It's been a few days since the group returned from their space adventure to wish Goku back with the Dragon Balls. Midday sun filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows in Y/N's cozy apartment. Raditz, a towering Saiyan with wild, untamed hair, paced the floor, his dark eyes scanning the room as he waited. He was growing impatient, expecting Y/N to return at any moment. What he wasn't expecting were the two guests she brought with her.

"O-oh, Raditz!" Y/N exclaimed, her face flushing with surprise. She hadn't anticipated finding him in her living room. The two guests followed her in, and Raditz's eyes widened in shock.

The first guest had striking red skin and long, flowing white hair, a resident of space Australia and unmistakably a former member of the Ginyu Force. The second was even more imposing: nearly seven feet tall, with blue skin flecked with purple. His piercing red eyes left no doubt—it was Burter. All color drained from Raditz's face as they stepped inside. Hell, he even dropped his old favorite WINX cup. An awkward silence filled the room, the tension so thick it was almost tangible.

"Y/N, please step away from those two," Raditz commanded, his voice steady but laced with an edge of urgency.

"What—why?" she questioned, glancing back at the two men before slowly moving closer to Raditz.

"Yeah, why should she step away from us?" the shorter one, with an unmistakable Australian accent, challenged.

"What are you doing here?!" Raditz demanded, his tone shifting to one of incredulity. "You're supposed to be dead! Along with the Ginyu Force and Namek!"

"Listen up, buddy," Burter started, his voice echoing throughout the room. "We've had a genuine change of heart. That's why we're here."

"Uh-huh. And let me guess, Ginyu betrayed Frieza too?" Raditz shot back, skepticism etched across his features.

"Well... more like he betrayed us," Burter admitted, his tone darkening.

"Right," Raditz drawled, stretching the word out. "Is it just you two from the force or...?"

"Actually, Recoome is also here!" the Australian man, Jeice, announced with a smirk. Raditz froze for a moment, his mind racing. 'What had these idiots done to turn half of the Ginyu Force on their side?' he wondered. Shaking off his thoughts, he felt a small measure of relief—fewer enemies to worry about, at least for now.

"Why don't you two stay for lunch?" Y/N suggested, breaking the silence with a warm smile. Jeice's face lit up with happiness at her offer, while Burter simply nodded in agreement.

With their acceptance, Y/N headed to the kitchen to prepare a meal. Raditz, trying to ease the tension, suggested they play some video games on Y/N's console. Her PlayStation 3 whirred to life, revealing a plethora of games to choose from. Only Jeice knew how to use the joysticks, so he took the opportunity to teach the others. After a brief tutorial, they settled on Rayman Legends, a game Jeice thought would be both fun and easy for beginners. Noticing Y/N had already completed the game, he decided to be 'a little silly' (his words, not mine) and reset her progress. The three started the game, with Jeice as Rayman, Raditz as the Teensies, and Burter as Globox.

"You know, big guy," Raditz said, referring to Burter, "Globox sure does suit you. Both are fat, blue, and annoying, aren't they, Jeice?"

Jeice snorted but defended the game character, saying he wasn't annoying. This only irritated Burter more, and he exhaled dramatically, though he hated to admit they did look somewhat alike. And so, their gameplay began.

(Time skip an hour later)

"Guys! Lunch is done!" Y/N called from the kitchen. The trio quickly emerged from the living room, drawn by the enticing aromas. As she set the table, the three men took their seats. She served them homemade chicken soup, and they began eating. Much to Jeice's and Burter's surprise, Raditz finished his plate within a minute and was already pouring more soup from the pot. After the three non-Saiyans finished their plates, Raditz had consumed all the leftover soup, totaling three more plates. Y/N chuckled softly as Jeice and Burter stared at Raditz in disbelief.
