Recap: "Terra!? What happened to Terra and the rest of them!?" Piccolo's hushed the child, "Quiet do you even know what time it is? It 2:00 in the morning! And as for Terra, she's all right just a hit to the head nothing more. In fact that what most of them suffered from. Oh yeah….we got two more recruits. Tapion's kids Gohan and Pan showed up and after a lot of begging and whining she agreed to let them fight." Gohan smiled but soon that turned to a frown, "But what about the androids?" Piccolo's face turned grim, "We lost them." "But that means……." "That's right," a voice said and Gohan turned to see Terra, "We're not dealing with Cell any more, We got a Perfect Cell on our hands now."
"This is just great! THIS IS JUST ABSO-FUCKING-LUTLY GREAT!!!" Dende screamed angrily. "Dende watch your mouth!" Piccolo yelled. But Dende paid no heed, "What do you mean you can't remember!!! Terra this is important. How can you not remember what made Cell leave!?" Terra was holding her head and looked extremely frustrated, "I don't know Dende it's all a blank." Dende looked at his father then at his brother his look of anger returned and he faced Terra. He grabbed her by the front of her shirt and before his father could protest got right in her face, "Listen you stupid psychopathic Bitch! You're gonna remember what happened or I'm gonna kick your sorry ass into that damn wall! You got me!!!!" "Put her down Dende or I'M gonna kick YOUR sorry ass into that wall!" a voice growled from behind Dende. Dende dropped Terra roughly and turned around to face Gohan, "What are you gonna do Mama's boy?" Piccolo frowned, "Boys stop it!" Gohan was fuming by now, "Piccolo-sensei do me a favor…….." Piccolo looked confused, "What?" "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Gohan screamed. Dende's eyes widened, "Don't you tell my dad to shut up you pansy assed freak!" "Shut up you green son of a bitch!" "Listen up freak if you care about Terra so damn much why don't you fuck with her I doubt she'd mind after all, all she is, is a whore!" That was it Gohan couldn't stand the comments any more. With a scream of rage he flared into super sayain and punched Dende into a wall and then he tackled him as the fight began to get so out of hand even Goku and Vegeta couldn't stop it. But someone else could………
"Both of you stop!! Just stop god damn it!!" Both Gohan and Dende sopped to see Terra standing over them with in her eyes that threatened to spill out of her eyes. "We're supposed to be protecting our planet here! Not quarreling over every little thing like we're infants!" With that Terra stormed out of the room Leaving Gohan and Dende to think.
"Terra?" Gohan asked as he walked out side with Dende to find Terra staring over the edge of Kami's look out. "We're sorry," Dende whispered. Gohan walked to his friend's side, "What are you thinking?" "I'm wishing there was a way to end all of this. I'm tired of fighting of wathcing friends and family get hurt!" Terra sobbed now letting herself cry. Gohan hugged her close along with Dende, "We know it hurts Terra." Suddenly Cat appeared behind them, "Is she alright?" Dnde looked up and said, "Yeah she's just shaken up……we all are." Then Cat joined the embrace. "So now what?" Cathreine finally said breaking the silence. Terra looked up her eyes still slightly red and puffy, "We make a pact." Gohan the asked, "What kind of pact?" Terra smiled and put her hand out, "Friends forever?" Dende, Gohan, and Cat looked at one and other and smiled, "Yeah friends forever." They placed their hands on top of Terra's. Suddenly their hand began to glow. "Huh?!" Dende said startled. Then a beam of light shot out of the circle and when it hit the sky a small explosion could be seen. When the explosion cleared a new star was in its place. The star seemed to be several different colors. Sometimes blue others white, green or red. "Wow…….Did we make that?" Gohan asked. Terra nodded, "It needs a name. How bout TGDC." All 4 of them nodded before retreating back inside.
A few days later…….
Gohan sighed. He still couldn't believe the changes that had taken place over the past few days. First on the list was the announcement of the Cell Game. They had almost lost hope until Piccolo told them about the mysterious and mystic Room of Spirit and Time. In this strange room time flowed differently, you could spend an entire year in this room and only a matter of 24 hours would pass in the real world. He and his friend Dende had already had their turn. In fact they were all waiting the last of their group to emerge: Terra and Cathreine. Gohan sighed they'd emerge any second now and he wondered about what his friend's would look like and how much more powerful they'd become. Everything was silent and the mood was intense as the entire group awaited the young warriors to come back out of the room. Most of them like Piccolo, Tapion, and Mirai meditated to calm their nerves. But the others like Dende and Vegeta paced nervously and impatiently
Suddenly…….
