Gohan Son woke up on an average day in September. Or so he thought. After getting up and washing his face, he headed outside to do his morning training. After stretching a bit and warming up, he started doing his daily thousand push-ups. Sometime around 700, his brother Goten walked out.
"Hey Goten." said Gohan, getting up and drying his face with a towel.
"Hey Gohan." replied Goten, "Wanna spar?"
"Ok, sounds good." said Gohan, "Warm up while I finish my push-ups."
"Ok!" chirped Goten, and he promptly sat down to do his leg stretches. After about ten minutes, both brothers were ready. Striking a battle pose, Gohan called out,
"Ready?"
"Ready!" came the happy reply. So Gohan quickly flew forward and started a series of punches toward his brother. His punches having no effect, Gohan quickly dodged to the side and struck a defensive position. His rock-hard forearm was struck by a series of powerful kicks from his younger sibling. Moving quickly upwards, Gohan fired a series of ki blasts downward at his brother. But a face quickly emerged from the smoke, followed by a small body. A powerful leg connected with Gohan's skull, and he fell to the Earth. With a sickening thud, Gohan hit the ground and lay still.
"Great job, Goten, that was quite a kick." Both boys looked up to a nearby tree and saw their father sitting on a large branch.
"Dad! I didn't know that you were up!" cried Goten, flying over to his father, "Did you see the whole fight?"
"Not all of it" replied Goku, "But I saw most of it. That was quite some barrage of blasts there Gohan."
"Thanks, Dad." said Gohan, "Goten really is getting quite a bit better."
"Yeah." said Goten, flying down, "But I'm still no match for you. Here." he grabbed Gohan's hand and hauled him up, "So, up for another go?"
"You know it!" replied Gohan. But just then, they heard a voice from the house.
"Boys! Breakfast!"
"Coming Mom!" yelled Goten, "Hey Gohan, race ya!" and he ran into the house. Gohan, however, hung back to walk with his father.
"Thank you for doing that, Gohan." said Goku, quietly.
"Doing what?" asked Gohan, playing dumb.
"You know what I mean." said Goku, "I think it's really great that you're building up your little brother's confidence by letting him win that way."
"Was it that noticeable?" asked Gohan, hanging his head rather guiltily.
"Well, I noticed it, but I don't think that he did. That was a really nice thing that you did."
"Thanks, Dad." said Gohan, smiling.
"Come on, son, let's go get some breakfast." said Goku, patting his now grumbling stomach.
"Be there in a minute, I've gotta grab my training stuff." and he ran back to grab his towel and his training bag. However, unbeknownst to Gohan, a small giggling figure lurked in the shadows. Running up behind Gohan, she shrieked,
"Transportatia!!!" Instantly, the world Gohan knew blurred away into a swirling oblivion.
