towards her assigned seat near Goten. She nodded to Goten as she got closer. Alex pulled her shoulder bag over her head, rustling some of her hair as she took the seat besides Goten.

"Hey.." she said quietly as the teacher began.

"Hey" Goten responded quietly. Now that he knew for sure she was saiyan, he could speak much quieter and be sure she'd hear him. Actually now that he thought about it there's no way she didn't hear him and his Trunks liking her comment. Maybe that's why she'd dressed up her appearance abit. It was still abit too cold to be wearing the somewhat revealing skirt and t-shirt she'd dressed in today. She really was a good looking girl, but she was his aunt... ugh that still seemed so weird to Goten. "and wait... what if she really does like Trunks? Oh man that's going to get weird..."

"Where's Trunks?" she whispered.

"He's suspended remember?"

"Oh.. right..."

"You alright Alex? How are you feeling? Things okay?"

"Yea actually they're great...Thanks so much for everything you did last night, I feel so much more comfortable with who I am now... well I mean it's still a little uncomfortable the whole Alien thing and being your aunt thing... but it's a lot better than having had no idea who I really am. I really feel like I'm part of something now, I felt so lonely as a kid...."

"I can only imagine, I've had people like me around all my life.. but we found you now." Goten said smiling to her. "That's what matters."

"Yea definitely... so it's okay for me to come over to Trunks' again tonight right?"

"Yea for sure. Trunks is actually looking forward to it." "Oh man, now I'm practically pushing those two together. I better stop it." "Besides we still have to finish telling you the rest of our story after Frieza."

The two continued their practically inaudible conversation throughout the class, interrupted only occasionally when the teacher would direct a question or stare their way for not paying attention. Calculus was abit more eventful, with rumors of Bra and James' confrontation working their way around the school. People were asking Goten about the events of that morning all through class, and Goten was only too glad to recollect it all, smiling as he did. Alex was a little surprised the first time she heard the story, it didn't seem something she'd expect Bra to do. But when she thought about it more, that she was Vegeta's daughter, he could see where she'd get the attitude from. The story was quite funny though.

Lunch was also filled with questions about the morning's events, except the questions were directed at Bra. Goten and Alex merely laughed as Bra expressed the story to the people who had chosen to surround their lunch table. Bra's friends, except Marron, seemed a little taken aback by the events.

"Bra why'd you punch James in the face???" Kendra asked.

"Cause he was being a douche."

"But you know I like him..."

"Unfortunately yes I do. Honestly you can do way better."

"Yea I'm inclined to agree." Marron added.

"Ugh whatever you guys. How'd you even hurt him that bad?"

Alex and Goten exchanged a grin at that comment. Even Marron smiled faintly. Bra merely shrugged, not wanting to add anymore suspicion.

"Speaking of that, what do you think your punishment is gonna be when the principal hears about this?" Marron asked her best friend.

"Well my brother got 5 days, but I'm not as big of a delinquent as him, so maybe a day or two. Plus I'm a girl."

"So worth it though, so worth it." Goten said smiling.
3:02pm

Goten and Alex met up with Bra outside the school.

"So what did he have to say B-Chan?"

"Oh just something about "We're very disappointed in you Ms. Briefs" and "We don't want you to start taking after your brother" or some crap. I don't know. I just kind of tuned out and nodded along. Anyways, long story short I'm suspended for a day."

"Uh oh, I don't think your mom is going to like that."

"Yea definitely not. So Goten, I have a plan."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. I left my mom a message that I wouldn't be coming home tonight, and then I turned my cell off so she can't get ahold of me.... Do you think I can spend the night at your house? You know give my mom a chance to calm down before I go home."

Goten hesitated for a moment. "Um yea I guess that'd be okay..... we're supposed to meet up with Trunks though."

"Don't worry I took that into account. You an instant transmit us to your house, then bring him here after he lets mom know he's leaving. Hopefully she hasn't got the call yet. Then I'll tell Trunks I'm going to Marron's but not to tell mom, and I'll just stay at your house. Since if I actually go to Marron's, mom will be able to track me down."

"uhh... wow that sounds really complicated... but I guess we can give it a try."

"Hey Bra, what's instant transmitting?" Alex asked.

"Oh you haven't seen Goten do it yet? It's really cool! Show her Goten."

"Alright.." Goten said raising his index and idle finger of his right hand to his forehead. He quickly locked onto his mother's Ki signal, and aimed for his room. "K just hold on to me."

"Your hand or... what?" Alex asked confused.

"Anywhere will work."

Bra and Alex placed a hand on Goten shoulder. A split second later (after Goten had made sure the coast was clear), Alex saw the world around her disappear into black, the ground beneath her vanish, a strange sinking feeling in her stomach, like free falling. An instant later, she saw the world begin to focus back into view, except now the scenery was completely different. They were in someone's bedroom, a boy's bedroom. Her feet retouched solid ground as the room solidified and she felt the ground beneath her again. There was a strange snap back of energy that caused the three teens to lurch forward slightly.

"Whoa what the.. Goten are we in your room?"

"We sure are... sorry bout the mess, I wasn't expecting anyone else to be in here today." Goten said a little embarrassed.

"How did you do that???" Alex asked.

"That's instant transmission. It lets you go anywhere pretty much instantly... except other planets those take a few minutes usually." Goten informed her.

"Wow that's so awesome!"

"Yea it is pretty useful." Goten said grinning. "Maybe I can teach you guys sometime."

