Little Saiyalings - The College Years
By: MU

Author’s Note: This chapter started rather slowly in my mind, but as you will read…it certainly picked up pretty fast.  Hope you’re presently surprised.

CHAPTER 15 – Know Your Enemy

 The tension in the air was thick as everyone waited for the tall, green man to speak.  He stood up, and the seconds crept by.  As his mouth opened up to speak, people seemed to lean off their chairs, hanging on and waiting for the first word to emerge.  Sensing this, the green man, decided that he would just have to get on with it; there would be no more hiding in the shadows.  “My name is Piccolo.  I have no major.”

 After saying that, he sat down.  The whole class was still staring at him as if to say “Is that all?”  It made Piccolo feel very nervous.

 The silence was soon broken by Prof. DVD, “Very good, nice to meet you Piccolo.”  The next person stood up, after hearing the Professor say this, albeit nervously, and continued in the fashion that the professor had described.

 Many of the people in the class came from varied backgrounds.  However most of the students in the class either paid attention to the “celebrities” (the wealthy and/or the athletic) as well as the “oddities” (the green men and Pud – cuz let’s face it, he just looks different…).

 In the first category, Goku is a Kinesiology major, and Krillin is a Journalistic Photography major.  Bulma gave her six majors in the doctoral program as well as telling the reason that she was the only doctoral candidate that was enrolled in any Freshman English class - she never bothered to test out of the class “because she wanted to have one class with her friends.”  Some people didn’t believe her at that statement.  Chi-Chi is a Secondary Education major and has a minor in Home Economics.  Vegeta revealed himself to be a Nuclear Physics major.

 Somewhere along the border of freakshow and “celebrity” was Freeza.  In a long winded, raspy, bragging, voice he told everyone in the classroom that he was a Drama major and a Political Science minor with a specialization in Dictatorship.  After saying this, he paused for a second, but just stood there.  Thus, everyone in the class thought that he was done speaking.  Just as the next person turned in their desk in order to stand, Freeza decided that he had something else to say.

 “Oh, and by the way…everyone in this class had BETTER get used to me ruling over you.  After all, one day the whole world will bow down in my infinite glory.”

 “Can it, Freeza!” Vegeta jumped out of his chair and shouted, “You’re nuts if you think you’re going to have any kind of sway in this school.  Remember, your daddy isn’t here to buy your friends.”

 The person who was in front of Freeza was still standing up to speak his bit.  However, at the sight of this, he became angered.  He turned to both Freeza and Vegeta and said, “Could both of you shut up and let me speak?”

 Pud, who was waiting to see what the boy would do, immediately started using his psychic powers to put a reaction block on Prof. DVD’s mind.  Being that the kid who was standing up to Freeza and Vegeta was the three-eyed guy that he had noticed earlier, he wanted to see how this would turn out.

 “Are you going to make me shut up, three eyes?” Freeza asked.

 “Well, if he isn’t,” Vegeta answered, “I’d be glad to do it for him.”

 The three-eyed, bald, tall guy (whom the females of the class noticed was pretty buffed) turned to Vegeta and simply said, “Sit down, stay out of this Vegeta.”

 “Geez, kid,” Vegeta smirked, “I was just trying to get this annoying, grey-purple, ‘flower power’ piece of crap to shut his hole for the good of all of us.  Is that all right with you?”

 “As a matter of fact, it isn’t.”  The three-eyed guy replied, “I remember what happened last time you and I met.”

 Vegeta was extremely surprised at this.  He didn’t remember ever meeting a three-eyed guy before.  “Well, if we’ve met before…then who the hell are you?”

 “Name’s Tien, if you must know.”

 There was a gasp from a few of the members of the class who recognized the name.  As for Vegeta, he really didn’t remember the name, although it sounded vaguely familiar.

 “Well, punk…I don’t know how the hell you know me, but the best advice I can give you is to leave me alone.”  Vegeta cracked a smirk.  “You don’t want any of this.”

 “Oh, really,” Tien retorted.  “See, the way I look at it, I still owe you re-payment for last time.”

 Noticing that the teacher was zonked out in Never-Never Land, and not wanting to miss the spectacle of an impending fight, Freeza sat down.  Vegeta, noticing the same thing about Prof. DVD, decided to press the issue of a fight.

 “Well, I don’t know how I know you, but if it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you’ll get.”  Vegeta insulted, “That is unless you’re a cowardly, three-eye freak.”

 “I dare you to say that again,” Tien began to walk to Vegeta, cracking his knuckles as the rest of the class watched.

 Vegeta also began to walk toward Tien.  “Fine, you’re a cowardly, three-eyed fre…”

 “Class dismissed, we’ll have to continue our introductions next time.”  Vegeta and Tien both walking towards each other, and looked over at the Prof.  Everyone began to leave the classroom, except for Freeza, Piccolo, Goku, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Krillin, and Pud.  The all wanted to see what was going on.  The Professor then motioned to Vegeta and Tien as he began to again speak.  “You two will have to stay after class.  I want to know what that little display you were putting on was all about.”

 “But…,” both Tien and Vegeta started.

 “No buts,” DVD interrupted, “Now get over here, both of you.  The rest of you are excused.”

 As Vegeta and Tien approached the front of the room, they saw Pud generate an arm out of his gelatinous body and wave as he wore a grin on his face.  Simultaneously, they heard a voice in their heads say, “Gotcha!” and then laugh.  Vegeta immediately recognized it as Pud.  He scowled at him as he and the rest of the class walked out.

 Outside of class, Goku, Chi-Chi, Bulma, Krillin, and Pud gathered for the long walk back to the dorms.  As they began to walk, 18 also found her way into the group.  The conversation centered on the events that had just occurred in class.

 “What do you think DVD’ll do to them?” Krillin asked.

 “No idea,” 18 replied, “but I hope it’s harsh.  Those guys seem like real dinks.”

 Chi-Chi just nodded her head in agreement, while Bulma said, “Whatever, I hope that jerk Vegeta gets what he has coming to him.”

 Noticeably, everyone laughed except for Goku.

 “Gee you guys.  I hope nothing too bad happens to him,” he said as he hung his head a little lower on his shoulders, genuinely concerned.

 “It’s not like that would be a bad thing, Goku,” Pud snickered.  The group once again broke out laughing, with Goku half-heartedly joining in…but he just didn’t feel good about it.
