Interviews

"Paris Shinhan has ultimately defeated her opponent!"

"Goten Son has trounced the competition!"

"Yet another score for the 8-and-under as Trunks Brief finishes off the opposition!"

"I have never seen such a stunning display of skill in a 7-year-old, but it appears Marron Chestnut has it all!"

So it was, until only Marron, Goten, Trunks, and Paris were left in the entire tournament.

Mr. Yochi's microphone glinted in the sun as he shouted over the cheering. "And here it is, folks! The next matches will decide who goes on to the Finals!"

The cheering, if humanly possible, got louder.

Mr. Yochi had to shriek into the microphone. "BUT FIRST, LET'S MEET OUR COMPETITORS!"

The cheering quieted down.

"Now, this is the first time anyone under 10 have made it this far. This four must be incredibly gifted to have come to the finals!" Mr. Yochi tuned and stuck the microphone in Trunk's face. "So, Trunks, are you related to Dr. Brief of Capsule Corps?"

"He's my grandpa," Trunks shrugged.

"Oh!…Wait. Wouldn't you have a different last name? Dr. Brief only has a daughter."

Trunks shook his head. "Dad doesn't have a last name."

"Oh? Was he orphaned?"

"Uh…you could say that."

"I see." Mr. Yochi then stuck his microphone in Goten's face next. "So, Goten, you look incredibly like Goku, who, if you veterans recall, made it to 2nd place when he was 12 years old, the youngest second-place we've ever had. Are you related to him in any way?"

"He's my dad."

"Really?! Amazing! Why hasn't he been here for the past 7 years?"

"He died."

"Oh! My condolences."

"But he came back for a day! He's competing in the adult tourney!"

"Really?! How?"

"Um…the lady brought him back from the dead."

"Who's the lady?"

"I don't know her name, but she's really old and wrinkly and she flies on a crystal ball, and…wait, I'm not supposed to talk about this."

Up in the stadium, Gohan was banging his head against the wall.

"Uh…okay." Mr. Yochi turned to Paris. "Shinhan, huh? I vaguely remember that name from somewhere."

"Tien Shinhan is my dad," Paris said. "And my mom is Launch Aleera."

"Launch Aleera? The THIEF?"

"Oh, we don't keep pepper or feathers in the house, and we dust every day. That way, my mom can't change into Rancha."

"Rancha?"

"That's Evil Launch. She changes into Rancha when she sneezes."

"Um, do you have that problem?" Mr. Yochi crossed his fingers.

"No."

"Phew."

"But I do have my dad's third eye!" Her hand went for her bangs.

Trunks caught her hand and shook his head. "Paris, I wouldn't."

"Wow that's…unusual. So, Marron." He turned to the last one. "Not that I'm picking on you or anything, but why are you so tiny? For a 7-year-old, I mean?"

"I was born 5 months early."

"WHAT?! How did you survive?"

"Oh, I was supposed to!" Marron said. "I'm not sure why, but Mama told me that me being early was healthy. And it was, too, 'cause I'm here!"

"Who's your mom?"

"Her name's 18."

"18? Odd name."

"And my dad is Krillin."

"Krillin?!"

"Yeah, Daddy told me about how he competed and got pretty far. He's much stronger now. He's in the adult tourney."

"I see. Well, I see our interviews are over. Now, the match-up for the Junior Tournament Finals! They are…" he unfolded the paper and read it. "Trunks vs. Paris and Goten vs. Marron!"

The crowd erupted into cheers.

The young man in the stadium smirked. "All right, Marron. Let's see how well you fare against a Saiyan."
