Author's Note: Wow I've been working on this and the inspiration just kept coming. Finally I've finished this part. Now I may not have the training methods in the correct order, but it should be close enough. Launch may act a little weird here, but hey, isn't she always weird? Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying this, the series will start to pick up once I get to the Tournament and Red Ribbon Army saga.

Disclaimer: Dragon Ball doesn't belong to me, never will. If it did, I'd probably have some Time Traveling involved with kid Goku or kid Gohan.


Dragon Ball Rewritten,

Of Past, Present and Future

Chapter 19, Got Milk?

It was very early in the morning, about 4:00 am early. Krillin was sleepinng next to Master Roshi on the sleeping bag downstairs while Goku was sleeping with Launch in bed upstairs.

Goku had another vision in his sleep.

*Vision*

Hm? Oh wow, I see... eh? Who's this? I don't know this guy yet... he looks like me! I know this isn't another older version of me, he looks a bit different too... Who is he?

"Kakarot, I'm glad I finally found you." he said... Kakarot? Oh, I remember Oozaru calling himself Kakarot and saying that's my real name but... is that really true?

"Who are you?" I heard the mature version of my voice asking, but I didn't see him. Oh wait, I must be in first person point of view because this look-alike is looking directly at me... this is new.

"My name is Bardock and there's something improtant I need to tell you." the look-alike called Bardock said.

Then a smalle white kitten-fox appeared on his shoulder. "I'm Ventusia Kistune, but please just call me Vena for short." she said and giggled.

"Daddy, I think they're from outer space." I heard someone that sounded like the current me but also a bit different. My future self looked down at the person who just talked... hey, it's a little boy wearing a hat with Master Gohan's Four-Star Ball! And he has a tail... he called me 'Daddy'... am I going to have a son in the future? If so I wonder who the Mommy is...

"Yeah, I think they are." my future self said.

*End vision*

Goku woke up from the vision of the distant future. Wow... that looks like it won't be happening for quite a while... I'd say for about 20 or so years. I can't believe I'm going to have a son in the future.

Goku stretched a bit before opening his eyes and was surprised to see Master Roshi with a broom stick. Goku was about to ask why he was in here with a stick looking all frantic until he remembered just who he is sleeping next to: Launch, the girl who has a major split personaility that only switches when she sneezes.

Uh-oh, don't tell me Launch sneezed in her sleep. Goku slowly turned around and indeed saw blonde hair instead of dark blue.

"Come on Goku, get out of bed before she wakes up." Roshi whispered urgently.

Goku nodded as he slowly and cautiously removed the blanket, hopping Launch is a heavy sleeper. The boy was able to get out of bed without disturbing her.

When they were safely downstairs, Goku saw Krillin looking really drowsy and a bit irritated. "Morning Krillin, rough night?"

"Try it's too stinkin' early Goku. I'm not much of a morning person." Krillin yawned grumpily.

"Krillin! You'll never get anywhere with that attitude! Now, today's the day we start our training. I hope you boys are ready, because from here on out you are going to sweat a LOT. Now follow me, we'll start with a nice morning jog." Roshi said as he opened the door.

Outside, Roshi lead the two young boys across the island, the three of them jogging together. Goku couldn't help but notice how dark it was, the sun hasn't even risen yet, it must be really early.

"Goku, I hear Master Roshi's training is tough, you think we can handle it?" Krillin whispered to his friend in curiosity.

"Well we'll just have to see Krillin. I had a vision of us delivering milk before Breakfast Time or we wouldn't get any breakfast ourselves." Goku said.

"WHAT?" Roshi suddenly stopped, causing Goku and Krillin to crash into the Turtle Hermit; they both fell on each other but Roshi stood strong and turned to the two boys.

"Are you telling me you already saw this part of the training coming?" Roshi demanded.

"Uh... yes sir. I'm sorry, but the visions come randomly like I said." Goku sweat dropped.

Roshi grumbled a bit before saying, "I guess it can't be helped, but I was hopping to surprise you boys myself. Anyway, since you already know what to do, I guess I could just skip the rules."

"Don't do that Master, I didn't see all of it, just a glimpse, I still don't know what exactly we're suppose to do." Goku reassured the disappionted Turtle Hermit.

"Hmm... I guess you're right, there's a lot more to do then just simply running around delievering milk. We're almost there." Roshi pointed at a house.

"Geez Goku, you probably should tell me your visions when we're alone." Krillin sighed, rubbing his face since Goku's big hair hit it when they fell.

The three of them reached the house. There was a humanoid goat putting up cartons of milk and had a helicopter too.

"Oh Master Roshi, I'm so glad to see you again after all these years. Did you tell me over the phone you have two workers to deliever the milk?"

"Sure do, they're right here." Roshi pointed at the two pint-sized warriors. Both of them sheepishly waved.

The goat looked at them, a little bewildered that the Turtle Hermit would suggest two young boys for such a big responisbility. "Are you sure they could do it? They don't look like much and they're only young boys."

"They can handle it, trust me. Now give us the milk that needs to be delievered for the day." Roshi said confidently.

"Okay, you want me to put them in the back or front of the helicoptor?" the goat asked.

Roshi grinned and said, "We're not taking the vehicle, these two boys are going to make the delievery on foot."

"On foot? On this entire ISLAND?" Krillin shouted in shock.

Goku wasn't surprised since he already saw it coming, but even he had to admit... it is a pretty big island of people.

