Memory of the Sun

Chapter 30: Driving School

A few weeks later...

...

Luna sat in the shade of a large tree, resting for a moment as she watched Gohan, Goku and Piccolo fight it out above her.

He's improving so much... She thought, staring at Gohan as he held his own against Piccolo. Even though she knew he wasn't using his full strength against the boy, he had still come such a long way since their time on Namek. Incredible...

"HAAA!" Gohan shouted, blocking an attack from Piccolo as they turned around at the same time, each of them sending ki blasts towards Goku. The Saiyan just smirked, both attacks missing him by seconds as he used his new technique to teleport away as both beams of energy collided in a giant explosion.

"H-he's gone..." Gohan mumbled, looking around as the smoke cleared while trying his best to sense his father's energy.

Piccolo's eyes widened as he jumped to the side, barely dodging a punch from the man as he threw a jab of his own, smirking at he felt his fist brush past something. Gohan could only watch in shock as his father reappeared, both warriors sporting two matching cuts on their cheeks as they stared each other down. Goku chuckled as both of them smirked before taking off, moving faster than the eye could see as they fought.

"Wow, they're moving so fast I can barely see them!" Luna said in awe, grinning to herself as she noticed Gohan observing with wide eyes as well.

"That's it!" The younger boy said suddenly, knowing where they would be next as he jumped in the fight. Piccolo stopped mid punch, smirking at his student as he attempted to go toe to toe with his father.

"Hey Gohan... You're way too slow..." Goku teased, grabbing his son's arm as he kneed him in the stomach before sending him flying, watching proudly as he spun around and charged back at him. That's my boy...

Luna sighed as they continued their sparring, laying back on the soft grass as she let her mind wander. All of this training and fighting... Maybe one day we won't have to fight anymore... She thought wistfully, staring up at the clouds as memories from her home planet danced across her mind.

I miss those peaceful times...

...

Later that day...

...

"Hiya mom! Look what I caught for you today down at the pond!" Gohan said excitedly, placing the giant fish right in front of her. "Just in time for dinner!"

"More fish... That's great." Chi Chi sighed, trying to sound positive.

"Ew..." Goku mumbled, taking off his sweaty training clothes and throwing them across a nearby chair as Gohan did the same. "Come on Gohan, let's go take a bath..." Goku said, completely oblivious to how irritated his wife was becoming.

"Ugh! My clothes smell like fish!" Gohan laughed, grabbing a towel for himself as he headed towards the backyard.

"Hey Chi Chi, could you give these clothes a wash?" Goku asked, not even bothering to look back as he headed for the door as well. "We worked up quite a sweat today..."

"Rrgh... HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" Chi Chi shouted, sick and tired off doing everything herself around here. "Now let me get this straight... You expect me to get dinner ready AND wash you clothes while you and Gohan relax in a nice hot bath?!" She asked angrily as everyone stared at her, unaware of the wrath that was about to be unleashed on them all.

"Well that's not gonna happen mister! Do you even care what kind of day I had?! I don't know what I liked better... Being chased halfway home by a wild boar or walking the rest of the way on my tired, aching feet!" Chi Chi screamed, "And it's all because we don't have a car!"
