I arrived inside Yamcha's cottage and I looked round. I could sense Alethea near by. "Alethea?" I called out.

I then heard her scream.

"ALETHEA!" I exclaimed. She was in danger, Bardock so far was spot on with his warnings. That was probably the point to scare me in to warning my father.

I looked out the window and I saw Seventeen holding Alethea up by her hair she was holding her head and Seventeen yanked her back and she let out another cry.

"Oh Leona I know you're in there. Come on out. It's time to play."

I swallowed and ran through the house looking for a weapon of sorts anything Yamcha might of used or kept around, I rummaged through t he drawers and pulled out a kitchen knife I frowned and threw it to the side- too cliché. I went from the kitchen to the boxes in the hallway and I pulled out a chainsaw - too horror flick. It was then I found the keys to Yamcha's jeep and I looked out the window to see Seventeen still there. I slipped out the back way to Yamcha's jeep and I opened the boot and blinked as I saw sitting in the base of the boot a double sided battle axe, I picked it up and spun it round in my hands and looked to the corner of the house. I closed the boot and held the battle axe's blade down by my leg as I looked round the corner of the house at Seventeen sanding there. How he'd found Alethea was beyond me but all that mattered was getting her to safety.

I placed two fingers to my forehead and concentrated on Alethea's powers and instant transmissioned right behind her and I swung the axe at Seventeen he moved out of the way and he threw Alethea to the side and he smiled at me.

"Now now that's not fair, I'm not armed and you go to attack me like that."

I swallowed and I swung at him with the axe again and he put his arm up in a block, the blade hit his arm and it then chipped and I blinked his other hand shot out and grabbed the axe and threw it to the side. The arm he blocked with grabbed me by the arm suddenly.

"Mom!" I heard Alethea shout out.

"Get out of here! Get to safety!" I shouted at her.

Alethea looked at me and she turned round and she ran powered up and flew away as fast as she could. I swore when I'd get out of the mess I'd find her again finish our training together but for now- I had to concentrate on surviving.

Seventeen spun me to look at him and I looked at him directly in the eyes.

"You know I missed our little games of cat and mouse. This is why I came here, now that you've come back I realised I could have the fun we used to. You see blondie he's gotten too serious when he fought us, you I like you. You have wit. I like that you symbolise all that is life and so I'm going to let you live so we can do this again sometime." He spoke so calmly it frightened me.

I pulled at my arm and he let it go and I fell to the ground. Seventeen hoovered over me. "As we speak Eighteen is destroying blondie and his friend's base, the game was for me to get you away from him."

"Gohan... no you creep!" I jumped to my feet and I powered up and I flew off back towards the base of operations.

"If I were you I'd use that technique you learned from Goku it'll be faster, not that'll it'll help much everyone there will be dead already!" Seventeen shouted after me.

I placed two fingers to my forehead and I tried to locate any surviving ki's there I found only a small amount but it was enough and I phased out.

***

I arrived there only to see the once destroyed city sunken in to the ground. I looked round worried. "SHARPNENER!!! VIDEL!!! ERASER!!! GOHAN!!!" I called out.

I was greeted with some rubble moving and I saw Gohan pull himself out of the ground and I ran up to him and he looked at me and blinked. In his arms was a crying Pan. I let out a sigh of relief.

"You're okay." I said.

He smiled. "So you do care." He teased.

I huffed and thumped him on the arm. "Don't you dare do that to me again!"

Gohan stood up and he took in a breath of air. I looked round using my wiccan instinct to try and locate anyone else.

"Lee they're gone." Gohan interrupted. "I took Pan from Videl as she was dying. She was crushed alive, she used her body to shield Pan." He added.

I blinked. "Gohan..." I looked at him his face was filled up with hurt as if he was seeing her dying all over again. "I'm sorry. If I had known it was a trap I wouldn't-"

"It's not your fault. All that matters is getting Pan to someone who can look after her." He replied.

"Chi-chi?" I asked.

Gohan's eyes widened. "Oh no way!!! My mother will freak!"

I laughed. "Gohan she'd freak if you and I had a kid, this child though she's different she's the daughter of you and Videl." I said.

Gohan looked down at Pan. The baby girl had quietened down. She looked so adorable and Gohan looked at me. "Take her to my mother. Explain what happened. I'm going to dig their bodies out for a proper burial and see if anyone else survived."

