The History Of Gohan

Dragon Ball Z: History of Gohan - Chapter 14

"I'm not Goku's second-born son... I'm his first-born!" Gohan admitted, as he bent his neck downward, covering his face with his large hands, "My name is Gohan, and I've been lying to you this whole time!"

"I... I don't know what to say.. So, you're just an older version of Gohan from the future?"

"Yeah, that's pretty much it... You don't sound very upset.. or even freaked out."

"Well, this is a little strange; I won't lie, but you're still the same man that I've fallen for, and your name won't change that... I just wanna know why you didn't tell me sooner.."

Goku and Present Gohan had returned home, now that Goku had regained all of his strength. Ox King was keeping Chi-Chi calm, as she was worried sick. Not only did she know that there was going to be a large fight, but she didn't want Gohan to get a cold since he left his jacket at home and it was raining out. They explained the situation which was at hand - told them both that Vegeta was going to come back on some unforseen day and go on a rampage until he found someone who could defeat him.

"There were a few reasons.. I thought you would be freaked out, seeing as you've known the other Gohan-" he stopped himself, "-me ever since he-" he stopped himself once more, "-I was a kid.."

There was a pause. Neither of them said anything.

"Not only that, but... I thought you might get confused over which one of us you were in love with.. or if you were in love with both of us."

"Now Goda-" she had to stop herself, "Gohan... I'm an intelligent woman. I know how time travel works. You grew up in a different time than Present Gohan. I know you two are different people with different personalities. That being said, I know for sure that you're the one I want to be with."

Yamcha, Tien, and Krillin had returned to the Kame House to inform the others about the situation at hand.

"Vegeta is an android?!" Master Roshi asked, shocked beyond belief, "I mean.. I always knew he was a tough cookie, but that's a lot!"

"It's really weird.. His intentions don't even seem completely evil necessarily.. He could have easily killed us all right then and there, but instead he wants us to train so that we can become more of a challenge for him." Krillin elaborated in a somewhat quiet tone.

"What makes this difficult is that we have no idea when he's going to come back, or where he'll be when he comes back!" Yamcha pointed out.

"Yeah... I mean, when Godan came around and warned us of the androids, he knew the exact day that they would arrive. That let us balance out our training and become prepared." Tien added.

"Hmm.. I certainly see how the element of surprise can be a hindrance to training," Master Roshi said, stroking his bearded chin while looking down at the old, wooden floor of his abode, "but all that means is that we should waste no time!"

The trio looked up at Roshi, somewhat surprised, as he began to take the role of a leader and master, which he had not for well over a decade.

"He could come tomorrow.. He could come next week! He could come in twenty years! No matter what day he is to come, we need to be ready to put up a good fight for him!" Roshi pounded his right fist onto his left-hand palm, "and you can't do that if you sit around complaining!"

Future Gohan smiled, happy that Bulma was not too disturbed by the information he had just given her, "Thank you so much, Bulma. I should have known you would understand from the start."

They hugged warmly as Bulma changed the subject, "So, about Vegeta being an android... How are you planning on training until he gets here?"

"I'm not too sure, really. I'm planning on heading over to dad's house sometime tomorrow and seeing what he and Present Me are going to do in preparation," Future Gohan thought for a moment, "Wait... Did you see Piccolo at all today?"
