ok, so here's the next chap. yah, and the tournament's gonna be coming up so if you guys have any ideas as to who should fight who, let me know in your review!! ty!

Amy's eyes snapped open and she lifted her head from Vegeta's chest.

Vegeta awoke and tightened his arm around her back. "Is that Kakarot?" He sat up and pulled Amy with him. "Frieza!"

Amy looked at Vegeta. "Yah. He and Nicole are hurt bad." Amy smiled. "Wanna go join the party?"

"Of course." Vegeta got out of bed and grabbed two Saiyan uniforms, minus the armour, for the two of them.

Amy stood and stretched. She took her clothes from her mate and they both dressed.

"They're almost fully-healed now, and there's two others with them at Dende's...." Amy said.

Vegeta watched, and felt, Amy's unease. "What do you know?"

Amy shook her head. "I'll tell you later..."

"Amy." Vegeta placed his hands on her shoulders, his voice stern.

"I promise, after we talk to them, I'll tell you what I can."

Vegeta knew Amy would tell him everything she could. Since their Bonding, Vegeta discovered Amy knew things that she couldn't possibly have known, even with her telepathic abilities. He was about to press a little more when their bedroom faded and turned into Kame's Lookout.

boof

Nicole's eyes fluttered and opened. She smiled as Goku's face came into focus. "Goku...You're...Not dead..." she managed to choke out as she tried to get up, but only got as far as lifting her head an inch off the ground.

"Take it easy. You're still weak from the fight." Goku held Nicole's shoulders so she couldn't try to get up again.

"Amy...." she muttered before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Goku carefully picked Nicole up. "I'm taking her home to rest." He then instant transmissioned to their room and placed the sleeping Nicole on the bed. He smiled at her before returning to Kame's Lookout.

Amy and Vegeta arrived at the Lookout just as Goku returned.

"Hey Goku! Wazuuuuuuuuuuuuuup?!" Amy exclaimed.

Goku made a Goku face. "Uh, hi Amy! Hey, Vegeta!" he said. He then noticed Dende. "Wow, Dende. When did you get so big?"

"Uh, he had a growth spurt a few years back..." Amy said.

"Oh," said Goku. "A few years?! But, we weren't even gone a day!"

"Kakarot, you've been gone for seven years," Vegeta said, crossing his arms. He wrapped his tail loosely around Amy's waist.

"Seven years?!" Goku's eyes widened. "But....how -? When did you get a tail?"

boof

Nicole sat up with a groan, her hand on her head. "Hey, this isn't my house," she said as she looked around the room.

It took Nicole a few tries before she got off the bed and headed for the bathroom. On her way down the hall, she passed someone. "Gohan?" She turned and looked up to see an older Gohan wearing a green and black outfit with a red cape, along with a pair of sunglasses and a white bandana on his head. "Saiyaman!" Nicole glomped Gohan.

"Nicole?" Gohan gave her a surprised look. "You don't look too good." He held up her hands which had dried blood caked all over them.

Nicole looked at her hands. "Looks like I got hurt worse than I thought, but I guess it's because I was out of it for the most part. Anyway, I'm going to get washed. Bye Gohan." Nicole gave a small wave before disappearing into the bathroom.

boof

"So, seven years have passed here, while in your world, it's barely been a day?"

"Right, Kakarot," Amy said. "Anyway, Shin , Kibito, what's up?"

The two of them turned to Amy. "How do you know us?" Shin asked.

Amy shrugged. "I have many skills."

Goku looked at Amy. "Did you just call me by my Saiyan name?"

Amy nodded. "I've been hangin' around Vegeta a lot...." she said, fingering the tail around her waist. "But, yah, so Shin -- can I call you Shin or do you prefer Supreme Kai? -- is it Babidi?"

Shin blinked. Kibito walked over and stood in front of Amy. "What do you know of Babidi?"

"I know that he's a wizard, son of Bibidi who created Buu." She stopped talking and laughed. "Sorry, but does anyone else see the humour in that?" She looked around at everyone. "You know, Bibidi, Babidi, and Buu?" She laughed again, then sang, "Put 'em together and what have you got? Bibidi- Babidi-Buu!"

Everyone looked at her, sweatdropping with their mouths gaping.

"Uh, so, what happened to Cell?" Vegeta said. He recovered quicker from Amy's ranting because he was used to it.

Goku blinked. "Well, ya see, it wasn't *just* Cell. It was, um, him and Frieza did a dance around a pink-blob-with-a-head and then they became one..."

