A/N: School is stressful. All I gotta say.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After hearing this story, I was surprised to learn that I wasn't named after this mysterious person from the future, but for a Namekian word for hope. Also, this is one of the only times in our entire lives that Goten, Trunks, and I were speechless.

Trunks broke the silence of course, since that kid can't keep quiet for more than 5 minutes, "Wow! I was sure really cool! I am so going to great! I am going to be a super hero! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Sound of hand smacking Trunks on the head.

"I hate it when he does that," muttered Goten.

"I guess you can say that the son is always like the father," grinned Yamucha.

"What??????????? You take that back now!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to get you for that!!!!!!!!!" roared Vegeta.

"Yep yep yep yep. Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Yamucha.

A very large blast is gaining power.

"Vegeta stop now! I just redecorated!" screamed ChiChi.

"Vegeta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take you anywhere anymore! Get here now!!!!" Bulma yelled.

Vegeta eventually calmed down and put his blast away. Yamucha was shaking.

"Anyway, as I was saying, this could have to do with our present Tige," Krillin said.

"That makes perfect sense Krillin. Now everything makes more sense," Piccolo sighed.

"Does that mean she will go Super?" asked Chiaotzu.

"I really don't know. It really all should depend on her," assumed Gohan.

"Well Piccolo, you better tell Dende and Mr. Popo to start hiding everything breakable. If Tige broke everything before this power, just imagine what she can do with the power," laughed Krillin.

"I guess Dende better get a healing spell for calming down," said 18.

"I still am the best! Goten, Ti, Marron, bow down to me!"

"Hey, I was there with you and made sure you didn't die!"

"Still.I am the best! Ha ha ha ha! I want a crown now!"

"Do I have to smack you on the head again?"

"Bow to me! I am a super hero!"

"He's acting as weird as Vegeta does and his Saiyajin Prince thing. He's the prince of one dead full Saiyajin, one alive full Saiyajin, three ½ Saiyajins, and a bunch of other random people. He's the prince of nothing. I guess the son is always like the father," muttered the same person who did before.

"This time you are going to die!"

"Opps."

"I am the Prince of the Saiyajins! My son is the heir to the throne! You will die!"

"Uhhhh."

"Die!"

"Dad, calm down. Gosh, even I know when to stop."

"Yeah, right Trunks. It takes a smack from Goten before you shut up, but you still end up talking," I said.

Everyone fell over, with a sweat drop on his or her face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Everything went well for all of us for the next few years. The only surprise that only Trunks, Goten, and I knew, with the expectation of ChiChi, was that Goten went Super Saiyajin at age 6.

I got a small jewel from Piccolo and Dende to place on my band. It was just a simple green circular jewel that seemed to fit my band just fine. They gave it to me for my 7th birthday, just to remind that I will always carry around the Namekian spirit with me.

Trunks, Goten, and I came up with a new game called "run-away-from-Bulma- and-ChiChi-because-they-had-cameras". This game started because both of these moms got cameras for their birthdays and they wanted to remember our childhood. I still remember all of our poses and whining. I guess I got lucky that Piccolo and Dende never really cared about pictures, but they always accepted the ones they were given.

The only reason that I really do remember the pictures is that most of them had to do around a special tree in the forest. It was off to the side all alone and it was tree that many things happened at. Piccolo had found me near that tree, I was hanging upside-down on that tree the day I turned into the Healer Saiyajin, Trunks, Goten, and I spent the entire day at the tree the day they made the promise to protect me and we fell asleep at that tree, and many other things that had not happened yet would happen near or on that tree. It would become known as the Tree of Z.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The day that Gohan came flying by with the news of Goku coming back and entering the World Martial Arts Tournaments, I was with Piccolo. I hadn't been down on earth for a while because Vegeta was making Trunks train more because he had been sick for a while and Goten said that Gohan had to study so he had to help his mom out a lot. But I really didn't mind that much. I was happy to be with my father and I hadn't blown anything up in a long time so Dende and Mr. Popo were not mad at me.

When I saw Gohan, I ran toward him with a teddy bear in my arms. The bear was dressed in yellow outfit with little matching bows on each ear.

"Gohan!"

"Hey there Tige. Happy late birthday! Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday and wish you a happy birthday.err.I was busy."

"That's okay. Look! Daddy and Dende gave me this jewel thingy, Mr. Popo gave me new hair ties and Mr. Vegeta came up here with this bear from Goten and Trunks, and I also got other stuff too! He said that Bulma made him fly up here and give it to me. He also said that her and ChiChi helped make the bows, but Goten and Trunks picked the bear!"

"Wow Ti. Seemed like you had a great time. Would you mind another gift?"

"Why?"

"I have got something for you here." with that Gohan pulled out a small square gift from is pouch. I unwrapped it and saw it was a picture frame with a picture of Goten, Trunks, and I sitting around the Tree of Z.

"Wow."

"It's the first picture I took for my photography class. I wanted you to have it."

"Thank you so much! I'll keep it forever. You seem like you got something else on your mind. Why did you come up here?"

