"E-Excuse me?" Cheerilee asked.

"C-Can I come up to the board?" Gohan asked.

"Y-You may...?" Cheerilee asked, dumbfounded.

The rest of the class was just as surprised.

They didn't know, but Gohan was at a 12th grade level.

They were doing 4th grade math, it was a joke for Gohan.

Gohan took the chalk, and wrote the answer down for every single answer.

"1. 6, 2. 24, 3. 5, 4. 15, 5. 27" he wrote.

One of the questions happened to be the bat and ball problem.

Gohan answered "The ball is 5 bits, and the bat is 105 bits."

Cheerilee was shocked to see a this random student doing the homework in an instant.

"Done." He said, putting the chalk down.

"I-It appears you answered every single one correctly..." Cheerilee asked.

Gohan smiled.

"Now hold on!" Applebloom asked.

"Yes, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked.

"He got number 6 wrong!" Applebloom said.

Cheerilee giggled. "I expected you to say that. Who else thinks Gohan is wrong?" She asked.

Every single filly in the room raised their hoof.

"You're all wrong." Cheerilee said with a smile.

"What!?" The entire class asked.

"Gohan, care to explain?" Cheerilee asked.

(Warning: Nerdy crap coming your way)

"Sure. I know you all got: 'The ball was 10 bits. The bat is 100 bits.' But that's wrong. The bat is 100 bits more than the ball. If the ball were 10 bits, then the bat would be 110 bits. That's 120 bits, not 110. See, that's why the ball is 5 bits. The bat would be 105 bits, adding the ball would be 110." Gohan said.

Cheerilee was pleasantly surprised by Gohan.

The class was very surprised by Gohan's explanation.

"S-Should I go sit down?" Gohan asked.

"Y-Yes, you may..." Cheerilee said.

Gohan sat down.

"You see why Gohan was correct, class?" Cheerilee asked.

"Yes, Miss Cheerilee." The class said.

"Alright, any questions with the homework?" Cheerilee asked.

No one answered.

"Okay, class. Hand in your homeworks now. Except you, Gohan." Cheerilee said.

After the handing in of homework, the class finally began.

"Class, open your textbooks to page 42. We will sharpen our knowledge of PEMDAS today." Cheerilee said.

The class, including Gohan opened their textbooks to page 42, and opened their notebooks.

Cheerilee wrote a pretty long problem on the board.

Gohan did the problem in his notebook in an instant.

"Class, can somepony come up to the board and do this problem?" Cheerilee asked.

A few hoofs, and a hand shot up.

"Alright... Sweetie Belle, come up and do this problem." Cheerilee said.

Sweetie Belle used her magic to use the chalk.

The question was: "67 - 6 x 11 + 7"

She answered: "678"

"Although I commend your mental math, you are wrong." Cheerilee said.

"What?" The class, except Gohan asked.

"Does anyone else want a turn?" Cheerilee asked.

Gohan was quick to raise his hand.

"G-Gohan." Cheerilee said.

Gohan came up to the board and answered: "8".

"Correct." Cheerilee said.

"Thank you." Gohan said.

"How?" Some fillies asked.

"Gohan used PEMDAS correctly, following the rules. Multiplication before adding or subtracting." Cheerilee said.

Gohan went to sit down.

"Okay class, I want you to do numbers 2 through 10. Show all work. If you have gone ahead, you won't receive credit. And, begin!" Cheerilee said.

All of the fillies and Gohan began to do the problems.

Gohan was so fast, he finished in 10 seconds. He even showed the work.

He raised his hand.

"Did you go ahead, Gohan?" Cheerilee asked.

"No. I was at the board." Gohan said.

"Hm..." Cheerilee said as she trotted to Gohan.

She looked at his notes.

Not only were they neat, they were all right and all of the work was shown.

Cheerilee was surprised. Her face said that.

"I-I... This is... Perfect!" Cheerilee said.

"T-Thank you, Miss Cheerilee." Gohan said.

"I-I have never seen this... Y-You did everything! A plus!" Cheerilee exclaimed.

Gohan was a little surprised.

"Nice job, Gohan." Cheerilee said.

Gohan smiled.

***

Two class periods passed.

Gohan was excellent in Reading.

It was time for show and tell.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon both talked about the stock market, many fillies showed their toys, Applebloom showed the science of an apple, and Scootaloo showed something on wings.

"Okay... Gohan, would you happen to have something for show and tell?" Cheerilee asked.

Gohan sighed. "No." he said.

"Come on, Gohan! Show them your moves!" Applebloom said.

"Moves? What do you mean, Applebloom?" Cheerilee asked.

'No, no no!' Gohan thought.

"He's wearing the heaviest clothes!" Applebloom said.

"What?" Cheerilee asked.

