Red Ribbon Army

Dragon arrived at Bulma's House, it was a huge building with 'Capsule Corp.' on the front. He looked up and whistled, it was a massive building. Bulma giggled and said "My dad's a scientist! Pretty amazing huh?" Dragon nodded and said "Yeah! How are you gonna explain me?" he looked at himself, he was still in the Gi Roshi gave him. Bulma held his arm and said "My dad doesn't care." as she dragged him to the door and knocked.

A blond woman opened the door and said "Bulma!" as she hugged Bulma, who smiled and said "Hey sis!" before saying "This is my boyfriend Dragon." the woman let go of Bulma and looked Dragon up and down before saying "Tights. Nice to meet you." Dragon scratched his head before stretching his hand out and saying "Same here." she shook his hand and said to Bulma "He's handsome, why is he here?" Bulma dragged her sister away to explain what Dragon was doing here, while Dragon just stood in the doorway unsure of what to do next.

He walked inside and looked around, it was a normal house but there was high tech science equipment everywhere. Even robot maids, he had never seen anything like it, he wandered around by his lonesome and saw a man sitting in a garden area with a bunch of animals.

The man was short and had blue hair with a white mustache, he looked over and said "Hello, who are you?" Dragon waved and said "Dragon, nice to meet you." the man smiled and said "Dr. Brief, nice to meet you as well." Dragon said "You're Bulma's father?" Dr. Brief nodded and said "You know my daughter?" Dragon scratched his head and said "I'm her boyfriend aha.." Dr. Brief spit out his tea and said "Bulma's boyfriend?!" he got up and walked around Dragon a few times before saying "You have a tail?"

Dragon nodded and said "I was born with it." Dr. Brief squinted for a while before patting him on the shoulders and saying "Alright. Make her happy!" Dragon blinked and said "So easy?" Dr, Brief chuckled and shrugged before pulling out a book that said 'How to react when you're daughter brings home a boyfriend for the first time' Dragon felt his eye twitch and said "Pretty specific." Dr. Brief nodded and handed him the book saying "Very informative. It's useless now though. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Dragon took the book and said "Um actually Bulma said she could help me train, I was wondering if you could help as well?" Dr. Brief rubbed his chin and said "A fighter eh? Let me see what I can do for ya." Dragon thanked him as he walked away before looking through the book, he sighed and mumbled "This is useless to me.." as he threw it over his shoulder.

The book flew over his shoulder and disappeared into the void.

In a different World entirely

The book appeared and flew through the air. It flew over the seas and smashed into a man with a long nose's face, the man blinked and picked up the book, he read through it and exclaimed "I'M SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT?!" he looked around and hid the book in his overalls before he heard a yell "Usopp! Let's go were leaving!" Usopp nodded and ran after his friends.

Back at Capsule Corp.

Dragon was walking around, he sat down on a couch and sank into it. He still had his turtle shell on, it was extremely heavy, he had trouble even walking around but he forced himself to walk with it on at all times. He would probably take it off when he went to bed this time because he was probably sleeping with Bulma again and she complained last time, he didn't want to make her angry, that was the scariest thing in the world. He shuddered at the thought and Bulma walked into the room saying "I found you!"

Dragon was embarrassed and said "I got lost..." Bulma giggled and said "Everybody does, come with me!" Dragon got up slowly and followed her. The duo reached Dr. Brief's lab and he turned around and said "Hey you two!" Bulma blinked and said "You know him already?" Dr. Brief nodded and smiled as he said "He's your boyfriend, we already talked." Bulma had her mouth wide open and Dragon chuckled, she looked at him and pouted before saying "I wanted to tell him!" Dragon smiled and said "Sorry, it was an accident." she sighed and said "Anyway! I took your suit and I'm going to make it weighted, how heavy do you want?"

Dragon said "Probably as heavy as this shell." as he pointed at the shell on his back, Bulma nodded and said "No problem! But before that we need to go buy you some clothes. The last ones I bought you exploded!" before dragging him out the door.

