Chapter 7: Special You

When lunch began, I headed to the library to be alone. Gohan said that he needed to go back home to finish some business of his. I'm guessing that he wanted to start on the packet that our history teacher, Mr. Kiske (keys k), assigned to us in second hour.

It's September 5th.

Today is mine and Gohan's three month anniversary. However, for some reason, I wasn't feeling as excited about it as I was on monday.

Gohan seems as though he has been trying to avoid me ever since yesterday. I mean, I only see him during school and that's about it.

Finally reaching to a bookshelf, I placed my hand on a random book and sighed.

Maybe if I wasn't so clingy I wouldn't be having a problem with the fact that Gohan wants time for himself.

Before I could pull the book out from the shelf, Ren appeared into the aisle I was in.

"Hey." He greets once seeing me.

"Oh, hi." I smile friendly.

"You know the others were looking for you. They wanted you to chill with them at the lunch table." The blonde informs me.

I shook my head. "No thanks, i'd rather be in here alone by myself."

"You always try to avoid everyone, huh?" Ren asks as if he knew something about me that he shouldn't.

This question made me uncomfortable. I slid the book back in the shelf and decided to just leave.

"Wait up!"

Ren chases after me and once he caught up, he again tried to make small talk.

"So, where is your cousin? I haven't seen him since the end of fourth hour."

"Gohan had to take care of some business. He should be back in time for biology." I answer.

Ren glanced at me then looked away. When we finally made it back to the cafeteria, most of the girls who were in there sprinted straight at him while shoving me to the side. From the looks of it, Ren looked highly irritated as the group of girls constantly kept trying to ask him out on a date.

Geesh, you can't be near that guy for a few seconds without girls flocking straight towards him like a pack of blood thirsty animals.

"Look what we have here." A voice says from behind.

I flipped around to see a smiling Videl.

"Videl, hey." I smile and wave.

"Hey." She says back.

The pig-tailed girl observed the ladies who were all circled around Ren.

"He's already popular with the girls at this school."

"Yeah." I agree. "He has been since he took a step in the building."

I noticed the group of guys gathered at a table biting on their napkins as they watched the group of girls all around Ren.

Pointing my finger their direction and chuckling a bit, I say to Videl, "Look at them over there. They look like they're going crazy not have a single girl by them."

Videl began to laugh too. "Well, they're some of the jocks at this school. The girls around Ren are cheerleaders. They all just want one of those girls to be theirs."

"What about those girls?" I point to a table where the females weren't exactly quite as pretty as the cheerleaders but seemed very kind and nice.

"Them?" Videl gives me a look.

I nodded. "Yeah. Why won't some of those jocks just go talk to those girls there? They seem really nice and available."

"No, no, no. Those girls are losers." A high-pitched voice joins in the conversation Videl and I were having. It was Erasa.

Losers?

"Why do you say that?" I ask.

Erasa rolled her eyes like a diva. "Tania, none of them really don't have any friends. They're so not cool with how they dress and besides, just look at them! They're ugly! What kind of guy wants that?!"

"Erasa! Don't say that!" Videl scolds her friend.

"I'm just saying it as it is." The blue-eyed girl blows on her polished nails.

I've never heard Erasa talk about people like that before. Could she just be in a bad mood today?

"Anyways Tania, don't you think you need a change of clothes?" Erasa asks after examining my outfit.

"Why? It's not dirty, torn, or wrinkly or anything like that."

"Yeah, but it's not even stylish!"

I shrugged. "So, and..."

"Just forget it." The blonde smiles.

Why should I care about stylish clothes? Erasa is beginning to remind me of Dominique. Always obsessed with what's in.

"Hey, Tania." Sharpner appears after using his hand to move Videl and Erasa in order to get to me.

"Hi." I say uncomfortably.

Sharpner threw his arm over my shoulder and brought me close to him. Immediately, I tried to push him away from me as gently as I could.

"There's no reason to be shy anymore Tania. Since Nerd Boy isn't around, we can finally show one another some affection." He tells me while attempting to pull me back into his arms.

No! I don't have feelings for you in that type of way.

"Gohan might not be around, but I am." Ren suddenly makes an entrance. "Leaver her alone, Sharpner. She doesn't want any type of affection from you."

Instantly, Sharpner released me then turned around and walked up to Ren's face.

"Listen up, Pretty Boy! Nerd Boy might be a good enough reason for me to have some self-control while by Tania BUT that's only because the two are related. As for you, you can just talk to your litle pigeon friend."

Oh yeah! Ren does keep trying to bring that bird into class all the time now ever since yesterday. The teacher never allows the bird in, so it just flies out the window and just stands on the ledge of the it watching the class from the outside. I swear... I always feel as though that pigeon is keeping an eye on me the entire time. It's really creepy. Videl did tell me though that he wanted to keep it as a pet or something like that.

"Or you can talk to me." Erasa hurries over and clings onto the blue-eyed boy's arm. "Since you're not surrounded by all those cheerleaders

