Just to let you guys know, I've made some changes. Some of them I'm going to explain in the story, so I'm not going to say them here. So, Gohan has a tail. It grew back after they wished Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, and Chiaotzu back. The rest of the changes are going to be mentioned in the story itself. Also, I apologize if anything is horribly worded, as this is my first story on Fanfiction. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

~Chapter One~

Gohan fell down to the ground slowly, tired after his long and sorrowful battle with Cell. He had just finished Cell off, but at the cost of his father.

The Z-Fighters raced up to the young demi-saiyan, especially two kids who were best friends with Gohan.

"Heh, look at him. I guess saving the world takes its toll on you," Piccolo commently in his usual deep voice, but he was smiling slightly. They did, after all, just save the world, and possibly the entire universe.

A young blonde girl with bright blue eyes snorted. "That's an understatement, Piccolo."

"An understatement from Piccolo, Erasa?" Krillin asked the young girl. "I think all this fighting has gone to our heads. Hey, uh, let me ask you Gohan: were you holding your power back that entire time, uh, just to scare us? 'Cause boy, it worked."

"I mean, Gohan sure does like to scare us a lot, Krillin. I wouldn't be surprised," Erasa's twin brother, Darrius, said, laughing a bit.

Gohan laughed, smiling at his friends weakly. "And about those injuries, you don't have to worry one bit Gohan! Dende will get you to feel like a million bucks," Krillin exclaimed, still laughing.

"Here, I got ya, big guy," Yamcha said to Gohan as he picked the young demisaiyan up.

Tien stepped forward a bit. "Yamcha, are you sure you wanna carry Gohan? You have a lot of wounds."

Erasa furrowed her blond eyebrows. "I agree with dad, Yamcha. You are injured."

Yamcha just laughed it off. "Compared to Gohan, these are just scrapes."

"If you say so," Darrius replied.

Gohan chuckled weakly and looked at Yamcha, wrapping his tail around Yamcha's arm. "Sorry.. for the... mess..." Gohan said, passing out after his sentence.

"Gohan!" Krillin, Erasa, and Darrius cried.

"He's fine," Yamcha said, smiling. "He's just exhausted."

The three sighed in relief. Tien stretched a bit and walked a few feet away.

"I'll carry Trunks and follow you to the lookout. Erasa, Darrius, are you two ok to fly?"

Erasa rolled her eyes a bit, chuckling. "Dad, we're fine. We only got to fight the Mini-Cells anyway. We're not that injured."

Tien chuckled. "If you say so, Erasa."

Krillin laughed nervously. "Alright, I'll grab 18 and we can head out."

Everyone stared at him, then just looked away. Just then, Vegeta walked up to the group and grunted, letting them know that he was ready to leave.

"Alright, let's go," Piccolo said in a way that left no room for argument.

Krillin ran back to the group, with 18 now in his arms. Vegeta's eyes widened slightly and he aimed his hand at the fallen android. "Krillin, what are you doing with that... thing? Destroy her or I'll do it!" Vegeta said, glaring at the ex-munk.

"Wait! She can be good! Dr. Gero isn't controlling her anymore, so she doesn't have anyone to go to. We have to help her!" Krillin insisted.

"Ugh! Fine. Do what you want with her," Vegeta stated.

Hercule Satan stopped protecting his head from any other debris and looked around. He saw his students and the news team. 'Cell is... gone? That little boy defeat Cell by himself!'

Then, he looked around again and saw the Z-Fighters. 'I should thank the boy. Maybe I can ask them for their names and thank them publicly.'

Hercule jogged up to the group and they all turned around so suddenly.

Vegeta growled. "What do you want, clown?"

He gulped, and tried to push his fears away. "Where's the little boy who defeat Cell?"

Yamcha cleared his throat. "He's right here. Why?"

Hercule smiled softly at the young man resting in Yamcha's arms. "I wanted to, uh, thank him, but I guess I can't. Can I have your names? I'd like to thank you on national television."

"No," they all said at once.

"We'd like to keep our privacy, Hercule," Tien admitted.

"Ah, but may I ask for your names anyway? Just to have them," Mr. Satan asked.

"Wait, Mr. Satan?" Erasa and Darrius asked, surprised.

Hercule's eyes widened. "Erasa? Darrius?"

Now it was Tien's turn for his eyes to widen. "How do you know my kids?"

"They're your kids? Well, you've done a great job at raising them," the blue-eyed man complimented.

