Chapter 3: Lets name him...Icarus

Gohan was sitting up in a tall tree. He learned a lot from his future counterparts. His ki control was better than anyone's on earth at the moment. His power level increased dramatically. He trained every night. He didn't even have to fall asleep to see Mystic and Majunior anymore. He worked on his meditation so he can see them anytime he chooses. Right now he was working on ki sensing. His eyes were closed shut in concentration.

'Hmm. Where is she? There she is!' Gohan thought as he jumped down from the tree. He was diving towards the ground, but just before he hit he flipped forward and landed on his feet. He started running towards the ki he sensed. He finally stopped at a bush. He dug his hand in the bush to grab something. He pulled his hand out to reveal his little sister in his grasp. He had her picked up by the back of her shirt."

Chiku crossed her arms and pouted. "No fair Gohan. How do you keep finding me so fast?"

Gohan smiled. "I'm just really good at this game. You want to play something else?"

Chiku nodded. "I wanna go explore!"

Gohan chuckled. "Okay just stick close to me. The forest has some pretty mean animals and I don't want you to become their dinner."

Chiku nodded and they both ran deeper into the forest. Chiku was trying to play with the birds while Gohan was playing with the insects. Chiku saw a little bunny and started to chase it. Gohans stomach started to roar of hunger making him laugh sheepishly while petting his belly. "Hey Chiku are you ready to head back. I'm getting pretty hungry." He turned to see that his sister was nowhere in sight. "Chiku? Chiku?" Gohan yelled, but received no answer. He sighed. "I told her to stick close to me and not run off." He ran in the direction he felt her ki.

Chiku was still chasing the bunny. She was having a blast. She was inching closer and closer to the bunny until a baby dragon swooped in and snatched up the rabbit. Chiku stood there in shock at seeing the bunny get snatched away. A few seconds afterwards a giant T-Rex approached and licked his lips at the sight of Chiku. Chiku saw the T-Rex moving towards her and started to scream and cry while running away..

Gohan looked up when he heard a scream. "That sounded like Chiku, but where is she?" He felt her ki up ahead. He could feel her fear. "Don't worry Chiku I'm coming."

Chiku was running, but she wasn't fast enough. The T-Rex dipped his head to scoop her up in his mouth. He was a few inches away from her when he was hit in the head by a baby dragon. The hit didn't hurt the T-Rex but it sure did distract him. The T-Rex turned and struck the dragon with its tail sending it too the ground. Chiku gasped and ran towards the dragon. She examined him and saw that he had a broken leg and its tail was bent out of shape. She saw the T-rex approaching them. She threw her body on the dragon and closed her eyes waiting for the pain of being eaten. She opened her eyes when she heard a large crash. She saw her brother standing in front of the large T-Rex who was now on the ground.

"Are you alright Chiku?" Gohan asked never breaking eye contact with the dinosaur. "What happened?"

Chiku smiled glad to see her brother. "The big dinosaur tried to eat me, but this dragon saved me. He got hurt pretty bad too."

Gohan snarled at the dinosaur. No one tries to eat his sister while he's around. The T-Rex stood up and roared ferociously. Gohan stood his ground. "Chiku stay behind me." Gohan said receiving a nod from her. The T-rex lunged at them. Gohan jumped and kicked it in the chin making him reel backwards. The T-Rex looked enraged. It swung its tail at him, but Gohan caught it. He started to swing the Dino faster and faster. When he let go the t-Rex was thrown all the way across the forest.

Gohan dusted his hands and turned back to his little sister with a glare on his face. "Didn't I tell you to stay near me! You've could've been killed running off alone like that!"

Chiku's eyes started to water and Gohan immediately felt bad. He never yelled at her before and Chiku didn't like it.

Gohan sighed and pulled her into a hug. "Its okay. I'm just glad that you're safe. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just worried is all."

Chiku hugged him back and let a few tears come down. "I'm sorry Han. I didn't mean to worry you."

Gohan let go and smiled at his sister. "Well the big bad Dino is not going to bother us anymore. Lets go home!"

Chiku looked down at the dragon. "We have to help him first! He's hurt."

Gohan looked down at the dragon and picked him up bridal style. "I'll carry him home and have Mom or Dad help him with his injuries. Don't tell them about the dinosaur thing. Mom will freak out especially if they knew I beat up a dinosaur!"

Chiku nodded. "I didn't know you were so strong. My big brothers the coolest."

Gohan smirked. "And don't you forget it. Lets go."

They made their journey home without any problems. The dragon woke up halfway to the house and started licking Gohan. When they arrived at the house Chiku opened the door. "Mom! Dad! Can someone come here please. One of our friends is hurt."

Chi Chi ran to the door. "Who's hurt! She saw the dragon on the ground. "What is that and why did you bring it here."

Gohan, who was smart enough to place the dragon on the ground before his mom came out, looked at his mom with sad eyes. "He's hurt mommy. We found him in the forrest. Can you please patch him up."