I nodded and I took Pan. Using the instant transmission I phased away from the scene.

I arrived outside the Son home looking at it I realised I hadn't been there since the day Goku died. I swallowed and I tapped on the door.

"It's open." I heard Chi-chi call out.

I pushed the door open and she turned round and she looked at me in sudden shock.

"Leona- oh my gosh. You're... alive." She remarked.

I nodded. "I know we have some bad blood between us but I'm here because Gohan sent me." I said my voice shaking just a bit. I really didn't want her to get mad.

"Oh my baby! Is he okay?" She asked suddenly panicked.

"Um some of his friends were killed in an android attack he's um digging their bodies out of the rubble for a proper burial." I explained.

"Oh." She looked at me then at the baby. "That baby?"

"Is Gohan and Videl's daughter, she's one of the ones who died in the attack. We need for her daughter to be looked after can you do that?" I asked her.

***

Chi-chi upon seeing the baby girl after I asked didn't say no to watching over her. After all Pan was her grand-daughter. She seemed a bit upset about the fact that Gohan had acted irresponsibly in getting Videl pregnant. Chi-chi had meet the girl and I heard at first they didn't get along. Videl spoke her mind and she didn't listen to Chi-chi's warnings much. Sitting at the kitchen table Chi-chi told me about the last fourteen years, it was almost for an instant as if she had never known about me and Goku. Either that or she didn't want to bring it up. As the saying goes- it takes two to tango.

Placing the cup of tea down on the coster I looked at Chi-chi and she sighed looking over at a photo of the three of them together.

"Sometimes I just wish he'd survived. Then maybe this world would be better off." Chi-chi spoke softly her eyes still on the photo.

I looked down feeling bad. "He was something. If anyone could make a difference he could." I said looking at the empty tea cup.

"Leona I'm sorry for getting mad with you. Goku told me that he hadn't told you he was married." Chi-chi remarked.

"Where I come from we have wedding bands that symbolise that. I noticed Goku or you don't wear one. Doc and Mrs Briefs didn't either." I said.

Chi-chi looked at me and blinked. "Wedding bands?" She asked.

"Yeah ring wedding rings I mean." I corrected.

"Goku well he wasn't familiar with those customs. But as for Bulma's parents, what they did was their business not mine." Chi-chi replied.

I nodded and I stood up. "Well I better get going. I should really get back to my daughter. And I know that even though you say that you're-" I began.

"Leona I am truly sorry." She said standing up.

I looked at her. I knew from the original dragonball z timeline that Chi-chi and Videl hadn't hit it off on the right foot and I wasn't going to risk getting in her bad books again by hanging around.

"I'm sorry about it too. You know I really wish Vegeta was around he could understand things like this what I went through." I sighed.

Chi-chi looked at me. "Find Gohan for me and when you get home give me a call I want to know if he's alright." She said.

I nodded. "Sure."

Chi-chi walked me to the door and I she opened it and we blinked as Gohan stood there and he blinked at the two of us. He lowered his hand from what had obviously been an attempt to knock.

"You got here okay." Gohan remarked. "I thought they might of sensed you."

I shrugged. "I'm okay Gohan." I turned to Chi-chi "Thanks for the cup of tea but I better be going."

I walked past Gohan. I tried to remain cool and calm with the walk but inside my stomach was twisting in knots. I hated that feeling of falling in love again. I knew that's what it was.

"Take care Lee don't forget to visit me. And do be careful out there." Chi-chi said.

I looked over my shoulder at her and I smiled and powered up.

"I'll be fine." I then flew off.

***

I landed outside Yamcha's house and I looked at it and I sighed.

"I can't even be safe at my own house anymore." I whispered and walked up to the door and I slowly pushed it open and looked inside trying to see if I could pick up Alethea's power level.

"Alethea?" I asked quietly as I stepped inside. there came no reply.

I pushed open the door to my bedroom and I swallowed as I saw Eighteen standing there going through my drawers. She hadn't noticed me and I turned round quickly to leave and I stopped inches away seeing Seventeen I cursed them silently for not having any power levels.

"Welcome home Leona." Seventeen smiled. "Eighteen's clothes got a bit torn when she fought your friends in the city so she's looking for a new outfit. I hope you don't mind." He added still smiling as confidante as ever.

