| Disclamier: I do not own Dragonball Z. Actually I do... so sue me... * *Seriously.. I do not own Dragonball Z. *** I wanted to do one where Gohan ad Christine met in Otherworld and I decidded to put the Zguys in there only to watch. I feel bad I left them out but I've had this sitting in my PENDING folder and I'm getting tired of seeing it. Megan forced me to write it because she absolutly loves Gohan and Chris and she even came up with a top ten list of why Chris is better than Videl... maybe I'll post it some day... anyway... on with the very crummy fic. (I even think it's crummy... so bash the hell out of it all you want!) ALL FOR NOTHING SIDE STORY ONE "Gohan?" Something touched his shoulder and gently shook him. "Gohan?" Gohan forced open his eyes and stood up, turning quickly around in the bright, white room. "Hello?" The word echoed back to him. All of the sudden a spell of nausea swept over him as the white faded and ebbed. I�m dead, he thought, Aren�t I suppose to - His thought was cut off as a large room materialized around him. Losing his bearings, he was about to fall over when a strong arm grasped him and steadied him. �Sorry about that, son, I wanted them to send you here as soon as you arrived.� Gohan looked up. �DAD!� Gohan threw his arms around Goku in a large bear hug. Gohan smiled and hugged his son back. �Is everyone here?� Gohan asked, looking around� eyeing Vegeta, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, etc. Goku nodded. "Yup. And someone who really wanted to see you..." Goku's voice trailed off as Gohan turned around to see his mom was there as well, standing in the doorway of the large room, talking to someone out of sight. That someone had a slender arm that Chi-Chi was gently pulling into the room. A woman�s voice protested, but Chi-Chi sighed and pulled the someone into the room. Gohan froze at the sight of Christine, a lump quickly forming in his throat. The Z-fighters knew Christine as a quiet woman who tried to make the best out of any situation. And when they held tournaments in Otherworld she would always be sitting front row, cheering them on. Every one of them liked her and knew that Gohan had married her and had a child with her, after all, Chi-Chi had told them a little of the juicy stuff. Christine smiled at Gohan and fidgeted nervously, laughing shyly, like a little girl. She looked at the ground then back at Gohan. Before he could think about what he was doing, Gohan's body was at Christine's side and he was kissing her. For the first time in seven years Gohan felt her soft lips brush up against his and felt her body in his arms. It felt both familiar and foreign. When they pulled apart, Christine and Gohan both had tears in their eyes and Christine had found her voice. "Gohan!... I... and for all those years... and you... and Pan... And I.... missed you." "Quiet," Gohan said soothingly, holding her to him, refusing to let go. She pulled back against him however, her face flushed from her tears, "And ... I thought..." She stopped talking and ran her hands along his arms, shoulder and chest, tracing her way up his neck to his face. She ran her fingers threw his hair and held onto his gi, as if she wanted to touch every part of him and relive every moment before he disappeared into thin air. Gohan laughed and grabbed her wrists. "Panny's fine and now so am I. And I don't intend on going anywhere." Christine calmed down. "How were you on earth these last years?" She asked. "I had Pan and she was my everything. I mean... other than her, I had Trunks and Bulma." "Miserable without me, huh?" She joked weakly. But Gohan nodded seriously. "How could I not be when my only peace was in your arms? I missed you so much Chris." Now it was his turn to cry as he pulled her to him once again. She melted into his embrace. Vegeta scoffed and looked away. Goku kind of watched in amazement as did Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, etc. Gohan hadn't been in Otherworld five minutes and he was being all ... weird...at least by their standards. For one, they all still envisioned Gohan as the young boy they left, not the man that stood before them. That boy was all but gone and obviously deeply in love. �So what�s happened on Earth since I � left�� Christine asked. Gohan smiled and was about to reply, when he heard a voice behind him. �He�s got the rest of time to tell you�right now I�d like to say hi.� �Mr. Piccolo!� Gohan yelled, calling the green alien by his childhood name. Gohan walked over to Piccolo, trying to contain his happiness at seeing his green friend for the first time in ages. He felt like he was a young boy all over agin. Piccolo saw the childlike joy in Gohan�s eyes and rolled his own. �Fine,� he muttered under his breath, and Gohan gave him a great big bear hug like he had given to Goku. �You know, I wouldn�t let anyone else in the world do this,� Piccolo stated, still standing there with his arms crossed. Gohan spent the next twenty minutes getting reacquainted with everyone. When he got to Vegeta, the Prince of Saiyans made sure to state that, �If you try to hug me, I�ll blast you back to that damned planet.� �Is that even possible?� Gohan asked. �It will be if you touch me.� Gohan laughed and Vegeta smirked. Man, was it good to be back. They ate. (I mean, when do Saiyans of any kind get together and NOT eat!) The whole time Gohan and Christine throwing quick glances at each other. After the meal there was more talking. Most of the people were crowding around Goku, as he was telling a story about when Gohan was younger. Gohan was quiet and shaking his head, grin on his face. He turned around when he felt a tug on his gi. �Chris?� He questioned, seeing her standing behind him. He followed her to an unoccupied corner. �What?� �I wanted to have you to myself for a second� plus I�ve heard this story already.� �You have?� Gohan asked, eyebrow raised. Christine nodded. �If this is the one that ends with you dripping wet on Kame beach wearing nothing but seaweed, I�ve heard it.� Gohan scratched his head. �Gosh- they told you about that?� Christine just laughed in reply. This caught the Z-Senshi�s attention, and they all turned around to watch the two, who now seemed to be arguing. Unaware that they were being watched, they continued their conversation. �No, it�s all YOUR fault,� Christine said, pressing a finger against Gohan's chest. He snorted and shook his head. �Not as I remember� I believe it was you who started the whole thing.� Christine quickly frowned playfully. �Well, you remember wrong, mister.� At that moment they both stopped talking and started laughing. Everyone stared at the two. �What are they talking about?� Yamcha asked. �No clue,� Goku answered. �You never have a clue, Kakarott,� Vegeta quipped. Goku just waved him off and continued to watch his son. Christine and Gohan stopped laughing all of the sudden. They both looked at each other and shouted, �IT WAS THE DAMN PEBBLE'S FAULT!� And broke into hysterics again. �They�ve gone off the deep end,� Krillin remarked simply. �And it was YOUR pebble!� Gohan accused. �Yeah, but it was YOU who wanted to go swimming!� Christine said quickly. �WHAT in Kami�s name are they TALKING ABOUT?!� Vegeta half yelled/half asked. �I don�t think you want to know�� Chi-Chi said, having a pretty good idea. �Will you tell me, Chi-Chi?� Goku asked. �Um� later, okay?� �Okay!� By this time Gohan and Chris were both on the floor with laughter. �Whatever it is must be funny as hell�� Yamcha wondered out loud. Gohan stood up and offered his hand to Christine, who accepted it. He pulled her off the ground and picked her up, carrying her in his arms. She wrapped her own arms around his neck. �What are you doing, Gohan?� She asked. �I was thinking that maybe we could get to know each other again,� he said suavely. Christine giggled� �Fine, but just remember that YOU started it this time.� They both laughed and Gohan carried her out of the room. Everyone turned to look at Chi-Chi. Krillin spoke up� �I think I have a good idea of what they were talking about now.� Vegeta grunted his response and all the other men smiled to themselves. But Goku looked around with a questioning look on his face. �I don�t get it.� Everyone laughed as Vegeta shouted "Kakarott, you idiot!" *** I hate you Megan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* *Seriously, I do not really hate Megan. |
