WIP DISCORD SERVER
Tumblr media
Almost done working on a discord server that's mainly for fans of the Earthlings.
I haven't typed out all the rules just yet. The main rule is to show respect for each other to the best of your ability. If ppl on the same side fight amongst themselves, they cannot progress. And that's exactly what many hateful Saiyan fans want us to do. The discord will be a place for us to unite. We need to have peace amongst ourselves.
SOME RULES SO FAR 📝
If anyone intentionally causes trouble in the server, they will be kicked or banned. Our main goal is to have peace amongst each other. And if we discover that you are a Saiyan fan who has ill intent, you will be kicked or more than likely, you will be banned. This applies for most Vegeta stans since y'all are the ones who gave me the most trouble since I've been online. Most of his stans behave arrogantly. I and others will not put up with it. Hostile Vegeta stans will not be kicked... they WILL be banned. (And tbh, I doubt we will have many Vegeta stans to begin with.)
Another thing... NO NSFW ROSHI OR OOLONG ART. I don't want to see any art or stories of them with any DB women (or even with the guys). If I or mods do see it, then the person who posted it will be asked to delete it (a warning). If it continues to happen, the user will be put in Time Out or you may even be kicked. So, no hentai of Roshi nor Oolong. But also, I will allow very limited hentai of Hercule/Mr. Satan. I like these characters in SFW, but I cannot stand them in NSFW because of how the fandom uses other Earthlings to cause division with the rest of us. Especially so because the fandom uses these characters for hateful stuff towards Krillin more than any other character. So, to reiterate, NO NSFW ROSHI. NO NSFW OOLONG. VERY LITTLE NSFW HERCULE. The only NSFW Hercule stuff allowed is of him x a character with a minor role. Example being Hercule x Erasa. I DO NOT want to see Hercule x 18 or Chi-Chi! You want to do Hercule x Bulma during the Cell Saga & after? Sure. Hercule is only allowed very little on my server. (No NSFW Pilaf art either. Unless you want to put him with Mai, I guess that's ok. But I don't wanna see him with other characters at all.)
Another rule to help keep peace amongst ourselves is DO NOT share or create works that cause division for Earthling fans. An example would be to not have Krillin with Bulma unless its during times when she IS NOT with Yamcha. If YamBul broke up? Sure. But not when they are together. With Launch, since she and Tien never actually got together, then works of Krillin or Yamcha with Launch are fine. (I believe it is stated somewhere that Tien doesn't care for romantic relationships.) Since 18 is married to Krillin, there will be no art shared of her with any other guy. If you want to post art of Yamcha x Maron (I call her Malon) then you better make it clear that it's AFTER Krillin dumped her. And since in DBH, Yamcha has a new girlfriend, I'd appreciate it if the art shared of Virdo is just her by herself or her with Yamcha. I don't have any intentions to draw any Krillin x Virdo. (Edit: NO TWINCEST! Meaning no 17 x 18 stuff. 18 is with Krillin, so there will be no 18 x not Krillin stuff shared. 17 falls under this umbrella.)
WARNING; In this server, it will be 100% okay to NTR or cuck characters like Roshi, Oolong, Hercule, Gero, and some if not all of the Saiyans. But, if some users express that they are uncomfortable with NTR, then we will hide the images as a "SPOILER" & give a warning.
CHANNELS 🌐
Tumblr media
I may need to do more adjustments. Like have a place for SFW & NSFW art for aliens that aren't Saiyans. That can be figured out later when users make suggestions in the suggestion channel.
I have also created a channel specifically for official Saiyan x Earthling ships. Meaning there will be no place for fan-ships like Goku x Suno, Gohan x Erasa, Raditz x Launch, nor Vegeta x anyone other than Bulma. Its a place specifically for canon ships that involve Saiyans. And I'm generous enough to allow Broly x Cheelai even though that is not a canon ship.
There will also be a special server for a select few to chat in. I may decide to add some others as time goes by. But, I will have to be very careful with who I add to that. Gotta make sure they are an Earthling fan before they are a Saiyan fan.
Tumblr media
(Networking is something I mentioned before.)
In these particular channels, we can strategize & discuss ways to improve how the Earthling characters we love can be viewed in a more positive light. Here, we will present facts to oppose the lies spread in the fandom. FACTS OVER FEELINGS, BUT... we will also take into account the way each other feels about subjects so that those emotions can align with the facts. If they do align with facts, we validate & help figure out ways to promote such factual feelings in the fandom.
(Many Saiyan fans seem to put feelings over facts and in opposition to facts. But they are so forceful that they lead to much of the negativity & toxicity in the fandom towards Earthlings. Many behave like Vegeta before he turned good. Lying so much that they believe the lies themselves.)
We can discuss about how to speak with ppl and other artists online too. We don't want to insult artists, but would rather encourage them to draw what we like every now and again. But we need to learn to avoid the ones who are opposed to Earthling fans & have hatred of Earthling characters. We don't support them financially nor do we promote their art. Some speak like they don't want or need us anyway, so why would we retweet their art? In hopes they change and do art we like? No. We MAKE them change by not supporting them. And if they don't change, then they have lost our support for good.
(Personal thing; I do not like or retweet art of 18 if Roshi is in the background. That enforces Roshi with 18. I only retweet lewd art of her when she's by herself or with Krillin.)
EMOJIS 🤪
I have some emojis made up. I may change or add different ones. But, I'd like for most of the emojis to be DB characters since it's mainly a DB server. (Notice how I have very few Saiyan emojis compared to the Earthling emojis. That's intentional. I may even get rid of the Saiyan ones all together in the future. Who knows.)
Tumblr media
I will also encourage Two-Factor Authentication for the safety of those who I give invites to. We want to be safe. If I had angry Vegeta stans try to get my twitter blocked, then I'm sure they would attempt to come after a group of Earthling fans too.
This is mainly for Earthling fans to have a place to chat with each other and build without the interference of hateful Saiyan fans or fans who hate Earthling characters like Krillin, Yamcha, & Chi-Chi.
LASTLY...
What do you think about the server icon and title? "Earthling Energy" was the best I could come up with. 😅 It's meant to represent the gathering of our positive energy into a hope filled Spirit Bomb to be used against certain types of ppl in the fandom.

The favorite dragon ball characters of my (old) ocs The Rodericks & Co
Cheri Rhubarb: She loves DBZ so so so much and she doesnt know about the original dragon ball (she bought DBZ dvds at a garage sale when she was 12) but she would love it tooo much if she knew about it. Her favorite character is Piccolo, but she tries to hide that, and she tells you that her favorites are Bulma and Chichi and Baby Gohan and Baby Goten. But her favorite is Piccolo she just reflexively gets secretive and insecure and bashful about that. She relates to him a lot for some reason on levels that she cannot recognize, understand, or articulate
Amadeus: He watches DBZ with Cheri Rhubabr and processes 12% of it and his favorite is Goku (popular voice claim for amadeus is actually sean schemmel.) and whoever Cheri’s favorites are. He picks up that Piccolo is Cheri’s favorite (she spends the most time talking about him) so he’s his favorite too. And of course he likes Ms Chichi (im not going to go off on a long tangent and explain the time that they drew chichi x piccolo together..)
