Author's Note:

I just wanted to mention before this chapter begins that I really appreciate the reviews and it helps me get to work on this chapter. Also, in the previous chapter, there were a lot of blanks because apparently whenever I wrote mr. -insert name- it would show up as a blank.

So for reference, the first teacher we met was mr. scissors, the teacher who yelled at gohan to read was mrs. Hamilton and Gohan saved Lime from mr. Borbonne when she was a young girl.

Chapter 2

Lime walked into class with a disgruntled expression. She looked at Gohan's seat and saw that he wasn't here yet. Lime dropped her bag off at her seat and went up to the roof. She figured that if Gohan was flying around, he would have to land on the roof when arriving at school. As she waited for Gohan on the roof, she pulled out her phone and began looking up more of the Saiyaman news.

There weren't many pictures of the Great Saiyaman, but from what she did see, the costume was a glaringly bright green dress tied with a belt on a black jumpsuit and fitted with a red cape. She also groaned when she realized that Gohan was wearing a big bug head helmet.

Just as she opened up another news article, The Great Saiyaman landed on the roof of the school. Just as Gohan was about to click his watch and switch back into his school clothes, Gohan heard someone loudly clearing their throat.

"Ahem!"

"Eh? Lime?"

"You know, Mr. Great Saiyaman, I think a better name for you would be The Great Lime Popsicle."

Gohan was taken aback but he quickly regained his composure and used his fake Saiyaman voice to say, "I appreciate the suggestion, kind citizen! I apologize but the Great Saiyaman must leave now."

"Leaving so soon? Is that any way to treat a girl when she's been waiting for you this entire time? Besides, The Great Saiyaman has to attend class."

"Attend class? I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Jeez Gohan, you can drop the act, also, when was the last time you watched a superhero movie? Your costume, name and fake voice are super lame."

"Superhero movie?"

"Yea, like any of the Marxel movies or the Gray Ghost movies?"

"I haven't seen any of them."

"Really? How are you going to go around playing superhero but have never seen a superhero movie?"

"I -I uhhhhhh."

"Fine, before you take me back to Chazke Village on Friday, let's go see the newest Marxel movie, Dependers: Infinity Crusades"

"A movie?"

"What are you busy or something?," Lime asked.

"No, not busy at all! It's just that I've never been to movie theater before."

Lime laughed and said, "Really? Then we definitely have to go!"

"Erm, I think I'd have to ask my mom first."

"Oh it'll be fine, just tell her it's part of your superhero training!"

"I see, in that case, I'll definitely come."

"Great! I've been meaning to see that movie too. I just haven't had to chance. This is perfect! Anyways, let's go to class. And take that ridiculous costume off!"

"Oh right."

Gohan clicked his watch and took off the costume. He began to follow Lime down the stairs back to class when it dawned upon him that Lime had already figured out the secret identity of the Great Saiyaman. Gohan stared off towards the sky in defeat. He had only started running around as the Great Saiyaman earlier that morning, and yet his secret identity had already been discovered.

Then again, this was Lime we're talking about here. She would never reveal any of his secrets. Despite how slippery she was, she was trustworthy. With this affirmation, Gohan relaxed and ran to class.

Gohan got to class just in time and slid into his seat. Erasa greeted Gohan and asked, "Wow, you actually got here on time? That's insane, you just drove over a thousand kilometers!"

"Hehe, like I said, I'm really dedicated to my education."

Erasa sighed and gave him a look of disbelief. Even she wasn't buying his shtick. Unfortunately, he didn't seem like he was lying about living in the District 439 and Erasa couldn't figure out for the life of her how Gohan could get to school on time.

Videl arrived a few minutes after class started.

"Sorry, I'm late sir. I was in the sewers fighting off a gang called the Mutants. I was forced to fight their leader in a mudpit."

She was covered in mud and other brown stuff and her hair was all messed up.

"It's fine Ms. Satan, I see you're a bit tardirty."

The entire class went silent in a heartbeat. You could hear a pin drop in that classroom as everyone stared at and wondered, how far would this man's shitty jokes go?

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You STINK!"

"GET OUT!"

