It's with a heavy heart that I'm writing this update. I just no longer have the time or desire to continue this fic, and this will be the final chapter. I appreciate everyone who has followed/supported, and taken an interest in my story.
April Fools! This fic is my baby, and I will NEVER let her go.
An update in the big year of 2026?!?! I'm just as shocked as all of you. This is a bit of a shorter chapter while I try to get my bearings with this fic again. I'm hoping to update at least semi-frequently now. That or I'll see you all in 2027. As always, DM's/Comments are always open if you have any comments, questions, or concerns. I'd also like to thank everyone for the constant support throughout the years .It means more than you know.

Chapter 19
-
Six days. Six long, grotesque days on this rock. That's all it took for you to lose what was left of your mind. You've even found yourself longing for your pod, something you once hated with every fiber in your body. It may have been cramped, but at least you were mobile. You're not used to staying in one place for long, it's starting to make you feel a bit queasy. And what makes it worse, Kakarot and his brat reside in the middle of nowhere. It honestly feels like you're living on the remnants of a planet you've decimated at times. This must be that karma thing you've read about. Frieza finally got his, so the universe must be coming for you next.
Much to your disdain, you've developed a routine of sorts. Train, read, eat, sleep, repeat. At least this planet has a vast amount of literature at your disposal. You've also noticed that Gohan disappears practically daily from the hours of eight am to three pm, often with a large bag and a stack of books a mile high. You find it a bit peculiar, sure, but if that's how he chooses to train, who are you to question it.
You're sprawled out across the couch, a book in hand. You glance at the clock. It's a bit past the normal time Gohan arrives home. You're not too worried about it. Children are naturally curious. You were always off in your own little world as a child. It drove your father mad. You were never in the place you were supposed to be. And who could blame you, a good adventure is better than sitting around a stuffy palace any day.
But Gohan isn't like you. Responsible, punctual, always home by the exact time on the dot. In that way, he reminds you a bit of Vegeta. Like if he was bitten by a rabid animal that made him all happy-go-lucky. You're not sure what to do. Should you call someone? Go out and look for him? What would you do when you lost Raditz? It's been so long you can barely remember.
Before you can jump to further, more drastic measures, the door opens. The boy shuts the door, dropping a large stack of books and a bag onto the floor. "You're late." Gosh, did you say that? That was far too Vegeta-like for your liking.
"Yeah, sorry." The boy sheepishly rubs the back of his neck. "My teacher had to talk with me after school. I missed so much work, I have so much to catch up on."
"School?" Your nose scrunches. "Is that what they call training here?"
"No." He shakes his head, mirroring your confusion. "Did they not have school on your planet?" By the look on your face, he can tell the answer. "Well, it's this place where kids go to learn stuff. Like math, science, and reading, writing, all the things we need to know when we grow up."
"Oh," You can imagine the look on your father's face if you were to pitch him that idea. But it sounds like something that would've been right up your alley. In a way, it makes you sad. Almost like you've missed out in a way. You loved your life on planet Vegeta. You got to explore and learn everything hands-on. And yet, you feel almost empty. Is it possible to yearn for something you never had?
"Actually... about school." Oh, you don't like the sound of this. "Okay, before you say no. Just hear me out. So, my teacher is super concerned about how much school I missed. She said she wants to set up a parent-teacher conference to discuss it."
"Well, I don't see how that's possible since your father is-" The look on his face alone tells you a thousand words. "Absolutely not."
"Oh, come on, please." The boy begs. "They won't let me come back to school if you don't."
"Can't you have Raditz do it? I mean, he's technically your uncle." He may not be a very good one, but the blood relation is there.
"Well, there is another reason I need you to do it." An ulterior motive? How conniving. There's a part of you that's somewhat proud. " So, my teacher is a bit too friendly with my dad."
Oh. That's vile. "So she flirts with him, and your father is too moronic to realize."
"Yeah, so if you're there, ya know, she'll stop cause...." Gohan's eyes lock on the floor, desperately avoiding eye contact. "You're all mean and scary and stuff." He looks back up, finally gaining courage again. "All you have to do is pretend to be my mom."
"I see." You can't believe you're actually entertaining this right now. But you have to admit you've been dying to get out of this house. And you're not a monster who would deprive a young boy of his education. "Alright. I'll do it."
"Really?" The boy shouts in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
"Oh, so you want me to change my mind now?"
