A/N: Good things come to those who wait and if any of you have taken a look at the new cover art for this story then I think you'll see that statement as truer than true. I had to delay updating last week because it was not ready, but now that it is, the latest installment is here! Full details about the cover art and where to find it as well as the truly amazing artist are in the ending author's notes; for now though enjoy the chapter! In the last chapter more of Eighteen's bad history with her brother became apparent, and Gohan finally found himself in a brief, but powerful sparring session with his new bodyguard. Too bad Chi-Chi didn't end up feeling the same when the blonde said the wrong word. And after making amends over a hot shower where even the Son mother couldn't take her eyes off of Eighteen's very well-endowed figure, three new guests arrived. Bulma, Yamcha, and Krillin joining the original trio for brunch who is that person hiding in just out of sight? Will Eighteen be able to join them before it's too late? Or is the poor girl's karma fueled nude streak continuing? Find out this time in Chapter 7 of Gohan's Blonde Future!

Son Home, Outside:

"Why, Bulma! Hello! How are you?..." Walking outside onto the wide open field she called a back yard to greet her best friend, Chi-Chi had only just gotten dressed following probably the most memorable shower she'd had since Gohan's conception. "...It's been so long...You know I missed you last week..." Her bright purple dress adorned with matching golden yellow waist bindings and an orange shawl, one would never have known a woman dressed as she was had moments ago been ogling a naked blonde girl, "...I'm glad you could make it now that Gohan's come home from training..." The two women happily holding hands as they shook them up in the air before them, there was no mistaking the close bond between them.

Smiling along with what was now her fellow mother, Bulma pursed her lips together when they met up, "Oh, I'm doing just fine, Chi-Chi!..." The slightly older woman's bright ocean blue hair waving back and forth as the two shook hands, she was clad in the latest of the many, many outfits she bought whenever she left the lab, an open orange jean vest with white pants, completed by a bright red shirt, the short material showing off the smooth midriff she'd kept in shape since her dragon ball hunting years, "...Actually I'm doing a lot better since having Trunks! It is so much nicer not carrying around the extra weight!..." Chi-Chi laughing along with her, the pair able to relate on one more thing now on top of the nonexistent men in their lives as well as a constant shortage of food. In fact they were having so much fun getting to catch up that neither of them noticed the other two passengers Bulma brought along stepping out of her hover car.

"Yeah...but I can see a couple other things that kept the weight on..." Yamcha said, grinning wide enough to make him look like a crazy person while he bent forward to talk to Krillin, one hand grasping his shoulder as the other pointed at the bluenette's more rounded curves, "...How come since we broke up she's always packing it on in all the right places?..." His newly cut hair sticking straight up on top of his head instead of the usual long wild man look he normally had, even if he and his bald friend had so much different up top, both of them were happy to be standing behind Bulma right now, "...Talk about getting better with age..." Chuckling together the longer they stared at the genius' rather voluptuous bottom it was only when the laughs finally came to an end that they looked up…

...To see Bulma and Chi-Chi staring back at them...oh they were in for it now… "...Excuse me, but last I recall who was it that cheated on me?..." Bulma turned around arching one eyebrow at the taller male, her hands planted firmly on her ' no longer Yamcha's' hips, though not especially aware of the attention she drew with the act, but not caring all the same, "...You Mr. Finally Cut Your Hair After Ten Years, screwed yourself!..." Closing her eyes as one of those self important smiles crept across her features, the Capsule Corp. scientist wasting no small opportunity to point out just how amazing she was, "...Now you don't get to enjoy my ravishing good looks every day...or night..." Brushing some hair up in her hand before letting it go just to further emphasize her beautiful appearance, the guys meanwhile, could do little else, but sigh.

The air starting to clear now that the scientist was done making a hard life even more difficult for her ex-boyfriend, Chi-Chi decided now was a good time to mention a rather important development as of late, "...Speaking of good looks, Bulma… You still haven't met our new guest..." The Son mother putting to bed the last of the argument that the bluenette had simply won through ego alone; that woman didn't know the meaning of post postpartum depression it seemed, "...You know who I'm talking about, right?..." She went on, now with the guys quiet again, they could continue talking like actual decent not Roshi human beings, "...The one I called you about that Gohan met in the woods out back while he was fishing..."

Bulma opening her eyes again, more surprised that she'd forgotten about this new person than anything else, spun back around, Yamcha simply winking at Krillin again as they got back to their studying, "...Do you have the clothes I asked for her?..." Looking over at her best friend, she didn't need to ask, but all the same it was fun to anyhow, "...It wouldn't be as important if they were for me, but she needs them quite a bit more if you know what I mean..." The brunette's words doing a lot more than raising some eyebrows over with the students of Roshi in the peanut gallery, they were forgotten for now so with the snap of her finger Bulma was already steaming passed that little detail.

