Crazy trouble with love part 9

Vados and Goku part 3

xxxxxxxxxxxx

Goku yawned as he sat on a plush recliner. "I'm bored…" He stared up at the ceiling of the large dwelling, not bothering to count the small cracks in it since he had already done that eighty times before. "Boring… why did everyone want to wish to be immortal, it's so boring!"

"Would you like me to find something to entertain you?" Asked Vados off to the side with a smile.

"Yes please." he said with a smile as she nodded.

"As you wish." She tapped her staff as it glowed before several odd looking objects appeared before Goku. "These are toys several species consider helpful to strengthen and enhance their mind."

"You mean, like riddles?"

"To a point, yes." She said with a nod. "I think they will sufficiently entertain you for a bit."

"Thanks." He sat up and grabbed one, looking like a cube with several parts of it glowing and sticking out. He pushed one part down, only for another part to pop up and glow. He went and did the same to that part, but then another part came up again. "Ok, this one might be tricky."

"I'm sure you'll get it in no time."

(6 hours later)

"Ok, I got you now." He grinned as he pushed two parts down at once, only for nearly the whole thing to pop open and glow. "Shoot!"

"Do you need help Goku-sama?"

"No no, I gotta do it myself." He growled as he started pushing down the parts. "Come on, I got this!"

"If you say so."

(12 hours later)

Goku looked at the cube in irritation since right now it had one glowing part sticking out now, which meant as soon as he pushed it down, two more would pop up. "Stay down… Don't you dae pop up." he muttered before slowly reaching down to it. "Don't pop up...don't pop up…"

Pop pop pop

"DAMN IT!" He shouted as he grabbed the cube, accidentally crushing it. "Aw man! I almost had it!"

"Of course Goku-sama." Vados said with a smile. 'Should I tell him it was a trick toy, that there is no known solution to it?'

"Ugh, maybe I'll win with one of these other ones." He groaned as he looked at the other toys floating in the air.

"Perhaps, but first is there anything else you would like to do?"

"Well….I could train, but I think it's starting to get stale, and I thought I'd never say that." he admitted looking up. "I mean, it's getting to the point where just looking at someone is enough to beat them. I miss the old days when I actually worked up a sweat and got hurt."

"I'm afraid those days are mostly gone, the only ones who can challenge you now are other gods of destruction."

"I know, man do I wish I could fight them." he grumbled. "But I already know that won't work."

"Yes, most don't really train anymore, and it is forbidden for gods of destruction to fight."

"I wonder if this is what Frieza would feel like if he had become immortal." Goku mused, reminiscing his old foe.

"If you want you could visit him, we could take a trip to your old universe?"

"Do we have a schedule coming up?"

"No, you've destroyed several planets last month, we shouldn't need to do anything else for around a year or so." Vados said with a smile.

"Then let's go!" He smiled standing up with eager. "I can't wait to see how everyone's doing."

"Everyone?" Vados asked as she began to get a sinking feeling. 'Has he realized how much time has passed?'

"I wonder if Gohan's been keeping up with his training. Or even better, maybe Pan's grown all up? Her grandpa could really give her some tips." He smiled with the angel moving over as he put his hand on her shoulder. "Alright Vados, take us to earth!"

"Yes Goku-sama...before we go, may I ask you something?"

"Sure thing."

"Do you know what year it is?" She asked as he paused.

"Hmmm… nope, I guess it's been awhile since I saw a calendar, we can ask Krillin when we see him."

"Uh...yes, we could." She looked away as she glowed before they vanished from the spot. 'I fear this will not be the trip he is expecting.'

(At earth)

The two reappeared in the middle of a wasteland, albeit one that actually has more vegetation than usual with Goku stretching out his arms.

"Alright, this is gonna be great."

"Uh, Goku-sama, perhaps we could take a moment and take in the scenery." Vados said, trying to stay calm.

"Huh? Ok, sure, where are we anyway?"

"This spot is several miles away from the city Capsule Corp is located, but don't you notice something different about it?"

"Mmmm, not really, all the wastelands kinda blend together, ya know?"

"Doesn't it look a bit more colorful?"

"Huh, I guess it does, neat." He said as he looked at the plants. "Bulma must have made something to make plants grow here pretty quick."

"Or it could have happened on it's own. Nature does have a tendency to grow plant life quickly over a long span of time." remarked Vados trying to lend a hint.

"Hmm, well I guess it could… hey, you said we were near Capsule Corp, let's go see Bulma and Vegeta and Trunks and… ah, what's their daughter's name again?"