"Yes Krillin." Goku said before Roshi would start scolding the bald boy.

"But Master Roshi, you know it's important the milk is delievered to everyone before Breakfast Time." the goat said frantically.

"Don't you worry, I'll whip these boys into shape and they'll have them all delievered before Breakfast Time. Alright Goku, Krillin, grab a carton, it's time for delievery." Roshi said to them.

Goku and Krillin each took a set of carton and followed Master Roshi across the island. "Memorize each step boys, because you'll be doing this everyday and I won't be there to guide you all the time."

"Yes Master." they both said, trying to keep up without spilling any of the milk.

"There's an old saying: no point in crying over spilled milk. However, if you two boys spill so much as a drop of those milk, I'll give you something to cry about!" Roshi warned them.

Roshi looked at his map. "Now, let's skip to the three miles house just down the road, we'll be taking it easy right now."

"Skip? THREE MILES?" Krillin said in disbelief.

"It's not THAT long Krillin. We've had to get through three miles before remember?"

"Yeah, but that was only a simulation and we didn't have to skip."

"Alright, if you boys are done chatting, let's get to it!"

Goku and Krillin had to skip along with Master Roshi. Both of them had pretty good stamina since training together since kindergarden, but they still have their limits. After skipping for 2 in a half miles, they were getting tired and the sun was beginning to rise.

They finally made it to the first house. Out of breath, Goku put in the milk and took out the empty bottle. "Wew... got... milk?" Goku chuckled, remembering that old commercial he use to see with Bulma.

"Good one... Goku." Krillin chuckled too.

They skipped to the other houses, Krillin put in the milk from his carton and took out the empty bottle. Roshi nodded. "We're making good progress, now we're going to zigzag between those trees for the next two miles." he pointed at a long pathway with a lot of trees.

"Zigzag? That... looks kinda long." Goku sweat dropped.

"No kidding..." Krillin sighed.

"Ready? Go!" Roshi called, causing the two to quickly run towards the trees. All three of them zigged through the trees and zagged, making the path a lot longer then it should've been and more tedious and tiring.

Goku turned and saw Krillin smirking before walking forward. Goku shook his head, he figured Krillin would do that. "Krillin! You better zigzag like Master says or you'll have to start over." Goku warned.

"Aw, but this is way too tiring." Krillin whinned.

"KRILLIN!" Roshi shouted.

"Yah! I'll start over!" Krillin cried going back to the beginning.

Goku felt sorry for his bald friend since he had to do it all over again. "Master, I'll start over too."

"I appreciate your enthusiasim Goku, but you better keep going if you want the milk to be delievered before Breakfast Time." Roshi said as Goku sighed and nodded.

"Yes sir." Goku looked back at Krillin trying to catch up, he was use to working together with Krillin, waiting for him if he had to and such, that it felt awkward leaving him behind like that, but he has a Master now and he can't just disobey him.

They finally made it to the next house. Goku opened up the milk box, process repeat; he put in the milk and took out the empty bottle. Krillin finally caught up, all tired out and had to sit down.

"You gonna be okay Krillin?" Goku asked his friend in concern.

"I... just... need... to... catch... my... breath..." Krillin was really out of breath.

"KRILLIN! DID I SAY YOU CAN REST?" Roshi yelled.

Krillin and Goku both jumped. "Now, you two earned a break from runnin, we'll just climb a few steps for now." Roshi said, going up the stairs of a rocky mountain.

"A FEW STEPS?" Krillin yelled when he saw just how high this mountain is.

"Wow... whoever lives on the top of that mountain must get a really great view." Goku chuckled, trying to remain optamistic.

"Have you lost it Goku? We have to climb all these steps on FOOT!" Krillin cried.

"Relax Krillin, just take a deep breath and let it out. Maybe climbing these stairs will be good for us, it is part of Master Roshi's training, we'll just have to tough it out, come on." Goku said, hopping to encouarge his bald friend.

The two boys in training walked step by step up the mountain stairs, both of them were tired and sweating. Geez, the sun's hardly in the sky and already I feel like I'm going to drop. I was never meant to be a milk delievery boy anyway... Goku thought ashamfully to himself.

After getting at least half way up, Goku saw Master Roshi sitting on the rock, smoking. "Master..." Goku started to say.

"Don't bother Goku, you can't use the Nimbus because it wouldn't challenge your skills. Besides, didn't you know that Ox-King and your first Master, Gohan had to deliever milk like you and not once did they complain to me about it." Roshi said, hopping this lesson would motivate the boy.

Goku smiled and said, "Oh wow, I didn't know Master Gohan had to deliever milk to, but I wasn't going to ask if I could use the Nimbus cloud, I was just going to say; if you keep smoking like that, you're not going to live much longer." he chuckled before climbing the stairs again.

Roshi grunted and glared. "That boy... probably should've just let him finish his sentence next time." he felt a bit embarrassed that Goku was scolding him about smoking and that he wasn't going to ask him to use the Nimbus.

Krillin soon finally caught up, totally out of breath. "Alright Krillin, you're half way there."

"HUH? Only half way? Ohhhh." Krillin moaned before slowly climbing up the stairs again to try and catch up to his friend.

While climbing the seemingly endless stairs, Goku was thinking to himself. This kind of training is a bit odd, but if it made Master Gohan and Ox-King so strong, then who am I to question it? I just hope Krillin doesn't die from exhaustion, I'm getting kind of worried about him. Goku looked back to see Krillin straggling behind, but still trying at least.

