Chapter Five: Big City Lights.

Summery: what if you could become who ever you wanted? Well, unfortunately, the one guy that god choose to offer that very thing to has a few screws loose, come in and see what he does with his new life.

Please do not sue me as I do not have any money. The only things that I own from this fic are my own original characters and the weird situation I come up with.

Series: YES, this is actually a Dragon Ball Z fanfic! I know I don't normally put a 'series' thing at the start of my fics, or a warnings thing for that matter, but I feel that they are both necessary since this fic seems like it's a Dragon Ball fic for the first 6-7 chapters. But at chapter 6 or 7 we will be jumping forward to the actual start of the Dragon Ball Z series (when Raditz arrives) and will be going from there.

Warnings: OC, Violence (It's DBZ, Duh), Language (Jacob says things that Goku normally wouldn't), It's either going to have Gender-bending or Mpreg (Male Pregnancy) (If it has Gender-Bending, then it won't technically have Yaoi, if it has Male Pregnancy, then duh, it's Yaoi), Bisexuality.

Pairings: Everyone:

NOTE 1: DBZ Math: I THINK that Goku was about 17 when he and Chichi got married in the anime, in this fic, Jacob becomes Goku when he and Goku are both 15. also, I think that they have Gohan when Goku's 20, and Raditz got to earth when Gohan is five and a half, there for, Jacob has 10 years to make his wishes wit the dragon balls in order to get everything ready for when he and Raditz meets. That means, he has 10 wishes to use... well, actually, it's only 9 because he fucks up the first wish...

NOTE 2: Don't worry, there shouldn't be nearly as many author's notes in any of the other chapters.

-----------------

Jacob slowly made his way through the crowded streets of West City, only half searching for Capsule corp. when he had first entered the city, he had had every intention of finding out where Bulma's place was and heading straight there, but after being in the huge city for less then half a second, his determination instantly started swaying in favor of having a look around.

Every where he looked, there was a sign for something he had never seen before. There was one to his left for an electronic wallet, and one to his right that was for a little robot that would groom your pets for you. There was even one for a robot that could actually clean every inch of your house for you, including your pets' litter boxes.

"Wow, I don't remember seeing even half of this stuff in the anime." He said as he continued walking down the street, pausing to look into a new shop every few feet.

In the end, he spent more then two and a half hours just looking from shop to shop, but in the end it did actually help get one thing done. He had been walking from one shop to the another when he spotted a bank, which he decided to go into because he remembered that he still had the huge chunk of gold that his father had given him and he figured that one of the bank people would probably be able to tell him where he could go to exchange it. As it turned out, he didn't have to go far at all.

The guy that he spoke to at the front desk was kind of rude, but at the very least he was actually helpful. When he had told him that he needed to know if there was a place to exchange the gold, the guy had informed him that the woman in the stall at the very end of the line was the gold exchange lady, which he was very happy to find out. When he went gave her all the gold he had, she had said that it was probably a really crappy karat count because gold very rarely was ever found in such huge amounts anymore unless it was less then a fourteen, whatever that meant.

Apparently, the way they test the gold is by putting several lines of solution across a black plate and run the gold across them. Each solution was made to dissolve a different karat of gold. If the gold left a gold line when it was scrapped across the solution, then it had a higher karat count then the solution could dissolve, and if it left a line through all the solution lines, then it's the full twenty four karats.

The moment the lady ran the gold across the lines of solution, her eyes got really big, her mouth started foaming, and she promptly fell over, surprising the man that was in the stall next to her. After a few minutes of him and several other workers running around in and trying to wake her up, the owner of the bank came out of his office and asked them what was going on. When he saw the huge mound of gold and saw that it had left a nice solid gold line through all of the solutions, he spent the next few minutes calling Jacob Sir, and kept asking him if he could get him anything.

That had been over an hour ago, and now he was actually searching for Bulma's place, which wasn't going nearly as well as he had hoped it would. He had even gone so far as to go through Goku's memories again in search of how to read peoples Ki, but that hadn't really helped him because apparently Yamcha was off training somewhere far away or something because his own Ki was the only one that was higher then a blip.