"Bra."

"Yeah! Boy I'll bet she's grown up to look just like her mom. I wonder if she has her personality of Vegeta's. I sure don't wanna be Vegeta if she brings home a boy." He chuckled with Vados feeling awful hearing that. "Let's go."

"Yes Goku-sama." she said as he took off into the air and began to fly towards the city. 'Please forgive me for not telling you.'

Goku looked around and sensed numerous ki signatures from the east and took off with Vados behind. "Man there seems to be a lot more people than I remembered living in the city, was there a population boom or something?"

"Well you could say that, it has been a while." Vados said as they got closer to the city and Goku began to see massive skyscrapers and towers, larger than any he'd seen before on earth.

"Woah!" he spoke in amazement, numerous flying cars zooming around the place as he stopped and saw the city looked three times bigger than before. "This is….different." He said as he kept flying, slowing down as he started to reach the Capsule Corp headquarters before he spotted a large statue in front of it. "What the…"

"Goku-sama, I have to tell you something." Vados said as he paused, staring at a massive Granite statue of Bulma. "It's been four hundred years since you last visited earth."

Goku looked at her in shock and then back at the statue of Bulma, floating down on the ground to look up at it with a plack under it that read 'Bulma Briefs, Former CEO of Capsule Corp, and the beginning of Neo West City, may her legacy live on in it's people'. He touched it and looked at Bulma's smiling face. "You mean…"

"They're gone, they've all passed on… or at least most of them have." She said as his eyes began to water.

"My friends...my family….everyone…" He closed his eyes as the tears ran down his cheeks as Vados moved over and rubbed his back. "Vados? I have to know something. Did….Did they at least go in peace?"

"Give me a moment to check Goku-sama." She said as she stared at her staff, a flurry of information assaulting her before she sighed. "Yes, they all did except three. Vegeta decided he wanted to die like a 'True Saiyan' and challenged Beerus to a battle of the death, and I don't have any record of Androids 18 or 17 dying."

Goku sniffed and wiped the tears away before turning to her. "Then they must still be around."

"I would assume so, would you like to see them?"

"Yeah, I need to." He said as she held up their staff and they disappeared in a flash of light.

A moment later they reappeared and Goku let out a small gasp as he recognized where they were. "Kame house."

"That is correct." Remarked the angel as they looked at the pink home, albeit looking refurbished with more trees, but nonetheless looking the same.

Goku gulped and moved over to the door, feeling a knot in his stomach before giving a knock on it.

"Go away." Called a familiar voice, making him pause.

"18...it's me, Goku."

It was silent before he heard footsteps coming to the door. "I said go away whoever you are or I'll throw you in the ocean!"

"18, it's really me." He called as the door began to open.

"I warned you assh-" 18 abruptl stopped, wide eyed at seeing Goku stand there, the android looking relatively the same as before, albeit with her hair looking more grayish but still looking blond, wrinkles on her face, but not like an old lady. She wore a normal purple t-shirt with blue jeans on and looked like she was staring at a ghost. "G...G...Goku?"

"Yeah...hi." he said, unable to say anything else. "It's been awhile, huh?"

She just stared at him before shaking her head and let out a sigh. "I'm either falling apart and seeing things, or it's the real you."

"It's me." He said as she let out a sigh, before her arm was a blur and he felt something hit him on the cheek, barely phasing him. "Huh?"

"Yep, you're real." She remarked, pulling it back and put her hands on her hips. "And still looking young? Wish I had your secret." She joked with a smile.

"The secret is immortality and godhood." he joked.

"Yeah, well that old bastard Gero had one last way of fucking up my life, I'm 90% robot, all the important bits inside me are robotic, so I can't really die." She turned and walked inside. "Come on in, I'll go let 17 know you're here."

"Cool, thanks." he said as he and Vados walked in, looking around the house to see it looking more or less the same, except for a few spots that looked worn, as if pictures had hung there for many years before being taken down.

"How quaint." Remarked Vados as 18 looked up the stairs.

"Hey 17! Get your butt down here!"

"I told you I'm busy!"

"You can get off the phone for 10 minutes! Goku's down here!"

"Bullshit!"

"It's true, now hurry!" She called as she turned back to Goku. "So, not that I don't mind the visit, but why are you here, why now?"

"Well, truth is, I was bored." He admitted rubbing the back of his head. "Honestly, I had no idea that much time went by."

"I'm guessing you didn't bother to wear a watch."

