Torture at CC: chapter 3: Arrival at CC
The morning of the field trip, most of the students arrived at school extra early. Most were dressed in very nice clothes hoping to make a good first impression on the richest woman in the world, Bulma Brief. Most of the students were just talking while waiting for their bus to arrive to take them to CC while others, like Erasa and Sharpener, were doing last minute touchups on their hair or clothes. Erasa glances at Sharpener and grins. "This is going to be so great. I wonder what Bulma Brief is like. Will she be nice or mean? Will she be as smart as people say? What is her husband like? Is her son the cutie pie everyone says he is? Most importantly though, how well does she know Gohan and his family?" Just as she mentions Gohan he shows up wearing casual clothes; black jeans and a black long sleeved shirt.
Sharpener glances at Gohan and frowns. "Hey nerd boy, did you forget something? We're going to CC today bud, not to a funeral. You're supposed to be dressed up." Gohan just looks at him weird. "Just to go to CC? Why? I go there all the time. It's no big deal." He glances at what Sharpener was wearing and notices the bright yellow suit set and grimaces. "What are you trying to do? Blind someone? You look like an oversized canary in that thing." Alot of laughing could be heard from the students nearby as their class nerd disses the class jock. Some of them look surprised that Gohan would actually insult someone like that then shake it off as their bus starts to pull up. It stops in front of them and out pops Android 18. "Hello class, I'm 18 and I will be your escort to Capsule Corp for today. For some of you boys" notices them drooling "I'll warn you now. You touch me and you'll wish you had never met me." She grins when most of the guys quickly back away from her. "Alright, now if you would be so kind as to get on the bus with your stuff, we have a long drive ahead of us." She gets back onto the bus followed by the students. Videl shows up and notices Gohan didn't have his stuff. "Gohan? Where's your stuff?" Gohan looks at her and grins. "Hey Videl, umm actually, it's already at CC. My mom knew I was going on the trip so she already sent it over there." He follows Videl onto the bus after getting one of her patented glares. //This is going to be a very long trip, I can see it now.//
Dende chuckles drunkenly from the Lookout. "Oh you have no idea just how right you are Gohan old friend. mwahahahahha." Piccolo and Mr Popo just stay well away from Dende and hide for they knew what awaited their dear friend.
Back on the bus, the students were talking excitedly as the trip to CC got underway. Videl and Erasa shared a seat, Gohan sat alone. Sharpener shared a seat with another guy and the seats were paired up guy/guy and girl/girl the rest of the way back. 18 looks at the group from the front of the bus and shakes her head at the noise level. She sits down next to Gohan wondering how he did it every day with this group. Almost the entire trip to CC involved Videl trying to interrogate Gohan and getting round-about answers but nothing specific. She fumes silently. On the way to CC a large busload of people had started to slide off the bridge they had to cross. Gohan looked at the busload of people helplessly and mentally informs his dad of the situation. His dad makes the scene in a split second and saves the busload of people getting stares from the kids on Gohan's bus. Of course this came as no surprise to 18 and Gohan so they just watched like it wasn't a big deal. This gained only more whispers from the kids about how weird Gohan and this 18 were.
Due to the circumstances, Videl tried to drill Gohan for answers on why he didn't think that the situation was just plain weird. "Sorry Videl, but I've seen that kind of thing happen before. To me it's no big deal. Sorry." That answer caused the entire busload of students to get quiet in an instant. The rest of the trip to CC was uneventful and unusually quiet as the students still hadn't recovered from the shock of the situation earlier. It took 3 hours to finish the trip between Orange Star High and Capsule Corp. When they finally pull up outside, the students snap out of it, grab their stuff, and get off the bus.
Vegeta was busy training when the bus arrived. Sensing Gohan's arrival along with that of 18 and a bunch of other people, he smirks and shuts down the GR. He wanders into the lab nearby and looks at Bulma. "They're here woman." Bulma scowls at her husband but heads outside to the waiting students. "Hello class and welcome to Capsule Corporation. I'm Bulma Brief and I will be showing you around CC while you are here. Don't forget, this trip is supposed to be educational so it won't all be fun and games. Your teacher expects you to write a 2 page report on what you learned while staying here the week so please don't dissapoint your teacher. Also while you are here, do not wander the halls of CC at night. I don't want to be responsible for any accidents that might and probobly will occur should you decide on this course of action. I expect you all to remain in at least pairs if not groups when you decide to explore. If you're going to get lost, at least you'll be in a group to try to find your way out. Now, any questions?"
That question was the mistake as Videl instantly raised her hand. "How well do you know Gohan and his family?" Bulma looks at Gohan a moment then back at Videl. "Well I've known his dad since him and I were both kids. I met Gohan when he was 5. His mother and I are old friends as well. Any other questions?" Nobody else seemed to have any questions for the moment. Two blurs dart towards Gohan a moment later and latch on to his legs. Gohan glances down at Trunks and Goten and shakes his head. "You two better not cause trouble while my class is here...otherwise me and the two of you...have a date with Mr GR." The two demi-saiyans cringe at that thought and nod before taking off again. Vegeta shows up outside and looks at Gohan before trying to drag him towards the GR for some training. A clang of metal sounds out as Bulma whips out the frying pan and smacks Vegeta upside the head with it. "Leave him alone Vegeta. You can have your way with him later, but for right now, he stays with his class." The saiyan prince looks at her before scowling and crossing his arms. He huffs slightly and doesn't try it again, not yet anyways.
The class enters CC and stop in wonder at the sheer size of the place. Gohan doesn't really notice and settles onto the couch nearby. The class gawks at him for a moment before sitting down in various seats while waiting to see where they would be roomed.
Ok, theres chapter 3. Hope you like it. Next chapter the class will get to go to their rooms and begin their tour of CC. I might need a few ideas on what activites for the students to do. Heres some ideas.
A: pool fun B: follow Gohan around and try to find out more about him C: bring Chichi into the picture with her frying pan of doom(not mine of course)
D: have Mirai Trunks make a surprise visit E: have Vegeta and Gohan sparring in the GR in SSJ mode and have the students see this
Let me know what you think and please review on the chapter. Thanks.
