Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the cardboard box I call home. (Oh, and Vegito! He's mine okay!?... what? Is that weird?)
I've decided to give up on Watchtower... it doesn't really seem to have interested anyone much, but if people ask for me to finish it I might try to for you guys.. but for now I've come up with this new story and just had to get it down on paper.. or phone.. or computer? Or whatever digital device I use to eventually upload this.
Enjoy!

The petit girl walked outside, grabbing an apple as she went and slinging her rucksack over her shoulder.
"Bye mum, bye dad!"
"Bye sweetie," Her mother called back. "Have fun!"
"I will!" She shut the door behind her and ran down the road to a field where she slowed down to a walk as she crossed it, careful not to trip in a rabbit hole. When she got to the end of the field she pulled the hood of her black hoodie over onyx hair and the sleeves over her hands hoping that it would be enough protection against the prickly thorns of the overgrown path that she fought her way through. Yes, this would need to be cut back for tonight, but right now she wanted to see if the old den from when she was seven years old was still in good condition. She got halfway through the path, coming to a stop and wiping her brow. This was gonna be hard work. But as she stole a peek through some of the brambles of the sky she smile brightly.
'Whatever. It'll be totally worth it.'
She pushed through the path feeling much more determined but instantly regretted it. She hissed in pain as a thorn pierced her tail.
"Ugh, I could have sworn I tucked my tail under my jacket.. never mind." She continued to walk, although much more cautiously, until she finally reached the site.
It was a beautiful sunny day, and what made it better was that it was her birthday tomorrow and she was going to have a party and camp out at the old secret base with all her friends.. actually, her three friends. Her mother thought it was only two though, the only person who knew that her boyfriend was camping out with them as well was her older brother, Aiden. He seemed to be scared when she threatened him.. probably because he didn't have a tail.
She walked confidently into the den which was really just some wood platforms they'd put together as small kids with a lot of help from their parents. It was big though, and had two floors and stairs in order to reach the second floor. The only thing was that it had no walls, just two platforms with stairs and a small fence around the outside to stop them from falling off.
"It's been so long." She sighed softly before climbing the stairs to the second floor. She walked to the very middle of the platform and jumped and stomped her feet until she was satisfied it wouldn't break in the middle of the night.
"Well then," she said "it's time to clear the path a bit." She looked towards the old sword that lay next to their old favourite tree. They'd found it in the city in its red/orange sheath when they were on a road trip. Emily had insisted that they take it home as it looked like the sword of a person called Future Trunks from her favourite anime, Dragon Ball Z

"Tiffany! Oh my god, it's been way too long! Did you set this all up yourself?!" Ella cried, hugging her friend before looking at their old hideout. It looked like it was new, no ivy or moss or anything.. and she'd even built a fire pit with logs around it that they could sit on.
"Hi Ella," she giggled at her friend.. she was always sooo hyper. "All it needed was a little bit of cleaning up, and all I did that was slightly challenging was finding the right size stones for the fire pit."
"And the logs..? How did you move them?"
"Oh, um, Hunter helped." Tiffany gestured to her boyfriend who was walking up to them, grasping a bag.
"So, what's the precious cargo?" Ella asked.
"It's just a few drinks.." he trailed off, seeing Ella's eyes widen.
"You mean alcohol?" Ella cried
"Calm down Ella. I asked Aiden for them, they're actually quite weak. And anyway, we'll just mix the drinks with some lemonade or something."
"Yeah, no one wants a hangover on their birthday." Hunter added.
When Stevie finally turned up it was beginning to get dark so they had lit the fire and made sure they all had their torches and blankets with them as they sat around the fire pit.
The night wore on and eventually they decided to go to bed before it started to get light again. They all lay down, covered in many blankets and fell asleep quite quickly. All accept for Tiffany. She felt restless so she decided who for a walk. Putting on her hoody and snug brown boots over the clothes she had been wearing to sleep. She picked up her torch before descending the stairs to the bottom floor and turning it on. She ventured into the woods, not even slightly worried about getting lost as she came here as often as she could. The small girl knew the wood like the back of her hand. She came across her favourite steam and sat down leaning against a tree and staring out across the water. Although before Tiffany could even begin to let her mind wonder there was a bright flash above her and something seemed to fall from the sky. A person?
They had blue hair but it faded to black as they fell. Who is that?
