On her flight back home Videl had a lot to think about, the richest person in the world and Gohan's father who apparently lived like a hermit for at least a decade were apparently childhood friends. Regardless of what he wanted for himself, Videl didn't think there would be shame in requesting money to look after his family.

There were all kinds of people in the world however this person's story was way too unique for Videl just chalk it up to someone's own quirks. If Son Goku didn't want money or fame, why did he found a company and start working with some of the biggest names in the world, if he however did want those, why did he wait more than a decade after he became the World Champion.

His connection with her father was something she had never heard of before either. Of course she knew about LL35 security, while she was helping the police, whenever a place protected by LL35 was involved, she didn't need to do anything. But everything she knew came from her own experience while her father never said anything about it.

Regardless, she couldn't ask her father, although her pride wouldn't allow it in the first place the bigger reason was how her father had a weird relationship with another 'Son Goku' he would regularly go on month long trips with, claiming to have seen out of this world sights and having fought monsters stronger than anything on earth. No matter how she asked though, he didn't let her so much as see 'Son Goku' face to face let alone come with him.

Though in the photo Sharpner showed in Gohan's house it was easy to see both 'Son Goku's next to each other, Videl still wasn't certain they were different people. It wouldn't be difficult to get body doubles and there wasn't a clear indicator of them being unrelated, on the contrary they looked similar enough to be siblings.

After she came home Videl wrote down her thoughts, organized her thoughts and went to sleep after this long day. She hadn't had this much to think about in a long time.

The usual unfriendliness she had at school continued tomorrow morning, though she had more than enough ability to be close to everyone just like her father, she didn't want to extend to effort to please people who just wanted to leech off of her money and fame. There were very few people in this school who she trusted to not want anything from her in return of their friendship.

And in her eyes the most important of those were her childhood friends Erasa and Sharpner, they were sitting in the classroom talking with the living enigma, Son Gohan, when they saw her coming in Erasa excitedly waved at her. Videl didn't know where she got all this energy from. For as long as she knew Videl, there was always an aura of friendliness around her. Videl wondered if even that aura could be depleted.

After they all exchanged their greetings, Erasa asked her, "Are you going to come after school Videl or did you have other plans?"

Confused by her question she answered, "Where am I going to come?" as soon as she said this, the immediate blush on Erasa's cheeks along with her covering her mouth made Videl realize she was out of the loop.

Sharpner started explaining in her place, "We decided to take Gohan out for a tour in some locals places young people usually hang out in. Before the midterms and the finals get close, this bookworm should socialize a bit."

Videl however quickly found a problem with what he said, "You are going to use fake IDs!" she shouted. Though the fear in Sharpner's face and the apologetic look on Erasa were expected, there was only shock in Gohan's expression, it seemed like he wasn't aware.

"Haha you got us.", Erasa said, "But if you come we won't need fake IDs." without a hint of regret in her voice.

Erasa was right, as long as someone with the 'Satan' surname accompanied them, they wouldn't have any problems entering into some bars. However she still had reservations about abusing her privileges.

Sharpner said, "You know us, we aren't the kind to drink alcohol anyways. We just want to show him around." trying to convince Videl.

"Fine, but don't ever think about using fake IDs again." Videl didn't know what she'd do with these two. Last year she caught them in a bar entering with fake IDs, when they explained that they wanted to look cool in school she could only laugh. Was this the best way to look cool they could find?

This time they wanted to look cool to Gohan she bet. Videl didn't want to let Gohan commit a crime within only a week of being in Satan City.

All throughout the day it was obvious to Videl that Gohan still felt bitter about what she said about his mother back during the weekend. If he didn't know how to hide what he was thinking, it would be hard for him here in the city, con artists and the like would eat some naive village boy such as him alive.

Although Videl had to miss a lesson or two today due to a crime emergency, after quickly resolving it, she made it back to the school before the physical education, apparently this week's sport would be tennis.

As soon as the warm ups ended and the teacher told everyone to find someone to play with, Videl immediately went to find Gohan however she saw Erasa in his arm looking at her with her tongue out.

Videl immediately found Sharpner and they went together to the court next to Gohan and Erasa's. While halfheartedly playing against Sharpner she watched Gohan's match more than she did her own. However what she saw shocked her.

The man who she thought to have as high physical specs as her was getting completely dominated by Erasa. She had won three games in a row now without conceding a point.

Compared to the baseball game last week, Gohan's current showing was what she would have expected from a village boy who never did any sports.

However after watching it a bit more closely she realized that his absurd reaction time and physical strength were still there and Erasa was just abusing his lack of experience to beat him over and over again.

Every single serve of his was out and he couldn't return a single ball from Erasa. Not because he wasn't fast enough, but because he didn't know how to.

Erasa showed that she didn't have the best personality while competing as well. Her serves were extremely slow to make sure Gohan couldn't replicate them no matter how fast he learned.

