A/N: Hi guys! This is my first self-insert Dragonball Z fic, so I hope you SI fans like it! I know most self-inserts are not quite welcomed in the fandom, but hey, who cares. I'm doing this for my own selfishness or benefit, you can say. XD
Anyway, it's been a while I haven't watched DBZ so the fic is gonna focus on the first series first. I say, after 16-23 chapters, I'll be writing the Saiyan saga as soon as I can. If you're kind of bothered of how I write in this fic. Don't read. Makes sense doesn't it? Please enjoy this fic
Chapter 1 - Dinosaurs?!
The brunette sighed while she walked on the sidewalks, heading to her home. She wiped her sweat with her towel and continue walking.
Why Philippines have to be so hot?
She groaned and wiped her sweat again. Hey, at least she's going to lose weight if she keeps this up. She took out an earphone from her pocket and played her music player on her phone.
"Leanne!"
Leanne turned and when a tricycle passed her by. She saw her friend, James, giving a wave and a smile to her. She waved and smiled back, feeling happy to see her friend.
While the vehicle slowly fade from my sight, she sighed and changed the song on her phone.
Tapping on her choice, 'Famous Last Words' by My Chemical Romance blared in her ears. She smiled in content while she heard the music.
Suddenly a thought came up, she wondered if she should go there?
Leanne smirked and stopped. She turned her head to the grassy path and chuckled venomously, before strolling down that path.
Once she reached her destination, she stares in awe at the sight. It was a plain grassy field with the warm sunset in the background. Leanne helped herself by sitting on a rock and watched the sunset turning the skies into a golden orange with a dark blue and violet hue.
"Beautiful, right?"
Leanne saw a familiar farmer behind her, she gave him a smile and turned back to the site.
"It is," she mumbled.
The farmer smiled and sat on a rock like Leanne's. He held out two roasted corns at her.
"Here," he said, "I bet you haven't ate yet."
Leanne chuckled and took the roasted corm from him, "Thank you, Kuya Bon."
Bon nodded and the two watched the sunset together.
"How's school?" he asked, eating his roasted corn.
Leanne shrugged, "Normal... Reyna and Courtney are still bullying me along with some of their friends, teachers giving assignments. The usual." she munched the corn.
Bon sighed, "I swear, those kids are poorly raised. Back in my day, if we bullied another we would be suspended on the spot!" he grumbled.
Leanne laughed and patted the old farmer's thigh, "It's nothing I can't handle, Kuya." she assured.
Bon humphed and crossed his arms, "Bahala ka diyan." he mumbled.
She laughed and she softly slapped his arm and he smiled. They watched the sunset slowly sinked while the midnight skies took over.
"What would you wish for, Leanne?" Bon spoke up, "if you have one wish. What would it be?"
Leanne hummed and leaned her head on his shoulder, "I wish that I'll have a better life. Or I would have more people like you who cared about me. That they would be at my side throught thick and thin, no matter what." she said.
Bon's eyes softened and he patted the young brunette's head. They gazed up at the midnight skies and stared at the twinkling lights. By then, Leanne fell asleep on the farmer's lap.
When Bon took Leanne home, she thanked the old farmer and told him to take care. They said their goodbyes and she headed to the front door.
Leanne took out her spare key and unlocked it, she stepped inside and locked the door behind her.
The house was quiet, she headed to living room and she saw a sticky note on the fridge.
We're at Star City for a vacation.
We'll be back in two weeks, so make sure you do the chores.
- Mom
Joy struck her, she smiled widely and pumped a fist in the air.
"Heck yeah!" she exclaimed.
Two weeks without her infuriating mother. Two weeks without her annoying step father and step siblings. Two weeks all alone in the house to do whatever she wants.
She didn't waste time to do her chores, the sooner she cleans, the sooner she's done. Then she can do whatever she wants in the house. It took her four hours to finish cleaning, Leanne sighed and saw it was 11PM.
Leanne ran up to her room and closed the door behind her. She took a bath and changed in her pjs before making some preparations.
Laptop, check.
Wi-Fi, check.
Mountain Dew, check.
Coke, check.
Hershey's bars, check.
Bags of chips, check.
Leanne smiled and laid on her bed, she turned on her laptop and played the first episode of Dragon Ball.
She sighed in content and watched young Goku headed to his home while rolling a large log wheel with his feet. She smiled happily an continued watching.
Once she finished eight episodes of it, she fell asleep without a care in the world.
ZZZ-ZAP!
Leanne yawned and she stretched her arms over her head. She moves her head left to right and hear a popping sound before standing up.
When she opened her eyes, she didn't expect to find herself in a forest.
"What the heck?" she screamed and looked around. "Why does everything looks bigger and—Ahhh!"
Leanne hit the ground and stared at herself.
Her sixteen year old body was replaced for a ten year old. She stood up, when she found a nearby river Leanne stared at her reflection. She gasped. She wasn't wearing her pajamas anymore, instead she wore a new attire with her backpack and inherited some new traits.
"At least my voice didn't change. Still, how did this happen?" Leanne whispered and touched her cheek.
Figuring this was a dream, she didn't hesitate to slap her cheek.
"Owie!" she yelped, rubbing her face. "Okay, not a dream." she grumbled.
Leanne slid off her backpack and unzipped it. She sighed in relief when she found some of her belongings in it, but she was confused. Why there are some—?
ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!