Ren, once again, seemed annoyed by Erasa's persistent touching. However, he didn't say anything and just let her be. I, on the otherhand, was just glad that her arm grabbing switched from Gohan to Ren.

~~~~~

When lunch was over, I walked with Videl and Sharpner to class while Erasa and Ren followed but were way behind. Erasa was talking loud enough to him that I practically heard their entire conversation about what types of dogs they liked. Well, it wasn't much of a conversation. Erasa was basically the only one talking.

"Hello, Mr. Bird." We all greet as we headed to our assigned seats.

"Hello children." The biology teacher responds kindly.

Just as I walked past him, Mr. Bird shouted, "Stop!"

I did as I was told and waited for the man to speak. Mr. Bird stood in front of Videl, Sharpner, Ren, Erasa, and I.

"You know that your english teacher is looking for students to star in his brand new play that'll be hopefully making its theatrical debut later on this month?"

A play? But- Oh wait... I think I remember Mr. Crayer rambling on about something like that in english class earlier on today.

"I would love to join, but acting just isn't my sort of thing. Sorry." Videl declines.

Erasa clapped her hands together. "You can sign me up, Mr. Bird!"

Of course, Erasa's enthusiasm cracked a smile on Mr. Bird's face. "That's wondeful!"

The smile then faded. "However, this is a very special play. Since you were the first person to volunteer, you'll get to freely choose any willing gentleman to star in the play along with you."

At first, Erasa googly-eyed Ren but the blonde boy began to walk to his seat, clearly rejecting her.

"Mr. Bird!" A voice comes into my hearing.

I faced my attention to the door.

It's Gohan! He's finally back!

"Ah, Mr. Son. How are you?" Mr. Bird asks.

"I'm fine, sir." Gohan quickly replies. "But there's something that I need to tal-"

"Gohan! I choose Gohan!" Erasa screams out suddenly.

"Huh?" The spiky-haired boy scratches his head. "Choose me for what?"

Before my boyfriend could get away, Erasa charged right at him and tackled him to the floor in a hug.

"WAAH! ERASA!" He yelps while thrashing his arms and legs around.

Once more I could feel my eyes beginning to glare hard at my boyfriend.

Gohan noticed and his hair stood even more pointed up than usual while his face turned blue.

I crossed my arms and in a low growl, said, "Hey now, Erasa... Let's NOT get carried away...!"

The girl only wrapped her arms around Gohan's neck and pressed her chest against his.

VIDEL'S P.O.V

Erasa currently had Gohan pinned to the ground with her chest against his. For some reason, this irritated me a little.

"Come on, Erasa. You don't have to suffocate poor Gohan." I say.

"I'm not." My friend replies.

"Oh yea?" Sharpner speaks.

Erasa nodded.

"He's. Blue. In. The. Face!" Tania slowly says in a frightening voice.

When I looked closer at the outline of her body, a red flame was present.

What... Is that?

Hearing Tania's tone of voice, Erasa unhooked her arms off Gohan's neck. However, his face was still blue.

He's not suffocating, he's scared!

I cupped my chin and observed the scene.

But why would he be scared? I mean, it'll be understandable if he was never touched by a girl and that it's some weird phobia, but that's obviously not it. 

"Mr. Bird! Gohan would like to be casted into this play." Erasa speaks on Gohan's behalf.

"I'll cast him as the prince right now!" Mr. Bird hurries and grabs a pen and paper.

"Prince?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Mr Bird answers. "Didn't you know? Whoever is cast as the prince and princess in this play is going to have to kiss at the end of the show."

"KISS?!" Tania, Erasa, Sharpner, and I say in unison.

"Well, yeah."

"YOU CAN SIGN ME AND TANIA UP, SIR!" Sharpner immediately hollers.

"Yes sir, please sign us up!" Tania says, much to my surprise.

What?! No way! Tania wouldn't want to be in this play as Sharpner's princess. There is only one explanation for this!

I looked at Erasa who was with Gohan. The young man was still blue in the face.

Could it be that Tania WANTS to be in this so her and Gohan can play the lead role as the prince and princess?! But that's just revolting! I mean aren't they cousins?!

When I observed the determination in Tania's face, I had a feeling in my gut that I was being leaded on to believe a lie.

I crossed my arms and frowned. "Mr. Bird. Sign me up as well."

"Of course, Videl." The teacher says as he wrote my name on his sheet.

If I sign up then I can keep a better eye on the two so-called 'cousins'. 

"I thought you said acting just wasn't your sort of thing, Videl." Sharpner comments.

I cracked my knuckles. "I guess I change my mind."

REN'S P.O.V

Biology class was rolling to an end and Tania is still having a bit of an attitude with Erasa.

Geez, this girl needs to lighten up. Erasa doesn't even like Gohan. She has a crush on me and is trying to make me jealous by flirting with Gohan all day. She should really stop trying. I mean, come on! The only person she's making really annoyed is Tania.

"Hey." I lay a hand on Tania's shoulder.

She stopped her glaring and faced me.

"Chill..."

The girl blinked twice. "What are you talking about?"

Here comes the innocent act.

Leaning back on the chair, I kicked my feet up onto the table and crossed my arms behind my head to rest it.

Whatever...

"Nevermind." I tell her.

~~~~~

When school finally ended, Sharpner and Erasa headed off their own way while Gohan, Videl, Tania, and I walked out of the building together.

"So guys, I didn't know you lived way out in the 439 east district." Videl speaks to Tania and Gohan, breaking the ice.

"H-How did you find that out?" Tania stops.

"Never mind that! Just explain to me how you guys even get here in time for school."

Gohan and Tania exchanged looks.

"Umm, car..." Gohan lies.

Videl raised an eyebrow. "A car? You expect me to believe that?"

"To get from here to there in a car has to take atleast five hours long." I give my estimated guess. "Am I wrong?"

"No. Five hours seem right." Tania backs me up.

I could almost feel a chuckle about to let loose.

I almost feel bad for these two. Videl is so persistent and Gohan and Tania have to try so hard to cover up the fact that they're dating. Sucks for them.

While Videl was taking out a capsule with the number seven on it, I directed my attention away from the couple and onto the large yellow aircraft that now stood in front of me.

Woah! That thing looks like it could be sold for thousands, no! Maybe millions of zeni. If I get my hands on that, I can sell it and get the best medicines for Satomi without having to steal again.

"This is you guys' lucky day. I'll take you home with this plane of mine. Oh and trust me, this baby is a lot faster than any rusty old car." Videl flashes a smile at her vehicle. "So, how 'bout it?"

