Chapter 3: Cosmic Flashbacks

Gohan is lying his head on the pillow trying to sleep, but a lot of things were going through his head like how the past month has been hell for him. Gohan missed everyone that has been gone since the Cell Games and now that he has the chance to bring them back, but he wonders if everyone will be mad at him for not defeating Cell in time. Gohan began to "fill himself" with guilt from it and Gohan can't do anything about it and every day since the Cell Games, he began to think that life isn't worth living without his father and his friends. Gohan did keep himself from committing suicide because he doesn't want to leave his mother alone and he also knew that Bulma would try to find New Namek soon and it would be perfect for him to go to the planet and revive everyone that was killed by Cell.

The hell Gohan was living in without his father and his friends is finally gonna be over even though Gohan doesn't know how long the trip will be, but it didn't matter. Gohan looked at the ceiling and began to think what he would do with his father when he sees him again. Stuff like fishing & training... And that brought tears to Gohan's eyes, knowing that he will be happy again.

Thinking of Good memories caused Gohan to finally fall asleep with a smile on his face.

Back on Earth at Capsule Corp.

A couple of hours have passed since the ship blasted off into space and Chi-Chi came over when she found the letter on Gohan's Nightstand this morning. Bulma, Chi-Chi, & Trunks are in the lab trying to contact Gohan, but no luck.

"I don't know why he would take off. We planned this since last week." said Chi-Chi.

"I guess he didn't want to wait any longer to get to New Namek. He wants to wish everyone back." replied Trunks.

As Trunks is talking to Chi-Chi, Bulma is at her computer trying to figure out where Gohan is currently at. Bulma couldn't find out where Gohan is at, but she did find out that the ship is gonna run out of fuel soon and it's programed to take the ship to a nearby planet.

"Guys. I have some bad news. The bad news is that I don't know where Gohan is at this moment and his ship is gonna run out of fuel soon, but the good news is that I can override the ship and program it to come back to Earth." said Bulma.

"That's good to hear. How long will it take you to override the ship." said Trunks.

"It's hard to say, but I think I can do it by tomorrow, but if I work on it right now, I will be able to do it by the end of the day. Chi-Chi, you can stay here until I finish the process" replied Bulma.

"Thanks Bulma."

Without saying anything else, Bulma walked over to her desk and began to work on her computer.

Back on the ship

Gohan is still sleeping in his bed still with a smile on his face, which shows that he is having a good dream.

Gohan's Dream

The dream is taking place on Earth in the 439 district area and it has both Goku and Gohan in their normal states walking in the forest.

"Today is a perfect day for us to go fishing. Isn't Gohan? Said Goku.

"Yeah it is. I'm so happy that we can finally live together in peace. Replied Gohan.

"And since you defeated Cell, I figure we can relax in our normal state and I can take you fishing again and this time with nothing to worry about."

Both Goku and Gohan looked at each other with a big smile and both were happy that they can finally spend more time with each other with no one to ruin it.

"Last one to the lake is a rotten egg." said Goku as he started to run forward.

"HEY get back here you cheater!" shouting Gohan as he started to run after his father.

Gohan run as fast as he could and he still couldn't catch his father. Gohan lost sight of his father, but continued running until he got to the lake.

Once Gohan got to the lake, he began to look around for his Dad, but nothing and he began to get worried. Gohan began to search his father's ki and he got a lock on his ki and he looked up with his father falling from the sky onto the ground. Gohan ran over to his father to check on him.

"Dad are you ok? Dad. DAD. WAKE UP." yelled Gohan as he was shaking his father to wake up.

Gohan got no results and then out of nowhere, an energy blast came from above and Gohan managed to detect it and dodge the blast. Gohan looked up and he could see Cell with his hand raised up.

"Well I think you can keep me entertained since your father couldn't match Me." yelled Cell as he is lowering himself down to the ground.

"That's impossible, I defeated you." said Gohan.

"You thought you did, but I managed to regenerate after you fled to the lookout."

"How do you know about the lookout?"

"It doesn't matter now, all that matters now is that I'm here to finish you off."

Cell raised his hand and concentrated all his power into an energy blast and fired it at Gohan, but this time Gohan couldn't move.

"No. No. AAAGGHHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Gohan

Gohan's Dream Ends

Gohan jumped out of bed yelling with anger and when he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was in the ship and he was in his Super Saiyan state. Gohan managed to calm down to power down and laid back down on the bed. Gohan pulled his covers up to his chin and grabbed the picture from his bag that he set next to his bed and looked at it, which the picture was of everyone in a big group smiling. Gohan is sitting firmly on his father's shoulders wearing a white T-Shirt underneath his green overalls with a party hat and the picture was taken on Gohan's 7th birthday. Gohan smiled and began to picture his 7th birthday.

Gohan's Daydream

The day dream comes to view of Capsule Corp in the backyard with party decorations and everyone has come to celebrate Gohan's birthday and everyone is having a fun time especially Gohan, who is playing with his dragon, Icarus. As Gohan is playing catch with Icarus, Goku comes up to Gohan.

"Hey Gohan. Are you having fun?" said Goku.

"Yeah I'm having fun and so is Icarus."

"I glad to hear that. Speaking of which, I got a present for you."

"Really. You don't have to get me anything Daddy. Having you here is the only gift I want."

"That's nice to hear, but I want to give you this."

Goku step over to the side and behind Goku was Nimbus. When Gohan saw Nimbus, his face lite up with excitement.

"Really! Are you really giving me the flying Nimbus Dad?!" yelled Gohan.

"Yeah. Why don't you ride Nimbus around Capsule Corp by yourself for a while?"

"Sure" said Gohan.

Gohan jumped onto Nimbus and started to fly around Capsule Corp having the time of his life with Icarus following Gohan. Gohan looked down to see everyone looking at him seeing that he is having fun with his present that Goku gave him and all Gohan could do is smile and was happy to see that today was going perfect.

Gohan's Daydream Ends

Gohan had tears in his eyes from thinking of that memory and decided to keep that memory in his thoughts as he tried to go back to sleep for a couple more hours before he gets up and trains.

Review

P.S I decided to work only on this story for now because coming up with ideas for this story is a lot easier than "Unexpected Saiyan" and what I'm going through right now, It's gonna take me longer to post anything if I work on both, but when this situation is over, more and more stories will be posted by the end of the month or beginning of February.
