Chapter 1: Blind
Sleep.
The young demi-Saiyan loved it.
For Gohan it was the best thing in the world that made a difference in his busy daily routine
Train. Eat. Sleep. Train. Eat. Sleep.
But unfortunately, it doesn't last forever.
And, today, was a Monday
School had been closed for a holiday today so no school, for it was a three day weekend
"GOHAN! WAKE UP ITS TIME FOR YOU TO GET UP AND TRAIN!" His mother's voices blared in his highly sensitive ears
Oh yeah, Gohan just remembered that he was supposed to get up and train today with videl later
Damn it
Gohan mumbled as he rolled over and fell off his bed, almost hitting his head on his nightstand next to his bed and made a loud THUMP!
It was rainbow colored
And his mom picked it out for him
FLASHBACK:
"But mom!" Gohan whined as he saw his mother looking at a rather ugly piece of furniture that, to his horror was rainbow colored
"No but's Gohan, you need something more colorful in you room and you need a nightstand in your room" she told him
Chi chi handed Gohan the multicolored nightstand and put it in the shopping cart.
END FLASHBACK
DOWNSTAIRS
"Goku, sweetie, will you go wake up Gohan for me?" chi chi asked Goku
The man in question picked up his head from his food.
"s'fure cfhi chi" Goku said with noodles hanging out of his mouth and got up and walked up the stairs to wake up his sleeping son
Goku opened Gohan's door to find him on the floor sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"Son? Are you okay? Your mother and I heard a loud noise coming from your room" Goku said as he flipped on the light switch
"Dad? Is that you? I can't see you"
Gohan was sure that his eyes were open but all he could see was blackness.
Empty and darkness
What the hell was going on?
Gohan looked around trying to focus on something, and then he remembered that nightstand that his mother bought him.
Looking for it and failing
Not even a single trace of light anywhere.
"ha ha, this is so funny dad, now put the lights on"
Goku was confused.
The lights WERE on.
Then Goku got the worst feeling in the pit of his stomach.
'What should I do?'
Goku walked up to his son, kneeled then put his hand on Gohan's shoulders.
Looking into his son's eyes Goku said "Gohan" Goku paused "the lights ARE on"
Gohan laughed "yeah right, come on dad quit playing and put the lights on"
Goku's eyes got wide as the feeling in Goku's stomach just got a lot heavier.
Tears began to form in his eyes.
His son cannot be blind.
He only has two more months of school left and then he graduates
"Gohan" Goku pauses again "stay here let me get your mother"
DOWNSTAIRS
"chi chi! Its Gohan…he's…" Goku didn't even need to finish as chi chi rushed up the stairs and to her son
UPSTAIRS
Chi chi slammed open the door as she saw what Goku saw, Gohan sitting on the floor rubbing his eyes frantically.
"OH MY POOR BABY! WHATS WRONG!" chi chi practically screamed as she rushed to sit on the floor in front of gohan, taking his face in her hands
"Mom? Is that you? Where are you?" gohan asked
"Im right here, sweetie, im right in front of you" chi chi said tears streaming down her eyes
"I-I can't see you mom, I can't see anything" gohan said still trying to find his parents
"Goku?" chi chi turned to Goku who was standing there "do you think-"
He nodded
"No!" chi chi yelled
"Mom? Am- am I blind?" gohan asked
"No! You are not blind sweetie! You are perfectly fine!" chi chi says, now deeply afraid for his son's life "Goku get Dr. Grant on the phone now!"
He nodded as he ran down the stairs and got the home phone by the couch downstairs and hurried to punch in the number for the doctor.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Hello?"
"Yes, doctor Grant? I need you here right now, it's an emergency"
"Okay I'll be right there" the doctor said as he quickly hung up and rushed over to the Son's house
UPSTAIRS
Gohan heard the sound of his father's footsteps leaving.
Gohan knew it.
He WAS blind.
"Don't worry sweetie you'll be fine, your father is getting Dr. Grant to come" his mother assured him
"Okay mom" gohan said already giving up hope, he knew he was blind and so did they so why would they try to help when there was no known cure for blindness
DOWNSTAIRS
Goku waited impatiently by the front door
DING DO-
Goku didn't even let the doorbell finish as he yanked open the door and pulled the good doctor in.
Evan Grant. The guy makes you think of a busy bee. He has wide brown eyes that are like two splotches of mud. His luxurious, curly, cream-colored hair is worn in a style that reminds you of the aurora borealis. He's got a small beard and a moustache. He has a thin build. His skin is ruddy. He has delicate ears. His wardrobe is professional and mysterious, with a completely black color scheme.
"Hello, Dr. Grant"
"Hello Mr. Son, what the problem?"
"It's my son, gohan, he- he woke up and told me that he couldn't see"
"Don't worry Goku, now, where is your son?" grant asked
"Upstairs, follow me" Goku lead the way while grant followed up to his son's room
UPSTAIRS
Gohan heard the door open and close as he felt his father and the doctor come in.
"Hello, Mrs. Son, gohan" Grant said in an upbeat tone
"Oh doctor! Can you please help my poor baby?" chi chi said as she rushed to her husband's side
"I'll try Chi chi" he reassured her
Doctor grant at down in front of gohan and laid his brief case by his side and opened it while he shuffled around to find his light.
"Ah, here it is, now gohan I want you to look straight ahead and try to follow the light with your eyes and don't move your head, okay?"
Gohan nodded, already knowing that he will fail
The doctor turned the light on and moved it in front of Gohan's face.
Gohan wasn't doing very well, first he couldn't see it at all and second his parents crying was absolutely destroying his faith that he will be better.
After the doctor preformed a couple of exercises on gohan he packed up his stuff and turned to Gohan's parents.
"Mr. and Mrs. Son, I can tell if it is permanent or not, it might go away in a day, a week, a month, a year, or it might be permanent" Goku and chi chi's hope dropped "but do not despair for he will probably be okay, so far none of the blind cases have been permanent"
The broken pair's faces lit up
"Thank you so much doctor!" chi chi said to him
"You're welcome" he said as he left the room and out of the house
Once he was gone Gohan's parents rushed over to gohan
"Did ya hear that gohan? You're going to be fine!" Goku said happily
"Oh my baby!" chi chi just sat there squeezing the life out of poor gohan
"mom-!" gohan got out
"Oh sorry gohan!" chi chi released her grasp on gohan
