A FIGHT OF THE FINISH

GOKU AND CHI-CHI'S DISAGREEMENT

Gohan was studying in the room next to the kitchen; the walls were so thin that he heard everything that went on the kitchen. Usually it was Chi-Chi making dinner for him and his dad. But this day was different. Goku came in the kitchen; Gohan just thought he was there to help with the dishes so he paid no attention. Then he heard them talking.

"Hey Chi-Chi, we are planning a little get together with the gang" said Goku

"Oh right" said Chi-Chi "You go, I won't plan making you a meal then just me and Gohan"

"Well, we were all hoping that we can bring Gohan with us" said Goku

"What" said Chi-Chi turning round really slowly

"They have become really fond of Gohan," said Goku

"Sorry but he's studying, tea then bed" said Chi-Chi

"That's what he does every day" said Goku

"That's the normal life for a kid his age, not going off to parties with his dad, not fighting, studying having fun at home, your putting him way beyond his years"

"I fought when I was a child, look how well I turned out," said Goku

"Very badly" said Chi-Chi

"All I'm saying is, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't know that Gohan would enjoy it" said Goku

"I'm sorry Goku, but I nearly lost him on Namek, I spent months and months waiting for him to return, I was scared stiff I couldn't even think straight, I don't want that happening to me again, he's going to be a scholar, a scholar is a safe thing to be, he's really helping his country, I don't want him mixing with your friends again, you can go off and fight but Gohan stays here, it's a total ban, no going off to see your friends"

Goku looked absouletly shocked "Come on Chi-Chi, you can't do that"

"That's funny, I think I just did" said Chi-Chi "Whenever you go off, Gohan stays here"

Gohan had his ear pressed against the door "No mum don't do that" his heart was pounding like a drum beat "I want to fight"

Gohan went into the kitchen "I've done some of my studying"

"Good boy Gohan" said Chi-Chi

"What are we doing tonight?" said Gohan

"Well you father is going to the Kame house so we are going to have a little fun just you and me eh" said Chi-Chi

Gohan smiled "Kame house that is where Master Roshi and Krillin live isn't it"

"Yes dear" said Chi-Chi

"Oh please can I go" said Gohan "It will be lovely to see Krillin and the others again"

Chi-Chi looked stricken, Goku looked Gohan straight in the eyes, then back at Chi-Chi.

"Fine but then we have talk, a chat about this team" said Chi-Chi

"Ok when we get back, the three of us will have a nice long chat" said Goku

"Very well" said Chi-Chi

Goku and Gohan went out of the house "You heard everything didn't you"

"How did you know" said Gohan

"I know where you were studying, that little room next to the kitchen, I usually go in there to hear what Chi-Chi is making for dinner" said Goku, Gohan laughed, but his laughed died away.

"Yeah I did listen" said Gohan "It was hard not to"

"Did you hear what your mum said about banning you seeing our friends ever again"

Gohan nodded "Yeah I did hear that"

"Do you want to see them again" said Goku

"You know I do" said Gohan "I'd love to be part of the team"

"You already are kid" said Goku ruffling up Gohan's hair "Let's discuss everything when we get back to the house"

"Ok" said Gohan

"Ok" said Goku then he shouted "NIMBUS"

Goku's yellow cloud came flying by and they both got on, on the way to the Kame house.
