Toddler Terror
Quite a bit of time has passed since the incident, and things have gotten pretty normal. Gohan and I are now 2 1/2 years old. by the time Gohan and I were 1, we were walking and could at least speak a few words. I of course could speak whole phrases do toy past life's memories, but I pretend to be around Gohan's level.
I learned things I didn't know before about the timeline. for one, my and Gohan were born in Age 757. with this I can roughly calculate to the best of my ability how much time I have for things from my memory.
for instance, the start of Z should be in Age 761, since it's 5 tears after the end of Dragon Ball, and 4 years after our birth. Vegeta should arrive in Age 762, and the Frieza Saga should take place in that time as well. Trunks should arrive in either age 763, or 764, let's go with 764.
you can go on like this, but I'll stop. any way, Mom started us off by learning how to read and write, along with basic counting, and plus and minus. it was torture for me, well aside from the reading and writing, as that is a whole new system, but I played along. I made it so I was a bit ahead of Gohan, since it would play into my genius intelligence.
we went over the basics until we turned 2, and Mom started us on out education. As mentioned before, the reading and writing system is completely different from before. While to spoken language appears to be English, the written language is japanese for some reason.
Also, aside from math, I was learning completely new things. this world may have some things from my old world, like their own Olympics (Author: Look it up, Krillan mentioned the Olympics in Dragon Ball in the early episodes), almost everything from history, to literature, to even science is different.
So I didn't have much of a head start, starting from the same place as Gohan. But since I wished for genius intelligence, I still progress faster than Gohan. We get 4 hours off of studying every day, in which we can play. I sometimes sneak off to see my father train.
while I have no intention of training in martial arts, I do like to see my dad doing his motions. when ever he does a Kamehameha I get excited. what fan HASN'T wanted to make, or at least see a Kamehameha.
Ki still amazes me. in Dragon Ball, King Piccolo, who had a power level of around 260 if I'm not mistaken, turned a large city into a desolate crater for miles on miles, with on attack.
Dad should have a power level int he early 400s when Raditz comes. The only reason I can think of for why damage doesn't get to bad, is that fighters somehow manipulate the blasts to no cause such damage. How I don't know.
Anyway, as I watch dad train, I subconsciously memorize the movements and techniques he used. One day I hear my mother shouting. Not to uncommon, but I decide to check it out. I walk to their room, and listen through the door.

Chi-Chi POV
I can't believe this man!
Goku: Come one Chi-Chi, the training won't cut into their studying.
I know that, but I still don't want them training! For one, I know neither of out kids like the idea of fighting, or more specifically for Akira, she doesn't like the idea of HER fighting. I am observant, and I know my kids.
Gohan doesn't have a mean bone is his entire body. he's just not cut out for fighting. Plus he seems to like the idea of being a scholar. Akira on the other hand doesn't seem to have a set goal yet, but I can tell, while she likes to look at and see fighting, the idea of she herself fighting terrifies her.
I am pretty sure it has to do with the incident that happened, when she was 5 months old. after that she seemed scared of the idea of her fighting. I know that Akira is a very kind child, she may seem tougher than Gohan, but if you pay attention, you can see the truth.
the truth is that she is a lot smarter, and far more different than what you might think. I can see moments of wear she drops the mask, and in those moments, I see her sad interior.
she is sad, from what I don't know. Maybe that's she is hiding her true self from us? Maybe theirs something I don't know yet? I don't know, but one thing I for sure, she is my daughter, and if she doesn't like fighting, I am d**n well not going to let my oaf of a husband drag her into it.
Me: For the last time Goku, Gohan and Akira are not going to be fighters!
Goku: "But Akira always watches me when I am training, so she must at least like martial arts.
Goku seems kinda desperate. If only Akira didn't show an interest in Goku's training, then I doubt Goku would be trying this hard.
Me: "Goku, Akira may like watching you fight, but watching and doing are to completely different things. If you pay attention you could see that Akira is afraid of fighting. This so the last time we are having this conversation. Now go gather some wood, we are running low, and I want to make an extra big dinner tonight. "
Goku seems sad at not being able to train the kids, but at least mentioning extra dinner has gotten him to cheer up a little. Goku goes to the door, and I hear I little thump outside the door just as Goku is about to grab the handle. Goku opens the door and looks outside.
he shrugs and says
Goku: "nothing's here."
I know he isn't lying, but am slightly suspicious. I decide to forget about it, and head to the kitchen to get things ready.

Akira's POV
That was close. while listening in, I lost my balance, and feel to the ground, causing a thump. I managed to get our of view before Dad saw me, and slumped down on the wall.
the conversation between Mom and Dad runs through my head. Dad wanted to train us? although he seemed fixated on training me, due to me actually being interested in his training. I won't lie and say that martial arts does look cool to me, and I might even say I enjoy it, but only watching martial arts.
the incident had crushed any interest in actual fighting I might have had. I sigh, wondering what I am supposed to do with my life. I mean I don't have any goal or dream. I didn't think that far ahead. At first I wanted to be a fighter, it's why I make a few of my wishes, but now I'm afraid to fight and train.
I remain resolute that I am not need though. the others can get on fine without me, I'm not needed. I'm not a hero. I may like to help people, but I'm not a hero. Not by the standards of the greatest anime hero, All Might (in my opinion)
as he says butting in when you don't have to is the essence of being a hero. well I'm not needed, and I'm not going to butt it. I wonder what I can do for now.
I decide that I should at least train my tail. technically it's not advancing my power any, just getting rid a my tails weakness, so I'm fine with it. I sigh and stand up, walking to my room to continue my studies
