OK, people, call me crazy if you like, but I want to tell you that I know this story is really predictable. But don't you want to find out HOW everyone lives "happily ever after"? Do you want to know why Veggie changes his attitude? If you want the answers, send in the questions! Oh, by the way, I think I'll load up my Sailor Earth story. Check it out, it's pretty cool, too.

Chapter 8
It was the day before the Tournament. We had been training hard ever since that day. Gohan had finally gotten back to how strong he had been before his slack in training. Actually, a touch more. He was about even with Vegeta now.
But the amazing thing was, so was I. I could fight my father and Gohan and it would always be a close match-up. Sometimes we had to get Trunks, Goten, and Chi-chi to watch our tie-breakers and tell us who the true victor was.
I had finally come up with several attacks of my own. Vegeta had taught me Gallic Gun, Gohan the Kamehameha Wave. Piccolo, the Supreme Cannon. I had become fast friends with Krillin and Yamcha once I had met them.
Gohan showed me a picture of Krillin before he had grown his thick, black hair. I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my throat. He looked so funny! But Krillin had taught me the Destructo Disk. Piccolo taught me how to separate myself, to create numerous forms of myself. He asked me to call it something else, and had erased the name of the original from my head. I called it Separation.
Yamcha and Tien taught me together how to use the Kao Kin attack. And Goku telepathically taught me the Instant Transmission in secret, letting no one, not even Grand or North Kai, know he had taught me at all.
But my attack was different. It stole energy from my opponent and also did damage at the same time. I could also heal by reversing the affects, but I called it something different when doing that.
The attack was called Angel's Kiss. But when reversing affects, I called it Kiss of an Angel. Same thing, right? Wrong. Opposite ways of putting it, opposite affects.
I also learned to use a sword so I could participate in the weapons division, which had no age limits. Tien taught me, though he said not to tell anybody that he knew how to use such a weapon. I didn't hear from him for a long time after he finished teaching me to use the weapon. But I learned many of my tricks and schemes from my own imagination, and also a little movie magic(LOL).
I soon met Videl, Gohan's "friend" from school. I sensed love, but Gohan wouldn't admit it. Neither would Videl, once I cornered her. Gohan was teaching her how to fly. She barely had a good enough ki signature for flying.
But I shrugged it off. It was really none of my business, but still, he was my friend, and sometimes I know that some girls are awfully stubborn. And that's exactly what he said about her. "I've never met anyone as pushy and stubborn as she is, except my mom." I think it was that. But, anyway, we were preparing for the Tournament.
Bulma had made everyone a new gi, complements of my own fashion sense. Trunks wore a forest green gi with black accents. Accents include the belt, undershirt, and gloves. Trunks' and mine were biker style, both black, as both of us had black accents. But my gi was an aqua green. And I also wrapped a blue bandana around my now-cut-short black hair. It was about chin length, the same as 18's.
I made Bulma get a gi that matched my eyes in SSJ2. I smirked at the memory. I guess Vegeta's smirk rubs off on you if you spend too much time with him. But he was getting more and more social and better at it, too. He even began making decent jokes.
Vegeta's gi was navy blue with white accents. He did wear a long sleeved undershirt after I told him that it was more modest.
Bulma also made it so that we could wear whatever we wanted to the Tournament and still be able to change easily. She made us each a watch just like the one she had given Gohan.
Bulma also made a good plane ready to take us so that people wouldn't stare if we flew ourselves. She packed us a breakfast to take with us so that we could have plenty of sleep. Goten, Gohan, and Chi-chi spent the night in one of the empty apartments in Capsule Corp, making it easier to transport them.
The day had finally arrived.
I woke feeling fresh and rested, something that was nonexistent in my earlier childhood. I had gone to sleep early and woke up pretty late by my standards. I had around 11 hours of sleep. I grinned, knowing I would finally meet the supposedly totally naive father of Gohan and Goten. Today, I would meet Goku.
And to tell the truth, I was scared to death!

Angel, scared? Hah! Well, there goes Chapter 8.
