Chapter 1:

Coming Home

17 years later...

"Man, are we really home?" asked Goten. "It's hard to believe that 17 years have passed." As Goten looked at the world in front of him, Uub was with him commenting on how peaceful the world looked. Trunks turned around from unloading everything and said, "I can't believe we're home again. It's been some time since we've seen our friends and family. Well I think that's about it for the spaceship."

"Hey Trunks," Goten asked. "Where's that big party you were talking about when we arrived???" "I think that he was a bit glued to the computer monitor in the spaceship talking to some cough girls cough." Uub said loudly. "Hey I was studying calculus!" Said Trunks defending himself" "Oh really?" "Well since when does the calculus program say "I love you" Trunks?" Goten was suddenly on the floor laughing like a maniac and Trunks turned to a shade of red. "Well I err.um...programmed it to say that. Trunks was getting quite nervous from all this interrogation, but Goten and Uub just simply said "surrrrrre."

"Kakkarot! Give me my rubber ducky before I pound you into the ground!" Vegeta yelled, powering up to ssj and chasing Goku around the spaceship. "As long as you give me my teddy bear back!" Goku said in a playful tone, also powering up to ssj.

"Do those two ever stop?" asked a confused Uub. " Heh, not really, unless you want to stop them." Trunks said thoughtfully. No thanks, I think I'm going to go with Goten and crash at his place," said Uub. Goten, Goku, and Uub went to Chi Chi's to go eat and sleep while Vegeta and Trunks went to Capsule Corp. to do the same. As Goten and Uub entered the house, Chi Chi got very excited and started cooking a celebration meal for them. "I'd like to spar with you later Uub, I want to test our power levels against each other since our last fight." Goten said, eating at the same time. "I think it will be good to know our max power levels."

"I heard you went up to ssj5 during the training session with Goku." Said Uub. "Well I can do that and a little more." Goten boasted. "But I'm more intrigued by your power and how far it goes." "Well I'm not sure, I haven't calculated it yet, but Vegeta got scared last year and ran away from our sparring match." Uub said between mouthfuls of rice and vegetables.

"I don't know about Trunks though, he seemed to get bored after a while, and spent most of the time in the spaceship learning Calculus and Chemistry or at least he says." "And I'm sure Goten has done all of his required homework on the computer right..Goten?" Chi Chi asked suspiciously. "Well ehehe.um..I kind of did all of it." Said Goten (The computer that they are talking about is a well computer that's basically an educational tool to learn but also does have a communication port where they can see and talk to their families, or whomever else.)

"Well that was a great dinner Chi Chi, I wish we had stuff like this when we were training." rushed Goku. Chi Chi got all starry-eyed and said, "I haven't gotten a comment like that since Gohan and Videl's wedding! After dinner, they all went to play some board games and watched some TV before they went to bed.

The next day Goten and Uub Went to use the gravity room at Capsule Corp. Luckily Vegeta wasn't there so they decided to start right away. "Ok Uub, we both know the rules: if you knock your opponent down, wait for him to get up, and no killing." "I remember Goten, just stop stalling, I know you're raising your ki level right there. Uub said. "Yea, but so are you." Goten said in defense. "I know, but lets go to our max to show each other so there won't be any surprises." Uub said.

"I want to go first, because I want to see your power more than mine." Uub said. As Uub got into stance, Goten waited for him in a Vegeta-style pose. Uub's power started coming out like crazy as Uub yelled and Goten had to power up to ssj2 to protect himself from it. As Uub's yell died down, his power was radiating from him. "Whoa" Goten thought. I think he maybe be more powerful than me. "It took five minutes for me to fully power up, let's see how long it takes you." Uub said, smirking.

"Alright, but be prepared to brace yourself." Goten said. Goten was yelling at the top of his lungs when his hair started to flair up from jet black to a golden yellow. Goten started going to ssj3, ssj4, ssj5 and then finally he maxed out right on the brink of ssj6. But strangely, Goten's hair wasn't long anymore, it was basically ssj2 but with a reddish tint to the hair. "Wow" thought Uub. I haven't seen anybody as strong as this before.

