May: Age 767
Son Residence
Gohan impatiently tapped his pencil on the wood of desk he was stuck on this one question for well over thirty minutes and he was starting to lose his patience.
"Come on, you need to focus" he muttered to himself.
The young Saiyan finally had enough, he flipped the textbook shut and took a long deep breath, He looked outside his open window and into the vast beauty of the forest that surrounded his home.
It sure looks beautiful today.
his eyes unconsciously locked onto a family portrait of his family. Grasping the wooden frame Gohan held the picture up to his grief filled eyes.
"Oh Dad…I always thought you were invincible".
He remembered what it was like to come home and find his father dead. Gone just like that, taken away from him. Leaving Gohan alone with his mother. His eye's lingered on his fathers infamous grin. He couldn't stop seeing that grin. Every time he closed his eye's he would always see his fathers smiling face. But now all he could really see was his fathers headstone.
He stayed liked that for what seemed like an eternity to him. He wished this was all just a bad dream and he'd wake up.
"GOOOHAN!"
His sensitive ears rang from the familiar nag of his mum's voice.
Gohans door swung open as his mother pushed it back.
"Gohan! I'm making lunch soon what do yo…" Chi Chi's voice stopped in its tracks. She looked down at her grieving son, grasping a picture of them tightly.
"Oh Gohan" Chi Chi said soothingly as she stood behind him rubbing his back in a comforting manner. Her son gulped down his grief before looking at her.
"I miss him mum".
"I miss him too Gohan, but we have to be strong, Goku would want us to be happy".
"Do you think he's watching us Mum?"
"Of course he is, and knowing him he's probably training".
They both let out a light laugh. "Yeah he probably is".
That seemed to have calmed him down, Chi Chi thought to herself.
"Oh! I forgot, Piccolo's here Gohan." The young boy's face brightened, standing up he seemingly forgot about his grief and ran towards the kitchen. Chi Chi smiled as she watched her son scurry towards the kitchen.
She was just about to leave the room before she took one last look at there family picture. Goku I wish you were her. Your son needs you. I need you. She had to close the door if she stood there any longer she knew she would break down crying.
Tears welled in her eye's as she left.
The picture would always be eternally in her mind.
The first two chapters are short. But the length gradually builds as the story progresses.
