DBZ: In This Forever

Valentine's Day Special!

In the Future...

"Son Goku! If you don't stop yelling like that, I will never cook for you again!"

Goku froze mid-transformation, his hair falling back into place as he sheepishly looked back to his wife. "S-Sorry, Cheech. I got a little carried away." She crossed her arms, letting out a sigh and turning away. "Do you even know what day it is, Goku? Or are you too busy training to even care?"

She heard him giggle a little and growled, turning with her hand raised before freezing when she saw him.

"Sorry I didn't give it to you sooner. I had Zara and Bulma help me out." He held out a large bundle of flowers to her. "I was gonna give these to you after we went for our walk today." She took the flowers and smiled as she looped her arm through his, letting him lead her down the trail they walked every day. "I guess you're not that simple after all."

"Come on, King Kai! I have to know more if this is gonna work!" The Kai shook his head, turning his back on Zara as she pressed her hands together. "No! I'm not telling you anything else about Saiyan culture, especially when it involves something they didn't even practice!"

She let her head down in defeat before her eyes lit up, a thought occurring as she stood. "Okay, then I'll just go to the source!" She pressed two fingers to her head, fazing from sight.

She reappeared in Hell, shifting her weight to one foot as she tested the gravity. "Been a while since I fell down here. Now, how do I bring a group of Saiyans to me?" She perked up and slapped her forehead. "Duh!" She clenched her fists and bared her teeth as her aura swirled around her, her hair standing up and flashing into gold.

"Now, we wait." She crossed her arms, waiting until she heard multiple people landing. "Who are you, woman?" She turned, narrowing her eyes slightly as she counted 14 Saiyans standing before her. "My name is Zara Kirigami. I'm a Saiyan sent to the planet Earth. I'm the Super Saiyan who killed Frieza." The Saiyans looked around amongst each other before one stepped forward, Zara's eyes widening as she saw a familiar hairstyle.

"Did Kakarot survive? You were the one sent with him, right?" Zara dropped to her base form, taking in Bardock's appearance.

"Yes, he did. He's happily married with two kids, and a Super Saiyan like me. Prince Vegeta is as well. He and I have a child named Amara. He's actually the reason I came here. I need your help."

The Saiyans looked at each other before nodding and straightening out. "What do you need, Super Saiyan?"

She dropped to her knees and slammed her hands together in a pleading motion, her eyes wide. "Please tell me what you guys did for Valentine's Day!"

Vegeta marched through the halls of the Capsule Corp building, impatiently tapping his fingers against his arm as he searched for Zara. "That damn woman. Making me stop my training, and for what?"

He glanced out the window and choked on air at what he saw. "W-What the hell?!"

He hurried outside and stared at Zara's back as she grumbled, fumbling with the latch on the armor she wore. "How the hell does this even work...It's like the first time I wore a bra." There was a click and she stood, laughing as she turned. "Yes! I did...it. Oh." She gave Vegeta a sheepish smile and waved.

Zara was in full Saiyan armor, minus the top part of the bodysuit. The vest had no shoulder pads, and her bracers were smaller on her in comparison to the one's Radditz and Nappa wore. "I was gonna sneak into the Gravity Chamber and surprise you. You weren't suppose to see me."

He walked around her, his eyes narrow as he stopped in front of her. "Your colors are wrong."

She raised her eyebrows and looked down at the brown armor. "Those are the colors for the Champion of the King. Yours should be the Royal colors."

Zara looked up to him and tilted her head. "But, the Vegeta I met in Hell said I was the champion."

"That doesn't matter. You're royalty first, Champion second. Now come on, we're fixing those colors."

She grabbed his hand and smirked, her hair flashing for a moment. "After we find out how much this armor can take."

He looked back and smirked back at the look in her eyes. "Maybe those colors do suit you better."

Amara and Goten looked up from their controllers and watched Vegeta lead Zara into the Gravity Chamber. Goten sighed and handed her a piece of paper as she smirked. "I told you they'd go in there."

Goten looked around and remembered Bulma was out of town. "Trunks is out on a date, right?"

Amara nodded, more focused on the fight on the screen. "So we're all alone?"

She paused the game, turning to face Goten and lean in. "You know what that means?" He smirked and leaned in as well. "I sure do."

Amara threw another handful of popcorn into her mouth as she kicked her feet, watching the screen as Goten's character died once more. "Ya know, this is much more entertaining upside down." Goten grumbled as he passed her the controller. "I'm telling you, Mara, nobody can beat a level 9 CPU!"

She shrugged and pressed the enter button on the controller, pressing three buttons before the announcer shouted "GAME!"

"OH, COME ON"