Chester: He walks in during Future Trunks’s debut and is taken by his sword work (chester’s special interests are knights and swords and whatnot) but he does quickly lose interest in the character just becasue dragon ball is not his thing.
Dandy: The only shows he watches are Spongebob and My Little Pony. His favroite character would be oolong
Sparrow: Whoever her favorite is she would be sooo annoying about it. She would want to engage in lengthy and intelligent discussions with you about vegeta. Which doesnt work becasue Cheri Rhubabr doesnt care about Vegeta and Amadeus again was only processing 12% of the show. Sparrow would kill it on the forums however
Bunko: Her favorite would be Roshi in a self-defeating way
BONUS
Iris: DEMON KING PICCOLO

“It’s like looking at your dead father’s soul, but that soul is fading right before your eyes, and you know there’s nothing you can do about it, you just stand there, watching, helpless, absorbed in his behemoth shadow, but that shadow has already begun to decay.”  Bulma said, as much to herself as to Roshi and Oolong as they stood before Capsule Corp in the last few minutes of allotted light, “Then the darkness isn’t so bad.  Kinda wish it were a little more black.”
    Bulma raised the cigarette to her lips and took a draw.  She kept her eyes downcast as the lights in the tower began to go out floor by floor, leaving only the Capsule Corp logo in blue phosphorous glow at the top of the building, its weak light dull as an eye that had seen too much trouble in its old age, weak and tired, wisdom frosted over by apathy.  “Well, that’s that.”  Oolong said as he pushed his hooves into the belly pocket of his hoodie, “Goodbye Friday, hello long, dark weekend.”
    “I don’t know why we all come out here.”  Bulma said as she blew the smoke out slowly from her lips, “it’s just stupid nighttime lights.  Not like we don’t have lights all throughout the rest of the week.”
    Oolong shrugged, “It’s a community thing.  Call it the last piece of happiness we have.  Everybody’s broke and bored, and they don’t wanna go to bed.  I mean c’mon, it’s only 6:00.”
    “Yeah, I get that, but . . . They treat it like it’s some sort of festival-like ‘thing’.  It’s not a thing to celebrate, it’s just my boss being a prick.”
    “Now don’t say that.  Goku did what he had to do to keep us all in the modern age.”  Master Roshi said as he struggled to his feet off of the ragged picnic blanket on the piebald lawn, “Without him, we might not have had any kind of civilization to speak of, not after all we’ve been through.  And we may be broke but at least YOU have a job, Bulma.”

An Update
So for those who are somewhat interested. Here's and update about myself and my projects.
Concerning myself...
I'm still very much tired mentally & physically. As I've said, I work multiple jobs & on top of that I have daily migraines (but I wear shades everyday to lessen the pain and symptoms). And I mentioned I'm sort of a handy man around my town mainly for family members. And I do work with my father to help him out as well as work on my own build projects for myself. So I'm pretty busy. Then I have to organize certain things despite migraines messing with my memory. Healthwise, I'm okay but still have trouble sleeping and I try to eat more often since I often forget to eat or just ain't hungry. So I get a bit overwhelmed and stressed and end up ignoring ppl & isolating myself. I still have anxiety and social anxiety too but that's getting better little by litte. I'm learning to properly deal with the stresses and mental triggers. I'm mostly a chill dude so I don't let much bother me anymore like when I was younger.
Regarding my projects...
I have a list of things to do. I have them scheduled, but due to being busy with work so often, I dont alwats meet the deadlines I have planned. Last year didn't go so well and this year hasn't started too well either. But here are some things I have scheduled...
Info posts for tumblr
Anime vs Manga: Vegeta Learns Ki Control
Vegeta's Gravity Training Obsession & Flawed Training Habits
Full Power Forms
Jaingshi Roshi
Different Way Potential Has Been Awakened In Dragon Ball
A post responding about a complaint someone had about Tien from last year (talk about late...)
Gammas & Cell
Android 18's Power in DBS (+ a bit about 17)
A few more posts about Krillin's Non-Self State that makes comparisons & explains certain details
What Toriyama's notes for Toyotaro's Moro & Granolah arcs probably were (an interesting post based off of context clued & is highly possible to be true. Will probably be later this year because there is a lot to gather for that post)
Comics I want to complete this year if possible
Kriller Time! Super Hero Side-Story Part 2: Videl
18 x Kurilin (a mini comic that'll have 4 alts)
Kriller Time! Super Hero Side-Story Part 3: Bulma
Kriller Time! #2: Fan-geta (NOT a side-story comic)
18 Steals Krillin Away
Roshi Mini Comic (should be interesting & informative due to it going to have information many may have overlooked)
Black Water Mist (a Krillin story I've wanted to finish for a while)
Kriller Time! #3 (might be Roshi or Oolong)
Yamcha's Bloomer (for my fellow Yamcha fans)
Content for my DB Databook (will be worked on throughout the years)
Just art stuff I want to get done
Some art for friends and requests I havent gotten to (won't be taking anymore requests for a while after I finish these so I can focus on lther projects) (some sketches are done)
Piccolo x Janet drawing I wanted to make last July (sketch is done)
Krillin Harem drawing since I got 3k followers on Twitter (might have 4k followers by then but I doubt it) (sketches are done)
Krillin x DB gals art (sketches are done)
Unfinished art for last years Chestnut Fest (almost complete)
Dragon Ball x Berserk (Yamcha art)
So, that's what I have planned. If I worked less, I could definitely get all of this done. I'll do my best regardless. And I've been debating if I should create my own website or just start a Patreon. I may begin with Patreon then make my own website later so I don't overwork myself. The thing about Patreon tho is that I want to give consistent content of what I believe is good quality. I need to make a profit from my art so I can be more motivated to continue and be more consistent, ya know?
So thats the plan. I didn't even mention the fics submitted to me nor the ones I've written. A lot are actually near ready to post but my anxiety is bugging me. Probably cause I'm overloading myself with too much. But we'll see how things go. I expect to get at least half of my art projects done this year & all of my tumblr posts this year. If I can get more than half of my art projects, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Also, my MEGA folder. It was supposed ro be done last year but some serious stuff happened & I had to get my mind right. Then, things got stressful for me in Jan, Feb, & Mar. I was supposed to post a comic in February, but didn't work on it cause of the stress. So, I'll squeeze in time ro finish my MEGA folder too. It has updated and corrected comics in there of these two specifically.

Let's watch the thunder together
Sam Arias x Male Reader
Request- Story starts where R was hanging out in Kara's loft and R ask who's coming for game night and kara told him who's coming and when she mentioned sam. R said "Oh fuck no man And I'm taking this" he took the wine bottle and use the interdimensional extrapolator to go to universe 7. Kara said "what just happened".
Then Goku said their goodbyes and R said "I'm am so sorry about him, I didn't think he would be more of a dumbass than he already is. Fast forward he and sam got along sort of.