Nodding her head with a smile, Bulma reached into her vest pocket, and pulling out a shiny new case of dynocaps, with the flick of her hands she tossed one onto the ground, a couple small parcels appearing out of the smoke, "...You know I did!… How could I resist helping dress up your new friend?..." Picking up one of them, she held it out to give to the brunette, her eyes still closed in that super confident smile that so far three alien invasions, demons, countless unwanted disrobings, and a child out of wedlock hadn't managed to shatter, "...They're the most sought after at my new Western store!..." Offering it to her fellow woman as if she had made the time machine instead of bought some clothes, though as far as Eighteen was concerned she deserved just as much credit, "...Even I had a bit of a rough time getting a hold of them! No put intended! Haha!..."

Laughing along with the bluenette Chi-Chi motioned for Gohan to come over. The trio of some of his oldest friends saying their hellos to the young man, somehow it seemed whenever they all met up he had grown just a little bit older by a year or so, "...Here, Gohan...please take this to Eighteen for me, okay?..." Taking the package from Bulma, the boy's mother handed it to him, the loosely wrapped parcel more cumbersome in its shape than actually weighing anything considering it was women's clothes and not RIT armor, "...Just leave it by the bathroom door and knock three times, alright?..." A smile appearing on his face, he nodded in agreement before rushing off with his delivery. Really it was times like these that she could rely on him to be a good, proper gentleman instead of a horndog like some other people she had around, "...It's so nice being able to trust him...Kami only knows how one of you two would dry peeping on her..."

The younger of the two women shooting a distrustful glare at Yamcha and Krillin, the two merely put up their hands in protest, not that they could defend themselves from the thought so much as not gunning for the naked girl like their mutual master would have if he'd been there, "...He-Hey! Chi-Chi! That's not very cool!..." Yamcha blurted out at the agitated woman, her arms already crossed, and her verdict read for the two of them to swallow already; considering their history it was hard for him to deny it, "...You know us!… We wouldn't try to watch a girl change...no matter what she looks like!..." Krillin following along with him, nodding all the way, it was useless, Bulma turning to look at her friend, the pair seeming to agree without even saying a word, "...Agh...well that's just great. There goes a good recommendation..." He sighed, rubbing his temples while the short bald man beside him sweat dropped.

"...Speaking of your guest though, I am dying to meet her!..." The silence broken by everyone's favorite genius, Bulma turned back around from where she had been facing the guys, the conversation back to focusing on important things rather than their shenanigans, "...What's she like?… Well I mean I know a few things from the specific clothes you asked for, but aside from that..." Motioning with her arms, as much as she wanted to there was no way she could fully explain the sheer amount of effort that went into shopping for someone you hadn't seen with the two men there...especially not the underwear, "...I brought two sets with me just in case because you said she is training with Gohan...What's that like? She must be pretty strong to do that!..." Chi-Chi listening to her with a hint of pride since she and the blonde had only recently become friends themselves, Krillin and Yamcha on the other hand were floored by what they were hearing…

Not only had this person literally appeared out of the blue like she had, but now they were being told that she was tough enough to endure training with Gohan?!… The confused men shaking their heads in the background, Chi-Chi just smiled, "...Of course she is!… She's an android!..." The woman's declaration coming as if she thought it was just as simple as mentioning she had light blonde hair or how well she was able to fight, for the others it was a completely different story. Instantly remembering that the others hadn't heard the full story like she had, Chi-Chi rushed to keep them from panicking, "...But she's not bad at all...She..." Waving her hand up and down a bit to cool her friend off, the look on Bulma's face when she told her the identity of the girl she'd brought clothes over for was the kind one would expect to see on a downward roller coaster, not at a brunch.

"...EEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!..."

The sound of Bulma's scream echoing into the house from garden outside, Gohan meanwhile still had a wide, not terrified, smile on his face as he made his way down the hall, his Mom's private bathroom coming up ahead of him, "...Don't worry, Eighteen! I've got your clothes for you!..." He said to himself, still giddy with joy at being the one to help her out this time around, the half saiyan set them down by the crack of the door just like his mother had instructed him to, his hand moving to knock on the door three times as well, "...They're right out here! I'm going back outside with the others now!..." Not even waiting for a reply, he knew she must have still been in there after their training session since that was where he and his Mom had taken her and he hadn't seen her since.