A while later

Dragon was holding a ton of boxes and bags as Bulma opened the door to her house and sighed happily "Having a boyfriend is the best!" Dragon chuckled and shook his head as he walked in, he said "Where do I put them?" Bulma blushed and said "In my room.." he said "Were sleeping together again?" Bulma blushed even harder and said "Well there's not enough rooms so.." Dragon nodded and followed her, unaware that there were in fact many rooms he could've stayed in.

He put down the clothes in her room and she tackled him saying "You're the best!" Dragon was confused and said "What did I do?" Bulma kissed him passionately and said "Nothing. You're just the best." he chuckled and kissed her back as he said "Alright that makes sense." she giggled and hugged him.

A few days later

Dragon was training at Capsule Corp when Bulma, who went back to school came back and said "Dragon! Goku's here!" Dragon got up and walked over to them saying "Hey Goku!" Goku smiled and said "Dragon! I'm going to find the dragon balls again, wanna come?" Dragon nodded and said "Can I get a wish?" Goku smiled and said "Sure!" Bulma said "I want to come too!" the trio cleaned up, ate some food, fixed the dragon radar, and departed.

Bulma popped out of Dragon's jacket pocket while he was sitting on Goku's Nimbus and said "This is so cool!" Dragon laughed and gently pinched her tiny cheeks saying "You're really cute! Like a little elf!" Bluma rubbed her cheeks and giggled as she looked around.

Dragon was wearing a denim jacket, it had the Capsule Corp logo on it and a pocket on his chest, it was a short jacket that ended right above his navel. He had a white shirt and jeans with red sneakers. Bulma decided to cut his hair and it was shorter now but still spiked up, there was a spike that fell onto his face. He looked really good, Bulma had pretty good taste and she almost fainted when she saw him the other day.

Goku flew over the ocean and the dragon radar beeped, he left Dragon and Bulma on an island and dove into the ocean. Dragon had Bulma sitting on his shoulder as he explored the island, Bulma reverted to her normal sized form and two men saw her, the duo started drooling and walked up saying "Hey pretty lady! Wanna co-" Dragon punched both of them in the head as a vein popped up on his forehead, the duo were sent flying across the sky and never heard from again.

Bulma giggled and said "Jealous~" Dragon scrunched up his face and said childishly "Maybe." Bulma giggled and held his arm as they continued exploring, Goku landed in front of them and said "It's too deep." Dragon chuckled and Bulma said "We don't have a submarine.." Goku said "I know! Master Roshi has one!" Bulma grimaced and Dragon said "Let's go!" Goku grinned and they got on his nimbus while Bulma shrank down and got in Dragon's chest pocket.

A while later

The trio landed on Roshi's island and Goku asked him for a submarine, Roshi rubbed his chin and said "Anything to trade?" Bulma gave him her bracelet as she grew back to normal size, Roshi took it excitedly and said "This is perfect!" he gave them a submarine capsule and ran into the house, Dragon chuckled and said "I love that old man." Goku smiled and the trio left, Krillin and Yamcha stayed to train and the trio used the submarine to go after the dragon balls.

They reached an underground cave but suddenly a larger submarine appeared behind them and started shooting torpedoes at them. Bulma drove the submarine to the end of the cave and they got out and ran away, Goku said "Those guys again." Bulma said "Those guys? You fought them before?" Goku nodded and said "Yeah a whole bunch of them!" Bulma snapped "Why didn't you say that before!" Goku scratched his head and said "You never asked!" Dragon laughed and Bulma sighed, she hopped on Dragon's back and said "Carry me!" Dragon was amused and held her legs as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder with a smile.

The trio came across a pirate robot, who immediately slashed at them with a sword. Goku punched it in the head and Dragon kicked it in half, while still holding Bulma. Goku gasped and said "You got stronger?" Dragon grinned and replied "I have a full weighted suit, plus Gramps' shell, and I have weights on my wrists and ankles right now." Goku rubbed his chin and said "Weights eh?" Dragon grinned at him, he wanted the next tournament to be a good fight, he was doing everything he could to train harder and become stronger.

A fire lit inside Goku's heart and he decided he was going to train 4x as hard as Dragon as they made their way through the hideout. Suddenly a giant octopus attacked Goku and split the group apart, Dragon and Bulma fell into the water and Goku fought the octopus.

