It has now become a little shorter, but the last one was all the longer ...
farewell
Gohan was lying in his bed. It was already evening. Yamcha, Krulilin, Muten Roshi and also Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks had gone home after dinner. Only Piccolo remained. His father had asked him if he wanted to stay with Piccolo for a year, but Gohan didn't know what to think of it. His mother's silence didn't help. Every time she looked at him, tears came to her. Gohan turned in his bed and looked at his brother. How could one leave such a seemingly difficult decision to him? When he was only four? He didn't know what to do. Sure, he had no problem with Piccolo, on the contrary: somehow he liked him, although he had only known the Namek for a good day. He didn't think it was bad, he was almost looking forward to it. Just why was his mother so saddened?Gohan started from his thoughts. In the hallway, Chi Chi and Son Goku came up the stairs. (The bedroom was also upstairs.) "Chi Chi! Calm down! Just because Son Gohan is with Piccolo doesn't mean that you won't see him again!" "Oh yes? And who guarantees me that ? Do you remember your fight with Piccolo? He wanted to KILL you! "" That is already history! "" You think! Who tells me if he treats Gohan sensibly? Maybe he is just pretending to be so kind now to take your son from us? To take OUR son from us! "" Please think about what you are saying, Chi Chi. Piccolo is no longer the same. He has changed! Yamcha, Krulilin and Muten have that too Roshi said ... "" I DON'T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY! "Chi Chi was already screaming her throat out of her throat. She was beside herself with anger, fear and also sadness. How could Son Goku deal with the whole thing so lightly?"Chi Chi! Think about the boys! I bet we woke them up long ago!" Chi Chi looked past him, offended. “Come on, let's go to sleep.” Son Goku stepped over to Chi Chi and hugged her. That finished her off. She hugged him and started sobbing. They stood like that for a while and after Son Goku's T-shirt was quite soaked in one place, they quietly went into the bedroom. But no matter how quiet they were, that didn't change the fact that Gohan had overheard everything. Son Goten had not woken up, but Son Gohan could no longer sleep at all. He had to think. About Piccolo. Thought of what his mother had said about him, what his father had said about him. But none of that went well with the piccolo he had met here. Sure, he'd noticed that Piccolo had treated him fairly "coldly", but he wouldn't call it bad. He had felt much more how much effort Piccolo had made to give him a feeling of security.The longer Gohan thought about it, the more certain he was of his decision. He would go with Piccolo. After all, Son Goku had said that it would only be for a year and that he could come home whenever he wanted. While Gohan brooded, his eyes slowly closed ... And he fell asleep.

His things were packed. Everything was stowed in a capsule that Bulma had sent him and the capsule was safely in his breast pocket. (I couldn't think of a better word.) "And you really want to go?" Chi Chi asked her son. She tried one last time to keep him from leaving. But Gohan was convinced that he was doing the right thing and he nodded to his mother with a determined expression. (As determined as a four-year-old can only look.) Chi Chi smiled but couldn't hold back her tears. “Take care of yourself.” “I'll do mom.” He hugged her. Then he turned to his father.The latter knelt down in front of him, looked at him proudly and took him in his arms. “That you don't shame me, will you?” Gohan grinned. “I promise.” Piccolo viewed the event with mixed feelings. On the one hand, this whole "farewell ceremony" got on his nerves. On the other hand, he almost envied Son Goku and Chi Chi. But before he could even think about it, he shook it off. "Can we then?" he asked impatiently. "Yes, yes! Don't panic!" Chi Chi was angry. 'That idiot, doesn't he have any feelings? "You will handle it!" said Son Goku encouragement to his son. In a year we'll see you at the big martial arts tournament. He winked at his son. "In the end you have to tell me exactly how you fared!" interfered Son Goten. “You me too.” They started to laugh. “So guys, time to say goodbye.” Son Goku got up and stroked his children's black hair. Gohan walked over to Piccolo, turned and smiled."We'll all see each other again in a year!" "But I really want to hope." said Chi Chi sternly. Piccolo broke the thread of patience. `Who knows how long this will go on ... 'He picked up Gohan. "Take good care of him, Piccolo. Please." Son Goku looked Piccolo openly in the eye. This nodded barely noticeably. Then it was clear to Son Goku that he had not made a mistake. `Son Gohan is in good hands with hm. 'He smiled. Piccolo did the same and with Gohan in his arms he rose into the air and disappeared.
