Finally!
Background Info!
This is a newly updated fic! First written on 02/20/02. So please do not be
disappointed! I have the outline in my head that's why I already have a
title(You know...Finally)! This fic takes place for Buffy right after
Angel(the vampire with a soul she loves) turned evil again. In DBZ it takes
place before the World Martial Arts Tournament when Goku is dead but comes
back and there are people and Majin Buu.... I altered DBZ universe a
bit...*blushes and turns away*...I only did it for a reason that has to do
with the title...anyway, Supreme Kai reached them in time before the
tournament giving them time to go through all the things that they did to
defeat Buu. That means the Goku is alive, kiddies.
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy(Joss Whedon or DBZ(some Japanese dude)!

Chapter 1!
When Buffy Summers woke up on a large, unfamiliar mountain top, bleeding
heavily from various wounds, you are not allowed to be surprised that she
was confused. She wondered where she could possibly be, and started to make
a weak attempt to get up.
As she crawled/pulled herself on/with her arms, she became so physically
exhausted(it didn't help she was in much pain)she passed out on the edge of
a cliff.
****************************************************************************
******************
Our story now moves to a place high above 'the Buffster'. Soaring through
the air, free as birds, carefree as....well...anyone who is sparing can
be...
"Is that the best you can come up with, Kakarott?" Let's all think about
who could have said that? Maybe it was the only person who calls Goku
that...Vegeta?
"Sorry, Vegeta. Its just I think I see something down there..." Goku
pointed at the spot, one thousand feet below himself.
"I don't see anything, Baka! How is it that you can see something that far
down and I can't?" Vegeta was straining his eyes and getting a little
indignant.
"Well can we go down there and see if there is anything?" Goku was getting
impatient.
"You can go if you want but-" Goku cut Vegeta off by flying down towards
passed-out-Buffy.
****************************************************************************
******************
"Goku! If only Chi-Chi were home from the market to see you walking in with
another woman!" She looked at Buffy, dangling in his arms, and was a bit
shocked. "Well, Goku! You barely left this one alive!"
Goku pushed past the hysterical Bulma and walked into Gohan's room and put
Buffy down on the bed.
Bulma saw how serious he was and followed him. She checked her pulse and
was about to suggest he fly to get a doctor, but he was already gone.
****************************************************************************
******************
"I don't think she will be fully recovered for at least a week, she lost a
lot of blood and it's a miracle she's even alive at all. It's a good thing
you found her when you did."
When the doctor left, Goku left his son's room and shut the door behind him
and of course Chi-Chi came home just then.
"Goku?!?! What are you doing home? What were you doing in Gohan's room? Why
is a doctor leaving?" She rushed over to him and saw he was fine then
before he could say anything she ran past him to Gohan's room. The scream
she emitted should be put in the Guinness Book of World Records for length
and volume.
"Goku!!!! You have some explaining to do!"
Chi-Chi was going redder by the minute so Goku dragged his wife out of the
room and explained everything.
"Oh, the poor dear...I think I'll wash her clothes, give her others to
wear, and make her some nice, homemade soup...yes I'll do that..." Chi-Chi
absently made a list of things to do in her head and walked back into her
oldest son's room.
In the meantime, Gohan was on his way home and was almost at the door when
he felt a weak, unfamiliar ki coming from his home. He noticed that it
would usually be teeming with energy but now seemed to be rather...not
energetic at all...
"Hey, Guys! I'm home from school. I just found out-" Gohan wasn't able to
finish his thought before he burst into his room and saw an unfamiliar
teenage girl lying, covered-up, on his bed. "Um, Mom? Who's this girl? Why
is she in my bed?"
"Oh, dear...Um we don't know her name, your father found her in the
mountains, half-dead. She won't be able to even stand-up on her own for at
least a month, she's so bad off," Chi-Chi yelled this to her son from her
kitchen where she was cooking the earlier promised soup.
Just then, Buffy's eyes flickered open and she sat up abruptly on the bed.
That was a mistake because of her various aches and pains. "Ouch!...W-where
am I? Who are you? What am I doing here? Why am I lying down?
