"I had a feeling I'd find you up here." Vegeta said calmly. "Keeping an eye on him?"

"I have a bad feeling, something dangerous is going to happen." Piccolo said. "It's a good thing Goku is coming back for the tournament."

"True, it's about time I prove to that clown who the true strongest warrior is." Vegeta said confidently.

"We both know that he's been training for this, it won't be easy for you to beat him." Piccolo said. "Actually, how are they doing?"

"Goten and Trunks, they're improving." Vegeta said with a smirk. "I'm actually excited to see their match."

"Ready Goten?" Trunks asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to win this one Trunks." Goten said with a grin.

The moment Goten said that, the two half-saiyans transformed and flew towards each other. Goten threw a punch towards Trunks only to have him disappear and land a kick from behind Goten sending him flying into the wall of the gravity chamber.

"You fall for it every time Goten, at this rate you won't last two minutes in the tournament." Trunks said before noticing a blue glow. "Wait, is that?"

"Ha." Goten said launching his Kamehameha at Trunks only to have the purple haired boy dodge the beam. Suddenly Goten slammed his fist into Trunk's face and sent him flying into another wall.

"Have you determined when he's going to make his next move?" asked a purple figure.

"He's going to want the power from the strongest fighters in the world, he's likely going to send his men to the world martial arts tournament." said a red figure.

"I see, that should be fine." the purple figure said. "Kibito we will enter as well."

"Of course, are we going to work with them as well?" Kibito asked.

"Possibly, it depends on how powerful they are." the purple figure said calmly.

"Thanks again for letting me stop by Bulma." Chichi said calmly.

"It was no problem Chichi, we've been friends since we were kids." Bulma said.

"All Goten's been talking about is how much he misses his brother." Chichi said. "It's only been two days but those two are extremely close."

"Well you know how much he resembles Goku, and Gohan is the only person like that in Goten's life." Bulma said. "It makes sense he would miss him."

"I know, and I miss him too." Chichi said. "Tomorrow I'm going to call and see how things are going."

"Oh Vegeta, I didn't know you were coming." Dende said.

"I was just talking with Piccolo about something, I'll see you at the tournament." Vegeta said before flying off of the lookout.

"He's changed a lot since Namek." Dende said. "He might be more protective of the earth than Goku is."

"I wouldn't quite go that far, but he's definitely one of its greatest protectors." Piccolo said calmly.

"You're right, it's definitely a change for the better." Dende said.

"That aside, the tournament this year is going to be interesting." Piccolo said. "Though with our luck Goku will end up against Vegeta in the first match."

"That would be interesting." Dende said calmly. "Still it's hard to believe that he's only coming back for the tournament."

"That's just the kind of person Goku is." Piccolo said calmly. "It's about time I get some training in."

"Right, I'll keep an eye on things for a while." Dende said calmly.

"Mom, do you think Korin has any senzu beans?" Trunks asked weakly. "Goten and I kind of overdid it today."

"You two are just like your fathers." Bulma said. "Still you need to learn to take it easy."

"We can't, we need to get strong enough to beat Gohan and dad." Trunks said.

"Yeah, we can't take it easy." Goten said with a weak grin.

The moment he said that, Goten and Trunks collapsed.

"Chichi, could you help me get these two into their room?" Bulma asked as Chichi walked into the room.

"What did they do?" Chichi asked calmly.

"Trained until they dropped, what else would you expect?" Bulma said while picking up Trunks.

"You're right, I just wish that Goten had picked up a few of my habits instead of just Goku's." Chichi said while picking up her son.

"Hey I just had an idea." Bulma said. "Why don't you enter?"

"Me, we both know that wouldn't end well." Chichi said. "I haven't fought in a long time, I taught Goten a little but I'm not the type to fight."

"I know, but you could still try it for fun." Bulma said. "Besides it's where he declared his love for you."

"You're right, I'll think about it." Chichi said. "I'll see later Bulma."

"No problem Chichi." Bulma said. "Feel free to stop by any time."

Suddenly Vegeta landed in front of the building.

"Oh hello Vegeta." Chichi said calmly.

"What do we owe the pleasure of this visit?" Vegeta asked quickly.

"I was just talking with Bulma, I'm heading back now." Chichi said calmly.

"Chichi, you should take my suggestion. It might be fun." Bulma said mischievously.

"I'll call tomorrow Bulma, after I talk to Gohan." Chichi said throwing a capsule and having a plane appear.

"No problem just let us know how he's doing." Bulma said.

"Of course." Chichi said before flying off in the plane.

"What was that about?" Vegeta asked.

"We were just talking about before you arrived." Bulma said. "It was different."

"That would be obvious." Vegeta said calmly. "I'm going to train."

The moment he said that, Vegeta walked into the gravity chamber.

Some things never change, Bulma thought with a smile.

"Goku are you sure you want to go back for the tournament?" King Kai asked. "You only get one day, wouldn't you rather spend it with the people you love, plus Gohan won't even be there."

"I know, Baba explained that." Goku said. "Still, everyone I know always meets up at the tournament, and I can use Instant Transmission to see Gohan while I'm on Earth."

"I suppose, but just be careful when you meet Vegeta. He's been training hard to defeat you." King Kai said.

"I know, I'm looking forward to a match with him." Goku said with a grin.
