Princesa de la Luna: Yes, thank you lol

Makai Alexa: Don't you know it's never a good idea to tell an author to not do something? Because then they go ahead and do it just to spite you? MUAHAHAHA… We'll see how things go…

While Gohan and Videl's house was contracted and began construction the couple decided to stay and visit with Chichi and Ox-King. Chichi and her father stood outside as they awaited the couple's arrival. When Gohan and Videl did arrive they landed in the front yard and smiled at the two awaiting them.
"Where are all your things?" Chichi asked looking about them; they stood there with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
"Right here mom." Videl said happily, pulling out a little box containing a couple capsules, she selected one and showed it to her. "This contains a cargo-loader; it was a gift from Harold, the leader of the refugee camp I lived at before I met Gohan." She explained and pocketed the little box with capsules again.
"Oh! I see." Chichi commented and then smiled and went over to hug her son and daughter-in-law. "Oh I've missed you two!" She said happily and let her father have a turn in giving them his bear hugs as well. The morning went smoothly, with Gohan and Videl settling in Gohan's old room with an extra mattress so the couple could sleep more comfortably. While Gohan went out with his grandpa to bond a bit Videl went with Chichi to the grocery store.
When everyone had returned to the small house and had lunch they spent some time sitting around the fireplace, swapping stories and sipping tea. Soon dinner time began to approach and Chichi excused herself to prepare, Videl following her to see if she could be of some assistance. Gohan and his grandpa Ox King remained seating and spoke of old times and new.
"So Grandpa… I heard a rumor somewhere once that the Ox King terrorized people from his castle on a… fire mountain?" Gohan probed, grinning up at his grandfather's suddenly flushed face.
"Well, it was a long time ago… before we met your dad… boy was that a welcome surprise, Goku was such a good boy, always helping other without a second thought… oh, right about my past, well… I'm ashamed to admit I was a bad man before I met your dad… I was always so angry that people wanted to go to my castle and steal my treasure… well, I suppose it was for the better that Master-Roshi blew it all away with a Kamehame wave…" Ox King explained, not missing the pained expression Gohan tried to hide from the mention of his father.
"Master Roshi? He knows how to do a Kamehame wave?!" Gohan questioned surprised and incredulous.
"Hah! Of course! He invented that technique!" Ox King laughed and patted his grandson's shoulder.
"I never would have thought…" Gohan trailed off and smiled suddenly. "Well, maybe it makes since… he trained Krillin and… my dad." He nodded.
"He trained me and your great-grandpa too!" Ox King declared proudly.
"Supper's ready!" Chichi called from the kitchen.
"Oh boy!" Ox King stood with Gohan and the two entered the room, amused by the sight of Videl trying to help out in the kitchen and Chichi swatting her away saying how she's a guest and shouldn't have to work.
"Smells delicious mom." Gohan said kissing his mother's cheek as he sat down next to Videl at the large table. The four ate in content silence, Videl watched, still mildly surprised, as Gohan inhaled a mountain of food quicker than anything she had ever seen. "Ahh…" Gohan pat his belly in satisfaction.
"Oh Gohan… you're so much like your father…" Chichi said with a giggle. Gohan smiled at the comparison, hearing something very similar from Bulma… of course, this was not the first time his mother had compared Gohan to his dad, but it still brought a smile to his face.
"About that mom… we need to talk…" Gohan began.
"Yes, I suppose we do… dad, can you show Videl up to their room?" Chichi asked politely. Videl held in a protest and went with her grandfather-in-law out of the kitchen. "What is this about Gohan?" Chichi asked her son, having a feeling what it was he wanted to talk about.
"Mom… I know you've always had a dream that I'd become a doctor, or orthopedist, or something scholarly like that but… I'm afraid I just can't do that, especially now…" Gohan said slowly, waiting for his mother to snap and yell at him. When she said or did nothing, just sat there and listened quietly, he cautiously went on. "I've decided that I'm going to follow in dad's footsteps… I'm not saying that I'll never read or aspire for more, I won't be a "ruffian" but I do intend on protecting this planet to the best of my abilities." He finished, sitting straight in his seat.
