Chibi-Gohan: I think there is an old saying that if you watch something more than once it begins to eat away at your brain. If there isn't then I just made it up!

The Saiyan in Oz

~Gohan came flying home with Hiya Dragon behind him, he ran over to Chichi as she was hanging up laundry.~

Gohan: Mom! You gotta do something about Vegeta! He wants to-

Chichi: Not now, Gohan! I have to finish hanging these up and then get to finishing dinner.

Gohan: But Mom!

Chichi: Gohan I said not now!

Gohan: *sighs and walks over to where Goku and Kuririn are cutting firewood*

Goku: Hey Gohan! What's wrong?

Gohan: Vegeta's mad at Hiya Dragon because he peed on the side of his gravity chamber and shortened the fuse again. He said he was going to destroy him once he got his hands on him, I was just lucky that Bulma stopped him long enough for me to get home. But he yelled, saying that he'd get Hiya Dragon sooner or later.

Goku: Well your not using your brain against Vegeta, next time you train with him, don't take Hiya Dragon.

Gohan: *sighs* Dad you don't understand. *walks over to where Piccolo is meditating*

Piccolo: Come on kid, I didn't train you to be afraid of that arrogant Prince, you just have to show some courage against him.

Gohan: *balancing on a fallen tree trunk over the river* I'm not afraid of him. *slips off trunk and falls in the river*

Piccolo: Gohan! *jumps in and pulls Gohan out*

Goku: *comes running up with Kuririn* Gohan you alright?

Gohan: Yeah *looks over to Piccolo who's gasping for air* Piccolo? You okay?

Kuririn: Hey Piccolo! What was that bit about courage?

Piccolo: *catching his breath* S-Shut up!

Gohan, Goku, and Kuririn: *laugh*

Chichi:*walks up to them* What's so funny?

Goku: Nothing really, Gohan just fell into the river and scared Piccolo.

Chichi: *looks at Gohan* My goodness! Gohan your soaked! Get inside so we can get you warmed up. Goku don't just stand there! Go chop up some more firewood, or no dinner!

Goku: *gulps* Yes dear.

Kuririn: Boy Goku you sure are lucky, I hope one day I'm lucky enough to be happily married like you are.

Chichi: Less talk more chop! Come on Gohan! *takes Gohan into the house*

Gohan: Mom, Vegeta is dead serious about taking Hiya Dragon away from me.

Chichi: Well the further away he takes him, the better! That dragon has been a nuisance since the day you've found him, always interrupting your studying. Speaking of which, after you get changed you go finish your homework.

Gohan: Alright.

~Gohan didn't work on his homework, instead he sat by the window sill with Hiya Dragon gazing at the sky.~

Gohan: I wonder if there is a place out there where you couldn't get in any trouble, somewhere bright and colorful, and full of happiness. Do you think there is a place like that Hiya?

Hiya Dragon: *chirps*

Gohan: Yeah, there has to be a place like that somewhere. *gazes at the sky some more then looks left* Oh no!

Vegeta: *lands at Goku's house* Kakarot! Where is that brat of yours?

Goku: Oh hey Vegeta!

Vegeta: Don't "Hey" me! Where is your brat?

Goku: What do you want with Gohan?

Vegeta: He is the reason there is pee inside of the circuitry of my gravity chamber.

Goku: Oh, he peed on it?

Vegeta: No his dragon.

Goku: He peed on his dragon huh?

Vegeta: *glares at him as he enters the house*

~Sometime later~

Vegeta: You should be lucky that I am feeling kind enough to destroy that creature out in the desert, far from here, either that or I do it here and cause you too much grief and a mess to clean up afterwards.

Chichi: There is no choice, I thought you were going to take him to the mountains or to a zoo. I don't want this to go on here. Gohan, give him the dragon.

Gohan: Mom no! *wraps his arms around Hiya Dragon* I won't let you take him!

Chichi:*gazing downwards* Goku, give Vegeta the dragon.

Goku: *pulls Gohan's arms away from Hiya Dragon gently and picks up the dragon*

Vegeta: I brought something to carry that beast in as well. *pops a capsule containing a cage*

Gohan: *cries as Goku sets him in the cage and Vegeta closes it* No, Hiya Dragon!*glares at Vegeta* I hate you! You mean old jerk! I hate you! *runs into his room and slams the door*

Goku: Vegeta, you have done some pretty bad things in your life, but this has to be the lowest level I have ever seen anyone stoop to! I hope your happy that you got your way! *angrily stomps off to his room*

~Vegeta sped off from the Son's house carrying the cage behind him. Not noticing Hiya Dragon using his tail to unhook the latches.~

Gohan: *head down on his desk crying*

Hiya Dragon: *walks up to window and chirps*

Gohan: Hiya Dragon! You came back! *hugs Hiya* Wait, if you escaped from Vegeta he might be coming back! We gotta get out of here! *climbs out window, jumps on Hiya's back, and flies off*

~Baba's place~

Gohan: I don't think anyone will find us here if I keep my ki low. Where are we anyway? *sees a sign* "Fortune Teller Baba" huh? I wonder if I would be able to stay here for a while. *sees an old woman sitting on a ball, cooking fish* Um excuse me, are you Baba?

Baba: *looks up* Why yes I am, Fortune Teller Baba at your service. Did you come out here to have your fortune told?

Gohan: Um, no actually-

Baba: Wait! Don't tell me. *stares at Gohan for awhile* Your running away from home*Gohan nods* Yes, now why is it that your running hmm?

Gohan: Well-

Baba: I know, nobody understands you, you want to go out and have fun, experience things for yourself.