Goku decided to slow down so Krillin to catch up with him. The two boys kept their pace. Many times Goku had to keep his exhausted friend from falling down the stairs.

The two boys finally made it to the top of the mountain. Out of breath, Goku opened the milk box while Krillin put in the milk bottle and Goku took out the empty bottle.

"Delievered before breakfast." Roshi said to the monk living in the house, who just came out to say hello.

"Thank you. Master Roshi it's been ages since you last trainned." the monk said with a smile.

"I know, I'm whipping these boys into shape."

Goku and Krillin were both out of breath, both of them clinging to each other so they don't lie on the ground and get yelled at by the Turtle Hermit.

"Are their training going well Roshi?" the monk asked curiously.

"Hmm, well it's too early to say right now, we only just started. However, if they keep working hard deligently, they can enter the World Martial Arts Tournament coming up." Roshi announced.

"Oh, that's only eight months away." the monk said.

"Just like in my vision." Goku said with a tired smile.

Krillin, however, regained his energy as soon as he heard about it. "Really? We can really enter the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

"Yes, but only if you continue training and work hard." Roshi said.

"This is going to be so exciting Goku!" Krillin smiled hyperly to his friend.

"I know, it's going to be crowded there too." Goku chuckled.

"Eh? Are you saying you saw us at the tournament already?" Krillin asked with his eyes wide.

"Yup, and we were looking... uh... stylish too." Goku grinned and sweat dropped a little on the 'stylish' part since those blue suits weren't his taste.

"OH YEAH! We're gonna enter the tournament." Krillin cheered and danced around.

"Motivation is the beset energy. Goku's vision won't come to be if you don't work hard however, so let's get those milk delievered!" Roshi yelled, gaining the two boy's attention.

"YES SIR!"

Now they have to follow Roshi through a deep ravine while crossing a thin log without falling. Next was crossing a desert, the boys were tired, but the thought of the tournament kept them going.

Now they were being chased by a hungry meat eating dinosaur. "Better go faster boys if you don't want to end up lunch meat!"

Now they had to cross the rapids with the waterfall right next to it. "You can't let the water force push you, you must push back."

Tired, hungry, thirsty and out of breath, the two boys made it to the last house at last. Once the last milk was delievered, both boys were on the ground panting for air as if they have been suffocating their whole lives.

By now, the sun rose high into the sky, indicating dawn was gone and it was now morning. "Delievered before Breakfast Time, not too bad for a start, but you boys need to go faster next time." Roshi said.

"I'm... glad... we're done... for the day..." Krillin said in-between breaths.

"Done? We're not even close Krillin. That was only the early morning exercise, now it's time to start the mid morning training." Roshi announced.

"No way... this is nuts." Krillin cried.

"Yeah... but Krillin..." Goku started to say with sweat dripping over his face.

"What... Goku?"

"... I'm thirsty... got milk?" Goku chuckled, making Krillin roll his eyes at his friend's light-hearted humor at a time like this.

It looks like their training has gotten off to a... tiring start. Will Goku and Krillin be able to handle such intense training?


Chapter 20, Surviving the Turtle Hermit's Way.

"Now let's see if you boys like to play in the dirt." Roshi grinned as he walked towards a farmer.

"Oh great, first milk delievery, now we have to play with dirt?" Krillin sighed, getting up.

"Maybe it won't be so bad Krillin, at least we don't have to go country crossing delievering milk before morning." Goku tried to reassure his bald friend.

"You got anymore visions about Master Roshi's training methods Goku? I'd like to be a bit more prepared." Krillin asked his psychic friend.

Goku sighed and shook his head. "I wish, but no. My Foresight ability is random, remember?"

"Right... aw man."

"Okay boys, come over here!" Roshi called them over.

"Might as well just brace ourselves and hope for the best." Goku said to Krillin before they came up to Master Roshi and the farmer.

"Okay, you boys are going to be doing some agreculter, in other words start digging across the land." Roshi pointed at the huge landmass.

"Wow... I'm starting to wonder if this whole thing is worth it." Krillin grumbled.

"Oh and one more thing; don't use the tools, use your bare hands only." Roshi said firmly.

"You mean with our fingers?" Krillin cried.

"Come on Krillin, we can't give up now." Goku encouarged.

Soon the two boys had to dig across the land, using their hands only. They work pretty fast, the farmer was surprised to see how far they've gotten in just a few minutes that would've taken him almost half the day to get to.

"Oh... my fingernails are gone." Krillin whinned looking at his nailess fingers.

Goku stopped beside Krillin and said, "They'll grow back, just keep going. My vision of us competing in the tournament just has to come true."

"Okay, I'll try Goku." Krillin really appreciate Goku's encouragement, he can't let him down especially after all he's done for him. So Krillin went back to digging with Goku.

Goku decided to stay close to Krillin while digging to help encourage the bald former monk. "Come on Krillin, you can't let this beat you. Remember how hard we always worked together? Remember how you always got beaten by those jerks back at the Orin Temple? Show them you're not the weakling they made you out to be, you can do it Krillin!"

Krillin soon got faster and faster with each motivating word Goku spoke to his friend. "Soon we'll join the Tournament together and show those jerks we can fight and we're not punching bags. Dig faster!"

Soon Krillin was digging faster then an army of underground moles, Goku smiled. "Works like a charm."

