Disclaimer:

Of course I don't own Dragon Ball Z, or its Characters or anything like that.

I will not profit from this in any way.

It's merely an expression of how the three years waiting for the Androids to come may have unfolded.

If you like Yamcha, I don't advise this one for you 3.

I have a problem with writing between past and present tense, I'm sorry.

My grammar may not be perfect I again apologize.

I am not confident in sharing this but I've read every one I could find and feel it's my turn to write one. Lol

Nameks moved on. Freezia is dead. Trunks has come and gone. We start our story with the Z fighters struggling to swallow the hard news they were just told.

Chapter 1: The News

How could anyone wrap their heads around what information they had just learned? Goku, their strongest friend would die to a disease… a heart disease, it sounded like a lie. It did however give proof of how close humans and Saiyans were to each other. No that wasn't the point, that fact wasn't on anyone's mind, not even the woman who loved facts. On top of that news the boy who just slayed Freezia and his crew warned them of another threat, coming from a guy who cut through them like tissue paper, made it quite alarming.

Vegeta stood there arms crossed, nothing escaped from him, no signs of joy or anger he just stood there and watched the rest of them act like fools. Everyone had started to leave, saying heartfelt goodbyes to each other before going home to try to soak in and understand just what had happened.

Bulma tried to hold her composure, she did but the thought of losing Goku again.. After they just got him back destroyed her, the fact that she just got Yamcha back too sat in the back of her head. The woman's best friend.. For so long would die to something as trivial as a disease? But no. The boy had brought him the cure from the future, and he wore a CC jacket. Bulma closed her eyes letting a tear roll down her cheek, [No.. I save Goku..] she thought to herself [a time machine.. A cure yes it has to be me in the future that thinks of this plan.] She smiled feeling pride that she may have been the one behind the whole thing.

Yamcha was off in his own world, the young fighter just got brought back to life and was given an expiration date. Well in all truths it didn't seem like he was even brought up when they said the fighters who failed.. He wasn't in the strongest 3..5.. [There isn't even a point to me fighting… to me training.. I'm never mentioned in the top.. I've been dead for so long.. Killed by something that wasn't even meaningful. Hell my girlfriend and I…] He looked to Bulma who seemed to stand proudly and stronger than him. [Haven't even spent time together, alone since I got back.. But.. knowing this.. In three years we could be dead.. Perhaps it's time to start thinking about settling down.. Have a nice big wedding.. Take her as my bride.. Finally.] Yamcha frowned slightly [or perhaps it's not time to settle for anything, or any one person.]

Bulma finally smiled and turned to Yamcha, her eyes caught site of the bastard Saiyan who just returned her space ship. "Guess you'll be needing a permanent place of residence huh homeboy?" Yamcha smiled to her until he realized she wasn't talking to him but through him.

Vegeta scoffed at her offer and took off, he didn't need her or a place to stay he could train anywhere on this planet or off for three years why would he chose to train near such irritating creatures?

Bulma sighed out of irritation "Well you know where it is if you change your mind". The woman placed her hands on her hips and shook her head. "Yamcha you want to ride with me back to CC?" Yamcha shrugged his shoulders and nodded, walking with her to her small hovercraft.

The ride was silent, the heiress even set the craft to auto pilot and stared out the window. "Goku would have died of a heart disease… can you even believe that? I mean it is Goku we are talking about.. And time travel.. That all seems kind of folky don't ya think?" Yamcha was pulled from his own daze.

"Yea I suppose… but if Goku trusts and believes him then I guess we should too huh?" Bulma didn't think about it like that, but he was right if anyone should be skeptical of the boy it would be him. Goku though didn't seem to have an ounce of distrust in what new the boy had shared. The craft slowed down and landed at the main capsule corp's compound.

"I guess we better tell Mom and Dad what's going on." Yamcha didn't turn to her but looked either further into the distance. "Well fine.. I'll tell them, you do what you want.." Her anger flared up and she stormed into the house, [Yamcha.. fucking ass… like the news wasn't hard enough he's trying to piss me off more..] she growled angrily to herself as she stormed right into the kitchen.

"Bulma.. sweety you're back.. join us for dinner?" Bunny smiled to her daughter patting the seat next to her.

"Mom.. Dad we need to talk about today." Dr Briefs moved his glasses to sit right on his nose as he set his paper down. They knew when their daughter was trying to be serious and this was definitely one of those times. "I don't want to sit here and go on and on about it, to be honest I don't even want to talk about it at all but you need to know." Bunny moved a steak onto her daughter's plate along with some carrots and potatoes.

"Eat and tell us dear." Everyone started to eat.

"I'll sum it up, in a nutshell as they say. A boy from the future came today, killed a large threat to our planet without even getting winded, he gave Goku a cure for a heart disease that he doesn't even really have yet, and he warned us that unless everyone trained hard they would die.. the Earth would be destroyed… and all this would happen in three years… Androids created by Red Ribbon Army.." Bulma pushed her food to the side. "I don't think I can eat right now." Bunny didn't know what to do this news even made her sad.

"So we need to work on the gravity room for Vegeta and Goku?" Bulma looked up to her dad [why did he say Vegeta first?]

"I couldn't even tell you if that asshole was coming back here or if he would even help us."

"What about that handsome boyfriend of yours?"

"He's sitting out in the craft I drove home.." Yamcha walked in just as Bulma was explaining.

"Oh Yamcha dear sit down and eat with us!" Bunny filled a plate and set it in front of him. "How is the handsome young man?"

Yamcha looked up from the plate "well it's a lot to take in but I'm doing fine." He smiled his foot rubbing Bulma's, he didn't want to be on bad terms with her especially not now. "I'm sorry B…" she faked a smile at him, her eyes glanced over food and she finally began to eat.

They sat there and ate dinner quietly after that, no one really knew what to say to each other.