Gohan: Yeah exactly! How did you know?

Baba: I am a fortune teller, its my job to know. (Plus I was watching from my crystal ball the whole time, I knew he'd show up) So I take it you want a job here do you?

Gohan: Oh yes please! I can sweep, do chores, cut firewood, anything!

Baba: Well I guess, but how about I read your fortune first?

Gohan: Okay, but I haven't got any money.

Baba: That's alright consider this one free of charge. *muttering* Strike up another one for Baba's good deeds.

Gohan: Gosh! Thanks a lot!

Baba: No problem! Hear me now crystal ball show me everything and I mean all. *ball is blank* <A/N: She already knows Goku and Chichi, but Gohan doesn't know that> Ah yes I see a house out in the mountains near a river.

Gohan: That's my home.

Baba: Yes, yes out in Mount Paozu, hmm I see a woman and a man.

Gohan: Those are my parents.

Baba: Yes, Son Goku and Son Chichi, they seem upset about something, yes someone has deeply hurt them.

Gohan: Me?

Baba: Well, its someone they've taken care of all his life, and loved very much.

Gohan: *looks to the ground* W-what's happening now?

Baba: Well, hmm the woman is collapsing on the bed and the mans trying to wake her up, now he's holding his chest, that's about it, the picture has faded.

Gohan: Oh no! I gotta go see if they're alright! Come on Hiya Dragon!

Baba: Wait! I thought you wanted to work for me!

Gohan: Sorry! I can't I really have to get home! *climbs on Hiya Dragon and flies off*

Baba: That worked better than expected. *sees dark clouds gathering and collects her dinner* Sure hope that boy gets home safely.

~Goku and Chichi's house~

~Animals are fleeing to their caves to be protected by the storm. Piccolo, Kuririn, and Goku are dragging Chichi into a cave as well.~

Chichi: *yelling* Gohan! Gohan where are you?!

Goku: Don't worry Chichi! Gohan's probably in a cave somewhere as well!

Chichi: But I just can't leave my baby out there in this weather all alone!

Goku: He'll be fine, he's strong he can handle the storm. We'll look for him after this passes.

Chichi: *crying* Are you sure he'll be okay?

Goku: *pulling Chichi inside the cave as Piccolo pulls a boulder to cover the cave's opening* Gohan isn't foolish enough to be out in a raging storm, he probably went to seek shelter as soon at the rain started.

But Goku didn't know how wrong he was. <Chibi-Gohan: I would've ended it there, but I decided not to>

~Gohan and Hiya Dragon land at their house~

Gohan: *bursts through the door* Mom! Dad! Please be okay! *runs into Goku and Chichi's bedroom to see they aren't there* Where could they be Hiya? *runs in his bedroom and looks out the window* The storm seems to be getting worse we should go somewhere safer. *turns to leave as a encyclopedia comes flying at his head, knocking him unconscious*

Hiya: *chirps and begins to lick Gohan's face, waking him up*

Gohan: *sits up and rubs the side of his head* Ow! Dang what happened? *hears Hiya chirping by the window and gazes out it* Oh wow Hiya! We're inside a tornado! *watches as trees start flying past the window, followed by Goku and Kuririn cutting wood, and Chichi standing by the stove cooking dinner* That's not physically possible, how can they do that? *continues watching as Vegeta starts to fly past the window* Aw crap! *grabs Hiya Dragon and ducks down as the floating Vegeta flies past glaring evilly at them*

~The house begins to toss and turn, swinging Gohan and Hiya around the room and suddenly drops down to the ground.~

Gohan: Ugh! Get off Hiya! *pushes Hiya off his stomach, and looks around at the now trashed house* Mom's gonna pitch a fit over this, I can tell. *climbs over various objects, opens the door and steps outside* Whoa! *gazes around the surroundings of silvery trees, and rainbow colored houses* Hiya, I don't think we're in Paozu anymore. *walks over to examine a brightly colored bush and hears strange laughter* What the heck was that? *gets in a fighting pose and hears it again* Whoever you are you'd better show yourself!

Hiya: *chirps and gazes straight ahead*

Gohan: What are you looking at Hiya? *follows Hiya's gaze to a strange bubble like object floating toward them* Man what the heck is that thing? *Bubble suddenly splits and forms into two women* Bulma? *points to the blue haired woman who is staring at him strangely* What is this place?

Bulma: I'm sorry, have we met before? Maybe you know him, Lunch? *stares at the purple haired woman next to her*

Lunch: Nope never saw him before.

Gohan: What are you talking about Bulma? It's me! Gohan!

Bulma: Well whatever your name is, are you a good alien or a bad one?

Gohan: *stares at Bulma confusedly* What do you mean?

Bulma: Are you a good alien, or a bad alien?

Gohan: I'm half Saiya-jin, you know that! *gasps are heard* And where the heck are those coming from?

Bulma: Y-Your a Saiya-jin? *turns to Lunch* So that means he just killed off one of his own kind!

Gohan: *starting to get annoyed* I am half Saiya-jin and half human, and what do you mean by killed off my own kind?

Lunch: *points towards the house* Look under there.

Gohan: *walks to the house, checks under it as instructed to, and sees half of a Saiya-jin's armored body with it's tail sticking straight out* Oh my gosh! I flattened somebody!

Bulma: Yes, and the Munchkins want to know if your a good alien or a bad one?

Gohan: I'm good, but I'm not a full alien. And I'm glad about that cause most of the full aliens I've met were true evil. *hears laughter again* Is anyone gonna tell me what those noises are?

