It has been three years, since the birth of Goten and Gorin, and both of
the two half Saiyans have already mastered the art of walking, and flying.
and for the most part, begun to talk. Unfortunately, Chi Chi has
discovered that though Goten seems to be handling the idea of making sounds
to create words with meanings- Gorin seems only interested in the one word
that she said since her birth. The family of Goku seems a bit concerned at
this - though Gorin is extremely bright by her actions. her speech has not
been coming along because of this one word. And the one word. already has
caused pain amongst others who still have not lost the idea that Goku is
still dead.
"Okay. now, try again. G-oooh-haaaaaan"
Gohan said, kneeling down in the middle of the living room floor, facing Gorin and trying with all his might to teach his little sister to say any thing but that one word. He had been left with Gorin and Goten to baby- sit, while his mother Chi Chi went shopping with Bulma. Goten was currently in the kitchen, trying to color with the new crayon set Trunks had leant him. Not really worrying about Goten. Gohan looked at Gorin, hope still in his eyes.
"Goku!"
She responded, smiling as she sat their cross-legged, placing her hands in the middle of her lap. Her dark, black eyes gazed up at her older brother. twinkling with a sheer innocence of being young. She smiled and suddenly reached out, and poked Gohan's nose with her little pointer finger. He fell backwards- partly because he had been off balance to begin with- and in shock that she just kept saying "Goku" to anything or any question that anyone ever said to her. She squealed with delight as he fell over, and immediately bent her legs and leapt into the air, and landed upon his chest. He grunted, and then looked up at his little sister, shaking his head.
"I guess. perhaps you'll just say some thing else in your own time."
He sighed, slowly getting up, grabbing her and setting her in front of him again. This time he sat cross-legged, in his usual Orange Gi and pants, while looking at his sister.
It was amazing by how much Goten and Gorin looked a like - even though they were twins, it still amazed his family and friends. They were identical - to the point where not even Chi Chi or Gohan could tell them apart. Gorin had the same hairstyle as her brother - partly because they were still too young to grow their hair out, and also because she liked doing what her twin brother did. Their expressions and actions often were the same as well. and finally, it was Bulma who came up with a way to tell them apart.
She gave Chi Chi a new outfit- identical to Goten's except different in color. Goten always wore his Orange Gi, a blue undervest which spread all the way to his wrists, a pair of black boots and matching orange pants. He also wore a blue belt to help keep up his orange pants, and often liked to pretend he was his father that he often saw in photos. Bulma had given Chi Chi the same out fit as Goten's, except in different colors for Gorin. It consisted of a Blue Gi, blue pants, orange under vest, orange belt, and a pair of black boots - the mirror reflection of Goten's colors. Warily, Chi Chi had put it on Gorin, and luckily found that Gorin had a liking for her outfit. They now- had a simple way of determining who was the daughter and who was the son.
"Lookie Gohan! I drew a pictuurre!"
Suddenly a voice rang through the air, and Gohan instinctively got up. Gorin immediately ran into the kitchen with surprising speed, which Gohan followed but in a slow walk. As he entered the kitchen he saw the two twins - Goten in a chair, standing up to admire his work - and Gorin hunched over to look, standing upon the kitchen table. Gohan walked over, and saw a bunch of scribbles that looked somewhat like crooked trees, of different colors.
"What have you drawn here?"
Gohan said, gazing down over his two siblings as they giggled at the work Goten had done. Goten looked up at his brother, and smiled, pointing at two small figures - one in orange, the other scribbled in blue. "Goten! Gorin!" Goten cried, smiling happily. He then pointed a figure scribbled in black. "Gohan!" Goten then pointed at a very, jagged and rather eruption-like squiggle in red. "Mother Chi Chi!" He said, smiling as Gohan stifled his laughter. "Trunks! Bulma! Krillin!" Goten continued, until finally he came to a gray scribble. Pointing at it, he grinned mischievously. "Guess!" He cried, looking at Gohan.
Gohan was baffled, but shrugged, deciding to try to guess what the scribble may be. "Piccolo?" He guessed - of course he had to guess him first. "No silly!" Goten said, giggling - which was soon joined in by Gorin.