Dragon and Bulma sank and Dragon spun her around and kissed her, giving her his oxygen as he swam towards a surface point, she looked at him while he was giving her air and her gaze softened, she said they were dating and she did like him but he just saved her from drowning. She was surprised and yelped when they fell into the water, so she didn't have air at all and she assumed he didn't have much either but he immediately put her safety above his own. Her heartbeat accelerated and her feelings started becoming different towards him, before she said that she loved him too because he told her, but now it was different, she meant it.

The duo surfaced in a room full of treasure and Dragon coughed out some water before saying "Are you okay?" Bulma smiled and nodded before saying softly "I love you." Dragon froze a bit, as he felt it was different this time, he didn't know why but he was extremely happy. He smiled and said "I love you too." she kissed him gently and looked around.

There was treasure all over the room and the duo went through all of it before finding a dragon ball. Bulma picked it up and waved it saying "I found it!" Dragon chuckled and said "Great! What do we do with the rest of the treasure?" Bulma smirked and threw out a capsule, it poofed into a giant chest as she said "Put it all in here!" Dragon smirked and threw all the treasure into the chest and Bulma pressed a button, turning it back into a capsule before putting it in her pocket and saying "We're going shopping later~" Dragon turned green.

Suddenly

A blonde haired man showed up and said "Hand over the dragon ball." Bulma frowned and said "Back off pal." The man sneered and said "I guess I'll take it by force!" as he threw a punch at Bulma, Dragon appeared in front of him and said "What was that?" as he caught the man's fist and punched him in the stomach.

The man flew out and slammed against a wall and coughed out some blood as he fell to the ground. Dragon charged up a Kamehameha as the man slowly stood up, Dragon charged at him and thrusted his hands right into the man, shooting a Kamehameha only the man's stomach and sending him flying before exploding and shaking the cave. Goku fell down to them and Dragon grabbed Bulma in his arms as he blocked some debris with his back, Bulma gasped and looked worried, Dragon smiled at her and the group left in the blond man's submarine.

A while later

The trio were at Bulma's house and she said "It's too dangerous for me.." Dragon caressed her face and said "I'll be back later okay? Stay safe here." Bulma nodded and hugged him saying "Be careful.. I love you." Dragon kissed her deeply and said "I will, I love you too." he chuckled "I'll be back before you know it!" Bulma giggled and waved at the duo as they left, Tights came out and said "He left?" Bulma sighed and said "For a while.." she turned around and told her sister everything that happened, Tights whistled and said "Sounds like a hero to me." Bulma smiled brightly and went inside.

Goku and Dragon were sitting on the cloud and following the dragon radar, it started beeping and the duo flew after the beeps. They landed in a village and beat all the red ribbon army soldiers before meeting the village chief and his son, Bora said "Thank you for saving my village heroes! My name is Bora and this is my son Upa!" Dragon and Goku introduced themselves and talked with the village chief, Goku picked up the four star dragon ball and put it in his shirt pocket with a smile, suddenly a pillar landed in front of them.

Bora threw a spear at the man but he caught it and threw it back, Dragon caught the spear and threw it away before grabbing Upa and Bora and bringing them to safety as Goku fought against the man, who claimed to be 'Mercenary Tao'. Goku fought against Tao, but too a Dodon Ray to the chest and passed out, Dragon arrived and shot forward at Tao.

He kicked Tao in the back of the legs and tripped him before punching him in the face and kicking him away as he started charging a Kamehameha. Tao flipped and fired a Dodon Ray at Dragon, who fired a Kamehameha. The two beams collided in the middle and after a brief struggle the Dodon Ray pierced the Kamehameha and struck Dragon in the chest, sending him flying into a tree, unknown if dead or alive. Tao smirked and stole the dragon balls and left, he didn't notice the 4 star dragon ball in Goku's clothes.

A while later

Goku woke up and ran over to Dragon and shook him saying "Dragon! Are you okay?!" Dragon coughed and sat up, he pulled out a piece of metal and stared at it sadly, he was a special capsule box from Bulma, it was a gift. He grit his teeth and said "I'm going to kill that guy." Goku let out a breath of relief and said "I thought you died!" Dragon waved the box and said "Bulma's gift saved me, but now it's broken." Goku said "Just get a new one after!" as he smiled, Dragon smiled and Bora and Upa showed up saying "You're both alive?!"