The door opened. Everyone turned to see the silhouette of a young girl. When the young girl stepped out of the doorway the sunlight revealed it was Cathreine. Gohan smiled his father's trademark smile, "Hey Cat-chan!" Cathreine returned his smile with a warm and innocent smile, "Konichi-wa Gohan-kun." Everyone could sense how much stronger she'd become. Her appearance was basically the same except that she was a little taller and mature looking. No one said a word until Gohan noticed something, "Um….Cat-chan…..Where's T?" Cathreine looked at him like he was crazy and said, "She's right here." But then Cat noticed that Terra wasn't next to her anymore. She frowned and looked back at the door, "Terra stop goofing off and get out here!"
"No."
"Terra it's not that bad!"
"I said no."
"Terra….."
"No God damn it!"
Cathreine sighed and walked into the room only to emerge dragging Terra out. Everyone's jaws dropped and their eyes popped out of their sockets. Apparently puberty had taken its toll on Terra a little early. She didn't look 10 and a half……..She looked 14 and a half! "Oh my God….." Videl said. Dende suddenly smiled to himself evilly, "Hey Terra your shoes untied and you dropped an earring. Terra who was still blushing furiously and was still slightly frazzled bent over to tie her shoe giving Dende an eyeful. "Hehe," Dende snickered to himself. You're sick. Gohan said telepathically. Dende snorted, Oh give me a break. I saw you look down her shirt too. Your enjoying this as much as I am. Dende said making Gohan turn away and blush. Suddenly Terra spoke, "I just remembered something……I'm not wearing earrings." She looked up to see Gohan blushing and Dende smirking. Her eyes narrowed and darkened angrily, "You hentai perverted son of a bitch!" And she kicked him right in the groin. Dende's eye popped out of his head and when he spoke his voice was incredibly high, "Oh shit……..My balls!" Then Terra slapped him across the face knocking the young hormonal namek senseless. After a few moments of silence a snickering cut through the quietness. Terra turned just in time to see Tapion fall over laughing hysterically. Now it was Mirai's turn to be surprised. When Tapion stopped laughing she looked up tears clinging to her cheeks, "What?" "Who are and what have you done with Tapion?" Mirai asked, "Tapion never laughs! Never once have I seen you laugh!" Once again Tapion broke down in a fit of hysterical laughing. And despite the situation Terra herself smiled at her future self.
Later that night…….
Gohan looked at his friend sitting by her koi pond feeding the Japanese goldfish soberly. He sat next to her and threw in crumb of food himself. Terra looked at him, ~He's so hansom in the moonlight~ She could feel her face burn red from her thoughts and she looked back at the pond. "It's funny isn't it?" he sudden;y asked. "What is?" Terra replied. Gohan pointed to the pond, "They are. I mean they don't seem to even notice that this could be their last meal. They just gone with their lives. Swi…." "Swim, eat, make little koi, swim, eat, make little koi." Terra finished for him. He smiled remembering how they used to talk about how boring a koi's life was and the saying they used to describe it. "I'm surprised you still remember," he whispered. "How couldn't I. Spending time with you was some of the best times of m life Gohan-kun," she said blushing at her choice of words. Gohan looked at her. Her features glowed in the moonlight setting off her beauty. Gohan could vaguely see the blush that had crept across her face. He sighed, "T-chan?" Terra looked back at him her face still red. She stared into his dark brown eyes. Suddenly he brought his hand up to her lips tracing them gently. "What are you doing?" Terra asked her voice soft. Gohan smiled slightly, "Experimenting." When he finished tracing her lips he ran his hand through her hair still as gentle as can be. Then he noticed that the space between them was decreasing and he closed his eyes. He felt her lips gently and lightly touch his. Then Terra pulled away slightly and looked back into his eyes. Once again the gap between them began to decrease their lips touched slightly and…….. "GOHAN!! WHERE ARE YOU?" Chichi's voice rang out through the sky. Gohan turned, "For God's sake…….. Be right there mom!" Then he turned back, "Terra I…….." But Terra was gone.
Goku walked through the woods carrying a load of fish for the party Chichi was holding. He suddenly passed and looked down at the scarred Earth he just passed the small charred area. The area never seemed to heal, not after the blast it went through. He thought back to the time. Gohan had been a little over a year old and Terra had just begun to crawl. She couldn't talk yet but she babbled nonsense constantly. It was so long ago…….
