Goku waved goodbye to Dende and Popo before pressing his two fingers to his forehead as he initiated instant transmission. He immediately vanished from sight as he re-appeared to his first stop.
The sandy beaches were the same as always, Goku decided to pay a visit to the Kame house before going to Mount Pao. As he appeared in a flash within the house, Master Roshi, who was sitting on a chair looking at dirty magazines nearly fell over from the surprise, "Eh!? Goku..!!"
A voice was heard from the other room, "What!? You're kidding!! Goku!!" The ever aging Krillin ran into the living room and jumped at Goku to give his lifelong friend a hug, "It's great to see you guys!" His eyes widened a bit in confusion as he pointed at Krillin, "Hey.. isn't your hair getting a little.. you know grey? Krillin chuckled a little and scratched his head, "Well.. yeah, we can't all stay young can we?.. I mean, not all of us."
Goku laughed slightly as he held his belt, "So guys, how has everyone been while I was away?" Roshi replied, "Eh, same as always, you really ought to see Gohan and Videl, He-He, Young Pan is the one who has been missing you the most.. err..- Not that we haven't!" Goku closed his eyes and smiled, "Really? I hope she isn't sore that I didn't come to visit for awhile."
Krillin shook his head, "Nah, who can stay mad at you Goku? She'll be fine, it's Chi-Chi you should worry about."
Goku burst out laughing at the ultimately true statement Krillin made, "I'll talk with Chi-Chi, don't worry. Anyways guys, I should go, I'll come back to visit." Goku walked out the door and waved, "Bye guys!" Goku pressed his two fingers onto his forehead again and vanished.
After warping at the blink of an eye Goku appeared at Mt. Pao. It had never been this good to be home, the animals were out, the sun was shining.. Goku walked towards his home and opened the door, letting himself in. A voice came from the kitchen and said in a loud but calm voice, "Who is it?"
Goku walked towards the kitchen and said in a calm voice, "Hello Chi-Chi." Chi-Chi dropped the plates she was holding and ran over to her husband, "GOKU!?!" The two engaged in a loving embrace as Chi-Chi's eyes were nearly welling with tears, "I missed you." Goku rubbed the back of her head and responded, "I missed you Chi-Chi." Chi-Chi dried her eyes and then took a deep breath before lightly punching Goku in the chest, screaming, "WHY DIDN'T YOU EVEN VISIT YOUR OWN FAMILY!!"
Goku frowned a little bit, sweat drizzling down his face.. he didn't much fear her as he did her temper, "I'm sorry Chi-Chi, I must have.." "FORGOT!?! What the heck is so important about training!?!" Goku responded in an ever calm tone, "Well.. I.." Chi-Chi sighed, "It's okay I guess, as long as you're here to stay, you are aren't you?" Goku smiled, "Of course! By the way, where are the others?"
Chi-Chi went over to clean up the broken dishes before saying, "Well Gohan is at a big meeting, Goten is studying for his exams, he's a college student now you know? Maybe he'll become as successful as his brother."
Chi-Chi's face lit up, "My sons, both big city big shots.. how proud I'd be if it were so." Goku scratched his head lightly, "I see, so neither of them train anymore?" A voice was heard coming down the stairs, "I still do dad, I've been helping train Pan since you left." Goten was seen at the bottom of the stairs, his face bearing a huge grin. Goku also grinned, giving his son a thumbs up, "That's great! We should spar soon, like old times."
Goten smirked, "Gee dad.. That sounds great but I have a date tonight, it can wait till tomorrow right?" "GOTEN!" Chi-Chi yelled, "Your father just got back from after ten years, it can wait!!" Goten sighed, "You're right, I'll go cancel." Goku laughed to himself, "It's alright Chi-Chi! It's okay with me." Chi-Chi frowned, "But you just got back.. shouldn't we all at least have dinner together?" Goten nodded, "That's right dad, she'll understand." Goku nodded, "If that's what you want, then we'll all have dinner together! I can't wait to taste your cooking again Chi-Chi."
The door opened again as thee people walked in, Gohan, Videl, and Pan, now much older. Gohan's face lit up with a grin, "Hey! You're home dad." Videl smiled and nodded, "Welcome home Goku-san." Pan's face lit up exceptionally well as she proceeded to run over, "Grandpa!!" Goku pulled Pan into a hug immediately as he spoke in his calm voice, "Hey Pan, you're not sore at Grandpa for being away for so long right?"
Pan shook her head, "Nah! It's just great that you're back, I missed you." Goku smiled, "It's great to be back Pan." Chi-Chi clapped her hands together, "This is so sweet, I'm going to start dinner." Videl responded as she followed, "Here, I'll help." Chi-Chi smiled, "Thank you Videl, that's very sweet but you can take a break if you want." "No no, I'm happy to help." The two proceeded to begin dinner as they waited in the living room, where Gohan Goten and Pan told Goku about all that's happened while he was away. He gasped and said, "Wow! Vegeta sounds like he got a lot stronger.. I bet he'll be sore when he finds out we're still just as strong as each other."
"Dinner is ready!" Chi-Chi spoke as the three proceeded to walk in the dining room and eat dinner. Afterwards Goku rubbed his stomache as he bore a large smile, "That was great Chi-Chi, Videl.. I missed your cooking." Chi-Chi smiled, "I hope they fed you right at the Lookout." Goku grinned, "Well, not as good as your cooking but what is as good as your cooking Chi-Chi?" Goten looked over at his father, "Hey dad, wanna do some sparring?" Goku nodded and gave Goten a thumbs up, "Sure! Gohan and Pan, you come too alright?" Gohan nodded and Pan raised her fist in the air, "Alright Grandpa, I'll show you how much I've improved."
The three walked out the door and flew off to a field to begin sparring. Goku put himself in a training stance, "Alright who wants to go first?" Goten looked over at Pan, "Hey Pan, how about we fight him at the same time?" Pan put her hands to her sides, "Right!" The two charged at Goku with quite impressive speed as they began throwing barrages of punches and kicks at the ever powerful Goku, who easily blocked and evaded them. Pan and Goten fell back as Goku laughed a little, "Hey it's no problem, remember you two I've been doing some pretty great training myself." Goten grinned enthusiasticly, "Amazing dad.. you're stronger than you ever were before, imagine how good you are transformed." Goku scratched his head, "That's a good question Goten.. I haven't really tried transforming since I defeated Majin Buu."
Goten observed a little at Goku's Ki, "Can you show us how much power you have now?" Goku thought for a moment, "I don't see why not."
Goku smirked, "I haven't done this in awhile.. this'll be exciting." He clenched his fists as he began to charge up his Ki, the air around him beginning to tense up, wind blowing around. Goku began to yell as his Ki continued to grow. He then let out an explosion of power as his hair stuck upright and changed to a gold color, his eyes turning green. His body surrounded itself with a gold aura. Pan gasped and yelled, "Awesome! That's like what uncle Goten showed me." Goten also gasped, "Yeah but.. that power is insane.. it makes mine look puny, ten years really makes a huge difference! I should have trained harder so I could fight you." Goku grinned, "Hey, it's alright Goten. My training was pretty intense, your power is great." Goku then looked over at the sky, "It's getting dark, we should probably get some sleep, gee time goes by fast." Pan frowned, "But tomorrow we're going to have to do something together, alright Grandpa?" Goku smiled, "Of course Pan!" And with that the three proceeded to get some rest, until the next chapter in their lives continues their grand adventures.
Writer's Commentary: Until I think up villains and a plot from here there won't be any new chapters, but don't be expecting any Super Saiyan 4.. I'm not adding it.. Super Saiyan 3 remains the strongest form.
