Amy landed at Capsule Corp. and began jumping around and whooping for joy. "Yah! I beat you again!"

Vegeta landed just after her. He watched her display with his arms crossed.

Amy walked up to Vegeta, grinning. "I like my pizza with pepperoni, my spaghetti with lots of tomato sauce, and I like my rice wi--"

"Yes, yes, I know," growled Vegeta. "Now, what do you know?"

"About what?" Amy asked innocently. Vegeta growld again and eyed her impatiently. "Okay, okay. Well, the Buu that's here now isn't Mister Buu, so I guess I can tell you.....But, if Babidi is here, then maybe I can't...." She began pacing back and forth in front of her mate.

Vegeta grabbed her arm to keep her still. He then gently began to probe her mind. Amy relaxed and let him -- until he tried to enter that one part of her mind. Vegeta was thrown out of her mind and onto the ground.

"I.....Sorry, Vegeta," Amy said softly.

Vegeta didn't look at her. He just got up and flew away. Amy sighed. Trunks came out just then, he had seen what happened, though he didn't understand it.

"Hey, Amy," he said, walking to her. "What's wrong?"

Amy turned to him. "Nothing. You ready to try 150X gravity today?"

Trunks smiled. "Yah! Let's go!"

boof

"Ow!" Nicole cried when Gohan landed a hard punch to her stomach. She fell from the sky and landed hard on the ground, clutching her stomach. "I don't think this is working," she groaned.

Gohan de-transformed and landed next to Nicole. Goku rushed over and helped his mate up. "Are you alright, Nicole?" he asked worriedly.

Nicole smiled weakly. "Uh, yes?"

Goku held her and turned to Gohan. "What happened?" His tone held a slight a edge.

Gohan blinked, not used to his father's tone of voice. "We were training. She wanted me to teach her how to become a Super Saiyan at will."

A small, low, noise came from Goku. Not quite a growl, but it was equally threatening. "Just be more careful next time."

"But, Goku, I --" Nicole started.

------PING------

"Why's Vegeta's energy so high?" Gohan wondered aloud.

"I don't know, but he's getting close to a city...." Goku leaned down and kissed Nicole. "I'd better make sure he doesn't hurt anyone." He then flew off after Vegeta.

Gohan turned to Nicole. "What's up with my dad?"

"I don't know," Nicole said simply. "I guess he was just worried about me...Oh well. Hey Goten!"

Goten flew over to her. "Yeah?"

"Wanna team-up against Gohan?"

"Yeah!" Goten went Super Saiyan.

"Hey!" said Gohan. "That's not fair!"

Then Nicole went Super Saiyan and attacked him.

Trunks smiled. "Yah! Let's go!"

boof

Goku caught up to Vegeta just outside of a city. "Hey, Vegeta," he said, floating beside the shorter Saiyan.

"What do you want, Kakarot?" Vegeta didn't look at him and his voice wasn't as hard as usual.

"I just wondered what was wrong. Your power level was way up a minute ago..." Goku placed a hand behind his head.

"Amy's hiding something from me."

Vegeta's statement caught Goku off-guard, not used to Vegeta being so open. "What? What do you mean? How can she?" Goku asked. "I thought that through the Bond you'd know everything about her."

"I do." Vegeta turned to Goku suddenly. "But, there's a small part of her mind that is...secret, where I can't see anything."

"Oh, is that all that's bothering you?" said Goku. Vegeta glared at him. "Uh, I mean, Nicole's got the same thing, so I don't think there's anything to worry about."

Vegeta thought a moment. "You may be right, Kakarot. We'll see."

"I think it just has to do with their being from another world," said Goku.

Vegeta waved him away. "Now, if you'll excuse me, Kakarot, I intend to defeat you at the Tournament."

Goku smiled. "We'll just see about that, Prince."

Vegeta chuckled. "That's *King* now, Kakarot." He then flew away.

Goku face-vaulted. "When did he become a *King*?!"

Trunks smiled. "Yah! Let's go!"

boof

A Super Saiyan Gohan was cornered by Super Saiyans Goten and Nicole. His back was to a large rock-face. Suddenly, Nicole let out a loud yell and Gohan readied for an attack. But, she didn't attack. She instead flew high into the air and began crying out happily, doing flips and twists across the sky.

"I went SUPER SAIYAN!" Nicole kept repeating as she flew.

Goten and Gohan looked at Nicole, then each other, then back at Nicole, sweatdropping heavily.

Nicole suddenly stopped and flew back over to the brothers. "How'd I go Super Saiyan?"

Goten laughed while Gohan continued to sweatdrop. "Well, ummm...It's kinda hard to explain....You see, you've gone Super Saiyan before now you just need to..." Gohan trailed off when he saw Nicole switch forms with ease.

"Light on....Light off.....Light on....Light off...." Nicole said as she went from Super Saiyan to normal and back again. "Ok I'm done, can we train some more?" Gohan just blinked and sweatdropped more before nodding. "Alright! Goten you ready?" Nicole cheered as she powered up.