Goku remembered those days when he would visit Krillin back at the Orin Temple, he would never forget how angery he was when he saw how those other people treated him nothing more then a punching bag.

These motivations sped them up until they completely dug through the entire land mass.

"Master Roshi... we're done." Goku panted, covered in mud as well as Krillin.

Rosh looked and did indeed saw everything was nice and dirty. "Good work, you boys have potential. Now, are you ready for breakfast?"

Oh good, we get to eat after all, I was worried we'd starve through the day. Goku thought to himself in relief.

The two tired boys followed the Turtle Hermit back to the house and hoped that Launch had sneezed back to her nice self again. Goku had given some advice to her on how to cook food and what not to use in ingrediants since he use to always watch his mom, Ms. Briefs, cook back at home.

Launch was indeed nice again and she happily called to them when she saw them. "Hey guys! It's about time, hurry up before your breakfast gets cold!"

"She's nice again." Krillin noted.

"Then that means... BREAKFAST!" both Goku and Krillin revitilized their energy and ran into the house, eager to fill their empty bellies.

"Wait for Roshi!" Roshi yelled after them.

In the dining table, Goku and Krillin were eating like they've been starving their whole lives. It's amazing how fast they can eat and not choke from it all.

Krillin then noticed how a bit bland his rice was tasting, so he picked up the pepper to add a little more flavor to it. "Wait! Not the pepper, she's a land mine!" Roshi cried a bit too late.

"Krillin!" Goku cried too when he noticed how close Krillin and the pepper is to Launch.

"What? I... oh... uh-oh." Krillin had already poured some pepper out and Launch's nose was starting to act up.

"Ah... ah... ah... AH-CHOO!" she sneezed and just like that, she turned blonde and angry.

"What is this? I'm not eating with an old man!" she screeched and took out a gun and started shooting everywhere.

"Wow Launch, have you been working on that aim?" Goku chuckled.

"How can you take this so light-hearted Goku?" Krillin snapped.

Launch stopped shooting when she noticed Goku. "Oh, it's just you Goku. Have you finally told them?"

"Yeah, and you were right, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would've been." Goku smiled.

"So tell me... what are we doing here?" Launch asked.

"We're just eating breakfast, that's all, no need to shoot." Krillin explained nervously.

"I don't mind you two boys eating, but I don't trust that pervert old man." she pointed dangerously at Roshi with her gun.

"Uh... it's okay Launch, we'll just... take him out to eat. We'll give you some time alone." Goku said, thinking quickly to get Master Roshi out of there unharmed.

"Yeah sure, whatever kid." Launch said as she walked upstairs.

"Good thinking Goku, you really know how to handle Launch when she's like that." Roshi grinned.

"Thanks Master, but we better keep our word and go out before she comes back." Goku said.

"Do you know a good place to eat Master?" Krillin asked.

"I suppose, follow me."

Out in the village, they were now eating in a small resturaunt. Goku and Krillin had eaten a lot of food, you could easily see those empty bowls staken up beside them and yet they still ask for more.

Goku then sneezed. Krillin and Roshi, after the experience with Launch sneezing, quickly ran for cover, causing everyone to stare at them. They both blushed in embarassment.

"Relax guys, I don't change drastically when I sneeze." Goku laughed.

After breakfast, Roshi lead them otuside and they sat on some logs while their master gave them each some books.

"Now, we will use this time to study and sharpen the mind. A powerful body would be useless if you don't know how to use it." Roshi said.

"Oh good, I love reading... um... I already read this book when I was four, you got anything else?" Goku asked after seeing the same book he read a long time ago and really didn't want to read it again.

"Hm? You read the whole thing on your own when you were only four?" Roshi stared at the tailess boy.

"Yeah, Goku here loves researching and spends a lot of his time either training or reading." Krillin explain putting a hand around his best friend.

"Well... I suppose we could skip the basics then and go straight to the advance stuff. Okay, here, read this then." Roshi gave Goku a thicker book.

Goku chuckled. "I already read this too when I was five."

"Goku! Is there anything you haven't read yet?" Roshi was getting impatient.

"That's a tough one since I have a lot of books back home." Goku said, thinking about it.

"A lot of books is an understatment Goku, it's like three libraries in your own room!" Krillin exclaimed, remembering seeing how many books were in his room.

"Well, I guess I haven't read this one yet." Goku said, picking up an extremly big book from the pile.

Roshi sweat dropped. "That's the phone book."

"Okay, then how about I help teach Krillin these literature books?" Goku suggested after seeing all the other books were things he read in his early childhood.

"I guess that's a good idea since you know so much already." Roshi grumbled.

Goku chuckled sheepishly as he grabbed an easy book. "Okay Krillin, this one should be easy to learn."

"Goku... that's a math book."

"Hm? Oh, I thought it'd be good to learn some math before we go into reading. Now pay attention." Goku talked like a teacher now.

After an hour of learning, Roshi yawned, he was planning to teach Goku and Krillin, not watching Goku teach Krillin. "'Okay, it's noon now. Let's go have some lunch." he said.

"Oh boy!" Krillin jumped, ready to eat and quit learning what Susie was trying to do when she leaned into the lake and almost drowned for it.

"Aw, but we were getting to the good part." Goku whinned. Although the boy loves to eat, he didn't like being interrupted when he's reading and researching.

"There are times when you need to let your mind rest and take a break. Now let's have some lunch Goku, you and Krillin can continue tomorrow." Roshi said.

