As the whistle blew Goku, Raditz and the rest of the students including Sunset turned to the person that blew the whistle. It was a elder man with a bald head red skin and golden eyes. He was wearing a grey pe shirt and camo pants. “Alright all you young men and women today you all have to do the physical test to see if you all are healthy and fit. We will start with sprints. Follow me.” The older man said as he led the class outside.

Goku and Raditz followed the class seeming confident and ready. “Hey Raditz what do you think your time will be?” Goku asked as he looked around the class seeing the same people and a few new ones

Raditz smirked at Goku and spoke, “Oh Kakarot I know I will be at least the best so just relax and let me impress everyone.” Raditz said as he looked ahead and saw the class going to a football field.

As the class gathered around they looked at one another and then at the teacher. “Okay class we will do a one lap at your full speed. After that we will move on to the sit ups, you will do as many as you can in a minute, then push ups, you will do 30, and finally we will go to the weight room to do deadlifts. Then you are free to mess around for the remainder of the time.” The teacher said as the class seemed to understand and Goku and Raditz looked at one another knowing this will be fairly easy.

As the students got to their usual groups as Goku and Raditz were the odd ones out. “So when do you think we will start?” Goku asked as he looked at the teacher from a distance getting the stopwatch ready and his papers ready

Before Raditz could respond the teacher blew his whistle and the old man spoke, “first group get on the track and get ready.” The old man said as he loaded his gun.

As a few people went to the ready line, Goku waited for his turn as Raditz was able to go first. As Raditz got ready he smiled as he looked at his brother with a cocky grin. Raditz mouthed, “Watch this” And when the gun was shot he Raditz pushed off.

Goku looked around quickly and noticed a hose. The hose laid across the running track and Goku got an idea.

As he looked around he quickly walked to the hose waiting to make sure no one was watching and then waited for Raditz

As Raditz ran hard and fast toward the end Goku pulled the hose making it levitate off the ground. Raditz didn’t have enough time as he tripped over the hose and rolled to his side. “Agh Damn it!” Raditz grunted under his mouth

As Goku used his speed to disappear and appear back to where he was he saw Raditz get up and start to jog as Raditz stared at Goku with an understanding look and nodded as he acted winded and slowly got past the finish line.

The coach blew his whistle and the students cheered at Raditz as he stood shocked at the act. Never before had Raditz ever gotten an appreciation from anyone other than his mother, not even his father was impressed. But here it seemed as everyone loved what he did . Raditz got his macho mood back and grinned. “Thank you thank you it was nothing.” Raditz would say as some guys asked him how he got so strong and fast.

Goku watched as he smiled but felt a tap on his shoulder. “Hm?” Goku said as he turned around to see Rainbow Dash looking at him with a knowing expression.

“How did you do that?” Rainbow asked Goku as she put her hands on her hips and looked at him. Goku looked around and then went back to the Rainbow.

“Um me? I didn’t do anything.” Goku responds as the Rainbow haired girl walked closer to him and pointed her finger at him

“Yeah you. I saw you near the hose and then when Raditz tumbled you appeared back in the middle of the class. How did you move so fast that we didn’t see you?” Rainbow asked again as Goku looked around for someone or something to help him.

Sunset was watching the two crazy haired kids as Flash got her attention. “Alright Sunset it’s my turn. It’s not hard at all to just get in the zone and run. Alright?” Flash said as Sunset just kept staring at Goku and Raditz

“Uh Huh I will.” Was all that Sunset responded with. Flash didn’t give much attention as he started to walk to the line and started to get ready.

Before Rainbow could question Goku more, a whistle blew again as the teacher pulled it out of his mouth. “Alright first group move on to the sit ups, next group line up!” He yelled out as he whistled again

Goku saw this and quickly jumped on the escape, “oh sorry I got to run now. See ya around!” He ran and waved as he turned and smiled and then got to the line.

As Goku saw the kids stretching and getting ready he started to stretch his usual. Goku stretched his right leg as he started to bounce a bit putting more pressure on his right leg and then he switched doing the same to his left leg. He then stood up straight and started to bounce on his feet as if he was jumping a rope, he would then roll his arm around and then roll his head. With that he got into his fighting stance ready to run. Flash looked at this a bit confused at this action but shrugged and got ready. As the whistle blew Goku went in a nice slow jog as everyone else started to run.