Darrius sighed. "Dad, remember our friend Videl? He's her father."

"Oh, right, her," Tien said, blushing a bit. "Well, it's nice to meet you. They've spoken of you and Videl very highly."

"So, your names?" Hercule reminded.

So one by one everyone introduced themselves, except for the unconscious boy. "Mr. Satan," Erasa said, raising her voice a bit to get his attention. "This is our friend, Gohan. He's the one who defeated Cell."

The man sighed. "I really wish I could thank him. Anyway- WAIT! D-does Gohan have a t-tail?"

Darrius nodded and Hercule's eyes widened. "So he's a saiyan?"

Vegeta stepped forward. "How do you know about the saiyans?"

"Videl's mother is a saiyan, and Videl has a tail exactly like Gohan's."

"Who is your mate? I am Prince Vegeta, the prince of all saiyans."

Hercule gulped. "U-um, my mate is Fasha. She left soon after Videl was born, fearing that some alien named Freezer or something would come after her and destroy this planet."

Vegeta nodded. "I remember Fasha. Also, I have a feeling that your mate will be returning soon. We have defeated Frieza about 3 years ago. I do hope that your mate returns to you, clown. If she doesn't return soon, she will be in physical pain, from being away from her mate for so long."

Even though Vegeta seemed rude and had a nasty attitude, he cared for his mate and son a great deal, and wouldn't wish it upon anyone to be separated from their mates. Hercule nodded and suddenly smiled, having an idea. "I'll say I defeated Cell, along with you guys. I won't mention your names, I promise," Hercule explained. "Well, I should get going now. I hope we cross paths again, some day."

Erasa and Darrius smiled. "Bye, Mr. Satan! See you whenever school gets back into session!" they chorused.

He walked towards his group, who were just starting to come to. At that, the Z-Fighters launched themselves into the air, flying towards the Lookout.

Once they got to the Lookout, Dende ran towards them. "Gohan!" he cried out.

Yamcha carefully unwrapped Gohan's tail from around his arm, and set the demisaiyan down. Dende kneeled over Gohan, hovering his hands over his body, and began healing him. Soon after the young Namekian healed his friend, Gohan woke up, groaning. His tail began moving again, and smacked Dende in the face. Dende flew backwards a bit, and Gohan winced. "Sorry, Dende, and thanks for heal-"

He was interrupted by two blurs that smacked into him, making him slide back a little. "Hey Erasa, Darrius."

Erasa punched Gohan's shoulder. "You idiot! You worried us." She squeezed her best friend tightly. Darrius did the same, but decided not to punch his friend since he was still probably sore. Piccole cleared his throat. "Alright, enough with the mushy stuff. We need to summon Shenron."

The three 11 year olds stood up and their expressions turned serious. The Z-Fighters all exchanged glances and nodded at Dende. The young Namekian began chanting the words the brought out the dragon, and Shenron woke from his slumber. "What is your first wish?"

"We want to wish back everyone that was killed by Cell!" Dende declared.

The dragon's eyes glowed. "Your wish has been granted. What is your second wish?"

Trunks gasped as he was brought back to life. He glanced at his father, expecting to see a scowl, but he was surprised to see a small smile gracing Vegeta's face.

The Z-Fighters' eyes widened as they looked around. Piccolo sighed. "Just as I feared. I hoped that since Dende created a new dragon, it would allow us to bring Goku back, but I guess not."

"Wait!" Darrius interfered. "Can't we just go to Namek and ask Porunga?"

Dende grinned. "Yeah, we can!"

The twins had gone along with Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma to Plant Namek, so they knew everything that happened. They had gone to wish their father and the others back.

"Wait," a voice said, surrounding the Lookout. "Don't I get a say in this, too?"

Gohan's eyes widened. "D-dad?"

Goku sighed and explained his reasoning for staying in Other World. Gohan sniffled as tears came into his eyes. "B-but, daddy, me and mom need you! It's my fault you died, you don't have to punish mom for it!"

The Z-Fighters, Goku included, were honestly a bit shocked by Gohan's outburst. "Gohan, it's for the good of the planet and its not your fault. I sacrificed myself!" Goku tried to reason with his son, but to no avail.

Gohan glared into the sky. "No, dad. Staying behind would be selfish! Everyone needs you. I need you! Mom needs you! If more villains come, then we can fight them, all together! Even if you stay dead, peace won't last long. How long until another villain comes to Earth, trying to rule over it?"

