"Ha!" Trunks leapt into the air.
"Ah!" Yamcha jumped up.
The two met in the middle and began to throw punches left and right. So far the start of the fight was equally matched. Trunks blocked Yamaha's attacks and Yamcha dodged Trunks attacks. Finally they both hit square in the middle and were thrown back a few feet from the force. Trunks powered up and charged at Yamcha. But Yamcha smiled, he dashed up and came back down quickly, kicking Trunks right into the ground with a swift dropkick to the back.
"I've got you right where I want you now." Yamcha smiled and stood in his ready pose. He motioned his hands. "Ka.. Me.. Ha.. Me.... HA!" He shot the Kamehameha attack at Trunks but when the dust cleared, he was nowhere to be found. "Hu?"
"Hey Yamcha!" Trunks called and Yamcha turned to see that he'd teleported out of the way and was now behind him. "Looking for me?"
Yamcha growled and charged at him. Trunks raised a glowing fist and took it right to the gut of Yamcha. He had the wind knocked right out of him, he coughed and sputtered, trying to catch his breath. Trunks smiled and raised both of his arms and jabbed both elbows into the back of Yamcha. He flew down towards the ground and fell with a loud bang that shot dirt up ten feet into the air. Trunks glided back down to the ground and landed, standing waiting for Yamcha to reappear.
"Wolf fang fist!" A glow emerged from the crater and hit Trunks full force. Yamcha jumped out of the hole in the ground and posed. Trunks was hit down hard. "And he's down for the count."
Trunks began to get up and Yamcha's smile turned into a frown, he thought he had this one in the bag. Trunks got up and smiled. Yamcha was shocked.
"Ah!" Trunks began to power up.
"Oh no, he's gone Super Saiyan!" Yamcha's jaw hit the floor.
"Now I have you where I want you." Trunks grinned. Yamcha was in too much shock to move or even close his mouth. Trunks charged at Yamcha and hit him head on onto a rocky ledge. Yamcha cringed as the pain surged through his body and up his back. Trunks began to charge up, Yamcha looked up at him and his eyes widened, he knew what he was going to do. "Burning attack!"
Trunks shot it full force at Yamcha and it hit right on target. Everyone watched quietly, waiting eagerly to see who would be the winner. As the smoke began to clear, it was seen that Yamcha had been blasted right through the mountain of rock and dirt and was now buried in sand by the burning attack of Trunks. Trunks went over to Yamcha and landed on the ground, waiting to see if he'd move or get up. Suddenly Yamcha's body began to twitch and he began to stir. His eyes cracked open and he could only make out a fuzzy image of Trunks. He coughed, wiping blood from his mouth, and fell back over, unconscious. All was still and quiet for a few more seconds, it was over.
"And our winner, the new and true World Tournament Champion, my son Trunks!"
"Yay!" Everyone roared with cheers. Trunks smiled and turned as everyone began to circle around him, congratulating the winner and champion.
"Hey, hey Yamcha." Trunks turned around but his smiled fade. "Yamcha?" He wasn't moving. He bent over. "Yamcha, are you ok? Wake up." Trunks began to worry but then he stopped. "Oh." He pulled out a senzu bean from his pocket. "Here, eat this Yamcha." He opened Yamcha's mouth and placed it on the back of his tongue. "Come on Yamcha." He began to massage Yamcha's neck to make him swallow it, finally he felt it go down Yamcha's throat. Everyone watched and waited to see if Yamcha was ok. Finally Trunks heard some sort of gurgling sound approaching Yamcha's lips. "Hu, Yamcha?"
"Hey." Yamcha slowly opened his eyes and smiled.
"And he's ok folks." Vegeta turned to the camera. Everyone clapped as Trunks helped the weary Yamcha stand up on his weak and tired legs.
"Hey, thanks for a great match." Trunks smiled at the former champion.
"Sure thing kid. If I had to loose to somebody, I was glad it was you." Yamcha grinned.
"There you have it everyone, the real champ." Vegeta raised Trunks hand. Everyone clapped and cheered as he did. Then Yamcha walked over to Trunks and raised his other hand. The applause grew, the torch had been passed, Trunks now held the title and Yamcha had succeeded in his reign.
"And that's a rap folks." Joey ended the tape. "That was great guys, this is gonna be a sure hit, you just wait and see."
"When will it be on air?" Bulma asked.
"I don't know but it will be soon." Joey said. "Thanks everyone." He and the camera guy left. Everyone went back to Gohan's apartment to wait for Gohan to come back.
"Hey guys." Gohan walked in the door late that afternoon. "So, what happened while I was gone, anything big?"
"Well, nothing too surprising." Yamcha smiled and turned to Trunks.
"Yea, just the usual." Trunks grinned back.
"Well come on then, let's go get something to eat, I'm starving."
"Son, I haven't heard anything today that sounded so good." Goku stood up.
Everyone laughed as they all went out to eat a late lunch early dinner together. At Hometown Buffet, everyone talked and laughed loudly, enjoying their time together.
"You know something?" Gohan said and everyone grew quiet. "I haven't had this much fun or been thins happy in a long time."
"Hey, that's right." Yamcha agreed, so did everyone else.
"You know what I think, I think you're onto something." Bulma added. "The last time I remember having this much fun or been this happy, was when we were all together back at Capsule Corp. with everyone." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I think that we shouldn't be apart like this. We all have lives, but can't they be closer just like we used to be? I mean, I don't want to be miserable all year only to be happy on the days where we're all together." Trunks spoke up and everyone lifted their glasses.
"A toast." Gohan stood up. "To family and friendship, may we never be apart again."
"Here, here!" Everyone toasted.
Gohan sat back down next to Videl. They smiled and Videl put her head on Gohan's shoulder. Everyone continued their meal and talked of good times and old memories. But one thing's for sure, this family has learned that long distance relationships don't work out. Distance may have separated them all before, but a California dream united them all. Later on, a month or so passed and eventually everyone had moved to California so they could all be within driving distance of each other. That next week, Joey aired the tape of the World Tournament special on Fox, it was the highest rank show on studio in history.
In the not so distant future.
Gohan got his big break in that movie deal. Trunks got a great recording signing with a hit record company. Yamcha was scouted by a San Diego boxing corporation and currently competes in the independents. Bulma is a designing engineer for a company in Inglewood, and Vegeta is a bodyguard at many arena events. Goten continues to train for world tournaments, determined to one day be a champion. He also bought a small house in Anaheim. Goku and Chi-Chi finally have the retirement home of their dreams on the beach in Malibu, occasionally everyone comes over and surfs. And as for Videl, she and Gohan got married and started a family. She lives with Gohan in his LA apartment and is soon to be expecting their first child. It looks like everything worked out for everyone, and they're all happy. So as it turns out, this California dream wasn't a nightmare after all.
