LOOK AT THIS FACE!
(Day 1)

"You are going to do what!?"

Gohan's reaction to what Alister had proposed seemed to be that of negativity, but Alister didn't mind, he grinned widely, and nodded his head to add further proof that what he said was true.

"Yeah...I'm entering the Heaven Pageant, but not to win it, but to beat those two smug boys who stole my jacket."

It was the truth, Alister Brand was without his jacket. The jacket had been an icon for him, much like a calling card, and he had grown fond of it, but now it lay in the hands of two young kids. Mind you, he knew they were just boys being boys, but he knew that the only way to get it back was to beat the ever living shit out of them...in the dance pageant. That's right, a dance pageant. Alister had not danced much in his life, namely because if you were on Vegeta, and were caught trying to dance...well you were labeled and the ridicule alone was enough to make even a grown man cry. Alister had never wanted to learn how to dance, but of course his mother had insisted. So, he took a few lessons...so what? Some boys do, some boys don't. Alister had found it embarassing then, but now looking at the move in hindsight...it wasn't that bad. Now that training would come to fruitition through him dancing till he couldn't dance any more to return his jacket to its' rightful place. Plus, a little zenni was being offered, and since he was nearly broke...it was perfect for a guy like him.

"Listen, you could just ask them kindly back for the jacket. You have training to complete and little time to do it in."

"I know that my training is important, but who knows? Maybe I could learn something from this competition."

"Well...I guess I can't stop you from doing what you want."

"Damn right you can't. Anyway, step aside...I have to go sign up."

Alister walked out of Gohan's house which happened to be on the outskirts of the city which wasn't as nearly as clustered as the interior of the city. For a second he stretched and then hovered up into the sky, speeding toward the pageant sign up location which was close to a few miles away. All the while Alister kept thinking about his training and what he had to do to catch up on it once the pageant was done and over with and his jacket was back in its' rightful spot. He would most likely have to officially start training in his transformed state, which he still hadn't learned how to fully activate yet. It would take time, but he was beginning to get quite a bit irritated at it, but what are you going to do? Gohan would probably go harder on him from this point on, trying to push him beyond his humble limitations which had been set before him before he arrived. He had so far succeeded in awakening some sort of hidden energy he had within. It wasn't all the energy head. He could feel small bits of energy still within him that had not been tapped into yet, but that was something that would take time. First, he had to worry about getting his jacket back, then he could be concerned with things for the future.

For a little while longer he flew until he came upon a modest little area that had been picked out for the events to take place at. He landed, making sure not to disturb any of the preparations, and tried to be quick about finding where he had to got sign up. He walked around for a bit, exploring the grounds, and after a while he began to grow irritated. He couldn't find the area he was supposed to sign up at and it bothered him quite a deal as he needed to hurry. Sign ups ended at 9:00 P.M. EST and to be honest, he didn't want to miss them because then he would never get his jacket back. Pausing and focusing he began to wander again until he came upon a booth with a line of people looking to sign up. He joined them in line, keeping quite, and mostly to himself. After about twenty minutes in line and with very little time to spare, Alister signed up, and walked away from the booth to join the other contestants who were in the middle of try-outs. Alister would have to succeed at winning in the tryouts to even become part of the pageant and it worried him that there were a lot of good dancers there as well. So, he waited, and waited some more until it was his turn up. For a second he stood there, frozen in fear, and anticipation. He took a deep gulp and was about to walk on to the stage when he saw both Goten and Trunks. The boys who had stolen his jacket were using it as a cushion for their rears as they sat out in the audience, clearly already having passed their audition. They looked down on Alister and let out a laugh, taunting him from all the way up in the third row.

Alister cursed under his breath, knowing all too well that if he flubbed up here they would be laughing him out of the building. Alister stretched a bit as the other members of the auditioning party, looked rather disgruntled as Alister took his time to get on stage. The man in charge kept asking for next and all the while Alister just wanted to fly up into the third row and lay the smack down on those two kids, but he refrained, and finally took a deep breath, collecting himself, and readying himself, he walked out onto the stage, and took a small bow.

"I'm Alister Brand...and I'm here to win it all!"

He said with a grin as he began to do his dance.