Turning to leave, he paused for a moment, a smile wide on his face the longer he looked at the locked door, it was funny, he had only just met her the day before, but even after such a short amount of time he felt like trusting her entirely, "...Just make sure you don't ruin these too, okay? Bulma only brought two sets of it!..." Hugging his hands behind his head at his joke, the sound of the lock turning startled him, that noise being enough to get him rushing back down the hallway again, the last thing he wanted was her to get mad and fight him for real this time! "...Ah! I'm going! I'm going!..." That squeaky voice of his echoing down the hall as he shot through the front door again. The boy gone, one slim feminine hand slipped out into the open before grabbing the package and pulling it back inside the bathroom, the door slamming shut behind it.

"Finally!..." Closing her beautiful blue eyes with a sigh as she shut the door, locking it once more just in case the worst possible scenario were to happen again and she was almost seen naked...again, "...The hell does it take to get some decent clothes in this time?..." She asked out loud, the girl looking down at the parcel it had an old west star printed on the top of it, the brown flaky material easily moving around in her hands the longer she held it. The blonde checking one more time to make sure the door was tightly secured she sighed, "...It's about time I can take this damn thing off..." Pulling on the knot in front of her chest, she let the towel she had been wearing fall down to pool around her feet, her voluptuous body open to the cool air once more, "...Just for the love of Bulma...Don't let this outfit make me look slutty..." Holding the bottom of the package while she undid the top, the strings came undone, its contents almost springing out just as she had before her very eyes.

A pleased look appearing on her face, Eighteen set them down on the bathroom counter, her icy blue orbs scanning across her new outfit, the long blue jeans, the small black vest and thin white shirt making her smile, "...Now this is what I've been waiting for!..." Spreading apart the expensive paper wrapping, being fully clothed and stylish was at long last within her grasp. Picking up the shirt to look it over better, the material as smooth and strong as she could have ever wanted, likewise the blonde was pleased to see a matching pair of orange socks and black single strapped shoes along with them, "...Actual good looking clothes I can fight in..." Taking the shoes and setting them on the ground with her socks, Eighteen could feel her day getting better already, the android girl wasting no time in putting on the small black panties it came with.

Her eyes suddenly popping wide open though, it wasn't the sight of two big black padded cups appearing at the top of the pile of clothes that got her attention, because as tear worthy a sight that was, it only got better with what she saw next. Completely missing the size on the back of her new bra as she put it on, Eighteen should have known 'big' to most girls was the 34D tag sticking out below the shoulder straps. Words only now flashing across her eyes in bright green font, they were that much better than even the correctly sizedpiece of fabric could ever be, 'POWER RESTRICTIONS LIFTED' they repeated again and again. Now there was a relief if ever there was one, and not a moment too soon! "...It may have taken two days, but I'm feeling ready for anything now..."

Wincing slightly at the pressure she'd been starting to forget about as she clasped her new bra shut from the front, the weight of her upper body pulling down on her shoulders slightly; even still nothing beat having her dignity back. Slipping the white shirt over top of her head, she froze, another set of words flashing across her eyes, there was no more time to squeal with joy at her new clothes, the red glare telling her all she needed to know to realize she had to get back outside and fast!

"...AN ANDROID!?..." Bulma meanwhile was screaming at her best friend and now fellow mother in this crazy world they lived in, her jaw having dropped straight down to the ground when she was informed that this mystery guest wasn't some lost girl, but rather a robotic killing machine! "...Chi-Chi! When were you planning on telling me this!?..." She barked at at her, the former adventurer's face turning a little blue at the mere thought of it, one of those monsters that cute boy from the future had warned them about...it was here already...and without any effort it had infiltrated their party from within, "...You're saying that…One of those things is here? Now? In the house?..." Speaking a thousand words a minute, not even her fellow Chatty Cathy in Chi-Chi could keep up with the bluenette, so the guys didn't even bother to try.

Waving her arms around more and more the longer her friend failed to so much as reciprocate her panic induced state, Bulma felt like her head was going to explode! "...Don't you remember what that future boy said?!..." Freaking out more and more by the second, as much of a genius she was, even Bulma didn't feel the change in the air, aside from her own freaked out state. Both Yamcha and Krillin scanning their eyes across the treeline for the presence they felt watching them, "...They're here to kill Goku...your husband!..." Motioning each of the words out with her hands as if she were explaining the most basic thing to a toddler, Bulma couldn't for the life of her get over this. The whole time they had been talking they...her...Gohan could have been killed by the thing they had in the back room?…"...For Kami's sake! Don't you have any sense!?… What if it tries to kill Gohan?… Then what are you going to—Mhmm!?"