"O...K...Amy?" Vegeta turned to his mate for a translation.

"Oh, I guess Frieza and Cell learned the Fusion Dance and Buu is acting like a glue to keep them together for longer than thirty minutes....Sound about right Shin?"

"Uh....sure..." replied the Supreme Kai.

boof

Nicole finished washing the blood from her hands and face, then went into a room to find some clean clothes. She found some pants and slipped a white shirt over her head. She didn't know if they were Goku's or not, they were clean. She then ran through the house looking for Goku.

"Goku are you here?" Nicole said as she ran to the kitchen and found Gohan eating a bowl of rice. "Where's Goku!"

Gohan fell off the chair in surprise to Nicole's yelling. "I don't know, I didn't know he was back," Gohan replied as he got up off the floor.

"I want my Goku!" Nicole whined as she tugged on Gohan's sleeve.

Gohan then sensed something. "He's at Dende's...I'd take you but Videl is coming over to learn how to fly."

"Videl? Now I know what's different about you! You're older, but I was only gone a day." Nicole plopped down on the chair beside Gohan with a confused look on her face.

"It was only a day your time, but seven years passed here."

"Oh, Ok." Nicole shrugged. "I'll tell you what, you teach me some attacks and I'll keep quiet when Videl gets here." She had a sly grin on her face.

"Ummm...Well, uhhh..." Gohan started.

"Great! It's a deal then." Nicole jumped up from the table.

boof

"Ok, Oh! And the Fusion Dance is when two people do the same dance, like a mirror, and then they say 'FU-SION-HA!' and they fuse into one being. And Buu is a pink dude-thingy who's really powerful and likes candy." Amy stopped talking to breathe. "Anyway, I'm gonna go see how Nicole's doing while you guys talk about the stuff and things." She kissed Vegeta hard on the mouth. Then she blasted off and flew to the Earth.

Dende turned to Shin. "Tell us about this new threat."

boof

Gohan was teaching Videl how to control her energy, while Nicole was watching a little Goku come up to her.

"Hi, I'm Goten."

"Hiya Goten. I'm Nicole, wanna show Videl how we can control our energy," Nicole said with a smile.

"Ok! I was so bored listening to Gohan tell that girl what I already know."

They both walked over to where Gohan was still trying to explain how to fly. "So Videl, how's it going?" Videl just glared at her. "Wanna see how I control my energy?" Nicole asked with a grin.

"Not now!" Gohan pleaded. "Just wait until Videl and I are finished."

"Fine," Nicole replied cooly while her tail snapped the air.

"Hey cool, you have a tail!" Goten exclaimed.

"Yah, I kinda forgot about that."

Videl just gaped at Nicole. "What are you?" she asked.

"I don't know....Maybe you should ask Gohan." Nicole had a sly grin on her face.

"Nicole, will you please go do something while I teach Videl?"

"Alright, alright." Nicole floated into the air, when she caught a glimpse of Amy, who slowed down and floated beside Nicole.

"Wazzzuuup?!" Amy asked as soon as she got there.

"Wazzzuuup?!" Nicole replied.

They both laughed.

"So, how was your fight with Cell?" Amy asked.

"It hurt....How'd you know I fought Cell?" Nicole said.

"Well, considering I was just fighting him when I was a feral Super Saiyan while he had the remote and then he pushed the button and disappeared but I didn't disappear and you and Goku did and when you came back I felt that you two were hurt badly and then you were healed and Shin took Cell away, I just put two and two together and got the Fusion Dance."

Nicole gaped at Amy. "That was a nice rant."

"Thanks. I've been practicing," Amy said proudly.

"Fusion Dance?"

"Yah, well, Cell and Frieza know the Fusion Dance and so now they're fused, but they can hold it for longer than thirty minutes because one of the Buu's is keeping them together," Amy explained. "So, have you seen Saiyaman yet?"

Nicole nodded. "Yes! I've been screwing with his head. So, we were gone for seven years?"

"Yeah. Shin and Kibito are at Dende's right now explaining stuff. Kakarot and Vegeta are there too. Oh! And the Tournament's coming up soon, you gonna enter?"

"Oh yeah!" Nicole said. She started to fly back to where Goten was playing when something hit her. She turned back to Amy. "Did you just call Goku, Kakarot??"

"Yes."

Nicole grew angry. "He's *not* Kakarot!! He's my Son-kun!!!"

