Bright lights flooded the hallways of the large ship. Kew ran through them
just knowing the plan had failed. The power scouter picked up a large
reading on the computer screen not to far from where they were. 'Someone
spotted the ship' he though as he finally reached the main corridor. He
rushing in to find it completely empty. Kew left the main corridor and fled
to the entrance of the ship. "Lord Cooler? Lord Frieza?" he said softly,
yet loud enough to hear. "We know Kew. We can feel energy remember?" the
voice of Frieza answered back. "What are we going to do? Should I go after
the person?" Kew asked in the same soft yet more panicked voice.
"No… we must leave them be. If we go after them then we will be found for sure." Cooler said looking up at the early stars rising. "Yes sir." Kew bowed and walked off, but before he reached the ship Frieza said to him, "Make sure to cover our little…project Kew." Kew grinned and answered back then ran into the ship. He circled the halls an ended up in the computer room. "Lets see…" He said with a wicked smile on his face.
Meanwhile Gohan was flying at an extremely fast rate and made it home in half the time. He ran inside to see Goten laying on the ground playing with some toys. "Goten where's dad?" Gohan asked looking around the house. "Umm… I dunno. Why?" Goten answered not taking his eyes off the toys. "I need to tell him something very important I saw Goten." Normally Goten would have just continued playing with his toys, but the word 'important' seemed to have gotten his attention. Goten sat up dropping his little half-tiger half- man action figure and said, "Important? What is it Gohan? I wanna know!"
"Where is dad Goten!" Said Gohan getting annoyed now. Goten put on a sour face then said, "You don't have to yell Gohan! He's out back with mom!" with that Goten ran off out the door. Gohan let out a sign then quickly walked out.
When he rounded the small country house he saw his parents and Goten. "Dad!" he called. "Hey Gohan! You late getting home tonight." Gokou called back to his older son. Gohan reached them with his hand behind his head and blushed a bit. "Yeah… Videl wanted me to stay longer, Heh… another reason I was late is because the I saw something." Gohan explained what he saw and what happened with the stick, and got little comments from Goten like, "Wow!"Or "Cool!"
When Gohan finally finished Chichi had gone inside irritated mumbling something under her breath. Gokou however had a serious look on his face and told asked Gohan to take his where he saw this "Moving Ice" Gohan agreed. Gokou made Goten stay behind in case something happened and they didn't return, to go and tell the others. Goten half smiled and ran into the house.
Cooler and Frieza were now back in the ship when Frieza said, "Here they come. Kew you did cover up our little mess right?" Kew nodded then sat down. "All we have to do is wait Sirs. Then you can have your fun." Cooler looked over to Kew. "And what if we don't want to wait? And what do you mean 'we' Kew?" Kew jumped back up and looked at Cooler. "I-I don't mean w- we sir, you don't have to w-wait, you can g-go now if you like s-s-sir." He shuddered. Kew hated when Cooler did that to him. There was just something in his eyes that gave his the creeps. Frieza was different though; he didn't scare him as much as Cooler did. "That's what I thought…" Cooler answered. Frieza tapped his chair impatiently then turned to the tall meter that was to the left of him. It was a tall meter with a lot of gages. The meter read "Half-way done." Frieza let out a sign then continued to tap his long white fingers.
"But you gotta believe me dad, it was really cold out, and nothing but ice! I swear!" Gohan pleaded. They both now stood of solid ground, where Gohan said he saw the icy plains. There was just grass everywhere now, all the trees were perfectly in their places, so were the small stones and sticks on the ground. Gohan thought the darkness might be covering it up, but that would be impossible. It would still be cold, like before. 'What happened! Was someone playing a trick on me?' Gohan thought. Gokou brought Gohan out of though when he said, "Maybe you were just tired? You did look it when you came home tonight." Gohan walked around the tiny opening in the forest. He bent down and scooped up a handful of dirt, then studied it. It was normal. 'Maybe dad's right, maybe I am just tired.' He throught then threw dirt down and walked back over to Gokou. "I guess you were right dad." Gokou smiled softly and patted Gohan on the back. "Okay son, lets go home now alright?" Gohan nodded with a small smile then they both flew off. As soon as they did, the ground lifted up and evaporated away, leaving the icy surface facing the night sky.
The next day the Son family traveled over to Capsule Corp to have dinner with the Briefs. Having dinner with them had become a little popular thing to do on Friday nights. They all enjoyed it especially Goten, he loved going over there to see Trunks. Trunks loved it too. Goten enjoyed it more because he didn't have to hang out with Gohan anymore. Ever since Gohan had met Videl that's all he thought about, and that was the only person he hung out with. Every time Goten asked Gohan to play with him, or even train, he said he was too busy. He had never said that before.
Goten felt bad, but he didn't let anyone know about it. When they finally reached the briefs home, Chichi almost had a freak out that she had forgot the rice and sushi she had made. So she sent Goten and Gohan back home to get it. Goten didn't want Gohan going but didn't say anything, his mom was worked up enough.
"Hey bro, why are you going so fast? Were not timed you know." Gohan called out to Goten who was about ten-feet ahead of him. "I'm not going fast Gohan, your just going to slow." Goten answered. Gohan caught up with his little brother who had an annoyed look on his face. "What's the matter Goten? You've been acting weird lately." Goten stopped flying a starred at Gohan. "No Gohan you're the one acting weird!" he yelled and threw his hands up in the air. "All you do is ignore me! And hang out with Videl!" Gohan was a little taken back by this comment. Just when we were going to answer back something caught his eye. He looked down and saw the ground moving again. Neither one of them had even noticed how cold it had gotten, probably because of their energy. But now Gohan knew what it was from. "Goten look down…" Goten said some stuff under his breath then looked down.
"The ground…Gohan, it's moving!" Goten starred in horror at the ground. "That's what you saw isn't it! I thought you just said that cause you were with Videl." Gohan looked back at Goten just when his cell phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and opened it. "Awww… if mom knew you had that Gohan! You would be in so much trouble, where did you get it?" Gohan studied the phone the answered it. "Videl?"
Goten just about freaked out. He made a mad noise then dropped down to the ground. He landed on the cold ice forgetting about what Gohan said about the stick. As soon as he remembered it was too late, he was already touching it, but nothing happened, he didn't freeze. "Oh well, guess I got lucky…" he laughed and threw his hand behind his head. Goten looked up to see Gohan in a deep conversation with Videl.
Goten let out a small grunt and walked around on the cold ice. He bent down an touched it, but quickly pulled his hand back up. "That was cold!" Goten shivered a bit then continued to walk around. "Hey Gohan! Come down here!" He called.
Gohan looked down and nodded then started talking again. Goten was too mad at Gohan to concentrate or hear for that matter. Because if he would have, he would have noticed the Cracking of the ice behind him…
"No… we must leave them be. If we go after them then we will be found for sure." Cooler said looking up at the early stars rising. "Yes sir."