"Okay." Goku sighed as he put a bookmark on the page he's currently on.

They went back to KAME HOUSE, thankfully Launch had sneezed again and she's nice. This time the boys and Roshi were able to enjoy their meals in piece without Launch sneezing and trying to shoot their heads off again.

After lunch, Roshi hung three net hammocks on the tree and put pillows on each one. "What are those for Master?" Krillin asked.

"We're going to take a nice hour nap in these hammocks Krillin. Now, Goku, Krillin get on each one." Roshi said.

Krillin hopped on one, Goku hesitated. "Um... why are we taking a nap Master?" he never took a nap, not even when he was a baby, it seems kind of a waste of time when he could use that hour to get things done.

Roshi calmly climbed on his own hammock, leaving Goku the only one still standing on the grass. "Sometimes, Goku, even the best of fighters needs to rest. Your body and mind can only take so much, so it's best to take a nap every once in a while."

"But is it really necessary? I've never slept in the day before... Bulma told me napping is for babies and old people." Goku said, remembering that his big sister didn't like taking naps in the day either.

"Just rest Goku." Roshi sighed before putting his night blind on.

Goku saw that Krillin was already fast asleep. All those milk delievery and farming must've really taken it out of him.

What am I suppose to do now? Just sleep? Goku thought to himself while looking at the empty hammock and the sleeping Turtle Hermit and bald boy.

Goku was tempted to just call the Flying Nimbus and explore for the hour while Roshi and Krillin slept, but if he did that and Master Roshi finds him gone, then he'd be in big trouble.

Sighing, the former tailed boy hopped onto his hammock and laid there for a minute staring at the leaves above the tree, swaying with the wind. The cool breeze felt good. It didn't take long before Goku unknowingly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Goku opened his eyes and saw Bulma, his big sister, smiling at him. "Hey, it's about time you're awake kid."

Goku's eyes widened, what's his big sister doing here? "Bulma? When did you get here?"

"I live here silly, now hurry up and get dressed. Mom and Dad are waiting for us." she said quickly.

Goku was now confused. Looking around, he saw he was back in his room. "Huh? When did I get back here? Last I remember I was training with Master Roshi and Krillin... unless... it was all a dream? Or maybe this is a dream..."

Shaking his head, Goku sat up and realized he was in his blue dogi and his tail was back. "Huh, I thought I lost these when I turned Oozarzu back at the castle. Wait..."

Goku quickly ran to his sister. "Bulma, did we ever go searching for the Dragon Balls?"

"Dragon Balls? I don't know what you're talking about little brother, but now's not to time to be playing. Look, we today's our first day as milk deilevery people and I don't want to get fired. We have to earn money somehow." Bulma said quickly.

"Earn money? Why?" Goku asked, bewildered since their parents aren't exactly in need of money.

"What do you mean 'why'? We need money to go to the Island Paradise coming up next week. Mom and Dad won't let us go unless we earn the money ourselves, now hurry up and put this on." she suddenly put a white hat on Goku and grabbed cartons of milk.

"Now smile and don't drop a single bottle or we're fired! Hurry, we're on a time limit!" she said quickly.

Goku wasn't sure what's going on, but this seemed a lot like the training method for Master Roshi. For some reason though, Goku was having a hard time carrying the carton and moving his legs, it's as if they both felt so heavy to him. He didn't understand how Bulma was able to easily carry them like... some kind of circus girl, she's actually juggling those bottles!

"Bulma... wait for me!" Goku cried and tripped, the carton fell over and broke all the glass bottles, milk was everywhere.

"Goku! You're so clumsy!" Bulma cried.

"That's it! You're both fired!" a floating goat man said in anger... yeah, there's a goat flying above them.

"Now look at what you did Goku, we better go find another job." Bulma sighed.

"Wait, you're not weirded out by that floating goat man?" Goku pointed in shock.

"No, why would I be?" Bulma asked as if Goku just said; 'you're not weirded out that there's people in the city?'

Goku looked around to see everything was out of place; buildings were giant stuffed animal shape, the dogs were walking the people and there were some flying carrots eating people in the area, but everyone else were walking along as if this thing was normal.

"Am I the only one who finds everything here is strange?" Goku shouted.

"Don't make a scene little brother. I found us another job." Bulma said.

"Already?"

"Look, see those fields? We are to agreculture it. They don't have any tools so it looks like we'll just be using our bare hands." Bulma said.

Goku looked at his sister. "But I thought you didn't like touching dirt Bulma."

"Of course I do, you ever saw me digging before?" her hands suddenly turned into giant mole claws. Goku's eyes popped out, staring at them.

"Now let's get started." she said as she dug through the ground like a mole.

Goku shook his head. "Okay, that's it, this has to be a dream, there's no way any of this is crazy stuff is real."

Then he thought. "But I don't remember falling asleep..."

Suddenly, the scene changed. Goku found himself in some kind of snowy mountains. Suddenly, a boy that looked similar to him but with longer hair and a darker gi dropped from the sky and landed on him.

"Oh, I'm really sorry about that." said the boy sheepishly.

"Huh? Hey... you..." Goku sort of recognized this boy; he looked a lot like the boy from his visions earlier, but he was older.

"Hm? Oh hey Dad... why are you a kid again? Where's Piccolo? We're suppose to be training for the Androids coming in three years." the boy said.

