It was dark and his mother would probably yell at him when he came home, but he didn't care. Goten would rather hear his mother yell then cry. Today was the anniversary of the day that they had fought Cell, the day that his father had died.

Calling

"Why'd you have to die, Daddy."

And a voice

"Goten, what are you doing out here this late?" "Gohan?"

Just the fear of a child answers

"You shouldn't be out here. Mom will get mad if she finds out you're gone." "She was crying," Goten said in a whimpering voice. "She was looking at that picture of Daddy in the living room and crying." "Oh. Well Goten, this is a hard day for Mom." "I know, Daddy died today." Gohan was surprised, he didn't know that Goten knew the truth yet. "I wish I could make her not be sad anymore."

Wait, there's no mountain too great

"I wish that too, Goten." "Gohan, tell me what Daddy was like. Mommy never wants to tell me too much, I think it makes her sad. I want to know what he was like though."

Hear these words and have faith

Gohan was taken aback by this request. This was a painful subject to talk about, especially today.

Have faith

But he looked into those eyes, the same eyes that his father had possessed. So full of hope and innocence were they, it was impossible to resist them when they pulled you in.

He lives in you He lives me

"Dad, well he was..." He found that the description of his father was so infinite that he had nowhere to begin. Then he looked down at that face again and knew what he should say. "He was so happy, so carefree, and so...so kind, I guess."

He watches over Everything we see

"He was always concerned with the well being of the Earth. His life's mission was to protect it at all costs. That's why he died that day."

Into the water Into the truth

"So he really is the hero that Mommy says that he was." "Yes Goten. Don't listen to what anyone else tells you about the Cell fight. He's really the reason that we're all alive today." "But I thought that you beat him." "Yes, but I wouldn't have if it weren't for Dad." "I wish I could see him." "You can." "How?" "Come here, I'll show you something." Goten obeyed and followed his brother to the edge of the lake.

In your reflection He lives in you

"Whenever I want to see Dad, Goten, I just have to look at you." "What do you mean by that?" "Look at the water, I'll show you." Goten bent over and looked to the mirror image of himself on the shimmering surface. "Yeah, it's me. What about it?"

He lives in you

"Smile." Goten was confused but did it anyway. "There he is, Goten. There's Dad." Goten noticed the slightly pained expression in Gohan's voice. "You're exactly like him, Goten. You have his same happy-go-lucky attitude. It shows in your smile and eyes."

Oh he lives in me

"He was just like me?"

He watches over

"Yes, Goten. Mom and I see so much of him in you."

Everything we see

"Do I make Mommy sad then, too?" "No, no Goten. I mean maybe on a day like today when it's harder, but other then that never. In fact, I think that it makes Mom happy. Dad's gone, but when she sees you she can remember him."

Into the water Into the truth

"Dad was a great guy, Goten. Being just like him is something that you should be happy about."

In my reflection

"Am I making you sad today, brother? You've been gone all day."

He lives in you

Gohan looked down on the little boy who had his head bowed. The honest truth was that he'd just been avoiding everyone. He didn't want to see his mother's sad face and didn't want the pity of his friends. Somewhere, he'd forgotten how his little brother would react to this day. "You know Goten, I spent the whole day trying to forget Dad. Now I feel really glad that we had this talk." "That's good, brother. Hey, do you think Mommy would make us something to eat? I'm hungry!" "Ha ha ha!" "What's so funny?" "Noth...nothing, Goten. Let's go home."
