This short story was inspired by DeviantArtist lauraneato DBZ: Brotherly Love .

"He is so much like father." Gohan whispered to himself as he looked at his little brother who was sleeping against his shoulder.

"Things have changed," he thought as he sat down. "Dad is gone for good. Me and Videl are finally dating. Things seem so... so different." For once in his life Gohan didn't have to train or fight. He was content with where he was in life right then. He looked at the now drooling Goten and then looked up.

"Dad." he whispered. For years Goku has been either dead or fighting. Gohan hated that his father was gone all through his childhood. Gohan thought that Piccolo was like a second father. At least he was around more. But he still loved his father. He knew his father is always with him. In spirit. He looked down at Goten one more time.

"I want let Goten have a life like him. I will make this world better for him and everyone else on this earth."

From then on he knew he had to protect earth and the universe for the next generation. For his children and on.

I'm sorry it was so short. I know some authors don't like short stories. R&R!