Her big cerulean gems expanding as a large hand wrapped over her lips, cupping her mouth to keep her from talking. Gohan having just gotten back outside he stopped, the boy sensed it too, that ominous aura flowing through the fighters, the kind that always preceded a battle, "You guys feel that too?..." Krillin looking back and forth, despite having religiously shaved his head, the tiny hairs on the back of his neck were standing up now, that unmistakable sensation of being watched surging through him like a bad meal, "...I can't sense anything, but I know it's there..." Chi-Chi keeping her arms crossed, she too was scanning their surroundings, waiting...staying on high alert for when whatever was watching them acted…

"...I've got a bad feeling about this..." Yamcha murmuring while he kept one fist up in a defensive posture, the other still held over Bulma's mouth, the bluenette's habit of turning things from bad to worse with her big mouth too well known at this point to leave unattended. A short breeze blowing through the trees, out of no where a blue ball of energy came rocketing right at them! The three Z Fighters reacting without a single thought, their training kicking into high gear, they all lept back into the air! Gohan pulling his Mom out of the way while Yamcha followed Krillin, the stronger man pulling Bulma's body against his, all of them getting out of the way just in the nick of time! The explosion from the blast impacting the ground, it sent the other package flying through one of the glass windows of the house, the sound of glass shattering paling compared to the actual bang.

The smoke clearing from the newly created crater in the Son family's backyard, the group was just composing themselves again when they looked up, the silhouette of a young man slowly floating down in front of them. "Wow...talk about a bunch of party poopers..." That small smug smirk spread across his tanned features, the figure's feet gently pressing into the soft grass when he landed between them all, facing the group, but with the Sons on his right and visitors on his left, "...I brought a gift too...Why didn't anyone want it?..." Chuckling to himself as he wiped the last of the red and purple lipstick from his previous night off his face, the being they knew without a doubt was one of the androids making himself known, "...Too bad...Because I'm really in the mood for giving today..."

Bulma quaking against her ex-boyfriend the longer they stood there watching him, the guys meanwhile just gritted their teeth, their disdain for their party crasher evident in the looks on their faces, "...Errr...Who do you think you are doing that!?..." Yamcha shouted at him, the man still trying and failing to get an energy signature from the guy. Sure they had felt the ki blast he'd sent their way, but not him...he still wasn't giving off anything, "...A sneak attack on women is a low blow even for an android!..." His muscles tensing up the longer he glared at the killing machine, Yamcha's expression changed to one of fear the moment he turned to look back at him, Seventeen's heartless eyes tearing into his very soul.

"...Even for an android, huh?..." Flicking some of his relatively long black hair out of his eyes, the younger man smirked at what he was hearing, he hadn't been there two minutes and already they were saying such harmful things to him, "...That's very hurtful you know...And I don't like people trying to hurt me..." Rising one hand up, his palm and fingers spread out as another blue orb of energy appeared in the center of it, pulsing and beating with ki while he aimed it directly at the newly arrived threesome, "...All it makes me want to do...is hurt...them...back..." The wide smile on his face transforming into a wild grin the larger the ki blast became, he was just about to fire it when suddenly he heard another voice interrupt his fun.

Chi-Chi feeling her body being set down on the ground, Gohan stepped forward, he was not going to just stand by and watch this happen...he knew his Dad wouldn't and so neither would he! "...Hey! You leave them alone, you big bully!..." He yelled, standing in front of the person he cared about most in this world to defend his closest friends, the fear showing through his eyes nothing compared to his resolve to fight at any cost, "...If you think we're just going to let you kill us without a fight then you've got another thing coming!..." Holding up his fist in front of him Gohan was ready, or at least he had thought he was, until Seventeen turned to face him; the ki blast as well as the maniac look in his eyes locked onto the one person above all others he was meant to kill.

The android's evil eyes lighting up at who was challenging him, Seventeen couldn't believe his luck, "...Well would you look at that!… Gohan, just the buy I wanted to see..." Smirking triumphantly at his self revealed target, as horribly as the previous day had been, fighting off bar patrons as well as that surprisingly tyrannical club owner, it seemed like today things were just falling into place for him, "...Two days in and it's mission accomplished...that's what I like to hear..." Holding up the blast so that it was aimed at the boy's head, just from his power readings he knew there was no chance in hell he wouldn't annihilate him with this. And to think all of his troubles could have been avoided if only Gero'd had the balls to do what he was doing now. And here he had thought it was going to be a pain in the ass tracking the kid down.

