Kakarotto...
His head quickly whipped around, almost smashing into a bedpost. He scanned the room quickly, furrowing his brow.
You have forgotten, Kakarotto...
Quickly, he got up from his bed and switched on the light. There was nothing there.
"Goku! Turn off the light! How am I supposed to sleep with the light on?" yelled Chi-Chi.
"Sorry Chi-Chi," replied Goku, shaking his head, "I thought I heard something..."
"WELL I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU HEARD! I NEED MY BEAUTY REST! I WON'T BE YOUNG FOREVER Y'KNOW!!!"
"Yeah...sorry again," said Goku half-heartedly. He switched off the light and retreated to his bed. As he turned to the side, though, his eyes were wide open. But in them was something new to Goku. It was a look of evil.

The next morning...
A 13 year old Goten sat at the kitchen table, with a knife in hand and a napkin tucked into his shirt.
"C'mon mom! I'm so hungry!" yelled Goten. Chi-Chi then whirled around in anger.
"Would you shut up, kid? That's the third time you've asked me for breakfast this morning!" yelled Chi-Chi, "you know your poor mother didn't get even get any sleep last night..." Chi-Chi began to fake cry and Goten slapped his forehead.
"Okay mom, I'm sorry. But I'm really hungry! And where's Dad anyway? He never misses breakfast," asked Goten.
"I'm actually not sure, he seemed really sick this morning, and when I woke up he was just staring at the wall. He doesn't look good, so leave him alone today."
"Hey that's good news for me! This way he won't make me train and I can go over Trunks's house!" said Goten happily.
"Says who?" asked Chi-Chi menacingly.
"Ummmm..." suddenly the phone rang as Goten was trying to think of a clever answer. Chi-Chi grabbed the receiver.
"Hello?" she asked. There was a silence in the room, and Goten looked up to see his mother with a confused look on her face.
"Who is this?" she asked again, growing impatient. Suddenly she heard something, very faint, and very eerie.
"Who is--"
"Shut up Goten," replied Chi-Chi quickly, cutting off her son, back to phone she asked: "Tell me who this is right now! I have caller I.D. and I will send my husband after you!"
There was a soft cackling on the phone and then a dial tone. Chi-Chi looked a bit nervous.
"Okay Goten, go get your Dad. I'm going to call Gohan," ordered Chi-Chi. Goten obeyed and went up to his parent's room to see Goku turned the other way in bed. He could see the sheets slowly move up and down as Goku breathed in heavily.
"Dad, how're you feeling?" asked Goten as he slowly neared the bed. There was no answer. Goten began to feel a bit nervous.
"Dad?" Goten drew nearer to Goku, and heard his muffled breathing. Something seemed wrong. Goten rounded the bed to see his father starting straight out into space.
"Who the hell are you!" yelled Goku, jumping out of bed and raising his hand at Goten. Slowly, his hand formed a yellow ball of energy aimed directly at Goten. Goten's face ignited in fear.
"DAD!!! It's me, Goten! Your son!" Goten screamed in defense. Suddenly Goku blinked, and his eyes returned to normal. The energy disappeared and Goku lowered his hand.
"I'm, uh, sorry G-Goten, but I just was a, uh, ummmm, a l-little nervous. I'm not feeling t-too well," stuttered Goku. Goten just stared at him nervously.
"Mom needs us downstairs. Some weird guy called and she's freaking out," Goten replied, chuckling nervously, "yeah, like we should be scared of some weird guy...ha, that a l-laugh!"
Goku just turned and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. Goten followed suspiciously. When Goku entered the kitchen, he saw Chi-Chi at the table, shivering with her head in her hands. She looked up.
"Someone called for you, Goku. He was muttering something."
"Probably Vegeta prank calling again..." joked Goten. No one laughed.
"What was he saying, Chi-Chi? Did you make out anything?" asked Goku.
"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty positive he was saying one word. 'Kakarotto,' " replied Chi-Chi. And with that, Goku's eyes rolled up into his head and he collapsed to the floor.
