Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Capsule Corp. Crisis ❯ The Trip! ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball Z. If I did then Gohan would've never become Saiyaman, and Trunks would've married me, and Goten would've kept his goku-hair stye and my name would be Akira Toriyama, not to mention I would be rich and wouldn't waste my time writing fics for baka humans on a web site made by 3rd class weaklings, and I would be contently ruling the universe with all of you as my slaves BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Oops sorry, I guess I let the Vegeta side of me take over hehehe

~~~~Last Chapter~~~

Gohan was seated at the dinner table, shoveling food into his mouth like there was no tomorrow, almost in complete unison with his younger brother Goten. Chi-Chi was sitting across from the two bottomless pits, barely nibbling her one plate of food; compared to the gulps her sons were half swallowing from their mountain-sized portions of food. After the demi-saiyans had slowed their pace, Chi-Chi set down her chopsticks, determined to start a conversation. "So Gohan how was your day?" Gohan stopped his attack on the mound of food before him, swallowed what was still remaining in his mouth and replied. "Not much, the same as yesterday I suppose…. except," Gohan paused slightly, pondering whether or not he should tell her. "Well, Mr. Maksuki announced that there's going to be a field trip next weekend…. to Capsule Corp., but, I'm not sure I want to go, its not like I haven't been there before." Gohan was eyeing his mother curiously, awaiting her response. "Are you sure that's a good idea Gohan? I think you should go, there might be trouble if Vegeta's going to be there, there's no telling what will happen." Chi-Chi looked rather concerned. "Man, I didn't think about that, well, I guess I'll have to then." Gohan sighed. *Oh great, I can just imagine Vegeta blowing up one of my classmates for breathing his royal air. * He chuckled slightly at the sight of Vegeta giving his famous prince of all saiyans speech.

~~~~End Last Chapter~~

"Chiko where have you been for the past few days?" Mika asked her friend as they walked to class together.

"I was sick, that's all. So, did I miss anything?" Chiko asked Mika as they neared their destination.

"Well, you didn't miss too much homework. Oh, but you won't believe this, we're gonna have a field trip to Capsule Corp. THIS weekend!" Mika squealed. Chiko gasped in surprise.

"Are you serious? How cool! I can't wait!" by now the two squealing girls had reached the class room and were sitting at their desks when Gohan walked in and started walking the stairs to his own seat. "Hey who's that Mika?" Chiko whispered to her companion.

"Oh, he's new, his name is Gohan." Mika replied with little interest. Chiko blinked a couple times before responding, "Son Gohan?"

Mika looked a little surprised before answering, "Yeah, how'd you know?" Chiko smiled brightly and jumped out of seat. She than flung her arms around Gohan and shouted his name, gaining the stares of all the students in the class. Gohan blushed slightly and blinked at the short, black haired girl who had her arms clamped around his stomach, trying to figure out who the heck this insane girl was.

"Uh…. do I…. know you?" Gohan asked the girl, who had, much to his relief broke the hold she had on him. Chiko put her hands on her hips and growled under her breath. "Its me, Chiko! Remember?"

Gohans face scrunched up in thought as he stared into nothingness. (A/N: is that a word?) Then suddenly his eyes widen in recognition. "Oh yeah, I remember now!" but before anymore could be said Mr. Maksuki walked in the door and demanded that everyone take their seats, which they did.

Not much happened during the first few classes of the day, and it wasn't until lunchtime did Chiko and Gohan get to talk again. A/N: in Japan, the students stay in the same room and the teachers are the ones who switch classes, so they had to wait until lunch!!) The two were walking to lunch together and Mika, Sharpener, Erasa, and Videl were tagging along.

"So Chiko, what ever happened to you and the other orphans?" Gohan asked Chiko curiously.

"Well, we were all sent to an orphanage, but I was the first one adopted, so I haven't seen the others since. What about you, did you ever find your way back home?" Chiko chuckled. Videl, being the suspicious person she is, stepped into the conversation, "How did you two meet anyways? And what did you mean by that?"

"Oh, we meet about 14 years ago. My friend and I found him ship wrecked on shore, he was lost and was trying to find his way home." Chiko stated cheerfully. Videl glared at Gohan suspiciously, but kept her comments to herself, for the time being anyways. "Man Gohan, I can't believe we used to be the same height, you're so tall!" Chiko exclaimed while jumping up to try to come face to face with him, which she failed miserably.

