Ancient History: The Forgotten Past of the Saiyans

Chapter 2: The Present, Earth Part 2

       I woke up this morning, the light of dawn greeting my eyes as they fluttered open; Chichi lying next to me in bed, still asleep snoring softly.  Her long gray-black hair draping over her shoulders.
    Getting out of bed I head to the bathroom to relieve myself.  I then turn on the shower to the desired temperature and step right in since I sleep without garments, and proceed to wash my hair.  My fingers rubbing the shampoo in has a massaging effect relaxing me, as last night's sleep was rather restless; Vegeta's aura fluctuating oddly all night.  'Why do I let myself be so affected by him?' I ask myself in my mind, with a frown on my face. 'Even in my sleep.'  I push the annoying thoughts aside, rinsing my hair. POV: Narrator     He reached for the bar of soap on the shelf in the shower stall and lathers up.   Working his way down from his shoulders, the soap slips from his hands and slides down his belly, against his previously unnoticed erection, causing a sharp gasp to escape his mouth, as it was cold.  Looking at the soap bar on the stall floor, an idea popped into his head, so he tried it.  He bent down, picked up the cold bar and pressed it against his member, drawing out another gasp.  It worked.  No more erection.  After that was dealt with, he finished lathering and rinsed.     Chichi began to stir at the sound of the shower, and the light of day peeking in the window.  Blinking the sleep out of her eyes, she laid there in a daze, until the sound of a thud came from the adjoining bathroom.  Sitting up and turning, she stepped out of the bed.  She proceeded to fix the bedding, making sure there were no wrinkles that could be seen anywhere.  After that was done, she put on her Magenta slippers that matched her PJs (she considered herself the 'proper' one and thus slept in them.) and walked down the hall to the kitchen to start breakfast.
POV: Chichi     I open the freezer, the cold air chilling my legs as it wafts over them.  My mind wanders, the cold feeling like my marriage.  "Why do I feel this way?" I whisper to myself.  "I feel like it died... It  Died... " And suddenly the words '...until death do you part.' came to mind.  In that moment she realized she had been living a lie.  Her marriage died long ago and she was too stubborn to admit it.  'Why now?' she thought.  'Why after all theses years? He is finally home to stay.  Buu's dead. Why am thinking these things?'
    Snapping back to reality and pushing the thoughts aside for later, she closed the freezer door wondering why is was open in the first place, and got out the griddle.  As the it heated up she was busily gathering all the necessities for making Goku's favorite: Banana Applesauce pancakes with strawberries on top and pools of  maple syrup.  Reaching under the counter, she grabbed a bowl and put the peeled bananas in and proceeded to mash them.  That task completed she carried the bowl over to the counter where bowl of pancake mix was resting and set it down next to the mix.  Chichi checked the temperature of the griddle and it was almost ready.
    Pouring the mashed bananas and applesauce into the pancake mix she stirred it in thoroughly.  Then she moved the bowl of mix next to the stove and spread some butter on the griddle and poured four perfectly round cakes and let them cook.  The daughter of the Ox King made a nice stack of said pancakes twenty levels high for Goku when he came in to eat.  She also made one pancake for herself, and a stack of ten for her youngest son.
    "Goku, you better not use up all the hot water again!" Chichi yelled as Goten raced into the kitchen dressed for school.     Goten smiled at his mother as she smiled at him, but something in her eyes was different.  He mentally shrugged it off and began to scarf down his meal.  "Thanks mom." He said as he gave her a quick peck on the cheek.  "Bye Dad." he yelled down the hall and charged out the front door and flew off towards school.
    On the way in mid flight, he spotted Trunks speeding by, and  decided to join him on his way.  He considered a verbal greeting but after a quick glance at his friends face, he decided against it.  There it is again, the awkward silence.  Trunks has been giving him the silent treatment.  For whatever rhyme or reason Goten had no clue. He just was glad to be in his presence.  But one thing he did notice, as of late, Trunks always flew so that his friend was never downwind.
    "Catch you later" Goten said as he walked to his Art Class and Trunks to his Engineering class.  Goten sat in the seat and prepared his colored pencils for the upcoming assignment, his previous work stack to the left on the table. "Class today we will be working on the emphasis of shadow.  Please place the objects you brought with you to draw on the table.  You have five minutes to place your pieces.  When that time has expired we will be looking at some example slides."

POV: Pan     "Mom, Dad get up!" Pan shouted.  "Today is the field trip at school! We are supposed to leave early!" Gohan and Videl groaned.  Today was Gohan's day off from teaching.  "Pan calm down.  We packed everything yesterday remember?  Your dad and I will be ready shortly." Videl said.  Today they were leaving on a class camping trip in New Hampshire, U.S.A.

POV: Narrator     Goku turned off the shower and dried himself with a clean towel.  The smell of pancakes had filled the whole house.  After hanging up the used towel he walks into the bed room, opens the closet and puts on his usual gi. Walking in the kitchen I see a pile of my favorite breakfast spread on the table, my mouth watering just looking at it.  I hear the slam of  the door as Goten departs to school.  Chichi smiles at me as I sit down and smile my trademark grin, however there is something different about her, but I will ask her later.  I have food to eat. "Goku?" "Yes, Chichi?" "There is something important I wish to discuss with you..." 'Oh great what did I do now?' Goku thought. "...but I want you to finish your food." And her smile widens a little more.  But in her eyes, that look, it's still there.
