Family
By Diamondsky17


'Family,' thought Shin, 'Is the core of all joy and fulfillment.' After spending time with the Sayins on Earth he realized that family is what he needed for happiness. Or rather a child to love. But since he loved no female it would pose as a problem. For a child needed to be created by love.

'At this rate,' he thought with a deep, heart wrenching sorrow, 'I will never be happy.' With that thought, two tears fell from his face. Sparkling like jewels in the sun they landed on his palm. With a brilliant flash of light the tears transformed into a child.

It was a girl. The child had long white wavy hair, purple skin, and eyes shaped like oversized almonds. She was an exact replica of Shin. If you ignored the long white furry tail sprouting from her spine.

The child was crying. It sounded like music to Shin. He had a child, born from the tears of his soul and the tears from his heart. With a slight smile he said, "Hello, young child. I promise to stay here to protect you as any father would. I shall name you Melody." A smile appeared on the child's face and she slowly fell into a deep, silent sleep.

~( 8 years later )~

"Daddy! I'm board!" Melody left her room and was so upset her tail was twitching. Shin turned to see her standing in his private quarters. "I know you're board, Honey. But you have to face the fact that there are no Kids your age around here for you to play with. You have all you need right here. Toys, clothing, family, training equipment. I know you need friends but their aren't any kids your age on this planet."

"Then can't I go to a planet were there are people my age? I want to do other stuff than the palace stuff. I know how to fight, use my power, and I know how to counterattack. Can't I pleeeeeeeeaaaaasssseeeee go to a tournament to test my strength? I'll be good! And I won't hurt anyone real bad, I promise It'll only be for a day!" he was about to say no when he looked at her pleading eyes. He cracked.

"Alright," he sighed, " you can go to a tournament. But I will follow you. That way you won't get into trouble. Is that fine with you?" "That's fine with me Daddy! Come on! Let's go now!" she said grabbing him by the hand and pulling him towards the Teleportation room. "Hold on Melody. First we need to find a planet that's hosting a tournament. The we can go."

"Computer! Locate a small planet, with not many strong fighters, that is holding a martial arts tournament." The computer buzzed back "Earth will be hosting the World Martial Arts Tournament tomorrow. Suggestion: Since you normally show up during major crisis I suggest both you and Melody wear a disguise." "Good idea computer. Download appropriate gear!" "Computing."

Two tube-like machines came down from the roof and fell over their bodies. Purple smoke began to pour out of the bottom. When the tube lifted off the floor Shin and Melody were in their disguises. Shin had on light blue jeans, a lavender sweater, a white baseball cap, and sunglasses. Melody had on a gi that looked like Goku's only it was black and white. Her hair was in a braided ponytail and was wrapped in a bun. "You look funny Daddy. I like your cloths though. Can we go now?"

"First I need to lay down some rules. Now most human children aren't that strong so you need to hold back. Use only 20% of your strength. If a child has powers you can use only 10% of your powers. I don't want you killing anyone. And that means no going Super, Mega, or Thrill. I mean it. Rule #2 Don't bother adults that are meditating. And Rule #3 Don't tell anyone I'm the Supreme Kai. I don't want those Sayins to think there's trouble on the planet. Do you understand?" "Yes, Daddy. Now come on. I don't want to miss anything."

~( At the Tournament)~

"Welcome to the World Martial Arts Tournament! Coming from all across the world all the strongest fighters are here to duke it out! And here comes the returning champ Hercule! Now as everyone knows Hercules' been champ for over a decade! Will anyone have the strength to take out the longest reigning champ in history? Let's find out!" The announcer was yelling threw a megaphone.

Melody and Shin had just transmitted down and were walking towards the Registration Booth. "Hello," the elderly man behind the counter said, "Registration has changed. Whoever is participating in either the Jr. Competition or the Adult Title please walk threw those doors so one of our registered doctors can put you in a rank." Shin just smiled and sent Melody threw. While he was waiting he glanced up over the newspaper he was reading and saw the Z fighters come in. Gasping he lifted the paper so they wouldn't see him.

Meanwhile in the interview. "Hello young lady." The doctor smiled at Melody. She smiled back. "Well congratulations you're the first girl I've seen in the Jr. Competition I've seen for three years." "Really?" "Yup. All the other girls are becoming Fighter Assistants. Fighter Assistants, or as they like to be called F-Aissist, get assigned to a fighter and help them by getting them water, food or anything else they need. Most girls sign up so they can meet famous fighters. Well I need to ask a few questions." "Ok."

