~2 Years Later~

Saji fell on her rear in the dirt from the force of Broly's kick, but she had to recover quickly to dodge his foot before it slammed into the ground where she once was. She hopped back a few feet to add some distance between them, allowing her to catch her breath before kicking off the ground to rush back at Broly. She threw a hard punch at his stomach, but he easily sidestepped her attack, making her fly past him. She was left wide open and he retaliated with an uppercut to her stomach, making her cough up some spittle. He then grabbed her by the hair and threw her far off into the distance, towards a rock pillar. Luckily, Saji caught herself before she could slam into the rock and she growled to herself as she flipped over to land on the side of the pillar, only to push off it and send herself flying back towards Broly.

He got ready for her next attack, which he figured would be another punch, but this time she used her speed to faze behind him at the last second and slam her foot into his back, sending him flying this time. However, he recovered much faster than she did, and he caught himself before turning around and firing a stream of energy blasts in her direction, forcing her to jump up and away to dodge and avoid them by flying. While she was preoccupied with that, however, Broly rushed at her from behind to grab the back of her head and dive down towards the ground. Her eyes widened and she shut her eyes tightly as she braced for impact, but it never came. She hesitantly opened an eye, and when she did, she saw the ground inches away from her face, but Broly was holding her above it, smiling at her mischievously.

"I win." He told her triumphantly, letting her go.

Saji caught herself on her hands and knees when she hit the ground, rolling over to look up at him. She puffed her cheeks out in a pout as she looked up at him. "You always win…" She whined.

Broly was incredibly fast at learning and adapting to fighting, she was pretty good too, but nowhere near him. His smile only widened at her whining before he offered a hand up. Despite losing, she wasn't a sore loser and she took his hand, not to mention they were close friends.

"I don't think I'll ever beat you, Broly."

"Probably not." He told her with a grin.

She giggled and rolled her eyes playfully before hitting him on the arm gently. "Well now I have to! I'll beat you eventually! I promise!"

He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by his stomach as it growled loudly. The two of them stared at his stomach for a moment, then at Saji's once hers started to growl, then up at each other before laughing softly.

"Let's get food! I'm starving!" Saji told him.

"Me too!" Broly exclaimed excitedly, taking off into the sky to look for one of the creatures that roamed the surface. The meat in their legs was actually pretty good.

"H-Hey! Wait up!" Saji called as she took off after him, flying next to him.

Its been two years since Paragus and Broly found Saji and nursed her back to health, and they had gotten close over those two years, to the point where they were inseparable. After all, all they had was each other, Paragus, and at one point, there was a creature they named Bah that was their friend. Unfortunately, Paragus didn't approve of the creature and them being friends and made sure they wouldn't stay friends. Saji's parents never returned to Vampa either, and the wound her father gave her had healed, but was now a large scar running diagonally across her chest.

There wasn't much for clothing, other than what they skinned or came to the planet with, so Saji was just wearing some white cloth wrapped around her chest, and the same pants she came here with from her battle suit. She didn't mind her scar so visible around Broly, he was her best friend after all, but she was still unsure around Paragus, probably because of how her own father treated her. Still, Broly loved his father, so Saji did trust him to some extent, but she always felt better when Broly was nearby. Paragus wasn't sure when the three of them would get off Vampa, if they ever did, but neither Saji nor Broly seemed to mind it, unlike Paragus, they've lived on this planet almost all their lives, so it was easier for them.

"Oh! There's some!" Saji pointed at a small group of the large bug-like creatures not too far from where they were.

Broly looked at where she was pointing and smirked a bit before rushing towards them, Saji following close behind. These things used to be annoying to kill or break a limb off, but not so much anymore. Saji raised a hand to fire a few energy blasts at some of the creatures, aiming for their legs. Broly, on the other hand, flew right through them, literally, breaking off their limbs with his bare hands. They didn't need much, just one or two was enough for each of them. Soon, most of the creatures were either dead or limbless and crying out in pain. Saji landed and, as they usually did, she and Broly bumped the sides of their fists together, smiling to each other. They then picked up all the legs they harvested and took off towards a shaded area they always ate and played at.

They both landed inside a large cave, a decent distance away from where Paragus was, and cleared out the empty shells from last time they were there. They both dropped the fresh food down on the ground before plopping down next to each other and digging in. They never took the meat from the rest of the creatures' bodies after the first time they tried it, the meat wasn't as good and there was a lot of organs they'd have to clean out. They even got sick one time, and it was deadly since they didn't have any medicine. At least with the legs, they just had to pull or break them apart to get to the meat and liquid inside.

"Broly?" Saji asked after swallowing a mouthful of food.

"Hm?" Broly grunted, glancing at her from the corner of his eye as he ate.

"Do you think we'll get off this planet like your dad says?"

He shrugged a bit in response. "I dunno. I like it here." He looked at her now. "Do you want to leave…?" He had a rather sad tone in his voice when he asked.

She stared at him for a moment, blinking a few times, before smiling. "As long as you want to stay here, I do too! I wanna stay with you forever!"

"Forever?" He asked her curiously.

She nodded in response. "Mhm! Forever!"

He was silent for a moment before a smile formed on his lips and he nodded back at her. "Good! I don't want you to leave either!"

She giggled softly at his words. "I won't, I promise!" She then went back to eating her food, Broly doing the same.

Once they finished, Broly belched loudly, a satisfied smile on his face, getting a laugh out of Saji after she heard it. That was another thing they liked about being together, Paragus was always so strict with manners, training, schedules, etc., but they could just be themselves when they were alone and together without worrying. Saji sighed contently and leaned back against the wall of the cave for a moment before getting an idea.

"Hey Broly, let's play It again!" Saji suggested eagerly. "It" was their version of tag, no flying, no fighting, just running around trying to tag each other.

Broly perked up at that, sitting up and nodding eagerly. "Okay!" Broly immediately ran up and tapped her shoulder before running out of the cave before she could tag him. "You're it!"

"Hey! No fair!" She exclaimed, chasing after him as quickly as she could/

Normally she was at a disadvantage since he was so fast, but she usually outsmarted him by thinking outside the box. She saw him run towards a maze-like rock formation and smiled to herself before climbing up the side of the rocks to find and get to him faster. She ran around, jumping across gaps easily, for a while, and soon enough she found him. He was hiding in one of the corners and trying not to giggle as he waited to see her run past him. Unfortunately for him, she already knew where he was and laid down on her stomach to reach down and tap the top of his head.

"You're it!" She told him with a grin, quickly pulling her hand back and standing up to start running, after all, she wasn't the only who could climb.

"Get back here!" He yelled as he chased after her.

They continued to play "it" throughout the rest of the short day, enjoying every second of their playtime like usual. After a while, however, it started to get dark out and they both walked back to their own cave together to get some sleep, it wasn't the first time they've spent the night away from Paragus since they could take care of themselves. The two of them sat down next to each other in the back of the cave to avoid the wind and sand that would get into the first part of the cave.

Saji yawned and stretched out a bit before laying down on the ground. "That was fun, Broly." She told her friend.

Broly shot her a smile before laying down next to her. "Yeah, I wanna do this every day forever." He told her.

She gave him a cute, innocent child. "Me too! But I'm tired…"

"Me too…" He yawned before undoing the green fur from around his waist and pulling it over them both for warmth. They always slept next to each other like this, they felt safer and it was warmer than sleeping alone. "Night, Saji." He whispered.

"Night, Broly." She gave him one more small smile before falling asleep.

Unfortunately, Paragus eventually caught them sneaking away to play together without his permission and he scolded them both about it, especially Broly since he already lectured his son about this. Just to get his point across, he forced the two apart for a few days, only letting them be together again when they proved they would train hard and not waste time with playing. Of course, this affected the two children quite a bit, making it harder to focus on training at first, and Broly became a bit unstable with his anger as well, but then they had to work hard to be together again. After Paragus let the two of them be together again, he forbade them from going off on their own unless he knew for certain they would not play.
