From the moment after she had jumped through the portal, Buffy knew she wasn't on Sunnydale anymore. The landscape was much harsher then she was used to; it was nearly barren with almost no vegetation and she had managed to land face down in the dirt.

She knew without looking up that the portal had closed shut behind her, however, she hadn't expected to land near people. She lifted her head up and saw two strange-looking guys staring at her. She rolled over onto her back and the guy with the black spiky hair leaned forward to give her a hand up, while the other one just stared at her. She took Spiky's hand and thanked him as she caught her bearings.

"Is she a friend of yours, Trunks?" Spiky asked.

"Buffy? Is that really you?"

Buffy whipped her head around to look at the one Spiky had called Trunks and asked, "How do you know me?"

Trunks could tell that from the way she was eying him that he had better explain—and quickly—or fists were going to start flying. He spoke calmly and said, "I was just telling Goku that I was from the future—twenty years in the future to be exact—and that there is a great threat on the horizon. Two androids will appear in three years from now on a small island and will destroy everything in their path. Nearly everyone here," he pointed toward a group of people standing a couple of hundred yards away, "die when they first appear." He took a deep breath and pushed a hand through his hair. "You originally showed up on my mother's doorstep a few years from now."

Buffy let out a weary sigh. She couldn't even land someplace without landing into some sort of trouble. She squared her jaw and said, "As awful as these androids sound, they're nothing compared to the day I've had today. I beat up a hell-god, I jumped through a portal to save my sister, and crash landed in the middle of who knows where."

Goku placed a friendly hand on her shoulder and said, "Gosh, I guess you have had a bad day." He grinned at Buffy and said, "If it would make you feel any better, we could spar to help you blow off some steam."

"I don't know how much that would help her, Goku. She doesn't like to fight and train all the time like you do."

Buffy raised an eyebrow at Trunks before she turned back to Goku. "Although Trunks knows a version of me in the future, he doesn't really know me. Maybe blowing off a little steam might help." She grinned at Goku and assumed a sparring stance.

Across the crater, Krillin asked, "What's going on here?"

Vegeta growled before saying, "The tiny blonde woman is going to fight Kakarot, you idiot. I don't know why though; Kakarot will easily beat her."

"I'm not too sure guys," Gohan said. He inhaled deeply and searched the blonde's ki. "As strong as my dad and that guy are, I think she's stronger."

"It's starting," Piccolo said, returning everyone's attention to the scene before them.

It was slow at first as Buffy and Goku got a feel for each other's fighting styles, and then it sped up rapidly. Goku seemed to have the upper hand at first, with Buffy blocking his blows and kicks while she waited for an opening. When she found it, she sent a quick right hook into Goku's nose. While he was stunned, she followed it with a quick roundhouse kick to his head and dropped to sweep his feet out from under him. She paused long enough to grab for the stake held at the small of her back, landed on top of Goku, and placed the stake on his chest, where it rested above his heart. She grinned and said, "That was too easy."

She climbed off Goku and grabbed his hand to help him back up. Goku looked at Trunks and asked, "How well does your Buffy do against a Super Saiyan?"

Trunks blushed and said, "She still kicks my ass." He shifted closer to Goku and said, "You know our sparring match earlier? Even when I'm at full strength, she acts as if it's nothing." He pulled out the heart disease antidote and handed it to Goku. "Don't forget to take this,"

"No problem." Goku turned to Buffy and said, "If you need a place to stay, I'm sure either Chi-Chi or Bulma won't mind."

"I think I'll wait until I meet everyone before I make up my mind." She looked around, searching for Trunks, only to find that he had disappeared. "I wonder where he went," she said to herself as she followed Goku's line of sight and saw him looking at a craft in the sky. She shaded her eyes and saw Trunks smiling and waving at her and Goku. She glanced back at the group starting to cross the small canyon. One of the first ones to reach them was a shorter man with black spiky hair.

The first time she heard him speak, she had felt the overwhelming urge to punch him in the face.

She couldn't explain it, but something about the tone in his voice and the arrogance in his stance almost reminded her of Spike at his worst. She took a deep breath and attempted to make sense of what he was saying.

"It's preposterous that she could have beaten you so easily, Kakarot! She's nothing but a tiny blonde woman who looks like she couldn't even hurt a fly! Why, I bet you let her get the better of you—"

His tirade was cut short by Buffy driving her fist right into the center of his face and breaking his nose. She quickly pulled away and blushed, slightly ashamed at losing her temper so easily. She looked over at the angry little man (and she could get away with calling him a little man as he was only an inch or two taller than her) and said, "Apparently I'm stronger than I look since I was able to break your nose so easily."