No sound came from neither Gohan or Tania. Videl immediately turned around along with me.

"They're gone." I say when I saw no figures standing behind us.

"Ugh! I should've known they would sneak away while my back was turned." Videl slams her fist into her other palm.

"Oh, well.." I sigh.

Gohan must've used his instant transmission to take himself and Tania someplace else. No problem. Hato will do my spying business for me while I train.

~~~~~

TANIA'S P.O.V

"Home at last." Gohan says as he pulled his yellow bag over his head and drops it on the floor in his room.

"Uh, Gohan?"

"What?" He responds, looking back innocently.

"Don't you think disappearing like that was a bit... suspicious?"

"Aww, don't worry about that." The half-saiyan reassures me. "It's not like Videl knows what the exact address to our house is anyways."

"You mean your house?" I correct my boyfriend.

Gohan blinked, blankly stared at me, then softly grinned.

Seeing this action, I looked down at the floor.

Why is he looking at me like that?

"No. I mean our house." He repeats.

"O-Oh." I speak while still looking away from him.

I could hear Gohan walking closer to me. He now stood a few inches away.

"Come on, Tania. Don't tell me you're getting shy again?"

"Ummm."

"Three months already." Gohan continues. "Three months since we became official."

"Yeah." I smile after hearing the tone in his voice.

Oh great... I can feel my face heating up again.

"Let's go!" Gohan enthusiastically grabs my hand.

The older boy began running out of his room and down the stairs. While making our way through the kitchen, of course Goku was there stuffing his face in a bowl of whatever it was that he was eating, completely unaware of the fact that me and his son was present.

"Tania and I are going out for a bit, dad! I'll see you later." Gohan says goodbye, proceeding to stretch the door open.

"Nimbus! Come out here, buddy!" He calls out to the cloud.

As expected, Nimbus made it's appearance in no time.

"Why are you in such a rush for?" I question after my boyfriend placed me on the cloud.

"I'm not rushing." He denies. "But hey, that camera you have can record too, right?"

I nodded while taking the camera out of my backpack. "Yeah. But-"

"Awesome! Do you mind if I borrow it?" Gohan cuts me off.

I handed it to him. "Be careful with it."

"I will."

Placing himself on the nimbus behind me, Gohan ordered the cloud to start flying. He had the camera up to his eye.

"Ah, cool! This has high quality! Great!"

"What's gotten to you, Gohan?"

"Nothing. Hey, why don't you say hi and wave to the camera, Tania?"

I smiled back at the new cameraman. "No thanks, i'll pass."

"That's no fun." Gohan comments, taking the camera away from himself.

I leaned back onto his chest. "Oh well then."

"I guess." Gohan then wraps his arms around me.

~~~~~

"Alright Nimbus, you can let us off here!" Gohan tells the cloud.

Again, Goku's son brought the camera up to his eye. I hopped off Nimbus and observed the area around me. Flowers of various kinds were bloomed and the grass was as beautiful as it could get. The trees were full of cherry blossoms and there were different species of animals wandering about.

"Wow. This place is gorgeous." I gasp.

Still aiming his camera at me, Gohan said, "Got it!"

I playfully rolled my eyes. "How about you put the camera down already?"

"Not yet." The older boy refuses. "Your reaction is the best. Do you know where we are?"

"No, silly."

"Remember the forest that was burned down awhile back?"

"This is it?!" I once again gasp.

Gohan smiled and nodded.

"B-But how?"

I watched as the monkeys swung from tree to tree. However, when they saw Gohan, they immediately came rushing over towards him. Two moneys climbed on top of the demi-saiyan's shoulder while the other three stayed on the ground, looking up at him with a smile.

"Hey guys, how've you been?" He greets the animals.

Since they don't speak, they only made their natural monkey noises.

"I'll take it you're doing fine here."

The camera was now aimed at the adorable monkeys on top of Gohan's shoulder. One of them began to climb on top of his head and peeked over to face the lens of the device.

"You wanna say hi, huh? Well, now is a good time as any." Gohan grins.

Being as friendly as it was, the monkey waved and then made some noises. This caused Gohan to laugh a little.

As always, when watching Gohan become even more softer while in the presence of innocent creatures, I could feel a deep warming feeling in my heart.

"Alright little guys, that's enough playing around for now. Why don't you run along to your mother? I bet she's already worried sick about you five."

So, listening to Gohan's words of advice, the small monkeys took off while Gohan captured the entire moment on tape.

"Now that they're gone..." I speak. "Why don't you tell me what's going on here? How in the world did you get this burned down forest to look like a fire never even occurred here in the first place?"

Gohan rubbed the back of his head. "I got this very special seed from Dende a while back."

"A seed?"

"Yeah. Like this one." Gohan answers. He dug through his pocket and took out a light pink seed. "Check it out."

"That small little seed grew out this whole forest?" I examine the thing.

"Apparently. It only took it about ten days to grow out."

"Amazing."

"Yeah." Gohan nods. "Say... Tania?"

"Hm?"

"I'm still hungry. You up for a pizza date?"

"It's our three month anniversary and you wanna go out for pizza?" I tilt my head.

"No... Don't tell me..." Gohan begins to freak out suddenly.

"W-What? What is it, Gohan?!" I become worry after seeing him ruffle his hair like a complete crazy man.

"Noooo! IT CAN'T BE?!" Gohan falls to his knees with his arms dropping down to his sides.

"Gohan! Calm down! What are you freaking out for?!" I squat.

He's making me worry crazy right now! What's his problem?!

Placing his hands on the grass and lowering his head as if defeated, Gohan asks, "You hate pizza, don't you?"

Instantly, my body collapsed to the ground.

He was freaking out because of THAT?! Lord have mercy...

