"Gohan! Gohan!" Steven called as he raced up the hill to his honorary cousin's house. The little boy was outside kicking a bright red ball around when Steven came running up to him.

"Steven!" Gohan cheered as he saw the half gem approach. He picked up the ball he had been kicking around and held it up. "Mama got me this new ball," he explained holding it up, "Wanna play with me?"

"I actually came to show you something I found today," Steven explained before presenting the mirror before him, "It's a magic mirror! It can repeat things that you say and respond to you!"

"Really?" the little half Saiyan asked, looking at the mirror. He cocked his head to the side as he peered into it.

Suddenly an image of Steven appeared and shouted, "Gohan!" The boy jumped back and yelped, tail shooting straight up in alarm.

"No no! It's ok! It didn't mean to scare you," Steven explained, "It was just trying to say hello! Right, Mirror?"

The mirror flipped to an image of Steven saying "Right" before flipping to an image of Lars hissing Steven's name.

Gohan tentatively stepped forward again. "Are you sure it's ok? Dad said to be careful with magical objects," he asked.

"Yeah it's totally cool. Vegeta even let me have it!" Steven assured. Gohan's eyebrows rocketed to his hairline. Vegeta usually didn't mess around with stuff like this. If he thought it was a threat he would have destroyed it. If he really let Steven have it, then it couldn't be that bad.

"If you say so…" Gohan said, "I guess it's nice to meet you, Mr. Mirror."

The mirror repeated Gohan saying "It's nice to meet you" then flipped to an image of the number two, then back to the clip of Steven shouting "Gohan!"

"That's not all it can do," Steven said, "Go ahead and show him Mirror!" He held out the Mirror in front of Gohan. For a few moments nothing happened. The almost five year old leaned in expectantly. Then the mirror suddenly switched to an image of Steven blowing a raspberry. Gohan snickered at the rude noise.

"Come on! We can go have some fun down by the beach and show the mirror around town," Steven said, heading back down the hill. Gohan followed after him.

Later that evening...

Steven And Gohan ran to the door of the house. They couldn't wait to share their discovery with the three warriors. They had fun all day, and the mirror had shown them all sorts of tricks, like projecting images outwards and playing back clips at different frequencies to sound like music. Steven was sure they would just love to see it, Goku especially. The mirror itself seemed reluctant, however.

"Hey guys!" Steven called as they ran through the door. The three aliens looked up from what they were doing. Vegeta was lounging on the couch, Piccolo was meditating, and Goku was sitting on the counter eating a bag of Chaaaaps.

"Ah there you are Steven!" Goku greeted, "You've been gone all afternoon without a trace. I see you and Gohan have been hanging out."

"Yeah! Were you able to find the turtle shell?" Steven asked.

"Afraid not. Honestly, I have no idea where it could have gone to," Goku said hopping off the counter.

"I bet it's back on the pervert's island," Piccolo muttered, opening one eye.

"Anyways, how was your day guys?" Goku asked, "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah! We've been playing with this magic mirror Steven found!" Gohan excitedly proclaimed. Goku's smile suddenly fell and all eyes turned to the two boys.

"Magic...mirror?" Goku repeated.

"Yeah, it can talk and repeat stuff it's seen!" Steven exclaimed presenting it. The mirror didn't do anything. "Come on, you can do it! Please? For me?" Steven urged. Finally it activated, flipping to an image of Steven blowing a raspberry. "You couldn't resist, could you?" Steven said with a chuckle.

The z fighters were not so amused, not even Goku. They all wore wary expressions. "Steven, you need to get rid of that thing," Piccolo said seriously as he got up, "Where did you even get that?"

Looks of confusion crossed Steven and Gohan's faces. "But why? I found it while looking for the turtle shell. Vegeta said I could have it!" he said.

Piccolo and Goku turned to Vegeta in confusion. "I-I wasn't paying attention, ok! I thought it was a regular old mirror!" he defended. He then pushed passed the two. "Fine. If I apparently started this thing, then I'm going to end it too," he growled, marching towards the two children, "Hand it over kids."

The mirror screamed "No!" and the two boys moved in front of it protectively. "What are you going to do with it?" Gohan asked.

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. Right now you two need to be as far away from it as possible," Vegeta said.

"Vegeta, Please no! It doesn't want to go away! Can't you hear it?" Steven said. The mirror continued to scream.

"Steven, Gohan, just give it to him. You don't know what could be controlling that mirror! It could be an evil spirit!" Goku explained.

"But Mr. Mirror's our friend!" Gohan pleaded.

"It's a mirror! It can't be your friend. Now give it to me or you two are going to be in big trouble!" Vegeta argued, reaching for it.

"No!" Steven shouted, "It wants to be with US!" With that he suddenly thrust his fist out, punching Vegeta in the gut and knocking the wind out of him.

Vegeta's eyes grew wide in shock, as well as Goku's and Piccolo's. Steven and Gohan stood still in fear. "I-I I'M SORRY!" Steven shouted. He then grabbed Gohan by the wrist and ran out the door.

The three aliens stood there in shock, letting everything that just happened sink in. Vegeta clutched his stomach as he regained his breath. "That little brat!" he hissed.