(Day 2)

It didn't take long for most of the people in the audience and the judges to begin to cheer for Alister, in fact it was almost prompt. As soon as Alister began to move and dance and show what he had to offer to everyone who was watching that the fans began to enjoy the show. They began to chant his last name as he performed several back flips and several different maneuvers that would put most professional break dancers to shame. More than anything though, Alister did a fantastic job of drawing the attention of the judges, who looked on with a grin on their face as slowly, but surely Alister's audition neared completion. As it reached the end of the dance, Alister...in the middle of what could be called a hand stand decided to do a one hand flip to a standing basis. He nailed it to perfection and garnered an even larger response from the crowd because he had. The fans in the crowd and the judges gave him a standing ovation as Alister began to walk off stage to talk to the judges. For a few minutes the judges discussed what had happened as Alister waited patiently for their verdict. After the talking had ceased the judges joined him, all grinning, and ready to give their verdict.

"Some smooth moves you have, Mr. Brand....I believe that me and the boys here are willing to give you shot at this years pageant."

"Awesome...."

Alister seeing Goten and Trunks leaving via back exit, quickly walked passed the three judges to go catch up with them. After about jogging for about a few seconds he caught off with the two boys who were looking rather upset at what had happened earlier.

"He showed us up, Goten...he has some serious moves."

"We can still win, Trunks! We have our secret weapon after all!"

"Yeah, but what if he hasn't shown us all his moves yet?"

"Yeah, what if I haven't even began to break out the whole bag of dance moves that I have in my head."

Both of the boys stiffened and turned to see Alister standing behind them, his face wearing a big grin, and his eyes glaring at them from under his yellow shades. Both of the boys turned to face Alister, they both began to laugh, and then pointed at him.

"Trust me...it doesn't matter what you have! Goten and I have been saving the best dance technique for last...and let me tell you it is guaranteed to get us a victory."

"Yeah and then we get to keep this jacket of yours!"

Goten held out Alister's red jacket and waved it before his face, trying his best to taunt him with it, but failing to even cause a bit of rage within Alister. Alister just continued to grin and then pointed at himself.

"Yeah, right...I believe you boys. Anyway...I will see you later. I have business to attend to before the real competition starts...I hope to see you in the finals....don't disappoint me."

Alister walked off, leaving both Goten and Trunks fuming at what had just transpired, and as Alister walked into what was now his tent...at least that is what the sign had said outside. He let out a sigh and sat down on one of the stools in his room. He stretched and then folded his arms behind his head as he began to think of what moves he could perform in the next round that would bring the fans and the judges to their knees in terms of pure excitement. He had a few moves he had picked up that he could perform, but didn't know if they would be enough to get the attention of the judges like his earlier displays had. He racked his brain for a good hour before he was called out of his tent by one of the stage hands. She, at least he thought it was a she, was a weird species of alien that he had never seen before, and he barely understood her as she spoke to him, but he got the general gist of things as she directed him toward the stage in the distance where the crowd was positively livid as a performances of the people who had made it past the audition phase were putting on a show. He quickly went on to go see what exactly was going on and found himself staring at Goten and Trunks as they did an imitation of MC-Hammer's old school dance. He laughed silently to himself until finally the dance was over, they both walked off stage to a large sum of applause, and as they both walked passed Alister they glared at him and laughed. Clearly they thought they had done well, but Alister was not going to be out-done by two kids.

"Yort upst Mr. Brandt."

The alien girl said to Alister who nodded his head and then stepped out on to the stage. He instantly received a large pop. The majority of people knew who he was from earlier and they were all clearly expecting a great show. Alister didn't want to disappoint his newly acquired fans and grinned as he nodded his head and gave them a bow before beginning to dance. This time he did an explosive break dance routine, utilizing all of his flexibility, and over the top personality to create an impressive routine. The fans were there with him as he performed every move and watched him break it all down and give them the performance of a life time. Finally the crowd grew quiet after his performance was over and then the judges gave him the thumbs up, letting the crowd know that Alister Brand would be going on to the final round to compete against four other groups or solo artists. The crowd went crazy at that announcement and chanted "Brand" for him to hear. He gave them a wave and then a bow before disappearing into the back stage area to see Gohan and Master Roshi waiting for him.

(Day 3)

"Hey...what do you guys want?"

Gohan shrugged his shoulders and then grinned.

"Master Roshi and I wanted to see how you were faring."

"Tell him the whole truth..."

"I don't have any clue what you mean by that, Master Roshi..."

"Videl kicked him out of the house again. Said something along the lines he was spending too much time training you and not enough time with his daughter."

