Chapter 3
"This is where the real fun begins." Bulma said as she pushed a button on the panel.
Out of nowhere, everyone in the room started to float in the air, causing nearly everyone to start talking about the strange feeling they were experiencing.
"Woah." Videl said as she tried to make her way to her three friends who all seemed to be together. This is harder than it looks. Videl thought. Maybe I should act like I'm swimming? She thought. So she did just that. She acted like she was swimming to get to her three friends. It made it easier, although she probably looked very stupid attempting the idea.
"Hey Vi." Erasa said as she tried to start walking around in the middle of the air. "This is so much fun!!" She continued.
"Yeah, it is fun, but it's weird. Like how are you supposed to walk around in this Gravity?" Videl asked.
"Gohan's doing just fine." Sharpener said, looking to Gohan who was walking back and forth about ten feet away from them.
He's walking in this gravity like a pro. It's like he's tried this before. Videl thought before shrugging it off.
Suddenly, everyone started falling to the ground. Not literally falling out of the sky, but slowly falling back to the ground so they wouldn't land too hard.
"Well that was fun huh?" Bulma asked.
"Yeah! That was fun! I wanna do that more!" A nerdy kid named Pencil shouted.
Bulma laughed. "You will get many more chances to use it." She reminded him. "Well, let's all get out of here so I can show you one last thing." Bulma said. After everyone cleared the GR, Bulma closed the door and led the students out the door that was at the end of the hallway. "This is the garden. We will have a party back here on Friday before you all go back to Satan City. And don't be scared, all the animals in here are friendly. Including the dinosaurs, but our party won't be near their side of this place, because I'm sure some of you don't like the idea of being around dinosaurs." Bulma said with a laugh, causing mild chatter. "Well, anyways, let's go back inside and to the student lounge area. I will assign rooms once we get back there."
After a minute or so of walking in a crowded hallway, the students of Orange Star High School finally made it back to the student lounge area. "Okay students, please line up in a single file line and I will pair you with the person in front or behind you, so get by someone you like." Bulma said, which cause almost every student to start talking to one and another getting in a specific order.
Gohan got behind Sharpener who led the group of friends, behind Gohan was Videl, and behind her was Erasa. Once the line had shrunk and Sharpener was in line, Bulma asked him what she asked everybody else. "And you are?"
"Hey Mrs Briefs. I'm Sharpener Pencil, and this is Gohan Son." He said as he pointed back to Gohan once his friends name came up.
Gohan's face got much more serious to remind Bulma not to say anything, and luckily, no one saw.
"Gohan huh?" She said with a smirk. "Like the rice?" She said with a grin and handed Sharpener the keys. "Room #33."
"Thank you." Sharpener said, he had to be polite, because he was talking to the most influential women in the world afterall. Once the two teenage boys got out of line, they decided to wait for the other two of their four-way friend group.
"Hey Sharpie? What room did you two get?" Erasa asked the blonde boy.
"#33, what about you two?" He replied.
"#34! That's so cool, we get to be in the rooms right next to each other." Erasa said as the four walked back to their rooms. "So Gohan, why haven't I heard you say one word since we got here?" Erasa asked, curiously.
"Uh, I-I don't know. I guess it's because I'm not used to all this new stuff I'm seeing because I'm used to the mountains." Gohan lied, faking a chuckle. Good one Gohan. He thought.
"That makes sense." Erasa said. "You were really good at walking in that GR thing." She said as they finally arrived at the neighboring rooms.
"Yeah I guess I was." Gohan said with the typical Son Grin.
"I want to try the other features on it. If their is the no gravity mode, I bet there is a double gravity mode used for training or something." Videl said.
"Yeah, I bet there is." Gohan said with a nervous chuckle. "But we should probably check out our new rooms." Gohan suggested, causing the two blondes to nod.
"Yeah, you're right." Videl said as she opened the door to her room, which Gohan did as well in response.
