Dragonball NY
By Shinko Itansha (formerly Murova)
Chapter 1

Intro:
HI! The idea for this
fanfic sort of popped out of nowhere, nowhere being the
wonderful but highly irrational world that lives inside my
head. Basically, this is Dragonball Z, from the Saijin
Saga to at least the Frieza Saga, and then maybe branching from the story line, all set in Queens. This of course excludes certain obvious trips. Some of the characters have been changed to reflect the, um, diversity of New York. This is my first fanfic, so please excuse any
typos, mess ups, screw ups, massive inadequacies, etc.
Expect plenty of what I like to call TRTC's- Totally Random
Temporary Crossovers. Also, I will be playing a minor part
in this. In fact, I will be playing pretty much all minor male characters. Also, don't expect to see many landmarks from our world.

PS: I don't own Dragonball Z or any of the respective characters or places. The story, however, is mine. ALL MINE!! Er, sorry... Oh, and I don't mind if you make references, etc. to my story, just let me know first. Heck, I should be honored if you would actually want to make references to my story.

And Now For Our
FEATURE PRESENTATION:

The Real Chapter One: AND SO IT BEGINS!

It was a bright, sunny morning in Queens! It was a shame
that all Goku could see through his bedroom window was a
brick wall. There was nothing he could do, though, as this
run-down, sack-of-crap apartment was all the Sons could
afford. Even this seemed to amaze him, however, as he could
not recall what they were paid to do. He knew that Chi-chi
handled the money and that was that. He got up and went
through his daily morning routine of showering, getting
dressed, brushing his teeth, and shooting up.
"Ah, that's the stuff!" he said after that last part.
"Damn, that's the last! All well, I'll worry about later,
it's about to kick in!"
Goku was not surprised when, a moment later, the shower
started doing a little jig while Chi-chi's electric razor
sang "Hotel California". He walked into the kitchen to find
Chi-chi setting breakfast on the table and Nimbus sitting
calmly on top of the refridgerator.
"Hey, Nimbus!" He yelled, startling Chi-chi. "What are you
doing up there?" Chi-chi's eyes followed
Goku's gaze to the refridgerator and, not seeing anything
there, went back to her duties. "Well? Hello? Nimbus? All
well. Good morning Chi-chi. Where's Golan?"
"It's Gohan, and he's late for breakfast and soon late for school. I wish he would focus more on his studies than fighting, and now that whole goth thing... Oh, where is he!"
A door opens and Gohan walks in, dressed in black pants
and a KoRn shirt, with his hair tied back in a pony tail
and the sides of his head shaved. "Gohan!" yelled Chi-chi,
"How many times must I tell you not to let your chains drag
on the floor! You'll scratch it!"
Gohan glared at her. This was his normal response to
everything. He sat down and glared into his Cheerios. After
about five minutes, he started eating.
"Hurry up, you'll be late for school."
"It's Saturday, Mom."
"Oh yeah. Er. Gohan, your mascara is running down your
face."
"Oh, thanks."
Goku sat down and swallowed his bowl of Cheerios in a
single gulp. "That was great! Oh, by the way, I got a
letter today from old Master Roshi! The old gang is having
a reunion at Kame House. Wanna come, Gahan?"
"Gohan. Sure, why the hell not."
"GOHAN! Watch your language! Goku, you are not taking
Gohan to that old por-"
"'CINEMA', Chi-chi, 'cinema'."
"Whatever! You know I won't have my son going anywhere near THAT kind of 'cinema.'"
"Don't worry, Master Roshi keeps all of the 'films' in his
room for, ah, reasons. Besides, it closed down years ago."
Chi-chi growled at him, but after a few minutes finally
relented. "All right! Let's go Gofin!" said Goku, excitedly.
Goku and Gohan stood up. Goku yelled "NIMBUS!!"
Goku watched Nimbus glide off the fridge and land on the
table. "Well, get on, son! Don't be afraid."
"Uh, get on what Dad?"
"Nimbus."
"What?"
"Nimbus! Right here on the table!"
"Err, yeah." Gohan climbed up on to the table, knocking
over a glass of milk in the process. Goku jumps up onto the
table and Gohan climbs on to his back.
"And away we go!" shouted Goku, and he flew out the
window, almost injuring himself in the process.
"Have a safe trip!" yelled Chi-chi.
"BYE!" they shouted.