And...wait...what am I wearing?" She finished after she noticed she was in
a pair of Gohan's boxers and a black sweat-shirt that said 'I *heart*
Fighting'. (That was not Gohan's it was Chi-Chi's for all those out there
who think I'm writing him as a pansy.)
At the sound of a girl's voice, Chi-Chi came running into the room to
answer her questions. "I'm Chi-Chi, this is my son, Gohan. You're here, in
our home, because my husband, Goku, found you on a mountain, very hurt and
your clothes were very dirty so I am washing them and I gave you some of my
son's shorts and an old sweat-shirt of mine to wear for now."
Buffy, being severely shaken up and injured, didn't completely process all
of this information but heard the word 'mountain' and remembered awaking on
top of a rocky cliff. "Oh, okay."
"We're going into the living room so that you can rest, but we'll be in to
check on you later, alright?"
"But, Mom, I have to do my homework!"
"You can do it later, Gohan," Gohan stood there staring after her for a
minute after she left. He had never thought he would hear those words
emitted from his mom's lips.
Buffy just couldn't sit there and wait around, besides she was a little
thirsty so she decided to get up and follow them into the living room.
"So, Mom, what's wrong with her?"
"Well, the doctor said she had a broken arm, and that she had a bruised
rib, and a few broken bones in each leg-" Gohan and Chi-Chi looked up
stunned at Buffy's walking ability.(Slayer Healer Powers, never leave your
dimension without them.)
"What is it?" Buffy was a little worried when she saw them staring at her.
Goku had joined them and was now also staring at her.
"Well...you're walking..."Gohan trailed off.
Buffy looked down then looked at Gohan. "Yes, Gohan was it? I've been doing
it since I was a toddler." Gohan was going to say something else when the
front door opened, revealing a tall green and pink skinned man named
Piccolo.
"Ah, Piccolo! I'm glad you're here! We need you to help us with this young
girl. Cause she doesn't seem to be from this dimension..." Goku trailed
off, waiting for an answer.
"Well, what makes you say that?" Piccolo inquired, looking curiously at
Buffy.
"Well for one thing... what's your name?"
"Buffy."
"Right, Buffy is walking around in apparently no pain when she has broken
bones in each leg."
"Well, you could ask her how she's doing that."
"Oh! Right...How are you doing that?"
Buffy became suddenly aware of all of the oddness that was around her, and
how weird she must seem, and before practically shutting down managed to
say the word "Slayer".
This single word got a different reaction out of everyone. Piccolo was
stunned, Chi-Chi wasn't listening, Gohan looked puzzled and Goku looked
like he was so used to it he looked like he had either heard it everyday of
his life or not even heard it at all.
"You're...the...SLAYER?!!!" The part of Piccolo that was Kami(best way I
could think of to explain that) knew that that was the sacred duty thingy
we have all heard a trillion times in the show.
Buffy looked up at him, first wondering how he knew what a slayer was when
she was in a different dimension, then she wondered why they were all
speaking to something that looked demony.
"Look, lets take this one step at a time. First Buffy can explain what a
slayer is, then how she got here. Then we can all think of a way to get her
home. That is if you're up to it..." Gohan trailed off, he said that last
part because he didn't want her to like die or something.
After the Z fighters had all assembled, Buffy explained the whole sacred
duty/chosen one stuff then launched into her explanation of how she must
have gotten there. "Well, I was fighting my Ex-Boyfriend who's a cursed
vampire with a soul but then, because of me, he lost his soul and now is
evil and we had just run into each other while I was patrolling and we
started fighting...then next thing I knew he hit me real hard...come to
think of it his hand was glowing...weird...oh well...and there was a flash
and I woke up here."
They all then launched into their own auto-biographies and once they had
all finished they had decided that Bulma would work on the technical stuff
but the fighters(mostly Vegeta)wanted to see how strong a slayer is. It was
pointed out she wasn't at her best and they accepted that.
****************************************************************************
******************
Chapter Two!
