Chapter Ten: Surprise, Surprise

"Speech"

'Thought'

Dream

_Line Break_

Ever since Lime had unlocked her energy, she used every waking minute to practice. It took her awhile but finally after nearly two months, she was able to fly, all be it, slowly to Gohan's home. During that time, she had Gohan teach her how to produce energy blasts. Granted she had no prior training, until Gohan took her under his wing, Lime was able to throw small blasts that even though couldn't hurt any of the Z-Fighters, could knock a normal human out.

The following weeks also had the Son family make a move to Capsule Corp located in West City. The reason being, even though Chi-Chi was only seven months pregnant, Bulma thought it best for the soon to be mother of two to be close to a hospital when the time came to deliver the baby. Chi-Chi also declined an offer from Bulma to find out the gender of the baby, saying she would find out when he/she were born.

Also during that time the people known as 'Anti-Satan' lost much of their faith. Even though a handful of the mystery fighters had been identified; Krillin, Yamacha, and Tien, being the fighters identified, only Yamcha could be found, and he wasn't talking. So what was currently going on?

"Get ready, now!" Gohan shouted as he tossed two groups of three rocks into the air for Lime to blast; and blast them she did.

"Yes, I've finally been able to get all six of them in one go around." Lime shouted with a big smile.

"Great job Lime! So do you want to take a break?"

Sitting down Lime gave a few nods. "So, are you ready to be a big brother soon?"

Shrugging Gohan answered. "Yes and no. I'm excited but also really nervous. Sure I'm great at watching Trunks, but I'm not totally sure if the baby will even like me."

"Gohan trust me, you're going to make a great big brother, and I'm positive that when the baby gets old enough to decide what he or she likes or dislikes, that he or she will love you."

Gohan gave Lime a big smile, and thanked her. As the two were relaxing, soon Bulma's voice came through the speakers and asked that they both come to the main living room. Once they walked in Bulma and Chi-Chi were both holding a cup of tea and laughing lightly.

"What did you need Bulma?" Gohan asked standing next to his mother.

"Actually, I wanted to let you know that Lime's grandfather has called and is requesting her presence back home within the next hour." Bulma answered. Before either of the kids could ask, Chi-Chi spoke up.

"Now I want you to go with her Gohan. I understand that Lime is able to fly well, but she is still very green, and she was also training. So why don't you go clean up, and head out."

Lime quickly headed to a bathroom and started to get cleaned up. She slightly wondered why she was needed back home a few days earlier than she expected. 'Well I guess that I'll find out soon. I just hope that nothing serious has happened.' Lime thought as she got out and got dressed, and ran down stairs where the others were waiting.

Coming to a halt Lime announced her presence to the others. "I'm ready to go whenever you are Gohan."

Giving his mother a quick hug and a couple good-byes Gohan and Lime headed towards Chazke Village. For Gohan a trip from West City to Chazke Village would take maybe fifteen, twenty minutes tops, but since Lime had only been flying for a short time, the total time was almost double. Even though it took that long of time, it was enjoyable for the two kids. It was something about the fresh air and the view that made it peaceful.

It took about thirty minutes for the duo to reach Chazke Village and landed just inside of the village. Not a single person questioned how two kids could fly, seeing that a large majority of them were scammed by Mr. Borbonne, and witnessed, the boy they now knew as Gohan, save them and later learned that he was indeed the true savior of the world.

As the two were walking towards Lime's home, they saw that Mr. Lao was standing outside eyes closed and a smile on his face and both said hello. "Hello to you two as well, I'm glad that you both made it here fairly quickly. Can I have you two stay here for a few moments while I head inside?" Getting nods from both kids, Mr. Lao went inside, and returned moments later.

"Alright Lime I have a surprise for you, so why don't you close your eyes and I'll tell you when to open them; Gohan why don't you come stand by me?" As both kids complied, Mr. Lao motioned for someone to come out of the shop/home, and Gohan was surprised to see a man and a woman, but remained quiet, until Lime was told to open her eyes.

"Alright Lime you can open your eyes." Mr. Lao said with a big smile. Upon opening her eyes Limes eyes went wide as she recognized who were standing only feet from her.

"MOM, DAD! I'm so happy to see you again." Lime shouted happily, running up and giving them a big hug. Sure she seen her parents shortly after Cell was killed, but her parents said they needed to do something important, and wouldn't make sense if Lime came along. That was roughly five months ago.

Returning the hug all three of them had a large smile on their face. Lime finally asked what was on her mind. "When did you guys get back?"

Limes father was the one to answer Limes question. "We got back yesterday, however after your mother and I spoke with my father {Mr. Lao} we decided to wait until today, since you were away spending time with your friend, Gohan, the true savior of the world."

"Wait, how do you know that I'm the savior of the world?" Gohan asked finally breaking his silence.

