It was early morning in the Sons' house. Chichi stood in front of the mirror and would have loved to look away again immediately. She hadn't slept all night and now she could see the result in the mirror. She felt terrible, and not just because of the sleepless night. Her thoughts were with Lindsay, her daughter the whole time. She had been gone for 12 years now and Chichi knew that she was no longer her sweet little girl, but almost a grown woman.
A lonely tear rolled down her cheek. She just wanted to have her with her and know how she was doing.
She quickly wiped the tear away, forced a smile and got ready for the day, after all she had to prepare breakfast for her husband and son.
When Son Goku entered the house it smelled of the food that Chichi had prepared. He was home on time for breakfast, but it wasn't hunger that drove him, but fear of having to leave his wife at home alone today. Since he could not sleep, he went to train in the forest to get revenge one day.
When he entered the kitchen, Chichi and Son Goten were already sitting at the table. A short "morning" from everyone involved was enough today.
After half an hour Son Goten made his way to school, which he had absolutely no desire. He would have loved to go somewhere alone today, but that would have pissed off his mother. She has always attached great importance to education.
Lost in thought, he ended up in an alley to walk the rest of the way, where he met Trunks. He also only gave him a short "morning", which his best friend didn’t hold against him, as he knew what day it was today.
It wasn't easy for him either, because he missed Lindsay too. Not that it was just that one day, they missed her all the time, but today made the situation worse, because exactly 12 years ago today, Cold, the son of Freezer, came to earth to take her with him and that is exactly what he had made. None of the fighters were strong enough to defeat him and so everyone had to watch him kill Son Goku and take them with him.
Every search was unsuccessful and hope sank more and more as Son Goku was alive again after the fight against Buu and also searched unsuccessfully for her.
When the two entered the school grounds, Son Goten shivered all over his body. He looked around but couldn't see anything, so he went on thinking it was just imagination. So he did not see that he was being watched by a strange girl.
Meanwhile, Gohan was sitting in front of a pile of files in the hospital. However, his mind kept wandering. Actually, he was always a reliable doctor, which made his mother more than proud, but today he couldn't concentrate properly.Again and again pictures appeared before his eyes, pictures of his little crying sister, who probably didn't even understand the situation at the time, after all, she was only five years old.
Again and again he felt guilty because there was nothing he could do for her. They all underestimated him. Nobody suspected that he would be so much stronger than his father Freezer and his grandfather King Cold.
Son Gohan sighed briefly. All the brooding didn't work and so he went back to his work and even put in an extra shift to distract himself.
The class was pretty boring and so the day dragged on. Everyone tried to distract themselves in their own way. Chichi cleaned, Son Goku trained, Son Goten learned what he never or rarely did otherwise and Son Gohan worked in the hospital all day.
