It was a quiet morning. 7 year old Goten was playing outside by himself. He was happy that Buu was defeated but he was even happier that his father was going to stay with them forever. Everybody was asleep, except Goten of course. There was a loud growl. Goten looked down to his tummy. Boy was he hungry! When will Mommy wake up and make breakfast, thought Goten. He ran back inside to make breakfast himself. Hmm… Why don't I make breakfast for everybody and show them I'm a big boy like Gohan, thought the little child. He scurried quietly to the kitchen and brought out a carton of eggs. He was going to make scrambled eggs like his mother. But the only problem was that Goten had no idea how to cook since his mother was the only one who cooked in the house. So Goten cracked all the eggs open and put in the gooey stuff (according to Goten) in a pan and turn on the heat. Unfortunately, the eggs burned but Goten didn't mind. He poured juice in three cups. But Goten remembered that his father was back and went to the cupboard.
"Can't forget about Daddy", whispered Goten. At last the feast was finished. Goten ate his (with a couple of faces) and ran outside to explore and play with the animals. Goku woke up to the smell of food. But as he went to the kitchen, he noticed that the food smelled burnt.
"Chi-Chi, what happened? I thought you were a great cook." A very confused Chi-Chi appeared next to Goku. What is this man talking about she thought. Then she thought that Gohan made the mess.
"GOHAN!" yelled Chi-Chi.
"Yes Mother?"
"Why did you make a mess?" replied Chi-Chi.
"WHAT?! I didn't make a mess". They all looked at each other and had the same thought. Goten. Chi-Chi went to observe the table. She saw a note and read it aloud.
"Dear Mommy,
I waked up early to make food for everybody. I am a big, responsible boy like Gohan. I hope Daddy loves the yummy food I made for him. I added a secret ingredent! GUESS! I added love… just for Daddy. I'm out to play with my friends.
Love, Goten"
They all stared at the note. Chi-Chi was very happy. How sweet of his baby boy to prepare a feast for them, although he misspelled ingredients. Goku's heart was throbbing. He couldn't think of anything as sweet as what Goten had done to make breakfast, just for him! Gohan was very fond of his little brother. He was also very proud at how Goten looked up to him, and how he mentioned that he is a big boy like Gohan. But Chi-Chi let out a cry. Both men looked at her. What happened?
"Where is my baby? I need to find him! He is all alone and who knows what could happen to him. He is in great danger!" exclaimed Chi-Chi. She ran to get dressed.
Goten was skipping about in the forest. He felt like a grown boy after he made breakfast for his family. But throughout his skipping, he tripped and fell into a deep hole. He yelled in pain because he landed head first. This caused a great stampede and piles of rocks fell in the hole... hurting Goten more. Goten received a huge cut on his right arm during the falling of the rocks. He felt weak and didn't have enough energy to blast the rocks. He became tired and fell unconscious.
"Relax Chi-Chi, I bet Goten is fine." said Goku as he tried to calm his wife down.
Gohan said,"Yea mom I bet he will be-..." Gohan had stopped because he couldn't sense Goten. He too began to worry. Goku noticed Gohan's behavior and also couldn't sense Goten either.
"Let's call the others to help us. Maybe theyknow where Goten is", said Goku. They called Bulma to gather the Z warriors for a meeting. They Son family went on over to Capsule Corp. Chi-Chi was
*AT CAPSULE CORP*
Trunks was happy that the Sons were coming over. I can show Goten my new robot toy, he thought. But Bulma hadn't told Trunks that Goten was missing. She was too busy contacting the others. DING DONG! Trunks leaped from the couch and ran towards the door. He opens the door only to find the Z warriors. "Oh its just you people", said a disappointed Trunks. The Z warriors exchanged confused looks and asked where Bulma was. Trunks led the way to his mother. There was another ring and Trunks knew it was the Son family. After he pushed the guests towards Bulma, he darted to the door and opened it. He perked up to see Goku at the door.
"Come on in!" exclaimed Trunks. One by one Goku, Chi-Chi and Gohan entered. Gohan was last to enter.
"Hiya Gohan".
"Hey Trunks", said Gohan sounding very serious. Trunks was surprised because Gohan was always so playful. When Gohan shut the door, Trunks becsme surprised.
"Umm... Where's Goten?" Goku looked at Bulma.
"Sweetie... Goten is missing. Nobody can sense his ki. We've come together for a search and rescue thing", Bulma said softly. Trunks's face fell. He had to find Goten.
"Well, then see ya all later. I'm going out to find him myself instead of wastin time", he said as he flew out of the house. Vegeta appeared in front of him and yanked him back in.
"Don't leave when your mother speaks to you", barked Vegeta. Trunks was scared so he flew towards his mother and sat with her. Bulma seemed surprised that Vegeta had made an effort to educate their son. She couldn't help but kiss him. Vegeta turn as red as a ripe tomato and stormed to his room. He hated to blush, especially in front of the Z warriors.
"What's with him", said Krillin while handing over his daughter, Maron to his wife, 18. Bulma giggled and a huge grin appeared on her face.
"Oh he just doesn't like to show his emotions when there is company in the house. He'd normally kiss me back". Vegeta let out a scream, making all the Z warriors smirk.
"So what's the emergency?" said Yamucha who obviously wasn't paying any attention to what Bulma told Trunks.
"My son is missing", said Goku. Yamucha was confused and said that Gohan was right next to him so he wasn't lost. Chi-Chi was fed up with Yamucha's act. She had luckily brought her frying pan of doom with her and smacked his head.
Yamucha fell to the ground and yelled,"What was that for?"
"GOTEN IS LOST AND YOU'RE FOOLING AROUND LIKE AN IDIOT?! I BET MY BABY IS SMARTER THAN YOU!" yelled back Chi-Chi.
"We'll all spread around our house and search the area until we've found him", said Gohan. They all flew to Goku's house. Little did they know that they were running out of time. Goten could fall into coma while he was unconscious.
"Will he be okay?" asked Chi-Chi to herself.
"Don't worry. I'll find him. I promise", said Goku