The tides of the match finally changed however as Gohan finally got a serve in, it was clear from the balls before this, as long as he was accurate, Erasa had no chance of returning them because of their sheer speed. Even if she could reach them by some miracle Videl wasn't sure if her arm strength was enough unless she used the training she got from her.

After that serve Gohan won that game with four aces in a row. Videl was pretty sure that all four of those balls landed in the exact same spot. Doing that intentionally would have been hard even for her but Gohan did it unintentionally.

However this improvement had come too late, Erasa used dirtier and dirtier serves in the last game to win the set 6-1.

Though it was supposed to go for two sets Erasa said right after the first set ended, "I think I will call it a day, I shouldn't get too tired, we have a whole night ahead of us right?"

Videl went and whispered to Erasa, "Are you really going to quit the moment you think you might lose?" she knew better than to believe that Erasa was afraid of getting tired. She could play 4-5 sets against Sharpner and then still go run a marathon.

As someone who has been with Videl for more than a decade, she had also broken the human limits a year or so ago though she didn't show it in public at all. It was something she had done just for fun.

Erasa whispered back, "He definitely is a superhuman as well, playing against him felt like playing against you, except he isn't aware of it." this just confirmed Videl's suspicions, Gohan was someone born to be a fighter and he was just wasting his potential.

After school the four of them hanged out in a cafe for a few hours talking about life, when the time came Sharpner took the lead to take them to a place he was familiar with. Videl didn't even want to ask why he would be familiar with a night club.

The place Sharpner took them was an underground club called "Diablo Lounge". It was a bit outskirts but as far as Videl knew, this part of Satan City was still relatively safe. However she was sure that even if there was some problem, none of them would be in any danger.

While there were coming closer to the bouncer, Erasa panicked for a moment and took something from Gohan's chest. Videl looking at Erasa was enough to ask the question. To which Erasa replied by just showing her the pin of their school.

Videl didn't know what she should do with this naive boy. Even if he became a fighter, with his personality she didn't know if he could ever fight anyone.

At first the bouncer of the club did not look pleased at all to see four kids who didn't look of age yet however Videl showed him her ID along with some money that would be considered a decent amount by anyone who couldn't live in Satan Star.

His reaction was a bit slow at first, he wasn't used to blatant attempts at bribery like this however when he looked closer at the ID, his eyes opened in shock and gave way to the group. While passing by him Videl whispered, "Between us alright? Or I'll get this money back with interest, believe me."

This style of intimidation was something she hated but this was something she was doing to prevent her friends from doing something worse so she had to endure it for a night at least.

When they got inside, the smell of alcohol and the loud music along with dim lighting overwhelmed Videl for a second. She liked to rely on as many of her senses as possible so a place like this was not on the list of her favourite places, not even close.

She heard Gohan ask Sharpner, "So now what? I am unfamiliar with the procedure we should follow now that we are here as you can guess." with an apologetic look on his face. Though Videl didn't know why this kid not even of age yet would feel ashamed of not knowing what to do in a night club when he didn't know they existed this morning.

In the side Erasa laughed while holding her stomach and said, "Come with me, I'll show you around." then held his hand and dragged him off.

Videl said to Sharpner with a sigh, "Let's go, we shouldn't lose them." there was a bit of sadness in her voice. Both Erasa and Sharpner had become bolder and bolder as they got closer to the human limit and then broke it. The sense of independence and invincibility one got from strength manifested as a sense of justice in her and 'freedom' in those two.

This familiarity they had with night clubs was something she blamed herself for. When she asked her father about what she should do about it, he just laughed and said when they got a bit older they would realize what they did.

At this moment she was wanted, no prayed, her father to be correct about this. He was way more familiar with this side of the world than she hopefully ever would be.

When Videl and Sharpner caught up to Erasa and Gohan two of them were ordering drinks.

"I'll just have orange juice then, I never tried it before." said Gohan. Reading the labels on the back with some difficulty.

Erasa then said to the bartender, "We'll have one orange juice, one sparkling water and two colas. No alcohol please."

With an expression of disgust the bartender said, "Not only do they just let kids in here now, they are also cowardly as well. Back in the day they at least used to want to drink."

Just as Videl was getting angry and wanted to shout what was all that good about selling alcohol to kids, Erasa quickly said, "Haha, it has nothing to do with being afraid, we just don't want to go down before the night even started, it isn't even midnight now. Should we start drinking now and black out before this place is full? No way." while laughing.

Apparently not convinced by her explanation the bartender said, "Well we'll see but I'll be disappointed if you don't come back to buy some drinks later." while giving them the cups.

Videl took the sparkling water, though Erasa hadn't asked for her opinion, she knew her well enough to not need to ask. This reminded Videl that no matter what, she was close friends with these people.

Sharpner was asking Gohan, "You really didn't have orange juice before?" Erasa and Videl were also interested in the answer.

