After Goku and Chichi had disappeared the Announcer had made Goku the winner of his first quarter final battle. Goku would have to go against Tien next but two other battles would need to take place. Piccolo rubbed the bridge of his nose as he tried to make sense of everything that was happening. He was leaning against the wall where the entrance to great hall was located as he tried to get a better feel of his surroundings. The noise of so many people was not helping him relax, everything felt very wrong. One moment he was guarding hell and the next he was watching Goku and his wife fight against each other. It had taken him a moment to figure out where he was and the conversation he heard from Goku and Chichi, gave him a pretty good idea. He let out a deep sigh, as he try to figure out why he was here beside the obvious which was to help Goku. He grunt and let out a sigh. He was not a marriage councillor! Once Goku gets back with Chichi, he will need to talk to them but as of right now he needed to keep the timeline flowing the way it should be. He heard familiar voices and closed his eyes pretending to ignore them like he had done when he was younger. He scanned their ki's trying to sense something familiar from his timeline but only one person besides Goku and Chichi felt familiar. He wonder if they will all start showing up like he had done to this place in time or was it just a chosen few.

Bulma took a quick gaze at Piccolo as they pass him to get inside the building where Yamcha and Krillin where in. She run a hand over her hair feeling a little lost and out of place. At least nothing seemed out of place as of yet. She had been excited to be young again and in her early 20's but why?. Not that she was complaining but did she really want to know the answer to that? She sigh as she follow their little group where Yamcha and Krillin where. Yamcha walked to her and smiled the moment he saw here. Bulma felt sick to her stomach, she would have to break his heart all over again.

"Where is Goku?" Oolong ask as Pu'ar floated beside him.

"That is what we don't know" Krillin rubbed his chin as he was lost in thought. "He just vanished along with that girl called Chichi."

Bulma knew what Goku had done the moment she saw it and was able to put together what was happening from the shouting Chichi had done during the fight. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Piccolo enter the hall but kept his distance as if he could camoflash against the wall. She didn't find it odd since he did that too when she first met him, always ear dropping on their conversations.

"I don't know" began Master Roshi as he rubbed his beard, "Something is different about him and he seems like he has finally grown up"

"What do you mean?" ask Yamcha looking a bit puzzled as Tien folded his his arms as if accepting this to be the case.

"He has finally noticed girls for once and is not taking...No..for an answer" The old man laughed which brought a common groan from everyone. Then he clear his throat and got very serious, "Does anyone know who is Gohan, Goten and Pan?" no one knew what to say and he began to rub his bear once more as he look up, "They must seem pretty important for the moment the young lady said she didn't care about them…" he stopped and looked at his former students carefully, "He send her flying out of the arena. I never seen him that angry before...well once and that was when Krillin had been killed."

Bulma licked her lips and rubbed her arms, she didn't like what was happening. There must be a reason why she was brought to this spot in time but there was also the risk of changing the future. She just hope that Goku and Chichi didn't mess up the timeline anymore that they already had or they will risk everything. She might not even get to meet Vegeta and their children from not being born. She wrap her arms around herself without thinking, she missed her little family and having been dead for a few years only grew her need for them. Everything that was going on was a heartache to her but she will work her ass off to make things right and fix whatever it was that brought her there.

"Bulma are you okay?" whisper Yamcha to her and placed an arm around her shoulders trying to comfort her.

She nodded, "I am just getting a headache, that is all" she weakly smiled at him, hoping he will take the bait. He smiled weakly back at her as she felt him get nervous, "What is it Yamcha?"

"Well….." he began and knew if he told her, she would scream at him until he lost his ear drums. "You see, Chichi...the King Ox's daughter...I met her before a few years back.." then he added quickly, "which was about the same time I met you and Goku.." He began to get even more nervous.

Bulma wanted to roll her eyes since she knew what he was going to say to her which was the same thing he had done years back. "Just spit it out already!" she snap at him out of habit.

Yamcha gulped, "At the time, I had accidently hit her." he made a chop move to show her as he talked, "Then I heard who she was and went back to help her wake up but once she woke up, I lie and told her I was in loved with her" He saw Bulma rolled her eyes and sighed before motioning with her hands for him to continue. Yamcha took this as a good sign, "I thought that would be the end of it since I never met her after that until today."

"You don't have to worry about it.." Bulma began to state the obvious, "She came for Goku since he was the one to ask for her hand and not you, correct?" She gave him the evil eye. She didn't want him to feel bad but she knew something had changed from the argument she had overheard between Goku and Chichi. She had a feeling that this was where Yamcha was heading.

Yamcha began to tremble under her gaze, "Well that is just it. She said….she came to marry me...who would have thought she would become such a pretty girl..."

"W-H-A-T?!" Screamed Bulma.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said that" Gulped Yamcha.

"Come out from there M." Raditz commanded in his rough voice as he folded his arms. He watched Vegeta leave the ship safely towards Freeza through one of the windows by the docking section.

