It was a quiet afternoon in the former bustling city known as West City. The town was eerily quiet, and rightfully so the young dark-haired boy thought as he hovered over the ruins of the city. As the wind blew, causing the young man's orange shirt to flow in the wind, Gohan couldn't help but remember what the town had looked like before the androids had risen. Gohan faintly remembered the stories his father told of the times he had come to West city to find Bulma to get the Dragon Balls.

Most days Gohan hovered over the world looking down in anger at his inability to stop the androids, but today, today was different. The androids were dead; the earth freed... however Gohan could not stop the feeling that the freedom he felt was not entirely true. He felt like there was something, someone out there just waiting to attack. Trunks always told him he worried too much but Gohan couldn't help it, the lack of worrying could lead to death.

"Gohan!" Videl shouted

At the sound of the voice of the short-haired young woman Gohan had rescued weeks before against the androids, he could not help but smile and feel a bit exhilarated.

"What is it?" Gohan yelled back

Gohan looked back when he did not get an answer to see the girl flying towards him. His smile only got bigger until it turned into a laugh as he remembered the past few weeks when he and Trunks taught Videl to bring out and manipulate her Ki.

"Trunks is looking for you" Videl said when she reached him.

"What for?!" Gohan asked, surprised

"I don't know." Videl scoffed

"Ok, I'll go talk to him" Gohan said

Videl couldn't but feel a twinge of envy as Gohan disappeared so easily and so quick that she couldn't follow.

...

Videl couldn't help but feel anxious as she flew towards the place she had buried her father after his "challenge" with the androids. The challenge had taken place 10 yrs ago, right around the time Videl had turned 16. Her father was forced to challenge the androids thanks to the thousands of fans who spent their time and risked their lives to go to Videl's home and beg him to do so. Looking back Videl was both sad and pissed; however, she couldn't help but feel satisfied now that the androids were dead.

...

"Trunks?!" Gohan shouted as he reached capsule corps with his thoughts on Videl and lifting...

"Gohan! Come quick!" Trunks shouted snapping Gohan out of his thoughts

Gohan immediately took off towards the sound of Trunks' voice, wondering if maybe the enemy Gohan thought was lurking in the shadows was here. As he rounded the corner of the hallway that lead into what was formerly Bulma's lab Gohan lost his balance and fell on the floor at the sight before him. Gohan's jaw hung open as he saw the mess of the lab and Trunks standing in the middle of a pile of books and journals with a mischievous grin on his face.

"What the hell Trunks," Gohan shouted, "You had me scared to death!"

"Sorry. Sorry," Trunks said with a chuckle, "But I found some of my mom's old journals"

"So... you found some journals and then found the need to scare me to death?" Gohan asked with a look of disbelief

"Haha I said I was sorry" Trunks said with a smile

"But," Trunks continued before Gohan could say a word, "I found a way to undo the damage caused by the androids"

"What?! How?!" Gohan exclaimed

"It's simple," Trunks exclaimed, "We use the dragon balls!"

"Trunks, you know we can't because Piccolo is dead" Gohan said with a serious look.

"Day 30," Trunks began to read from his mother's journal, "We've arrived on Namek to find the dragon balls..."

Gohan's eyes widened as memories of the past went through his mind. Memories of Frieza, Zarbon, Dende, Vegeta, and Krillin; memories of the planet known as Namek. Gohan couldn't stop the tears from flowing down his face as he remembered the fights on Namek, the size of the Dragons balls and most importantly the courage his father and Piccolo showed against Frieza.

"Gohan, are you alright?" Trunks inquired

"Y-yeah, I'm fine, just some old memories" Gohan responded

"However, the Namekian planet was destroyed and the Nameks have found a new home, so..." Gohan trailed off

"So... I can create a program to find them!" Trunks exclaimed

"Y-you can?!" Gohan asked

"Just who do you think I am?" Trunks asked with a grin. "I am Trunks briefs, son of the smartest Woman in the universe!" Trunks continued

"Ok," Gohan said hiding a laugh, "How long will it take to find it?"

"Well the hardest part will be writing the program, buuuuut I already did... i just have to finish building the drones to send out to scan the known universe!" Trunks exclaimed

"No need!" Gohan said cheerfully

"Why not?" Trunks asked

"Well if you build a ship we can go out into space and find it that way!" Gohan responded

"That'll take forever!" Trunks shouted

"But it'll be fun" Gohan said with a grin

"I'll take your word for it" Trunks said doing his best to hold back from laughing

"You start building the ship and I'll go tell Videl!" Gohan exclaimed, feeling happier then ever

"Why tell Videl?!" Trunks shouted after his mentor

"Why not?" Gohan shouted over his shoulder

Trunks looked on in bewilderment as his mentor flew off into the sky.

...

Videl was sitting at her father's grave marker with his favorite scotch in her hand as she poured it on his grave, wishing she wasn't alone anymore. Almost as if he could read her mind, she felt the win coming from behind her as Gohan landed beside her. She looked back at the world's savior teary eyed trying not to cry in front of him.

"He was a good guy, or so Master Roshi said." Gohan said, hoping to cheer Videl up

"He was... when he didn't let his fame get to his head." Videl responded

"Trunks and i are planning to go out into space to find someone who can undo the damage done by the androids, maybe even bring back the people killed by them." Gohan said

"Really?" Videl asked

"Yeah," Gohan answered, "It's been used before, as a matter of fact earth had a person like that... but he's dead now."

Videl suddenly leaned over and put her head on Gohan's shoulder, feeling as if he could keep her safe, could help her somehow. Before she knew it happened Videl leaned up and kissed Gohan. Videl felt Gohan's arms wrap around her and hold her to him as Gohan kissed her back. Time seemed to stop as their kissed deepened and turned into something else, something different. The world shifted away as Videl's thoughts left her father and focused wholly on the man she was kissing. The man who could change his hair on a whim, and battled evil as if he was raised to do so.

...

What seemed like hours later Gohan looked at the woman who he hadn't been able to stop thinking about since he met her and marveled at her. She fought the androids knowing she couldn't win and yet still tried, simply put she amazed him. Videl reminded Gohan of his mother, yet at the same time did not... she had the body of a martial artist but, he reminded himself, she was as frail as a human girl as she a normal girl should. Gohan picked her up and their things and flew at top speed back to capsule corp to put Videl in the bed she has claimed weeks earlier.

...

Cell stalked the streets of an abandoned town with its thoughts on the super saiyans, Cell thought and thought about how he could defeat the Saiyans who had destroyed 17 and 18 and how he could still somehow fulfill his destiny.

...

Trunks' mind was solely on the blueprints his grandfather had made many years ago for a spaceship designed for interstellar travel as he made a list of what materials he would need and where to get them. Trunks finished writing his supply list, put his shoulder length hair up in a ponytail and flew from his house to get the parts he did not have. With any luck, Trunks thought, the ship would be ready in a week and this planet called Namek wouldn't be hard to find.