"What? Androids? Piccolo? Who are you?" Goku was confused now, until he remembered this is a dream, nothing's suppose to make sense.

"Don't you remember Dad? It's me, Gohan." the boy said to Goku as if he knew him.

"Gohan? That's my first Master's name... Wait, why are you calling me 'Dad'? I'm not anybody's dad, I'm only 12!"

The boy called Gohan thought for a minute, before apparent realization hit him and he gasped, then he smiled sheepishly to Goku. "Uh... oops, sorry about that, I must've mistaken you for someone else. A-anyway, I think you should go now."

Gohan suddenly pushed Goku over the edge of a cliff! Goku yelped as he fell down into the cold ocean.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" Goku yelled.

"SORRY! BUT IT'S FOR THE BEST! I KNOW YOU'LL UNDERSTAND SOMEDAY!" Gohan yelled back just before the big SPLASH.

Goku's eyes flung opened as he gasped. He breathed hard a few times while his heart thumped against his chest. He looked around to see he was still on his hammock, he was still wearing his white shirt and blue pants and he doesn't have his tail anymore.

"Oh man... what a dream." Goku sighed in relief as he laid back down.

Who was that boy? He called me 'Dad' and himself Gohan. Hmm... I may have a theory on this; what if Gohan was really my son from the future? Somehow my Foresight ability triggered while I was dreaming and caused it to crossover with my subconsciousness, thus allowing me to somehow commuticate with someone related to me in the distant future through our minds. Gohan didn't want me to know about this and my future self must've warned him and he pushed me into the ocean to wake me up before I could find anything out... at least, that's my theory anyway, but it seems plausible.

Then Goku shook his head. Would you listen to me? I'm insane! Ugh... all these future visions and what not are really taking its toll on my sanity. I guess taking a nap is making it worse, I knew I should only sleep at night.

Suddenly, Krillin yawned and streched. "Wew, that was a good nap, I feel refreshed and ready to go."

Roshi soon followed. "Well, I hope you boys had a good nap, because now it's time to start the next lesson."

Goku and Krillin nodded. Goku couldn't believe he actually slept for an hour in the day, he usually couldn't sit still let alone sleep for five minutes before, all of the Turtle Hermit's training is really exhausting him out, both physically and perhaps mentally too.

Roshi had lead the two boys to a lake. "What's wrong Goku? You look kind of out of it." Krillin asked when he saw Goku looking deep in thought.

Goku blinked. "Huh? Oh sorry Krillin, I think I may have had another vision..."

Roshi turned to Goku. "Well, let's hear it, what did you see in the future?"

Goku looked at them and said, "I don't really know, because I'm not really sure if it was a vision of the future." Goku then proceeded to tell them about the boy called Gohan, whom he presumes to be his future son, and how he came up with his theory of the Foresight crossing with his subconsciousness caused him to accidently form a temporary mental link with his son in the far future.

"Hmm... did you ever have any visions when you were asleep before Goku?" Roshi asked.

"Yes sir, but this never happened before, it was a strange experience." Goku said.

"Well... did you ever dream while having the vision before?" Krillin asked next.

Goku thought long and hard about this one, before saying, "Now that I think about it; no. This is probably the first time the vision tried to come while I was dreaming."

"Then that could be it. I remember my sister Baba once told me about this too. In a very rare occurance, the visions of the future may come while you are dreaming. It works normally if you're not dreaming, but if you are while it comes, then the psychic mind may subconsciously open the mental link with someone close to you in the future the vision was originally going to show you." Roshi explained the best he could.

"A lot of it didn't make any sense Master." Krillin said.

"I think I get it... though I'm not sure how to put it into words. I guess what Master Roshi is trying to say basically is that if the visions come while I'm dreaming, I could subconsciously talk to someone in the future that was suppose to be in the vision."

"You're just repeating what Master said."

"At any case, you'll have to figure that one out later. For now, let us continue our training." Roshi said, putting Goku's strange ability to the back of his mind for now.

Roshi pointed at the lake. "You two boys are going swimming."

"Swimming? Master, aren't you ever going to each us any Martial Arts techniques?" Krillin asked impatiently.

"Martial Arts techniques? You two boys aren't ready to learn such things! Now let me see here..." Roshi looked around for something, then he went to a rather large and heavy boulder.

"Okay, see this? If you can move this boulder, then I'll teach you the techniques." Master Roshi pointed at the boulder.

"What? That big thing? Come on Goku, I know we move it!" Krillin said eagerly.

Roshi then quickly said, "Wait! Not this boulder, I was too hasty. I meant this one over here!"

Roshi pointed at a much bigger rock... almost the size of a huge building!

"Okay, now that's just crazy!" Krillin cried.

"Come on Krillin, we'll just have to work hard I guess." Goku sighed.

"Good, now take off your clothes and start swimming. You are to make a full lap to the other side of shore." Roshi said pointing at the otherside.

"Do we really need to take off our clothes?" Goku grumbled.

"Yes, now hurry up!"

Goku and Krillin took their clothes off, though relunctatly. At least they both had the decentcy to ear their underwear. They both dived down into the lake.

"Hey, this isn't so bad. The water's nice and cool." Krillin smiled.

"I don't know, something tells me there's more to this then we think. Master Roshi's training hasn't exactly been easy." Goku said suspisciously.

"Ohhh! Watch out for big fish too!" Roshi called out.

"I told ya! There's probably sharks in here that we'll have to swim away from." Goku said.