"P-Pizza is awesome, Gohan. Lets just go get some." I say while trying to get over Gohan's overly dramatic moment.

"Okay!" The half-saiyan lifts his head up and grins.

~~~~~

After landing on a sidewalk in Satan City and walking several blocks, Gohan dug through his pocket and took out a capsule container.

"Where did you get that from?" I ask while he picked up a capsule with the number 11 on it.

"I bought one of these from Bulma. She said I could have one of the best versions that the company had ever made."

Gohan then thew the capsule towards the street and it exploded. The smoke cleared away to reveal a vey nice looking red motorcycle.

"Woah!" Gohan exclaims while staring at the vehicle in awe. "This baby looks way better than Krillin's car back when Maron was his girlfriend!"

"Maron? Who's that?"

Since the vehicle was taking Gohan's attention away from me, he didn't hear me.

One red and one green helmet was on each handle. Both were open face helmets with a black face shield. Kinda like the face shields that are on the Great Saiyaman's helmet. Gohan picked the red one up and placed it on his head then tossed me the green one.

"Snap that thing on and hop on, we'll drive to the pizza shop." The demi-saiyan smiles as he put himself on the motorcycle..

"Hold on!" I yell. Gohan stopped his current action.

"You can't drive! We'll get in trouble by the cops for sure."

"Think again." Gohan pulls out a card from a wallet. On it was a picture of him and some information.

He has a drivers license! 

"No way! How in the world did you get your drivers license?!" I question him with wide-eyes. I placed the helmet on my head and hopped on the backseat of the bike.

"Gotta hand it to Bulma again." Gohan looks at me with a smirk.

"Well then congratulations! I'm proud of you." I grin. "You're really cool, Gohan."

Hearing my compliment and that I was proud of him, Gohan's cheeks began to turn red.

"Oh gosh... Thanks, Tania."

"No problem."

I then noticed something. Gohan wasn't holding the camera anymore.

"Gohan, what happened to the camera?"

Gohan shutters.

I raised an eyebrow. "You do have the camera with you... right?"

"Um... I uh... You see... Sorta.. lost it.."

"WHAT?!" I shout, causing everyone around us to stare.

"I-I'm sorry." Gohan apologies.

"Gohan! We gotta go find that thing right now! Get driving!"

"Yes ma'am."

Doing what he needed to do, Gohan moved out of parking and turned in the direction behind us. In order to stay balanced, I hooked my arms around Gohan as he raced to where he believed the camera was.

"How can you drop the camera?"

"I don't know." Gohan answers. "We did walk some ways to the spot where we were just at. Maybe I accidentally lost it somewhere there."

"I hope you did." I reply. "Do you have any idea what type of predicament we'll get ourselves into if one of our classmates or perhaps anyone in our school finds and snoops through it?!"

"We'll definitely get busted... That's for certain."

"Man, ChiChi will be pissed." I say.

I can just imagine the horror!

*****

"TANIA! GOHAN! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Gohan's mother yells at the top of her lungs.

"What are we gonna do, Gohan? Your mom's mad." I quietly whisper to my boyfriend while we both hid in his room with the door locked.

"D-Don't ask me. The door is lock so hopefully she won't bother trying to taking it down."

Suddenly, a very large hole appeared through the door and ChiChi's figure was being shown outside the room.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Gohan and I scream for our lives.

ChiChi completely busted her way into her son's room with her trusty pan to guide her into battle.

"HOW COULD YOU TWO LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'LL GET US INTO?!"

"W-We're sorry!" Gohan and I yelp.

"OH! YOU'RE SORRY ALRIGHT!" ChiChi intimidates my boyfriend and I with her tone of voice.

Proceeding to grip harder to the handle of her pan, the woman charged at Gohan and I while the two of us froze in fear.

*****

AHHH! THAT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE!!  

"Gohan! Your mom really will probably have the wolves eat us for dinner if we don't find it soon!"

The motorcycle came to a rest after a short distance. Gohan took his helmet off.

"Gohan, why did you stop?!" I shake the spiky-haired boy by his shoulder. "We gotta get movin' or else!"

"I know..." Gohan responds. He then pointed his finger a certain direction. "But look!"

I gazed to the spot where Gohan's finger was pointing.

"Hey! What do you think you're trying to do?" A curly-haired blonde woman yells while a man with long red spiky hair tied back into a ponytail tries to take her purse. The woman looked as if she was rich and was struggling to keep her puse from getting pulled away from her.

"That woman is getting mugged! I gotta stop that man!" Gohan heroically says.

"But Gohan, you can't be seen trying to rescue that woman. Let me do it! Everyone in the city practically knows I stopped criminals before." I try to reason with the young man.

This only caused him to smile. Putting his feet on the pedals, Gohan drove us into a alleyway where no one was around.

"In that case... I'll give everyone something new to talk about." Goku's son hops off the motorcycle.

I took off my helmet.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you know what I mean."

Taking his watch out in front of him, Gohan pressed the red button and he was changed into his superhero costume.

"When all goes wrong, Saiyaman is here to make things right again!" Gohan alters his voice into the Great Saiyaman's.

I giggled. "Oh yeah, I forgot about the watches!"

"What do you saaay, Tania? Wanna go take down a criminal with me?" The Great Saiyaman asks for my help.

Of course, I hopped off the bike and pressed the red button. Like Gohan, I also changed into my costume. I could feel my hot pink cape hang loose off my shoulders.

"Lets go get that guy in cuffs, Saiyaman." I try to disguise my actual voice like my boyfriend.

"That's great. Hide your actual voice so no one finds us out." Gohan gives me a tip. "Now, lets go."

Taking to the air and descending down to the woman and man, Saiyaman pointed his finger.

"Hey you! Stop what you're doing!"

Hearing someone other than themselves speak, the mugger and the woman turned their heads.

"Why don't you two get going somewhere! Can't you see i'm busy here?!" The mugger shouts.

"If you think you're gonna get away with snatching that lady's purse, think again sir!" I speak up.

"Think again, huh?" The mugger replies smugly. "No thanks!"

With a hard yank, the red-haired guy succeeded in snatching the madam's white purse while she was off-guard and took off sprinting.

"Hey! My Purse!" The woman screams.

Simply jumping high into the air and landing in front of the man, I just aimed my fist lightly against his gut, causing the mugger to keel over and drop to the ground.

"I got you, buddy!" A random voice shouts while I was retrieving the stolen bag out of the thief's hand.

I heard gunshots and looked behind me to see Saiyaman standing in front of me with his fist curled up in a ball.

The man who was facing Saiyaman had a stunned look on his face.

"Impossible..." He mutters.

