Yay here is the first chapter of my first Red Dwarf fanfic, in it the crew are introduced to my character Mia, who is a kick ass saiyan (Dragonball Z) from another dimension, you don't need to have seen or even heard of Dragonball z to understand, I just like the saiyan spieces and I'm too lazy to come up with a name for an alien race of my own. I hope you enjoy, please leave a review so i know whether or not to continue.

Mia

Mia sighed as she walked through the void, she missed her friends, she hated being the watcher of the Pures, yet she loved it all the same, seeing as it was for that reason that she had friends, them all being Pures and all. On her last mission the Void had thrown her into the world of digital monsters where she had met the digi destined and their worlds Pure, a girl named Kari. The digi destined of Light. She sighed again, she still hadn't found out the reason for her existence in these worlds, they didn't need her, so why was she there, her missions weren't even missions, they were just vacations, and if she happened to be of some help to someone then whoopee, yet here she was, back in a place worse than hell itself, a place of loneliness, a place that has no day, nor night, a place that sees no second nor minute. A place of nothing, a place where time stands still. She looked to her watch, pressing a button allowing the green projection to show all the data the watch held.

"Bored bored bored, stupid void, where is oh there it is," she clicked on something on the projection screen, the screen disappeared only to be replaced by a bracelet floating in green light. She grabbed the bracelet and put it on her watch free wrist, before pressing another button on the watch and turning it into a replica of the bracelet. "I'm so glad that I created you oh beautiful and powerful watch that holds all my things like a capsule from the Z world, so happy about the fact I can play games with you that I'm not even going to comment on how mad I've gotten talking to a watch," she finished with a smile. A shining light brought her attention before her body lunged forward on its own.

It had been a busy day for the crew of red dwarf, or rather what was left of it.

"Well Listy it seems that you were wrong," Rimmer boasted as he puffed out his chest.

"Smeg off Rimmer ," Lister replied in his usual fashion.

"Hey would you two monkeys be quite, I'm trying to catch up on my beauty sleep, not that I need any," Cat said from his seat as he rested his head on a silver pillow that sat on his shoulder.

"How long till we get back to Red Dwarf Kryten?" Lister asked the mechanoid from his seat at the controls of Starbug.

"Not too long Sir," Kryten replied stopping his conversation with Holly to answer Lister's question. Suddenly the ship jerked causing all standing to lose balance.

"Holly what the hell was that?!" Lister asked the blonde as he tried to stand only to lose balance as the ship jerked again.

"I'm not sure, the scanners are picking up a being from another world," Holly answered, Rimmer grimaced, just what they needed.

"Not Ace smegging Rimmer?" he asked as he regained his footing.

"No chaps, this one seems to be trying to enter our cockpit," Holly said, as she finished a black hole opened within Starbug.

"Brace yourselves!" Kryten cried as the ships jerking became worse. A small form was thrown out of the black hole at Rimmer, the two smashed to the ground as the black hole collapsed on itself, the jerking stopped, leaving no signs that it even occurred, well that is if you don't count the small moving thing on the Red Dwarf's hologram.

"Ow, that hurt," a small voice grumbled from on top of Rimmer.

Rimmer looked at the girl that sat on him with a frown, she appeared to be no more the eleven maybe ten, she had black hair that was tied back and was adorning a black T-shirt as well as navy blue jeans. She looked down at Rimmer with a pair of sparkling jade green eyes. She smiled at the hardlight hologram.

"Hi my names Mia, thanks for softening my fall," she said as she got up off of Rimmer. Rimmer looked at the child curiously as she offered him a helping hand, he ignored her as he pushed himself up. She frowned at him before looking around the ship, noticing the others. She sweat dropped as they all stared at her, she should be used to this having been tossed from dimension to dimension but she still hated being stared at. She coughed and decided to get on with it, putting on a smile.

"Hi my name's Mia," she repeated introducing herself to the crew.

"Mia, my name's Lister, how did you get here?" he asked her, his tone annoyed her, he was talking to her like she was a child.

"You must have missed the huge black hole that appeared in the middle of the room then?" she said sarcastically before turning back to Rimmer. "I hope I didn't hurt you," she said politely with a small bow.

"No I always get hit with large fast moving projectiles," he said in his usual Rimmer fashion, earning looks of disapproval from Lister.

"I can see why, what's that H stand for hit me," she replied earning a laugh from Lister in the background. Rimmer frowned at the girl.

"For your information it happens to stand for hologram," he answered with a hint of irritation. Mia let out a little smirk before turning to address the others.

"Mr Lister is he always a pompous git?" she asked Lister with some amusement. Rimmer huffed.

"Now listen here I will not tolerate such an...." started Rimmer only to be cut off by Lister.

"Smeg off Rimmer, listen sweetheart just call me Lister ok?" Lister asked her kindly, again Mia sweat dropped. Sweetheart?

"Ok Lister, would you please introduce your friends?" she asked as she indicated to Kryten and Cat.

"Oh right, well this here is Kryten and Cat," he answered her with a smile.

"What am I then?" Holly asked in the background.

"Sorry Holl, that's Holly the ships computer," Lister informed her as she nodded.

"So Lister, Cat, Kryten, Holly and Rimmer?" she asked as she indicated to everyone. Lister nodded as Kryten started a conversation with Mia while Rimmer just scoffed at her before leaving the room.

"So Miss Mia, how did you get here?" Kryten asked her, Mia sighed.

