A/N: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH It's been so long since I last updated this story. Sorry, I've been sweating through the semester and didn't have a lot of time to update the story. Let's see, we last left off with Gohan using the cheesiest pick up line I could think of. Wow, what a great place to stop. Well here goes the chapter.

"When you fell from heaven my little angel?"

A long silence descended upon the group of friends as each of their brains had ceased function.

Gohan's face turned beet red and he awkwardly scratched his head. This was not how it was supposed to work. He had looked up how to ask a girl out online and this was what it had told him to do, be smooth, use a good pickup line and have confidence.

Lime sat there dumbfounded while Erasa was shivering in excitement in her seat.

"Uhhh, Gohan?," Lime asked.

"Yes?"

"Why?"

"I uhhhh, saw it online and thought it was cute."

Lime sighed and leaned back in her chair.

"You're cute Gohan."

"That's what my mom tells me."

*crash*

Nearly everyone fell out of their chairs.

Now you may be wondering how we got to this point, so let's rewind to the day of Gohan and Lime's test.

Gohan was flying home from school and yet the only thing he could think about was Lime. Her smile, how warm and cozy he felt giving her that hug. It was to the point where he accidentally flew straight into a jet engine.

The jet turbine's propellers shattered when they hit Gohan's body and the jet soon began to point downwards as single turbine couldn't keep the weight of the jet in the air.

"Oh crap crap crap!"

Gohan clicked his watch, turning his into the Great Saiyaman with his brand new costume. He swooped in under the jet and helped it land safely. When the passengers began to file out of the jet, they all began thanking the pilot, god and most of all, their mysterious savior.

"Who are you?"

"I am the Z Fighter, defender of the innocent and bane to all evil."

A roaring applause erupted as the Z Fighter kept off into the sky, waving goodbye to the crowd.

As he got back into the air, he had a concerned look on his face and he made a U turn straight towards Kame House.

Gohan landed on the small island where Krillin, 18 and Master Roshi lived.

He clicked his watch to turn back into Gohan and knocked on the door.

A little girl's voice rang out from behind the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Gohan!"

"Big bwo Gohan?"

"Yup."

Marron opened the door and gave Gohan a big hug.

"Hey, Marron, good to see you too. Is your dad home?"

"Daddy's not home right now. He's on the big island with mommy right now."

"Oh I see, and what are you doing here?"

"Master Roshi's teaching me how to read."

"Really? What are you reading right now?"

"Shrek!"

"Ooooh, that's cool."

Gohan had never heard of Shrek before in his life.

"Is that you Gohan?" An old but strong voice emerged from the house.

"Hi Master Roshi! It's very good to see you're doing well."

"Hehe, I may be an old kook, but I'm still young on the inside."

"Gohan is that true?"

"Yea, I think so . . . Anyways, I have to go see your dad alright? Be a good girl and learn as much as you can okay?"

"Okay!"

"See ya later alligator."

And with that Gohan took off to see Krillin. Gohan was familiar with the big island, but he didn't know what Krillin was doing there. Then again, he hadn't seen Krillin in almost a year.

He landed on the big island where Goku and Krillin did their Turtle style training all those years ago.

He quickly located the biggest source of ki on the island and landed next to Krillin.

"Hey Krillin, long time no see."

"Gohan?! Hey what's up man? It's been too long. Holy moly, did you get even taller?"

"Yea, I'm about 5' 11" now. I'm glad to see you're doing well. What're you doing here?"

"I'm running the new Turtle Style School."

"New Turtle Style School?"

"Yep. I'm a master of the kame style too, y'know."

He pointed at the huge lake and said, "my students are currently swimming laps in there."

Gohan looked towards the lake and saw 15 pairs of arms swimming in the lake.

"Oh! That's cool! How long has the school been running?"

"Only a few months. None of my students are nearly as strong as your dad or I were when I was doing the training, which is why we've had to tone down their training."

Gohan sighed a breath of relief as he realized that Krillin understood that the old kame style training would kill any normal person.

A loud voice said, "Come on! Faster! If you all don't go faster, I'll bring the shark back here!"

Krillin sheepishly grinned as he pointed to 18, standing under a tree yelling at the students like a drill sergeant.

"Hi 18!"

18 turned and saw Gohan standing there. She waved and flew over next to them.

"Gohan, what a pleasant surprise."

"It's good to see you too 18."

"Oh yea, what's up Gohan? Something happen?"

"Uhh, nothing serious, I just needed some life advice."

"Life advice? Sure! What is it?"

"I uhh, how do I know if I like someone?"

18 and Krillin looked at each other and then back at Gohan. Krillin wrapped his arm around Gohan's shoulder and asked him in a sly tone, "So? Who's the special lady?"

"A girl named Lime."

"Lime? You got a picture of her?"

Gohan took out his phone and pulled up a picture of him and the gang hanging out at lunch. He zoomed in on Lime.

"Ohh, she's pretty."

18 gave Krillin a weird look and then said, "So this is the girl you think you like?"

Gohan nodded.

"Well, why do you think you like her?"

