Introduction: Hi, I wanted to write a story mainly involving Goku and his family. I have not seen the episode where Goku returns home and so I decided to write this. It could have happened this way.

Goku Returns

By: LA Suka

His mom prided her self for being such a good teacher. She reminded him every day how important his studies where. He was going to become a brilliant scientist or doctor and to do that, he had to study constantly. He hardly had time to do anything else! His mom would gladly do all the chores so that he could study. That was the price for being a genius. Gohan stared out his window at the trees swaying in the gentle breeze and sighed. He thought about sneaking out of his window but immediately reconsidered it. The last time he had done that his mother found out and grounded him for a week. He looked down at his algebra book and closed it after marking his place.

He was exhausted and his brain felt like yesterdays left over scrambled eggs. If he looked at one more algebra problem he was going to puke. He couldn't think straight any more and his eyes were blurred. He'd been at it for four hours straight! He laid his weary head down on top of his algebra book and closed his eyes. He just wanted to rest his eyes for a couple of minuets.

He woke up when he heard his mom call him for diner. He'd fallen asleep and it was now dark outside. How long had he been asleep? His stomach growled and he could smell the roast stew his mom had made. His mouth watered and he could already taste it. "Coming mom!" Gohan shouted jumping from his seat.

"Don't run in the house Gohan!" Chichi scolded as Gohan came charging into the kitchen like a hungry bull. "Sorry mom I'm just so hungry and it smells so good!" Gohan hugged his mom and sat down.

Chichi smiled and set the bowls down onto the table. "Before you sit down young man you have to help me set the table." Gohan groaned and got up. His stomach growled disapprovingly.

He walked into the kitchen to the silverware drawer when he saw the Topsy-Turvy Pineapple Cake sitting on top of the counter. It looked so good and he just wanted a taste. His finger didn't make it very far though before it was slapped. "No Gohan, you'll spoil your diner!"

"But mom…" He whined shaking his sore finger. "No buts Gohan. You're as bad as your father. Now hurry up before the stew gets cold."

"Hey, what did I do?" Chichi and Gohan spun around at the familiar voice. "Dad! Your home!" Gohan cried forgetting all about the cake. The glass Chichi had been holding slipped from her fingers and shattered on the floor. She stared at her husband standing in the door way. "Goku?" She whispered. She didn't know whether to believe her eyes or not. She'd dreamed about this moment so many times. Dreamed that he had finally returned home to her and Gohan only to wake up. She'd spent so many lonely nights crying into her pillow wondering what he was doing and when he would finally return home.

Goku held up his arms and smiled. "Honey, I'm home!"

Goku ran to his father and jumped into his arms. "Daddy!" Goku hugged his son back and swung him around in the air like he always use to do. They were both laughing.

"Oh I missed you so much Gohan! You've grown so much!" Goku said hugging his son tighter.

"I've missed you too daddy." Gohan buried his face against his dad chest and cried. Chichi was still staring at him across the kitchen. Goku slowly put his son down and walked up to his wife.

They stood there staring at each other without speaking. Chichi shook her head in disbelief. "It can't be you. It's just a dream again isn't it?" She whispered looking into his blue eyes hoping for any sign that she was wrong. But he grabbed her and hugged her tightly. No figment of her imagination would feel so real and so good. She broke down into sobs and collapsed in his arms. Goku picked her up and carried her to the couch in the living room.

"Mom are you ok?" She heard the worried voice of her son ask. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.

"Oh Gohan, I just dreamed your father finally returned home." She cried and then gasped as Goku leaned over her.

"Oh Chichi, I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Please forgive me." He held her hand. It was shaking pretty badly. He bent down and kisses it. She just stared at him again and then just started laughing historically.

"Goku! Oh god Goku! You really are real!" She cried. "Come here!" She grabbed him and pulled him down for a kiss. He kissed her back. It was the most passionate kiss they'd ever shared.

Diner was forgotten for once and it now sat on the table cold. Goku scooped his wife up off the couch with his great big strong arms and spun her around. Chichi laughed harder than she'd laughed in a very long time. She missed him so much and longed for this moment for so long. Gohan jumped and danced by his parents also laughing harder than he'd laughed in a long time.

"HAAA HAHAHA! I'm going to call everyone and tell them the good news!" Gohan laughed running to the phone but Goku and Chichi both stopped laughing and looked at Gohan.

"No, not yet Gohan!" They both shouted at the same time. Gohan put the receiver back down smiling.

"Oh I understand." Gohan said laughing and turned to the door going outside. "I'll just leave you guys alone for a little while." He said and was out the door in a flash.

Goku and Chichi grinned at each other madly. Goku smiled mischievously at his wife. His eyes looked over her body hungrily. Chichi blushed and ran her finger down his bare chest beneath his shirt. "Oh, I forgot how good that felt." Goku said with a gasp. Chichi ran her fingers through his hair with her other hand and he shivered.

He couldn't take it any more. The smell of her perfume. The way she was touching him. He slung her over his shoulder playfully like a fish he had just caught and ran into their bed room. Chichi couldn't help but laugh as he gently threw her onto the bed.

Goku strolled over to the radio and put in the tape "Wild Thing". Chichi laughed harder. Goku strolled back in front of Chichi and started dancing and singing the song. Before she knew it, he'd stripped off all his cloth. Chichi gasped at the sight in front of her.

She motioned him forward with her finger.
