ok, so in this chap, we discover that cell is somehow back. yah, don't forget to review!!

Vegeta was heading back to the shower when he bumped into Mrs. Briefs, holding his son.

"Oh hi there, Vegeta!" she said happily. She then held out the baby to his father. "I was gonna give him back to Bulma, but she was busy in her lab, and now I find you, so could you take Trunks? I have to go soon...blah blah blah.."

Vegeta just stood there looking through the blond. He then stared at the baby for a moment before reluctantly taking his child.

"Thanks! I'll see you--"

Vegeta pushed past Mrs. Briefs before she could finish and continued walking to his destination.

Amy had just stepped out of the shower when she sensed Vegeta close-by. She wrapped a towel around herself, also one around her head, and stepped out into the hallway. Vegeta rounded the corner, carrying in his arms some of his clothes and --

/Trunks? I didn't think I'd ever see him carrying baby Trunks, at least other than on that DBZ card, but, that doesn't count.../ Amy came out of her thoughts when the two reached her.

Trunks squirmed in his father's arms, leaning towards Amy.

"Hi there Trunks!" Amy said to the infant demi-Saiyan. "I'm Amy." She shook one of his chubby little hands. When she tried to pull away, Trunks held on.

"Let go," Vegeta ordered his son. Trunks ignored him and squirmed even more.

"It's alright Vegeta," said Amy, smiling. "You mind if I hold him?"

Vegeta answered by placing Trunks in Amy's arms. The baby cuddled up against her and laughed when Amy tickled him with her tail.

Vegeta watched this exchange for a moment, then he remembered the reason he had come there. "You may wear these garments," he said, placing said articles in the shower room.

Amy was laughing with Trunks, suppressing the urge to say 'Are these garments for a man or a woman?' and said, "Thanks Vegeta! Um, you wanna take Trunks so I can get dressed?"

Vegeta weighed the pros and cons of Amy remaing in a towel, but nodded and took Trunks even though the pros *completely* out-weighed the cons.

Trunks' usual scowl returned to his face when he returned to his father's arms. Amy went into the shower room and got changed. When she returned to the hallway, Vegeta was still standing there holding Trunks who had begun doze off.

"Um...Why don't you go put Trunks down for a nap, and I'll go talk to Bulma," Amy suggested.

Vegeta agreed. "Meet me in my training capsule outside," he said, then walked away.

Goku and Nicole landed at the front door of Goku's house. Nicole had been silent during the flight, still deep in thought about the spaceship.

"Nicole?" asked Goku. "Are you okay? You've been quiet since we left Bulma's."

"Huh?" Nicole said, snapping out of her thoughts. "It's just bugging me that I can't figure out where I saw that ship."

Goku put his arm around her and led her into the house. "Don't worry about it. You'll figure it out," he said confidently.

"Yeah, ok," said Nicole. "Hey, can I wear your clothes again?"

Goku smiled, nodded, then he picked Nicole up and carried her upstairs. He brought her into his bedroom and set her down on the bed with a deep, passionate kiss. He then went to his closet and got out two of his training outfits, throwing one to Nicole.

It landed on her head and Goku laughed. "Sorry Nicole..." he said after he finished laughing.

A few minutes later and the two of them were dressed. Nicole had her dress rolled into a ball and she whipped it at Goku, hitting him right between the eyes. She started laughing uncontrollably. Goku just stood there with a dazed expression on his face.

He rubbed the area she had hit him, smiled, and said, "We should probably start looking for the ship."

Nicole agreed, still laughing. She walked over to the bedroom window, opened it, and flew outside, Goku right behind her.

They flew off to look for more of the spaceship.

Knock knock.

"What?" said Bulma. Amy walked into her lab. Bulma gasped when she saw Amy wearing one of Vegeta's outfits. "Uh, Amy. Um, what can I do for you?" she asked, her voice unsteady.

"I just wanted to tell you that Vegeta is putting Trunks down for a nap," said Amy, looking around. "Where'd everybody go?"

"Vegeta? Vegeta is putting Trunks to bed?" Bulma asked, bewildered. She shook her head. "Uh, everyone went to go look for the spaceship--"

"So that chunk of metal from a spaceship, do you know what it's made of?" Amy interrupted.

Bulma shook her head. "No. And I don't know how it broke apart. My strongest laser won't even nick the thing."

Amy walked over to where the piece was sitting on a table. "May I?"

"Sure."

Amy picked up the chunk, careful of the wires sticking out. "Do you need a small piece to look at under a microscope or something?"

"Yeah, but I won't be able to--" She broke off when she saw Amy's eyes glow red like before. Two small lasers erupted from Amy's pupils, both hitting one spot on the chunk of metal, cutting off a tiny piece of the object. Her empty hand caught the piece as she placed the chunk back on the table. She walked over to Bulma.

"Here you go," she said, placing the small piece in Bulma's hand. "Is that a good size?"

"Uh...Yeah..." Bulma said, her mouth open in shock.

Amy headed towards the door. "Tell me if you find anything. I'll be in Vegeta's training capsule." She left to meet the Prince.

Vegeta was already training under 500x normal gravity when Amy reached the capsule. She walked inside and stood just inside the door. Amy felt a slight pull towards the floor as she started to walk towards the center of the room. Her step was slowed due to the heavy gravity, and she found herself struggling to stay upright.

Vegeta stopped his shadow-boxing and walked over to Amy. "You're standing," he said. "Now fly."

Amy began to float off the floor, only making it about an inch above it. She powered up, but still couldn't get very high. She let out a yell as she powered-up fully and broke-free of the extra gravity, flying up to reach the ceiling.