"Go right ahead." I said slowly.

I tried to pull the same trick with Seventeen as in walking right past him but he grabbed my arm and began to squeeze it. I flinched at his strength.

"You know earlier I was disappointed in you attacking me when I was unarmed."

I swallowed and I tried to pry his hand off my arm.

"You threatened my daughter's life." I remarked through gritted teeth.

Seventeen smiled. "You know killing yours and blondie's friends was really satisfying in it's own though. It's going to be the same when we kill you. But for now I'm letting you go. Train your daughter and train her hard because when you go we won't be as easy on her as we are on you."

Seventeen then let go and I fell back landing on the ground. I looked up at him.

"You'll get yours you creep. Nasty people like you always get their come upins." I remarked standing up and stalking out of my house and I looked back over my shoulder at it and I let out a breath.

I heard Seventeen laugh from inside and I walked away from the house. The last link I had left to Yamcha and I knew I couldn't return there for the fear of the next time I wouldn't be let go alive. I powered up and flew away.

***

I arrived in the main city and looked round Alethea's power level was untraceable and no matter where I looked I couldn't sense her anywhere. As I walked through the city I stopped seeing the sunken in ground on where the secret base had been and I looked in the hole.

"Oh Gods look at this mess." I breathed.

I sensed an approaching power level from the sky. I turned round and watched as Gohan landed on the ground he looked at me.

"Lee I thought you were going to Alethea." He remarked.

I flopped to the ground. "I can't find her. She's gone I can't sense her anywhere."

Gohan rushed up to me seeing my distress at loosing trace of her. He put his arms round me. "What happened Lee?" He asked.

"They came to where I was staying I thought Seventeen would of left and Alethea would of come back from earlier. But she wasn't there. Seventeen let me live so I could train her so they had someone else to torture after they kill me." I clenched my fist at the though of leaving Alethea behind to fight those two alone.

"That's what it's been like for me for the past fourteen years." He remarked.

I looked at Gohan. "How can you live like this? I can't do this. I'm not that type of person. I don't like fighting. Maybe when I was younger yeah sure I didn't mind getting in to the normal fights at highschool but not now. I'm not like that."

Gohan kept his arms round me. "You fought in highschool?" He asked softly.

I smiled. "Oh yeah I was the girl who beat up the seniors when I was in my sophomore year." I replied.

Gohan blinked and he looked down at me. "It must of always been there. That saiyan side of you then."

I nodded slowly. "Yeah I guess so. But I just want a life. I want a house that won't get destroyed. I want friends who won't be killed. I never thought I'd say this but I also want a job."

"Come back to my mother's house with me I'm sure my mom will let you stay over the night it's getting to risky to look for Alethea now." Gohan said.

I nodded and I let him help me up. He looked at me.

"It's my fault your friends died if I had defended the area before rushing off then they could still be alive." I apologised.

***

As I lay in the single bed in Gohan's room I rolled over in the bed and looked at Gohan fast asleep in the single bed next to mine and I sighed.

"What am I doing?" I asked myself quietly and I rested in to the bed. I blinked feeling a sudden feeling inside of me- it was familiar like someone was watching.

I looked round the room suddenly paranoid.

"Bardock?" I asked sitting up and I almost gasped.

I was looking at Goku and he was looking back at me worriedly.

"Goku." I suddenly gasped as I felt a pain shoot through me and Goku looked at me sorry. "What the-" I stopped as the pain increased.

"The virus Lee get the cure. It's important. You need to live. Make sure Gohan's happy please." Goku stayed where he was standing but he seemed to fade out like some sort of dream.

I bolted upright from the bed I was in and I looked round the room. My eyes darted about worriedly and I saw Gohan looking at me worried. He shared the same expression Goku wore in the dream. I then looked over to see Chi-chi standing in the doorway with Trunks standing back. Bulma was standing by the bed.

"Lee calm down Lee. Just sit down I'm going to give you the antidote now. It's alright. Everything will be fine."

I flopped down on the bed in a sitting position and Bulma looked at me. "We heard you say Goku's name Lee what happened?" She asked.

I blinked and looked at Gohan. "He told me to take the antidote and to get well to make sure Gohan lives happily." I said.

Chi-chi looked relieved by that.

"I'll be happy if you live. Now take the antidote Lee. You're getting worst." Gohan said his voice was filled up with concern.