"Yeah, well I can't believe you haven't grown at all." Gohan teased, earning himself a playful punch to the shoulder by Chiko.

When they reached the cafeteria, the six of them all sat at the same table and Gohan de-capsulized his lunch and began to inhale the mountain of food that took up almost the entire table. Chiko stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as the rest of them, who were already familiar with Gohans strange metabolism, just eyed him curious, still trying to figure out how he could store so much food into his tiny body, in such a fast pace and still be so scrawny!

"Um, so, Gohan, are you going on the class field trip this weekend?" Chiko asked, desperately trying to break the silence and start up a conversation. Gohan, being the well-mannered mommas boy he was, (A/N: hehe) swallowed the food he had in his mouth and answered, "Yeah." Than he shoved more food his mouth and continued his meal.

"Yay, I knew you'd come around! What made you change your mind?" chirped Erasa as she attached herself to Gohans arm, much to his dislike, not really caring what his answer was. Gohan just shrugged a reply, too hungry to pause again to answer.

Gohan finished his lunch before everyone else, much to the others surprise, so Chiko took the opportunity to try and start up a conversation again. "So Gohan, what ever happened to Figaro? I haven't seen him since that day he left to take you home."

"Oh. I don't really know, he just dropped me off and left." Gohan replied. Mika, who up till now had been totally ignored, butted in, "Who's Figaro?"

