Disclaimer: Even though Christmas is coming I know for a fact that I will be getting the one gift that I don't want and that's a paper saying that I don't own Dragonball Z and all of its characters. I wish I did own them then the paper would read different.

Claimer: I will however always have last years gift that told me that I own Cheena. I love that gift and will always treasure it.

Author's Note: Well my semester in college is up and I am so happy. I wanted to write this chapter on the 12th because that day marked this story's 1-year anniversary. I can't believe I've been apart of this fanfic community for 1 year. I hope to continue for a few more years. I'm back now and I guess it's time to write Author's Note 2.

Author's Note2: Thank you to every single one of you who reviewed the last chapter plus understood why I couldn't update last week. I hope you all enjoy this chapter so I guess all I can say is..Here is Chapter 44! Enjoy and see you at the end of the chapter.

Running at full speed, Cheena stopped in front of Trunks. He was encased in a big purple pod. Only his face was shown in which his eyes were closed. "Trunks, wake up!" Cheena said as she gently touched the long stem extending from the pod to the floor. "Everyone's here!" Goku said as he looked around. Moving away from Trunks, Cheena looked to see Piccolo, Gohan and Goten in the same purple pods. "Trunks and Goten could do a fusion once we get out of here since they're separated now" Goku said as he looked at his youngest son. Walking back to Trunks, Cheena just stared at him. "What are you staring at runt?" Vegeta asked as he glared at Cheena. Without looking at him, she responded. "We have to get them down!" "Duh, don't you think I know that" Vegeta snapped. Turning her head, Cheena glared at Vegeta. "These things are weird; it's like egg plants" said Goku as he touched the pods. Raising his hand, Vegeta pointed it towards the pod Trunks was in. "Get out of the way!" he yelled to Cheena. Jumping to the side, Cheena watched as he blasted the pod down. Getting the idea, Cheena ran over to Goten's pod and blasted it down.

All 4 pods were pulled next to one another once they were shot down. I think Buu's getting weak" Cheena said as she looked at her dad. "Now that they aren't apart of him anymore, he's getting weaker" Goku said as he looked down at the pods. "Would you two stop talking and let's blast out of here" Vegeta said as he prepared to fire a ki blast. "Wait a minute Vegeta! If we leave now then he'll kill us. His power is decreasing but not by much. He can still win if we battled him now. There is only one way for us to win" Goku said with a smirk on his face. Cheena looked at her dad for a while before realizing what he was talking about. "A fusion! Vegeta, you and my dad could do a fusion then Buu couldn't beat us no matter what" she said with a smile on her face. "No way!" Vegeta yelled as he looked at Cheena. "Why not?" both Goku and Cheena asked together. "Because that's too prissy! Where are you're dignities? We are fighters not ballet dancers" Vegeta said as he folded his arms across his chest. "That's a good thing! You would look horrible in a tutu!" Cheena muttered to herself. "What was that runt?" Vegeta asked as he glared at Cheena. "What? I didn't say anything!' Cheena said innocently as she smiled that famous Goku smile. "Hey look over there!" Goku said as he pointed in the distance. Moving her head to the left, Cheena looked to see another pod and in this one was the Buu she meet earlier. "That looks like Buu but it can't be" she said as she walked over to it followed by her dad and Vegeta. "I guess there were 2 Buu's, they fought and this one lost" said Goku as he stood in front of the pod. "What do you think happened to him?" asked Cheena. "Well I guess we should just read his mind" Goku said as he closed his eyes along with Vegeta and Cheena. They watched as good Buu tried his luck against bad Buu only to get turned into a chocolate version of himself and eaten. As the image faded, Cheena looked at the good Buu. "I knew he wasn't a bad guy, I just knew it" she said. Goku and Vegeta just stared at Buu in his pod. Suddenly Cheena's concentration was broken when she sensed something behind her. Turning around her eyes went wide with what she saw.

"Dad! Vegeta!" she said as she stared in shock at the sight in front of her. Quickly looking behind her she noticed that her dad and Vegeta were ignoring her. "Dad! Vegeta! Look!" she yelled again. "Not now runt!' Vegeta said as he continued to look at the pod. "Would you two look? It's Buu!" she yelled as she backed up into her dad's leg. Looking down at Cheena, Goku turned around to see what she was talking about. The Buu they were fighting earlier on was rising up out of the ground with a scowl on his face. "Buu!" Goku yelled as he turned around and took his fighting stance. Vegeta turned around and growled at the sight of Buu. Cheena looked at her dad before taking her own fighting stance. "What have you idiots done?" Buu yelled as he glared at the trio in front of him. Angered over what they did, Buu powered up. "We are in trouble" said Vegeta as he watched. "Why did you crush your earring? You could of put it in your pocket but no you had to destroy it" mocked Goku as he glared at Vegeta. Vegeta glared back but didn't say anything; he just transformed into a Super Sayian. Goku transformed into a Super Sayian, as did Cheena. "I guess we're going to battle" Cheena said low to herself as she looked at Buu. Suddenly Buu surprised everyone by starting to laugh.