"I guess we can't keep anything from you Ti," Gohan said laughing, "Can I talk to your dad, Dende, and Mr. Popo?"

"Sure. But why are you wearing that funny outfit? Are you going to a costume party?"

"Just go and get your dad, please."

I found my father, Dende, and Mr. Popo and brought them to Gohan. Dende told me that my daddy trained Gohan and was his really good friend. I guess that is why my dad didn't mind coming out of meditation for a while.

"Hello there Gohan."

"Hello Piccolo, Dende, Mr. Popo. I have got really good news for you. My dad's coming back for the day and going to fight in the World Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Goku? Really? This should be interesting."

"Yes, it should be Piccolo. I'm going to enter and so are the others. Are you?"

"Sure. Why not?"

"What about you Dende? I do believe you would enjoy it."

"No thanks Mr. Popo. I much rather heal than fight."

"Daddy, isn't Goku Goten's dead dad? Is a dead person really coming here?"

"Well, if you put it that way, yes."

"Is Goten happy to see his daddy?"

"Well, Ti, I haven't been home yet. I'll have him tell you himself."

"Okay."

"Bye everyone."

"Gohan wait."

"Yes Piccolo?"

"Are you really going to wear that outfit?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I had just gotten the news about Trunks and Goten going to participate in the Worlds, so of course I wanted to. At the time Videl came over for her flying lessons, I was staying with the Son's. Piccolo was in deep meditation and Dende and Mr. Popo had to make sure that everything went smoothly. Vegeta was making Trunks practice over time, so the only place I could stay and practice at the same time was at Goten's house.

I had already learned to fly from Piccolo, so I just would sometimes tag along with the lesson just so I could see how everything was going.

During the breaks between learning, Gohan would often times fly away with Goten for a few minutes just to get in extra training time, so I would stay with Videl. Throughout my life, I would continue coming over to her and talking to her. At this time, she would just play with me and I would show her my ki blast thing that I learned from watching Goten and Trunks blow up something.

When the flying lessons were finally done, I would sometimes tag along with Goten and Gohan to train. Other times, I would just stay home with ChiChi. It really didn't matter though. I still had my tail and I was already stronger that Goten and Trunks. I was catching up with Gohan as well. I wasn't allowed to train with Vegeta and Trunks anymore because I broke a few things in their gravity room. I am still glad I was able to get out of there alive with Vegeta on my tail. (*grin*)

I had already done some training with Piccolo and Dende helped me focus my energy on healing or fighting, depending on what I was doing at the moment, so I really did not mind not training for a while.

However, I still really wondered how a dead person could come back to life for only one day.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When the tournament finally arrived, everyone was in a stir. Everyone wanted to see Goku again.

When we were waiting to sign in, a familiar person just came out of nowhere. Trunks stopped in his tracks, Goten ran and hid behind ChiChi, Marron stayed with 18, and I stayed with Piccolo. Everyone was all starry- eyed and happy to see the dead warrior once again.

When Goku finally saw Goten for the first time, I couldn't believe how cute it was. The only fatherly figures I had known throughout my life were Vegeta, not the best example, Krillin, but I never did see him that much, Piccolo, and sometimes Dende. I had never seen a person who was as carefree as Goten before and really did try to do a lot for his family. I was really happy for Goten to finally get to meet his father for the first time. However, I have always had the hunch, and so did Goten as he grew up, that Goku didn't even know he existed until he remarked to ChiChi that there was another "him" standing behind her leg.

When Goku said hello to Piccolo, he noticed a pair of silver eyes looking at him and a monkey tail sticking out. Poor old Goku could have never been so confused in his life. Piccolo just smiled and asked me to introduce myself. I told Goku that I was Tige, but he could call me Ti, like most people did, except when I got in trouble. Goku introduced himself and Piccolo told him that he would tell him the story of me after they signed in.

So after saying our goodbyes and I-wish-you-lucks, Piccolo told Goku a quick run over of my history. I was running ahead with Goten and Trunks, however, every time I got ahead of one them, they would always pull me tail. I wanted to blast them to pieces, but they told us not to use our blasts unless we were in the ring.

When Piccolo told Goku that I was what they believe to be that last of the Pure Saiyajins, Goku didn't get it. Piccolo put it another way. He said that I was 100% Saiyajin blood. Goku said very loudly, she's a pure Saiyajin? Everyone stopped dead in their tracks and looked over at him. Goten, Trunks, and I ran over.

"Daddy, and do you know what else?"

"What Goten?"

"She has special powers too."

"Yeah, Mr. Goku. She can become the Healer Saiyajin if she wants too."

"You mean that legend person Vegeta told me about a really long time ago?"

"Yes I can sir."

"Do you know what else dad?"

"I can't imagine."

"Trunks and I promised to protect her forever with our lives."

"Yes we did. We wouldn't let anything take her away or hurt her."

"Unless it I you guess pulling on my tail."

"Blah blah to you! Come on Goten, let's get her!"

"Trunks, why don't you save your anger so you can use it in the rink."

"Yeah, you'll need it so you can run when I kick your butt!"

"Tige."

