nyc_pwyncess: hello again pplz!! ty mucho for the reviews!! this is the second chappie, this one is from gohan's point of view!! it is based around the song "tears in heaven" by eric clapton. i do not own dbz nor am i eric clapton, so don't sue me(you blood sucking lawyers!!). i suggest you download the song, but don't read the first few chapters if you're sad, cuz they're sad too. but the story gets a little happier in the future chapters, which explainz the paradox of angst/humor. i'll put up my new chap when i gets six reviews. same symbols as last chapter...

As Gohan walked down the hallway towards his room, he thought about the questions his mother had said in supposed solitude. It wasn't the first time that she had done so, but he was kind of happy when he saw her question his father. It helped him remember how great his dad really was. It also helped his heart to know that he wasn't the only one who missed and remembered his father. He often wondered if Goku remembered him and everybody else.

~*~

Would you know my name,

If I saw you in Heaven?

Would it be the same,

If I saw you in Heaven?

~*~

Gohan continued to quietly walk down the hall towards his bedroom, but not before making a pit stop at Goten's room. He opened the door slowly, so as not to make a sound, and peeked his head in to make sure he was okay. Of course he was okay, he always was, but it helped Gohan just to see him lying on his bed, most likely dreaming about food. When his father had died, he had kind of become the man of the house, just him and his mom, but then Goten came and he felt a whole new sense of responsibility. He knew that his father would have wanted him to be strong for everyone.

~*~

I must be strong,

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong,

Here in Heaven.

~*~

After closing Goten's door, Gohan headed bedroomwards once again. He was deeply comforted just by the sight of a peaceful Goten at times. Goten was just like Dad in so many ways that it was uncanny. Goten helped keep his father's image in his mind. But he wondered, would Dad remember him if they met again?

~*~

Would you hold my hand,

If I saw you in Heaven?

Would you help me stand,

If I saw you in Heaven?

~*~

As he fumbled for the light switch, he thought to himself, "Dad would never forget me. He would want me to be strong, but he would still watch over us.' Sometimes Gohan would swear that he had seen Dad standing there with his famous Son smile when Goten learned a new move, or holding Mom, unbeknownst to anyone else. He knew it was probably his imagination, but he couldn't help feeling that Dad was his, Mom's, and Goten's guardian angel. With that happy thought he brought up the blanket to close his drooping eyelids.

~*~

I'll find my way,

Through night and day.

'Cause I know I just can't stay,

Here in Heaven.

~*~

"Wait a second!!", Gohan thought as his eyes shot open and sat upright in his bed, "How could I have forgotten?? Did I lose it!!" As he continued to mentally berate himself for having forgotten such an important thing, he yanked open the drawer on his nightstand, pulling it off of the hinges. But he didn't care, he had to find it! He breathed a sigh of relief as he found the missing treasure, a picture of himself, Mom, and Dad three days before Radditz came. "Why did I forget??", he asked himself mentally while putting the door back on it's hinges, "Is time erasing my memories?"

~*~

Time can bring you down.

(I cannot decipher this stupid line!! Tell me if you know what it is!! TY!!)

Time can break a heart,

Have you begging 'Please.'

Begging 'Please.'

~*~

Gohan was so busy questioning his memories of Dad, that he didn't even realize he was slowly plodding down the hallway to Goten's room. He snapped back into reality just as he was about to open the door. "Why am I here again?", thought Gohan, even though he knew the answer. "I'm here to get guidance from my five-year-old brother. Great.", he mentally stated with sarcasm. "But who am I to kid, I do feel better knowing that Goten's still here. If it wasn't for him, Mom may have died as well. He doesn't realize it, but he saved her.", he thought as he slowly opened the door.

~*~

Beyond the door,

There's peace I'm sure.

And I know there'll be no more

Tears in Heaven.

~*~

There was Goten, as usual sleeping sprawled across the bed. No wonder why Trunks didn't like bunking with him!! "Well, all is well with Goten. I better get some sleep before school tomorrow and the Videl Inquisition.", Gohan thought. "Good night Goten. I wonder if he knows what a great man Dad was??", Gohan said aloud to no one in particular. With that he closed the door and went back to bed. "Because I know I do.", muttered a sleepy Gohan.

~*~

Would you know my name,

If I saw you in Heaven?

Would it be the same,

If I saw you in Heaven?

I must be strong,

And carry on,

'Cause I know I don't belong,

Here in Heaven.

"I do know about Daddy, I just wish Gohan wouldn't worry so much. He's such a worry wart!", said a sleepy little Goten. "I'm five-years-old, he doesn't have to check on me every night!! But what's it like to have a Daddy?? I only hear about him in stories. I'll have to ask Trunks tomorrow.", Goten murmured before drifting back to sleep.
