4 months later...

...

Everyone was gathered at Capsule Corp for Bulma's big party, Yuuki and Tapion sitting together at a table with Gohan and Videl, along with 18 and Krillin as they watched the younger children playing. Yuuki had finally gotten to meet the rest of the Z Fighters she'd heard so much about... All of them extremely kind and welcoming as everyone mingled.

Yuuki smiled while glancing over at the handsome man sitting next to her, enjoying seeing him looking so at ease in his new clothing. Tired of the fighter only having one outfit, she'd decided to buy him a few different things explaining that it wasn't always necessary to wear armor.

For the party Yuuki had picked out a loose summer dress, throwing a light tan sweater over top of it in case she got cold. Tapion had dressed casually as well, wearing his new red shirt along with a new pair of dark colored pants that Yuuki had to admit, made him look very nice. Said woman noticed his sword leaning against the table next to him as she smirked, knowing her hero would never be without it as it was practically a part of him...

"Wow, so not too much longer now huh?" Krillin commented, interrupting her thoughts while eyeing Yuuki's large belly. "I remember the last time 18 looked like that... Then, a few days later, Maron was here."

"You must be so excited!" Videl squeaked, watching happily as her teal haired friend placed a hand on the large bump.

"I'm a little nervous honestly..." Yuuki admitted, trying her best to fake a smile as she suddenly felt Tapion's hand on her own.

"Nothing bad is going to happen, I'll make sure of it." He promised, scooting her chair right next to his as Videl giggled. He had to admit, he was a little anxious himself about everything, but knew everything would run it's course naturally.

"You know Bulma has some of the best doctors and scientists in the world on her staff..." Gohan spoke up, taking another sip of his drink while thinking about it. "It's definitely the best place you could be right now!"

"Heh, you're right..." Yuuki said, smiling at Tapion and all of her friends while vowing to stop worrying and just enjoy the party. "So... Anyone else want to get in on the bet?" She challenged, a mischievous smirk appearing on her face while pulling a large wad of cash out of her pocket before slamming it on the table.

"Boy... Or girl?"

Nearly everyone dashed over, yanking out whatever money they had before making their own guesses...

"I hope it's a boy!" Trunks said, jumping around with his toy sword as he fought with an imaginary enemy. "Then they'll be cool like Tapion!" He finished, smiling as Goten jumped up and down.

"Oooh! A boy! A boy!" Goten chanted, before tackling Trunks, both of them rolling away as they continued their play fight.

"Well, I hope you have a girl..." ChiChi confessed, getting Yuuki's attention as she walked over. "We need more of a feminine touch around here!"

Everyone chatted about the pros and cons of boy versus girl as Yuuki and Tapion laughed, getting caught up in all the excitement...

"Double or nothing if you can guess eye and hair color!" Yuuki shouted, throwing up two fingers enthusiastically as everyone burst out laughing. 

They party continued on like that for a while, everyone having fun and enjoying each other's company before Vegeta appeared suddenly. Yuuki saw him approaching, noticing that he was in his full combat attire instead of his casual dress clothes, an anxious frown plastered across his face as he scanned the surrounding area.

I wonder what's up with him... She thought curiously, watching the Saiyan walk around the party as if looking for someone.

Bulma saw him go, grabbing her glass of wine before trotting off after him, wondering herself what her husband was up to...

A few minutes later the blue haired woman reemerged with two new guests in tow. Vegeta was walking behind them as well, seeming a bit reluctant as Yuuki took in the appearance of these strangers.

"Hey look guys! Vegeta actually has friends!" Bulma shouted, getting everyone's attention as she led the two newcomers towards the party. 

Introductions were made and the festivities continued with Beerus and Whis now joining in on the fun. It wasn't too long before the tall, white haired man named Whis made his way towards where Yuuki and Tapion were sitting, looking at the pregnant woman in fascination before speaking up.

"Ohoho! Looks like there's a baby on the way~" Whis sang excitedly, making Yuuki laugh as he blinked curiously. "Tell me, would you like to know if it's a boy or a girl?" He asked simply, seeming to somehow have the answer already as she looked at him in shock.