Bulma: Those are the Munchkins. They think it funny that you don't trust most aliens because Lunch over there is an alien. <A/N: I know Lunch is a strange Earth girl and I'm sorry if it makes you mad if I call her an alien but it's just a fan fiction so don't take this story too serious ok?>

Gohan: She is? Wow she looks like a regular human to me.

Bulma: Allow me to demonstrate.*pulls out a large feather and tickles Lunch's nose.

Lunch: AHCHOO! *transforms into Crazy Lunch and starts shooting things*

Gohan: *dodging stray bullets as screams are heard* Ok! Ok! I get it! Change her back!

Bulma:*tickles Crazy Lunch's nose and changes her back to normal* Well now you can see looks can be deceiving.

Gohan: Yeah I can see that for sure.*sees a bunch of white faced dwarves walk out of buildings and out of bushes* Oh, these must be the Munchkins! For a second I thought I had crashed Chaozu's family reunion.

Head Munchkin: Newcomer! We of the Munchkin world rejoice our freedom over that evil Saiya-jin that your house had luckily decided to come crashing down on top of him from the heavens! You will always be remembered here as a god, Gaahen, and we will never forget what you have done for us. *shakes Gohan's hand*

Gohan: Uh, thanks, I guess, and my name is Son Gohan. *looks over at Bulma* What's he talking about anyway?

Bulma: Well, that Saiya-jin your house smashed was once an evil being who used these poor munchkins as his personal servants. He had finally gotten tired of them and was about to obliterate them when you came crashing down on him just in the nick of time.

Gohan: Oh, I see now.

~Suddenly a nearby tree is blasted to bits as Munchkins begin to flee to safety, a certain spandex clad Saiya-jin lands in front of Gohan, Lunch and Bulma.~

Bulma: Oh great its the Saiya-jin Prince from the west.

Vegeta: Quiet down woman! I have no business with the likes of you. *glances over at the house* Pheh! Where did this abomination come from. *notices the body sticking out from under it* Is that Raditz? It is! Alright which one of you ingrates did this to my warrior? *picks up a stray munchkin* It was you wasn't it?

Munchkin: No! *cough* It wasn't *wheeze* me!

Vegeta: Who then? *munchkin points to Gohan* Ah I see. *flings munchkin into the sky*

Munchkin: Wheeeeeee!

Vegeta: So boy, destroy my prized warrior will you? *charges up a ki*

Bulma: Wait a sec Spandex boy, aren't you forgetting something?

Vegeta: Oh yeah that's right. *ki disappears and he runs back to Raditz's body* The fuzzy tail is all mine! *grabs at the tail, but it disappears along with Raditz's body* What is this? Some kind of trick?

Bulma: Oh, it's no trick. Here is where the tail is and here it will stay.*points to Gohan*

Gohan: Huh? *looks to where Bulma is pointing and notices the tail attached to him*

Vegeta: Give me that tail boy! You don't know how to use it!

Bulma: Gohan, you mustn't let Vegeta claim the tail, the power must be really great if he wants it that bad.

Vegeta: Shut it Woman! I'm speaking to the brat!

Bulma: Get out of here you got no authority here. And you should leave before another house lands on you next!

Vegeta: *glances around nervously* You watch your back Brat! I will get that tail one way or another. *flies off*

Lunch: Was another house really gonna fall?

Bulma: No but it sure scared the poop out of him huh?

Lunch: *laughs* Your crazy.

Bulma: Look who's talking.

Gohan: So are you gonna tell me how I can get back home or not?

Bulma: Sorry, I'm stumped there. *glances at Lunch* You got anything?

Lunch: Well, there's always the Wiz-ACHOO! *transforms back into Crazy Lunch*

Bulma: Of course! The wizard will tell you how to get home. Just follow that blue road over there, that'll lead you straight to him.

Gohan: Okay, thanks! Uh what about her? *points to Crazy Lunch * She gonna be okay?

Crazy Lunch: *chasing a Munchkin with a cleaver* GET BACK HERE PIGGY!!

Bulma: *sweatdrops* Yeah, I'll take care of her, you go on ahead. *runs after Crazy Lunch with the big feather* Whoa Lunch! Settle down!

Munchkin: Help me!

Crazy Lunch: GET BACK HERE MEAT!

Gohan: *watches the chase for a while and sweatdrops* Uh, yeah. Well, I'd better get out of here, come on Hiya. *takes off on the blue road as the yells from the village continue*

~Some strange field~

Gohan: Man, I should've asked her how long this freaking road is. *comes to an area that's split into fours* Aw crap! Now where do we go?

Voice: This way seems fun!

Gohan: Huh? What was that? *scans the field and notices nothing but strange plants and a familiar looking scarecrow* Hey! That scarecrow looks like Dad, doesn't it Hiya?

Hiya: *chirps and nods*

Voice: Then again that way could be fun too!

Gohan: There it is again! But where is it coming from? *walks up to the Goku-like scarecrow* Wow! That really does look like Dad.*peers into the scarecrows face*

Goku: Hi!

Gohan: Ahh! *falls on his butt in the dirt*

Goku: Whoops, sorry. You okay?

Gohan: Yeah I'm fine. *gets up and dusts himself off* I thought you weren't alive for a second.

Goku: But I am alive aren't I? I didn't get mashed in to cucumbers did I?

Gohan: Uh, no, I just thought that cause your a scarecrow and most scarecrows don't talk.

Goku: Well I talk. Does that make me special or something?

Gohan: I guess, if you can talk then how come your in this field all by yourself?