"Time is weird, and being immortal doesn't help." he groaned.

"So… there's no end of the world event, no galactic dictator, no insanity, you just wanted to visit?" 18 asked carefully.

"Nope, none of that."

"Shame, with how things have been that might have helped spice things up." She remarked as her brother came down the stairs.

"Well I'll be damned, you're still alive?" questioned 17, his hair looking more gray than 18's, wearing his signature orange ascot, but with a white t-shirt with a winking woman on it and a pair of orange shorts along with some wrinkles on his own face. "Guess you win the bet sis."

"Oh shut up." She said as she rolled her eyes before looking Goku up and down. "So… you said you're a god right, that you can do anything and people have to listen?"

"Well….in a way. My main job is blowing up planets to try and keep balance with the whole universe, which kinda makes weird sense if you're new to it, but after some time it clicks and then it makes a whole lot more sense. I have had people listen to me if I was hungry."

"And the occasional cult." chimed in Vados.

"Oh yeah, those guys can get really annoying." he said with a groan.

"I see...Goku, I was wondering if you could do me a favor."

"What sort of favor?"

"I want you to send me to the afterlife, or wherever Krillin is." She said with a sigh. "I'm mostly a machine, and I checked and tried to get in, so I won't go down there when I die, but if you can get me in…"

"...what?" He looked at her with wide eyes in shock. "You...want me to….kill you?"

"More like help me get into heaven or wherever Krillin is, but yes." She said with a sigh. "Goku, I've outlived my husband, my daughter, and her grandchildren, I don't want to spend the rest of time rotting away in this house."

He looked at her in silence before turning to 17. "Do you feel the same?"

"Kinda, all I have left is 18, and they automated being a park ranger so I don't have much left here for me either." He said with a shrug.

He looked between the two androids and clenched his hands, closing his eyes hearing this, feeling more pressure on him than before he became a god before his eyes shot open in realization. "That's it!"

"What?"

"I just remembered something!" he closed his eyes and tried to reach out with his senses. 'King Kai? Can you hear me? It's me, Goku.'

'Huh? Goku?! Is that you?!'

'Yep, it's me, how ya doing?'

'I should be asking you that! You go off and become a god of destruction out of the blue without warning or telling me! Do you have any idea how shocked I was? I thought I was gonna die again!'

'Yeah, sorry about that, but if it helps I've been really good at my job, Vados helps me!'

'Well it's good to hear you haven't changed as much. I was worried you'd turn into something completely different, like a second Beerus. Uh, don't say I said that to him.'

'I won't, anyway, there's something I want to talk to you about.'

'Sure, what is it?'

'Well, I just now found out that all my friends have passed on, so I'm talking with 17 and 18 who say they wanna go to heaven, like with Krillin and the others. Is there any chance that's possible? I know they're androids and it might be hard, but-'

'Of course it's possible.'

'Really? Then why haven't they passed on and gone there yet?'

'Well I would think it's the mechanical part of them keeping them going. Once that's gone, they'll pass on like anyone else. Just because they're part machine doesn't mean it's impossible, just ask their friend?'

'Friend? Who's that?'

'Oh I think you know him. Bit of a big guy, red hair, and has a crazy obsession with birds let me tell you.'

'Oh, 16? But if he's there then when did they start thinking they couldn't pass on?'

'Oh, that was when they visited King Yenma, you see while it's possible it causes him a ton of paperwork, so I think he lied to them to avoid it.'

'So they can pass on, that's great!'

'You bet. They might even be able to join me in the next Other World Tournament, I've heard they pack quite the punch if what the others told me is true.'

'Speaking of the others, how have they been? Are they doing alright? Are they angry with my choice?' He asked with a worried tone.

'You kidding? They've been amazing! When they got here and trained they were unstoppable! They've managed to surpass their limits like never before, especially your sons, boy let me tell you, they're huge stars over here.'

'Really? That's great! I'm so glad.' he thought as he let out a sigh. 'We'll have to catch up again later, for now I have to tell 17 and 18 the good news.'

'Ok, but I'd ask them what happened after you left in case you're curious.'

'Oh, good call thanks!' He thought before ending the connection and cleared his throat. "Good news, I just learned from King Kai that you two CAN make it to the after life no problem."

"Wait, WHAT?!" 18 shouted in shock. "Since when?!"

"Seems like forever."

"But we were told something completely different!"

"Yeah, King Yenma lied so he didn't have to do the paperwork." He said with a shrug. "So, what happened while I was gone?"