He glared at her for a quick moment before he popped his nose back in place. Buffy gave a small wince at the way he had been able to shrug off the pain, never taking her eyes off the man in front of her. She had a feeling that if she did, he wouldn't hesitate to attack her.

"Vegeta, leave her alone!" The blue-haired woman who had been standing apart from the group walked up to him and gave a tug on his very pink shirt. "She's obviously had a hard enough of a day and she doesn't need to take any crap from you!"

Vegeta turned his gaze to the woman and yelled, "This is none of your business, woman!" He turned back to Buffy and said, "I'm not sure if this newcomer would appreciate you meddling in her affairs."

Buffy took two steps back in an effort to make herself more comfortable, only to have Vegeta to take the two steps with her. She glared at him and took another two steps, and somehow found herself in a pissing contest with the Saiyan. When he stepped into her comfort zone again, she said, "You need to back off or I'll do something you'll regret."

He smirked at her and took the last steps needed to stand directly in front of her. "Make me regret it."

Buffy didn't say anything, she simply snapped. She planted her right fist in his face again, re-breaking his nose, before she kicked at him. Her knee impacted his abdomen and she heard the whoosh of breath he exhaled before she continued her assault. Several punches and kicks later, she finally knocked him to the ground and backed away so she wouldn't be compelled to continue her attack.

For a few moments, there was nothing but silence before Goku said, "I think you may have broken him, Buffy."

There was a weak chuckle that came from Vegeta. He sat up from his previous position and rolled his shoulders. "That wasn't half bad. Too bad I've been hurt worse."

Buffy planted her hands on her hips. She couldn't believe the arrogance of this man. She cleared her throat and said, "I could have hurt you worse." She waited for Vegeta to turn his gaze toward her and showed him her unhurt hands. "See? No scratches, no bruises, no broken bones." She then invaded his space, forcing him to look up at her. "I'm sure if most people punched you in the face, their hands would be all torn up with as hard as your head is, but I'll let you in on a little secret. Before I fell through that portal, I had just beaten the hell out of a hell-god and then I was able to take you out without injuring myself further, so I'd be careful if I were you."

He was quiet for a moment before asking, "Are you able to use energy blasts?" He took her silence for conformation that she couldn't, then said, "I won't worry until you are able to then." He collapsed backward and stared at the sky. He heard the talk about the androids coming and it would be the end of the world. He had already talked to Bulma's father about building him a simulator that he could train in. Now he had three goals: become a Super Saiyan, defeat the androids, and beat the little woman at her own game.


Buffy had been unsure about what Goku's reaction would be about asking to go to his place, but he just shrugged it off and assured her that it would be okay. Apparently, he had forgotten to make sure it was alright with his wife first. Buffy almost covered her ears to ward off the high pitch of Chi-Chi's voice, but figured the other woman would feel insulted.

"Goku! I realize that you've been in space for a while, but the niceties can still be observed!" Buffy winced as Chi-Chi smacked Goku in the chest, and then watched as the other woman's demeanor changed. Chi-Chi gave him a big smile and said, "I missed you and worried so much about you."

Goku smiled down at his wife before he pulled her into his arms and planted a kiss on her forehead. He inhaled her scent and made a small contented noise. "Well, we are going to have a problem." When Chi-Chi looked up at him, tears brimming in her eyes, Goku quickly explained about the Androids and how Buffy had appeared, before he told her about his upcoming disease. "We have an antidote, but it won't work until I get sick."

Buffy cocked her head to the side and asked, "Didn't that guy say that we should be hearing about it on the news soon?" When Goku nodded, she said, "Well, we'll just expose you so you get it out of the way and you can be in fighting shape by the time those Androids come."

Goku grabbed her up in a bear hug and swung her around the room. He planted a kiss on her forehead as he set her down and said, "I knew it was a good idea to bring you home with me."

When Buffy looked over at Chi-Chi and found the other woman smiling at her. Chi-Chi took Buffy's hand and said, "Well, let's make you up a room. I'm sure that Piccolo will be along before too long and all of you need to get training." Buffy opened her mouth to protest, but Chi-Chi stopped her. "I know this isn't your fight, but we need all the help we can get; especially if what Gohan managed to tell me is true."

Buffy blushed for two reasons: one being Chi-Chi's hospitality, the other for how she had acted around Vegeta. She really needed to get a hold of her temper before she did something really awful to someone who didn't totally deserve it.