"What? How can you tell?" Tapion asked suspiciously, throwing a protective arm around his partner as Whis explained.

"I can sense their energy..." He said, looking back and forth between both fighters before grinning. "Very interesting indeed..."

"I don't want to spoil the surprise!" Yuuki said quickly, waving her hands to interrupt him as Whis and Tapion laughed. 

The party continued on as Beerus impressed everyone with his surprisingly good break dancing skills, everyone continuing to enjoy themselves as Yuuki noticed that Vegeta still seemed on edge...

"Hey Tapion..." Yuuki whispered, getting her lover's attention as he leaned closer. "Have you noticed Vegeta seems really nervous around these two?"

"I've been wondering myself..." He admitted, watching both strangers closely as there didn't seem to be any problems.

"They seem alright to me." Yuuki commented, Tapion nodding in agreement as they both watched Bulma walk up to the stage before grabbing the microphone and announcing the beginning of the big bingo tournament...

"Yes, that's right!" Bulma went on, gesturing to the table behind her before pulling the white cover off dramatically. "The top prizes include a fully furnished castle, a private jet and one million zeni!"

Everyone's eyes widened at the mention of such amazing prizes as all the guests took their seats, preparing to play the game before a small scuffle began to break out.

"I never wanted it to come to this!" A small girl shouted, getting everyone's attention as Yuuki looked towards where Trunks and his younger friends were standing. The dark haired girl had a gun pointed to the boy's head as she gasped, watching as a puppy like creature pointed a sword towards his neck as well.

"Listen up folks!" The little blue goblin standing in front of them yelled, "If you don't want us to smash this kid into applesauce, then you better hand over that one million zeni!"

All the fighters surrounding them seemed unfazed, both Beerus and Whis watching the situation curiously as the kidnappers continued.

"U-uh... A hundred thousand would also work!" The blue child in charge stammered, making Yuuki raise a brow while wondering what kind of game they were playing...

Piccolo crossed his arms, huffing in irritation as Krillin, Yamcha and the others started to chuckle.

"What are you jerks laughing at?! I'll kill him, I mean it!" The dark haired girl threatened, yanking Trunks closer as she pressed the gun against his temple.

"That deluded child is threatening to kill another child and yet everyone at this party simply laughs?" Beerus questioned, frowning as Vegeta dashed over.

"NO! I... I heard she's my son's girlfriend..." The Saiyan explained before laughing nervously. "They're just goofing around... You know how young love can be, hah hah..."

"Um, I've heard of kids teasing each other when they have crushes..." Yuuki stated, continuing to watch the situation unfold while noticing the annoyed look on the purple cat alien's face. "But this is a little intense..."

"WE'RE NOT GOOFING AROUND HERE! WHERE'S THE MONEY?!" The theif in charge shouted, making Trunks frown before speaking.

"Uh, Mai... I wanna break up now..."

"Can it hostage!"

"Forget the bingo tournament! This is way more entertaining!" Gohan said enthusiastically while jumping up from his seat. "I wanna play your hostage game too you guys! Yeah!" He finished, launching himself forward as he magically transformed into the Great Saiya Man.

"Why did he have that on underneath his clothes?" Yuuki wondered out loud, the whole situation going a bit off the rails as she could only sit and watch...

"Those who would commit evil, beware! The all powerful Great Saiya Man is here to save Trunks from his evil girlfriend!" Gohan shouted, striking a few dramatic poses as Videl placed a hand over her face.

"This sure is interesting..." Yuuki smirked, elbowing Videl playfully before she swatted her hand away, making Tapion chuckle as they all continued to watch.

"Yeah, get her Gohan!" Krillin cheered, everyone else whistling and getting in on the action as Beerus and Whis observed curiously.

"How strange this is... Could that oddly dressed man be the Super Saiyan God?" Beerus said to himself, making Yuuki wonder what he meant as Vegeta chuckled.

