It was a bright and sunny day on Chikyuu, the sun had just peeped its head over the mountains and the sunlight poured over the land, casting away the dark night shadows. Earth had been at peace for nearly 7 years and everyone was able to live somewhat normal lives. The destruction created by Cell was still not completely repaired and the lives he took away were still mourned over! The Son family had their share of mourning too, for their beloved saiyan hero Goku had still not returned to them. ChiChi was now raising two sons on her own one of which had given up the art of fighting the day after he defeated cell. The other child has his father's fighting spirit alive and kicking inside of him, ChiChi had done the best she could to train him, but she could only keep up with her little seven year old son for so long.

The Briefs family had their little act together too; Vegeta and Bulma had their lavender locked haired son Trunks were living together as a family. Vegeta and Trunks would train hard in the old gravity room every day and every day they would try to get stronger. Vegeta never let up on his son, especially since the day he had seen his little one become super saiyan, he could not believe his eyes yet the pride he felt that day was more then he could take. Sometimes it made Vegeta wonder if his own family from Vegeta-sei could've excelled to the level of super saiyan. He always thought of them everyday, he thought of his father and little sister, that he hadn't seen since the day Vegeta-sei was destroyed. But his son did replace that hole in his heart.

The other Z senshi had gone their separate ways since the Cell games, Yamcha kept on rotating girlfriends, and Piccolo had stayed on Kami's lookout as he put himself through deep meditation. Tien went of to his new home in the mountains, put no matter where any of them were they all thought of the warrior and friend they lost that day…Goku.

Over in the mountains at the Son house ChiChi was preparing lunch. Every time she would make another meal for her sons she would always think of Goku. It was always the little things to that she missed when he was alive, like the way he would be the first one at the dinner table when a meal was prepared, or the sound of his cheerful and happy voice echoing through the house. Or how she would see the look of joy and happiness on her son's face when he would return from training with Vegeta, her eyes would always well up with tears at those thoughts of the good times. She missed her husband terribly, and she wanted him back more then anything, and she wanted her youngest son to know his father the way Gohan did.

::This isn't fair…Goku! You weren't supposed to leave me and Gohan like that, you didn't even get to know that your second child growing inside me. I know you would be proud of our little Goten. If only you could see him, he looks just like you when you were younger. I wish you could come back to me and the boys::

ChiChi then stopped her thinking, she would always talk to Goku in her thoughts and she always wished that he would listen to her and find a way to come back to her. But it was futile but every once in a while she couldn't help but try to talk to him in her thoughts.

Gohan was upstairs in his room taking a study break and just sitting on the edge of his windowsill and taking in the gorgeous mountainous view. He was so excited about starting school in a couple of days, he couldn't wait to get back out into the world again. Not that he didn't love his mother and brother but he still wanted to get out, for the only other time that he would get to go out was when him and his family went to capsule corp. to visit the Briefs. Gohan had always longed for a little more then that, he wanted to be free like his dad was, his dad was never tied down at his age and he didn't want to be either he was so glad that he would get his chance. But there was a sad topic of either thought or discussion…his father!

:: Oh dad if only you were here…if only you could see Goten and me and mom again even for just a day. Goten has even gone super saiyan already, I could hardly believe it when I saw it he's a real firecracker. And he is so much like you more so then I was…geez dad why'd you have to go?::

Gohan sighed, and then he looked at Goten running around and playing with his animal friends, and training himself a little while he was at it. Gohan smiled at his little brother who was unaware that he was being watched; he saw how much the boy had a need to train and fight, the same way Gohan knew he had when he was younger. What happened to him? Why'd he ever stop? He did miss it, the thrill of a fight the intensity and feeling that surrounded him in battle like when he defeated cell. He did that all with feeling and his fighting spirit, he felt as though he had forgotten all of that he knew he grew weak from lack of training and he wanted to see if he could change that, for without his fighting spirit he was well only half the person he could be, but he felt like he couldn't do it alone.

"Gohan, Goten lunch time!" Gohan heard his mother shout from downstairs. Gohan got off the windowsill and headed downstairs he heard Goten already come in and sit at the table. He slowly entered the dinning room and or kitchen, and took his place at the table.

"Now no one touch a thing until we say grace and I can grab food first." ChiChi told the two hungry boys as she placed the chicken on the table, the two boys could hardly hold themselves back from the food but they knew the penalty if they disobeyed their mother. Then ChiChi placed the last bit of food on the table and then she took her place at the table, "Now everyone let us bow our heads and say grace…Gohan today it's your turn." ChiChi said glancing at her oldest son, Gohan nodded and began the prayer, "Thank you Dende for all this lovely food and please may we never lack it." Then everyone nodded and began eating their meal…it was rather quite during this lunchtime. Everyone had things on their mind except for maybe Goten; Gohan didn't like the silence much and tried to break it. He gave his mom a quick glance as she ate and decided that now was as good a time as any to ask her the big question, the one he's been trying to ask her for months already. Gohan gulped silently ::Here goes nothing:: Gohan began to clear his throat, "Uh, Mom?"

