Author's Note: This takes place after the cell games, Goku has somehow been brought back to life yet again (because that happens like all the time in DBZ). I might not be consistent with everything in DBZ but I don't really care, so whatever.

It was pretty cold in the area where Goku was at the moment. He just kind of ignored it and kept going on; knowing that if he paid attention to the cold it would overpower him. He had to find that sorcerer before it was too late. He needed that extra edge that would allow him to beat Vegeta. He had been searching the snow-covered island for quite some time now and was almost feeling as if he should just completely give up and go back to his life when he suddenly he felt another presence. 'Good,' he thought to himself, now I know where this sorcerer is and he'll be able to give me the extra boost I need to be Vegeta once and for all. He lowered himself down to the area where he had felt the sorcerer's presence. "Welcome," said the sorcerer. He was rather short and his voice somewhat raspy and almost snake-like. "I haven't much time, please step in," he said motioning to a cave. Goku followed the sorcerer into the cave. A door slammed shut right behind him and Goku immediately had a bad feeling, yet kept on anyway.

Gohan walked in the door to his home, interestingly enough finding nobody there. He looked around and just kind of shrugged. What did it matter to him anyway, he could use the peace and quiet for once. He walked into his room and just laid down on his bed. Putting his hands behind his head he sighed. Things weren't quite the way they used to be in his house.

It used to be that everything was nice and peaceful and enjoyable. But battle after battle after battle had changed his perspective of things. He was quite sick of it and most of the people around him too. His father was always going on about purity of heart and being nice and what not, yet his father never realized it was his biggest weakness when he fought. It was so disgusting sometimes. It was even more disgusting that he was like that one time. Well then again, he was pretty young and rather childish at that point. Then there was his mother Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi was so ridiculously demanding most of the time, especially about his studying that it drove him nuts. It kind of made sense though - considering that his father was always off saving the world from some thing or another. Gohan wondered just what it was that motivated these people to keep on continuing. Surely Chi-Chi must get tired of all their fighting and surely Goku must get tired of saving the world all the time, well then again he's Goku so maybe not.

Then there was Vegeta - what a pain in the ass. He was so full of himself and had so much pride it could be absolutely painful at times. Perhaps the most annoying thing about him was that he never could get over the fact that he was unable to beat Goku. Gohan kind of understood it though. After all Vegeta was the highest of the Saiyan-jinns, while Goku - or Kakkarot as Vegeta called him - was one of the lowest sayain-jinns that had ever crossed the breed. So it really wasn't fair to Vegeta anyway. Gohan just shrugged. He needed to get all of these people out of his mind for once so that he could relax and just be himself. Whoever that was anyway.