"Gah! Where is it?!" He growled in annoyance, pulling out a map of the city he had found in the maps his father had given him and looking at it, wishing it had a giant dot on it that said 'Bulma's Place Here' or something.

Sadly, the map didn't have the much needed giant red dot on it, so it sadly got a few wrinkles and crinkles here and there where Jacob nearly ripped it apart. Luckily though, he was able to control himself enough to not damage it to much.

Giving up and the map, he finally decided to pull an officer or someone aside and ask them, though he seriously doubted they would be willing to tell him. It took him a few minutes to actually find an officer, but when he did, it turned out to be the exact same guy that Goku had asked for direction to Bulma's place in Dragon Ball when he broke the Dragon Radar, so he didn't have a problem with telling him where Capsule corp was.

"Thanks again!" Jacob told the cop when he was finally in front of the intercom system of the huge round building that was Capsule corp.

Smiling at him and waving good bye as well, the officer hopped back onto his motorcycle and drove away, leaving him in front of the huge gate that led to Capsule Corp.

Even if the huge iron gate that stood between him and the main building would have a full metal wall instead of giant iron bars, he still would have been able to see the building with out a problem, it was just that huge. It was the spitting image of the same building he had seen in Dragon Ball when Goku went to get the Dragon Radar fixed.

Instead of being a regular brick milk carton shape building, it was completely domed shaped like all the other Capsule buildings he had ever seen in the anime, but instead of being white or gray like the rest of them were, it was a bright, off white, sandy yellow color and had six rows of windows going across it, indicating that the main part of the building actually had six floors. There were also two large half oval shaped towers sitting on top of it that were positioned at opposite sides, making it almost look as though they were giant ears, both of which had two rows of windows going across them as well, indicating that they both had two floors.

"Wow." he said, staring in amazement at the huge round building.

Having lived in New York all his life, he was more then used to seeing huge buildings, and this one didn't even come close to being as tall or as huge as most of the ones he had always been surrounded by, but none of them were nearly as interesting as this one was. All of the industry buildings he had ever seen, as well as pretty much every other building he had ever seen, were all the normal rectangular or square shape that most buildings were, but this... it was as if someone had taken a giant ball and had cut it in half or something. It was just so cool looking compared to all the buildings he had ever seen before.

As for everything else about the building apart from the building's shape and color, there were several other things about it that wouldn't have been normal if he was back in his own world. For instants, instead of being surrounded by parking spots or something like it would have been back in his old world, the people that worked at Capsule Corp. didn't need parking spaces as they probably all drove Capsule Cars, so the place wasn't covered by black top, tar, or cement at all. Apart from the path that led from the front gate up to the main entrance, the entire area surrounding the building was covered in healthy looking bright green grass, all of which looked neatly trimmed, which probably meant that they had a gardener take care of it or something. There were also a few trees here and there, as well as two smaller buildings that Jacob could barely see on the other side of the huge stone wall and iron fence.

For several minutes, he simply stood there and stared at everything in amazing. The entire building was just... well, it really drove home the fact that the Dragon Ball Z version of planet Earth was very different from the one he was used to.

Not wanting to get caught staring by Bulma or something, who knew that the original Goku had already seen the place before, Jacob shook his head to clear his thoughts of amazement from his mind and pushed the large red button on the intercom system near the large iron gate.

For several minutes after he pushed the button, there was complete silence. In fact, there wasn't a single sound at all until he finally decided to push the button again, thinking that they they hadn't heard the intercom or something, though he wasn't really sure how the thing worked anyway. Just as his finger was about to make contact with the large, rubbery red button again, a quiet, yet overly shrill and girly voice spoke up, causing Jacob's new and overly sensitive ears to hurt immensely.

"Hello, this is Mrs. Briefs speak." The high pitched voice called in a way to sweet tone, instantly making Jacob wish that he cold rip his own ears off in an attempt to get away from the evilly high pitched voice. "May I ask who's callin?"

