The sun of high morning shone right into Gohan's eyes. He tried to roll over in bed but that incessant light wouldn't disappear. He finally sat up in his bed, opening his eyes slowly. He rubbed both eyes trying to have them come into focus. Then he yawned, stretching his arms. He felt as if he didn't have a care in the world. Then suddenly he was slammed back into his reality. For a moment it felt as if everything was normal again. It isn't yet but it will be…I wonder if mom is up yet.
Gohan quickly got dressed, and then went down stairs to where he heard his mother humming from the kitchen.
"Good morning sleeping beauty. Hurry and eat your breakfast." Chichi greeted him pointing to the steaming porridge on the table. "Today Trunks is leaving we have to hurry and get over there."
"Mom," Gohan looked up from gobbling down his breakfast to question, "how are we supposed to get there, you don't like flying with me and you don't know how to drive." Gohan trailed off as Chichi held a license in front of his face.
"Where did you get that? Is it real?" Gohan pointed to it amazingly.
"Of course it is real. While you men were training for the Cell games I went and took my drivers test. Your Father isn't…. wait wasn't the most reliable driver. I thought we needed more than one in this family." Chichi said with a half forced smile.
Here comes life. Mom this is going to be hard…but we can make it. He said we would. Time is what we need.
"Wow, Mom." Gohan tried to say in his most cheerful voice. He looked up at the clock and said. "Isn't it time we should be leaving?"
Chichi in response looked up towards the clock and her calm face turned into a mask of urgency. "Gohan hurry we're late. I'll grab the capsule. I'll meet you in the yard." Chichi left his sight and started digging through a drawer. Gohan slowly stood up walking out the door after putting his bowl in the sink. The spring sun felt warm on his pale skin. A breeze passed over his face, he inhaled calmly. I can do this.
Boom!
There was a cloud of smoke and a red plane appeared his mother was already sitting inside of the cockpit. She was gesturing with her arms to come in. Gohan took a step back trying to think what his mother would be like driving. A picture of her laughing madly flying in barrel rolls and him passed out came to his mind. She can't be as bad as Piccolo or Dad…
He walked calmly up to the plane and stepped in and sat down in his seat; saying a silent prayer, and clenching his armrest.
With a fierce twist of the key and punching a combo of buttons the engine roared and the two were in the sky. To Gohan's surprise Chichi wasn't a maniac driver.
"Don't look surprised unlike your Father; it took me once to earn my license." She smiled.
To Gohan the ride went quickly a race of blue sky and clouds. Soon he could see the humungous Briefs plantation.
"Prepare for landing." Chichi warned. She started to turn so knobs and pushed several different buttons. Suddenly the low hum of the engines stopped and the plane started to plummet towards the ground. Chichi tried pushing some other buttons on the dashboard but nothing worked. Gohan was about ready to bust out his door to recover the falling plane. When both of them felt a sudden stop in mid-air, the two of them turned to look out the windows to see what had happened. Krillen was right next to the window smiling and waving. When they were safely on the ground, Krillen exclaimed how he'd just arrived and saw their plane falling. Gohan bowed and thanked him, then turned to look at his mother.
"I guess I need a little work on my landings." She smiled shrugging. Gohan was about to reply when he saw all the Z gang walking outside to greet them.
"Hey you guys." Bulma greeted them. Baby Trunks was babbling in her arms. Then Vegita stood behind her, he gave them both a nod. (Well what can you expect it's Vegita)
"Thanks for coming." Mirai Trunks greeted them. His hair appeared to be cut from the shoulder length it was during the fight with cell and returned how it was the first time they ever saw him falling in the vicinity of his ears.
"Do you really have to go now?" Yamcha asked.
"I have business to attend to in my own dimension." Trunks replied.
"That's right you have to eliminate Your Cell and the two Androids, can you handle it?" Gohan question.
"Of course, I'm a lot stronger now, thanks to all of you and the training. The sooner I leave the better, probably." He answered. Trunks took out a capsule and with the press of the cap and a cloud of smoke his Time Capsule appeared. Gohan, Bulma, Krillen, and Yamcha, stepped forward from the others to say goodbye.
"I'll never forget you Dude." Krillen said
"Same here, I can't believe you're leaving." Yamcha told him
Gohan stepped forward, "Trunks, I can't believe everything that has happened, thanks for the help. I can't even start to think you're really leaving. Don't forget to come back one day."

