"Does anyone have some Band-Aids?"
"I'll get a wet cloth for her head."
"I wonder where she came from!"
"You should probably get some Bactine for her leg, Krillin."
"Sure thing, Gohan."
Have you ever been shoved down under water? Like you can hear and see everything except their so blurry and blotted you can hardly understand them? That s exactly how I felt. Almost as if someone had tried to drown me and had failed. There were voices fuzzy, but they were definatly there. A lot of them all different all around me but were so murky I couldn t understand any of the words meanings. I tried to move but I felt utterly exhausted like I had been just been hit by train, I couldn t even find the strength to open my eyes to see what was going on. So all I could do was listen or at least attempt to. Focusing I could hear the voices again they seemed so soft and very far away. So faint I could barely hear them. Almost like someone was calling me in a dream. Then I start to wonder if this actually was a dream! But that wasn t right. No one knew when they were dreaming. But the voices they were getting louder, sharper. The words were a lot clearer now and I could understand everything that was being said around me. But when I actually concentrated on the voices I noticed I didn t recognize any of them. I could feel movement around me and a few places like my forehead, my wrist and my calf being touched, but yet I still couldn t muster enough energy or courage to open my eyes to see what exactly was going on. I struggled inwardly to overcome my fear. It wasn t like I could fake sleep forever so finally I opened my eyes. Everything was blurry at first like I really was underwater but eventually my vision cleared and I could now observe a group of people sitting around me in a semi circle. I gazed at their faces for a moment before looking around and soon discovering I was laying on a couch covered with bandages. My soccer uniform was still in place and were still soaking wet from the previous rainstorm along with my arms covered in soil. That s when I remembered. The storm, the tree and then the hole I had fell into. Wherever I was it definatly wasn t wonderland because I didn t see any white rabbit bouncing around. Feeling slightly confused as to where I was I turned my attention to the people staring at me. But that s when I notice I don t recognize any of them. This was hardly what I needed at the moment. When my entire body was covered with bruises and soaking wet the last thing I wanted was for a bunch of people to stare at me like I was some kind of freak. Look, she s awake! exclaimed a short, curious looking, black haired kid. My heart started to pound furiously and panic started to seep into my mind as my breath shortened. I quickly sat up glancing around the room, locating the door I tensed my muscles preparing to make a mad dash for it on the other side of the room. All of a sudden, right be for I take off at a sprint, my leg gave out and I met the ground face first. Not only with the pain that circulated throughout my face hurt but the pain in my calf that had spread up to my knee hurt as well. But it was ten times worse for my leg. It felt like someone was searing me with a hot poker, I bit my lip trying to hold back a cry of agony from escaping from my mouth. I couldn t remember anything that hurt this badly. Sure I had my share of falls and broken bones simply because of my clumsy nature but this was a pain that I had yet to experience until now. I manage to turn myself over and lift myself up to observe my leg. I ran my hand down my thigh to examine the damage and discovered a long dark still bleeding cut on my lower leg. It was bandaged tightly to prevent the bleeding but still seemed to seep through. I looked over it carefully before raising myself up slowly to my feet. But before I can turn around and walk away one of the people in the room, with really messy black hair and a seemingly silly look on his face cried out to me. Wait don t leave! I leveled him with my gaze and watched him carefully. Why, shouldn t I? I replied. I scanned the room again meeting everyone s gaze. Who are you people anyway? And why am I all bandaged up? I asked. If I wasn t going to leave now I might as well start asking questions. "Please," replies a blue-haired woman with bright blue eyes that was sitting fairly close to where I was standing. "We just want to help you. Let us explain" I narrowed my eyes at her but really what choice did I actually have? I was injured and I wasn t in any condition to fight for my right to leave even if I wanted to. Let us explain. She repeated as if trying to calm me down. But what I was really thinking was how on earth would I be able to resist them if they