Their tail unwrapped from their waist. A tail?
They landed a few meters in front of Tiffany with a thud. They were wearing a blue gi and an orange shirt underneath. They were also wearing white gloves and boots.
"Oh my god.." Tiffany didn't know whether to run or try to help this mysterious stranger out.
She cautiously knelt down beside him and put two fingers against his neck. She let out a small sigh of relief when she felt a pulse. "He's alive." She smiled ever so slightly. 'But,' she thought 'who is this guy? And how did he survive that fall?'
'He looks like Vegeta and Goku from dragon ball z.'
She looked above his head and did a double take; was that a halo?
'Of course that's not a real halo.' She told herself. 'He has a pulse.. he's still alive.' She knew she was only trying to convince herself that this wasn't real. 'I-I guess I'll try to wake him..'
Tiffany slowly raised her hands to his shoulders, feeling absolutely terrified. What if he killed her? He was much bigger than her and she was told to never ever hit anyone.. she shook these thoughts out of her head and tried filling herself with courage. All this did was make her shake him much harder than she was supposed to.
'Oh god, oh god, he's waking up..' she thought.
The mans eyes fluttered open and he instantly sat up, clenching his fists.
Tiffany fell backwards as she stumbled to get back.
The mans eyes narrowed at her. "Who are you?" He demanded.
Tiffany managed to stand up and she began to back away in fear. 'Oh god why didn't I just leave him?' Her back hit a tree.
"You're definitely no enemy." He scoffed.
"I-I.." she started but was cut off.
"Tiffany?! Are you out there?! This better not be some kind of stupid prank!"
The voice was distant but she could hear it clearly enough to know that it was Aiden. Why was he here? Tiffany was about to call out to him when the man appeared in front of her and covered her mouth. She tried to scream but she heard him sigh, exasperated.
"Look, I'm not gonna hurt you. You're obviously not gonna do anything and you're not a threat. Just help me out here, ok?"
Tiffany looked into the mans coal black eyes and for some reason she didn't feel very threatened anymore, although she was definitely still extremely intimidated. She nodded slightly.
"Good." He said and removed his hand.
"Who are you?" She asked, almost immediately.
"The name's Vegito. I'm the fusion of Goku and Vegeta."
Tiffany decided to pretend she didn't know anything.
"Who?"
He sighed. "Of course you wouldn't know them, even though we saved the word many times."
"R-right.. and where do you come from? Because as far as I saw you just appeared and fell from the sky."
As she said this Vegito seemed to go into deep thought. "I could have sworn I was just fighting that guy Zamasu..."
'Okay... Zamasu.. he must be a new villain.'
"Who?"
"Never mind."
"What is that halo above your head?"
"Wait, what?"
"That halo." Tiffany said, pointing above Vegitos head.
He looked up and caught a glimpse of it. "No way. I lost? Is that why I'm here?"
"What?"
"Am I dead?"
"N-no. I checked your pulse so you're still alive..."
"Of course.. you wouldn't know about other world, would you?" It was more of a statement than a question.
"Other world? Wh-"
"Tiffany! Thank god you're okay!" Aiden said running over. He stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw the man in front of his sister. "Hey, you! Who are you what are you doing here?"
Vegito turned around and smirked at Aiden. "Nice to see you again, too."
"Vegito?" Aiden asked
"The legendary." Vegitos smirk grew.
"Hold on!" Tiffany exclaimed. "You guys know each other?!"
Vegito shook his head. "No, not very well.. We met once when we were young children."
"He came from somewhere called the land of fusions or something.. said he needed help getting back just in case he was called forward to the original realm to help out in a fight." Aiden explained to his younger sister.
"So, you guys are the same age?" She asked. 'I mean, I guess that could work, Aiden was 18 after all, and this guy looks around that age too...' She thought. Yes, Aiden was well built because he grew up in the country and was a farrier's apprentice and so was also quite tall.. but he looked like a 16 year old. He had black hair that hung in a fringe over his left eye and his eyes were royal blue his skin was quite dark compared to how pale he used to be though; from all the time spent outside in the sun. Meanwhile Tiffany didn't seem to have a tan at all, she was actually quite pale and her hair spiked in lots of different directions with many short spikes. (AN: like Gohan's hair from the cell saga.) The only way she looked similar to her brother was that she had the same colour eyes.
