Author's Note:

Ok, there are quite a few things; I notice when I uploaded the first two chapters (again) the mistakes I fixed in the first upload I didn't save in the second one. So I'll be re-uploading the first two chapters again, in the upcoming weeks.

My goal for uploading chapters are 2 chapters a month (I'll try to go for more, but no promises), I do have an outline for the whole story, so hopefully I can keep this goal.

I would like people to know that my writing isn't my greatest skill, so if there are some grammar issues I'm sorry. If anyone corrects my grammar thanks for taking the time doing so.

Also I want to thank Strawhatmac and caiothug4fe for following/favoring my story.

Enjoy. :)

Edit:

So I'm using a program called OpenOffice, which works out great, but I notice that some line breaks aren't showing up when I upload chapters to Fanfiction, so I had to re-upload the 3rd chapter, because I'm OCD and I hate the fact chapter 3 looks different from the other ones.

Chapter 3:

"BOYS. DINNER!" the matriarch of the Son family called aloud. A few seconds later three dots in the distant sky could be seen, growing bigger with each second.

"Hahahah, looks like I'm gonna get to the shower first!" she heard her eldest, Gohan called aloud. Goten, her second son, tried to keep up with his brother, shouted back angrily, "No Fair! I said I wanted the shower!"

"Sorry squirt, first come, first serve." Gohan teased. He landed before the other two, and as soon as his feet touch the ground, he ran into the house; giving his mother little time to get out of his way.

"Gohan! You know the rules no running in the house; and you better not have track any mud." Chi-Chi heard a faint "sorry" and "I didn't" coming from the direction of the bathroom.

She turned around to see her youngest pouting with his arm cross and his tail downcast. His father landed behind him. Ruffling his hair he said, "Come on Goten, there's nothing wrong with taking a bath."

"What's going on?," Chi-Chi inquired.

"Gohan being mean! He knew I wanted to take a shower, but he took it instead." Goku step away from his son and whisper to Chi-Chi, "I guess Trunks told Goten that taking baths are for babies, so he challenge Gohan for the shower."

Chi-Chi rolled her eyes, she couldn't believe how immature Gohan was acting, but she would be lying if she said it didn't bring her joy, seeing her son act like a kid. Gohan had a normal childhood, up until the age of 4. From that age to 11 her baby boy had so many life and death fights, watching his friends and even father dying. He had to grow up so fast and it broke her heart. However the worst was when Cell killed her husband, and he stayed died for 3 months; believing this was the best way to keep his family save. Oh how wrong he was. They needed him, especially Gohan.

Gohan tried to be happy for his mother and friends, but, his guilt, newly responsibilities of being the "man of the house", and a new baby on the way, his mask was slipping, and everyone could see. The young boy was slowly becoming a shadow of his former self. They feared they would loss Gohan to his guilt. They had to get Goku back.

Most of Goku's friends knew how stubborn he could be, once he made up his mind. However, with the combined effort of Piccolo ("Gohan needs his father not some self-sacrificing idiot. I'll drag your self-righteous ass from Heaven if you say no again!") and Bulma ("You idiot! Your leaving Gohan and your unborn son fatherless! I can't believe you're using what I said as a reason to stay dead! IDIOT!)* they finally convinced Goku to come back home. With Goku back in the picture, the Son family was complete and on the road to recovery.

"Goten."

Her husband's voice brought her back to the present, "I take baths all the time, they're not bad at all, plus," Goku walks back to his son and whispers loudly, "the sooner we're clean, the sooner we can eat!"

"Ya! Mom's food is the best, lets take a fast bath dad!" Goten grab his father's hand and drag him to the outdoor tub.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Out of all the meals, dinner time was Chi-Chi's favor; it was the one time where every member of the Son family were available to eat together. With their farm to tend to, Goten's homeschooling (which sometimes took place at Bulma's), and Gohan's bi-weekly prince sessions (held back in Chi-Chi's home land the Fire Mountain); someone was always missing at the dinning table.

"Goku, how are the crops doing? I have some buyers line up, but they want to know when we're going to harvest them"

"They're looking good, two more weeks and the crops will be ready; and this year Goten will help out," he turn to said son and ruffled his hair. "I'll teach you how to pick crops the turtle school way."

"YA!" Goten jumped and cheer, he was finally gonna get some training.

The young boy was just like his dad, he loved to fight and wanted to learn his father's and mother's style, however his mother was known to be extremely against any fighting. To everyone surprise tho, Chi-Chi said yes, although there were conditions. Goku could properly start training Goten when he turned six, he had to complete his homework and chores for the day, and lastly Goten had to have free time (both from training and school work).

While Goku recounted his training with Master Roshi to Goten, Chi-Chi turned to Gohan to give him the good news.

"Gohan, I started registration paperwork for Domino High School. You need to take a few assessment test at the school first, but within little over a week, you'll be able to start."

"Finally," Gohan cheerfully cried out, "I though no one would take me." Searching a high school that would take him in, was harder than he though. Living on Mt. Paozu left many High school doubtful that Gohan could arrive to school on time; even with a personal plane (even tho he flew faster than one of those things, unfortunately he couldn't tell the schools this, not that they would believe him anyway). In Addition to being absent two times a week, many schools turn Gohan down. The only schools that allowed him to register were Domino High School and Orange Star High School; however Orange Star High School was out of the question.

Finding out that Mr. Satan not only lived there, but that the city changed its name from Orange City to Satan City, his mother refused to sign up Gohan to that school; ("I will NOT let that oaf of a man take any more credit from my son! That stupid man will probably claim Gohan achievements were because he went to the "Champs" high school! It's bad enough he took your credit for defeating Cell and bad mouthing your Father's and every worthwhile martial artist. Even if you have to fly half way across the world. I would never sign you up for that High School!").

"Gohan?" Goten called to his brother, "you're not going to forget about me are you? Your so busy already, and now you're going away to high school, will I ever see you?"

"Oh Goten, just because I'm going to school, doesn't mean I'm moving out. We'll still hang out, you can't get rid of me that easily," Gohan reach to ruffled his head but quickly grab one of Goten's egg rolls.

"HEY! That's mine!" Goten grab the rest of the egg rolls and stuff them in his mouth, glaring at Gohan; Goku cried at the lost of said food, "Aww, I wanted one".Silently laughing to himself, Gohan watch as his mom reprimanded Goten for taking all the egg rolls and consulted his dad, telling him she'll make more tomorrow.

Gohan went back to eating, his thoughts slowly consumed about public school, how was school like, how did people his age act, could he keep his power under control? I defeated Cell, yet going to public school with other peers is freaking out; but I can't wait to make friends my own age.

Notes:

* Can't remember if it was from the anime, but I could of sworn I heard Goku say something about Bulma being right and how trouble always finds him.

Ya! Goku is alive, I really didn't see the point in him staying dead. I mean the whole reason he was killed off was because Gohan was gonna be the main character, but that never happen. He's doesn't like to fight so Akira Toriyama brought Goku back. So I don't see why he would stay dead.

In Dragon Ball Z, I wish they kept their tails, so in my story they do, also I though it would be weird if only Yugi had a tail and no one else did.