" Vegeta?" "NO!" Gohan shouted, giving an angry glare at Gohan. Goten never did like Vegeta. after all the names Vegeta had called Goten, in which Goten replied back, "Bad puu! Bad!" This happened at an earlier age. but the name calling still made Goten not like Vegeta. "I give up!" Gohan said, shaking his head and straightening up. Gorin looked at him and snickered, and then suddenly cried out -
"Goku!"
Immediately Goten and Gorin cheered at this, and both of them leapt off the table and ran out of the kitchen. Gohan stared at the picture a bit; wondering why his dad would be a gray scribble. but then shrugged and decided Chi Chi might like it if he put it on the refrigerator. Taping it onto the front of the machine, he then suddenly heard a breaking noise not too far off.
"Uh Oh!" "Goku!" "WAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Gohan suddenly jolted out of the kitchen, down the long hallway and entered the twin's room to find the source of the crying. Goten was sitting down, legs spread open as he cried, his eyes tearing rapidly as Gorin stood next to him, her eyes wide with shock. Gohan immediately surveyed the area. to see what a proper mind would determine. A picture of his father- Goku had been placed on a tabletop. next to Goten's bed. Chi Chi kept it in the twin's room, as a reminder for who their father was and what he looked like. Now, it was shattered against the floor. the picture perfectly unharmed, but the glass was every where in small splinters, along with a broken frame.
"Gorin touch frame!! Gorin BREAK FRAME!!!!" Goten cried, keeping his eyelids glued shut but some how managing to cry and spill water from his eyes like faucets at the same time. Gorin just stood there, gaping at her crying brother. "Goku!!" She said, as if trying to calm down her brother. "Gorin BAD!" Goten screamed, opening his eyes and gazing angrily at his sister. She didn't understand. but just smiled, seeing her brother stop crying and scream instead. Her smile was pure and sweetly innocent, but Goten was still upset. " GOKU DEAD!! Look at Goku! Goku dead!" He suddenly cried out in anger, pointing a stubby finger at the picture frame, which was now shattered upon the floor.
Gorin's cheery eyes suddenly turned their gaze the glass on the floor. Slowly, she shifted it to gaze at the broken gold frame. and then finally, she gazed at the picture. There was Goku, her father she had only met once and barely remembered. She saw his smiling face. his funny pose as he was laughing in the picture at some thing seemingly behind the camera. She saw him there. but she didn't remember ever seeing him again. Suddenly, her eyes seemed to fade. and a pained expression came to her face. She suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if some unseen force struck her. Her eyes narrowed, as a sad expression suddenly melted upon her face. She clenched her fists, and seemed to sulk as her body began to shake. Gohan felt nervous. but yet, thought it better to watch what happened between the two before he stepped in to stop it.
Gorin's eyes filled with tears, as she simply stared blankly at the broken picture. Goten was quiet now, staring at his sister's strange reaction - for she was always smiling, always cheery. Gorin now was quiet, and did not say 'Goku' again. Instead, she took a staggering breath, and then suddenly whispered to herself.
"Goku. d-dead?"
With that last word, she suddenly cringed up her face and then let out the loudest wail Gohan ever heard in his lifetime. Gorin let out a huge blast of crying-noises, sobbing suddenly like an erupted volcano that had just stayed dormant too long. Tears sprouted from the corners of her little eyes, as she let her hands brush loosely against the ground, and she tilted her head up as if crying to the sky. Gohan sighed, and slowly picked up Gorin, but she seemed to not even notice as he did so. She kept on crying, her head tilted and tears pouring out like a rampaging river. Gohan shook his head, and hugged his little sister as he sat down next to the awed Goten. He didn't know how he was going to make her stop crying. or how he was going to explain to his mother that Gorin's second word ever said was, 'dead'.
"Okay. now, try again. G-oooh-haaaaaan"
Gohan said, kneeling down in the middle of the living room floor, facing Gorin and trying with all his might to teach his little sister to say any thing but that one word.
