Title: Falling

-

Diamond: Surprised to see me? I know I said I would be taking a month off but my friends helped me feel a lot better and get back on my feet. They encouraged me to start a new story as well. Thank you for the kind reviews I got, those also helped me quite a bit. I even changed my name if you haven't noticed. I like it a little better.

The full moon light shone through the window, giving everything it touched a blue hue. Everything was calm and the residents of the Son household were sound asleep. Except one. Goku stared at the ceiling fan spinning above him. He had a habit of staring when he was troubled, and that could be the only explanation for it because the fan wasn't that interesting. Goku was worried for his youngest son, Goten, and with good reason. His son had been acting very strange lately and Goku was becoming more and more worried every day. He's been distancing himself from his friends, locking himself in his room, and just being strangely detatched even from him! And that's what bothered him the most.

Ever since he came back to life, Goten seemed to pop up wherever the older went. Not that he minded though, he enjoyed his son's company. Even if it is unexpected. He just hoped that whatever was bothering him would go away soon, because he was starting to miss Goten's happy yet slightly hyper attitude.

Goku looked over to the other side of the bed. Empty. Chi Chi had decided she wanted a little vacation from the saiyan trio she lived with and made no hesitation in calling Bulma and Videl to go to a girls week out. Leaving all the men by themselves. Well, Gohan was gone to. He took his three year old daughter to camp. He looked to the other side at the clock. The blue digital numbers read six thirty.

"No since in trying to sleep now. Might as well get up."

So he lugged himself out of bed, hoping a shower might wake him up more. He discarded his white boxers and blue t-shirt and stepped into the water. Deciding to make it cold as an after thought.

(Diamond: Hope you didn't think I was going to go into detail there! ;)

"Goten! Are you up!" Goku called from the downstairs kitchen, only to receive a moan from the living room.

"Goten? Are you in there?" He walked into the room to see Goten half asleep on the couch obviously trying to watch Pokemon.

"Goten? Wake up kiddo, I need to know what you want for breakfast." He smiled warmly at him, amused with his son's pajamas. They were dark blue with stars, moons, and clouds all over. His brown tail was laying across his face. (Diamond: I wanted him with one, I think it looks cute! I'm strange.)

Goten perked up at the word breakfast. Lifting his head up a bit he replied. "Pancakes! Oh! And bacon! With lots and lots of syrup and orange juice!"

Goku laughed to himself. Goten was so like him sometimes it was funny. He felt a little sorry for his grandpa Gohan. Especially if this was how he acted.

"You read my mind. But your gonna have to help me make it. I'm not the best of cooks." He said sheepishly.

"Ok, just let me change."

Goten ran up to his room. A series of thumps, bangs, and a few flying articles of clothing followed and he ran back down the stairs dressed in his orange and blue gi.

They both laughed as Goten skated across the floor in his socks stopping at, what do you know, the fridge.

The kitchen was a mess now. Flour, batter, syrup, and orange juice everywhere. They had tried to make orange smoothies first but that didn't go to well because they didn't know exactly how to use the blender.

Both of them were covered head to toe in flour.

"Man, and I took a shower this morning to." They started laughing.

Goku thought now would be a good time to ask Goten what was bothering him but decided not to ruin the good morning they were having. He would ask him later.

Diamond: How was it? Review please!
