Helloooo. I hope the last two chapters have been good. I would appreciate any reviews. Hope you enjoy this chapter. By the way I made a mistake in the last chapter. At first I said Goten's pet dragon was named Iragus and then later on in the chapter I said Igarus. The real name of the dragon is Igarus.

Remember, I do not own DBZ cause Akira Toriyama does.

Chapter 3: It's okay to be the big brother (Day 2; Saturday).


It was early Saturday morning. Everything seemed perfect; from the beautiful crystal blue sky and the wonderful singing birds. Everybody was enjoying the amazing day. Goku and Chichi were on the beach in Fiji relaxing. Vegeta and Trunks were training outside while Bulma watched. Krillin, #18, Marron, Master Roshi, Oolong, Yamcha, Puar, Tien, and Chiaotzu were all spending the day at the park having a picnic. Even Piccolo was having fun on the Lookout with Dende and Mr. Popo as they watched the different butterflies fly by. Well maybe not everyone was enjoying the day. Certainly not Gohan and Goten.

Gohan woke up that day at 11:30, incredibly late for a saiyan. He started to get out of bed when a wave of nausea took over him.

"Ugggh. I feel like I want to throw up. My head and throat hurt like crazy. I just want to go back to sleep but, I'm the older brother so I have to take care of my brother."

Gohan walked over to his brother and went to wake him up but, when he touched him he was burning hot.

Gohan sighed, which turned into a big coughing fit. "Goten too. Great the both of us are sick but, of course since I'm the older one I have to take care of him. Sometimes I wish I was the youngest."

Gohan didn't really know what to do since he'd never been sick before. Saiyans don't get sick. He picked up Goten and brought him downstairs since everything he needed was already downstairs. He was just going to do what his dad did, whenever mom was sick. Truthfully over the past 7 years his mom was never sick except when she was pregnant with Goten, and that was just morning sickness.

"If Vegeta knew me and Goten were sick he'd call us pathetic and say we were a disgrace to the saiyan race."

Gohan put Goten on the couch and placed a blanket on him. He then grabbed a bowl of water, two towels, and a thermometer. He wet one of the towels and put it on Goten's forehead. The only other thing he knew that he needed to do besides using the thermometer to check the temperature was to make soup.

When Gohan got into the kitchen he started to make the soup. By making the soup Gohan grabbed a can and placed the contents of it into a pot on the stove. Once Gohan finished making the soup he was quite proud of himself.

"I did a pretty good job on this soup. Why if it was dad making the soup he probably wouldn't have know how to open the can."

Gohan brought the two bowls of soup over to the couch and turned on the t.v. He turned to some random channel which happened to be showing the movie Toy Story (I do not own this) which is one of Goten's favorite movies.

Gohan proceeded to wake up Goten by putting a bowl of soup in front of his face. Any saiyan wakes up once they smell food.

"I smell food. Where is it," asked Goten in a raspy voice.

"It's right here squirt." said Gohan in an equally raspy voice as he handed the bowl to Goten.

As Goten was eating he looked over at Gohan, "Gohan my head and throat hurt. My stomach feels all queasy. Make it all go away so I can go play with Igarus."

"Sorry squirt but, I can't just make it go away," said Gohan. "This is what you get for playing out in the rain."

"But I want it to….." Before Goten could finish his sentence he erupted in a violent coughing fit.

While that was happening Gohan was thinking to himself. "All this noise Goten's making is making my headache worse. I got to get him to stop."

Once Goten was done coughing, Gohan took this time to speak. "You shouldn't talk so much. You'll feel better once you rest. Once you're better you can play with Igarus."

"Ok. I'll be quiet now," said Goten.

"This is great. Peace and quiet. I should have told Goten sooner about being quiet so he could go and play with Igarus. You are a genius Gohan.

After the both of them had finished eating Goten became immersed in the movie. Gohan was tired from everything he had done so he decided to take a nap. He hoped that when he woke up he'd feel better.


(Gohan; Dream Sequence)

Gohan was walking up to Videl's house for their first date. He was wearing a fancy tuxedo and had brought lilies, one of Videl's favorite flowers.

"Hey Videl. Ready for our dateeee."

When Gohan saw Videl dressed in a stunning red dress he was at a lost for words.

"Man she looks sexy and hot." thought Gohan.
"You like what you're seeing Gohan," said a sexy Videl.

Gohan just continued to stare at her and was only able to utter one word "Yah."

Gohan and Videl flew to the restaurant where they were having dinner for the night. They'd just finished ordering dinner which for Gohan was every item on the menu and for Videl it was steak.