Goku came out at that time. "Come on Chi he looks really hurt and how can you say no to those faces." He said looking at the sad pleading eyes of his kids.

Chi Chi sighed. "Fine. Goku go get my first aid kit. Gohan, Chiku you two go wash up. Lunch is on the table for you both."

Goku went to get the first aid kit while his children ran upstairs to the bathroom. After about 20 minutes Chi Chi was finished. She had his leg and tail taped up with a splint on both to keep it set in place. She bandaged the cuts he had and even managed to bathe him. Well she made Goku bathe him. Gohan and Chiku were trying to help anyway they could. Chi Chi got up and dusted off her dress. "Well now that your little friend is taken care of I'm going to go clean myself up." She looked down at her children. "Why don't you two go to the lake and catch a fish for you little friend. I'm sure he would appreciate it. I don't think he can get food for himself in his condition. Goku you can go with the kids. Make sure they stay out of trouble and take the dragon with you."

Gohan looked at Chiku. "Race you to the pond."

"You're on!" She said with a huge grin.

They took off and started running for the pond making their parents smile. Goku gently picked up the dragon and started following his kids. "We'll be back soon Chi Chi."

Chi Chi nodded and went back into the house. She stopped dead in her tracks when a thought hit her. "How did they get the dragon here?" She asked to herself.

When Chiku reached the pond she was panting. She looked over at her brother to see that he wasn't even the least bit winded. "How come I'm all out of breath and you're not?"

Gohan shrugged. "I guess I'm just really energetic today."

Goku arrived not too long afterwards. "You guys ready to catch a fish for... Hmm. Maybe we should think of a name for him. We can't keep calling him dragon. Any thoughts guys?"

Suddenly a memory came into Gohans mind. He saw himself playing with a dragon that looked just like the dragon he was looking at now. He smiled at his future counterparts memory. "How about Icarus?"

Chiku nodded furiously. "I like it! Icarus! Icarus! Icarus!"

Goku smiled warmly at his kids. "Okay Icarus it is. He set Icarus down. He tried to stand, but he fell as soon as he got up.

Gohan ran over immediately. "Hey stay down buddy. You're hurt and we don't want you to injure yourself even worse." Icarus looked like he understood and stayed down. Gohan smiled and started petting him . "Good boy Icarus!"

Goku started taking his clothes off and jumped in the pond. He was followed by his kids not too long afterwards. Goku dove under water and found a fish. He held it above the water over his head. "Hey Icarus do you like this one?"

Icarus looked shocked to say the least. Gohan raised his head above the water and chuckled at his father. "That's too big daddy. You have to find smaller fish for him like this. He said as he held out a fish about 25 inches long. He got out of the water and headed towards the purple dragon. He set the fish in front of him. "Here you go Icarus. eat up." Icarus blew fire on the fish cooking it to his perfection and began to gobble the fish up. Gohan looked amused. "Would you like some more Icarus?"

Icarus started making noises and nodding making Gohan chuckle. "We're going to need a couple more guys!"

"Okay!" Chiku yelled as she went underwater to catch some fish followed by her father. They both lifted their head above the water and handed their fish to Gohan. Gohan gave them to Icarus and watched him cook and eat them. After a couple more fish Icarus was full. Gohan decided to jump back in the pond. "Hey Chiku?" Gohan said as he put his index finger in the middle of her forehead. "Tag you're it!" He retreated under water."

"No fair Han!" Chiku said with a pout. She looked at her father and smirked. She patted him on the leg. "You're it daddy!" She dove under the water to get away.

Goku chuckled. "You better watch out because here I come." He said as he dove under water. A few seconds later he jumped out of the pond with both kids under his arms. "I guess I win." He said wit a huge grin.

His kids laughed and returned the grin. They continued to play until it started getting dark. Goku looked up in the sky. "Okay guys its time to go home. Your mom should have dinner ready." They basically ran to the house for dinner. Goku was again carrying Icarus who was fast asleep.

"Hey dad where will Icarus sleep tonight?" Chiku asked innocently.

"He can sleep right outside the house today. I'll build a stable or something for him tomorrow." Goku answered.

When they reached the house they ate and bathed. Gohan made up a lie saying that Icarus flew himself back. Just because his leg and tail were broken didn't mean he couldn't still fly. She bought it and they continued their dinner. After dinner Chi Chi sent the kids off to bed.

"Hey Chi Chi. I received a letter from Bulma. She said that everyone is meeting up at Roshi's place for a gathering. Its been a long time since I've seen them. I was wondering if you want to go?"

Chi Chi smiled. " I don't mind you going Goku, but to be honest I really don't know them that well. This is more of a reunion for you. I can stay home and watch the kids."

"Well I was hoping they could come with me. I know everyone will be shocked to know I have not one, but two kids." Goku explained.

