Universe: Dragon Ball Z AU.
Summary: After the Tournament between all of the Universes, Goku and Vegeta's families are living in peace and for once, that peace seems undisturbed. Living in peace, pods crash onto the planet and- Bardock, Gine, Raditz and King Vegeta all appear to be well and alive. How will this affect the peace our heroes had been living in? Read to find out!
Note: I didn't kill Raditz in this story- rather he was redeemed (somehow) and he went to look for his and Kakarott's parents. Also, this story will have MaiXTrunks and the rest will remain the same. Also, no universe got disintegrated and Beerus isn't what the show calls him, Goku isn't a terrible father and he never died when Cell came, meaning Goku was there for Goten when he needed him. Something else too: I named Bulla/Bra Becca in this story just because I wasn't sure how those names were pronounced and I wanted to change them anyway.
Chapter One: Peace
Peace.
What a wonderful word. For once- there was lovely, undisturbed peace. Nothing was wrong. Nothing was out of the ordinary- the battles seemed to have subsided and the constant fear of losses had ebbed away in the years following the 7th Universe's victory in the Tournament between Universes and surprisingly, everything seemed to have calmed down since then. No threats, no otherworldly villains- just happiness and peace.
Even Goku and Vegeta, whom never let their guard down, seemed to be enjoying their lives- yes, they did train (they didn't want their guard down), but they didn't to go to other worlds to train now and stayed with their family more often. They only visited King Kai or Beerus' planet once in a month, otherwise, they were seen training in Capsule Corporation or other bigger places.
Yes, training was a must as always but it had sort of taken a back seat. Now that the both Saiyans had nothing to worry about, they had started to spend more and more time with their families and Bulma could've sworn that she saw Vegeta giving a smile to young Becca more than twice.
Life just didn't seem to have a downside- at least for the moment- and let's hope it never has.
Goku flew over the shops lining the streets, holding bags containing items that Chichi had asked him to buy. The fact that their were Saiyans living among people had been revealed a long time ago so there was no point in not flying. Goku wore not his usual dark blue coloured shirt with an orange jumpsuit over it but rather the clothes he had worn at Gohan's ninth birthday, the time when Cell was around.
People waved at him and he waved back, his shadow falling over the roads under the light of the sun. It was a cool afternoon and flying, thought Goku, had never been easier.
As he flew, he spotted the shop where he was supposed to go and looked down at the list given to him by Chichi in order to see what he had to get. Seeing that he had to get bread from there, he set down and walked inaide the shop as he opened the door.
The shop wasn't very big and so, the counter was right in front of Goku. The man behind the counter looked up and smiled as Goku said "Asalamoalikum". The man replied "Walikumasalam, Goku! How are you today and what can I get you?"
Goku cheerfully replied "Oh, the regular. Chichi sent me here to get the bread"
"I see" said the man, nodding as he fetched a pack of fresh bread. "Well, here you go"
Goku smiled "Thanks" before giving him the money and leaving. As he flew upwards again, he looked down at the list, only to find that he had bought everything on it. Happy, Goku flew happily back towards his home, with a handful of bags.
Vegeta gasped for breath as a laser almost hit him. He narrowly dodged it by moving out of it's way. It would've been difficult for anybody to even move a finger under 150 times gravity but for Vegeta, who had become used to training under such difficulty, managed just fine. He dodged every laser, and destroyed every laser shooter in the process- in the end, as the gravity lifted, it was just him standing in the room, sweating profusely.
Wearing his usual battle armor, he walked out of the training room, training towel in hand as he wiped his forehead with it. Deciding to take a shower, he left.
"Goku!" said Chichi happily as Goku came over, all the bags in hand. "It's so nice of you to buy these for me! Thank you so much!"
Goku smiled. Ever since the Tournament, Chichi had been softer like the real her, although yes, she would get mad at times, she didn't seem to shout that much anymore.
She wore her usual purple and orange clothes with red lining and smiled as she took the bags from Goku saying "Besides, look who's come!"
Goku walked inside only to find Gohan sitting on the sofa that he occupied (mostly) next to Videll, next to whom was Pan, his grand daughter.
Goku ran over to them, saying "Asalamoalikum!" to the both to which they responded with a very nice "Walikumasalam". Gohan was wearing a black shirt on top of brown trousers and black shoes while Videll was wearing a pink coloured dress with red accents and a red headband. Pan on the other hand, was cuter than ever and as soon as she noticed him, she said "Grandpa!" and Goku scooped her up and squeezed her in a tight hug as he said "Yup, that's right! It's grandpa!"
He started tickling Pan to which she giggled non-stop and her parents watched happily as she tried to form a sentence. Goku let her go and she relaxed in his arms, still giggling madly. She was just like her mother, only cuter. Goku set down Pan and smiled at her before she went to sit next to her mother again. Pan wore a black shirt and a red skirt with black shoes.
At that moment, Chichi who had left the room earlier, came back and said "Goku, I've invited Bulma and her family to come over for lunch- could you uh, put these groceries in a corner for me?"
"Sure Chichi" said Goku as he went over to help her out.
Vegeta had done taking a shower and came out, the same battle armor on. He walked to his and Bulma's room's door, so that he could exit but was distracted when a small figure came running up to him, holding something tightly as they said "Dad!"
Stopping a short distance away from the door, Vegeta turned around to find his youngest child and only daughter, Becca, looking at him with a twinkle in her eyes that told Vegeta she wanted something.
"Yes?" he said, bending down, so that he could listen to Becca. His face broke into a smile as it always did when talking to his daughter and his scowl seemed to fade a little.
"Dad... mom told us that we're going to go see Pan today at Mr. Goku's house... would you come?"
Vegeta felt weird everytime someone referred to Kakarott as "Mr. Goku". It was strange. Still, he found himself nodding in agreement to his daughter, he had wanted to see Kakarott for himself as well, seeing as it had been quite a few weeks since the families had seen each other which was quite unusual.
"Yay!" said Becca, proceeding to jump up and down around Vegeta in excitement. "We're going to see Pan! We're going to see Pan! We're going to see Pan!"
Vegeta's smile couldn't help but increase as he saw Becca's happiness, eagerness and excitement. She was quite small and cute. Her eyes, hair, everything seemed to resemble that of Bulma's. She wore a small pink coloured frock with white poka dots on it. Vegeta just seemed to watch as she kept jumping around him in happiness.
Author's Note: This is all for this chapter. I'm sorry if it seems long to you but yes, I had planned this for a long time and maybe- maybe I'll merge this and Adventures Await into one but I don't think so... anyway, hope you enjoyed the story so far and...
I have a youtube channel now: X-AF Edits-X
