"NEEEEKOOOOO !!!! AAAAAAUFSTEEEEHÄÄÄÄÄÄN !!!!!!" The one rudely torn from her sweet dreams started up in shock. It took a while to find her way around. Then, however, a torrent of Saiyan curses poured out over the cheeky troublemaker, who had learned straight away that Saiyajins do not like to hear a wake-up call over 120 decibels. In a bad mood, Neko slipped into the bathroom and drove Son - Goten off the sink. He was hopping impatiently on one leg in front of the bathroom door, because he had great news. Unfortunately, his training partner didn't show the slightest interest and that bothered him a lot. "But Neko, it's really something cool!" He assured me. “Don't you really want to know?” The only answer he received was a grunt. But now he couldn't contain himself any longer. “There's a tournament!” He blurted out, “A great martial arts tournament!” Silence. Then the door to the bathroom opened a crack and revealed two eyes that were still looking sleepily, but sparkled with curiosity."Soo ... a tournament so ...?" Said Neko. She smiled belligerently and Goten thought that it was probably the typical "Saiyajin smile", because he had often seen his father smile like that in a fight. "Yes, Dende ... well, God just told me. Trunks and Shika are coming too. They train in the Capsule Corp." - "In the HÄ, PLEASE ?!" - "Trunks lives there. His mother invents stuff, and - "" And, "interrupted Neko," his father? Is he coming too? "Son - Goten grinned. "Sure, he doesn't miss an opportunity to defeat my father! He's coming too. You know, we were only visiting at the Kame House. My father has a student who lives somewhere in the south. Oob - that's his name he - but not fighting. Well. Shika is happy that you are here. She lets you order a nice greeting, see you at the tournament. And you should train hard, otherwise she will send you to the mat. "Neko laughed . "That prankster! She's never done it!"Goten stared." Really ?! And you her "" Neither, "she grinned," No matter what we do, neither can beat the other. In the beginning we both trained like crazy to be the better. But in the meantime we have come to terms with it: It doesn't work. “She leaned back comfortably in her armchair.” Of course, that's our secret dream - to kill the other one! We're Saiyans, "Neko said with a smile." Speaking of which, this will be the surprise of the day! They'll be amazed! "" Hm. "Neko thought again of this strong aura, which seemed so familiar to her. In the meantime she realized that it was that of a Saiyajin, but she had hardly known any other than her parents! She shook her head vigorously to drive the thought away.


Then she passed Goten. He looked after her in amazement. "Hey, where do you want to go ?!" - "Well, where are you going? Training, of course. Are you finally coming, or are you planning to hibernate there?" He'd noticed that he'd been much more involved in training since she'd been there.Did he really only know her a few days


long? What had he been doing all this time without her? "Hey, Neko to Son-Goten in the land of dreams: COME BACK !!!" - "Sorry. Come on. I ... was just thinking-" "What?" "Oh ... just ... what I would do without you. ”Too late he realized what he had said. A blush covered his face. But Neko just gave him a friendly laugh. “I can tell you: Despair in every life situation!” She turned back to the door of the training room. But then she turned around again. "You know what? You're right ... dear." She hated the word "cute". Embarrassed, Goten followed her into the training room.




One week later. "Hey, what are you doing there?" Neko wanted to know. "Our competition suits," was the reply. "They ... look the same? Is the black one for me?" - "Yes. Well, I thought ... we are partners after all. So ... training partner, I meant ..." - "That was cool idea, Goten!Really good! , "she praised. From his words she had already noticed that Trunks was apparently always the leader of the two. Obviously, he was pleased with their positive reaction." We are now flying to the Capsule Corp. And pick up our friends. And then ... GO TO THE TOURNAMENT! "Neko had to laugh at his enthusiasm." Okay, buddy, let's go! "




