Gohan's Freak Out
Disclaimer: This is part of an idea I've had involving a re-write of Gohan's High School experience, though when I'll get around to that, I have no idea. Its also been awhile since I've done any fic writing so this was a nice way to try and dip my fingers back into things. I've also still got PMs disabled on here due to the spam garbage FFN still has yet to fix.
The fact Orange Star High does these assemblies was interesting to Gohan since he'd came rather late in the year before. Though part of him had to squash the thought it'd make for an easy target for destruction since every student was present in the gym for this assembly. Which was being done to not only properly greet the returning students, but also introduce the Football team for the coming season. However, when a group of girls in uniform came out and began to dance, Son Gohan began to turn paler than normal. "Guh-Ginyu F-Force!" He got out hoarsely.
"What was that, 'Han?" Wondered Sharpener as he turned his head to look at his friend.
Who, along with himself, Videl, and Erasa, were essentially the school outcasts despite Videl's status in society. Sharpener's eyes widened as he took in the trembling and paler than normal sight of his friend. "The-They d-d-dance li-ke the Gin-Ginyu For-ce!"
Sharpener stared at his friend in concern as he looked towards the gym floor where the Cheer Squad were in action before looking back to the affectionately nicknamed 'Han. "Uhh… Videl, we have a problem!"
"What? What kind!?"
Sharpener pointed at 'Han and Videl's eyes widened and she wouldn't be alone as Erasa from her side of her best gal pal would do the same. "Come on, lets get him out of here." Decided Videl.
Who was sort of the de-facto leader of the group when the occasion called for it. The other two nodded in agreement and though it took a little time, they managed to get Gohan out of the gym and into the open air. The trio gave their friend some space to breathe and watched as he heavily sat down. "Th-Thanks, guys." He told them.
"You wanna talk about it, 'Han?" Erasa asked sweetly in concern.
"Just… Seeing those girls… Brought back some bad memories." Informed Gohan with a shudder.
Making his friends look at one another in concern. "What kind of bad memories?" Wondered a concerned Videl.
Gohan took a deep breath with his eyes closed as his body shuddered again. "The kind where as a 5 year old… You're forced to fight against a terrorist organization's most elite group and end up with a broken neck and spine. They may have acted a little goofy with their dance routines but the Ginyu Force was one of the most deadliest groups out there despite that…"
Due to how he was facing away from his friends, he failed to see the horrified looks on their faces. He froze when they all hugged him. "With us around, you are NEVER going to face that kind of Hell again!" Declared an emotional Videl and gained the agreements of Erasa and Sharpener.
All three wondering how on Earth someone that damned young could end up in a horrifying situation like that. Letting out a breath as his body calmed down, Gohan gave a small smile. "Thanks, guys…"
Author's Notes: So in a world where Gohan's trauma isn't ignored, I would think he'd be a little freaked out by dance groups like Cheerleaders due to their choreographed dance moves. It'd also explain where he got his dance moves for his role as Saiyaman in the Anime even if he didn't realize it.
