I know this is a short chapter but I was happy to get some reviews this early. Please know that this is a work in progress and partly a retooled story. Bear with me and we could have something really good here.

Thank you Lucy Wood and Dracons for reviewing my story, I appreciate your comments.

Now withou further ado, here is chapter 2:

"Gohan get down here, I want to talk to you!" screamed ChiChi. Gohan was already half awake lying in bed the next morning. It was early but Gohan could smell the food. It was enticing but he knew to get to the food he would have to get past his mother and that wouldn't be good. He sighed "well I have to deal with her sooner or later". Gohan took the steps slowly, his mother stood in the kitchen feeding little Goten, the spitting image of Goku.

"Gohan, we need to discuss your future," she said, already sensing him at the bottom of the steps, "You cant keep running around with your father's deliquent friends fighting and being a bum, and you know I dislike that Evil Piccolo you play with"

"Mom he's not evil anymore and his training helps me focus and I'm not a bum, thanks to your home schooling I'm years ahead of kids that go to regular school" Gohan stated.

"Bulma told me that I was at college level in all my studies, in fact she was sure I didn't even need an instructor, I could teach myself anything"

"No son of mine is gonna be hanging out all day and not making me proud, I don't care what Bulma says you are to spend more time reading your textbooks than fighting God knows what, who knows where" screeched Chichi. "Is that clear?"

"Yes ma'am" Gohan was humbled and he ate his food quickly but in silence as he watched Goten get tired of eating and play with his food.

2 years passed and Gohan continued to get stronger, at 15 he could control his super saiyan 2 transformation with expert manipulation. Goten would often try to spar with Gohan, which made gohan proud, but he wished his father was home.

He made up his mind. He would use the dragonballs to wish his father back. He had already collected the dragonballs a few years earlier but hid them in a cave nearby. It was time to do what he had been in indecision about for a while now.

"Arise Shenron and grant my wishes!" Gohan stepped back as the great dragon took form in the sky. No matter how many times he had seen it. The long green dragon filled the sky and Gohan cleared his throat.

"You who have called upon me, make your two wishes now!" Bellowed the legendary beast.

"Shenron I wish for you to bring my father back to life for my first wish" cried Gohan.

"It is done, now your second wish"

Gohan thought about why his father would want to stay dead, he obviously doesn't know about Goten. What father would let his son be raised without a father?

"My second wish is that my father be able to travel back and forth from earth to Other World to keep up his training"

"Very well is has been done!"

At that the mighty dragon disappeared and the dragonballs turned to white rocks and scattered about the earth once again.

Gohan had felt his father's energy signature and it was stronger than ever. He knew it seemed impossible but in the event his dad was receiving special training he knew he wouldn't wanna be taken away from it. 'This is it, dad should be coming home as soon as he realizes what I did' thought Gohan.