As Raditz saw Goku being left in the dust Raditz yelled out, “COME ON KAKAROT GO!” Goku turned to see Raditz cheering him on as he was in a happier mood, not wanting to make Raditz angry he started to push his body and started to run. Slowly he passed the students one by one not wanting to cause any more attention to himself. As he ran and caught up to the first place runner, Flash sentry, Goku looked at him and smiled as he ran past Flash.

Flash started to sprint to try to catch up with Goku but in the end Goku finished first, as the students cheered Rainbow Dash stared at Goku as he acted as if he was out of breath. “I don't know something is off with these two.” Rainbow said as Applejack, and Rarity looked at Rainbow

“Now why do ya say that?” Applejack asked as she looked at Rainbow. Rainbow Dash turned to AppleJack and Rarity with a “really?” Expression.

“Huh? Um I will explain later at lunch we got to catch up with those two kids, come on you two!” Rainbow shouted to them as she took off to the line

Rarity did as Rainbow said as she started to follow and noticed Applejack standing there with her eyes opened in fear as she seemed to be worried, “oh no, does Rainbow like ‘im? But that’s not fair… what should I do?” Applejack thought quietly in her mind as Rarity walked to her and bumped her shoulder.

“Sorry Applejack, I noticed you were standing there in utter shock, are you okay darling?” Rarity asked as Applejack nodded and slowly followed Rainbow

As Raditz was doing his push ups he seemed to easily go up and down, as Goku caught up to Raditz he started right next to him, “so Kakarot I noticed that you were going easy on the human, how could you!” Raditz said as Goku was kinda shocked at this action

“Um Raditz you do know we can’t let ourselves show more than little power at a time, I thought I was doing good.” Goku replies as Raditz stopped and sat looking at Goku.

“Hmm, well Kakarot I do have to say you were showing mercy, maybe that’s where our parents taught us differently, sorry. I just don’t like to see anyone I have lost…” Raditz said as Goku put his hand on his older brothers shoulder

“Don’t worry about it Raditz, for all I know we are in this together, if we like it or not.” Goku said with a smile as Raditz looked at him.

As Flash walked to the fence where Sunset was, he smiled and waved to get her attention. As Sunset walked over to him. “So we just run in a circle right?” Sunset asked.

Flash nodded as he was looking over to Goku and Sunset seemed to notice this. “Are you jealous he won?” Sunset chuckled as Flash looked at her and quickly shook his head

“It’s not that, it’s just, he was so fast, I couldn’t keep up. But his energy came from nowhere; it was just like that!” Flash said as he snapped his fingers.

Sunset seemed to understand as they all heard the whistle and the next runners got ready. “Hey Sunset before you go remember take it easy the first day and don’t push it too hard you will hurt later.” Flash said as he put his hand out for a high five. Sunset shimmer smiled and took it.

As Raditz and Goku heard the whistle they turned to the group of runners, Rainbow Dash stretched her arms and sides as Applejack was already ready, as for Rarity she was just looking at a mirror. “Who do you think would win Rainbow or Applejack?” One kid said.

“Everyone knows Rainbow Dash! Come on!” Another kid said as they started to cheer for their victory. Before the coach blew his whistle, Applejack seemed to notice Raditz looking at the runners.

“Time our ah need something!” Applejack shouted as she quickly ran to the two saiyans and she gave her attention to Raditz.

“Excuse me, mister, ah need someone to hold mah hat, would ya be able to hold it for me?” Applejack asked as her face started to turn bright red.

Before Raditz could respond Goku nodded, “of course he can you do have to do your best and your hat can just easily come off, come on Raditz take it.” Goku said as Raditz looked at him and rolled his eyes taking the hat.

Applejack smiled and said thanks as she ran back to the starting line. “Kakarot why the hell did you tell her yes?” Raditz asked as he turned to Goku and Goku looked at him confused.

“The hat would have made it harder for her to win if she chose to keep it on her head. It’s nicer if we took it so she can focus on the race.” Goku said as Raditz thought about it and nodded.

As Applejack got back to the starting line Rainbow was shocked, “Applejack, you gave your hat to a man you barely know!” Rainbow said as Applejack nodded and smiled.

The whistle blew as Applejack took off, as Rainbow Dash who was still shocked she stumbled a bit and then started to run. Rarity seemed to just have noticed the whistle being blown as she started to jog after the two as the coach rolled his eyes and sighed. Goku and Raditz watched as they saw how fast Applejack was and how fast Rainbow was catching up.

