DISCLAIMER: IF I OWNED DRAGON BALL Z WOULD I BE WRITING A DISCLAIMER? NO? THEN THERE'S YOUR ANSWER.
A Field Trip to Remember
"You're actually on time Gohan!" Erasa squealed in disbelief as Gohan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Heh heh...I guess I am," Gohan said as he took his seat with a small smile. There hadn't been any crime this morning that the regular police couldn't handle. In fact there had been less crime ever since he showed up as his totally cool alter ego the Great Saiyaman, and helped defeat bad guys.
"Hah! I'm surprised Nerd Boy would be late so much anyway," Sharpener said with a cocky smirk. "You'd think that a geek like him would rather die than miss a single second of school!"
"Oh leave him alone Sharpener," Erasa snapped. "Gohan lives really far away, so of course he'd be a little late once in a while."
"That's true," Videl said coming up the stairs as she stared pointedly at the nervous Gohan. "You do live very far away Gohan...Why it's a six hour drive just to get to the city, isn't it? Why would anyone willingly subjugate themselves to that kind of torture every day? Unless you have a faster way to get to school..."
"Who me? No, no of course not!" Gohan denied looking anywhere but Videl in the eye. "I just...uh...really care about my grades?"
"Why did that sound like a question?" Videl asked with a raised eyebrow and a smirk that made Gohan sweat bullets.
'She's as scary as mom!' Gohan thought frightened. "It was your imagination?"
"Are you saying I'm insane?" Videl asked with steel like eyes.
"What? NO! Of course not! I meant...err...I'm not sure what I meant..." Gohan finished with a mumble that made Videl's smirk widen even further.
"That's right, you better not or it might be the last thing you ever do," Videl threatened with a raised fist for emphasis.
"Yes ma'am!" Gohan squeaked as he hid his face in his math textbook while Sharpener laughed superiorly and Erasa patted his back sympathetically.
It wasn't until days later that Videl realized Gohan had managed to completely sidetrack her question.
"Settle down class," Toriyama-sensei called out and the class instantly died down. "It is with a heavy heart that I must remind you that your class will be the participants of the Survival Field Trip this year."
As one the entire class let out a long shuddering breath...Well everyone but one confused Gohan. "Yes, I know," Toriyama-sensei said warily. "Unfortunately, failure to participate will result in the immediate expulsion...You may talk about amongst yourselves until homeroom is over."
"What's the Survival Field Trip?" Gohan asked immediately with a frown causing a nerdy boy in the row below him to snort.
"You haven't heard Mr. Perfect Scores?" Painte Brushe asked with a superior smirk. "You'd think someone with brains like yours would look stuff up about the school you went to!"
"Oh shut up Brushe!" Erasa retorted with an annoyed look. "It's not like you'd be smart enough to look it up either Mr. Number Three!"
"What was that, Miss Number Five?" Brushe asked angrily, but before Erasa could retort Videl slammed her hand on the table.
"Mind your own business Brushe!" Videl said and the boy instantly shut up as he didn't want to upset the daughter of his hero. "As for the field trip Gohan, every summer break the second years has to take a field trip. Class Two-A goes on a survival trip, Class Two-B visits Capsule Corp's new product lab in Metro-North, Class Two-C stays in the guest rooms to my dad's gym and Class Three-D stays at the World Martial Arts Tournament grounds."
"Wh-What kind of survival trip are we talking about here?" Gohan asked getting a bad feeling.
"We get left in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on our back and a small bag," Sato Yue explained from the row below. "The location is always different and the teachers never accompany us."
"Is that dangerous?" Gohan asked in disbelief.
"Of course it is!" Videl said with an exasperated sigh. "The teachers have been trying for years to convince my dad to put a stop to the program...Especially since two years ago the class ended up resorting to cannibalism!"
Gohan's face turned green and his eyes opened wide in shock. "Yeah...but my dad is so stubborn and won't admit when he's wrong! And, worst of all is that everyone is on his side since my dad since he saved us from Cell!" Videl was practically pulling her hair out. "It's so freaking STUPID!"
"Who cares about how dangerous it is?" A voice from the row above them cut in. "I'm more interested in the adultless time we'll have there...Just imagine Gohan, all of those hot girls around you will have to bathe out in the open!"
Gohan's face turned beat red and he stared at him in disbelief. "That's a good point Yamanaka Satoshi," Watanabe Sora said sitting next to him. "Imagine how hot Videl must look when she's washing her bare b—"
Sora was cut off from his speech when he and Satoshi both received a punch in the face that knocked them out of their chairs. Everyone stared in shock as Gohan stood there with his arms still held up as he shook.
Everyone thought he was shaking with fear since Sora was actually a pretty good martial artist, but Narutaki Risa could see quite clearly that he was shaking with suppressed rage. "How...How can you speak about Videl or ANYONE like they're a piece of meat?" Gohan shouted in anger. "Have you no shame?"
"You bastard!" Sora yelled as he wiped the blood from his nose on his sleeve. "How dare you hit me you nerdy little loser?"
Sora made to kick Gohan (not that it would work), but before he could hit him a hand caught the leg. "Oh protecting the nerd again, eh Ochi Neji?" Sora mocked as he glared at the boy.
"You got what you deserved," Neji retorted as Sora pulled his leg out.
"I'm not afraid of you Ochi," Sora said getting into a position.
"What about me then?" Videl asked with a glare causing Sora to flinch. "Did you forget I could hear everything you two said? You lucked out you know because I was about ready to hit you myself but Gohan beat me to the...ah...punch."
Sora and Satoshi put their hands up to protect themselves, but before Videl could attack Toriyama-sensei coughed getting everyone's attention. "That...That'll be enough Videl. I'll take it from here," Toriyama-sensei said and Videl scowled but got out of her fighting position. "As for you two hooligans...Detention and I'll be calling your parents."
"Hey, aren't you going to give Gohan detention?" Satoshi yelled back. "He hit us!"
"You got what you deserve," Toriyama-sensei said calmly. "However, if you fight again Gohan I'm afraid I'll have to call your mother."
Gohan's face went stark white as he imagined how his mother would act..."It won't happen again sir!" Gohan squeaked as he sat down quickly.
"Momma's boy," Coula Marka coughed to himself.
"Good...Now about we get started on your math work," Toriyama-sensei said. "Please turn to page twelve in your textbooks."
At those terrible words everyone groaned and compiled...Gohan however could not get rid of the feeling that he was not going to enjoy the trip.
Videl just wondered where Gohan managed to throw such a good punch.
