Chapter 2: Different Perspectives

The inhabitants of Kame house were just coming out of their trance like state after a couple hours of staring at Master Roshi. They looked around themselves and the first thing they noticed was Goku, Gohan, and Krillin all sitting on the couch watching then with confused looks on their faces. The Ox King was extremely happy to find out that his only grandson was still alive, "Gohan, Goku. When did you guys get here?"

Goku Chuckled, "About half an hour ago."

Master Roshi looked at the three warriors from behind his sun glasses and studied them hard. All of them were covered in injuries. Some of the injuries looked pretty bad to. "How did you three get back here? None of you look like you could fly very far."

Krillin laughed until his sides hurt. Which didn't take long, considering his sides were all bruised. "We had help from nimbus." Krillin managed to get himself under control. "So why have you all been staring at Master Roshi like that? Did it have something to do with the saiyans?"

Suddenly the group remembered why they had been stuck in a trance, the Ox King looked at them and said, "Master Roshi said 'What the Doodles.' That's why we were staring at him." The Ox King waited as everyone in the room nodded, and then he remembered why Master Roshi had said that, "Oh no, Chi Chi and Bulma have disappeared."

Gohan looked at his grandfather, "What do you mean mom disappeared?"

-- Satan City --

Bulmas' Capsule car sped outside the city limits and barreled down the highway in the general direction of West city. Bulma sat in the drivers seat and pondered what it meant to be in the future. 'This is so cool. Time travel. It can be done. Maybe I should study it. I might be able to create a time machine. I wonder how my future has turned out. I bet I've married Yamucha by now, and we probably have around five kids. I wonder if I've aged at all. Probably not, I'm so beautiful. Not to mention I'm a genius.'

Bulma tuned into a random radio station and set the cruise control on her car. She should be getting home in less then one hour. 'I can't wait.'

Suddenly a thought struck Bulma so hard she just about slammed on the brakes. 'What about Chi Chi? She was with me, but we got separated. What if she's in a different time or place. She could be in danger. I guess I better hurry up then. The sooner I can find my other self, the sooner I can find out what happened to Chi Chi.'

Bulma was about to turn up the speed when another thought struck her, 'Did we defeat the saiyans?'

-- Kamis' Lookout --

Dende stood on the edge of his floating palace with his wooden staff at his side. He stared down at the vast world beneath him and couldn't help but have a feeling that he had missed something big.

"Dende. Dende, can you hear me?"

That was it. "Oh no. I forgot to tape Americal Idol." Dende shouted out.

"Dammit Dende. Are you listening? Can you hear me?"

Dende looked up at the sky with a pouty face on, "Yes I can King Kai. How can I help you?"

King Kais voice echoed down to Dende from his place on the Grand Kais planet, "It would seem that there are a couple presences that have popped up into existence on earth and I am to tell you that it is your responsibility to find out what they are doing there."

Dende looked shocked and turned around to stare at the earth again, "A couple new presences? Are they evil? Do they pose a threat to us?"

King Kai answered in a cheerful tone, "For once, they aren't. These powers seem to be of an ordinary human level, and mostly benevolent. Could you try and find out how they came to be here."

"Okay King Kai. Talk to you later." Dende hung up, I mean stopped talking and tried to think of what to do next. "I wanted to torture Gohan, but that's going to have to wait."

A voice behind the guardian made him jump, "What are you going to do about the problem?"

Dende whirled around and yelled in his fellow nameks face, "How many times do I have to tell you Piccolo. Do not use that scary voice of yours to startle me like that."

Piccolo laughed.

-- 439 Mountain Area --

Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Goten were all leaning up against a large tree in the Son families' enormous backyard. They watched as Chi Chi and Bulma were laying out the picnic lunch on a dozen large picnic tables. Krillin was playing catch with little Marron, and eighteen was sitting in a hammock watching them. It was a nice sunny day. It was perfect for a picnic.

The saiyans were eying all the food and only Gohan took his eyes off the scrumptious looking edibles when Videls' helicopter landed in the yard. The black haired young woman stepped out and capsulated her vehicle and ran over to see Gohan. "Hi Gohan, how are you?"

"I'm fine." Gohan said and gave her a kiss on the cheek and returned to watching the food.

Videl scowled, "Damn saiyans," she stalked off to help the women setting up the food. maybe she would get more attention from her boyfriend that way.

Goku looked at his son from the other side of the tree, "Gohan, when are you going to propose to Videl? You've had the ring for a while now."

Gohan looked at his father, "I'm going to wait until she's really angry at me."

Goku looked confused, "Why?"

Gohan chuckled, "I know she won't refuse to marry me when I ask her. So if I wait until she's mad at me, it'll be like using a get out of jail free card. In other words, she'll forget about being mad at me."

"Oh, okay." Goku continued looking over his shoulder at his son, "Hey Gohan, how much longer until Vegeta gets back? I'm starving."

Gohan looked at his watch, "Probably about ten to fifteen minutes."

Goku groaned and held his stomach, "But I haven't eaten in over twenty minutes. I'm starving over here."