As Applejack kept running with all she could she seemed to smile as her small plan worked, “Ah was able to kill two birds with one stone, ah was able to show Raditz mah trust and affection for him even though it was small, and with that action it seemed to surprise Rainbow so much she messed up on her start. Ah just need to keep running!” Applejack thought as she started to turn the corner of the course and run straight.

Raditz and Goku seemed to see how fast Rainbow and Applejack were, “So Raditz, still think humans are soft and weak?” Goku asked as Raditz scoffed and punched Goku's arm softly.

“Kinda still yes. I mean if we punched one of them I think they would be wounded badly. I have been proven wrong before though.” Raditz said as Applejack had run past them, but then Rainbow Dash pasted them.

The students cheered as they wanted their person they betted on to win, “GO RAINBOW DASH!” A group yelled

“GO APPLEJACK!” Yelled another group as the two girls got closer to the finish line. As Rainbow had finally caught up to Applejack she seemed to have used all of her energy she still ran hard.

H-How! How did she catch up!” Applejack thought as she started to push faster wanting to beat Rainbow. As she ran pushing her body to the limit Rainbow quickly grabbed onto Applejack's hair and together they fell.

As Applejack and Rainbow Dash fell Applejack threw a punch as Rainbow tried to knee Applejack. They rolled and rolled until they passed the finish line. As Goku and Raditz saw this the kids all looked in worry too see who actually won.

As the two girls were pulled apart by the coach, Rainbow looked around and saw the kids had their phones out recording. “Did anyone catch who won!” Rainbow asked out loud as the coach sighed and rolled his eyes as if he had seen these actions before

“Well if you mean who won in that fight I might have to say Applejack but in the race, you Rainbow.” The coach responded as he seemed to write their times down.

Rainbow Dash got up then threw a fist to the air as she cheered on her victory. “Wait jus' a second, how did Rainbow win? she was behind me!” Applejack asked as the other runners finally finished behind them, all except for Rarity who was taking her sweet time.

“Well when you two fell she was pushed ahead by the two of you trying to wrestle. You accidentally had given Rainbow a boost.” The coach responded as Applejack heard all of his words and nodded.

Her expression seemed to sadden a bit as she got up and started to walk to the push ups. Some kids said, “good job”, or “next time you will win for sure” but Applejack just ignored them all as she seemed to not believe anyone.

“Hey um what’s your name! Apple… AppleJess? No Applejack! Wait up.” Raditz said as he walked to Applejack with her hat in his hands.

“P-pardon?” Applejack said as she turned to him, her face slowly smiled as she saw him but then she saw her hat.

“Here, I am sure this is yours correct?” Raditz said as he handed her the cowboy hat. She took it and then looked up at him her smile genuine and small

Raditz felt something within him, it was something warm and weird as he could not remember this feeling ever before in his life. “Well there you go… I think you got so disappointed that you almost forgot it” Raditz said as he was quiet again.

“Thank you, Raditz, this hat means a lot ta me, thank ya for protecting it. I knew you wouldn’t let anything happen to it.” Applejack said as she put her hat on and adjusted it.

As Raditz saw this he nodded, “yeah It was literally no problem, one of the easiest things I have protected.” Raditz boasted as he smiled. As he saw her chuckle a bit. “Listen I just wanted to say your race was a good one. You were first and you kept first till the end. I have to say that is an extraordinary thing to do for a being of your type.” Raditz said being honest and Applejack seemed to believe it. She felt a bit offended for a second on the “being of your type.” But she didn’t mind it much

“But I still gone up in smoke in the race, I didn’t do good enough.” Applejack responder as Raditz heard her words and thought. He looked over to Goku who was doing some sort of push up challenge with a group of guys and with Flash who was trying to see who would do the most.

As Raditz returned his view on Applejack he still felt the odd feeling within him. “What the hell is going on with me. I am a saiyan. I shouldn’t be talking to such a low life… but…” Raditz thought as he looked at Applejack and his face started to sweat a small bit.

“Well if you want we can do the rest of these activists together, I can get you stronger and you can become better than that Rainbowed hair girl.” Raditz said as he chalked up the sweat from being in the sun too long, though that was a lie to himself.

Applejack looked at Raditz with shock and then happiness. “Ya would train with me so I can become stronger? but why? I am sure I would hold ya back.” Applejack said as she looked at Raditz seeing that he was as muscular as Big Mac and then at the group of teens behind him. She noticed that him and his brother seemed strong as Big Mac. “And don’t ya and your brother train with one another?” Applejack asked as Raditz looked over to his brother again seeing that the other guys around were slowly getting tired while Goku kept pushing up and down as if it was nothing.

