Yes, I'm still alive. And I haven't forgotten about my stories either! Darn you lack of inspiration... 'Sigh' I liked it much better when I was updating this every two days. Good times, good times... Alright, enough random jabbering! This one is for Chichi & Gohan! Oh yes, and many thankies to KidGoku13 for the idea. ;)

Disclaimer: If I study as hard as Gohan, can I have DBZ?

Four year old Gohan stared out his bedroom window one morning, admiring the lush trees, and the lively little birds playing outside. A big smile was painted across his little face, his black eyes glittering at the wonderful sight.

"I wanna play too." he chirped. What child his age wouldn't want to join in the fun?

"Gohan!" a voice called. "Gohan!" It was getting closer.

The boy turned his attention to the door, and watched it open.

"Gohan!" spoke the voice again while entering the room. It was Chichi.

"Hey, mother." Gohan greeted.

"You didn't even tell me what you thought of breakfast this morning, and just rushed off!"

Gohan giggled. "I did, huh? It was really good."

"I'm glad to hear it." Chichi said. "Have you started your homework yet?"

"No...I haven't..." Gohan answered, looking out his window again, his mind set on playing outside.

"Would you like me to get you something to drink while you get started?" Chichi offered, also hinting at an order at the same time.

Turning his head from the window, Gohan looked to the ground nervously. Then taking a big gulp, he answered, "I...I..."

"What is it?" Chichi cocked her head.

Gohan balled his fists, then looked to her confidently. "I don't wanna do homework!"

Chichi froze in place, and an awkward and deafening silence filled the room for a long moment. "...You...you what?"

"I wanna play outside!" Gohan said again. "...Er, if that's all right with you...?" His new backbone was short lived.

Chichi tried to speak, but barely any words came out. "Eh...da...yo... W-well... You ain't gonna until your homework is finished!" she fought back.

Gohan cowered slightly, then snapped right back. "No!"

His mother was speechless, she didn't know what to do or say at this point; her own son had never talked to her like this before!

"What's goin' on? I heard yellin' in here!"

All eyes turned to the door, it was Goku.

"Gohan ain't listenin'!" Chichi said, then rushed out the room as she burst into tears. As strong and stubborn as she was, she was still fairly new at all this, a young mother.

After she ran out, Goku turned to Gohan. "What happened here?"

Gohan reluctantly explained.

--

Chichi hummed a soft tune while scrubbing the dishes used with breakfast, calming herself of the recent event. Gohan came out from his room and stood behind her, with a saddened look as he stared at the ground.

"Mother..." he said, his voice showing remorse.

His mother turned around to face him. "What is it, Gohan?"

"I'm sorry I yelled at you, and made you cry..." he held up a book. "I did my homework."

"I see." Chichi said.

Gohan waited for a smile to appear on her face, it never did.

"Are you still mad at me?" he asked, his eyes becoming teary.

"Gohan," Chichi said. "I was never mad at you. But you did make me very sad."

"That's what father said." Gohan replied.

"He did?" Chichi said.

Gohan nodded. "Yeah, said even though he doesn't know or understand why, for some reason, it makes you happy when I study."

"Goku-sa..." Chichi whispered with a chuckle.

"He also told me to apologize and give you this." Upon saying it, he reached up to wrap his tiny arms around her waist, then rested his face up against her. Chichi finally showed a smile, bending down to scoop him up in her arms, then hugged him very tightly.

"Where did your daddy go?" Chichi wondered why she hadn't seen Goku yet.

"He went back out to train."

"Figures..." she muttered.

"Do you feel better now?" Gohan asked with a smile.

"Yes, I do. Thank you Gohan-chan."

"I'm glad." the sweet little boy replied.

"Me too... Now go finish the rest of your homework."

"Aww..." Gohan's smile instantly vanished as he sulked back to his room for more studying.

And there you have it! Drabble number... What number was it again? Meh... Let me know whatchya think!
