Hello everyone! I know it took me a little while to update but I got busy, and then I was watching some DBZ on youtube and totally remembered that I had written half this chapter so here is the rest of it. Thanks to Rohan777 for your review, and YES YOU ARE NOT ALONE, DBZ SHOULD HAVE ENDED THE SERIES. I saw the end of DBGT and gagged, everyone had a talking part but Gohan. At least no one really cared that Gokuu left, at that point they were use to it.
Anyway~ Last time on The Wish:
It had been exactly three years since his father had died from the Cell Games. Three years without his hero.
Today, Gohan was not taking this fact so well.
And than it hit Gohan, he wasn't sure why he hadn't thought about it before. Without saying a word Gohan stood up.
"Gohan?" Chi-chi looked up at her son, they were having such a nice talk and it worried her how serious Gohan became now. Gohan walked out of kitchen and into the living room, Chi-chi followed behind, "Gohan, what's wrong?"
Gathering the Dragonballs was almost a tradition in the Son home, after the year had passed for the Dragonballs to appear on the scooter, Gohan had collected three of them, the two star ball, four star ball, and the seven star ball.
"I don't know why I didn't think of it before," Gohan grabbed the balls and turned around to his mom, "Let's make a wish to see Dad!"
The Wish - Part 2
- Son Akito
Gohan wasn't sure how he was going to do it, but he was going to see his father again. To do this, he knew he needed the Dragonballs.
Gohan glanced over to the shelf, where a picture of his father and him right before the Cell Games hung, and right beside them were the three Dragonballs he already had. he grabbed the Dragonballs and placed them in a bag, He smiled down at them I'm doing this for you, Dad.
First thing was first, he had to get the Dragonball radar from Bulma, he started walking out the door when a tug came from his leg, Gohan looked down to see his brother Goten.
"Go Big Brother?" He looked at Gohan with small wide eyes.
Gohan smiled, placing his hand on his brother's head, "I'll be back soon, I am going to Truck-kun's house."
"Oh, I wanna see Trunks." Goten smiled, jumping up and down, "Trunks! Trunks!"
Gohan could not say no to that excitement, as he picked up his little brother, "Mom," Gohan yelled out as his brother wrapped his little hands around his neck.
Chi-chi appeared, smiling up at her two loving sons, "Yes Gohan-chan?"
"Mom," Gohan tilted his head, "I'm fourteen, please stop with the 'Gohan-chan.'"
Chi-chi rolled her eyes, walking up to her son, "You'll always be my little boy."
"At least say Gohan-kun, or something," Gohan sighed looked at his brother, "You don't ever say Goten-chan and he's younger than me."
Chi-chi laughed, placing her hand on Goten's head, "I guess you're right, alright Gohan, why did you call me?"
"Do you mind if I take Goten to Bulma-san's?"
"Why are you going to Bulma's?"
Gohan looked over to the Dragonballs, Chi-chi followed his gaze, "You're really going to summon the Dragon?"
Gohan looked at his mother, nodded his head sharply. Chi-chi smiled, with the determined look in his eyes there was no way in stopping Gohan from what he wanted.
"Alright, please be back by dinner. See if Bulma will watch Goten for you, I don't want him to get into any trouble."
Gohan nodded, glancing down at his brother in his arms, "Want to take Nimbus?"
"Yes!" Goten smiled as he crawled down his brother's arms and grabbed his hand, "Let's go!"
Gohan laughed, being dragged away by his little brother, "Bye mom!"
"I love you Goten, I love you Gohan-chan!" Chi-chi laughed, waving goodbye to her boys.
Gohan sighed, he had to break that habit while he was still somewhat young. He looked up towards the sky, "Nimbus!"
Goten squeaked as flying Nimbus flew down beside them. Gohan lifted Goten up and softly tossed him into the cloud. The cloud gently bounced Goten, he begin to giggle. Gohan followed, softly jumping onto the Nimbus cloud, "Alright Nimbus, let's go." Gohan placed Goten in his lap, and in one quick motion they were off.
