Author's Note: Thank you to all you people that have reviewed.  I really appreciate it. Yet again I'm sorry I couldn't update sooner. I've had laryngitis for about a week, I really miss talking. Anyway why are you even reading this? Don't you want to get to the story?

Anyway review: Gohan is on Earth and is asleep. Chichi is all freaked out on hormones (or is she?). Read, Review and Enjoy ;)

On with the Show:

~~

            Kaioushin grinned and turned around to his companion. They stood on what seemed an uninhabited desert planet. The wind blew violently but it didn't phase the two beings they had a mission to accomplish.

    "We've almost tracked the wizard down." The Supreme Kai smiled. "Have you taken care of the boy?" Kaioushin asked. Suddenly he turned his gaze into the horizon and cringed. He saw the two suns of the planet starting to set and turn the sky a deep violet. Under that sky the sand looked a dark brown instead of tan. What worried the Kai was that the sand was starting to form into about 100 foot tornadoes in the distance. "Before you answer we should go back to Other World. I don't like the look of the weather."

            Kibito nodded and set a pink hand on his master's shoulder. In a blue flash of light both of them stood on Dragon's Way.

    "Why are we here?" Kaioushin asked surprised when he realized where they had appeared.

     "You wanted the status on the boy. Well this is part of the plan. His mother didn't want him to train so I had to control her thoughts on that opinion. That woman is stubborn though. It was hard to bind the thought of letting her son train into her head, almost a week it took. It kept being contradicted with thoughts of him studying. Something about being a scholar." Kibito explained.

     "So why are we here. We really should be tracking…" A newcomer cut off Kaioushin.

     "I was summoned?" What seemed a miniature witch on a floating crystal ball asked. Her pink hair seemed to eerily match the sky of Other World while her black dress and clothes seemed to bring the hair out even more.

     "Baba good to see you again. I need your assistance in the dreams of a mortal. He's a hybrid and his name is Gohan Son. You have to show him his alternate future if he doesn't train." Kibito informed her.

     "Yes I see Goku's boy. I looked at his future, man it's scary. That whole super hero this isn't really for him. I just wonder what would make him stop training having all that power he does now. Anyway I'm glad to be of service to you anytime. Especially now I think it will do the whole world good, those poses can give anyone nightmares." The tiny witch seemed to be almost joking.

            Kibito gave something close to a smirk and replied. "Thank you. I trust you'll do the job as soon as possible."

       "Interesting approach." Kaioushin observed nodding approvingly. "Proceed."

            Baba bowed her head at both the beings and then seemed to fade then totally disappear. After she had vanished Kaioushin looked up at Kibito. "Since that seems in order we should keep on our search. But still this is only the beginning of what is in store for this Gohan." Kibito nodded and placed his hand on the shorter being's shoulder and with another flash they were gone.

~~

            To exhausted to care Gohan closed his eyes and let sleep overcome him. Ignoring the fact that he was still in the plain gi like his Father's and in Super Saiya-jin mode. At first it was a dreamless slumber the kind that seems to last an instant but usually last a long time. Not even noticing Baba seemed to shimmer into his room though she still seemed transparent.

            She jumped off her crystal ball and put outstretched hands over it. Humming softly as she made it glow. This sealed the room off and helped her get into the boy's dreams. Stupid boy. Didn't even sense me come. This is what the world has as a hero. Him and Goku? If some evil monster attacked the Earth while they were sleeping the Earth would be doomed. She thought to herself. Slowly the witch concentrated on having her psyche connect to the sub conscious of the sleeping semi Saiya-jin.

~~

            What is going on here? Gohan thought to himself. He opened his eyes and he was standing in a empty grass field. He looked around and only saw flat green land and a clear blue sky. He then went to examine himself. He was wearing a lavender gi as Piccolo did except it didn't have the cape or turban. To his surprise he was still in Super Saiya-jin mode.

   "Good it worked." He turned around as soon as he heard the voice. Gohan was perplexed because usually he could sense people near him.

   "Baba?" He stuttered. When he had turned around and saw the transparent image of the witch. "What is this? Where?" He went on to question.

   "What is this is more close. This is a dream. Right now you're asleep." Baba replied sitting on her crystal ball.

   "No way you have got to be kidding me." Gohan stated his eyes wide open from disbelief.

   "You've went to Other World, Hell, another planet, and have battled killer androids and you don't believe me when I say at this moment your in a dream? That to me seems outlandish." She replied. "If you need proof try to punch yourself. It won't hurt because it's not real. Just make sure you don't pinch yourself or you'll wake up. I really don't feel like putting you under a sleeping spell." Baba urged him on to punch himself in the stomach.

