Disclaimer: Seriously, I don't own anything. Ask my parents. It all belongs to them. Except DBZ. We don't own that. I do own Liz and Matt though. Well, I supposed Matt owns himself, but anyway, they are original characters I have made up.
A/N: I really hope someone is reading this. If not, I will have to throw myself into a pit of rabid toasters to end it all….
Chapter 3: Thank You Captain Obvious
Matt could only nod his head. Yeah, sure enough, right there in front of them, were Vegeta and Goku beating each other senseless in the name of training. All of the sudden his brain began to function again. "Liz, I think we've ended up in DBZ."
"Thank you Captain Obvious. The question is, how did we end up here? It is a cartoon, we're not supposed to be able to do this!" Liz responded.
Before Matt could respond, the bush in front of them erupted. Two smallish forms appeared, rolling in the dirt. Matt looked down. It was Trunks and Goten! The two continued to roll until finally Trunks pinned Goten beneath him. "Ha! I finally caught you Goten! Now you'll get what's coming too you!" Trunks yelled, raising a fist high in the air. However, he noticed that Goten was no longer paying attention to him. Instead, Goten was looking above him. Trunks turned to look, and with a short yelped jumped off Goten.
"Who are you?" Trunks exclaimed. Goten just climbed to his feet and stared.
Matt and Liz looked at each other, then back at the boys. "Well, I'm Liz and this is my friend Matt."
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, it was kinda an accident…"
"How did you find this place?"
"Like I said, it was an accident…"
Meanwhile, Goten had gotten bored with Trunks' inquisition. Noticing the box, he went over and started digging in it. He pulled out one of the comics, noticing it especially because it had his dad and brother on the cover. It said "The Cell Games" on the cover. Flipping through, he saw that it described the fight against Cell. He grinned. "Trunks, look at this! It's my dad and your dad and Gohan fighting Cell! Isn't it cool" Goten held the comic up to his best friend's face. Without waiting for a reply, Goten grabbed Liz's hand (only because she was closer) and dragged her behind him towards the fighting duo. Trunks and Matt were right on their heels.
"Dad! I found some people!" Goten yelled at the top of his lungs.
Goku looked down at his son. Vegeta took the opportunity and smashed Goku between the shoulder blades. Goku crashed to the ground. Once again, Liz and Matt could only watch in amazement. It was all for real!
Goku sat up from the Goku-sized hole that now existed in the meadow and looked at his younger son and then at the strangers. He flashed the Son grinä. "Hey! Who are you?"
Before anyone could say anything, a certain Saiyan prince landed, Vegeta smirkä in place. "Kakarott, you really should be able to concentrate better." The Vegeta's attention turned to the strangers and the smirk disappeared, to be replaced by a fierce frown. Liz couldn't help but notice that, while in the anime it looked scary, in real life it looked rather fake.
"Who are you and why have you come here?" Vegeta snarled.
"We're intergalactic, interdimensional assassins armed only with comic books and with a penchant for Douglas Adams and a horrible sense of sarcasm. Oh yes, and I COULD PULL YOUR HEART OUT OF YOUR CHEST WHILE IT WAS STILL BEATING AND FORCE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!" Liz said yelled sarcastically, throwing her arms up dramatically. She really wasn't all that happy with this situation, and she was really tired of playing 20 questions from Saiyan princes.
Goku and Goten just stared at her with their eyes wide open, while Trunks smiled. Vegeta, who never responded well to being yelled at, glowered at her. Matt just shook his head.
"Can you really do that?" Goten asked. Trunks slapped his own forehead.
"No, stupid, she was just being sarcastic. Look at her: She couldn't possibly be able to fight at all. She's too weak" Trunks said.
"Well, it's getting late. Chichi will be wondering where we are if we don't come home soon. You guys come along with us! There should be plenty of food." Goku said brightly.
"Sounds good to me. Hey Goten, if you want, I'll explain the book you found." Matt said.
"Yeah! Why are my dad and brother on the front?" Goten asked, pointing.
"See, it's a comic book. Where I come from, it's the original version of a show we call Dragonball Z. Then the comic is made into a cartoon. That's the book that told of the Cell Games." Matt explained.
This fascinated both Goten and Goku. As they all started walking off to dinner, Goku (who was now carrying Matt's big ass box of comics) began ruffling through them all and ran into a tree. Vegeta just rolled his eyes, and then glared at Liz. As he passed Matt though, his eyes went from angry to puzzled. They swept up and down Matt's form and then settled on his face. With a start, his eyes flashed to Liz. Then Vegeta walked away, shaking his head slowly. No one had noticed.