"Yeah, It's me.." Jacob started, momentarily completely forgetting his painfully ringing ears and pausing, trying to steady himself for what he was about to say. "It's me... Goku."

It was harder to say those three small words then anything else had ever been. Saying those words meant saying goodbye to his old life, and, they were the same as saying goodbye to ever being Jacob again. With those words, he wouldn't be able to call himself 'Jacob' anymore, and wouldn't be able to think of himself as 'Jacob'. Those words were the same as admitting to himself that he was no longer Jacob, but was instead the new Goku.

"Oh, Goku! Are you here to see Bulma?" the shrill voice of Bulma's mom asked, cutting through Jacob's, no, cutting through Goku's moment of loss and making him wish he could rip his eardrums out. "Well, she just left, but I'm sure that she wouldn't mind if you waited in her room."

As Bulma's mom continued to talk, the large front gate that sat next to the intercom system opened, allowing him entrance to Capsule Corp.

"Thanks Mrs. Briefs." He said politely, turning away from the intercom and walking through the main gate and up the small path that lead to the front of the main building.

The entire time he was walking, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He was really saying goodbye to his old life. Every little thing that he had ever known was now permanently gone. His friends, his family, and everything else, all of it was gone and none of it was ever going to come back. Now, after finally reaching Capsule Corp and saying those few short words, he was no longer Jacob. Now, after finally saying it out loud, he was fully and completely the new Goku.

'I can't keep thinking of myself as Jacob anymore. This is Goku's body, and everyone will know me as Goku, and I have Goku's responsibilities now. I can't be Jacob anymore...' he thought to himself as he walked through the opened front door of Capsule Corp, sighing heavily and wishing he could go back to his old life. 'Damn it! If it wasn't for Pilaf, I would still be me.. But now... Now, I'm no longer me anymore, now I'm- now I'm Goku.'

Shaking his head in an attempt to get mind off of his new loss, Jacob I mean Goku, pushed his thoughts out of his head, knowing that thinking about it would just make him feel even worse. When he finally managed to clear his head, which took a few minutes, he paused just inside the main hall of the Capsule Corp, blinking stupidly a couple of times when he saw robots moving all around him, cleaning the floors and watering the plants. He had seen many of the robots in the anime, but that didn't mean he was surprised to actually see them in person.

There were at least fifteen or sixteen of them working all over the place, and each of them were a different color. It was like looking at a really weird and badly colored rainbow. Almost half of them were various shades of green, and the ones that weren't were either shades of blue, shades of purple, or shades of orange and pink. The ones that were the more feminine colored, like the two that were light orange and dark pink in color, also had large, multicolored bows on their heads, which he was sure meant that they were supposed to be girl robots.

Each and every one of the robots were also busy doing something, with each one of them doing something different. There was one that was dusting off random items, and another that was vacuuming the carpet and rugs. There was even one that was going around and doing paper work, though why was being him. Since it was a robot, couldn't it just compute everything? So why did it need to use paper instead?

After a few minutes of just standing there and staring at each of the odd looking robots, he finally noticed the room itself. In the anime, it had been just a large room with a sitting area that led right into a large hall, but in real life, that wasn't what it looked like at all. It was still a sitting area, and there was still a huge hall attached to the room, but apart from that, everything was way more grand then it had been in the anime. Instead of being a small sitting area, it was actually a huge wide open room with chairs sitting against the along the walls and a grand, semicircular staircase that led up to the second floor.

As for the rooms coloring, instead of being red floored and white walled, most of the room had white marbled floors and marble like blue paint job for the walls. On the parts of the floor that weren't covered in marble, there was carpet, though it was actually only in front of just one door, which probably led to a room that was completely carpeted or something. There were also a bunch of really cool looking rugs all over the place, each of which were being readjusted by a robot that seemed to be fussing over their position.

"Wow." the tanned teen said again, just as amazed as he had been when he saw the outside of the building.

