Chapter 3: Capsule Corp. and Cell
When they landed Hotaru looked up to see an enormous building with Capsule Corp. written all over it.
"Wow. This place is huge!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah, well Bulma's rich,"Goku explained.
"You ready to meet our friends?" Chichi asked.
"Yes," that was a lie. Hotaru was a shy girl that usual kept to herself. She was very nervous. It was hard for her to meet new people. But then a thought struck her. She mustn't forget her mission. I must find help and get back to my friends! If these people can fly who knows what else they can do! They might be able to help me, Hotaru thought.
They walked up to the door and just as Goku was about to knock they door swung open and a young woman with aqua hair rushed out.
"Ooh! I'm so glad you guys could make it!!" Bulma almost yelled.
"Quiet down, woman!" Hotaru heard a gruff voice coming from inside.
"Grrr. Vegeta just shut up!" Bulma yelled back exasperated;" Who do we have here?" she said gesturing towards Hotaru.
"This is Hotaru. She is staying with us," Chichi explained.
"Well why don't you come on in and meet everyone Hotaru," Bulma offered.
" Thank you, Bulma."
They proceeded to walk into the house and Hotaru was surprised to find more people than she expected. The oddest thing was some didn't even appear to be human. There was a man with three eyes sitting at a table and a green man with pointy ears and antennae sitting in the corner with his eyes closed. This frightened Hotaru momentarily but she quickly regained her composure. She didn't want to seem rude by staring.
Bulma led her around introducing her to everyone in the room. Everyone was seemingly pleased to meet her except for the man with tall black hair and the green man. The green man, called Piccolo, just nodded. The man called Vegeta just grunted and stuck his nose into the air.
"Goku, why aren't you worried about the fight with Cell?" asked a young man named Trunks. Hotaru thought he was kind of cute.
"Trunks, let's not worry about that now. Let's just have fun," Goku answered.
The night wore on and they ate and to Hotaru's dismay Goku and Gohan ate most of the food on the table. They all exchanged stories of the past and reminisced. All except Hotaru who began to slip deeper into depression as she remembered her friends.
Earlier she had heard Trunks mention something about an enemy to Goku. She wanted to know more. If they were warriors then they could most certainly help her. And from the looks of things she needed all the help she could get!
She decided that after the party she would ask Goku about this so-called "Cell". But now she tried to cheer up. She knew her friends wouldn't want her to suffer.

After the Party...
"Whew! It's good to be home," Goku announced upon their arrival.
As soon as they got into the house Goku headed strait to the fridge.
" Goku," Hotaru said, "Can I ask you something?"
Goku looked up from what he was doing and said, "Uh..Sure."
" Are you a warrior?" Hotaru inquired.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" He asked back.
"Oh. I was just wondering. I heard Trunks say something about somebody named Cell. Who is that?"
"You mean you don't know...who Cell is?!!" Goku asked astonished.
" Well...uh..should I?"
" Man...You must not be from around here,huh?"
"Well...uh...you could say that," Hotaru said shakily, " Could you tell me about this 'Cell' person?"
"Well, you see he's not exactly a person. He's actually a biological android that a scientist named Dr. Gero created in order to get his long sought revenge on me. And now he is having a tournament. If we don't beat him he's gonna destroy the Earth," Goku said simply.
"Oh. So you are going to be competing in this tournament?"
"Yes, actually."
"I was wondering...if I could come watch."
"I don't know about that. It might get a little rough," Goku said.
" If it starts getting bad I'll get out of there. Okay? I promise...." She put a sweet little smile on.
" Well, okay.. I suppose."
" Absolutely not!!" came a thundering voice, " I have excepted the fact that Gohan is going to the tournament but I will not let you bring a poor ,defenseless girl out there with that monster!!"
" Now, Chichi, calm down. We'll take care of her. Don't worry," Goku reassured.
" Fine. But if that monster touches one hair on her head I am going to kill you!" Chichi agreed.
She would watch the Z warriors fight and if they seemed strong enough she would ask them to help her...