Once Sharpener walked in, he was stunned. "Wow, it looks a lot smaller on the outside." He said looking around the room. There was two 60" flat screen televisions on the walls across from each of the two queen size beds. There was two dressers, one on each side of the room.
"It does." Gohan replied.
"I gotta use the restroom. I'll be back out in a minute." Sharpener said as he closed the door to the bathroom, leaving Gohan alone in the guest room.
Gohan laid down on the bed he wanted. It's been a better day than I expected. As long as Bulma keeps it up and I don't see Vegeta. Gohan thought. I better keep my ki suppressed and not get mad so Vegeta doesn't find out I'm here. Gohan was in the middle of deep thought when someone's voice was heard on the overhead speaker.
"Students. Please make your way towards the cafeteria. It is time to eat lunch. Mrs Briefs will instruct you on how to order food from the robots." The lady said. "I'll repeat, it is time for lunch." Exactly as she finished, Sharpener walked out of the bathroom.
"Was someone in here?" He asked.
Gohan shook his head. "It was a women on the overhead telling us it's time to eat lunch. I'm going to go. I'm starved."
"Aren't you always starving?" Sharpener asked with a chuckle.
Once the two caught up to Erasa and Videl and made their way to the lunch room, they were greeted by Bulma. "Hey kids, ready for lunch?" She asked the group, only asking because Gohan walked in at the same time.
"I'm always ready for lunch." Gohan said be put his hand over his stomach.
"Sounds like it." Bulma said, causing the group to burst out laughing. "Well, I better show the rest of them how to order food." Bulma said, looking at Gohan.
What does she mean by the rest of them? And why was she looking at Gohan when she said it? Did Gohan somehow know how? Had Gohan been to Capsule Corp before this trip? That would explain why he was so good at waking in the GR. Videl thought as Bulma started talking. Wait, didn't he say he had a friend that worked at Capsule Corp who gave him his jetcopter?
"Hey Gohan, if you live in the mountains, then how do you even get to school?" Videl asked the new kid.
"Um...Well, I uhhh, fly." Gohan said, nervously.
"You fly huh? What model jetcopter do you have?" Videl asked, testing to see if he actually had one.
"I uh, don't know, but it's a new one. I have a friend who works at Capsule Corp and she gave me it." Gohan said, and before Videl could ask about that friend, the bell rang.
He did say that didn't he? Videl thought. I better pay attention. I'll focus on Gohan later.
"When the robot asks you what you want, just choose any food you want. We have just about everything on the planet." Bulma said. "Now you can all eat." Bulma finished.
Videl had no idea how to get to the point where the robot asks you what you want, so she just followed everyone else. Soon, a line seemed to form and Gohan was the very first in line. Maybe he has been here before, he's too shy to be in the front of a line. Videl was still more than thirty people away from him, so it's not like she could've asked him.
"I would like the Son Gohan special." Gohan whispered in the ear of the robot.
"Your food will be ready in just a minute." The robot said. "Please find a seat, we will have your food ready in just a minute."
"Why'd you whisper in it's ear-thing Gohan?" Sharpener asked.
"I don't like talking about how much I eat aloud." Gohan said confidently. He already thought of what he was going to say if he was asked the question.
"Oh, and sit in the corner by that huge window." Sharpener said, pointing to a window. He wasn't referring to the window that displayed the hallway, but a window that displayed the garden at Capsule Corp.
"Okay." Gohan said. "I'm going to wait for my food first."
"Son Gohan. Food for Son Gohan." A robot said. Gohan went to retrieve his food.
"The food is in this capsule." The robot said, handing him the food capsule.
"Thanks." Gohan said, the robot nodded and walked off. Gohan walked over to the corner and placed his capsule on the table, causing a plate that was completely stacked with food to appear. It consisted of multiple meats, such as Chicken, Ham, Turkey, Dinosaur, and more. It had multiple sandwiches made with the meat, and sandwiches made with peanut butter and jelly. The robots weren't as good of cooks as his mom, but they were still good. Gohan started mowing down on his food, eating the sandwiches first. He made sure he ate a slow Saiyan pace so people wouldn't stare at him. He sat on the seat that had his back facing everyone else, so no one saw him eat. Soon, Sharpener, Erasa, and finally Videl made their way over to their seats by him.
