"What am I going to do about this!?" Uub yelled while attempting to pull out his own hair, He had no clue about what to do about the situation presented before him. "Aw crap, c'mon Uub, what would Goku do?"

"I don't know, it depends on the problem," the source of Uub's dilemma said. Standing before him was his master, Goku. Expect he wasn't. Instead of the 50 year old that Uub had come to see as a father what stood before him was a miniature version of him. Specifically, Goku was a child.

"Okay, just calm down, Uub. Who could help in this situation?" Uub started pacing before the child version of his master.

"Hey mister are you going to keep ignoring me? Who are you and where is Bulma?" The young Goku said.

"The only option that makes any sense is the lookout. I suppose I could try and head straight for capsule corp, but I have no clue where that is." Uub continued his furious pacing.

"Mister? Hey! Mister!" Goku still tried to catch his attention.

"Even if I did know where they were what am I supposed to do? Walk right up to them and say, hi! Remember that kid that Goku left you all behind for ten years ago? Well I'm back and boy do I have a story for you!"

Goku was quickly becoming annoyed with the person ignoring him so he took breath and screamed at the top of his lungs. His scream was loud enough that Uub had to cover his ears to try and block out the sound.

"Hey, what'd you do that for?" Uub complained.

"You were ignoring me. Now would you tell me where I am? It looks a lot like grandpa Gohan's mountain, but that can't be right. I was just getting ready to enter a tournament way away from here."

'So that's how it is.' Uub thought now fully understanding the situation. "Maste- I mean- Goku. Would you mind coming along with me? There's someone I could introduce to you who could provide you with more information than I ever could." Uub knew what, but had decided to stall. He had no clue how Goku would react to the new..

"Well... I guess I don't mind," Goku said while nervously scratching the back of his head,

"Great, just follow me okay?" Uub lifted up into the air and prepared to take off, but Goku's voice stopped him.

"Wow~ mister! You can fly!" Goku exclaimed excitedly.

"Wait... Are you saying you can't? But it was one of the first things you taught me.." Uub muttered the last part to himself.

"Course I can't," Goku said while having his hands hold up the back off his head. "I use nimbus for that."

'Oh yeah. I haven't used that thing in years,' Uub thought. Goku had given it to him as a gift during the earliest stages of their training. After learning to fly Uub no longer had any use for it. He wondered if it would still respond to his call? Cupping his hands over his mouth, Uub called out. "Flying Nimbus!"

Goku watched the man in confusion until he heard a familiar noise speeding towards them. He looked to the sky to see a familiar golden cloud flying towards them. "Huh?" Goku said clearly confused. "But... how?"

As the nimbus came to a stop before them uub tried his best to smile reassuringly, just like Goku would whenever they were trying something new. Whether it be a new animal that they had never eaten before or a new technique. Goku would always give him confidence with that smile so Uub hoped he could return the favor.

"Trust me and follow me using this." Uub said.

"Okay." Goku responded with a wide smile. If nimbus worked for this stranger then he must be trustworthy. "So where are we headed?" Goku asked after hopping on the nimbus.

Uub smiled and responded, "tell me, have you heard of Korin yet?"

"Ugh, what a creep," The voice of Pan, granddaughter of the self proclaimed 'hero of the world' and the true hero of the world. She was currently walking away from a movie theater where she just had her first, and probably last for a long while, date.

Her date was the most popular guy in school and always boasted about his martial arts prowess in school, so Pan had no problem accepting his date request. Turns out it was a bad idea. Not only was he bluffing about his skills he was an all around pervert. At the first opportunity during their viewing of 'The fall of Cell.' (A terrible retelling of her Grandpa Hercule's 'triumph' over Cell that was ten times longer than her her grandpa's actual attempt at beating Cell.) the sleazeball reached over with a pretend yawn and got a grope of her developing breasts.

The creep wasn't going to be using either of his hands again any time soon.

Unfortunately, this also meant that do to his popularity her social life was over. At least she didn't have to worry about any authorities getting involved. His pride would not allow him to admit he was beat up by a girl.

And it wasn't like she was going to be completely friendless.

"Was that really worth it?" A voice of a young woman leaning on wall that she was marching past said.

