THE LAST CHAPTER HAPPENED ON A FRIDAY.
()-()-()
Gohan wanted nothing to do with this day, Monday. Not because it was Monday, mind you, but it was a day he had been dreading since he started school; Hallowe'en. The Super Saiyan did NOT want to leave his safe and non-judging bed, but a certain frying-pan that put Goku to shame had different ideas. After a few seconds of Chi-Chi yelling, Gohan got a shower, got dressed, ate breakfast, and flew off to school in a monkey costume equipped with a detachable mask. Once he landed outside of the city, he heard gunshots.
Immediately, Gohan started raising his power-level enormously, calling for Goten. Within seconds, Goten appeared running in his own Super Saiyan transformation.
"GOHANWHAT'SWRONGWHYDIDYOUCALLMEHERE!?" Goten rushed, and tackled the monkey costume.
Not bothering to deal with his questions about Goten's blond hair, he crouched down and patted the boy on the head. "I need to ask you the hugest favour, squirt." When Goten nodded excitedly, Gohan continued. "There are bad people robbing a jewelry store. I need you to beat them up, because I'm already late for school." Goten nodded again, and ran off in search for fun.
Gohan forgot about his bike and made a mad-dash for his school. Regardless, he was late by five minutes. He dropped his bag by his desk and slumped into his seat, and noticed everyone else's costumes. Sharpner was dressed up as Batman, Videl was probably still out fighting crime, and Erasa was dressed up as an angel; big fluffy wings included. Thank Dende they sat at the back of the class, or people would have seen Gohan staring at Erasa shamelessly.
After greeting Erasa with a peck on the cheek, he turned his attention to the front where Videl entered in a Catwoman costume. Disregarding his own safety, Sharpner cheered. Gohan and Erasa just looked at each other.
"I'm not sure if that's irony, chance, or planned." Gohan muttered under his breath, referring to the crime fighter being dressed up as a thief, and released his tail from his waist.
Erasa giggled. "I'm pretty sure it was planned, and ironic it is. Still, no matter what Videl says, I'm pretty sure that's a couple's costume." Erasa said, and turned to Videl, who was now seated. "So, you finally gave Sharpner a chance?"
Videl looked at her friend, then to Sharpner. "For the love of Kami, no." Videl sighed, earning a playful pout from Sharpner.
Gohan, in his sweaty golden monkey suit, turned to the front of the class where a lesson was not being taught. Questioning the school's authenticity for the umpteenth time, the PA sounded the principal's voice.
"Students, I have news from Mr. Briefs stating that anyone interested in martial arts can come downstairs to the gym for a friendly tournament. He also said that those who come downstairs will receive an additional one percent on their final grade regardless of how well they fight." Gohan knew what Vegeta was trying to do. The Prince of all Four Saiyans had the hybrid under his thumb. If he didn't go, Chi-Chi would quite literally beat him to death, wish him back, then beat him some more.
'Why today of all days? Everyone will see my tail…' Gohan complained to himself as he headed downstairs with Sharpner, Videl, Erasa, and other students.
"Erasa, why are you coming down?" Videl asked her childhood friend. Erasa grinned as a result.
"I'm going to compete, of course! No sense in letting you get your hands all over my Gohan." Erasa half-joked, and grabbed Gohan's arm, Videl's jaw to drop and Sharpner to swallow his tongue.
"Besides, Videl, you are the weakest of us four." Gohan said idly, and left a stunned Videl behind for a few seconds before she screamed like a banshee.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!? I AM HERCEULE'S DAUGHTER!" Videl screeched (A/N: Videl bashing is only beginning). The crime fighter marched toward Gohan before Sharpner stopped her.
"And you are not Hercule." Gohan stated before being cut off by Sharpner.
"Look Videl," Sharpner said, uncharacteristically saying her actual name, "You are certainly weaker than Gohan, what with his dad being the Son Goku and the fact that you can't hit him during spars, and we both know I punch harder and faster than you. The only reason you can fight crime is because you live off of your dad's fame."
Gohan looked at the two. "Shots have been fired." Erasa nodded her head in agreement.
"Not only shots."

