We Belong Together
Here am I again. This chapter may suck but I promise it gets better. Please read and review.
Chapter 1
The sun was shining through the white clouds. You could tell it would be a warm day, even though it was only 8 o'clock. Gohan had just gotten up. He was looking through the window when his younger brother came into the kitchen.
"Morning Gohan."
"Good morning Goten." He took a sip of his coffee. "Is mom already up?"
"Yes she is. She's in the bedroom with Yamcha."
Gohan sighed. Four years and he still hadn't got used to it. He never thought his mother would ever get married to another man. And to his dad's friend!
"I feel the same way brother."
The eighteen year old boy looked down at his brother. He was only seven yet he was very mature sometimes.
"Yeah. I wish dad didn't die."
"What was he like, brother?"
"That's right. You never met him."
Gohan took another sip of his drink before making his way to the living room. Goten followed him closely. The older brother reached over the shelf to pick up a picture frame that was turned down. He was sure it was one of his demands when he moved in. Of course his mother would accept it, she was already head over heels for him. Both Gohan and Goten tried to protest against it, but Chi-Chi just threatened to ground them for the whole month. So they just had to live with it. The picture on the frame was taken by their grandfather, the Ox King, at a stroll in the park. Gohan remembered that day quite well.
It was a typical summer day. The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky. Goku and Chi-Chi were holding hands while they walked through the park. Gohan, who was eight at the time, was curiously looking at the animals he came across with.
"Gohan sweetie, let's go. You don't want to get left behind, do you?" His mother called.
"I'm going!"
"You need to pay more attention to us, son. I'm telling you one day you'll be forgotten here."
"Goku!"
"What?"
"Nothing. Your father is right darling."
"I know. I know."
They kept on walking until they found a fountain. Gohan ran to it.
"Mom, dad, look!"
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes it is."
"Dad, you should take a picture of us there."
"Alright."
"Come Goku." Chi-Chi pulled him by the hand. "We never took a picture in front of a fountain before."
"Chi-Chi calm down." Goku protested. "What's the big deal anyway?"
"Come on! It will be fun!"
Chi-Chi grabbed Goku's other hand and leaned against him once they were settled. She released his hands and they embraced her by the waist.
"Are we good?"
"Yes dad, take the picture"
"Say cheese."
Gohan smiled. Things would be way easier if his mother would have just waited for his dad.
"Wow Gohan, you seem to know many stories about dad."
"I do, after all I spent eleven years with him."
"Ohh."
Gohan laughed. "But I'm sure you'll meet him soon. He doesn't like staying in the same place for a long time. I'm surprised he hasn't come to see us yet."
Goten was about to speak when he heard steps coming in their direction.
"Good morning guys."
"Good morning Yamcha." The brothers said at the same time.
"Goten, are you ready? We are gonna be late for class."
"Yes! I'm ready, big brother."
"Alright, so go get your stuff. I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Okay!"
"I gotta say, these outfits Bulma made rock!"
"They really do."
"You were so jealous of it Goten, that you had to ask her to make one for you as well."
"I wanted to look as cool as you do."
Gohan couldn't help but laugh.
"If you say so."
"You know you do."
"Hey Goten!"
"Huh?" Goten looked down. "It's Trunks!"
"Where?"
"Just search for the gray hair."
Trunks is Bulma and Vegeta's son, there's no way you can't notice it. He has his father's personality yet he looks like his mother.
"Vegeta is here with him?" Gohan said as he and Goten landed.
"Of course I am, idiot. Bulma forced me to come cause it's the first day of class."
"Right."
"I hate first days. They suck."
"What were you two doing flying in front of everybody?"
"No one saw us. We had a disguise."
"Whatever. People can't find out about us, you heard me?"
"Yes, I heard you."
"Good."
"Look Goten, I think we should leave them alone."
"Yeah I think so too."
"Are you excited about today?"
"I am. New teacher, new class, new people. I hope we are in the same class again."
"You always get excited at everything."
"Not true. You're the one who's always down to earth, or whatever."
"I am not."
"Yes you are."
"Whatever."
"So how was your first day at school?"
"It was great! The teacher is so much funny Gohan!"
"I'm glad you liked it. But then again, you've always liked going to school. You're so weird."
Goten stuck his tongue out at his brother. "So how was your day?"
"Good, I guess. I had to put up with Videl again, and it's only the first day! I'm telling you she hates me."
