Life was peaceful in Capsule City. There was a day where an evil alien raised a dragon strong enough to defeat Goku and Vegeta. Evil would have plunged the world into darkness. Bridges would have falled. One brave Saiyan boy, a lavender haired warrior named Trunks, tearfully killed the host of the dragon taking the evil down with it. The Saiyans look into a new future. One without battles or carnage.
" Try to catch my tail, Goten."
" Wait up Trunks!"
" No way. Catch me if you can slowpoke."
Vidal hated kids. She hated the sound they made when they laugh. She hated how they never listen to her. And she hated the sound they made when they cry. Vidal thought since Goten was Gohan's brother he'd be more mature—turns out he was just like all the boy's she knew in the second grade; very stupid and energetic. Goten's friend Trunk's wasn't any better. He would lead Goten to make stupid decisions.
Vidal probably wouldn't spend the time of day with these two if she didn't need their help. Vidal was tomboyish. She was strong, fast, had short hair, and said bad words to people most of the time. Vidal liked this boy. She wasn't sure if he liked her. Maybe if she had long hair and gentle attributes he would like her. Love to her was a pinnacle power. The one thing that could give her beauty was the Potata Kagami Mirror.
There was once a boy who lived in a poor house and was in love with a gentle princess. The boy was kind, but his face was hideous. He couldn't fit in with normality. Then one day he found a mirror with dragon teeth that could grant him his beautiful appearance. The man became handsome. He married the princess and they lived happily ever after. Or did they? Vidal didn't know. She only got to the "handsome" part of the story in her trigonometry class.
This all started in the morning. Goten was in Master Roshi's house. Master Roshi was the only friend to have a working television set. Goten spent the whole morning watching gangster movies, studying how the gangsters do things, when the door opened and Goten's mother storm in.
" Goten, why are you here instead of cleaning dishes like I asked you?"
Chichi was made. She scowled at Goten with a very angry face. Goten gulped. " I-I was asked to do chore's in Master Roshi's house, mama."
" Don't you lie to me! You were just watching TV! You're always watching TV! Where's Roshi!"
Goten nervously pointed outside. Chichi turned to the window. Outside she saw Roshi sitting on his lawn chair, leisurely enjoying a magazine of women in swimsuits. Roshi was so busy drooling over them he didn't notice Chichi stomping towards him.
" Oh yeah!" Roshi said flipping the pages. " Yeah! Yeah! Yeah—" A hand grabbed Roshi's magazine and ripped a hole through the model. Roshi's heart almost gave out when he saw Chichi's furor eyes. " Chichi, uh—it's good to see you."
" Why did you let Goten stay here instead of doing the dishes?"
" Oh, is Goten here? Hehehe. It must have slipped my mind. Chichi, I'm sure we can solve this problem if you just walk inside."
Chichi saw something small fly away on a yellow cloud. It was the Flying Nimbus, and the person who was flying away was flying away was Goten.
" Goten, get back here!"
" Hehehe." Roshi laughed. " That boy is gone. None of us can catch him."
" Let me use your phone."
" Chichi, I know you are feeling stressed being a worrywart mother, but my phone is only for—"
Chichi grabbed Master Roshi by his beard and raised him over her head. " Give me your phone!"
" Yes ma'am."

Meanwhile…
Trunk's was with his mother, Bulma, the scientist. Bulma was working on some kind of ray gun. At least Trunk's thought it was a ray gun. It was big, heavy, with a multitude of buttons, and an antenna on the front. Bulma took one last puff of her cigarette and rubbed it in the ash tray.
" Whatcha working on, mom?"
" Oh, just something that will save world hunger, Trunk's?"
Bulma opened a small hatch in the ray gun and poured seeds inside it. Bulma closed the hatch and raised her gun to a plate. The antennas glowed green, the headlights above Trunk's flickered, and a ray of green light fired at the plate. Fruit appeared on the plate.
" I'm such a genius." Bulma put down her ray gun. The inside of the hatch glowed orange. Bulma walked up to the plate, picked a juicy looking red apple up, and took a bite. " Mmm. I have created real fruit. I can give my produce to kids who need them."
" Mom, no kid wants to eat fruit. What we're really hungry for is accelerated nachos."
" Woman!" Bulma heard the angry uproar of Vegeta. Vegeta stepped into Bulma's lab carrying a cardboard box. " Pickup your mail."
Vegeta placed the package besides their fruit plate, and ate a bowl of sliced bananas.
" Who could it be?" Bulma pulled the tape of the box. She opened the box to find a lot of Styrofoam peanuts. Sheathed in plastic bag Bulma found a doll. This doll looked like a monkey, two monkey tails sticking out its back, and golden eyes, its body covered in golden fur. " Is this a present for Trunk's?"
