Gohan was at Capsule Corp in his friend Tights's room, laying on her bed and playing on a handheld gaming device. It was a fighting game and it was pretty fun! Tights on the other hand was sitting at her desk in her room combing through information on recent Capsule Corp on projects. One piece of information caught her eye.
"Hey Gohan, check it out," Tights beckoned him. Gohan placed his handheld device down and strode over to Tights, peering over her shoulder in order to look at the computer.
"What is it Tights?" Gohan asked her, his face colored with curiosity.
Tights scrolled through the page until it showed a picture of a young woman with purple hair turquoise eyes.
"Well, this girl was hired by us to protect a dig site and apparently she's very strong too," Tights said.
Gohan thought for a moment. "So, are you saying that she may be a martial artist too?"
Tights nodded her head. "Yep! And she could be a student of Roshi's too, so maybe she could help you find him."
Gohan smiled brightly at Tights's idea. "Yea, you're right. But uhm, where would she be now?"
Tights took a moment to track down more information on the girl, though she couldn't help but think that she appeared eerily similar to her sister.
"Hmmm....it says here that her name is Bra and that she attends high school not too far from here."
Gohan nodded his head and got dressed in plain clothes, which consisted of a capsule corp jacket with dark pants and beige boots.
"Okay Tights, I'll be back as soon as I can!" Gohan said to her as he ventured off.
Tights smiled and waved before she turned her attention back to her computer monitor. "Bra huh? Why does she remind me of Bulma?"

Gohan arrived at the high school which seemed to have been near the end of the school day as the students were beginning to file out of the building. Some went to their cars, others were picked up by their parents. This made the boy feel a faint sense of longing to remember his own parents, but he quickly shook his head in order to keep those unpleasant thoughts at bay.
The boy began to walk towards the entrance when he was approached by a girl who was rather pretty and wore a gaudy outfit that was decked out with accessories such as buttons and gold jewelry and necklaces.
"Hey little boy, are you lost?" The girl asked him.
Gohan shook his head. "Uhm, n-no. I'm just here to look for my..." He saw a high school girl enter the back seat of her family's car and hug a boy, which could have been her little brother. Quickly Gohan decided to go with that. "...sister! Her name is Bra."
"Oh! I didn't know that Bra had a cute little brother..." The girl said thinking out loud. "Well my name is Ava and I'm one of Bra's friends. I can take her to you if you'd like. She might be at cheer leading practice now."
Gohan nodded his head as he followed Ava to the gymnasium, once they entered she told Gohan to take a seat in the bleachers while she went to Bra and told her that her "little brother" was here to see her.

With a final burst of energy, Bra executed a flawless dismount, landing gracefully on the mat. She took a moment to catch her breath, her heart pounding with a mix of exhilaration and satisfaction. The practice had been demanding, with every move requiring precision and perfect timing. As she looked around the gymnasium, she could see her fellow teammates clapping and offering words of encouragement. Their support meant the world to her, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at their shared accomplishment. Though there was no roaring crowd, the camaraderie and shared dedication made the moment just as meaningful.
As Bra basked in the post-performance glow, her friend Ava approached with a curious expression. "Hey, Bra," Ava said, a hint of excitement in her voice. "Guess what? Your little brother is here to see you!"
Bra's eyes widened in surprise, her mind racing to make sense of Ava's words. Little brother? She didn't have a little brother. Confusion washed over her, and she furrowed her brow as she asked, "What do you mean? I don't have a little brother. You know that."
Ava's eyes widened in realization, mirroring Bra's confusion. "But he said he's here to see you, specifically. He even knows your name," Ava replied, her voice tinged with a mix of intrigue and uncertainty. Bra's curiosity piqued, she followed Ava to where her supposed little brother awaited, eager to uncover the truth behind this unexpected encounter.
As Bra approached the area where her supposed little brother was waiting, she couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity mixed with a touch of apprehension. Her eyes fell upon the young boy, and a jolt of recognition shot through her. The resemblance was striking. The boy bore a striking resemblance to her father's former rival Goku, during his younger days. His unruly black hair and mischievous eyes mirrored Goku's features, causing Bra's heart to skip a beat. She couldn't deny the uncanny resemblance, and a whirlwind of emotions swirled within her. Intrigue, surprise, and a sense of connection flooded her senses as she stood before the boy, unsure of what to make of this unexpected encounter.
Bra's curiosity couldn't be contained any longer. With a determined look in her eyes, she placed her hands on her hips and took a step closer to the boy. In a confident yet inquisitive tone, she asked, "Alright, kid, spill it. Who are you? And why do you look so familiar?" Her voice held a hint of authority, but also a genuine desire to uncover the truth. Bra was known for her straightforward nature, and she wasn't about to let this mystery go unsolved. WC: 444