"Does that mean Bardock was a dream to?" I asked more myself than anyone else.

"Bardock?" Bulma questioned.

"Goku's saiyan father. They look so much alike." I replied.

Bulma handed me a small medicine cup. "Drink Lee."

I nodded and downed the contents in the cup and cringed at the taste. "Yuk."

"Don't complain they're not out in flavors yet."

"Whatever you do if they aren't don't give me the cough liquid one. I hate that taste."

Gohan smiled and he hugged me which surprised everyone.

"Please stay alive Lee." I heard him whisper in my ear.

I blinked and looked at them. "What... er happened. I don't remember getting here. Yet I remember feeling like I'm here." I asked.

Gohan looked at me. "You don't remember?" He questioned.

I shook my head. "Not a thing."

"We started to fly here when suddenly while flying you seemed to get really tired and you just passed out and dropped out of the sky I thought it was tiredness but when I saw you begin to clutch your heart I got you back here and I called Bulma as soon as possible. I lost my dad to this virus I'm not loosing you to." He replied.

I smiled. "That's so sweet Gohan. Thank-you but I think I'll be okay. I just keep seeing the dead telling me to 'live'. I doubt they're going to let me die."

"Have you seen Vegeta or Yamcha?" Bulma asked me.

I looked down. "I may see dead people in this dimension but those are two people who I haven't seen... yet."

***

I was left almost alone for a few days to properly recover. I hadn't even thought on the virus striking me again. But then again Bulma had warned me.

Gohan was by my side while I was recovering. It was sweet of him. But inside I knew his true intentions, and I felt bad for Videl.

I looked at Gohan when I woke up he was asleep in his chair and I sat up. I got out of the bed and got some warm clothes on and I walked outside and sitting on the main steps of Chi-chi's house I looked up at the stars knowing that in this world somewhere up there was snake's way and then the other dead Z warriors. I wondered if I would see the Grand Kai one day. I sat on the steps ignoring the chill that soaked through the jacket I was wearing I was mesmerised by the stars in all their twinkling beauty. I sensed Gohan move from his room he was obviously looking for me.

The door then opened behind me and I looked over my shoulder at Gohan standing in the doorway. "Lee don't do that. You scared me." He said worriedly.

I brushed some hair behind my ear and I looked back up to the sky.

"I feel so frustrated not being able to do anything in this world." I sighed.

Gohan looked at me. "Well I plan to keep training to defeat the androids one day. Even if I die that won't stop me from training."

He had such determination. Much like Goku. In fact so much like Goku.

I felt Gohan sit down next to me and his arm slipped round my shoulders. I felt myself being pulled close to him. But I didn't pull back I didn't yell or panic I just waited for the vision to come.

I felt myself standing in a long cue of clouds and I looked round baffled before realising I was heading towards the giant desk of King Yemma. When I reached it he picked up his book and he looked at me.

"Leona tried to create a device to shut down evil android from taking over the earth." He read from the big red book. "Hmmmm I remember you. You were here for a while looking for Dr. Briefs weren't you?" He asked.

I nodded slowly. "Um yes sir. I got the plans deciphered but they found out and well bada boom I'm here." I said.

King Yemma flipped through the book. "I see you're also associated with Gohan in this fight against the androids. Well You know there is no return to earth for you the dragonballs even the Namek ones can't revive you?" he asked.

I nodded again. "I know it's because I'm otherworldly." I replied.

"Very well. But I can send you on to King Kai's you can train there for a few years before going to the grand kai's place. Take Snake way to King Kai's but becareful not to fall off." King Yemma said.

"Very well." I turned round and went out the door to head down snakeway and I looked at it and I frowned at the length.

"Uuuummmm it's a bit long." I remarked.

"Well then off you go." He said.

I sighed and started walking down snake way. I looked at my watch and then I powered up to super saiyan and tore off down snakeway if Goku could run down it so could I!

I'd been running for three days in my super saiyan mode before I powered down and slowed myself down to a walk. I looked at the length and I flopped down to a sitting position. 'This is going to take forever.' I thought and sighed.

I then stood up and walked for a bit until I realised that I could use the instant transmission. But that would basically be cheating but I didn't have anything to lose.

I placed two fingers to my forehead and locking on to King Kai's power signature I transmissioned myself to his planet- I'm not one for long rides.

