Some characters in a work are just not friends. Sometimes it is because they are enemies, just not close, or have never met. They might run in different social circles or have different tastes. They might just not get along, or they might just outright hate each other.
However, when adapting said work, some writers decide to make them friends for multiple reasons. So, characters who have never met before in their source material are constantly hanging out. Enemies who hated each other are now best friends. People who run through different circles are now inseparable. These friendships don't have to last forever, but the point is that the context of their dynamic is changed from non-friends to friends.
This can be done to catch those who knew the original work off-guard with the change. It might be to add depth to their dynamic that wasn't there before. Sometimes it can just be because the writer thinks it would be an interesting dynamic. This can also be for plot necessity, i.e., for when the story needs the 2 characters to be close in some scenes when in the original there was little to no justification on why they're together. Adaptational Nice Guy can be another reason why this happens. If a character is much more pleasant in an adaptation, it can seem strange why the characters aren't friends.
This is not just about characters who are made part of the same group but aren't necessarily close friends in an adaptation. This is about an adaptation adding a close friendship between characters that was not there before. Also note that characters must come from the same work to count.
A Sub-Trope of Adaptation Relationship Overhaul. Compare Promoted to Love Interest, where two characters are made love interests in an adaptation but don't necessarily have to be friends in either version, or Team Member in the Adaptation, which has a character made part of a team in an adaptation that wasn't before. Compare and contrast Adaptational Romance Downgrade, which often takes the form of a romantic couple being portrayed as just friends. Also compare/contrast Related in the Adaptation and Related Differently in the Adaptation. This may also overlap with We Used to Be Friends and/or Adaptational Angst Upgrade if the characters are made friends in order to set up a betrayal between them.
Might be part of a Pragmatic Adaptation or either an Adaptational Explanation or an Adaptation Explanation Extrication if the characters need a reason to do something (potentially because the original reason has been replaced in adaptation).

Spider-Ninja:
In canon, it isn't established how close the Agents Parker and Logan were. In this fic, Logan was one of the Parkers' friends, enough so that they invited him over for Christmas once or twice and introduced him to baby Petra. He tells Petra as much when he meets her, and tells her stories about her parents when she asks.
In canon, Doctor Octopus, Doctor Curt Connors, and Doctor Baxter Stockman never meet (the latter because Stockman's from a different franchise than the former two). Here, the three were college friends (although the friendship fell apart after Ock had his lab accident and Stockman was fired).
When the Hamato family visits X-Manor, they each strike up a friendship with a member of the X-Men: Leo and Cyborg, Raph and Gambit, Donnie and Doctors Gray and Mc Coy, Mikey with Iceman, Petra with Logan (see above), and Splinter with Professor X. It's noted that the Professor hoped that the Turtles and Petra would make friends with his students, as he knows how important it is for young mutants to meet others like them (he knows that the Hamatos weren't mutated by the X-factor gene, but in his eyes it's close enough).
Chapter 33 reveals that Phil Coulson is a long-time friend of George Stacy, while in canon the two never meet.

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Dr. Vivienne Graham has more explicitly close friendships with several of her Godzilla: King of the Monsters colleagues in Monarch's top brass than anything shown in MonsterVerse canon. She's shown to be friends with Drs. Chen, Stanton, and Coleman, and Colonel Diane Foster, whereas in the movie she never has any interactions to indicate they're especially close.

In You (Kepnes), Beck and Blythe are acquaintances doing the same MFA, but Beck despises Blythe (at least partly out of jealousy). Because both Beck and Blythe receive Adaptational Nice Guy treatment in the series, they are good friends and Blythe is shown actively supporting Beck (especially with her writing) after Peach's death.

In the original A Dog of Flanders story by Marie Louise de la Ramée, Alois was a beautiful woman Nello fell in love with when out one day. In A Dog of Flanders (1975), Nello and Alois are already best friends, and all of Baas' Dating What Daddy Hates traits are portrayed as a hatred towards their platonic relationship. That's not to say the romance doesn't exist (it absolutely does), but the anime focuses on their friendship aspect more than anything.

In Hidden Bodies, Forty and Henderson don't know each other. In the series, they are friends (albeit not close friends) and Henderson gets a small Pet the Dog moment when he calms down the high and embarrassing Forty at his party. This sets up the series' addition that Joe and Love frame Forty for killing Henderson by claiming that he found out Henderson was a serial predator and dispensed some vigilante justice due to Forty's own Rape as Backstory.