"Yes… I suspected you wanted to talk about this…" Chichi sighed. "Somehow, I knew that no matter what I said, you'd follow the same path your father took… I can't say I'm pleased and I can't say I approve… but… if it's something you have your heart set on then I know it's something you'll never change your mind about… alright Gohan… I don't have to like it, but I accept whatever decision you make." Chichi smiled up at her son's flabbergasted expression.
"Wha…" Gohan was at loss for words.
"Gohan, I'm your mother, don't look so shocked, I'll go along with whatever makes you happy…" She said with a defeated sigh. Gohan suddenly grinned and kissed his mother's cheek again.
"Thank you mom!" He exclaimed happily.
"You're welcome!" Chichi laughed and pat her son on the shoulder. "Now, it's getting pretty late don't you think?" she said, watching Gohan try to hold in a yawn. "How about we all head to bed?" She suggested, kissing her son's hair and heading to her room. Gohan followed her down the hall shortly after, entering his room where Videl was waiting for him.
"What's up?" Videl asked curiously.
"Not much, I just let mom know what I wanted to do in life…" He explained with a cheesy smile and got under the covers with her after stripping down to his undergarments. When morning came and the small family had freshened up and joined each other for breakfast a knock on the door was heard. Chichi stood and walked over, opening it and smiling at the surprise guest.
"Trunks dear, what can I do for you?" Chichi asked the young man affectionately.
"Good morning Mrs. Son, I was wondering if Gohan wanted to spar a bit?" Trunks asked, giving a small bow.
"Hold on, let me see." She said turning. "Go-" but Gohan stood right there behind her, looking just as eager for a spar as Trunks. Chichi turned and smiled. "It looks like he does." She said and stepped out of the way, heading back into the kitchen with her father and Videl.
"Hey Trunks!" Gohan greeted. "Ready to spar?" he said, stepping out and closing the door behind him.
"Yeah! My… Vegeta was in the gravity room training this morning… he ignored me when I asked him if he wanted to spar… and I couldn't find Piccolo anywhere, so I thought that maybe you wanted to? I know you gave us all a few days rest from your training… I'm sorry if I was interrupting anything…" Trunks explained.
"Nonsense, I always have time for a good fight!" Gohan said and stepped further out in the open with the younger Saiyan. "Ready?" He asked getting to a good position.
"Yup!" Trunks responded and quicker than light the two went at it, punching, kicking, dodging, and blocking. Sitting cross-legged on top of a ridge overlooking the quaint little house on the peaceful mountain Piccolo watched with interest as his former pupil trained his student much like Piccolo had when Gohan was young.
'He turned out to be a superb teacher.' Were the Namek's thoughts as he observed the training session, 'If he can keep training himself, and maybe that kid and the rest of us too, there could be hope for whatever comes by…' He thought, allowing a small smile to cross his lips as he watched Gohan rile his pupil into transforming and releasing a sudden and powerful assailment on his master - it was similar to when Piccolo had angered Gohan enough to release his hidden potential.
When Piccolo first "met" Gohan, he had initially despised the noisy, winy, little brat... but eventually, as time went by, and the ever kind and gentle Gohan stuck to whatever Piccolo ordered of him, he became fond of him... in time, he even began to see the kid as a son he never had. Now, he was glad he had made that choice, long, long ago, to train Gohan, to cure him of his fear of fighting and confrontations... it was a good choice, it may have brought upon pain in Gohan's life, but in the end, it saved him countless times.
"Looks like they're at it again…" Chichi commented from behind her coffee mug. Dust fell from the ceiling like it always did when either Gohan or Trunks was thrown against the house by a blast or two.
"One of these days they're going to break something and are going to have to answer to something far scarier than an enraged Super-Saiyan…" Ox King trailed off.
"…Really? Like what?" Videl asked curiously, wondering if there was someone or something out there that was stronger than a Saiyan.
"Chichi of course!" Ox King declared and guffawed loudly. Videl expected Chichi to be angry or offended by such a comparison but in fact, she was smirking.
"I see…" Videl said with an amused glint in her eyes. 'So the boys are afraid of something…' Videl mused, understanding what her grandfather-in-law meant. Elsewhere, in a small planet floating above Snake-Way, King Kai was about to receive a surprising guest from two certain beings with devastating news about the future ahead…