"I'm . . . not sure, but everytime I'm around her, my heart feels weird and fuzzy and I get all nervous around her."

18 smiled and put a hand on Gohan's shoulder, "that sounds like infatuation, which is different from love."

Krillin slapped Gohan's back and said, "Ahh, don't worry about it Gohan. Just do what feels right. As long as you follow your heart, you'll be just fine. You're a good kid. If you just look within yourself, you'll know exactly what to do."

Gohan had a blank stare as he looked at the two of them.

When his eyes finally gained focus, he slowly nodded his head and said, "I think I get it."

Krillin smiled and said, "Remember Gohan, there's no medicine for regret, if you like this girl, take the chance. Trust me, even if it doesn't work out, you'll be all the better for it."

Gohan chuckled and asked, "Is that coming from experience?"

Krillin wrapped his arm around 18's waist and gleefully exclaimed, "You know it!"

18's face reddened as she muttered under her breath, "you goon"

Gohan smiled and said, "Alright, thanks you two, I'm gonna go home now, or else Mom will yell at me for coming home late."

"Tell your mom that the ham she made at Bulma's last Christmas party was excellent. See if she'll share her recipe with me."

"Sure, no problem."

After Gohan took off for the skies, Krillin laughed and said to 18, "I guess Gohan's growing up."

"Yea, luckily Marron's still got a few years until she starts liking boys"

They both nervously laughed as they imagined Marron bringing home a boy.

Well, now that we've covered that, let's jump back to the aftermath of Gohan's . . . confession thing?

The entire gang spent the day acting as if Gohan's pick up line hadn't happened and continued on with their lives. Sharpner and Erasa went out after school to see a movie while Videl went home to train. Lime, had to go to work and went to prepare for dinner service at the Xi You Ji. Gohan on the other hand, was left with nothing to do after school.

As he stepped out the front doors, he sighed and ran his hand through his messy spiky hair.

He muttered under his breath, "Well, that didn't go as planned."

As he turned at the corner, he noticed that Orange Star High's baseball team had a home game. Seeing as how he nothing to do, he decided to sit in on the game and watch. There weren't many people, only a few students and some of the baseball players' parents. The game had just started and Orange Star High was pitching first.

The pitcher wound up and let rip a fastball that tore threw the air and netted them a strike. The game continued on for a couple more hours and Gohan sat there, enjoying the lazy afternoon. As the game was reaching the 9th inning, he was reminded of Yamcha, the greatest baseball player the world had ever seen.

He chuckled as he remembered his mom scowling about how Yamcha was such a player and how unfaithful he was to Bulma. Luckily, Yamcha managed to clean up his act and married his longtime girlfriend a couple years ago. With all the money he made from playing in the major leagues, he managed to retire early and now lives in a nice house in the suburbs near South City. He visits the Tenkaichi Budokai every time it happens and in fact, he is actually the main reason why the tournament managed to start back up. After Goku won the 23rd tournament, there was a long hiatus, but thanks to Yamcha and a coalition of fellow martial artists, he gathered the money to restart the tournament and even added a junior division to it.

After Orange Star High won the game, Gohan picked up his bag, straightened his pants out and began to walk out from the game. He found a small and lonely corner and took off towards South City in his Great Saiyaman costume.

As he coasted along on the brisk mountain winds, he took the moment to appreciate the sunset on the ocean and the warm glow it gave the islands that dotted the endless shimmering seas.

"Lime would've loved to see something like this. She really digs this kind of stuff."

Gohan stopped in mid air and pulled out his phone. The camera on his phone wasn't as nice as Lime's camera, but it still took pretty decent photos. He snapped a picture of the sunset and sent it to Lime.

As he landed in Yamcha's front yard, he reverted back to his normal clothes and knocked on the door. Yamcha's wife, Dimsam, opened the door. She had long straight black hair cut into bangs and soft features with amber colored eyes.

Yamcha met Dimsam during the three years between Mecha Frieza's arrival on Earth and the first Android attacks. She was a waitress at the family diner near his place in West City and since he became a regular, they began to get to know each other better. Yamcha, being the smooth playboy that he was, soon took her out on a date. Unlike Bulma though, Dimsam and Yamcha's personalities meshed much better and before he knew it, Yamcha had fallen head over heels for her.

". . . Oh, Gohan, was it? Hi! Welcome in, what brings you here?"

"Gohan?!"

Yamcha sprung up from his seat on the couch and motioned Gohan to come in.

"Hi Yamcha, Hi Dimsam."

"Hey Gohan, what's up? Don't you have school today? Last I heard, Chichi mentioned something about you starting school in Satan city right?"

"Oh yea, I started school a few weeks ago."

"You're probably top of your class right? All that studying Chichi made you go through must've really paid off huh?"

Gohan softly chuckled and nodded. Yamcha patted the seat beside him and said, "Well, what brings you all the way out here?"

"Oh, I uhh, saw a baseball game and I got reminded of you, and since I hadn't seen you a while, I thought I might pay a visit."

"I see, I appreciate the sentiment, but I can tell you're lying."

"Urk, uh what?"

"Gohan. It's all over your face."