King Kai turned round and he looked at me and blinked. "Oh my another trainee."

I looked at him. "Another?" I asked.

He motioned over to the side and I blinked seeing Gohan standing on top of a high up beam of wood. He was in a meditative state and I looked at King Kai.

"King Yemma sent me to train with you before heading on to the grand kai's planet." I said simply.

King Kai blinked and he looked at me. "So you think you're good enough to head off to the grand kai's planet?" He asked.

I shook my head. "Oh no way. Not yet at least." I smirked.

King Kai nodded. "Well you are very over confidante. First of all you must make me laugh in order to train you." He said.

I grinned. "Make you laugh huh? Where do baby apes sleep?" I looked at King Kai and he nodded for me to continue. "In Apricots."

He began to snicker and I looked over at Gohan. Then I looked back to King Kai as he burst out laughing.

I looked back at Gohan as he opened one eye and he looked at me. He then blinked in shock before falling off the beam and landing on his head.

Gohan then jumped to his feet and he ran up to me. "Lee!!" I felt myself being scooped up in to an all powerful hug. Gohan had defiantly increased in the four years since I'd last seen him.

"Gohan." I breathed. "Need air." I added.

He let me go suddenly and he blushed and I looked round suddenly confused.

"Lee?" He looked at me. "What's wrong?"

"Anytime you touch me I have a vision but I see nothing anymore."

Gohan looked to King Kai rolling round on the ground still with laughter.

"It wasn't that funny a joke." I said and blinked.

Gohan brushed a strand of hair from my face. "Well your silly jokes helped me be able to get trained here. So Thanks." He said.

I smiled at Gohan and looked round King Kai's planet. "Well I guess we can train together then. Should be interesting."

Gohan smiled and I saw him look at me. It wasn't one of his Goku excited for battle looks that he got but more of a relief look. "Finally reunited." He said simply.

I felt myself tingle and I blinked surprised as Gohan kissed me and instead of running away like I normally did I kissed him back.

I snapped out of the vision at the point of Gohan's kiss and I looked at him. He was just sitting there and he looked over at me. "I've got a better joke you can use." I said.

He looked confused. "A joke?" He asked.

"When I die I plan to train with King Kai I have a joke in mind to tell him. So I'm going to tell you one that you could use." I said.

Gohan nodded slowly. "Ummm I guess so."

"How do you find a missing barber?" I asked

"Barber?" Gohan questioned.

"You know the dude that cuts people's hair." I replied

"Oh.... Um I don't know."

"Comb the street."

Gohan thumped his forehead and he looked at me. "Lee that was very lame."

"Hey you'll thank me one day. Trust me I can see in to the future." I smirked.

Gohan shook his head. "This vision thing sometimes I wish I had it too so I could see why you're so worried most of the time."

I looked at Gohan seriously and I shook my head. "It only comes with contact now and probably one day when I've fully opened up to you then I might show you what I see. But until then it's my body it's my burden." I let out a sigh.

I stood up putting distance between me and Gohan. As much as my visions showed me with Gohan. I felt like Yamcha did when he first encountered Bulma. Like a total coward and I wanted to run away and hide. But it was pretty hard considering I remember Gohan being this carefree ten year old boy.

Gohan stood up and he walked up to me. "Lee what's wrong?" He asked.

"Oh nothing it's just the vision I had a few moments ago." I replied.

"What happened? Something bad?" He asked.

"Just that I saw myself being dead and wandering the afterworld." I replied.

Gohan blinked and he looked at me. "Are you afraid?"

"No it's just the stuff I see, it's like completely in my face and I feel bad for the feelings I get from them, especially when I know that in my heart I'm still missing him." I replied.

Gohan looked at me. "You saw us together didn't you?"

I nodded. "That's the second time I've had a vision of the two of us."

"Lee you know how I feel about you. Bulma told me she told you, and I know I was only a kid then- but please give me a chance." Gohan said.

I looked at him and blinked. "But Videl-"

"Told me to be happy and save the world. I can't do either without you."

I looked down at the ground and I felt Gohan's hand touch mine and I looked up at him- in to those large eyes so pure and innocent yet they had a hardness behind them that I hadn't been here to see taint them.

"Gohan-" I stopped as he bent down and kissed me. I felt myself fall in to the kiss. Such a hard person yet he had such a gentle side to him as well.

