A/n: Okay this story has pretty much nothing to do with the story at all, except showing you guys how much Gohan cares for Goten and Trunks.

Bedtime Stories

Gohan's eyes snapped open, only to find two sets of eyes staring back at them. His initial reaction was to blast them into oblivion, but he quickly fought that urge and realized that it was none other than Trunks and Goten staring back at him.

"What are you to doing up?" Gohan asked, trying to sound concerned as he glanced at the clock noticing it was 3 am.

"I had a bad dream, Gohan, and my scream woke Trunks up. Now neither of us can go to sleep." Goten said in a very cute, yet very sleepy, voice. Gohan sat up, propping his back against the wall so he was half lying in his bed. He opened his arms up and immediately Trunks ran to his right one and Goten to his left. They both snuggled close to him, relishing in his warmth. They crawled under the blankets, then used his chest as a pillow.

"Okay Goten. Now tell me what your bad dream was about." Gohan's voice was very caring, so caring that it shocked Gohan to hear it coming out of his own mouth.

"Okay bwother. Well my "father" came back...." Gohan then cut his brother off.

"Father? What do you mean father? You've never met your father have you?"

"Well, no. But Krillin said I had to call him father. Once I messed up and called him baldy. He didn't like that too much. That was one of the worst beatings I've ever got." Goten winced from the memories of that horrific day.

"Oh, okay." Gohan said, now understanding. "Okay continue with your dream, but please don't call him father. I can't stand hearing that."

"Okay. Well, fath... I mean Krillin came back after you killed him, along with Tien and that guy with the flame like hair. They all came back and they ganged up on you! They somehow held you down, then they made me watch as they tortured you, then killed you. It was horrible!" Tears began to stream from Goten's eyes once again. He buried his head into Gohan's chest, and Gohan rubbed his back in reassurance.

"Don't worry 'Ten. I'm here and nothing is going to take you from me. You never have to worry about that. Now how about you go to sleep?"

"Okay. But would it be okay if we went to sleep in here with you?"

"Sure that's fine by me. Now lets get to sleep." Gohan was about to lay back down when Trunks said something.

"Umm.. Gohan? Do you think you could maybe tell us a story?" Goten nodded with agreement. Gohan looked at the two. He didn't know any real bedtime stories, but he just couldn't say no to those faces. 'Well I guess I'll just have to make one up.' He thought upon himself.

"Okay you two. How about I tell you a story about friendship. This story is about a little boy, much like you two, and how he befriended a giant, green beast. Goten and Trunks both looked very happy at the news they would get a story.

"Well it all started when this boy was 4. His father had just died saving his life, and he felt really bad about it. Also he learned that two more powerful people were going to come back and try to kill them all! That is when this boy went into training along with the green monster...." Gohan went on with the story, his voice slowly lulling the two little ones to sleep. As tired as they were though, they wanted to stay awake to hear the end of the story. And when Gohan got to the part about the green monster dying to save the boys life, Goten began to weep again. Then both Trunks and Goten cheered when they heard how the boy got angry and started beating the evil alien prince.

"The End." Gohan said, he then looked down to see that the two boys were fast asleep. During the whole story he had made sure not to mention any names. He didn't say that the little boy was him, or that the green alien was Piccolo. He didn't tell Trunks that it was his father Vegeta that they were fighting, and he didn't tell Goten that the boy's father just happened to be his father too.

'They're so peaceful when they sleep. I wish I could sleep. I can't though. And I can't even try. I said I would wait a whole day and I'm not going to go back on my word. I guess I just have to go with the one thing I can do to actually rest my body.' Gohan then went into a deep meditation. He had learned that by meditating he could rest his body in the proper way, and he would have all his energy when he broke the meditation. He thought about many things during this mediation, but mainly about the two boys that lay in his arms at that very moment, and how he would give his very life for them if they needed him too. He then realized he couldn't do that. He was immortal. He could never give his life for anyone. But he would try as hard as he could. And with that Gohan cleared his mind and went into the closest thing to sleep possible.

***END!***

a/n: Okay I told you all it didn't have much to do with the story. Okay now on to the trivia!

Trivia: Last chapters answer is Goku! Goku was actually stronger. You could check on some sites (like pojo.com) and they tell you power levels, or if you saw the episodes you would see Goku able to block Trunk's sword with his finger! Okay now on to the next question!

Question: Name the 6 full-blooded saiyans that are mentioned throughout DBZ (this includes movies).

Please review and tell me what you think!
