Disclaimer: No!!! I do not own!!!! Leave me alone!!!!!
This will be the last Chapter. I have a new fic up and it's getting good reviews. I'll try to make this long, hard, and a happy ending. * Holds in laughter* Yeah right BWAWAWA! I won't make it happy. BWHAHAHAHAHA!
I hate talking. I hate family reunions. I hate it when I can't see!
Pan wasn't blocking my vision like before, it was the stupid weather. My glasses kept on getting fogged up so I had to take them off. I only needed them for reading anyway. My dad carried my mom while I flew solo. It was a quiet flight and no one talked. My dad mumbled stuff to my mom and I still had that Nickelback song stuck in my head. I began to hum it again, just to get it out of my head.
My parents looked at me. I stopped and looked ahead, pretending it never happened.
" Let's stop here," my dad said pointing at some forest.
" Sure," I replied landing. " You left without saying goodbye, although I'm sure you tried. You called the house from time to time, to make sure we're alive but..you.weren't there..right.when...I.........."
I need a new song in my head. Anyway when we landed, we just stood there. I still had that song in my head, my dad was still talking to my mom, and Videl had the potato chips. What was I going to say? Luckily, my dad spoke first.
" Why did you leave just like that before we could talk," he said being serious. " I know you were mad, I can't blame you, but look at us now. We haven't seen you in ten years, you mail us your wedding video, and we haven't talked with each other till now."
Silence.
" We're very sorry sweetie," my mom said. " I just wanted someone in my life to be with. Your father was gone and I was alone."
" But you knew he was coming back," I said leaning on a tree.
" Gohan, he was gone for seven years," my mom said walking up to me. " I just wanted someone to talk to."
" Bulma wasn't good enough," I said.
I wasn't a teenager anymore. I grew up and I learned a lot. For one, if you have a soul mate you know never to leave that person's side. Your soul mate is the love of your life till death do you part but death was something permanent. Dad wasn't really dead, well he was, but he came back.
" So you needed to hold is what you are saying," my dad said to my mom. Not this again.
" I just wanted someone who wouldn't leave me," my mom said now turning towards my dad. " You could of least came back and not leave me waiting."
" But every time I was here, enemies were always a foot."
" Nothing happened those seven years that you were gone!"
" Cause I was never there!"
" Bull shit Goku!"
Why why why why why? No matter what, they would fight. This was more of a de-ja-vu than anything else. And they wanted to know why I left without reason. THIS is why.
" What do you mean Chi-Chi? How would you feel if I was going out with someone when I was dead?"
" I wasn't dating him!"
" You kissed him in front of everybody Chi-Chi! Don't you dare say you didn't date him cause that kiss showed you did. Tell me Chi-Chi, what else did you do?"
Instead of talking to me like they wanted to, they decide to put on a show. I had enough. I felt myself slowly losing control. One.two.three.
" More stuff than you ever did to me!"
" Like what Chi-Chi? Did you get him in bed so you can get your pleasure?"
Twenty-five.twenty-six.
" You were gone, I was alone! I dated him, happy? And he was a better kisser than you!"
" So besides Joe, who else did you get?"
Fifty...one...Two..
" IF YOU WANTED TO AGRUE IN THE FIRST PLACE, THEN WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE TO TALK TO ME!!!!! IF YOU HAVE ISSUES THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! GEEZ, AND YOU WONDER WHY I LEFT!"
I clamped my mouth shut with my hands. That came out unexpectedly. I felt my whole face turn red as both my parents looked at me.
" Sorry Chi-Chi."
" Sorry Goku.I love you."
" Love you too."
Oh yeah, now they love each other. I put my hands down at my sides but still had a hint of red on my face. All was silent. Since my dad broke the silence this time, he broke it again.
" Listen Gohan, we just want you to know that we care for you so much," he said looking at me while I looked at the flower in front of me. " We're sorry for putting you in the middle all the time. I guess your mother and I still have some talking to take care of."
Some talking, can we say Jerry Springer?
" Goku and I will talk later, right now we're here for you," my mom said putting her hand on my shoulder. " We want to be a family again. You're part of the family, and we love you. We may not be normal, we may not be human, but that's what a family is."
" Out of whack and totally out of control," I said looking at her. " Are you sure this is not my family at home?"
" The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree," my dad said. " Can we give it another try. Start anew and be a full family once more?"
Do I? Do I want to be put in the middle again? What if things change again and I have to be the hero? How come every time I'm around they always argue? Am I the reason why they argue all the time? Goten did say that as soon as I left they got back together. Lets do a little math here:
Mom + Dad = Me and Goten.
