Chapter 2
It was Monday morning. The day of the trip to Capsule Corp. Gohan found himself putting a very nice black suit here with a white undershirt and a red tie on.
On Monday the week before, Gohan had talked to Bulma about not exposing any of their secrets during the trip, and she said she'd try her best to not say anything that could ruin Gohan's chance to be normal.
After eating breakfast, Gohan started heading out the door. "Bye Mom! Bye Goten! I'll see you guys on Friday!" He shouted as he walked out the door, but before he could make it five meters from the door, a hyper half-saiyan ran out the door and hugged his leg.
"I'm going to miss you." Goten said, tearing up. Gohan bent down and looked at him face to face.
"Hey there. There's no reason to cry. I'll be back before you know it, and when I'm back we can play some games." Gohan said.
Goten sniffled. "Really!? Do you mean it?" Goten said in a voice that was turning into a happy one, causing Gohan to laugh.
"Of course, I'll see you soon squirt." Gohan said as he started ruffling his little brother's hair. He was about to take off, but before he could, his mom came running out the door.
"I almost forgot! Here's the capsule with your clothes!" Chi-Chi said as she handed her oldest son his clothes. "Make sure you have some fun alright?"
"I will Mom. See you soon." He said as he hugged his mom one final time and took to the sky.
"Bye Gohan!!!" Goten shouted as he watched his brother fly away at the speed of light.
When Gohan finally arrived at the school, he looked at his watch. 7:58. Right on time. He thought as he made his way to his first period class. Once he arrived in class, he found his seat next to his three friends.
"Hey Gohan! I like your suit, it looks good on you!" Erasa said, she sounded like she was in a very good mood.
"Hey Erasa, and thank you." He said as he looked to the other two of his friends.
"Hey guys." Gohan said to his other two friends who sat opposite of Erasa.
"Sup Brains. Ready for the trip?" Sharpener asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Gohan replied. "Hey Videl." He said, looking behind Sharpener and at the raven-haired girl.
"Hey." She said. After a few minutes of awkward silence in the group, Erasa broke the silence.
"So, what did you guys do over the weekend?" Erasa asked.
"I went shopping for this outfit and worked out a bit at Satan's Dojo." Sharpener replied, looking at Videl to see what she did.
"I got a lot of training in. The next tournament is coming up in a few months, so I need to be ready." Said Videl.
"What did you do over the weekend, Gohan?" Erasa asked.
"Not much really. I mean I got to see a friend I hadn't seen in a long time, that was cool." Gohan said. It was true, he had trained with Piccolo twice over the weekend.
"That sounds like it was fun." Erasa said.
"Yeah, it was cool." Gohan responded as the teacher walked into the class room.
"Class. Class. Settle down. I'm just as excited as you all are." Mr Richardson said with a smile. "It is 8:10, so make sure you have everything and make your way out to the bus that's in front. The bus will leave at 8:30, if you're not on, then you better find a way to get to Capsule Corp, because this is worth a grade." He finished.
"You guys got everything?" Erasa asked her three best friends, after each of them nodded, she continued. "Well actually I have to use the restroom. Let's just meet outside in front of the bus in like a few minutes." Erasa said.
Minutes later, the four met outside the bus, they walked in together and sat in the very back. Gohan and Sharpener in one seat, Videl and Erasa in the other. Surprisingly, the school actually gave them the good bus. It was air conditioned, it had softer seats, and many more features the other bus did not have.
After three or four hours had passed, almost everyone had fallen asleep. Gohan was among the few who were still awake. He was staring at the scenery as they made their way through West City. They were only about ten minutes from Capsule Corp. The half-breed started scanning the bus to see if anyone was still awake. Other than the bus driver and two teachers, only one person besides him was still awake, and that was Videl.
Minutes had passed and the bus pulled into the guest drive way at Capsule Corp. The teachers all got up and stretched. Mr Richardson went through the rows waking every student up. Once he got to the back row, he woke up the friends of Gohan and Videl. Once they both awoke from their slumber, they yawned in unision.
"Are we there-." Erasa said before yawning. "Yet?" She asked, letting out yet another yawn after she finished.
"Yeah. We're here." Gohan replied. This is going to be a long week. Gohan thought as he took a deep breath.
Once Mr Richardson had made his way back to the front of the bus, he opened the doors of the bus. "Okay students, listen up!" He shouted. "If you haven't figured it out already, we're at Capsule Corp. In just a minute we will be getting off the bus and will head to the gate to meet Miss Briefs." He informed the students, causing a lot of chatter. "Class!" He shouted, getting their attention. "Make sure you have all of your things, or they'll be left on the bus."
After a minute or two of people checking for their belongings, the students of Orange Star High School exited the bus and walked to the fancy gate of Capsule Corp. Once everyone had finally escorted the bus, Mr Richardson clicked the button on the gate, sending an alarm to Capsule Corporation as a doorbell would. Seconds later, the door to Capsule Corporation's main building was open. And out walked a near-middle aged women with blue hair. Bulma Briefs. The Bulma Briefs. Once everyone realized who it was, chatter emerged from the crowd. Everyone was talking about the most famous woman in the world.
"Oh my gosh! It's the Bulma Briefs! Sharpener pinch me, I must be dreaming." Erasa said. In response, Sharpener pinched the blonde causing her to squeal. "I wasn't serious!" She shouted as she punched the boy in the shoulder.