"QUIET DOWN! I clearly have the superior sense of humor," said, "Videl, seriously though, you should go to the locker room and take a shower."

"Right, okay sure."

Gohan looked at Videl with concern. Everyone could read his face like a book. He was obviously very worried about her and Lime looked on with a smirk on her face.

Lime and Erasa had the same thought running through their minds, "did Gohan have a crush on Videl?"

"Hey Gohan, Videl's plenty strong, no need to be concerned. Rumor is that she's almost as strong as her dad," Sharpner said.

Gohan scrunched up his mouth and thought, "Strong? I'm more worried that she's as weak as her dad."

Gohan had no concept of how strong a normal human being was supposed to be. His idea of a normal human being was Yamcha, who could effortlessly chest press 5 tons.

When Videl came back into the classroom, Gohan scanned her from top to bottom checking for injuries. She seemed relatively unharmed which caused Gohan some relief.

Erasa poked Gohan in the side and whispered into his ear, "So Gohan, our Videl's a cutie isn't she?"

Gohan's face flushed red and he scrambled for words, "N-no, that's, yes, I mean, she's pretty, but I mean, not that, what I meant was, uh that I was just worried, yea, I was just worried, that's all, a high school girl shouldn't be going off fighting hardened criminals like that, what if she got seriously hurt?"

Videl punched Gohan in the side and said, "I'm fine, I don't need you of all people worrying about me."

Immediately afterwards, Videl turned and looked at her fist, which was red. She felt like she had just punched a steel wall.

Videl threw Gohan a shifty look. Gohan, realizing his mistake, immediately fake winced in pain from Videl's punch.

The class went on and just before it ended, announced to the class, "Alright class, as you know, the Fall Ball is in a couple weeks. I was asked by the student council to tell you all to come and participate. Bring a date or bring a friend, it's up to you. You know, I remember when I was your age. I had girls climbing over each other to be my date, after all, who wouldn't date the captain of the football team?"

He proceeded to flex his withered biceps and chuckled to himself in pride. He was ignored.

Sharpner immediately leaned over and got the attention of his friends. He ran his hand through his hair and said in his most flirtatious voice, "Well, ladies, which one of you wants to be my date?"

"Gross."

"No."

"Sorry."

"Uhh, I'd love to but I don't think I count."

They all turned to Gohan and stared at him for a few moments.

"Umm, did I say something weird?"

Sharpner facepalmed and said, "forget it, Geeko."

"But"

"Just forget it!"

With that, they all got up and prepared to go to the tree where they normally had lunch.

"So, we can all agree that we're all going to that dance, right?" Erasa asked.

"Sure, I don't have work that night," Lime said.

Videl leaned back onto the grass and said, "Maybe, if nothing happens that night."

Sharpner said, "Absolutely, I'm gonna kill it on that dance floor."

"I'm probably not gonna go."

"What? Why?" Erasa asked.

"I don't think my mom would let me go to a dance."

"Really? That's a shame. You should try to convince her otherwise, it'll be really fun!"

Sharpner added, "Yea, in all honesty these events are pretty fun, considering it's your first year, you really should come to this dance. It'll be a good opportunity to meet other people."

"Huh, I guess I see your point, but the problem is, my mom is as stubborn as a bull. I doubt she'd let me go, but I'll try."

"Hey, if she still doesn't let you, you can always sneak out."

"Somehow I think that would be the worst possible option."

Sharpner shrugged and took a bite out of his chicken breast.

"By the way, did you guys hear about that new superhero, Great Saiyaman?" Erasa asked.

Videl got up and said, "Yea, I've heard about that ass. Who does he think he is? Showing up out of nowhere and taking my spotlight?"

Gohan nervously chuckled and said, "Yea, who is that guy, totally weird right?"

". . . right."

Videl glared right at Gohan and began to pepper him with questions. Like why they'd never seen his car before, and how he manages to finish his homework if he has a six hour drive every day.

Gohan began to panic and stutter so Lime, being the friend she is, decided to step in and help out Gohan.

"Actually, I have something to tell you guys," Lime said, stopping Gohan's interrogation.

"Amarillo confessed to me yesterday!"