Feud: Capote vs. the Swans portrays Truman Capote and James Baldwin spending a day together and even sharing a kiss, implying that they are good friends. In real life, Capote hated Baldwin's writing and the two were never more than casual acquaintances. One of the writers for the show admitted that he exaggerated the relationship because he'd been reading about Baldwin's life and thought he'd work better for the kind of episode they were writing than Capote's actual rivals, like Tennessee Williams or Gore Vidal.

Raise: Jaune, after being exploited, held down and relentlessly hounded by every kingdom on Remnant looking to exploit his celebrity status, ends up disturbingly making friends in Cinder and Mercury of all people (both of whom, the former especially, were his hated enemies in canon), partly because they're among the few people whom are both honest about wanting to use him for their own ends and are willing to meet him halfway instead of slave-driving him and breeding resentment on his end, and also because they both to some degrees share his world cynicism. Jaune also forms a very close friendship with Elm, who's assigned to be his bodyguard in this AU, whereas the two barely interacted directly in canon.

The Sandman: Lyta Hall and Rose Walker are close friends in the TV show. In the original comics, they meet each other in a later story but aren't really friends. This is one of the many changes done because the TV show removed the superhero elements and Sandman's connection to the larger DC Universe. In the comics, Lyta and her husband were superheroes and got involved with the Sandman's realm of dreams due to their superpowered adventures. In the TV show, Lyta is a normal woman, but the show still tried to keep her role in the story broadly similar: she is now Rose Walker's friend and happens to be close by when Rose's nature as a vortex throws the people close to her into uncontrolled dreamscapes.

Professor Bartholomew Oobleck and Roman Torchwick, two characters who never shared a single scene in RWBY canon, have an Adaptation Origin Connection: they're portrayed in the universal mythology of Coeur's works as former huntsman-in-training teammates, but they tragically fell out completely after Oobleck sacrificed the rest of their team on the Vale Secret Service's orders during the fall of Mountain Glenn, and his betrayal led to Roman losing faith in humanity.

In The Princess and the Frog, Tiana and Dr. Facilier's relationship was purely antagonistic, due to him turning her and Naveen into frogs, trying to sell all the souls of New Orleans to his Friends on the Other Side, and murdering her friend Ray the firefly. Here, while she initially hated him because her hard-working ethics clashed with his carefree nature, they eventually grew to be friends and work well together. In addition to this version of Facilier's friendship with Tiana, he also is on far better terms with Mama Odie, who is his mentor in voodoo wizardry.

Unity: Due to belonging to different studios, Mr. Incredible and General W. R. Monger never met in any canon film. In this fic, Monger was the military official overseeing the government experiment that gave Mr. Incredible his powers (which is told in a familiar-sounding backstory). When the procedure failed with further test subjects, Monger learned that Bob would possibly be subjected to painful experimentation so they could learn how to repeat the process. As such, he helped him escape and ended up given a backwater assignment (watching the Monsters at Area 51) as punishment... though he ended up becoming one of the military's most celebrated officers when he led those same monsters in defeating Gallaxhar. Though Bob and Monger didn't see each other for a few decades as a result, they remained on good terms and Bob was overjoyed to see him when he and his family were assigned to the government-sanctioned super team.

Poirot: The series occasionally did this to facilitate Poirot getting involved in the adaptations earlier than in the original stories. For example, Poirot is now good friends with Sir Charles in the adaptation of Three Act Tragedy, which makes The Reveal that Sir Charles is the murderer more personal for Poirot.

In Final Fantasy VII, while Barrett and Red XIII were friends, they weren't any closer to each other than to any other member of the party. In Final Fantasy VII: Machinabridged, they quickly become A Boy And His X-type best buddies and the show's Those Two Guys. Their character-focused episodes will usually strongly involve each other as a double act, while in the original, Red is not mandatory for Barret's story, and vice versa.

10 Things I Hate About You: Joey Donner being an Adaptational Nice Guy, despite also being a Dumb Blonde, means that starting out as Chastity Church's boyfriend, he becomes friends with Bianca Stratford and then they develop a legit romantic relationship of their own as well. This being opposed sharply to the film version of Joey who only wanted to sleep with Bianca as part of a bet with a friend, who also was tricked by Cameron James into paying Patrick Verona into asking out Bianca's sister Kat so Cameron could go out with Bianca. In the show, Joey gets along pretty well with Cameron and had a first meeting with Patrick as well.

