Note: This will be an ongoing series, from several characters POV. It's basically what other people think of Goku, or Kakkarott. Projected lineup is Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Bulma, Chi-Chi, Yamcha, Krillen, Trunks, and finally, Piccolo. If you want the POV of someone else, put it in the reviews. This is Buu-Saga, from the beginning to the end. Vegeta's POV was from when he has Goky bound by the energy chains, Gohan's is when he sees Goku for the first time in seven years. Goten's will be as he and Trunks are flying to meet Buu. Read and review, please.
Daddy!
I finally get to see you Daddy! I'm your son, Goten! I've never seen you before. I don't know what you look like, and how you act like. Imagine if you acted like Veggie-chan! That sure would suck, wouldn't it?
All my life, I wondered who you were. Where you were. Why you weren't here with me, kaasan, and niichan. When I was born, I remembered kaasan and niichan taking care of me. Kaasan tried to make me a scholar, but niichan trained me, a little bit. I became friends with Trunks. He's Veggie-chan's son, if you didn't know. Funny, huh? Trunks tells me that you and his dad used to be great enemies...and now your sons are best friends! Trunks is a nice guy. He gets me in trouble a lot, but it's okay. We have lots of fun together. He helped me forget about where you were.
See, when I was born, I didn't have a father. I thought that you had abondoned me, because I wasn't good enough. I was really sad all the time. Niichan tried to cheer me up, but he couldn't. The only thing he could do was to train me. I was still sad all the time. But then I became friends with Trunks. He made me have fun again, and taught me to just take life with a grain of pepper. Or salt. I forget.
I asked niichan one day why you weren't with us anymore. His answer was simple, "You died trying to save all of us." I couldn't believe it. My daddy was a superhero! Not like Hercule or the Great Saiyaman, but a real hero. I finally realized that if it wasn't for you, then we'd all be dead. I wanted to become you, in a sense. All of your friends, like Krillen and Bulma said that I looked just like you when you were younger. That made me happy. Looking like my father.
When I was seven, I became Super. You know, with the golden hair and super strength? Kaasan made me mad one day, and that made me transform. I don't think Kaasan liked it very much when I went Super. She said I was another monster. But I didn't care, I was Super. I heard that you became Super, and that Veggie-Chan was jealous of you. But Trunks could already go Super, so it didn't matter.
The next day, I heard that you were coming back to Earth, for 24 hours! I was too happy! I would finally get to meet my father, Son Goku. I got sad again. What if you didn't like me? You had never seen me before, so how would you react to your youngest son? Kaasan told me not to worry. She said you would like me even if she had to beat you.
The day of arrival finally came. I was sorta scared and sorta happy. Then I saw you. You looked just like me! Same hair, same clothes, same everything. And everybody liked you. Even Veggie-chan, who probably just wanted to beat you. Kaasan was crying so much, I never thought she would stop. Then you stopped, and noticed me. I got scared again, and hid behind kaasan's legs. You picked me up, and swung me around, like an airplane! Wow! My daddy was powerful, and nice! Too bad Veggie-chan isn't the same way, hee hee.
Then something bad happened to niichan, and you flew away. Me and Trunks messed around for a little bit, and then Videl told us about the Buu monster. Well, knowing Trunks and me, we had to go see the Buu and the wizard. I was convinced that you could take down the Buu, and the wizard, because you were the strongest in the world. Trunks said that his dad and niichan could take down the Buu by themselves, and that you were supposed to be pretty good too.
Pretty good? Pretty good!? You're the strongest fighter in the universe! And my daddy too. I don't think I could get any luckier.
Like it? A little hard to write because Goten doesn't have much screentime until the Buu saga. Bulma or Chi-Chi is next. R/R, please!
