Author's Note: This fanfiction has been collecting dust for two years now and I felt it time to bring it out of the closet. I watched Disney's 'The Lion King' and something came into my mind saying that an alternate universe could exist just like that for DBZ. The chapters are short, the grammar is bad, but tell me what you think.
Chapter 1:
It was exactly three months since Goku returned from his voyage in space after defeating Frieza. All was going just as the series had planned it to, except for two things. Bulma and Vegeta aren't together yet. With no distractions at all, Vegeta got more and more determined to kill Goku and was less trusted by most. Secondly, Piccolo isn't that close to Gohan. Yes, he isn't his evil self because of training the four year old Gohan when Vegeta came to attack the Earth. However, there is no Future Trunks to tell about the androids so Piccolo doesn't train with Goku and Gohan to fight the androids.
Goku, on the other hand, was more interested in spending time with his family. Training Gohan to become even stronger, and teaching his kin about everything he knew. About what the Earth means to him, and what the Earth should mean to everyone.
"Earth is no one's to control," Goku said, "Everything that lives on Earth is a free spirit, the way it should always be. That's why we protect it. To keep the peace."
"Even protect Vegeta?" Gohan asked.
"Yes, even him. He's not that bad, and I have to repay him for saving you."
"Ya, I guess you're right."
Gohan has since respected Vegeta a little bit more, and even decided to pay him some visits from time to time.
"Hey, Vegeta, what's up?" Gohan asked one day.
"Shut up kid," Vegeta answered, obviously in a bad mood.
"Oh come on, Vegeta. Can't you ever be in a good mood?"
Vegeta got an idea, grinned, and answered, "Yes. You know, I heard a rumor about the dragon radar fixed. Why don't you go and get a wish granted? Anything you would ever want, and all you have to do is steal the radar."
"I don't know, Vegeta. Stealing is wrong. I couldn't take it."
"No, I'll get it for you. It's not stealing when you live in the exact same house."
"But, I can't go alone. And my mom will be so worried…"
"Simple, take that pig guy with you. Or that dwarf. You don't have to go alone. Besides, what's to worry about?"
"Well, I guess I can go ask Krillin to come with me."
"There's a good lad, now just give me a few minutes and the radar will be yours," Vegeta disappeared, walking in the direction of Bulma's room to get the radar for little Gohan.
Vegeta gave Gohan the dragon radar, and saw Gohan out the door. Gohan flew towards the Hermit Turtle place to find Krillin and Oolong. They agreed to go with him and they set off to find the dragon balls.