"Sorry dad. But this time its Trunks' fault!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha. You three where just like Krillin and I, back when we just started to train. Come here Goten."

"Okay dad."

Goten gets picked up and swung around to sit on Goku's shoulders. While we started to walk again, Trunks and I evil-eyeing each other. I always got along better with Goten. Trunks and I would always argue and we would make Goten be the peacemaker. Even now when we are older, Goten and Trunks gang up on me, I kick both of their butts, Trunks and I get in a huge disagreement, and Goten has to pull us apart before we blow something up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

To summarize the Worlds, Goten, Trunks, and I quickly breezed through everyone we were put up against. I was put up against a 14 year old for the fight for the spot in the finals, and I won (*grin*). However, Trunks and Goten weren't so lucky. They had to fight each other for a spot in the finals. The battle went on for what seemed like forever, with them turning Super Saiyajin, blasting parts of buildings, and making promises. I watched from the side and just laughed the entire fight. I knew most of the attacks and methods that they were using on each other since I had seen them practicing so much.

Then a thought hit me.

If Trunks and Goten could go Super Saiyajin, why couldn't I? I should be able to. I figured that if they could do it, then I should be able to as well. Then I decided to practice when we got home.

When Goten got his out of bounds, I was getting ready for my turn with Trunks. Before I went up to fight, I passed Goten and said that he did a good job. Goten blushed and said thanks. Then it was time to fight.

When I got up there, Trunks and I got into fighting positions. I knew that the audience did not expect such a small looking girl to make it this far. I knew that I had to prove them wrong. From the sidelines Trunks and I heard Goten cheering for us. Before we started to fight, Trunks told me that I was going to get it. I told him the same thing. We started of with a kick here, punch there, flying around, tricking each other, and such. This went on for a while and we were able to use our blasts. Then Trunks went super.

When he went super, he told me that he wanted to end this right then. I told him that it wasn't fair because I couldn't go super. Then we started to yell at each other. I was just floating above him and he was stamping his feet on the ground. From the stands, the other Z-Fighters were just sighing, like they could just see that coming. Goku said that that was just the way that he and Vegeta would act. Goku had to compare everything to everything. Goten was trying to convince the announcer guy to let him get up there and stop us from yelling. Gohan had to come up with some excuse for Videl.

Then I just about had it.

"I am going to do it now so we can just end our fight."

"What are you going to go Ti? Give up?"

"No Trunks.I'm going super. You know I can sometimes stand being left out.but this is something I wouldn't let pass me by."

"I would just like to see you try."

So then I just focused my energy and started to power-up. My hair started to change color little by little, until it was blond and sticking out to the sides a bit.

"See I told you I could do it."

"Oh.No fair! Now I don't have the advantage!"

"Sure you do.you're older and have gone super before."

"Okay then. Let's go."

While Trunks and I were talking, the astonished adults could not believe their eyes. Three minors just went super right before their eyes. Some of them knew about Trunks, no one knew about Goten, and this was the first time ever that I went super. Now they really wanted to see who would win.

The normal audience, who did not know about Super Saiyajins, were just confused and lost on how three little kids can be so strong and change the color of their hair so fast.

In the end, after much flying and punching, Trunks and I did a final ki blast at each other. I was able to stand hold on the ground, but Trunks wasn't able to. He stepped out of the ring. I won the tournament, but really didn't care. I wanted to see the adults fight.

With my fight with Mr. Satan, I just tripped him while he was standing and with my foot banged his knee and kicked him out of the ring. I was still waiting for the adults to fight.

I was with Goten and Trunks when they became Mighty Mask. Since this also wasn't a three-person thing, I went to find my father. He took me to the stands to watch the game. I wasn't very happy, but I knew that as soon Goten and Trunks were done, I would end up bothering them.

After watching Krillin take down the really big guy, my father forfeit for a reason unknown to me at the time, Videl get beat up, and Gohan get all his energy taken away and put back, I was shocked. I really wanted to go and fly away with everyone because I wanted to know what happened, but Bulma and ChiChi made me hold Marron so I couldn't just get up and drop her. Yamucha told Marron not to get up unless an adult told her to.

When Mighty Mask unveiled, I could tell that ChiChi, Bulma, and Yamucha knew that I knew it was Goten and Trunks along and I didn't tell them. Marron had been picked up by Yamucha so she could see better, so I was left standing on my seat, watching Goten and Trunks get into trouble, again. When they started to fly away, I started to as well, but Yamucha tried to stop me. He said that who knew what Piccolo would do if I got hurt. I said that my friends were gone and they probably went to go find their dads, and that I wanted to know what was going on as well. Yamucha still didn't let go of my arm, and ChiChi and Bulma were trying to hold me back, so I just did a quick power-up and flew right out of their arms. I told them that I would be careful and would tell everyone else to as well.

When I finally caught up with Goten and Trunks, they had stopped for a second. They told me that they didn't know where to go. After we spotted Videl and she told us the story of Buu and where everyone was going, we headed off in that direction.

A/N: School is still stressful. But the social life makes up for it! LOL Until later I guess, D-Yai.