When we parted from the kiss and I looked at him. I looked round confused.

"Lee. Are you okay?" He asked sounding a bit worried. "Another vision?"

I looked back at Gohan and I smiled. "Just the opposite the first time ever no vision."

Gohan smiled and I hugged him. He wrapped his arms round me and I couldn't help but look at the bulging muscles as they surrounded me. In typical female anime fashion I still had none. I made a promise in my head to get back in to my personal training to change that.

"Tomorrow I promise we'll both go out there and look for Alethea." Gohan said softly in to my ear and I nodded.

"Thanks Gohan. For just being here."

***

I woke up in the morning and looked over at Gohan sleeping soundly. I had of course slept in a different bed from Gohan. But we shared the room. I looked up at the ceiling I was lying in the bed that in the other dragonball world Goten would be probably lying in at that moment looking up at the same exact ceiling. I sighed to myself. I had always adored Goten and it felt strange to know that I would never see him in this world. I had always wanted to meet him.

I heard Gohan yawn and wake up. I looked over at him and he looked back at me and he smiled at me. "How long have you been awake?" he asked.

"Just a few minutes." I replied.

"I'm glad to see you are sleeping soundly now." He sat up and I watched him grab the antidote from the dresser. He got up and I sat up Gohan sat on the side of the bed and he looked at me. I looked at the antidote wearily.

"Lee don't look at it like that. It's helping you." He said.

"I feel fine though." I insisted.

Gohan raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "Uh-huh."

"I do honest. I swear-"

Gohan thrust it in to my hand and he gave me a stern look I recognised. "Take it."

I sighed defeated and I took the antidote before handing it back to Gohan.

"That's better, now lets see what my mother's got in the line of food downstairs."

I smiled and I got up and the two of us wandered downstairs.

When we reached there Chi-chi had Pan in a high chair and the baby girl looked at us and she blinked. She smiled at the sight of Gohan.

"Oh you two are up that's good. sit down get some food in to you." She said.

We sat down and I watched amazed as Gohan began wolfing his food down. I still couldn't get used to the anime obsession with eating so fast.

Chi-chi looked at the me and she smiled friendly. I think she was getting used to me all over again. "It's amazing how you haven't changed over all this time."

I nodded. "I was in my world for some time chasing up androids. I just wish I could of been here to help in the fight here."

"If you had you wouldn't of lasted long. Vegeta was stronger than you Lee and you saw how he died." Gohan remarked. "I think we're lucky to be alive."

"Well you two better stay alive. For your kids sake." Chi-chi said her voice serious.

I looked at Pan in the high chair and Gohan blinked and looked at her.

"She's so tiny." He remarked.

Chi-chi smiled and looked at Gohan. "Goku said the same thing about you when you were a baby."

Gohan looked at his mother. "Wow really?"

"Yes, and you remind me so much of him." She sighed.

I could tell she missed Goku and I looked down to the food.

"Mom I would like your permission if I could take Pan with me and Lee. I want to get a house where we can stay while we're looking for Alethea." Gohan said.

I looked up at Gohan and then to Chi-chi worriedly.

Her eyes narrowed for a moment and she looked at me and read my surprised look.

"Looks like you've got it all figured out haven't you Gohan? But did you even ask Lee?" She questioned.

Gohan looked at me. "Um well I told Lee we would look for Alethea. But this could really take some time."

"Well you don't need to ask me to take your daughter with you Gohan." Chi-chi replied and she looked at me. "but you should of consulted Lee about this house business." She added.

"Lee's still recovering from the virus. And I know her. She won't take the antidote unless it's forced down her throat." Gohan replied.

"Hey!" I protested. "I'm good at taking medication."

Gohan and Chi-chi both looked at me and Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh sure you are." He drooled.

I frowned and looked back to my plate of food. "I feel like I have no say in this so I'm going to shut up." I said.

Chi-chi sighed. "Well I can't order you around anymore Gohan, you're all grown up. You've got to make choices for yourself. And I know how you feel about Lee."

I frowned even more. What was this? Everyone knew about Gohan and how he felt about me, and they all took it seriously- except me.

"Thanks mom." Gohan replied.

"You be careful though Gohan." she added.

"I will." Gohan replied and he smiled.

I sighed defeated and popped a forkful of food in to my mouth and ate.
