4 years came and went, along with an infinity number of diapers. A certain 4-year-old monkey-tailed boy opens his bedroom window and looked out into the mountains and violet-blue sky morning sky.
Excitedly, he shuts the window, takes off his light blue pajamas, and puts on a yellow and light green Chinese-stye tunic with red and white markings and on the center of the tunic was his really large Royal family crest written in kanji reading "SON".
The young boy then put on a pair of red boots, brushed his slightly long and spiky black hair, puts it in a short ponytail, and then puts on a red Chinese-style cap that was a little bigger than his head. The boy then ran out of his bedroom door, filled with excitement.
The boy ran under, above, and through almost anything in his way at the hallways of the palace. He ran under, above, and through tables, chairs, couches, any piece of furniture, and even people that worked in the palace; good thing he didn't literally go through the people!
Mining his own manners, the young boy said to the people he ran into or accidentally hit, "Excuse me, pardon me, sorry, coming through, etc."
Finally, the boy made it to his destination, king Goku and queen Chi-Chi's bedroom. The young boy then opens the door and ran into the king and queen's bedroom.
The boy then repeated over and over to king Goku, "Dad, come on its time to get up; come on daddy, wake up, you promise me to show me something! Wake up dad, come on daddy, get up"
At the same time while trying to wake up the king, the boy did things like jump up and down on top of king Goku's side of the bed, pulled on king Goku's arms, hands, ears, and hair, and poked on the king's face.
While the boy was trying to wake up Goku, Chi-Chi mumbled to her husband while trying to sleep," C'mon Goku, get up. Our son is awake and I want to get a straight 8 hour beauty sleep!"
Goku, also trying sleep, then mumbled back to his wife," Please, in about 5 minute, maybe hours, I will deal with him."
Finally, the boy yanked on Goku's hair, which made manage to make Goku wake up with both of his eyes half open and looking down at the boy.
After getting off the floor, the boy then said to the king with anger of a real brat, "You promise me, daddy!"
Goku can see and understand just by looking at the boy's charcoal eyes and then said, " Okay, Gohan; I'm sorry; I'm up, I'm up, you see?"
Then young boy, now known as Gohan, then jumped up and down and cheered out as his father got out of bed.
"Yes! All right dad, I knew you remember; I knew you would never forget and break any promises!"
Goku smiled at his 4-year-old son as he went behind a fancy folding screen, took of his orange long-sleeved pajamas, and change into his royal Saiyan armor, along with the cape, boots, and gloves.
Chi-Chi, still in bed, smiled happily as she watched her husband scoop up their son, covered the boy's eyes, and walked out into the large balcony.
"So daddy, what's the surprise?" asked Gohan.
"You'll find out…about…now!" said Goku.
With that, Goku then set Gohan on the floor of the balcony and removed his hands from Gohan's eyes.
The young prince was awed by what he saw, the rich orange, red, and golden yellow sunrise and the sunset's reflecting over the mountains and kingdom of Mount Paozu. This is truly beautiful to anyone who lays eyes on this true beauty of nature.
"So… this is the surprise dad?" asked the wide-eyed and unblinkable Gohan.
"Yes, sort of. You see Gohan; everything that the light touches in these very mountain is our kingdom," said Goku.
"Everything?" asked Gohan.
"Everything," said Goku.
While looking around the mountains and village, Gohan notice a dark, shadowy, grey, and spooky-looking forest just outside the kingdom. Strangely, the sunrise's reflection and light did not overlook the forest.
Full of curiosity, Gohan then asked his father, "Uh, hey dad; what's with that shadowy forest over there? It's all dark and grey and-"
"That is beyond our border; we must never, ever go there, Gohan," interrupted Goku.
"But I thought kings can do whatever they wanted," said Gohan.
"Oh there is more than being king than overpowering anyone in your way," said Goku.
"There is?" asked Gohan.
"Yes, my son, there is," said Goku as he picked up Gohan and flew off above the entire kingdom. Everyone was amazed to see the king and his son flying above their very own heads.
Gohan too was amazed and dazzled by the entire kingdom. There were stores, houses, farms, schools, and many more that had a great interest to the young prince.
Finally, the two royals made it to a big grassy plain with a few tress, just in the outskirts of the kingdom. When Goku landed to the ground, he gently placed his son on the soft grass.
