DISCLAIMER: Oh, come on, you know what I mean.... I do not own Dragonball Z, I only watch it and write this story about it. Also, I don't own Chucky, or any of his components. Just a fanfic, OK?

"Daddy?" Pan asks. "I can't sleep."
Gohan looks up, to see who's there. "What are you doing out of bed??" he asks.
"Daddy, I had a bad dream!"
"Shh!! Or you'll wake up Videl too!"
"I'm already awake." Videl grumbles. "What are you waiting for? Come here, we'll protect you from bad dreams."
Pan walks to the bed. Gohan sees something in her hand. "What have you got there?" he asks. "I can't remember I've bought you a doll. Do you Videl?"
"Hmm.." Videl says.
"I've found it in the toy shop when you blew up that evil man." Pan explains.
"Oh, do you think that's a good idea? It wasn't the most pleasent experience....."
Pan shakes her head. "It's a nice doll. His name is Chucky. You know, from that tv show. I have always wanted to have a doll like this."
"Oh, I remember. Such a doll is very expensive. Alright then. You can have my pillow. I can't sleep anyway."
"Why not? Do you want me to sing a lullaby? I know a nice one."
Gohan laughs. "No, thank you Pan. I'll have a walk and overthink some things. Go sleep now. Good night."
Gohan walks out of the room and gets his jack. Then he walks to the parc.

~* Flashback *~

"You have to find the power within you. That's why we're here. Can you remember your powers?" Piccolo asks.
"Powers??" Gohan (10 years old) doesn't understand it.
"Yes, powers!!" Piccolo says. When he sees Gohan doesn't remember a thing, he picks him up, and throws him to a giant mountain.
Gohan is terrified, and screams as loud as he can. Then, suddenly, he feels a great power. "SHOOT IT" something within Gohan says.
He doesn't know how, or why, but Gohan feels a great power, and blasts the mountain away. Then, just as suddenly as it came, the power is gone. Gohan sits on the ground, and next to him, everything's gone.
"I knew you could do it." Piccolo smiles.

...

"I'll finish the little boy!" Nappa says, and he powers himself up. Gohan is shaking, and can't move. Nappa is still powering up. "GO AWAY FROM THERE GOHAN!!!" Piccolo yells. But Gohan still can't move. "Don't do that!!" he screams. Everybody is looking at the mad Nappa, which Power is still growing. Even Vegeta looks amazed. "Go on Nappa," he says after a look on his scouter. After some seconds that looked like hours Nappa is ready, and still Gohan isn't able to move. "THIS IS GONNA HURT!!!" Nappa yells, and throws a enormous energy blast at Gohan. He's terrified, and just for the last moment Piccolo jumps in, and offers himself to save Gohan.

...

"A COP??? Gohan, I teached you everything, I have made you a fighter, just like your dad, and you want to become a COP???"
Gohan nodds. "I just want to help people on the normal way. Is that that strange?"
"YES!"
"Oh, well then, SORRY I'M DIFFERENT!!" Gohan yells. He regrets his attack immediately. He knows that his decision comes suddenly. But Piccolo doesn't have te right to decide for him.
"I'm not your responsibility anymore. I'm grown up. I'm almost getting married!" Gohan laughs.
"Really? Who is the lucky one?"
"Figurely speaken."
"I see. Just do what you want to. Like you said, I'm not responsible for you. Maybe it's better to take some distance."
"WHAT??" Gohan squeals. "You're kidding, aren't you? I mean, we've been together since.... Since I was a kid!!!"
"That's right, a little bit to long, don't you think?" Piccolo says it real calm, like he always does. Gohan isn't that calm.
"NO!!" he shouts hysterical. "I didn't mean what I said!! I know -I just know- you didn't mean it do, did you?"
When Piccolo says nothing, Gohan is desperate. "Don't...." is the only thing he can say.
"Bye Gohan." Piccolo turns around, and walks out the door.

~* Back to real *~

Gohan wakes up. "Piccolo...." he says. Piccolo was his best friend, but since the day he walked out the door, Gohan didn't mind about him anymore. For some reason he just didn't like Piccolo anymore. "I'm glad he's dead...." Gohan said to himself. To himself, but somebody else was listening too..... Pan's doll was standing next to a tree, listening to what Gohan says. "I'll get you for that...." he whisperes.
