Torn Apart Chap. 1
Deep within the 439 mountain area a small boy and his father could be seen playing outside of a cozy, simple home, garnished with trees and wild flowers, and a small one person cabin that looked ancient compared to the fairly new cozy home. A woman with sleek black hair tied in a bun, was cooking a sweet smelling dinner on the stove while humming a catchy tune. A timer went off and the woman clicked the stove "off". Softly she opened the window facing the boy and father. The woman couldn't help but smile when she looked on at her happy little family. She looked down at her stomach, and whispered "Another one to add to the family." The woman was a couple months pregnant and she couldn't wait. Facing the outside again she called out "Goku, Gohan, dinners ready!"
Gohan withdrew his hand which was aiming for his father's chest. "Ok mom, we'll be right there!" Gohan called. He looked back to his father and did a double take when he realized Goku was no longer there. Gohan turned to the house to see his informal father getting slapped for going through the window. Laughing, Gohan ran to join his family, wisely entering from the door. As everyone was eating, Goku stopped stuffing his face and looked up at his wife.
"Hey Chichi, great dinner.Did Gohan's surprise come yet?"
Gohan looked up at the mentioning of a surprise for him.
"Actually the surprise should be here shortly. Now Gohan don't get your hopes up. The surprise isn't really for you; it's for the whole family. Your father is just teasing." Chichi replied to Gohan's egger expression.
A few hours passed and Gohan was busy studying in his room while Chichi did the dishes, talking to Goku as he stared out the window waiting to greet the 'surprise". Finally a small car with the paint job peeling off rolled up through the thick grass stopping in front of the house. A young girl raged and thin rustled out of the car. Her hair was black and in ponytails that hung on her shoulders. Sensing someone, Gohan looked out his window. When he spotted the girl he ran into the living room where his parents were. The girl walked awkwardly beside a tall thin man wearing a suit. Goku opened the door and greeted the gloomy girl with a giant smile. She didn't respond to his kindness, rather, she just stood there and stared at nothing in particular.
Chichi turned to the tall man and took some papers from him, she signed them and handed them back. The man patted the girl on the head, but was cut short when she flinched and ducked away. He walked back to his car and drove away, leaving the girl out on their front porch. Chichi guided the girl into the house and shut the door. "Gohan, I would like you to meet Videl. She will be staying with us for a while." Chichi reported to the blushing Gohan.
He heard what his mother said, but was too busy to care. Gohan had caught the eye of Videl and was lost in her gaze. She had big blue eye's that sparkled in the light. Her eyes didn't match the small smile she had forced on her face. They looked sad, and lonely, lost and distant. Gohan was determined to find out why her eyes were sad and then, make them happy. He smiled at her, but it turned to a frown when her eyes watered slightly. He had figured she had been like that for a while because she was good at holding back her tears. He was ready for his new mission.