-- In Mid Air Somewhere Over The Mountains --

"Damn lazy teenagers!" The seven foot tall namekian exclaimed to himself and a couple of birds nearby, "Why do I have to do all the work for him? He's the guardian, but I'm out here doing menial grunt tasks."

Piccolo soared through the air towards the mountain home of Goku. Piccolo just hoped that the saiyans wife wouldn't be there. He hated dealing with that woman. She was so pushy and annoying. "Well at least there's only one of her."

-- Capsule Corp. --

Bulmas' out of date but still nice sports car pulled up into the parking lot at capsule corp. That's right. They didn't have a drive way. They had a parking lot. A parking lot where the briefs family kept such vehicles as Bulmas' convertible made out of strawberries, Trunks' bike made out of candy, and Vegetas' monster truck made out of solid gold. Bulma didn't pay any attention to these. She probably would have stopped to admire the strawberry car if it wasn't hiding behind the monster truck.

The blue haired time traveler jumped out of her car and dashed towards the house. She reached the front door and was about to barge in when something caught her attention out of the corner of her eye. Something fell out of the sky and landed quietly on the ground Bulma rushed around the side of the house, 'Maybe that's Yamucha and I can surprise him.'

She stopped in her tracks as she saw who was stalking inside the house. It was the evil saiyan prince known as Vegeta. She clamped her hands over her mouth and jumped behind a rose bush. She had almost screamed out when she saw him. Then he would have found her and killed her. Bulma thought carefully. 'Vegeta must have won the battle. It's obvious that he's taken my house to live in. It is the largest residence on the planet. Oh no. What if all my friends are dead. I may never be able to get home, and if Vegeta finds me he'll kill me for sure.'

Bulma decided after a short debate that she should go see if any of her friend were still alive and kicking. Her plan was to go to the Sons house first. If any one could help her, it would be Goku. If there was no one there, she would have to try Kame house.

Bulma crept out of her hiding spot and pulled her fastest Plane capsule out of her pocket. She opened it up and jumped in. In record time she had the plane running and was well on her way to the mountains. 'Now that I think about it. There's a good chance that Chi Chis' safer then I am.'

-- 439 Mountain Area --

The picnic goers were getting restless. Well, at least all the picnic goers that were born with tails were getting restless. All that food was right in front of them and they couldn't touch it, and now that the women had android eighteen helping them guard the food, there was no way they could steal any.

The saiyans had retreated back to their tree and were now trying to lull the women into a false sense of security by not attacking the food for two whole minutes. They were about to make another attack when everyone looked in the direction of the Son house. From the other side of the house everyone could hear a voice calling out, "Goku? Gohan? Are you here?"

Without thinking Goku spoke up, "Were over here Chi Chi." Then he stopped and turned around to look at the picnic tables, "Wait a minute. Chi Chis' right there. So who was that?"

Everyone in attendance turned around again to look at the house. They watched as a black haired motherly looking woman walked around the house and walked towards Goku. She looked around at all the people. "Goku, who are all these people? Who's this little clone of you? Shouldn't you be all beaten up? Why does that kid have purple hair? and perhaps most importantly, why is there food on that table and you haven't eaten it yet?" Chi Chi stopped her tirade and looked at all the shocked people.

Android Eighteen was the first to speak up, "Who are you?" She said this in her usual cold emotionless voice.

Chi Chi looked at her with a frown, "I am Son Chi Chi. Who are you?"

Everyone looked at the woman in shock, and then they all looked at the older Chi Chi. They were broken out of their shock by a loud harsh laugh coming from above them. Everyone looked up to find Piccolo hovering in the air. Chi Chi paled. 'It's that evil Piccolo guy. He kidnapped Gohan. I guess I'm going to have to pull out my secret weapon. The frying pan.'

Piccolo looked down on the crowd, "Well that solves one part of the mystery."

Goku looked at Piccolo and then at the new Chi Chi and then back at Piccolo, "What mystery Piccolo?"

Piccolo looked down at Goku in silence, 'What mystery?' a younger version of his wife shows up and he asks me 'What mystery?', "King Kai contacted us. Apparently there are a couple presences that popped into existence in this world. We were charged with finding out who they are and where they came from. At least we know who one of them is."

Piccolo floated down to the ground and turned to face the new Chi Chi. "Where did you co..." Piccolo never finished his sentence as he found his skull being smashed in from a very irate woman with a very hard frying pan.

Chi Chi ran up to the tall green man and had to jump up to reach his head, but she hit him good. The namekian fell back a couple steps and shook his head a couple times. Chi Chi raised her frying pan threateningly, "That's for kidnapping Gohan. Now where is he?"

Gohan looked around to see if there were any other Gohans in the area, "I'm right here." he said from his place by the tree.

Chi Chi whirled around and stared at the tall man in front of her. Chi Chi couldn't figure out what was going on, so she did the only sensible thing. She fainted.

-- Look Out --

Dende watched the proceedings from atop his floating palace. "Man, this is better then pay-per-view. I wish I had thought to do this. Maybe I'll bring someone else to the future some other time." Dende stopped watching the show as Chi Chi was out cold for a little while and began searching for the other entity. "If Chi Chi is one of them. Then the other is probably another Z fighter or one of their family members."

