"Because I'd get in trouble for punching a kid. Not just by the police, but by your Mom. I don't feel like getting yelled at by Chichi."
He cringed as she walked toward them.
"What's wrong, boys?"
The boys stopped fighting. The oldest Sons held up their hands in defense.
"Nothing, Mom!"
"Yeah, he's right, don't worry 'bout it, hon!"
She thought and then shook it off.
"Well, once you're done over there, these girls have terrible stances. Only one of them has a decent stance, but I want you to review it."
He nodded.
"Well, if you're not sure though, just ask Chiyu. I had to correct her stance a lot, so she knows what she's doing!"
She nodded and went to Chiyu. Goku turned to Gohan.
"Gohan, you know what you're doing when correcting stances, right?"
He nodded.
"Alright. Well, you see something wrong?"
He nodded vigorously. "
Show him where in a way he'll remember."
He gulped and turned toward Sharpener.
"Please don't hate me for this."
He punched him in the gut.
"Gah!"
He fell to the ground.
"What... Was that... For!?"
"You left yourself open. I'm going to hit when I see an opening. Not just for you, but for everyone."
Everyone paled and shuddered.
"Sorry buddy, but I have to."
He bent down and gut punched him and he collapsed. The other boys just stared in shock.
"Your competitor doesn't care whether you're 16 or not. So if you plan on entering that World Martial Arts Tournament, you need to work on your endurance, power behind your strikes, and your stances."
They all saluted in mock salute.
"SIR, YES SIR!"
He smiled and rolled his eyes and walked around to check stances; including having to punch Sharpener again.
*-Time skip: 7:45 p.m.-*
Goku was hushing Caden as her cries turned to quiet sobs. She and Goten were playing outside, and Goten accidentally elbowed her. So here they were. Goten looked up from the couch with a guilty look across his face.
"What's wrong, Goten?"
He started to cry too, which made the students groan.
"I didn't mean to hurt her. I'm sorry."
At least he cried quieter.
"Sorry, guys, they didn't have a nap today."
Chiyu came in and picked up Goten and they took them upstairs. The teens just sat on the couches and laid on the floor; in pain from being hit so many times by either Gohan, Goshen, Chichi, or Chiyu.
*-Setting change: Upstairs-*
Chiyu hugged Goten against her chest while Goku did the same with Caden.
"Hey, Goten?"
Caden asked. He looked up with shame-filled eyes.
"Why are you sad?"
"Because I didn't mean to hit you."
"I know, it just hurt."
She looked to Goku and Chiyu.
"Can you give us some privacy, please?"
They laughed, sat them on her bed, and left the room.
"I'm sorry, Caden."
"Don't worry about it. Hug it out?"
He smiled widely and they hugged it out.
"I love you, Sissy."
"Love you too, Big Brother."
They opened the door to Goku and Chiyu on both sides of the door, waiting for them.
"Hi, Daddy, hi, Sissy!"
Caden said as she and Goten hugged their legs. Goku knelt down to pick them up.
"Everything straightened out now?"
They nodded and laid on his chest. He looked to his oldest daughter.
"Ready to go?"
"Yep!"
They went downstairs.
"Hey Gohan, where's your Mom?"
"She went upstairs to change. So did Goshen."
"You gonna change too, Bubba?"
Chiyu asked with her head poking around Goku's waist.
"Remember your spar with Vegeta today? You might wanna get a Gi on."
The class snickered; earning another deafening glare from the Son daughters. All were quiet.
"I'll change with you. I need a Gi on, too. Trunks and Goten want me to oversee their training!"
She said; realizing that she was in 'Study Clothes' still. He nodded.
"Fine, let's go,"
He said, knowing he was defeated.
*-Time skip: 5 minutes later-*
All the kids except Chiyu and Gohan came down. Erasa turned to Goku and Caden.
"Where's Gohan and his sister at?"
They both half-heartedly shrugged.
"We're coming!"
They turned and saw them both come downstairs in Gis. The girls, except Videl, started to fawn over Gohan's form, while the guys got jealous. Because compared to him, they were just little boys. Both Goku and Chichi laughed.
"I remember when we were younger and you had to grasp onto my arm to keep girls off."
Chichi laughed harder.
"Yeah, good times. Now we get to see what it's like to see it happen to someone else."
The Sons shared a nice laugh, except Gohan, until it was time to leave.
"ALRIGHT, EVERYONE!"
They stopped and looked at him.
"Now that I have your attention, I need everyone to hold hands. If you don't feel comfortable holding hands, hold a wrist or shoulder. We all need to be holding on for it to work."
They all did as they were told without question. Gohan was in between Goten and Videl with Caden on his shoulders; he was bent down.
"Why are you bending?"
Goten answered for him.
"So that Caden doesn't hit the ceiling like Gohan did with me. I went through the ceiling, though!"
Her eyes widened.
"Alright everyone on?"
"Yes"
"Yep!"
"Alright, hang on tight!"
Videl was still confused.
"What are we-"
Interrupted! Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed the chapter and haven't forgotten Caden's lisp... Something easy to forget.