It took time for them to actually become friends. In Rebellion, the two of them get along much better, and Kyoko is a lot less aggressive towards Sayaka than she was in the original anime.

Wonder Woman (Rebirth) depicts Barbara Minerva as having been friends with Diana before turning into the Cheetah (in her original introduction, she was a fairly transparent Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who didn't develop any friendly moments with Diana until after they'd been enemies for several years.)

Jessica Jones: Her close friendship with Hellcat (Patsy Walker) is exclusive to the series. In the comics, the characters have never met, and Jessica was friends with Carol Danvers instead. This was probably done because Carol Danvers was tied up with the movie portion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It arguably expanded the dramatic possibilities of the Jessica Jones character, as Patsy is almost like a stepsister to her, while comic book Jessica was not as close even with her best friend Carol.

Null:
Whereas the canon version of Adam Taurus was an enemy to Jaune's friends and he never even shared a single scene with Jaune; in this fic, Adam is responsible for rescuing Jaune from Chivalric Arms' human experimentation and helping him to rescue his remaining sisters. Due to this, Jaune considers Adam a friend and a brother-in-arms to whom he'll always feel gratitude, and the feeling is quite mutual on Adam's end.
Likewise, Neopolitan, who was also never a friend to Jaune canonically, is in this fic a fellow victim of Chivalric Arms' experiments who bonded with Jaune's mother, and in turn, she becomes a combat ally to Jaune and remains partnered with him at the fic's end. Due to all the above, Jaune personally comes to consider Neo an eighth sister.

Mortal Engines:
In the books, there's no indication that Pandora Rae a.k.a Pandora Shaw — Hester Shaw's mother and Anna Fang knew each other or had even met. In the movie, they were close friends and allies to the point that Anna spent years trying to find Hester after Pandora's death.
In the book, Tom and Bevis don't know each other and have no interactions with one another. In the film, they appear to be casual acquaintances on a first-name basis.

In The Owl House, Emperor Belos and Luz Noceda hated and tried to kill one another repeatedly, because he's a Witch Hunter who wants to kill every witch and demon in the Boiling Isles, along with any humans who sympathize with them. Here, he really is the benevolent ruler he merely pretended to be in canon, bonded with Luz over their shared humanity, and even taught her how to use technology-powered glyph magic to defend the realms.

In the X-Men Film Series, Wolverine and Rogue are very close. They join the X-Men together, and she is more or less his protegé. In the comics, they're not particularly close, even though they have had a few memorable moments together. This is largely because comic book Rogue had a prior career as a villain and she is responsible for causing Carol Danvers (a close friend of Wolverine) to become powerless and amnesiac. Movie Rogue is a completely innocent girl who never had a prior career as a villain and is actually a composite of comic book Rogue and other inexperienced characters like Kitty Pryde and Jubilee, who actually were protegés of Wolverine in the comics.

In Your Wildest Dreams: Whereas Jaune and Amber the Fall Maiden in canon didn't know each other at all on account of Amber's coma, Jaune's dream-walking Semblance in this fic leads him to repeatedly enter Amber's coma dreams and make them easier for her. Amber in the dreams becomes extremely close to Jaune as a result, and Jaune in turn is devastated when Amber finally passes. Getting justice for Amber's death is Jaune's main motivation for helping Ozpin's group find Amber's attackers.

The Flash (2014): Barry barely has any interactions with Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow in the comics, but the three are best friends in this series. Barry also has never interacted with Chester Runk in the comics — where Chester was a close friend of Wally West — but in the TV show, he basically takes Cisco's place when Cisco leaves Star Labs, including becoming Barry's close friend. On the inverse, Chester barely knows Wally there, since Wally was no longer a regular in the show by that point.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they are best friends and Ned acts as Peter's Mission Control.

The Real Ghostbusters:
In the movie, Winston was Only in It for the Money and saw the other three Ghostbusters as simply colleagues. Here, he's just as much their best friend as they are to each other.
In the movie, Janine didn't see her employers as friends in any way, except Egon, on whom she had a crush. In the cartoon, while she's still a bit unamused to their antics, she still sees them as her friends, and in fact, in "Janine, You've Changed", they're said to love her.
Overlapping with Adaptational Heroism, in the movie, Slimer was just a nuisance and was trapped by the Ghostbusters. Here, he's their pet, and while he does annoy them sometimes (especially Peter), they also see him as a beloved pet (especially Ray). This includes Janine, who, in the movie, never even met him. Justified by the episode "Citizen Ghost", a Whole Episode Flashback that explains, by means of an interview Peter is giving to a reporter, how the team decided to let Slimer stay with them after he helped them defeat some spectral copies of themselves.