"C'mon Brat! I've seen you do better than that with a broken arm!" Once
Buffy had thrown Vegeta across the yard(with him struggling all the while)
they decided she had TONS of potential and started training her. Vegeta,
never admitting this of course, had come to like her(not in the way of like
a pedophile but like father/daughter) and be proud of her.
"Sorry Vegeta! I was holding back so I wouldn't hurt you again," Buffy
said, smiling innocently.
"Oh, now you're gonna get it!" And with that Vegeta charged up to Super
Saiyin, scaring the shit out of Buffy who had never fought a Super Saiyin
or seen one. However she did continue the fight. With punches, kicks, head
butts and...unmentionables...we can just say that Buffy won...
*Authors Note: I been told Buffy cant kick Vegeta's ass but 1.) I
personally hate Vegeta. 2.) Buffy cheated by kneeing him.(Guess Where!) 3)
There is more to the story so wait 'til I finish to flame!*
Anyway...
Buffy was staying with the Briefs cause the Sons had like no room and she
went into her room after showering and put on some music and was about to
lie down when there was a knock on the door. Who else would it be but
Vegeta?
"In."
With that Vegeta came in and sat down on her bed.
"You're not mad at me for kneeing you are you?"
"Not too much. My pride, among other things, was a little hurt but as long
as you don't tell anyone I won't get mad. Actually you displayed the kind
of ruthless tactics I use," Vegeta was actually pretty angry but that last
part was totally true.
"Well, I'm sorry anyway. Can you ever forgive me?" She was actually, at
this point, being just a smidge fake because she didn't want to be kicked
out on the streets of an unfamiliar dimension.
****************************************************************************
******************
Very late that night, Buffy was walking around the area where the Sons
lived(She had been taught to fly), she was clearing her head when she
noticed a shadow.
'Hmmm...Who could that be...' She made to pull out a stake but then
remembered it was most likely not a vamp.
The shadow spoke. "Who's there?"
"Gohan?!" She recognized his voice and went over. "What are you doing
here?"
"I live here. What are you doing all the way over here?"
"I have a lot on my mind. Would you mind if I vented to you?" Gohan shook
his head. She talked for a while about things that had been bothering her
and couldn't stop herself from telling Gohan everything that was on her
mind. "Well, I feel some kind of bond with Trunks and Vegeta...like they
were my family...but its weird..."
"What is?"
"Well, if they were my family wouldn't Bulma be too? I mean, I have a
family and I'm not even from this dimension. So how could they be my
family? I mean my birth certificate probably says my father's name anyway."
"How can you be sure? I mean, I don't think they're your family, you don't
look anything alike, but maybe it's a like cousin or uncle sort of thing."
"No, I thought of that too but I ruled it out because this bond is
like...stronger. Also I feel like there's some sort of unfinished business
between us. I can't explain it very well...is this making sense to you?"
She stopped talking to make sure she hadn't completely alienated him.
"I think I do even though I've known my family my whole life and never ever
had any doubts as to their true identities, and I really cannot imagine
what you're going through. What do you need me to do? Give advice or offer
suggestions? Just tell me what I can do," He was a little worried about her
because she looked so sad and broody.
She realized he was worried and felt kind of bad but suddenly she was
really tired and decided to settle down next to him under one of the trees.
They sat and talked about stuff other than her current problems. He told
her about when the Saiyins came, the journey to Namek, Frieza, and Cell.
She told him about the apocalypses she had stopped, her encounters with
vampires, and Angel. Soon they could barely keep their eyes open so they
went back to their separate homes and went to bed.
****************************************************************************
******************
While they had been talking, Vegeta, unable to sleep, had woken up as a
result of nightmares that had appeared before but never as frequently as
they had since Buffy had dropped in.
He was in the training room, working out to drain himself so that he could
sleep, but it didn't seem to be working. His energy seemed to be drawn from
a bottomless pit of negative energy that was the only thing keeping him
from falling on the floor. Then, out of now where, he just dropped on the
floor, out of energy. He was semi-conscious, and lay breathing heavily
until he was able to get up.
When he did he realized he was not in his training room, or even in his
house for that matter. He was in a bar.