"You see Gohan, when I die, I need you take my place as the king of Mount Paozu," said Goku as he and Gohan walked through the plains while a family deers passed by peacefully.
"Really?" asked Gohan.
"Yes, but Gohan, this is very important that you learn about The Circle of Life first," said Goku.
"What's The Circle of Life?" asked Gohan.
"You see Gohan, everything you see with your own eyes combine together in a fragile balance. As king, you need to learn and understand this balance and respect all the animals and nature from the bouncy flea to the mooing cow," said Goku.
"But dad, don't we eat cows?" asked Gohan.
"Yes Gohan, but when we die, our bodies transform into the grass, and the cows and all other kinds of herbivore animals eat the grass in order to gain energy to move and fight. And so you see Gohan, we are all connected in the great Circle of Life," said Goku.
As the two walked through the green, grassy plains, Krillin came flying towards them at top-speed and then landed in front of Goku.
"Good morning, old friend!" said Krillin.
"Good morning to you to, Krillin!" said Goku.
"I'm just checking in with the latest morning reports," said Krillin.
"Okay, well then, fire away," said Goku.
"Okay, well then, so far…"
While the two friends were talking, Gohan noticed a glittering blue and black butterfly that flew around Gohan's face, making his face tickle and giggle, and then sitted on top of a daisy that was a few feet away.
Gohan then happily started to run after the butterfly, but the butterfly then flew away to a really high tree branch. Gohan then tried to climb up to the tree, but fails at every attempt and falls only a few feet off the ground.
Goku then notices this, walks towards him and saids to his young son while he is trying to climb the tree," Um, may I ask what you are doing, son?"
The sound of his father's voice made Gohan fall, but only a few feet off the ground. While using one hand to rub his butt to help it heal faster and the other to point up to the butterfly, Gohan saids to his father, "I'm trying to climb this tree so I can get to that butterfly.
Goku then looked up to where his son was pointing and saw the butterfly. Goku then said to Gohan with his signature smile on his face," Don't worry, my son, I'll teach you."
Gohan, now not rubbing his butt, then said to his father. "You will? Thank you so much daddy!"
The young boy's happy behaviors made his father chuckle, remove the cap on to of his son's head, and tussle the young prince's hair.
After putting back the red cap on top of Gohan's head, Goku then said to his son, "Okay, now first you must…"
"Um, sire, are you listing?" asked Krillin while Goku was talking to Gohan.
While watching the father and his son talking happily with each other, Krillin then saids to himself with a smile on his face, "Aw, forget it; man those two."
"Yo Krillin," said a fat man that was a few feet taller than Krillin and had shoulder-length and spiky black hair.
"Oh, what is it Yajirobe?" asked Krillin.
I have some very urgent news," said the man now know as Yajirobe.
While Krillin and Yajirobe were talking, Gohan feel off the tree again, this time father than the ground, but was luckily caught by his father, Goku.
After putting his son on the soft, green grass, Goku then said to Gohan, " It's okay, Gohan; you almost had it. All you needed was-"
"SIRE-Planet Trade members-in the outskirts of the kingdom!" shouted Krillin.
"What? Why those rotten little…to think they would have learned by now! Krillin, take Gohan home now," said Goku.
"Daddy, can I come with you?" asked Gohan.
"No Gohan, this is to dangerous for a young child like you," said Goku. With that, Goku then ran off to find the "Planet Trade members".
With a low grunt, Gohan then said to himself, "Man, that dad of mine never lets me do anything fun."
"Don't worry, Gohan," said Krillin while the two walked off towards the palace,"One day when you are older or king, you can chase off those stupid, ugly, old, smelly vermin's from sunrise through sunset.
Sorry it took a while to update this; it looks like it might, just might take me a while to write, type, and update my next chapter, so please stay loyal to this story. I so sorry, but I have plans Mr. Satan to have other small rolls, so I am so sorry, please forgive me (what can I say, most of the good rolls goes to Gohan/Simba, but you will see Mr. Satan in some major fight scenes, like the battle for Pride Rock). So again, I do not own anything that says at the top, all I own in this fanfic, my future fanfics, my ideas, and my profile. Please leave nice reviews and nothing related to my grammar and spelling.
Over and out!