A sexy looking Videl started to talk to Gohan. "So Gohan, since you like what you're seeing, how bout you come over to my house and we'll spend some time together in my room."

At first Gohan didn't know what Videl meant but, he finally got it.

A smirking Gohan looked at Videl and said, "I'd love to Videl."

All of a sudden Gohan and Videl heard what sounded to be puking coming from the table next to them and turned their heads to look at what was going on. When he turned his head back to look at her, he was met with his living room.


Gohan opened his eyes and was met with the t.v. showing Toy Story 3 (Don't own this either).

"Uggggh, just great. I still feel awful and my dream ended before I got to do it with Videl."

Gohan then heard what sounded like to be puking coming from the bathroom. Gohan knew immediately that it was Goten, so he rushed to the bathroom.

"Oh my God. This is so disgusting," thought Gohan.

Gohan leaned next to Goten and started to run his back to make him feel better. After a couple of minutes Goten stopped puking. Gohan helped Goten get up and wash his mouth.

"You feeling better squirt," asked a concerned Gohan.

"Kinda. Everything still hurts. Don't you think we should call mom and dad and tell them what's going on." asked Goten.

Gohan honestly didn't know the answer to that question.

"If we call them, they'll definitely come rushing back here and it'll ruin their vacation. They deserve it. Mom's always taking care of us and dad just saved the entire universe. If we don't call them, it'll just make things harder for myself and mom and dad might get angry at us for not calling them," pondered Gohan.

Gohan had come up with his answer and turned towards Goten to share it with him. "I think we shouldn't call them. They deserve this vacation and we can take care of ourselves."

"If you say so Gohan. Mom and dad are going to be mad that we didn't tell them," said Goten.

"Relax Goten," said a forsure Gohan. "They'll be thanking us for not disturbing their vacation."

Gohan went to open the medicine cabinet to find something to numb the pain when a huge amount of dust came out of the cabinet. It was expected since the last time the cabinet had been used was seven years ago when Goku had the heart virus.

Thanks to the dust Gohan and Goten went into a coughing fit.

"Stupid dust. Mom should have cleaned this," thought Gohan.

Once the dust had cleared Gohan grabbed the medicine and the both of them went back to the living room so Gohan could give himself and Goten the medicine.

"This is not going to be fun," thought Gohan.

"Now Goten, I need you to take this medicine," said Gohan. "It's only one cap-full."

"No way am I taking that disgusting thing," screamed Goten.

"How do you know it tastes bad. You've never had to taste it before," questioned Gohan.

"I don't know what it tastes like but, I know it's cherry flavored and I hate cherries," exclaimed Goten.

"I'm getting real tired of this. He better take this medicine soon or else." thought an angry Gohan.

"Listen Goten. If you don't take this medicine then I won't allow you to play with Igarus when you're better," said Gohan.

Once Goten heard this, he snatched the medicine from Gohan's hand and chucked it down in one gulp.

As Gohan was taking his cup-full of medicine he couldn't help but laugh. "Man. Goten will do anything to play with that dinosaur. It reminds me of how I was with Icarus. I'd always beg mom to let me play with him and I'd even sneak out to see him when she forbid me from seeing him."

A great idea popped into Gohan's head.

"You want to play Monopoly squirt," asked Gohan.

"Sure. I'll beat you," said Goten.

"Yah," said Gohan. "Yah right. There's no way I'll lose to a 7 year old," thought Gohan.

After five games of Monopoly the score was 5-0 for Goten.

"How did I lose to a 7 year old kid. How could I lose to my brother who's as dense if not denser than dad," thought a puzzled Gohan.

"Want to play again," asked Goten.

"No thanks," said Gohan. Gohan loved to play Monopoly but, he was too embarrassed from losing to Goten to play any more rounds."

It was already 8pm and they hadn't had dinner so Gohan went and made some more soup while Goten watched Mutant Ninja Turtles (don't own). When they'd finished the soup that Gohan almost burned they decided to go to bed. They were too tired to walk all the way upstairs so they just stayed on the couch.

Before Goten drifted off to sleep he had one very important thing he wanted to tell his brother. "Gohan you're the best big brother anyone could have," said Goten. Thanks for everything you've done for me."

Gohan couldn't have looked any happier when he heard Goten say those words. "You're the best little brother anyone could have," said Gohan.

"Maybe being a big brother, isn't as bad as I thought it was," thought Gohan. With those thoughts Gohan drifted off to sleep.


That chapter was really long. I hope you enjoyed it. Please review the story if you can. Hope you read the next chapter which should be up soon.
