One month later:
After Gohan informed the Z warriors of Goku's arrival and the upcoming tournament. However their motives for training were different throughout, since the humans were training for the tournament so they would not be last. While the legendary super sayain was training so he could be the strongest. Now a day before the tournament the fighters were putting the finishing touches on their training.

" Take this Piccolo!" Vegeta roared he swiped at his namekian sparring partner.

" Ya!" Piccolo let out a battle cry as he evaded his super sayain foes attack.

Soon the two warriors were clashing against each other going blow for blow.

" I must commend you Piccolo." Vegeta began and he reverted back to his natural form and his muscles loosened, " Over the last 7 years you kept up with my strength level. You never gave me leverage and I must thank you for that. Without you I would never have become the warrior I am now."

" Same goes to you Vegeta, you pushed me beyond my limits and then some."

" Ok see you tomorrow I'm going to rest a little and hang out with my family."

" See you Vegeta." Piccolo called as they watched the prince of all sayain's blitz into the distance.

" Hey Piccolo, how have you been?" Gohan asked as he landed on the lookout surface.

" Good, how has school been."

" Boring per usually."

" Weren't you supposed to be training Videl and Goten?"

" Videl went on to train on her own time last week, and Goten mastered super sayain a few weeks back. He's hanging out with Trunks now."

( Authors Note: I skipped Gohan's school+Videl drama. Too much work lol)

" Why are you here anyway?"

" I actually assumed you would be meditating so I came to join you."

Meanwhile with Bulma and Chichi…

" This is great, we have to do this more often." Bulma proclaimed as she took a sip of her luscious red wine.

" Agreed, for once I'm not feeding or tending to my super sayain children." Chichi replied as she licked her lips savoring the flavors.

" Chichi, how can you be so calm? The love of your life is coming back for the first time in 7 years! I would be damn excited."

" I know. I am really am excited. I cannot wait to see him. If it wasn't for Gohan I'd panicking."

" Ok, just try not to break down at the sight of him, you'll look crazy in front of everyone if you do." Bulma warned as a smirk crept onto her sharp features.

" Ugh, I haven't even thought about that…" Chichi began before she noticed Bulma was giggling manically, " How are you laughing at?" She questioned.

"... Sorry." Bulma chuckled as she finished the last of her wine.

" Anyway, Who do you think has the best shot of winning the tournament besides Gohan and his bulky training partner Broly?" Chichi asked.

" Probably MY Vegeta. He has been training hard recently."

" On top of MY Goku?!" Chichi asked exasperatedly.

" I mean come on Chichi. Goku did want to pass the torch down to Gohan, that does imply retirement. While Vegeta has been busting his butt every day."

" MY Goku would never slack, even in times of peace he was training!"

" MY Vegeta is a prince over your Goku!"

" Fine we'll have to see during the tournament!"

"... Chichi we shouldn't quarrel today. Tomorrow will be filled with arguments, today we should keep a level head and just be friends."

Chichi sighed as she put her wine glass down, " Your right."

" Hi Chichi. Hi baby." Vegeta greeted as he planted a kiss on his wife's forehead.

" I think we should be going now, it's now 9pm and if we don't leave now my children won't be able to get out of the house tomorrow." Chichi lifted herself off the couch, and called Goten to the living room.

" Bye Trunks see you tomorrow." Goten said as he walked out of the house Chichi trailing behind. " Did you have fun sweetheart?"

" Yeah, Trunks and I were playing NBA 2K 16."

" You kids and your video games."

At Goku:

" Goku are you ready to go back to earth?"

" Hell yeah, it's been too long. I miss everyone, Chichi… Gohan."

" Ok that's good, and remember no super sayain 3. It cut's off your time with the living." King Kai reminded Goku of the con's of using his new transformation.

" Yeah I remember. Gohan even asked me not to use super sayain, he doesn't want to reveal his identity to his school mates."

" Ok Goku, I suggest you get some rest. Tomorrow will be a long day and I know you want to be at full strength. You don't want to be resting when you have a 24 hour time limit."

" Ok goodnight."

Back to Gohan and Piccolo…

" I hope father is proud of my strength level." Gohan telepathically informed his former mentor as he continue to emit an electrifying aura from his body.

" Oh he will. You have improved leaps and bounds since the last time he's seen you. He'd have to be a fool to not recognize your progress. He may be little dull when it comes to common sense, but he is a guru when it comes to fighting." Piccolo replied as the blue aura that pulsated around his body rapidly increased in pace.

" Piccolo, it's getting late. I'm going to head out now. See you tomorrow for the tournament." Gohan said as he lifted himself off the ground.

" See you."

That night anxiety took over the Z-Warriors bodies as they thought of the things to come for the next day.

Next Day at the Tournament grounds:

" Is everyone here?" Gohan asked as he finished signing up for the tournament.

" Yeah everyone but Goku." Krillin replied.

" Where could he be? I'm starting to think he won't show."

" Don't worry Gohan, your father used to love these things when we were your age. There's no way he'd miss it." Krillin reassured his godchild.

(Authors Note: In this fic Krillin is Gohan's godfather.)

" Come on Trunks it's our turn to sign up." Goten called as he walked up to the registration booth.

" Um excuse me how old are you guys?" The man asked.

" 7 and 8." Goten and Trunks responded.

" Ok here's the junior division sheet."

" Junior division?! But we want to fight with the adults!"

" Sorry kiddo's you have to be 16 to fight with the adults."

" But why?" The kid's whined.

The registration man sighed frustrated, " So little children like you don't fight big men!"

" Fine! We'll sign up for the junior division."

Once everyone signed up for the tournament a man in an orange ki teleported in front of their view. " Hi." He greeted happily.