"So are you looking for the Dragonballs again?" Bulma handed Gohan the radar.
The young saiyan looked down at it, "Thanks Bulma-san, and yes I want to get a wish granted by the Dragon."
"A wish?" Bulma asked, sitting down at the table, Gohan followed suit, "What's your wish?"
Gohan looked down at the radar, he wasn't sure how it would sound to tell Bulma his wish, "My wish," he took a deep breath, looking up at his father's long time friend, "Is to see Dad."
Bulma eyes widen, "Gokuu?" She whispered. She wasn't sure how to respond.
"That is an absorbed wish," Gohan turned around to see Vegeta walking into the room. He looked down at the young half-breed before him, "If Karakot wanted to be here he would returned."
Gohan frowned, standing up. Bulma eye widen, knowing that Vegeta would say something hurtful she stood up and walked over to Vegeta's side.
"Dad didn't come back to protect the Earth," Gohan's eyes were locked on Vegeta.
Vegeta rolled his eyes, "If you think that was the reason you're just as big as an idiot as he is."
"Vegeta stop," Bulma grabbed Vegeta's arm, he looked down at their arms before pulling his own arm away.
Gohan wanted to say something, he wanted to stand up for his father but at that moment words were lost to him. He looked down at the radar. Vegeta rolled his eyes one more time and walked off. Bulma watched him walked away, and turned her attention back to Gohan. She walked over to him and placed her arm around him.
"He's just pissed because they never got their re-match."
Gohan laughed sadly, looking up at Bulma, a part of Gohan believed that Vegeta was right. What if his father was too ashamed of him to see him? It was becasuse of his foolish acts during the Cells Games that caused his father to die in the first place. It was a pain in his heart that he would always carry.
There was a moment of slience between Gohan and Bulma, both of them lost for words. Bulma had known Gokuu the longest, when Gohan was of his flesh and blood; these two were connected to Gokuu like no other.
Bulma smiled, knowing she needed to cheer the oldest son of Gokuu up, she took her arm that was around him and embraced the half breed in a hug, "Your father will be so proud, I hope your wish can be granted. Make sure to say hi to him for me."
Gohan laughed, putting his arms around Bulma, "Will do."
Gohan took off into the sky, leaving his little brother at Bulma he was free to search for the Dragonballs. Turning on the scooter, Gohan was able to see himself holding three Dragonballs, as the other four was scattered around the Earth. Deciding to find the one star Dragonball first, he zoomed into it's location: Master Roshi's Island. Gohan smiled, this one was going to be an easy find. Hopefully the remaining three would be the same. Gohan looked towards the ocean and began to fly.
"Gohan, you're huge!" Before Gohan was able to land onto the island Krillin ran out to his friend. Gohan smiled, having grown almost a full foot over Krillin walked over to Krillin and wrapped his arm around him.
"It's nice to see you, Krillin-san," Gohan never had a chance to visit with his old friend; it was good to see him again.
"How's that mom of yours," Krillin laughed, "I'm surprised she is letting you be away from your studies. What's going on man?"
Gohan parted from his friend, he took out the Dragonball radar, "I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind me taking your Dragonball, it says that it's here."
Krillin laughed, "That's actually a funny story, come on inside I have something I need to show you."
Gohan looked at Krillin questionably as he followed him inside, "Something you have to show me? What is it Krillin-san?"
As Krillin opened the door, he yelled, "Look who came by, 18. It's Gohan."
Gohan walked in, he looked over to see Number 18 sitting on the couch, pregnant. Gohan's eyes widen in disbelief.
Krillin looked up at his friend with a huge smile on his face, "Yep, I knocked her up."
"Krillin, please." Number 18 stood up, walking past Gohan and out the door.
