A/N: I'm sorry for taking so long with the update on this fic. The main
reason this time is laziness and lack of inspiration. Man, what I would
give to be an author who gets likes 8501859281 reviews per fic. Yeah, any
ways, you wont' be seeing updates very often from me any more..as if that's
news to you. Why? Because I want to start writing some other fics for some
other animes, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters! Or some other stuff like
that. Enough with this, on with the fic!

Loves Troubles: Tournament Troubles
By: Endorphin
'1 Month Before the Tenkaichi Budoukai'
Punch! Kick! Punch! Kick!
It was all Gohan could see while dodging all of the blows his mate threw at him. A side-step here, a move of the head there, it wasn't that hard.
She has gotten a lot better over the past few days. I'm going to have to try if I want to blo- WHAM! Gohan got nailed in the face. He took a few steps back before rubbing his face.
"OUCH!" Gohan yelled in some pain. A small trickle of blood travelled down his nose as Videl came up to check on him.
"Are you okay, Gohan?" She asked with concern.
"Yeah," Was the response while cleaning himself up. "I'm okay."
"Hope I didn't hit you too hard," Videl said while praising herself. "I'm getting better by the day, so you better keep your guard up nowadays."
"Yeah yeah," Gohan said. They had been training so hard and long, they both lost track of time. It was about 8:00, just in time for dinner.
"'Niichan!" A voice yelled. "MOM TOLD ME TO CALL YOU AND VIDEL FOR DINNER! YOU BETTER COME SOON OR ELSE I'LL EAT IT ALL!"
"Shall we go, milady?" Gohan said in a polite way.
"Flirting will get you everywhere," Videl responded. "Wanna race?"
"Sure," Gohan said while prepping himself.

1.
They both blasted off, leaving a white trail behind. Videl had greatly increased in speed, but she was nowhere near as fast as Gohan was. Being the gentlemen, Gohan slowed down enough so they were neck and neck.
Gohan and Videl both halted to a complete stop as they neared the house. They gentle floated down in front on Gohan's home and opened the door, only to find Goten eating away. Being the food-crazed maniac Gohan is, he jumped in and started filling his bottomless pit he calls a stomach. Since Videl was already used to this, she sat down and quietly ate some rice.
"Your food is as good as ever, Chi-Chi," Videl commented.
"Why thank you, Videl," Chi-Chi answered. "You'll make a GREAT wife for Gohan one day."
"A w-wife?" Videl stuttered? Boy, Chi-Chi really jumps to conclusions fast! She thought with a sweatdrop.
"Done!" Both Gohan and Goten chimed as they began to clean the table up. They knew that if they left it a mess, well, you don't wanna know what would happen.
"Videl, I think you should get home, it's almost 9:00," Gohan said while peeping at the clock on the wall.
"OH MY GOD! I was suppose to be home at 8:30!" Videl yelled in shock. How in the world did dinner take one friggin' hour?
"I'll get you home, Videl. 5 minutes, tops," Gohan said while getting ready.
"I'm on my way!" Videl said while jumping in Gohan's arms, blushing.
Gohan ran out the door and blasted straight towards Orange Star City. He turned Super Saiyan and increased his speed by a ten-fold.
"Gohan, why can't I feel any wind? We're almost at mach 3 so I should be feeling a lot of wind resistance," Videl said.
"It's because I put up a ki barrier in front of us," Gohan released the ki barrier to show her. Immediately, wind began to rush up on her face. She was barely breathing.
"Put..it..back!" Videl desperately yelled.
"Ha ha ha, alright," Gohan said while laughing. A new ki barrier was formed and the wind stopped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"We're here, Videl," Gohan quietly whispered while descending on the balcony of Videl's room.
"That was fast," she whispered right back while opening her window, cautiously as to not make a creek that would alarm her over-protective father. "I'll see you tomorrow, Gohan."
Gohan gently kissed her on the lips and then he began to fly back to his home in the mountains.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Look guys, there's the island!" Bulma yelled in excitement while pointing out the small island.
"Hey, guys! I have a favour to ask all of you," Gohan began. "Please don't show off our powers. Especially to be able to turn Super Saiyan! I don't want reporters clawing at our doorsteps!"
"Yeah, that'd be bad. Well, I agree," Kuririn agreed. "You too, right honey?"
Juuhachigou only nodded.
"I don't see a problem with reporters. I'll just kill them," Vegeta calmly said.
"OH NO YOU DON'T VEGETA! IF YOU KILL ANY REPORTERS OF ANY KIND, YOU'LL BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH FOR A MONTH!" Bulma angrily yelled.
"Fine," Vegeta agreed.
"Great! Now onto the island!" Bulma yelled while putting the pedal to the metal.
She was flying awfully low as she reached the perimeters of the island. You could hear the rattles as tree branches began to come into contact with the jet.
"W-woman! Pull up!" Vegeta yelled while holding onto his am rests for dear life. He was not used to flying in a jet, and he was scared.
"WHOO!" Bulma yelled while making a spectacular landing. "How was that for some awesome maneuvering?"
"DON'T YOU DARE FLY LIKE THAT AGAIN! WHA IF MY BABY GOHAN GOT HURT!?" The venomous voice of Chi-Chi rang out. Needless to say, Bulma was scared out of her wits.
"C'mon guys, let's go to the registration desks," Gohan said while jumping off the plane, trying to calm down his enraged mother.
The gang slowly walked up to the registration desks. They approached two men at the counter.
"Names?" Guy #1 asked.
