"There you go songbird, you must never sing again." Prince Caro said
as he placed the silvery, red-stained orb in her hand and throwing the
dagger at her knees. She stared feeling the warm blood flow from her neck,
staining the front of her ceremonial battle garment. "Good-bye my love,
I'm sorry it had to end this way." He told her before taking his sword and
going back to the battle. As she sat there, life blood flowing, she opened
her mind to bespeak her mentor.
['So, t'would appear as though you were right Marc.'] she mind thought.
['I guess so, small one, but listen quick, you'll be moving on soon and there's a.. catch this time...']
['What kind of a catch?']
['Well you won't have a voicebox, so you shan't be able to hum, sing, or talk.']
['So Caro gets his wish after all.']
['Guess so, and uh... sorry, in advance.']
['Huh? Uh, oh... MARC!'] she screamed in her mindas she fell through the clouds, past mountains, trees, before finally landing in a small clearing... well, more specifically on top of two young boys who were fighting each other while others watched on.
[Thanx a lot Marc.'] she sent out before passing out, still entangled in a pile with the two surprised boys.

"Oh my, who is that? Are you two okay?" one of the observers asked.
"Man, that smarts." Trunks said as he wiggled out of the pile.
"Sheesh, how'd she fall from the sky like that?" Videl asked from her spot under a tree. "Who knows her husband Gohan said gawking at the small girl who still lay in the grassy clearing.
"Well we can't just leave her here on her own can we?" Krillan asked looking around at his friends.
"She looks young, like you Pan." Goten said looking at his little neice, she retaliated by sticking her tongue out at him, but she said nothing.
"Any volunteers to take care of her?" Gohan asked not looking as though he wanted the job. Silence ensued as each looked at each other uneasily.
"I will take her into my care. I'm sure Dende will enjoy having her company." Piccolo said after a short while, a small sneer-like smile spreading on his face.
"Are you sure Piccolo? It could be quite an, uh, quite a difficult undertaking." Krillan said jumping back a little.
"Yeah Piccolo, you sure you can handle her?" Gohan asked looking at his own young daughter, Pan, who was sticking her tongue out at Goten again.
"I'm sure." he said and took off with the small 7 yr. old girl in his arms.
"I hope he knows what he's getting himself into." Krillan said finally.