"Ready!" Goten replied as he did the same.

Gohan and Nicole were exchanging blows as they flew across the sky. Goten was just watching until he got bored and spoke up. "Hey Gohan! I wanna train too!"

Gohan stopped to look at his little brother. Nicole just kept on going and punched Gohan square in the face. Gohan fell to the ground, landing hard enough to detransform.

Nicole looked down at him in triumph. "Yah! You de-Super Saiyaned!! I rock!!!" She began doing a dance/flight of joy, flickering on and off her Super Saiyan-ness.

Gohan stood up, brushed himself off, went Super Saiyan, and blasted into the sky. He stretched out an arm and clothes-lined Nicole into the nearest rock-face. Nicole fell to the ground, unconscious and detransformed.

Gohan didn't have time to relish his victory as Goten came barrelling at him and the two began exchanging blows.

Goku came flying back then and landed by Nicole. He picked her up and glared up at Gohan. Glared? Goku? He then instant transmissioned them to his house. He lay Nicole on the couch in the den. He took a senzu bean from her pouch and fed it to her.

Nicole's eyes flutterd open and she looked up at Goku. "Hi!" she exclaimed as she sat up. "How come I'm here now?"

"Are you alright?" Goku asked. He didn't wait for a reply. "If Gohan hurt you....You shouldn't have been training like that yet. You could've gotten hurt!"

Nicole eyed Goku, confused. "I'm okay, Goku. And why shouldn't I train?"

Goku sat next to her on the couch. "I don't want you training with Gohan anymore," he said sternly.

"What?!" Nicole stood up, surprised. "I'll train with Gohan if I want to....What's wrong with you?"

Goku stood up also. "Nothing's wrong! And you're not allowed to train with Gohan anymore!"

"Bye!" Nicole said and she ran out of the house and flew off.

Goku stood there, shocked at what he'd just said.

Trunks smiled. "Yah! Let's go!"

boof

Amy staggered backwards from the blow Trunks had just dealt to her face. He then aimed a sweep-kick at her legs, but she jumped and elbow-thrusted him on the head. He fell to the floor and detransformed.

Amy walked over to the gravity controls and returned it to normal gravity. "That was good Trunks," she said, tossing the young demi-Saiyan a water bottle. "I almost had to transform."

Trunks smiled at her. "Really?"

Amy nodded. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped when she sensed something. /"Nicole?"/

Trunks smiled. "Yah! Let's go!"

boof

Nicole was flying back to train with Gohan, despite Goku's forbiddance, when she heard Amy inside her head. /"Nani?"/

/"What's up with you? You seem a little upset,"/ Amy "said."

/"Oh, well, Goku doesn't want me to train with Gohan for some reason...." /

/"Well, get your ass over to Capsule Corp. and I might be able to help."/

/"How?"/ Amy didn't answer. /"Hello? Amy?/ Boof," Nicole muttered, then flew in the direction she *thought* Capsule Corp. was.

Trunks smiled. "Yah! Let's go!"

boof

"Amy?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry Trunks," Amy said. "I was just talking to a friend. She's gonna come over here now."

"Is she that Nicole person you talked about?"

"Yup. Now let's get some food!" she replied, walking out of the training room.

"Yeah!" Trunks exclaimed, running past her and to the kitchen.

Amy smiled. "I'll be there in a sec," she called after him. "And don't eat all the pie this time!" She then went to see Bulma.

She stepped into the lab and found Bulma sitting at her computer.

"Hey Bulma," Amy said, coming up behind her. "Can you do me a favour?"

"Sure," Bulma said. "What is it?"

"Well," Amy started. "You remember Nicole, right?" Bulma nodded. "She's back now and wants to know if you'll make her a Saiyaman outfit for the tournament."

"No problem," Bulma said. "So Goku's finally back then?"

Amy nodded. "But you probably don't wanna see him right now..."

"Why not?"

"Oh, he's going through that thing that Vegeta went through."

"Ah, I see," said Bulma.

"Yah...But can you start making the outfit today? Nicole's coming over now."

"Sure."

"K, thanks Bulma!" Amy said as she left the lab. She walked to the kitchen. She took one look at Trunks and growled, her tail unwinding from around her waist. "You ate all the pie!!!"

Trunks looked down guiltily. "I didn't mean to! I was gonna save you a piece, but then you took so long and..."

"I was gone for like two minutes!" Amy advanced on Trunks.

"I'm sorry, Amy!" Trunks said, getting up from the table and backing away from her.

Just then, Nicole landed and walked into the kitchen. "Chibi Trunks!" she cried as she ran over and glomped him.

"Nicole," Amy said through clenched teeth. "Can you put him down? I'm trying to kick his ass right now..."

"What?" Nicole said at the same time Trunks said, " Help!"

Amy sighed. "Fine, I won't kick your ass.....Today."

