Hey guys, it's Liz! So, we have a three-way tie for first place for son kids Daichi, Chiyo, and Gochi, so they'll get their own stories first before the other three. (Don't worry; everyone will get their turn at some point. For now, let's give the floor on over to one of our new boys, Daichi!

Age 777

The morning Sun began to bathe Mt. Paozu in light as it rose into the sky to illuminate the sleeping world below. Birds began their early calls as the streams and lakes glistened from the rays of sunshine. A squirrel began to scurry about on the ground as dinosaurs big and small began to go on the hunt for their next meal.

Nestled within the mountain region was a small house that was only known to those who were aware that it existed. From the kitchen, a young woman with her hair in a bun was finishing up breakfast for her husband and children, a small hum escaping her as she finished up the necessary preparations for the morning meal. She finished setting the table with six sets of plates, cups, silverware, and napkins before going to grab the food off the stove. She placed it all on big plates and then put them in the center of the table so they could be grabbed by whomever.

"And there," Chi-Chi said as she went to the stairs. She wiped her hands with the smock that hung around her neck before calling up to the other occupants of the house. "Goku, Chinku, Daichi, Chibiko, Goten. Breakfast is ready."

Not even a second later, five pairs of feet could be heard shuffling from upstairs. Three bedroom doors opened and five people came rushing down the stairs faster than Chi-Chi could blink. When she looked to the table, she found her husband and four children already seated as if they appeared out of thin air. All five were piling the food on their plates and gobbling down faster than she could watch.

She sighed and sat down at the table between her husband and youngest son and got a plate of food for herself. While this was definitely a full house to be sure, Chi-Chi did wish that her two eldest, Gohan and Chiyo, were there to make the family complete. Still, she couldn't really complain much. After all, Gohan had just proposed to Videl a few weeks prior and was planning a wedding with her while Chiyo was finishing up at art school with high marks.

"Wow, breakfast is so delicious, Mom," Daichi remarked after finishing his second plate and reaching across the table for more.

"Why thank you, Daichi," Chi-Chi smiled, proud that her son noticed all the hard work she put into making breakfast.

Before she could follow-up with Daichi's comment, Daichi grabbed the plate with the stick of butter on it and said, "I don't think it could get any butter than this!"

This earned a collective groan from his two sisters, a confused look from his father, and a small laugh from his younger brother.

"Mom make him stop with the puns!" 11-year old Chibiko begged, a look of annoyance on her face.

"The puns are so awful!" 16-year old Chinku added on, running her fingers through her newly red-colored hair.

"I think they're funny," Goten giggled, thinking his older brother's jokes were the pinnacle of comedy.

"I'm not sure I get it," Goku admitted, not being one for understanding comedy.

"Man, tough crowd," Daichi remarked as he slid back into his seat and took in some more food to eat.

After finishing up his umpteenth plate, Goku finally felt full while the rest of his family was still eating. "Boy, that really hit the spot," He said as he patted his full stomach. With his basic need taken care of, Goku thought it would be a good idea to do some after-breakfast training. Of course, training like that required a sparring partner so he figured he'd ask his kids what they were up to in order to figure out who he'd be sparring with. "All right, so what's on the agenda for today, guys?"

"I'm heading to West city to meet up with some friends from school," Chinku answered. "We're gonna to see this new Barry Kahn movie that came out last night."

"And Trunks invited me and Chibi over to hang out at his place," Goten stated with Chibiko nodding to confirm these plans.

"He probably wants to show off his new video game system he got for his birthday," Chibiko theorized as she wiped her face clean of food with the napkin she had placed in her lap.

"Oh…sounds fun," Goku said after hearing about the three kids' plans. He had secretly hoped that at least one of them would say that they had nothing planned so he could suggest training. He noticed how as his kids got older, they became less and less interested in wanting to train. They wanted to do a bunch of other things now, which he didn't mind too much, but a part of him wished that things were how they used to be. Still, he didn't outwardly object because he knew that this was what would come now that the world was at peace.

"I'm not doing anything today, Dad," Daichi spoke up, catching Goku's attention. He hadn't said anything at this point because he had been eating when Goku had asked about everyone's plans for the day. "We can hang out today if you want to."

Hearing that Daichi wanted to hang out with him made Goku excited. Daichi wasn't super strong, but he would give Goku a bit of a challenge if he really put effort into it. "Yeah, sounds good to me!"

After breakfast was done and everyone went their separate ways, Goku and Daichi flew out a few miles from the house and out to the mountains. Goku had suggested doing some light training and the pre-teen was all down for that, considering that Daichi knew that any heavy training would probably be bad for him. (I mean, Goku could go Super Saiyan 3 for crying out loud!) They both soon touched down in a spot between mountains and surveyed the area for good measure. From what they could tell, there wouldn't be people for miles around. Perfect!

"All right, Daichi, you ready?" Goku asked, powering up into his Super Saiyan form right off the bat.

"Heck yeah!" Daichi stated, quickly jumping to Super Saiyan as well.