"Oh no he's just playing too! Kakarot's son Gohan is pretending to be a super hero..." The Saiyan prince stammered, watching as the God of Destruction's brow twitched in irritation.

"If you're going to shoot someone young lady, shoot me!" Gohan went on confidently, imitating his best super hero voice as he walked up to the kidnappers.

"I... I'm not gonna shoot you!" Mai hissed, backing up a step as her friend agreed.

"Back off man..."

"No seriously, shoot me..." Gohan explained, crouching down to their level for a moment. "Let's kick things up a notch, yeah? Make it more dramatic for the rest of the party!" He added, making all the children except Trunks visibly tense. "Oh and don't just fire once, panic and empty the whole clip into me, kay?" Finishing with a nod he stood back up, the girl holding the gun looking at him like he was insane. "Sound like a plan?"

"Y-You're crazy!"

"I've fought next to Gohan in tons of battles..." Trunks piped up, glancing towards Mai as she still looked unsure. "He's fast enough to dodge almost anything..."

Gohan smirked, dashing back a few feet before shouting. "Alright then villains! You may fire when ready!"

"Fine! You asked for it!" Mai shouted, pointing the gun right at Gohan as she fired every shot in her clip, everyone gasping and watching in amazement as Gohan deflected them all easily with only his finger.

"Hahaha! I told you villains to beware..." Gohan laughed, a nervous echo bubbling up in his voice. "For you're no match for the power of The Great Saiya Man!" He finished, walking up to the children quickly before leaning down again.

"You guys all this time I thought that was just a pellet gun, but those were real bullets ya fired at me!" Gohan hissed, his eyebrow twitching angrily as he yanked said gun out of the little girl's hand. "Little kids should never be playing with something so dangerous... If it hadn't been me up there, you would have shot someone-"

"Ah..." Yuuki hissed, a sudden stinging sensation making her wince. She grabbed her arm gently while hissing, everyone looking her way. "I... I think I'm hit..."

"Yuuki!" Tapion shouted, jumping up from his seat and appearing at her side in an instant, quicklu placing a hand over the wound and applying pressure. "Just relax, we'll get some help!" He added quickly, cursing inwardly as the woman winced in pain.

"Oh my gosh!" Gohan said worriedly, both him and Videl running over as they noticed the blood starting to leak through the sleeve of Yuuki's sweater.

"GOHAN!" Chichi shouted, glaring at her son angrily. "Your stupid super hero game nearly got someone killed! Quick, someone get a doctor!"

"I'm so so sorry!" Gohan pleaded, placing his hands above his head in an apologetic gesture as Tapion glanced towards the other buildings, about to pick his partner up and take her to the medical wing before a voice stopped him.

"Don't worry, I can heal her no problem." Dende spoke up, walking over before kneeling down next to Yuuki as Tapion nodded appreciatively. 

The red haired man held Yuuki's shoulders, giving them a reassuring squeeze as the small Namekian placed his hands over the injury. A faint blue light began to appear, making the would close up slowly as everyone watched with wide eyes.

Yuuki blinked a few times while realizing the pain was now gone, her arm looking just as it had before as she gasped in surprise.

"You healed it! It's like it never even happened... Thanks Dende." She said gratefully as Tapion pulled her to her feet, both of them thanking the guardian of the Earth again as he smiled.

"Gohan! I don't want you drinking any more punch today, you hear me?!" Chichi ordered, glaring at her son angrily as Yuuki couldn't help but feel a little bad for the man.

"Yes ma'am..." He replied, sounding truly remorseful as he looked towards where the rest of his friends were standing. "Thank you Dende- I mean Guardian! I owe you big time... And I'm so sorry Yuuki, are you alright?"

"I'm fine now." Said woman smiled, leaning on Tapion while tilting her head to the side. "Just maybe next time warn me first?"

"This is a dream, right? Or a nightmare...?" Pilaf said bluntly, not able to believe what he had just witnessed as his comrade spoke up. 

"That's what we thought the last time... It's all real. The world's just crazy sir."