Goku sighed and smiled at Gohan's reasoning. "That is true. I'm sorry, son. You're right, it is selfish of me. And when you get to Namek, you can wish me, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory back too, or they'll kill me once I'm alive again," Goku said, chuckling a little at the end. "I'm sorry for leaving you alone, Gohan. I'll be back before you know it."

Gohan's glare turned into a smile, and he fell to his knees, suddenly exhausted again. Trunks furrowed his eyebrows. "Gohan, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm-" Gohan started to say, but then interrupted himself with a gasp as he felt a searing pain in his tail. "My t-tail."

Vegeta's eyes widened slightly and the prince winced as Gohan began whimpering in pain. The saiyan prince walked to Gohan and karate-chopped the back of his neck, rendering him unconscious, and Vegeta put the young boy over his shoulder.

"Your second wish?" Shenron reminded.

Krllin stepped up, with approval from Piccolo and the others. "I want to make Android 17 and 18 human!"

"Your wish has been granted." The dark sky turned bright again as the seven dragon balls were shot across the earth once again. 18, who was hiding behind a pillar, covered her mouth and quickly jumped off the platform, flying to who-knows-where. Everyone then turned to Vegeta, who was stroking Gohan's tail. When he noticed everyone was staring, he blushed and scowled. "What are you looking at?"

"What's going on with Gohan?" Krillin questioned worriedly.

Vegeta just shook his head. "The brat is fine, although if my suspicions are true... well, you'll find out."

Piccolo just rolled his eyes. "And you can't tell us now, why?"

"Suspense," Vegeta said, smirking. "He'll wake up in a bit. I didn't hit him that hard."

Vegeta threw Gohan down onto the ground, waking him up. "Huh?" Gohan then sighed in relief, since his tail wasn't in pain anymore. "My tail doesn't hurt anymore."

Darrius shrugged. "Well, we should all get going. Hey dad, we're going to go with Gohan for a while. Can we sleep over?"

Tien nodded. "Sure, just for tonight though. Launch is worried sick."

Erasa smiled. "Say hi to mom for us!"

Soon, all the Z-Fighters flew off the Lookout, except for Piccolo, who smiled at Dende and walked away to clean himself.

Krillin, Yamcha, Trunks, Vegeta, Gohan, Darrius, and Erasa in one direction and Tien flew the other way.

They began conversing, except Vegeta of course, until it was time for them to separate. Yamcha and Krillin bid their friends farewell as they flew in the direction of Kame House. Vegeta grunted and Trunks waved as they flew towards Capsule Corp, and Gohan, Erasa, and Darrius smiled and waved as they flew towards the Son Home

Ox-King picked up Chichi in a hug and spun in circles, as the father-daughter duo cheered. There were joyful tears in their eyes, excited that Gohan had defeated Cell. Suddenly they heard a knock on the door. Chichi gasped and jumped from her father's tight and strong grasp, sprinting to the door. She slammed the door open, and even more tears came to her eyes. She grabbed her son and held him in a tight embrace, sobbing into his hair. Gohan smiled and tears came into his eyes as he laughed a wet laugh. "Mom."

Chichi sniffled and held her son at arms-length, checking for injuries. She noticed the scar on his shoulder from when he was struck on his shoulder, trying to protect Vegeta. She sighed in relief when she realized that Dende probably healed him and she finally noticed Erasa and Darius standing in the doorway, smiling. She hugged them and realized that they had blood all over them and their clothes were ripped. "Erasa, honey, you can go shower, then Darrius, then you, Gohan." They nodded and Erasa went towards the bathroom as Chichi added, "You already know where the towels are!"

Gohan fake-coughed and got his mother's attention. "Uh, mom? Dad-"

Chichi looked around. "Which reminds me, where is your father? Is he hiding from me?"

Tears formed in Gohan's eyes. "No, Dad sacrificed himself to save the earth and its my f-fault. We're going to go to Planet Namek to wish him back through Porunga."

Chichi sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Okay, honey. Only on one condition, though."

Gohan tilted his head, and Chichi continued. "I get to go with you."

Gohan immediately began protesting. "Mom, I can't let you go! It's dangerous. I can't lose you too!"

"I'll be fine as long as I have the strongest boy in the universe to protect me, right?" Chichi asked, winking at her son. Then her faced turned serious. "Gohan, promise me that you will continue training."

