The wind was light, the sun was shinning as bright as ever and the water glistening in the suns warm embrace. Yep life was normal. And Gohan was enjoying it. "Gohan, how many times have I told you, get your ass in here and study!" Chi-chi yelled from the kitchen window.

"You'd better get in there Gohan, you don't want your mother getting any angrier than she already is!" the OX King said as he got up and headed for the house.

It has been three years after the cell games. Chi-chi was stressed as usual, and had also given birth to Goten. Gohan was sick of studying and wanted to get away, he needed a holiday, and he needed to see his friends again and have a new adventure.

"I wish she would give me a fucking break" Gohan thought to himself as he walked towards the house. Just as he reached the door Krillin appeared in front of him accompanied by Yamcha, Piccolo and Tien.

"He guys, where did you all come from?" Gohan said with surprise and great delight at seeing his old friends again. "We have decided to go on a trip around the world, you know, the whole see the sights and get into fights type of thing." Yamcha said with excitement. Gohan's face beamed with joy " Would you mind another traveler to come with you on your journey?" he asked. "This is perfect" Gohan thought to himself

"Like fucking hell you are leaving this house Gohan!" Yelled Chi-chi "you start your new school in 5 months and you need to be ready, you need to study!" Everyone stood still, being careful not to make a sound. Gohan, digging deep to find some courage, finally broke the uneasy silence "I am going and there is nothing you can do to stop me. I will be back in time for school and I am going to do well, but right now I am going with my friends and enjoy myself, just like dad did when he was alive"

Chi-chi stood in amazement. Anger building inside of her. They all could see it. They started to slowly back away. Knowing Chi-chi's temper, they did not want to get caught up in it all. Gohan remained in his place. He started it and he was not going to back down now! Chi-chi could see the determination in Gohan's eyes. Her anger slowly reduced. "OK Gohan, you can go. I hope you have lots of fun and remember I love you." She said. Chi-chi started to walk away when she stopped and said "Your father would be Proud"

Gohan walked over to where his mother was standing gave her a big hug and a kiss on the check. "I love you mum and thank you" he said so only she could here. He turned to his mates and nodded to them. With one quick flash they were all off and flying into the sky. "Bye Chi-chi" Yamcha and Tien yelled out. Piccolo turned to Gohan and gave him a small smirk. Gohan, realizing that Piccolo could hear what he said to his mother, gave Piccolo and light punch on the arm and said "Don't be a dick you fucking cucumber" Piccolo just smiled and kept flying.

"I can't believe you said that to Chi-chi and lived" Yamcha said "Neither can I" Gohan replied.