"Why is he laughing?" Cheena asked as she glared at Buu. Angered, Goku shouted out as he pointed his palm towards Buu. Firing a blast, it flew past Buu and hit the wall behind him. The blast created a dent but quickly disappeared. Cheena's eyes went wide as she looked at the wall that looked like nothing happened. "Why isn't there a hole?" she asked as she looked at her dad. Goku growled as he powered up in anger. "Let's go! We're leaving!" Goku yelled as he took off towards the ceiling. Vegeta followed after him, as did Cheena. Just then Buu appeared in front of them and with 3 quick punches he knocked them back down. Landing on her feet, Cheena glared at Buu who started to yawn. *He's yawning? What nerve!* she said as she clenched her fists in anger. Goku and Vegeta both charged towards Buu trying to deliver a couple of punches. Buu moved out of the way just as their punches would have made contact. Disappearing out of sight, Goku and Vegeta looked around for him. "Dad, where did he go?" Cheena asked as she looked at her dad. Before Goku could answer, Buu appeared grabbing a hold of Goku and Vegeta's head. Quickly he brought them together in a hard way. Cheena closed her eyes as she heard a loud smack. As she opened her eyes she saw her dad and Vegeta holding onto their heads. "What is your head made out of?" Vegeta asked as he held his head. "That had to hurt!" Cheena said as she watched. Just then Buu disappeared again only to appear in front of Cheena.

"No watching allowed!" Buu said as he wrapped his hand around her mouth and lifted her up to his level. Cheena remained quiet as she moved her mouth so Buu's finger was in position. Bringing it down as hard as she could, Cheena dug her teeth into Buu's finger. "OW!" Buu yelled as he dropped Cheena. Landing on her feet, Cheena jumped back and away from Buu. Taking her fighting stance, Cheena prepared for battle. As Buu held onto his now bruised finger, Cheena looked to see her dad and Vegeta standing cheek to cheek. A smirk appeared on her face as she looked at Buu. "If I were you I would worry less about my finger and more about what's going to happen to me" she said. Growling, Buu just stared at Cheena. "And what are you going to do?" Buu snapped. Cheena just continued to smirk as she looked at her dad and Vegeta. Vegeta's hands were palm to palm in the middle and Goku's hands were palm to palm on the top and bottom. "You little brat! You will pay for that" Buu said as he stalked towards Cheena. "CHEENA, MOVE!" Goku yelled. Quickly Buu turned around to see a huge blast heading towards him. Jumping to the side, Cheena stayed low as the blast hit Buu head on. As the light faded away, Cheena looked to see small pink blobs all over the place. "Gross..I mean, nice shot!' she said as she stood up. Looking at her dad and Vegeta, she could only help but smile at the sight in front of her. Vegeta was wiping his cheek as he glared at Goku. "No more! Fighting cheek to cheek, yuck!" Vegeta said as he continued to wipe his cheek. "Time to clean up!" Goku said as he started to blast the pieces. Following after her dad, Cheena helped out and blasted away the pieces around her. After all the pieces were destroyed, Cheena wiped her forehead and smiled at her dad. "It's over! We did it!" she said. Just then laughter erupted around the area.

"What is that?" Cheena asked as she looked around. "Knock! Knock!" a voice said that sounded just like Buu's. "It can't be!" Cheena said as she looked at her dad. "Who's there?" Vegeta asked as he looked around. "Buu!" Buu said. "Buu who?" Vegeta asked. "Don't cry! Everyone dies sometimes!" Buu said as he continued to laugh. Cheena looked around the area as she tried to get a good look at Buu. *Where is he?* she asked herself. Just then Buu appeared right in front of Cheena and was about to punch her but she moved out of the way. Cheena charged towards Buu to deliver a hard kick but he disappeared. Landing on her feet, Cheena looked around. "Where is he?" she yelled as she looked at her dad and Vegeta. Suddenly everyone looked to see Buu all over the place; from the ceiling, out of the wall, up from the ground, just everywhere. Buu continued to laugh as he continued to pop up everywhere. "STOP IT!" Vegeta yelled as he looked around. Buu just continued to laugh and laugh. "He's driving me crazy" he said as his veins started to pop out of his head. Frustrated he started to fire ki blast after ki blast at all the Buu's he saw. Cheena watched as a few of his blasts went hurdling towards the pods. "Watch it Vegeta!" she yelled as she dodged his blasts and ran towards the pods. "Cheena!" Goku said as he watched Cheena move as fast as he could to avoid getting hit. Looking back quickly Cheena watched as one blast came hurdling right towards her and the pods. "CHEENA!" Goku yelled just as the blast hit the area where Cheena and the pods were.

As the light faded, Goku looked to see..absolutely nothing. "Che?' he asked as he looked around. He looked around until he saw Cheena to the side with her hands up in front of her face. All 4 pods were behind her and not harmed in any way. Happy that she was ok, Goku looked at Vegeta who was breathing heavily. "Vegeta, take it easy!' he said. "Time is running out!" Buu said as he appeared in front of Goku, Vegeta and Cheena. Goku fired a blast towards Buu in which Buu just disappeared. "Oh c'mon! Stop running and fight!" Cheena yelled as she watched. Goku and Vegeta looked around for any sight of Buu. Just then a big fist appeared knocking Goku and Vegeta back into the wall. "NO! Dad, Vegeta!" Cheena said as she looked on. She watched as a few red globs started to creep towards Vegeta. "I will absorb you and then you will be apart of me" Buu said as he started to laugh. "VEGETA!" Cheena yelled as she watched the ooze creep towards him. "VEGETA LOOK OUT!" she yelled as she ran towards him. "Cheena? Vegeta!" Goku yelled as he watched his daughter charge towards Vegeta. Looking at Buu, he noticed a sinister look on his face as he looked at Cheena. "LOOK OUT!" Goku yelled as he charged towards both Vegeta and his daughter.
