Hello everyone, here is chapter 11.
Reviews: DbzReach and everyone else: The events in chapter 1 should be ignored since I am rewriting it to make it match the rest of the story. That chapter was written by Darkly Dreaming. If you had read the Author Notes in chapter 2 then you have found out that I changed the time line of the story. It took me a while to realise that I had created a giant plot whole.
EDIT 10/08/16: Please don't kill me for being so slow with updating this. Chapter 1 should make much more sense now that I have rewritten it. It actually fits the tone of the story now. You may or may not have noticed that I don't really like ChiChi and Bulma all that much, their behaviour (ChiChi's in particular) never seemed quite right in the show and because this is fanfiction anything within the realm reason and my imagination can (and most likely will) happen.
EDIT 22/08/16: Hello everyone, I'm sorry this has taken so long. Thank you to everyone who has read this story and a special thanks to LuciferTheMorningstarIsASweetheart on Ao3. Thank you so much for looking over the chapter and helping get over my writers' block.
EDIT 23/08/16: I really should have done this yesterday and taken out the last part because it doesn't really make sense, I've changed my mind for what I want to do for chapter 11 thankyou again to LuciferTheMorningstarIsASweetheart on Ao3 for giving me the idea. You have been a massive help. Thankyou to everyone who has read this story and leaves a review. If you want to ask me something your more then welcome as long as it pertains to chapter 1 - 11. Please enjoy and have a good day/night
Chapter 11: Problem Solved
Date: 3/9/15 - 22/08/16
Time: 11:45 pm - 11:02 am
Idea: this is the answer as to why Gohan is older and Bulla, Trunks, Pan and Goten are in the story when they don't come until later.
"Hang on, Gohan how old are you?" I asked, something about this didn't seem at all right, Goku had said that Gohan was six years old, he looked around the living room, he could see pictures of Trunks and Bulla along with the other Z-fighters but there was something off with the pictures, they looked like they hadn't been touched in a very long time.
Normal P.O.V
"I'm thirty-three why?" Gohan replied not understanding why Bardock wanted to know, Goku looked at him confused as to why his father would want to know how old Gohan was. He though back to when he defeated Frieza, that couldn't be right he hadn't even fought Frieza yet.
"Because I was told that you were six years was old, somethings not right," Bardock said Goku nodded in agreement thinking over everything, he knew that there was something he was missing but he didn't know what it was.
"I can remember becoming a super saiyan and beating Frieza but that can't be right since I hadn't even started to train, what on earth is going on?" Goku asked he was just as confused as everyone else, it was clear something had happened but they didn't know what.
"That's because you both were transported to the future, Goku replace himself in this time. Yeah I know it doesn't make much sense but it was the only explanation we could come up with," Bulla Sr said everyone nodded it made some sort of sense, it was still hard to wrap his head around.
"It took a little time for me to wrap my head around things, I never was able to come up with a reason as to how we ended up here, I'm pretty sure that Shannon had something to do with it though, since he did look rather smug the next time I saw him," Goku Sr. said as he leaned against the wall.
"Well that explains it then," Goku said as he smiled at Pan who was curled up against his side, Bulla and Trunks walked back into the room carrying four plates, Bulla handed one to Vegeta and sat down next to him while Trunks sat down with his own plate after handing the other plate to Goku who smiled in thanks and quickly ate it before Pan could steel any.
"Explains what?" Pan asked looking up at Goku not understanding what he was talking about, not that he expected her too. Goku frowned which made him look more like his father. He had realised that he was far stronger than he had been before and had memories of things he couldn't remember doing or had done.
"Why I have memories of beating Frieza. Along with several other enemies that I know that I haven't fought yet" Goku said, rubbing his head. He could feel the start of a headache coming on. Pan stared at him not really sure what to say. They knew time travel was possible since Trunks had done it before but that didn't mean it was any less confusing when it happened.
"I remember beating Frieza and becoming a Super Saiyan and much more even though I know haven't done it yet. I had just been killed by Raditz and was going to King Kai for help when I fell off Snakes Way," Goku said as he looked over at Goten. He hoped that his son would be alright. He still couldn't believe that ChiChi would do something like that though now that he thought about it.
ChiChi had always been very controlling and always treated him like a child. There had always been a strange look in her eyes whenever the Z-fighters were around. She was very reluctant to let Gohan and Goten do anything with Vegeta and most certainly didn't approve of Gohan's relationship with Piccolo which she thought was strange and unnatural.