Both ChiChi and Goten looked up at Gohan who was looking down at his food. ChiChi gave him an awkward stare which made Gohan squirm uncomfortably in his chair, "What is it Gohan?" ChiChi asked.

Gohan looked up at his mother and gathered up all his courage, "Mom I want to know if you would let me start training again?" Gohan just looked back down at his food afraid to gaze at his mother, forever since his father died she had forbade him to ever fight again in anything anywhere. ChiChi glanced at him and sighed, "You know the answer to that already Gohan, why must you make me repeat it?" ChiChi said as she continued cutting her chicken up into little squares. "Because mom I don't see why you can't let me fight anymore, for seven years I have done everything you've ever asked of me mom, and I did it without complaint. Now all I ask is that you let me go back to training at least not even fighting but just training, Goten needs someone to spar with anyhow I mean it's not like we go visit the Briefs very often." Gohan argued.

"Yea mommy let Gohan spar with me." Goten said bringing himself into the conversation. ChiChi gave him a hard glare, "Stay out of this Goten!" ChiChi ordered. Goten gave her his little puppy dog face and sat quietly in his chair, Gohan continued looking at his mother in anger for he could not understand why his mother was saying that he could not even train let alone fight. ChiChi looked back at Gohan, "Why mom? Why won't you let me fight it's not fair!" Gohan said raising his voice.

"Your right Gohan it's not fair!" ChiChi shouted and Gohan's face changed to one of confusion. ChiChi began to have tears well up in her eyes, "Mom?" Gohan said softly. He reached out his hand to his mother but ChiChi pushed it away, "No! It's not fair that I HAVE BEEN LEFT ALONE TO RAISE TWO SONS WHO NEED THEIR FATHER! I HAVE BEEN DOING EVRYTHING ALONE, I CANNOT GIVE SOME OF THINGS THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET FROM YOUR FATHER! IT'S NOT FAIR THAT YOU'RE FATHER DIED TWICE IN BATTLE AND THE SECOND TIME HE DIDN'T COME BACK! AND IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR IF I LOST MY SONS THE SAME WAY EITHER!" ChiChi yelled as she began to let out her frustration through her sobs. Gohan couldn't help but feel guilty and went over to his mother and gave her hug, Goten could only look on as he watched his mother cry and he really didn't understand why. "Please don't cry mom, I won't train or fight I promise, I won't leave you neither will Goten." Gohan reassured his mother to calm her down a bit. ChiChi pulled away from Gohan and looked up at her son, "No, no I shouldn't it's not fair to you, I shouldn't keep you from training I…"

"No mom, I won't train…I chose not too." That was the most difficult thing Gohan ever had to say in his whole life, but he saw where his mother was coming from and he finally understood why she kept him away from fighting and training.

ChiChi began feeling guilty, she never wanted become so unglued like that in front of her boys, she always had to be the strong one and not show her pain, she saw how she was now hurting her own son by keeping him away from a fight and it hurt her, she wanted to take back that past moment of letting it all out back. ChiChi shook her head, "No Gohan, Goten go outside right now and train, your father would want it that way, I can't keep you from training or fighting it's apart of both of you, I will not suffocate my children anymore…and I'm sorry I ever did." With that ChiChi began clearing the table, "But mom…"

"Get out there now Gohan and train with your brother." ChiChi ordered pointing too the door. Gohan was in no mood to argue with her for it would be pointless and he and Goten went outside to train.

~*At Capsule Corp*~

Vegeta and Trunks were getting out of the gravity room to go eat their lunch, as they headed into the house Bulma came outside. "Hey boys." Bulma said with her cheery smile.

"What is it woman?" Vegeta asked her as he then began to feel something strange inside his ki.

"Oh well I've decided that today after lunch we would go visit ChiChi and the boys." Bulma said happily, Trunks put on a million dollar smile, "Yay that means I can train with Goten and Gohan…Oh wait, Gohan doesn't fight anymore, oh well then at least I can train with Gohan." Trunks didin't like the fact that Goahn didn't train anymore, he would've wanted to see him in action, for Gohan was his idol after his dad.

"Hey dad, why doesn't Gohan fight anymore?" Trunks asked as he looked up at his father.

"Because the brat lost his way, like a fool." Vegeta said as he continued to look up at the sky strangely, for he could sense something coming towards Chikyuu and what worried him was that whatever or whoever it was, was very strong.

Bulma noticed the look of worry on Vegeta's face as he continued to look up at the sky, "Vegeta what is it?"

"Something is coming…something strong very strong and…" Vegeta could hardly continue his sentence"…and powerful."

Out in space there was a space pod heading right towards earth, the owner of the pod was in a deep slumber until a mechanical voice cam up on the computer, "Wake up, E.T.A in approximately 10 minutes."

"Good, very good." The unknown stranger said with an evil grin.

Well that's the first chapter…I hope you liked it and remember this is an A/U so no need to remind me of that, I'll try and have the next chapter out soon, depending on how many people want another chapter out if not I'll take it off.