Tumblr media
Sam moved back to National City not long ago. She is close friends with Lena and Kara and she is happy to be home. Kara invited everyone for a game night in her loft, she is excited, everyone is coming. Sam has been working hard at L-CORP, tonight she is ready to have fun with her friends.
You arrived early because you bought the food and drinks. Kara is happy that you got everything. You help her set up the drinks and food. Kara showed you the board games that everyone will play.
”Lena is coming over with her new friend Sam,” Kara said.
”I once knew someone named Sam but it didn't end well” You said.
”What happened?” Kara asked.
”Long story short, I was the punchline of a cruel joke,” You said.
Kara felt bad for you and she rubbed your arm. Kara was going to say something to cheer you up but Alex and Lena arrived with Sam. You and Sam stared at each other but you are not happy.
”Oh fuck no man and I'm taking this," You said.
Everyone is confused and wanted to ask questions, but you took the wine from Alex and used an interdimensional extrapolator to go to universe 7.
”What just happened?” Kara asked.
Sam sighed.
”We used to know each other. In high school, I went with Y/N to prom has a prank, and my friends used to bully him. I fell in love with him, when he found out that I had to go out with him on a bet well... He didn't want to hear what I had to say. Since then I haven't seen him since” Sam said sadly.
”Give him time, he will come around,” Alex said.
Sam nods and she still feels bad.
---
You are on universe seven. You went to see Vegeta like always he is training in the capsule corp. You start to train with Vegeta and he is always hard on you.
”What are you doing here?” You asked.
Alex came to see you.
”Vegeta, hi,” Alex said.
”Alex. You two are ruining my training section leave or join me” Vegeta said.
You and Alex looked at each other.
”So that is Sam,” Alex said.
”Remember when I told you I was bullied in high school and I dated this girl that had a bet with her stupid friends well that Sam,” You said.
”Yeah, she told us what happened and she stills feels sad about it. I think you should talk to her” Alex said.
You and Alex start to train with Vegeta, it's two against one. He won't go easy on Alex because she doesn't have powers, he wants Alex to get strong. Alex tries to dodge Vegeta’s attacks but he is faster.
”I don't want to speak with her,” You said.
You start to kick Vegeta.
”You should talk to her,” Vegeta said.
”See, even Vegeta agrees and he isn't much of a talker,” Alex said.
”I will think about it,” You said.
Vegeta punched you in the stomach and you fall.
”See, thinking about problems you didn't block my punch,” Vegeta said.
You are on the ground gasping for air.
”Y-you-”
You couldn't finish your sentence.
”Oh, and Kara will have game night this weekend so you better come,” Alex said.
Much later~
You, Alex, and Vegeta are taking a break. Bulma gave you and them more water to drink.
”Y/N, where is the four dragon ball star?” Bulma asked.
You start to think and you scratched your head.
”Somewhere on earth-38,” You said.
She started to yell at you because you're being careless with the dragon balls. You and Vegeta get scared when she starts to scream.
”You better go back and get it!! You know how hard it's to find it! If you don't get it, I will make your life a living hell!!” Bulma screamed.
”I’m sorry!!! I will go get it! Alex let's go!!” You said terrified.
You and Alex ran away from Bulma.
---
Before the night ended, you took Alex back to her home. And you almost forgot the 4 dragon ball star, but you had to go back to Kara’s loft. Sam is talking with Lena and Kara.
”So, you two know each other?” Lena asked.
”Unfortunately” You mumbled.
You see the dragon ball on the table you grabbed it. Before you left, you went to the kitchen and started to steal Kara’s food. It's not the first time you steal food from Kara’s Kitchen.
You left and went straight to Bulma’s house and gave her the dragon ball. You went home, you lie in your bed and think about Sam.
✫ ✯ ✧ ✬
You are jogging in the park. You caught the soccer ball and the girl walked towards you.
”I’m sorry I almost hit you with my soccer ball,” She said.
She reminds you of Sam a little bit. You see Sam walking towards you and she smiled at you.
”Hey Y/N,” Sam said.
You give back the soccer ball.
”Hi Sam,” You said.
”This is my daughter, Ruby. Y/N can we talk?” Sam said.
Ruby went to play with her friends.
”Yeah sure,” You said.
You and Sam sit on the bench.
”Y/N, I'm sorry what happened in high school. I should have done something but I didn't, I know you hate me and I don't blame you” Sam said.
”Sam, saying sorry it's not enough. But... There's no point holding a grudge against you. I forgive you and I want us to move on and start over” You said.
You and Sam smile at each other and she hugged you.
”Maybe we can go out tonight?” Sam said.
”Yeah, we can do that,” You said.
----
You and Sam just finished eating at a restaurant. You and Sam are having a good time and talked about everything. She is making you smile more and she can't stop smiling at you.
Trunks and Goten are eating at a restaurant, the table is being filled with empty plates. They have a huge appetite and keep eating a lot.
”Trunks, you have the money?” Goten asked.
”Money? I don't have money” Trunks said.
”We need to pay. I don't have money” Goten said.
They start to think. They sneaked out of the restaurant but the manager saw them. Now the manager is chasing Trunks and Goten. The boys just kept running without looking they crashed into you.
”You kids better pay now!” The manager yelled.
”Trunks and Goten what are you doing here!?” You said.
”We are at a restaurant and we don't have money,” Goten said.
You stand up and you offered to pay and the manager accepted the cash.
”We found the interdimensional extrapolator, we touched the button and it took us here. Is she your girlfriend?” Trunks said.
”No, I'm his friend Sam,” Sam said.
”You are pretty. You should be his girlfriend-”
”Goten shut up,” You said.
”Y/N and Sam sitting on a tree-”
Trunks and Goten kept teasing you and Sam, she just giggled. You are telling them to shut up but they won't.
You took Sam home. Trunks and Goten are jumping on your bed
”Did you ask her to be your girlfriend?” Goten asked.
”No, I didn't ask her,” You said.
They keep jumping on the bed.
”You should ask her,” Trunks said.
”Try not to break anything and don't eat my food,” You said.
You left the bedroom to take a shower. Trunks and Goten grabbed your phone and found Sam’s phone number and called her. Trunks try to mimic your voice and think Sam will fall for it.
”Sam, it's me Y/N I want you to be my girlfriend,” Trunks said.
Sam is smiling hard and tries not to laugh.
”Wow, Y/N I had no idea you want to be my boyfriend,” Sam said.
”You are pretty so you are my girlfriend. Bye! I have to give my stuff to Trunks and he is really cool” Trunks said.
He hangs up the phone. Much later, the boys fell asleep on your bed. Sam sent you a text and told you what Trunks did. You couldn't help to laugh.
---
Next-Day...
You were going to spend time with Sam alone, but Trunks and Goten tagged along. Sam thinks it's cute how you get along with the boys.
”Pizza!!!” The boys yelled with joy.
You arrived at your apartment with pizza. They just grabbed it and started to eat like pigs.
”They sure eat a lot,” Sam said.
”They train a lot so huge appetites. They will leave you broke all the time” You said.
Goku arrived and he gave you a bear hug. Goten is happy to see his father, then you introduced Goku to Sam.
”Oh is this your girlfriend?