"Of course! The creep deserved worse." Pan came to a stop and crossed her arms while looking at her best, and soon to be only, friend. Leaning up against a wall with her eyes fully focused on a book in her hand was Bra Briefs. The youngest child of the underwear themed family.

She had a pair of red framed glasses over her eyes and golden steampunk themed set of goggles that she made herself resting on her blue haired head. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail to keep it out of her eyes. She wore a red turtleneck sweater that's sleeves weren't connected at the shoulder. A plaid skirt covered her waist while black stockings covered her legs. She finished her look with gold colored tennis shoes.

All and all she was remarkably similar in appearance to a younger Bulma even if her clothing choices and her personality was much different.

"If you feel that way, then fine. But I must warn you that Uncle Gohan would not be pleased with your actions," Bra explained, her eyes never once leaving the book in her hands.

Pan reacted strongly as she thought of her father's potential anger. Mild mannered he may be but his anger was something to be feared. She panicked and started wildly flailing her arms in front of Bra. "Please please please don't tell dad! He'll ground me!" She meant that quite literally. Gohan would not allow her to fly or train with uncle Piccolo if he found out about the hand breaking.

"Hm. I'll think about it," Bra responded as she started to walk towards her house.

"Bra? C'mon, Bra!" Pan pleaded as she followed after the girl.

"This is where we stop," Uub remarked as he and reached the place where Korrin resized..

"Wow! I don't think I've ever flown this high before." Goku cheerfully said. He and Uub landed in a circular room where a cat of all things was standing before them. "Huh? Who's this?" Goku looked to Uub.

Uub smiled and pointed at the cat, who was staring at them with a flabbergasted expression. "That would be Korin."

"Really?! Wow so a cat is really as powerful as you said Korin is?" Goku questioned.

"Well... I really wouldn't call myself powerful in the way you thinking. Present company withstanding." Korrin looked at Uub with a question in his expression. Uub automatically knew what that question was.

"I'll explain later. For now we need to reach the lookout. I'll be leaving the nimbus hear." Uub said with a serious expression. He had only used the nimbus to prove to Goku that he could be trusted.

"Ok, but I doubt anything short of the dragon balls would make any sense of this." Korrin. Uub didn't respond and kept a straight face. " O-K don't know why I expected anything less. I suppose the namekian dragon balls are needed to fix this."

Both Goku and Uub tilted their heads in confusion. "Na-Mak?" They both said.

"You have got to be kidding me.. Just head up and meet dende already." Korin gripped the bridge off his nose in annoyance.

Uub nodded his head and turned to Goku. "Would you mind hopping on my back? We just need to fly up a little bit more."

"Sure, mister, " Goku responded before leaping on the back of the warrior.

"It's Uub." Uub said with a smile. He took off into the air heading straight towards the lookout.

Korrin stared after them as a sweat drop fell down the side off his face. "So Goku could teach the kid how to fight, aliens, cyborgs, and demon, but he can't teach a little geography? Good thing he could talk prior to meeting Goku."

Uub landed on the lookout moments after taking off from korin's den. Goku hoped of back and stared in awe at his surroundings. "Wow. This place is so far in the air." Goku looked over the edge and noticed that he couldn't even see the bottom because of the cloud lines.

"Yeah, I said the same thing when I got here the first time," Uub responded.

"Uub? What a pleasant surprise." The voice of Popo, who was watering the flowers, said. "What brings you up here.

"Hello ," Uub responded, "Could you bring Dende? I have something to show him.." Uub looked down to goku, who smiled and waved at Popo.

"Hey! My names Goku!"

Popo's mouth dropped, along with the watering can that was in his hands. "B-b-b-but how?"

Goku tilted his head in confusion as Uub sighed and nervously rubbed the earring in his left ear. It was made of a special indestructible metal and was passed down from one leader of his village to the next. After Uub gave the village enough money to survive and live comfortably for the next four generations he was given the earring as a thank you.

They were only part of his clothing that were never destroyed in his training with Goku.

He had developed the habit of rubbing them when he was nervous. How would Dende, and by extension, Goku's family react to Goku's current state? Would they blame him? It's not like they knew him enough to trust him.

"He's what I'm here to talk to dende about."

"Who's Dende?" Goku questioned.

"He's the creator of the dragon balls," Uub said with a smile.