"Son Gohan!" Gohan goofily said.
"Vegeta,"
"Call me Kuririn."
"18"
"Ma Junior."
"Ma Junior? What kind of name is that, Piccolo-sensei?" Gohan asked.
"It's a name I once used to enter a tournament beforehand," Piccolo responded.
"Cool."
"You can call me Trunks!" Trunks answered the man.
"I'm Goten!" Was Goten's childish response.
"Ahh, two competitors for the children's division," Guy #2 said while marking them off.
"What!?" Trunks yelled in shock. "Children's division!?"
"What's children's division," Goten asked his friend.
"It's the part of the tournament where the kids fight," Guy #1 answered. "It's so the kids won't get hurt."
"You hear that Goten," Trunks said, "They're sticking us with the babies."
"What? I came here for some competition! I don't wanna fight babies," Goten whined.
"Sorry kiddo's, new rules and regulations," Guy #2 said.
"Any ways, I've enlisted you all in the tournament. The match-up pairings will be held in one hour at the Center Square. Be there or be square." Guy #1 said.
'Half Hour Later'
"Man, it sure is boring here," Gohan complained.
"Ahh, don't worry about it, Gohan," Kuririn said. "The excitement will happen soon. Man, I wish Goku was here, fighting at the tournaments, just like old times."
"But I am here, Kuririn!" A happy voice rang out.
Everyone froze in his or her tracks. Gohan was the first one to react and looked behind him. There stood Son Goku, with a cheery smile plastered all over his face.
"D-dad?" Gohan stuttered. "DAD!"
Gohan ran up and hugged his father. "I missed you so much dad! What are you doing here!? Did you get wished back? What happened?"
"Aha ha, I missed you too, son. No, I'm not wished back. Baba talked with Enma-daiou and he allowed me to come back to Earth for one day, and I chose this one!"
"Son[1]," Piccolo said while walking up. "It's good to see you again."
"It's really you, Goku!" Kuririn said with tears pouring out.
"Goku?" Chi-Chi quietly said, with a teary face. "I missed you so much!" She ran up to him and hugged him hard.
"I missed you too, Chi-Chi," He said softly while kissing her on her head. "Hey Vegeta! How's Trunks?"
"Kakarotto. Ha! I'll enjoy beating the pulp out of you," Vegeta said with a smirk on his face. "I've gotten a lot stronger over this past few years!"
"It'll be nice fighting you, Vegeta!" Goku answered.
'Half Hour Later'
The group reminisced about the good times over the past 7 years. Goku got to know his youngest son, Goten. If you shrink Goku enough, you'll have twins.
"Attention all participants! Attention all participants!" Came a loud voice. "All participants of the Adult Division must line up at the qualification area. We'll then pick 15 participants, including Hercule Satan. Those 15 lucky ones will get to go on to the tournament.
"Participants of the Junior Division must immediately head to the arena where we'll randomly pick people to battle." Rang out another loud voice.
"C'mon Goten, we gotta go fight the babies now," Trunks casually walked towards the arena.
"Right behind you!" Goten yelled as he quickly walked up to his friend.
Qualification Round
"Gohan? Gohan!" Videl yelled while giving her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek.
"Ohh, who's this, Gohan, you're girlfriend?" Goku asked deviously.
"Yes dad, this is Videl, my girlfriend," Gohan replied.
Goku facefaulted. He expected for Gohan to deny it and sweatdrop a lot. He sure has grown!
"Nice to meet you, Videl," Goku said.
"You to, Mr. Son," Videl replied.
"No need for formalities, just call me Goku," Goku said.
"WOW! What a great punch from Mr. Satan! He might have achieved a NEW record at 187!" The announcer announced.
The gang quickly got in line and they realized it was a punching machine.
"What's with the punching machine, Videl?" Gohan inquired.
"It's this new thing that my dad made up. It's to test who's the strongest. Those people will be in the tournament." Videl answered.
All too soon, it was our Z-Figher's turn.
"Hey guys, remember not to use too much power!" Gohan pleaded.
Goku: 290
Ma Junior: 285
Gohan: 305
Videl: 190
Kuririn: 225
18: 324
"W-what amazing s-scores," The announcer stuttered as he watched those high numbers appear.
"Remember Vegeta, not too much power!" Gohan quietly yelled.
"I listen to no one, brat!" Vegeta snapped back. He reeled his arm back and let it hit! The punching machine flew back and into the wall, breaking into a million pieces.
All the competitors froze in shock. Most of them ran away, afraid they were going to be killed by the maniac. Coincidentally, those that remained equaled up to 16.
The competitors were Hercule, Goku, Gohan, Videl, Vegeta, Kuririn, Ma Junior, 18, Killah, Mighty Mask, Jewel, two weird guys named Shin and Kibito, Yamu, Spopovitch, and Taro (A/N: It's the big fat guy Kuririn fought. I forgot his name)
And so the participants walked to the drawing area, wondering in anticipation as to which they were going to do battle with.
"Will the participants please rise and select a number from the box!" The announcer yelled.
Hercule - 16
Goku - 5
Gohan - 9
Vegeta - 6
Kuririn - 1
Taro - 2
Videl - 7
Spopovitch - 8
Ma Junior - 3
Shin - 4
18 - 15
Kibito - 10
Killah - 11
Mighty Mask - 12
Jewel - 13
Yamu - 14
Vegeta and Goku looked at each other intently, Goku's first match was against Vegeta. Everyone else looked on in shock, wondering what would happen in the inevitable fight.