Both androids looked pissed, but 17 managed to reign it in and sighed.

"Ignoring that for later, why don't we show you instead of telling you?"

"Sure, sounds good."

All of them walked out of the house before powering up as the twins went flying off, Goku and Vados following behind.

"Where are we going Goku-sama?"

"I don't really know myself." He said with a shrug. "18, where are we going exactly?"

"Oh you'll find out." She replied with a smile as the trip took longer than expected, probably due to 18 and 17's weaker bodies with them reaching West City again, but this time the twins landed down in front of a big blue building that also had some chinese architecture to it.

"What is this place?"

"The police station." replied 18 before she and 17 walked inside, Goku and Vados following. When they got inside though, Goku's eyes widened when he saw a large statue of what looked like Krillin, but with a beard and mustache combo, but also clad in a police chief's uniform with the kanji for turtle on the front of it.

"Woah, Krillin really grew. This statue must be life sized."

"Actually it was enlarged a little in his honor." Remarked 17. "He was actually a few inches shorter."

"Really? Wow, definitely Krillin." Smiled Goku as 18 walked up to the statue with a fond look in her eyes. "What happened to him?"

"After you left, he took his job as an officer seriously. He dedicated the rest of his life to not just making sure the city was safe, but me and Marron, but when he got older and realized he wouldn't be around forever, he wanted to leave behind something. So he decided to implement the same training you two went through as part of the police force so they could keep it safe for the rest of time. As much as I hate to admit it, that perv you call a teacher did have some good points."

"No way. You mean everyone here goes through the same kind of training?" Asked Goku in amazement.

"Yep, it's pretty amazing, huh?"

"Boy, if Master Roshi could see this."

"The old coot was really sad when he passed on." Revealed 17. "I think that, plus you going off actually got him to chill on ogling ladies, he even stopped ogling 18 here."

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah, though her also kicking his ass definitely helped too."

"Alright, before we get off track, we've got other places to be." spoke up 18 before they left the station. "We won't have to get far, it's here in the city."

"Where are we going?"

"To Yamcha's favorite place before he passed."

Goku held his chin and tried to think about it as they followed the twins. 'Hmm, now what could that be again?' He pondered that until they reached a massive stadium, and in front was a large bronze statue of Yamcha, except unlike Krillin he looked much, much older.

"He may have been the weakest fighter of the group, but his training paid off, even when he was reaching sixty he could play better than anyone else in baseball."

"It never got old when the coaches got mad. They made more noise than the fans." Smirked 17. "Kept going on how he was using some weird steroids, but he always showed he didn't need drugs to kick their butts in a game."

"Yep, in fact he kept playing until he passed, and by then he had quite the fanbase."

"He had girls throwing themselves at him all the time, even went home with two or three every night." Chuckled 17. "He made Roshi so jealous."

"Boy, that must have been real fun." Smiled Goku with Vados getting a teasing idea in mind and closed her eyes.

"I suppose so, if you compare it to the time we've spent together alone Goku-sama."

"Oh, you didn't tell me you were having fun as a god Goku." 17 teased with a grin.

"Uh, well I guess you could say that." he chuckled bashfully.

"Oh? You guess? I'm hurt Goku-sama." Vados mocked sounding hurt turning away. "And I thought bathing together was rather forward."

"I guess you took Roshi afterall, huh Goku?" 18 said with a deadpan.

"Huh? W-Wait! It's not like that!" He cried out with his hands up and wide eyed.

"Whatever loverboy, come on, we got several more stops."

Goku opened his mouth to protest, but 18 and 17 took off flying making him close it and sigh while Vados smiled. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"I don't know what you mean Goku-sama, I was just giving them an idea on what has happened between us, is there something wrong?"

"I… no, just….ack, you know that I'm not good at explaining this kinda stuff." He frowned before they followed after the twins.

"Of course, Goku-sama." She said with a smile.

(Later)

It took about an hour, and Goku had learned so much about everyone.

How Piccolo had passed on with Dende growing on and passing down the mantle of guardian of the earth, which was still going on to this day. And how Tien's dojo had flourished and was still going on stronger than ever. Trunks' family was still in charge of capsule corp, but the thing he was really looking forward to involved Gohan, something that involved them flying far off towards his old home in the mountains. As he and the twins got closer, he began to feel nervous, wondering what was awaiting him, was he only going to find old tombstones and a crumbling home, or was there simply a statue in the wilderness?

But as they got closer, Goku spotted a simple home, larger than what his old home was like, but it was abandoned. But a huge part that stood out was an archway set up in front of it. When they landed he looked around and felt more sad.