Gohan awaited patiently at the bottom of the bleachers, kicking his feet anxiously as he sat. He heard bits and pieces of Bra and Ava's conversation, and it honestly made him feel a bit guilty for the trouble and the confusion he caused. When Bra confronted him along side her friend Ava, the boy shrank underneath her gaze. Her eyes were fierce and her gaze was unflinching...it reminded Gohan of how Tights would get whenever she got upset!
"Uhm...I'm sorry for lying, I just really wanted to meet you," Gohan began to say in an apologetic tone, his voice trailing off as he looked down glumly. The boy was always mindful of his manners and he hated lying, tricking, or deceiving people because it made him feel bad but his mind kind of got ahead of him.
He then looked up at Bra and continued to speak. "My name is Gohan, and I came here because my friend Tights told me that you did a job for Capsule Corp and that you're really strong!" Gohan raised his arms to emphasize how strong he figured that Bra was.
"So..I just figured that you might have heard of Master Roshi. I've been looking for him to train under him so that way I can become a martial artist," Gohan admitted to her. "I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble, but this is very important to me."
Gohan's eyes smouldered with determination as he stared into Bra's turquoise irises. Truly, his dream was to become the best martial artist that he could be like his parents were. However, he unfortunately didn't have many memories of their lives. The boy just had vague silhouettes of their faces, and the voice of his mother emphasizing to him to always be a nice, kind, thoughtful and respectful person. He didn't even know why he had a tail! Which would become visible now as it uncoiled from around his waist and sprung upward, swaying to and fro like a metronome.

Bra listened intently to Gohan's explanation, her initial stern expression softening as she saw the sincerity in his eyes. She could sense his genuine passion and longing to become a martial artist, a sentiment she could relate to all too well. As his tail swayed back and forth, a mix of surprise and curiosity washed over her. She hadn't expected to encounter someone with a tail like her father used to have and memories of him flooded her mind. She couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and a connection to her Saiyan heritage. Growing up, she had heard stories about her father's tail, though it had long been gone by the time she was born. Her hands dropped from her hips, and she took a step closer to Gohan, her gaze filled with a mixture of understanding and sympathy. "Gohan, huh?" she said, her tone softening. "You don't have to apologise for wanting to meet me. I understand how important training and finding a mentor can be. And yeah, I've definitely heard of Master Roshi. He's a legendary martial arts master... I've trained with him before."Bra's eyes shifted to Gohan's tail, her curiosity piqued even further. "That tail of yours... it reminds me of something," she mused, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. "But we can talk about that later. Right now, I think we can help each other. I can give you some information about Master Roshi and maybe even help you find him. In return, you can be my new sparring partner." She could sense the boy's energy even now, the amount of power emanating from him unusual for one so small. She extended her hand towards Gohan, a determined smile playing on her lips. "What do you say, Gohan?" Her eyes shimmered with a mixture of admiration and curiosity as she looked at him. In that moment, the connection between them felt deeper than mere chance. She believed that their meeting held significant meaning, and she was eager to embark on another journey of discovery.
Just as Bra was about to close the deal with Gohan, her friend Ava couldn't help but interject with curiosity. She looked at Gohan's tail, her eyes wide with astonishment. "Wait a minute, is that tail real?" Ava asked, unable to contain her curiousity. WC: 385 TWC: 829

When Bra took a took closer to him Gohan's gaze remained steady and true. When he studied the teenager's expression he found that she appeared to have been somewhat sympathetic to him and his plight, which made him feel relieved.
He smiled brightly when she told him that she understood how important it was for him to find a mentor like Roshi, and he was even more excited to hear her confirm that she had trained with the venerable Turtle Hermit before as well. His tail began to wag back and forth to mirror his jubilant expression, and his eyes lit up stars on moonless dark night.
"Of course! I'd be honored to be your sparring partner!" Gohan agreed merrily and eagerly extended his hand out to shake Bra's own. When he did so his sixth sense expanded and he felt the power that she held. He could practically feel the heat emanate off of her in waves and it made Gohan thankful for having met her. After all, it was rare to meet someone who radiated energy like Bra did, yet she seemed so calm and in control as well. Gohan on the other hand had a hard time controlling his power so he sought to have the level of discipline that he sensed within her.
Bra's friend Ava curiously examined Gohan's tail, which made the boy's eyes follow her as she circled him and asked if his tail was real. However, before Gohan could answer, Ava reached her hand out and grabbed his tail, causing the boy's body to seize up completely.
Immediately his grip weakened and his hand slid out of Bra's grasp and he fell forward onto the ground, landing face first and a loud THUD! resonated within the gym. Gohan could hear Ava freak out but any and all background noise was drowned out as he struggled to regain his strength back.
"I..t-tried..t-to..say...." ...don't grab my t-tail. Gohan couldn't finish his thoughts aloud but he tried to push himself back onto his feet, appearing unsteady and would probably need some help.
