Chapter 3

I am Saiyaman

author's note: I thought about it and I think I'll keep notes on the story it just seems easier but I'll probably put them on the end of each chapter... Oh and I tried to be more careful with run-on sentences and sorry if this chapter seemed hurried because it kind of was...

Gohan woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. He turned it off, stood up, yawned, and walked to the bathroom. He made a use for the toilet, then took a shower. After he had got dressed, he walked into the kitchen where his mom was making breakfast.

"Good morning, Gohan," Chi-Chi said, "How did you sleep?"

"Not to bad actually," Gohan replied, He had had a dream the night before, which was rare for Gohan. Ever since his dad died he didn't have anymore dreams. The dream was embarrassing, so he didn't tell his mother. After wolfing down his breakfast, Goten finally was awake and he came out to eat.

"Hey Gohan," He yapped excitedly, "Wanna play in the woods?"

"Sorry, buddy, but I gotta go to school," Gohan replied, "but I promise when I get back I'll play with you, okay?"

"Oh, alright," Goten replied sadly, "I wish you didn't have to go to school, Gohan,"

"Now that's enough Goten," Chi-Chi said, "Gohan needs to go to school to make something of himself in life. Soon you'll have to go to school as well, Goten,"

"aw...I don't wanna go to school," Goten said, "I'll never go and you can't make me!"

"You watch your tone with me young man!" Chi-Chi said angrily, "And your going to school whether you like it or not!"

"I-I'm sorry mommy," Goten said, "I-I'll go to school if you want me to,"

Goten used to really want to go to school, to be like his big brother. But ever since Gohan told him how boring it was and how you only get to play one hour of the day at school (Gym class), Goten no longer wanted to go. In fact he was determined never to go. Goten and Chi-Chi would get into fights about it. Which Gohan thought was weird, since Goten was still years from being done with homeschooling, let alone going to high school.

"Well I guess I gotta go," Gohan said, interrupting his mother's lecture about going to High school, "I'll see you guys later,"

Chi-Chi only stopped for a moment to say: "Okay Gohan, give me a kiss before you leave,"

Gohan kissed his mom on the cheek and then left the house, leaving them arguing. His mother was going to win, she always did. Gohan took a look around before leaving, there was morning fog, near the surrounding woods. The morning air was cold, there was no clouds above him but there was in the distance. Orange rays of light were glowing through out the woods, making the trees gleam. Ahh mornings he thought while taking a deep breath. Then he took to the sky, wind speeding past him. He flew higher up till he was level with the sun. He closed his eyes and soaked up the sun. He was still cold because of the air, but the sun felt warm against his face.

"Uh-oh," He said out loud to himself, "better change, I'm going to be near the city soon," He then pressed the button on his watch and changed into Saiyaman. He was still outside the city, but he changed just to be safe. When he arrived, he flew to the middle of the city and looked at his watch.

"Still got about twenty minutes before the first bell," He said out loud again, "Hey! Maybe I can get that amazing coffee I got yesterday, before class starts,"

His spirits were beat down however, as he saw a yellow dot in the distance speeding toward him. Now! of all times! He thought, I have to lose her fast, if I'm going to make it to school in time! Videl was flying at Gohan at full speed, Your not getting away this time! She thought I'll find out your true identity Saiyaman! She didn't even stop, when she was about to crash into him, Gohan raised out his hand and stopped it. The force pushed him back a little, but it soon came to a stop. He was going to fly away, when she did something he did not expect. She jumped out of the copter straight towards him and latched onto his arm. She made a grab for his helmet, but he managed to avoid her while still holding onto her.

"ARE YOU INSANE!" Gohan yelled, he was freaking out over this girl who was completely fearless.

"I'm going to find out who you are, one way or another!" she yelled back just as loud, "I have a parachute, and besides you won't drop me!" She kept grabbing for his helmet, kicking and punching him with all her might. She hoped that if she would punch him hard enough he would falter and she could get his helmet off. She was wrong though, punching him was like punching a steel girder. She knew even with all her training that her knuckles would still be red after punching this guy. After a while of struggling and her jumping to different parts of his body, Gohan had had enough. He grabbed the sides of both her arms and pulled her off of him.

