Hello all! Well here is a new story you all can read for me. I know this is going to be a promising story. I hope that you all think the same thing too. I see a bright future for this story. I'm going to do a lot of new things that I haven't done before in this story (in later chapters.)

I do not own Dragonball Z.

Hidden Bars
1 Year Later

"I just don't get it Piccolo. Ever since dad died, everything has been out of control."

"Like how?"

It has been a year since the fight against Cell. Gohan now 12 years old watched as his mentor, Piccolo was training. Gohan's knees were up against his chest as he watched the Namek.

"Well every one has been keeping their distance from me. No one comes near me any more. Mom and I get in fights all the time. Then there is Goten, which makes everything worst, his first words were daddy. This made mom break down into a cry. And when I try to get near her she backs away. She doesn't even let my hold Goten. It feels like everyone is afraid that I would hurt them or something. What should I do?"

Piccolo punched into the air, Gohan blinked and stood up. Waiting for Piccolo to answer his question.

"Gohan."

Gohan walked closer to his friend.

"You know that I'm not good with that kind of stuff."

Gohan lightly laughed as he looked down at the ground. Piccolo dropped his stance and looked at his friend.

"Well, I though that maybe you would have an idea."

"Ask Dende if you can talk to Goku in the other world. He can help you more then I can."

"That's a great idea."

Gohan said as he ran up to Piccolo, as if he was about to hug him. He stopped and bowed.

"Thank you."

Gohan said as he looked up at his friend and ran to find Dende. Piccolo smiled, and walked behind his friend.

"Dende, can I have a word?"

Gohan found Dende looking down at the Earth. The young Kami looked over his shoulder.

"Of course, what do you need Gohan?"

"Well I was wondering if I can talk to my dad?"

Dende walked over to Gohan.

"No problem."

"Oh thank you."

Gohan bowed as Dende turned his back.

"Anything for the savior of the Earth."

Gohan didn't say anything back as Dende closed his eyes.

"Now put your hand on my back."

Gohan shook his head as he placed his hand on Dende's back. Right when he did, Gohan could feel his father, just as if he was alive.

"Now all you have to do is talk, and he will hear."

"Dad can you hear me?"

Other World

Goku and Pikkon were sparring each other. Both at equal power, Goku was now a super saiyan two. Pikkon smiled.

"You have gotten better Goku."

Goku dropped his fighting stance as he looked at the green man.

"You have two."

~Dad can you hear me? ~

Goku looked up, it was Gohan. Goku looked over at Pikkon and put up his hand.

~Gohan, is that you? ~

Goku turned over to King Kai.

"Dende."

Goku shook his head as he looked up.

~I really need to talk you dad.~

Goku looked over at his friend, he wanted to spar. Goku signed.

~Gohan, can we talk another time. I'm in a middle of a spar and…~

Pikkon and King Kai looked over at Goku.

Earth

Gohan eyes lowered to the floor. Even his father didn't want to talk to him. In the old days he always made time to talk to his son. They use to talk about anything. A tear started to fell from Gohan's check.

Other World

"We can always spar later Goku."

Pikkon said as he looked at Goku. Goku smiled.

"Don't worry about it, Gohan will understand."

Goku waited for Gohan to say something, but nothing happen.

~I really need to get back to sparring son.~

~Go right ahead, I'll wouldn't brother you any more.~

A mental click went off.

Earth

Gohan took his hand off Dende's back.

"Gohan?"

Dende said as he turned around to look at his friend. Piccolo even walked closer to see what was wrong with his young friend.

"Are you okay?"

Piccolo said. Gohan looked back at his friend Piccolo. With tears in his eyes.

"Just fine."

Gohan took off in the air. Having Piccolo and Dende calling out his name.