Handing the woman back her purse, I strolled right to Saiyaman's side in time to see him smile and crush whatever was in his hands to pieces and fall to the ground.

Though I wasn't trying to, I was beginning to feel very fond of him.

Wow. Even when Gohan is in disguise completely and his helmet is blocking most of his face, I still find him immensely attractive and almost just as handsome. However, what shines even more beyond that, is his heroic mannerisms.

"What in the w-world are you? Who are you?!" The second criminal demands.

Out of nowhere, Gohan began to do some poses that he called a type of dance. He finished saying, "I'm The Great Saiyaman!"

The criminal just blinked and rubbed his eyes. He then looked at me.

"Tania..." Gohan whispers very quietly while staying in his squatting position with his fingers over his helmet., "It's your turn."

My turn?! How am I suppose to do poses like he did?

"Prepare you doer of evil!" I point at the crook.

I guess i'll just have to do some cheerleader poses...

"I am the water to dying flowers!" I raise one arm to the sky while the other is placed on my hip. "The hope to the hopeless!"

I winged my arms out to my sides and did the tap dance I saw Gohan did then twirled around. As I did so, I straightened my body until I was up right. I halted and rested my closed fists to my hips.

"The peacemaker of the city!" I holler.

To finish my dance off, I clapped my hands together, raised my knee up then spaced my hands apart to the sides of my neck.

"I am The..." I then pause. "The um..."

Name? I need a name! Gohan never gave me one... Wait!

"I am The Great WonderWoman!" I introduce my superhero name.

"GAH!" Gohan squawks as he fell over along with everyone else in the area. His leg was up in the air.

"What?" I look around curious as to why everyone was on the ground including the crook.

"You can't just say your name is The Great WonderWoman." Saiyaman speaks.

"O-Oh? Why not?"

"Because you stole that name from that character on the morning cartoon shows!" The crook adds in.

I guess this world has wonder woman in it too... If so, then why doesn't someone like superman exist here?

"Excuse my comrade here." Saiyaman speaks on my behalf after standing back up. "She meant to say that she is The Great Saiyawoman."

Great... Saiyawoman...

"Hahahaaa!" The criminal laughs. "You two are just some losers! I can't believe how ridiculous you people are!"

Dropping his gun and holding out his wrists, the criminal says, "Cops, just arrest me already. I'm not gonna be around this area if a bunch of weirdos is roaming around the place."

"Oh, right." Saiyaman scratches his helmet.

I nudged Gohan in the arm. "We don't have any cuffs..."

"Well..." The criminal yells. "What are you waiting for?!"

"We don't exactly have cuffs." I answer.

Again, the crook fell over. This action annoyed me.

"Will you people stop doing that!" I shout.

"What are you talking about?" Gohan whispers in my ear.

"I mean stop doing this!"

I fell over to show Gohan what I was talking about. When I stood up I asked, "Why do we do this?"

"I... don't know." Gohan replies. "We just do for some reason. For me, it's almost like I can't control it from happening."

I dropped my shoulders and sighed.

This world is so strange... It practically makes me feel as though I was brought into some weird cartoon-ish world or something. Ahh, oh well.

Soon, the cops finally showed up and arrested the two crooks that caused trouble in the area. While everyone was just gawking at the scene, Gohan and I took the chance to escape from everyone and head back to the alley.

"Hey Gohan, i'm sorry." I say.

"What for?" The young man presses his red button, reverting him back to his school clothes.

I did the same and grabbed the green helmet off the motorcycle bar.

"You know...the  whole superhero introduction thing."

With a forgiving smile, Gohan says, "Don't sweat about it. I don't think you did bad at all."

"Yeah... sure..." I say sarcastically.

"Hey now." Gohan places his hand on top of my head. "I said it's fine."

"But yesterday I saw you working hard on those Great Saiyaman poses! You'e not fooling me Gohan. I know this superhero business means a ton to you. I just don't wanna get in your way of having a great time while you're doing that."

"Listen... The whole wonder woman and the "I am the water to dying plants" thing was a bit off, but other than that, the dance steps you did was fine. However, I do think we should definitely come up with better ones as a duo." Gohan admits, continuing to kiss my forehead.

"Did you say... as a d-duo?" I blush.

"Mhm." Gohan nods. He then grabbed my hand, twirled me around then lowered me down against his left arm while holding onto my waist. His right hand cupped my right cheek.

"Maybe something like this can be a move." He grins. His nose was almost touching mine. He was so close to me, I could smell his fresh mint-like breath and the apple scent that his hair was giving off. His body scent was that of what smelled like doughnuts.

Him and I just had a deep look into each others eyes. Like usual, I got knots in my stomach. His love always made me feel this way.

Realizing the position he was holding me in, Gohan blushed then put me back upright.

"U-Uh, how about we go get that pizza now?" He says, quickly grabbing his red helmet.

"Hey!" Calls out a female voice.

In came walking into the alleyway was Videl.

She always manages to find Gohan and I all the time...

"Hey Videl." Gohan greets the girl.

"Say... Did you two see what just happened out there?" Videl asks while pointing her thumb behind her.

"See what?" I try to put my acting skills to use.

"I knew it." The girl sighs. "You two don't know anything."

"Okay." Gohan scratches his head.

Videl looked at Gohan before tossing something to him.

"Uh! The camera!" Gohan exclaims.

"What?! Let me see!" I yank the thing out of my boyfriend's hand. Sure enough it was the camera. "I forgot about this thing."

"Thank you very much, Videl." Gohan smiles. "We lost it a while ago and was trying to look for it."

"I see." The pig-tailed girl nodded. "That must be why you left earlier on, right?"

"Whatever you say." I reply to her question. I shook the camera and tried turning it on multiple times. "Hey, what's up with this thing? It's not working."

"When I found it back a few streets down, the thing was completely dead." Videl crosses her arms.

I felt a drip of sweat fall down the side of my head. "Oh really...?"

"Yeah."

Gohan looked down at me then began to nervously rub the back of his head.

Phew! Thank goodness this thing died out before Videl could snoop through it. She just seems like the type to do something like that. 

"Nice motorcycle." Hercule's daughter walks around the vehicle checking it out. "Don't tell me that this thing is gonna get you home in five hours."

"Hm?" I tilt my head.

"Look, I know that you guys live in Mount Paozu. That's like five hours away if you take a car. School ended about two hours ago so by the time you even get home it'll be pretty late. How about you stay at my house for the night? We have plenty of space."

"I don't know about that Videl." Gohan responds.

"Just come on."

Videl presses a button on the motorcycle, causing it to return itself into a capsule. She then grabs onto mine and Gohan's arms and starts walking.

Oh no... What about the date?