~Flashback~
Goku smiled happily at the small girl in his arms as she reached towards the butterfly that was only inches away. Goku chuckled at her when she frowned in frustration and simply gave up settling back into his arms. He and Chichi had been asked to baby sit the small child while Aeris and Cloud took Tommy and Cathreine to the doctor. He looked to his wife Chichi as she pushed their young son along the path in his small car like carriage. Gohan let out a happy high-pitched shriek of joy as he pretended to drive his carriage as if were a real car. Terra looked up at Goku at grabbed a chunk of his unruly hair with a loud giggle. "OW!" Goku yelped. Chichi turned and sighed as she let go of the carriage to pull Terra's iron grip off of Goku hair. Meanwhile not to either of the adult's knowledge Gohan's car began to roll away. But someone else noticed it. Terra let go of Goku's hair and let out a small screech, "Gah!!!" Chichi raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong Terra?" Terra once again tried to say something, "Gah! Gah! Goh!" Both Goku both looked at Terra still confused. "T-chan what's wrong?" Goku asked. Terra's eye watered and she closed them in frustration and let out her first word, "GOHAN!!!!" Goku and Chichi remember their young son and turned to see him crying his little carriage shooting down the hill. "Gohan!" Chichi screamed placing Terra down as she and Goku raced down the hill after their run away son. Terra sobbed uncontrollably screaming her friend's name over and over again. She watch Chichi fall her ankle twisted then she saw Gohan go flying out of his carriage heading straight for a tree. Her blood shot eyes narrowed and she stood beginning to glow with raw ki. She vaguely heard Gohan scream as he launched a blast at the Tree, then she flared into Super Sayain and let her own blast out at the tree. When Gohan landed all that was left was the scarred earth.
~present~
But that was the past. Suddenly Goku came to a clearing only to find Terra gazing up at the moon. He could see stains on her cheeks from the streams of tear that had by now semi-dried. She was panting as if she'd been running forever and her body was scratched by branches and thorns she hadn't bothered to avoid. Her sad blue eyes glowed in the darkness. They glowed with anguish and confusion. Goku stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright T-chan?" he asked. Terra who had been startled simply replied, "I-I'm fine Goku-san." Goku sighed as he could see the tear threatening to spill from her eyes, "Now I know something's wrong 'cause you never called me Goku-san in your entire life."
Terra didn't respond.
"T-chan?"
"W-What is it?"
"You know………..it's ok to cry sometimes."
That was the final straw. Terra threw her arms around her friend's waist and sobbed against him miserably.
"It'll be alright T-chan. Hush."
Suddenly Terra pushed away from him. Her eyes were blood shot and angry. "NO! IT WON'T BE GOD DAMN IT! PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL ME 'IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT TERRA' OR 'DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT TERRA' BUT IT NEVER IS GOKU! IT NEVER IS! I HATE THIS DAMN WORLD AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT! I WISH I COULD JUST DIE AND BE DONE WITH IT ALL!" Terra eyes turned bright green, "I HATE THIS!!!!! I HATE THIS FUCKING WORLD! I'M JUST SO DAMN SICK OF FIGHTING!!!!!"
Then with a blast of light Terra flared into super sayain but her anger drove her past that and all the way into super sayain level 2! Goku's mouth hung open in shock at the young girl before him.
Suddenly Terra's eyes became glassy looking. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she collapsed from exhaustion. Goku sighed as he gathered her in his arms and teleported to her house where everyone was staying. Before he brought the bundle of fish to the women in the kitchen he placed her down on the couch. Then as he walked away he heard a faint whisper, "Son-kun?" He turned to see Terra looking at him with half opened staring at him tiredly. He walked back to the couch, "Yes T-chan?" Terra yawned, "I'm sorry……..'bout what I said." Goku smiled, "It's ok kid." He turned to walk away when he felt her grab his arm, "Goku? Promise me you won't die again." "I can't promise that Terra…." He said with a frown. Tears welled up in Terra's eyes and she sat up, "But…….you can't die again! No! Goku please! You can't die again……I-I-I." Goku frowned at his young friend who was near hysterics. Then with a sigh he hugged Terra and said, "Hush now. I'll promise Terra. I promise." He didn't leave Terra until she fell asleep. Then he placed her down gently and walked to the kitchen. He could feel tears well up in his eyes. All because he knew in his heart…………………he might've not be able to keep that promise.