"STUDENTS OF ORANGE STAR HIGH." Bulma shouted through her microphone, getting the attention of every student in sight. "My name is Bulma Briefs, And I am the CEO of Capsule Corporation. I am glad to be able to host this field trip, and I hope this trip will not only teach you life lessons, but will be a ton of fun. If any of you need to go, the restrooms are to the left as soon as you walk in. In about five minutes after I let you all do business, I will give you all a tour of Capsule Corp. Once that is over with, I will assign two people to each guest room. Some boys and girls will have to share a room, but no funny business. You must change in the restroom, because there is cameras in every guest room. There is a curfew, and it is at midnight, everyone must be in their room at that time, preferably attempting to sleep or sleeping. And lastly, if you see a short man with spiky black hair, stay away from him, he is my husband, and he doesn't exactly like guests." Bulma said, causing gasps from the crowd. Bulma was married!!??
"If you do not follow these rules, there will be consequences that none of you will like. Now follow me into the building in a single file line please." Bulma said. She knew there would be a few kids who didn't hear a certain rule, so she made sure she'd repeat herself over the next day or two. "Once again, bathroom is to the left." She said through her mic as she entered the building.
As students walked in, most went to the left immediately after such a long trip, others went to sit on the couches. Although, one decided to talk to Bulma.
"Hi Mrs Briefs! It's an honor to meet you. I'm a huge fan of yours!" A bubbly blond-haired girl said.
"It's nice to meet you too, but please call me Bulma. Mrs Briefs makes me sound old." Bulma said with a chuckle. "And you are?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Erasa. I love your dress by the way!" Erasa complimented, Bulma was wearing a red dress that complimented her figure well, but not too much because afterall, there were a ton of teenage boys in the building.
"Thanks! I worked hard on making this yesterday. You excited for the week here?" Bulma asked.
"I don't recall a time I was more excited!" Erasa said joyfully.
"That's great." Bulma said with a small chuckle. "I'm sure this trip will live up to your expectations." She continued with a smile, and then realized everyone or just about everyone was out of the restroom. "Well, it appears everyone is out of the restroom, so how about we start the tour?" Bulma asked the crowd, causing uproar. Where even is Gohan? I haven't seen him once. Bulma thought as she scanned the crowd of students for the half-breed. There he is. She thought as she saw him talking to a muscular boy with long blond hair. "Then let's begin!" She shouted through the mic, causing everyone to cheer.
Never did I imagine some highschool students would be so eager for a tour of this place. She thought with a chuckle as she made her way to the hallway. "This is the main hall way. It is pretty much three hallways joined together. To the left is the invention room. We will be in there tomorrow. To the right is a storage room. Don't worry about that room though. We won't be going in there at all." She said as she continued down the hall. "Here is...well, I guess you could call it a hub, or maybe a lounge room for all you students?" She said. The room had a wooden floor with multiple couches and recliners with multiple tables by them with flatscreen TVs across from them. Bulma started making her way across the room. "And to the left there are tons of rooms for you students, including a gym, a game room that has air hockey tables and all that stuff, an arcade room with classic arcade games and normal games on the CCBox and CCS4 that my kids play, there's an indoor football field, an indoor basketball court, there's a boxing room, two indoor pool rooms, each of the rooms have multiple hot tubs, and there's many more things over there that I can't think of right now." Bulma said, leaving students in awe.
"Will we get to use those rooms ma'am?" Someone asked.
"Of course. The only team you will be doing anything that isn't related to having fun is from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The rest of the time is yours." She said, causing a lot of people to chat and cheer. "To the right are the guest rooms." She said as she made her way down the guest room hallway. "The rooms on the right side of this hall way are just storage rooms. Don't worry about those. Your rooms are all on the left." Bulma said. After a minute of walking, they finally got to the point in the hallway where the hallway got wider, allowing more people to walk by, helping the claustrophobic students. "This is the cafeteria." Bulma said as she walked by a giant window displaying the giant cafeteria. "The robots will serve you breakfast, lunch, and dinner in there." Bulma said. "Oh, and I will tell you all through the overhead when each meal is served." Bulma said as she continued walking down the hallway.
"And here it is. The last room for you guests to worry about. This is what we here at Capsule Corp call the GR, which stands for Gravity Room. It changes the Gravity in the room at the press of a button. I built this one just last week. It is for the students only. My husband has one, but it's more intense. Also, students nah only come in here from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM while I have assistants monitoring. Shall we test it?" Bulma asked the crowd, in response everyone started shouting. "I'm assuming that's a yes." Bulma said with a laugh, and opened the door. It's a big room. Bigger than it looks, so it won't be crowded. Everyone come on in, and I'll show you what this room does." Bulma said. Most kids were reluctant to walk in. The first to walk in was a raven-haired girl, the next was the blond-haired boy Gohan was talking to earlier, and after those two walked in, everyone else seemed to follow. Once everyone was in, Bulma walked to the center of the room by the control panel. "This is where the real fun begins." Bulma said as she clicked a button of the panel.
End of Chapter 2Well, that's a wrap for Chapter 2! I hope everyone enjoyed it. Gohan got off easy, nothing has been a problem...yet.
I re-read this chapter twice, and I didn't see any MAJOR mistakes. Hopefully there isn't any. Here are my replies/answers to reviews. :)
TeeLee123: I hope it lives up to your expectations. These first two chapters have been decently eventful, although I should address something that will make Gohan's life more miserable here soon.
Bob Roos: I'm not the greatest writer yet, but I feel like I'm getting better because of small things like this. I tried to make sure I did what you said and hopefully I can find something to make this story unique. If you have any ideas, please make sure to tell me. :)
Reverseflash: Thanks. I will try to make the fic even better as it goes on. :)
Sndwitch: Thank you, I hope it continues to be as good.
Aaron Leach: Thanks man. I appreciate you always showing support. I hope this can make it further than most my other stories and you and everyone else continue to enjoy it.
Anyways, until next time folks!!
