Though you don't know it now
Chapter 1: Be Strong, My Son
DISCLAIMER: I don't own DBZ ...sigh... if only...
"What a great day..." Gohan said to himself as he flew away from
Satan City, the location of Orange Star High School, with a smirk
on his face.
"Such nice people too, everyone seems so nice... like Erasa...
she's so... perky..."
A small giggled left his mouth. "Well maybe not Sharpner... I
think that guy is out to get me "
He closed his eyes for a moment and sighed... "I don't know...
what to think... about Videl... why do I feel so... so...
strange...? Even when she yelled at me when I crashed into her, I
could tell she was... different from everyone else." He smiled and
remembered that moment.
**FLASH BACK**
"I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR BIOLOGY!!!" Gohan yelled as he slammed his
locker and was about to make a run for the far away Biology Lab
when...CRASH!
"YOU IDIOT!! WATCH OUT!!" Videl screamed as she hit the floor
with a loud thud and dropped her books.
"I'm so sorry!" Gohan said as he took her hand and helped her up,
then gave her the classic Son family smile, rubbing the back of
his head.
"Oh, I'm sorry Gohan...I didn't realize that it was you..." Videl
answered with a warm smile, accepting his hand. Hey lifted her up
and they just stood there for a while, their faces were only
inches apart...
"I... better... get to Biology... before I'm late." Gohan said
nervously as he moved away from her and picked up her books off of
the floor.
"That's where I'm going too,come on!" Videl chimed as she grabbed
Gohan's arm. Gohan laughed as they started running through the
hall, carrying her books for her. He treasured that moment, though
he didn't know why.
**END FLASH BACK**
"What's wrong with me? I... I just met Videl... I... I can't...
lo... oh never mind..." He shrugged as he flew off into the
distance... In his head he knew that he really did love her. He
knew it when the instructor first introduced him to the class,
and she smiled at him. He felt as if he had always known her, it
was obvious when their eyes met, but he didn't know why, it
confused him, but it was such a wonderful feeling.
As Gohan flew close to his secluded home he suddenly felt a
shock... he didn't know what it was... sadness maybe? But it
wasn't about Videl, he figured that Videl couldn't make him feel
sad. He noticed that Goten hadn't come out and given him a big
hug. Goten always did that whenever Gohan came back from
anywhere. Then he remember that he was going to stay with Trunks
at Capsule Corp.
Slowly, he landed outside of the home and noticed that there was
no smoke coming from the chimeny. "Odd." he thought, his mom,
Chi Chi loved to cook and always had a fire going.
Gohan struggled to go in. He felt like he shouldn't take another
step toward the house, like he should just leave and not come
back. Somewhere inside of himself, he knew that if he were to go
inside, his life was going to be changed.
Gohan held is breath and opened the door. He was frozen. Chi Chi
was lying on the floor of the kitchen crying, holding her heart.
"MOM, ARE YOU OKAY?!" He screamed, looking his mother in the
eyes as he kneeled down near her.
"Gohan... I'm sorry... I didn't tell you..." Chi Chi wimpered in
a voice that leaked regret.
"What...? What are you talking about? DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT!?"
"I...I've contracted you father's heard disease."
"How...why wouldn't you tell me?"
"I'm sorry, I started showing signs of it about three years
after your father died. It went away and it just recently
started to hurt me again." Chi Chi breathed heavily and just
looked at her son's flooded eyes.
"I should have told you before Gohan, I'm sorry... I feel like
I've...abandoned you."
"NO MOM! I'LL JUST WISH THE HEART DISEASE AWAY WITH THE DRAGON
BALLS !"
Then there was a long ackaward silence. Chi Chi then started to
cry even more.Gohan knew what she was getting at. The silence
grew longer.
"Mom, I understand. I'll ask Bulma and Vegeta to take him in. I
know it's not exactly the life that you imagined for him, but he
would be happy and he would never have to struggle. Don't worry
though, I promise that I will take care of him as much as I
can!" A single tear fell down his cheek and landed on his
mother's.
"Gohan... I... I've ruined your life!" Chi Chi sobbed even more.
"No mom, I'll be okay. Remember life goes on! I'll study even
harder and I'll be a great professor! I'll live the life that
you've wanted for me... and that I have wanted for me! And..."
"What is it Gohan...?"
"I...I...I've fallen in love mom!" Gohan said as buried his head
in his mom's chest and gave her a hug. He was shocked at
himself, afterall, he and Videl had just met and just spoken for
a while... he was uncertain how she felt.
"Gohan..." Chi Chi was happy for her son. "That's so wonderf...
Why are you crying?" she interrupted herself, for she was sad to
her son sob so much.
Gohan's words came out quickly and slurred. "I wanted you to
meet her! You'd like her so much! She so pretty and smart!
She's the girl that you've imagined for me!"
Chi Chi closed her eyes. "Oh Gohan, I'm so proud of you, I know
that I've raised you right and that you will always be happy,"
She paused for a moment and smiled, then she tightened the
embrace. "And now I'M happy because I know that you won't be
alone. I Love you, Gohan!"
"I love you too mom." Gohan said with a smile
"I'M SO HAPPY! NOW I CAN FINALLY HAVE GRANDCHILDREN!" Chi Chi
said as she looked at her lifeless body and started dancing
around.
"I know Chi Chi, Isn't it great!
Chi Chi heard a voice in the distance.
"GOKU!!!"