“First off I doubt you would be holding me back. I will get you as strong as I am in no time. Or at least as strong as mother…” Raditz lied a bit, as Applejack was able to read it off his face and tone, she felt a bit guilty as is but then he continued on the other part, “And, no not really we trained on different planet- cities! Different cities. I trained in the streets, he trained in a dojo or something. I don’t know. I just know that Kakarot can train by himself now and then, And plus he seems to be having fun.” Raditz said as Applejack nodded.

“So yeah, if you want to join me and Kakarot on our competition feel free to do so.” Raditz said as he walked to the crew and grabbed Goku and lifted him up.

“H-hey! Raditz! I was doing some push ups. What’s the big deal?” Goku asked as Raditz ser him down and smiled

“You am me, push up competition then, sit up competition and finally deadlift competition, you in?” Raditz said as Goku looked at him a bit surprised and then nodded.

As Goku and Raditz got in the position Applejack had walked over to check it out. She then smiled and got in the same position with them to the right of Raditz. “Ya guys mahnd ifin' I join in with ya? I am stronger than I look.” Applejack said as Raditz smiled and Goku nodded

“Well I would like to go against the most kids I can.” Goku said as he let her into the competition. As Goku heard someone to his left get to the push up formation he saw it was Flash sentry.

“I hope you don’t mind me entering either. Even though I am not as ripped as you all I still can hold out a bit.” Flash explained as Goku nodded and smiled.

“Once the coach blows the whistle for the runners we start. Once a full minute has passed we end and see the score keep track of your own score. Got it?” Raditz said as Applejack nodded and flash got ready. Goku smiled to see the new people that could be future friends.

As they waited and the other students surrounded them the silence was deafening as then out of nowhere, the whistle sound shot into the air as Goku and Raditz started. Applejack started a nano second before the two saiyans and Flash had started a full second after applejack.

As the kids all cheered to see who would win, as Goku and Radtiz had gotten to 10 and kept going Applejack was slowly moving faster going to 9 as Flash had gotten to 8.

As the time passed 15 seconds they all kept going but slowly Flash started to slow down. As flash had gotten to 13 he started to feel his arms sore up as Goku, Raditz and Applejack kept going. Goku hit 17 as Raditz was keeping up with them. Applejack was always one push up behind.

As Goku was focusing on doing the push ups he sensed something to his left. It was flash. Goku turned his head to see what was going on and noticed that Flash was now going faster, now from nowhere Flash had gotten a energy boost as he pushed up and then went down. Though he was behind he somehow started to move up a bit faster. Seeing this Goku started to push it a bit more, wanting to get Flash to do the same only making Raditz go faster as he thought Goku was trying to show off. Applejack was the only one keeping her pace as she didn’t want to burn out. Goku got 20 as Raditz got 21, Applejack now got to 18 as Raditz and Goku seemed to have focused on one another and tried to best each other. Flash had gotten to 17 as he and Applejack seemed to be neck and neck.

30 seconds have passed as the group kept going, Raditz pushed up and down with all he could as Goku had gotten past Raditz. It seemed that Goku and Raditz both have 27. Applejack was now in last place with 23 as Flash had passed her and got to 25.

It seemed close as Goku and Raditz had been going all out against one another and Flash had kept trying to catch up. Inside Applejack's mind she was counting the seconds that have gone by. “37, 38, 39, 40!” Applejack thought as she now started to push her arms.

Applejack started to go up and down faster as Raditz and Goku saw this, Flash had started to feel the burn out as he slowed down way too fast and was out of the count, he had hit 33 push ups. He sat back and looked at the other contestants of this little makeup challenge and saw how strong they were still going.

After 5 seconds, Applejack had finally hit 35 and kept going knowing how little time she had to try to get the most in. Raditz had kept pushing to be the winner but something within Goku made Goku stronger, Goku was now on 38 as Raditz got to 36.

As the last few seconds started to clock down the trio kept going, wanting to be the best. More and more students seemed to want to know what was going on as the group was now bigger and the Coach of the class had walked toward the group. As his mouth dropped to see that they were going all out Goku and Raditz had seemed to go more and more as Applejack was using a special breathing technique to keep going without getting winded.

At last the final seconds clocked down. The group around them counted together, “FIVE! FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE!” The kids yelled as the group finally stopped. Applejack breathing heavily as Raditz and Goku have little sweat drops on their heads.

