Childhood Dreams:

Disclaimer: Sigh.a bit disappointed with the number of reviews.please.please review more.hehe.Reviews are all the encouragement that I'd need.hehe.anyways some questions of the day!

Is Bulma together with Yamacha? Did he cheat on her?

~The answer is: Yes, she's currently together with Yamacha (more competition for our favorite Vegetable-head.) No, Yamaha doesn't cheat at the moment.smiles.lol

Did Piccolo train Gohan?

~The answer is: Yes, he did train Gohan, with the help of Goku of course. Together they trained Gohan to be become a warrior; Piccolo has developed a soft spot in his heart for the cute chibi.

Last time:

Goku continued on relentlessly, "We won't tell the others if you don't want us too," he said. "However, I think that it would be for the best if you helped us fight the Sayians."

Bulma avoided his glance, "I don't know," she whispered before walking away. "I just don't know."

"What did I do to deserve this," muttered Vegeta rubbing his temples in frustration.

"Earth," he whispered. "I wonder what surprises they have in store for me," as he went off to prepare the pods.

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

A few hours before the Sayians arrived (hey, what can I say, don't wanna wait that long)

Daybreak, the word that plagued the Z fighter's minds for the past two years. Today was the day the Sayians would be arriving.

Bulma watched as the sun painted streaks of red, yellow, and orange on the sky. "Blood," whispered Bulma, as she stared at the majestic painting. "Today so much blood would be shed."

She turned and walked back to her room, the curtains flapping around her. An old-worn out teddy bear lay on her bed, frowning slightly, like as if it already knew her decision. The freshly picked flowers filled her room with a delicious fragrance.

"Why me," sighed Bulma as she cradled her head in her arms, pulling her knees to her chest. "I have to chose which side to fight for, either for my race (don't forget, she's half sayian, plus she doesn't know that Vegeta's one of the "Sayians" that would be arriving) or for my friends."

"It doesn't matter who wins," snapped Bulma as angry tears trickled down her face. "One way or another, I'll lose."

"It's funny how it the universe seems to be against me," she snapped gently. "First it was Aphasia, then Vegetasai, now Earth. What have I ever done to deserve this?" she pondered silently, her eyes reveling only the emptiness that she's lived through.

She punched her pillow in frustration, causing a shower of fluff and feathers to explode in the middle of her room. "I hate my life," cursed Bulma, as she stared out towards the horizon with a glazed look in her eyes.

"They're here," she muttered, as she felt two unknown Ki enter the atmosphere. "So it has begun," she muttered silently.

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

Meanwhile: The Z-fighters stared at the sky with fear and anxiety clear in their eyes. The two Ki were so large, they had never faced anyone so strong.

Goku looked in the direction of Capsule Corps. "Is she going to help us or not," he muttered softly under his breath. "We need her this time, or else we might all be doomed."

Piccolo had caught Goku's nervous words, and shot him a considerate look. "Bulma would come sooner or later, she's your friend, has she ever betrayed you when you needed her most?" he asked knowing fully well what the answer would be.

Goku stared at his feet ashamed, "You're right Piccolo, after all, it's her choice. She's been through so much, and now isn't the time to be doubting her loyalty."

"Umm.Goku, do you think we actually stand a chance," asked Yamacha carefully observing Goku's reaction. "I don't want to die yet, Bulma still needs me."

Goku faced Yamacha silently, his eyes told the story.

"You, you mean that there's no hope," stuttered Yamacha with a worried glance on his face.

"There's always hope," interrupted Goku, as he put his hand on Yamacha's shoulder shaking him slightly. "As long as you believe in yourself, we'll have a chance. Remember what's at stake here, the lives our friends and family, not to mention our race. If that won't convince you, then think about what would happen to Bulma if we failed." (wow.Goku's actually being smart.sweatdrops anime style)

Yamacha nodded gingerly, "Bulma I'll do anything for you as long as I know you'll be safe," he promised mentally. He turned towards the remaining Z- fighters and urged them on with a new-found energy.

"Don't ever give up!" he lectured, "Most importantly don't let your enemy out of your sight."

Krillin, Piccolo, Tien looked at him in amusement. "He's acting just like my junior-high teacher," thought Krillin, before suppressing the urge to shudder, as he pulled Yamacha aside.

"Man, what were you thinking," questioned Krillin with a puzzled expression on his face. "Are you sure you're feeling okay?" he asked with concern, "I think the Sayian Invasion thing is getting to your head."

Yamacha turned his face away to hide the red blush that was emerging on his cheeks. "Damn he's right," he thought while scolding himself mentally. "I've just made a total fool of myself."

"Fine, let's get prepared," replied Yamacha after he recovered. "The Sayians won't get past us, I'll bet my life on it," he promised solemnly. "Bulma, I promise, those monkeys won't ever hurt you."

He suddenly jerked his head towards the sky, as he saw two gigantic pods crashing towards the ground a few miles from them.

He and the rest of the Z-fighters exchanged a look before flying at top speed towards the mysterious pods.

Below the ditch that had been formed during the "gentle" landing, the pods doors began opening.

The Z-fighters stood in shock as they watched as a gigantic pair of feet swung out of the pod, revealing:
