All right now, Drum roll please, the moment you've all been waiting for. CHAPTER 9!

          Goten fell asleep under the big oak tree.

          Goten awoke, rested, but very hungry. He was lying in a nice warm bed, thinking he was still at home, rolled over and was about to go back to sleep, when he remembered the events of the day before. Quickly he shot out of the bed. Where was he? Goten looked around, he remembered falling asleep under a big tree, not in a bed. He quickly ran out of the room he was in and straight into a strange man.

          "Oomph!" The man cried out.

          "Oh!" Gasped Goten, "I'm so sorry!" Goten bent down and helped the man to his feet.

          The man laughed, "You are a strong one aren't you?"

          Goten smiled, and looked at the man more closely. He was about 30 years old, with bright red hair that was cut short. Then Goten remembered he didn't know who this man was. "Who are you? And how did I get here?" Goten asked.

          "I am Chan Young (ooc: if you remember, Japanese always introduce themselves using their last name first.) and I found you in the park, fast asleep under a tree. Since I have a spare room, I figured you'd be more comfortable here then in the park. Now, what's your name young one, and where you from?"

          "It doesn't matter where I'm from." Goten replied, shocking the old man with his hatred, "I ain't never going back there."

          "Well are you going to tell me your name?" Young asked again.

          Goten thought for a moment. He didn't want to use his real name. He wanted to start his life over. "My name's Sev."

          "Well Sev, are you looking for a place to stay?"

          Goten looked at Young, was that an invitation? Goten wondered. "Well yes I am. But I have no money."

          "Well I'll make you a deal. I love to train people to make them stronger and then enter them in The World's Martial Arts Tournament. If I can train you and have you enter the tournament in Ten years, you can stay here." Goten's face brightened. "One more condition, you must go to school."

          Goten's face fell, "I'm not very good at school."

          Young looked at the young teen in front of him. "That's all right, I'm here to help you any time you need it."

          "Deal!" Said Goten/Sev. "It's my first year of high school."

          "All right, let's go down there and get you registered."

          So the two headed out the door and down the street, laughing like they were father and son.

                             *    Two Years Later    *

          Gohan and Videl landed in front of the Son's home, and looked at each. They had been gone for two years and traveled the whole world, looking for the missing boy, but they had no luck finding him.

          "I hope Dad's okay." Gohan told his girlfriend, "We've been gone for two years, and I haven't even wrote him once."

          Videl nodded her head. "And we didn't even find Goten."

          Suddenly Goku stepped out the front door, with two-year-old Gosin toddling behind him.

          "Oh, I thought I heard someone out here."

          Gohan and Videl waved to Goku and then holding hands walked up to him.

          Gohan looked down at the ground while walking up to his Dad. He had to tell him the bad news, but would Dad blame him? "Dad, I'm sorry, we couldn't find him." Gohan apologized.

          Goku looked at the ground, visibly upset, "Well, that's okay I guess. I now only have you and Gosin. I wish I knew what I did wrong."

          "Dad! You did nothing wrong I'm sure of it! I think that kids the problem."

          "Maybe you're right Gohan." Goku said not sounding convinced. Goku turned around, picked up Gosin and headed back inside the house.

          Videl turned to look at Gohan, who had tears in his eyes. He turned and looked back, then put his arm around her and leading her into the house.

Okay everyone, there's chapter 9. Next chapter Eight years later, The World Tournament.
