Cell hadn't been seen in almost two days. Even so, Goku and I had decided to stay in Super Saiyan. Because I figured that Cell had left Earth as a peaceful place, I took my girlfriend to Kame House so she could meet everybody during a reunion. Of course, she was startled by the teleportation of Instant Transmission, but she didn't faint or anything. She did try to stop her skirt from blowing upward, expecting a breeze that never came.
"Here we are, Coral!" I told her. "Welcome to Casa de Kame!"
"Wow," she gasped, seeing the serene little island for the first time. "It looks amazing!"
Roshi ran outside when he heard Coral's feminine voice. "Welcome!" he waved crazily. Then, he noticed the look on my face that said "don't you dare." Gulping, he asked, "What brings you here?"
"You must be Roshi!" My girlfriend ran up and shook his hand. "I've heard so much about you!"
"Really?" The hermit blushed
"Including that you're a dirty-ass pervert!" Coral smacked Roshi in the back of the head, making him fall on to his face. I tried not to, but I just had to laugh.
Goku walked outside when he heard the thump from Roshi hitting the ground. "What's going o-oh," he said. "Hi, I'm Goku. You must be Frui's girlfriend."
"I'm Coral." They shook hands as well.
"Is everyone else inside?" I asked the Saiyan.
"Oh, yeah, we're waiting for Vegeta and Trunks," Goku answered. "They decided to go into space and try out some new technique they created."
"You mean the prince guy and his son?" asked my girlfriend.
"How do you-"
"I told her everything about you guys," I explained.
"Even the Dragon Balls?"
"Even the Dragon Balls."
Goku lead us inside to the living room. As Goku had said, everyone but Vegeta and Trunks had arrived. Bulma was talking with Krillin in one corner. On the couch, Chiaotzu, Oolong, and Puar were chatting. Tien and Launch were in the kitchen, making some food (yeah, Tien knows how to cook in canon DBZ). Yamcha was asleep on a chair. I could sense Piccolo above the house, probably meditating. I could hear Chi-Chi mumbling something to Gohan upstairs.
"Hey, everyone!" I greeted. "Look who I brought!"
Everyone stopped talking and looked, excluding blue-haired Launch who didn't really care. Yamcha woke up and fell off the chair when he saw the beautiful blonde girl standing next to me.
"This is Coral Wizau, my girlfriend." She waved when I said her name.
Yamcha looked up, his jaw dropping. Bulma spawned a friendly smile. Krillin fainted because I had a girlfriend before him, causing a ding to be heard around the room and the Krillin Owned Count on the wall to go up. Oolong looked at Coral lustfully before joining Puar in laughing at Krillin. Roshi tried to peek at Coral's panties from behind her, but I put a wall of invisible ki in front of him so he couldn't get close enough. Chiaotzu just sat there quietly while he stared, drinking from a juice box (grape juice, to be specific).
"I've heard all about you guys!" Coral told them. "About how you all helped save the world against Piccolo and the Saiyans, and then when you saved the universe from Frieza. But...who are you?" She pointed at a certain black-haired bandit.
"Yam...Yamcha," he murmured, half in love and half surprised that she didn't know who he was.
"Frui, you didn't mention any Yamaha," she pouted.
"His name is Yamcha, and yes, I did tell you about him," I reminded her. Then, I whispered to her, "He's the one who was killed by a Saibaman." Outside, Piccolo laughed, obviously because he heard me.
"Oh, yeah!" Coral looked at Yamcha again. "Don't you dare hit on me." He nodded and closed his mouth.
"It's nice to meet you," Bulma said as she got up. "Frui hasn't said much about you, at least not to me, but I can tell that you're from West City based on your accent."
"You must be Bulma Briefs," Coral guessed. "You're from West City, too, right?"
"I live and work at..." That's all I heard because they walked outside to continue their conversation, leaving the rest of us behind. Then, Krillin woke up and asked, "Where'd the girls go?"
"They went outside," Tien stated from the kitchen. "They're both from West City." Then, he went back to keeping all three eyes on the stove.
"Okay. So, Frui, how did you meet her again?" The bald monk looked at me expectantly.
"Goku and I went to a place for driving lessons in West City three years ago," I explained. "Goku's instructor was an old guy, and mine was Coral. Of course, Goku and I just fooled around the whole time." I chuckled a bit, remembering our little who-can-go-higher contest.
"Yeah," the Saiyan added. "Gohan had to study that day, and Piccolo just didn't want to go. I gave Frui one of my plain red t-shirts and a pair of nylon shorts. I had on this crazy Hawaiian shirt that made me look like a surfer." Goku and I laughed some more, this time joined by everyone else in the room.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a furious Chi-Chi burst into the room. "Pipe down, Gohan's studying!"
"Sorry, Chi-Chi." Goku bowed his head apologetically.
"And why is your hair yellow?! Turn it back to black!" Goku reverted to his base form immediately. Then, Chi-Chi left the room.
"Phew!" Goku wiped some sweat off of his forehead and peacefully transformed into a Super Saiyan again. "Let's be a bit quieter so we won't need to face that again."
"Wow, Goku, even as a Super Saiyan, you're still afraid of your wife!" Oolong laughed, pointing to the Saiyan's hair. "You're acting like she's worse than Frieza or Cell!"
