AN: So as the story goes along, there are scenarios I'd have liked to write that I just couldn't, like Sakura vs Goku in the first tournament. There are other scenarios I know just won't happen that would have been nice to write, and some are just silly ideas that are definitely never going to happen, but are too amusing not to have.
That's what this story is.
An alternate dimension where things that never have and never will happen in The Next Dimension Over will happen.
Naturally, this is not a set story like TNDO. They're random snippets/scenes of things as I think of them or they (don't) happen. They are not in any kind of order.
And to celebrate, I start with one of the silliest ideas there are.
The Dimension After Next

She slammed her fist into the table. It split in half, but that wasn't really the point.
"SIT. DOWN!"
The bizarre creature (how anyone would have known he came from another planet and wasn't just another animal person of this earth if he hadn't announced it, she didn't know) froze in place. His angry rant quieted. Yellow-gold eyes turned toward her. Confusion slowly melted into irritation, and she couldn't make herself give a damn.
"You." She pointed at him. Conveniently, his companion stood right next to him, so they were both encapsulated by her accusing finger. "I don't care what you're here for. I am not missing my daughter's chuunin examination for a birthday party in a different universe! That I didn't agree to attend! So that you can blow it up!"
Really, it was nice to see everyone again. They'd assured her that whatever caused the hiccup, they actually had the dragon balls on hand to send her back home immediately, so why not visit a bit first. As much as she enjoyed seeing her old friends, her daughter still took priority.
And she sure as hell was not here to put up with some new random deity throwing a temper tantrum. She was about twenty years past putting up with deities.
"I don't give a damn if you're disappointed! I will make you pudding if it will shut you the hell up, but you are not blowing up the planet I am on when I have an appointment! Suck it up, take your temper tantrum somewhere else, or so help me god I will bring my husband and Naruto here and lock you in a dimension where the only thing you'll be destroying is Black Zetsu!"
The cat's slim companion squinted in confusion. "Black what?"
"SIT!"
Satisfyingly, the purple creature actually did sit down. His companion's expression flickered briefly to surprise, and then to mild amusement, before he sat down as well, apparently invested once more in the food he'd had in front of him previously.
The cat sighed, looking bored. "...I suppose it would be troublesome to destroy the world without ever getting a taste of this pudding."
In the distance, the Saiyan prince collapsed against a tree.
She pointed at him. "Stay put and I'll bring you some."
He grumbled in a strange way that sounded like an angry purr. "Hurry up. I'm bored already."
Honestly.
She stormed into the nearby house with an irritated huff.
At the very least, having been abducted by her old friends in the middle of an important day, she could have had an afternoon without raising a child.