"The big black hole, it likes to throw me from dimension to dimension," she answered taking a seat by Lister.

"Where are you from?" Lister asked her trying not to frighten the girl.

"I come from the void," she said, though she didn't expect them to know where that was. Her stomach grumbled causing her to blush. "Er sorry I haven't eaten a decent meal for a while," she laughed while rubbing the back of her head.

"Well then, we shall have to see what we can do about that," said Kryten as he ushered the girl out of the room, taking her to the kitchen area, leaving Lister and the Cat alone with Holly in the cockpit.

"Er lads, you might want to know she isn't human," Holly said breaking the silence.

"Ay, what'd you mean Holl?" Lister asked turning to the screen.

"The girl, the scanners say she isn't human Dave," Holly replied, it was Cat who voiced the next question.

"Not human? Then what is she?"

"Dunno she's not from earth," Holly answered.

"So she's an alien?" asked Rimmer as he re-entered the room seeing as their guest had gone. "Well we should put her in quarantine, she could be dangerous," he said in a smug tone.

"Rimmer no, she's just a kid," Lister said firmly, knowing where the hologram was heading.

"How do you know? She could be from a race that never ages," Rimmer insisted, "She could be older then all of us put together," he continued.

"You know we could just ask her," The Cat suggested, Rimmer scoffed.

"Oh that's a great Idea Cat, lets walk up to her and ask her, if she belongs to a species that would kill us all without thought," Rimmer started, no one noticed the return of Kryten and their guest who raised an eyebrow at the hologram.

"I do actually, I'm a Saiyan, but as I have no reason to kill you, I'd like to be friends, but if you're that scared of a fourteen year old then I guess I'll just leave," she said ending on a small sad note putting on a little pout before leaving the room. Lister frowned at Rimmer before following after the girl.

"Mr Rimmer sir, that was most uncalled for," Kryten said to Rimmer who had the decency to look like he knew he had been a total goit.

"Mia wait!" Lister called out to her, she stopped and turned around with a smile on her face.

"What's up Lister?" she asked, Lister looked confused for a second making Mia burst out into laughter. "Oh please, I can handle Mr Rimmer, I was just messing with him, I can leave if you guys want me to," she said answering Lister curious look.

"Ay no one wants you to leave kid," Lister replied firmly, Mia rolled her eyes.

"I can take care of myself, I have been for years," she said defiantly.

"I don't care, you're too smegging young to be looking after yourself, now where are your parents?" he asked her as he began leading her back to the kitchen area.

"They're dead," she said flatly, Lister cringed.

"Sorry I didn't know," he replied apologising. Mia scoffed.

"Don't be, they tried to kill me, I'm glad the Saiyan race is practically extinct," she said with a hint of anger making Lister step back a bit

"Hang on, what you mean they tried to kill ya?" he asked her feeling a bit outraged.

"Well they ordered me to purge a planet, I refused so they had me executed, sept I lived," she answered in a smug tone, one a child should never be able to reach. Lister gave her an odd look, but he didn't know what the Saiyan culture was like so he couldn't really judge.

"Well listen you're welcome to stay with us," he offered her, she smiled.

"Thanks I will, until the void pulls me back that is, so where we going?" she asked as she sat down at the table in the kitchen area.

"We're heading for Red Dwarf, that's our ship where we live, we're trying to get home to earth," he answered. The two sat there explaining to one and other about their situations, Mia told Lister about all the worlds she had seen and all the friends she had made, while Lister told her about all their past adventures that had occurred after the drive plate blew.

"So then me and Gohan tried to cook dinner for Chichi, except we almost burnt the house down," she said with a laugh earning one back from Lister.

"Well then, we better not let you near the uncooked food," he said with a smile on his lips, he had listened to the girl's story and she had listened to his. He felt for the girl, much like he felt for Kryten when they had first met, it isn't easy being alone like that, but she had quite an imagination, flying and battling monsters from a young age. Mia rolled her eyes, she heard that last thought. It was then that the swish of a door alerted them to someone else's presence.

"Ah there you are, listen Mia I wanted to apologise," Rimmer said as he walked over to the pair, he stopped and looked to Lister. "Lister do you mind?" he asked snidely.

"No go ahead, don't let me stop you," Lister replied with a grin, Rimmer scowled.

"Out," he ordered. Lister grumbled before reluctantly leaving the room, though he stood just outside the door to listen in, in case Rimmer started acting like a prat again.

Rimmer took the seat that Lister had evacuated from. He sighed.

"Yes well as I've already said, I want to apologise, so here it is, I'm sorry," he said, grimacing as he said the word sorry. He stood up to leave but Mia grabbed his hand making him look at her in surprise. She indicated to the chair, waiting for the hologram to sit down.

"So Rimmer, Lister told me all about you, it's only fair, that I tell you about me," she said with a smile, Rimmer nodded in response, a ghost of a smile playing up on his lips. Mia nodded back and looked towards the door where she knew Lister was hiding. "Lister are you going to come in or are you going to stand out there all day eavesdropping?" she asked with a hint of amusement. The door opened allowing Lister to stick his head in.

"Nah you're alright I've heard all of this," Lister replied with a cheeky grin before hightailing it out of there, probably to inform Kryten and the Cat about their newest member, though from what she heard she knew that the Cat probably wouldn't care though she had to hand it to him, he was a fine looking creature, she giggled at the thought.