The two got into fighting stances and stared at one another, wondering who would make the first move. At the drop of a small stone from the mountains above, the two sprang into action and flew right at one another. They both exchanged blows between each other and dodged one another's attacks.

Goku soon got closer to hitting Daichi though and managed to graze a punch past the young boy's cheek. Daichi tried to counter by sending a kick to Goku's side. It managed to make contact and send Goku flying back towards a mountain. Just before hitting it, Goku stopped himself inches from making contact with the giant landmass. Using this as an opportunity, Daichi rushed towards Goku and delivered a good punch to his gut. While this momentarily stunned Goku, he soon recovered and delivered an elbow to Daichi's back that sent the boy face-first into the ground. The landing was so hard that it caused a small crater to form!

Thinking he had overdone it, Goku went to land down next to his son. "Daichi? You okay?" He asked upon seeing the young man like this.

Daichi didn't say anything for a minute. He didn't even stir.

Goku was about to freak out a bit at the thought he might've just killed his son when Daichi jumped up and threw a quick Kamehameha right at Goku. It was a direct hit from what Daichi could tell and he smirked at the action. "Gotcha, Dad," Daichi said, thinking he had actually gotten one over on his dad.

However, when the dust settled, Daichi found that Goku was gone, surprising the young boy. "Wait, what?!" He shouted when he saw this. "But, where did he-?"

Suddenly, he felt an energy from behind and saw that Goku had become a Super Saiyan two and was coming right for him. Daichi quickly put up his defenses and did his best to try and block the onslaught that was sure to come from his father's higher form. Unfortunately for Daichi, he couldn't block everything and received a few hard blows that sent him flying.

After about half an hour of going back and forth with each other, Goku and Daichi soon came to rest by a riverside and looking up at the sky. Daichi was panting heavily while Goku seemed like he could go for another few rounds at the very least. "Not bad, Daichi," Goku remarked as he looked over to his son. "I think that was our best match yet."

"Great," Daichi huffed, still trying to catch his breath. This was probably the hardest he had trained in a while.

After laying there for a few more minutes, Goku suddenly sat up when a great idea popped into his head. "You know what we should do now?" Goku told Daichi, leaning over to look at the young lad.

"Go back to the house and nap before lunch?" Daichi suggested, knowing all too well that that wasn't going to be happening anytime soon.

"No," Goku answered, not surprising Daichi in the slightest. "We should go to King Kai's place. There, we can really go all out with each other." Jumping to his feet, Goku stretched himself out a bit and then turned to Daichi. He extended his hand out for the boy on the ground to take. Once he did, Goku pulled him to his feet so he could stand on his own. "What do you say, Daichi? You wanna go with your old man to do some more intense training?"

Daichi nervously laughed at the idea of doing what Goku considered to be "intense" training. What did that even mean? The young boy knew that if his Dad really went all out, then he'd be toast! Still, the idea of seeing his Dad at full strength was pretty exciting to think about. What were some broken bones and internal bleeding when they had senzu beans, right? "Sure, why not?"

Goku, oblivious to social cues, didn't pick up on Daichi's nervousness and just was glad that the boy had agreed to his idea. "Awesome! Let's go!" The Saiyan warrior had Daichi grab a hold of him while he placed two fingers to his head and concentrated on King Kai's energy. Once he found it, the two disappeared from sight just as Daichi thought about backing out. He knew he should've had his will written out in advance.

King Kai was completely unaware that Goku would be popping by for an impromptu visit. All he was concerned about was washing his precious car. Just as he washing the vehicle's hubcaps until the sparkled, he heard the familiar "Yo!" of someone he felt on the fence about. Oh no, King Kai thought to himself. Not him!

The north kai stood up to find Goku standing on the other side of the car with a big grin on his face and Daichi by his side. "Yo, King Kai! How's it going?" Goku asked his former mentor.

"You mean other than the being dead thing, right?" King Kai snapped back at the Saiyan. He still had a bone to pick with Goku about that whole debacle. He could've used the dragon balls to wish him back, but no! Not only that, but to add insult to injury, unlike King Kai who truly did stay dead, Goku got to come back to life! He was about to say something else when he truly acknowledged Daichi there with him and remembered the boy from helping out his Father with Kid Buu. "Hey, you're that kid from before. It's Daichi, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's me," Daichi answered, surprised that King Kai would know who he was. Remembering his Mother's teachings on manners, Daichi quickly gave King Kai a bow of respect considering his status as of higher authority. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. King Kai, sir."

"Well, at least someone gives me the respect I deserve," King Kai retorted, sending a glare Goku's way. "Anyways, why are you here?"

"We came here to train at our maximum!" Goku declared with excitement.

"FORGET IT!" King Kai shouted, surprising both Goku and Daichi with his sudden change in demeanor.

"What? Why not?"

"Why not? WHY NOT?! Because the last time you were here, you brought Cell and blew us all up! That's why!"

Goku nervously laughed as he remembered that whole situation. "Oh that? Well, you got your planet back, didn't you?"