Semi-finals; Videl versus Erasa, and Gohan versus Sharpner. It was well known that Videl, Gohan, and Sharpner were going to make it, with each of them being placed in separate blocks, but Erasa was a huge upset when she took down the biggest fighters the school had to offer. Now, it was Gohan against Sharpner, to see who would be facing the best girl.
"Same rules as before except for the fact that there is no time limit. Now fight!" Vegeta said.
Sharpner charged at Gohan, not wasting any time with shadow-boxing. Gohan walked forward, and jabbed Sharpner in the ribs with his fingers after dodging a punch to the shoulder, and backed off toward the centre, and slipped into Chi-Chi's fighting stance. Sharpner charged him again, making sure to avoid the fingers that brought Gohan to where he was. What he was not expecting was a kick to his right knee, followed by being thrown out of the ring by the legs. Gohan rubbed salt into the wound by taking a bow and sitting down on the ground, waiting for Videl and Erasa's match.
Vegeta stated the rules, muttered something about humans, and sat down beside the principal.
"You sure you're ready for this Erasa?" Videl asked as she entered the religiously known Satan Stance, a stance made for a tall, heavy fighter, not a small light one.
"You should ask yourself." Erasa countered, and entered the stance Gohan taught her; Namekian style.
In Gohan's opinion, you couldn't cut the tension with a sword, much less a knife. Videl charged and sent a flurry of punches at Erasa who, to the surprise of the students bar Gohan, dodged every single one of them.
"Come on Videl, you're going easy on me!" Erasa exclaimed as she kicked Videl's right shin. Videl stood up and started another set of punches, this time full speed. Erasa kept her stance and was now forced to block a few of them, but started her own offense. Gohan was watching intently, knowing Erasa would win. He thought about a fight between him and the blonde girl, and he was excited. His tail twitched happily as the thought molded into a reality when Erasa started pummeling Videl, eventually backing her out of the ring.
Videl was fuming and marched toward the Super Saiyan. "HOW THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT?" Videl raged, earning a smile from Gohan.
"With punches and kicks, of course." Vegeta bellowed at Videl, causing the crime fighter to shrink back into her seat. "Kakabrat, get in the ring now! Good, now that you two are here in the finals, there are some new rules: Forfeiting is not an option, cheapshots are now allowed, and I don't want to see any kissy-faces between you two." Vegeta lowered his voice for his next rule. "You can fly, but no blasts, got it?" The two finalists nodded and faced each other. Gohan leveled his power to Erasa's, and the two charged each other. Jabs and punches were either blocked or dodged, and kicking was becoming a major factor in the fight. Gohan landed a kick to Erasa's side, and Erasa landed a kick in Gohan's thigh. Both backed off and stared into each other's eyes with both a raging and passionate fire. They clashed again, but Gohan's tail was now loosening, and started to become a flailing sight to everyone in the audience. As the battle for dominance raged on, their feet left the ground for several seconds before lowering themselves again.
Gohan's Saiyan personality was in absolute Nirvana fighting Erasa, but his human side took over, and eventually upped his power to end the fight. With a quick jab to the sternum, and a spinning kick to the shoulder, Erasa was pushed out of the ring.
Vegeta stood up with a knowing smirk on his face. "We have a winner. Gohan, the freak with the tail, has come in first place." Vegeta announced. The entire gym was silent, including a news team that thought it would be a good idea to get Videl beating other students senseless when Vegeta informed them the day before.
With sweat pouring out of his nervous body, Gohan walked over to Erasa and helped her up. Ignoring the immediate gossip, the two grabbed their Hallowe'en costumes and ran for lunch.

School was finally over, and Gohan was eager to get away from the building. He and Erasa were planning to head to Gohan's house, but Vegeta, Videl, and several other people approached them.
"ERASA, GET OVER HERE!" Videl yelled, and dragged Erasa away from Gohan, while Vegeta wordlessly dragged Gohan to Dende knows where.
"Alright Kakabrat, looks like I need to teach you the Saiyan process for puberty." Vegeta stated, earning a confused look from Gohan. Sure Gohan and Erasa were probably a hot topic for gossip, but nothing too extreme was going on between them. "Before you start arguing, shut up. First, we Saiyans mate for life, literally. Once you mate with that human, you will literally die if you mate with another via heart attack. Secondly, you've been training her for less than a week, and the reason she is already able to fly, launch Ki-Blasts, and the sort is because she feeds off of your Ki, and your Ki is dependent on hers for you to be able to control yourself. Once one dies, the other has a good chance of dying. The only reason the Banshee stays alive is because she was never dependant on Kakarot's Ki, with him never being around. Lastly, once you mate with her, she will need to be in your presence for at least twenty-four hours every week for the first two months, or you both will become clinical psychopaths." Vegeta explained, ignoring the Super Saiyan's questions. The older Saiyan all but teleported back to capsule Corp, leaving Gohan to think while he tried to find Erasa.
Meanwhile, with insane person, Sharpner, and Erasa…
"So Gohan has a tail, you kick my ass, and I'm the weakest of the four of us?" Videl fumed. Her entire body was tense with anger, and Sharpner was trying his best to calm her down.
Erasa smiled nervously. "Yeah, pretty much."
Sharpner tried to hold Videl back, but Videl was far faster than the boxer. Erasa casually sidestepped out of Videl's tackle, and turned to her.
"VIDEL, STOP TRYING TO KILL HER!" Sharpner yelled, and held the raging girl back long enough for her to realize what she was doing.
Shrugging off the Batman-clad Sharpner, Videl started running out of the school's yard, and headed home. "Sharpner, go and calm her down. I'm going to find Gohan."

Gohan and Erasa met up, and decided to fly to Gohan's, until Gohan sensed his little brother in the city.
'If he's been here all day, I'm going to need Porunga to revive me instead of Shenron.' Gohan deadpanned in his mind. "Erasa, I have to get my little brother. It'll only take a second."
Oblivious to Gohan in the sky racing towards him, Goten was receiving congratulations from several officers after he 'played' with some criminals. Wondering what he'd do next, he decided to fly up, and bumped into his brother.
"GOTEN, PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T STAY HERE ALL DAY!" Gohan yelled.
Goten went over his options before replying. "Nope, I wasn't. But I was."
Gohan took his little brother and whipped him in the general direction of his house before returning to Erasa. "Good with kids, I see." Erasa gapped when Gohan threw the child at speeds that would put a fighter-jet to shame-ville. Gohan grinned.
"Don't worry, he can take whatever I throw at him; even if it's himself." Gohan turned to Erasa as they started flying toward Gohan's house. "So what do you want to do?" Gohan asked.
Erasa thought for a second. "Well, I never properly met your mom, so how about that?"
Gohan groaned. "The grandchildren gushing will never end…"
/Note de le Author/ So this is the longest chapter so far at 5 pages of Word Starter, and I am happy with myself. I don't have much to say for this except to say that this might actually be one of my favourite Saiyan Puberty things. I say that because a) I wrote it and b) It's what I was starting off with. So a roll of the dice will determine whether or not Sh/V.