"...Thanks for making killing you that much easier, Gohan..." Seventeen grinned down at him, the energy surging within in photon wave as it reached peak capacity, "...I never thought you'd stretch out your neck for me to blow it off so willingly!..." A series of evil laughs coming from him, once this was over the programming from Gero would cease and he would be free to have as much fun in this world as he wanted! "...Say adios you stupid little brat!..." Flexing his arm, Seventeen was just about to fire when a black balled up fist slammed into his jaw! The impact sending his attack flying up into the sky, the explosion turning the scenery blue as the energy dissipated in one fiery bang, the male android bounced through several trees before coming to a rest on the ground. Lifting up his head to see what hit him, the look on his face said it all.

"...Gohan!..." The image of Eighteen standing in front of the mother son duo slowly appearing to him through the dust of his harsh landing, the sight of her was enough to make his blood boil! Turning her head back to look at the boy she was programmed to protect through a curtain of silky blonde hair, she reached out her glove covered hand for him to take, "...Come with me if you want to live..." Wind still blowing around them from the concussion of Seventeen's attack, Gohan smiled, putting his hand in hers without any need to think about it. Not waiting a moment for the others to fully register what she looked like, the blonde shot up into the air, pulling Gohan onto her back, arms around her shoulders from above while she flew into the sky! "...Hold on...this is going to be bad..." The girl ascending so quickly the kid had to hold on tight to keep from slipping off, they had only just broken the clouds when the first shot whizzed by them!

A second and a third soon rocketing past her body, Eighteen dodging them one way and then the next, Gohan barely hanging on before she was flying at high speeds again, clouds streaming past them as another shot erupted off her right flank! "...EIGHTEEN! I'M GOING TO GET YOU BACK FOR THAT ONE, LITTLE SISTER!..." Seventeen's voice roared through the air behind them the faster they flew, another series of bright blue ki blasts making holes in the clouds beneath them, the blonde kept on evading them, having to loop past another just before it exploded and knocked her through a loop, "...Come back here with my kill before I have to take you down too!..." Firing off five, six, seven more shots at her as they flew, each of them zooming past Eighteen, the one person nearest his equal in every way knowing his tactics like the back of her hand, he stopped, holding both of his hands up in front of him.

"...Alright, if you don't want to play nice!…" Charging up a photon wave in front of him, his black hair was quickly being blown past his face from the raw energy of it, the rings surrounding it rotating faster and faster, he fired it, "...Try this one on for size, you top heavy bitch!..." The photon wave blasting off much quicker than any of his other attacks, it was soon closing in on his sister. Darting left, then right, Eighteen circled down through some cloud before flying back up again, the energy ball following her without any loss in speed. "...Good luck getting away from it! There's not a chance in hell you will!..." Ignoring her brother's taunts, her blonde hair flying around her face, no matter where she went it was still behind her! Flying down towards the ground, and around a rock arch, there was simply no shaking it!

Passing through a thicket of trees, and back up into the air, it was closing fast, the girl spinning around, Gohan had to hold onto her shoulders as hard as he could just to stay on when the photon wave smashed into her! "Er...Errrrrgh!..." Pushing both hands out in front of her Eighteen was holding it back, the black gloves she wore burning from the sheer amount of energy emanating from it. Her shiny blue eyes tightening the more she focused on the devastating amount of power and that alone, she started pressing it down into itself, "...Gohan...eeerrrrgh...Get...get off of me and go—" Their eyes meeting for just a moment as she pushed the energy ball back, particles flying off of it while it was being condensed into oblivion, before she could finish what she was saying it exploded!

A bright blast of light consuming the android high up in the sky, Gohan was sent plummeting down to the ground on his back. The boy's dark eyes growing in fear watching his friend seemingly go up with it, he was relieved to see that when the smoke cleared...she was still there. "Uh...Uh...Uh..." Her lungs pumping air in and out of her body as fast as they could, the blonde stood there, her black vest in tatters, and her shirt torn right across the top, revealing a supple stretch of feminine flesh along her shoulder and upper chest.

A few marks scattered across her face and arms, as well as a number of holes in her pants streaming small plumes of smoke into the air, she gently rubbed them away, "...Heh...you really thought that was enough, Seventeen..." The nanobots scattered throughout her cells hard at work, pretty soon all her minor burns were gone, the smoke ceasing entirely. Her older brother arriving in front of her, a look of anger spread across his face when he saw the blonde, and her? She smirked, "...Because if you did..." Her breathing at last coming back under control, Eighteen rose what was left of her black gloves up in front of her, the girl's hands balled up into fists, "...Then you're going to have a worse time than I thought..."

