Ah, the long hiatus. Well, several things have gotten in the way of writing-
primarily a little thing called writer's block. I've also been downloading
crap like movies and music and stuff with KaZaA. It's great, you should all
try it. Anyways, here I go.
Chapter 5: The Arrival of the Androids; that's my B-chan
Goku yawned as he rose out of bed. He stretched his arms high and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He felt the warm morning sun light seep into his bedroom and envelop him. He sighed and dropped back down on the bed. Today was the day he and his friends had been training for the past 3 years. He glanced over at his wife's sleeping form and smiled gently. He leaned over and caressed her face. He sighed again and gave her a peck on the cheek before getting off the bed and grabbing his gi off the floor. Chichi sighed softly in her sleep, causing Goku to take one last look at his beautiful wife before walking into the hall. When he reached his son's room, Goku knocked lightly as to not wake anyone. Within seconds, Gohan was up and dressed and the two walked downstairs to the kitchen. After having a semi-edible breakfast, the two saiyans cleaned up and left the house.
"What took you guys so long?" a voice asked coldly. The two saiyans turned to Piccolo who was leaning almost casually against a tree.
Gohan grinned at his sensei, "We were extra quiet as to not wake up anyone. Mom doesn't want us to go fight so dad said..mmph," Gohan glanced down to see his father's large hand covering his mouth.
Goku rose his other hand and pointed it to his bedroom's open window. Gohan smiled meekly.
"Well then," Piccolo said as he leaped into the air. "We better get going if we hope to get there in time,"
Goku grinned at his friend. "Don't worry Piccolo! We'll be there with more than enough time. Besides, we planned to meet an hour early. Unless you were worried about not being there when Bulma tells everyone her surprise."
A reddish tint rose on Piccolo's cheeks, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Goku laughed and patted his friend on the back, "I didn't know you cared so much. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Piccolo glared at Goku for a minute before turning to Gohan. "Come on squirt, this is the day we have been waiting for,"
Gohan grinned and joined his father and mentor in the air. "Let's kick some android ass!" he shouted.

Krillin, Tien, and Yamacha were the first to arrive at the island, landing on a large ridge of a mountain which had the city at its base. After a few minutes of waiting, Krillin noticed a small speck in the distance.
"Hey guys," he asked, "what do you make of that?" The monk pointed towards the growing dot in the sky.
The two men turned to stare silently, secretly fearing it was the androids.
But it wasn't long before a grin spread on Yamacha's face.
"It's Bulma!" he smiled, turning to his companions. Looks of relief spread across their faces and they began waving her in. As the helicopter neared, Yamacha's face drooped. He hadn't spoken to Bulma in nearly two years when they broke up. The wounds were still fresh, even now after two years. He knew seeing her again would start the healing, but it didn't help that later that day he would be facing a deadly enemy. At last Bulma's chopper landed, and the engine was shut off. Krillin and Tien rushed to meet her while Yamacha lagged behind.
"Hey guys!" Bulma smiled widely as she bound out of the helicopter. Before the men could greet her, Bulma was back inside. When she emerged next, she had a blanket cradled in her arms. The woman re capsulated the plane and tried to grab her capsule case out of her pant pocket. Unsuccessful, she turned to Krillin.
"Could you hold her for a minute?" she asked, thrusting the blanket into his arms. Krillin just stared and held on to it as Bulma got out her case and put the chopper capsule in.
"If you want I'll take her back Krillin, I just needed a free hand," Bulma smiled holding out her arms again. It was then that Krillin actually looked down at what was resting in his arms. Gently pulling back the covers, he looked astonished at the baby in his arms. She had ivory skin and big blue eyes that were just beginning to open. He stared in awe as she giggled at him and rose her small hand to touch him where his nose should have been. Krillin brushed the thin turquoise hair from her face and let her hold his finger.
"My gosh Bulma! She is completely adorable!" said Tien when he saw the child. "Is she yours?"
Bulma smiled proudly, "Yep, that's my girl! She's just a little over a year old. She may seem small and delicate but she's a genius like me and strong too! Just this morning she nearly broke the dragon ball radar!"
Krillin and Tien laughed and continued to play with her while Yamacha glared at Bulma. 'How could she!' he thought, clenching his fists. 'After all we've been through together I'd thought she'd have a bit more respect for my feelings! When and with whom? I'll make him pay..'
"Yamacha?" Bulma asked, touching him gingerly on the shoulder. "I know this is all a bit sudden, but I'd like it if you would meet my daughter," she lowed her eyes.
Yamacha sighed. He could never stay mad at her. Grinning, he walked over to Krillin who was still holding the baby.
"Can I hold her?" Yamacha asked Krillin more than Bulma. Krillin looked up at Bulma who nodded, so Krillin gently lifted the baby into Yamacha's inexperienced arms.
"Like this?" he asked Bulma who smiled at him.
Yamacha stared in awe at the precious human being in his arms before looking up at her mother. "What's her name?" he asked, careful not to speak loud enough to desturb the child.
"Well," Bulma began, "she was my surprise and we are still kinda waiting for Goku, Gohan and Piccolo, but I guess I could tell you if you don't say anything to the others. Her name is..."
"Hey it's Goku!" Tien shouted, pointing at three growing specks in the sky.