Goku: I really don't know, all I know is that I was made here without a brain. I don't even remember what I'm supposed to be doing out here.

Gohan: Aren't you supposed to scare crows?

Goku: Is that it? I thought it strange that those mini black chickens kept showing up. Least I didn't starve. *smiles and rubs his stomach*

Gohan: You ate crows?

Goku: Yeah, they're a little bland and would've tasted better with some rice on the side, but I'm not complaining. Mostly since I don't know how to cook rice.

Gohan: What about the stuff behind you? Can't you eat that stuff?

Goku: No, nobody can eat it. Its some kind of plastic plant. Heh, birds don't know its fake until its too late. *sees a bird heading towards them* Shh! Watch I'll show ya.

Bird: *lands a few feet from the plastic stalks and hops toward the dirt*

Goku: LUNCH TIME! *shoots bird with a ki, cooking it*

Gohan: Oh my gosh, I think I'm gonna be sick!

Goku: So does that mean I can eat your share?

Gohan: Help yourself.

Goku: Gee thanks! *eats bird in one bite* Hey, where are you going anyway?

Gohan: Well, I'm trying to find this wizard of some sorts so I can get back home to my Mom and Dad.

Goku: Wow neat! Can I come?

Gohan: Sure I guess, what do you want from the wizard?

Goku: I wanna get some brains so I can read up on cooking rice! *smiles*

Gohan: Ok, but your stuck on that post aren't ya?

Goku: What this thing? This is nothing. *snaps the post and falls over, causing some feathers to come out of his pocket* Whoops! How did those get there?

Gohan: *rolls his eyes* Which way do we go now?

Goku: *points straight ahead* That way!

Gohan: How do you know for sure?

Goku: I don't, but it looks like a funner way than the others.

Gohan: Sure, why not? Oh yeah there is this mean Saiya-jin Prince after me, so if you decide to change your mind, I understand.

Goku: Don't worry, I'm not scared of nothin! 'Cept needles! *shudders*

Gohan: I know what you mean.

~So they head out straight towards their destination~

Goku: *singing* We're gonna see a wizard! A wizard! A wizard!

Gohan: Please don't sing.

Goku: Okeydokey!

~They soon come to an apple orchard~

Gohan: Oh good! Apples, I'm starving! *grabs an apple and is slapped on the hand by a tree* Ow! That hurt! *looks at his hand* I got a splinter! *starts crying*

Goku: *turns angrily to the tree* You creep! Why'd you slap him for all he wanted was an apple!

Tree: Yeah well that little brat shouldn't have yanked it off of me!

Goku: He's just a little kid, and he was hungry. Plus that and you gave him a splinter!

Tree: *in mock horror* Oh no! Not a splinter! Poor kid here, *smirks* take an apple! *throws an apple at Gohan, and laughs as it bounces off his head*

Goku: Hey! That's not very nice! How'd you like it if someone slapped you huh?

Tree: Like who, you? *laughs* Go ahead, slap me. It's not like you can hurt me anyway!

Goku: Okay, but you asked for it. *raises his hand to slap tree but pokes it in the center instead*

Tree: That's it?! That is pathetic! *laughs and falls to the ground*

Goku: Anyone else wanna stop us from getting apples? *other trees shake their heads no, and drop all their apples* Heh, thought so. *walks over to Gohan* You okay?

Gohan: Yeah, just got to get the splinter out. *plucks it out* Ow! Now I'm ok.

Goku: That's good, come on! Lets get some apples.

Gohan: Yeah! *sees the apple that hit him earlier and walks over to get it* Aw man, it's all bruised. *tosses it in the bushes and heads a CLANG* Hey there's something in there! *walks through the bushes and finds a short, bald metal man* Kuririn? Hey Da- uh, Scarecrow Guy! Come over here, I've found something!

Goku: *walks over with a few apples in his mouth and a couple in his hand* Wha yoo fin?

Gohan: What? I can't understand you.

Goku: *swallows the apple* Sorry, I said "What did you find?" *sees the man of metal* Wow! Cool! A tin dolly! *grabs the tin man and hugs it*

Gohan: Man, this is getting too weird huh, Hiya?

Hiya: *chirps*

Kuririn: *makes a muffled squeak*

Goku: Wow the doll even makes noises when you squeeze him!

Gohan: Wait I think he said something.

Kuririn: *makes another squeak*

Gohan: I think he said Oil Can, but what oil can? *Hiya sees oil can on a tree stump and hands it to Gohan* Huh? Oh thanks.

Goku: So what do we grease up first?

Kuririn: *squeaks again*

Gohan: I think we should get his mouth first. *oils Kuririn's lips* That should do it.

Kuririn: Oh thank you! I didn't think anyone would show up.

Gohan: *oils Kuririn's arms* How did you end up like this anyway?

Kuririn: *takes oil can and oils his own legs and feet* Well, I was sitting by that stump over there, trying to write a personal ad for the newspaper, when all of a sudden it started to rain. So I got up to head home, and rusted right where you found me at.

Goku: How come you were writing a personal ad?

Kuririn: I was looking for a date.

Goku: Why?

Kuririn: Well, look at me! Do you think just anyone would go out with a short metal bald guy like me? Well they don't! Only chance I have at getting a date is to have one set up by the personal adds.

Goku: Well, maybe you'd like to come along with us. We get to go see a wizard that's gonna make me smarter.

Gohan: Yeah, and the wizard's gonna show me how to get home, I bet this wizard can even set you up with a date if you ask.

Kuririn: You really think I can get a date?