"She is when she's angry." Everybody but Oolong agreed with that. Realizing he was outnumbered, the pig sat down and quietly turned the television on to a fashion show.
"If only Yamcha could get a pretty girl like that!" squealed Puar. "He probably could, but he sucks at it!"
"Hey, I don't see you going out to find another cat," Yamcha remarked.
"Because I'd rather help you!" Puar turned into a giant hammer and slammed down on Yamcha's head to try knocking some sense into the former bandit. Everyone in the room laughed except for the unconscious Yamcha. Goku was trying to stay as quiet as possible, though, to avoid his wife yelling at him again.
Suddenly, Oolong shouted, "Everybody, look!" Pointing at the screen, the bipedal oinker had a scared look on his face.
Cell was on the screen. He'd come up through a circular hole in the runway, and he was rising up to the ceiling. A glowing ball of energy surrounded his body. A bunch of models and bystanders who were sitting there beforehand had already run off-screen.
"What's he doing there?!" I asked.
"Let's turn to another channel!" exclaimed Puar. Chiaotzu quickly grabbed the remote and started surfing the channels until he saw Cell's head coming out of the floor of a news station.
In the news studio...
Cell landed next to the hole that he'd come through and deactivated his shield. The scared news anchors behind him ran away from the monstrosity, unsure of what to do.
"Greetings, television viewers," announced the bio-android proudly on live TV. "My name is Cell. Now, I'm certain that most of you humans are confused about what you just witnessed, but there is something that I need to tell all of humanity."
Hearing that, the people working the computers and the cameras made the broadcast go to all channels controlled by ZTV (a major broadcasting company, similar to ABC), overriding all other shows. Millions if not billions of people were watching it live.
"As you may have previously heard, there have been reports of a monster near Gingertown," continued Cell. "That 'monster' was me. However, due to Gingertown's generous donations..." Cell chuckled. "...I have been able to achieve Perfection, the pinnacle of absolute strength and abilities. I know that many of you do not believe, so I will showcase my powers right now."
Without even looking, Cell raised his hand so that his palm was facing the wall behind him. Then, he shot a ki blast that was so bright that the screens showing it instantly turned entirely white. When the whiteness vanished, there was a large circular hole in the wall that seemed to continue through the air and into nearby buildings for over a mile.
"Now that I have Perfection, my next goal is to find a challenger worthy of my strength," Cell announced, secretly directing his statement at Goku and me. "In ten days on May 25, I will hold a tournament – let's call it the Cell Games – that will resemble your popular World Martial Arts Tournament. It will share all of the rules except that the Earth's fighters will come at me one-by-one and that killing is allowed. Theoretically, this gives you a better chance to beat me, as you'll be coming up fresh and I'll eventually tire from fighting. Also, if you have what it takes, you might actually be able to destroy me entirely, saving your planet and whatever else I choose to destroy in the future."
While Cell was talking, the CEO of ZTV had come upstairs. "What's going o-WHAT IS THAT?!" He immediately fainted only to be caught by an employee.
"Now to talk about the stakes. ("Steaks?!" exclaimed Goku. "Hush up!" remarked Oolong immediately.) If I win in the end or there are no challengers, the Earth will be destroyed immediately. If I lose, the Earth will be spared and I will leave the planet forever. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to prepare an area 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of what was once East City." Then, he quickly left through the hole he'd made. The camera could barely pick up his movement.
Puar turned off the television, knowing that Cell's sudden announcement was finished. Nobody spoke for what felt like forever as we sat there, thinking about what Cell had just told us.
The first one to talk was Tien. "Oh, shit! The food is burning!" He moved the pots off of the burners to prevent the food from getting worse. Launch was busy with something in the oven, so she didn't exactly help him.
The next one to speak was Goku. "Seriously, did he say something about steak?"
Hey, guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I really enjoyed writing it myself, even if it's not a chapter with a fight scene.
Frui finally introduced his girlfriend. Will they stay together? Will she die? Is Frui only fighting to keep her safe?
Cell has finally announced the Cell Games, but he's obviously not having it at the same location as in canon DBZ. Will this change the outcome? What about Vegeta and Trunks's new, unknown technique? Will Gohan be able to catch up to Frui and Goku in time? Will Gohan even participate in the Cell Games? Will Cell win?!

Hold on, that's not right.
Find out next time on Dragon Ball GT!
No, that's not it, either.
Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!
There we go.
Power Levels:
Coral: 6
Base Goku: 960,000,000
Cell's small energy blast: 60,000
Q: No way a SSJ could have a Power Level as low as 1,050.
A: Just like what Meghan Trainer said, it's all about that Base. Because Frui's Base form was so low back when he fought Raditz, his Power Level as a SSJ was also quite low. Remember, SSJ is a multiplier, not an addition, to the user's Power Level.
Q: Why do you throw Vegeta around like a piece of trash? He should have a bigger role.
A: I'm basing much of this story on canon. Vegeta got beat up a number of times in canon, so of course I'll have him get beat up here. However, don't get me wrong; I love Vegeta's character. Also, just to add a spoiler, Vegeta is going to have a redeeming action later.
Q: It is written that Dende says that he hates Krillin. That is not true at all. Krillin, along with Gohan, saved Dende, so Dende owes him.
A: It's a reference to TeamFourStar's DBZ Abridged. Basically, TFS Krillin is extremely annoying to TFS Dende, so I decided to steal the joke.
