*The Lookout* " So, what do we do now?" Goten asked.

" The best thing to do would be to talk to Bulma about the situation. I'm sure she's home by now and she may be able to make us a radar or something we can use to find the Black Star Dragon Balls."

" Aren't you forgetting something Goku?" Piccolo spoke.

" Hm?"

" King Kai said that once the Black Star Balls have been used, they scatter across the entire universe. You'd need a lot more than just a radar to find them all."

" Hey, come on! No worries Piccolo! If there's anyone I know that can do this, it's Bulma."

" Fine. But you're doing this by yourself. You guys got yourselves into this mess, so you get out of it. I'll be waiting when you come back."

" Okay then, off to Bulma's!"

" Oh crap, I'm so dead. Mom's gonna kill me."

Trunks muttered under his breath.

*Capsule Corp, West City*

" Hey Bulma" Goku said, standing in front of the others.

" Goku? Is that really you? What happened?" Bulma Briefs, praised for being one of the best scientists of her time, was staring at her old friend in confusion.

" Eheh, well, when I was over at the Lookout, I was talking to Dende and Popo, then I heard some noise coming from the other room. It turns out Emperor Pilaf and his friends were up to no good. They had summoned the Dragon with the Black Star Dragon Balls. Then Pilaf wished for me to be a kid again and boom, here I am."

" Whoa whoa whoa, hold it, what are the Black Star Dragon Balls."

" They're a set of Dragon Balls that Kami made when he was still merged with Piccolo." Trunks said.

" Yeah, and after those bad guys ran away, the old dragon said we had one more wish. So we asked him where Bra had gone."

" WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GONE?" screeched Bulma

" E-Exactly what I said." Goku replied nervously.

The blue-haired genius turned to Trunks.

" I leave you with her for ONE DAY, and she's gone. I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER. I was worried when we came back and she wasn't around, but I thought she went with you guys."

" It's not my fault she decided to go off on her own. I thought she was old enough to stay by herself for an hour or two until me and Goten came back" Trunks said.

" Now what are we going to do? My poor baby, all alone in a world she doesn't know." Bulma looked like she was about to cry.

" Uh, That's what we came here to ask you about Bulma."

Said blue-haired scientist looked up at Goku, indicating for him to continue.

" We asked the Dragon, and he told us that Bra was transported to a different world or dimension, and that she's gotta do something before she can be brought back here." Goku said.

"And if that wasn't bad enough, we have one year to collect the Black Star Dragon Balls, which have been scattered across the entire universe, or else the planet explodes." Trunks added.

" So whaddya say, Bulma? Can you do it?" Goku asked.

" Well, I think I can manage to put a Dragon ball

tracking system on the ship we've been working on. It should have enough fuel to last you a year. I'm going to have to run some tests, but it should be ready in a few days at most."

" Aw Great! I knew I could count on you Bulma!" Goku grinned enthusiastically.

" So who's going?" Trunks asked.

" Obviously you and Kakarot's brat."

They turned to see Vegeta standing in the corridor of the room.

" Why me?" Goten whined.

" You and Trunks were the ones responsible so it seems fit you should pay for your mistakes" sneered Vegeta.

" The ship should seat about 3 people. Who else is going?" Bulma asked.

" Kakarot of course."

" Huh? Why?"

" I have better things to do at the moment, like train and prepare for any threat that could be coming."

* The Next Day*

The Capsule Corp staff were dropping a machine into the landing pod, and an assistant handed bulma a tablet for further actions.

" Wow!" Goku said. " It looks like an Octopus, and it's really big!"

" You know, seeing you as a kid again reminds me of when we used to go on all those adventures back then." Bulma said.

" Hehe" Goku chuckled.

" Well, the ship's almost ready, but I need a hand. Gohan, Videl, do you mind?"

" Of course Bulma." Gohan said, and Videl smiled as the two walked off with Bulma.

Goku was throwing punches and kicks at the air, when he spotted his granddaughter, Pan.

" Hey Pan, what're you doing here?"

" Oh hiya Grandpa. I was at home with Mama and Papa when we heard about what happened to you and Bra from Bulma so we came here as quick as we could." Pan replied.

" Oh okay, Well I'm just gonna go back to training now. Why dontcha go and help Gohan or your mom out."

" Mkay. Later Grandpa!" Pan walked in the direction of the ship.

Gohan was testing out one of the control panels on the ship when Pan approached him.

" Hey Papa, is there anything I can help you with?"

" No thanks, Pan, why don't you go see if you can help Mom with something?" Gohan replied.

" Okay"

Pan walked over to Videl, who was running some tests on the ship.

" Hi Mama, Papa told me I should come and help you."

" I'm fine Pan, why don't you go and play outside for a bit." Videl answered and turned back to testing a panel, muttering to herself.

Pan walked down the hallways of the ship. She was so frustrated with how everyone was treating her. She wasn't some little kid they could boss around! They needed her help and they knew it! Pan kicked one of the walls of the ship in frustration. Her eyes widened at what she had done. She quickly placed a cart in front of the damaged wall and walked away, ' I'll just be going this way now.'

Over at the landing station, everyone was making preparations for liftoff.

Trunks was checking the inside of the ship out with Goku, Bulma was programming, Videl and Gohan were double-checking to make sure everything worked, Vegeta was spectating from above, and Goten was on the phone.

" Hey Valese, what's up?" Goten said into the phone." " A date? Sure, when?"

" Oh, I can't. I've got something to do."

" I'm going on a trip into space...yeah m-mhm , and I won't be back for an entire year! I promise to see ya when I get back."

On the ship*

Goku and Trunks opened the door to the ship and found an unexpected stowaway.

" Hi there Pan." Goku said.

" What's going on?" Trunks said.

" Just making sure all systems are go for our journey" The quarter-Saiyan girl giggled.

" 'Bout time you guys got here." She folded her arms as she sat in the main control chair.

" Pan please, this is no time for fooling around."

Trunks pleaded.

" Oh No? Then let's get serious! Blast off!" Pan slammed her hand on the start button and the ship raised to take off.

" Ahhh!" Goku and Trunks yelled.

" Yeah, a whole year- Ahhh!!!!" Goten fell over

Just then, a loud noise went off in the liftoff station, and with a huge gust of wind, the ship took off.

"Valese, you still there? Yeahhh, good news...my schedule just cleared up." Goten said dazed.
