"Gohan! Don't forget to put on sunscreen!" Chi-chi yelled from the front door of the house.

Kate and Gohan were jogging up the driveway to Kate's red sports car. She wore denim shorts, and a white tank, while Gohan wore red shorts and
white t-shirt.

"Yes mom! Love you!"

They hopped in the car, and drove away. Kate made sure not to drive too fast to not worry Chi-Chi.

"Have you ever been to Duranarama?!" She couldn't seem to contain her excitement.

"What?! Are we actually going there?!" Gohan couldn't contain his excitement either, having only heard of Duranarama through commercials on both the radio, and television. It was the biggest theme park in the world.

"You bet! And it's perfect since their new rollercoaster just opened today."

Gohan started to bounce in his seat. "Wow I can't wait!"

-

Night had finally fallen as the two marched through the theme park.

Gohan had won every single game he played, and traded all his toys in for a life-sized dragon toy that looked similar to his old pet dragon Icarus. He
proudly walked around carrying the toy over his head.

Kate looked through the theme park's guide.

"Games: check, food: check, rides: ch— wait." She called Gohan in closer to look at the map with her. "We totally forgot about the new ride!" They
looked around and finally saw it.

A huge sign read 'The Goliath', and the name was fitting for the menacing looking roller coaster that had a 500 Foot drop. Kate felt her stomach
turn.

She dropped the map as Gohan grabbed her hand and began to run towards the ride.

"Oh wow! This is gonna be so awesome!"

Kate swallowed hard as the attendant buckled them in. Gohan wouldn't stop smiling from excitement.

"All right folks, make sure to remove all loose items from your pockets before riding. It's one big drop!"

The riders cheered as the ride began.

Kate closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Seeing Gohan so happy eased her mind a bit, but she just had a bad feeling about this ride.

Stop being such a wimp.

The ride started with a jolt, and consisted of twists, turns, and dips. It wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, until the coaster slowly approached the 500ft drop. Kate's heart was in her throat. She began to mentally prepare herself, but was interrupted by the sound of metal breaking under her and Gohan's cart.

"GOHAN!"

The boy was oblivious to Kate yelling at him, as well as the breaking noises under their cart. He was distracted by adrenaline, the cheers of the rest of the riders, and his own laughter.

"GOHAN!"

There was a pop from under their cart, and Kate watched in horror as screws and pieces of metal shot into the air and down to the ground—that was going to happen to them in a few seconds.

She tried to remove the buckle but it was locked. She grabbed one of the metal pieces that had come off of the cart and began to saw at Gohan's strap.

Gohan looked over at Kate to see if she was having fun, but then stopped his laughter when he noticed her cutting his strap.

"What are you doing?!"

Kate was sweating profusely, as the coaster came closer to the drop.

"Gohan! Once I cut you out of here I'm going to hoist you into the cart behind us, and you'll need to hold on as tight as you can, okay?!"

Gohan screamed out of shock.

"But Auntie—"

The belt finally snapped.

"Got it!" She grabbed Gohan by his waist and used all her strength to try and push him into the cart behind them. The couple behind in the cart
grabbed Gohan, realizing what was happening.

Just as Gohan got into the cart he yelled.

"BUT AUNTIE! I CAN FLY!"

Kate's face went blank as the realization suddenly came to mind. It was too late.

The coaster began to drop.

Gohan tried to reach for Kate but only managed to grab her buckle—causing it to snap.

He tried to fly and reach her, but the couple held him back. Unaware that he was not a regular 6 year old boy.

Kate's cart fell off the tracks, and she screamed as she fell out of the cart—unable to hold on.

Her screams went silent as she began to fall faster. She looked up and saw Gohan crying.

I'm sorry.

There was nothing she could do now. She closed her eyes and accepted her fate—at least she would go knowing that her last few days were some of the best ones she'd ever had.

She suddenly felt her body hit something hard—but it was too warm to be pavement.

Was this what dying felt like?

The feeling of falling stopped. It now felt like she was floating.

She opened her eyes and saw his stern eyes looking at her.

"Piccolo?"

His face stayed expressionless as he landed near the exit of the roller coaster.

He didn't say a word, but remained carrying her until Gohan arrived.

Gohan thanked the couple who helped him before running over to Kate and Piccolo.

"Piccolo! Is she gonna be okay?!"

Kate smiled wearily at Gohan before lowering herself down from Piccolo's arms. His arms tensed—unsure if she was in fact okay to walk. She looked at him reassuringly, and lowered herself to the ground.

Gohan hugged her as hard as he could.

"Auntie! You saved my life, I'm so happy you're alright. Thank you." A few tears began to well up in his eyes.

She rubbed his hair and smiled again—feeling rather emotional as well. She then turned to Piccolo.

"Thank you."

He nodded, and then suddenly turned towards an overweight man who was running towards them. He was pale, with red hair, a beard—and a very obvious receding hairline.

"Thank GOD you guys are okay! Boy what an amazing catch though! Real amazing! I thought—" before he could finish, Piccolo picked him up by the collar with one hand.

"Listen here you piece of shit. Your pity words are never going to make up for putting their lives at risk." He pointed towards Gohan and Kate.

The man shook in fear.

"You'd better get rid of that coaster before I get rid of you instead."

The man screamed and started to pat Piccolo's hands before he dropped him onto the ground.

"Now, now, let's not get hasty. I'm sure we can find a way to make everyone happy.….Horace!" Just then, a smaller man came running towards
them with several items.

"You like dragons, right kid?" The small man opened a large box shakily, revealing 5 more of the Icarus toys all in different colors. Gohan smiled and ran towards the box.

"Don't worry; we have something for your mommy too!"

Kate blushed, but then looked in awe as the man opened another box full of fine dresses and jewelry. She recognized the items from one of the stands Gohan and her had walked by earlier. The man tried to hand the box to her but was then stopped by Piccolo.

"I had a feeling you'd all be stupid, but I didn't think you'd be blind as well. There's no way she can carry that thing with the condition she's in. No thanks to you idiots." He grabbed the box from the man, and Horace quickly scurried behind his senior.

Piccolo turned back to face Kate.

"Are you able to walk?"

Kate blushed. A bit taken aback by him. This was the first time they were actually talking.

"I'm not too sure." She tried to take a step, but fell over within seconds. She gasped as Piccolo caught her by the waist with his free hand. They locked eyes for a moment before Piccolo called Gohan. He quickly rushed over—the box full of toys in his hands.

"Gohan, I'm gonna need you to take this box. I'll carry her to her car."

The boy nodded and took the box from his master.

Piccolo then looked back at Kate.

"Ready?"

She nodded, and he picked her up gently. This time she wrapped his arms around his neck so he didn't have to worry about her slipping. They looked away from each other—both feeling a bit awkward.

As they began to leave, the overweight man began to wave goodbye.

"Thank you so much for your consideration! Hope you like the presents! I hope you guys know to keep this all on the down low. Right?" He laughed nervously, his breathing heavier than usual.

Piccolo stopped and turned around.

"Oh—one more thing."

He lifted his index finger and sent a small ki blast towards the roller coaster—destroying it in seconds.

The man's jaw dropped, as he looked back at the coaster. Before he could say anything else—they were gone.