”Goku shut up!” You spat.
Sam didn't know what to say.
”Oh she is your girlfriend! Y/N she is really pretty-”
You punched Goku in the stomach. You felt he was embarrassing you.
”Take the boys with you, they are eating my food,” You said.
”Dad!!” Goten yelled with joy and jumped on his dad.
”I should take them home, Bulma and Chi-Chi are worried and angry at them,” Goku said.
Trunks and Goten are scared now and they hold on to Goku tight.
”Bye, Y/N’s girlfriend!!” They all yelled and left.
You sighed and Sam can't stop smiling.
”I'm am so sorry about him, I didn't think he would be more of a dumbass than he already is” You said.
”They are nice and funny. I don't mind seeing them around” Sam said.
✫ ✯ ✧ ✬
You and Sam have been spending a lot of time together. Your feelings for Sam.has gotten stronger and Sam wonders if you want to be her boyfriend.
You invited Sam, Ruby, and super friends to a party on universe 7. Bulma is throwing a party on the Capsule Corp ferry. You introduced everyone to each other, they are getting along. Everyone loves the food and the party is going great.
You are spending alone with the guys, you thought of an idea along with Yamcha, Master Roshi, and Oolong. Two women walked into the room, the music starts to play.
”Guys, what is going on?” Goku asked.
”Oh, you will find out in a little bit” Oolong has a huge grin.
”Y/N, are they here?” Master Roshi asked.
”The show will start now” You smirked.
The two strippers start to take off their clothes.
”Why are they taking off their clothes?” Goku asked in confusion.
You and the others are watching the two strippers dance. Goku closed his eyes then Chi Chi walked and she started to yell. Everyone blamed the idea on you, she glared and she yelled at you again.
”Chi-Chi it's harmless. Goku barely looked at them” You said.
You give her thumbs up and she gave you the finger. She smacked your head
”Hey that hurts” You whine.
You start to rub your head.
”That's what you get, Y/N,” Chi-Chi said.
She dragged Goku out of the room, while you and the other guys watch the strippers dance.
---
Still, on the ferry, you went to spend time with Sam alone. You and Sam stand by the balcony and watch the beautiful sunset, you take a selfie with Sam. Your hand is on top of her hand and she kissed your cheek, you blushed.
”Having fun?” You asked.
”Yes, I'm having fun. Goku is like a huge kid in a men’s body but he sure can eat a lot. Where does the food go?” Sam said.
You and Sam laughed.
”Are you dating anyone?” You asked.
”No. I have been single for a while now, what about you?” Sam said.
”I have been on dates but I haven't been in a relationship,” You said.
You and Sam stare at each other, she bites her bottom lip.
---
You and Sam went to check on Ruby and the others.
”How did you and my mom meet?” Ruby said.
”We met in high school, she was the popular girl and I wasn't popular. A teacher made us work together on a project, we had to take care of a game baby” You said.
”We couldn't agree on the name so we named the baby, baby,” Sam said.
Ruby laughed.
---
You and Sam joined the others to eat. Goku again is eating a lot and he put his arm around your shoulder.
”Can you turn Super Saiyan 4?” Goku asked.
”Why do you ask?” You said.
”Whis said you can do it. I want to see” Goku said.
”What is Super Saiyan 4?” Kara asked.
”Super Saiyan 4 is, the form gives the fighter the super strength and speed of a Great Ape, but with a calm, clever mind. But for others, it can make them very cold and aggressive. Y/N would have different hair color, also would have a tail and his body is covered in red fur. His eyes possess a shadow to trim around their eyes and over the eyelids that vary in color, such as crimson. The hair is lengthened while becoming wilder, reaching down to the middle of their back, while two long pointed bangs of hair appear on both sides of the neck. It also makes the individual considerably larger in height and muscularity ” Whis said.
”Sam and Ruby are here,” You said.
”I want to see you transform,” Sam said.
”Me too! Y/N you should do it” Kara said.
”Okay, I will do it,” You said.
You moved away from everyone, you get in your stance. Everyone watches you change into Super Saiyan 4, everyone is impressed and they like your new form.
✫ ✯ ✧ ✬
You are at work sitting at your desk, you get mail. You opened the package, you take out an old picture of you and Sam back in high school.
”I can't believe I thought that was cool,” You said to yourself.
You are talking about your fashion style. Sam sent you a text...
Sam- I found this and the old mixtape you made for me. Also, I made you a mix cd. I know its old school 😜
You take out the cd and you read the playlist. You can't stop smiling.
---
You come out of work and Sam is waiting for you.
”Hey, you,” You said.
”Y/N, I thought we can go on a date right now,” Sam said.
”Wow, you beat me to the punch. I was going to ask you over the phone” You said.
You and Sam smile at each other.
”I’m sorry... If I ruined the moment” Sam said.
You shake your head.
”No, you didn't ruin anything. Yes, I will go out on a date with you” You said
You and Sam can't stop smiling at each other.
”Do remember that go-kart place we used to go. We had a race and I almost won but you cheated” Sam said.
”I remember winning and it wasn't my fault that you lost,” You said.
”Well, I want a rematch,” Sam said.
”Oh, I will give you the rematch and you will lose again,” You said.
--
You and Sam started to race and did three laps, she won. You wanted a rematch but she didn't want the rematch. You and Sam have dinner at the snack bar.
”Best first date I had in a while,” You said.
”Me too. And no you won't get the rematch” Sam said.
You and Sam laughed. You kissed Sam and she kissed you back.

A Gohan x Videl Fanfiction
.
EAST DISTRICT, MOUNT PAOZU
Chi-Chi is yelling inside their house as their family is getting ready for the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament. Her loud voice can be heard outside as she calls out her two sons.
CHI-CHI: Gohan! Goten! What's taking you so long?
GOHAN: Coming, Mom!
Chi-Chi goes out of their house carrying a large furoshiki turned into a handbag. She's wearing a yellow cheongsam with violet bandana around her shoulder.
Gohan is behind Chi-Chi, and Goten is the last to come out of the house. The two boys are ready to fight, as Goten is wearing his usual orange gi over a blue long-sleeved undershirt, and Gohan is on his Great Saiyaman costume, but this time, with his white bandana and sunglasses. The older Saiyan is carrying a duffle bag.
GOHAN: Flying Nimbus!
The yellow fluffy cloud flies in, stopping in front of the three. Gohan helps Chi-Chi climb the cloud.
CHI-CHI: Let's get going!
Nimbus starts flying as the two Saiyan brothers follow at either side.
.
CAPSULE CORPORATION, WEST CITY
The Son family arrives at Capsule Corporation. On the compound was a big airship and beside it are Bulma, Vegeta and Trunks. The three landed beside the airship, with Gohan helping his mother climb down Nimbus.
BULMA: Hey guys!
CHI-CHI: Are we late?
BULMA: You're actually quite early.
Bulma is wearing a red dress with a yellow scarf around her neck. Vegeta is wearing an all-black outfit, while Trunks is on his mustard hoodie and green shorts. The father and son are carrying bags containing their fighting clothes.