            Questioningly looking at Baba he punched himself softly in the stomach. To his amazement he felt nothing. He tried it again but harder and still he felt nothing no type of sensation at all. For a final time he punched himself in the same spot as hard as he could but still nothing. He looked at Baba who was now saying how she was right and how children should obey and trust their elders. "Ok. I guess you're right.' Gohan stated suspiciously. "But why are you here? How am I and why am I dressed like this?' Gohan questioned.

     "The jist of all this is as follows. For one you are in that form because that is how your subconscious portraits you. Basically it's your self image of your self. I'm here to warn you. Right now you're in a crossroad in your life. A few decisions you make now can change your future for good or bad. I'm just warning you about what one of those futures can turn out to be." She explained. "In my personal opinion it's not pretty." She added.

            Gohan replied by just giving her a questionable look. "Why do this?" He asked. "You probably have something better to do?" 

     "Don't question me boy. Let's just say I have my orders. Now I'm going to set up the dream. This will be your path if you quit training. The dream will take place seven years in the future. You can't talk or interact with the people just observe. Now this is where I leave you. This is your own private dream. Now close your eyes and you'll be there. After the dream don't forget to consider your options from now on." Baba informed Gohan.
            He was taken aback at all that she had to say. Why wouldn't I train? Yes I don't like fighting or hurting people. But I've learned my lesson. The hard way I must add. Sometimes it's a necessity, wanted or unwanted. Of course I'll train I mean Dad told me to. Anyway. I can't describe it but there's this feeling when I'm fighting. It's like I'm more myself or deeper in touch. Wait! I'm starting to sound like Vegita. Maybe it's a Saiya-jin thing. I always can sense the urge to fight boiling under my skin. It was barely noticeable when I was younger. But lately it's been pounding into my very being. I'm just worried what will happen if it isn't quenched. Another thing to worry about is who gave Baba the orders? Gohan was flung out of his thoughts by Baba yelling at him about he should once again listen to his elders and respond.

    "Sorry. I understand everything." He apologized and then slowly let his eyelids close over his teal eyes.

            He opened his eyes and found himself standing in his own bedroom. It seemed different to the fact now there were two beds and what seemed to be filled with more books then he remembered. Seven years? Could that mean I share my room with my future sibling? His question was answered when he saw a young kid jump on a bed to the left of him. He had to side step out of the way so the kid wouldn't knock him down. Wait! God am I an idiot. He can't touch me this is a dream. It's just like watching TV no way I can get hurt. Actually from everything that's been happening it's kind of a relief. Gohan thought to himself. He then focused his gaze to the kid; he let out a cry of shock. That kid he looks just like Dad. That thought was exactly right.  The kid that was now pushing on a larger figure indeed looked just like Goku. He had the same facial features the eyes the nose. Even the goofy smile on his lips and his trademark hair that seemed to defy gravity as anyone with Saiya-jin blood in their veins did. Gohan silently moved closer to look at the kid. He then jumped back once more out of pure shock. He saw a figure rise out of the bed that disturbingly reminded him of what he always saw in the mirror. That's me? I'm a lot taller? Well it's supposed to be that way I mean I'm seven years older. Gohan watched, as his older form seemed to yawn and play a little with his brother. He also heard him call the boy Goten. Goten? That must be his name; Interesting choice mom. He smiled to himself. A sibling won't be so bad. Watching as the two played. Curious he then went around to sense the pair's ki. No way. He thought to himself. What is going on here? The kid, Goten he seems to have enough power to go Super Saiya-jin. That's unreal! Kami! What is wrong with my power level it's the same as about now? Gohan thought to himself. The idea of not training for seven years was with him. But he still didn't seem to realize this form of him had done none since Cell had been vanquished.

            It would be funny to see what this dream Vegita would say about his. Or is it my power level? Or ours? Gohan wondered. All three beings in the room turned suddenly at the sound of Chichi's voice calling them for breakfast. The two that were on the bed at the mention of a meal raced down the stairs after they heard the first syllable. Gohan slowly followed still unnoticed and trying to figure out what to do. When he got to the kitchen he saw that his Mother looked older no longer having her bangs hang over her forehead but pulled into her bun. He shrugged at this he wasn't really one who knew about female fashion. To him she basically looked the same. Silently the invisible demi-Saiya-jin observed the small family eat. He was surprised to hear his Mom yell at himself to go to school. School? What does she mean about school? Going to school. Me going to public school now that should be interesting. Gohan half chuckled and wondered to himself. He stayed put as he saw his future self run up the stairs. The hybrid turned his gaze to the young 7 year old playfully running around the table. How can that kid be so much like Dad? I've seen him for about 5 minutes and I can see the definite similarities. It's really uncanny. If this is the future then will the baby become someone like that kid? Suddenly Gohan was thrown out of his train of thought because his future self was running directly towards the door and he was in the way. Gohan's eyes widened as he didn't get out of the way in enough time and his future self just ran right through him. Did he just run right through me??? How is this possible? Of course it's possible this is a dream. But it's so realistic!  He turned his gaze to look at the Goten who was now jumping up and down like a rabbit for some strange reason. He took in the child's features memorizing them. I'll see you again soon. He thought fondly and then ran out the door to follow his future counter part.

            He was just in time to see himself go from wearing some orange pants and a white long sleeve shirt with a vest over it to something that gave him goose bumps. What in all of H.F.I.L is that? Gohan exclaimed. Gohan looked on in sheer terror as he saw his future self wearing what looked like to be a super hero costume.

            The dream Gohan was now doing some very cheerleader like posses declaring he was the Great Saiya-man protector of justice. The Guinyu Force would be proud. May be he should try to join. Gohan laughed to himself. How could I turn out this way? I look like a…Is there even a word for what I look like? He went on to examine the outfit. His keen Saiya-jin eyes saw it consisted of a very overgrown green shirt that ended past the elbows and halfway to the knee that had some sort of belt to keep it from flapping everywhere. This was over a blackbody suit and to top it off was a big red cape and some kind of helmet that served as some sort of mask. Green, and red! When have I ever worn those colors? He could be I could be a freaking Christmas decoration. Gohan watched with open teal eyes and he saw The Great Saiya-man blast off into the great yonder. Slowly he started to follow. To the young Saiya-jin's surprise he didn't even have to use ki, it was more like willing himself off the ground. Hey it is a dream. But the main question is. How the hell did I end up like this? Jeeze I get the fact that I might not want to fight since. Since well, Dad is…But still he told me to…Besides isn't it sort of my duty? The second question is. Where did he get that costume?

            The two were now flying into Satan City. Seeing the sign made Gohan just burst into fits of laughter. He saw the sign that had Hurcuel grinning behind his huge black Afro making the victory sign with his fingers. Something struck the boy though those eyes they reminded him of that Videl girl. If she is his daughter I feel sorry for her. I wonder what's happening with Lime? May be I should visit later. His mind was free to wander just because it seemed all his future self was doing was flying. Satan city that must mean Hurcuel took all the credit for defeating Cell. I wonder if I should do anything about that? He is kind of a weakling. Does he really deserve it all? Once again Gohan had to dodge his future self as Saiya-man sped down to some kind of alarm. All the demi Saiya-jin did was descend down a little and hover in the air where he could see the action.

            The Great Saiya-man raced towards the scene. Already the first protector of the city was there Videl Satan. Her purple blue eyes gazed on the scene trying to think of a way to get the bad guys. Suddenly one of her ebony pigtails was flung into her face by a great wind. She grumbled as she moved it away in a swift motion and saw that Saiya-man had already apprehended the criminals. He had already given them to the police.

            Gohan's eyes widened as he saw a girl storm over to his future self. As in Gohan's opinion had done an ok job getting the criminals. You know when dad told you/me to protect the world he really didn't mean it in this sense. Well maybe kind of but to more of a wide Earth almost being destroyed way. Did she just do what I thought she just did! Gohan yelled as he saw his future self block a punch that the girl had sent at him. Wait I just called her Miss. Videl! She does look like that girl. Did that cop just say Miss. Satan? Kami it's the girl from Lime's grandfather's shop! Nice way to handle that. Gohan observed sarcastically as he saw The Great Saiya-man just jump away and have the girl start to chase him.

            "Tell me who you are god damn-it!" She seemed to snarl. After that Gohan released a great sigh as he saw the two go off into a big chase scene. Gohan was about to follow when.

~~

    "Gohan!! Gohan get up now." Gohan bolted straight out of his bed as he heard his Mother shrill voice call for him. What was all that? Gohan thought. He remembered the dream to the exact detail. As he heard his mother start to trample up the stairs he got to his feet. Time to deal with one thing at a time. The dream analyzing can wait.
