Prologue:
A New Home

The young half saiyan girl sat at her window looking out to the planet before her. Her father made her stay here most of the time, she knew it would ruin his image to have her as a child, not a full blood. Past the red skies she knew this was the time of day Frieza would soon land, another reason she had to stay in her room. Her brother was probably back home already and she knew he would try to see her if their father allowed it. The young girl sighed and waited as she usually did, but something felt different than any other day.

Before her thoughts could develop her bedroom door slammed open almost breaking it off the hinges. She turned to see someone who never came to the young girl's room or even addressed her existence, her father. Something was most definitely wrong.

"Lets go." He said simply. The half saiyaness nodded not saying a word. She was already dressed and quickly began to follow her father out of her room. The man led the little blue eyes half saiyaness down the many secret halls within the palace. She wondered what he was hiding with his stony silence, other than her.

"Father?" She called silently, he didn't respond. "Father," She called once more, "Where's brother?" The man didn't answer causing her to only worry more so than she already did. "Where are we going?" Once again he stayed silent.

"The girl sighed as the rest of the brief journey was continued in solemn silence. She couldn't tell where they were when they got there but it was a dark room and in the center there were two space pods that were ready to launch. The girl gasped, this was it - her father was finally ridding himself of her. She backed away but she didn't get very far before he grabbed her hand.

"She began to struggle against his grasp but of course he was stronger. "No! Don't send me away!" She screamed frantically. "Please Papa!" Despite all of her struggle he still managed to get her in the space pod anyway and slammed it closed before she could escape. She beat her fist against the door trying to break through, even though she knew it wouldn't budge, and while this happened her blue eyes began to fill with tears.

She watched as her father began to speak. "It's for your own good." He said, sparing her one last gaze before the spacepod lifted off and the air in the small space began to get thicker. She knew it was the sleeping glass starting to take its effect but Celena didn't want to sleep - she didn't want to leave. The young girl screamed and put all her might against fighting the cold metal door watching as her planet got smaller and smaller. Celena knew it was no use, her father sent her away and that's how it would be.

The sleeping gas was doing its job and the next time Celena woke she was looking up at two pair of blue eyes, so similar to her own. She had never seen another creature with eyes like hers. They spoke a language foreign to her but Celena could figure out a few words from the languages she did know.

"We have to tell aunt Bonnie." The girl said, Celena stared at her - she had never seen such lightly colored hair before, it looked like sunshine. She was speaking to the black haired boy a color she was familiar with.

"Well go get her Lazuli." The girl glared at him before running off through a forest of green trees.

Celena took in her surroundings from where she still sat in the pod. Even though she still felt a bit groggy from the affects off the sleeping gas her body felt light, and the air much wetter than she was used to. Her tail twitched taking it all in, she lifted her body up, landing on the soft green ground. The boy jumped back, startled by her sudden movement. But she was not paying attention to him, her attention was turned to the sky - such a light blue color, she had never seen a sky like this. It was different from anything on her homeland. Suddenly her eyes began to fill with tears, she would never see the red skies of Vegeta-sei again - her father didn't want her there.

"Wait, space girl, don't cry please." The boy said coming to her side.

"Celena stepped back putting her hands out ready to attack the boy as a low growl of warning passed her lips. The boy raised his hands in defense of himself and took a step back from her.

"I don't want to hurt you, I'm Lapis." He held out his palm to her, but she just stared at him, unfamiliar with the gesture./

"Where is this?" She asked using intergalactic standard as her language of choice, it was the closest she could come to the one the boy was speaking.

"You're in Parsley City, the North Forest specifically." He responded dropping his hand.

"That's a strange name for a planet…" She commented dropping her stance but still stood defensively.

"Planet? No the planet is Earth, last I checked anyway." He sighed and crossed his arms over his chest. "Are you lost kid, do you know where you family is? I know people sometimes get lost in this forest."

Despite wanting to control her emotions Celena's bottom lip poked out and tears once more formed in her eyes. "I…I..." She sniffled and wiped her eyes. "I don't have one."

As she began to cry the boy took a chance to approach her cautiously. "Hey, hey - damn - don't cry kid." He carefully wrapped his arms around her, usually she would pull away from the affections of a stranger but then again she couldn't remember the last time she felt such a notion. She relaxed under his grip and sniffled quietly against his chest. "It's okay, my sister will be back and she'll bring our aunt. We'll help you, we'll be your family so don't cry."

Celena tried her best to stop her tears, but she couldn't help herself. But with each tear she felt a little lighter. While they waited the boy continued to talk to her telling her of his aunt and sister, and with every word, every tear she felt herself slipping away from Vegeta-sei and into the new possibility - that Earth could be her new home.


A.N.

Hey readers! Welcome to the first chapter of The Lost Princess! Just a heads up this will be an OC based story so if that isn't your cup of tea this will probably be the last chapter you'll be reading for it. Here I'll mostly be talking about little details that may be a little confusing as chapters go on, or what will be coming next in the upcoming chapter. I am heavily attentive to the little detail so you will be getting details about several places in the DBZ universe, such as Parsley city which is actually a city on the DBZ map, fairly close to West Capitol (Which is where Bulma Briefs lives)Also I have many little head cannons on Saiyan culture as well as other cultures in the DBZ so get ready to learn more about that side of things. Overall thank you for reading and please make sure to comment, every comments adds a year of life to an author.

Next time, follow Celena as she reunites with the other Z-fighter and a surprising Newcomer bothers the peace on Earth.

Happy reading! ~Lady L
