A Trip to the past

Chapter 1: The wish

I couldn't stop thinking about Gohan. Mere hours before, the boy had freed me from Cell and then he had killed that monster. And now, for some reason, I felt compelled to do something in return as a thanks. I just couldn't get that urge out of my head. Which then brought me to my next problem, what could Gohan possibly want that I could give him? I doubted he would want anything material, I didn't think he would be happy with some gift. No, it had to be something different. He wanted his father back, that much was obvious. But that was one thing I couldn't help him with. I could of course gather the dragon balls next year and wish for it. The problem was that the man himself, for some noble reason, didn't want to come back, so that wish was impossible. Too bad you can't resurrect someone against their will. This left me with only one thing to do, keep an eye on the boy and hope he lets something else slip I could wish for. Then all I'd have to do was gather all the dragon balls and make the wish.

From that day forward I studied Gohan a few hours every day. Sometimes I felt a little bad for spying on him, but it's not as if I watched him in the bathroom. I only did it for him, and that was enough of an excuse for me. I also became Krillin's girlfriend, this allowed me to get closer to Gohan inconspicuously. But don't get me wrong, I really do like Krillin. I also started collecting the dragon balls. To do this I 'borrowed' the dragon radar hidden in Gohan's home. After two weeks I brought the dragon radar back. I had collected four dragon balls, and I knew the location of the other three. The last three wouldn't be easy to get and she would only do it at the last minute. One dragon ball on Master Roshi's island, one at Capsule Corporation and one at Gohan's home.

After one year I still hadn't found anything I could wish for him, and I was beginning to get quite desperate. I was coming close to giving up, or just asking him if there was anything he wanted. I had talked to him at a party once, but he didn't like talking about himself, so that hadn't helped either. All she had found out was that he had a little brother now, called Goten and that his mom had put him back to studying eight hours a day. One day I was spying on him while he sat in a clearing in the forest surrounding his home, seemingly lost in thought. It was getting late in the evening and the shadows were getting longer. But most importantly, Gohan was talking to himself, or rather, his father.

"Dad", he said, "I really miss you, and so does mom. We understand why you didn't come back but it still hurts, a lot." He sighed and looked up into the sky.

"I just wish I could spend some more time with you", he said after a long pause.

Finally something to wish for. It was just so simple, why didn't I think of that myself? It would've spared me a whole lot of trouble. I quickly ran to the house and stole the dragon ball when Gohan's mom, Chi-Chi, wasn't looking. Once again I was really glad no one could sense my ki, that way it was far easier to sneak around. Then I flew away to get the other dragon balls as fast as possible.

In the end it took me about an hour to gather the remaining dragon balls and find the most remote place on Earth to summon the eternal dragon. I wanted to finish as quickly as possible, before anyone found out I was making a wish. The question wasn't if anyone would find out I made a wish, but rather when someone would find out I made a wish. So I quickly summoned the dragon and told it my wish.

"I wish for Gohan Son to be able to spend some more time with his father!"

The dragon's eyes glowed red for a second, then he said: "Your wish has been granted, I can fulfil one more wish."

Since I couldn't think of anything else to wish for I just wished for nothing. The dragon disappeared and I got out of there as fast as I could. I hoped Gohan would be happy with the wish.


I got this idea last night and couldn't get it out of my head, so I wrote it down. This chapter was only an introduction, that's why it's so short. I'll upload the second chapter as fast as possible. Probably later today, or tomorrow.

I hope you liked it. Please review, it would make me really happy.
