Author's Note: Hey guys! This is my very first fan fiction I have ever written. I'm also combining the first few chapters because of how short they are.

Lucy sat in the woods behind her orphanage and stared at the makeshift grave she had made for her tragically slain puppy. "This is all my fault", she whispered quietly to herself. "This shouldn't have happened to you, I shouldn't have told that idiot girl about you then those mean boys wouldn't have found you and done ….if only I were stronger!", she cried as she began to cry and try to rip her two animal ear shaped horns from her bright pink head of hair. Lucy gave up and took to sobbing into her knees uncontrollably. She sat their in sorrow and thought about how those orphanage bullies beat her new friend to death. He had been her only true friend and she let him down in the worst way possible. She then began to think about how those boys held her by her arms after he was dead and how they laughed at her for crying over "a stupid dog". Then she remembered the horrible thing she did and the pleasure she felt as her vectors suddenly rose out from their long slumber deep inside her and ripped all those boys into a thousand pieces. No! she could not think about that. What she had done she thought was a great act of revenge, but she also knew was very wrong and she knew she could never go back into that orphanage again; they would surely blame her for their deaths.

As Lucy sat lost in her thoughts a shiny blue ball soared over the trees she was near and landed a few feet from where she was sitting. Lucy jumped in shock, "Someone must have done that on purpose. They were aiming for me." , she thought as she prepared herself for attack. "I'll show whoever did that they can't just go around trying to hurt people just because they look different." Just then a teenage girl with turquoise hair came bouncing right over to where Lucy was sitting and for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to carry out her devious plan.

"Hey kid! Would you mind throwing that ball over to me!" the girl shouted as she waved her hands. Lucy just stood there and stared blankly at the girl, "If she ran all this way she can walk a little farther to get a stupid ball."

"Thanks" , the girl with turquoise hair said sarcastically as she went over to retrieve the ball. She looked over at Lucy and gave her a mean glare; then a surprised look crossed her features. "Hey, are those real horns?" Lucy glared back at the girl and her vectors sprang to life and flew over to the girl inches from her face when she spoke again, "they're really cute." Lucy's vectors retreated back into her body as quickly as they sprang out and she gave the girl a confused look.

"You think my horns are cute?", she asked utterly bewildered. "You don't think I'm a freak?"

"Are you kidding, you're a little cutie. Why would anyone think you were a freak?" the girl said as she suddenly remembered her ball and picked it up. "My name is Bulma, do you want to come play ball with me and my friends?"

Lucy gave Bulma a mistrusting look, how could anyone find her cute? She was hideous everyone at her old home thought so. Even her mother did that's why she gave her up for adoption in the first place.

" Oh come on", Bulma pleaded, it's going to be a lot of fun. We need a fourth person for our game anyway. I promise we don't bite.", she added this last bit with a coy smile on her face. She started walking away and after a moment's hesitation Lucy began to follow her down to the beach. When they reached their destination two teenage boys were waiting, one was standing around with a floating cat by his left shoulder looking like he didn't want to be there and the other was sitting down in the shade chowing down on a sandwich. When Bulma caught sight of the one wolfing down the sandwich she marched over to him and threw the ball at his head.

"Hey!", he shouted, " You just knocked my sandwich into the sand Bulma."

"Well that's what you get for eating ALL of the sandwiches! I see all those wrappings you have behind your back!"

The boy put his hand behind his head and gave her a sheepish smile in return. "Sorry, I was really hungry, hehe."

"You are ALWAYS hungry!"

"Hey, who's that girl behind you?" Goku asked pleased to change the subject when he saw the shy little girl standing a little ways away from them.

Bulma immediately changed her mood from angry to confused as she looked behind her and then remembered the little girl she found in the woods. "Oh! This is… hey wait what is your name?"

"My name is Lucy." she replied shyly looking down at the sand.

"It's nice to meet you properly Lucy." Bulma said back. "That boy over there who doesn't know how to eat correct portions is Goku and the one who didn't do anything to stop him is named Yamcha. The cat flying next to him is Puar." They all waved at Lucy when their names were called, but she just stared at them all in response.

"Um, hi," she said again quietly. "So, what kind of game are you guys going to play?"

"All of us are going to play four square so you should come close and stand in this square Yamcha is going to draw in the sand."

"Me? Why do I have to do it?"

"BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T STOP GOKU FROM STUFFING HIS FACE NOW GET A MOVE ON AND DRAW THE SQUARE!" Bulma yelled at Yamcha as his face turned red. He immediately began to draw the square with a stick he found and Lucy chuckled a little to herself. When he was done Bulma explained the rules to Lucy and they began to play. At first, Lucy wasn't very good at it, but as more time went on she began to get better and actually started having a good time and genuinely felt like maybe she had found some friends. It was the best day Lucy could remember ever having and when it began to rain her mood instantly got brought down because she knew all her new friends were going to leave her.

"Oh no! It's raining, I guess we better call it a day you guys." Yamcha said with sarcasm. He then went over to where all their stuff was and started to gather it together.

"Yea I guess it's time to go, where do you live Lucy we'll all walk you there." Goku said as he smiled at Lucy.

"Oh that's ok I can walk home myself." she said quickly looking vaguely ashamed.

"Don't be ridiculous, we aren't going to leave you alone out here." Bulma stated. "Forget about walking we can drive you, I think I brought my capsules with me."

