Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Gohan was already up at the crack of dawn.

Applejack and Big Mac were going out to the fields.

Gohan followed.

"Good morning." He said.

This startled the siblings.

"Oh, hey Gohan. You're up early." Applejack said.

"I'm going to train here for a little bit, do you mind if I do that?" Gohan asked, referring to the small, flat space.

"Sure thing, and if you want, you can help out in the field." Applejack said.

"I'll be sure to do that." Gohan said, smiling.

Gohan began his usual routine again.

10,000 Push-ups and sit-ups.

Tons of punches and kicks.

It took him about a half hour, but he finished.

Gohan already began picking crops for Applejack and Big Mac.

They were taking a small break, sitting while they watched Gohan's endless show.

Gohan picked each ear of corn with speed and precision.

In moments, Gohan finished picking all of the corn.

"That's about enough for the morning..." Applejack said.

"You sure?" Gohan asked.

"Eeyup. Let's get inside for breakfast." Big Mac said.

***

It was already time for Gohan and Applebloom to head out for school.

Gohan tried to avoid as many ponies as possible heading there, he could be the center of attention.

The classroom was full of fillies, and Cheerilee was scheduling her classes today.

As they entered the Ponyville Schoolhouse classroom, two other fillies ran up to Applebloom and Gohan.

It was Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"Hey gals!" Applebloom said.

"Hey Applebloom! Who's this?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Yeah, why's he here?" Scootaloo asked.

Gohan bowed his head. "I am Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you." He said, holding out a hand.

Scootaloo took the tall person's hand and shook it.

"He's big." Scootaloo said.

The fillies were half the size of Gohan.

Cheerilee approached Gohan. "Hello, you must be... Gohan." Cheerilee said.

"Yes, C- I mean, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said, bowing his head.

"Jeez, he bows his head often. Must be a karate thing." Scootaloo said.

"I don't do karate, silly." Gohan said.

"Well, class starts soon. You will greet everyone." Cheerilee said, trotting away to her desk.

"What'd you bring for show and tell, Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"I brought a science thing about apples." Applebloom said.

"W-What's show and tell?" Gohan asks.

"We do it once a week, and it's a lot of fun. We show something very interesting, and the pony who wins receives no homework for the rest of the week." Scootaloo said.

"That... Sounds pretty bad." Gohan said.

"W-Wha?" Scootaloo asked.

"Wouldn't homework be a good thing?" Gohan asked.

"... Nopony here likes homework." Applebloom said.

"O-Oh, sorry. I tend to like it..." Gohan said.

"What? But if you're an egghead, why sport the karate uniform?" Scootaloo asked.

"Well, I'm also a martial artist." Gohan said.

"Yeah, he's no joke. Says he wears 430 kilos worth of clothes." Applebloom said.

"That can't be real." Scootaloo said.

"I think that's why my sister was so tired making them..." Sweetie Belle said.

"Oh, so Rarity's your sister." Gohan said.

"Yeah." Sweetie Belle said.

"Tell me how you wear those! You move around like it's nothing!" Scootaloo said.

Gohan removed his wristbands. "Try this." He said, handing the wristbands to Scootaloo.

"W-What is this?" Scootaloo asked, struggling to keep hold of the wristbands.

"They're 15 kilos each." Gohan said.

"That can be so awesome for show and tell!" Scootaloo said, handing the wristbands back to Gohan.

"I don't know about that..." Gohan said, putting his wristbands back on.

"Wow, you must be super strong! I guess your speed won't be so great." Scootaloo said.

"I guess, heheh." Gohan said.

Two fillies, Snips and Snails wanted to prank Gohan.

They snuck up behind him, and were about to jump up and say boo.

Gohan knew they were behind him, and that they crept up slowly.

He decided to pull a nice prank himself.

Before Snips and Snails jumped, Gohan moved behind them in an instant.

"Hey guys." He said.

This startled Snips and Snails, and they screamed.

"Gotcha." Gohan said, chuckling.

"H-How'd you know we were..." Snips asked.

Gohan had realized how he just slipped up.

"J-Just a hunch." He lied.

"B-But you moved so fast! You must've teleported!" Snails said.

"I don't have magic." Gohan said.

"I-I... What?" Snails asked.

They kind of backed away from Gohan.

Gohan turned back to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"I'm sorry, where were we?" He asked.

"H-How did you..." Scootaloo asked.

Gohan realized how he slipped up, AGAIN.

"Cough it up, Gohan. You have super speed." Applebloom said.

"You caught me, heh. Just don't tell anyone?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, you're not as fast as Rainbow Dash. Not a big deal." Scootaloo said.