"Wow really!? That's so cool!" Goku cheerfully said.

"Yup," Uub turned back to popo,"Can you please bring him?"

Popo nodded his head before taking a deep gulp and running off to fetch Dende.

"So can you tell me why we had to come here?" Goku questioned.

Uub sighed and rubbed his earring again. 'Guess there's no avoiding it now.' He kneeled down to Goku so they were eye level and placed his hand on the young saiyans shoulder. "What I'm about to tell you well come as a shock, but I need you to believe me. Can you do that for me?"

Goku nodded almost immediately. Nimbus would never let an impure person ride it, let alone control it.

" An old enemy of yours has used the magic of the dragon balls to bring you to this point in time. You are around 40 years ahead of whatever you were previously doing," Uub did his best to stay calm as he explained what he had figured out.

Goku at first believed the stranger was kidding, but then he remembered the words said prior to the revelation. "I-i'm, in the future? Really?" Uub simply nodded his head. "D-does that mean that.. Krillin.. Bulma.. Master are they...?" Goku's voice shook as his widened eyes started to water.

Uub knew what the question was, but he unfortunately didn't know the answer to that question. He and Goku had only really visited the lookout.

"Fortunately, I can provide you with some good news. They're all perfectly fine." A kind young voice said from behind Uub. Turning, Uub saw Dende approaching them. He had a sad smile on his face.

"Do you mean?" Goku questioned.

Dende stopped his approach a few short feet from Uub and Goku."I mean exactly what I said. You're friends, while much older, are still alive and kicking."

"Thank you." Goku walked over to Dende and bowed his head.

Dende chuckled,"there's no need to thank me. I haven't really done anything."

Uub walked over to Dende. "Is there anything we can do to fix this?"

"Unfortunately, no. Not until this year is over. At that point we can travel around pretty simply and gather the dragon balls again." Dende smiled, always willing to see the bright side of things.

Uub smiled, but then he remembered the last bit of the blue imps wish. "Their may just be a problem with that..."

Noting the serious tone in his voice, Dende's eyes narrowed. "Tell me everything that transpired."

"Fine, I won't tell Uncle Gohan," Bra said with a were a short ways away from capsule corp and Pan had been bugging her the whole way there. "It wasn't like I ever planned on telling Gohan in the first place, I was just teasing."

Pan face faulted at the revelation, but Bra didn't cease her walk. Pan climbed to her feet and caught up to her best friend. "Jeez, you really need to lay off the teasing. It's hard to tell when you're being serious or not."

"It isn't my fault that people can't get a simple joke." Bra had a habit of telling jokes that came of as serious statements. This came from her almost serious always serious vocal tone and facial expression. To herself, however, she was hilarious.

"A simple change in expression would really help.." Pan deadpanned.

"Hmph." Bra was also strangely prideful about the strangest of things, including her joking abilities.

The two arrived at the capsule corp, home of the briefs family. The went in the house and automatically ran into the matriarch of the briefs family. A fifty year old woman who looked like she was in her late thirties and was, for all intents and purposes, an older version of bra. She even posed a ponytail as well, though her was longer and went over her shoulder.

She, for whatever reason had a panicked look on her face and was racing all around the house seemingly straightening things up.

"Mother?" Bra put her books down and tried to catch her mom's attention. Bulma jumped at the noise and turned to see her daughter and niece in all but blood staring at her. "What are you doing mom?"

"What she said Aunt Bulma. You're kind of freaking us out," Pan said with a nervous edge to her voice.

"No time to explain! There's been some kind of accident and everyone is heading here," Bulma said before going back to setting up the room.

Bra and pan started at each other in confusion just as a voice came from behind them.

"Mom! I'm here!" They turned to see Trunks, eldest child of the briefs family and current head of Capsule Corp, bursting through the door. He immediately and looked back outside at the sky. "Looks like everyone is almost here."

"Could someone please explain what's going on already!?" Pan yelled, already annoyed at the rapidly developing events

"Oh, hello Pan, Bra. I didn't notice you there." Trunks tried to smile, but was clearly too panicked to properly do so.

"Brother, what is going on?" Bra said with a rare edge to her voice.

"Trunks! You're here! Good, how far way are everyone else?" Bulma interrupted.