As if on cue, a large great white shark jumped out of the water and almost munched on the two boys.

"WOW GOKU! YOU REALLY ARE PSYCHIC!" Krillin screamed while swimming away.

"I DIDN'T NEED TO BE PSYCHIC TO SEE THIS COMING!" Goku yelled back while trying to go underwater away from the shark's massive mouth full of sharp and big teeth.

"CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET AWAY FROM MAN EATING SHARKS?" Krillin screamed after resuracing.

"JUST SWIM AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO SHORE!" Goku yelled back while jumping away, almost getting chomped.

"THAT'S USELESS ADVICE! THE SHARK'S BITE OUR HEADS BEFORE THEN!" Krillin dove underwater just before the shark bit down on him.

"YOU'RE NOT HELPING MUCH EITHER KRILLIN!" Goku yelled back again trying to kick the shark's nose, but his feet were too short and kept missing.

They finally made it safely to shore and the shark went back underwater. "Oh man, I never want to swim with sharks again." Krillin sighed and panting.

"HEY! YOU TWO BOYS ARE NOT FINISH SWIMMING! GET BACK HERE!" Roshi called out from the otherside.

Goku and Krillin stared out at Master Roshi, they'll have to swim through the Waters of Doom and avoid the Jaws of Death to get back and neither were looking forward to doing it again.

"What're we going to do Goku? If we tried swimming back, that shark will eat us for sure." Krillin asked nervously to his friend.

"I'm thinking... hmm..." Goku tried to put his creative mind to gear.

Suddenly, a huge roar broke their concentration. Both boys turned around to see a giant dinosaur wanting to eat them!

"O-okay, new plan: SWIM FOR YOU LIFE!" Krillin screamed as they both dived into the water.

If it's not the sharks it's the dinosaurs. Now they're back to sharks and being chased while swimming for their poor lives.

After watching Jaws with my sister, I really hate sharks. Goku thought to himself while trying to jump away from the massive clamping jaws of the shark.

Well, after almost getting eaten, drowned and screaming at the top of their lungs, the two poor survivors finally made it back to Roshi in one piece.

"We're going to have to work on your speed. Well whatever, now's time to move on to the next training." Roshi said.

"There's more? What's this one going to be?" Krillin asked, dreading the answer.

"Just stop whining and follow me." Roshi snapped, quieting the boys.

Now the Turtle Hermit lead them to a construction site. Roshi was talking to one of the workers, who's probably the boss.

"Are you sure these two boys can really be good workers? They seem a little too young." the man said looking at the pint sized warriors.

"Trust me, after you see them work, you'll want to pay them triple the money." Roshi grinned.

"WHAT? TRIPLE?"

"Well we'll just have to see before we decide. Goku, Krillin, time to start digging."

"With our hands again?" Krillin moaned.

"Not this time Krillin, you can use tools, but no power tools."

Goku and Krillin picked up pickaxes and shovels. "Okay, let's get this done Krillin."

"Great, now we're construction workers, what's next?" Krillin groaned.

"Don't be like that Krillin, let's show them what we're made of."

So the two boys started digging up dirt and shoving the wheel barrels with piles of dirt faster then trucks. All the worker men were staring at the two speedy new recruits; they couldn't believe how fast they were going.

"TURN UP THE SPEED BOYS OR YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT TO THE TOURNAMENT!" Roshi yelled.

Goku and Krillin did indeed speed up, all the worker men were yelling at them to slow down because they almost got ran over.

Goku then noticed Krillin was slowing down. "It's no good... I can't... keep going..."

Goku went to Krillin's side and said, "Krillin, do you remember your days at Orin Temple? I was there that day when those jerks kicked you around."

Krillin looked at his friend, both of them remembering all too well what happen on that day when Goku decided to visit the Orin Temple to see his bald friend.

*Flashback*

It was two years ago, Goku just turned ten. The tailed boy looked out the window and Bulma noticed.

"What's wrong little brother? You're usually training by this time." Bulma asked.

"It's Krillin, I've been wondering how he's been doing back at the Orin Temple, he's been telling me he's been having a lot of hard time there lately."

"Orin Temple? I know where that place is, why don't you go visit him Goku?"

Goku looked at Bulma with a smile. "Really? Thank you big sis! So where is Orin Temple?"

After Bulma gave him the map to Orin Temple, the ten year old tailed boy soon found it on the outskirts of West City, away from the city and other people. Originally, Orin Temple was located in East City, but they moved here on the outskirts of West City recently.

Goku walked into the temple, and was shocked to see Krillin was getting his head kicked around by teen monks, all of them were making fun of him.

"Okay you win." Krillin moaned in pain, lying on the ground in pain.

"Heh, what a wimp! I can't believe the Master keeps you around when you're so pathetic." the fat bully (FB) mocked.

"Don't worry little Krillin, there's always the circus." the thin bully (TB) said while patting Krillin's bald head, before kicking his face.

"Hah! Now I know why Master keeps him here, he makes a great punching bag, one that actually yells in pain when you punch it."

Goku wasn't able to stay quiet after watching his one and only friend getting beaten to a bloody pulp by these arrogant people.

"STOP IT! Leave him alone!" Goku demanded angerily as he stood to defend his friend.

Everyone, including Krillin, were shocked to see the tailed boy coming out of nowhere and standing up to the weakest boy in Orin Temple.

