Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at a (published) fanfiction. Constructive criticism is
welcome. Flames will be publicly mocked and flogged. Well, maybe not flogged.

This story is about Gohan and his highschool class plus Trunks, Goten, and Bulma being
transported to the Mirai Timeline. Gohan is in for a tough day. Two Bulmas. Two Trunks. Two
Videls. Videl meets Bulma. Videl meets Mirai Trunks. Videl meets . . . Videl? What is going on?!
Will it ever end?

Disclaimer: I do NOT own DBZ. I'd like to, though.

Dragon Ball Z
Field Trip to the Future

Chapter 1
The Doomsday Announcement
The countryside of the 439 mountain area in rural Japan was awakening to a beautiful
morning. The sun was rose slowly over the horizon in the way that gave the name "Land of the
Rising Sun." Birds sang in the trees and the furry woodland creatures went about their business on
the ground. All was calm and peaceful . . . at least for a few seconds.

"WAKE UP, BIG BROTHER!" pierced the mountainside, followed immediately by a loud
cry of surprise and terror. This was followed, in turn, by an exclamation: "GOTEN!" Afterwards, a
loud commotion rattled throughout the area. Those animals who had not already run for cover did
so now. Fortunately, the commotion ended in two loud, metallic thuds. Then there was silence.
The animals resumed their normal lives as if the previous occurrence was a common thing, which it
was.

Inside the only house in this particular region, Chichi Son stood framed in the doorway of
her older son's bedroom, arms crossed and a frying pan in her hand. She scowled down at her two
sons, who were both on the floor nursing large bumps on their heads. "Must you boys always make
such a racket in the morning?" she scolded the two.

The older, Gohan, looked up at his mother. "It's not my fault! Goten screamed in my ear
and scared me half to death!"

"That may be true," Chichi replied, glaring at Goten, her younger son, who returned her
look with his best rendition of the Son Puppy Dog Look. Unfortunately for the six year old human-
saiyan hybrid, his mother was unaffected by the look that could cripple a lesser woman. Chichi
turned her glare to Gohan. "But that doesn't mean that you can fire a masenko in the house!"

Gohan sheepishly scratched the back of his head and gave the Son Grin. "Um . . . reflex
action?"

Chichi gave him a "do you think I'm stupid" look. She then rolled her eyes at her sons'
antics. "Anyway," she said turning back to the hallway, "breakfast is ready, unless . . ." She didn't
get to finish as both boys forgot about their head injuries and dashed out of the room, down the
stairs, and into the kitchen faster that the blink of an eye. Chichi sighed then chuckled. The boys
were just like their father, Goku. She followed them down at a more human pace.

After the boys inhaled their breakfast (Chichi had her doubts that the boys really "ate" food
as opposed to just absorbing it, after all, she couldn't actually see them eat it) Gohan changed into
his school clothes and gathered his things. He adjusted the shoulder strap on his bag and opened the
door. As he exited, he turned and hollered back into the house, "I'm leaving for school! By, Mom!
See ya later, Goten!" A chorus of good-byes followed him as he leapt into the air and flew away
from the house.

The wind whipped past Gohan's face as he sped off towards Satan City. The name of Satan
City was actually quite ironic for Gohan. The city was renamed in honor of Hercule Satan, the
"man who defeated Cell." The irony was that Mr. Satan had actually hid behind a boulder while
Gohan destroyed the monster that was Cell. Unfortunately, the victory had cost the life of Goku
Son, Gohan's father. Goku had asked not to be wished back to life with the Dragon Balls, saying
that the Earth was safer without him. Gohan had blamed himself for his father's death, but had
eventually accepted it and forgave himself (Goku, of course, never considered his son guilty of
anything). Gohan was actually glad someone else took credit for killing Cell, he didn't want to be
famous, and judging by Videl's attitude towards reporters and her dad, he was glad he wasn't.

Videl Satan was the daughter of Hercule and was one of Gohan's classmates. She and
Gohan were in the same friend group, although Videl always seemed to be irrationally suspicious of
Gohan. She would glare at him all through class. Gohan just hoped she would never connect him to
the Great Saiyaman, his alter-ego.

Gohan landed on the roof of Orange Star Highschool (OSH) in Satan City. He quickly
headed inside to class. He was greeted by the ever perky Erasa. "Hi there Gohan! How are you
doing?" Gohan knew not to attempt a reply. The blond haired girl began to talk again before he
could have. She babbled on about highly unimportant things Gohan couldn't care less about.
Sharpener, a bland haired jock, was seated on the other side of Erasa. He greeted Gohan with a nod,
which Gohan returned.

A minute later, Gohan was saved by the arrival of Videl, who sat between himself and Erasa.
She only had time to greet Gohan before she became the target of her blond friend's conversation.
Soon after, the first teacher arrived and took roll. He then launched into a lecture on the finer points
of anti-differentiation. Gohan tuned the lecture out, like usual. His mother had drilled this stuff into
his head when he was ten. Everyone else paid attention (or as much attention as their personalities
allowed).

At the end of class, Gohan was snapped from his daydreams by the teacher passing out a slip
of paper and making an announcement. "As I'm sure you all know," he began. "This Friday is the
senior class's annual field trip. We will, as usual, be taking a tour of the Capsule Corporation."
Gohan stiffened in his seat. He most certainly did NOT know about this! The teacher continued,
"These are your permission slips. Please bring them back signed by Friday." The class gave a small
cheer. Everyone loves field trips! Everyone except Gohan that is.

The demi-saiyan turned to Videl. Even she seemed to be a bit excited. "What is this all
about?" he asked her.

Videl looked at him curiously for a second before she remembered. "Oh, that's right.
You're new so you wouldn't know." Gohan raised an eyebrow and Videl continued, "Every year
the senior class goes on a field trip to Capsule Corp."

Erasa leaned back in her seat an grinned at Gohan. "This year it's our turn. Isn't it great?"

"Uh, yeah . . . great."