Trunks focused on the approaching enemies and zeroed in on each one. "Dad will be here in a minute or two. Then Goten and Marron should arrive shortly from that. Krillin and 18 should put up around the same time. Gohan will take the longest to get here considering the extra weight he's bringing with him."

"Okay, that should give me enough time to wrap up here. Would you mind explaining the situation to these two?" Bulma asked, but it wasn't really a question.

Trunks nodded his head and turned his attention back to Pan and Bra. "I'll tell you everything I know, okay? Just try not to panic. I have a bad feeling there will be enough of that in the coming moments." Trunks muttered the last bit of that to himself.

"Okay, just tell us what's going on," Pan responded.

"There's been an incident with the dragon balls," Trunks said with a serious expression.

Both Pan and, surprisingly,, Bra reacted strongly to that information. Both their eyes widened as a shocked expression filtered into their faces. They both knew about the dragon balls and knew any situation involving them was a bad thing. For all they knew Frieza could have been revived and made immortal.

As far as they knew, the dragon balls could literally make anything happen.

"I don't know much, but Dende alerted us that a terrible wish has been made upon the dragon balls and told us to gather here," Trunks finished.

Bra and Pan exchanged looks before gulping. This couldn't possibly be good news.

Before anything else could be said, a certain prince landed harshly on the ground outside the capsule corp. He strode forward with a purposeful gate and had a clear annoyed look on his face.

"Alright, where is the green herbivore!? He better have a good excuse for interrupting my training." Vegeta snarled.

"Is that you,Vegeta?" The voice of Bulma came from behind them. Upon seeing Vegeta she marched over to him and got close to his face. She started poking him in the chest with an annoyed expression on her face. "And where have you been these last three months, mister?"

"Tch, if you must know, women, I've made great progress on my super saiyan three training. Unlike Kakarot I do not have the added benefit of infinite ki to unlock it." Vegeta explained while crossing his arms.

"And you think that's good excuse to leave your family, huh?" Bulma said even more annoyed.

"I trust that any child of mine would be capable of handling themselves just fine for a few."

"That still doesn't- Ugh! You're lucky we have more important matters to discuss!" Bulma said as Goten and Marron, 23 year old child of Krillin and 18, landed on the ground.

"Are we interrupting something?" Goten nervously while scratching his cheek. Marron next to him shifted back and forth on her do to the awkward atmosphere. Her and Goten had arrived at the same time do to them dating for the last 4 years and Dende's cal had interrupted their date. A date that Goten planned to end with a certain question being popped.

"No, no. We were just finishing up. Hurry up and go inside," Bulma sighed and rubbed her head. She just knew that she wasn't escaping this day without a major headache.

Vegeta huffed and went inside. As he walked passed Trunks and Bra he gave a nod to Trunks and rubbed his daughters hair, causing her to gain a brief smile. He walked over to a couch and and sat down, then crossed his arms. Bra tried her best to nonchalantly walk up to her father and sit down next to him, burying a smile with the book in hands.

'Daddy's girl,' both Trunks and Pan thought as a sweatdrop went down their heads,

Goten and Marron then entered the house followed shortly by Bulma. Goten, upon seeing his best friend, leaped towards him and delivered a hug. "Trunks! Haven't seen you in a while! You've been so busy running the corps that you haven't bothered answering my calls!" Goten looked back at Marron before leaning in close to trunks and whispered, "I've been thinking about popping that question and I need some advice."

"You do know everyone in the this except my mom can hear you right? We all have super hearing." Trunks said.

Goten froze and looked around the room slowly. Pan was facepalming while shaking her head in embarrassment, Bra was pretending that he didn't, Bulma was trying to hold in her laugh and, worst of all, Marron was refusing to meet his eyes with a blush on her face.

"You're a bigger idiot than your father," Vegeta said with his eyes close.

"I'll say," A voice cut in from behind. They turned to see Krillin and his much taller wife, 18 standing at the there behind them.

"Darling, are you sure this is the man you want to be with? I much prefered you being with Trunks," 18 said. She referring to the relationship between Trunks and Marron that began and ended in their teen years. The two were still awkward with each other.

"Mom! Please don't start!' Marron said. Goten had slumped even more at the words of 18.

"I'm just saying," 18 started.

