Hello everybody! This story is a strange idea I had long ago and am now tenativly posting. I realize that it is a strange idea so I'll only post more if I get reviews telling me that people like it.

I do not own Dragon Ball Z or The Wonderful Wizard of Oz


Chapter 1: Gohan meets Dorothy

"Explain it to me one more time, please."

"Alright Dende; my mother is going to have a baby. She's pregnant."

Gohan had been really excited when he came to the lookout with this information but right now he was feeling simply frustrated. The Namekian people had no concept of gender and laid eggs asexually through their mouths. This meant that Gohan had to explain the whole concept of pregnancy while Piccolo and Mr. Popo stood uselessly off to the side.

"Perhaps Mr. Popo should…"

"Nah" Piccolo cut him off "Gohan seems to be doing just fine on his own."

During this exchange Gohan had explained it all once again. Dende looked grossed out but reassured Gohan that he had the gist. He was glad; he had purposely waited to tell Dende last because he had known this conversation was coming and he hadn't enjoyed it one bit.

"So are you excited?"

"About being a brother? You bet I am!"

Piccolo chimed in "You'll make a great one kid."

"Mr. Popo agrees!"

Gohan blushed and said "Oh stop it guys. Look I need to be getting back home; I just wanted to tell you the good news."

Everyone said their farewells and Gohan dove off of the lookout. He caught himself just above Korin Tower and flew in the direction of Mt. Paozu. He clouds around him began to darken and the air felt strange. The farther he went the darker the sky became so in the end he decided to land, at least for a while, and see what the weather was going to do. He touched down on a small farm and was immediately accosted by a small black dog. The yapping little creature caught him by surprise and he jumped onto the fence.

"Nice doggie."

"Oh Toto, you know better than that." Gohan saw that the speaker was a girl who looked to be about his age. The dog looked at his owner and calmed down. "Sorry about that; he's normally a good boy but can be a little excitable."

"That's alright he just surprised me."

"I think you surprised him more. It's not everyday he meets a flying person."

"Uh, you saw that!"

"Yep, it was cool. You're Son Gohan aren't you, the one who fought Cell."

"Yes I am" he answered, blushing scarlet.

"I thought so. We don't get many channels but the Cell Game was on all of them. I'm Dorothy Gale by the way."

"I'm pleased to meet you Dorothy. Sorry if I'm trespassing or anything, I just was wary of those clouds."

"Yeah the radio says we're in for a storm but it shouldn't be too terrible. I came out lock up the horses and chickens, just in case."

"Surely you don't live here alone."

"Of course not" she laughed "I live with my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry but they had to go into town and I'm not sure when they'll be back."

"Do you need any help with the animals? I'd be glad to lend a hand."

"Thanks! That would be great!"

As they shut away the livestock, Gohan got a chance to fully examine the farm. It wasn't very large with only two horses and a few chickens. The farmhouse looked old but sturdy. Dorothy was a very pleasant girl and Gohan told her a bit more about himself as they worked.

"So now it's just Mom and me but we have another one on the way."

"I'm really sorry about your dad. That Cell was a demon. I sure am glad you finished him off for good." When Gohan looked surprised she laughed and continued "Hercule Satan is strong but I don't believe for one minute that he could finish off a creature like that. Come on inside, I'll get you something to drink."

Soon they were inside the Gale's small but cozy kitchen with tall glasses of lemonade and the radio giving updates on the weather. It seemed that some freak developments were raising concern.

"Oh dear, you'd better not fly home in this weather."

"Yeah, can I use your phone to call Mom?"

She said that it was alright and very shortly Chi Chi was on the line; "Gohan, where are you?"

"I'm at the home of a new friend named Dorothy. There was some heavy weather and I didn't feel comfortable flying home in it."

"What do you mean, heavy weather? What's going on?"

"Just a storm; I'll come home when it's over."

"Oh Gohan I don't like this."

"Everything will be alright Mom."

"I hope s…" The phone went silent as a blast of wind shook the house.

"Mom…Mom! The phone is dead."

"Oh where are Aunt En and Uncle Henry? They shouldn't be out in this weather."

The voice on the radio announced "Ladies and gentlemen we regret to inform you that a tornado has touched down in the area. Everyone is advised…shelter…will ke…updated…"

Dorothy turned off the radio as Gohan looked out the window. "Dorothy, this place has a storm shelter right?"

"Yeah, out in the back."

"Well we'd better get our tails down there because that tornado is in plain sight!"
