Morning

Some words lost in the mist..

'His blood pressure is finally normal.'

'Heart beat is optimal for a sleeping human.'

'He soon will be awake.'

And so he did. He heavily opened his eyes to see three white-dressed people. One of them was a woman. They were talking in medical concepts. He wasn't completely wide awake. He could hardly understand what they were speaking about.

He tried to lift his head but it was too heavy for him and sighed. Doctors stopped talking and looked at him curiously. He looked back at them feeling that his senses are slowly coming back.

'Oh, good morning, Goku', said the woman, 'Finally you are awake. We were checking what does the computer show about your condition. Fortunately, you were getting well and we were expecting you to wake up. And you did! We are very happy.'

'Maybe you need some time? We can leave you alone for a couple of minutes and after that we would like to have a small talk. I guess you don't remember what happened?' The other doctor asked.

Goku really needed some time alone because he felt too dizzy and because of that he couldn't remember what had happened before he got into hospital.

'A minute alone would be great', Goku said trying to be polite.

'Good. We will call your wife. She will be happy to know that you are already awake. When you are ready to talk press this red button.'

They left.

He was confused. Not because he couldn't remember what happened. He couldn't understand why can't he remove dizziness from his head. Why can't he lift his head as lightly as he always could.

"I wonder if that is the subsequence of the event that I can't remember." He thought. "I remember that I was sparring with my two sons after the dinner that Chichi had made. And… ugh… it's like a black hole in my head."

He couldn't remember what happened after that. It was blank.

"And I also can't ask the doctors what was it that I got here. I don't think that everyone would say such things to doctors. Probably they said that I got into a car accident or something. But why didn't they give me senzu beans. Don't tell my Karin forgot to grow them again and I had to lie here for a couple of weeks. Or even months!"

He was now curious what happened that he is here. He was waiting for Chichi or someone else to come and tell him. It would be great if they brought senzu beans with them… or at least Dende. It would help for him to recover and regain strength faster.

He felt weak. Oh, how weak he felt! It was as if someone sucked all the energy out of him. He wanted to get out of this room through the window and fly back home. But he couldn't grab onto the energy needed for flying. He couldn't even stand up! What was wrong with him?!

He was worried. He couldn't remember the last time he had felt like that. Probably it was the time when he was watching from Kai's planet how Gohan was beating Cell. And it was forteen years ago!

He tried to get up but those pipes and tubes were getting in his way. He saw a catheter in his left arm and all the blood left his face.

"I hate these things." He mumbled and pressed red button with his right arm.

A woman came right away.

'Are you ready yet?'

'I can talk to you but firstly I would like you to remove this thing and pipes from me, please. I don't like them.'

'I'm sorry, but we can't. We have to make sure that you are alright before we remove everything.'

'They are getting in my way.' Goku complained. 'When is Chichi coming?'

'Chichi is already coming with Goten. They said they will be here as fast as they can.'

'Finally.' He sighed.

'Can I ask you some questions?'

'Sure.'

'Maybe I will ask you the most important thing first.'

'Go ahead.'

'Do you remember what happened?'

He didn't know what Chichi had said about him. So he tried to guess.

'Car accident?'

'Yes!' The doctor smiled. 'I'm glad you remember'

He got it.

'Can you tell me how long I've been sleeping for?'

'For a year, dear.'

'For a year?!' What in the…?

'Yes, that's right. You are lucky you have survived after such a severe accident. You are a strong man.'

At that moment Chichi rushed into the ward.

'GOKU!' she screamed cheerfully.

'DADDY' you could hear cheerful Goten's voice.

'Chichi…Goten…' He smiled. 'Can you leave us alone for a moment?' He asked turning to the doctor while Chichi with Goten rushed towards him and hugged him in a way it would not damaged all the stuff around him.

'Of course.' She left.

'Oh, Goku, I was so worried about you! I'm so glad that you are alive. You are fine! You are with us!' Tears of joy was running down Chichi's face. She she cried into his shoulder.

Goten, a small replica of Goku, was reaching for daddy's hand and also started to cry from happiness when felt that the hand he had been caressing for a year finally moved and covered his small one. A small boy couldn't describe the happiness in his heart.

Goku smiled warmly. He was happy to see his family again. But there wasn't one member of his family.

'Where's Gohan?' He became serious.

'He's busy now. He couldn't get here so quickly.' Said Chichi.

'What happened?' Goku instantly knitted his eyebrows.

'He's in university. It is far away from here, remember? He can't get here that fast.' She explained. Doctor said that he might not remember some things.

Goku thought that he only remember that he was going to school. Maybe something changed in a few months.

'How far is it?' He asked.

'In the West City.' Goten mumbled.

'But that is only 200 km away. That's a few minutes' fly.' Goku was amazed.

'What are you talking about, Goku?' Chichi took alarm. Goten was following the conversation.

'What do you mean? He could get here by flying, didn't he?' Goku looked at them.

'Well, yes, he could get here by plane but it takes much longer than a few minutes. He travels by car. And he's coming.' Chichi explained.

'Why would he travel by car or by plane?' He chuckled. 'Did he become that weak in a few months?'

'I don't understand you, Goku.' Chichi stated.

'Oh come on Chi. Don't be kidding me.' He chuckled again. 'Better tell me what happened that I'm here.'

'You don't remember? You got into a car accident while driving home from work. Your car was absolutely smashed. A countercurrent car hit you. The other driver is dead.' She said in a sad voice.

Goku couldn't believe it. A car accident forced him to lie in bed for a year? That was unbelievable. He started to laugh.

'Why are you laughing, Goku? It's not funny at all.' She frowned.

'Don't be so funny, Chi. How come a car accident could injure me. Thousands of cars could hit me at the same time and I would still be totally fine and you know it. What are you talking about?

'Are you OK, daddy?' Goten became nervous. He had never heard his dad talking such nonsense. Except the times when he was joking. But now he looked as if he believed the words he just said.

'Goku, can you tell me the latest events of your life?' Chichi asked in a strange voice.

'Of course I can,' He stated. 'After me and Vegeta had defeated Buu we continued to live in Mt. Paozu. Gohan and Goten went to school. I kept training and helping you with your garden, Chi.'

Chichi and Goten looked at each other. The wife touched Goku's forehead to feel any unusual heat but his forehead was normally warm. She thought of the worst.

'I'll be back soon, hon.' Chichi said and went out with Goten taking him by his hand.

He was confused… and weak. He wanted to free himself and so he started to remove all the tubes around him. And the time came for catheter. He did not know how to remove it. He touched it, pulled it but it was no good of it. Still he was able to move a little so he budged his legs finding out that it was very hard to do. But still he didn't give up. Goku sat up as the doctor came.

'What are you doing?!' The doctor exclaimed. 'You still can't move. Your muscles are weakened right now. Lie down, please.'

'That's why I want to stand up and train. I can't waste any time.' Goku replied.

'I have to ask you some questions, Goku.'

At the same time Chichi and Goten was sitting in the waiting room. Chichi was nervous. Very nervous. Her husband was talking some nonsense. The doctor said that Goku could have amnesia. He will have to learn about himself a lot of things. The doctor went to check Goku and she was afraid to get the answer.

'Will dad be OK?' the child asked.

'I'm sure he will. He just forgot a lot of things, Goten. He needs time to remember. We will help him.' Chichi said.

'Did he forget about me?'

'I don't think so. He recognized us.'

'I'm sorry to tell you, but you have amnesia, Son Goku. The life that you described is not even close to reality. You had a long dream while being in coma. We will check your health and if everything is OK you will be able to go home in a few days. Though, you will need to come here often, we will try to make your brain work.'
