Gohan sighed as he filled out yet another sheet of homework. Ever since beating Cell his life had been one big drag of school work. With his dad gone to Otherworld for good, the only ones in the house were Gohan and his mother and she was firm in her beliefs of making Gohan work hard to get through school. He had never minded school before, but with his dad gone it was all work and no play. Chi-Chi was not letting Gohan do anything remotely fun until all his homework was done. She especially didn't want him sneaking off with any of Goku's friends doing who knows what. Gohan had survived Cell and Chi Chi was making darn sure that Gohan didn't get into any more trouble. Gohan looked longingly out the window wishing he could just spend some time alone in the woods and maybe do a little fishing. He turned back to his homework and continued writing.
"Not having too much fun are you?" a voice suddenly said.
Gohan whipped around, looking for the source of the voice but couldn't see anyone. Gohan stood up and said, "Who said that?"
"I did my dear boy!" the voice spoke.
Gohan looked all around but couldn't see anyone. The voice suddenly became sharp as it said, "Look down boy, look down!"
Gohan looked down on his desk and saw a strange sight indeed. A tiny man, no bigger then a pencil eraser, was waving up at him. Gohan crouched down as low as he could focusing on the man. It wasn't easy since he was so small.The man bowed and said, "Good day to you lad! My name is Mixel the Imp and I'm here to help you!"
Gohan pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. This was just so strange. He turned back to the man and said, "How?"
Mixel laughed and jumped up, pulling off his top hat as he did so. A cane dropped out of the hat and Mixel jumped into the air, landing on the tip of Gohan's nose. Gohan's eyes focused in on the tiny man and he said, "Why, I'm going to give you a gift of course!"
Mixel waved his cane around and poked Gohan in the nose. The cane was surprisingly sharp and Gohan winced, a movement that knocked Mixel into the air. He laughed and twirled his cane, the tip erupting into an umbrella that let him glide safely to the ground. Gohan rubbed his nose and checked to see if he was bleeding. He wasn't. Mixel twirled his cane a bit and said, "There. A gift from me to you."
Gohand frowned and said, "But you didn't give me anything!"
"On the contrary!" Mixel said waving a finger. "I gave you exactly what you need. The gift I gave you will ensure that you can do what you want, when you want. And the best part is, nothing can make you change! Magic is greater than science after all!"
With a laugh Mixel launched into the air again, landing on Gohan's window sill. He turned back and said, "Just look deep in your mind and you'll find your new power. Enjoy!"
And with that, the minuscule man jumped out the open window and was gone. Gohan knocked himself in the head a little to make sure he wasn't just dreaming. But he wasn't. That imp really had given him something. Gohan closed his eyes and relaxed his mind. Almost instantly something glowed brightly in his mind. Gohan focused his attention around it and activated its power. Gohan opened his eyes to a big surprise!
