'Goku?' He cried, shocked and jumped out of his hands. He stared at his reflection and stared at his tail as if he had never seen it before.

Dende frowned and stared at Goku. 'you know him?' he questioned.

'Never seen him in my life' Goku replied, confused that this person knew his name.

'What's your name?' Goku questioned the teenager.

He was a light brown Asian. He was 5"10 and slightly shorter than Goku with an under average build. All in all, Goku thought, he looked a bit weedy but he didn't think it in an unkind manner.

'My name's Mu' he whispered, not looking away from either of their faces. 'And you... you must be Dende'. He exclaimed loudly. He sat down and covered his face with his hands. 'Am I dreaming?' he wondered aloud and pinched himself which was very painful. 'Nope'.

'Hmm, well you're probably wondering how I know you guys'. He ascertained, starting his story from a nod from Goku. 'Well, this might sound crazy, but I lived in a sort of parallel world to this one, mostly the same but without the Z fighters or lookout. I used to live an ordinary life and I also used to be human. But all that changed, when Gotenks appeared'. He said in one breath.

The Namek and Saiyan looked, uncomprehending by what Mu had said in that last sentence.

'Are you sure it was Gotenks' Goku questioned.

'Sure I am! 'Mu said a bit offended. 'I'm a passionate fan of yours you see in my world, you're fictional characters and I used to fantasise over being part of this great world. Gotenks was the first. Gogeta, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Gohan, Cell and even Frieza appeared next'. Dende gasped. He knew this boy was telling the truth.

'What happened next?' Dende urged Mu.

'Well the dragon balls appeared as well. They called upon the dragon and it was Porunga. He allowed the wisher to have three wishes. I jumped from my hiding space and used up all three of the wishes before they could stop me'.

'What did you wish for?' Goku enquired.

'My first wish was to freeze time in that world; everything and everyone except for me. The second was to turn me into a Saiyan with a tail with some conditions that I put in places to stop involuntary transformations at the full moon. The third was to send me into the DBZ world with the instant transmission technique taught to me so I could travel between the two worlds. The dragon told me one thing though. He said that because I was originally from that world, I could travel between both of them but you guys couldn't and you would meet a barrier if you tried'. Mu concluded.

Dende swore once Mu had finished his story. 'How could this have happened?'

Mu shrugged. 'I have no idea mate'.

'Goku'. Goku looked at Mu. 'I need your help please. I need to become strong enough to defeat these clones. You are the greatest martial artist that the world has ever known and Earth needs your help once again to survive'. Mu bowed his head.

'Sure thing Mu'

Mu stared back, 'just like that?'

'Yup. I can feel that you have pure intentions and I can't refuse you when you put it like that'.

Mu smiled. It had been the first time in a long time. 'I don't know how long Porunga will keep that world frozen so I need to start training as soon as possible Can I sleep somewhere please, its quite late and I have a splitting headache where I face planted the ground?'.

'I'm sure Bulma won't mind putting you up for a while. Goku mused.

'Ok let's go to Capsule Corps'. Goku still couldn't get used to how this stranger knew a lot about them.

'So you say we're fictional'

'Yeah you're a TV show and you're in some video games and I absolutely love u guys', Mu claimed passionately.

'Oh and let me get us to Bulma. I want to practise my new skills'. He put two fingers to his head and concentrated. 'What am I looking for?'

'Vegeta should be near Bulma. Try to sense a Saiyan's power level, it differs from an human. Look for the highest and go there'.

'Right' mu said.

He scrunched his face in concentration and disappeared and reappeared at Capsule Corp, Goku closely following behind. They appear behind Vegeta who jumps when the two Saiyans appear out of the darkness

'Damn it Kakarot, do you have to do that? There's a door for a reason you clown'. Vegeta shouts defensively as he quickly changers channel from strictly come dancing. Goku stops a smile and tries to apologise without cracking up.

'Sorry about that, veg. I'm looking for Bulma'.

Vegeta sniffs indifferently and says he couldn't care less. Mu and Goku laugh at Vegeta's awkwardness, bringing Mu to Vegeta's attention.

'You look like that boy, a pathetic saiyan that we found outside'. He sneers.

'Vegeta!' Goku cries.

'Yeah I am. Problem?'

'What are you doing here?'

'He's come from a parallel world and there are evil clones of us who have invaded their world. He wants to become stronger so we're all going to teach him, you included.'

'What!' Mu and Vegeta both exclaim.

'Vegeta is a battle hardened warrior. He'll be able to teach you lots of stuff as well. Oh and Vegeta, if you don't, I'll tell everyone what I saw you doing last months.

'Oh bloody hell Kakarot. Fine' Vegeta grumbled. 'You better not mention anything or I swear I'll beat your head into the ground.'

Goku bent down in a secretive manner and whispered to Mu ' I saw him dancing to Saturday night Fever,' He giggled.

'AHAHAAHAHAAHAHA!' Mu slapped his sides and collapsed on the floor with Vegeta looking at Goku with contempt.

'KAKAROOOOT!' Vegeta shouted.

'Oops! My mouth slipped' laughed Goku. Goku and Mu ran out the room before Vegeta could blast them and bumped into Bulma.

'Oops, sorry guys. Who's this?' Bulma asked softly.

'This is Mu, Bulma'. He relayed what Mu had told him to Bulma and she gasped and looked at him sympathetically. 'Sure you can stay at mine', giving him a smile. He smiled uneasily back.

'Where's everyone else?' Goku asked.

'They're all sleeping in the guest wing because we were all waiting for you to come back and it got late.'

'I'm going to find chi-chi. Goodnight Bulma. I'll see you in the morning Mu. Goodnight Mu.

'Goodnight Goku' Bulma and Mu chorused.

'Follow me Mu, I'll find you a bed to sleep in'. She said. Mu heard a double meaning in there that didn't exist and blushed at the thought. Luckily Bulma didn't notice.

'Now let me see... Room 690 is free'. They stopped in front of a room and Bulma knocked and opened the door, just in case she was wrong. The room was empty and was equipped with basic furniture and a bed. 'Feel free to call us or anyone from that phone on the corner, if you need anything'. Mu nodded and smiled.

'Thanks'.

'No problem Mu. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.' With that she left the room and closed the door. Mu followed to the door and locked it. He was feeling slightly insecure and who could blame him? He took off his shoes and was too tired to do anything else so he laid in his bed and let the abyss of sleep claim him.