"Eh? Who are you monkey brat? Get out of here, you don't belong in the Orin Temple." FB demanded.

"I'm not going to let you keep hurting Krillin." Goku snapped back.

"Would you look at that, the monkey boy is defending the bald boy, how fitting. Doesn't this remind of you of the story about the Monkey King journeying to the West with a monk?" TB mocked.

"Yeah, we better becareful or the monkey will hurt us." FB laughed.

"G... Goku... please just get out of here..." Krillin weakly said.

"Krillin, I won't leave you to get humiliated and kicked around again." Goku said to him.

"Goku, they've been doing this to me since I was four, I'm use to it, but if you don't get out of here, then they'll really hurt you." Krillin warned him.

"I don't care!"

"Fine then, let's kick this freak's tail and see if we can pull it out." both FB and TB charged at Goku.

The fight, in minor detail, didn't last very long. Goku wasn't very strong back then and he was outnumbered, the two bulles weren't the only monks in there. Goku was outnumbered and outmatched, not to mention one of them actually got a hold of his tail, his weakness, after that it was all down hill and Goku ended up like Krillin on the floor injured.

"What a wimp, he's just as pathetic as Krillin over there." TB laughed.

"Who needs a punching bag when you've got two of them that can cry when you beat them?" FB laughed as well as all the other bullies.

"Goku... I tried to to warn you... they're bullies and we're... too weak to fight them... they fought in the World Martial Arts Tournament before... we're not match for them." Krillin said to Goku weakly.

"Krillin... no matter what... we will get stronger then them... we'll find a way... to become Master Roshi's pupils... and show them we're not weak and pathetic... once and for all." Goku said weakly yet determinedly.

*End flashback*

"You remember the promise we made that day Krillin? After we both got beaten? We promised to always fight together and become stronger. We've finally made it this far, becoming the legendary Master Roshi's students, we have to keep going and do our best to train. I don't know about you, Krillin, but I'm willing to keep going until I drop." Goku said with determination filled in his ebony eyes.

"Right, I hear ya Goku. I remember that promise like it was yesterday. Come on, we have to go faster!" Krillin's spirit and motivation has returned. Remembering seeing his friend defending him like that in front of all those strong monks at the Orin Temple with no regards for himself made him want to do the same for Goku.

The boys sped up unbelievably fast, making them blurrs to everyone else. Krillin and Goku dug the ground so hard with their pixaxes that it actually broke the two pieces landed in front of Roshi and the worker boss, both of them jumped.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay whatever you'd like for them." the boss said clearly in awe of the boys' strength and speed.

After the construction, it was time for one more training.

"What's it going to be, Master?" Goku asked, almost dreading it.

"Well... let's just say I hope neither of you boys are allergic to bee stings." Roshi grinned mischeviously.

"I don't like where this is going." Krillin grumbled.

Well, it didn't take long to reach the forest. Roshi had tied the boys to a tree. "Now then, this'll help you think quick on your feet should you ever get put in a corner." Roshi said.

"I think we're about to die from wasps Krillin." Goku sweat dropped when he saw a large wasp nest just up in the tree.

"NOOOO! I'm too young to get stung!" Krillin cried.

Both of them gasped when Roshi hit the nest with his stick and ran for cover in the bushes. "Just concentrate and you won't get stung." he called from safety.

"ANGRY WASPS!" Goku and Krillin both cried when they saw swarms of angry wasp hornets coming right at them.

Unable to run away to safety due to the ropes tied around them, all they could really do is wail their arms around in hopes of smacking them away. All the poor boys could feel were hundreds of little needles piercing their skin.

Roshi was scolding them to not just run but dodge. "And how are we suppose to dodge hundreds of angry WASPS?" Goku screamed in both pain and annoyance.

Before the Turtle Hermit could reply back, a few stray wasps made their way to his head. Now all three of them were 'dodging' angry wasps.

Now the sun was setting. Goku and Krillin had it rough; their bodies were covered in bumbs and wasp stings. Roshi had one on his bald head.

"You two boys need to work on your dodging." Roshi grumbled.

"What a mess, I'm glad Bulma isn't here to see me like this." Goku grumbled, sometimes... most of the time, his big sister acts more like a mother then their actual mother.

"Master, please tell me the training isn't going to be this hard every single day." Krillin begged.

"Of course not Krillin, don't be silly. It'll be much harder. Starting tomorrow for the next eight months, you both will be doing the same exercises while turtle shells on your backs. I'd say they weigh about 50 tons." Roshi told them as if it was no big deal.

This sudden news had Krillin and Goku in a stump; they both fell to the ground.

"I don't think we'll survive this Goku." Krillin said to him.

"We can't give up Krillin. If we want to get stronger, we'll just have to survive the Turtle Hermit's way." Goku said, though tired, still filled with determination.

Can Goku and Krillin really survive Master Roshi's harsh training and make it to the tournament? Will Goku's vision of entering the tournament come to be? Find out, on the next Chapter of Dragon Ball Rewritten: Of Past, Present and Future.

To Be Continued...


Author's Note: They never gave a name to the bullies in Orin Temple, so I just referred to them as Fat Bully and Thin Bully. I knew Orin Temple was in East City, but since Goku lives in West City and he and Krillin are such good friends, I had to move it closer to West City, don't complain about that. Anyway, I know Goku's dream and his little chat with his future son was a bit confusing, but that was the point, don't worry, it'll make more sense as the story progesses.
