Gohan looked out the window of his tiny jam-packed car. Beside him was his beautiful wife, Videl, who had her hair tied in a ponytail behind her head. Her eyes were a beautiful blue, which matched her jeans, and her white spaghetti strap went with it nicely. Behind them, sitting there slouched with a frown on her face, was his daughter Pan, who was looking quite impatient.
"When is we gonna be there Mommy?" yelled 4 year-old Pan, startling her mother. Videl turned around angrily.
"Pan! If you ask that question one more time, I am going to...ummmm...help me out here Gohan!" yelled Videl. Gohan grimaced at her voice in his ear.
"She'll incinerate you with a energy blast!" said Gohan, making Pan giggle. Videl suddenly became extremely angry.
"Listen to me, young lady, we are going to act like a normal family here! We don't want people to see us flying all over the place...they'll think we're weirdos! And we're not weird, are we Gohan?" asked Videl.
"Well, considering that I'm a cross between an alien and a psychopathic bitch, and I'm married to the daughter of the man that claims he can save the world but is actually one of the weakest men alive, and our daughter is one quarter alien and the strongest little girl on the planet, no, we're not too weird."
Videl grimaced and slouched in her chair as the cars once again halted, stopping the car in traffic again...

Kakarotto...
"Who said that?!" yelled Goku, looking around the dark room. Actually, the room was pitch black, Goku couldn't see a thing an inch in front of him.
You have forgotten, Kakarotto...
"Who is this? Brolli? Vegeta? You're the only one's that call me that..." asked Goku. He stumbled around, feeling for anything. It was empty, the room was empty. Everything was empty. But wait...suddenly, out of the corner of Goku's eye, he saw a tiny beam of light. It beamed directly onto his back, directly above his ass (okay be mature). The light seemed to burn there, and Goku began to feel it itch. He reached behind him but could not scratch it. For the light was burning into him. Something strange was happening.
"Who are you, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!" screamed out Goku in fear, feeling the light burn into him more, and the itch becoming unbearable. He let out a yell, screaming in pain with all of his mercy. He was frozen still, and there was no way to save himself...

"Go…"
Go where?
"Go…please!"
Where am I?
"Go…ku…"
"Dad…"
"Goku! Dad! WAKE UP!!!" yelled Goten and Chi-Chi, desperately trying to revive Goku, who had fainted about two seconds ago. His eyes finally began to stir, and he slowly pulled them open, to see Goten and Chi-Chi standing there.
"Oh Goku! What happened?" asked Chi-Chi, lovingly hugging her husband and peppering him with kisses. Goku looked very confused.
"What do you mean 'what happened'? I feel great!" Goku laughed and jumped up in the air, dusting himself off.
"Wow, I haven't felt so good in a long time!" exclaimed Goku, picking up Goten and throwing him in the air, maybe a bit too hard. Goten flew at the ceiling but was able to stop himself. He laughed.
"That's pretty weird Dad, you seemed so sickly and mad when I woke you up before. Now you're…well…yourself again!" said Goten happily. Suddenly, Chi-Chi reentered (she left? damn she's sly!) the room with an icepack.
"I don't care what you say Goku, you're still sick to me and you are going to get on that couch right now!" ordered Chi-Chi.
"But really Chi-Chi, I'm fine!" protested Goku, but was manhandled by Chi-Chi and thrown onto the couch. She slapped the ice pack on his forehead and made him hold it there. Goku just smiled and rolled his eyes and Goten, making him laugh. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," said Chi-Chi, hurrying to the door and opening it, "Gohan!" she yelled, hugging and kissing him like crazy.
"Hi Gohan," said Goten, appearing in the doorway.
"What's up lil bro?" asked Gohan, high-fiving his younger brother. Chi-Chi and Videl hugged and everyone entered.
"So what's wrong Mom? Someone called...?"
"Well, I'm not sure Gohan. You see, your father was sick and then someone called saying muttering something a few times," explained Chi-Chi. They entered the living room where Goku was sitting on the couch.
"Hey Gohan! Hi Videl! Where's little Pan?"
"Wight here," said Pan, hiding behind Videl's leg.
"Oh Goten, would you take Pan up to your room and show her your old toys? The adults need to talk," said Chi-Chi. Goten scoffed and reluctantly dragged (literally) Pan up to his room, cursing on the way.
"So anyway Chi-Chi, what was this guy saying?" asked Videl curiously.
"Well I'm not sure, but it sounded like he was saying Kakarotto," said Chi-Chi.
"But that's impossible, Brolli was killed a long time ago, I doubt he knows how to use a phone, and why would he call saying Kakarotto?" said Gohan. They all turned to Goku to see that he was unconscious.
"Oh my god! Dad!" yelled Gohan, rushing to his father.
"Oh, don't worry about it Gohan, he's just sleeping. I knew he was faking being sick! That Goku, always lying and never gets away with it!" complained Chi-Chi. Everyone looked at Goku suspiciously, something didn't seem right.
"Well Mom, did you copy down the address on the Caller I.D.?" asked Gohan. Chi-Chi handed him a small piece of notebook paper.
"Wow, the guy who called was so dumb he didn't even use a payphone, maybe it really was Brolli!" joked Gohan. Everyone laughed nervously, but no one really seemed to be in a laughing mood at all. Something was very strange about this whole ordeal... Gohan walked to the door and turned.
"I think you and Goten should take Goku down to the hospital. He doesn't look too good," said Gohan.
"Let me go get Goten and we'll drive him over there," said Videl, "and be careful Gohan. I know you care take care of yourself...but just..."
"Shhhh...I know, I promise I'll be fine," explained Gohan, walking out the door, forming an aura, and flying away.
Videl walked up the stairs to get Goten as Chi-Chi sat in the couch with her head in her hands.

