except for Thrake ^_^). Somehow, I wish I was that creative. -_-;
Warning: There is cussing in this fanfic.that and it's my first one, so it probably just sucks. Be kind! Arigato!
Ok, and by the way, here are the ages of Gohan, Goten, and Trunks. ^^ (I don't know if these are accurate to the anime, oh well if they're not. *blushes*)

Chapter 3 - The Panic Sets In
Chi Chi looked franticly on the ground below her for Goku. She could feel his ki, but just barely. It wasn't odd for Goku to go running off on his own, but for him to just suddenly fade out, that was odd. Scary even. She looked over at Gohan and Goten. 'They're looking so hard, they know how much it means to me. . .' she thought to herself. She tried calling out to Goku with her mind several times and then shrugged it off as her panicking. 'What am I doing? He can't hear my thoughts. . .' she shook her head and cups her hands over her mouth.
"GOKU!" she called. She heard the boys calling too. Something just wasn't right here, she could feel it. If only she could find some trace of him.
"Mom. . ." Gohan called back. Chi Chi looked up "Vegeta and Trunks are down there, I'm gonna go see if I can get them to help."
"Okay!" Chi Chi replied. 'Oh great' she thought to herself 'let's have the entire planet look for him while we're at it. . .'
Goten flew far ahead of her and then stopped, allowing her to catch up with him. He hopped onto Nimbus with her and looked from the other side.
"Mom, do you think we'll find Dad?" Goten asked, with worry in his voice.
"Of course we will Goten," she said hugging him tightly "I just know we will."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gohan flew down towards where Vegeta and Trunks were training. Trying very hard to avoid any stray ki blasts from Trunks. He started running towards them, but he already got their attention.
"Gohan-san!" Trunks exclaimed waving at Gohan and running to meet him halfway.
"Heyya Trunks-san," Gohan smiled for the first time since he started looking for his father, ruffling Trunks' hair. "What are you doing?"
"Me and dad are training!" Trunks exclaimed sensing his father coming up behind him.
"What are you doing here Gohan?" Vegeta said sternly, placing a hand on Trunk's shoulder.
"It's Dad." Gohan started.
"Kakarot? What's wrong with him?" Vegeta blurted out suddenly.
Gohan takes a step back, obviously taken aback by Vegeta's sudden outburst. "Well, truth is. . .we can't find him, and we can barely feel him. . ."
"WHAT?!" Trunks and Vegeta exclaim at the same time.
"I need you to help us find him. If you would" Gohan pleaded.
Vegeta walked closer to Gohan and placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder. "Lead the way" he said very sternly.
With that they were off, streaking the sky calling Goku's name and praying that they find him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Goku moaned softly. The pain was unbearable. It was the first time in his life it's been like this. He couldn't understand what, or who, could do such a thing. It just wasn't possible! He wasn't scared of death, but goddamn it, it was Chi Chi's birthday. . .and he was just brought back, he didn't want to die again. Chi Chi. . .he could almost hear her voice again. She had such a wonderful voice. He opened his eyes slightly and could swear that he could see her too. 'I must be really out of it' he thought.
"Goku! Goku! Wake up Goku!" Chi Chi cried, shaking him just a little
"Mom, I really think he's out of it" Goten said to her, bent over in front of his dad trying to wake him up as well.
"Chi. . . . . .Chi. . . . ." Goku stuttered, very quietly. He fluttered his eyelids and moaned in pain
"Goku!" Chi Chi exclaimed "Goten, go find your brother, now! Meet me back at the house, I'm taking him home" she instructed.
Goten nodded once and was on his way. Chi Chi tried to lift Goku but couldn't do it. 'Come on Goku, work with me here' she thought. She put his arm around her shoulder and made him get on his feet.
"Flying Nimbus!" she called and placed him on Nimbus, sitting next to him and taking off towards the house.
Thrake stepped out of the shadows of the nearby forest, watching Chi Chi and Goku fly away. . .
"So. The rest of the Sons have come out to play. No bother. I'll take care of the two sons and have the wife all to myself. You'll regret the day you ever stole my precious extorite. . ."
Thrake gripped at his chest and stumbled a little bit, coughing and looking back up at the sky.