“Hey Kakarot what did you get?” Raditz asked laying on the ground to relax and recover any energy he lost as for Goku he sat down on the ground as he remembered his number

“I got 54, and you Raditz?” Goku asked as Applejack took her hat off and started to use it as a fan to cool herself down.

“I got… 55! Take that Kakarot!” Raditz said as he put a fist up to the air and chuckled. Applejack watching this and Goku smiling.

Goku turned to Applejack and nodded his head up. “And you miss… um sorry I don’t quite know your name.” Goku said as Applejack smiled to see that Raditz's brother wasn’t bothered by her.

“I gawt 47 it’s not much compared ta ya two but it’s still a good number in my book.” Applejack said as she put a thumbs up. “And how about ya Flash what done ya get?” Applejack asked as Goku, Raditz and Applejack looked at Flash.

As Flash looked up and smiled he turned red as he was now embarrassed at his score. “Well you see I just got 33, I was not even close to beating you three, you three are amazing!” Flash said as he sat back and Goku smiled.

“You're not bad yourself but I did notice you sacrifice breathing for speed. Your body won’t work too much if you don’t take the right amounts of breath. Not only that but I can tell you're strong but it takes time to get to where we are.” Goku said as he wanted to give tips to Flash as he saw him as a new friend.

As Raditz sat up he looked to Flash as well, “not only that but you must stay focused, find your own place and stay there no matter what.” Raditz said as Flash understood a bit.

The four stayed sitting for a bit as the group left and then Applejack got up. “Come awn now, we still got sit ups and deadlifts to do. Ahm ready ta kick ya guys butt this time.” Applejack said excitedly.

Goku was first up as Raditz did a roll backwards and got on his feet with the movementum of the roll as Flash had gotten up from resting a bit already.

As the four of them got to the grass they waited for the coach to blow the whistle as the coach was just staring in shock on how fast these kids were. “Excuse me? We kinda want to start, can you blow your whistle already?” Raditz asked as the coach was knocked back into reality and nodded. He grabbed his whistle and blew into it.

As Goku had his hands behind his head helping him sit up, Raditz put his hands in a x shape on his chest, Flash had done the same as Goku as Applejack had them behind her head but she took it a extra step by touching her elbow with the opposite knee every time she went up.

The four started to go at it as Flash seemed to be fine with sit ups. 9 seconds have passed as Goku hit 8 and Raditz hit 9, while flash and Applejack were both at 7. The race was on.

The seconds went by as Goku started to power up a bit as he tried to catch up with Raditz as he slowly passed him, reaching 15. Raditz hit 15 a nano second after Goku. Applejack and Flash seemed to struggle to get past one another. They were now 20 seconds in the competition.

As the four kept going the crowd seemed to be interested to see who would have the most. Sunset watched from a distance. “Hmm, that’s kinda weird. Why are they excited over a group of kids working out? Must be some human thing.” Sunset said as she thought of her next step.

Raditz had kept going as now they were pushing their little teen bodies limit. Applejack and Flash had both passed 20 as Goku and Raditz had gotten up to 28.

The timer was now at 40 seconds. Slowly the teens around counted down. “20, 19! 18!” Shouted the teens but Goku wasn’t focused on the time but more focused on his score.

Come on, I am at 38 . I think Raditz is at the same. I can’t lose to him this time. Where is my energy boost when I need it!” Goku thought as he did another. Raditz pushed himself as the two brothers didn’t want to lose.

Applejack pushed harder getting to 31 as Flash breathed out on his way down, “33!” As Applejack heard this she got worried not wanting to lose to Flash and be in last as she started to focus more.

15 seconds passed and now they were down to the wire, “FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE! TIME!” A kid with his timer shouted as they all went quiet and the four stopped.

As Goku Raditz and the others layed there Flash took this chance to go first. “I got 28.” Said flash as he was breathing hard.

Applejack sat up in confusion as she could have swore she heard him say 33. “Wait I could 'have sworn ya said 33 a few seconds ago why done it Gone down?” Applejack said as Flash smiled

“Well you see Applejack, I kinda knew you were my opponent. Since we can’t even catch up with them I wanted to make you push yourself out so I can have a small fighting chance to win so during all the things going on through your head I chose to add a bit more stress to make you tire yourself out. Guess it still wasn’t enough that I got you so tired to let me win. Heh…” flash explained as he shrugged.

As Applejack realized that that was a bluff she smiled at Flash, “Well perhaps another day ya can beat me. I gawt 40. Ah done started ta push myself whe-yn ya said 33. Gave me a spook, that was a smart move

As Flash nodded, Raditz spoke up, “ I got 43, and you Kakarot what did you get?” Raditz asked, a bit worried. Goku put his fist to the sky as he laughed a bit.