Alister laughed and Gohan hung his head low before walking off in a puff. Alister looked at Roshi, who was eying several of the female contestants with a perverted grin on his face, and Alister could tell that Roshi was clearly thinking about going over to one of them and starting a conversation. However, Alister knew how that would end. He had heard stories from Gohan about how many times the old man had been shutdown and none of them had been very pretty for the old man, but he kept on going. He was a model of perseverance that was to say the least. Roshi began to wander toward one of the female contestants and Alister closed his eyes. Fearing what was about to happen. It had only been a few seconds before there was yelling to be heard, of a foreign language of course, and an audible slapping noise. Alister opened his eyes to find Roshi laying on the floor, one side of his face red from a slap, and a female contestant walking away in quite a bit of anger.

"Looks like I've still got it."

Roshi said, much to Alister's bewilderment, as he went off to find another girl to strike out with. Meanwhile, Alister decided to look for Gohan, and to see if he was alright. After all, it is never easy being in a wife's dog house, and Alister wanted to make sure he was alright. He found Gohan outside the competition area, talking to himself about what he would have to do to win Videl's favor again.

"I can always go home and take the family to an amusement park! Yeah, that is a great idea!"

"I usually just end up getting the girl chocolates or flowers...usually does the trick."

Gohan jumped a few feet off the ground, turning after landing to look at Alister who was leaning against the wall, and grinning from behind his glasses. Gohan nodded his head.

"Things are a bit more complicated for me and Videl than that, Alister. However, thanks for the help. I will keep it in mind for some other time I screw up."

"You make it sound like you screw up...a lot."

"I kind of do...I'm a very busy man and I become even busier when young prospects show up in Heaven looking to be trained. Of course when I get really busy is when all the problems start....I start to forget important things and important dates and Videl is not the easiest girl to get along with. She is fiery, but I love her for her personality."

"So...tell her how you feel and that what you do is import..."

All of a sudden, the same girl who had pulled him from his tent earlier, tugged on his shirt sleeve, and Alister turned to face her. She pointed to the stage, knowing better than to strike up a conversation with a man that barely understood her. Alister nodded his head. Knowing all too well that the Final round was just about to begin. He turned to Gohan, who nodded his head, and gave him the international sign to get going to which Alister returned the nod, and began to jog back inside. After reaching the stage he found himself in awe at the ridiculous dance the two young boys were performing. Apparently this dance had beat the other two members of the Final Four and Alister was confused as to how it could of. The form was neither elegant nor beautiful, but there was something mysterious to it. Finally, the boy's fingers touched, and that is when it happened. A blinding light and an explosion occured that rocked the ground. As the light began to fade, Alister noted a figure, one figure, not two, were standing on the stage, and as soon as the light had completely gone, one powerful being stood there with a grin on his face.

"Tada! Gotenks!"

The fans went crazy and Alister could not believe his eyes. How in the world had the two boys...fused...to create such a powerful being, and as the new man stepped off the stage. He grinned at Alister as if to say "can you follow that up?" Alister gave him the thumbs up, not knowing how he was going to beat something like that.

"Try doing some Mixed Martial Arts Dancing."

Alister turned his head to see Gohan standing there observing the crowd and gauging their reaction to the fusion dance technique.

"Sure...it isn't as flashy as the fusion dance, but it can work just as well...all you have to do is do it right and the fans will eat out of your hands. Now go...teach my little bro and Trunks a lesson they soon won't forget!"

Alister nodded his head, knowing exactly what he had to do, as he stepped out on to the stage confidently, and positively beaming at the fans. The fans waited silently as Alister began to take martial art's stances. For a while, the crowd did nothing, but follow Alister's movements, most of which were slow, and methodical, but definitely entertaining. It was like watching poetry in the form of combat unfurl and Alister, the crowd, and Gohan were simply captivated by how the movements were. Finally after about thirty seconds, Alister sped it up. Combining flips, kicks, and cartwheels with hand exercises normally used to learn how to block and to counter attack. The fans ate it up and began to chant as the judges began to write things down on paper. Clearly knowing that this would be a difficult vote to make. After finishing his dance, Alister bowed, and received his largest pop yet. Gotenks joined him on stage as the fans and the competitors both awaited the final verdict. Finally, after about five minutes of arguement, the judges pointed at Alister, and declared him the winner. Gotenks grew speechless and reverted to Goten and Trunks, both of them standing their in disbelief. As they did stand there, Alister reached over, and plucked his jacket from Goten's hands, and laughed. He held his jacket up high as he had not only retrieved his jacket, but had obtained a high honor.
