   Almost one year. One year since he had lost his father. His life was now calm and peaceful, but to his amazement, he missed the adventure he had shared with his father and friends. His new baby brother, now a few months old, had brought him some excitement, but he missed his dad.
   He had worked hard at his studies. It was mainly to keep him busy. He enjoyed his life but he often found himself dreaming of the life he used to have.
   As he sat by the river, he found his thoughts once again drifting back to the Cell Games. He remembered how he felt when he fought Cell, how he felt when Android 16�s head was crushed, when his father sacrificed himself. His father�s memory occupied most of the time he spent thinking. His life seemed so much more empty without his father near.
   A bright flash in the sky interrupted his thoughts. A ship appeared as the light faded and crashed into the earth nearby. The dust from the impact lingered in the air for awhile. Through the shadows he could see movement, but he couldn�t sense a ki.
   As the dust near the ground began to blow away it revealed old, worn-out boots and a tattered skirt. The dust continued to fade as a small blue coat and orange hat came into view. The figure began to walk towards him and as it got closer he noticed the Capsule Corp. logo on both the jacket and the hat. The brim of the hat shadowed the face, hiding it, but he could see small wisps of light blue hair peaking out from beneath the cap.
   The figure stopped right in front of him and knelt down so they were face to face. The shadow of the hat lifted to reveal the face of a young woman with soft pink eyes.
   �Are you Gohan?� she asked.
   �Yes,� he nodded as she threw her arms around him and collapsed.