TRUNKS: Hey Goten! Mom allowed me to go join the tournament with Dad.
GOTEN: Really?
BULMA: As if I have a choice! Your dad was the one who insisted.
VEGETA: It's time to show us the fruits of his training.
GOTEN: Mom, can I join, too?
CHI-CHI: Goten, that might be dangerous.
BULMA: My words, exactly.
VEGETA: You told me Kakarot was also a kid when he started joining.
BULMA: He was twelve, not eight!
VEGETA: What's the difference? Besides, being a Saiyan, we are trained to fight even at a young age.
BULMA: Well, this is Earth and not the Planet Vegeta you once ruled. Things go differently here.
VEGETA: I know my son's capabilities and I know he has a fair chance on this tournament. Might start them at a young age to hone their fighting skills as soon as they can.
BULMA: I swear, if something happens to my Trunks you will sleep outside the room for the whole month.
Vegeta could only grumble in disagreement. Gohan and Chi-Chi grin at the couple's conversation.
GOTEN: Can I really not join, Mom?
CHI-CHI: Goten, I told you. You cannot.
Goten pouted in disappointment.
GOHAN: Come on, Mom. I've trained with Goten and I'm pretty sure he can hold up his own on that tournament. He's actually strong.
CHI-CHI: Gohan, don't back up your bother.
GOHAN: I'm not. I'm telling my actual observation during these past weeks we've trained together. If given the chance to train more, I actually think these kids might surpass me.
VEGETA: You sound like your father during the Cell Games when he was talking about you.
GOHAN: (quite embarrassed) I'm just... telling the truth. (laughs nervously)
Chi-Chi looks at Goten who is still looking at her with his eyes being hopeful. In the end, Chi-Chi surrenders.
CHI-CHI: Fine!
Goten is filled with glee.
GOTEN: Thanks, Mom!
CHI-CHI: But if you got matched up with Vegeta then you should quit the fight, okay?
VEGETA: (quite offended) And why am I being singled out?
CHI-CHI: Because I know you won't be merciful against my Goten. It doesn't help that he looks a lot like Goku.
VEGETA: I'm not dumb enough to blow my chances into fighting Kakarot!
BULMA: Are you even sure you and Goku will get to fight against each other?
VEGETA: I will make sure it's us in the end.
BULMA: Don't forget Gohan and the others.
VEGETA: Why do you think I've been training hard all this time? I'll win against them and I will win over Kakarot.
BULMA: (exhales deeply) I sometimes wonder if I have to be jealous with that obsession of yours over Goku.
The others also started arriving. Krillin and his family arrived with Master Roshi and Oolong. Yamcha arrived with Puar. Even the Ox-King is there to join them.
All of them aboard the airship that will take them to the tournament's venue. Bulma is the one driving. Beside her is Vegeta, and behind her are Master Roshi, Oolong and Gohan. On the other side were Krillin and his family. Behind them are Yamcha and Chi-Chi, and on the other side are Goten, Trunks and Puar who are watching the surroundings they passed on through the window of the airship. The Ox-King is behind them all.
BULMA: Are you sure Goku is really coming back?
GOHAN: That's what he said. You know Dad never breaks his promise.
YAMCHA: He even married someone because of a promise.
All of them laugh.
CHI-CHI: By the way, Yamcha, are you also joining the tournament?
YAMCHA: Nah! I would not like to embarrass myself fighting these powerhouse fighters.
VEGETA: It's good for you to acknowledge that.
YAMCHA: But... how about Tien and Chiaotzu? Aren't they coming?
GOHAN: I wasn't able to inform them. I don't know how to reach them.
YAMCHA: Yeah... haven't seen them, too, since the Cell Games. For sure they will be happy to see Goku again.
KRILLIN: And Goku will be happy to see them, too.
GOHAN: I'm sure Dad won't recognize you, Krillin.
KRILLIN: Yeah... I figured that out, too.
MASTER ROSHI: It's been a long time since we've seen him.
OX-KING: It sure is a long time since you've all been together.
GOHAN: By the way... Vegeta, Tunks, and Goten, I think it's better if we don't turn to Super Saiyan.
VEGETA: And why is that?
BULMA: Of course, it's obvious! Not only is being a Super Saiyan already an odd occurrence here on Earth, but if you turn blond people might recognize you as those people who were on the Cell Games. And with all the media around the venue, it sure will blow up. I can only imagine those reporters in front of my house trying to get a story. That will be chaotic!
VEGETA: Then I'll just kill them all.
BULMA: Oh, Vegeta! Will you behave?
VEGETA: Fine! I won't turn to Super Saiyan. It doesn't matter anyway. I'll win no matter what.
TRUNKS: And I won't turn into Super Saiyan, too.
GOTEN: Me, too!
GOHAN: Thanks, guys.
BULMA: Oh! I think we finally arrived.
Tumblr media
PAPAYA ISLAND
In front of them is Papaya Island, the venue of the tournament. Lots of airships are also coming to that island, not only for the guests but also for the media as well. The group arrives on a jam-packed tournament venue. Lots of people are on the island, and there are also a lot of stalls and shops around the place where people can buy food, refreshments and other things such as collectibles and memorabilia connected to the tournament.
KRILLIN: Wow! I don't remember the tournament being this crowded.
BULMA: Times sure changed in here.
KRILLIN: It actually feels like a festival in here.
YAMCHA: I wonder if Goku is here already.
Suddenly, the people come rushing into the entrance of the venue. There lands a big airship with the logo 'MR. SATAN' on it. Everyone started talking about it, being excited about the arrival of their world champion.
KRILLIN: It looks like the world champion has already arrived.
BULMA: He sure does know how to do an entrance.
Mr. Satan goes down his ship.
MR. SATAN: Yeah!
Tumblr media
The people cheer in glee. Some even chanted his name. The reporters rush in to interview him.
REPORTER #1: Mr. Satan, what are the odds of you winning this year?
MR. SATAN: A hundred and twenty percent! They might as well deliver the prize to my hotel room.
He laughs proudly. The people cheered more.
Videl goes down the airship, quite annoyed at the display of his father's conceit and the crowd's pleasure on it.
REPORTER #2: Ms. Videl, we've heard you're joining the senior division this year, with the possibility of fighting your own father. What will your strategy be if you are faced with him in the finals?
VIDEL: (quite annoyed) Maybe I'll punch and kick him. What do you think?
Mr. Satan just laughed at his daughter's sarcasm.
YAMCHA: Wow! It seems like Mr. Satan is really into this celebrity business.
GOTEN: Mr. Piccolo is here!
Piccolo is seen under a palm tree. Gohan goes to him.
Tumblr media
GOHAN: Piccolo! You came!
Piccolo smiles.
GOHAN: Have you seen my father yet?
PICCOLO: Not yet, but he will come.
Piccolo notices Gohan's costume.
PICCOLO: Are you really going to compete with that outfit?
GOHAN: Why? It's cool, right?
Piccolo looks at him, as if he's about to say something. In the end he just stays quiet.
CHI-CHI: Oh, where could Goku be?
KRILLIN: I'll go look for him.
YAMCHA: Me, too!