Bulma smiled and took the baby from Yamacha's arms and carefully covered her up again before joining the others in welcoming the two saiyans and namekian.
"Sup yo?" laughed Goku, who stopped when he saw everyone face-vault. "Umm... yeah. Hey, so, what was your surprise Bulma?"
The woman smiled and slowly uncovered her baby and tossed the blanket aside.
"Oh my gosh!" Goku grinned, taking the child carefully from Bulma. She was wearing a cute red dress (an: think the one that Marron wore at the World Martial Arts Tournament) and white booties. She smiled widely at Goku and giggled, pulling on his hair.
Goku's grin widened (if that was even possible) and held up the girl above his head. "How's my little B-chan, hmm? Having fun and training or has mommy let you yet?" She giggled some more and grasped onto Goku's arm.
Bulma looked bemused at Goku, mouth hanging open. "Goku? How did you know her name was Bra? I haven't told anyone yet,"
Goku stared blankly at her before laughing again. "Must have been a lucky guess! Or maybe Chichi mentioned it. Ha ha!" He quickly went back to amusing Bra but caught a glare from Piccolo.
"So dad," Gohan asked Goku after ten minutes. "What's the plan for when the androids show up?"
"Hmmm, that's a good question Gohan," he answered, tossing B-chan up in the air and catching her again. "Maybe we should all talk about this together. Get everyone over here,"
"Maybe you should stop playing with the little one?" Piccolo spat. Goku caught Bra and held her against his chest, turned around to see everyone right behind him.
"Hee..hee," he mumbled as Bra played with his ears. "Hey B-chan," he whispered to the saiyan girl, "Maybe you should go play with Mommy so Uncle Goku can plan to save the world,"
Bra puffed out her lower lip but let Goku set her on the ground. She immediatley crawled over to her mother.
Goku closed his eyes and began to form a plan. "Alright, I propose when the time comes, we all begin searching a different part of the city. If you find them, raise your ki to alert the others and try to stop civilain casulaties. We'll have better odds with all of us facing them together. From what the girl from the future said, they are super entities,"
When he opened his eyes, everyone's mouths were hanging open again. "What?" he asked genuinly.
Krillin shook his head before replying, "Nothing Goku, but that's a great plan. Boy am I thirsty," Bulma walked back over to them and smiled down at the monk. "Where'd that come from Krillin? Here Goku, take Bra, she seems to like you better than me right now. I'll get us some drinks," Bra leapt from Bulma and right into a surprised Goku's arms.
Bulma pulled out a capsule and tossed on the ground, revealing a small refridgerator. Everyone walked over to the fridge and got out their prefered drink; Bra watched them all intently. After a while, she turned to Goku and smiled, "Unca Go?"
Goku grinned and turned to Bulma. "Does she have a bottle Bulma? I think she's a bit thirsty too,"
Bulma continued to stare, so Goku looked in the fridge before pulling out a bottle of milk. After slightly warming it up with his ki, he gave it to Bra who drank it furiously.
"Wow," Goku exclaimed, "she must have been hungry!"
"Yeah," Bulma replied a little dazed. "She takes after he father,"
Suddenly snapping out of her daze, she asked "Goku, did Bra just call you 'Unca Go'?"
"Yeah Bulma, I hope that's ok with you," he smiled sheepishly as Bra finished off her bottle.
"No that's great!" Bulma shouted, causing everyone to pause from their drinking and stare. "No, that's fabulous. Goku, she just spoke her first words! You should be honoured!"
"So Bulma," Yamacha asked suddenly "who is the father?" Everyone's gaze remained on Bulma, awaiting a response.
"Aww come on Bulma, tell us. Tell us who B-chan's daddy is," Goku smiled, putting Bra on his shoulder.
"Unca Go!" Bra squealed before turning to Bulma and shouting, "Momma! Dada?" she looked around confused, then back at her mother.
Bulma smiled at her daughter and sighed. "I guess I'd have to tell you guys eventually. Bra's father is Vegeta,"
"What?" "What?" "Really?" "$&*@!!!!"
Yamacha glared at Bulma and felt the scab over his heart rip open again. He turned away from the group and just stared out at the horizon. Bulma sighed and looked up at her friends. "Yep, Vegeta. He should have been here by now. He went to train on another planet a while ago and hasn't come back, but I know he would never miss today." She wiped a tear from her eye took Bra from Goku who smiled.
"You make a good couple," he grinned "Bra has Vegeta's strength but your intellect and beauty. A perfect mix."
Bulma smiled at Goku as if to say thank you.
"Hey ! It's Yajorobi!" Yamacha shouted after seeing his plane over the ocean. The seven turned and waved at the samarai, but were horrified to see his plane explode and the man fall into the sea.
"Quick Gohan!" Goku snapped, "go save Yajorobi and bring him up here." The boy nodded and flew quickly off.
Goku stared down at the city a saw a building collapse. He reached out with his mind to see if he could sense the perpretators. Unsuccessful, he turned back to his friends who all nodded and flew down towards the city. The andriods had arrived.
So... how do you like it? Good? Si? Well, I'll just say it took me a while to get through it. Writer's Block's a real bitch. Anyways, flames are welcome. Don't know when to expect a new chapter considering it took 5 months for this one but the title will be something along the lines of "Attack of the Andriods; return of the princess". Ciao.- Kaho