"No, not at all. Thanks!" He grins widely. "I'm going to my room to study." He picks up everything he previously dropped, heading to his bedroom with a bit of pep in his step.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is nothing like you thought it would be. Every single one of your senses is amplified. So many adults and children alike have stared at you as if you had two heads. So what if you have a tail? You've counted several species on this planet that have a tail just like yours. "Are we almost there?" You turn to Gohan. All these eyes are making you feel antsy.
"Yeah," the boy nods, turning a corner, leading you down a long hallway. "It's the door all the way at the end." The boy leads you into a room where a woman is standing with her back to you, writing on the board.
"Good morning, Miss Honey." Gohan greets his teacher, bowing politely.
The woman turns around, still not looking at you. Her sunshine-yellow hair matches her disgustingly cheery tone. "Goku, I'm so glad you could make-" She cuts herself off, her eyes locking on you, observing your aloof expression. "You're not Goku."
"Keen observation." Your lips press together in a thin line. "Do you refer to all the parents by their first names?"
"Gohan," The woman smiles brightly, getting down to the boy's level. "Who's our special friend you brought here?"
"Miss Honey, this is my mom." He gestures to you, telling his teacher your name, mirroring her wide smile.
"Oh," The corners of her mouth droop for a moment, before she stands back up. "How come we've never met before?" She directs her attention to you, "I've been Gohan's teacher for many years now."
"I travel a lot... for work."
"Okay then, it's nice to finally meet you." She extends her hand toward you, but quickly retracts, noticing your lack of reciprocation. Her nervous laughter fills the air. "Well, your son is one of my brightest students. I do appreciate you coming down here, but I'd feel far more comfortable with Goku here, since he's familiar with how things work here. I suppose we can reschedule for another time when he's available."
"I believe it's called a parent-teacher conference. Not a Goku-teacher conference." Your voice booms. "So conference me."
"Of course." The woman stares at you wide-eyed and clears her throat. "Please take a seat. Gohan, sweetheart, you can wait out in the hallway."
"No, he'll stay right here." You slump into the seat, extending the chair beside you outward. Gohan looks back and forth between the two of you before cautiously sitting down beside you.
Miss Honey beams at you, but it's extremely forced. She sits down on the opposite side of the desk. "So, where is Goku this morning?"
"He's out... ummm-" Gohan trails.
"Visiting his brother, Raditz, they're awfully close." You quickly save the situation.
"Oh, wow. Goku never told me he had a brother." Who does this woman think she is? The way she says his name makes your stomach churn.
"I don't see what Kakarot-- I mean Goku's whereabouts have to do with this." God, saying that name is vile. "I thought you were concerned about Gohan's education?"
"Of course. I was just making conversation." Miss Honey chuckles nervously. "So I am concerned. Gohan has missed over an entire year of studies. He's very far behind compared to his classmates."
"Like you said, he's bright, he'll catch up." You lean back in your chair. "Just give him all the work he's missed. He'll do it at home."
"That's months of work. I'm afraid what you're saying is just not in the realm of possibility."
"Try me." You cross your arms, radiating confidence.
The woman across from you blinks several times, almost not believing what she's heard. "Miss, I'm afraid that-"
"Mrs." Miss Honey's face falls. One word alone confirmed what she desperately didn't want to believe. "Gohan has his nose in his books as soon as he arrives home. He's more than capable. So give him the work." The teacher nods. "Now is that all?"
"Yes, that's all."
You roll your eyes and stand up. "This was ridiculous. This entire thing could've been a transmission."
"A what?" The teacher raises a brow.
"She means a phone call." Gohan stands up, following your example.
"This was a complete waste of my time." You huff.
"Wow." The teacher sighs. "I can't believe someone as pleasant as Goku would be married to someone like-" Your eyes widen, swinging your body back toward the woman. A woman of your status, of your standing. Back on planet Vegeta, someone like you being in a relationship with a third-class weakling would be unheard of.
"I can't believe you'd have the audacity to-"
Before you can go off, or worse, injure the woman, Gohan grabs your arm. "Come on, Mom. Let's go." The boy pulls you out of the room.
"That stupid... moronic... I should go back in there and sever her limb from limb." You grumble to yourself, striding down the hallway. "She's even worse than the blue-haired woman." If you spend one more second in this dreadful building, you can't make any promises that the structural integrity will remain intact. Kakarot better come home soon, you're not sure how many more interactions with that woman you can take.