Gohan's eyes practically bulged out of his head as he stared at his mother. He felt Chichi's forehead with the back of his hand. "Mom, are you okay?"

"Gohan, I'm serious. I'll let you continue training as long as you keep up with your studies," Chichi affirmed. This was very out of character for Chichi, but she realized how much she has been restricting her son from what he loves to do. Although he hates to kill, because he is one of the most kind and pure souls you will ever have met, he loves fighting and the thrill of it.

Gohan's eyes lit up and Chichi smiled, realizing that it was worth, seeing how it made her son so happy. Just then, Erasa walked out into the living room, wearing new clothes. From how much the twins were over at the Son house, Chichi decided to get a wardrobe dedicated to clothes for the twins.

Darius flashed a peace sign at Gohan and went to the bathroom. Ox-King came in from the kitchen and smiled when he saw his grandson and Erasa. He picked the two 11-year-olds up and squeezed them in a tight hug, before he set them down. "Well, I must get going. Bye Gohan, Erasa, and Chichi."

With that, the Ox-King squeezed through the door, got in his vehicle, and drove away. Erasa put a hand on Chichi's arm. The mother in question turned to Erasa and gave her a questioning glance. "Can we talk?" Erasa asked the Son matriarch. "Alone?" she added, glaring at her friend. Gohan put his hands up and slowly backed away, laughing nervously. Erasa smiled evilly. "That does the trick. So I've been wanting to ask you..."

Gohan backed into his room slowly, eyeing his mother and friend from afar, and closed the door to his room. He sighed in relief that he got away from the two scary and strong women unscathed.

"Hey."

The demisaiyan jumped and turned around, immediately falling into a fighting stance as he glared at his surroundings, when he spotted Darius, dressed in pajamas and holding a towel. "Kami, Darrius! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" he said, relaxing once again.

The dark-blue-haired boy shrugged. "It's your turn to shower, Gohan."

Gohan nodded and got his towel. "Right. My mom and Erasa are in the living room talking about something they don't want me to know about. So, I'll probably be out in a few minutes."

And with that, the eleven-year-old demisaiyan walked out of his room and into the bathroom. Darrius put his towel on a hook in the closet and walked out into the living room, sitting next to his sister. Chichi smiled at Darrius. "Erasa was just telling me about an idea you had about Gohan?"

The twins smiled mischievously at each other, then turned back to the Ox-Princess. "So what do you think about it?" Darrius asked curiously, tilting his head to the side a little.

Chichi's smile changed into a contemplative frown. "Well, I don't want him to get left out, but he also needs more friends besides you two and Lime."

Erasa pouted and gave the woman she called a second mother puppy-dog eyes. "Please, Chichi? We could introduce him to all our friends, and Lime goes there too!"

The black-haired mother studied the twins, and she could tell how much they wanted this. She sighed, and the twins' eyes lit up, knowing that she gave in. "Fine. I believe it starts again in the fall, right?"

Darrius nodded. "By then, he'll have his father back and all of us will be in sixth grade."

"So, I guess that settles it. I'll talk to him about a week before he has to take the entrance exams. He's going to Orange Star Middle School!"

Well, that's it for the first chapter. Forgive me if it's rushed. Anyway, let me explain the twins, Erasa and Darrius.

So obviously Erasa will still look like how she does in the anime. As for Darrius, he has dark blue hair and green eyes. I decided that since Launch is the twins' mother, I would use both her personalities. Erasa has the blonde hair from the violent Launch and blue eyes from nice Launch. Darrius has his dark blue hair from nice Launch and his green eyes from violent Launch. Erasa and Darrius are identical twins, but the only reason they look different is because of the different personalities of Launch.

Now, about Videl. Yes, this is probably an overused idea, especially with Fasha being Videl's mother, but I like the idea of Videl being a saiyan as well. I also like the idea of saiyans having tails, so I'm keeping that. Anyway, Fasha is honestly the only female saiyan I would want to be Videl's mom because, it's just perfect. I mean, the only difference is the eyes, but it's obvious that Videl gets her eye color from her father.

Now Lime. Okay, I'm going to have Lime know basic martial arts and know how to use her ki, so she'll be able to defend herself against humans and weak aliens. Basically, she'll be about as strong as Chichi, or maybe a little bit stronger.

Erasa and Darrius have been training about as long as Gohan so that they could fight against the saiyans, and they have been on every adventure Gohan has been on. They are about as strong as Piccolo.
