Dragon Ball GT Fanfic

Melody couldn't run any further. She fell to the ground, gasping for breath. She knew she was still being followed – but she had run all that she could. She tried to control her breathing; her body was on the verge of giving out and her mind wanted to shut down.

She couldn't hold out any longer – she blacked out.

There was noise all around. Melody's eyes shot opened and she sat bolt upright. She looked around a white room. Panic filled her being as she ripped off wires that were connected to her. Noise came from somewhere behind her as she got out of the bed. Women in strange outfits came in and began speaking to Melody.

"NO!" She screamed as she tried to break out of the women's grips. She thrashed around and broke free. Melody ran out of the room and down the hall way, then up the stairs to the roof.

Someone standing there turned around. He was short and had messy black hair and a blue and orange outfit. "Hay there!" he called out cheerfully.

Melody began to panic again. She violently shook her head as she took a few steps back. Then the world was spinning around her as she fell down the steps. Melody awoke in the same white room with the wires tapped to her again. She ripped them off and got out of the bed to see the same stranger blocking her only path out of the room.

"I was only trying to be friendly to you earlier; I didn't want to scare you or anything. I'm sorry." He stood up.

"You're just trying to get to me so you can take me back!" Melody shouted at him.

"Take you back to where? I only just meet you earlier today." The guy said.

"Right…." Melody looked about the room once more for any trace of those who were chasing her.

"Are you in some sort of trouble or something?" he asked

"I didn't do anything wrong!" Melody shouted.

"I didn't say that you did. Why are people after you?" he asked, concerned.

"Why does a little kid care anyways?" Melody asked.

"Oh right, still can't get used to that….." the boy said more to himself.

Melody raised an eyebrow. What did he mean by 'get used to?' "So what is this place anyways?"

"Haven't you ever been in a hospital?" the boy asked.

Melody shook her head no.

"Well this is a place where you go when you don't feel good or you are hurt. It's called a hospital. Do you know what city you are in right now?" the boy asked.

"No," Melody answered.

"Well you are in West City right now." He looked at the confused look on Melody's face. "You were found in the woods outside the city and someone brought you here."

"That's right! I collapsed from running too much." Melody said. "Maybe I did finally lose them."

"Loose who? I can help you if you are in trouble." The boy said.

"Umm, no offence, but you look as helpful as a little puppy." Melody said.

"Right, the kid thing……" the boy said.

"But I guess a place to hide out would be nice for a little while. I mean it couldn't hurt." Melody said.

"Great! Then just come with me!" The boy grabbed Melody by the hand and led her out of the hospital and down the streets of West City.

"Oh, my name is Goku," the boy said enthusiastically.

"My name is…." She paused for a second. "Tora"

"Nice to meet you Tora," Goku said.

"Same. This city is huge!" Melody exclaimed.

They walked on for some time before getting to a large building in the middle of the city.

"Here we are, Capsule Corp.!" Goku said.

"What is this place?" Melody asked.

"You must have been away from any civilization," Goku joked.

Melody did a fake laugh, "Yea, well I'm not into the whole worldly thing."

"Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone!" Goku grabbed Melody's hand and dragged her up into the building.

Melody was introduced (as Tora) to Bulma and her daughter; who were the only one's home at the time. Then Goku got Bulma to make some food as they sat around the kitchen.

"So Goku, you're telling me that this girl needs a place to stay so she can stay out of trouble," Bulma repeated.

"I am not in trouble, I just can't get caught," Melody explained.

"If you are being chased, then you are in trouble or are wanted," Bulla said with some attitude.

"Bulla!" Bulma said angrily, "That is no way to treat a guest!"

"Whatever, she just better not be crashing in my room. Her fashion sense is lacking and she's a total mess," Bulla walked out of the room.

"Sorry about my daughter, she's one of those teens. So Goku, what were you doing at the hospital anyways?"

"Goten had a routine check-up but split right after it was done to go out with a girl," Goku explained.

Then someone walked into the kitchen. This man also had black hair and black eyes. "Bulma," he looked at Melody then to Goku, "Kakarot, what are you doing here? And what is with the girl?"

"Hay Vegeta! She's gonna stay with you guys until she feels safe enough to move on," Goku explained.

"Whatever," and Vegeta walked out of the room.

"Well," Goku got off of his chair, "I better get home, ChiChi is probably wondering where I am," He put two fingers to his forehead and then disappeared.

Melody was surprised and confused, where did he go? Was it magic? Bulma interrupted her thought process, "Feel free to explore the building, just be careful and make yourself at home."

"Right," Melody responded, she got off her own chair and left the room. Yet the instruction was vague, she didn't know how many things actually worked and she didn't want to bother anyone else or be a burden. She decided to do a little exploring.

She went up the nearest staircase and went up to the roof where she laid down in the sunlight. Maybe she could actually hide out here for a little while. It would be hard for that scientist to find her in a big city with so many people in it. Before she knew it Melody had fallen asleep.