~~~~~

"Daddy, i'm home." Videl walks into what looked like her living room with Gohan and I.

Her father, Hercule, was sitting on a one seat couch in his brown robe. The man was watching tapes of his victories at the world tournament on a large screen TV on the wall.

"Well, hey there Videl. I was just watching some good ol' tapes of my victories from the tournament." Hercule replies without even looking at his daughter.

"I see that, father. You really are a great matial artist. No one can beat you."

Hearing the compliment his daughter gave him, Hercule let out a arrogant laugh. "Yes! I know that, sweetheart. You don't gotta remind the champion of the world that."

"Right." Videl smiles.

I looked over at Gohan. He was showing no emotion at all.

I wonder what's going through his mind right now?

"Um, Papa?"

"What is it?"

"Do you mind if I have a couple of my friends stay the night?"

"Not at all. They can stay" Hercule answers.

However, when he turned to look at us, he immediately scrambled onto his feet and grabbed Gohan by the collar of his shirt with his hands.

"Hold on a minute!" The afro man yells. "Why are you here?!"

"Stop it, dad!" Videl touches her father's arm.

"I mean no harm, sir." Gohan honestly replies calmly.

"Now don't you lie to me, you little punk! No boy is going to be allowed to stay the night over at this house while my daughter is present!" Hercule grits his teeth.

"Please calm down, sir." I beg Videl's father.

"Oh! Don't you dare tell me to-"

Hercule then lowered his eyes to me. He let Gohan go and grabbed my hand.

"It's you, Tania! It's been so long. How've you been, my friend?"

I rubbed my head. "I've been doing okay I guess."

"That's great!" Hercule responds with enthusiasm.

"Excuse me, mister." Gohan speaks.

Again, Hercule shot the spiky-haired boy a glare and grabbed him by his collar again.

"Now don't you go thinking that just because I know who Tania is here means that imma just let you off the hook."

"I understand." Gohan nods. "But sir, your daughter was the one who insisted that both of us stay the night. Besides, I thought you said you didn't mind that."

" WELL I CHANGE MY MIND!" Hercule shouts in Gohan's face.

Videl suddenly came between her father and my boyfriend.

"Alright! That's enough, Dad!" She hollers, backing up her dad away from Gohan.

"Videl! What do you think you're doing?!"

"I'm tired of you still treating me as if i'm still six years old! Well guess what, Dad? I'm fifteen! I'm very much old enough to have my friends spend the night." Videl stands up to her overprotective dad.

"But Videl, that's exactly the problem! You're fifteen and still a child in my eyes!" Hercule tries to reason with his flesh and blood. He then pointed at Gohan. "And just look at this guy! He must be atleast eighteen or nineteen years old! He'll try to take advantage of you, dear."

This bickering was beginning to get on my nerves. The whole 'Gohan wants to take advantage of Videl' idea thing was about to pop a vessel in my brain.

"Sir, I beg your pardon, but i'm only sixteen and a sophomore. I'm in the same grade as Videl and my cousin, Tania. She's only fourteen still." Gohan defends himself.

"What? How are you only sixteen?" Hercule responds coldly.

"I... just am." Gohan says.

"It's true, Dad." Videl backs Gohan up.

"Fine then. You can stay." Hercule finally gives his consent.

"Thank you very much. I really appreciate your hospitality." Gohan gives his gratitude.

"Hey! Don't get me wrong! I'm only letting you stay cause my baby told me that your Tania's cousin. If I catch you acting fishy or even the slightest bit suspicious, you're outta her pal! Do I make myself clear?!"

"Sir! Yes, sir!"

Hercule smirked. "You'll have to sleep in the exact opposite direction of where my daughter's room is. Since Tania is a girl, she can sleep wherever she wants to."

"You're just gonna isolate Gohan from Tania and I, Dad? That's not very cool." Videl sighs heavily.

"Gohan sneaking into you bedroom late at night isn't very cool, Videl!" Hercule snaps back.

"Alright, Daddy." Videl gives in. She then turns to Gohan. "Sorry."