"More like she loves you."
"Shut up!"
"Why don't you just tell her you like her?"
"It's not that easy. Can we not talk about it though? It's bad enough I have to deal with her at school."
"Okay."
"So Bulma wants me to go over the Capsule Corp."
"Did something happen?"
"I have no idea. Do you want to come over with me?"
"Yeah sure."
"Bulma! Bulma!"
"Oh hey guys!"
"What happened? You sounded nervous on the phone."
"I did? Oh! It's not a huge thing actually. I just wanted to talk to you."
"I see. Well, what's up?"
"Well I wanted to know your opinion about your mom."
"With Yamcha, you mean?"
"Yeah." Bulma still wasn't over it, though she tried to convince herself otherwise. "I assume that's not exactly a pleasant situation for both of you."
"You're right. It's not." Gohan sighed. "But there's nothing we can do really."
"That's a tricky thing."
"Yeah."
"I don't like him, Gohan."
"Goten."
"I want dad to be with mom."
"I-."
"Don't worry about it."
"Dad?"
"Gohan, it's been a really long time."
"I can't believe it's actually you."
"Goku, oh my god!"
"Bulma, hey! How's everyone doing?"
"Great."
"Listen Gohan. I only have a few minutes. I wanted to tell you I am coming back. I'm not sure when or where yet. I can't wait to see you again. God you must be all grown up now. Tell your mother I'm looking forward to seeing her. Goodbye."
"Dad! Dad!"
"Gohan, that was…" Goten asked.
"Yes, that was dad Goten."
"Is he coming back?"
"Apparently."
"For good?"
"I don't know. I hope so." Gohan stroke his brother's hair, just like how your father did to him. "We need to go Goten."
"Okay."
"Tell Chi-Chi I said hi."
"Will do."
"Bye Trunks, Bulma."
"See you soon Goten."
"Mom, we're home."
"What took you guys so long? Dinner has been ready for about one hour and half!"
"Chi-Chi, why don't we have some s… oh you two arrived."
"You wanted to screw my mother while we were away?"
"Goten, watch your mouth!"
"Forgive my brother Yamcha. Sometimes he gets moody, you know it."
"Don't worry about it. I know it must be hard for him."
"Just wait til my father is ba-."
"Goten, shut up! You have to take shower before dinner."
"Fine!"
"I have no idea what's up with him today."
"He's just frustrated, that's all. He's having a hard time accepting that we're together."
"You need to control your temper Goten."
"But Gohan."
"We don't agree with mom's decision but we have to respect it. Plus dad is coming back again. I doubt she will resist him."
"And while he doesn't, we'll have to put up with this?"
"That's right."
"Ugh."
"That won't last long though. I promise."
"If you say so."
"I need your help now."
"With what?"
"We have to bring mom and dad close again. They can't be away from each other."
"And how are we gonna do that?"
"I have a plan."
"I'm listening."
"Bulma, when will the dinner be ready?"
"It has for a while now. You'd know if you paid more attention to what's going on in the house."
"Why would I do that? That's why you're here."
"Shut up."
"You know you can't be mad at me at all."
"Sure I can"
"No you can't."
"Shut up Vegeta!"
"All these two do is fight. Seriously."
"What are you doing here mister?"
"Oh mom, I…I…"
"Shower. Now."
"But mom…"
'No buts Trunks."
"Ugh! Fine!"
"So that's your plan?"
"Yep."
"Alright. You still haven't told me how we are going to make it work though."
"It's very simple actually. We're gonna need Krillin's help."
"You know he can't stick to a plan till the end."
"Well he'll have to this time. It's for a very good reason."
"That's true."
"Gohan, Goten. What are you two doing up so late?"
"Sorry mom, we're just going to bed.
"And stop talking so loud!"
"Okay."
"Good night."
"Night."
"They're still up?"
"Yeah. I think they are planning something."
"They're just chatting. Let them do it. It's good."
"You're right."
Yamcha leaned over Chi-Chi.
"And now, I can have you only for me."
"Yamcha!" She said with a smile.
"I love you Chi-Chi."
"What?"
"I know this seems sudden, but it's something I've been meaning to say for quite a while now."
"I don't know what to say."
"You can say I love you too."
Chi-Chi bit her lip.
"But if you're not ready I can understand it."
She looked away. Her gaze fell on the picture over the chest of drawers. She frowned.
"I love you too, Goku"
"What?"
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along"