It was then that Piccolo and Goku fully realised what Steven had done...and their shock quickly turned to horror and they both rushed to calm down the short tempered Saiyan. "Vegeta...You need to calm down…" Piccolo said carefully.

"Vegeta, I know what you're thinking," Goku said in a panicked tone, "'Should I kill him?'"

"He punched me in the gut!" he growled.

"And the answer may surprise you!" Goku said, voice getting higher as he jumped between the door and the prince.

Vegeta took a deep breath before standing up. "You know...I think I'm actually kind of proud of him…" Vegeta said slowly. Piccolo and Goku looked at each other in confusion but relaxed slight.

"R-really?" Goku asked.

"Yeah…" Vegeta started, "...Too bad it's being overshadowed by all this UNYIELDING RAGE!" With that he suddenly bowled down Goku as he tore after the two boys. "GET BACK HERE YOU BRATS!" he shouted, "I'M GONNA SHATTER THAT MIRROR!"

No sooner than as Goku got up, the two remaining aliens were chasing after the prince of Saiyans. "Just don't hurt the kids!" Piccolo hollard after him.

…..

"I'M GONNA SHATTER THAT MIRROR!"

Steven jumped as he heard Vegeta's raging. He desperately tried to pull the gem out of the back of the mirror, but it wouldn't budge. "I can't get it out!" he cried.

"Here, let me try!" Gohan said, grabbing the mirror. He tugged as hard as he could on the stone. It popped out and the mirror shattered. The cracked gem floated out of his hand and to the tide. A glowing figure formed around it, then solidified and fell to the ground. The figure was blue and had a flowing sundress. The blue gem sat in the center of her back.

"She's...not a monster like the others! She's like my mom…" Steven whispered.

"That's what a gem looks like?" Gohan muttered, "Now I feel bad for calling her Mr. Mirror…"

She suddenly turned to them, her eyes pupilless. "Steven! Gohan!" she said, struggling to stand, "Thank you…I can't tell you how long I was in there. It's been so long since I've seen another gem. And I've never seen anything like you before Gohan."

"I'm a Saiyan, or actually half Saiyan…" Gohan explained.

"I've never met another gem at all actually…." Steven said, "Who are you?"

"I'm-"

"STEVEN! GOHAN!"

They turned to see the Z Fighters rounding the corner. Surprise came to their eyes as they saw the blue gem. "It's a gem! And it's not corrupt!" Piccolo announced.

"You!" the blue gem spat in rage. She raised her and three pillars of water shot at the Z fighters and pinned them to cliff face. "You left me in a box for years!" she accused, "And the moment you thought I might be alive, you tried to kill me!"

"We didn't know whether you were evil or not!" Goku defended.

"And nine times out of ten the inanimate object that can talk is usually evil," Piccolo pointed out.

"To be honest, I would have expected you to do the same in my position," Vegeta stated bluntly. The gem growled and closed her hand. The pillars pressed harder on them, the water spreading over their entire bodies and they began to struggle as they couldn't breath.

"NO!" Steven shouted, "Don't hurt them!"

"Daddy! Mr. Piccolo!" Gohan cried in fear, "LEAVE THEM ALONE!" He suddenly tackled the blue gem. She lost focus and dropped the warriors. When they fell to the ground they started coughing up water. She looked at the young boy in betrayal before shoving him off of herself. She then parted the ocean and extended a hand out to Steven. "Come with me Steven," she asked.

"Where?" he asked with uncertainty.

"Home," she said.

"But...My home is here!" he said.

She looked confused for a second before frowning. "Fine then," she said. She turned to the Z Fighters who were picking themselves up. "I am Lapis Lazuli!" she announced proudly, "and I am your prisoner no more!" With that, she disappeared into the sea.

Everything was quiet for a few moments. Gohan ran to check on his father and Piccolo. Vegeta stumbled over to Steven, still half drowned. "Steven…" he said between coughs, "You are in so much trouble!" Before Steven could protest, the tide pulled away from the shore as the ocean receded until there was nothing left. The prince and the half gem gaped at where the ocean once was. "...After we figure out how to fix this mess…" he growled.

"Daddy!" Gohan cheered and jumped into his father's arms as the Saiyan got up, "I'm so glad you and Mr. Piccolo are alright!"

"Of course! It'll take more than a little sea water to do us in!" the Saiyan assured.

"Dad? Am I grounded too?" the child asked nervously, twiddling his thumbs and looking away.

Goku's smile fell. "I'm afraid so. You did help release something that just stole the ocean after all. but if it makes you feel any better," he said as he looked out into the dry seabed, "After your mother finds out about this...I'm probably going to be grounded too…" Something on the ocean floor then caught the Saiyan's eye and he squinted at it. "Wait a minute…" he said, "...Is that the training shell?"

Aaaand I end this on a really stupid joke. Yay! So yeah, here's the rest of Mirror Gem. I know it's not word for word, or even includes everything from that episode, but I really only like keeping parts when I feel I can add something to them. That's really why I only do bits and pieces of episodes usually. Also, if you haven't noticed already, I'm a huge TFS fan. You are probably going to find more references to them scattered throughout these drabbles in the future, whether they were intentional or not. still I hope you enjoy this chapter. Let me know what you think!