"Hey Vi." Erasa said. "What'd you get? I got the maccaroni." Erasa said.
"I got three ham sandwiches and some juice." She said, she tended to eat more than most people so she could get all the energy she needed to fight crime.
"So you're not going to be fighting crime this week Videl?" Gohan asked.
"Saiyaman's got it." She said, causing Gohan to gulp slightly.
Did he just gulp? Nah, I'm just imagining things now. Videl thought as she finished her first sandwich.
"You guys want to go to the game room, arcade room, whatever they call it after this? Mrs Briefs said we could do whatever afterwards." Erasa said. "And after that we can go swimming." Erasa said. This trip was definitely living up to her expectations.
"I'm down." Sharpener said as he took a chunk out of a drumstick.
"I'm in." Videl said as she looked at Gohan who was mowing down on a ham.
"Awm en." Gohan said while chewing on a piece of ham.
"Talfing wiff your mouf full esn't polite." Sharpener said, while talking with his mouth full, causing everyone to laugh.
After about twenty minutes of occasional talking, Bulma informed the students that lunch was now over.
Gohan and company were about to make it to the door, but a blue-haired women stopped them.
"Hey, Gohan." Bulma said to Gohan, covering her mouth after noticing she slipped up. "Can you...ur, follow me to my office? I need help with something and you have the highest grades in your class, so I figured you would be the best option."
"Sure." Gohan said, looking back to his friends, they all seemed kind of confused on how Bulma knew Gohan by name, but they figured it was because he was the star-student of Orange Star High. "I'll find you guys." Gohan said and started to follow Bulma, not even realizing a certain raven-haired girl was following the two of them.
Once Gohan arrived at his godmother's office, they closed the door and she sat in the chair behind her desk. Videl placed her ear on the door to listen to their conversation.
"Welp. I don't know how long we can keep this going kiddo. I slipped up right there and Trunks is coming back from your place tomorrow. I can't force him to stay at your mom's. She's probably going crazy with the two of them together already." Bulma said with a laugh. Gohan usually kept the two boys busy, but without him, Chi-Chi probably was going nuts.
Everything was muffled for the savior's daughter, but she still managed to pick some of that up. Keep what going? Was there something she was missing? And did Bulma say something about Gohan's mom?
"Yeah, you're right. But I can't have them let anything slip. I'm trying to be normal here, the last thing I need to do is let everyone know that I'm your godson." Gohan said.
Videl's eyes widended and she covered her mouth. Bulma is Gohan's godmother!!?Suddenly, she heard someone take a step in the room. She ran.
Gohan was walking in circles in the room when he sensed a ki spike from Videl...who happened to be just a few meters away from them. Was she...Did she... "I need to take care of something. I'll be back." Gohan said as he walked out of the room, leaving Bulma confused.
She's already made it to her room. Gohan thought as he made his way back to the hallway in which the rooms were located. We're 33, so Videl and Erasa's room is 34 because it's just to our right. Gohan thought as he made his way to his friend's door and stood just outside it. Gohan took a deep breath. Sharpener and Erasa were in the arcade room. Good, this way he would be able to talk to Videl alone. With one last deep breath, he knocked on the door.
End of Chapter 3
What did you guys think about this chapter, I know it was short, but that's just because I decided not to have Gohan confronting Videl in this chapter and in the next one instead. I've had this chapter pretty much complete, but I haven't been able to come re-read it because I've been so busy. I really appreciate all the support on this. I'm not the best writer...not even close to a good one, but I try. This has been my most "noticed" story I guess you can say. Again, I really appreciate it. Please leave a review and suggest some things I can make happen later in the story. Again, I'm not the best writer, so I need all the help I can get lol. Please try to be positive in the reviews, I understand I mess up a lot, but I'm working on it. But anyways, thanks for reading! Until next time :)