Chuckling Limes mother answered this time. "Well you did just confirm my husband's statement; however, it was during the time that we spent while we were 'dead' that we were able to somehow feel the fight that was going on. I'm not sure how we were able to do so, we just were. Also John; my husband, has had some training in the real art of martial arts, so he was able to confirm his theory when you and Lime showed up."

Putting his hand behind his head in the classic Son way, Gohan noticed that he did indeed confirm their thoughts. However it was the part of the statement about being able to feel the fight from Otherworld that surprised Gohan. "Hold on a second. If you guys could feel what was going on, I wonder just how many others could as well. Not only that, but were you able to distinguish who was who?"

"Well from what I can recall, yes. Everyone that we came across looked just like a normal person. Why do you ask?" John replied.

"It was something that I was always curious about. I heard stories about strong warriors being able to keep their bodies, but not about normal everyday people." Gohan stated.

"I see." Johan started. "Like I said, Liz and I could see ourselves and everyone else in 'heaven', however, it was strange, anyone who recently died, came in a small cloud form. Strange."

After a few more minutes Gohan decided he should head back to Capsule Corp, and said his good-byes to Lime, her parents and Mr. Lao. Once Gohan left the family went inside and continued their small reunion. As soon as Gohan got back he found his mother, Bulma and surprisingly Vegeta sitting in the living room relaxing.

Gohan said hello to the people in the living room and went to the room that was set up for him; causing the others to raise an eyebrow at his behavior. ChiChi decided she needed to go check up on her son. As soon as she reached her sons temporary room she stopped and thought about what she was going to ask him.

"Gohan? Can I come in?" ChiChi asked with worry in her voice.

"Of course you can mom." Gohan answered.

"Sweetie, is everything alright? When you left earlier with Lime you were really happy, and when you came back, it seems like your something happened."

"Nothings wrong mom." Gohan stated with a smile.

Frowning ChiChi sat down on the bed and looked at her son right in the eyes and spoke up. "Gohan Son, how can you sit here and try to lie to me? Has anyone told you that one: you are a horrible liar, and two: you should never lie to your mother." ChiChi finished her small rant with a sigh.

"I'm sorry mom, I just have a lot on my mind lately."

"Do you want to talk about it?" ChiChi stated in more of a demand than a question.

Shrugging, Gohan began. "Well, I'm really glad that Lime's parents are back, I remember being told that her parents were there for a little while, but left, so she knew that they were alive, but now I hope that she and I stay friends." As Gohan finished his mother gave him a look as if saying I know that there is more, so continue. "Also I'm worried about the baby."

Cutting off her son ChiChi asked why.

"Well, I'm nervous that the baby won't like me. I mean that in a way I did cause our dads death and." That was as far a Gohan got as he was slapped by his mother.

"Gohan how can you say such a thing? You had nothing to do with your father's death. Cell is the one who killed him. There won't be a reason for your brother or sister to hate you. You are a very caring person. Do you understand me?" After getting over the shock of being slapped by is mother, Gohan slowly nodded that he understood. "Now, I'm sure that Lime will still want to be you friend. I mean you told her everything about yourself and she didn't run away, why would she now that her parents are back?"

"I guess you're right. Do you think I could lay down and rest? I'll do the homework that you gave me tomorrow. I promise."

"Alright, just don't make a habit of putting off your homework, ok?" With that ChiChi gave he son a hug and got up and left him to rest.

After a while Gohan fell asleep and was sleeping well until a voice came to him.

"Gohan. Oh Gohan. Can you hear me?"

Looking around Gohan couldn't find the source of the voice, and was beginning to panic. "Show yourself, now."

"What is wrong Gohan aren't you happy to hear from me?" The voice seemed to be getting closer.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Gohan pleaded.

All of a sudden a blinding white light appeared and Gohan was forced to shut his eyes. Once the light died down, a figure appeared and Gohan was finally able to make out the figures appearance. "Dad!? Where am I?"

Chuckling at his son's behavior Goku answered. "Well I heard about what you and your mom were talking about earlier today, and I figured that should talk to you."

"But dad how is it possible for you to talk to me?"

"Long story short, I won a tournament, and I was either allowed to be trained by the Grand Kai or come up with something that didn't involve being granted another life. So after thinking it over for awhile I decided that I wanted to be able to talk to my friends and family whenever I wanted. So here I am."

Going over to his dad and giving him a big hug Gohan wasn't sure what to do. "Dad, what can we do while we are in this place?" Gohan asked.

"Anything you want to do son, have anything in mind?" Goku asked breaking the hug.

Thinking it over, Gohan got a big smile on his face and answered with a single word. "Training."

_Line Break_

Well here is chapter ten. I would like to say I am very sorry for the delay, but I have been working a lot in the last month. Hope you guys and gals can forgive me. I am not totally sure how much I am going to concentrate on Goku, but I'll include him every once in awhile.

Thanks and until next time.