Gohan's cheeks turned a bit red as he chuckled and finally admitted, "Alright, I came to ask you for some love advice."

Yamcha's brain halted for a second before jogging back up again.

"Love advice?" Dimsam asked.

"Umm, yea, there's this one girl at school that I think I've fallen for, and I wanted to know how to ask her out."

"Really now? Who is she?"

"Umm, her name is Lime. She's the granddaughter of Mr. Lao."

"Mr. Lao? The old master of the Chin Star school?"

"That's the one."

"I had no idea he had a granddaughter, what does she look like?"

Gohan pulled out his phone and showed him the group picture they took. He pointed at the one with auburn hair and said, "That's her."

"Hmm, I see, she's pretty cute!"

"Yea, she's gorgeous. Sometimes when the light is just right, her eyes sparkle like emeralds and her smile could light up a room."

"Yeesh, you certainly sound like you're in love."

Gohan caught himself and nervously laughed to himself, "I uh, well umm."

"Ahh, it's fine, I get it."

"You do?"

"Of course, every guy goes through this kind of stuff."

"I see."

"Listen, easiest way to ask her out, is to just ask if she wants to go see a movie with you, or ask her to the zoo or something. Don't schools usually have like, dances or something? Ask her to one of those. Something simple."

"Yea, don't do what Yamcha did and ask her to fancy dinner and try to show off your money."

Yamcha nearly choked when he heard that. "Ah! ah! ah! ah! Honey! You didn't have to tell him that!"

Dimsam giggled and said, "Aww, but you were so adorable."

Yamcha sighed and said, "anyways, back to the point, don't sweat the little things. Trust me. That's my biggest piece of advice."

"I see. Thank you."

"Aww, don't worry about it, good luck alright?"

"Thanks, I'll let you know if it works out."

"Alright, I'm expecting good news, afterall who would say no to such a smart handsome boy like you?"

Gohan awkwardly chuckled and waved Yamcha and Dimsam goodbye.

As he took off for home, the moon softly glowed in the starry night sky and reminded him of that night in Chazke village. He looked at his watch and saw that Lime would be getting off her shift right about now. He increased his power level and bolted it towards Satan City, making it there in record time. He floated above the city trying to find where Xi You Ji was. After a few minutes, he closed his eyes and instead trying to feel out Lime's ki. Within a minute, he found her location and made his way over there.

He landed right in front of Xi You Ji and caught his breath. He waited patiently for Lime to leave.

As she was putting up chairs for the night, Lime couldn't help but think about the thing Gohan had said this morning. Was he being a goofball? No, he wouldn't do something like that, but then what did he mean? Did he like her? Then who in their right mind would use a pick up line like that?

After putting up the last chair, she yelled out to her manager, "I'm going home for the night."

"Alright, thank you for your work, get home safe," replied her manager.

She opened the doors and took a big breath. Her feet hurt and she was exhausted. She made a quick to-do list in her head of what she needed to do before she could go to sleep and told herself to be strong. She turned right, only to be greeted with Gohan, standing there outside awkwardly.

"Gohan?"

"Uh, hey Lime."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm uh, . . good question. . . no wait," Gohan took a deep breath and said, "Lime, I really like you and I think you're super cool, do you -er, want to go see a movie with me?"

Lime stood there a bit shocked but then put on a devilish smirk and asked, "Are you asking me on a date Gohan? Or is this just between friends?"

"I-I'm asking you on a date."

"Oh my, and what if I say no?"

"Umm, I go home sad."

Lime laughed and said, "Sure Gohan, when do you want to go?"

"When are you free this week?"

"I don't have work on friday, do you want to go then?"

"Alright! Sounds good to me!"

Lime laughed and said, "Well, if that's what you wanted to ask me, then I think I'll go home now."

Gohan interjected, "Wait, umm, let me walk you home. Well er, I mean, I could fly you home if you wanted."

"Really? My feet hurt so I'd appreciate that, thanks."

With that, Gohan picked up Lime in his arms and took off for Lime's apartment. Lime wrapped her arms around Gohan's neck and just went along for the the entire time, he had a wide toothy grin plastered on his face, like a little kid who had just gotten his christmas presents.

"Oh, by the way, I got your picture, did you take that with your phone?"

"Yea, I did."

"Ah, no wonder the photo quality was lacking. You should take me back there with my camera, I could take a much better photo with it."

"Sure, I'd be glad to. Oh, that reminds me, what do you do with all your photos?"

"Hmm? Oh, I post them on my blog."

"You have a blog?"

"Huh? Uhh, . . . y-yea, I do."

"Really!? What's it about?"

"It's about uhh, me. Like, going from living in the Mountains to living in the big city."

"Whoa, that's so cool!"

"Wait, you really think so?"

"Yea! It's perfect for someone like me."

Lime laughed and said, "Yea, maybe it is."

They landed in front of Lime's apartment and Gohan gently put Lime down.

Lime thanked Gohan for the ride and waved him good night as she walked into her apartment building. After walking through the door, she had a wide grin on her face and as she climbed the stairs, she scrambled for her phone to text Erasa.