"What do we do now?" Gohan asked running a hand through his hair, a habit he had picked up from Goku. He had a feeling that ChiChi and Bulma had something else planned. They never gave up once they had their mind set on something. In this case it was making their children as human and non-alien as possible.
"They are going to try something else. They never give up easily, if they did then they wouldn't be where they are now," Piccolo said finishing Gohan thought not that he realised it. Goku smiled a little, He knew that Piccolo had a very good point.
ChiChi and Bulma never gave up. Once they had their minds set on something. There was no way they would lasted this long otherwise. Goku had always found it strange how close ChiChi and Bulma were but almost never let Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Bulla and Pan spend time with Vegeta or the Z-Fighters.
Now that he thought about it Bulma had encouged Trunks and Pan to focus more on their school work and less on what Vegeta was trying to teach them much like ChiChi had done with Gohan and mostly failed to do with Goten, Pan was a completely different story.
Goku knew he should have seen the signs that something was wrong earlier but with how little he was around it wasn't surprising that he hadn't noticed that something was wrong. He had known that ChiChi hadn't been that happy that he was 'away' (read: dead) so often, the fact that they barely had any money and the that he couldn't act like a human.
When Gohan was old enough he managed to hold a job while also going to school and stopping crime, Goten helped as much as he could which made things a little easier on Gohan since he was the one bring in the money. Goten would often help Vegeta, Bulma or any of the Z-Fighter with any little jobs that they needed to get done and he would get a bit of money in return.
Even though he wasn't around all that often he tried to spend as much time with Gohan, Goten and Pan as he could when he wasn't dead or saving the world. He knew that he wasn't really the best role model in the world but he did try. He was thankful that Vegeta had taken care of Gohan and Goten after the Cell games.
"I'm sure they have something planned. But will deal with it when it come up," Goku said smiling a little to himself even if it was a touch sad. They all nodded, Goku sighed as he looked over at Goten, hoping that he would be alright once he woke up. Whenever that would be.
Vegeta's P.O.V
I could tell that Kakarot was still shaken by recent events but was much calmer and more in controlling of himself then he was before their sparing session. ChiChi and the Women most certainly would have something planned for the future but we will cross that bridge when we got there.
We had far more pressing matter's to deal with other then what the two Banshee's were planning.
When I first arrived on earth and fought Kakarot I could tell that there was something different about him. After I had join the Z-fighters he noticed that ChiChi didn't respect Kakarot at all and seemed very reluctant in letting Gohan learn how to fight.
Not because she was worried about him getting hurt (because he most defiantly would…in some way) but because of something else much more… deadly. I got the feeling that Gohan wasn't safe with ChiChi. He seemed rather independent for a seven-year-old which seemed to annoy ChiChi.
I started to notice other things after a while that made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. The thing that was the most worrying was just how little Gohan trained when he seemed to enjoy it a great which wasn't really that surprising since it was our favourite pass time.
Every time I saw him training I got the feeling that he had limited time and was making the most of it while he had the chance. I wasn't that surprised when Gohan and Goten started to visit quite often after the Cell Games under the pretence of Goten spending some time with someone his age.
I could tell that they were both having a hard time and just wanted to get away from ChiChi for a little while. Despite what the ChiChi, Bulma and the Z-Fighters thought I really didn't mind Gohan and Goten being around so much even though everyone seemed to think that I did.
Bulma yelled a lot less now that Gohan and Goten were around which was a god send. Because they were around so often Goten wanted to know what it was like on Planet Vegeta, when he had first asked when the Z-Fighter were over, they all froze like they were expecting me to snap at him and tell him he was being stupid and really he should already know.
I'm not that cruel. I could tell that he was curious though I never did understand the look that ChiChi and Bulma were giving me, making it quite clear that they didn't want me to say a thing… needless to say Bulma wasn't really that happy with me after that. I haven't the slightest idea why.
Finally finished. This chapter really didn't want to write itself. Its one of my shorter chapters since its only three pages long and only has 1873 words. Chapter 12 should be up soon. Though I can't make any promises. Though I will try and get it up before I go away on the 23 of September. I hope everyone has enjoyed the chapter. Again I'm sorry it has taken me so long to write. I can't believe this story has 7,526 views. Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed this story so far.
