Dragon Ball – Next Generation
Chapter 1 – Friends forever
Friendship. Love is not love/ that alters when it alteration finds. So wrote Shakespeare. Your true friend loves you come what may. It is the love and friendship your friend has for you that matter most. Any change of circumstance matters little to the deep love shared. Friendship is to be treasured like a jewel. If jewels are lost they can be replicated. But a true friend cannot be cloned. Value your friendship. It will pass the test of time. Once true, always true. Such is a real friend. A true friend cares for you at all times. Even when the going is bad, your friend will stay with you with unwavering love and affection and as much care and concern. Likewise, even if you are not in physical proximity with each other the friendship with a true friend does not wane. Space and time do not matter in true friendship.
In our interactions with people we make many friends. We enjoy the company of our friends; in fact that is why they are our friends. We influence our friends, and likewise our friends influence us. Friendships therefore have a great bearing on our life. That is why we must be choosy when we make friends, because we want long lasting true friends whom we may trust and who, in turn, can trust us. Friendship calls for loyalty. If you cannot be loyal to your friends, you will lose them. In a real friendship that has matured over time, there are not even any expectations between two friends. You love your friend whatever may happen and you love not for any reason or to get anything in return from your friend. And this is the sentiment shared by your friend too. Such a friendship is a real friendship and it gives true joy and contentment. For six individuals their friendship had been growing for as long as they have known each other! Their friendship was strong, because hey were always there for each other, from the moment they all met one another, they were there to help and care for each other. These kids, stronger then they were before…..especially now their all grown up.
Goten - A fun-loving and kind-hearted young man like his father. However, thanks to his mother's structured upbringing, he tends to show more common sense and proper manners than his father. He is also somewhat mischievous, due to being influenced by his best friend Trunks. Goten is a smart and handsome 22 year old young adult and was in the skits of becoming a lawyer! Chichi was so proud of her baby boy and he was happy! He thought the idea of putting away criminals the lawful way was great! Though he still preferred to catch them himself! He was still a hero to the city and his family.
Trunks – A sweet and caring like boy like his mother but quite cocky and stingy just like his father, as well as mischievous, most likely due to the fact that he had enjoyed the luxuries of peace, he is now a successful scientist and president of capsule corp. Bulma was still the main face of the business however Trunks was in the process of becoming next in line, even though he's 23 years old he was very mature for his age, Good looking and smart and strong, always thirsted for a good fight and bringing justice. He always made time to spend time with his family and friends, but mainly for his lady friends.
Marron – The daughter of Krillen and android 18. She had short blonde hair and was now 19 years old. She was still in college studying to be a teacher and she was in the process of graduation very soon. She was always a gentle soul, her sweetness and kindness were always obliged however if you got her riled enough she would defiantly show you who's boss, she had her mother's and father's strength combined and she was defiantly not a girl you'd want to mess with on a bad day. She always loved to be with her family and of course her two closest friends.
Pan - An extremely confident 15 year old who is extremely independent for her young age, flying around the world without the accompaniment of any family or friends, showing little fear in the face of danger, although she will display behaviour usual for her age, such as crying over losing at a fair game. She had the same courage he father and grandfather possess and her grandmother's and mother's temper. Pan was still in school just like her best friend Bulla and her Boyfriend Uub. They were all on the verge of finishing and about to begin the rest of their lives. Pan had always wanted to travel the world and see where it would take her.
Bulla - A cheerful and eager to please young girl, But she can be headstrong, Brave, and intelligent, similar to her mother. She has always been known to not be afraid of conflict and battling evil. Her priority of protection was her family and her friends. She would always be there for whoever needed her. She was also 15 years old and had the ambition to be a scientist/inventor just like her mother, although the idea of her wanting to fight evil still had a hold over her. She had her father's fighting urges and always needed to blow off steam every now and again, but would never mean to injure someone seriously. Her heart was too good and pure.
Uub – A very timid young man, despite his amazing power, becoming frightened at someone's slight expression. However, after training with Goku for many years, he becomes a confident fighter, wanting to make sure all evil is vanquished. He is also 15 years old and has been good friends with Goten and trunks for a long time. He is also in a relationship with pan and couldn't be happier! He has also been training with Goku and had plans on opening his own Dojo in the near future, creating Goku's legacy, though Goku thought it's a great idea he said he's be happy to contribute To his student's future. Especially since he was in a relationship with his granddaughter.