Suddenly, the long awaited Saiyan appears. Goku arrives with Fortune Teller Baba.
Tumblr media
GOKU: Hey guys!
EVERYONE: Goku!
Krillin is about to cry as he looks at his best friend. Yamcha, Puar, and Oolong are smiling widely.
Bulma is tearing up. Vegeta is just staring, as well as Trunks who have never met Goku before (he was still a baby during the Cell Games). Android 18 is also just staring, with a clueless Marron beside her.
Even Piccolo is smiling, as well as the Ox-King and Master Roshi. Chi-Chi has started crying. Goten is just staring at the man who suddenly appeared making everybody suddenly overjoyed.
GOHAN: Dad...
It was Gohan who first rushed to Goku.
GOHAN: Dad!
Gohan ran to his father as if he was the same nine-year old kid he was when Goku left them and decided to stay in the other world. He gives his father a tight embrace, which Goku reciprocates.
GOKU: Whoa, Gohan! You've grown so much!
Gohan laughs at his father's remark, though tears are also present in his eyes.
The others also come rushing to Goku. Krillin who is crying, Yamcha, Oolong, and Puar. They all surround Goku.
GOKU: Wow! Everyone is here! It's nice to see you all, guys. You've all changed a lot.
After that, Goku comes to Master Roshi.
MASTER ROSHI: Welcome back, Goku. It's been a while.
GOKU: It sure, is. Looking good, Master.
MASTER ROSHI: Getting old is not bad at all.
Goku smiles. Then he looks at Bulma.
GOKU: Bulma!
BULMA: Hey, Goku! How's it going?
GOKU: Fine... You cut your hair.
BULMA: Yeah... Being a mother is quite a lot.
Goku looks down at Trunks.
GOKU: Trunks has really grown up.
Trunks just stares at him.
GOKU: Vegeta!
Vegeta just nods.
Goku turns around and finds Chi-Chi.
GOKU: Hey, Chi-Chi...
Goku comes closer to the teary-eyed Chi-Chi.
CHI-CHI: You're late...
Goku holds her by the shoulders.
GOKU: I'm sorry...
CHI-CHI: Oh Goku...
Chi-Chi collapsed in his arms, crying gently on his chest. Goku kisses her head, calming her down while stroking her back. He smiles at the Ox-King who is watching them, and the big guy smiles back at Goku. After a few moments, Chi-Chi lets go and wipes her tears away.
CHI-CHI: Okay... this has to stop. I have to stop crying.
With a little more effort Chi-Chi was able to fully stop crying. She smiles at her husband who looks lovingly at her.
Goku then notices a small boy with black spiky hair behind Chi-Chi. The small guy seems surprised at the sudden attention. He moves back to his grandfather, the Ox-King, and hid behind his big leg.
GOKU: Hey, Chi... were you...
Goku looks at Chi-Chi, who seems to know what's going on with her husband's head. She nods as confirmation, then smiles.
CHI-CHI: I found out two months after the Cell Games.
Goku gapes at her, amazed at what he heard. He looks at the small tot, who is still looking bashfully at the taller version of him.
CHI-CHI: Goten, go meet your Dad.
Goten looks at Chi-Chi who gave him a reassuring smile. He then looks back at Goku, still unsure as he clings tightly on his grandfather's huge leg.
OX-KING: Come on, Goten. Don't you want to meet your Dad?
Goku sits down, still amazed at what he's seeing.
GOKU: Hey... I'm Goku.
Goten looks shy, but answers anyway.
GOTEN: I'm Goten...
Goku smiles at him, and after staring for a few more moments, Goten finally seems to warm up on him.
GOTEN: Daddy!
Goten rushes to Goku, the latter almost falling down with the impact.
GOKU: Whoa! You don't only look like me. You're also as strong!
Goku stands up and carries Goten. He smiles joyfully at his kid, who seems overjoyed into finally meeting him.
Tumblr media
GOTEN: I'm joining the tournament as well.
GOKU: Really?
Goku gives Chi-Chi a questioning look.
CHI-CHI: Oh, it can't be helped! He's your son after all.
Goku laughs at what Chi-Chi said.
GOKU: Were you training hard?
GOTEN: Yes! I'm training with Gohan back home.
GOKU: Wow... So that's why you're so strong.
GOTEN: And also Mom, too.
Once again, Goku looks at Chi-Chi, quite impressed at what he just learned. His wife just shrugged.
FORTUNE TELLER BABA: Goku!
Goku looks at the fortune teller.
FORTUNE TELLER BABA: Remember, you only have twenty-four hours here on earth.
GOKU: I will. Thanks, Baba.
FORTUNE TELLER BABA: I'll go now.
The fortune teller leaves.
GOTEN: That woman looks strange.
GOKU: She is a little strange, but she's nice.
Goku once again smiles at Goten, obviously amazed of the surprise that's been handed to him.
But the group needs to proceed with what they really came here for. It was Piccolo who reminded them that.
PICCOLO: We must go in and register, or else we'll be late.
GOKU: Right!
All of them goes to the registration booth. It was a long line, but after some time of waiting they had their turn to register.
Tumblr media
GOHAN: The Great Saiyaman!
REGISTRAR: Great Se... what is that again?
GOHAN: The Great Saiyaman!
REGISTRAR: Okay... (writes on the list) Next!
GOKU: What is that Great Saiyaman?
GOHAN: It's my superhero name.
Trunks is next in line.
REGISTRAR: Oh! Another one for the junior division.
TRUNKS: What is that?
REGISTRAR: All the contestants under 15 years old will compete in a separate Junior Division match.
TRUNKS: Goten! They said we can't fight with the adults.
BULMA: That's not in the rules before. Guess they changed it since last time.
CHI-CHI: I think that's better.
TRUNKS: But I want to fight with the adults!
REGISTRAR: I'm sorry, but rules are rules. Next!
Trunks was not able to alter the registrar's resolve, which makes him grumpy.
After registration, the fighters included in the tournament all proceed to the competition hall.
GOKU: Alright! Let's go, guys!
CHI-CHI: Do great, Honey! And you too, Gohan and Goten.
GOKU: We will. See you in a bit!
BULMA: Do your best, guys!
Android 18 gives Marron to Master Roshi.
MASTER ROSHI: Don't worry. I'll take care of her.
ANDROID 18: You better.
MARRON: Bye Mom and Dad! Good luck!
KRILLIN: Bye, Sweetie! We'll be back soon, okay? Stay close to Master Roshi and the others.
All of them walks to the venue. 
Tumblr media
The preliminary assessment will be done first. All the participants who registered are taken to a wide open space near the arena.
KRILLIN: Wow! Look at all these people!
GOHAN: Is this how it usually is?
KRILLIN: Yeah... But I think there are a lot more this year.
The World Tournament Announcer comes to them.
ANNOUNCER: Wow! It really is you!
Goku and Krillin look at the announcer.
GOKU: Hey!
KRILLIN: It's been a long time!
ANNOUNCER: It sure is! I never thought I will see you again, though I am always hoping I would... (moves closer and whispers) By the way. It's not Mr. Satan who really beat Cell, right? It was you, right?