Erasa started to choke on her food as she flailed around. Sharpner quickly patted her on the back to try and help her. When Erasa finally coughed out the piece of sandwich she was eating, she yelled out, "WHAT?!"

Lime was taken aback by Erasa's yell, as was the rest of the group.

"AMARILLO? THE HOT HUNK OF THE SOCCER TEAM?"

"Hot . . . hunk?" Lime asked.

"AM I WRONG?" Erasa squealed.

"N-no, I guess not."

Erasa took a deep breath and continued, "Well? When are you two going on a date?"

"Well, I actually rejected him."

Erasa pretended to faint and fell backwards. Sharpner caught her as she fell and Erasa springed back up. "WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU?"

"Come on Erasa, we all know he's a fucboi. As soon as he finds someone else, he'll forget all about me."

Erasa thought about this for a moment before agreeing.

"True. Sorry girl, I guess I just got distracted by his perfectly chiseled abs and his shar-"

Lime put a finger to Erasa's mouth and shushed her. "Stop, before you fall for another fucboi."

Sharpner was currently feeling his abs and muttering under his breath, "I have perfectly chiseled abs too y'know."

Gohan sat next to Sharpner and said, "Are you as confused as I am?"

"Uwah!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Nothing! Don't sneak up on people like that. Ahem, anyways geeko, uh, I mean, Gohan, can you do me a favor?"

"A favor? what's up?"

"I needyou to be my wingman?"

"Wingman? Uhh, I can't fly man."

"No, you idiot, like, a wingman is someone who backs you up when you try to get a girl."

"Oh. Um, sorry, but I don't think I'd be much help to you. I'm clueless when it comes to girls."

"Really now? That's not what I see. Agh it's fine, just do what I ask you to do, please?"

"Oh, sure then."

"Alright, I'll text you when I need your help."

After classes ended, Gohan went out on patrol and caught a couple of muggers and promptly delivered them to the police.

Lime went to work as usual and went home afterwards to more good press bout the Great Saiyaman. Most of the news channels joked about how ridiculous his costume looked, but all of them agreed that the Great Saiyaman was a force for good.

. . . . . .

As the sun rose on the next day, Sharpner sent Gohan a text to ask Erasa what she thought about him. Gohan gladly agreed to help. Since Sharpner was the only guy friend he knew at Orange Star, Gohan was eager to help him out and get to know what a normal male friendship was like.

As Gohan flew around on patrol that morning he noticed a car chase in progress and a distinct helicopter chasing after it. The side of the helicopter had the numbers 666 painted in red and was rapidly chasing the stolen car. Gohan swooped in picked up the car with one hand.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Videl yelled from her helicopter.

"Just casually saving the day, Ms. Videl," Great Saiyaman shot back.

Gohan dropped the car off at the Satan city police lot and knocked on the door of the police station.

"Hello?" he asked in a singsong voice, "I have a pair of criminals for you."

As soon as the door opened, Gohan flew away and went back to the skies. Videl's helicopter drove up next to him and she yelled out of the cockpit. "Hey! What's the big idea? I had that under control!"

"What do you mean? I'm just lending a hand."

"I don't need your help! I can handle myself just fine! Now buzz off! Who are you anyway?"

"Me? You know exactly who I am."

"I do? You're Gohan aren't you?!"

"Wrong! I'm *pitiful drumroll* The Great Saiyaman!"

She scoffed and replied, "More like Great Pain in my ass."

The Great Saiyaman tried his best heroic voice and said, "Nonsense, I think I'm plenty of help."

"Ugh, whatever."

Videl proceeded to fly away and went on her own patrol.

"Glad to be of service!"

"Screw off! Nobody needs your help you quack! "

Gohan shrank back from that last comment. He knew when he wasn't wanted. He flew onto the school roof and clicked his watch to switch back into his regular clothes.

"Well hello, Great Lime Popsicle. How's patrol?"

"Hmm, oh, I ran into Videl and she shooed me away."

"Really? Why?"

"I . . . don't know!"

"That seems rough, don't let it get you down though, you're doing good work. Just look yourself up, there's lots of people who appreciate what you're doing."

"R-really?"

