It has been 15 years since the demise of Kid Buu. Peace and tranquility have reigned since Buu's reign of terror. Oblivious to the fact that Goku was actually the one who saved them all, people go on about their lives as though the world had never been in danger. The death of King Furry triggered worldwide elections, as the King had left no heirs. People from everywhere participated, from South City to Penguin Village. Candidates emerged from everywhere, and vanished just as quickly as they appeared on the world stage. Many political careers were ruined after the surfacing of many dirty pictures. The Satan City Scandal is what this affair came to be known as. Apparently, many of the candidates were celebrating their newfound fame by..., oh, I am sorry please forgive the author, for he tends to ramble. Now, getting back to our story...

The eventual winner of the election did not enter it until begged to by the population. Amidst much confetti and fanfare, the victor climbed the stairs to the speech podium. "Fellow citizens, it is I, your savior, HERCULE! AHAHAHAHHA! Yes I am now your new, freely elected president!" At this the crowd erupted in a mighty show of affection. "HERCULE! HERCULE! HERCULE!", the crowd chanted.

"That guy just never gets sick of himself, does he?"
"Oh, let him have his fun Krillin, could you imagine me up there?
"Haha," laughed Krillin," You'd probably be stuffing your face when it was time for the speech!"
"What are you talking about? I only eat when I'm hungry.", Goku said, while he gulped down a whole chicken leg in one bite.
"Yea but you're always hungry!", Krillin joked.
"HEY! Hurry up midget dude!", some hippy looking guy said.

Goku and Krillin happened to be getting food from the huge buffet table. It featured many courses from around the world. It even had a special section devoted specifically to desserts at the end of the table. There were humongous bowls of rice, and noodles. Next came the main dishes: curry, sushi, fish, steak, with a giant roast pig in the middle of these dishes. There was also a fruit and vegetable section including salads. A few meters to the right of the buffet, a giant chocolate cake towered on its own table, more like a pedestal than a table, it was. Fudge oozed down the sides of it, while at the top, stood a chocolate, caramel-filled statue of Hercule. Goku was currently trying to eat the three drumsticks in his hand and balance his twenty plates of food at the same time.

"Wow! Look at the size of that cake!", Goku said as his eyes gazed in wonderment.
"Move it baldy, before the guy with the hair eats everything!", the hippy said.
Krillin wiggled his nose and muttered, "Ungrateful idiot."

Krillin followed Goku down the length of the table. Suddenly there was a commotion near the pies section.

"He's eating all the pies! Noooooo! I wanted the Lemon marangue!", sobbed some distant woman's voice.
"Hey Buu, leave some for the rest of the people, ok buddy?" Krillin said as he walked up to Fat Buu.
"Yea Buu, just wait till they serve that cake over there!" Goku chimed.
Buu smiled and said, "Pies soooo good and sweet! Me can't help it!"

Just then, Buu's pet dog, Bee, ran up and started barking.
"Uh oh, Bee hungry, have to feed now! Bye!"
Buu then picked up Bee and flew off to God knows where.
"Huh...well lets go find Chi Chi and the others.", Krillin said.
"Yeah, I wonder if Bulma and Vegeta are here yet?", asked Goku.
"I think I see them, Goku. I would recognize Vegeta's hair anywhere.", snickered Krillin.
"Haha, yeah, let's go say hi, maybe they will have more food...", at this Goku's eyes glazed over and his mouth started watering.
"Sigh, you haven't even started eating your food yet. Looks like Chi Chi found them before us. Hey everybody!", yelled Krillin as they walked up.

The whole DBZ gang was there. Android 18 came up to Krillin and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Krillin's daughter Marron was now eighteen, while her father had gray hair and a mustache. Android 18 had cut her hair short and looking only slightly older after fifteen years. Chi Chi was standing by her father the Ox King, who had gotten gray by now, but he was still cheerful. Chi Chi showed a few wrinkles but still retained her natural beauty. Gohan and Videl were there with Goten (who had brought a nice looking girl with him). Goten was 23 years old now. He was a very eligible bachelor and he knew it. He dated frequently and was so distracted by girls that he never got much training time in. Goku's granddaughter, Pan, was standing by her mother. She was 18 and had inherited her grandfathers' love of fighting. She was in good shape, fit but not overly muscular, and had blossomed into a young woman. She would often get made fun of for behaving like a boy. Those who made fun of her usually wound up knocked out. Inside her, there was a yearning to find a mate suitable for marriage. While training, she usually daydreamed of her wedding day and the perfect man that would be hers forever. Unfortunately, she trained so much she never had much time to meet boys. Even if she had had the time, none of them would have lived up to her idea of "the perfect man". Gohan and Videl were now middle aged. Gohan was now a professor at Dragonford University. The couple still kept up their Great Saiyaman activities and fought crime all around Capitol City.

Bulma, Vegeta, Trunks, and Bura were all standing together. Bulma had aged but still showed no gray. She was now president of Capsule Corp., since her father had retired. Most of her time was spent meeting with important people and grooming her son for the eventual presidency. Vegeta looked the same as ever. Saiyins are slow agers. He still trained but now took his fatherly duties more seriously. He looked after Bura most of all and did not take kindly to any of Bura's suitors. He thought them all "weak earthlings after his daughters wealth and beauty.", and he was right. Trunks was 24 and more concerned with his responsibilities as CEO of Capsule Corp. than with the martial arts or girls. He was always busy but still found time to hang out with his friend Goten. As for Bura, she could fly and had a power level above the average earthlings, but showed no desire to embrace her Saiyin heritage, unless it was the title of "Princess of the Saiyins." She was more feminine than Pan was, but still had a tomboyish streak too her. She dated here and there but could never find the right boy. She brought home suitors but they were all after her money or sex. She wished she could find a man that would treat her like the princess that she was, rather than just a meal ticket or booty call. Master Roshi, Yamcha, Tien, Chiatzu, Oolong and Puar rounded out the group. Piccolo and Uub were not there. They were at Kami's Lookout.

They were all talking about old times, when Vegeta said, "Quiet. Our new "president" is being sworn in."

They all turned their attention to the stage, except for Goku who kept eating...They saw a little old anthropomorphic dog, clothed in judge's robes make his way towards Hercule. The crowd grew quiet. Only Goku's munching could be heard. The old dog scratched his head. He seemed to be shedding. Dog hair was flying everywhere.

Hercule leaned over and said, "Hey, uhh, do ya mind not scratching so much? This suit cost me 10,000 zeni. I don't want to take it to the dry cleaners on my inauguration day."
"Of course," replied the old dog, "Just let me put on my spectacles and we can proceed."

Hercule was quivering with anticipation. "Hot damn I'm THE president of the world!", he thought to himself, "If only my dear old granny was alive to see me now."
"Please raise your right hand. Repeat after me.", the dog commanded, "I, Hercule Pogi Satan..."
"Pogi! Videl I didn't know your dad's middle name was...", Gohan never finished his sentence because of a punch to the stomach from his wife.
"I, Hercule Pogi Satan..."

This was the last thing Hercule ever said.