Bulma pulled the monkey out of its plastic, sticking out its back, turned a small crank on the other side of the monkey. Bulma turned the crank around, a high-pitch voice was heard.
" Help me prince Saiyan. I lost my planet. Can you help me find it?"
Vegeta turned his gaze on the doll. He walked up to it and snatched it out of Bulma's hands. Then he turned the crank around listening to the voice.
" Help me prince Saiyan. I lost my planet. Can you help me find it? Help me prince Saiyan. I lost my planet. Can you help me find it?"
Vegeta spun the doll with all his might. He listened to it over and over again. The crank burned red hot from all the times Vegeta turned it. The handle and the doll broke. Vegeta dropped the piece in his hand.
" Trunk's, go outside."

Trunk's walked outside like his father asked and Trunk's flew away from home to the park. In the park he had swings, teeter-totters, sand box, and monkey bars. But Trunk's climbed trees. He climbed like a cat, his claws digging through the bark; he climbed the top of the tree and turned into a Super Saiyan.
His glowing gold hair was a beckon for something looming towards him.
Goten appeared before Trunks on his Flying Nimbus Cloud. The air shimmered as Goten jumped off the flying Nimbus and landed on the top of the tree with Trunks.
" Hi Trunks," Goten said, a smile widened across his face. " What are you going here?"
" Dad told me to get out of the house. What are you doing here Goten?"
" Mom tried to make me do dishes again. I flew as fast as I could away from Master Roshi's house. I didn't know where else to turn."
" Why didn't you find your brother Goten? It's the weekend—he doesn't have school today, right?"
" Mom's making Goten go to college seminar's so he can choose which college he's going to take. Mom wants him to be a scholar more than anything in the world."
" So your brother has to do all those long and boring things grown-ups do. " Do us all a favor Goten. Don't grow up. "
Goten and Trunks heard a loud scream piercing through the air. Birds fluttered away from the trees and bushes when they heard that scream.
" What was that?" Goten asked.
" I don't know—let's check it out. "
Goten and Trunks flew off the tree and flew to where the voice was coming from. Down below they saw a helpless, yet very attractive and curvaceous high school girl, being attacked by three men. All of them had black hair. One was taller and more muscular than the three, another wore sunglasses, and the third one was shorter than the other three with a tinted headband around his head.
The small man tried to fondle the scared woman's chest. She smacked his hand away. A small red bruise mark burned in his hands, the girl was dragged by the two men and pushed to the ground. Above her the small man unsheathed a katana from its red scabbard. The man raised his katana over his head about to hack...
" Halt!"
The three men turned their attention away from the blond haired girl. Behind them was a girl. This one looked seventeen had short black hair, and a green shirt with an orange skirt. She scowled at the three men while crossing her arms.
" What the hell do you want?" The middle one said.
" Leave the girl alone or I will hurt you."
Silence. The three men didn't say anything for a whole minute. Vidal thought they were regretting their actions, but they all laughed out loud. The blond haired girl shimmered when she heard their harsh laughter, and the tall one walked up to Vidal and placed his right hand on her shoulder.
" Move along, bridezilla."
Vidal quickly grabbed the man by his right hand, twisted it, and threw him to the ground. " Don't touch me!"
Vidal threw that man face first into the pavement. His face broke and his face became all bloody. The tall guy's brother with the sunglasses pulled a knife out of his trousers and stabbed Vidal. Vidal quickly gripped her hand on the man's elbow, raised him off the ground like he was made of cardboard, threw him on the ground.
Both of the last guy's brothers were easily defeated by Vidal's strength. The girl with the blond haired was quiet as she looked at the awesome job she did. The last guy trembled as Vidal walked up to him, standing over him lying on the ground with his face up to Vidal, and seeing the darkness that shrouded her face.
" Now say you're sorry to her!"
" I'm sorry!"
The man quickly got off his feet and ran as fast as he could away from Vidal. Except he ran back and dragged his two brothers along with him. Despite how small he appeared to be he actually had lots of strength. Vidal turned to the blond haired girl and smiled.
" Are you okay?" She asked her.
" Yes…I'm fine," the blond haired girl replied.
" That's good. If you ever run into jerks like those again you know who to call."
The girl hastily bowed her head to Vidal. Vidal was her saviour. And as long as the girl was alive she would never forget the kindness she's shown her. The girl turned around and ran away from Vidal.
Vidal saw two figures looming over her. She had a good feeling one of them was a boy her age that was tall and muscular and cute—imagine the surprise on her face when she saw they were little brats? Her jaw dropped to the floor. However, Vidal smiled as she noticed one of them.