"He was another orphan. He was the oldest out of all of us and he took care of us and protected us, but I haven't seen him since, well, since the last time I saw Gohan." Chiko answered. Before anything else could be said, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, and they all headed back to class.

~~~~Time Passes~~~~

It is now Saturday and all the students participating in the class field trip are gather in front of the school patiently waiting to board the buses that will take them to the world famous Capsule Corp.

Gohan walks up to Videl, Erasa, and Sharpener who were eyeing him suspiciously. "Ossu. Uh, is something wrong?" Gohan greeted nervously.

"Why aren't you dressed up Gohan?" Videl asked. Gohan then noticed that everyone, even Videl, was dressed more formal than usual. Sharpener was wearing beige khakis and a dark blue long sleeve shirt. Erasa was wearing a knee high black skirt and a pink blouse. And Videl was wearing black pants and a sky blue sweater. Gohan then looked down at his own cloths, which consisted of red pants, a white long sleeve shirt, and the yellow over shirt (and the fuzzy brown belt). He blushed slightly while performing the famous Son grin and scratching the back of his head. The others just sighed and dismissed his naiveté. Just than Chiko sprinted up to the four with Mika following behind.

"Ohayoo Gohan!" Chiko greeted. She was a black leather mini skirt and a red long sleeve shirt. Mika was wearing the same outfit only with the colors reversed, red leather mini skirt and a black long sleeve shirt. "I can't wait to meet Bulma Briefs! This is so exciting!" Chiko exclaimed before Gohan could return her greeting.

"Calm down Chiko, we'll get there soon enough." Mika said bemused, even though she too was excited.

"Alright students, please form a single file line into the buses!" Mr. Maksuki shouted above all the chattering students. Whoops and yells could be heard from the immense groups of teenagers as they all messily and hurriedly ran into the two Gray Hound buses. Mika quickly took a seat next to Chiko, afraid she might sit next to Gohan instead if she wasn't fast enough. Than Erasa sat next to Sharpener, which left Vidal to sit with Gohan. Mika and Chiko chatted amongst themselves, Sharpener talked with another boy from who sat on the left side of the bus, and Erasa turned backwards in her seat to talk with Videl and Gohan. After half listening to their conversation however, Gohan dozed off in his chair and was soon in a deep sleep. Videl growled under her breath when Gohans light snores interrupted her conversation, and she turned to glare at Gohan. Drool was slightly dripping from Gohans half opened mouth and his head was tilted in Videls direction, and when she turned she was face to face with him which caused her to blush momentarily, but she quickly shook it off.

"Awwww! He's so cute!" Erasa cooed, while pinching his cheek. Gohan scrunched up his face but stayed asleep.

"How can he sleep in a time like this? Isn't he the least bit excited?" Videl asked no one in particular.

"Well, is pretty early, and he must have had to wake up extra early just to get here." Erasa answered. Videl mentally smacked herself for not remembering how far away he lived, but quickly shook it off as another question came into her mind. `Just how does he get here every day anyways? It would have to take him at least five hours just to drive here, and I'm not sure he even has a license. I suppose he could get a ride from someone though. But it would still take him hours to reach the school! You're hiding something Son Gohan, and I'm going to figure it out.' Videl growled once more before continuing her chat with Erasa.

After a 50 minute drive the buses finally stopped at their destination `Capsule Corp." and Gohan was still sleeping. Videl sighed and poked Gohans shoulder a few times, but his only response was a light snort and shift. Videl than shook his arm. All Gohan did was mutter "Stop it Goten" and he turned his head in the other direction. Videl decided to try a different approach.

"WAKE UP!"

Gohan jumped to his feet in an instant and clutched his sensitive saiyan ears in pain. Videl snickered as she heard Gohans whimpers.

"Come on, were here." Videl stated annoyed. Gohan looked around and saw that people were beginning to exit the bus and started to as well. He took a deep breath and stared at the huge Capsule Corp. building as if it were an evil android about to destroy the world.

Chiko, Mika, and Erasa were all squealing in excitement, much to Gohans dislike. Videl, though, equally excited, only smiled at the site of the CC building, and Sharpener was a few feet away from the rest, chatting with some other guys about how hot Bulma Briefs was. Gohan was able to hear their conversation and grimaced. `Oh kami, I sure hope Vegeta is training in the Gravity Room while were here. If he hears what they're saying…. Man I don't even wanna know what he'd do to them.'

Just than, a small elderly man with purple hair walked out of the building to greet the students. "Good Morning children, I am Dr. Briefs. Please, follow me."

Gohan stayed in the back of the group and walked slowly. Chiko however wanted to get closer to the front, but also wanted to stay with Gohan. As a solution she grabbed his right arm and proceeded to drag him near the front of the group. Erasa soon followed suit, and grabbed Gohans other arm. Videl, Sharpener, and Mika just walked along side them; gazing at the building they were being led into. The group was soon led inside a laboratory, or rather, a balcony that was above the laboratory, giving them the best view of all the machinery and devices being worked on by dozens of scientists.

"Please wait right here while I go get my daughter, Bulma, to continue the tour." Dr. Briefs said in a kind voice before he left. Almost instantly, the group of students began to talk about Bulma as they all eyed the lab intently. Gohan yawned and rested his elbows on the railing, gaining him stares from all his friends and anyone else close enough to hear his yawn.

BOOM!