"Another round!" Vegeta recognized that voice and turned to see who said
it, realizing it was he, but not. He was sitting at the bar (looking a
smidge inebriated I might add) when Vegeta saw himself he realized this was
a scene from the dream he had been having more and more frequently over the
past month.
"So like I was saying...what was I saying?" Vegeta turned to the blond
woman sitting next to him.
"You were saying you could kill everyone here by only lifting one finger,"
the woman said also seeming rather intoxicated.
"Oh, right. Anyway...what's your name?"
"Joyce."
"Oh, Joyce. Right. Why are you here again?" Vegeta stared in horror as he
remembered his drunken attempt to get in her pants.
"What does it matter?" She asked, staring at her drink then turning back to
him.
"I'm here, and so are you and that's what matters."
"Right. So you wanna go to your place or mine?"
"Yours. Definitely yours."
"Well, all I have is as hotel room. So you still wanna go to my place?"
"Yes."
"Well, let's go then," and with that they stood up; Vegeta blew up the
cashier when he asked him to pay, and they headed off to his hotel room.
****************************************************************************
******************
Chapter 3
The next morning!(not after Vegeta and his...yeah...but after he remembers
it. Don't you hate it when the end of a dream never comes or when you don't
remember the ending?)
When Buffy woke up and went into the kitchen to grab breakfast and head out
to do her daily training with Vegeta, she noticed he was not in the
training room as usual, so she thought she had slept in and began to
hurry(she had been late before and obviously Vegeta didn't award prizes for
it)so as she entered the kitchen at full speed she barely noticed what was
on the counter.
She set her breakfast on the counter and went to get a spoon. As she opened
the silverware drawer, it hit her that her yogurt wasn't the only thing on
the counter. She turned around to face a horrible site; Vegeta with coffee
looking like he had just come in from a bar(well...he did...sorta). She was
not the only one who wasn't exactly observant, until she noticed him, he
hadn't noticed her.
"Uhh...Vegeta?"
No response.
"Vegeta?"
He blinked and she figured she was making progress.
"Vegeta, will you please answer me? You're kinda...freakin' me out..."
Vegeta slowly turned to face her, as if it pained his head to do so and
with the three words he uttered sent her to the floor in a dead faint.
"Call me Father."
****************************************************************************
******************
When Bulma walked into the kitchen with an unconscious Buffy on the floor
and Vegeta looking very close to being in the same situation, she was
obviously a smidge freaked.
"Vegeta? What is Buffy doing on the floor? Why aren't you helping her up?
Why are you sitting there like you're hung-over?" Vegeta's response to her
array of questions was to slowly turn to her and then turn back to his
coffee. Just then, while Bulma was becoming more confused by the minute,
Buffy started to come to. She got up off of the floor, sat down on a stool
and looked at Vegeta.
"Why are you two having a staring contest? Will someone please speak?"
"So then my suspicions were right. You are? That wasn't just some sick
joke?"
Buffy addressed Vegeta and completely ignored Bulma, who was verging on
hysterics . Vegeta just shook his head slowly as if it pained him to do so.
"What are you talking about, Buffy? What wasn't a sick joke? Please tell me
what's going on?"
"I'd like to know that too." said Gohan, who had just walked in the room,
finding Vegeta and his coffee, the familiar signs of Bulma about to start
screaming, and Buffy looking very confused.
"Vegeta will you please explain?"
Vegeta spoke in a hoarse voice that sounded like he had swallowed a broken
radio. He explained the dream that still meant nothing to Gohan or Bulma
but made Buffy almost faint again.
"Joyce? Are you sure that's what her name was? That wasn't just a dream,
was it? It was a memory," she said answering her own question. Vegeta just
nodded to confirm her suspicions.
Then he elaborated, "I was in that dimension because I was sent to find a
powerful item. I got a bit sidetracked." *Aha! I finally found it! The
understatement of the century!*
"Wait a minute," Gohan said, face wrinkled as he struggled to remember
something. "Buffy, didn't you say your mother's name is Joyce?" Buffy
nodded.