Gohan didn't keep his eyes off her as she walked out passed him. He didn't know what to say, Number 18 pregnant with Krillin's child?! This is something he couldn't wait to tell his father.
"How? When?" Gohan glanced over at child.
Krillin laughed, "I think you're old enough to know about the birds and the bees Gohan."
"Well, mom made me read about intercourse for a science report last year, so I know how children are made."
Krillin sighed, mumbling "There is no hope for you if you are calling sex 'intercourse' kid."
Gohan blinked, not understanding what Krillin meant, he glanced down at the Dragonball radar, "So Krillin-san, you said you had the Dragonball?"
Krillin eyes widen as he walked over to the entertainment center, on a shelf above the television was the first star Dragonball. He walked over to Gohan, holding out the Dragonball, "Two years ago Roshi was walking around on the island when he stubbed his toe on the Dragonball. All my life I have been looking for these things and I can't believe one fell on this little island. It's amazing. So, we've just kept it up there. Is there a reason you are collecting the Dragonballs?"
"Yes," Gohan reached out and grabbed the Dragonball, putting it in a bag with the others, "I want to see if there is a way to see father again."
"Gokuu?" Krillin looked up at Gohan questionably. This worried Gohan, if Krillin was worried about his wish it would question his idea to do this all together.
Krillin sat down on the couch, glancing at the ground. Gohan followed suit, sitting down next to Krillin. Gohan waited for Krillin to speak.
"We all want to see your dad, Gohan," Krillin looked over at Gohan, "I don't know if this wish is something the Dragon would grant. Gokuu decided to stay dead; I don't think his mind is going to be change about that."
Gohan glanced down at the ground, "I'm not going to wish him back alive Krillin-san, I just—I need to see him."
"Why?"
Gohan slightly shrugged as Krillin dropped his hand from Gohan's shoulder. The young man didn't know how to answer this question.
"Is this about the Cell Games?"
Gohan didn't answer Krillin, but just the mention of the Cell Games was hard to bare. In Gohan's mind he was reliving the whole ordeal in front of Krillin. He could remember the look on his friend's face when one of the Cell Jrs jumped on top of Krillin. That whole day was filled with his mistakes. He could have helped Krillin but he was stuck in fear. He could have helped everyone that day but his fear and rage clouded his judgment like it always had when his feeling surfaced on the battlefield.
Krillin felt the dramatic change in their conversation. Gohan's hands had gripped his knees, and his eyes were clouded with a flashback that Krillin had experienced with Gohan many times in all the years he had known him. This young saiyan was filled with more pain then his own childhood had faced. Gokuu and Krillin had each other growing up, they were training partners, and they were best friends. They choose the life they had. Gohan on the other hand, had always been a child that was forced to a life that caused him to grow up way too quickly. Even though Gohan would always have himself and Piccolo, Gohan has no one his own age that went through the same things he had like Krillin had with Gokuu. This life was not the path that Gohan would had followed if he had the choice and Krillin knew this.
Krillin was never good with serious situations, he leaned over so he was in front of Gohan's eye sight. Once Gohan and noticed Krillin looking up at him, Gohan blinked the memories away. He had realized that he was gripping his knees and quickly let go. He gave Krillin with a small embarrassed smile.
"Did I tell you I'm having a girl?" Krillin leaned back into the couch, flopping into the pillows behind him.
Gohan smiled, his thoughts still spinning in the past, "That's great Krillin-san, congratulations."
Gohan had spent a little more time with Krillin and Number 18 talking about the new baby. He was happy that Krillin was able to find someone to be with and to start a family. Gohan knew that Krillin had always wanted to find love, and Krillin deserves love. Gohan couldn't be happier.
He glanced down at the four Dragonballs before looking up at the radar. The remaining three were spread across the world, and with his speed Gohan would be able to find the rest of them rather quickly. Gohan eyes' glanced into the horizon. He wasn't sure if his wish would work, but the young saiyan knew that he wouldn't be able to move on unless he tried.