"First of all, How old are you?"
"Eight."
"How tall are you?"
"I'm 3 feet tall. Can't you tell?"
"Gender, female of course."
"Naw, I'm a boy. I just have long hair." She said sarcastically.
"Weight?"
"I currently weigh 30 pounds."

"Well we need to weigh you just in case." Melody stepped onto the scale just as the z fighters stepped into the room with Vegeta muttering about 'damn tests'. It rang up to 60 lbs. "Wow. I thought you weighed 30 pounds!" "I do I just fight with weights on. It increases my strength. I always put my equal weight on. That means if I weighed 100 pounds I'd put on 100 extra pounds for weight." "That's fine. Um, do you have any special powers that could hurt regular people?"

She turned and put on a glare that would freeze Vegeta. Sneering she said "Let me quess. You don't want anyone to get hurt. Now let me tell you something," All this wile the Z fighters are watching in amusement, "Don't ask personal questions like that to any fighter. How would that help you anyway? I thought you earned money by helping people. Let me quess. Is Hercule worried about losing? If so then give him this message. You can't be champ forever and I'm NOT a fan!" with that she left.

"Next." The doctor said shakily. "Alright, Daddy. I'm finished. We can go meat people now." Melody smiled and dragged him away. "Melody! First we need to put our luggage in our room. We have to stay overnight. Now lets move it." "Aww Daddy! You always make excuses! Can't we do that later?" sighing Shin said, "Fine, you go make friends. This is our room number. Come back before the Sun sets. Understand?" "Yes Daddy. I love you." With that she left Shin muttering to himself 'You're the one who wanted a kid.'

Melody walked threw the arc into the practice arena. She was wearing sunglasses and watching the fighters movements. She felt someone sit next to her. Turning she said "Hi, I'm Melody. Who are you?" "I'm Goten. Are you in the Jr. Competition?" smiling she said "Yes. I'm eight. How old are you?" "I'm fifteen. This year I plan to win because my friend Trunks moved up to the Adult Division." "Yes, but this year you're fighting me. I don't take dives." "That's fine with me. Do you want to go eat lunch with me? I'm starving." "Sure. I'm hungry too."

Standing up they both ran to the cafeteria. It was swarming with F-Assist's all running back and forth getting food for the fighters. Watching Melody said, "I can't believe how lazy these fighters are. It's a 20 feet stroll to the line and the water bottle bin. Come on we can get food ourselves." She got Goten and pulled him into the line. She took a large amount of food for someone her size. She stacked three trays high with loots of rice, vegetables, milk, bread, and four trays with dessert and candy. Goten had that and doubled.

They found a table and began wolfing down the food at the same pace. As they were eating all the Z-fighters walked in. Vegeta seemed disgusted at the sight of the F-Assist's running to get food and water wile the fighter's sat down in comfort. "Who do they think these children are? Their Mates? It's disgusting." After he said that he hear a lot of gasps coming from the other side of the room. The Z-fighters (oops, only Piccolo, Krillin, Goku, Trunks, Vegeta, and Gohan that is) decided to investigate. Looking at the site of Goten and Melody eating Goku smiled.

"That was yummy." Said Melody when they were finished 10 seconds later. "It sure was. And I'm still hungry." Said Goten frowning a little "Don't worry Goten I'll get you something." Jumping off her chair she 'eeped' as she passed Piccolo and ran to the line. "I think you scared her
Piccolo." Said Goten. "So, tell me Goten." Krillin said with a smirk "Who's the kid? Are you babysitting for someone?" "Her name's Melody, She's eight. And I'm NOT babysitting. I'm going to fight her in the Jr. Competition. Fighters don't baby-sit right Vegeta?" "Right. Not unless threatened by physical torture." It was at this moment that Melody speed past Piccolo with about twenty trays and set ten of them in front of Goten. "Don't overeat during the competition tomorrow or you'll get a cramp and loose easily to someone." She warned. Then she started to suck up the food in front of her.

"She eats just like you Vegeta. You know wolfing everything down but without spilling stuff and getting food on her face." Said Gohan observing her. Looking up she saw the sun setting threw the window. "Oh no! I'm supposed to be in the hotel before the sun sets! Man! My Daddy is going to ground me till I'm 16M (M means Million, B means Billion). I have to split. See you tomorrow in the ring Goten."

With that she sped off. Shin was eating a small bowl of rice when Melody came in. "Hi Daddy. I made a new friend today." "Just one?" he sait with a smirk "Miss. Popularity only made one friend?" "Stop teasing Daddy. I'm gonna fight him tomorrow. I need to go to sleep. Se you tomorrow Daddy." Smiling she went to her room and shut the door "I'm the one who wanted a kid. And I'm glad I did." Shin smiled.