Gohan: If he can get brains, *points to Goku chasing a crane* then I'm sure you can get a date.

Kuririn: *looks at Goku, who by now has cooked the crane and was eating it* Okay, I'm game. Lets go!

Goku: *burps and tosses a wing bone with a pile of other bones* Alright! That's the spirit!

Vegeta: *lands in on top of a house* So, it seems the brat has found some lackeys. Well boys, you'd be better off if you ditched him now than having to make me waste my time on such despicable imbeciles such as yourselves. *points to Kuririn* Especially you, ball bearing head *looks toward Goku* Hey bird boy! I think that last bird you ate was rabid! How's about a rabies shot? *pulls out a syringe and drops it in front of Goku, laughs and flies off*

Kuririn: Oh brother. *sweatdrops as Gohan and Goku cower behind him* Guys, its only a needle.

Goku & Gohan: But we hate needles!

Kuririn: *sighs to himself and blasts the needle away with a ki* There it's gone, happy?

Goku: My hero! *hugs Kuririn again*

Kuririn: Ugh! Let go! You're denting my sides.

Gohan: *laughs* You know I feel like I've know you guys all my life, but somehow that isn't possible.

Goku: Yeah, I don't think you were there when I was stuffed and hung to that post.

Kuririn: And I was rusting over there for a real long time.

Gohan: I just seem so close to you guys for some reason. Oh well, lets head on.

~Along with the tin man, they continue their journey~

Goku: *once again singing* We're gonna see a wizard! A wizard! A wizard!

Kuririn: Your positive he's gonna get brains?

Gohan: I'm not so sure at this point. Scarecrow Guy I said to knock off the singing!

Goku: Whoops, sorry.

~Deep in the forest~

Gohan: Wow, it sure did darken up in here.

Goku: Yeah, there could be lots of dangerous creatures hiding in a place like this.

Kuririn: Yeah, maybe evil horrible creatures, bent on total domination.

Gohan: Well, we should hurry up and get threw the forest before we meet any of them. *walks a few feet and runs smack into a 7ft green man* Ow! *rubs his face and looks up at the green man's face* Piccolo?

Piccolo: *lets out an angry roar that sends Goku and Kuririn fleeing behind a bush* Yeah that's it! Be afraid! Be very afraid! *pulls out bush* What are you doing in my forest?

Goku: N-nothing! W-we're just passing through.

Kuririn: Y-yeah, w-what h-he said!

Piccolo: I don't believe you! I should just do you two in right here and now! *points to Goku* You'd make a nice feather pillow. And you! *points to Kuririn* I could turn you into a watering can.

Goku: Hey! That's not very nice!

Kuririn: I agree. *looks to Goku* Why don't you teach him a lesson?

Hiya: *growls at Piccolo*

Piccolo: Growl at me, eh? Well, I'll just have to get rid of you first! *chases Hiya around Gohan and charges a ki at Hiya*

Gohan: No! Stop it! *blocks Piccolo's ki with his own, surprised when his surpasses Piccolo's* Wow, that didn't have as much power as I thought it would have. *watches as the smoke clears*

Piccolo: *coughing and tearing up from the smoke* Why'd you do that for? *sniffles* I wasn't going to hurt him, I couldn't even if I tried. I just wanted something to be scared of me that's all.

Gohan: Gosh, I'm sorry. But you can't just go threatening poor defenseless animals in order to drive fear into people.

Piccolo: I know, I'm sorry. It's just that I want to have the same image my father had, and he was the king of demons. And I'm not all that frightening, or that strong.

Gohan: Well if that's your only problem, why not tag along with us? We're going to see a wizard in the next city, who's gonna show me the way home.

Goku: And give me some brains!

Kuririn: And me a date!

Gohan: I'm sure that the wizard can make you more frightening.

Piccolo: Fine, what else have I got to do?

Gohan: Great! Now onward to the city!

~Elsewhere at Vegeta's castle~

Vegeta: *watching the scene via scouter* So the brat's made it past the forest huh? Well I'm not gonna let that runt get any further, hmm he did mention that he was half Saiya-jin. That's it! I'll plant a field Saiya Grass! That stuff will put him to sleep if he is of Saiya-jin blood. Yes, perfect. I'm a genius! *laughs evilly as dozens of brightly colored flowers cover a meadow in front of the city's gates*

~End of the forest, outside meadow~

Gohan: Hey guys look! We made it! *takes off running with the others* Whew! I'm getting kinda sleepy.

Goku: *yawns* Yeah, me too. *falls over and falls asleep*

Kuririn: Oh no! Goku! Goku wake up! Come on you guys, we're all gonna have to carry him.

Gohan: I wish I could but *yawn* I just need to take a rest. *curls up in the flowers and falls asleep*

Kuririn: Piccolo, help me out with Goku, would ya?

Piccolo: ... *sees drool coming out of Goku's mouth* Ew! Forget it.

Kuririn: What are we gonna do? They aren't waking up!

~starts to rain food~

Gohan: *sniffs and sits up* I smell food. *sees pile of food land near him* Oh boy! It is food! *begins to eat*

Goku: Food? *bolts awake* Alright! *gobbles food* Hey, where are we anyway?

Gohan: Look! That must be the city! Let's hurry up! I bet I can make it home by dinnertime!

Kuririn: But you just ate.

Gohan: Oh that was nothing but a snack. Come on Hiya!

~They soon make it to the gates~

Goku: Wow these sure are big doors!

Kuririn: Yeah, I'll say!