Goku and Krillin just laugh.
GOHAN: (on his mind) It sure is nice to see someone recognize Dad for how strong he really is.
ANNOUNCER: To be honest, this tournament has been totally lame since that last fight you were in. Mediocre fights, you know. No fun at all. But now you're all here, and I'm excited to see amazing fights later.
The announcer notices Android 18 and Vegeta.
ANNOUNCER: Are they with you also?
GOKU: Yes.
ANNOUNCER: That's great! This really is a great day. (notices Piccolo) So, can you promise to not destroy the ring this time?
PICCOLO: I'll try not to.
ANNOUNCER: (laughs) That's what I'm talking about... (notices Goku's halo) Hey, what's the deal with that thing on your head?
GOKU: Oh, this? (points at the halo) Actually, I've been dead since my fight with Cell. I just came back today for this tournament.
ANNOUNCER: You know, I've witnessed a lot of weird things involving you, so I'll buy that.
Tumblr media
The person in-charge of the preliminary announces the start of the competition.
ANNOUNCER: That's my cue! See you in a bit, guys!
GOKU: See ya!
The World Tournament Announcer leaves.
IN-CHARGE: Today, we have 194 contestants who registered for this competition. Only 16 will have the chance to go to the semi finals. Mr. Satan, as the defending champion, will automatically move in, so only 15 among you will move on after this preliminary competition… As for the junior division, there will be no elimination round. All of the contestants for the junior division, please come this way.
The children fighting in the junior division all went to the person in-charge. They were then escorted outside the venue. After that, a punching machine was wheeled in.
IN-CHARGE: We will use this punching machine to select the top 15. The 15 highest scorers will move on to the next round.
KRILLIN: A punching machine?
GOHAN: What is that?
IN-CHARGE: For a little demonstration and to set the bar, here is our world champion, Mr. Satan!
Mr. Satan comes in, and again the people cheered and rejoiced for him.
KRILLIN: These people cheer not knowing they might even be stronger than him.
Cameras flash as the media covering the event capture the moment of the world champion. Piccolo, being annoyed himself, does his magic trick paralyzing all the cameras around.
GOHAN: Piccolo?
PICCOLO: All the cameras not only of those here but also those who will watch has all been destroyed. No one will find out about you so you can fight properly.
GOHAN: Thank you, Piccolo.
The media were all frustrated, and Mr. Satan is also quite annoyed. Still, he continues to show them what to do with the punching machine.
The world champion got a decent score of 137, which awed everyone, except for the Z Fighters of course. After the display, Mr. Satan leaves the venue and the competition starts.
It was that time when Gohan suddenly remembers something.
GOHAN: Dad, I'll just go look for a friend.
GOKU: Huh? Okay...
Gohan looks around, trying to find someone from the crowd that started to line up for their turn in the punching machine. As the crowd rush to the machine, he was able to single out the person that made him join the competition in the first place.
GOHAN: Videl!
Videl looks at him.
VIDEL: Gohan!
She suddenly remembers the disguise he wears and the reason behind it. She nervously covers her mouth.
VIDEL: I'm sorry...
GOHAN: It's okay... How's it been?
VIDEL: Great! I trained enough for me to beat you.
Gohan laughs.
VIDEL: How about you?
GOHAN: Great as well. I've trained enough, maybe I might be able to beat you?
Both of them laugh. Then suddenly, Videl seems awkward as she starts to blush.
VIDEL: Did you miss... I mean, of course, you miss school... going to class, you know...
GOHAN: Yeah... but this is about to end so I guess after this, everything will be back to normal.
VIDEL: Yeah... as you say...
Videl seems a little disappointed, which makes Gohan frown in confusion.
GOHAN: (on his mind) Is there something wrong? Did I say something bad?
The Z Fighters are now about to have their turn in the punching machine. Android 18 is the first to try it. She got 774 points, shocking everyone around except those who really knows how she really is.
VIDEL: That is impossible...
GOHAN: (laughs nervously) Maybe something's wrong... he he...
After Krillin's reproach Android 18 repeats the act, earning a lower score of 203, which is still high as compared to the bar set by Mr. Satan. It still shocked others, but it was the trend as the other Z Fighters follow suit. Krillin got 193 points, Goku got 188, Piccolo got 210, and Vegeta... well, his impatience got to him that he destroyed the punching machine in just one punch.
GOHAN: Oops! (on his mind) Trust Vegeta to not hold back his strength.
Everyone is shocked and kind of frightened by what Vegeta did, as well as the high scores that the participants before him got. And because the punching machine was destroyed, they have to replace it disrupting the flow of the preliminary assessment.
GOHAN: Ah, Videl, how is your flying skill? Has it improved?
VIDEL: Gohan! Aren't you shocked at what you just witnessed?
GOHAN: Huh? Ah... Ha ha! W-Well, y-yeah...
VIDEL: That man just destroyed the machine! I can't believe it!
Vegeta went to the other Z Fighters.
VIDEL: That group... they are incredible! They surpassed the score that my father set earlier. All of them got 200 points or close. It was amazing! Incredible...
GOHAN: Well, yeah...
Since it will take some time to get the replacement of the punching machine, those who are done with their turn are advised to wait for the result. Goku and the others decided to go see the junior division competition.
VIDEL: They're coming this way... Look at them walk...So confident and... so sure. Who are these people?
Goku stops upon seeing Gohan. Videl is shocked not only because he's one of those contestants who had unbelievable scores in the punching machine.
Tumblr media
VIDEL: (on her mind) This man… it can't be!
GOKU: (looks at Videl) Is she the friend you mentioned earlier?
GOHAN: Uh... yeah...
KRILLIN: Friend, or girlfriend?
Krillin gives Gohan a teasing smile. Gohan gives him an awkward smile.
GOHAN: Krillin, you're embarrassing me.
GOKU: We'll go check on the junior competition.
GOHAN: I'll go after we're finished.
GOKU: Okay... see yah!
The group leaves.
VIDEL: (bewildered) You know those people?
GOHAN: Well, yeah... Actually, that guy in orange gi is my father.
Videl is shocked, and it's because her guess was confirmed.
VIDEL: But... I thought your father is dead!
GOHAN: He is. See that halo above his head? He just came back to join the competition today.
VIDEL: (more confused) What kind of people are you?
Gohan finally realizes what the conversation has turned into. He suddenly does not know how to answer Videl's question. He just looks at her, praying that he did not appear much more strange than he thinks he already seems to her.
At that moment, Videl is finally being able to grasp Gohan's peculiarity a little.
VIDEL: Gohan... there are a lot you haven't told me yet, right?
GOHAN: B-But... what do you want me to tell you?
VIDEL: I don't know... you tell me...
Gohan looks down.
GOHAN: All I can say is that... things that happen in my life and the people around me are not usually what other people experience. Our life is quite different than yours...
Videl looks at Gohan, who is obviously worried. She kind of feels guilty. To console Gohan and somehow fix the situation, she holds his hand.
VIDEL: Different is okay. It's not necessarily bad. Sometimes, it's actually amazing.
