Dragon Ball Harmony Part 1: Response to a Need

It was Gohan's first day back at school, or at least back from skipping classes all semester.  Gohan had been skipping classes to meet with Piccolo. However, Gohan's mother, Chi-Chi found out about his "delinquent acts" and decided to ground him from everything until his schoolwork was done, but what Chi-chi didn't realize was that the last few months after the Tournament have been very hard on him, the battle with Cell, nearly eight months ago took his father away, and more recently, his fight with Bojack and his crew gave him an unhealthy lust for battle, the streak lasted for about 3 months, throughout those months, Gohan has been skipping classes to hang out with Piccolo, Krillin, Bulma, and Master Roshi.

Chi-chi walked in on Gohan putting on the clothes from his battle with Cell.  Immediately after, she shouted at Gohan, only for Gohan to respond by shouting back, they began shouting at each other about delinquency and school and hanging out with Piccolo, suddenly Gohan said, "What would Dad say?"  Chi-chi burst into tears and began crying, "I'm sorry, Mo-."  a loud slap rang out through the forest around their house.  Gohan was dumbfounded.  Did mom just slap me? he thought.  Chi-chi's face changed into the face of regret.  "Gohan, I-, I'm sorry."  Gohan charged through the solid mahogany door, smashing it to pieces on the way out.  I'll never come back, Gohan thought, Never, never come back!

Piccolo, was standing on a large pillar of rock, his large ears picked up the sound of crying, and he sensed the energy of good friend  moving towards him, Piccolo looked down to see the 11-year-old Saiyan that  defeated Cell, sniffling like the the wimpy little boy he was when he was six.  "Piccolo."  said Gohan.  "What is it Gohan, why are you crying?" said the Super Namek.

"I want to train with you for a while, if that's alright with you."

"Sure, Gohan, you're always welcome."