Gohan standing back up in the forest he landed in, the boy couldn't believe how fast they were moving, his eyes following them completely although he knew it was still far too fast to react to. The tattered remains of her vest falling down from the sky, Eighteen blocked her brother's first punch between her wrists, twisting them around to knock him off balance before delivering a hard punch of her own to his stomach. The force of it staggering him for a moment, the blonde sent another one into his jaw, knocking him up before landing her elbow on top of his skull, the shock of her hits not finished going through him before she spun around, putting her long legs to work smashing a kick into the side of his face and sending him careening off into the distance!

The blonde of the two siblings zooming off in pursuit of him, there was no time to wait around, Gohan had to go after them! Speeding off through the sky, albeit much lower down than they were to stay out of the combat, the half saiyan could see them going at it! Each of them blocking one blow from the other before countering with one of their own, it was the coolest thing he'd seen since his Dad had taken on Freeza… "...C'mon, Eighteen...you can do it..." He murmured to himself, staring up helplessly at the vicious battle going on above him, wincing as Seventeen delivered a hard slug to his sister's face, grabbing her head to send into his knee only for her to catch it, flipping him around on his head before kicking him down into the ground! "...Yes!..." A cheer flying through his mouth when he saw the dust cloud forming from the impact, his eyes suddenly expanded...they were back at his house...

"...Seriously, you just don't know your place; do you, little sister?..." Seventeen growled at her, his breathing coming fast and loose now that the fighting had started to pick up, it was strange, even though they were on even footing she didn't seem nearly as tired as him, "...What gives?… Why aren't you exhausted yet?..." The man yelling at her, the smirk spreading across her dainty pink lips made him want to scream! He was stronger than her...he knew he was...he had to be...yet still in the long run if they kept it up like this he would lose! Keeping his eyes trained on her he just couldn't pick it out...they had the same enhancements...and if anything she had to weather his photon wave from earlier...so why was he the one that was about to fall apart?!

His slightly younger twin sister slowly shaking her head at him, she smiled, "...Because after you went through the time gate, I got a few upgrades..." Watching the look on his face grow from bewilderment all the way up to rage, she knew she had him, and oh how wonderful it was to finally be able to taunt him for all the times he screwed with her, "...A woman named Bulma happened to stop by...and increased my reactor output by fifty percent..." The eyes of everyone lighting up at the mention of the woman's name, the duo out of the loop looked at their own captive bluenette, the still silenced woman angrily shaking her head back and forth as fast as she could.

Pointing at her chest with what was left of the glove on her right hand, it took even her a second to notice the irony of where her two new Capsule Corp. reactors where contained deep beneath her chest compared to Seventeen's single larger Red Ribbon one, "...The two I have now mean I can outlast you in a fight any day of the week..." Brushing some blonde hair out of her eyes, she was glad that she'd gotten as much rest as she did, even with her upgrades time travel had drained her pretty badly, it stood to reason Seventeen, with his party boy life, didn't get the same luxury of relaxing as her, "...Face it, little man...you've lost this one...to your sister..." Smirking at him just as proudly as he had been doing at the start of their fight, the weight of his hubris was bearing down on him even heavier now that he was so weak.

"...I...I'll make you eat your words, Eighteen..." Her brother, his face beginning to twitch in a mix between outright rage as well as humiliation at publicly losing to her of all people, he started to rise up a couple of feet into the air, his reserves running low, "...Then I'll make you watch while I kill that stupid kid!..." Trying to stare her down with what little he had left, the man's eyebrows nearly shot off his face as suddenly a bright pink glow appeared in front of him, his little sister holding up her open palm, her own glowing photon wave starting to pulse and shimmer, "...You...you and your stupid...ugh...uhhh..." Swallowing that last insult, just as Krillin and Yamcha stood up from where his landing had knocked them down, he shot off into the sky. The guys instantly taking the opportunity to try and finish off the first of the actual 'bad' android, the volley of ki blasts they sent after him all seemed to miss. Not that it mattered much at this point, they'd won this round, Seventeen was leaving them for now; and it was all because of one girl.

The last girl standing crossing her arms over her torn shirt as all eyes turned to her now, Eighteen let her energy blast evaporate, the firm expression on her face unchanging as she watched him go, it wasn't until Gohan arrived, seeing the last events unfold from the woods that he cheered! "AHA! EIGHTEEN YOU DID IT!..." Rushing over from the treeline, he'd heard it all just as if he had been standing there. His arms spreading out to wrap around her waist, it was the most amazing thing he'd seen since getting back home again, and for once it wasn't his Dad or even another guy being the one to do it! "...That was amazing! I can't believe you scared him off like that! You're the best, Eighteen!..."