Vegeta was impressed, though he didn't show it. "Attack me."

Amy lunged at the Prince, hitting him in the face with her fist. Vegeta grabbed her wrist and threw her to the floor.

"That was weak," he said, looking down at her. "Again."

Amy got to her feet and punched him again. The same thing happened. "I used up all my energy on flying," she stated.

"So now you're giving up?" Vegeta scoffed. He slammed a fist into Amy's gut.

Amy cried out and rolled onto her side, clutching her stomach. Vegeta moved to kick her, but she caught his foot, her aura flaring with new energy, and twisted his ankle, almost to the point of breaking it.

Vegeta lost his balance and fell to the floor. Amy then flipped onto her feet and jabbed her elbow into Vegeta's chest, cracking his armour. "I don't give up that easily," she said, removing her elbow from his chest. She stood up and tried to catch her breath.

Vegeta smirked and stood up. He powered-up and came at Amy full-force.

The sky was dark and the stars were brightly shining when Krillin, Trunks, Gohan, Goku, and Nicole touched down at Capsule Corp.

"You think Bulma found out anything?" asked Krillin, opening the door.

"I don't know," replied Trunks. "But I hope that what I found will help." He took out a small, green chunk of --something-- and turned it over in his hands. It was firm, but squishy, and he had found it amongst a thick, green goo, which he had taken a sample of.

"Do you think she'll have anything for us to eat?" Goku asked.

Everyone sweatdropped.

Nicole looked from Krillin to Trunks to Gohan. "Hah!" she laughed. "You're all sweatdropping!!" They all gave her a look and sweatdropped more. Nicole continued to laugh as they walked into Bulma's lab.

Amy and Vegeta were coming down the hallway and walked into Bulma's lab. Everyone turned to look at the two Saiyans. Vegeta's chest was exposed due to the absence of the front of his shirt and armour. His flesh was bruised and bloodied. He had blood coming from a wound on his forehead, and bruises on his face. His gloves were holey, so were his pants, revealing cuts and bruises. Amy's armour was gone, blown-off from the looks of her charred top. Her sleeves had been completely torn off and her arms were bruised and cut. Her pants were now ripped shorts, showing her beat-up legs, and the fur on her tail was caked and matted with blood. Her face was the only part of her unscathed.

"Hey Amy!" said Nicole. "You look like you had fun."

Amy grinned. "It was awesome! We trained under 500x gravity at first, and then we got up to almost 800x. Oh, I did that cool move we saw in that movie, you know the one with the thing?"

Nicole nodded. "And that guy, right?"

"Yeah! And that's how Vegeta got that gash on his forehead," Amy said proudly. "But then he countered with a blast and that's how I lost my armour."

"Funky," said Nicole. "All I got to do was fly around all day looking for a spaceship. But I got to see a dinosaur!"

"Cool! I wanna see one!" Amy said. "Hey Gohan! Can we meet Icarus?"

Gohan, who had been looking back and forth between the two, a little scared, said, "Uh, sure..."

"Yay!" Amy and Nicole said together.

Everyone was giving them looks and sweatdropping.

"Hah!" Amy laughed. "They're sweatdropping!"

Nicole nodded. "I know! They were doing it before too!"

Both girls continued laughing, then Amy abruptly stopped. "Did you guys find anything?" she asked, serious.

Trunks blinked at her sudden mood change and nodded. "I found this -" he handed the green chunk to Bulma - "and I sensed a power that seemed familiar, but it was different."

"Yeah," said Krillin. "Me and Gohan sensed it too."

Nicole rubbed her head. "It pinged me..."

Everyone looked at Nicole.

"Anyway," said Amy. "Bulma, did you find out anything new from that chunk I cut off?"

Bulma nodded. "It's made from the same alloy as the Saiyan space pods."

"How come you couldn't tell that before?" asked Krillin.

"Because it's coated in some sort of protective substance that doesn't register on any of my instruments," explained the blue-haired woman.

--------PING!--------

Everyone but Bulma looked up. Nicole sighed in pain, but it was getting better.

"Whoa! What a huge power!" exclaimed Krillin.

"It feels.....wrong..." said Amy.

Goku nodded and instant transmissioned outside. Amy powered up and followed him through the door, the rest behind her.

Amy flew up to where Goku was, high above Capsule Corp. "It's gone."

"Yeah," Goku said. "How's Nicole?"

Said person had just flown up and "stood" beside Goku. "I good. It's starting to hurt le--"

--------PING!--------

She was interrupted by a large power that was slowly diminishing.

"Piccolo," Amy and Goku said together.

Nicole looked at them. "Stay off his frequency, Amy!"

Amy laughed and flew down to where Krillin and the others were looking around for the power. "Did you guys sense where it went?" Everyone shook their heads. "Oh, well I'm gonna go grab Piccolo." She flew off to find the Namek.

"Piccolo?" said Gohan. Neither he nor Trunks and Krillin had sensed him.

"He's pretty far away, and his power is getting lower," Goku said as he and Nicole landed.

"Will he be okay Dad?" Gohan asked, worried.

"I'll be fine."

Everyone turned as Amy landed, holding Piccolo up with an arm around his waist. He didn't have his cape or turban, and looked like he had been in a tough battle.

"Yeah, he's just a little sore from getting his ass whooped by Cell," Amy said.

Jenn had fallen asleep on the couch in Amy and Nicole's living room. Her eyes fluttered open and she sat bolt upright.

"Damn," she said. "My car's still at the school, well, where the school used to be..." She then fell back asleep.
