Fight 07
A Brief Appearance
Gohan was, once he managed to convince his new friends he had a ride, flying away from Satan City. Today was certainly more eventful than he thought it would have been. With his plans to help Videl he knew it probably would never be boring either. It was kind of funny actually. Hercule's daughter was an actual hero because she went out and saved lives regularly. He had to admire that about her.
He helps save lives as well, but it was different for her. Unlike him Videl could actually die from being shot. He would have never thought that Hercule was her father if they hadn't told him. She didn't look much like him at all. Nor does she act like him. "Must take most after her mother." Gohan mused to himself with a small laugh as he turned towards West City.
It didn't take long to reach Capsule Corporation. "Oh hey Gohan!"
He smiled at Trunks before ruffling his hair, "Hey."
Trunks felt annoyed as Gohan, again, messed with his hair. He was pretty sure that Goten's older brother did it because he knew it bothered him. "Don't touch my hair!"
Chuckling Gohan did it again, "Do you know where Bulma is? I need to talk to her?"
Trunks gave up, "Yeah. She's in her lab. Go on in."
The half-saiyan entered the lab to find Bulma leaning over her desk. Clearly sketching out a design. Unable to ignore the temptation he walked up behind her silently. "What are you up to?"
She sat up ram-rod straight and a heavy pencil line scratched across her paper. Turning around, "GAH! How many times do I have to tell you not to do that Gohan?"
He gave her the familiar Son grin and rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry Bulma."
"Why are you here today? It has to do with the mysterious Gold Fighter in Satan City, doesn't it?"
Gohan flushed and knew this was going to be embarassing. He also knew it had to be done. So he told her of his desire to help. As well as asked her to make a costume and for an easy way to change into it. Of course it didn't help when she burst out laughing part way through.
"Just remember it is your own hide if Chi-Chi finds out without you being the one to tell her."
Now THAT he didn't want to imagine. A shiver went up his spine at the thought. "Thanks Bulma." He almost left when he remembered what happened earlier with his friends. "Do you suppose you have a spare jetcopter I could have?." Gohan grinned again, "It was hard convincing my friends I already had a ride and that would be a big help in appearing like a normal kid."
The scientist blinked before nodding, "I probably have something. Stop by tomorrow before school."