Leanne jumped at the roar. The ground started shaking and she turned around in shock.
"A dinosaur? I thought they were extinct!" she mentally said, while she stared at the gigantic reptile.
It roared, she scrambled to her feet and ran as fast as she could.
While Leanne ran, she heard heavy steps behind her. The dinosaur roared and she ran faster screaming for help.
"Somebody help me!" she yelled.
"Somebody help me!"
"Huh?"
A young boy woke up and sat up. He rubbed his onyx eyes and yawned heavily, before turning to where the scream sounded.
He scratched his cheek in wonder and tilt his head, "Golly, I'm sure I heard someone screaming for help."
For a while, his ears twitched and his tail stood up straight.
"Help!" a voice cried again.
He stood up, "I knew I wasn't imagining things." he smiled, "don't worry, I'm coming."
He jumped and swing through the trees. The young boy laughed enthusiastically and heard the scream again. This time it was louder.
"Please help!"
His eyes sharpened, "I must be close, coming!" he yelled.
He arrived at his destination and saw someone cowering behind the tree with a dinasour stalking behind them.
"Hey!"
The dinosaur blinked and turned to him.
He held his red pole and stood on the tree branch with a fearless look, "Leave him alone!"
The giant reptile smirked and charged at the boy. When it snapped its jaws at him, he avoided them by jumping in the air and holding out his pole.
"Power pole: extend!"
The pole glowed bright red and extended, he raised it and hit it on the dinosaur's skull.
The dinosaur cried at the hard impact and fell to ground unconscious.p
He landed on the ground with ease and rubbed his neck, "Wow, I didn't mean to hit him that hard." he laughed.
"U-Um,"
He blinked and saw a strange person approaching to him. He tilted his head in wonder as the person bowed to him slightly.
"Th-Thank you for saving me," he stammered.
"You're welcome!" he smiled. "My name is Son Goku, what's yours?"
The strange person stared at him in shock and quickly smiled nervously, "M-My name is Leanne, nice to meet you, Goku."
Goku chuckled and circled him around. Leanne stared at him confused at his actions.
"So Leanne, what are you anyway?" he asked, looking her up and down.
"I'm a human, like you, Goku."
Goku stared. The only human being he saw was his grandpa, "Really? But you look different, you look kind of thin and have long weird hair." he pointed out.
True, her hair does look weird. Instead of her normal black-brown hair, it changed to a dark chocolate shade with colorful ends. Leanne smiled at this and almost forgot that he didn't know what a girl looks like.
"Well, the reason I look different is because I'm a girl."
"A girl? So that's what you are," he continues looking at her and noticed she didn't have a tail like him.
She blinked and saw him staring at her bottom. Normally, she would have slapped someone if they stared at it too long. However, since she knew about Goku's attitude, there was no reason to do that.
"Are you trying to see if I have a tail?" Leanne asked.
He nodded, "Yeah, I am. Seems like you don't though, maybe it takes girls longer to grow theirs."
She laughed, "Well, anyway. Thanks a lot for saving me, really." she rubbed her neck with a blush.
"It's no problem! Hey, why won't you come to my house and I cook you some lunch."
"Okay!"
I can't believe it, I can't believe this is happening! This has to be the best day of my life. First, I'm in Mt. Paozu (which it's weird.). And lastly, I was saved by Goku. One of my top favorite characters!
Ooh, I can't wait to meet the others soon.
I followed Goku and the two of us talked while we headed to his house.
He first asked me about my bag. Goku didn't know what kind of bag it is, so I told him. He told me it looks kind of weird since he never saw a backpack before except his own bag.
When we arrived to his house, I gasped and gushed how cute it is before rushing inside.
He laughed and followed, "Why don't you stay here while I catch some fish, okay? It won't take me too long to catch one."
I nodded and sat on the bed. When Goku left cheerfully, I noticed the four-star Dragon Ball.
I stared at it sadly and couldn't help but contemplate. How long did Goku live in this house without Gohan? Did he ever feel lonely without him? I slid off my backpack on the bed and walked towards the Dragon Ball slowly.
I stopped and fold my hands in front. I bowed to it respectfully, since the ball symbolizes as Gohan's shrine. It's important for me to show respect
"Hello, Mr. Gohan." I whispered, "my name is Leanne Calio. It is a pleasure to meet you, sir."
"Leanne!"
I turned and saw Goku laughing with two large fishes in his grasps, "I got some lunch."
I smiled and nodded, I didn't hesitate to help him clean the guts out of the fish. Once we're done, we talked and had fun while we cooked the fishes in the fire.
After that, once the fish was cooked. Both of us sat and ate them, Goku ate it with much noise and without manners, and I ate quietly. While he gobbled up his food, I finished some part of my fish and felt my stomach full.
"Are you going to finish that?" he asked, pointing at my left overs.
Blame me. The fishes he caught are huge.
I nodded and he happily eats it. I held my cheeks with my elbows on my lap, watching him eat my leftovers.
My heart thumped and I gulped, "Hey Goku?"
He swallowed his fish and turned to me, "What is it, Leanne?"
I twirled my hair in nervousness, "C-Can I stay here with you for a while? I don't have a place to live, you know." I muttered hastily.
He smiled widely and nodded, "Of course, you can, Leanne."
I smiled back feeling so happy at his acceptance. Throughout the day, we had fun together. We played tag, hide n' seek, and rock paper scissors.
It was one of the happiest day of my life.
