Chapter 1
It was a typical summer morning at the Daimaou's place. Shiba was
in the kitchen making pancakes for breakfast. Piccolo emerged
from the bedroom, wearing only his white boxers. He slowly walked
into the kitchen. He was still half asleep so he had trouble
walking straight. He walked to his wife and watched her make
pancakes. She had already made a large pile of 14 pancakes, on a
plate beside her. After she finished making her 15th pancake, she
turned to face Piccolo,
"What? Never saw me make pancakes before?" she asked
sarcastically.
Piccolo gave Shiba an evil smile then leaned over to kiss her.
Shiba continued her cooking.
"Where's Hiroshi?" he asked while taking a stretch.
"He's still sleeping."
"I'm going to wake him up. I don't want him to be late for
school, again." Piccolo walked up the stairs to Hiroshi's
room.

Hiroshi was no doubt still sleeping and dreaming. It was a
mysterious dream, of visions of his
past present and future. When Piccolo entered his son's room, he
saw CDs, magazines, papers,
clothes, etc. scattered everywhere like a hurricane just past.
Piccolo looked at his room in
disgust, as he walked to Hiroshi. Hiroshi was twitching and
turning, hating the visions he saw.
Piccolo shook him slowly at first, but then faster and harder.
"Hiroshi! Hiroshi! Wake up!" Piccolo yelled not
realizing how loud he was. Hiroshi opened his eyes and was
relieved to see his dad.
"Ohaiyo." Hiroshi greeted his dad, smiling. Piccolo
gave his son an annoyed look.
"Hiroshi I thought we talked about your room already.
"Piccolo said in a low voice. Hiroshi scratched his head
"Um mm . . . "Hiroshi spoke a little timid. He looked
up and saw his dad with crossed arms.
"(Sigh) You better get a move on kid, school starts in half
an hour." Piccolo turned and walked out the door. Hiroshi
spun his head around to see a digital clock on his desk. It read
7:30am. Hiroshi muttered to himself,
"Dang it!" Hiroshi quickly got up and dressed into his
Orange Star Highschool uniform.

Hiroshi skate boarded to school and arrived just in time before
the bell rang. He was glad that it was the last day of school
till summer vacation. He entered the classroom and saw Gohan,
Videl and Ami by the window. Gohan gave Hiroshi a high-five.
"Hey Gohan, hi girls."
"Hey." The girls answered sweetly.
"You're not late today." Gohan said in a joking way.
"Yeah." Hiroshi replied, " Right when it's the
last day of school."
"Too bad." Videl giggled, "Hey, are you performing
at assembly again?" she pointed to the guitar case by
Hiroshi.
"Fortunately--" the school bell interrupted him. The
assembly was about to begin. They walked out of the class to the
crowded hallway.

"Kamehameha!" Shiba launched a powerful beam at
Piccolo.
Piccolo dodged Shiba's attack and with an attack of his own. He
created a ball of Ki energy in his fist and shot it at Shiba. She
quickly cocked her head to the side and missed the attack by a
hair. The ball of energy hit the wall of the Gravity Gym creating
smoke. The two fighters continued their sparring in the smoke.
They landed on the floor when the smoke began to subside.
Suddenly, Piccolo got a nasty headache. He held onto his head,
facing the floor. It felt as if someone was pounding on his head
continuously. The headache slowly disappeared after a few
minutes. Shiba was standing by Piccolo,
"Are you O.K.?" Piccolo lowered his hand and threw a
couple punches at Shiba.
"Surprise." Shiba fell on her butt,
"That wasn't fair! You tricked me!"
'I wish I was' Piccolo thought to himself.
"Who ever said that fights were fair?" Shiba got back
on her feet,
"Oh, you want some of me?" Shiba quickly ran behind
Piccolo and kicked his ankles. Piccolo fell onto the gym floor.
Shiba pressed on Piccolo's chest, preventing him from getting up.
She bent down to kiss Piccolo on the lips. He smiled and gladly
returned the kiss. ______________________________________________________________________________
Vegita was training outside to enjoy the good weather. He made a
habit of only using the Gravity Room for bad days. Bulma sat at
the picnic table reading a pamphlet she got in mail. She found
something that interested her and called her husband.
"Hey Vegita, come here for a sec." Bulma called out,
while still looking at the pamphlet. Vegita did a few more Ki
blasts before walking to her.
"What do you want woman?" Vegita asked in a mean voice.
"I read something in this pamphlet that just might interest
us." Bulma read the pamphlet, " The brand-new hotel
Aloha Paradise' has completed building in Hawaii. Without
the help of the Capsule Corporation manager, Bulma Briefs, they
wouldn't have been able to build the hotel. So they invite us and
other friends to stay at the hotel for a week. How bout it
Vegita?"
" Hmm . . ." Vegita crossed his arms, "Why not, I
need a place where I can train day and night. And since Hawaii's
night temperature is pretty warm it'll probably work for
me."
Bulma looked at Vegita a little surprised. She was expecting him
to say, "I' don't need to listen to your stupid ideas"
or "your wasting my time."
"Re . . . really?!" Bulma said in a surprising voice.
"What? Do you want me to say no?"
"Oh no, that's great! I was thinking we should make this a
vacation for couples only. That means Trunks or Goten can't
come."
Vegita let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't understand kids and
their playful minds, and so he had some very short tempers with
them.
"And of coarse we'll have to bring Goku and the other."
Bulma added
"What?! Why bring that block head Kakkarot and his weaklings
with us?" Vegita complained. Bulma gave Vegita the look.
Vegita gladly returned it and went back to his training.

The dismissal bell rang and Hiroshi woke up from his Math class.
Math is just one of the many subjects he hates. The students ran
out the door, eager to get out of school. The four friends,
Gohan,Hiroshi, Videl and Ami headed for a fast food restaurant to
get some ice cream. Then they talked as they walked each other
home.
"Thank Kami it's over!" Hiroshi said, while taking a
lick out of his ice cream.
"Tell me about it. I practically fell asleep through
the whole math class." Videl said supporting Hiroshi.
"Practically?!" Hiroshi said sarcastically, "I
actually slept through the whole class and that teacher didn't
even notice!"
"How could you sleep in that class?" Ami asked in
disbelieve.
"Yeah," Gohan agreed, "parts of our grades depend
on that class."
Videl & Hiroshi said at the same time, "You're both
straight A students!"
Gohan gave them a fake smile, "Maybe if you pay attention to
classes you'll do a lot better."
"It's hard to pay attention when they're so boring."
Videl argued.
"Just forget that it's boring and make the best of it."
Ami advised.
"Easy for you to say," Videl talked back.
"Chick fight! Chick fight!" Hiroshi called out. Ami and
Videl gave Hiroshi an evil galre. Hiroshi sank back saying,
"Uh, I mean, uh.(Cough, cough)Mmmm, cold ice cream.

When Hiroshi returned home, his mom was on the phone. She saw
Hiroshi and waved to him and he waved back. Hiroshi ran to his
room and threw his backpack down, only taking his guitar. He went
into the Music Room where he practiced his songs/music. He
began to play Cha-La-Head-Cha-La'

Piccolo was in the Gravity Gym meditating until he heard the
music from upstairs. He walked his way into the kitchen and Shiba
had just hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" he asked
"It was Bulma. She asked us to go to Hawaii with
them."
"And whose them'?"
"Ummm . . . Vegita, Goku, Chichi and them, you know. She
asked us to come over tomorrow for a meeting about this."
Piccolo shrugged and went outside where it was quiet. He heard
the various guitar rolls getting quieter as he walked away into
the sunset.
