--Hospital--
"Oh, Papa!" Pan nearly shouted.
"What is it, Pan?" Gohan said, looking over to her.
"You won't be able to come to the party!"
"What party?" He questioned.
"The one Bulma's having tomarrow! Remember?"
"Oh! Well, I guess I'll have to miss it."
Pan sighed. "But Papa... everyone is gonna be there!"
"Everyone?" Cell spoke up.
"Yep. Everyone." Pan said.
"So even Frieza and Buu will be there?"
"Should be. Why?"
"Eh, just wondering. Just hope me and Frieza's bickering don't ruin it all." He said with a smirk.
Pan slapped him on the head. "Better not!" Cell only chuckled.
"Well, guys, we better get home. Its getting late." Videl said, getting up from her seat.
"But what about Papa?" Pan said.
"He'll be fine. Don't worry."
"And you can't be down... you gotta have fun tomarrow." Gohan said, smiling.
"Alright, Papa. Love you!" Pan hugged her father and waved goodbye as they exited the hospital.
They flew home, ready for a night's rest.
Videl retreated to her room as soon as they got home. She changed into her nightgown and took the tie from her hair. She laid in bed and started to cry.
"Oh Gohan... please be alright..." she mumbled. She knew he would be fine, but there was always that lingering worry.
Pan and Cell went to their own rooms, but stopped at the threshold. Cell hugged her.
"He'll be alright..." He said.
"I know. Thanks for all this... you seem nothing like the Cell they've told me about." Pan said, returning the hug.
"Its weird. I feel... different... I don't know why, but..."
"I don't need an explaination." Pan broke away from the hug and kissed him. "Good night..." She said as she went into her room. Cell smiled slightly as he went into his own. What a day this was.
--Goku's House--
Frieza sat on the couch, his frown deepening as Goku swayed back and forth in front of the TV, singing the Sesame Street Theme.
"Ugh... could you stop, monkey?! Your getting on my nerves!!!" Frieza shouted.
"But..." Goku said, looking back with puppy-dog eyes.
"But nothing!!" Frieza's eyes pierced into his, making Goku draw away from the TV.
"Your mean!"
"I know." Frieza turned back to the TV and changed the channel immediately. It happened to be news.
"Today, in Satan City, a man was said to be flying up through the center of the mall, carrying a woman named Kimiko Juragi, employee of Burger King. The skylight has been shattered, and here are what some witnesses say...." The newsman said. A man appeared on the screen.
"This white and purple haired kid zoomed up the center of the mall, with this hot chick in his arms! As he passed each floor, you just knew he was really flyin cuz the wind would simply knock ya down! As he reached the top, he put out his hand, like this," the guy said, holding out his hand, "and this red ball of fire shot out and broke the glass. Next thing ya knew, you'd look up and see em hoverin above ya! But then... this dude with crazy black hair appeared and as soon as he got there, he disappeared with the other two!"
The newsman then reappeared on the screen and said, "To find other witness' comments, you can go to our website, But now, an interview with our very own champion, Hercule!"
"Just what do you think about what happened at the mall earlier this evening?" Rang in Martha Stewart's voice.
"Well, Just like with Cell, He must've been using tricks! You can't fly!" Hercule said, crossing his arms.
"But the witnesses claim the wind from it blew them back."
"No way... their minds are just playing tricks on them." He said, still aware that people really could fly. He'd witnessed it many times. But, he couldn't admit it, or everyone would think he was crazy! He'd be ruined.
"Well, alright... Back to you, Shikuro." Martha said. Shikuro(the newsman) came back on the screen.
"And now I'm here live with Kimiko Juragi, and she looks pretty angry. What do you have to say, Kimiko?" Shikuro said, putting the mic up to her face.
"IF YOU EVER SEE THAT JERK AGAIN, TELL ME AND I'LL BEAT HIM UP, PERSONALLY!! Plus, I'm sure if you pour some liquid onto that necklace thing he wears, you'll see what he really is!!" Kimiko yelled, making Shikuro and everyone else around them shrink away."
"Well, you heard it folks. Here's a sketch of him. If you know where he is, please tell us. The mall owner says he's the one that needs to pay for the new window, and until its repaired, the mall will be closed. Onto another matter..." said Shikuro, ending that story.
Frieza gritted his teeth as Kimiko's words played over in his mind.
"Little bitch..." He muttered, his nails digging into his flesh, drawing blood.
"Goku!!" Chichi yelled, popping her head into the living room.
"Y-yes...?" Goku said, looking over.
"Get to bed! We gotta be up early to go to Bulma's for the party!"
"Oh yeah... one more stop, though, please? We gotta get Frieza's collar repaired..." Goku said.
"Well alright... but hurry up, or no breakfast!!" Chichi yelled.
"Be back soon!" Goku said as he instant transmissioned him and Frieza to Otherworld.
--Hell--
"How are we gonna get out of Hell?" Recoome questioned.
"Well, we're just gonna have to find a way out!" Ginyu said.
"Wasn't there a tunnel to Yama's office somewhere?" Jeice said.
"Yeah, but its guarded." Burter said.
"Then why can't we just-- beat them up?"
"Good point."
"Alright! Let's get out of here! C'mon guys!" Ginyu proclaimed, leading the way.
"Uh... sir... the tunnel's this way." Guldo said, pointing in the opposite direction.
"Oh, right. ONWARD!!" Ginyu turned around and walked to the tunnel. Once to the entrance, they went inside and soon found themselves in Yama's office. Suprisingly, there were no guards. Must've been on coffee break.