"GOKU! It's that kind of attitude that makes me not want you here!" King Kai's face was red with fury at the fact that Goku could be so brazenly oblivious to all the torment he had put the lord of worlds through all of these years. The higher being then fell to his knees. "Why couldn't you have come to me for comedy training? Why did it have to be martial arts? What did I do to deserve this?!"

Daichi's ears perked up when he heard this. Comedy? He thought to himself. Did he really say comedy? The young boy quickly went over to King Kai's side as he was getting off of his knees. "Mr. King Kai, sir, did you say that you do comedy?"

King Kai slightly perked up from his sorrowful mood when he heard this. "Yes, I did," He replied. "I happen to be the funniest of all the Kais out there. Why do you ask?"

The young pre-teen's eyes widened when his suspicions were confirmed. He knew what this meant; he had to get training from him! Bowing forward in front of King Kai, Daichi quickly proclaimed, "Please, Mr. King Kai, could you possibly teach me your comedic ways?"

Not only was King Kai taken aback by this, but so was Goku.

"Y-You want me to teach you comedy?" King Kai stuttered. Did someone really want him to be their comedic master? "Could you, run that by me again just so I can make sure I wasn't hearing things? You really want me to teach you comedy?"

"Yes sir!" Daichi nodded in confirmation. "It would be an honor if you would take me under your wing to train me."

While King Kai tried to properly process all this, Goku still remained confused. "Daichi, why would you want to do comedy training?" He questioned the young boy.

"Dad, I can do martial arts training at any time. But comedy training? It's hard to get a chance like that back home, unless I ask a clown. Besides, this is like receiving the best martial arts training imaginable. Like, his comedic training could be the equivalent of the best martial arts teacher, except, you know, for comedy."

Even though Goku didn't completely understand why Daichi would choose comedy training over martial arts training, he could tell that this meant a lot to Daichi. Just the excitement in Daichi's voice was enough to convince him that this was important to his son. He wanted to be supportive of his children's interests, even if they didn't make much sense to him.

With this little request from Daichi, King Kai saw a grand opportunity for himself. In order to act upon it though, he was going to have to test the boy first to see if this was even worth trying to pull off. "Before I decide whether or not to train you, I'll need to test you; you must tell your best jokes so that I may see what I have to work with."

"Hmmmmm." Daichi thought about what jokes he could use for this test. He knew he had to make them good, otherwise he could kiss the golden opportunity goodbye. "Oh, I got it: what do you call two doges leaving a sauna?"

A bit of a weird start, but King Kai would humor the child; "I don't know, what?"

"Hot dogs!"

King Kai gasped. "T-That joke…"

"Here's another one: what golf club is the funniest? A punter!"

Another gasp escaped King Kai. He was trying his best to hold back laughing. One more joke would do the trick for sure!

"So, how about that Vegeta? Sometimes he needs to learn to take a joke. I mean, I'm just Saiyan!"

That was the straw that broke the camel's back; King Kai busted into fits of laughter and found himself rolling on the ground. This was too much for him. "Stop, stop!" He begged between laughing fits. "I, I can't breathe!"

"…..I, don't get it," Goku admitted, not really getting all the puns.

King Kai quickly straightened himself up and dusted himself off to try and appear professional again. "Of course you wouldn't get it, Goku; you just don't understand comedy. Anyway, this has helped me to make a decision: Son Daichi, I shall take you under as my comedic apprentice!"

"All right!" Daichi cheered before trying to play it cool. "I mean, oh, that's cool. When do we start?"

"Right now."

"Well then, guess I'll just train by myself while you guys do your comedy stuff," Goku reasoned after hearing this revelation.

"Not so fast, Goku!" King Kai quickly stated. "If I am to train Daichi in the ways of comedy, then you can't be here doing your martial arts training!"

"Huh? Seriously?"

King Kai inwardly smirked. He could spin this to where he didn't have to worry about Goku messing up his planet for a little while. (Hey, didn't he deserve to catch a break every once and a while?) "Well you see, since I'll be teaching Daichi my secrets, I don't want an amateur to know them. You could ruin my comedic reputation, and you already got me killed, so this is the least you could do for me."

"Wow, you're never gonna let that go, are you?"

"Not until you wish me back with the Dragon Balls!"

Goku sighed. He was bummed that he was being told to go somewhere else to train. Still, if it was for Daichi, he'd give him the chance at this new opportunity. Besides, he could always go and bug Vegeta. "All right. I'll come pick you up for dinner then, Daichi. Listen to what King Kai has to say, got it?"

"Got it, Dad," Daichi nodded, a big grin on his face. He quickly ran over to Goku and gave him a quick hug. "And thanks." He was beam with happiness.

Goku smiled and nodded when he saw how excited his boy really was for all this. He then teleported back to Earth so he could let Daichi's training start.

The boy quickly sat down in front of King Kai as he pulled out a chalk board and began to write on it. "Now then, Daichi, we'll start with prop comedy and it's many facets….."

Daichi hung onto every word that King Kai had to say.

That does it for Daichi, for now. Hope you guys enjoyed the story! Let me know in the reviews your thoughts on Daichi. Do you like the punny boy? Tell me your thoughts and share the story with your friends. So long for now!
