But was that really any way to live?
"Maybe it's time to step out a little further." Gohan encouraged. "As enlightening and fulfilling as the hermit life can be, our world has much to offer. Not to mention to see what's out there in order to fully appreciate why I like it here better."
Gine looked at him for a long moment. She never really thought of that idea, and it did make sense. How could she know what she liked most of this cozy place if she was missing out on other sights of Earth? Since this place was an unknown paradise to her once. The Info Dump on Planet Vegeta never did justice to how peaceful this planet was, so who knew what else was out there? And if Kakarot's experiences were anything to go by, untold wonders awaited at every corner.
Besides, she couldn't say no to Kakarot. She loved seeing him happy, and if going to this silly tournament was the price for that? Then who was she to start saying no now? Maybe there might be some strong warriors who could surprise her and bring a challenge for her son. Could be entertaining and educational...
"I guess you are right." She said to herself more than to him, but Gohan smiled at how she came to this conclusion too.
"I'm glad you see it that way." He said as he got up and stretched. "Well, I'll go for a stroll before turning in."
"Okay" Gine nodded nervously, but Gohan walked up to her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"It will be fine my dear, you have nothing to worry about. After all we are only rooting for your boy." Gohan said gently to her.
Gine looked back at him, tensed then exhaled some of her stress. She trusted him. He saved them. If what he says is true...
"I believe you." She said, squeezing his hand on her shoulder.
Gohan smiled brightly, then walked outside, replacing the door over the entrance while Gine sat alone at the table.
"Could be fun." She said to herself.
Two days later, they made it to Papaya Island. Kakarot swam the whole way while his mother flew over him and Gohan rode the Nimbus, stopping only to ask for directions from a very astonished crew of an oil tanker.
Now he was sprinting down the dirt roads into the streets of the town while she and Gohan flew above him, Kakarot clad only in the skins of a tiger killed while making landfall.
"C'mon, Mom, we have to hurry!" Kakarot shouted as if to get them to go faster. "Or else I won't be able to register!"
"Are you sure you don't want a lift with the Nimbus?" Grandpa Gohan playfully asked the obvious solution. The fact that the Nimbus and his mother flying had completely went over his head.
"No thanks!" Kakarot breathed while running as fast as he could. "No cheating!"
Gine really admired how much her son stuck to his training, but with how much he wanted to not miss this tournament he seemed to have reached an impasse.
"Right, then we have no time to lose!" Grandpa Gohan chuckled.
On the last long stretch of road lined with trees, they came across a red bricked wall and an archway with a small crowd of people. "HEY!" Kakarot called out.
Up ahead an old man in a black suit and hat turned to them.
"There he is!" He called out, the rest of the group that Gine didn't recognize almost burst out cheering seeing her son. But she immediately recognized the blue haired girl as Bulma.
"HE MADE IT!" A blonde-haired girl said, whom Gine thought looked awfully mean looking. Kakarot gave one last leap forward and closed the distance to the group in an instant.
"Hey everyone, long time no see!" He cheerfully greeted the group. As Gine and Gohan landed behind him, she took in the gathering of her son's friends as they started to catch up with him.
Gine looked at the people she had only heard of in her son's stories. The way he described them made them seem like the best kind of people imaginable, but she figured that his naivety gave her the best version of them. Seeing them interact with him now like they were the best of friends somehow made them seem like as he told her. She felt so proud that her son found good comradery with these people, the company
she never found amongst Saiyans in her old life.
