Son Goku woke with a start, a cold sweat gracing his creased brow. It was the dead of the night; the darkest hour in which time seems to stop. A dark feeling of dread seemed to weigh on him, but he couldn't imagine what could possibly be wrong. He felt his son's ki in his room, subdued with normal sleep. Chichi lay peacefully next to him, a portrait of serenity. So what was wrong with him?

Goku remembered nothing of his dream, that much was obvious. The light of the stars provided a paltry glow; not enough to see by. It was the night of the new moon, Goku noted. No matter. His vision was as good in the dark as it was in the light. Walking softly so as not to wake his family, Goku headed for the kitchen. A snack would help him sleep.

Son Gohan woke up not long after his father tip-toed back to bed. He was not startled into waking as Goku had been, but was drowsily reminded of reality in a slow, somewhat pleasant way. Dawdling somewhere between waking and dreaming, he felt a tiny tickling sensation along the back of his neck. Forcing his eyes open, he expected to see the sun glaring at him full-force. But it was still night. What had interfered with his typical sleeping pattern? His mother and father were both in their room, sleeping by the feel of their ki. He climbed out of bed and padded over to the window. Opening it, he felt a cool… no, cold… breeze lift his hair. He climbed back into bed, pulling his blankets around him. The room had not even been stuffy before.

Perhaps Andromeda looked down on the two heroes of Earth from the heavens and granted them this vision of what the future held. Perhaps by some fated chance, the son of Bardock was given the chance to prevent what his father could not. However, through these apocalyptic visions, what could be gained? What man, however strong, can save himself and those he loves from his own worst enemy? Once again, the destiny of the celestial body cursed as Earth was in the hands of her adopted inhabitants. Once again, and, should the warnings go unheeded, never again.

Sorry these parts are so short. They'll be getting longer soon, I hope. Toodles.