Gohan: I wonder how they open. *sees a rope* May as well. *pulls it and sounds the bell* Nice ring! *small window inside of door opens up and a bald old man with a beard pops his head out of the window* (Master Roshi? Nah, I gotta remember this isn't my home.) Um hello!

Master Roshi: Who rang that bell? Can't you people read the sign?

Gohan: *looks at everyone's confused face then back at Roshi* Uh, what sign?

Roshi: That sign right over... uh, just a second. *goes back in the window and pops out with at sign, pasting it to the door as he pops back in the window*

Goku: What's it say? What's it say?

Gohan: *reads it out loud* "Bell is broken, knock". Well, he could've just said so. *knocks on the door*

Roshi: *pokes his head out of the window, in a sing-song voice* Who is it?

Gohan: We were sent here to see the wizard.

Roshi: By who?

Gohan: Bulma told me that the wizard was the only was I could get home.

Roshi: Prove it.

Kuririn: Well, he's got the fuzzy tail, is that proof enough?

Gohan: Oh yeah, I forgot about the tail.*wags it*

Roshi: *sees tail* Okay I guess you are telling the truth. Wait here a sec. *window closes and doors open* I'll take you somewhere so you can freshen up. *takes em to the fix 'em up dept.*

~Goku is getting stuffed with new feathers while eating a turkey~

Goku: Yum! This is the life!

~Kuririn is getting buffed and waxed~

Kuririn: Yeah! Make me nice and shiny for the ladies!

~Piccolo's getting his claws and teeth filed~

Piccolo: (I could get used to this...)

~And Gohan is getting a bubble bath~

Gohan: Whew! I was starting to smell like old gym socks!

~In the middle of the hall~

Gohan: Well, now that we're presentable, how's about we go see that wizard huh? *people start screaming and pointing out a window* Huh what are they so freaked out about? *peers out the window to see Vegeta flying around spelling out something with a ki trail*

Piccolo: *reads vapor trail* "Surrender Brat". Hmm, this could be trouble.

Man: Who is this brat?

Woman: I don't know, lets go ask the wizard! *runs to the door with various people*

Goku: Come on! Let see the wizard too! *joins group*

Roshi: *comes out of door that people are gathered in front of* Hey! I'm sorry, but the wizard is too busy to hear your petty complaints. Just go home and lock you doors, you should be safe if you do.

Gohan: *weaves threw people as they flee to their homes* Sir, can we please see the wizard?

Roshi: What do got, cement for ears? I told ya the wizard's busy! Besides no one's ever seen the wizard, not even me! And I'm the wizards little brother!

Piccolo: But he's the Brat.

Roshi: *eyes Gohan suspiciously* Ah Ha! So your the Brat huh, well I'll see what I can do. *disappears behind the door*

Gohan: Oh I hope I can see the wizard!

Piccolo: I think we all do.

Roshi: *comes threw the doors again* The wizard said to go away! *slams door shut*

Gohan: B-but I wanna go home! *starts crying*

Goku: Aw don't cry, you can always stay with us.

Gohan: But I have to get home, the fortune teller said that my Mom and Dad were real sick and if I don't get home, something terrible could happen to them and it'd be all my fault. *sobs*

Roshi: *looking on from the door crying* Okay, you guys can go in. *sniffles* I might get yelled at, but I had a Mom and Dad myself once. Just please stop crying! *blows his nose on a hanky*

Gohan: We can really go in and see the wizard?

Roshi: Yeah go on ahead.

Goku: Oh boy! Finally!

~They enter a darkened hallway with an eerie glow~

Gohan: Is this where the wizard's supposed to be?

Voice: SILENCE!

Kuririn: W-who said t-that?

Piccolo: That did. *points to a giant head on a wall*

Goku: Wow!

Head: I SAID BE QUIET!

Goku: *jumps* S-sorry!

Head: NOW STEP FORWARD SCARECROW

Goku: *steps forward* Y-yes your headiness?

Head: YOU WISH TO OBTAIN BRAINS. IS THAT CORRECT?

Goku: Oh yes! I want to learn how to-

Head: SHUT UP! YOU STUPID BAFFOON! NEXT UP IS THE TIN MAN GET A MOVE ON!

Kuririn: O-okay.

Head: NOW YOU WANT A DATE CORRECT?

Kuririn: Yes, d-do you think you can hook me up with-

Head: QUIET! YOU MAKE IT SOUND LIKE YOUR GODS GIFT TO WOMEN WHEN REALLY YOUR JUST A PAHETIC BALD MIDGET! NOW ITS YOUR TURN NAMEK!

Piccolo: What is it?

Head: YOUR RELATED TO THE GREAT DEMON. ARE YOU NOT?

Piccolo: Yea-

Head: HUSH! YOU'LL NEVER BE AS POWERFULL OR AS EVIL AS HE EVER WAS.

Gohan: Hey! Quit being such a bully! We never did anything to you?

Head: YOU WHIS TO RETURN HOME, IS THAT RIGHT SON GOHAN?

Gohan: Yeah.

Head: THEN SHUT UP AND LISTEN! I SHALL GRANT YOUR WISHES. *pauses for their cheers* HOWEVER, I WANT YOU TO DO ONE TASK BEFORE I GRANT THEM.

Goku: Tell us! We'll do anything!

Head: ALRIGHT, I WANT YOU TO GET THE SCOUTER AWAY FROM THE PRINCE OF SAIYA-JINS AND RETURN IT TO ME.

Kuririn: B-but we'd have to kill him to do that.

Head: GET GOING!

Kuririn: Y-yes right away! *takes off running down the hall and skids into a wall*

~In the forest outside Vegeta's castle~

Gohan: Come on! We've only got to get the scouter and then we can go.