Aiden smiled down at his sister. "Believe it or not he's actually an entire year younger than me."
"W-.. really?" Tiffany stared at Vegito.
"No kidding, Chibi." Aiden smiled.
Tiffany pouted at the nickname her brother had given her.
"Chibi?" Vegito asked.
"Yeah, that's her nickname." Aiden said, walking over to Tiffany and ruffling her hair. "I came up with it when I found out that a chibi is a small version of something, and 'cause she's not very tall that's what we all call her." He laughed at the death glare Tiffany gave them both.
"I came here because I wanted some peace guys! Come on!" She whined.
"Well we have to find somewhere for Vegito to stay for the night." Aiden said.
"It's fine. I'll set up camp here."
"Wait a second Vegito." Aiden said. "Chibi, can't he stay at the campsite with you guys?"
"Why can't he stay at the house?"
"Because our parents would freak... please?"
Tiffany sighed in defeat. "Ok fine, but only because I owed you for the drinks."
"No, really it's ok.."Vegito said.
"No, this is how I'm repaying my brother so come on, let's go." Tiffany said, grabbing The shirt on Vegitos gi and pulling him along with her.
Vegito blinked as he was pulled along by the small girl and looked back at Aiden to see him softly laughing at the two.
XXxxXX
"Explain to me whose idea it was to give hunter four entire cans of beer?! My parents are gonna go mad!" Tiffany cried.
It was the next morning.. more like 4am and it was pouring down with rain. Tiffany, Ella and Stevie we're carrying everything back to Tiffany's house and Vegito had Hunter slung over his shoulder and had made the mistake of saying he could fly and so the girls thought he was drunk.
"Was someone supposed to keep count?" Vegito asked in a sarcastic tone.
"God, you're such a smartass!"
Ella said, annoyed.
"Take away 'ass' and you'll be right." Vegito smirked.
"Ugh I hate you." Ella groaned
"Already?" Tiffany asked
"Yes!" Ella exclaimed. "He is the single most a-"
She was cut off by Hunters groans. Vegito immediately stopped and put him down.
"You were out for a long time man." Vegito said. "Here, take this.. hopefully it'll get rid of your hangover." Vegito gave Hunter a green bean that had been in a bag in his pocket. "Make sure you chew it first though."
Hunter did as he was told and found that as soon as he swallowed the bean his hangover was gone and he felt really energetic. When he told Vegito this he replied that it was completely normal.
"Guys, as amazing as that is I'm freezing!" Tiffany said, shivering.
The storm was still raging on and they were only halfway there.
"Hey, why don't we sing as we walk." Stevie suggested.
"Yeah!" Ella grinned
"But I can't sing very well." Tiffany said.
"It'll be fine, I can't sing either.. tell you what? You start singing a song you're comfortable with and we'll join in." Ella said
There was a pause as Tiffany thought of a song. Vegito took this time to ready his sensitive ears to be in a ton of pain.
"Heart beats fast,
colours and promises,
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow."
Her friends stared. She can sing!?
Tiffany looked a Stevie
"Keep going, you can sing really well!" Stevie smiled.
"You said you'd join in." Tiffany said, feeling embarrassed.
"I don't wanna get shown up by you," Stevie laughed "keep going, it's really good."
Tiffany sighed and continued. "One step closer."
Hunter stared at his girlfriend.. she can sing? How come she never did?
"I have died every day waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a thousand years,"
Vegito was shocked at the fact that she could in fact sing.. much better than when they had first met.
"I'll love you for a thousand more.."
It was then that Vegito realised that she was the kid that had been singing in the woods; the one that he told was awful at singing and should 'stop for the sake of all humanity!' As a young child.
'So I'm the reason she stopped singing.. maybe she doesn't remember.. should I say something?'

AN:
Yay! That's the first chapter guys! What do you think?
Oof, so I'm going through this and just going back through, fixing mistakes which would destroy the future of this story n all. For example Tiffany is no longer gonna be the granddaughter of any major character, but her father will be known. They'll find out sometime within the book.
This is now actually gonna be based around the song 'Dollhouse' by Melanie Martinez as I was listening to it the other day and realised how many similarities there are between Tiffany and Crybaby. There's still gonna be a new song each chapter but yeah.
Alright now I've got that done I need to go finish up the other chapters so I can upload the new one.
Bye! :D (And sorry for the long author's note..)