"So, this is it?"

"We know, it's not much to look at now, but it's what's inside that you're gonna wanna see." smiled 17. "Relax, it'll cheer you up."

"If you say so…" he braced himself as 18 opened the door. They walked inside and like the outside the inside was dusty, abandoned with cobwebs, but near the far wall was surprisingly what looked like a shrine on a pedestal. He noticed it seemed familiar and made his way over, seeing a drawer under it slightly opened and slid it open all the way, finding a letter inside.

"What is it Goku-sama?" asked Vados as Goku picked it up.

"I don't know." he held it up close and skimmed it, his eyes slowly widening from the words.

'Dad, if you've gotten this letter, it means you came back and we're not around. There's so many things I want to tell you, to ask you what's happened, the things that have changed, but it's better if I'm brief. Inside this drawer are two things I want you to have to remember us by. I can't imagine being a god is all that great, but maybe these will keep you up in spirits.

Signed, Son Gohan, son of the strongest man on earth.

PS, there's someone who's gonna want a rematch with you'

Goku looked in the drawer and picked up a piece of paper facing down, and when he turned it over he felt tears come up. It showed an older Gohan and Videl, smiling at the camera with all their friends around them, Chi-Chi and Hercule there too and looking proud. And there in the center was a grown woman with long black hair, in the same orange gi he use to wear with her fists up and smile, looking ready for a fight as she looked at the camera. "Wow, little Pan….she's all grown up…."

"Yeah, she sure did, she was just like her grandpa too." 18 said with a smile. "Always training, you two would have gotten along well."

"She got her mom's fiery attitude too, always ready to fight any guy who looked at her wrong." Chuckled 17. "It was like looking at a younger Chi-Chi who could knock you into space."

"Wow…" Was all he could say as his eyes began to water. "I'm so proud of her." He smiled before Vados noticed something rolling out from the drawer.

"Goku-sama."

Goku saw her pointing and looked back in the drawer, reached in, and pulled out a dragon ball.

With four stars on it.

He smiled and wiped the tears away as he held up the items. "I think Gohan is right, I'm definitely bringing these back."

"Sounds good." 18 said with a nod as 17 began to crack up.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just imagining the poor schmuck who tries to find all seven to make a wish, never knowing the seventh is in a different universe."

"Not like we'll need them, this place is so much stronger I don't think we'll need them." shrugged 18. "So Goku, about what we said."

"Oh! Right, my bad." he chuckled bashfully. "I remember, I'll send you two on your way."

"Thanks man, we'll tell everyone you said hello, and hey, name a kid after me!" 17 laughed as he gestured to Vados.

Vados giggled with Goku gawking and shaking his head. "Oh my, we'll certainly try."

"Hey wait! Don't jump that far ahead! W-W-We haven't even gone THAT far!"

"So you're taking your time." 18 said with a nod. "At least you're not completely like Roshi, but take it from a woman who's waited centuries, we get impatient, and I know what I'm gonna do when I see Krillin again~"

Goku tried to explain it, but he was speechless and groaned with a sweatdrop as Vados giggled.

(Later)

Goku and Vados were currently back on their way home, Goku making sure his souvenirs were held in place with his clothing as he looked out in space.

"It sure felt weird. Honestly the first time I thought I'd fight those two, it was gonna be when I had to deal with that heart virus."

"Well, things change Goku-sama." Spoke Vados without turning her head. "At least now they are truly at peace."

"Yeah…" he said, his mind racing as he thought of everything he had seen. "Vados… can I ask you a question?"

"Of course Goku-sama."

"I was thinking…. And this isn't an order from the god of chaos or anything like that, but… would you be opposed to I dunno… making ourselves official?"

"Oh? Why whatever do you mean?" She asked, feigning ignorance.

"Well, um… ya know after everything I saw, I was wondering if you wanted to… get married?"

"Oh? Marriage? May I ask what brought this inquiry?" She asked, hiding a smile.

"Well, my whole life I enjoyed being around those I cared about. It gave me a strong reason to keep on fighting and being the best. Sure the thrill was there, but making sure everyone was safe played a big part. I wanna have someone I care about there beside me so it doesn't feel like I'm a….what's the word?"

"Lonely powerhouse?"

"Yeah that! But it's mostly being lonely." He said with a sigh. "And I guess I'm a bit nostalgic but.. I'd really like to have a family again."