really wanted to keep me here? So reluctantly I sat back down this time in the circle with them. I crossed my arms waiting for an explanation from the woman. When nobody says a word I could feel my temper flaring. Was this just some ploy to keep me here? I sighed wracking my brain of how to kick off this conversation. Ok, so I m Greydi. I said looking at them So you who are you guys and where am I? I asked figuring I might as well start off. You re at Capsule Corp! said a small bald man that sat to the side of me. I gave him a confused look. Capsule Corp? I question quietly. Yeah. He replied. Wait don t tell me you ve never heard of Capsule Corp before! I shook my head at him trying to place where I was. Uh well. He said looking down seeing as he must have lost his words at my unexpected reply. He looked up again regaining his confidence. Well, we all live here. That s Bulma. He said pointing over to the blue haired girl sitting next to me and she smiled friendly and I smiled back not entirely sure what to really do. That is Goku over there. He said pointing over to the black haired man that had tried to stop me earlier and I nodded at him. This is Gohan. He said turning to a black haired kid that sat next to me and reminded me very much of Goku. As if Krillin read my mind he smiled. He s Goku s son. I smiled at him and he smiled back. And then there is me and my name s Krillin. He said a large grin planted on his face. His eyes looking at me expectantly as if I should say something back. I felt my throat close around words. What should I say? I thought then looked them all over once again. Um hi? I said not really sure if that was the best reply. HI! Everyone said back at me in unison. I nearly fell over from the unexpected reply back, and ten times louder. I shook my head to clear away the surprise and looked at them all determined. Ok, so why am I here at Capsule Corp then? I asked. Goku looked at the group which looked back at him in turn and looked over at me. Well, we re not really sure how you got here. Goku replied. Gohan found you unconscious outside this morning, you were all beat up, and so we took you in and cleaned you up! He said cheerfully another goofy look on his face. I closed my eyes and rubbed my face with my hand trying to sort out what he was telling me. Well thanks for your hospitality and all, but I really have to get home. I said opening my eyes and looking at them. Bulma the blue haired woman looked at me and smiled. Where do you live? We ll give you a ride there. She said. I opened my mouth ready to speak but then I got tossed into a whole new world of thoughts. Why should I go back living with my aunt anyway? She was always so worried all the time and hardly permitted me any freedom. My parents were no longer living. Darren had left me. What was the point in returning anyway? "Um, I can't remember where I live. Maybe I got amnesia when I got knocked out or something." I say. It's hardly a believable story, but my eyes brighten when Goku throws me an understanding look. "Well, why don't you stay here at Capsule Corp, until you can remember where you live?" Goku said smiling. "It would be nice to have you, and it's definitely no trouble for us!" I sat there shocked. It was hard to believe that this was actually happening. Did they just seriously buy my story "Are you sure it's no trouble?" I asked, trying to hold back from sounding eager. Would they really let me stay here with them? "It s fine!" Bulma replied with a smile. "Just make yourself at home." I felt so overwhelmed. These people were willing to take me in even after I just threatened to walk out without a simple thank you? I took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. I d love to stay. I said feeling myself beam. Great! Krillin exclaimed just before he stopped himself from saying anything else. Uh there is one problem though. I could feel my heart sink a little. What is it? I ask starting to feel a bit nervous. Well, we don t have any vacant rooms. I m afraid you ll have to share a room with someone. I let out a large sigh of relief. I was expecting a much larger problem that. We d let you choose any room you want, Krillin continues. But there s only one room in Capsule Corp that has a double bed for you to share with somebody. I take a moment to glance at the people in front of me. It couldn t be that bad could it? Well, who s room is that? I inquire. Krillin glances at Goku and Goku looks over at me. That s Vegeta s room, Greydi. I cocked my head to the side a little confused. I scrambled my brain trying to figure out if I missed someone s name but I didn t. Vegeta? I asked hoping someone would point him out to me. When no one did I looked up at Goku. Who s Vegeta?
