IMPORTANT: this is coming from the future... This first chapter is kind of sloppy and there are some OOC problems but if you give it to the 3rd chapter, I should have everything sorted out and going smoothly. I will have fixed a bunch of stuff like how the paragraphs are spaced and character flaws and stuff. Also, since this is an AU I will have the changes to the canon at the bottom of this chapter. By the way, this is probably going to get COMPLETELY rewritten. It will have the same stuff on the important points but a lot of stuff will get changed within the next month.
So here is my first fan fiction.
It's a story pretty much based on an A/U of DBZ before and after the cell games. There are a lot of rearrangement but the story stays similar up to this point.
For one, Goku's family is a whole lot larger than before. (this was always how I had imagined it due to Chi-Chi's plans for her family and, lets be honest, Goku's friskiness) The main changes have been OC's added to the Son family.
SON STORY
Sun shining in through the window, Goten could rest no longer. He was awake and full of energy. His room was empty since Goran and Gotu built the new end of the house. This made Goten lonely when he went to sleep and he was eager to spend time with his brothers and sisters now.
Gotu saw through the window, Goten just waking up. 'As usual' he thought to himself, and then went backing to chopping trees into small logs with his tail.
His alarm went off, waking Gohan from his slumber and making him get up for school. Gohan peered out his window to see that Gotu was already up and working. He guessed that his family was waking up in its normal schedule, which would mean that he was the third awake. His yawn turning to a sigh when Goten burst through the door and leaped at him.
Goka and Goren woke up in sync with Chi-Chi, their mother. The three of them came down stairs to make breakfast. "You girls doing well this morning?" inquired Chi-Chi. Goka nodded while Goren gave a small groan for having to wake up.
Finally, Goran, the surliest of them all, awoke in a state of pure voraciousness. His desire for food greatly outweighed his desire to sleep , so he immediately sprung from his messy bed and flew down stairs at great speed, nearly ramming into Goten who was running for the same reason.
"WOAH, Hey!" yelled Goran in his naturally deep voice. Goten fell over and giggled when Goran flew through the wall, knowing that Goran would be the one to fix it.
"Hey! Stop laughing, Goten. You know, if you quit, I might teach you how to fly…" offered Goran. Goten gasped and shut his mouth immediately.
Goren, having heard the conversation, shouted, "Hey, no fair! You haven't even taught me, you twin sister, how to fly yet!"
Goran, seeing his dilemma, scratched his head with his eyes closed, lightly chuckling. "Uh, yeah, you're right. I'll have to get back to you on that one." He replied.
Goka, seeing the disappointment in Goren's eyes, promised that she would teach Goren how to fly. "Oh really? I've been waiting so long. I mean since Dad left you know…" The mention of Goku sent pangs of sorrow through all of them.
"Don't worry sis," said Gohan, having made his way down stairs with Goten on his shoulders. "He left while trying to save us, like he would have always wanted."
"Yeah, but I just wish he could have taught me to fly first..." joked Goren. They all had a laughing fit. Only, Goten looked puzzled.
"What was daddy like?" he questioned openly. Gohan lifted Gohan from his shoulders and carried him to a mirror. "He was like that," holding Goten up so he could see his reflection. "Really? I'm like dad?" said Goten excitedly. "A spitting image of," said Chi-Chi over her shoulder.
Just as Chi-Chi had responded to Goten, Goran ran in through the door, having just finished patching the hole in the side of the house.
"Food!" Goten, Goran, and the now-present Gotu.
"Dig in boys and girls," was uttered and the Son family began to eat several meals-worth of food for breakfast. Although, there was an empty spot at the table, the family still ate like Goku was there.
"Well you hurry to school, boys" ushered Chi-Chi as Gotu and Gohan blasted off for their first day of school.
There was no use hiding it, Gotu was faster, and Gohan knew it. But still, they raced anyway.
Once they had reach Satan City, Gohan and Gotu hovered in the clouds so as not to be seen. They talked about how they were going to go about their activities in the city.