The duo nodded and Bora said "I was watching from a far, that man was extremely strong!" the duo clenched their fists, they weren't strong enough, it was extremely frustrating. Upa said "What about the sacred water at the top of the tower father?" Bora nodded and said "That's right!" the duo looked at Bora, who explained "There a legend of Korin tower, if you manage to climb to the top and drink from the sacred water, you will become extremely strong!" the duo looked at the tower and grinned at each other.

They bid farewell to Bora and Upa and started climbing the tower. Dragon said "First one up wins!" as he climbed faster, Goku grinned and caught up to him. The duo continued to push each other and after an extremely long climb they finally reached the top. They panted and saw a talking cat, who said "I know what you want. You'll have to get the water from me if you want to drink it!" Dragon and Goku lunged at the cat, who dodged and laughed as he said "I'm Korin. The last person to get the water was your Master, 300 years ago and it only took him 3 years to get it!"

Dragon and Goku were alarmed, they didn't have that kind of time and they started moving faster and tried to get the water from Korin as the time flew by. Night rolled around and the duo were panting on the ground, Korin fed the two Senzu Beans and threw them off the tower.

The duo plummeted to the ground and caught themselves before climbing back up the tower, faster than the first time and doing the same thing all over again only to be thrown off the tower over and over again as they tried to get the sacred water.

3 days later

Dragon and Goku finally got the sacred water and shared it before finding out it was only ordinary tap water. Dragon was confused and Korin said "It's not the water that makes you strong its the training!" as he bonked Dragon on the head with his staff, he did it once and liked the feeling so he did it again and now it was his favorite thing to do. Dragon rubbed his head and grumbled hatefully at the cat that kept hitting him with a staff. The duo thanked Korin and left the tower, feeling like new people.

They reached the ground and saw Tao again, Tao was surprised to see them alive, but shrugged, he'll just have to kill them again. Dragon charged at him, twice as fast as last time. Tao was shocked and leapt back, Dragon jumped up at him and threw a fist at his head, sending Tao flying into the ground. Dragon stomped down and smashed his foot into Tao's head. Dragon leapt into the air and fired a Kamehameha at Tao, incinerating him, before landing back on the ground and leaving with Goku.

Goku followed the Dragon Radar and flew towards Red Ribbon Base. The people at RR base thought it was Tao coming back but by the time they noticed it was too late. Goku and Dragon tore through the RR base and destroyed almost everything, they got to a room and Goku fought against a guy named Mr. Black, while Dragon ran after an extremely short guy with an eye patch and red hair, named Mr. Red.

Dragon kicked Mr. Red through the wall and caused the ceiling to collapse on Goku and Mr. Black, Dragon wasn't concerned as he knew Goku was stronger than that and continued to beat the shit out of Mr. Red. As expected Goku popped out of the rubble and continued his fight with Mr. Black, he defeated him and Dragon grabbed the rest of the dragon balls before the duo left towards Master Roshi's house.

The duo landed and saw Bulma there too, surprisingly. Dragon hopped down and hugged her saying "What are you doing here?!" Bulma smiled and said "I thought you would come here so here I am!" Dragon picked her up and brought her somewhere else as Goku explained that he couldn't find the last ball.

Dragon put Bulma down and sighed, she frowned and said "What happened?" Dragon pulled out the ruined capsule box and said "It saved my life but it got ruined.." Bulma gasped and checked him all over saying "Saved your life?! Are you okay?!" Dragon blinked and expected her to be upset as he said "You're not upset?" Bulma snapped "Why would I be upset?!" Dragon said "It was a gift and now it's ruined." Bulma slapped him and yelled "Idiot! You almost died! I;m glad it saved you, I can get you a new one! Are you really a retard?!"

Dragon choked and said "I guess so." Bulma sighed and said "I'm just happy you're alive!" as she kissed him deeply, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer as he returned the kiss. Bulma separated and panted with a red face as she said "You're not allowed to die on me! You understand!?" Dragon smiled and nodded as he put the capsule box back in his jacket pocket and joined the rest of the group.