"Well you see I don't really have a home anymore so bringing me anywhere would kind of be pointless." Lucy said she could feel her cheeks getting hot as her embarrassement rose inside her.

"Uh? You don't have a home? Where are your parents?"

"I don't have any…."

"Lucy, you are coming home with me to Capsule Corp. My parents won't mind they love helping people. Do not bother protesting I'm not taking no for an answer." Bulma added when she saw that Lucy was going to open her mouth to protest.

"You would really want me to live with you?" Lucy asked, hope coming through in her voice.

"Of course I would! I always wanted a little sister to dress up, and put make up on and tell secrets to and talk about boys and-

"Bulma, we get it you want a sister and now you're getting one stop being a girl." Yamcha grunted out. Bulma shot him the most menacing glare she could muster before she opened her capsule case and released a mini van like car from its capsule. Everyone climbed inside it except for Lucy who stood in the rain feeling uneasy.

"Let's go Lucy, my parents are going to love you I promise. You are going to have the best time with me." But Lucy was not being hesitant because she was worried about what her new found friends were going to do to her, she was worried about what she might do to them. She could feel her dark passenger still lurking somewhere deep inside her even though she just found these wonderful people who actually wanted to be her friends. She did not want to hurt them after all the kindness they had all shown her, but in the end she made the choice to go with them. Maybe being with these people could stop the darkness from manifesting and she would finally be happy with them, she knew it. She just hoped the happiness wouldn't be cut short by something terrible happening.

"They don't actually care about you, you know. They are just going to hurt you like all of the other humans. Why don't you just destroy them now before something awful happens to you."

"Shut up!" Lucy screamed into the silence of the minivan. When everyone else in the van turned around and looked at her with concerned expressions it dawned on her that no one except for her could hear the taunting annoying voice that had been nudging her for the past ten minutes.

"Are you ok, Lucy?" Goku asked with so much concern in his voice Lucy felt like she could cry. No one had ever used a tone of voice like that directly to her in her whole life and it made her feel guilty. She could feel her whole face getting red with embarrassment and shame.

"Oh, I'm fine Goku. I just had a bad dream that's all." She tried to give him a reassuring smile, but the look he gave back to her was one of worry and mistrust. She looked around at everyone else to see if their looks matched Goku's and was pleasantly surprised to see that Bulma and Yamcha had already forgotten about her random outburst and were arguing about which way to take to get back to Capsule Corp. The turquoise cat, Puar, was lounging in Yamcha's lap with giant headphones on. It was clear that he had been present for these arguments before and found a clever solution to get through the day without pulling his fur out in frustration from these two. Lucy looked back at Goku and saw that he was still looking at her with that same expression. "What?", she asked defensively. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I've been bored since we got in here you see so I was watching everyone in the car to see what they were doing to relieve there boredom and you were definitely not sleeping when I looked over at you a few minutes ago. You were actually being kind of creepy staring off like you were in a trance or something."

"I sleep with my eyes open.", she replied in a very non convincing tone.

"Oh well alright then! That makes a lot of sense, you were freakily still I thought you went into a coma or something. Haha!" Goku grinned hugely at Lucy then settled back into his seat like he didn't just pull a 180 on his suspicions. Lucy stared at Goku with her mouth open thinking to herself how easy it was to convince him with a lie she wasn't even fifty percent committed to.

"He's on to you; it's only a matter of time before he discovers what you did and then he is going to try to kill you for it. You need to stop him; rip him to pieces! Hehehehehe." The dark passenger gave a sinister chuckle in Lucy's head which sent shivers down her spine. It wasn't always going to be there now was it? Lucy wasn't sure she would be able to ignore it forever, especially if it kept saying things like that to her. What if it was right and Goku really did find out what she did? What would they think of her if they knew they just befriended a monster? But Goku was a really simple person. She discovered this after only a few hours of hanging around with him. He was more immature than she was and there was no way someone like that could figure out her true nature. Was there?

Lucy was pulled out of her reverie when the minivan screeched to a stop and basically everything and everyone in the van went face first into whatever was in front of them. "We're here you guys!" Bulma announced cheerfully oblivious to the fact that everyone else was groaning with pain. She immediately jumped out of the van and went and slide open the passenger side door. She grabbed Lucy by the hand and pulled her out of the van. "Come on! You have to meet my parents now. I hope you love sweets because my mom has a habit of feeding everyone she knows a ton of them! Then we can decide which room will be yours and buy you new clothes and furniture! Ooooooh, its going to be so much fun!"

"Are you sure your parents are going to be okay with this?" Lucy panted out as she tried to keep up with the sprinting Bulma.

"My parents will like anything and anyone I tell them to because I am their pride and joy and they will do anything to make me happy."

"Oh ok."

When Bulma ran out of energy they were on the front doorstep of the Capsule Corp. house and Lucy was immediately surprised at how circular the house was. "Are houses supposed to be round?" Lucy asked utterly confused.

"The good ones are." Bulma answered with a smile in her voice. "You better get used to it because this is going to be your home for a long time. Wait here, I am going to go get my parents."

"Ok" Lucy answered, but she might as well have said it to no one Bulma had already dashed inside. She could not believe how huge and nice this "house" was. She had never seen anything so magnificent in her life. A sudden surge of excitement and hope welled up inside her body. Her life was about to become a whole lot different than what it used to be and she hoped she could be a good sister to Bulma and a good daughter to the Briefs. And she really really hoped her dark passenger wouldn't get in the way.