Well, he wasn't really sure what he had been expecting, but as Bulma is actually the daughter of the creator of the Capsule technology, any house she lived in would kind of have to be the lap of luxury, even if it did also double as a company building.

While the teen was staring at everything around him, a large robot maid came up and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention, completely surprising him and nearly scaring the crap out of him.

"Please follow me, Ms. Bulma's room is this way." the pink colored robot said, turning around and driving off down the giant hall that was attached to the room.

"Huh?" Jacob, I mean Goku, said stupidly, blinking after the little robot a few times before finally registering what it had said to him. "OH! Oh yeah, sorry!" He said apologetically, running down the hall after the little robot as it continued to wheel away from him.

Several minutes later and the new Goku found himself standing in a large room on the third floor. Most of the room's walls were white, but one of the walls was actually pink and had a pink staircase attached to it. The robot that had led him to the room had said that it was Bulma's, but apart from the one pink wall and pink staircase, there wasn't a single girly thing in it. Almost as soon as he walked into the room, he had nearly tripped over a bunch of mechanical junk that looked as though someone had taken it apart just to see how it worked.

There were also several hover machines sitting in the middle of the room, two of which he vaguely remembered being called air-bikes in the anime. Each of the hover machines looked as though it had been salvaged from a junky yard at some point in time and had simply been put in the middle of the room before being forgotten yet again. Since Bulma had always been making or fixing things in the anime, he was relatively sure that she was planing on repairing them, though he couldn't be completely sure.

"Wow, messy." he said quietly, looking at all the magazines and tools that covered the floor and silently wandering why a robot hadn't been in to clean. "Maybe their all afraid that she might use them for spare parts if they touch any of her things."

(A/N: Please note that I will be starting to refer to Jacob more and more as Goku instead of Jacob from this point on)

For nearly half an hour, the newly self dubbed Goku just continued looking around the room. He knew from watching the anime that Bulma was more then just a little bit of a super mechanic, but he had never really know just how much of a techno woman she really was. More then half of her room was taken up by tools or pieces of machines.

Just when he was about to let his perverted side take over and have a look in Bulma's panty drawers, a loud voice spoke up, nearly scaring the living crap out of him. (A/N: Don't worry, he's not much of a perv, just a kind of a perv sometimes.)

"Jacob?" the voice called out of nowhere, making him jump so high that he actually hit his head on the ceiling.

"I wasn't about to do anything!" he shouted in panic, spinning away from the dresser and looking around for whoever it was that had spoken, only to pause when he realized that the voice had called him Jacob, and not Goku. "Huh, who's calling my name?" He asked in surprise, seeing that there wasn't anyone there, especially not anyone that would know his real name.

"Well, while I don't actually know everything about what your world has seen of this one," The voice said, once again surprising the young teen both by the fact that it seemed to know who he really was and also by the fact that it seemed to come out of nowhere. "But Shenron has informed me that your world knows a great deal about me, so I would think you would be able to figure it out."

Blinking stupidly at everything in the room even though he was sure that the person wasn't anywhere near him, it took him several minutes to finally realize that the voice had said 'Shenron has informed me', which meant that it could only be one person.

Kami.

The only person that would ever be able to talk to Shenron whenever he wanted to would be Kami, the very person that created him, and even if he couldn't talk to him whenever he wanted, Jacob had a feeling that Shenron wouldn't have told just anyone about the person he used in the loophole. Plus, he was one of the few people that could talk to others telepathically.

"Ka-ka-Kami?!" The Neo-Goku stuttered nervously, more then a little surprised to finally be meeting one of the major Dragon Ball Z characters for the first time.

While Bulma's mom was actually in the anime, she didn't really count as being a major character in his book, which is why he hadn't been nearly as nervous when he had heard her voice and had spoken to her over the intercom system, but Kami did count as a major character, so it was really hard for him not to get all nervous when speaking to him.