"No, not really, there were apples, pears, plums and some peaches around in the forest I lived but not many other fruits. So I didn't get to try them out." Gohan said. Sometimes she forgot that this boy was practically from a different world as her.

Sharpner said, "I should definitely treat you to a lot of food you missed out on until now. Remind me alright."

"Sure!" said Gohan. Videl was sure that Gohan was extremely happy at being included in their group and doing stuff together.

After drinking all they had, Erasa took Gohan out to dance. Though pretty much everyone dancing was drunk, the way Erasa acted wouldn't be felt out of place at all. Videl didn't really feel like following the two of them, it would be like searching a needle in a haystack anyways. The dance floor was big and filled up enough that it would be just betting on luck trying to find them.

So Videl just sat on the side with some water on her hand. The way the music changed smoothly and the lights kept everything in a blur, she was sure that just from the environment alone one could lose the track of time and spend an entire night without noticing, regardless of alcohol.

While she was talking with Sharpner about how his training plan should look like about 30 minutes after Gohan and Erasa started dancing, gasps from the entrance loud enough to overtake the music got her attention.

"It could be some celebrity," Sharpner said, "I saw a singer just two weeks ago."

Videl wasn't going to bother correcting Sharpner but after a second of rage building inside her, it burst out, "What were you doing here two weeks ago?"

Sharpner started scratching his head while trying to find an excuse but he froze stiff with a shocked expression which made Videl turn back.

There stood a boy no older than ten, probably younger with two guards around him. His short stature and lavender hair were unfamiliar to Videl. Though she was trying to keep her justice in check for just one night, seeing a young kid in a place where the smell of perfume and alcohol were easily the most dominant was unacceptable to her.

She immediately walked up to him and said, "Kid, if you are looking for your parents here just tell me their name and I can do it for you."

The first thing she recognized after she said this was that even though a stranger approached the person they were protecting, the bodyguards didn't show any reactions, either they knew she didn't have any ill will or they were just decoration.

However when the kid looked at her with his piercing blue eyes, Videl felt like she was in mortal danger the same way when she tried to challenge her father. Her muscles tensed and if she didn't stop herself, she would have entered a fighting stance.

The kid slowly talked, "Videl Satan, 17".

Getting reminded by a small kid that she wasn't allowed to be in here either made Videl recoil for a bit however she couldn't show weakness now more than ever. She replied, "Arrogant brat, half my age."

With as a small smirk as if he won, "Trunks Brief" he declared.

Along with the gasps from everyone around them, Videl had enough self awareness to know that her face had an ugly expression even without needing a mirror.

The prince of the Brief family and the heir apparent of Capsule Corp was one of the few people in the world who she couldn't coerce into doing something.

She begrudgingly asked to get him out of here as soon as possible, "Why are you here anyways?" maybe if he got what he wanted, he'd leave.

"What interesting thing can there be here, I am here to see you and him." he answered. Videl didn't know what connection she had to this kid but she knew who was the other person he was referring to.

So to not make him wait anymore, she said, "He is on the dance floor right now."

Without letting her finish Trunks cut her off, "I know where he is." and whispered something to one of the bodyguards next to him who went in to the dancing crowd.

After less than a minute, the bodyguard came back with Erasa and Gohan, Erasa giggled and said, "Wow Videl how did you find us?" it seemed like she didn't recognize that it wasn't her who got them out of the crowd while Gohan had a red face. They were both drunk.

Trunks said, "We should go to a room nearby to talk, it is very loud here." and started walking towards the emptier side of the night club. Videl wasn't exactly sure if those 'rooms' were meant for talking exactly but she agreed that they needed to get away from the crowds.

The moment Trunks got away a bit Sharpner whispered to her, "What does he want to do with Gohan?" asking a question that Videl would have shouted out herself had she not learned about Son Goku and Bulma Brief's connection yesterday. How exactly Trunks learned about Gohan being here was a question in and of itself however the web of Capsule Corp covered the whole world.

Videl was going to stop Trunks from randomly opening a door since it could be very risky however the room was empty. It was relatively small with only a bed and two couches but everyone found a place to sit regardless.

Erasa and Gohan still didn't look all too well, Gohan was somewhat sober, enough to recognize that he was being moved but Erasa looked like a someone who blacked out, closer to sleepwalking than awake. Trunks moved up to them and touched their wrists at the same time.

Just as Videl was about to make fun of him by saying what was he expecting to learn from their pulses, those two drunkards immediately started coughing and puking until light came back to their eyes.

"What was that?" Videl asked in confusion. She had never seen or heard of something like this in her life. How was it even possible to make people puke by just touching their wrist for a moment.

Trunks said in his usual nonchalant tone, "It is just a trick I learned from Uncle, nothing significant." Was Bulma Brief also a heavy drinker?

Erasa and Gohan slowly sobered up and had a look around. Though Gohan didn't look sure of what was happening, Erasa was looking at Videl like she was going to get killed by her and she probably wasn't far off from the truth.

Trunks Brief opened his mouth.