"Are you sure that's ok? You'd be stuck with me for quite a while." She admitted while trying not to giggle. "And I can be quite the handful if you stare at other women."

"Ah come on, you know I don't do that, I'm not Master Roshi." He groaned before Vados couldn't hold it in and started to laugh. "What? I'm not! Really!"

"I know Goku-sama, I know, it's just I've been waiting for you to ask me for a hundred years."

"Wait….what?!" He cried out in shock. "Y-You, but I...what...why?!"

"I wanted to see when you'd make the attempt, or even if you were going to ask me." She said with a smile. "I was going to wait another hundred years before I started dropping hints, but I'm glad you asked me now."

He looked at her with wide eyes, right as they came back onto the planet, and shook his head. "So, does that mean you-"

"Yes Goku-sama, I would be thrilled to marry you and start a family with you."

"Really?"

"Of course, if you want we can have the ceremony now, I have prepared everything twenty five years ago."

"Wow, you really out thought into this."

"Yes, yes I have Goku-sama, you could say I've wanted this for a long time." She smiled before tapping her staff which made it glow and caused an altar to show with flowers arranged around it. "Now then, do you take me to be your wife Goku-sama?"

"Oh! Yeah, I do." He said with a nod. 'Wow, this is a lot easier to do than I remembered.'

"I Vados, take you as my husband, you may kiss the bride~" She smiled closing her eyes and leaning in with Goku trying to do the same, double checking to make sure he didn't slip up. As their lips met she leaned in a bit more, feeling very satisfied. 'Finally, I thought he would never ask.'

Slowly the kiss ended and they pulled back with Goku smiling.

"Wow, so that's what it feels to kiss at a wedding."

"Yes Goku-sama, shall we start the honeymoon now?"

"Yeah!"

"Excellent~" She said with a grin as she tapped her staff on the floor, making their clothes disappear and a large plush bed appear in front of them. "Let us begin Goku-sama~"

He stared at her naked form as she walked over to the bed with a shake of her hips and put the staff down, laying back on the bed while giving him a seductive look.

"Come Goku-sama, let us begin making a family~"

(Timeskip)

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Goku-sama! You're insatiable today!" Vados moaned. "This is the fifth time!"

"Sorry, but I got the extra energy to spare! Gotta burn it somehow!"

The whole planet was shaking and looked ready to go flying right out of its own atmosphere as all that was heard was grunts and moans.

"Oh! I'm almost there!"

"Me too!"

The planet shook even faster until there was a loud cry before it slowly went still, Goku and Vados panting, naked, and in their bed as they tried to catch their breath.

"Ha...ha...ha… yes, I love it when you're like this, but we should go home soon Goku-sama~"

"Ah...ah...ah….yeah, you might be right." He said with a pant. "I guess we should get back to the kids, huh?"

"If not they might get fussy, and you know what that means."

"Yeah, I guess we better hurry, huh?"

With that the two of them got their clothes back on before Vados transferred them back on home. They blinked out of existence for a brief moment before reappearing before a massive, yet cosy looking home.

"I hope they didn't get scared." spoke Goku with concern. "Maybe-"

"FATHER!"

"Father is home!"

He turned and found himself barreled over, with enough force to actually make him go skidding backwards on his feet, but he managed to keep himself steady as he caught two small figures and chuckled.

"Boy, you two sure missed us."

"We thought you left forever!" Cried the first figure, a small blue skinned boy who's white hair was styled to look very similar to Goku's, and was wearing an orange version of what Whis usually wore.

"Yeah! Where'd you go?" Asked the second one, a blue skinned girl with hair like her mom's, but undone and draping down her back and shoulders with a normal karate gi colored green with the kanji for turtle on the back of it.

"I uh… went to destroy a world?" Goku said with a nervous chuckle.

"What?! Why didn't you bring us with? We wanna destroy a world!"

"You two are too young for that right now." Vados chuckled. "Besides, you still have a long way to go with your training, and even then you'd have to get grandpa's permission before you go off and do what your father does, there's a balance to be kept after all."

"Aw…." The two groaned dejectedly.

"Hey, hey, what's with the frowns, perk up, how about we have some fun, huh?"

"Like what?"

"Like… hide and seek!" Smiled Goku with them perking up. "You two hide, and I'll come find you."

"Ok!" The boy said as the girl pouted.

"But that's boring, I wanna spend more time with you!"

"Now now, I think it's a good idea." smiled Vados. "You could help your father find your brother?"

"Nuh uh!" the boy said with a pout. "That's not fair!"

"Well, what about tag?"