Amy smiled. "No he's not. We're in the dubbed."

"But.....Oh yeah," Nicole said, calming down. "Then he's my GOKU!"

Amy nodded. "Yes Nicole, he's your Goku," she humoured her. "You just hang around Vegeta for seven years and see if you'll still call him Goku all the time. No, wait. Vegeta would probably kill you. No, wait. That's not necessesarily a bad thing....."

Nicole growled and lunged at Amy. She easily dodged, laughing. Nicole began chasing Amy through the sky.

Videl had just finished controlling her energy for the first time when she looked up and saw two girls with tails flying around at incredible speed. The one was being chased, her maniacal laughter floating down to Videl's ears, while her pursuer shouted angrily.

Gohan saw them also and sweatdropped. "Uh, don't pay any attention to them, Videl."

"Does *everyone* but me know how to fly?" Videl asked rhetorically.

"Well, uh....I think that's enough for today," Gohan said. "We'll continue tomorrow, okay?"

Videl looked at him angrily. "Fine. But you're not gonna stop teaching me until I can fly like them," she said, pointing to the sky.

"Alright. No problem," Gohan said quickly.

Videl got out her capsule-copter and went home.

Nicole had stopped chasing Amy and just floated there, glaring at her friend. "I am *so* gonna get you..."

"Sure you are," Amy replied, smirking.

"Well, d-, I'll get Goku to get you!"

Amy laughed. "Right, cause you know he always fights girls for no reason..."

"There's a reason," Nicole said quietly. "You're mean!"

Amy laughed again. Nicole laughed a little also. "So, you wanna screw with Gohan's head some more?" Amy asked.

Nicole nodded. "Do you think Bulma will make me a Saiyaman outfit?"

"Probably, I'll ask her for ya. I was gonna go spar with Trunks today, so yeah," said Amy.

"Is Future Trunks still here?" Nicole asked as they descended to the ground.

Amy shook her head. "No, but if we need him to fight we can contact him."

"K! How?"

They landed near Goten and Gohan. "I'll tell ya later," Amy answered. "Gohan, you should get up to Dende's and see what's going on --" She stopped and seemed to be listening to something. She nodded, then said, "Nevermind, Kakarot's on his way with the Supreme Kai and Kibito."

"What's 'Kakarot'?" asked Goten.

"It's *not* Kakarot!" Nicole exclaimed. "He's GOKU!!"

Amy laughed and Gohan sweatdropped. "Same difference," she said. "So. There's what, like seventeen days 'til the Tournament?"

Gohan blinked. "Uh, yeah. That's right."

"Cool!" said Nicole. "I'm gonna wear a Saiyaman outfit for it!"

"What?!" Gohan exclaimed.

He was about to say more when Vegeta, Goku, Kibito, and Shin landed. Goku introduced everyone, except Goten who was hiding behind Gohan's cape.

"Ha! Shin!" said Nicole. She walked to Goku and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Amy was being mean to me....She kept calling you 'Kakarot!'"

Amy burst out laughing. "Yeah, and then she said she'd get you to beat me up!" More laughter.

Nicole looked up at Goku. "Please! Just, like, rough her up a little?"

Amy and Vegeta exchanged knowing looks. "Hey, I'll fight ya Goku," Amy said.

"Whoa! Uh, why don't we talk about this later? Shin, Kibito, please tell Gohan and Nicole what you told us," Goku said.

"Uh....Right, Goku," said Shin. "A long time ago, there was an evil wizard called Bibidi. He created a being known as Majin Buu, a powerful being that Bibidi used to begin the systematic destruction of the universe. Majin Buu soon grew almost too powerful for Bibidi to control, so the wizard placed a spell on Buu while he was resting. Bibidi placed Buu inside a coccoon, only awakening him when needed. During one of Majin Buu's dorment states, I destroyed Bibidi. But, unbeknownst to anyone, Bibidi had a son, Babidi, also a wizard. Now it seems Babidi has resurrected Majin Buu by joining him with Frieza and Cell."

"And with Cell's ability to, uh, suck up people, Buu will be fueled well," said Amy. "But why Frieza?"

"Probly cause you need two for the Fusion Dance?" suggested Nicole.

"But Buu and Cell would be two..." Amy replied.

"Right...I don't know." Nicole shrugged.

"Well, we can figure that out later," said Goku. "But for now, Shin is holding Cell."