"Let me go, jerk!" she yelled, Gohan's face was quite red when he turned her around and pulled on the string for the parachute and let her drop. The shoot opened successfully and she was falling slowly downward to the ground. Gohan then flew over to her jet copter which was hover in place. His guess was that it was on autopilot. He flipped the power switch to off, then he turned and took out the key and set it on the seat. He caught it before it could fall and set it on a nearby roof. While he was flying away he could hear her yelling and cursing on her slow dissent to the ground. He flew as fast as he could towards the school. When he got there he took a sharp turn around to the back, changed back and dashed through the back doors. He went up a flight of stairs and dashed into his History class and ran to his seat. There was two minutes left till the bell.

"Is something wrong?" said Erasa who was sitting next to him, he did not know that she was there so hearing her made him jump and fall out of his seat.

"Sorry, are you okay?" She said apologetically

"I'm fine," Gohan said still breathing heavy, "I'm glad your here though I need your help,"

"What do you need?" She asked.

"When Videl comes in tell her I've been here for the last half hour, please," He replied

"What's-"

"Just tell her please Erasa!"

"uh...okay I will,"

"Thank you," He said, breathing a sigh of relief and getting back into his chair. The bell rang and the rest of the people came into the class. Sharpner came in and sat down next to Erasa. Which made Gohan uneasy, because Videl will be sitting next to him. Meaning he was going to get hounded with questions once again.

"Why are you so sweaty nerdboy?" Sharpner asked,

"It's uh...warm in here," Gohan replied, "and I'm wearing a sweater vest so..."

"yeah-yeah," Sharpner said, "I'm a nerd, I'm always sweaty and nervous, I also wear sweater vests,"

Sharpner continued to mock him, and history class started out as normal. The teacher was an elderly man who would talk about the subject of the day, pass out an assignment, then pass out himself, on his desk. Which meant (naturally) that this class became very loud, but the teacher slept like a rock. When Videl finally made it to class, the teacher was already asleep and even Sharpner was done with his assignment.

"Hey Videl what took you so long? Sharpner asked,

"Yeah you were gone so long that even Sharpner finished the assignment," Erasa joked.

"Hey!" Sharpner said,

But she ignored them and looked straight at Gohan with a piercing glare and said, "Where were you about an hour ago?"

"He was here with me an hour ago, Videl," Erasa said,

"Right sure you were," she said without even looking away from Gohan, she was certainly not convinced but she let it slide since she had to get and complete the assignment.

The rest of the day went very slow for Gohan, especially economics, which seemed to last forever. He was really excited for art class were he could talk to Erasa alone. Slowly but surely, the hours slipped by until he was sitting on the round table in the back of the art room, alone with Erasa.

"You finished with your drawing?" she asked, "Good turn it in, and we can get started,"

Gohan eagerly turned in his drawing and walked back to the table.

"Good for starters, why-" Erasa started,

Gohan anticipated this,"Please just don't ask about earlier," '

Erasa really wanted to know, but she also had a guess, "She is obsessed with the idea that your Saiyaman ya'know?"

"She really thinks that and tells you about it?" Gohan asked, now getting nervous

"I'm her best friend, she tells me everything," she replied, "and yes, she is hell-bent on you being Saiyaman,"

"Wow, I wonder why," Gohan pretended to ponder to throw off suspicion,

"Beats me," Erasa said, "so...are you?"

Darn it! I'm cornered he thought, his mind was racing trying to think of a way outta this. His only option was to lie. But he didn't want to lie to her, she was helping him, and she already lied for him.

"The truth is..." Gohan started, "I-I am S-Saiyaman"

Her eyes widened and smile crossed her face, "Really!" she said, "That's so cool!"

"Please d-don't tell anyone," Gohan pleaded, "especially not Videl!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" Erasa said, "don't worry I won't tell soul, my secret identity for yours!"

"Thank you, just please don't!" He said, "It would not go well if you told other people,"

"You have my word, don't worry," she said, then she started laughing "but you know what this means though right? This means you have an edge on the other guys, she is already obsessed with you,"

The rest of the hour she shot a frenzy of questions at him like "where did you get your powers?" and "why if your a superhero, do you have such a terrible wardrobe?". And a lot more questions that he was uncomfortable about answering. He was actually glad when the bell rang for fifth period.