A while later

They meet an old lady sitting on a floating crystal ball, she said "Ah brother! Come to find something you lost again?" Roshi scratched his head and said "Come on Baba. We haven't seen each other in years!" Babe scoffed and Goku said "Can you find the last dragon ball for me?" Baba said "1 million Zeni! Not a single Zeni less!" the group shook their heads, they didn't have that much.

Goku said "Is there any other way?" Baba said "You have to fight my 5 fighters and win." the group decided to fight them, Krillin went first and got his ass handed to him from a vampire. Dragon went up and kicked the vampire guy, sending him flying into the sky. The group watched him go and Baba gasped before sending an invisible man out.

Dragon looked around and didn't see anything, suddenly his was punched in the stomach and spit out some saliva. Dragon closed his eyes and listened carefully, he heard footsteps from the right and punched out with his eyes closed, he opened his eyes and chuckled as the blood on his fist. He found the invisible man from the floating blood and tackled him to the ground before punching wildly at the ground, sometimes missing and sometimes hitting, until he heard "I surrender! I'm gonna die!"

Dragon hopped off him and said "Stupid invisible man.." the group moved inside to continue and Dragon started fighting a mummy. He punched at the mummy and hit him right in the face and sent him flying into an acid pit below, the next fighter was a man dressed as a devil. The man said "My special technique is cal-" Dragon punched him in the stomach and kicked him in the head sending him flying across the room and smashing into the wall, Dragon fired a Kamehameha and obliterated him as he waited for the last fighter.

Baba had her mouth wide open in shock, Devilman just got obliterated, and the rest of her fighter were taken down by Dragon alone, Goku grumbled "I wanted to fight too..." Bulma cheered for Dragon and Baba sent out the last fighter who requested to fight Goku. Dragon nodded and hopped off the stage, Goku smiled and hopped up and started fighting the man.

Dragon stood next to Bulma and held her hand as they watched Goku's fight, eventually the man ripped off Goku's tail and Goku got back up to fight again but the man surrendered and said "You still haven't go rid of your tail weakness." as he took off his mask, revealing himself to be an old man. Goku was shocked and said "Grandpa?!" Gohan smiled and Goku hugged him while crying as Gohan talked to Roshi.

A while later

Gohan left and Baba revealed the location of the last Dragon ball. Dragon left with him and they flew up into the air, promising to be right back. The rest waited there and the duo found Pilaf and his two friends. Dragon laughed and waved at Pilaf, who yelped and said "Hand over the Dragonballs!" Goku said "No you give them to me!" Pilaf crossed his arms and said "We'll fight for it!" as he and his friends got into giant robot suits.

Goku and Dragon beat them and took the dragon balls, Dragon waved at them and said "Bye" before leaving. They stopped in a desert and Goku said "I just need the 4 star one." Dragon nodded and said "Arise Shenron!" a giant dragon appeared as thunder clouds rolled in.

Shenron said "I am the Dragon, I will grant you one wish." Dragon looked at Goku and said "I thought I was Dragon?" Goku chuckled and shrugged, Dragon turned to Shenron and said "Can I wish for Eternal youth?" Shenron said "It's possible." Dragon said "I wish Bulma had Eternal Youth when she completely matures and stops growing." Shenron's eyes flashed and he said "You're wish has been granted. Farewell." he disappeared and the balls floated up, Goku jumped up and grabbed the 4 star ball before it shot off and landed on the ground with a smile.

Dragon grinned and they flew back to Baba's house.

The duo landed and everyone was looking a Bulma weirdly, Goku said "What happened?" Krillin said "Bulma just lit up for a few seconds!" Dragon smiled, seems like the wish worked. Goku forgot about it seconds later and said "I'm going to train on my own!" Dragon said "Me too!" Goku looked at him and smirked, Dragon did the same and sparks appeared in the middle of them.