A slight twang seemed to hit Trunks in the head. Maybe he had been on the computer too long, or maybe it was those pictures of Pamela Anderson...Trunks heard footsteps in the hallway and quickly closed down the internet site he was currently on. Not that he was hiding anything...his mother walked into the room.
"Okay Trunks, what sites have you been on?" asked Bulma.
"Nothing Mom, honest, just checking out some Lizard Sphere X message boards," lied Trunks. Bulma sighed.
"God, who watches those stupid cartoons? For god sakes Trunks, you're 14 already!" said Bulma. Trunks just frowned.
"Oh Mom, you know nothing. They're not car--"
"Enough," said Bulma, cutting Trunks off, "it's bedtime for you mister!"
"Oh man!" complained Trunks, crawling onto his bed and curling up the covers. As his Mom began to leave, he felt another twang.
"Mom, did you just feel something?" asked Trunks. Bulma turned around.
"No honey, I didn't."
"Are you sure, because--" Trunks was cut off by screaming from another room.
"Mommy, I wanna read bedtime stories!" yelled out Bra from another room. Bulma rolled her eyes and left Trunks in his room alone.
But what could that twang have been? The only other thing I can think of was that it was someone's energy. But who?
Trunks tried hard to concentrate, and felt a familiar power, but couldn't figure out who it was. Suddenly, his door slammed open and shadowy silhouette appeared in the doorway. Trunks cowered back, but realized from the spiky hair who it was.
"Dad, what's up?" asked Trunks, recovering from his minor shock.
"What's up is that Kakarotto's son is coming here. And his power is high, hah! The fool wants to battle me! I'll show him who's boss!" yelled Vegeta, powering up. The walls began to shake.
"How many times have I told you not to power up in the house?" yelled Bulma from another room, as a picture fell to the ground and shattered.
"Quiet woman, I have some business to attend to!"
Blowing away Trunks's window with a power surge, Vegeta turned to his son.
"Throw some pants on, we've got company," the Saiya-jin prince ordered. Trunks quickly opened his drawers and put on a pair of jeans. He turned back to see his father gone, out on the lawn, powered up to super saiya-jin.
This must be serious.
"Dad, is it really necessary to go super saiya-jin? I doubt Gohan wants to fight us, you know he's not like that," said Trunks, looking up at the sky but seeing nothing.
"Shut up, kid, I have no time for you. If you're scared, then go inside!" screamed Vegeta, losing his temper.

"What is that great power?" wondering Gohan aloud, flying over a small city, just having felt a great power. He looked down at the note again and looked up ahead, seeing a golden light in front of a house in front of him.
That's Vegeta!
Gohan looked to be thinking in the air and then it all seemed to make sense. He looked at the address and at the house Vegeta was standing in front of. They matched.
"So you think you can scare my mother like that, Vegeta?" yelled Gohan, making the saiya-jin prince and his son look into the sky to make out a figure. Suddenly, Gohan let out a scream as his body exploded in power.
