Age 761 September, Outside Goku’s house

  It was a sunny and partly cloudy day, and Gohan was sitting under the shade of a tree drinking some lemonade his mom had made, as he had just finished his homework for the day and was watching his mother and father; Chi-Chi and Goku spar with fascination.

  Although, he really couldn’t keep up with them as they threw punches and kicks at breathtaking speeds, he still was in awe at what he could see. They had started to spar from time to time because Chi-Chi wanted to get back to fighting form after she was knocked out and he was kidnapped by Garlic Jr., and his men. Gohan wonder if he could be as strong as his dad one day, they had been sparring for about an hour now without stopping.

  Chi-Chi finally couldn’t keep up anymore she had gotten out of shape after having Gohan and doing nothing but taking care of the house, and them, “pant... Goku…pant… I can’t go on anymore…I need a break.” Chi-Chi said as she had her hands on her knees as she panted heavily.

  “Ok Chi-Chi that’s fine” Goku, said as Gohan walked over to them with some fresh lemonade his mom had made and handed it to them, after they finished the lemonade.

  “Mommy…Daddy.” Gohan said as he decided to speak up about what has been on his mind for a while now.

  “Yeah, Gohan what is it.” “Are you hungry sweetie?” Goku and Chi-Chi asked,

  “Not right now mommy.” Gohan replied Gohan shaking his head.

  “Ok what is it then?” They asked looking at him.

  Gohan hesitated a bit while keeping his head down, “I want daddy… to teach me how to fight.” Gohan mumbled.

  “What was that son I couldn’t hear you?” Goku, said crouching down to see him.

  “Gohan dear you must speak up if you want to be heard ok son. You also need to keep your head up when talking to someone.” Chi-Chi said looking at Gohan

  “I WANT DADDY TO TEACH ME TO FIGHT!” Gohan shouted loud enough for some birds in the nearby trees to fly off, in fright.

  “Oh, … I don’t know son you mom doesn’t want me to teach you.” Goku looked at Chi-Chi knowing how she felt about Gohan learning martial arts. Goku had talked to her about it before, he wanted to take Gohan to Master Roshi as soon as he was able to walk because he loved to fight, and he wanted to connect with his son in a different way besides trying to help with his homework.

  Goku couldn’t make heads or tails of the homework Chi-Chi made him do, he knew some basic stuff from when Master Roshi taught him when he was younger but that was all and that didn’t stick. However, Chi-Chi had firmly said no, that she didn’t want Gohan picking up any of that Old Perverts nasty habits and that he had to focus on his studies and Goku knew enough not to bring it up again unless he wanted to anger her.

  Chi-Chi had wanted to say no right away but she stopped when she remembered how he was kidnapped by Garlic Jr. and how things may have been different if he could at least defend himself. “I’ll think about it ok baby, now let me go get started on dinner ok.”

  “Ok Mommy.” Gohan smiled at his mom and dad happy that his mom didn’t say no like st time.

  “Goku honey could you and Gohan go get a couple of fishes for dinner please.” Chi-Chi said she seemed to be thinking about something.

  “Ok Chi-Chi you got it.” Goku kissed his wife on the forehead. “Let’s go, Gohan I’ll take to where I used to fish when I was a boy.” Goku said happily.

  Gohan looked at his dad with a big smile, “Ok Daddy.” Goku had picked Gohan up and put him up on his shoulders while Gohan ughed

  “Goku you two be careful ok.” Chi-Chi said with a stern voice as she waved at her two boys from the door of their house.

  “You got it Chi-Chi.” Goku said as he and Gohan started walking into the forest.

  Goku and Gohan headed towards the ke where Goku used to fish for food when he lived alone in the forest. “Ok Gohan I’m going to need to borrow your tail for a while when we get to the ke ok son.” Goku said as he pced Gohan down and held his hand.

  “My… t…t…tail daddy…why?” Gohan said as he moved his tail to hold it in his hands, as he was a little scared when his dad told him that.

  “Don’t worry son I’m going to teach you how I used to fish when I had a tail.” Goku said as he kneeled in front of Gohan smiling at him.

  “You used to have a tail daddy what happened to it?” Gohan said letting go of his tail, as he brightened up when he heard his dad talk about when he was younger, he didn’t really talk much about it.

  “Kami got rid of it for me when I was a kid.” Goku said looking up into the bright blue sky with a smile.

  “Who’s Kami daddy?” Gohan asked looking up at his dad.

  “He’s the guardian of the Earth Gohan, he’s the green man who helped us fight Garlic Jr.” Goku said, looking down at Gohan. “Don’t you remember?”

  “Not… really dad I don’t remember much after eating that apple.” Gohan said looking at Goku. “Is Kami stronger than you?”

  “Oh…, I don’t think so at least not anymore.” Goku said ughing

  “Wow daddy that’s cool so you really are the strongest. No one can beat my daddy.” Gohan ughed.

  “Oh, I don’t know son, Piccolo is out there, and he could give me a run for my money.” Goku said looking back up into the sky.

  “Wow daddy there’s someone as strong as you are out there.” Gohan asked amazed.

  “Yeah, son he is very strong, I wouldn’t mind fighting him again.” Goku said with a smile on his face while thinking of fighting Piccolo again. They had arrived at the ke while they were talking, “Ok son lets teach you how to fish using your tail ok.” Gohan had gotten nervous again he had forgotten about what his dad wanted him to do.

  “Daddy I’m scared what if a fish eats me.” Gohan said as he looked at the water nervously.

  Goku looked at his son and told him “You have to be brave Gohan if you want to learn martial arts ok.”

  Gohan looked at his dad for a while and thought to himself I want to be brave like daddy. “Ok…d…daddy.”

  --

  Gohan had his tail in the water while Goku crouched next to him, holding on to him for the fourth time today he was scared at first, but he had gotten used to fishing with his tail especially since he knew his dad would protect him.

  Gohan knew he had nothing to be afraid of as he felt the fourth fish nibble on his tail his dad pulled him up with the fish flying in the air and knocked the fish down with the others. “Ok Gohan I think that should be enough how about we take these home to mom so that she can cook them up.”

  “Ok daddy.” Gohan said with a smile as he helped Goku bring the fish back home.

  After returning home Chi-Chi cooked the fishes and they had a nice family dinner and finished before it got dark. After Gohan had brushed his teeth and gone to bed Chi-Chi told decided to tell Goku her decision, “Goku”

  “Yeah Chi-Chi?” Goku asked as looking at her

  “I want you to promise me two things.” Chi-Chi said looking into Goku’s eyes.

  “Yeah Chi-Chi.” Goku said looking at her.

  “One Gohan must finish his homework first because I want him to have a bright future and be prepared, and two don’t push Gohan to much ok… he’s still just a baby.” Chi-Chi said as she continued to look into Goku’s eyes.

  “What do you mean Chi-Chi?” Goku asked confused

  “Yes Goku, you can train him.” Chi-Chi said.

  ____

  (AN: There is no official month for when the Dead Zone takes pce so I decided that happened a month before the start of the story that way Chi-Chi decides to start training because having her son takin away while she couldn’t do anything is still fresh in her mind. Which will make Chi-Chi decide that it will be better for Gohan and her to learn from Goku because she knows that she is rusty, and she doesn’t want to deal with Master Roshi’s nasty habits. That way when Raditz shows up Gohan and Chi-Chi have learned a few things but have not been training enough for them to make much of a difference to the overall story. I don’t have any pns on make Chi-Chi a main fighter like the other Z Warriors, I’ll probably just have her act in the background I don’t know yet.)