Scar, in addition to being more loyal to his family than in canon (thanks to a humbling experience at the tusks of Mabaya), is listed as close friends with Zazu (whom he canonically hated and tried to kill/eat repeatedly), Timon and Pumbaa (who he never interacted with and were enemies of his) and the Hyena Trio (who he canonically only ever saw as useful tools, and had no problem betraying them to save his own life). His friendship with the Hyena Trio is especially prominent, seeing as even before he underwent a Heel–Face Turn in this 'verse, they were his friends and partners in scheming to humiliate and bring down Mufasa.

The Spectacular Spider-Man: In most adaptations, Eddie Brock was an enemy of both Peter Parker (as they were rivals at the Daily Bugle) and Spider-Man (as Spidey would sometimes prevent him from getting a scoop that could potentially ruin someone's life). Here, however, Peter, Eddie, and Gwen are childhood friends who all love science, with Eddie acting as an older brother figure for Peter (to the point that they refer to each other as "bro"). Unfortunately, Eddie Brock still becomes Venom, with him steadily beginning to hate Peter over the course of the series, until he bonds with the symbiote in the season one finale.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power:
The show presents a unique friendship bordering on Ship Tease between Sauron, disguised as Halbrand, and Galadriel. This portrayal marks a significant departure from established lore. In J.R.R. Tolkien's original works, Sauron and Galadriel never formed any sort of friendly or trusting relationship in the 2000 years he spent in Eregion as Annatar, the Lords of Gifts.
While the books establish Elrond fostering positive relations with Dwarves, there's no mention of him befriending Durin IV specifically.

In My-HiME Natsuki and Nao are hostile to one another and frequently spoiling for a fight, until the end of the series, when a remark by Nao about never trusting anyone causes Natsuki to make a "Not So Different" Remark and causes her to save Nao from her Violently Protective Girlfriend, Shizuru. Come the Spiritual Successor My-Otome, the Natsuki and Nao are Vitriolic Best Buds, so as Natsuki is telling Nao she's been a "real pain in [her] ass", she also awards her a position in the powerful Columns of Garderobe Academy.
Similarly, there's Shizuru and Haruka. In Hime, Shizuru is outwardly polite to Haruka but dumps work on her, while Haruka can't stand Shizuru, and, after learning that Shizuru did something to Natsuki in her sleep, claims that people like Shizuru and Natsuki disgust her(although earlier in that scene, Yukino claims that Haruka wanted Shizuru to acknowledge her as an equal). In Otome, the two have a more Friendly Rivalry, and in the audio dramas, Haruka helps Shizuru work through Natsuki's initial refusal to serve as Shizuru's room attendant during their days as students at Garderobe.

Bugs Bunny Builders does this with many of the characters from Looney Tunes, who often have fractious relationships in the original series and many of its spin-offs. Because Builders is an Edutainment Show with themes such as cooperation and getting along, they never argue or become angry with each other or anyone else:
Similar to their infant counterparts in Baby Looney Tunes, Sylvester and Tweety get along fine, with the latter helping the former overcome his fear of heights in "Stories", and the former willingly spitting out the latter when he accidentally sucks him into his mouth while yawning in "Cheddar Days".
In most Looney Tunes media, Wile E. Coyote is portrayed as an Insufferable Genius villain, especially in the shorts where he's paired with Bugs Bunny. Here, he uses his inventions to help the Looney Builders with their construction projects. And while he still has an ego, he keeps it under control.
Instead of trying to take over the Earth or destroy it and thus causing him to oppose the other Tuns, Marvin the Martian is a space traveler who crash lands on it due to an accident. He is initially wary about the Earth but gets over it after the Looney Builders help him fix his spaceship genuinely befriending them.
While Taz the Tasmanian devil is still ravenous and has destructive tendencies, he is much less of a Volatile Tasmanian Devil and never tries to eat anyone thus being a close friend rather than a barely-tolerated nuisance. When he throws a fit in "Taz Recycle", it is quite tame.
Cecil Turtle, who is usually depicted as Bugs' rival, is a friendly client of the Looney Builders.
In other works, such as The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, Hector's relationship with Sylvester is defined by the former beating up the latter for attempting to eat Tweety, annoying him, or just because. In "Game Time", Sylvester is one of the customers of Hector's fast-food stand, which later gets upgraded to a restaurant by the Looney Builders.