Trunks relaxed somewhat. Well, as much as he could with Nicole clutching him so tightly. "Uhh," he choked out. "Can you let me down now?"

Nicole looked at him. "K!"

She let him down and Trunks sucked in a lungful of air. "Thanks. Who are you?"

"That's Nicole," said Amy as she began eating. "She's a freak."

"I am not a freak," Nicole mumbled. "Now, are you gonna tell me what's wrong with Goku?"

Amy nodded as she swallowed a hot dog whole. "I'll explain some stuff to you when we get to my house."

"Well, I'm gonna go get my room ready for when Goten gets here," Trunks said, leaving the room.

"See ya," Amy said as she finished eating. She stood up and stretched. "Wanna go now?"

"Yes!" Nicole replied.

"Follow me," Amy said as she walked out the door and flew to the house she shared with Vegeta.

While they were flying, Amy began to ask Nicole a few questions. "So, did Goku say anything along the lines of forebidding you to see Gohan again?"

Nicole nodded. "He said I wasn't allowed to train with him anymore."

"Okay, well, just hold your ground and this should pass."

"How do you know about this?" Nicole asked.

"Vegeta did the same thing when I hung out with Seventeen," Amy said. She pointed down to a Capsule-house. "'Thar she blows.'" She then flew down with Nicole following.

They landed and Nicole turned to her friend. "What did Vegeta do?"

"Oh, well, see, he came across me and Seventeen sparring a few days after the Mating Ritual. He went straight to Super Saiyan 2 and started beatin' on Seventeen. So Seventeen got knocked out and Vegeta and I started yelling at each other. He said I wasn't to see the android again, blah blah blah. So we started fighting. This went on for about a week or so. Then we got into a *really* fierce battle and we didn't stop until we both couldn't move anymore. So, yah, you might have to beat the shit outta Goku before he stops with the whole possessiveness/jealousy stuff."

They walked into the house.

"Oh," said Nicole. "So...You know Seventeen?!"

Amy nodded. "Yah, he comes here every once in while to spar. He'll be at the Tournament too."

"Cool! But I don't wanna fight Goku!"

Amy laughed. "It may not come to that, as long as you keep your ground and tell him that you can do whatever the hell you want, when you want."

They sat on the couch in the living room.

"Yah. But, now can you concentrate *really* hard on something for me?" Amy asked.

"What?" Nicole asked suspiciously.

"Well, I've been sensing something....strange lately, but no one else has -- not even Dende. It has to do with Babidi, otherwise I would've said something. Cause our prescence here has already thrown the Z-universe outta whack enough."

"I guess so..." said Nicole. "So what am I looking for?"

Amy telepathically sent Nicole the energy signature she'd sensed. Nicole then concentrated on it and gasped.

"What? What do you sense?" Amy asked.

Nicole looked at her. "I don't know how I know this, but, I think.....it's........ Queen Beryl?"

Amy stared at her friend. "What?! How is that possible? We've never been to Sailor Moon or anything.....Unless....What all did you bring when we first came here?"

Nicole thought a moment. "I think I might've brought some episodes of Sailor Moon....." she said quietly.

"The last ones of the first series?" Nicole nodded. Amy stood up. "Dammit! Cell must've had the remote longer than we thought." She began pacing back and forth across the room. "Then Babidi must've somehow gotten a hold of your stuff, probly trying to find out who we are and crap, then when he saw Beryl, he thought she'd be good for something. He then used the remote, enslaved her, and now she's here. They also must've used her to travel in time to the future, and that's why Trunks was here...." She stopped suddenly and looked at Nicole. "This is really fucked up, even for me."

"Yah..." Nicole agreed.

Amy began pacing again. "So then, now they don't need to collect energy to release Buu, obviously, so what are they up to?"

"I have no idea," stated Nicole.

"Me neither....Anyway, I still have to tell you a few things." She sat back down on the couch. "Vegeta and I have already reached Super Saiyan 2, Goku can't get you pregnant, Chi Chi died a few years ago from a disease, and I'm the Queen of the entire Saiyan race."

"Okay, what?"

Amy looked at her. "Well, I'd say the first three things I said were pretty self-explanatory....But the fourth one is fun to brag about!" Amy grinned. "So, because Vegeta and I are mates, he became king and I'm his queen."

"Yah, I kinda figured that..." said Nicole.

"Ok!" Amy said. "Well, you can go now. Vegeta'll be here soon, and you should go yell at Goku and stuff."

Nicole stood up. "O.....K...But what about the Queen Beryl thing?"

"We'll figure that out later. Maybe once Shin's separated Frieza, Cell and Buu....And don't say anything to anyone else about this. I don't want to risk screwing up the timeline and stuff...But I'll try and think of something," Amy said as they walked to the door. She opened it and Nicole walked out.

"Bye," said Nicole before she flew off.

"See ya." Amy closed the door. She went to the kitchen and got a drink. /Uh- oh,/ she thought. /I forgot to tell her about the moon.....Oh, well. I'll tell her tomorrow./
