Out in the meadows near a small house a lone figure moved about, practicing what seemed to be some type of martial arts. The wind blew wildy, whipping at the tall, thick, blades of grass, making them wave back and forth. This didn't seem the bother the young man though, who seemed to be solely focusing on his training. So focused in fact that he didn't realize another person creeping up on him. He jumped up , kicked ,and punched the air and gracefully landed back on his feet. He stood there and closed his eyes, as a yellow glow engulfed him, seeming rise from his feet to his head. His spiky onyx hair changed into a yellow hue also, electric currents forming around his balled fists. He moved into a crouched down position, he connected his hands at his wrists and shouted, as energy visibly rotated around his body, then from his palms, a enormous blue beam shot forward.

Moving out form his previous position, he stood up and his hair turned back to its normal shade, and his aura vanished. Suddenly he caught someone else's presence in the vicinity. But it was all to late as he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist. Panicking he powered up quickly , throwing the person off. Turning around to see who it was, he walked up close to see the person's face. Upon seeing their face, he stepped back quickly, thinking he was seeing things.

"It can't be her, it can't be." he thought to himself. He'd imagined it a couple of times, ever since it happened. He'd imagined she would come back, and things would be like they used to be. Still, he had felt someone, and thrown someone off, so it had to be someone even if it wasn't her. Walking back to the person, he couldn't move an inch, when he saw the exact same person again. He considered going back home and leaving this craziness behind, but all thoughts ceased when he heard the person speak.

"Oww..." the person muttered, her eyes still closed. She moved slightly, moving head to face upwards. Her long ebony hair fell across her face, hiding one of her eyes.

"Can it be her?" the young half saiyan asked himself in disbelief.

"Dammit Gohan..." the girl spoke again.

"Gia!?" Gohan knelt by the girl's side.

"Damn right, here I am fresh out of other world. And here you are, trying to put me back in. Geez Gohan, didn't you used to be more friendly?"

"It's you... I can't believe it... I thought you were...were.."

"Gone forever? Yeah so did I, King kai found a way," she smiled. "Doesn't he always. And uh.. gohan? Could you help me?"

Gohan was so caught up in the excitement, he forgot how uncomfortable she must've been sprawled out in the grass, her body twisted in quite an awkward position.

"Oh, I'm sorry." he helped her sit up supporting her back with his arm. She winced as he did this and he saw it, causing him to feel a huge pang of guilt. She read his eyes and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine. I totally could've taken you if I had been ready, I've been doing some training in other world. Besides who in their right mind, sneaks up on a super saiyan when they're training?" he smiled and replied.

"You." It was then when she noticed how different he looked. The short, innocent, boy she once knew, had grown into a tall, handsome young man. He hadn't let his hair grow back out, surprisingly enough, she liked it that way. She had always preferred long hair on him. Although his innocense she noted, still remained. She felt it about him too. His presence was more mature, but of course it was. She wondered if things would be the same between them. But considering one thought that kept running through her mind, things would definitely not be the same. She knew that she would have to give that hope up, because something told her that quite the contrary, it would be extremely difficult.

She could tell he'd been slacking off on training, his power level was slightly more than when she'd last seen him. Considering she hadn't seen him for 7 years, his progress was minimal. This confused her, Goku would never let Gohan slack off. Maybe Goku had finally given in to ChiChi. She let go of that thought as another entered her mind. What was she supposed to do now that she was alive? Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted when she felt her body leaving the ground.

"Um, Gohan?"

"Mmm hmm?"

"What are you doing?"

"Carrying you to my house . You can't walk in your condition." Gia wiggled her legs.

"See, I'm fine." she said crossing her arms.

"If you say so..." he gently placed her on the ground. She looked up at him determinately. She slowly began to stand up, wobbling slightly but successfully standing up. She crossed her arms again and a proud expression crept onto her face.

"Told you." Her stability didn't last too long though, as she fell face forward onto the ground. Trying to stand up again, she finally gave up and sank to her knees, defeated. She hated being the damsel in distress. "Okay fine." Gohan scooped her up into his arms, unable to hide his I-told-you-so grin. He started walking to his house, the night air blowing softly. Moving her head between his chin, and his shoulder, she took in his scent. He smelled of the forest, sweet like the moon flowers covering the hillside. He also smelled of oak, and slightly of sweat, a natural scent. Suddenly, she found herself wondering how his hair smelled. She looked at his face she could tell he was doing some thinking too. What was he thinking about?

"Gia?"

"Yes?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm just thinking."

"What kind of thoughts? Good, bad?"

"You know what, I don't know." She sighed leaning all of her weight into him.

"I really missed you...I thought I'd never see you again." Gia closed her eyes.

"Me too" she said in mid-yawn.

"I'm so glad your back, I...." Gohan stopped when he saw she was sleeping. Taking another look at her face, he tightened his hold on her. Gia gave a slight smile in her sleep. Feeling her stomach give a leap of joy, at something he had just made apparent. He didn't want to let go either.