Gohan nearly fell on the floor. 'Buffy was right last night! She really
does have a connection with Vegeta and Trunks!'
Bulma took a bit longer to figure it out but when she did she shot daggers
at Vegeta. *With her eyes, folks, she didn't actually pull knives out of
the easily accessible kitchen drawer, though she was tempted*
"You cheated on me?! You filthy, slimy, no good, cheating, son-of-a-bitch
crack-whore!"
"Bulma calm down, he did it years ago, look at how old Buffy is." Bulma
took Gohan's word for it and calmed down a bit but was still supremely
pissed.
"It was longer ago than that, time passes differently in that dimension,"
was all Vegeta said before walking, or rather, stumbling out of the house.
"I'd better sit down," Buffy said still looking bewildered.
"You are sitting down," Gohan informed her.
"Oh, then I'd better go lie down." And with that, Buffy too stumbled from
the room and went upstairs.

remembered it was most likely not a vamp.
The shadow spoke. "Who's there?"
"Gohan?!" She recognized his voice and went over. "What are you doing
here?"
"I live here. What are you doing all the way over here?"
"I have a lot on my mind. Would you mind if I vented to you?" Gohan shook
his head. She talked for a while about things that had been bothering her
and couldn't stop herself from telling Gohan everything that was on her
mind. "Well, I feel some kind of bond with Trunks and Vegeta...like they
were my family...but its weird..."
"What is?"
"Well, if they were my family wouldn't Bulma be too? I mean, I have a
family and I'm not even from this dimension. So how could they be my
family? I mean my birth certificate probably says my father's name anyway."
"How can you be sure? I mean, I don't think they're your family, you don't
look anything alike, but maybe it's a like cousin or uncle sort of thing."
"No, I thought of that too but I ruled it out because this bond is
like...stronger. Also I feel like there's some sort of unfinished business
between us. I can't explain it very well...is this making sense to you?"
She stopped talking to make sure she hadn't completely alienated him.
"I think I do even though I've known my family my whole life and never ever
had any doubts as to their true identities, and I really cannot imagine
what you're going through. What do you need me to do? Give advice or offer
suggestions? Just tell me what I can do," He was a little worried about her
because she looked so sad and broody.
She realized he was worried and felt kind of bad but suddenly she was
really tired and decided to settle down next to him under one of the trees.
They sat and talked about stuff other than her current problems. He told
her about when the Saiyins came, the journey to Namek, Frieza, and Cell.
She told him about the apocalypses she had stopped, her encounters with
vampires, and Angel. Soon they could barely keep their eyes open so they
went back to their separate homes and went to bed.

While they had been talking, Vegeta, unable to sleep, had woken up as a
result of nightmares that had appeared before but never as frequently as
they had since Buffy had dropped in.
He was in the training room, working out to drain himself so that he could
sleep, but it didn't seem to be working. His energy seemed to be drawn from
a bottomless pit of negative energy that was the only thing keeping him
from falling on the floor. Then, out of now where, he just dropped on the
floor, out of energy. He was semi-conscious, and lay breathing heavily
until he was able to get up.
When he did he realized he was not in his training room, or even in his
house for that matter. He was in a bar.
"Another round!" Vegeta recognized that voice and turned to see who said
it, realizing it was he, but not. He was sitting at the bar (looking a
smidge inebriated I might add) when Vegeta saw himself he realized this was
a scene from the dream he had been having more and more frequently over the
past month.
"So like I was saying...what was I saying?" Vegeta turned to the blond
woman sitting next to him.
"You were saying you could kill everyone here by only lifting one finger,"
the woman said also seeming rather intoxicated.
"Oh, right. Anyway...what's your name?"
"Joyce."
"Oh, Joyce. Right. Why are you here again?" Vegeta stared in horror as he
remembered his drunken attempt to get in her pants.
"What does it matter?" She asked, staring at her drink then turning back to
him.
"I'm here, and so are you and that's what matters."
"Right. So you wanna go to your place or mine?"
"Yours. Definitely yours."