The boy's proud words making the android break into a small smile, she turned around, keeping her arms crossed as everyone watched her slowly walk back into the house, her jeans pulling up a little as she bent over to pick up the other set of clothes, she went to change, the act almost a hobby of hers now."...Damn...so that's Eighteen, huh?..." Yamcha said finally letting Bulma go, the blue haired genius angrily reaching up and swatting the man for holding onto her for as long as he had, his cheek turning bright red from her hand hitting it, "...Ugh! Heheh...That's one hell of a woman in my book..." He said with a growing smile, his eyes following her back inside though admittedly in a different way than the women were, "...Any chance you ladies know the rest of her digits?..."

Grinning wide enough to make his old master proud from his throne of magazines back at Kame House, Yamcha was instantly knocked back down again as Bulma delivered a stunning attack of her own to his groin, the big man out for the count this time, "...Honestly, even with an android nearly killing us, you can't stop..." Shaking her head, bright blue hair waving back and forth as she crossed her arms over her chest, the woman bucking her leg back to kick him once more in the face, blushing lightly from how long he had been pressing her against him, "...And if I feel your hand that far North again you'll wish the android had killed you..." Barking down the rest of whatever grievances were coming to mind at the incapacitated hero, Bulma turned around to Chi-Chi.

The new mother pacing a few steps over to her friend, she helped Chi-Chi stand up again, the women shooting each other an incredulous look before directing it at Yamcha...and Krillin too because why not? "...Now as fun as all that was you understand I have some questions that need answering..." Bulma tilting her head to the side a little as she spoke, nailing down exactly which one she meant would be a tough one, but she knew they had time, "...For starters who is this wonderful 'Bulma' person your android was talking about and where can I sue her?..." Smirking a little at her best friend, she was about to go on when she heard the front door slam shut, not hard, but firmly enough to get their attention. Her big blue eyes rising up to meet with a new smaller pair, she paused.

"...If the 'android' of hers you're talking about is me then you're sadly mistaken..." Brushing some blonde hair behind one ear when the wind picked up around them, her new white t-shirt, which was just a little too short to tuck in blowing in the breeze and exposing her small bellybutton with it, "...My name is Eighteen and I am Gohan's protector...no one else's..." Slowly walking back towards the group again, Yamcha and Krillin didn't make a peep, the pair of them too busy trying to get their tongues back into their mouths again, the girl before them just too beautiful to believe.

Her black vest complete with a shiny golden badge covering her chest, she had it over that white shirt, the v-neck of it showing off more cleavage that it was supposed to due to her particularly large endowments, "...What happened today was just for him...not because I care at all for any of you..."The same kind of jeans she had worn before hugging her round hips, a new pair of gloves with a gold bracelet, pearl necklace, golden chain on her hip, and of course small golden earrings completing the ensemble along with her small black shoes and orange socks.

"...But if you want to talk to me then you can..." The beautiful girl who had taken all the men's breath away coming to a halt right in front of the bluenette, she pushed her balled up hands into her waist, awaiting the woman's response. Another small breeze blowing over the, her silky platinum blonde hair blew across her eyes, Eighteen's expression unchanging from the look she'd had on before Gohan arrived, "...Just don't waste my time..." Hearing everything the woman who was bouncing between 'smokin' hot' and 'super scary' on the Roshi Ranking of Babes had to say, Bulma nodded her head up and down. It was a deal then, the bluenette sticking out her bare pale hand and a black gloved one taking it, they shook on it… The Z Fighters didn't have long before the true androids arrived...so it was high time that they figured out what was going on.

A/N: It is time to figure out what the hell is going on, and provided that no one manages to piss of the blonde bombshell I think we will; though that might be harder than it seems. Time until someone hits on Eighteen? Might be never, after all how many guys in Dragon Ball Z like a girl built like she is? Anyway, joking aside I am over the top proud of how this chapter came out. Way back when I first wrote chapter one of this story a year ago I had about up to this chapter planned out in my head, the first real fight, and I don't think it disappointed. As anyone who has seen what I've written I tend to stay on the more fan service and then plot sides of things cough Eighteen is stacked cough* But fight scenes are a ton of fun and easier to do than I originally thought, like fan service they are much easier to write after or while watching real fights from the series to get the mind thinking about more than the obvious. Instead of simple tops coming undone, there are ornate ways for the cute bosomy girl to end up topless; instead of punches and kicks there are chops, grabs, knees to the face etc. To anyone else looking to write either try this advice because for me it really came in handy.

