The Chosen One

Chapter Eighteen

The rest of the week was rather uneventful, except for the fact that Gad was now the school laughingstock. News of Gad's humiliation at the hands of Sephra's new guard had spread like wildfire, and even eyewitnesses were swearing that Gohan had given Gad a wedgie. However, word of Gohan's true strength had gotten around, and this caused a new problem.

"Hey, Gohan." Gohan secretly rolled his eyes so that only Sephra, Dan, and Asher saw and turned around to face yet another lovestruck girl. By now, he had the routine down pat.

"Listen, I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for a long-term relationship. I'll only be here for a few more days, and then I'll be leaving this planet," he said as if he had rehearsed it before.

"Oh, I'm not looking for a relationship," the girl said, "I'm looking for a night of fun."

"How dare you!" Sephra blurted out, but Gohan held up a hand to silence her.

"Nope, sorry. I may be a teenager, but I'm my father's son, and my father would never succumb to that level. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd like to get my lunch." Gohan got up and went to the lunch line. The girl then left.

Dan looked over at Sephra and stifled a laugh. Sephra crossed her arms and asked, "What is so funny?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Asher answered. "You have a major crush on Gohan!"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Sephra exclaimed. "You heard him! In less than two weeks I'll never see him again."

Dan and Asher looked at each other, grinned, and said simultaneously, "Denial."

"I don't blame you, Sephra," Sephra's best friend, Hannah, added. "He is definitely a hottie."

"Careful, Hannah," Dan joked. "She'll bite your head off if you try to woo Gohan." Sephra merely crossed her arms and pouted.

Gohan returned to the table to find Sephra upset, Dan and Asher laughing, and Hannah gazing dreamily into space. "Um, did I miss something?"

After school, Sephra emerged from the student council meeting in the conference room looking disappointed. "What's wrong?" Gohan asked.

"Let's wait until we get back, shall we?" Sephra asked as she took Gohan's left hand. "I don't want you to teleport us home -"

"-in the middle of a sentence again." Sephra looked around and was surprised to find herself at home. "Hey!" Sephra whirled around at Gohan, who had a mischievous grin on his face. "I told you I don't want you doing that!" Gohan began laughing, but then his voice was joined by another.

Android 17 got up from the chair in which he had been sitting. "You know, Sephra, you're pretty cute when you're angry," he said. "Am I right, Gohan?"

Gohan grinned a Goku-esque grin and started scratching the back of his head. "Heh heh heh. I think I'll take the Fifth on that one."

"Come on, Gohan, I'm curious," Sephra said, her hands on her hips.

"Sorry Sephra, but the Fifth Amendment states that I can refuse to incriminate myself," Gohan responded.

Pleadingly, Sephra looked to Android 17. "I hate to break it to you, but the kid's right," the android confirmed. Sephra dropped into a chair, crossed her arms, and pouted. "You'd better not let Vegeta see you like this," Android 17 said. "He'll start calling you a spoiled brat."

"Not that he should talk," Gohan added nonchalantly. "So, Sephra, what was it that had you miserable after the meeting?"

"Oh, right." Sephra sighed. "We had a dance coming up for this Saturday, but now it's been canceled."

"Why?" Gohan asked.

"For some reason, we couldn't find a disc jockey," Sephra explained. "It seems that all the local DJ's are booked."

"They're not all booked," Android 17 interrupted.

Sephra looked up at Android 17. "What do you mean?"

"My schedule is wide open for Saturday," Android 17 answered.

"You, a disc jockey?" Gohan asked in disbelief.

"Here, come with me," Android 17 said.

Android 17 pulled a capsule from his suitcase and opened it. The capsule had contained a top-of-the-notch stereo system, lights, a disco ball, and a massive CD collection. Gohan's jaw dropped when he saw the CD collection. "Holy cow! There must be hundreds of CDs in there!"

"Hang on," Sephra interrupted. "I get the feeling that these are all songs from Earth. I'm willing to bet that none of these CDs are Gabrian."

"Au contraire," Android 17 responded. "Your father came through with the prize money after all. I took about 10 percent and bought several of the most popular Gabrian CDs. Besides, I bet that some of the songs from home will go over well with the kids."

"Oh, thank you!" Sephra gave Android 17 a hug. "You're a lifesaver! Oh, before I forget, the dance is semiformal, so dress nice, and I mean both of you." Sephra then grabbed Gohan's arm. "Gohan, take me back to the school. I need to tell them the good news!"

"Oh, before I go," Gohan said, looking at Android 17. "Led Zeppelin are good, but they don't make for good dance music."

"Says who?" Android 17 asked.

Gohan shook his head. "I really hope you're joking."