“I got 50! yes! I won!” Goku cheered as the others around him looked shocked.

“B-but, but how!” Flash asked as Goku sat up and looked at the others.

“I… I don’t know I just got this energy boost. I guess I just didn’t want to lose to my brother again.” Goku said as Raditz scoffed and looked at the sky. Inside though he felt pride.

As Raditz got up first this time he looked around and saw the other kids doing their own work outs and push ups. “It seems we may have finished early.” Raditz said as Goku joined him.

“Yeah no kidding. I guess that gives us free time for a bit. What do you want to do?” Goku asked the others.

Flash got up and started to walk away. “my friends are doing their work outs I will go help them, if you ever want to train just come by and ask.” Flash said as Goku waved and gave a thumbs up.

Applejack looked at Goku and Raditz and grabbed Raditz’s arm caringly, “do ya mind if we Go talk over there?” Applejack asked as Raditz looked and nodded.

“Kakarot me and Applejack will be here if you need something okay.” Raditz called out to his brother as Goku nodded and sat down.

As Goku watched his brother walk away with Applejack he smiled to himself knowing he should give Raditz some time.

As Raditz and Applejack walked out to talk more Rainbow and Rarity saw this from a distance as Rainbow seemed a bit worried for Applejack, “Rainbow Dash are you okay? Usually by now you let your excitement of winning show off now. What’s wrong.” Rarity asked as Rainbow turned to Rarity with fear on her face.

“AJ is in danger Rarity! That’s what’s wrong! That man over there he isn’t normal.” Rainbow said as she pointed at Raditz. As Raditz scratched his nose Rarity didn’t see how he was a threat to Applejack. Sure he was a bit muscular, and a bit taller than the normal teen male, but in all reality he seemed like any other kid with freakishly long hair.

“Darling don’t you think you are a bit paranoid. I mean seriously, wouldn’t he have attacked Applejack by now if he was a threat?” Rarity asked as Rainbow seemed to know the answer.

“No, he wants to wait till they are alone then, and only then would he strike.” Rainbow said as she clenched her fist. Nearby was a tired Sunset who just finished her lap. As she heard this talk coming from Rainbow she started to think.

“I am sorry Rainbow but I doubt he is a bad guy. Sure he looks tired of everyone, but he actually seems to be enjoying talking to Applejack. Not only that but she seems happy too and his younger brother Goku seems to be very friendly, a bit dumb and childish but he seems nice.” Rarity said as Rainbow looked confused.

“Wait I thought his name was Kakarot.” Rainbow said as Rarity shook her head

“No no no I am sure they call him Goku. Or at least that’s what a few people call him… maybe we should ask them.” Rarity said as she was starting to walk to Goku.

Rainbow grabbed Rarity's arm and stopped her, “hey no that’s a horrible idea, we need to keep our distance and get AJ to safety.” Rainbow said as she pulled Rarity back.

“Rainbow Dash! You can’t really be telling me you're afraid of two guys. Can you.” Rarity asked as Rainbow shook her head.

“No I’m not afraid of no one but they are different. I don’t know what but they are not normal. I mean look at their hair, and how tall that Raditz is, not only that but I never seen him take off his belt. I mean he even wears it with his work out clothes isn't that strange?” Rainbow pointed out as Sunset finally got a plan together.

As Rarity was thinking, Sunset boosted her confidence with her past lies and got ready for the worst to come. Before Rarity could respond to Rainbows points Sunset tapped Rainbows shoulder. “Excuse me, but I think I can agree with you. They aren't normal.” Sunset started as Rainbow turned and her eyes went wide as she looked to Rarity with a “SEE!” Expression.

“Yes! I got her on the hook now time to reel her in with fear. I will give out small lies about them being good for their own sake and then I will tell her the major lie. That they just want to get power and use it against anyone to turn friends into enemies. It seems that this school has a lot of friends. The second the other students hear that. No one will want to be even near them. Not only that but I can tell that those two brothers have some troubled history.” Sunset thought to herself as she remembered seeing the two saiyans in the portal. Goku was holding Raditz back for a blast to enter them both and kill them.

“Well if you don’t mind could you tell us? I don’t want my friends to get hurt and one of them is already talking to them.” Rainbow said as she was waiting and Rarity stepped in.

