[Gohan's Pov]

Gohan: "Um, Nappa?"

Nappa looked down and me, chuckling as we walked through the streets of West City. Moments ago, mom and dad had said they needed some time alone. So Nappa and Raditz said they'd look after me, taking me to West City to buy some books.

However, the two older Saiyans had different ideas.

Raditz had brought his girlfriend Launch with us, and only moments ago, we had lost them on the street when Launch sneezed. Her hair was turning blonde and dragging him off into the crowd.

Nappa: "What is it?"

Said Nappa as he ate his ice cream cone while carrying my books in one hand.

Gohan: "Should we... Go looking for Raditz and Launch?"

Nappa: "Knowing those two, we'd probably be safer if we leave them be."

Gohan: "Oh... OK."

Glancing back down, I looked to the place we were walking into as kids of all ages started freaking out. Like there was no care in the world. It was a theme park. People marched about getting their respective rides. While Nappa paid had just paid for our ticket entry.

Nappa: "This looks like fun... Isn't that right, Gohan. Gohan?"

I didn't want to answer and kept my head low.

Nappa: "What's wrong, kid?"

Gohan: "I'm just worried...."

Nappa: "What's wrong? You are so scared that you don't want to go... On those... swingy thingies?"

Gohan: "Mom's going to be angry that I'm not working."

Nappa: "Oh, kid, don't worry about that. Your mom just wants you to learn; that doesn't mean she doesn't want you to have fun."

Gohan: "I suppose."

Nappa walked off, catching me off guard, soon returning with a bag of popcorn and some sweets. Handing me a drink, we sat down on a bench and ate. I was silent through it all and watched Nappa stare at a few females, some of them even glancing back at him.

But when he noticed my stare, he shook his head and sighed.

Nappa: "Alright, kid, I know you're not having fun here. So what do you want to do for fun?"

Gohan: "I am having fun!"

Nappa chuckled, grabbing my books; he floated in the air. Telling me to follow, we were back at the book shop in a few minutes, and they told me I could search for a book I wanted. Without saying a word, I found myself digging through the insect books and held one out for him.

Paying for it on the spot, we left West City and entered the countryside. Stopping off halfway as we came to a large river.

Nappa: "So, that book of yours is about insects?"

I grinned and nodded, pulling it out and reading the pages.

Gohan: "Yeah, it deals with the insects of this area and-"

There in the tall grass, was a Cicada and a beetle wrestling one another. Without even thinking, I studied the two bugs, watching the special taking place. Making little notes in my head about the two wrestling one another then dove into the book.
