There was a small break in the action as the attendants wiped all of the blood off of the arena. A trifle unsteadily, Mirai made his way back to the fighters' area, where he could watch the rest of the matches.
But he wasn't alone.
The pretty red-headed girl was coming with him. As always whenever there was a female around who wasn't related to him, he was blushing slightly.
"That was a good fight!" said Goku when Mirai arrived. Then he noticed his companion. "Hey, who's the girl?"
"This is...um..." Mirai turned to her. "What's your name again?"
"Jennifer," she said in innocent tones that nevertheless somehow managed to have a sultry layer.
"R-right. Jennifer."
"Ohh. So whatcha doing with Mirai?"
She giggled a bit. "Well, I tossed him a towel to wipe himself off with, and he's so handsome that I just had to follow him. And he didn't seem to mind me coming." She winked at him, and played with his long hair.
Vegeta, watching this, rolled his eyes.

After the ring had been cleaned, the Budokai Announcer began to speak again. "OK! It's time for the last fight of the second round! Mr. Buu is Mr. Satan's number one student! But how will he fare against Juuhachigou, the woman who almost beat Mr. Satan himself last time? We'll just have to see!"
The large pink thing and the beautiful female android entered the ring.
"BEGIN!"
Buu simply stood there, but Juuhachigou went on the offensive. Knowing she didn't possess the power necessary for a knockout, she tried to get him out of the ring. To that end, she dropped down and attempted to sweep his legs out from under him with a scythe-like kick.
However, she was unable to budge them. Buu continued to stand there watching her. Then he said, with an almost childlike innocence, "My turn!"
Before she could react, he had grabbed her and hefted her above his head. Then he threw her. She attempted to use her power of flight to change direction, but it was too late. Mere moments before she could veer off in a different way, she slammed into the grass outside of the ring.
"Oh!" shouted the Announcer in surprise. "I was expecting a long drawn-out fight, but this one is already over! Juuhachigou is out of the ring...winner, MR. BUU!"
Still lying on the ground, the android snarled. She had fared no better than that normal human had in the first round.
Rising to the air once again, she found her husband in the audience and took a seat next to him. Kuririn, who could read her moods quite well, knew better than to say anything.

"If you agree with me that that was an exciting second round, shout!" said the Budokai Announcer into his microphone. The crowd responded emphatically, their noise rising even higher.
"Glad to hear it! And the third round looks to be just as good! Our two semi-final matches consist of Son Goku vs. Mr. Satan, and Vegeta Briefs vs. Mr. Buu! Who will move on to the final round? The semi-finals start in ten minutes...don't miss it!"

Gohan and Videl looked at one another.
"Think we can pull it off this time?" said Gohan.
"May as well give it a try."
But he wasn't alone.