"You already promised me you would Goten." Bra said, pointing her finger at him and smiling her slightly devilish smile.

"Yeah yeah I know.... Ohh I guess I actually better go get Trunks as per your elaborate plan B-Chan?"

3:43pm

Goten collected Trunks from Capsule Corp after Trunks told his mother he and Alex were going to Goten's. While Bulma had been a little disappointed, she definitely understood that Alex would be interested in seeing where Goku and his family lived. Luckily Bulma hadn't got the message about Bra being suspended yet so she hadn't sent Trunks out to track down his sister. The four had found it a little cramped in Goten's room, but had made due. Bra was anxious to fill Trunks in on the details of her plan and also the morning's events that had lead to the need for her plan. Trunks had practically burst out laughing after Bra had described James running off, blood pouring out his nose and vowing revenge. The were interrupted in their conversations by Chi Chi.

"Goten! Your brother's here!"

The four teens had quickly rushed down the stairs, which had given ChiChi a bit of a start as she hadn't expected all 4 of them. She was only too happy to entertain them though, even if it did mean she'd have to pretty a rather ridiculous amount of food. It wasn't often someone had to feed 7 Saiyans.

Goten gave Gohan a quick hug before Gohan greeted the rest of the teens.

"How are things going Gohan? Goten asked his brother.

"Good good. Works keeping me busy. But I took some time off today. I was actually hoping I could join you guys in some training today. I don't get much chance to lately but I'm curious to see how I stack up against you and Trunks these days. Plus it'll give us a chance to show Alex what super saiyan is like."

"Yea! You guys have like.. built this up so much for me. I can't wait to see it." Alex responded enthusiastically.

"Hey Gohan?" Goten said after a moment.

"Yeah Goten? What's up?"

"Do you think you can tell us the legend of the super saiyan? You promised you'd tell me about it sometime."

"Hmm, well Goten I'd love too but we'd need a quiet place to talk about it, and.." Gohan began but was interrupted by a loud voice from the pre-teen who had just barreled through the kitchen doorway.

"Uncle Goten!" Pan said excitably, running towards Goten.

"Hey Panny!" Goten said, bending down as Pan leapt at him. Goten propped her up onto his shoulder and stood up. There was a small thud as pan hit her head on the roof.

"oww that hurt." Pan said ducking down a little and rubbing the top of her head.

"Oops sorry. I forgot how tall you're getting!" Goten smiled.

"Well I am almost 11! Jeez!"

"I know I know." Goten said lowering her to the ground. "so you been keeping up with your training?"

"Ya! Grandpa and Dad have been teaching me lots! Want to see??" she asked with a wide grin.

Goten grinned back, and ruffled her hair. "Maybe later when we go to train Panny, I have friends over." Goten nodded in Trunks', Bra's and Alex's direction.

"Oh. Hey Trunks." Pan began, fixing her messed up hair. "Still as big of a nerd as ever?"

"Hey watch it little girl." Trunks smirked.

Pan frowned crossing her arms across her chest. "I'm not a little girl."

"Whatever you say kiddo."

"Want to fight about it??" Pan said raising her fists up.

"Oh stop it you two." Bra said stepping between Trunks and Pan. "You're always like this."

"Yea... sorry Bra." Pan apologized. Pan and Bra exchanged a quick hug. The two were quite friendly with each other despite the age difference. "You're brother is just a jerk."

"Oh I know." Bra answered in response, sharing a chuckle with Pan.

"So who's the pretty girl Trunks? And what's she doing around you?" Pan asked.

"This is Alex." Trunks shrugged off the second part of Bra's question. "Alex, this is Goten's mouthy niece."

"We prefer the term energetic right Pan?" Gohan said to his daughter.

"Right dad."

"So Goten about your question,"

"Huh.. oh right!." Goten said a little confused as to what Gohan was referring to for a moment.

"Why don't you go ask Dad about it?"

"Think he'll be able to explain it?"

"Yeah definitely, dad's actually pretty good at understanding stuff if he really cares about it.. He's just out in the forest, shouldn't be too hard to find him."

"Alright thanks Gohan." Goten said to his brother.

"When you find your father can you tell him dinner will be ready at 5:30?" Chi Chi asked Goten as the four teens were heading towards the exit.

"yea sure mom. Don't worry dad would never miss dinner."

It took the four of them about 10 minutes to find Goku, due to the sheer size of the forest that enveloped the land around the Son household. Goku's Ki signal was highly suppressed, but as soon as they got near him he was easy enough to find. He was doing some light, albeit loud, training. Goten was the first to find his father.

"Hey dad, what are you doing?" Goten asked watching Goku shoot off a weak ki beam from his finger tips.

"Oh hey Goten!" Goku said happily. "I'm just practicing my aim with Ki attacks. What are you doing out here?"

"Well we had a favour to ask.."

"We?"

"Yeah, the others should be here in a sec."

Almost as if on cue , Bra, Alex and Trunks all showed up.

"Ohhh theres the rest of you." Goku said with a smile. "It's good to see you again Alex."

"You too brother." Alex said smiling back to him. It was still awkward... but definitely less so then yesterday.

"So what did you guys up out here to ask me?"

"Dad, do you think you could tell us the Legend of the Super Saiyans?"

"Oh, yea sure. I'd be happy too. You should all know it really." Goku responded. "Alright, let's start from the beginning."
