Oblivious Chapter 1

It was another sunny day on Mt. Pazou, with birds chirping in the vast forests that were spread along the mountainsides, waterfalls crashing down and joining into rivers, and the dragons beginning to wake up to start another day of foraging. It was as close to paradise on Earth that you could find, and was the textbook definition of serene.

"I'M LATE!?"

Or at least it was.

Because in the vast expanse of the Mt. Pazou 349 mountain region, there was a small house, where lived 3 of the strongest (and strangest) people on the planet. This was the Son family, and today was a special day for one of them, since their life was about to go through one of the hardest trials known to teenage-kind.

High-school.

"Don't shout at the table Gohan! I raised you to have better manners than that." Chi-Chi screeched as she laid out another half dozen bowls filled to the brim with delicious home-cooked food.

Chi-Chi was the matriarch of the Son Family, and was the one responsible for raising and looking after her two sons, and even though they were two of the strongest beings on the planet, NO-ONE questioned her authority.

"Sorry Mum. But how am I late for school already? It's half-seven in the morning, school doesn't even start until nine…" Gohan mumbled softly, still somewhat reeling from being shouted at.

Gohan was the eldest son of Chi-Chi and Son Goku, the late champion of Earth. When Goku died at the Cell Games, Gohan took it upon himself to take up the mantle of Earth's protector. However, he wanted to do more than stop any attempt to destroy the Earth from aliens, monsters, and whoever else may be gunning for the small little ball of dirt and water. Gohan wanted to use his intellect to try and make the Earth a better place, improving it for everyone so that there was no need for crime. Call it a fool's dream, but it'd hardly be the weirdest thing to happen in Gohan's life.

But despite how honourable his intentions were and how intelligent he was (thanks to years of his mother drilling information into him like there was no tomorrow), he actually had no idea how to do this. After talking to Bulma, Gohan realised he had a lot of work to do if he wanted to even attempt to make his ambitions a reality.

After much consulting with his friends, Chi-Chi, rather surprisingly, offered a good place to start: high-school. No matter how Gohan went about trying to help the planet, Chi-Chi reasoned that it'd be much easier if he had a high-school diploma. She also pointed out that Gohan could use some friends that were closer to his own age, rather than his parent's age. So that brings us to today, Gohan's first day of school.

"I know that dear," Chi-Chi stated while walking back into the kitchen to put the empty bowls she had just gathered into the sink, "but it still takes you nearly an hour to get to Satan City, still can't believe they named the city after that oaf, and you still need to get your P.E. kit together, because I refuse to let you wear your Gi."

"But Muuuuum," Gohan whined, "martial arts IS on the curriculum, so I don't see why I can't wear my Gi."

This was when the youngest member of the Son family decided to weigh in, shouting excitedly "Yeah mum, Gohan needs to have his Gi so he can show everyone how cool he looks!"

Chi-Chi turned to look at Goten, the spitting image of Goku in both looks and attitude, and smiled wistfully as she mulled his words over. After a moment, she took a deep breath before turning back towards Gohan.

"Fine, you can wear your Gi. But I expect you to bring home a girl at some point if you're going to be showing off your muscles. Hopefully you'll find one that you can marry and have children with." she plainly stated offhandedly, completely ignoring Gohan's spluttering and near-choking.

"MUM!" Gohan finally blurted out after he had finished choking on his own breath.

"Don't you 'Mum' me young man, we both know you could use a nice girl in your life, otherwise you'll end up like that old pervert Roshi, or that idiot Yamcha who lives alone with that cat." Chi-Chi said as she rounded back round on Gohan.

"Fine, can I get going now?" Gohan muttered while sighing heavily and looking down.

Now smiling heavily as Gohan finally relented to her will, Chi-Chi walked off happily while reminding Gohan to get his Gi ready for school.

Finally free from his Mother's gaze, Gohan got up, walking back to his room that he shared with his brother, but not before ruffling up his hair as he walked past. As he went into his room to gather his already packed school things. While he was eager to get started, Gohan was apprehensive about going to a school filled with teenagers.

I mean, who wanted to hang out with teenagers?

None-the-less, he gathered his things and made for the door, deciding to get in early because knowing his luck, something was bound to go wrong.

"Bye Mum, Bye Goten!"

"Goodbye Big Brother!"

And with that, Gohan left, to start the next part of his life as a student at Orange Star High. Not knowing that this was going to be the strangest, but most memorable time of his life.

"Oh, that reminds me, Gohan! Be sure to keep your powers in check, we don't want people finding out about us and the rest of the Z Fighters." Chi-Chi tried to shout out to Gohan as he left, but it was too late. Gohan was already gone.
