*-Setting skip: Mount Paozu-*
The walk had been silent so far. Until Caden thought of something Daddy told her.
"Hey Bubba!"
"Hey what?"
She giggled.
"Me and Chiyu and Daddy are going to make dinner tonight!"
He smiled. She grabbed his and Goshen's hand. They looked down and then forward. Then he looked to Chiyu.
"Whatcha guys making, Sissy?"
The students marveled at how comfortable he was when his family was around.
"We're gonna make fish!"
The students all moaned "Mmmm...".
"I like when Daddy makes fish. He makes it nummy!"
The Son siblings agreed. Goshen turned his head to him.
"Hey, Gohan?"
"Huh?"
"Will you spar with me when Dad and the girls go fishing?"
Everyone (except their siblings) laughed. Sharpener spoke up.
"Gohan? Spar? Yeah right, kid. Look at him, he's as thin as a stick!"
Caden and Chiyu turned and glared at the teens. There were loud gulping sounds. Then, pleased with their work, they turned; Son smiles plastered on their faces. Goshen spoke up again.
"Maybe you could teach them something about Martial Arts."
Then he mumbled under his breath.
"More than Mr. Satan will ever know."
Gohan flicked him.
"Ow! Gohan!"
He looked into the eyes of his older brother, who was glaring hard at him. He was apparently mad. Why else would he stop dead in his tracks and glare? Students were amazed. They'd never seen him mad. When he spoke, there was a hint of poison in his already angry voice.
"I agree with what you said, both parts,"
he bent down and got close into his face; poison fading from his voice.
"But don't... EVER... say that when they're around. Got it?"
He nodded and looked down. Their eyes (the student's) bulged at his authority.
"What if it had been Mom or Dad that'd heard that? You know you'd be in more trouble than you would be now, right?"
"Yeah. Sorry, Gohan. You won't tell Mom and Dad, will you?"
"I don't know,"
Caden stepped up for her middle brother.
"Don't tell Mommy and Daddy on him! They will get really mad and then I can't play with him!"
She was about to cry.
"Don't worry, I wasn't going to tell on him. I was just messing with him. Come here."
She ran and he picked her up.
"Sorry about that, guys. We ready to go now?"
All nodded.
*-Time skip: 1:37 p.m.-*
Erasa was whining the whole time.
"Are we almost there, Gohan?"
