"Get out goku!!!" Chichi yelled at her husband as she sung
the door open very angrily.

Goku really didn't know why she was mad at him, he hadn't
done anything. Then again that was most likely just it.

"Oh, come on Chichi-"

"Goku, I need sometime alone and you are just getting in my
way!!"

Goku figured it was best if he left for awhile to give Chichi
some space. He slowly started to walk to the door dragging his
feet along the way. When he was beside Chichi, who was standing
next to the door, he stopped and turned to her and gave her the
saddest, most pleading expression he could muster. But she just
closed her eyes, tilted her head up, and extended her arm to point
outside. Goku got the point and slowly walked out of the house
still dragging his feet and starring at the ground. When he was
outside the door frame Chichi slammed the door so hard that it
made Goku shudder.

He looked at the door, hopeing Chichi would suddenly open
it and fall into his arms crying and asking for his forgiveness. But
she never did. Goku put his hands in his pockets starred at the
ground and started to walk away from the house. Away from
Chichi.

Goku had been walking along the side of the road for about 2
hours, but he wasn't thinking about the time. He was mainly
thinking about what he done to make Chichi so mad, and how he
could apologize to her. When he finally looked up he could see
the city in the far distance up ahead, to his left was the forest, and
to his right was a small hill with an old oak tree on top that was so
tall its shadow fell upon him. There also was a large boulder on
the hill, about 5 feet away from the oak tree, with 4 or 5 smaller
boulders around it.

Goku decided he didn't really want to walk into the city or
the forest, so he started to walk up the hill.

"Might as well rest a bit." Goku said to himself as he layed
down on the ground with his head against the old oak tree, facing
the opposite way of the road.

The view from on top of the hill was very beautiful. In front
of him was a wide open field which stretched all the way to the
shimmering sea and on the side of the field was the forest with all
sorts of shades of green and brown. Goku was a little amazed at
how the open field suddenly stopped and the dark, thick forest
stood like a border to it.

Goku starred at it for awhile then tilted his head up to stare at
the large branches of the old oak tree, with little rays of sun
pealing through.

He started to think about his life and all the adventures he's
had. He thought about the day he meet bulma and learned about
the dragonballs then going with her to find them. He remembered
all the friends and enemies they meet along the way. He then
thought about when he first meet Chichi, they're wedding, and
when Gohan was born. He remembered all the good and not so
good times in his life then about the up and coming battle with
Cell.

"wow, I never realized how much I've been through....."
Goku said to himself. Then he remembered how the large open
field so suddenly ended, bordered by the thick forest.

"I wonder if life is like the field, will it one day just suddenly
end with out warning?" Goku thought about what he said. He
wasn't afraid of death, he had experienced it before, but what if he
could never see his friends and family again, or what if something
happened to Chichi or Gohan? He didn't want to think about that.
Goku thought about how much he didn't want to lose to Cell in the
Cell games not to prove how powerful he is, but so he could come
home to Chichi and not have to leave her again.

Goku stood up and dusted himself off glanced at the sunset
then started to walk down the hill. He stopped after a few steps
looked back at the field and forest again, smiled and began to walk
back home, back to Chichi.