“Wait, you're new to this school, correct?” Rarity asked as Sunset nodded a bit worried. “Then how would you know who they are or how their personalities are?” Rarity asked.

Rainbow looked at Rarity and then at Sunset, “yeah how would we know that you're not just trying to slander their names huh?” Rainbow asked a bit unsure now

“No! I had her! Damn it… okay I can save this just lie and work it up, so this girl Rarity thinks before acting sometimes but Rainbow Dash would jump up if her friends are in trouble. Interesting I can use that later.” Sunset thought as she looked at Goku and saw how he is friendly to everyone. Sunset got an idea. “Well I was at the elementary school they were in. In the first months they were okay but once the year ended all of my friends, all of the people in the school… we all started to distrust one another and my friends left me. That’s why I left. I wanted a new life and my parents let me move out. That’s how I know they are bad news…” Sunset said as she played the victim and started to cry a bit to add onto effect.

Rarity and Rainbow both became quiet as they didn’t want to make her cry more. “Sorry darling I didn’t know they hurt you so bad.” Rarity said as Rainbow nodded.

“It’s fine it happened a long time ago and I don’t want the same thing to happen here, this is a nice school.” Sunset said as Rainbow looked a bit worried for Applejack. “So that girl over there must be her friend. That could be a bad thing if she starts to hang out with the two of them.” Sunset thought as she was quiet and watched.

Rainbow turned to Sunset and asked, “so what do you know about them?” Sunset turned to rainbow and wiped the fake tears away.

“They will first act good and kind to others, making themselves dumb and confused of the world as if they are newborns. Once they get a lot of people as their friends they will then spread rumors and lies on friends making the friends hate one another, never to speak to each other again. That’s how they take over.” Sunset said as Rainbow and Rarity gasped.

Rainbow quickly started to walk to Applejack and Raditz as she seemed to be determined to save her friend before any harm came to her. Rarity followed suit as Sunset smiled evilly as she did a small laugh. “Yes! I got them. I will need to tell a few more and it will spread like wildfires.” Sunset thought as she walked to the benches.

As Applejack and Raditz had been talking Applejack really wanted to become stronger and faster than Rainbow but didn’t know where she would have to meet him. “So where would we meet ifin' we wanna train together?” Applejack asked as she saw rainbow and Rarity walking toward them. Not thinking much of it she turned to Raditz again.

Raditz thought about it as he didn’t want to bring her to his “home”. But he didn’t know any other place, “in all honestly I don’t know do you know a place?” Raditz asked Applejack as she looked to the sky thinking.

“I mean if it’s alright with you. I don’t want to bother you at any time and if Kakarot needs something or I need to do something I don’t want to leave you hanging, you know?” Raditz said as he stumbled a bit with his words

Applejack giggled at his stumbling as she continued to think, “Hmm how about mah house, I live at a farm of apple trees and we can go deep into 'em an train or we can train in the barn.” Applejack said as Raditz nodded.

“Sure your house sounds good. Where is it?” Raditz asked as Applejack was about to say something but a hand was placed on her mouth.

“Hey Applejack we need to do our push ups. Come on And help us!” Rainbow said as she kept her hand on Applejack's mouth. As Rainbow Dash started to push Applejack aside from Raditz he looked a bit confused as he didn’t know what just happened.

“H-hey I still don’t know your address!” Raditz shouted as Rainbow looked at Applejack in shock again as Applejack moved her head from Rainbows hand.

Applejack was just about to say something but Rarity had stepped between the two. “Darling we need to talk like right now. Come on, follow Rainbow.” Rarity whispered as they got Applejack away from Raditz.

Raditz stood there quietly as he stared at the trio. “Should I go after them… I mean if I do what’s the worst thing that could happen they attack me? But I doubt they are even strong enough to beat me… yet again i am in this child body. So maybe I should just wait for Applejack to return. Wait what the hell am I saying I am Raditz, one of the last Saiyans I should not be trying to hang out with any of these wimps. I should be trying to get back to my world. And… and then what let Vegeta kill me? Oh god why am I in this problem…” Raditz thought as he was getting angrier.

“Hey Raditz!” Shouted Goku from the group. “I want to see who can last longer doing a one hand push up come on!” Goku said as he put his left arm to his back and the right arm strong on the ground.

The students around him all whispered or started to murmur on how strong Goku was not even they can do anything close to that and Goku just seemed to barely sweat.