--Yama's Office--
Goku and Frieza appeared in front of Yama. Yama almost fell back out of his chair.
"Hey! Don't do that! What are you two doing here, anyway?" Yama said, regaining the balance on his chair.
"Well, the collar-- broke." Goku said innocently.
"BECAUSE YOUR THE ONE WHO BROKE IT, MONKEY!!" Frieza yelled.
"Hold on hold on... The collar looks fine to me." Yama said.
"He poured pop on it and it disabled my human form..." Frieza said, glaring at the smiling monkeyman.
"Goku!" Bellowed Yama's voice. Goku fell back. "You can't be messing around like that! You have to be careful!" Yama snapped. He held out his hand and the collardisappeared from Frieza's neck and reapearredinYama'shand. "I won't repair it again, so you better not do anything stupid."
"Yes sir! I'm sorry!" Goku said. The collar reappeared on Frieza, nice and clean, not sticky or anything from the pop.
The Ginyu force stared long and hard as the three talked.
"Is that Master Frieza?" Jeice said.
"Yes! And he's with Goku!" Recoome said.
"I told you! But why are they here?" Guldo pondered.
Ginyu thought for a moment. "Well, it seems to be something to do with that collar." He pointed.
"I wonder what it's for." Burter said.
"Maybe it turns him into one of those nasty humans!!" Jeice screamed.
"That's insane! Frieza would never lower himself to that!" Ginyu reasurred.
"Look! I think they're about to leave!" Jeice said.
"Oh no! Now, everyone, HOLD HANDS!!" Ginyu shouted. they grabbed the other's hand, and Ginyu quickly led them out. Just as Goku instant transmissioned, Ginyu's finger barely touched Goku's shoulder. Yama blinked, having just seen the whole Ginyu force spring from his desk and touch Goku.
"No way. I'm just imagining things." Yama said, shaking his head. He went back to work.
--Goku's House--
Frieza and Goku reappeared in the living room of his house, the Ginyu force right behind them. They fell, but landed on their feet in a corny pose. Lucky for them, Frieza or Goku hadn't noticed them yet. They stayed in the same pose as Frieza and Goku walked out, turning off the light behind them, and going to their rooms to bed.
"Nighty night, Frieza!" Goku said, going to his room. Frieza rolled his eyes and went to his own bed to sleep.
Back in the living room, the Ginyu Force finally dropped the pose and stood in the dark.
"So, this is Earth." Ginyu said.
"Yep. But we can't stay here. They'll see us in the morning." Jeice said.
"I believe your right. We can sleep outside for now, I guess." Ginyu said.
"I call the bushes!!" Recoome shouted, running out.
"Hey, no fair!! Wait for me!" Jeice said, running out as well. Burter shrugged and went after them, followed by Guldo.
"Guys!! Don't leave me here!!" Ginyu pleaded as he ran out himself.
--Capsule Corp.--
"Ow, Mom, that hurts!" Trunks shouted as his mother applied the bandages.
"Oh, stop whining. It can't be that bad." Bulma said, finishing the wrap around his chest.
"When 3 psycopathic people start beating up on you for no reason, its bad."
"Maybe I should tell your father you called him that."
"Noooo... don't... besides, you don't want me hurt more, do you?"
"Oh, why not?"
"Mom!"
"Sorry, hun, but you just gotta watch that mouth of yours. No one appreciates that kind of talk. Especially your dad."
"Fine, fine... but I hope I don't get more bruises for the party tomarrow."
"Hopefully you won't. But I will get you up early to help."
"Aw, but you can't force an injured boy like me to do that..."
"I can and I will. Besides, you are strong, aren't you?"
"Of coarse!"
"Or maybe I should let Buu take all the glory."
"No! Just wake me up at 6 and I'll help!"
"That's my boy." Bulma smiled as she sent him off to bed.
Bulma then returned to her bedroom and laid next to her already sleeping husband. She wanted him to get up early, too, to prepare for the party. Hopefully everyone would pitch in.
"Well, Buu, I'm gonna go to bed, so I'll see you tomarrow." Bra said as she went into her room and shut her door. She quickly changed and plopped down into her soft bed. She soon drifted to sleep under her lush blankets.
"Night..." Buu whispered as he made his way to the guest room. He kicked off his shoes at the foot of the bed, and changed his attire to the silky black pajamas he found resting on his bed. They felt more comfortable than his usual clothes. He laid back on his bed, pulling the covers over him. He put his arms behind his head and closed his eyes. Thoughts started to fill his mind... thoughts of when he first came to Earth... he remembered how Vegeta sacrificed himself to kill him and save his family. How everyone defended their loved ones, even till the very end. (for all those who didn't survive) And yet, he could never understand it. All he thought about were sweets and what to destroy next. He never felt love for anything, and didn't even know what it was. He was only created to destroy.
As he thought about this, a new feeling washed over him-- guilt. He felt sorry for doing all these things to everyone. And now, lucky for him, he got the chance to repay the Earth by being a civilized person. Then there was that condition. To find love. To find someone that would love him. Somehow, he seemed to think he already had found someone. Maybe...
"No. I can't be with her. She is beautiful and innocent, when I'm... just a monster." He said to himself as the tiredness grew and took over, making him fall asleep.

A/N: Sorry the sections were so short, except for the Frieza one. I just needed it to stop when they went to bed, cuz the next chapter won't be too broken up, they'll all be at the same place... so... yeah... but I hope you liked it!