Goku: Yeah.*sees an owl in the tree and gets ready to blast it*

Piccolo: *stops Goku before he blasts owl* Fool, you'll alert him!

Goku: *rubs back of his head* Sorry, guess I wasn't thinking.

Gohan: Come on, it's only a little ways further. *hears rustling in the trees and is suddenly picked up by a Sibaman * Hey let go! *struggles and sees that the others are busy fending off the other Sibamen* Hiya where are you? *sees a Sibaman carry Hiya Dragon* Oh great! *disappears to Vegeta's castle*

~After Gohan and the Sibamen fly off~

Piccolo: Damn! They're gone!

Goku: We've gotta go after them.

Kuririn: This way! *leads the way to the castle*

~Inside the castle~

Vegeta: So Brat, we meet again.

Gohan: What do you want from me Vegeta?

Vegeta: You know what I want, give me the tail!

Gohan: But Bulma said-

Vegeta: Who cares what the Woman said, give me that tail or I'll have to harm your little dragon friend. *aims a ki at Hiya Dragon*

Gohan: No! Here take the tail! Just leave Hiya alone!

Vegeta: It seems you have some sense in that little head of yours after all. *grabs for the tail and is zapped* Ahh! I forgot that, I can't take the tail until you die. Well that will come soon enough. You! *points to Sibaman* Toss that dragon into the river!

Gohan: But you promised you'd leave him alone!

Vegeta: Just goes to show you don't take things literally. *Hiya Dragon escapes Sibaman and flies out window* Damn! Get him!

Gohan: Run Hiya! Run!

Vegeta: Well the dragon might've escaped, but you haven't. *pops a capsule hour glass* See this? This is how much time you have left until I destroy you. I'd do it now, but it's my dinner time and I never destroy anyone on an empty stomach. So I'll see you in an hour. *walks out the door*

Gohan: *sitting by a crystal ball* If only I didn't run away. *sniffles* I want to go home. *ball begins to glow and Chichi appears inside*

Chichi: Gohan? Gohan? Where are you Gohan?

Gohan: Mom! I don't know where I'm at Mom, but I'm trying to get home, I'm sorry Mommy I didn't mean to leave! *cries* I'm sorry!

Vegeta:*appears in the ball* Oh Waah! I'm sorry Mommy! What a weakling! *laughs and fades out of ball*

Gohan: Someone get me out of here!

~Outside castle gates~

Hiya: *met up with the others and let them to the castle*

Goku: Great so how do we get in there?

Piccolo: We could charge em?

Kuririn: Nah, they'd expect that.

Hiya: *watches the three try to come up with a plan as three guards sneak up on them*

Goku: Yeah! That could work!

Guards: *jump them from behind*

~Mess of Saiya-jin armor is thrown about~

~Goku, Kuririn, and Piccolo emerge wearing armor~

Goku: Quick, this way! *follows other guards into castle*

Kuririn: Okay now where?

Hiya: *runs up the stairs, to the room where Gohan is and chirps*

Piccolo: In there! *runs to the door* Hey kid! You in there?

Gohan: Yeah! Hurry up! The glass is almost empty!

Piccolo: Okay just hold up! Hey guys help me open the door! *sees Goku and Kuririn struggling to take off their Saiya-jin armor* Oh great!

Gohan: Hurry! I don't wanna die!

Piccolo: Okay! Here goes! *punches through the door, breaking it to shreds*

Gohan: You did it! *hugs Piccolo's knee* Come on! We've got to get out of here!

Vegeta: Going somewhere?

Gohan: Oh no! Its too late! *runs to the gate door with the others*

Piccolo: Crap! It's locked!

Goku: Now what are we gonna do? *watches as Vegeta's guards come closer, notices a rope hooked to a chandelier and fires a ki blast at it. Cutting the rope and distracting the guards* Come on! Move it!

Vegeta: Hurry! You guys go that way, and you guys cut them off at the pass!

Gohan: We're not gonna make it!

Piccolo: Just shut up and keep running!

Kuririn: Yeah! *stops when he sees the group ahead of them* Quick the other way!

Vegeta: Too late your cornered! And this is where it all ends, but before the brat goes. He's gonna see his friends go before him. Starting with feather boy! *shoots a ki at Goku*

Goku: Ahh! I'm on fire! *fans at his arm to put out the flame*

Gohan: Don't worry! I'll save you! *grabs a bucket of water and puts out the fire and also gets Vegeta's spandex wet*

Vegeta: No! You fool! It's shrinking! *higher pitched voice* Shrinking! Oh what a world! What a world! *falls over dead*

Guard: You've killed him! You killed the evil prince!

Gohan: I didn't mean too.

Guard: No it's a good thing! Now I can take off this horrible helmet! *removes helmet*

Gohan: (Wow Yajirobe?) Uh can I have the scouter?

Yajirobe: Sure, I don't need it! See ya, I'm gonna go eat the rest of the princes feast.

~Back at the wizards place~

Gohan: We brought back the scouter! Now can we get our requests?

Head: SO YOU KILLED THE PRINCE?

Kuririn: Yeah we shrunk the spandex he was wearing.

Head: AH DEATH BY THE ALMIGHTY WEDGIE.

Piccolo: So are you gonna grant out requests or not?

Head: COME BACK TOMORROW AND WE SHALL SEE.

Gohan: Tomorrow? But I wanna go home now!