"No need to apologize. It's fine, Videl." Gohan chuckles nervously.

GOHAN'S P.O.V

Videl, Tania, and I walked down a long nicely decorated hallway. We passed by many doors on each side of the hall till we got to a blue colored door at the end of the hall.

Videl typed in some password on a type of security system right next to the door. A green light lit up and the door opened slowly by itself.

Cool.

"Gohan, this will be your room for the night." Videl speaks.

 I looked around.

"Woah, this room is huge."

"Right." Tania nods.

"If you think this room is huge, you should take a look in my bedroom." Videl smiles. "It makes this room look average."

"No way." I gasp.

"It's actually true, Gohan." Tania tells me.

"Wait..." I look at my girlfriend. "You've been here before?"

"Yeah. A long time ago. Remember? It was that day when I went to this city for the first time."

"Uhhh..." I scratch my head.

I don't remember her going to this city.

"I sure remember." Videl cuts in. "That's the day you and I met while beating up those low lifes."

Tania laughed. "They were asking for it."

"True." Videl nods.

"Oh yeah! Now I remember." I exclaim.

That was the day I couldn't get Tania out of my mind.

*****

"Okay, so now all I have to do is read this section of my history book then I can finally just relax." I say outloud to myself while staring at the plain book.

I then heard some mumbling downstairs. It almost sounded like Roshi and Tania were having a conversation. However, I couldn't make out what they were saying.

My eyes shifted to the broken wall Tania made.

Maybe I was being a jerk...

I let out a sigh and found myself thinking about what happened with Tania earlier. 

I kissed her... and she really actually allowed me to. I thought she hated me. So then why would she let me? Wait! Could she really...

My face began getting warm.

Does she like me a lot more than she's leading on? ...No, that can't possibly be it. She always seem so torn and distant. But the way she begged me not to fight Cell proves that she cares for me. She even admitted it to me before the kiss.

Just reviewing this whole day inside my mind made my heart thud quite a bit.

Gosh... Could I be in love with her already? No... Maybe it's just a crush for right now. Who knows... Before I know it, i'll probably be over her within a week and we'll continue just being friends.

*****

That day never came though. The more time I spent with Tania and having her open up to me more over the course of time, the more I grew to love her.

I stared at the girl laughing with Videl. Somehow the conversation had changed to one about the world tounament and Hecule winning it.

"I can't believe your father won so easily against that Spopovich guy." Tania giggles.

Videl smiled. "Well he is the champion of the world."

"Of course."

Just look at her now. What a change. Back then, Tania hardly ever smiled, let alone laugh. Seeing that once a day would be a miracle itself. Her world really was full of mean insensitive people. Their cruelty must've taken a huge toll on her before she ended up here. But now... She's way more bubbly and tactful than before. She's still pretty shy but atleast we're getting somewhere with that. 

While talking to the pig-tailed girl, Tania would steal some glances at me while Videl wasn't paying attention and would smile.

I returned her smile.

Once she seen this, the young girl looked down and started brushing her bangs out of her face.

There she goes being shy again...

Suddenly, my stomach began growling.

"What in the world..." Videl begins looking around. "What was that noise?"

Again, my stomach growled but only louder this time.

I rubbed my stomach. "Excuse me."

"Oh, that was you then."

"Yeah. I'm just hungry. I haven't eaten since breakfast." I confess.

"Oh my goodness, Gohan!" Tania comes facing in front of me with her curled fists near her chin. "That's right! You didn't even go to lunch today. I would've saved you something but I assumed you went home and had ChiChi make you something instead."

"Home? You guys live five hours away from here. How can he possibly go home, eat, and return to school on time?" Videl grows suspicious.

Tania waved her hands around in a panic-like motion. "Did I say home? Oops, I didn't mean that. How ridiculous of me to think that."

Videl sighed. "I'll just have my chef prepare you guys a banquet or something. It might take a while before the food is ready."

"Sounds good to me." I give her a thumbs up.

With that, Hercule's daughter left.

I sat down on the well-prepared bed while Tania continued standing.

"What's up?" I ask her. "Don't you wanna relax?"

"I thought we were gonna go out for some pizza?" She says. "I was really looking forward to us just being alone and spending time together."

I patted the spot next to me. "Come here and sit down next to me."

Listening, Tania took a seat and I wrapped an arm around her then kissed her temple.

"That was the plan originally but I guess we got ourselves dragged into this situation. Besides, I think a banquet sounds a lot better than pizza and we're alone right now."

"Yeah, but it's not the same."

I smiled then dug through my pocket to get a capsule. "I was out of lunch earlier for a reason."

I thew the capsule and it exploded. A  black scrapbook  came from out of the capsule. I went over to it and picked it up then handed it to my girlfriend.

Tania took it. "What's this?"

"A scrapbook." I answer. " Open it up."

"A-Alright."

Opening the book, Tania scanned the pictures that I had putted in there of us.

"What the- Where did you get these photos from?" She asks while looking at a picture of her and I on our first date when we were walking around with ice cream."When did these photos get taken."

"That's the funny part." I laugh. "Supposedly, Bulma hired some private investigator to take some pictures of us ever since she began thinking there was something going on between us."

"You're serious?!" Tania gasps.

When she began flipping through the book, her entire face went red when she saw a certain picture.

I took a seat again and looked over at the photo. There in it was Tania wearing one of my jackets while she was asleep.

I gazed at her.

"They t-t-took a picture of me while I was sleeping with t-that on?!" Tania covers her face.

I thought my white jacket was missing back then...

"Why was you weaing my jacket?" I question her.

"I was really cold that day. You wasn't home yet so I burrowed it and went to sleep with it on."

When I finally did find that jacket, it smelled like strawberries. I thought someone did wear it. I was right...