"Honey," Krillin interrupted, "I don't think now is the time," he finished.

18 sighed and nodded her compliance. She and Krillin walked over to a nearby sofa and sat down. Marron followed after.

Vegeta's eyes cracked open just as Gohan, carrying Chi-Chi, and Videl touched down.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma!" Pan said. She ran over and hugged each, making sure she took extra care hugging her pregnant mother.

"Pan! How was your date!" Videl cheerfully said.

"Date!? She was on a date!?" Gohan nervously said.

"Honestly, dad. Please don't be one of those dads!" Videl said, clearly annoyed.

"Ok, ok." Gohan chuckled.

Videl went and sat down with Chi-Chi following her. Since both her children now lived in the city and her husband being awol off training some kid, she had been living with Gohan. She was currently acting as the midwife for the for Videl's second pregnancy

"So does anyone know what Dende meant?" Gohan asked the room.

Before anyone could respond for figures teleported in. Those four were Piccolo, who had went straight to the lookout upon being contacted. Dende, who had used kai kai to teleport everyone there. Uub, whose appearance shocked everyone. They hadn't seen him since he was five and could barely compare him to his old self. Where once stood a talented, but untrained, warrior now stood a warrior.

Those who could, couldn't sense his full power but could easily tell that he was far stronger than any human had ever been.

But as shocking as Uub was he was nowhere near as much surprising as the one standing next to him. He was a short child an a orange gi with familiar spiky hair. The child was looking at them all with a curious look on his face until his eyes landed on Bulma. His eyes widened and a broad smile stretched across his face.

"Bulma!" The boy cheered and rushed towards her. He leaped up into her arms and she instinctively caught him.

She stared into his eyes in confusion and slowly her own eyes widened. "Go...ku?

Goku cheerfully nodded his head. "It hasn't been that long, has it? Cause for me it's been an hour!

"EHHH!?" Everyone in the room exclaimed, excluding the four arrivals.

"So, let me get this straight," Bulma started. "Pilaf-"

"Pilaf?" Uub interrupted with a questioning look in his eye.

"He's the guy who made the wish," Bulma explained. "He was a pain in me and Goku's butt during our our first adventure, right Goku?" Bulma winked at Goku, who was currently sitting in a crying Chi-Chi's lap. She hadn't taken the news well at all and refused to let go of Goku.

"Who was he again?" Goku questions with a tilt of his head.

'Even as a child his memory is..' everyone in the room thought.

"Anyway, to get back on topic, Pilaf wished for Goku to be the kid he once fought?" She looked over to Uub as she said this.

"Yes, that's what he said," Uub confirmed. Bulma smiled at the news and turned to Dende.

"Well that settles that, doesn't it? We don't even have to wait a year to bring our Goku back," Bulma said.

"Really!?" both Chi-Chi, and Pan exclaimed. "You mean I can have my husband back right now!?" Chi-Chi finished.

"And I can have my grandpa back!" Pan yelled. She hadn't seen hide nor hare of her beloved grandpa in 10 years.

"Yup." Bulma confirmed. "All we have to do is use the namekian dragon balls!" Bulma pronounced. This immediately lightened the mood amongst the group. But unfortunately, this hope was about to come crashing down.

"Unfortunately, that is impossible," Dende interrupted. "The wish was made on the earth's dragon balls. It cannot be undone by anything other than Shenron. This includes the namekian dragon balls," Dende finished.

Everyone, including Vegeta, moods dropped at that revelation.

"Well then," Bulma started, "it's only a year. How bad can things get during that amount of time?" She once again said hopefully, but this time with a nervous edge to her voic

Dende didn't respond and just looked straight at her eyes.

Bulma sighed, knowing things couldn't be that simple. "So what's preventing that?"

"The second wish Pilaf made," Uub responded for Dende. This caused all eyes to turn to him, making Uub nervous. He rubbed his earrings a he continued, "Pilaf wished for the dragon balls to scatter across the universe. I may not know much about this kind of stuff, but i'm pretty sure the universe is really big."

His words had the expected result.

Everyone was stunned into silence that seems to last for hours to Uub. This silence was interrupted by a gut wrenching wail from Chi-Chi as she tightened her hold on Goku.