While Sharpner started talking about women vulgarly, Gohan fell asleep on his desk. This happened sometimes when Sharpner didn't shut up, the strange thing is that he had the same dream as the night before.

He was staring up at a cloudless blue sky. He was lying in grass and surrounded by flowers of all different colors. He heard a girl's voice call slowly: Go-han!

He kept hearing it over and over, till he finally decided to get up. When he did he gasped, flowers seemed to stretch on forever over hills and at the edge of huge mountains. Go-han

He started to run for the voice. It was getting farther and farther away, he tried to fly to it but for some reason he couldn't. Finally he ran over a hill and he spotted a girl down below her back was turned and she was walking away. Her hands locked together behind her back and she was humming, she was wearing a long white dress, and she had short raven colored-hair. For some reason he just had to see her face, he ran towards her as fast as he could. When he got to her, he grabbed her shoulder and turned her around, but before he could see her face he was blinded by a bright white light...

He woke up and found himself on the floor. Sharpner had pushed him of his seat and said: "Jeez nerdboy you snore so loud! It's like listening to rocks in a blender!"

Everyone started laughing but Gohan didn't notice, his mind was elsewhere, mindlessly he got up and sat back down. He thought about it and he thought the girl in his dreams was Videl. But...he didn't like it, Videl hated flowers, the only thing she hated worse, was wearing a dress. That wasn't Videl whoever the girl in his dreams was, he refused it to be her. And man if she knew he was dreaming about her, she would punch him in the face.

"Hey, nerdboy," Sharpner said to get his attention, "there's a party at the lake tonight, whole school is going, do you wanna go?

"I uh-"

"Come on nerdboy live a little," He said before he could answer,

"I guess..."

"Excellent, you got a ride there?" He asked, "How about a swim suit?"

"I don't know where the lake is, and no, I don't have a swim suit,"

"Wow nerdboy your hopeless," Sharpner said, "I can drive you there, and I guess you could use one of my swim suits,"

"Thanks Sharpner," Gohan said, Gohan went back to his assignment while Sharpner mumbled something like "sticking my neck out for a nerd" and "friggin' Erasa, threatening me like that!"

After school ended Gohan met up with Sharpner out in the student parking lot. Gohan, like usual, had no homework so all he had on him was the clothes on his back. Gohan looked at Sharpner's car, he wasn't much for cars, but he knew it was a hover car. On the side it said GT-500, Gohan didn't know much about cars but he heard classmates talk about this car all the time. So he said:

"Nice car, Sharpner,"

"Thanks nerdboy now get in," Sharpner said, "We gotta stop at my house before we go to the lake,"

When Gohan got in, the first thing he noticed was that the floor was littered with empty cans and fast food bags. The drive to his house was about fifteen minutes. When they got there Gohan was surprised. Sharpner's house was a capsule house, but it was three stories tall. It looked like three bowls stacked upside down.

"Surprised?," he asked, reading Gohan's mind, "My Mom is a doctor and my Dad is a lawyer,"

They pulled in the driveway and went into the house.

"Sharpy is that you dear?" A female voice called,

Sharpner's face went a deep shade of red, when his mother came out of a room off to the left.

"Oh, Sharpy it is you!" his mom came over and hugged him.

"Mo-om!" Sharpner said helplessly

"Oh I'm sorry dear I didn't see you had a friend over," his mom said, "I'll just leave you guys alone,"

"Sharpy?" Gohan asked after his mom left,

"Don't even start!" Sharpner warned,

They went up to Sharpner's room and changed into swim suits. They then came back downstairs and when they were about to leave, his mom came out one more time and said:

"Sharpy! You can't leave without giving your mom a kiss!"

"Mo-om"

Sharpner reluctantly kissed his mom's cheek and they set out the door.

"If you tell anyone nerdboy-"

"Don't worry my mom makes me do that too"

"Yeah but that's expected from a nerd, I have a reputation to keep though! So if you dare tell anyone you are dead got it?

"Yeah I got it," Gohan said, " I won't tell a a soul...Sharpy"
