for Gohan's celebration.
<br />
<br />
"We mustn't forget the lanterns," said the beef devil. "Somewhere in the castle I have a whole room full of really big ones that look like fireflies and even blink ..."<br />
ChiChi watched them go, put the last bowls on the tray and sighed. Her father had a really good cook from whom she had learned to cook herself, but she was the only one who knew how Gohan's favorite dishes had to be prepared in detail. It would be best if she took care of it right away, just as she knew her son, he had thought of everyone else, just not of himself .....
<br />
<br />
........
<br />
<br />
Frowning, Piccolo watched on the radar as the next Dragon Ball moved north from where it had been a second before. Had anyone discovered this Dragon Ball before him? Was someone looking for the seven balls?
<br />
Determined, he flew in the same direction at top speed to intercept the Dragon Ball. Whoever it was, he would get the Dragon Ball from him, no matter what the cost .....
<br />
<br />
.......
<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Gokou and the cow devil had hung up all the garlands, flags and lanterns.The stands for the music group and the speeches were also ready. There were benches and tables for guests and a buffet. All that was missing were the tablecloths and the flowers, but it was too early for that.
<br />
<br />
"Maybe we should have invited Vegeta too," Gokou mused, while he helped his father-in-law to clear away the remaining boards and tools.
<br />
"Oh what," said the beef devil and locked the tool shed again. "You've really invited enough other guests. Lots of children from the area will also come so that Gohan has a few playmates. Can you imagine Vegeat's lousy mood when a couple of the little ones offend him?"
<br />
<br />
Gokou tried to imagine what Vegeta would do if a cheeky boy shot peas at him or threw a lasso over his head while playing cowboys and Indians. With Vegeta's explosive temperament, that would be a catastrophe.He shook himself. "You're right, this is not for a loner like Vegeta."
<br />
<br />
"What worries me more is the weather," said the beef devil and pointed to the sky. When they started the final preparations, not a cloud had been seen. In the meantime, however, heavy black thunderclouds had come.
<br />
"Maybe it is better if we take the lanterns off again," said Gokou. "A heavy shower is definitely not good for you."
<br />
<br />
"I doubt we can still do it," sighed the beef devil. The first lightning flashed across the gloomy sky and the first heavy drops fell on the leaves of the trees.
<br />
“We'll see!” Gokou dashed off and the beef devil could barely follow him with his eyes. Within a few breaths, Gokou had fetched all the lanterns from the trees and piled them in a corner of the covered stage where the rain could not harm them.<br />
<br />
"Well done, Gokou!" Laughed the beef devil. "Let's go to the castle before we get wet and ChiChi scolds us again."
<br />
<br />
The two just made it. As soon as they had entered the great hall, the sky opened all the locks and it poured like buckets.
<br />
<br />
"That went just fine!", Laughed Gokou. His stomach growled loud and clear. "Besides, it's lunch time anyway."
<br />
<br />
As if on cue, ChiChi came towards them from the kitchen. "The meal will be ready in a minute, Gokou. Please have a look at Gohan, he's probably already hungry."
<br />
"I'm pleased to do."
<br />
<br />
But when Gokou opened Gohan's door, the room was empty. The exercise books and books for the math problems lay neatly stacked there, but no Gohan far and wide.