An earth shattering explosion came from below followed by high pitched screams from all the students, save one half saiyan who only whimpered and clutched his ears. After the smoke cleared everyone leaned over the rail to get a better look at the lab below. Workers and scientists were all scrambling about with fire extinguishers, some were covered in soot and almost everyone was coughing, including half the students who had breathed in too much smoke. Just than Bulma entered the room. "Good morning students! Welcome to Capsule Corp. please follow me and we'll begin the tour." Bulma stated cheerfully as if nothing had happened. Most of the students had gotten over their earlier shock and started to follow Bulma, whispering excitedly. The next room they were led into was a small auditorium, where they were instructed to take a seat and Bulma did a few demonstrations for them and explained how capsules were built and how they worked. Everyone was hanging on her every word, even Gohan, who knew everything about capsules, was listening somewhat to her lectures. After about a half hour, Bulma continued the tour leading them into another laboratory, slightly smaller than the first one, where they were given free access to operate the machines and equipment. It wasn't dangerous though, it was sort of like a museum, with small exhibitions set up, only more advanced. (A/N: I don't wanna go into detail so just use your imaginations) Some students took this time to get an autograph from Bulma. Gohan however was doing his best to stay hidden behind whatever machine, model, or showcase he was closest to while still trying to stay with his friends. He didn't want anyone to know he knew Bulma Briefs, it would cause him to get to much attention, not to mention Bulma would embarrass him like crazy if she found out he was here.

"Come on guys, let's go get an autograph from Bulma!" Chiko suggested excitedly. Mika, Erasa, Videl, and Sharpener all agreed, Gohan however was not so enthusiastic about the idea.

"Um, you guys go ahead, I'll be right here." Gohan said nervously. The rest eyed him suspiciously.

"Why Gohan? Don't you wanna meet Bulma Briefs?" Erasa asked/pouted. Before Gohan could respond, Chiko grabbed Gohans arm. "Oh, don't be so shy Gohan! Lets go." Gohan was pulled several inches before he yanked free and tried to run away but Videl, who was walking behind them, grabbed his arm, "Oh no you don't. You're coming with us." Gohan, though strong enough to break the hold, was pulled a few feet before he was able to control his blushing and then break free and sprint off to the other side of the room and hide.

"Just forget him, its his loss." Sharpener replied in an annoyed tone. Erasa and Chiko sighed sorrowfully but continued anyways. Videl was still looking back at where Gohan had run off to, still suspicious of his childish behavior, but shrugged it off and followed the others.

Just when they were only a few feet in front of the door burst open and two little kids ran into the room and straight towards Bulma.

"Hey mom." the purple haired boy greeted Bulma cheerfully.

"Hello Bulma-san." The other boy greeted. By now most of the students were watching the two chibis and most of the girls were remarking on how cute they looked.

"Everyone, this is my son, Trunks and his friend Goten." Bulma said to all the students. Trunks just tugged on Bulmas sleeve, trying to gain his mothers attention, and Goten waved his arm enthusiastically and smiled.

"Mom, we're hungry! Isn't it lunchtime yet?" Trunks whined, causing Bulma to look at her watch.

"Trunks there's still another hour until lunch can't you wait?" Bulma asked her son. Before Trunks could answer, Goten whispered something to Trunk, which caused him to completely forget about his hunger and run excitedly with Goten to the back of the room. Gohan, who had sensed their kis when they first entered the room, had accepted the fact that his life was over and that no matter how had he tried to hide his ki the two chibis would eventually discover him. He was now out of hiding and slowly walking towards his friends when two chibis themselves jumped on Gohan causing him to fall to the floor with a thump.

"Oniichan!" "Gohan!" the two half saiyans shouted from their positions on Gohans chest.

Gohan got up to his feet, sending Goten and Trunks sprawling to floor, and narrowed his eyes at the two. They both gulped in unison. They weren't sure what they did wrong this time, but they were in for it when they saw the look on his face. Much to their relief however Gohan just sighed and walked over to his friends, soon followed by Trunks and Goten. Before anyone could question Gohan, Bulma spoke up, "There you are Gohan. I've been looking all over for you, your mother told me you would be here. You weren't avoiding me now were you?" Bulma asked smugly while making her way over to Gohan.

Gohan blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head. Bulma chuckled and was about to continue when she was interrupted, "You know Bulma Briefs?" Videl asked/shouted. Gohan, Goten, and Trunks clutched their ears and cringed. But before Gohan could answer, "Are these your friends Gohan? Well aren't you going to introduce them?" Bulma asked bemused.

"Oh right, Bulma, this is Videl, Sharpener, Erasa, Mika, and Chiko." Gohan replied while pointing to each of them as he said their names.

"Its nice to meet all of you." Bulma greeted friendly. The rest just muttered something in reply but were still pretty shocked from all that's happened.

"Mom, has it been an hour yet?" Trunks whined to Bulma.

"Trunks, it's only been six minutes." Bulma answered him. Goten and Trunks pouted and whined about dying of hunger.

"Bulma-san, can we stay with you and oniichan?" Goten asked politely, almost forgetting how hungry he was.

"Fine by me." Bulma answered casually. Just then a group of girls approached Bulma wanting an autograph.

"Gohan, why didn't you tell us you knew Bulma Briefs?" Chiko asked rather annoyed. Gohan just shrugged and replied simply, "You never asked." Everyone face faulted.

"So how do you know the Briefs anyways?" Mika asked curiously.

"My father and Bulma have been friends ever since they were kids." Gohan stated matter-of-factly.

"Oniichan, were hungry, do you have anything to eat?" Goten whined to his older brother.

"Nope, sorry Goten." The two chibis than clutched their growling stomachs and whimpered in pain. Gohan too was beginning to grow hungry just by watching the two and being reminded of food.

Erasa kneeled down and ruffled the two chibis hair. "Aw, their so cute!" she cooed. Videl glared at Gohan then back at the two chibis and noticed something she didn't before, they were both wearing the same fuzzy brown belt Gohan always wore.
