Disclaimer- *Imitates Bill Ingvall* I just hate stupid people. They should wear signs that just say 'I'm stupid'.

Stupid Guy: Do you own DBZ?

Me: Here's your sign.

Summary-Hello, and welcome to 'Life Changes!' Yet another one of my what-if stories, what if Gohan went to 5th grade just after the Cell Games and wound up in Videl's class? Danger is coming…Mirai Trunks returns…can Gohan defeat the evil and win his rightful glory? And what about Goku?

Ages-See, I like to screw around with people's ages, so if you're not sure about my age deal, here goes!

Gohan, Videl, Erasa, Sharpener, Dende-9 or 10ish

All Adults: 24 or 25ish

Trunks: Around 9 months

Akane: (Remember, she's the spawn of T/L) Around 8 months

Goten and Marron: You'll have to read to find out.

Unwelcome News

"What!" Gohan yelped. He was standing in the kitchen with Chichi, who was cooking. "I can't go! I won't!"

"Gohan, I'm sorry, but it's the law," Chichi said. "You have to go to school."

"How can I!" he exploded. His anger was rising dangerously, almost to a point where he'd go SS. "How can I go to a school where everyone worships the ground that Hercule Satan walks on! Dad gave himself up for this planet, and for what!" Gohan kicked the table leg, not enough to break it, but enough to send it back a few inches. "So everyone can forget about him as soon as some fraud with an ego bigger than Vegeta's claims to have defeated Cell? If Dad were still around…" Then he stopped himself, seeing the tears on his mother's face.

"Oh, God, Mom!" He stopped ranting immediately. "I'm so sorry!" He hugged her as tight as he could, which was getting harder and harder to do as the new baby grew every day.

"It's okay, Gohan," she said, hugging him back. "I know how you feel…I feel the same way."

"Do you want me to finish up here?" Gohan asked after pulling back.

"Yes, that would be great," Chichi said, untying her apron and hanging it up. "I'll be in my room."

Chichi left the kitchen and walked down the hall, thinking about Gohan's words. 'Dad gave himself up for this planet, and for what! So everyone can forget about him as soon as some fraud with an ego bigger than Vegeta's claims to have defeated Cell?' Those words…so true.

She opened the door to her bedroom and shut it tight behind her. She ventured over to the bed and sat down on what had been Goku's side; the side close to the night table.

She stared at the pictured on the table. It was she and Goku on their wedding day; she all giddy and he nervous. Her hand faltered, but she picked up the picture and looked straight into it. She'd been so happy that day…

"You'll never be forgotten, Goku," she whispered, holding the picture against her heart. "I'll always remember you." Suddenly, she burst into sobs. Tears feel from her cheeks and onto the pillow, which she ignored and laid against.

"You were an angel, Goku!" she shouted. "And angels aren't supposed to die like that!"

If I wasn't the writer, I'd be crying right now. I think this is how Chichi and Gohan would've acted only around 6 months after the Cell Games.