Young Justice: In the original comic, in an attempt to strike out against the older heroes, Superboy helps found the titular group alongside Impulse and Robin (Tim Drake), with the trio all being close friends. In the cartoon, Superboy ends up befriending a completely different speedster and Batman sidekick — Kid Flash and Robin (Dick Grayson), both of whom were part of the adults the team was seeking independence from in the comic. Impulse and Tim Drake are also eventually introduced in the second season, but neither has much of a relationship with Superboy.

Son of the Sannin:
Shizune forms a close friendship with Itachi early in the story thanks to him being one of the first people to not be afraid of her little brother having the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed in him, and it continues well into their adult years. The two of them never even met in canon and almost certainly wouldn't have been friends if they had due to Itachi spending the entire series either undercover or dead.
Inverted with Itachi and Kisame, as the fact that Itachi never goes undercover in Akatsuki means that the two don't form a Villainous Friendship.
Fu becomes friends with Kiba and Tamaki, thanks in part to them being the teammates of her crush and later boyfriend Shino. She also bonds with Naruto post Time Skip due to their shared status as Jinchuriki.

Ultimate Spider Man: Eddie Brock Jr., the first host of the Venom symbiote, is depicted as Peter Parker's childhood friend, in sharp contrast to the original Spider-Man comics where they don't meet before they're both adults. In addition, their fathers are also shown to be former collagues and friends while they didn't have anything to do with each other in the main continuity.

Hakumei:
In the Naruto canon, Sasuke was close friends with both Naruto and Sakura (with the latter even becoming his wife by the end of the series), but the other ninjas from their generation were acquaintances to him at best. In Hakumei, Hinata, Neji, Sai, and Gaara are all among Sasuke's True Companions as part of the titular group.
Haku and Kimimaro were anti-villains who never managed to become friends with any of the good guys before they died (besides Haku having a friendly conversation with Naruto when the latter was unaware that the former was also the masked boy working for Zabuza and thus his enemy). In this fanfic, they're part of Hakumei and thus are friends with seven of those good guys.

Fixing RWBY:
Fixing Volume 2 alters the train tunnel episode so that several of the White Fang mooks whom Team RWBY have to fight through personally remember Blake from when she'd been one of them, and they express their feelings about her defection.
In stark contrast to Yang and Neo's canon portrayal where they remained enemies after the Fall of Beacon; starting in Fixing Volume 4, a post-Fall Yang and Neo end up bonding over a shared sense of loss, being cast adrift and having to find their own ways again without their previous emotional supports. In the next volume, Neo loyally accompanies Yang to Mistral.

What If…? (2021):
"What If... T'Challa Became a Star Lord?": Several characters whose morally dubious or outright evil counterparts in the Sacred Timeline opposed T'Challa as enemies or never met him at all, are members of his reformed Ravager crew and close friends with him and each other here. These include Yondu (his adoptive father figure), Thanos, Nebula, Korath, and Taserface.
"What If... Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?": Whereas Tony Stark and Erik Killmonger never met in the Sacred Timeline, in this timeline, Tony becomes good friends with Erik after the latter saves him from the Ten Rings. Unfortunately, Killmonger is just using Tony to get what he wants, and Tony is pissed when he finds out after Erik kills Rhodes. Despite his ruthlessness and treachery, Killmonger is still genuinely sorry about having to kill Tony when the latter becomes a threat.

Dumbing of Age: Becky and Joyce are childhood friends, instead of meeting well into adulthood as they do in the original Walkyverse. They both later form friendships with Dorothy, who in the original was Joyce's love rival, and nothing to Becky at all. Dorothy also grew up with Danny and Joe, even dating Danny, which wasn't the case in the Walkyverse. And Amber, Mike and Ethan were all childhood friends, rather than only meeting when they started working at the same toystore.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: In the original '80s, the Princesses and Horde were simply enemies. The line between friend and foe is much more ambiguous in the reboot. Catra starts out as Adora’s closest friend, becomes a bitter enemy, then after her Heel–Face Turn in season 5, become lovers by the end; Entrapta begins as an ally of the princesses before going over to the Horde, though she never shows any real animosity towards the princesses and is more in it For Science!, eventually returning to the Alliance when she’s rescued from Beast Island; Scorpia starts as an enemy but a surprisingly cordial one before being driven away from the Horde and joining the Princesses when Horde Prime invades.

