The spacepod streaked through the sky, it's occupant now awake from her week's journey. It's fiery tail trailed behind it as it prepared to land. "Let's see what 'great power' these Saiyans possess." The pod then hit the ground with an earthshattering crash. "Finally." The pod door hissed open, vapors from inside releasing into the atmosphere. The figure then stepped out into the bright sunlight.
"So this is Earth? Hm...it looks like I landed in the middle of nowhere...better find some civilization and try to fit in." She reached back and shed her cloak, leaving just her bare ornamental armor and black pants to absorb the sunlight. The armor was blue and had silver swirls in a very chaotic pattern all over it, the shoulder pads connected to her armor by a type of red, spongy material. She freed her dark red hair from it's braid to fall behind her to about her upper back, still, amazingly, or through years of practice, without a tangle in it. Hard blue eyes looked up, one through the blue scouter lens, focusing on the task at hand. "Time to go Saiyan hunting." She then took off through the air, heading toward the nearest population center she had detected from orbit to start the hunt.

Vegeta was again training in 'his' gravity room, throwing punches in midair now. A ghost of a presence tugged at his awareness, but he dismissed it as unimportant for the time. Throwing one last punch, he then got onto the floor and started doing pushups on one finger. "Why can't that woman ever make decent training devices? I'm sure that right now, Kakarott has that goofy smile on his stupid face, congratulating Uub on something or other, all the while getting stronger through training while I sit here barely getting any stronger!" Vegeta then launched himself from the floor, did a backflip and landed upright. He walked over to the gravity controls, turned them to normal, grabbed a towel, and wiping some of the accumulated sweat off his face, he headed toward the door.
The door, opening before he got to it, revealed a cheerfully smiling Bulma, dressed in a tan formal outfit. "Vegeta, I'm glad that you're done for now, because there's going to be an executive meeting soon, an important one, and I can't have you out here making it sound like there's a war going on."
"Woman! I don't care about your stupid meeting! What am I supposed to do if I can't train?!" Vegeta was obviously miffed by her sudden talk of no training for who knew how many hours.
Bulma sighed and made a face, "Why can't you take your children out to the park or something? I'm sure that little-" She was interrupted here by Vegeta's shouting.
"DON'T SAY THAT CHILD'S NAME IN FRONT OF ME! It's bad enough that you named my son and heir 'Trunks', but you had to go and name our daughter....MY DAUGHTER...." He started stuttering at this point, not willing to bring himself to say it.
"Bra?" Bulma suggested in an innocent sounding voice.
"YES! DON'T SAY THAT! How could you have named her something like....THAT!?"
"I think it's cute!"
"You...you...you think it's....you think it's WHAT?!"
"Cute. Need I spell it out?"
"How could you-? Wait, don't say it. I don't want to know. Can you imagine how boys will act when she's older and she says her name is...is..."
"Bra?"
"STOP SAYING THAT! It's just not right for her to be named after a piece of....UNDERCLOTHING!" Vegeta was quite red in the face by now from yelling.
"We'll deal with that problem when the time comes, but for now, I don't want you training for the rest of the day, you got that?" Bulma tapped her foot impatiently, hoping Vegeta wouldn't drag it out farther.
"FINE! We'll talk more of this later! For now, I'm going out to eat!" True to his word, he flew off into the sky before Bulma could get out another word.

The two figures were fighting in the air, one smaller than the other, yet seeming to hold his own. Breaking away from each other, then both put their hands in front of them, then moved them to their sides, both saying the same thing. "Ka......me......ha.......me...." Blue energy appeared in both their hands, casting it's light over the area around them. "HA!" The both brought their hands forward, each releasing a blue beam that flew toward the other one, impacting and causing an explosion of blue light. When this cleared, both fighters were descending toward the ground, then standing next to each other panting. Son Goku looked down at his younger challenger, and, true to Vegeta's words, which coincidentally happened to be uttered at that same moment, grinned cheerfully down at Uub. "That was great! You sure have gotten alot stronger!"
Uub looked up at him and smiled also. "I'm still nowhere near as strong as you though!"
Goku grinned wider, putting his hand behind his head. "Don't worry! If you keep improving at this pace, you'll surpass me soon enough!"
Uub got a hopeful look at Goku's words. "Really? You really think so?"
"Of course I do! Have I ever lied to you before?"
"No. I'm just suprised that you'd say such a thing already!"
"Don't underestimate yourself! You were strong even before I started training you, so of course you'd improve a lot faster with training!" He beamed down at Uub, marveling that he could be an earthling yet be that strong. Even though he was the reincarnation of Buu, he still had a lot of natural fighting spirit.
"Thanks Goku! That really means a lot to me!"
"I'm only stating the truth! But for now, let's go get something to eat!" He gave another smile as his stomach rumbled.
"Sure Goku, that won't be a problem! I told my mother to fix a big meal for after our sparring match today, so there should be plenty of food!"
"Really?! Awesome! Let's go then!" Goku then took off into the air, leaving Uub to trail behind him as they headed back towards his home.
