~~~ It was a normal day in the Son household, ~~~ Goten sighed and looked around the knee deep brush, in the valley with a wry eye. He grinned as he spotted the small dragon, he pounced but a scream made the dragon run away before he could catch it,

"SON GOTEN IF YOU DON'T GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT AND START STUDYING YOU WILL NOT EAT FOR A YEAR!" Chi-chi yelled out, Goten, already quite strong and fast, phased out and appeared in front of his mother.

"Gomen Nasai okaasan" Goten said, shuffling his feet,

"DON'T DO THAT! But don't worry about it Goten, just go and do your homework like a good little boy," Chi-chi smiled fondly as her youngest son went off to do his homework. Not noticing her youngest son was covered head to toe in dirt seeing as she was preparing to shout out her oldest son's name and a sure-fire threat to follow it. Already, just like Gohan, he was starting his studies at a young age. Smiling she then began to call Gohan,

"GOHAN...!"

Hearing his mother call him, he went running as fast as he could, meaning he appeared just before Goten ran inside, a few seconds later. The sixteen- year-old boy grinned smiling at his mother,

"Yes Okaasan?" Startled Chi-chi jumped,

"Don't tell me that you learned that instant transmission technique too!" Chi-Chi all but shouted,

"No, I just ran really fast," Gohan grinned as his mother sidestepped him and grabbed Goten by the ear,

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY IN THE DIRT! LOOK AT YOU, DIRT EVERYWHERE!" She was outraged as Goten whimpered,

"Gomen nasai `kaasan," Goten whimpered, taking pity on his younger brother, Gohan stepped in,

"I'll get him washed up `kaasan, while you get our books read for studying K," Chi-chi smiled and nodded her head, the two boys ran off as she prepared many hours of work for them to do. ~~~~ Yep, just another normal day, or so they thought. ~~~~ Gohan helped his little brother wash his hair, at the age of seven, Goten sure acted like his age more then he should. He still didn't like taking a bath alone because of the incident when he was four. The poor kid almost drowned. So Gohan or his `kaasan usually helped him wash his hair. Goten didn't like swimming, but he was slowly getting over his fear of the water.

"Now Goten, I'll be right here, I want you to raise your hair out okay?" Goten nodded slowly and leaned back in the shower and began to wash out his hair quickly. Grinning Gohan watched, his sleeves of his Gi were slightly damp from Goten's vigorous scrubbing and from his splashing. Grinning as Goten finished up, Gohan held out a towel for him and soon turned off the water. Goten ran out of the bathroom like it was hells fire and ran into their room to get ready for school. Cleaning up the mess in the bathroom with abnormal speeds, he quickly entered his room. His brother was dressed in a dark blue Gi, while Gohan raised his Ki to dry his orange one. Goten was sitting at the large desk...well, it was more of a small table, that they shared. Gohan, at the age of sixteen, was already into the highest collage studying level a boy his age could get into.

Frowned he quickly read the chapter on quantum physics and started to a twenty page report on the chapter, adding a few of his own thoughts in there in brackets of just what he thought this load of crap was. He fully knew that in order for a quantum matrix to work you need tranphaysic energy not a bunch of weak and unstable piece of kuso...never mind what he thought about it. Growling he incinerated the paper before Goten could read the curse words he had written in brackets. Not only would that put him in a bad position when his brother asked what the words meant, but he was sure to get 'IT' is his mother read the paper. He shuddered at the thought and continued to write his paper. ~~~~ Unbeknownst to him, because he was concentrating so hard on not cursing the author on his 'views' of the book he had written, a group of people were headed straight for his home... ~~~~

"I'M HUNGRY!" A voice whined,

"Shut up, its your own fault you ate all the food, how do you think the rest of us feel you big BAKA!" A voice growled at him. That voice belonged to a certain black hair, blue eyed girl by the name of Satan Videl.

The boy glared at her,

"Well, if you hadn't gotten us lost in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess now would we?!" Sharpener snapped back,

"IF YOU HADN'T DROPPED THE BAGS IN THE RIVER IN THE FIRST PLACE WE WOULDN'T BE LOST NOW WOULD WE!" She screamed at him, he voice rivaling Chi-Chi's... ~~~~ Gohan and Goten looked up as they heard the voice scream a few hours later. They looked as each other, both shaking with fear and shuddering at the person whom the voice was used on.

"GOHAN! GOTEN!" Chi-chi yelled. The two yelped in unison and dashed for the door afraid of getting hit with 'IT'. They made it down, sure of breaking some world record or another.

"I'm pretty sure you heard that helpless scream nearby," Chi-Chi said, Goten and Gohan shared a look, both thinking the same thing,

'Helpless? Ya right, just about as helpless as Piccolo ruling the universe if that were possible!'

"Yes," the replied in unison once again,

"I want you to find the poor girl and bring her here, just in case she's lost or something..."

"Sure mom," Gohan said,

"Goten, I want up to pick up this list of herbs for me while you're out there." Goten nodded his head and Gohan ran to grab a capsule of emergency supplies his mother made him keep around just in case. Grinning at each other, glad they were getting out of studying for once, they set off into the dark forest, which was getting even darker as the sun set... ~~~~ Chi-Chi on the other hand, prepared for houseguests. She put up things someone might question her about, like photo-albums of the boys and Goku in Super Saiya-jin form. And other things like normal photo's that people might question. Vegeta and Trunks doing a father son fishing trip with Goku and Gohan. Vegeta had been caught preparing a Ki bomb behind Goku's grinning back. She removed the fond memory. Vegeta had ended up in the water, twice, after that. It was rather funny. She removed other things like senzu beans and fighting Gi's that were laying about the house. She put them away, then heard feet approaching. Grinning, she walked out side and prepared to great her guest. ~~~~ So what do you think of the first chapter? R&R!