The Briefs kitchen was full. Gohan, Videl, Trunks and Shika sat at the table and sipped lemonade Mrs. Briefs had provided. "Shika, you fight not badly ... for a person," explained Gohan and received a heavy kick in the shin from Videl. Shika grinned inwardly, but pretended not to notice Videl's warning glances or Gohan's blush. She had deliberately lost in every fight against him, to mislead him. However, she knew very well that he was suspicious. She saw that in his searching looks, which she occasionally caught from him.She had to be careful. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Bulma opened it. Son-Goten's happy voice could be heard. Then Bulma: "And who is that? Your new girlfriend?" - "No," Neko trumpeted before Goten could say anything. "I am his lawyer! Please do not intervene in any pending proceedings, everything you say now can and will be used against you in court!" That was not much, however; "Huh ?!" was the only thing Bulma could think of and that would have been pretty irrelevant in court. Shika had long since jumped up from her chair and ran to the door, where she promptly collided with Neko. PENG! the two sat on their pants. Neko rushed to her friend and fell on her neck. "Hurray !!!" she roared enthusiastically. Shika smiled mildly and patted her on the back. “You have always been an enthusiastic kid.” Then she laughed and gave Neko a hard squeeze. "Man, I missed you a lot!" - "You me too! "-" Tell me, you don't BELIEVE what they have here, a gravity- "-" Hey, this other strange room is hardly- "-" A soda? "-" Thank you, I'm looking forward to the tournament ... "The others gazed with open mouths. One of them interrupted the other, but that didn't seem to affect their mutual understanding in the least." Oh yes! "Shika paused, got up and put a hand on Trunks' shoulder." That's Trunks. Also a half-breed. "-" Your sympathy for me is touching, "said the dryly, while he shook hands with Neko. Neko laughed." I know ... his father was there once, but we blocked the space of time and spirit. "Shika cast a searching look at her friend. She knew her better than anyone and she could hear a strange undertone in Neko's laughter. Trunks' father ... Strangely enough, she had never seen him before. Only felt an aura sometimes, completely weak, as if from far away ... Apparently he was constantly suppressing her.'Well,' thought Shika, 'we'll see at the tournament!'




There were 7408 fighters who gathered at the stadium the following day to be better than everyone else. However, eight knew that no one but them would manage to take the first places: Son-Goku, Son-Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, Son-Goten, Shika and Neko. Videl and Pan also took part, but of course they fought out of competition. The "Fabulous Four", as Son-Goten jokingly called the quartet, looked around at the other Z fighters when the preliminary round was over. Trunks finally suggested that they simply go to the half-open room behind the ring, where they would be sure to find the wanted person. Shika and Neko exchanged a look. They both thought the same: 'And we'll see Trunks' father. 'They entered the room. “Hello!” Goku waved cheerfully to them. "Haven't seen you for a long time, guys! Hello, Neko! You must be Shika. I'm Goku, I'm happy!"He laughed at Shika. She smiled back." Nice to meet you too. "They shook hands. Then he turned to his youngest and started a conversation with him. Shika took Neko aside:" Definitely Bardock's son, eh? But he's really nice, not such a big puke like Raditz! " - "Not true? Hard to believe that they are brothers! And no trace of arrogance, although apparently he is the strongest warrior in the universe! "-" Well, I'm dying to fight him! "At that moment they heard Gohan calling:" Piccolo! It's great that you are here! “They looked around and saw Gohan standing next to a 2 meter tall green creature.” This is Shika and Neko. Friends of Goths and Trunks. You fight with. "The two Saiyajins grinned. The Namekian's appraising look had not escaped them. It would pass him by! Then Piccolo looked at a lonely figure leaning against the wall, who had crossed his arms and was watching the others with penetrating eyes."Hello, Vegeta." The person addressed only replied with a cool nod. Shika and Neko had spun around at Piccolo's greeting, staring at Vegeta. Shika was the first to respond. She grabbed Neko and disappeared with her behind a pillar. They continued to stare, wide-eyed, but this time at each other. "Vegeta ???" Shika whispered perplexed. "This is PRINCE VEGETA ?????" whispered Neko. Then both of them breathed: "THAT'S STILL LIVING ?????? !!!!!!!" - "Hey!" Trunks and Son-Goten peeked behind the column. “Where are you?” WUSCH! The two were grabbed by the collar. "You never told me your father was the Saiyan prince, Trunks !!" Shika hissed. "And you never said anything to me either, Goten!" Neko hissed. The two tried to defend themselves, but the only result was: "Uhhhx! Urrrgh! Hähbäh !!!" - "Oh!" Trunks and Goten were released. "So ... we just don't show anything!" Suggested Neko. "Good. Then -" - "Hey! Are you four coming out again?The draw for the next round of matches begins! "That was Goku." We're coming! "Fortunately they had put on thin jackets over their suits, which hid their monkey tails." The rules are different again, "explained Gohan angrily." They are getting stupid and stupid! Now the remaining ten participants fight and with the best five there is Battle Royal! "Everyone nodded. Videl and Pan were already eliminated. They had accidentally hit too lightly. Besides the eight Z-fighters, there were two other people: Memory and Domino." Ah, that's our fan club! , "Son-Goten laughed and waved to