"I can't believe you were able to sense me even after I lower my power level to almost nothing." the female voice sounded not impress as Raditz then turn to look at the direction of her voice.

Raditz saw the long curls tied into a pigtail begin to appear follow by big green eyes on her heart shaped face of the female in question. Tan hands with long nails held to her belt buckle that came with her standard uniform identical to his. She walked towards him barely reaching his shoulders as she look up at him. He saw her red painted lips curl in a grin. "If my sister and I help you, would you let us come with you?" she placed her hands over his chest as she lick her lips and batting her eyelashes at him, "It might be fun" She almost purr the last words out. They had only met twice and he found her pleasantly annoying humanoid. She was always following like the stray pet he never wanted.

Raditz narrow his eyes but he had heard rumors, "I don't put it pass you to have heard everything and how do I know you can be trusted?"

M growled in frustration and poked him in the chest, "I saved your ass just last week from one of the higher rank who wanted to kill you!" She narrow her eyes back as her cheeks puff in frustration, "...Just because you looked at him the wrong way!" She reminded him.

He bend down slightly until they were nose to nose with each other, "Should I be grateful you slept with him so I could be spare?" he growled, "Spare me the dramatics" those words barely came out from Raditz's mouth when he was slapped hard enough that his face was now looking at a different location of the hall. His cheek had a slight red sting and let out a growl as he looked at her in the eye once more.

"Believe what you want" she huffed "Stupid ungrateful Ape!" M then left him alone as fast could move away from him.

He quickly stood up straight once more and grinned as he rubbed his cheek before his eyes went back towards the window. He knew the slap was well deserve but the rumors that he had heard about Mai and that elite had been eating at him. The slap didn't prove her innocence but it gave him a distraction of the overwhelming task ahead of them once Vegeta deals with Freeza. Raditz then groaned as he heard a familiar male laughter. If is not a female is a Nappa...why did he have to wake up today instead of being passed out in bed!

"Having female problems there Raditz…" Nappa now stood beside him and looked to the window to see what was so interesting. Vegeta was long gone by now to his relief.

"That is none of your business or mine. The woman is free to sleep with whomever she wants" He folded his arms as he took a defensive stand.

Nappa just looked at him from the corner of his eyes, "If you say so just remember that when we find a woman, they become our weakness" Raditz gave him a dirty look which made Nappa chuckle, "But I wouldn't worry since the word going around that she also might have killed him for you"

"What?" Raditz's face faulted for a few seconds before he regain his composure.

"Yeap, he had been gutted like a new piece of meat for breakfast. If you ask me….that is what we probably had for breakfast" Nappa laughed.

Why didn't he heard that rumor before? Probably since he was too busy being angry at her for butting in and then….He didn't want to think what that rest of his feelings where.

"If I were you I would be careful with her.." began to warned Nappa, "She is not one of Freeza's elite spies for nothing. Freeza send her to follow us not so long ago remember during one of our missions. If Vegeta had not been so paranoid that we were being followed we would have never found out about her"

"Don't remind me...I was the bait for that little trap he set up"

"He had figure it out that everything happen around you, so why not?" Nappa laugh, "I can still remember the look on your face when you look down as you were about to pull down..."

"Enough!" Raditz's commanded as his cheeks had turned almost red, "I don't want to be reminded of that"

The older Saiyan then grinned, "You were lucky her belt malfunction the moment Vegeta splashed her with that weird water he found...Before she could take a very up close and personal look at you"

Raditz's fumed for he had not forgiven them yet for using him as bait without telling him. "Before I forget to tell you, Vegeta left to see Freeza a while ago. He came to the docking area just as I finished looking over the pods"

Nappa stop laughing and run a hand over his bald head. "So he is really going through with it..then"

Raditz looked at him, "What is he planning?"

"He thinks he can take out Freeza...but I wouldn't worry about it. I told Bee, Mai's twin sister to pass the information along so they can stop him before he does something stupid. I haven't kept you two idiots out of trouble all this time just to mess it all up now."

"Vegeta will kill you once he finds out" Raitz snarled at older Saiyan who only shrugged in response.

"I doubt it, since there is only us left plus your brother. Vegeta is not stupid enough to kill me since I am his guardian and the only one left who knows all the secrets of our people"

Bulma was now fuming and walking up and down by the women's washroom area as she search for Master Roshi. The leecher had vanished during her shouting section with Yamcha. Her head hurt now and she was going to name this migraine Chichi. She groaned as she inspected another stall. She will need to keep pretending to be in love with Yamcha to make Chichi back off and hopefully give Goku the time he needed. Bulma kicked the last stall open to find it empty.

"Damn it all!" she shouted to the stall before turning around just to hit a something warm and solid. She blinked a few times before backing away and looking up, "Piccolo?"

"Follow me...we need to talk" He then turned out and left, leaving a bewilder Bulma behind him.
