Chapter 5: Lost

Gohan's P.O.V

"So Gohan, what's up with the girl?" Krillin asks while we searched for an empty wasteland to train.

"I only just met her a little while ago, she was unconscious in the woods." I explain.

"Well whatever the case, she's pretty cute for someone your age. Gohan, you ever thought of going after her?" Krillin snickers.

"No, why would you want me to do that?" I ask confused over what he was suggesting.

"You know Gohan, your just like Goku when he was younger, clueless about women.." He sighed heavily.

I stared straight ahead thinking about Krillin's opinion. I never really thought about girls, i'm more interested in training with my friends and studying to become a great scholar. I'm gonna have to stay focus on those things and not worry about chasing after girls.

Tania's P.O.V

They're gone now.. I need to find my way out of this place. But how? I don't even know which route to take! That's just great, how am I gonna make it back home before it gets all dark? I don't wanna ask Chi-Chi if I can stay the night, that'll be unnecessary. I'm just gonna take a little walk and think this over thoroughly.

I did exactly that and adventured off into the woods. Blue jays were chirping while monkeys hanged down from branches. I watched as squirrels chased each other around like they were playing tag. Everything seemed so beautiful here. I live in the city so i've never really was a nature-type person until now! A couple of hours passed and I figured the best thing to do was start heading back before it gets dark.

"Okay um, I think I took that path. Wait no, it was that one? Or was it? Oh no, this is bad I think i'm lost. Everything looks the same!"

Realizing I went to far and got myself lost out here all alone, I decided to take my brother's advice about building a small shelter for me to live in case if I ever gotten lost.

First I needed to find a place for me to set things up. It only took a couple of minutes and I managed to find a barren waste field. So that's where i'll build my tiny shelter at. Gathering the supplies was very easy thanks to Shininchi teaching me when I was younger. Thankfully, I didn't need to use up all my energy working on this thing. It only took me about a few hours to complete this anyways. Managing to find some firewood was pretty easy too.

"Now that I have a fire keeping me warm and the full moon to look at, I couldn't ask for anything better! " I say filled with satisfaction.

I continued to stare at the shining moon, thinking if anyone noticed I was missing. They probably think I went home, but if you think about it, how am I suppose to get back home? I explained to Gohan that I didn't even know where on earth I was. I feel so stupid for taking a walk at an area I know nothing about...

Closing my eyes, I relaxed on the green grass and heavily inhale and exhaled. Seconds later, I reopen my eyes to see a animal standing above me. It was very tall though to be a normal animal, and I couldn't really tell what it was, so I rubbed my eyes and completely FREAKED out at what I was really seeing.

"A Di-Di-Dinosaur?!" I scream out facing the ferocious creatures mouth. Immediately I ditched all my things and ran for my life. Why is there dinosaurs here? I thought they were extinct a LONG time ago! The hungry Tyrannosaurus was catching up to me pretty fast. It's long legs was running faster than a cheetah! I picked up my speed the more I got frightened and surprisingly I still had a lot of stamina. Unfortunately, I tripped on a rock and fell to my knees. Looking behind me I watched as the gigantic T-Rex easily caught up and prepared itself to eat me alive.

When it seemed that my life came to a tragic end, someone had swiftly kicked the creature hard to the ground with amazing speed. I watched as a boy with a purple gi descended to the ground.

Gohan! No it's not him, this guy got golden hair and green eyes.

"Are you alright Tania?" The stranger asks as he helped me up.

"Yes, but how do you know my name?"

"It's me Gohan." He claimed.

"Gohan?"

He nodded his head as I just looked at him wondering what happened to his black hair and eyes.

"I don't know who you're trying to fool but you are not Gohan! He has black hair and eyes." I point out.

He looked confused but then gave me a goofy smile before reverting his hair color and eyes back to what they used to be. It was Gohan!

"Gohan, it is you! Thanks for saving my life." I awknowledged pretty shocked about him being able to change his eye color and hair like he did.

"Your welcome." He replies happily. I couldn't help but release a smile onto my face, knowing that he attacked that flesh-eating dinosaur.

"Lets go.." He trails off.

"Where to?" I ask. He then tells me that I was welcomed to stay at his house since I didn't have anywhere to go. I only accepted because after nearly being eaten alive by that dinosaur, I guarantee that it'll happen again.

"Climb on my back and hold on as tight as you can" He demanded kneeling. I hesitated but decided to do what he told me if I wanted to get a good nights sleep. When I held onto his shoulders it felt as if I was holding onto steel! Once on, he flown in the sky at a very quick pace. Not trying to scream I unknowingly held onto him even tighter, wrapping my arms around his chest and resting my head onto his back.

Within a minute or two, we were already at his house.

"We're here!" Gohan said turning to look at me. I open my eyes and jumped off his back, grinning that it was all over. I glanced at Gohan who was a little red. What's with him?

"Gohan! Tania! Where did you two wander off to? You left me worried!" Chi-Chi yelled at the two of us.

"Sorry." Gohan and I apologized.

"Dinner is ready, would you like to join us, Tania?"

"Sure!" I accept excited to have some food into my stomach.

We were all settled in eating the lovely meal Gohan's mother made for us. Gohan was stuffing his mouth with rice and other food that was set on the table. I laughed at how much of a pig he was being.

"This food is lovely Chi-Chi." I compliment her, taking another bowl of rice.

"Your welcome, you're such a nice girl. You remind me of myself when I was your age." She says smiling.

After dinner was over I had taken a shower and was offered some pajamas Chi-Chi gave over to me as well as my own bedroom I could rest in. I flopped onto the queen sized bed staring at the ceiling. All of this happened in just one single day! I needed to get some sleep. Unfortunately, there was a knock on my door. I sighed.

"Come in." I answer very tired.

"Hey." The person greets.

"Gohan?"