"Yes, that's right." Kami's voice said, sounding slightly amused by his reaction. "I know that there is much you need to do, as well as much you plan to do, but when you get a moment, I would like for you to come to the Look-Out, if you wouldn't mind that is." (Please see A/N 1)

"Really?!" He replied in surprise, having not been expecting to get an invitation to visit the Look-Out by the Namekian. "You really want me to come to the Look-Out?"

"Yes, there are some things that I need to discuss with you." Kami told him through the telepathic connection, making the Neo-Goku wander what the guardian of the earth could possibly want to talk to him about. "But we'll have to talk later, for now, I believe one of Goku's friends is on her way to where you are."

"Huh? You mean Bulma?" He asked in surprise, unable to decide how he felt on having his talk with Kami suddenly cut short.

On the one hand, Bulma was Bulma, and he really wanted to meet her, but on the other hand, Kami was Kami, and he really wanted to speak with him as well.

"Yes, We'll talk later. For now, just stop trying to go through her things. The flying nimbus won't let you ride it if you keep this up." Kami said knowingly, making it clear that their conversation was over.

"Yes, because flying on the back of a cloud is way better then flying though the air on your own." the Neo-Goku said sarcastically even though he still did as he was told and took several steps towards the center of the room, moving away from the dresser so that he wouldn't be near it when she walked in. "Wait a sec, why aren't I training at the look out with you?" he asked when he finally realized that Goku was actually supposed to be training with Kami so that he could defeat piccolo at the next world martial arts tournament.

Unfortunately, Kami had already severed the telepathic connection.

Shrugging his shoulders and deciding to just ask him when the talked later, the Neo-Goku turned his attention to the door and stepped up next to the salvaged air-bikes in the center of the room. Almost as soon as as he reached one of the junked up old air-bikes in the middle of the room, Bulma opened her bedroom door and came in. The moment she was in the room, she paused, blinking at him stupidly.

Usually, her mother would have told her if someone was waiting for her in her room, but for some strange reason, she hadn't, so the bluenette was more then just a little surprised to find some strange guy standing in her room. At first, she didn't even recognize him at all and was just about ready to start yelling at him to get out until he suddenly gave her a rather nervous and dorky looking smile. While it wasn't the same smile that she remembered him having, the smile was still enough for her to recognize him instantly.

"Goku? Is that you?" She gasped in surprise, having not seen him since they brought Krillin back to life after the last world martial arts competition almost a years ago. (A/N: Yes, I know, if the World martial arts competition was a year ago, then that would make him 16, but, I just want him to be 15 for some stranger reason, don't ask me why, i just do.)

The last time she had seen him, which was just after they brought Krillin, Chiaotzu and Master Roshi back to life with the Dragon Balls, Goku had been incredibly short with a height of only a few inches over two feet, but now he was just as tall as she was, if not taller, and as he still had a few more years of growing to do, that probably meant that he was going to be a giant before long. (Please see A/N 2)

Apart from being over twice as tall as he had been less then a year ago, there was something else about him. Instead of being the cute little boy that he used to be, he was actually kind of handsome. He was way to young for her, but still, he definitely wasn't going to have any trouble trying to get women, that was for sure.

While Bulma was busy staring at him in surprise and amazement, the Neo-Goku was busy trying to figure out what the old Goku would say. It was one thing to see him talk to people in the anime, but it was a completely different thing to actually have to talk for him. If he said the wrong thing, then she would probably start realizing that something was very, very wrong, and he really didn't want to have to explain everything to her, at least not yet anyway.

"Um-, Hi Bulma!" He finally said, scratching the back of his head and smiling at her as happily as he could, hoping that it looked like something that Goku would do.

Apparently, it did.

Well, it looked like something that Goku would do enough to get her to think that he was still the same old Goku that she was used to anyway.

"Wow, I can't believe how fast you've grown." she said in amazement, blinking at him a few times in surprise shaking her head at his sudden growth spurt.

"Yeah, hehe-" He laughed nervously, mentally sighing in relief at the act that she hadn't noticed that he was acting weird.