" Oh, it's you two."
" Hey Videl," Goten smiled. " Kicking bad guys butts today?"
" Yeah, isn't your father the one whose suppose to protect his own city, not his only daughter?" Trunks asked.
" Dad is at home sleeping. You think if he fibs about beating Cell and saving the city he can at least act like it. But I'm happy I found you two."
" You are?" Goten and Trunks said.
" Yes. I read about something interesting I want you guys to help me find."

And that was the events that took place before Videl led them here. They walked up a giant mountain, Goten and Trunks were tackling each other the entire way up. A blood vessel was on the verge of popping through her head if she didn't find the mirror soon.
On the peak of the mountain Goten and Trunks waved to the sea-a vast ocean was on the shore below them.
" Hey Goten," said Trunks. " I bet I can spit farther than you from up here.:
" Your on Trunks."
Goten and Trunks opened their mouths and made disgusting noises. Goten and Trunks hurled their heads back to spit, but they were both bonked on the head by Videl.
" You two are disgusting!"
Trunks clenched his hands as he frowned at Videl. Then he pulled down a flap in his martial arts clothes and shaked his tan toned butt in her face.
" Nah! Nah! Nah! Nah!"
Videl was so angry she wanted to grab Trunks and throw him off the peak of the mountain. But Saiyan or not a fall from this height might leave a scab on him, and Videl was afraid of Trunks father. Videl focused her ki and flew over Trunks and Goten. Besides Android 18, Videl was the only girl the boys know could fly, and unlike Android 18 she had to learn it instead of being programmed.
Videl wanted to be strong but also beautiful. It was unfair to her. Gohan and his little brother always faced the strong opponents-Videl was the unpopular girl who watched her popular friend Erasa do cheerleading and go on dates with boys. The only boy Videl dated was when she was twelve, everyone called her Demi-Satan because she was smaller then the other girls, a boy in her class named Joey took her on a date to the Imax Theaters. But Joey only dated her because he lost a bet with his friends in ping-pong. Erasa and Videl became friends when Erasa found Videl crying in the girls locker room. Videl always had resentment towards boys who got close to her, but Gohan wasn't like those boys. He was really nice.
Videl laid back in the air, doing back strokes until she noticed something on the shore. There was a large coral castle. The castle was three feet high as a multitude of coral spikes protruded around the castle, and one big narrow entrance. Videl flew off the mountain and flew to the narrow entrance of the castle. Goten and Trunks flew down the mountain and followed Videl to the entrance. Videl was a little shakey walking through the entrance, but that was only because she was excited. The inside of the cave was beautiful. There were beautiful array's of pictures of winged, white creatures flying near the highly decorative stars.
" Wow, look at this place," Goten said marvelling the pretty piectures.
" Yeah, it's almost as big as Videl's butt," Trunks chuckled.
" No it isn't you guys!" Videl shouted.
The psychological sight of her was four times her normal height when she was upset. Goten and Trunks were little kids who cowered from the adult much bigger then them.
Videl touched the wall. Some black tar peeled off the walls and covered her fingers. What was this on her fingers? It didn't make sense until wax dripped from the ceilling and landed on her right cheek.
" This can't be..."
Videl saw a faint candle light burning from the ceiling. It was attached to a white string. Videl looked at her feet. A long piece of white rope was below her feet. Videl slightly twitched her foot and the candle moved simultaneously.
" We have to move!"
" Huh?" Both Goten and Trunks said in confusion.
" Why?" Trunks asked.
" Move now!"
Before Trunks could ask the same questoin Videl already dashed through the room, and stepped on several white ropes creating a chain reaction. Above their heads hundreds of candles fell from the ceiling and fell towards Goten and Trunks.
" I think we have to go now, Trunks."
" I'm right behind you, Goten."
Goten and Trunks dashed through the room. They dashed through the room, dodging rocks sticking from the ground, and they turned a corner with Videl. Behind them a fiery explosion could be heard.
" What was that?" Goten said.
" A trap set for people who enter this cave," Videl explained. " The room was covered in oil. Oil is very flammable. If I didn't notice it we would be barbecue."
" Speaking of barbecue..."
Both Trunks and Goten's stomachs grumbled at the same time. Videl's cheeks burned red from the sound they made.
" I'm hungry."
" This is now time to be hungry!"
" I'm so hungry," Goten moaned as he rubbed his stomach. " I didn't have anything for lunch."
" My gut is killing me," Trunks moaned as he rubbed his stomach as well.
" Can't you guys think less about food and more about my quest?"
" What's wrong with you?" Goten asked. " Don't you ever eat?"
