Chapter 2 Its my party
Two months went and came quickly although Gohan thought it felt like he was back in the hyperbolic time chamber , every day felt like a year to him he was worried he`d die of old age before he had got to go to his new school his mother ignored these things knowing how teenagers over react to everything . The day before Gohan was to depart his mother threw him a party.
The day almost seemed to good to be true in Gohan`s eyes although he`d wish Piccolo would have shown. At the end of the day everyone gather around and handed out Gohan gifts to take with him.
first Bluma gave him a beautiful new expensive looking suit along with gold cuff links with a jade stone in the middle of each , upon inspection of his new suit he found around $20,000 in Canadian money " would`t think I'd let you go there without a little walking around money " Bluma said everyone there collectively laughed
except for Vegeta he had been barking at the demi saiyan to stop this foolishness and get back to training but after a dozen beers he had loosed up as much as he could at least, but was still not happy about the Gohan not training .
Next Roshi gave him a large trunk after giving Gohan this he hugged him and whispered in his ear about a secret compartment and how he had hidden Gohan`s true gift in there only saying that it was the best collection he could get him , Gohan chuckled this was not the first time the old hermit had giving him a collection and he did enjoy these gifts.
Yajirobe gave the boy a sack with 15 sensu beans "If they over work you take one of these kid it will fix you up right away , hopefully you won`t need them for anything else ." The fat little samurai said "HE BETTER NOT!" His mother shouted. Usually that tone it his mother's voice would scare him but he was to happy and surrounded by everyone he care for , almost everyone .
After that Krillin and 18 gave him a new smart phone, laptop and some popular cd and dvds this was great Gohan thought to himself , all the western kids have these things it was better than just the big bulky phone his mother was sending him off with . Roshi made a jab at Krillin saying that he was going to get Gohan some sexual electronic device but he didn`t want to share his wife. Hearing this 18 took a few jabs at the old man , and left him with a broken nose and two black eyes .
Everyone started laughing even Vegeta let out a small smile and a chuckle.
Yamcha was next he gave the young saiyan capsules with all new clothes. A large assortment of shoes, shirts, jeans , jackets , hoddies, jogging outfits , hats. all name brand .
Passing Tien , Yamcha confidently said "Good luck following that." The triclopes gave him a grin and gave the young boy his finale gift of the evening . A small cherry wood box was given to him, Gohan opened it up and the inside was made of orange velvet cushioning with blue stitching and sitting in the middle was a dragonball . "I found it while training ." Tien said Gohans eyes lit up when he seen what was inside then his eyes starting to well up when he studied the dragonball " It`s the four star ball, so it`s not really a gift because it belongs to you , it always will . I know it brings you great luck where ever you go Gohan as it did your father."
Gohan imminently hugged the z fighter tight and thanked him in a froggy voice as he was holding himself back from busting into tears although a few had found their way down his cheek ,
Everyone awed at this beautiful sight except Vegeta who was finishing off another beer and Yamcha who was upset. He wanted to beat Tien but was once again was bested by him even in gift giving
Tien found himself again beside his old friends Yamcha and Krillin and said in a cocky tone "You always save the best for last and the one before last no one remembers ." "Fuck you dude " the former desert bandit said chuckling " I`ll get you one day you watch ."Krillin interjected "yeah and maybe I`ll become 6`2 ". "one day, one day, one day, I`ve been hearing that from you since we was Gohan`s age face it that day is never coming." Tien said as the three of them shared in a laugh .
Around evening as the festivities was winding down as everyone was about to leave Gohan thanked all his guest for all the gifts. One by one they all departed, Although she wanted to stay longer Bluma left first she had to carry Vegeta to their flying car because he had gotten incredibly drunk , then Tien and chiaotzu wave bye as they flew away , Roshi caught a ride with Yajirobe as Krillin and 18 stood around to help clean up .
Finally when everything had been clean up in and around the Son house 18 and Chi Chi went inside while Krillin and Gohan took a walk outside.
"Thank you again for the presents Krillin oh and tell 18 thank you as well." Gohan said. Krillin responded don`t worry bout it man, beside me and 18 have recently … come into some money." "Yeah all my mom gets me is books or something to help further my education." "Do you like all that stuff Gohan?" Krillin curiously asked "yeah I do I know my dad and Vegeta love fighting but that`s just not the way I am , I know I good at fighting." "Good? No you were great better than almost everyone in the world, no the universe!" Krillin asserted.
Gohan sat down on under a large tree he looked up to admire the way the moonlight shown through the leafs and branches something so simple yet is easily taken for granted."That's what drove them , but art , history , math , science , all that . That what drives me , fighting was just something I had to do .
Krillin sat beside him " hey kid whatever makes you happy …speaking of happy" he reached behind him a pulled out two beers , and handed one to the young boy "I`m only fifteen ." Gohan nervously said looking around him worrying his mother would appear out of nowhere and catch him . "don't worry beside let`s face it you haven`t been little kid a since frieza, now drink you're a man , just don't tell you mother or she`ll kill me … I`m not joking she scares the shit out of me even more than cell."Gohan laughed causing him to spill some of the beer "Oh shit!" They both said but couldn`t help but laugh.
"You best be careful with that your mother will smell that all over you Gohan" a deep voice said from out of nowhere then floating down from amongst the trees was a tall green alien with a white turban along with white shoulder pads attached with a cape. "PICCOLO!" Gohan shouted. He was ecstatic to see his old sensei and friend "I didn`t think you were coming."
"I`m not one much for parties and such, but I would let you go without stopping to see you be you leave " the namekian said in his deep grizzled voice."And besides I couldn`t let you leave without this. He stretched out his hand to the ground in front of his former pupil and with a shout he did what looked like a ki blast but when it was done a stack of gi`s , blue training wrist bands and two pairs of boots laid before Gohan . They were the same gi`s he made Gohan when he was younger matching Goku`s but with Piccolo`s symbol on the back.
"In case you want to train at the place you're going or if you ever wanted to come see me and get back into fighting shape."
Gohan smiled and thanked his sensei and said "maybe I`ll take you up on that." 18 shouted into the woods "Krillin are you ready to go?! Marron is getting cranky I think she tired and wants to lay down in her crib, and beside she`s not the only one that`s tired !"
Krillin stood up brushed the dirt off his pants and said " Yeah that`s my que guy`s . you should get inside to Gohan it`s starting to get late." Gohan protested wanting to stay out to spend more time with Piccolo but Piccolo agreed with Krillin saying " you don't want to oversleep and have this be all for nothing but if you ever need to speak with me you know where to find me ." "Ditto and don`t worry about stopping by we`ll always have time for you Gohan "
Gohan was comforted by their kind words . Piccolo then waved goodbye as he flew off and Gohan and Krillin did that same Gohan then picked up the bundle of clothes Piccolo had given him and Krillin grabbed the boots both were surprised at the weight of the clothing they were much heavier then any weighted clothes they had worn before .
Krillin shook Gohan`s hand and 18 gave him a small kiss on the cheek and both wished him luck before they left. Sometime later Gohan lay in his bed trying to rest… rest? He thought to himself how? tomorrow is the start of me being on my own , I`ll be making friends , meeting girls , maybe finally be challenged my his studies the young half saiyan natively thought but not thinking that this would be easier than anything else in his life to that point , what he would soon find out is it would be one of the most difficult things he`d face and maybe ever more.