_________________________________________________________ Bra woke up with a start. She felt this amazing energy that was being pumped out of somebody, in fact she felt two of them. She though it might be Vegeta and Trunks sparring, but she wanted to go see who it was anyways, even if It wasn't them sparring. She hadn't seen her brother in a long time and was very happy that she was able to see him again.

But she had this strange reoccurring dream that haunted her every night. Her dream was about when she was 7 years old and she saw that black-haired boy that looked like Goku as he walked away from her. She always wondered what the dream meant, but always shook it off when she had other stuff to do. She put on a tank top and pants and walked to the gravity room where she saw some people training.

Bra heard a "Come on you can do better than that." And a "You missed, better luck next time." When she peeked inside she saw two guys battling it out, but they looked nothing like Vegeta and Trunks, but something caught her eye.

One of the boys looked like a more powerful version of a super saiyan, having longer hair and faster movement reactions. She had only gone to super saiyan before, but that was when she was training with Gohan and Pan. She waited and watched them go for about 10 more minutes and then heard an explosion. She saw the saiyan power down, and gasped. It was the same person from 17 years ago!

"Ya know Uub, you shouldn't really hold back until that last second." Goten said. "You had me almost off guard for a quarter of the match, and that would have meant everything." "Well.I was testing you." Said a very drained out Uub. "Sure." Chuckled Goten. "Well I'm going to go hit the showers and come back so we can have a rematch, and next time I won't be testing you." Uub smiled, and walked out of the gravity room.

Bra entered the gravity room and said hi to her mystery man. Goten in return said hi, but was looking at the machine. Bra asked shyly, "What are you looking at?" "Oh, just some of the buttons, I haven't been here in a long time." Replied Goten, still looking at the controls. "About 17 years I think." That last sentence stopped Bra, and she started to wonder if this guy really was the same person she met years ago.

Goten got curious and finally turned around to see who it was. "Wow." That was all he could think as he turned around, facing the person who seemed distantly familiar. "Hey, I sort of remember you." Replied Goten started to walk towards the guy's locker room. "You're Trunk's sister right?"

Bra was too preoccupied to answer that question as she was starring at his body. "Muscular chest, arms, and legs. What more could a girl want?" Bra thought. "I wouldn't mind going on a date with him one day." She sighed since all of the guys she had ever dated were either out for her money or her body. Either way, she was capable of defending herself and often did it when guys were constantly staring at her (which was most of the time.)

"Hello...hello?" Bra suddenly snapped out of her daydream and came face to face with the young saiyan, which made her blush. "My name's Goten, it's nice to meet you. Goten with a smile on his face." "Uh.yes well I'm Bra, nice to meet you too." "Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen a any girls, well it's almost like they didn't exist. Goten laughed quietly. "Well it's been fun meeting you Bra, but I'm going to hit the showers too and be on my way out, so.do you think we could hang out later?"

Goten knew he was saying things before he could think, but this girl was beyond beautiful. But, now he had a voice in his head always warning him about what Trunks might think, but more importantly what Vegeta might think.

Of course, Goten knew he could beat Vegeta in a match, but when Vegeta was angry, he would usually destroy everything in his path and would take no prisoners, this of course, included him. Goten shuddered at the thought of what might happen if Vegeta got word that Kakkarot's second brat was falling for his daughter. While her was thinking he almost didn't catch Bra's answer to his question.

"Ok, we can hang out later, just come over here at 3 p.m. and I'll be ready to go. "Fine then, it's a date." Goten responded quickly. Both of them quickly turned away then turned back trying to hide the blush out of what he just said. "Well anyways, I'll see you later then Bra." Goten didn't get an answer since Bra was too busy staring at his backside to notice anything.

Ok I'm finished with the chapter guys. Please review. (Sounds creative, right?)