Together they were all an unstoppable team! Their friendship was so important to each of them and they could not pick a better family of friends.
Now That the earth was once again peaceful and that Goku and Piccolo had returned home, everyone was overjoyed! Especially Now that Goku wasn't a child anymore, he was back to his grown self, and back to the same age as chichi, Bulma and the others. He was glad to be home at this time of peace, they were all having a barbecue at capsule corp. where there was plenty of food, music and under a bright sunny day. Oolong, Krillen and Yamcha were busting moves on the dance floor as the others sat around talking and laughing.
'Well I would like to propose a toast' Bulma raised her glass as did the others 'To Goku and Piccolo, Glad to have you home with us and that the world is safe once again' Bulma smiled as everyone clanged glasses
'Thanks Bulma, as fun as being a little kid was, I'm glad to be an adult again' Goku laughed giving his signature look
'So am I' Chichi whispered and winking as he smirked at his gorgeous wife and kissed her sweetly
'Well then Kakarott, it seems we'll have plenty of training together now that your grown up again, I hope being a child for too long has not made you weak' Vegeta smirked
'Don't you worry about that Vegeta' Goku laughed
'Well buddy I'm just glad to see you back safe and sound' Krillen said sitting down with the others
'And I'm glad you finally stopped dancing' 18 rolled her eyes as everyone laughed
'And you too Piccolo! I can't tell how much I missed you while you were dead' Gohan smiled
'Thank you Gohan, I appreciate your concern' Piccolo nodded
'He's serious, we all missed you, you're a huge asset to our family, we didn't make you Pan's godfather for nothing' Videl smiled as he did
'It's great to be home! Back with Chichi and Gohan and Goten' Goku smiled
'Speaking of which, where is Goten?' Chichi looked around
'Yeah and where's Trunks?' Bulma asked
'I don't see Marron anywhere either' Krillen said
'Nor pan. Where'd she go?' Gohan asked
'Hey where's Uub too?' Goku asked
'And Bulla! She better not be making trouble!' Vegeta huffed
'Oh knowing if their all together no doubt there will be trouble' Yamcha laughed
…
Inside Capsule corp there were to book forts on side of each room! Built like castles as a familiar face popped out of her tall tower! Pan stoof standing atop a fort made of books and she points dramatically. At the opposite tower
'BULLA! UNLEASH OUR FURY ON THE ENEMY!' She yells as Bulla jumps into the air behind her holding a book in her right hand.
'Fire in the hole!' She yells and throws the book, 'How to Arm Yourself' at the other book fort on the opposite side of the room where it lands with an anticlimactic thud. A moment later half of the enemy fort collapses outward, revealing a startled Goten, Trunks and Uub
'Sir! We've been breached!' Uub yelled
'Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!' Goten smirked
'Take no prisoners!' Pan yelled as they charged at each other fighting
'I never knew books could be so much fun!' Marron laughed receiving a kick from Trunks
'You're letting your guard down chipmunk cheeks' He teased
'STOP CALLING ME THAT' She threw a punch but he dodged knocking into his sister as she gave him a punch to the hip
'Take that brother!' She said as she was then placed in a head lock by Goten
'GOTCHA!' He said giving her a noogie
'AHHH GOTEN LET GO!' She yelled and flipped him over as she lay on top of him!
'Ahh Bulla!' He yelled
'Got you!' She smirked and gave him a kiss on the lips and got up to help pan who was fighting Uub!
'Come on Babe! Show us your moves' Pan smirked as Uub went to throw a punch but she dodged quickly and gave him a kick to the back! But he managed to give her and elbow punch to the face
'Boys! Take them down!' Trunks ordered
'Girls! Bring em to their knees! Pen yelled
'KAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE….HAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE…HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' Goten Blasted
'KAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE….HAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE…HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' Uub screamed
'GALLLLLLLLLLLLICK GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN…..FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!' Trunks fired
'KAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE….HAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE…HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' Pan Shouted
'KAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE….HAAAAA…MEEEEEEEE…HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!' Marron Cried
'GALLLLLLLLLLLLICK GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN…..FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!' Bulla Yelled
They all blasted out of the building and all fell in the garden, still holding their ground, The boys smirked with one another, as the girls just sniggered and got in to their fighting stances
'Ladies, Give up now, your not gonna succeed' Trunks smirked
'You clearly underestimate out power…gentleman' Pan come-backed
'Your all gonna lose…..tragically' Goten clenched his fists
'Your words don't threaten us' Marron held her ground
'Enough words, Now the real battle…begins, prepare to fail' Uub sneared
'Not before we make you beg for mercy' Bulla smirked
'BRING IT ON!' The Boys yelled
'OH WE WILL!' The girls yelled back
'CHARGE!' The boys exclaimed
'ATTACK!' The girls charged
'CHILDREN!' They all froze in their spots and laughed nervously at the parents who were giving them a stern look
'HAHAHAHA' The kids just started laughing hard and looked to their families
…
'Well I didn't think we'd get grounded' Uub laughed
'Why do we always get grounded?' Pan laughed
'Because they have nothing better to do' Bulla giggled sitting on Goten's lap
'But really just because we sparred?' Marron wondered
'Aww who cares, they'll forget we're grounded by tomorrow' Trunks said
'How can I still get grounded at age 22 though?' Goten huffed
'Aww you're so cute when you pout' Bulla teased kissing his cheek
'Your cute when you tell me I'm cute' Goten rubbed his nose with hers making her giggle but then they both had a pillow thrown at them
'Utter one more word and it will be a book!' Trunks gagged
'You're just jealous because you don't have a girlfriend!' Marron teased
'Yeah and you don't have a boyfriend because of those chipmunk cheeks!' He smirked and got a pillow thrown at him
'STOP CALLING ME THAT!'
'Make me!' Trunks smirked as she threw a pillow at him OW!'
'you said it!' She laughed
'Honestly, our friends huh?' Uub laughed and had an arm wrapped around Pan'
'Yeah but it's our family' she sighed kissing his cheek.
'Guys…I can't imagine a better team of friends than this one' Marron smiled
'I agree. If it weren't for this team I would not have fallen in love with this handsome guy' Bulla sighed as he held her close
'I love you To B. I can't imagine not having you, and of course not having you guys either, You've all been my life for so long and its like you have become my family' Goten smiled
'Its true, Your all dear to us, and we have our families to thank for making us so close' Trunks smiled
'As much as love you buddy, I love your sister more' Goten kissed Bulla on her lips as she happily accepted his kiss
'Stop annoying me!' Trunks hated seeing it, even though they were happy together, they both made plans to spend the rest of their lives together. And of course he was happy for them, his sister had such a sweet heart and Goten's heart was kind and true, they were made for one another. Goten had fallen in love with Bulla when they went to find the dragon balls together, Goten wanted to appear more handsome to get a girlfriend but Bulla told him he does not need to, he was amazing the way he was, Goten then looked at her and realised he was trying to improve himself for her, but she loves him the way he is, which is how their romance blossomed. They were never away from one another; Bulla was always a caring soul, putting other people's needs first, especially Goten's. Goten would always want to keep Bulla safe, she was the most important thing in his life and he wouldn't trade her fro anyone. He loved her. And she loved him, everyone believed there would be nothing that could tear them apart.
'You guys made me feel welcome to this group, and Pan I fell in love with you the moment I met you, so I agree, not better friendship group than this one.' Uub smiled
'I love you too Uub. Guys I want us to make a promise to each other' Pan said
'What promise?' Trunks asked
'That no matter where life takes us…..we remain friends…..forever and always' Pan smiled as they all looked at one another, Goten placed his hand out in the centre, Trunks placed his had over his, Pan also placed her hand in, As did Bulla, Then Uub and finally Marron.
'No matter what happens…..' Marron started
'No matter where we go…..' Uub continued
'From this day forth…' Pan smiled
'It shall be known right now...' Bulla looked to her friends
'Never alone, always together...' Trunks nodded
'Friends Forever!' Goten finished as they all heard a song on the radio and they all started singing along
Trunks: Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Marron: Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Goten: A singer in a smoky room
Bulla: A smell of wine and cheap perfume
G+B: For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on
All: Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
Pan: Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Uub: Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
U+P: Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
All: Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night
All: Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
All: Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
All: Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
All: Don't Stop!
They all looked at one another, from childhood, these kids have been there for each other, they were more than friends, and they felt like family. They all laughed and gathered in a group hug! They all looked at one another and nodded to their promise! This was a promise none of them would believe to break, that that they would always find a way back to one another. However…..time had a funny way of testing said promises.