As Raditz looked at Goku and remembered Vegeta and the emperor, Frieza. He thought for a while. “Can vegeta even get to this planet… should… should I tell Kakarot… I probably shouldn’t even be getting close to him. He might become my downfall… but that power this morning. He might be strong enough to beat Vegeta… but I need more proof that he is stronger than I once thought…” Raditz thought as he got a plan set and walked to the group. “Alright brother you want to test me out? Fine let’s see who is the strongest!” Raditz said as he got to the ground and as the kids watched they both got on one hand and started the push ups.

As Applejack was released from Rainbows and Rarity’s hold she seemed upset as she tried to hold it in, “What in tarnation do you two thihnk you are doing? ah was talking to him and y’all start to drag me away? Ya best have a great explanation!” Applejack said as the anger was slowly getting out.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash looked at one another as Rainbow steps up and explains, “well you see AJ, we just saved our friendship. You don’t need to thank me, I know you're grateful.” Rainbow said in her cocky attitude.

Applejack didn’t seem pleased with this answer, “Yall got five seconds ta tell me what the hay she is jawing about before I git angry at ya both.” Applejack responded as Rarity brings Rainbow back and steps to Applejack.

“Applejack darling, I don’t know what connections you have with that man but we must warn you, they are not who they seem to be. They are manipulative people that act innocent until they turn your own friends against you. I can not stress this enough that it would be safer if you didn’t get too close to them.” Rarity explained as Applejack listened and calmed down to think straight.

“So ya both took me away because they are manipulative? They seem so nice though. And how did you get this information?” Applejack asked as Rainbow thought.

“I didn’t catch her name but she said she was in their old school and by the end of the year they had all of their friends fighting one another. You got to believe us.” Rainbow said as Applejack read her expression.

As Applejack was trying to see any signs of lying she sighed as she found none. Meaning that Rainbow told the truth. “I-I didn't know… I guess not everyone is how they seem.” Applejack said as Rainbow wanted to make sure Applejack was 100% on her side.

“Did you see any signs of lying or feel them hiding something while you talked to them?” Rainbow asked as Applejack remembered as she nodded.

“Ther keepin' a secret from everyone except from one another it seems but maybe it’s a good reason or even personal?” Applejack said trying to reason with Rarity and Rainbow Dash.

“No AJ they are hiding the fact of their messed up plan. If I was you I would not get anywhere close to the two of them. It’s just bad news.” Rainbow Dash said as she looked at Applejack.

Applejack looked at Raditz as she didn’t know what too choose. If this is true then Raditz is a bad person to even talk too. But if it’s all lies then she would be hurting someone that seems like he needs more friends.

Applejack looked back at Rainbow, and Rarity as she sighed and stood her ground. “Sorry about this girls, but i think that’s all hack, I am sure those two guys ahr kinda and could become good.” Applejack said as Rainbow and Rarity stared in shock that Applejack would say and do this.

Applejack saw their expression as she thought of a way to show them that she is still their friend. “Look ifin' what ya said is true, ah will come back ta ya and tell ya all but I still your partner, and I won’t let anyone change that in the world. We have been through thick and thin. So don’t worry much for me, not only that but I can handle myself fine.” Applejack said as Rarity and Rainbow nodded.

To make her friends rest easier Applejack walked To them and brought them in for a hug. As they hesitated at first they soon all hugged one another. As Sunset saw this she stayed quiet. “Hmm, perhaps Applejack could be a problem. She didn’t want to leave Raditz alone, and not only that but she didn’t believe that lie. Can she read expressions and lies that well? This could be a problem if so. What should I do…” Sunset thought as she looked at the students around as she thought for her next plan as the group of students behind her were whispering on the lies Sunset had fed them.

As the class was now finished with their outside events they all started to walk inside to do the final event, the deadlift. Raditz looked around for Applejack as he soon spotted her. As he waved to Applejack she looked at him and didn’t wave back. Instead she turned to her friends and acted as if she didn’t see it.

“Huh that’s off… did I say something wrong?” Raditz asked no one in particular as Goku listened.

“Hm? Sorry Raditz I wasn’t paying attention. What did you say?” Goku asked as Raditz looked at Applejack waiting for her to turn around.

“N-nothing… let’s go Kakarot…” Raditz said with a sadden tone in his voice. Goku stared at his older brother as he saw Raditz’s tail slightly droop from its original position.

Goku then looked over to Applejack to see a sad expression on her face. She looked as if she regretted something. “Hm…” thought Goku as he didn’t know what to say or do. Soon he came to the conclusion he would watch both sides to see if he can help and with that he entered the gym once more.