Head: SILENCE! YOU SHOULDN'T SHOW SUCH INSOLENCE TO ONE SUCH AS MYSELF *doesn't notice Hiya pulling at a curtain and continues lecture*

Gohan: *sees Hiya pulling at curtain, and draws the others attention to it*

Piccolo: *looks down at the old woman behind curtain and coughs*

Baba: Oh! *speaks through the head* Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain.

Gohan: Give it up we caught you.

Baba: Oh alright! I am the great wizard.

Goku: What are you a fake? I bet you can't even grant us our wishes!

Baba: No, that's not entirely true. I can get your requests, first off you Goku, you wanted brains right?

Goku: Yeah.

Baba: Well you seem to have enough brain power to deter right from wrong, even if you can't read a simple recipe book. But since you want to cook rice so badly I happen to have these cookbooks on tape for you and this handy tape player. *hands Goku the items* And now you Kuririn, you want a girlfriend do you not?

Kuririn: *blushes* Yeah.

Baba: Well, most women would find a metal creature like yourself completely revolting. So I have here a woman who doesn't care what's on the outside, but rather what's on the inside, because she too is made out of metal. *pulls Android #18 out of a room*

Kuririn: Uh h-hi!

#18: *glares at Kuririn*

Kuririn: I think I'm in love!

Baba: Piccolo, you wanted to be stronger than you have ever been, rescuing Gohan out of that dungeon took a lot of strength, even though you desired to be like you father, your soul shows no malice in it as it did he.

Piccolo: I figured as much. Oh well.

Goku: Hey what about Gohan?

Kuririn: Yeah don't he get to go home?

Baba: Yes, yes I am getting to that. And the only way to get him back home is if I take him myself. You see, I have the power to travel different dimensions at will. And well, one day I went to one that was holding a big party, and getting a bit too tipsy, I ended up here instead of my original destination. These people saw me appear out of nowhere and declared me a wizard. How gullible is that huh? But fear not, for I shall be able to take you back to your mountain home, and it's near my home to. There is no other Paozu's in the other dimensions, you should consider yourself lucky!

~Everyone is gathered in the big hall~

Baba: I'd like to thank everyone for the kindness that they've showed me for the time I was here. And I should add, that in my absence, you shall be protected by these three individuals. *points to Goku, Kuririn, and Piccolo* Please treat them with the same respect that you treated me with. Well young Gohan, shall we get going?

Gohan: Yeah you bet!

Baba: Okay, just let me set the dial on my crystal ball. There we'll be off in a minute.

Gohan: Oh boy!

Hiya: *chirps, sees a squirrel and begins to chase it*

Gohan: Hiya! Wait up! *chases after Hiya Dragon*

Baba: Hey kid! Get back here!

Goku: Can't you shut the dial off?

Baba: No, sorry it's too late. Bye! *disappears with a POOF*

Gohan: Oh no! Now I'll never get home. *starts crying*

Piccolo: Don't cry kid, you can always stay here with us.

Goku: Yeah, anyways we'd all miss you too much if you did leave.

Gohan: *sniffles* Thanks guys, but this will never be like home. *hears gasps of amazement and looks up to see the familiar bubble he saw in the Munchkin city*

Kuririn: Maybe they can help you out!

Bulma: Gohan, you can go home now.

Gohan: Really? How?

Lunch: You've always had the power to go home, it's in the tail.

Goku: How come you never told him that earlier?

Bulma: It was something he had to figure out himself.

Lunch: You do know what you had to figure out right Gohan?

Gohan: I think so.

Kuririn: Well what is it?

Gohan: I realized that you can get in trouble just about anywhere you go, but no matter where trouble seems to follow, you'll always be safe if your with your loved ones. Is that right?

Bulma: Eh, close enough.

Gohan: Do I get to go home now?

Bulma: Yes, all you have to do is wag the tail and say. "I wanna go home." three times.

Gohan: That's it?

Bulma: Yep.

Gohan: Okay. *wags his tail* I wanna go home. I wanna go home I wanna go home.

~Gohan's bedroom~

Gohan: *mumbling* I wanna go home, I wanna go-

Chichi: Gohan! Come on honey wake up!

Gohan: *opens his eyes* Huh? Mom, Dad? What happened?

Goku: *holds up encyclopedia* I warned your Mom that studying too much wasn't a good thing.

Kuririn: Yeah, its amazing that even a thick book like that could crack a hard head such as yours.

Piccolo: You had everyone worried about you kid.

Chichi: We thought we lost you for a second there.

Baba: *appears by the window* I guess my ball wasn't lying when it foretold you'd survive that conk.

Gohan: *sits up in bed* But I didn't at first, I went to this weird place. And you were there *points to Goku* and you, *points to Piccolo and Kuririn* even you! *point to Baba*

Chichi: Oh my poor baby must've hit his head harder than we thought!

Gohan: But I remember it like it was real, and all I kept saying was I wanna go home. So now I'm home, and that's where I'm gonna stay!

~THE END~

Chibi-Gohan: Well, I hope you liked the story.

Vegeta: You killed me off with at WEDGIE?!

Chibi-Gohan: Hey, whatever works!

Vegeta: Ooh, you're going to pay for this brat!

Chibi-Gohan: You can't do anything to me!

Vegeta: Oh yeah? *smirks* What about you homework?

Chibi-Gohan: O_O You wouldn't!

Vegeta: Want to bet? Hey Kakarot's mate! Your brat hasn't been doing his homework!

Chichi: WHAT? *storms in* Gohan! You'd better have all that work finished by the time I finish making dinner, or you'll be in trouble mister!

Chibi-Gohan: *gulp* Y-yes Mom.