Mom + Dad + Me + Goten = Fighting.
Mom + Dad - Me + Goten = no fighting.
Me + Videl = Pan
Me + Videl + Pan + Mom + Dad + Goten = Error.
Conclusion: Child is safe away from parents.
" Just can't compute," I said doing some math in my head. " It just doesn't come out right. For some reason..I just can't..maybe if I...I.I...just can't."
My parents looked at me in with both mouths opened. For some reason, the answer I came up with seemed to be the right one. But people deserve a second chance. But they had their second chance. Should someone hate their parents so much that maybe they shouldn't have parents at all?
All this.stuff is really giving a headache. I can't stand to be around my parents anymore. I was so happy being away from them, I didn't even miss them that much. I sent them birthday cards, Christmas gifts, and whatever happened during the season. Sometimes I even forgot I had parents. But then something Videl told me a long time ago that really helped me make up my mind at this point.
***Flashback***
" Parents argue all the time Gohan," Videl said brushing Gohan's hair with her fingers. " They may be a pain all the time, but they're still your parents. You may not have the best parents in the world, neither do I, but you should still love them deeply."
" I wish they were dead," Gohan said resting his head on Videl's lap. " Then King Kai can put up with them and not me."
" King Kai will bring you along," Videl said tapping her finger on Gohan's nose. " Look at my dad, he lied to millions of people about Cell. I still love him, even though he's a low life weasel that deserves to be hung."
" Videl you're pulling on my hair!"
Videl released her grip and smiled weakly. She started brushing his hair again, which made him purr like a little kitten.
" Parents are parents and each parent loves their child, just like each child loves their parent. They might not be perfect, they may not be rich, but they always make mistakes on life itself. You may hate your parents, you might want them dead, heck, you might want them to turn into a spider so you can crush them and give them a slow painful death."
" Videl, you're scaring me."
Videl smiled and kissed Gohan on the nose.
" No matter what Gohan, they're your parents and your stuck with them for life. Even when you're dead, they will be there and stick with you all the way."
" What if I wish for immortality?"
" Then they will haunt you for the rest of your life."
" What if they got immortality, can I haunt them?"
" You'll be stuck with me."
" I think I rather have my parents haunt me for the rest of my life."
Videl put a pillow over Gohan's face.
" Wait till you're a parent Gohan, then you will see why parents argue a lot! But you'll be dead before you reach that point and I'll be right behind you!"
***End Flashback***
I think she did kill me with that pillow. Let's do the math again:
Parents + life = Error
Parents + Kids = happiness
Parents - 1 kid = Total chaos.
Conclusion: Parents love child, child loves parent, but child is happy without parents.
AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
" Let's make a deal," I said. " I'll come by and visit, at my own will."
" Or until Videl gets to you," my dad said.
" That too," I added. " But, lets make one thing clear. You're my parents, I love you deeply, but until you guys go to therapy I'm going to ignore you for another ten years."
" Therapy," my dad questioned. I banged my head on the tree.
" Marriage Counseling," I said. " Have a couple trips there, or go to the nut house but don't go there, I'm going to resister there. When you two fight it over and get things the way they were before, then we can try this family thing again."
" Oh Gohan I'm so happy," my mom said choking me. " Whatever it takes to get you back, then we will do it. You got yourself a deal!"
" Gohan," my dad asked.
" Yeah Dad?"
" Are we going to therapy, or a Marriage Consular? Are they the same thing but different people?"
*****
The rest of that day went well. I talk to my parents a bit more and finally got my hands on the chips. The day went by pretty fast and afterwards, we stopped by my parent's house. My room was till the same besides all of Goten's stuff lying around in the room. We talked, had some coffee, and Pan fell asleep on my lap.
Well, after a couple of months of Marriage Counseling, my mom and dad finally got things under control. I visited them a lot more and we're a family once again. I should say that Videl was very proud of me and rewarded me nicely. And me well, I did some therapy myself for a few weeks and been on drugs for the past month. All in all, things were going well and I was a complete family again.
Parents + Me = Happiness.
Well, what do you think? I guess it was a happy ending after all. This is the last chapter and now, I have to finish my other one I put up. I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to review.
DBZ lover and Super-Saiyan-Monkey, thank you for making me write more. If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't have made anymore chapters and this would have been a one chapter thing. And thank you to everyone else that reviewed this story. I feel so happy getting reviews, I'm gonna cry. * Begins to tear up* I-I-I-I-I-I-I- * Bursts into tears*
THANK YOU ALLL!!!!!!!!!!
My new story is What's this life for. Another Gohan torture fic and I'm getting good reviews off that. Well, bye for now!