"So, Goku, what brings you here to see me?" She asked, smiling at him and wandering how tall he was actually going to be when he was older.

If he had grown to her height in just a little over a year, then how tall was he going to get?

"Oh, well, I was wandering if you could help me find someone." he said nervously, hoping he wasn't acting to un-Goku like.

"That's it? Did something happen?" She asked in surprise, walking over to the a chair in the corner of the room and sitting down in front of a desk, one that just happened to be covered in so much junk that it took him a second to even realize what it was.

"Yeah," He answered, pausing for only a minute to figure out how he was going to tell her about Pilaf without actually telling her what was going on. "My Grandpa's Dragon Ball was stolen by Emperor Pilaf and his friends. I was able to get it back, along with the rest of the Dragon balls, and I was able to use them to make a wish before they could get them back, but then the three of them got away. "

The original Goku would have said it a little differently, if that was actually what happened, but Bulma didn't really notice it all that much, either that or she simply chalked it up to him becoming an adult or something.

"Really? They got away?" She asked in surprise, wandering how the three of them managed to get away from someone that could run faster then most vehicles could move. "Well, at least he didn't get to make his wish." She added, just happy that the little blue man wasn't able to make his wish and become the Emperor of the World. "Anyway, so what did you wish for kid?"

From what he saw of the anime, he was pretty sure that she was only six five or six years older then Goku, so getting called kid by someone that was relatively close to his own age was kind of annoying. Luckily, he was to busy trying to figure out how to answer her question to get annoyed over being called 'kid'.

Unable to think of anything to tell here, he decided to just go with one of the older, and more reliable lies.

"It's a secret." He said slyly, mentally patting himself on the back for being able to think of a lie under pressure, even if it was kind of a lame one.

"A secret?" She asked in surprise, having never known Goku to be very secretive. "What kind of a secret?"

"I promised I wouldn't tell anyone, but I guess I can at least tell you that it was just to help a friend." He said proudly so that he would seem more like the old Goku.

"Ah, can't you tell me what it was?" she asked in an overly sweet tone in the same way that she had asked the original Goku for his grandfather's Dragon Ball in the first Dragon Ball episode.

"No, I promised that I wouldn't tell." He said again, keeping the same proud smile on his face and hoping that she would just drop it.

Luckily, she did.

"Well, if it's for a friend, then I guess there's nothing I can do." She said with a shrug, turning around to face the computer that sat on the desk so that she could start searching. "Anyway, I take it that it's Pilaf that you want to find? Well, I'm not really sure if I'll be able to find him or not. He doesn't usually spend any money the legal way, so it's kind of hard to track his movements, and I usually just tinker with stuff, so this isn't really my specialty, but I'll see what I can do."

The entire time she was talking, Bulma was typing away, somehow managing to type more words in just a few seconds then the neo-Goku could have ever hoped to do in a year. She might have said that searching for people wasn't really her thing, but from what he was able to see, she was definitely good at it.

Bulma had been typing for less then three full seconds before she suddenly stopped typing and spoke, telling him what she had found out.

"Well, I wasn't able to find much, like I said, he doesn't usually go through the normal channels, but I was able to find a few things out." She said, turning around in her seat to look at him.

"Really? Like what?" He asked hopefully, wandering what it was and hoping that it could lead him to wherever Pilaf was.

Originally he had just wanted to find Pilaf because he knew the little monster was probably trying to take over the world again, and as he was now stuck in the Dragon Ball Z world with the little freak, that would probably be really bad, but now he had another reason to want to find him.

OK, so he actually had to reasons.

The first of the two reasons was simple, the little freak was the one he caused him to get sucked into the Dragon Ball Z world, and he really wanted to thank him for that. Because of the little jerk's obsession with taking over the world, Jacob had been forced to become Goku against his own freewill, loosing everything and everyone he had ever known or loved in the process, and there was absolutely no way he was going to let him get away with it. So, basically, the first reason he now wanted to find Pilaf was basically revenge, or retribution, whichever you need to call it to sleep at night, either way, it's the same thing.