Chi Chi's face went from a smile to a scowl. "I don't want my kids around that dirty old man or those meat head fighters. They'll leave a bad impression on them."

Goku looked hurt. "Oh come on Chi. They're not meat heads and they won't pick up any thing bad from them. I just want them to meet them. They are my best friends."

Chi Chi sighed. "I suppose I'll think about it. When is it?"

"In a few months."

"I definitely don't want Chiku around all those fighting karate men, but I suppose I could let Gohan go." Chi Chi relented.

Goku, knowing this was as good as he was going to get, swept his wife up into a hug. "Thanks Chi. This means a lot."

Chi Chi returned the hug with a loving smile. "Of course Goku. Anything for you!"

Gohan walked away from his parents door after that. 'I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but that did sound pretty cool. I get to meet my fathers friends. That should be fun.' He thought as he walked in his room to try and get some sleep. He closed his eyes and when he reopened them he saw his future counter parts. "Hey Mystic, Hey Majunior. Hows it going?"

Majunior smirked. " Well its kind of boring in here. No TV or anything."

Gohan chuckled. "I don't doubt it."

Mystic walked over and ruffled Gohans hair. "You're getting pretty strong there buddy. You've really been taking your training seriously."

Gohan beamed and started flexing his muscles. "Yeah I've been following yours and Majuniors training schedule. Its been tough, but I'm getting stronger each day!"

Mystic smiled as he released his hand from Gohans head. "I'm proud of you mini me."

Majunior nodded his head. "As am I young me. So anything exciting happen lately? You know other than meeting Icarus."

Gohan smiled. "I knew that was a memory of yours I was seeing. Thanks for that name by the way. I love it. " The two future counterparts smiled warmly at their younger self. "Oh daddy was talking about an invitation he got from his friends. Something about a gathering. I heard mommy and daddy talking about letting me go as well, but not Chiku."

Both Mystic and Majunior's eyes narrowed. 'So its finally going to begin' They both thought at the same time.

Gohan tilted his head sideways and gave a confused glance to his future counterparts. "Whats wrong? "

Majunior shook his head. "Nothings wrong. When is the reunion?"

Gohan tapped his chin in thought. "Daddy said in a few months."

"Well until then we'll keep going with the schedule we have been going with." Mystic said.

Majunior pulled him to the side. "I think we should increase his training. You know what happens on the day and everything afterwards." He whispered kind of harshly.

Mystic shook his head. "Of course I know what happens. I lived it just like you did. Instead of adding more training, I want him to enjoy himself. He's more than ready for that day. He's actually as strong if not stronger than Nappa is!" Majunior sighed, but Mystic still had more to say. "Look I know how you feel, but pushing more training on him will do more harm than good. Sure he'll be stronger, but he won't be happier. We're here to help him to have the childhood we never had along with being strong enough."

Majunior cracked a small smile. "You're right, but we get to increase his training during the year we wait for Vegeta and Nappa."

Mystic smiled. "I can agree to that." They looked down to see Gohan starring up at them in confusion. "What are you guys talking about and why are you whispering?"

Majunior palmed Gohans face and pushed him away. "This is between us adults."

Gohan stuck his tongue out and Majunior grabbed it with his two fingers. "Seems someones getting ahead of themselves."

Gohan desperately tried to get out of his grip. Majunior chuckled and released his tongue making Gohan fall back. "You're a jerk you know that?"

Mystic laughed. "That's what I've been saying for months."

Majunior playfully punched him in the shoulder.

Gohan smiled happily. 'I don't know how many people can say they met their older selves, but I'm glad I can say I have. I'm awesome in any universe.'

A/N: Well there's chapter 3 for you. I hope you enjoyed it. The reunion is a few months away! Mystic and Majunior solved their disagreement easily enough, but will it always be that easy? Will Gohan change the events that are bound to happen? Follow the story to find out.

TS24: Thanks! I'm glad you like the direction my story is going in so far. Its like you're reading my mind when it comes to future chapters and what I have planned to happen. I guess great minds really do think alike :)

Zekbolt55: Thank you I'm glad you liked the chapter. To answer your question, I do plan to have Gohan become a super saiyan earlier than he did in the anime. When it will happen? That will stay a secret.

pir84lyf: Great saiyaman? Probably or probably not. I'm not sure yet. Videl bossing Gohan around? Ehh we'll see when we get there.

Torturer-of-Souls: I'm glad you approve of my stupidly OP character lol.

Vishwakamarahul735: Thank you! I'm glad you love my story. No saiyaman though? No promises on that request.

GamedesignerTDBakaGohan: Thanks! I hope I don't disappoint you with future chapters. Hopefully you enjoyed this one as well.

P.S: Things are looking up again and I'm getting more time on my hands, so I started writing the next chapter of the Road less traveled by. I plan to release the next chapter by this Sunday, so be on the lookout for that. I will still release the chapters for Soul Synchronizing since they're already done you guys seem to like it a lot.
