This is my first Dragonball Z story so it won't be as good as I wish it to be…..oh well, enjoy! XD

Peace…..Or So They Thought…..

------

"Hey mom! I'm going out, be back soon!" A gentle five year old voice yelled as he ran out the door and into the wild.

"WHAT!!!??? YOU"RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!! GET BACK HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!!" An angered rioting voice hollered back.

But the boy ignored it as he continued to run through the field of grass and grain; enjoying the gentle warm summer's breeze blowing through his slickly long black hair. He didn't want to be stuck in the house all day studying like usual.

An angry women about 26 years old wearing a pink and purple kimono with black hair put on a nice neat bun stepped out of the small cottage house. The expression on her face would drive even the bravest man away.

"GOHAN!!!! YOU BETTER COME BACK RIGHT NOW OR YOU"LL BE GROUNEDED!!!! YOU HEAR!!!!"

But he didn't even pay attention to his mother's threats. He wanted to be with his loving father over at Master Rohsi's having fun with all of their friends.

'Gosh, I can't wait to see everyone again!' He pondered to himself and smiled. 'I wonder how Krillin's been holding up…'

-----

"Hey guys!" An all too familiar voice sounded from outside an old white lake house that was out in the middle of the ocean. It had only a few selected visitors as it rested upon a lone island that a wise yet perverted man owned.

"Is, is that Goku?!" A blue haired pre-adult asked excitingly as she ran to the door with an old bald man with a white beard following close behind.

The one they call Krillin, who was rather short for his age (A little too short), looked up from his large grape soda and watched as his best friend walked in the door.

His long unusually styled black hair shined in the sun and his orange and blue outfit resembled the one Krillin was wearing. A large warm smile that barley escaped his lips was singing merrily with laughter.

Krillin smiled. 'That guy is always laughing about something.' He snickered to himself before raising his half gone drink in the air. "Hey Goku! You made it!" He laughed.

"Yep! It's been a couple of weeks since I last saw you all!"

"Where's Gohan? Did he come too?" Bulma asked as she closed the screen door for the young warrior.

Goku sighed sadly. "No, Chi-Chi wouldn't let him. You know how strict she is with him. But don't worry, he's coming!"

"Coming? But you just said-"

"Gohan will sneak away; he always does…"

-----

Gohan soon ran to the edge of a large tall cliff and smiled even wider. "WOOHOO!! HERE I COME!!!" He laughed before jumping off.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the air rushing at him; to him, he felt like he was free falling.

Chi-Chi ran to the edge to see her son falling and screamed in terror. "GOHAN!!!!"

She quickly looked down; face paled as her five year old boy fell ten stories.

When he was a foot from the ground, he opened his eyes and shot back up; but headed towards the long stretch of the ocean.

Chi-Chi watched as her son flew off in the distance; too shocked to do anything.

'Why does he ALWAYS do that to me?!!'

------

Gohan twirled in circles and touched the water with his hands as he flew on by. "I feel as free as a bird!" He laughed.

This pure hearted boy was so glad that the terrifying fight against the two merciless saiyans was over and they were now all at piece. But that day will always be with him; haunting him with what he saw and the pain he endured as he fought at the age of four. But that didn't matter at the moment. All he cared about was spending time with his brave friends he now called his family and his father that he lost once already; and he wasn't planning on losing him again.

That's when the memory flashed back:

'Gohan was crying in Radiz's space pod; hearing his father's agonizing screams. Every time he cried out, his heart cried out with him. Until…..SNAP!

He exploded in so much anger that he blasted himself out of the ship and attacked Radiz head on.

But the last thing he remembered was his father telling him to run before his vision went black. The next thing he remembered was being dropped in a lake by Piccolo; and he learned that his father had passed away as he sacrificed himself……'

A splash of cold water took him out of those saddening thoughts as a dolphin began swimming up on next to him.

"Oh hi there Mr. Dolphin! How are you today?" Gohan asked.

Both him and his father were friends with almost everything and everyone they meant. It was just their nature.

'This day is going to be perfect! Nothing but relaxing fun….' He told himself.

But he would soon learn that both him and his father are far more important as they realize as a dark enemy closes in; tracking the young boy as he went….
