Chapter 1 The Next Generation

16 years after the events of A Forbidden Love, Goku, Pan, and their children, Goku jr. and Aimi have enjoyed a peaceful live. Goku and Pan, now having become middle-aged, have watched their kids grow from little todlers to full fledged adults (well, one of them at least). Despite Goku not really caring about education, he did push his kids to go to school and eventually to go get a job if they are going to live on their own. Goku jr, now 21 years old, already graduated from Orange Star Highschool. Aimi, now 16 years old, is in her first year of OSH. However, she seems to be having the same problems as her mother had, all those years ago.

OSH is going to have a prom for the first-year students, and like her mother, Aimi has made all the boys afraid of her due to her strength. With nobody wanting to go with her, she insist to just stay home the night of the prom. She was watching TV in her room when Pan called out to her.

''Aimi, can you come here for a moment.''

''Huh? Yeah sure, I'm coming.'' Aimi said walking down the stairs. ''What's up?''

''If I remember correctly, Aimi, you have a promnight to go to soon. Shouldn't you go and buy a nice dress or something?''

''No, mom, I'm not going.'' Aimi said with a angry tone.

''Why not, sweetheart?'' Pan asked worried.

''Because... because... nobody wants to go with me. Everyone, everyone is scared of me.''

''Because of your strength, right?''

''Huh? Y-yes'' Aimi said surprised. ''How did you know that?''

Pan laughed. ''It's because I had the exact same problem when I had to go to prom so many years ago. Every boy was afraid of me. Deathly afraid. They didn't even want me to touch them with one finger. They were so scared they thought they might break a bone by just touching me. Heh, those were the days.''

''But... you said you met dad at school, right? So there at least one boy who went with you.''

Pan just kept staring at Aimi and thought to herself: ''Oh my child, if you only knew.''Pan then started to think for a solution for Aimi as she didn't want her child to miss her first promnight. ''Well, all I know is that you're going for sure. This isn't something you should miss.'' Pan said with determination in her voice.

''But with who... I told you, nobody wants to go with me.''

Pan kept thinking long and hard, until she got a call from Goku jr. Goku and Goku jr. were going out doing groceries, but they forgot the list Pan made for them. ''Urgh, you boys, always so forgetful. I expect this from your father, but I always thought you had a better memory, Goku jr. Well, like father, like son, I guess.'' Pan sighed.

''Hahahahha, yeah I guess so. Anyways, could you make a picture of it?''

''Hold on a sec. I still haven't found it. You sure you don't have it, cuz I... oh never mind I have it. I'll just make a picture and press send.''

''Okay, thanks mom. We'll be back in a few minutes.''

''Alright son. Bye.'' ''Sometimes I wonder if they have a brain, you know that.'' Pan sighed. Then Pan came up with a idea. ''Hey, Aimi, what do you say if your brother could go with you?''

''Me? With Goku? But he's my brother. I can't go with him. Then I'd rather stay home.''

''Oh come on. Be honest with yourself. You know you don't wanna stay home. And let's be real here, if Goku is not going with you, you can kiss your promnight goodnight.''

''But... but he's my brother... Do you know what the others will say if I show up there with my brother. They already think I'm weird. If I go with Goku they will think I'm a freak.''

''Do you really care so much about what other think of you? It's not like you're going to do anything weird. You show up dance for a couple of hours, eat a bit, and then you come back home.''

''Dancing with my brother is bad enough. Never mind, I'm not going. And besides, I don't think Goku wants to go with me either.'' Just then Goku and Goku jr. appeared in front of them with Instant Transmission.

''Well, let's see what you're brother has to say about it.'' Pan said crossing her arms.

''No, please, mom, don't even ask him.''

''Ask me what?'' Goku jr asked curiously.

''Well, you see Goku, Aimi has a promnight in a few days, but due to her strength, all the boys are afraid of her so she has nobody to go with. And she really, really wants to go.''

Goku might not be the brightest person but even he knew where this was going. His son on the other hand, still didn't have a clue what Pan was going to ask him. ''Okay, but what was it that you needed to ask me?'' Aimi facepalmed.

Pan sighed. ''I'm asking you, as her older brother, to go with her to her promnight. I know it is a bit of a weird thing to ask of you, but you'd really help your sister out. And it's just for a few hours and then you come back home and move on. How does that sound?''

''Please say no, please say no, please say no.'' Aimi was repeating the same sentence over and over again in her head, but...

''Yeah, sure. Why not.'' Aimi stared in awe due to Goku jrs response. Never in a million years did she expect him to say yes. ''It's just for a few hours, so why not?''

''But... we're siblings... we can't go together.'' Aimi said trying to get herself out of this.

''So, who cares. You have nobody to go with, right? And I don't think you want to go alone or stay home, right?

''Uh...uh,... no... I do want to go...'' ''But you're my brother. I can't imagine what the others are going to think of me?''

''Why are you so worried about what the other students think of you? You're only going there to have some fun, nothing else.'' Goku jr said with a stern voice.

''Y-yeah I guess you're right. But... do you really want to go. I mean, these things are kinda boring to you, right?''

''Well I remember my first prom. I was mainly eating. But otherwise it was a bit boring yeah.'' Goku jr paused for a moment. ''But If I have to go to give my sister a fun first promnight, then why the hell not. At least I can eat, and I can make sure you have a enjoyable night.'' Goku jr said with that regconizable Son-grin.

''Well... o-okay then.'' Aimi said with a soft voice.

''Well then it's settled. You're going with your brother, Aimi. Now come on. We need to buy you a nice dress. And you, mister, do you still have your tuxedo?''

''I still have him yes. But I guess the question would be if it still fits on not.'' Goku jr laughed.

''Well, get it out of your closet and put it on to see if it fits, otherwise you need to come with us.''

''Okay, mom.''

Goku couldn't help but feel history is about to repeat itself. ''Hey, Pan is it really a good idea to let them go together? I mean... you know what happened with us, right?''

''I'm fairly certain they don't feel what we feel for each other. It'll be okay.'' Goku still couldn't help but feeling a bit worried about all this, but Pan seemed to be okay with it so he just shrugged.

''I can't believe he really wants to go with me. I'm still a little worried though. What will my classmates think of me, showing up with my older brother on my promnight? Wait, I shouldn't worry about that. All I know is that Goku is going with me and he says he is going to make sure I'm going to have a fun night.'' Aimi was drifting away in thoughts for a while, thinking about her and Goku jr showing up at the prom. She noticed her face going completely red. ''Oh man, the thought of it alone is embarrasing enough, but whatever, at least I won't have to stay home.''
