just FYI, Also a little Japanese will be mixed in but as for Japanese names I'm
too lazy to go and look them all up so I use English.
Ii
desu Wakaru
"Almost read dear?" called a
motherly voice from outside the hall in which Tomei Touya was standing
adjusting her hair. It was the night most sixteen-year-old girls like Tomei
dreamed about: prom night. Her sky blue eyes twinkled with delight; it would be
such a perfect night. Tomei stepped away from the hallway mirror and into the
front room.
She smiled
at her parents while she walked out the door with her date. Tomei was escorted
to her date's car. The night sky was perfect and full of stars twinkling their
black velvet sky. A sudden breeze blew Tomei's chestnut brown hair forward. The
breeze was gentle at first but began to gain strength. Now the wind was blowing
harder than ever. Tomei looked up to see a glowing object steadily falling
towards earth.
Her date
grabbed her wrist and pushed her behind his car while what looked as if a space
ship had fallen. Tomei has crouched down on the group her pink satin dress she
wore now full of grass stains was surely the least of her worries.
What would
happened for the next hours would be a blur of forgotten moments.
From behind or what seemed like that someone or something
covered her mouth and she began to feel drowsy. There was and explosion she
heard and a scream. Tomei's eyes began to heavy and tired. She was now on bed,
or at least she thought. She heard voices and saw dark figures. Her head hurt
horribly. Tomei tried her hardest to hear what was being said.
"Master
plan….earth….50%….power….60%….break in….fool…Saiyan….70%….75%…."
Tomei heard
something that sounded like Japanese speaking then another explosion and she
was picked up and heard two last sayings.
"Revenge…Goku…."
The first
thing Tomei felt as she began to awake was pain: a dull ache in her head.
"What a
dream" she thought.
Her eyes began to adjust to her surroundings. Tomei,
expecting to see her room come into focus found something totally different.
"Nani?!"
she said aloud.
She tried
to recall the dream some how she had a sickening feeling it wasn't a dream. The
details of it however slipped away from her faster than sand falling through an
hourglass. The space ship she recalled first. What did they want with and
ordinary person like her?
Tomei
rubbed her eyes. No change when she looked around. Her heart began to pump
faster. She glanced over at the door. Cautiously she opened it and slowly
walked out of the room. Down the hall she saw a kitchen with a woman cooking
while a man and a little girl were sitting at the table.
They
weren't speaking English that was for sure. In fact they were speaking what
sounded like Japanese and fluently. Tomei could only make out bits of what they
were saying. When the man mentioned Goku that word seemed oddly familiar to
her. Tomei thought for a moment didn't Goku mean "rice" translated? The thought
occurred to her of a box of rice brining her here and she began to giggle.
(Author's
note: From now on unless other wise inferred Gohan, Pan, and Videl are talking
Japanese and Tomei has a very, very vague idea of what they are saying)
"That's the
girl Goku saved in American last night Otousama, ne?" Pan sad noticing Tomei
peeking in through the hallway door.
All Tomei
heard was rice, dad, no and it didn't look like they were eating rice.
The man at
the table turned towards her hiding space.
"Ohayoo gozaimasu"
he said. Which Tomei thought was "Good
morning" the only thing that Tomei could think of to say back was:
"Kyoo wa ii
tenki desu ne" which meant, "Nice weather today isn't it?" the rest of the
people seemed oddly confused, who wouldn't be?
"Hajimemashite"
the woman said and Tomei was pretty sure that was "Nice to meet you"
Tomei
thought for a moment before saying:
"Watashi was Tomei, watashi was American-jin"
"Sugio!"
said Pan
"Hai, her Japanese is not to bad but I doubt she'll
understand us", said Gohan
"I haven't
taken English since high school, wish I'd paid more attention to it instead of
thinking about Great Saiyan Man." Commented Videl causing a slight reddish tint
in Gohan's cheeks.
"Oh forget
it I'll never be able to keep this up" Tomei said aloud.
"I just
want to go home, I don't know what happened last night and I don't care to know
just let me go home." Tomei with no effect to the people it was directed at.
How awful
it was to not be understood and on your own.
"Doesn't
look like I'm in Kansas anymore, where are a pair of ruby slippers when you
need them?" Tomei added with more confused faces.