Trunks could barely manage to leave these people. Through the whole time he was here in this dimension they felt as family. Now it was time to go, back to his home, he knew it. He saw his mother step forward, on the verge of tears and tried to hide his developing ones with his lavender bangs.
"You take care of yourself Trunks. Be careful. Don't forget us and…" Bulma turned away the tears winning. Baby Trunks started trying to grab him. Trunks gathered up his younger self, and held him in his arms.
"You be grateful for all these people, and protect them. Like I know you will." The moment was disturbed when Baby Trunks somehow started to pull on his hair. "Man, you really seem to like doing that." He cringed as Baby Trunks happily tugged with all his strength. Dislodging the baby's chubby fingers Bulma took him, and Trunks turned around came to his capsule and climbed up into the cockpit. Everyone on the ground started to wave. Vegita was now leaning against a tree, gave him a short salute Trunks returned it not as amazed as he would be at the gesture if he had just first arrived. He heard how his Father had reacted when he had died and finally was convinced he wasn't a mistake and his Father had respect maybe even love for him and his Mother. Now fully in the air he took in the picture of this undisturbed Earth with his new friends. Then he let out a sigh and started his journey through space and time to his home. That chapter is closed. I'll never forget them… But there's still a lot of work for me to do. First it's you damn Androids. Watch out because I'm coming back…

As Gohan looked up and saw Future Trunks blasting off the disappearing in a bright flash, he felt a soft pressure on his shoulder. He turned to see who it was but saw no one; instead he felt his Dad's presence. "Good job my son. You must protect them all you know. Look out for your mother I sense something in her… I'm not sure what it is." Goku said through a soft voice in his head.
"Don't leave, Dad No!!!" Gohan screamed in his mind as he heard his Father's voice start to fade to a faint echo.
"Gohan, you know I'm not gone. Live. I'm looking to see how you're doing." Goku responded the words echoing in Gohan's head to a soft murmur then disappearing. What does he mean something is inside Mom. Will she be okay?
Chichi looked out her bedroom window and sighed. The day went by so fast, talking and just hanging out with everyone. She was busy, but somehow her thoughts kept reverting to Goku. Goku, I can't get you out of my mind. I've also been feeling weird and sick all day. What's happening to me? I haven't felt like this since I was….
"Kami!" She gasped out loud. "Could I be…? Could I be pregnant again??? It's possible… But now?" she whispered in shock. She wished she could scream this out loud but Gohan. Gohan had to be asleep by now. But how, how could she tell him, it was a shock even to her. How would he take it? Wait I shouldn't get ahead of myself. Said her practical side. I'll go see Bulma tomorrow. No need to get jittery, there might not even be anything to worry about. She rubbed he lower stomach and went to lye in her bed; for a restless night's sleep.
The wind blew harshly around Gohan's body, as he speeded here and there; practicing the precision of his punches and kicks. He started to sweat; it was a strangely humid day. His new blue gi hung damply from his already sweating body. How hot is it out here? That doesn't matter I still have to train. Peace can only last for so long. Even if there's nothing happening that's no excuse to slack off. God, I'm starting to sound like Vegita. He smirked, wiping his coal black hair from his eyes. He started the whole exercise over adding in a ki blast here or there. Later he situated himself on the grass in front of an enormous apple tree with a huge dent in it; that he had made when he was toddler. Crunching one of the sweet juicy red apples he started to think. Why did Mom just go see Bulma so unexpectedly? Does that have to do with what's supposedly inside her? I guess I'll just wait and see what happens. He sat up to start the trip home. Maybe I'll catch a fish for dinner tonight? He thought. It doesn't really matter. Whatever may come will. Is this going to be my usual day until some other threat arrives? But no I feel like it isn't. I keep having this weird feeling of what it will be… God, how many questions can one person or almost teenager handle? You start trying to find the answer to one and you find no answers but more questions.
Ending notes: So here's chapter two. It'll probably need some revising. But it's starting to set the scene for the whole story. Could Chichi be pregnant, with o may be Gotens? What direction is this fan fiction actually heading in? Oh god I'm sounding like that announcer guy. Anyway thanks for reading and Please Review.
C ya later ;)