Roshi said "For your training you are not allowed to use the Nimbus!" Dragon said "I'll keep it!" as he grabbed the nimbus quickly. Goku nodded and laughed as he set out in foot, Dragon watched him go and bid farewell to the rest as he picked up Bulma and flew towards her house saying "How do you feel?" Bulma said "A little more energetic, why?"

Dragon smiled and said "Well it's your birthday soon, and I got you an early birthday gift." Bulma looked around and said "Where?" Dragon chuckled and said "I wished for you to have Eternal youth when you completely mature and stop growing." he smiled to himself as they flew towards Capsule Corp, Bulma was absolutely dumbfounded as she said "You wished for me to be young forever for my birthday?!" Dragon nodded and said "I'm not sure of the specifics to be honest. I knwo you will look young forever, maybe you'll die one day like 100~ years? But you're not immortal, if you get killed you will still die."

Bulma hugged him and kissed him as she said "You're so good to me!" Dragon smiled and said "Of course!" as he stroked her hair gently. Bulma cuddled into is arms as the reached Capsule Corp, they got off and Bulma rushed into the lab and got to work on something as Dragon put his weighted suit back on and started his intensive training again. He was wearing a weighted suit and the turtle shell as he did push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats, while he was running, and swimming. He only took off the weights when he went to sleep with Bulma, their relationship progressed slowly but comfortably, every night he held her to sleep and they ate breakfast together every morning.

1 year later

Bulma stood in front of Dragon with a big box and said "Happy birthday!" Dragon scratched his head and said "What did you get me?" Bulma smiled sweetly and said "Open it!" Dragon opened the box and saw the same suit he had on when he crashed into the desert but it was extremely heavy now. Dragon gasped and said "Woah! This is the best!" Bulma smiled widely and hugged him saying "I'm happy you like it!" Dragon hugged her back and said "I like anything you give me." he still had the ruined capsule box on his dresser, she smiled and they spent the day together on a date for his birthday.

2 years later

Dragon was 19 years old and Bulma was 20. The duo was standing in front of the registration for the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament with Yamcha and Krillin. Bulma had long hair now as she knew Dragon liked it like that, she was absolutely beautiful and Dragon thought so too. Dragon was taller now standing at around 5'9, he was taller than Bulma by a few inches as of right now, his muscles popped out but didn't look gross, he looked like a very muscular man and he was extremely handsome.

Some of the nearby girls stared at him as he signed up, Bulma pouted and Dragon laughed, he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her. Yamcha and Krillin shook their heads and the girls around only seemed to like him more. Master Roshi, Launch, Pu'ar, and Oolong showed up and Roshi said "Ah there you are kid! Here you go!" He handed Dragon a box.

Dragon opened the box and saw a new Kame uniform. He smiled widely and took off his weighted clothes, he dropped them on the ground and they sank in with a loud boom spreading tremors through the crowd. Everyone gasped in shock and Bulma smirked, Dragon put on the orange Gi and said "Feels just right!" Roshi smiled and said "Of course kiddo! Specifically made it for you! I have another one for Goku too, where is he?" The group looked around and Dragon whistled the Nimbus down.

Goku arrived and the Nimbus flew towards him and picked him up as he was almost late for registration. Goku signed up and Dragon smiled "A close one. You can have Nimbus back now." he grinned and said "I hope you got stronger." Goku chuckled and said "A lot stronger!" Dragon grinned and said "Perfect!" Dragon put his weighted clothes into a box and turned the box into a capsule before handing it to Bulma as he said "I'm gonna win this time!" Bulma smiled and kissed him saying "Good luck! I'll be cheering for you!" Dragon rubbed his nose and said "I love you." before disappearing, she giggled and watched him go before making her way to the stands with Pu'ar, Oolong, and Launch.

The Announcer grabbed the microphone and said "Welcome ladies and gentlemen! The 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament begins!" the crowd cheered and the fighters started fighting in the preliminaries.

(Author's Note)

Hey guys! I changed Eternal Youth, it's basically the same but you don't live forever. You look young until you die, nothing major really. For the other Eternal Youth wishes, i'm going to change it to immortality in their prime. Just makes it easier to distinguish. ALSO if you want a reference for Bulma's look at the end look up: Bulma hairstyle in the Garlic Jr. Saga.
