Chapter III
Catch-Up
Gokou, Mirai Trunks, Gohan, and Chichi sat around the Son family's kitchen table. Rice, sushi, and soup were just part of the great feast Chichi had prepared for her long dead husband. Mirai Trunk ate his portion slowly, savoring every bite; Chichi did the same. But the two dark haired saiya- jins inhaled theirs, like they had so many other times before. Chichi shed a lone tear at the site of her two brave, strong warriors finally together again.
"Dad, why did Trunks bring you to this sad future?" Gohan asked, trying to search for the answer he wanted to hear.
"I'm here to help train Trunks and to help defeat the Androids that brought this beautiful planet to its knees."
"GREAT!" Gohan shouted, "We can easily take them down now that you're here. They never would've beaten us, if you hadn't gotten sick and then, well…" Gohan choked a tear back and then continued. "If you wouldn't have died, this place would still be peaceful."
"I plan to change history when I go back," Gokou said, looking at Trunks, who had turned his head away from the conversation and was looking out the window. He was whistling to himself and trying so hard to look innocent. "Why didn't you tell me I died?" Gokou asked sharply.
"Well, you seemed so eager to help, that you never asked what had happened to you," Trunks said.
Gokou looked away for a moment, then shrugged and gave Trunks that "I guess you're right" shrug and his famous smile returned to his face. "At least tell me how I die," Gokou asked.
A meek feminine voice broke the short silence; "You died from a heart disease. A little over a year after you came back from Yardratt, you had contracted a virus from them that attacked your heart and killed you." The words came from her mouth choked and full of pain. "Oh Gokou, I don't want to lose you again, please don't fight those mean Android-things."
"Chichi, I love you and I wouldn't do anything that meant taking myself away from you," he said as he stood from the table. She had begun to weep and her shoulders bounced with each sob. Gokou walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her thin waist. Gokou moved his hands to her hips and turned her around to face him. He looked into her eyes and wiped away a few tears that had fallen from her brown eyes to her cheeks. "I love you Chichi," he said and embraced her.

It's short, I know. I wanted to do some more with the family being reunited before training begins. If you get this far and are still interested, please feel free to review this story.
