Note: The following is a rough outline of what was to happen in this chapter. I apologise for not being able to write the full chapter as intended, however, life has proven hectic and along with my plans to start writing original stories, I don't have the time needed to finish all my stories. I didn't want to leave them abandoned, so I decided to give a rough outline of the story's events so that you could see how it would have progressed and ended. I hope that you understand. Maybe one day I might come back and fully finish them as intended, but as that's up in the air, I thought that I'd end things this way rather than leave unfinished. Thank you for your time.
Chapter 4 (Rough Outline)
Before Gohan and Videl had even set all of the food on the table, Goku was feasting like there was no tomorrow. As he chowed down on every meal laid out in front of them, he told them about Jaco's offer for Goten and Trunks to join the Galactic Patrol and how they have all been invited to witness the initiation ceremony.
Not wanting to pass on an opportunity to see his little brother in the spotlight, Gohan is more than happy to come along. Although he is hesitant about letting Videl come, he finds her already calling her father to let him know that she'll be going and asks if he and Buu can look after Pan for them. Mister Satan is more than happy to watch over his granddaughter, but warns Videl about the perils of space, emphasising how dangerous it is as he's been on multiple occasions. With Pan's guardian sorted and their meals finished, Goku is quick to teleport Pan to Mister Satan and Buu before he takes Gohan and Videl with them back to Capsule Corp.
Once there, they find many of their friends have already come to prepare for the event, including Krillin, Eighteen, Marron, Piccolo, Roshi, Tien, Yamcha and Chiaotzu. It's a time of eager anticipation amongst the group, though there is also some doubt on whether all of them can even come along as they can't see a ship big enough to take them all. But, Bulma assures them that she's always prepared and has something up her sleeve. She pops open a capsule to reveal a modified version of the ship Goku used to take to Namek so many years ago. Everyone marvels at the ship's increased scale. Even Jaco is impressed by the craftsmanship, though he isn't quick to admit it.
''Well, I do stress that it is an unfair comparison between Bulma and the rest of the human race.'' He stressed, folding his arms across his chest.
Bulma smirked and elbowed him playfully. ''That's probably the best complimentary insult I've ever…''
Before she can finish her sentence, she suddenly is overcome with sickness. She rushes to the nearest bush and pukes up her lunch whilst everyone else watches on in confusion. Vegeta and Trunks dash towards her, worried for her health and asking her what's wrong. Bulma dismisses their concern, stating that she's overworked and nothing more. Despite this, Vegeta insists that Bulma stay behind as she's in no condition to pilot the ship into space. Bulma holds her hands to her hips and questions if anyone else can fly in her place.
Everyone goes into the ship, expecting the controls to be a breeze. But, Goku is quick to notice the interior of the ship is vastly different, with many luxuries fit for a group of friends travelling across the stars together and no longer a place for intense training. The moment he tries to steer the ship using his knowledge from before, he almost sets the ship on a collision course with the nearby buildings. Smugly, Bulma takes the lead and announces herself as the pilot of the ship, stating that her sickness will not be an issue. With everyone else distracted, double-checking if they have everything for the trip, Chi-Chi inquires Bulma about her sickness. Bulma could practically see the bulb above Chi-Chi's head when the woman realises what's going on.
Bulma presses her finger on her lips to silence her friend. ''I haven't told Vegeta yet, and I want to wait until after we're back. I don't want to take anything away from Trunks. Let this be his and Goten's day.''
''My lips are sealed,'' Chi-Chi promised.
Just as the group prepare to set off, they are startled by the sudden appearance of Beerus and Whis. It slipped Bulma's mind that the two would be visiting to try a new Earth dish that she would prepare. They quickly explain to the deities what's going on and while Beerus is annoyed at the development, Whis quells the God's frustration by confirming with Jaco that there will be a banquet at the initiation ceremony. Twisting Jaco's words, Beerus and Whis have now found themselves invited to tag along.
Jaco sighed. ''I was supposed to return with two, now I'm arriving with almost two dozen. I feel like a rabbit in season.''
Marron tugs on her mother's sleeve. ''Mummy, what does the funny man mean by that?''
''Ask your father.'' Eighteen replied.
Krillin is spared the blushes and explanation as Beerus demands everyone board the ship so that they can get to the banquet quicker. Everyone is quick to follow his order. However, Goku stalls when he hears King Kai trying to contact him.
''I won't repeat myself, Goku!'' Beerus yelled.
Goku gulped. ''Sorry, King Kai, we'll talk later. I promise.'' He hurries inside the ship, giving King Kai no time to speak.
Once everyone was inside, Bulma starts the ship and the group set a course for the main headquarters of the Galactic Patrol.