Wild Cards had a comic book adaptation published by Epic Comics in 1990. In the comics, the protagonist is Private Investigator Jay Ackroyd, and for Pragmatic Adaptation purposes he is portrayed as being friends or at least buddies with lots of the heavyweights of the Wild Cards universe. In the chronology of the novels, Ackroyd was, by that time, still a street-level hero and a loner, mostly having met most of the other characters only in passing, or not at all. However, the novels eventually caught up with the comic book adaptation, when Ackroyd grew in prominence as a protagonist.

You (2018):
In You (Kepnes), Beck and Blythe are acquaintances doing the same MFA, but Beck despises Blythe (at least partly out of jealousy). Because both Beck and Blythe receive Adaptational Nice Guy treatment in the series, they are good friends and Blythe is shown actively supporting Beck (especially with her writing) after Peach's death.
Delilah and Joe have a casual hookup in both the book and Season 2. However, in Hidden Bodies, Delilah is treated with contempt and even nicknamed "Don't Fuck Delilah." In the series, Delilah and Joe develop a genuinely warm friendship (in the book, it was just sex), and Delilah confides in Joe about being raped by Henderson.
In Hidden Bodies, Forty and Henderson don't know each other. In the series, they are friends (albeit not close friends) and Henderson gets a small Pet the Dog moment when he calms down the high and embarrassing Forty at his party. This sets up the series' addition that Joe and Love frame Forty for killing Henderson by claiming that he found out Henderson was a serial predator and dispensed some vigilante justice due to Forty's own Rape as Backstory.

Doom Patrol draws heavily from Grant Morrison and Rachel Pollack's runs on Doom Patrol, but uses the original core Doom Patrol lineup, with Cyborg and Crazy Jane added for Adaptational Diversity. Consequently, Rita, who in the comics was dead for several decades and didn't meet anyone from the Morrison era until John Byrne's run that infamously ignored prior continuity to start over from scratch brought her back and Infinite Crisis caused a Cosmic Retcon where the events of the previous Doom Patrol comics were restored to continuity (albeit with the implication that John Byrne's run was still canon in some form), has ties to Jane, who was introduced after her death, plus has a backstory as a former member of the Brotherhood of Dada, which again was introduced long after her death. The show also gives her a We Used to Be Friends background with Madame Rouge, who in the comics was her bitter enemy. The show also has Dorothy Spinner having close friendships with Jane and Casey Brinke, the former of whom barely interacted with her in the comics and the latter of whom wasn't introduced until Gerard Way's run, which started publication years after Dorothy was rendered comatose and subsequently killed off in John Arcudi's run as part of the comic's tradition of cleaning house for every new roster of the team.

Arrowverse:
In the comics, Barry and Oliver weren't very close and, at times, the two actually had quite an antagonistic relationship due to their contrasting political ideologies. In this franchise, however, the two are incredibly close friends and Oliver even inspires Barry's code-name, The Flash.
The Flash (2014): Barry barely has any interactions with Cisco Ramon and Caitlin Snow in the comics, but the three are best friends in this series. Barry also has never interacted with Chester Runk in the comics — where Chester was a close friend of Wally West — but in the TV show, he basically takes Cisco's place when Cisco leaves Star Labs, including becoming Barry's close friend. On the inverse, Chester barely knows Wally there, since Wally was no longer a regular in the show by that point.

What If Videl Was A Z-Fighter?: During the later half of the Buu saga, Videl and 18 would grow closer compared with canon, with 18 acting as a Cool Big Sis to the younger girl. They would even work together as a fusion fighting Super Buu and get stronger together by the events of the Tournament of Power.
What If Goku Landed at Capsule Corp?: Boxer Brief, the story's Goku and Mark Hercule met as children in their hometown at a karate lessons. The two would continue to train together under Gohan and Master Roshi, under the latter they form a Power Trio with Krillin.
What if Broly Turned Good: The original Broly, after losing his memories when he hits his head, starts an Intergenerational Friendship with Goten and Trunks.
What if Chi-Chi was a Z-Fighter?: While they aren't close in canon, Chi-Chi and Krillin would become close friends while training together under Master Roshi as children and working together to fight King Piccolo and his children after Goku's death.
What if Shenron was a Z-Fighter: After gaining a human form, Shenron would form close bonds with the various Dragon Ball heroes, including the Son family while staying with them after the 23rd World Martial Art Tournament.