After a couple minutes of looking at the pictures, including the ones that we had recently been taking since the school year began for us, Tania smiled widely. "This is wonderful, Gohan. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Tania closed the scrapbook.

"Gohan, I had a present for you but it's at home. Can you use that instant transmission of yours to bring us there?"

"We're gonna have to hurry then."

So taking the scrapbook with her and grabbing onto my shoulder, I did my job and transferred us to our home.

"Gohan?" A childish voice comes into my hearing.

"Goten. Hey! What's up, buddy?" I greet my little brother while he was playing with Chica in my room.

I went to my dog and picked her up. "Chica!"

"Oh, Chica and I was just waiting for you to come home so that we can play. Isn't thatt right, girl" Goten responds

"Arf!" Chica barks.

"Actually, about that you guys, I can't stay the night over here today."

"Aww, but why not, Gohan?" Goten whines.

"I would like to know the reason why too, young man." Mother walks into the room.

"Mom. Hi!"

"Hello, ChiChi." Tania greets my mother also.

"Hello dears." Mother responds. "Well Gohan... Are you gonna answer my question?"

"Oh um right!"

~~~~~

"I see..." Mother says after I explained everything to her. "Fine then. Just please make sure to get early up to school tomorrow. I'll be calling the school to see if you arrived to your classes on time to make sure. Same goes for you Tania."

"Yes, ma'am." Tania and I say simultaneously.

"Now i'll make sure to care for the dog tonight Gohan." Mother offers.

"Thanks Mom, You're the best." I smile in appreciation.

"Lets go back to your room, Goten. You'll see your brother after he's done with school tomorrow." Mom smiles at her youngest child.

Goten obediently nodded, took mother's hand and left my room with Chica. Tania followed them out and told me to wait here.

After about a minute, she came back in with a large pink heart-shaped card. Shyly, she handed it to me and told me to read it.

So I did and this is what was written inside:

Before I met you, I only cared for myself. Not once did I put someone else's feelings ahead of my own. However, when I met you... that all changed. You befriended me, showed me kindness and respect, protected me, loved me, and picked me up when life brought my face to the dirt.

My heart was weak, hurt, and hopeless.

But when you first began talking to me, I could already see the goodness in you. I didn't wanna believe in that goodness though... All thanks to the bad experiences I had with others in my world. However, you still chose to be my friend even when I was being cold and distant and there you was, ready to  put a smile on my face each and every day. I'll never forget meeting you cause that day changed my life for the best.

My heart beats to the sound of your voice. My world lightens up when I see your face. The spaces between your fingers are meant for mine. In your arms is the safest place for me to be in. You're the best friend I thought I would never have and the boyfriend I believed would never even exist. You continually show me that dreams do come true and that I shouldn't give up on the things that are good for me. The time we share together will always be memories I cherish.

Mere words can't ever describe how much I love, trust, and appreciate you. You're in my thoughts from the moment I awake in the morning to the second I fall asleep. Even in my sleep, you are there in my dreams, teaching me resilience and courage. I will never truly be able to forget you, cross my heart and hope to die. I hope that you will never forget me either, no matter what happens. You're my shoulder to cry on and the person I can tell everything to.

Wherever you go, I will follow you rather it's physically or in heart and spirit. Whenever anything bothers you, I will listen to what you have to say. Whatever it takes, i'll always be there for you. You're the reason I have the people I do now in my life. We talk like best friends , play like children, argue like lovers, and protect each other like siblings do.

Sometimes I think to myself day after day, if this is all just a dream. A type of dream where i'm free to be happy and actually have true friends who never bully, laugh, make fun of me nor exclude me out of things. But at the end of the day, i'm left realizing that this is all real and that I should never take a gift like this for granted. Happy three month anniversary, Gohan! :) <3

                                                           Love, Tania.

After reading Tania's letter, I was in awe.

A-Amazing... I had no clue she cared for me THIS much!

"T-Tania..."

Becoming clearly embarrassed, Tania attempts to reach for the letter back. "On second thought... Maybe that was a bit too much."

I pulled the letter further away from her, grabbed her by the waist, then planted a kiss on her lips. She clenched onto my upper arms most likely in shock. I gently brought my hand onto hers and took hers off my right arm, proceeding to lace my fingers between hers. A few seconds late, I could feel her kissing back.

When we pulled away, I wasted no time in wrapping my arms around her in a tight hug.

Gosh, my heart is racing like crazy!

Tania's head was against my chest.

I wonder if she can hear it beating hard like this...?

The girl lovingly brought her arms around my back. I rested my chin on top of her head. I'm sure my face was completely red as soon as she did that.

We were like this for what seemed like eternity. When we released one another, we gazed in the other's eyes.

"S-So, you liked my gift?" My girlfriend asks.

"No... I don't." I tell her the truth.

Tania looked distressed immediately. "Wait what? I-I don't unders-"

"I love it." I grin.

Tania smiled widely. "You do?"

I nodded and pecked her cheek. "Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"Uhh..." Tania tries to come up with a reason.

"Oh come on!" I playfully pull her back in my arms.  This action made the saiyan girl giggle.

"Hey, we gotta head back to Videl's. That chef could already be done preparing dinner." I say.

Tania nodded. "Yes, we should. Also we might wanna leave our gifts here to make sure Videl doesn't find it."

"Good idea."

Tania then parted away from me to put her scrapbook somewhere in her room while I put her letter in a special place inside of the book I use to keep drawings of my father, Piccolo, and Icarus from when I was a little kid. I stashed it away in a tiny decorated box in my closet then put the lid over it. I closed my closet and waited for Tania to return.

"You ready?" I ask her once she arrived back to my room.

She gave me a thumbs up. " Yep.

"Alright then." I smile while grabbing her hand. "Lets go."