Back to the story though things are finally starting to heat up! The opening saga if it were to be considered that has drawn to a close and the second one has begun. The first fight with Seventeen and more than just Gohan and his mom have met the sexy, but scary blonde from the future, and things are only going to get better from here! Already I am several chapters ahead and that includes one chapter with my all time longest and best fight scene as well as another chapter with fan service with plot that will make your heads spin. Not saying when either of those will be since I am about ten chapters ahead of this one, but they're both out there and there is NO exaggeration here. I'll try to get the next chapter up and running soon as well, though I might pot a one shot of either Fairy Tail or Girls Bravo in the meantime since I need to do some more posting, but we'll see.

For now enjoy this chapter and please if you enjoyed it then leave me some feedback, every little bit helps. Not necessarily a starry eyed review, though I do LOVE those and they really perk up my spirit, but input, references, the fight itself, thoughts on Seventeen's character etc. Of course I am not changing what I am writing for the story based on reader votes or anything, but sometimes there are scenes that could go one way or another and knowing what readers like can tip me between the two attractive choices.

And now a couple important items, first off the more obvious one and that is that the new cover art for Gohan's Blonde Future has been completed! If you look over at that tiny image by the title you will see Eighteen in all of her true busty, beautiful glory beside Gohan. Both characters shown in the picture's front are how Eighteen and Gohan will look for the majority of the fic so if you're ever reading and wondering just what specifically Eighteen and not Android 18 looks like? There she is, and believe me when it comes to Eighteen in this story, that picture has every last detail of her curvaceous figure down to a 'T'. The way her shirt is a bit too small and thus shows some of her middrif because of how big her breasts are pushing it out, her jewelry, her light blonde hair, her blue eyes, her curvy figure, when you read the story, THAT is Eighteen. Gohan as well, to casually mention him, is alongside her, though his expression should raise some eyebrows haha! He is wearing what he will for the most part as well, and so too goes for the pair of easter eggs floating above the duo...I wonder who they could be? This beautiful piece of artwork was entirely drawn and colored by my good friend, XSCAVERLE on tumblr, which is where you can find the image in a larger size, though only I have the full resolution. He was so gracious as to draw this cover art for me as commission and I could not be happier with it. Check him out if you ever need some spectacular art, I know I will again!

Now, just in case as a side note for anyone who is still misguided and needs a quick lesson about real bra sizes, in the picture Eighteen has her natural 34EE cup boobs, which is the same as a 34F cup going by American sizes. I'm bringing this up because in my stories I try to keep things fairly accurate, so how characters interact, how they speak, mannerisms, names of locations and minor objects need to be right. They are small separately, but when it comes to immersing oneself in a story, accurate details are what makes it a fanfic and not just a fiction that shares some details with a series. So I try to apply the very same level of detail to the sexual aspects of my stories too. I know a lot of people have some misconceptions about bra sizes, that being that anything bigger than a Double D is a huge pair of torpedo breasts. That is more accurate when it comes to K or M cups, but not D, E, F etc. Make no mistake, as the cover art shows, Eighteen from the future has huge boobs, she's stacked, the blonde has melons etc, but by no means are they unrealistic or unwieldy. I just wanted to put this out there, because there is a line between writing a very well-endowed heroin and simply sticking gigantic Maken Ki sized gag boobs on a character and calling it a day.

Chapter 2 of GBF, was, as you all know, so badly received I shelved the story for a year and almost deleted it entirely. I know the fan service was excessive even by my normal standards and I've wanted to fix it for a while. So I've been rewriting it, it is now smaller, so much so that really it should have been part of chapter 3, but oh well. Consider it an extra treat alongside this chapter. No retconning, but some added story for down the line. It won't have an alert so just go to chapter 2 and it will already be changed to the new version.

Lastly of course, the next poll. In the previous one from a while ago I asked which DBZ story from me my readers would like an update from me, and of course the clear winner was Gohan's Blonde Future! So do not worry, another update is on the horizon, and I don't mean the already updated second chapter. Now onto the new poll, really I am having a hard time coming up with these half the time, but given the new picture I think it deserves one, and here it is! 'What Do You Think of Eighteen in the Gohan's Blonde Future Cover Art?' Please be honest, and feel free to mention in a review or PM what you think as well. Happy voting and keep your eyes peeled for my next update!

Once again, thank you all for your support in the previous chapters, your reviews have made me want to keep writing this story for a long time to come! Chapter 8 is on the horizon, and please, again check out XSCAVERLE, he is worth every penny for his skill, See ya next time!