Well, payback might be the first reason, but what's the second reason?

Self-preservation.

If Emperor Pilaf ever found out that Goku, weather Jacob was in his body or not, still existed, then he would probably try to wish him out of existence again, and that would be really, really bad. He wasn't really sure why, but he had this nagging feeling that the loophole wouldn't save him. He didn't have any way to prove it, other then to actually let it happen, which was out of the question, but he just knew that he would actually seize to exist. There had to be some kind of a limitation to the loophole, and knowing his lucky, he would probably be the one that the limitation actually effected.

And if that was the case, then he absolutely had to stop Pilaf at all costs.

"Well, for starters, he seems to have somehow made his way onto the Red Ribbon army's wanted list." She said, causing the Neo-Goku to blink at her in surprise.

"Really?" He asked in surprise, excited by this little bit of news.

If the Red-Ribbon army wanted to get rid of Pilaf, then he could probably go take them down and find out where the little blue bastard was at the same time, meaning it probably was going to take him nearly as long as he had thought that it would.

"Yep, and that's not all." She continued, getting out of the chair and moving out of the way so that he could see the computer screen. "See that," She asked pointing to an image of a large castle in the middle of nowhere. "That's the same castle that got knocked down when we first met Pilaf."

"But, I thought it was completely destroyed?" He asked in confusion, blinking stupidly at the almost completely rebuilt castle. "And didn't he get a floating one after that one got destroyed?"

"Yeah, but that one crashed, remember?" She asked, rolling her eyes at his question and just chalking it up to a 'clueless Goku' moment.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot." He said nervously, rubbing the back of his head nervously and give a mental sigh of relief.

Thank god for simple explanations.

Rolling her eyes at what she thought was his forgetfulness, Bulma continued her explanation as though he never spoken.

"Anyway, yeah, his old castle was destroyed, but someone's rebuilt it, and I'm betting that it was Emperor Pilaf." She said, making him feel kind of stupid for not reaching that same conclusion himself.

"Great, now, um... Where's Pilaf's Castle again?"

-----------------

A/N 1 : For cryin out loud, why the hell is it so hard to try and get anything to sound like Kami? Every time I typed what he would say, I would end up deleting it all and just rewriting it because it never seemed to sound like something he would actually say. Don't ask me why, but it was just a lot harder typing his conversations then it was for me to type anyone else's.

A/N 2: OK, there are actually several official heights for Goku (5'7", 5'8", 6'1", 6'2") (Ocean had their own official height releases, which, oddly enough, seemed to change every time someone asked them how tall he was, which is funny because they didn't even have the anime for that long...) I decided to go with the taller height, because Goku is supposed to be really tall, and 5'8" (which is the official Japanese height) isn't very tall to me.

OMG, I can't believe this chapter had so many A/Ns in it. O.O sorry about that, but I couldn't help but feel like I had to explain things sometimes. I usually don't change things that are so technical (like height), but as it's DBZ, and Goku is supposed to be really tall (he towers over most of the other characters) I kind of felt like I needed to give him a height that was actually tall instead of the 5'8" he actually has. Anyway, hopefully, now that I've explained so much of this crap, I won't have to explain it later...

Anyway, please remember that it will all pick up speed in a few chapters, so just hang in there.:D I hope you all liked this chapter, especially since it is kind of starting the plot (well, not exactly, it's leading to the start of the actual plot) Anyway, I need to go start typing the next chapter,

For now, just answer these to polls:

should i shorten and combine chapters 1,2, and 3 into 1 chapter?

1) Yes

2) No

3) Only chapters 1 and 2

4) only chapters 2 and 3

Should i shorten and combine chapters 4,5, and 6 into 1 chapter?

1) Yes

2) No

3) Only chapters 4 and 5

4) only chapters 5 and 6

Check profile for a poll, there is always one up.

Anyway, the more people review, the faster I'll update :3