"Show them, Gohan!" Scootaloo said.

"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle said.

"H-Hang on! It's not a big deal!" Gohan said.

"I believe the class wants to see it now." Cheerilee said.

"Yeah!" The class said.

"Sorry, but I don't feel like showing off." Gohan said.

"I think Gohan doesn't want to do show and tell." Cheerilee said.

"Y-Yes, please." Gohan said.

"Awww!" The class said.

"We will ask Gohan another time. It's dismissal, today was a half day. Everypony pack up!" Cheerilee said.

All of the fillies and Gohan got up from their seats, and got ready to go home.

Gohan really carried his books in one arm, while the others had a bag.

***

Everyone was outside, school ended.

All of the fillies cornered Gohan.

"Show us your weighted clothing!" The fillies yelled.

"Please, let me go home." Gohan said.

"Hey! There he is!" A pony shouted. She was holding a camera, and a notepad.

"Oh no..." Gohan said.

She ran at Gohan. "Mr. Gohan, how did-"

Gohan flew away.

This left all of the fillies and two adults dumbfounded.

A crowd of news reporter pegasi were flying behind Gohan.

"Mr. Gohan!" One yelled.

"Thanks, Krillin." Gohan muttered.

He turned around, placing his hands close to the center of his face with his fingers spread toward his eyes.

"SOLAR FLARE!" He yelled, flashing a blinding light at the pegasi, fillies and everypony facing him.

Gohan quickly flew away, aiming for Twilight's Treehouse.

***

A loud knock on Twilight's door caused Spike to nearly fall off his ladder.

He opened the door to see Gohan rushing in.

"Gohan? Why-" "Close the door!" Gohan interrupted.

Spike did that. "Why are you here?" He asked.

"My worst fear has come true, I'm becoming the center of attention!" Gohan said.

"I guess that's why you were being demonized by some newspapers." Spike said, handing Gohan an issue for today.

Gohan read the headline: 'Alien Refuses Interview, Suspected of World Dominaton'

Gohan's face quickly turned pale.

"It says: 'Defeating Discord has given us the lead that he's capable of world domination. Him and his somehow late father have made an appearance, trying to hide the fact he did this. We believe that the princesses must be informed at once. Many ponies have already protested in Canterlot, Manehattan and Hoofington. Many have defended this monster, and now violence has broke out in these cities.' I-I'm causing violence!" Gohan said.

"Oh man, Twilight!" Spike yelled.

Twilight came trotting down the stairs. "What is it Spike? Oh Gohan, why are you here?" She asked.

Gohan showed Twilight the newspaper. "And my worst fear just came true." He said.

"Oh yeah, I read that. I've sent a letter to Princess Celestia, and she wrote back voicing her support for you." Twilight said.

"That, and now everyone knows about me! I had to blind them to avoid everyone!" Gohan said.

"Was that the blinding flash of light?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, a friend taught me it. The princess already told me she can't do anything about the media wanting an interview, and now people are telling everyone about me!" Gohan said.

"I-I will try to summon the princess for this, I can see how you're stressing out over this." Twilight said.

Spike grabbed a quill and a scroll. "I'm ready." He said.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

Gohan is stressing out over all of the fame and conflicts he caused. He cannot remain this way, as he has resorted to blindness to avoid other ponies. As you know already, many ponies despise him, and are making rash judgements about him. We request that you come to Ponyville and make changes, as he cannot fare well as of now.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle" Twilight said.

"Okay." Spike said, blowing a fire that sent the message away.

"She said she couldn't do anything when I came..." Gohan said.

"Don't worry, the princess will think of something." Twilight said.

***

Celestia read Twilight's letter.

She wrote a letter back.

"Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Princess Luna and I will arrive at Ponyville tonight to deliver a message. We will have a plan for Gohan, and I assure you he will most likely enjoy it. Currently, I have changed the minds of everypony in Canterlot, and must travel across Equestria to do the same for everypony.

Sincerely, Luna says Hi, Love Ya, Best of wishes, and everything,

Princess Celestia"

She wrote.

"Are you sure Gohan will like this change?" Celestia asked.

"I'm definitely sure Gohan will love this." Goku said, from Other World.

"Alright, then." Celestia said with a smile.

Celestia used her magic to send the message.

***

"A plan? She has a plan for me?" Gohan asked.

"Yes, she says you will like it... The other good thing is, she's fixing the problem about ponies hating you." Twilight said.

Gohan sighed in relief. "That's a relief." He said.

"You might as well stay here until then. But feeding you is going to be a problem." Twilight said.

"I fasted yesterday, but this morning I ate all the crops I picked. I'll just wait for food tonight." Gohan said.

"Alright then, make yourself at home for a while." Twilight said.