"Y-Yeah." Gohan said.

"So what are you going to show for show and tell?" Sweetie Belle asked.

Gohan sighed. "I don't know, maybe my weighted clothing." He said.

"How can you even move in that?" Scootaloo asked.

"It strains me constantly." Gohan lied.

"Oh. So you're in a ton of pain moving around in that?" Applebloom asked. "You were running all around the corn, and taking each ear off fast. How'd you do that?" She added.

"I guess I'm just excited for school." Gohan lied.

"Who's this? A hairless monkey?" Another filly asked.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just arrived to school.

Gohan turned around. "Hello. My name is Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Who are you?" He asked, holding his hand out.

"What? Why are you here? As show and tell?" Diamond Tiara asked before giggling with Silver Spoon.

Gohan retracted his hand, knowing they are mean. "No. I came to learn. Also because I have to." He said.

"Why did they even let an ape in here anyway? He knows karate!" Diamond Tiara said.

"For the last time it's not- Whatever, can you leave us alone?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, he's new. Don't do that to him." Applebloom said.

"Yeah, we might add him to the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Scootaloo said.

"Yeah." Sweetie Belle said.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed at this.

"D-Did they say something funny?" Gohan asked.

"Earning your cutie mark is, sooo last week." Silver Spoon said, showing her cutie mark off along with Diamond Tiara.

"That's good for you. I can't get a cutie mark but I am good at something." Gohan said.

"What's that? Karate?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Close enough, its martial arts! And also trying to be a scholar." Gohan said.

"What, you want to be a nerd when you grow up?" Silver Spoon asked.

"Kinda, yeah." Gohan said.

"I'm really confused at this, let's go." Diamond Tiara said, trotting away with Silver Spoon.

"Are they usually that mean?" Gohan asked.

"Yeah, they're always like that. Really lame." Scootaloo said.

"I guess it's a part of school life..." Gohan said.

"Students!" Cheerilee called. "We're about to start class, please take your seats." She said.

Thankfully, the seats and desks were large enough for Gohan to study.

Gohan sat beside Applebloom, while Scootaloo was behind Gohan's towering figure, and Sweetie Belle was behind Applebloom.

"Uh, Gohan, can you move?" Scootaloo asked.

Gohan realized his height problem, and immediately moved to the back of the room.

Scootaloo was about to stop him, but it was for the best. Diamond Tiara would complain about it too.

"Good morning, class." Cheerilee said.

"Good morning Miss Cheerilee." The class, including Gohan said.

"We have a new student here today. His name is Son Gohan. Gohan, can you come up here to greet the class?" Cheerilee asked.

Gohan got up from his seat, and walked to the chalkboard.

He faced the class, body posture perfect.

"Hello. I'm Son Gohan, but you can just call me Gohan. Good to meet you!" Gohan said, bowing his head.

Some of the fillies had seen Gohan in public before.

"Now, Gohan, you can pick three questions from the audience." Cheerilee said.

Many hooves shot up.

"Uh... Alright, you." Gohan said, pointing at Pipsqueak.

"Are you a master of karate?" Pipsqueak asked.

"N-Not quite, but I am a martial artist." Gohan said.

"Two more questions." Cheerilee said.

The hooves shot up once more.

"Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Featherweight.

"Are you a monkey?" He asked.

"I used to have a tail, so kinda." Gohan said.

"I have an addendum to that question. How did you lose it?" Featherweight asked.

"I'm not so sure myself. Sorry." Gohan said.

"One more question." Cheerilee said.

Hooves shot up once more.

"Alright... You." Gohan said, pointing at Twist.

"Aren't you the one who defeated Discord?" She asked.

"U-Uh... N-No. I'm not." Gohan lied.

"But you're Son Gohan?" Twist asked.

"I-I think that was my dad." Gohan lied.

Twist ended her questioning there.

Cheerilee knew Gohan was lying.

So did Applebloom.

"You may sit down." Cheerilee said.

Gohan did just that.

"Alright, first class is mathematics. Please take out your textbooks, notebooks and homework. Gohan, I will hand you new textbooks and notebooks." Cheerilee said.

The fillies all took out their homeworks, then their textbooks and notebooks.

Cheerilee handed Gohan a few notebooks and textbooks.

It was Mathematics, History, and Reading.

"Thank you." Gohan said.

Cheerilee walked up to the board and wrote down all of the problems that the students had the previous day.

"Alright, class. Raise your hoofs if you know the answer to the questions." Cheerilee asked.

A few fillies raised their hoofs, and Gohan raised his hand.

"G-Gohan? You haven't done the homework." Cheerilee said.

"I know the answers." Gohan said.