"Yea! Here, gimme a second," she pulled out her phone and did a quick search of Great Saiyaman. She showed Gohan all of gleaming results.

Great Saiyaman, a symbol for good

The newest superhero in town, Great Saiyaman, a force for good

A freakishly strong clown, Great Saiyaman

"Huh? Oh, well, that last one was about your costume. Seriously, that needs to change."

"Is my costume really that bad?"

"Yes."

"B-but I think it looks stylish. Isn't it hip?"

. . . .

"Gohan?"

"Yes?"

"We're from the boonies but that's no excuse for being a bumpkin."

". . . I-I see. . ."

"Who designed your costume anyway?"

"M-my godmother."

"How old is she?"

". . . Good question."

"Yikes."

"Alright, I want you to see what a proper superhero looks like. After the movie on friday, think about what kind of hero you want to be," Lime added

"The kind of hero I want to be?"

"Yea, there's the dark, silent types like the Gray Ghost or the bright symbols of justice like Strongboi or neighborly sources of comfort like eightleggedarachnidman."

"I see."

"You'll understand better once you see the heroes in the movie."

"Really? I can't wait!"

"That's awesome, I'm also excited. I haven't seen Grandpa in months."

"Oooh, I wanna meet him again too. I haven't seen him in years."

"Great! I'm sure he'd love to see you again. Bring your dad too! They seem like they knew each other. We need to get to class too."

"Oh yea . . . Right, Let's hurry." Gohan said with a touch of melancholy.

When Lime and Gohan got to class, Lime sat down in her seat and began to talk with Erasa. Gohan sat down in his seat too, organizing his pencil case. He was trying to decide whether or not to ask Erasa about Sharpner. He looked over at Sharpner and mouthed the word, "now?"

Sharpner vehemently opposed by shaking his head and making X's with his arms.

Gohan took the hint and decided to ask Erasa later, when he found a chance for them to be alone.

In the meanwhile, as Lime and Erasa were talking, Videl and Gohan came up and they both shipped them for some reason. Maybe it was because they seemed like they had chemistry? Nah, the only time when a taundere relationship like that turns into a perfect marriage is in a shounen battle manga.

"They're perfect right?"

"You think so too?!"

"Silence! We're in the middle of class young lady!"

"Eeek, sorry ma'am."

The day went by in a flash. Gohan managed to ask Erasa what she thought about Sharpner right after lunch and Erasa's answer was actually the most surprising thing that happened that day.

"Sharpner? He's cool? Why?"

"Oh, I mean, I feel like he comes off as a jerk so I wanted to see what you thought of him since you two seem like good friends."

"Ohhh, yea, well, Sharpner's an interesting guy. He grew up in the Lower East Side in a project. He's a bit rough around the edges which is why he comes off as a jerk, but he's a genuinely good guy. One time when we were going home together, a guy tried to mug me. You know what Sharpner did? He grabbed the mugger's arm, and like, wrapped it around his back until he dropped his knife. Afterwards, he bought the mugger a meal from Windy's and convinced him to go job hunting again. I heard they still keep in touch."

Gohan's jaw dropped, "Really? Are you sure this is the same Sharpner?"

"Yea, unbelievable right?"

"I never knew that about him. That's amazing."

"Isn't it? So, just remember, he's not a bad guy. I just wish he wasn't such a fucboi. He's broken a lot of girl's hearts. Some of those girls were my friends too."

"I see. Got it."

After school ended, Gohan relayed the news to Sharpner, and he actually shed a few tears.

"S-she thinks of me like that?"

Gohan nodded and flashed a toothy grin.

"Thanks Gee-Gohan I think I know what to do."

"That's great!"

Sharpner chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll see you later Gohan."

The next day, Sharpner confronted Erasa and confessed to her.

"Erasa, I know I'm kind of an ass, but I hope you'll give me a chance. I know you've had your heart broken by other guys, but I promise to be different. I'll treat you right, I promise. Will you be my girlfriend?"

And that's the end of chapter 2. What'd you guys think? If you liked it(or didn't) leave a review, I love hearing advice or criticisms. Btw, I know this Sharpner is crazy different from how he is in the anime, but I feel like no one is that much of an ass, so I decided to make him nicer.
