ME: YEAH! I feel like updating this again. WOOOOOOOOOOO!

VEGETA: Finally, the boredom ends!

GOKU: But Vegeta, we weren't bored. We played monopoly, and went fishing, and spent quality time with our children.

VEGETA: See my point?

GOKU: No.

ME: (Sweatdropping) Uh, right. Can we just go straight to the disclaimer now?

DRAGONBALL Z? NAH, I DON'T OWN IT. I COULD SELL YOU A GREAT CAR-STEREO THOUGH, IN MINT CONDITION. I PROMISE YOU, THERE'S NOT A BETTER ONE AROUND.

ME: Okay then, it's fanfiction time!

"Hello, this is the Son residence. Chi-chi speaking." "Hi Chi-chi, it's me, Bulma." "Oh. Have you heard from Gohan yet?" "Yeah, he's here at Capsule corp. watching TV with Trunks and Vegeta." "So he's alright then?" "He's fine, Chi-chi. Don't worry, we'll take good care of him." "I trust you Bulma. Got to go now, bye. And thanks!" "Anytime!" Chi-chi put the phone down. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off her chest. Knowing her 'baby' was safe made her feel happier. Smiling, she walked back into the kitchen. Moments later, Goku entered the kitchen after her. "Who was that on the phone, Chi?" He asked. "Huh? Oh, it was Bulma." She replied, not taking her eyes off the dishes she was washing. "Yeah? Well, what did she want?" He asked. "Nothing." Goku wasn't convinced. "Nothing, huh? Then why did she phone?" "Just to chat, you know? But something came up." She said quickly, a little too quickly for Goku's liking. It was just Chi-chi's bad luck that she happened to be one of the worst liars in the world, and usually 'clueless' Goku just happened to be very good at catching liars out. He watched her as she hurried about at the sink, purposely avoiding his eye. Then turned away, in the direction of the living room. "Alright Chi-chi, give me a shout when dinner's ready." And he walked out.

Back to Capsule. Corp

If you walked into Capsule corp. at this moment in time, you would have been met with a very strange sight. Two grown men, and a youngish-looking boy with purple hair, fast asleep on the couch, with soap operas on the TV.

Bulma walked back into the room and tutted. She walked up to the television and turned it up full blast. All three Saiyans woke up with a start. "WAAAAAAH! What did you do that for, woman?!" Vegeta yelled. Bulma made a face. "It's time you three stopped watching that rubbish and went to bed! Trunks, you've got school in the morning, you should know better!" "Sorry, mum." "Good. Now, off to bed, all of you!" She turned the TV off and ushered all three of the Saiyans out of the room.

A couple of hours later, Gohan's bedroom at Capsule corp.

Gohan tossed and turned in his sleep. He was having the strangest dream:

He was outside, in a big field. The sun was out and there was nobody around. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped about a mile into the air and turned around. It was Goku. "D-dad? What are you doing here?" He asked. Goku didn't let go of Gohan's shoulder, in fact, he gripped it even tighter. "What are you doing here?" Gohan asked again, more firmly this time. "I've got to take you back, son. You know it's right." His father raised two fingers up to his forehead. "Don't worry, it'll all be over soon." "No!" But it was too late.

When they materialised again, Goku was still holding on to Gohan's shoulder, it was so tight he was starting to lose the feeling in his arm. "Dad!" He protested, angrily. "Let me go!" He started to struggle with his father, but then Goku changed into the Grand Kai. He laughed at Gohan cruelly. "Well, look who it is!" He said through his laughter. "You can't escape us now! Tetsuo will take you somewhere you can't ever escape us." Tetsuo appeared almost instantly at the Kai's side, also laughing at the young half-Saiyan. "So, we meet again, Gohan! Buy I suppose we'll be seeing a lot more of each other now you're a permanent resident of 'the core'." "What?!" Gohan was starting to panic. "What's the core?" "You'll see, soon enough." Tetsuo was carrying him now. And it seemed like there was nothing he could do to get free. They were approaching a huge, black door. Tetsuo opened it and threw Gohan in. He got up and started pounding it, but it was no good. Then someone saying his name caused him to spin round. "What? Who's there?" He yelled into the darkness. "Show yourself!" He looked around frantically, but even his better-than-human Saiyan vision couldn't see a thing. Then out of the darkness, a figure emerged. It was the girl he had fought with earlier. She was dressed differently though. Wearing a long, black dress. "Hey." She said, walking up to Gohan. He tried to move, but it seemed like he was rotted to the spot. "Now that were going to be locked in here together, we might as well get better 'acquainted." Then she leaned forwards and kissed him full on the li.

"OH MY GOD!" Gohan sat bolt upright in his bed. Sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he was shaking all over. Her put his head on his knees. 'What is wrong with me?'

ME: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This was my 'torture Gohan' chapter. And yes, it was a bit shorter than the others, and yes, it has taken me ages to get it out to you all, but LAY OFF! I'm a busy person!

VEGETA: No you're not.

ME: (Sigh) Yeah, you're right. I'm a big, fat liar. But, just review the damn chapter anyway!