"So, what, we just put this out of our minds until you can figure out what Majin Buu or Babidi are up to?" Amy asked Shin.

"Ha!" laughed Nicole. "Bibidi Babidi Buu!"

"See, I'm not the only one who gets it," Amy said. "I told them it was funny, but they just sweatdropped at me."

"Yah, they do that a lot...." said Nicole. "See! They're doing it again."

Shin cleared his head and turned to Goku. "Kibito and I will watch Cell. We will try to find a way to separate Frieza and Cell from Buu, they will be weaker that way."

"Alright," Goku agreed.

The Supreme Kai and Kibito vanished.

"Kakarot, why didn't you just destroy them during your battle?" asked Vegeta.

"Well, uh, I'm not sure..." said Goku.

Nicole spoke up. "He was kinda almost dead and his power level was lower in our world than it is here. Why didn't *you* destroy Cell when he was here?" Nicole retorted.

"I would have," Vegeta growled. "But Amy wouldn't let anyone near him."

"Right....." Nicole rolled her eyes.

Vegeta uncrossed his arms and glared angrily at Nicole. "Control your mate, Kakarot, or you'll no longer have one."

Nicole stuck her tongue out at Vegeta. He took a step towards her, causing her to "eep!" and hide behind Goku.

Meanwhile, Amy had noticed Goten standing shyly behind his brother. He motioned for her to come over.

"What is it?" Amy asked quietly once she reached him and crouched.

Goten pointed at Goku. "Is that a 'Kakarot?'"

Amy laughed. "Yeah, that's Kakarot. It's also a Goku. Your father."

Goten's eyes widened. Gohan turned around, having noticed Goten behind him.

Goku also noticed. "Hey Gohan? Who's the little me behind you?"

Gohan stepped aside, fully exposing Goten. Amy gave Goten a light shove. "Go on, it's okay."

"I'm Goten," he said quietly.

Goku knelt down on one knee. "Hello, Goten."

Goten smiled and leapt onto Goku's shoulder. "Daddy!"

Nicole clapped and smiled. "Kawaii! Kawaii!" She then turned to Amy. "So, how come you couldn't beat Cell? And why wouldn't you let anyone get near him?"

"The stupid bastard had the remote and disappeared," answered Amy. "And I couldn't let Vegeta, Gohan, or Trunks near him because I knew he was too powerful for them, plus, I was feral at the time and didn't need anyone's help to defeat my opponent."

"O.....k...." said Nicole. "So, what was up with you going feral?"

"I'll tell ya later 'cause I'm gonna go see Trunks now." Amy turned to leave.

"N - But you keep saying that!" Nicole cried. She then grabbed her head. "Ow. Stop spinning."

"I'm not.....You need a senzu?" Amy pulled two out of her glove. "And give one to Kakarot, too."

"K!" Nicole took the beans. She ate one and walked over to Goku. She turned back to Amy. "It's *Goku*!"

Amy just ignored her and flew off to Capsule Corp. with Vegeta not far behind her.

Nicole turned back to Gohan who was watching Goku and Goten play and grinned. "So Gohan, when are you going to teach me some stuff?" Nicole asked.

"Oh....Well.....Ummmmm..."

"Come on Gohan, you promised," Nicole whined.

"Well what would you like to learn?"

Nicole took a deep breath and began listing the different things she wanted to know how to do. "I wanna learn the Genki Dama, and the Kamehameha, and Solar Flare, and Beam Cannon but I guess Piccolo would be the one to teach me that, and I wanna learn Vegeta's techniques but I know he wouldn't teach me because, well he's Vegeta..."

"O...k....Let's make this easier," Gohan said while holding up a hand to silence Nicole. "What do you want to learn *first*?"

Nicole crossed her arms in thought. "Well I guess I want to learn how to control my Super Saiyan ability."

"You went Super Saiyan?"

Nicole nodded. "Yah, it was in my world when I was fighting ummm...Cell and it just kinda happened and now I wanna learn how to go Super Saiyan at will like you and Goku."

"Alright so let's start with that." Gohan took his sunglasses and bandana off. "Can you go Super Saiyan right now?"

"Well I guess maybe if I tried hard enough," Nicole replied, poking her index fingers together.

"Or maybe you just need a little encouragement!" Gohan got into a fighting stance and went Super Saiyan. He had a sly grin on his face. "Come on Nicole, let's see what you've got."

"Alright. Go easy on me ok..." She also got into a fighting stance and Gohan ordered her to make the first move.