"Well, all I have is as hotel room. So you still wanna go to my place?"
"Yes."
"Well, let's go then," and with that they stood up; Vegeta blew up the
cashier when he asked him to pay, and they headed off to his hotel room.

Chapter 3
The next morning!(not after Vegeta and his...yeah...but after he remembers
it. Don't you hate it when the end of a dream never comes or when you don't
remember the ending?)
When Buffy woke up and went into the kitchen to grab breakfast and head out
to do her daily training with Vegeta, she noticed he was not in the
training room as usual, so she thought she had slept in and began to
hurry(she had been late before and obviously Vegeta didn't award prizes for
it)so as she entered the kitchen at full speed she barely noticed what was
on the counter.
She set her breakfast on the counter and went to get a spoon. As she opened
the silverware drawer, it hit her that her yogurt wasn't the only thing on
the counter. She turned around to face a horrible site; Vegeta with coffee
looking like he had just come in from a bar(well...he did...sorta). She was
not the only one who wasn't exactly observant, until she noticed him, he
hadn't noticed her.
"Uhh...Vegeta?"
No response.
"Vegeta?"
He blinked and she figured she was making progress.
"Vegeta, will you please answer me? You're kinda...freakin' me out..."
Vegeta slowly turned to face her, as if it pained his head to do so and
with the three words he uttered sent her to the floor in a dead faint.
"Call me Father."
****************************************************************************
******************
When Bulma walked into the kitchen with an unconscious Buffy on the floor
and Vegeta looking very close to being in the same situation, she was
obviously a smidge freaked.
"Vegeta? What is Buffy doing on the floor? Why aren't you helping her up?
Why are you sitting there like you're hung-over?" Vegeta's response to her
array of questions was to slowly turn to her and then turn back to his
coffee. Just then, while Bulma was becoming more confused by the minute,
Buffy started to come to. She got up off of the floor, sat down on a stool
and looked at Vegeta.
"Why are you two having a staring contest? Will someone please speak?"
"So then my suspicions were right. You are? That wasn't just some sick
joke?"
Buffy addressed Vegeta and completely ignored Bulma, who was verging on
hysterics . Vegeta just shook his head slowly as if it pained him to do so.
"What are you talking about, Buffy? What wasn't a sick joke? Please tell me
what's going on?"
"I'd like to know that too." said Gohan, who had just walked in the room,
finding Vegeta and his coffee, the familiar signs of Bulma about to start
screaming, and Buffy looking very confused.
"Vegeta will you please explain?"
Vegeta spoke in a hoarse voice that sounded like he had swallowed a broken
radio. He explained the dream that still meant nothing to Gohan or Bulma
but made Buffy almost faint again.
"Joyce? Are you sure that's what her name was? That wasn't just a dream,
was it? It was a memory," she said answering her own question. Vegeta just
nodded to confirm her suspicions.
Then he elaborated, "I was in that dimension because I was sent to find a
powerful item. I got a bit sidetracked." *Aha! I finally found it! The
understatement of the century!*
"Wait a minute," Gohan said, face wrinkled as he struggled to remember
something. "Buffy, didn't you say your mother's name is Joyce?" Buffy
nodded.
Gohan nearly fell on the floor. 'Buffy was right last night! She really
does have a connection with Vegeta and Trunks!'
Bulma took a bit longer to figure it out but when she did she shot daggers
at Vegeta. *With her eyes, folks, she didn't actually pull knives out of
the easily accessible kitchen drawer, though she was tempted*
"You cheated on me?! You filthy, slimy, no good, cheating, son-of-a-bitch
crack-whore!"
"Bulma calm down, he did it years ago, look at how old Buffy is." Bulma
took Gohan's word for it and calmed down a bit but was still supremely
pissed.
"It was longer ago than that, time passes differently in that dimension,"
was all Vegeta said before walking, or rather, stumbling out of the house.
"I'd better sit down," Buffy said still looking bewildered.
"You are sitting down," Gohan informed her.
"Oh, then I'd better go lie down." And with that, Buffy too stumbled from
the room and went upstairs.