"Well you can do whatever you want here, but I'm not letting school distract my training." Yelled Gotu to Gohan. "I plan on coming here, learning, leaving, and training for the rest of the day." Gotu explained, ruffling his long black hair so that it sat just like Goku's. "Well that's fine, but don't expect me to be the same way," replied Gohan. "Mom always wanted me to be the intellectual, anyhow."
And with that they flew towards the roof of Orange Star High School.
As Gohan and Gotu walked into their class, the teacher introduced them both. "And here we have some new students." He called the class' attention to Gohan and Gotu. "Hi," they said in unison. "Son Gohan, made a perfect score on the entry exam, while his brother, Son Gotu here missed only 2 questions." A resounding, however unenthusiastic, sigh in awe swept through some of the students.
"Hey, up here guys!" shouted a blonde girl from the back row of the auditorium style classroom. Gotu and Gohan turned and began to walk back to the two open spaces in that row.
Gohan sat down next to the girl while Gotu took the seat at the aisle beside Gohan.
"So, where are you guys from?" she asked curiously. "The 439 Mountain Area, ." replied Gotu.
Videl and Sharpener, who were sitting to the right of Erasa, heard that one bit of the conversation and were immediately surprised.
"The 439 Mountain Area!" chirped Videl. "I'm Videl, that's Erasa, and that's Sharpener, by the way," she added.
"Nice to meet you," said Gohan. Gotu sat back in his seat and waited for class to start.
"How do you get here?" Videl and Erasa asked.
"We fly." replied Gotu flatly.
"By helicopter of course." added Gohan shooting an angry look at Gotu, who proceeded to roll his eyes.
"Well how else could you, I guess…" said Videl.
"Yeah," replied Gotu.
"Hey nerds!" called Sharpener.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you buddy," Gotu said calm but frighteningly standing up. "Sit down Gotu, he's just messing with us." cautioned Gohan.
Sharpener, who was not expecting such a reaction, awkwardly backed down from what he was going to say, half intimidated and half embarrassed.
As the day goes on, the new acquaintances will get to know each other and bonds will form… But what is so mysterious about the Son's, goes through Videl and Sharpener's minds…
So, there you go, I hope you like it. If you have looked at my notes, leave a review on what you think about this A/U. Constructive criticism also welcome.
If it really got you going then give it a favorite and I see you later!
P.S. I am a busy student so I may only update this story on weekends. cya.

Important Events
So, goku died against Cell and left his family to be run by Chi-Chi and Gohan. Some of the sons/daughters will be fighters while some will be like canon Gohan.
Vegeta began to breed back the Saiyans by making a wish to Shenron that all of his and Goku's descendants become full Saiyan so that the Saiyans don't die off. *This might have been confusing so, I want to explain by saying Vegeta was worried about the Saiyans dying off and, even though he protects Earth, he doesn't care that much about humans so, yes, this would eventually kill of the humansif it went unnoticed ;)*
Gohan defeated Cell like in the canon but with serious help from Gotu.
Character Changes and Important Traits
Gohan is almost like his canon counterpart but he is a little more of a badass, and a little more serious.
If you remember how Gohan has that *hidden power* stuff, just think of Gotu also having that but having easier access to it and being a more natural fighter.
Gohan has a job at Capsule Corps. to support the family. He's not a super-mega-uber-genius but he is a super-genius... If you know what I mean.
He does take part in the whole "fighting crime" stuff with Videl except that there is no Saiyaman, only the gold fighter, who, wears only a bandana up to his nose.
Gohan is an expert pianist. (Just to add some sort of realistic variety)
Gohan's abilities are similar to canon: he goes up to ssj2
Power Levels/Transformations and Relationships
Gotu can make the transformation to ssj3 but just passes out from the power soon afterwards. (Vegeta does this too)
Goka and Goren are very close and can go ssj1.
Goran tries to follow Gotu's footsteps and manages to turn ssj2.
Goten often spends time with Gohan or Goran. (Goten is pretty much completely canon, since he's too perfect to mess with in the canon...)
Goku, being dead, has had more training time and has mastered ssj3.
Vegeta is often training with Gotu and trying to get an advantage because they are equal.
Side Notes
Chi-Chi often has Gotu and Goran build extensions onto their house because of their family's size.
The whole Buu Saga thing hasn't occurred yet and it might not.