"Wait, how can this be!?" Gohan angrily questioned. He got close to Uub and grabbed him by his gi. "How did you let this happen!?" Uub stared in shock at the man's words before bowing his head.

Gohan felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Piccolo shaking his head. Gohan let and had an embarrassed look on his face.

"I-I'm sorry, Uub. I let my anger get the best of me," Gohan apologized.

"Don't be, it is my fault." Uub replied."When Pilaf made his wish I did nothing to stop him from making his second. No matter how I look at it, it's my fault."

Uub turned and walked out of the house.

Everyone stared in shock as the young warrior left.

'Hard to believe he's the reincarnation off that monster,' Piccolo thought. 'Out of all of us he's probably taking this the hardest.'

"Nice going, Dad!" Pan yelled. She wasn't happy about her grandfather's regression, but she wasn't going to blame anyone other than that Pil guy.

Gohan could only bow his head as hate poured in from all sides.

While seemingly everyone's attention was focused on Gohan, Bra stood and went out the same door Uub did. Vegeta briefly cracked open an eye and watched her leave before closing it once again. He was incredibly annoyed by the recent events and fully planned on focusing this frustration in his super saiyan 3 training.

Uub was looking at the stars, wondering if one of them had a dragon ball resting on it. He reached his hands towards them and wondered if he could ever simply grab them out the sky.

"It's not your fault you know," the voice of of Bra said behind him. She walked up to him and stood right next to him, her face once again in a book. She was only a couple of inches shorter than Uub.

"Thanks, but your words aren't going to change how I feel," Uub said without looking at her.

She looked out at the corner of her eyes before turning them back to the book. "So that's what kind of person you are. Honestly, I'm disappointed."

Uub turned and stared at her in confusion. "Huh?"

A loud ranged through the air as Bra closed her book. "You are a coward," her voice was soft, but her words cold. "I can see it in your eyes. You have already given up hope of getting the dragon balls and have already started 'wishing' instead of 'doing'."

She turned and started slowly walking back to her home. "I had hoped the one trained by the great hero of Earth, Goku, would be capable of showing just a bit more will power," She pointed towards the house now, "I can easily tell tell you right now that not a single person in that room believes that Goku will be stuck in that form forever, not even Goku.

"They are already thinking of a way to fix this problem while you sit here and wish." Bra turned back and looked at Uub with a cold glare. "In fact, I already have the schematics for a ship capable of high speed travel through space in my mind under work. Give me 2 months and, with the help of my mother, I should be finished. Another month and I should be able to create a radar capable sensing the dragon balls in their latent state.

"I'm fully prepared to embark on this journey, the question is, are you?" With those words Bra marched back into the house, leaving Uub to stare at where she once was with a shocked expression. Slowly, but surely, his hands crumbled into fists and he turned his head towards the sky once more.

But this time he wasn't staring wistfully.

This time his eyes glowed a fierce red as he glared at the stars.

This time, he was determined.

A figure stood in the shadows, a table filled with various pieces that vaguely resembled frogs on one side, and golden apples on the other.

"Lord Apieze! We bring good news!" A soldier ran up to him from behind."

"Report," the lord responded.

"Zemato reports that he has finished off the salarians and Cheereze reports that the asari are close to caving in!" The soldier reported.

"Excellent, you are dismissed."

The soldier didn't leave. Instead he shifted nervously on one foot and the other. The soldier knew how nhis lord typically responded to anything involving the former tyrant of the galaxy. "S-sir."

"Yes?"

"Pearze has had a new dream. A dream involving the dragon balls."

The lord said nothing at first, but slowly he started chuckling. The chuckling turned into full blown laughter and he soon had tears appear in his eyes. "Seriously, that bastard was right about their existence!? That's the funniest thing I've heard in weeks! That means he really died in pursuit of them!"

The lord slowly calmed down and looked at the spooked soldier with a delighted look in his golden eyes.

"Tell Pearze that I order him to focus all his energyon the dragon balls. We're going hunting!" His mile stretched out as a sinister glint gleamed in his golden eyes

He just knew that this was another sign from the gods themselves that he was on the right course.

He knew that he was destined to conquer the universe.

I think it's a good idea for me to list a few power levels so:

Uub - 30,000,000,000

Pan - 1,000,000

Bra - 123,000

Besides that I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