-- With Bulma --

Bulma was flying her jet at top speed towards the Son house. When she got there she should be cautious. There's no knowing whether Goku still lives there. Maybe a bunch of other evil saiyans had moved in. Bulma shuddered at the thought of a group of saiyans colonizing Earth and killing everyone off, but there were people in Orange Star City. Of course the saiyans would keep some humans alive as entertainment and to be slaves. What if that was the only city on the planet and all the other people had been killed, but wait, I've already been to two cities, and there were lots of people driving around on the highways. The saiyans probably just didn't want to kill everyone off because it would be creepy to live on a deserted planet.

Bulma shook her head to get the bad images out. Luckily for her the images flew out of her ears like a couple gobs of loose ear wax. Goku was probably still alive and they just could never manage to beat each other. Like a thirteen year long stalemate. Some how Bulma had a hard time convincing herself of that. Bulma began thinking about her future self again. What if she wasn't dead. What if she was Vegetas' slave. He would probably keep her alive, she was beautiful and a genius. 'What if he's not using me for just my brains?' Bulmas' face paled. 'I've got to do something.'

-- Son Residence --

The whole group watched with bated breath as one eye lid twitched. Then the other. Then this younger version of Chi Chi opened both her eyes and looked around at everyone. She examined all the familiar, yet different faces. Then she looked at some of the new faces. Eventually her eyes fell on the older version of Gohan and she spent the next couple of minutes staring at him. Eventually Goku managed to snap her out of it by waving his hand in front of her face. Really quickly.

Chi Chi slowly got up and in a surprisingly calm voice said, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE. SON GOKU YOU WILL EXPLAIN WHAT HAS HAPPENED OR I'M NOT COOKING FOR YOU FOR A YEAR!"

Goku gulped. Even if this wasn't his Chi Chi and she couldn't hold his food supply hostage, that was a scary thought. There was no way he could go back to ki roasted fish after getting used to Chi Chis' wonderful cooking. "Okay Chi Chi. It looks like you've traveled through time some how."

"Time travel? you must be joking. Time travel is impossible." Chi Chi said as a matter of fact. "I got Gohan a bunch of books on time travel and all the greatest scientists disproved the theories.

Bulma began laughing, "But none of those scientists were me."

Goku grinned, "Sorry to break it to you Chi Chi, but time travel is possible. Your not the first time traveler we've met. We've had two people from the future come here."

Chi Chi looked shocked, "I'm in the future?"

Goku nodded. "How far in the future has yet to be determined, but judging by the way you were acting. I'd say your from some time around when Raditz or Vegeta showed up.

Chi Chi nodded, "Yes. I was busy watching you fight that horrible monster on Babas' crystal ball and it zapped Bulma and myself and then we went through this tunnel thing. I just thought I was dreaming and the electricity had knocked me out. Maybe I'm still dreaming?" Chi Chi didn't notice the future Bulma begin covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing at her description of Vegeta.

Goku shook his head, "Afraid not."

Chi Chi frowned, "Bulma was with me, but we got separated and now I don't know where she is. She could be anywhere."

Piccolo decided to speak up, considering he just put two and two together, "She's in this time. somewhere on earth. King Kai said there was more then one person that has shown up recently. Where do you think she would have gone?"

Everyone exchanged looks, "Capsule Corp." they all said at once.

Bulma looked up, "What if she runs into Vegeta?"

Krillin looked up laughing, "Man, I'd love to see that meeting."

Chi Chi looked horrified, "You haven't killed that monster yet. What have you guys been doing?"

Goku looked sympathetically at Chi Chi, "Chi Chi, let me explain. I'll start from where you left off. After the fight with Vegeta we..."

-- With Bulma --

Bulma landed her plane in a small clearing a short distance from the son house. Bulma put the vehicle back into it's capsule and began walking towards her friends house. She was anxious and nervous about what she would see. She crept towards the house and as she got closer she began seeing all the people. 'Good. They're still alive, and Chi Chis' with them.' Bulma was about to jump out and greet them when Goku stood up and looked at the sky. "Vegetas' coming."

Bulma's face paled as she looked up to follow Gokus' gaze. What she saw scared her to no end. Vegeta was dropping out of the sky and he landed neatly in the middle of the group.

Bulma began backing up. and she turned around and sprinted back to the clearing where she could take off again. Bulma popped open her plane capsule and jumped into the transporter. Within seconds she was flying at full speed towards Capsule corp. 'If Vegetas' not at capsule corp. I may be able to sneak in and grab some of the lab equipment. Maybe I'll be able to find out some way to travel through time. I just hope they don't lose this fight.

Brenman: How was that. I wonder what will happen next chapter. Even I don't really know. I only have an idea about where I'm going. all the filler is made up on the fly. Usually I do more planning. Oh and incase you've forgotten. R-E-V-I-E-W Find out what it means to me. R-E-V-I-E-W take care TCB. What's TCB? I sure don't know.

Okay. I just looked it up on Google. Apparently TCB means Taking Care of Business. So I'm going to go listen to some BTO on TCB.
