The sun was beginning to rise above the horizon, as the teen began to stir. A moment later the Saiyan hybrid's eyes flew open just as his stomach let out a loud growl. Sitting up, Gohan let out a yawn nearly as loud as his stomach growled.
"I guess going to bed without eating first was a bad idea." Gohan laughed, as his stomach growled again.
Climbing out of bed, the teen half-breed threw on his old purple gi, with a red, long sleeved undershirt, before heading downstairs. Once downstairs, the smell of pancakes and syrup took over his nose. Following the smell, Gohan got a big surprise as he walked into the kitchen.
Sitting on the table in front of him was a giant pile of pancakes completely covered in syrup. There was so many pancakes that they could feed a small army of men, which caused Gohan to smile.
"I hope you're hungry, Sweetheart" Chi-Chi called to her eldest son, from behind the large stack, "Because these are all of you, since Goten isn't here."
The eldest Son boy nodded before taking a seat at the table, but once he was seated his mind was no longer focused on the food in front of him.
"Well good morning there Gohan, I bet you weren't excepting a visit from me so soon, but I was wondering something. Have you figured out who I am yet?" The mysterious voice chuckled.
"No, I haven't, but you better leave me alone." Gohan mentally growled.
"Now why would I do that, I mean come on we're friends or at least I'll like us to be. After all we're already closer to each other then you know, but don't worry if you want to me to leave you alone, I will, but only for now." With that said, the voice disappeared.
"Gohan!" Chi-Chi yelled for about the tenth time.
"Hu?" Gohan finally answered, looking up towards his mother.
"I asked if you are okay, I mean you haven't touched your breakfast yet." Chi-Chi answered.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about the project I told Bulma I would help her with." Gohan lied, before digging into the giant plate of food before him.
Ten minutes and an army size mountain of pancakes later, the Half Saiyan was finished eating. Smiling, he stood up from the tabled.
"Thanks Mom, that was good. Now I think I'm going to get some studying done. Call me if you need anything."
As her eldest Son walked pass her towards the stairs, Chi-Chi couldn't help but stand there confused. "Something must be wrong, he has never willing went to study before." Chi-Chi mentally replied.
-DBZ-
Nearly two hours had passed and the anxiety was finally get to Chi-Chi, for she hadn't heard a sound from her eldest's boy and without Goten around it was too quiet. Unable to take any more, Chi-Chi poured a large glass of apple juice and carried it up the stairs.
Standing outside Gohan's room, she couldn't actually believe what she was seeing. For in front of her son, he had his science book open and was actually reading it, well sitting on the right side of the desk was a pile of completed work.
"Wow Gohan, I'm impressed. You been working hard and look at all the work you have gotten done." Chi-Chi said, as she sat the apple juice down, "Well then I guess I'll get out of your hair, so you can finish. When you are done you can head over to Bulma's if you like, I know she still waiting for you to help her on that secret invention."
"Mom?" Gohan called, as Chi-Chi started out the room.
"Yeah, what is it?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Well I was just reading about how plants make their own food, and well I was thinking wouldn't it be cool if we could do that?" Gohan replied.
"I don't know if it would be cool or not, but it would defiantly be helpful. After all our grocery bill would go down, now wouldn't it? But then again what else would I do with my time, if I couldn't spend all that time making food for you boys." Chi-Chi answered with a small smile before finally leaving.
-DBZ-
A half hour later Gohan came walking downstairs, a pile of papers in his hand.
"Well Mom, I finished." He called, laying down the stack of papers on the kitchen table.
"Well then, you can head off to Bulma's if you'll like. Dinner should be done by the time you get back, oh and don't forget Goten. I think he has spent enough time over there for now." Chi-Chi answered, never taking her eyes off the food she was cooking.
"Okay Mom, Love you!" The eldest Son boy called as he ran out the door.
"Love you too, please be careful." Chi-Chi called after him.
-DBZ-
"Well I see you're on your way to Bulma's, how is she?" The Mysterious voice asked.
"She is fine, now what do you want?" Gohan growled.
"Nothing, I just want to talk. After all I remember the first time you meet Bulma, what was it like ten or eleven years ago? You were so cute then what happen Gohan? Oh, I know. You grew up and Daddy left you. Don't you get it Gohan? Your Daddy, he was jealous and angry. You have all the power, not him. He liked being the strongest and when you beat him, he couldn't take it and left. Goku, he liked it back when you needed him to be the hero, he liked that you were too weak and afraid to defend yourself. He was the hero and you took that from him, but you know what Gohan? None of this is your fault, not even close. Think about it, when he first died that was his fault, he chose to. When the Saiyan's attacked the Earth and most of his friends were killed that was his fault as well, he was the one that was too slow. As for Frieza, think about it. He didn't come back for a whole year after that, and once he did what happen? You all learn of the androids that were to come, and had to train nonstop. Don't you get it Gohan? Your daddy, your hero, he liked to kick the tar out of you; he did it nearly every day for three years. You were too weak to fight back, but once you were he took off with no wish to ever return. Think about it Gohan, really think about it. But you don't have to worry about him now, for you have me and I have always been here, and always will be. Sorry Buddy, you can't get rid of me and I promise one day, we will meet face to face but for now I'll be watching you, just like I always have. You may have never seen me, but I've been with you, watching and listening. I have always came to you when you need me, when things were really bad. You can trust me, like I trust you and Gohan; you don't always have to be the hero, it's okay to be the villain. Well I let you go, since your here. Just think about everything I said, but I really want you to remember you don't have to be the hero, it is really okay to be the villain."
With that said the voice left and the door of Capsule Corp. opened.