Gohan looks at Videl, who smiles at him. He suddenly feels a lot better he was able to smile back.
Videl feels good that Gohan's mood has improved. She likes that he smiled back at her. She likes it a lot it warms her heart. Though it gives her that unexplainable feeling inside her that makes her a little confused and distracted - the feeling that only Gohan was able to give her.
She starts feeling that again, and it makes her feel alarmed. She looks away trying to shake the feeling off, realizing she can't because she can feel her hand holding Gohan's. She lets go of his hand.
But Gohan has other plans. He instead holds her hand, more tightly than she did. Videl looks at their hands holding, then looks at Gohan giving him a questioning look. Gohan grins at her, quite awkwardly, obviously shy, definitely pleading he lets him hold her hand. Videl felt that. She smiles and lets him hold her hand while they wait for their turn in the preliminary assessment.

Dragon Ball 065
Tumblr media
Commander Red is playing golf while he waits for Tao to head back with the Dragon Balls.  Black claps for his performance, but Red gets mad at him until he stoops down.  
Tumblr media
Red rides back to HQ in a special golf cart with a chauffeur and a special seat that lifts him up in the air.   Okay, I think Toei might have been laying it on a little too thick at this point.
Tumblr media
He gets a phone call (there’s a phone in the cart too, natch) informing him that the four Dragon Balls have been detected moving towards Red Ribbon Headquarters.  Red naturally assumes this is General Tao on his way back to drop off the Dragon Balls and collect his fee.  
For those of you keeping score at home, Commander Red has one Dragon Ball on site, the six-star ball which Colonel Silver took from Emperor Pilaf way back in Episode 32.   That leaves two more Dragon Balls unaccounted for.
Tumblr media
No, wait, they found one more.  
Tumblr media
While all this Mercenary Tao business has been going on, Colonel Violet has been quietly searching for the next Dragon Ball, using the more sophisticated Dragon Radar captured from Goku.  I’m not sure how long Violet had been working on this this one, but my guess is that she was already working on this area before, and Red sent her the Dragon Radar to speed things along while Tao was dealing with the Goku problem.  
Tumblr media
On the way back to headquarters, Violet’s riverboat gets attacked by a giant alligator, so she tosses two of her own men overboard to distract it while she makes her escape.   
Tumblr media
So it’s down to her and one other guy, and as they make it to their airplane, they get attacked by an indigenous tribe who lives in the area.  The fox dude gets killed by a spear while Violet stops to check on an injured monkey.  
Tumblr media
I’m not really sure what Toei was trying to say about Violet here.   That she’s an animal lover?  Well, she dumps this monkey almost as soon as she picks him up.  That she’s willing to betray her own men to save her skin?  Well she definitely betrayed the first two, but not the fox guy.   He just died by coincidence.   I almost want to suggest that Colonel Violet is kind of reckless and irresponsible, but it’s hard to be sure of that.   I’m just thinking that Generals White and Blue took greater care in pacifying their search zones before looking for the Dragon Balls.    But those guys didn’t have the advanced Radar to work with, so they knew it would be a long term project.   Violet seems to have tried a hit-and-run strategy here, but the terrain was a little too hostile for that. 
Tumblr media
Anyway, Colonel Violet does escape from all of this, and she’s awesome and I love her.   
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Bulma is still putting the finishing touches on her Goku-watching-drone.   This episode is kind of notable because Launch is in her blonde form, but she seems pretty copacetic for the moment.   I guess there’s nothing to steal, and Bulma’s been around long enough that she’s gotten used to her.
Tumblr media
Violet turns in the Dragon Ball to Commander Red, and points out that the new Radar greatly simplified the task.   She rather shamelessly requests her payment for services rendered, but Red is all-too happy to reward her.   He tells Black to give the Radar to General Copper and put him to work on finding the seventh Dragon Ball.   
We never actually get to see General Copper, just like we never get to see Brown, the unknown leader of Brown Squad.   I’m kind of curious about both of them.   In particular, what would Copper have done about this assignment?   The last Dragon Ball was hidden from radar detection, so using Bulma’s radar would have accomplished nothing.  I guess it doesn’t matter.

Bulma finally finishes her drone, and sends it off on its way.  Geez, this drone is starting to feel like the star of this episode.    I’m gonna call it Droney.
Tumblr media
Droney works pretty well, but the reception isn’t so great, so Bulma recruits Launch to help her install a bigger antenna on the house.   While they do that, Roshi tries to use the drone to watch women take off their clothes, but he ends up seeing a man’s butt instead, which makes him violently ill.   How did Roshi figure out how to pilot the drone so quickly?  Bulma had just turned it on.

This feels like the preview image for a fanfiction.    Droney x Reader.   Tags: Voyeurism, Public Nudity, Robot/Human sex. 
Tumblr media
Launch and Bulma head back down to wonder why Roshi is dry heaving.  Just be grateful that’s all he’s doing.   Now that I think about it, if I were Bulma I’d just carry around a photo of a naked man with me at all times, and show it to Roshi whenever he starts getting fresh.   That’d fix his wagon.
Tumblr media
Droney finally intercepts Goku and flies alongside him for a minute.   Now that Launch sees where Goku is, she realizes that he’s heading for Red Ribbon Headquarters.    Roshi can’t believe Goku would dare such a thing, so Bulma sends Droney on ahead to see what Goku’s in for. 
Tumblr media
Sure enough, Goku’s course does indeed put him on a collision course with Red Ribbon HQ.  The Army fires missiles at Droney, but it dodges like, a million missiles before it finally gets shot down.

Bulma calls home to see if she can get ahold of Yamcha.    Turns out he’s still there, which is good to hear, seeing as they had practically broken up the last time we saw him.   I’m guessing Dr Brief took pity on him and let him move back in, so he wouldn’t have to live on that playground anymore.  
Tumblr media
Oolong doesn’t like the sound of this, but he gets roped into the Goku Rescue Squad before he can duck out.   Basically, the whole gang is convinced that Goku is walking into certain death by attacking RRHQ, and they think the only smart play is to get together and follow him.   Do they just not remember the previous sixty-four episodes?  
Tumblr media
Yamcha arrives on Roshi’s Island, and picks up the rest of the gang.   Well, everyone but Krilln.   He’s not around for some reason.  This is the first time Yamcha and Launch meet, although he just tells her to get in the plane, and she tells him not to rush her. 
Tumblr media
I seriously don’t understand what these guys think they’re going to do.    Bulma and Krillin already helped Goku against the Red Ribbon Army, and they were more of a liability than anything else.   Also, Goku’s been winning so far, so I don’t understand why they’re worried about him.   Yamcha’s just happy for an excuse to get back out into the field, and Launch is happy to have someone to shoot, but if they’re so confident about this, why should they feel less confident about Goku?
This episode closes with an insert song entitled "With a Blazing Heart: Defeat the Red Ribbon Army”.   Check it out.

While this plays, we get a cool highlight reel of Goku’s conflict with the Red Ribbon Army up to this point.   It’s pretty awesome.  
Tumblr media
Do it, Son Goku.  Do it for Droney.
