Chapter 2

The journey to the East District was quite an unusual one as detailed by Professor McGonagall's letter. Ginny first had to take a portkey from her house to where the boarder crossing was located, from there she was to receive transportation to Son Gohan's house, McGonagall had assumed in her note that it would be another portkey.

A few days ago Ginny had sent an owl with the acceptance letter. She had calculated how long she thought the owl would take to get from London to East District hoping that the owl would arrive later that night after the meeting took place. Unfortunately for Ginny, the particular owl she had chosen was quite the strong flier.

The first portkey, an old belt, was scheduled to leave at precisely 3:45. After saying goodbye to her husband and kids, who assumingly thought she was just off doing some of her normal work and meetings, Ginny proceeded to the family's backyard five minutes before she was scheduled to depart. Ginny checked that her brown satchel was clasped as well as her cloak. She wasn't sure what she should expect from her impending destination, her satchel contained some emergency supplies in case something in her plan went awry.

As the departure time came, Ginny grasped onto the belt, and felt the familiar tug at her belly button. Closing her eyes as old habit to shake the nauseous feeling of travel by portkey, she didn't open them until she felt her feet hit the ground.

The first thing Ginny saw when she opened her eyes was blue sky dotted with a few white clouds. Looking down she saw that she was standing on white tiles, a small building stood in the middle surrounded by nicely manicured gardens and trees. Ginny was most shocked by the sight of the bright white tile suddenly ending and being replaced by the same bright blue sky. Ginny deduced that would mean she was on a platform in the sky. She wasn't sure what she was exactly expecting from East District Check-In, but she would never have come up with this.

Still peering around, Ginny failed to notice two men approach her from behind. "Good afternoon, you must be Ginny Potter." Ginny was startled as she turned to the voice. It was a tall man with short spiky black hair and a scar running across his cheek. Next to him stood a short bald man. The tall man was the one who must have spoken because she recognized his voice as he continued.

"Sorry to startle you ma'am, my name's Yamcha, this is Krillin." The man gestured to the shorter man on his right. "And we're your welcoming committee to East District!" Yamcha smiled, and Krillin began to laugh at the odd face the woman they just met made.

"Oh, thank you, nice to meet you too." Ginny paused, her tongue lingering on a question she dearly wanted to ask, she gave in. "Um where are we?"

"Oh this is the Lookout!" Supplied the shorter man named Krillin. "But we hear you are on a bit of a time crunch, so unfortunately we can't really show you around." Ginny saw the man fumble with something in his pants pocket, finally pulling out a cracked pocket watch. "We're supposed to give you this, and make sure you hold onto it." Ginny recognized that the watch must be another portkey.

"Maybe next time you can see more of the Lookout, it really is a pretty neat place." Krillin, then proceeded to hand Ginny the watch. After the man let go, Ginny could feel the familiar tug once again at her belly button. This would be bringing her to her next destination, Son Gohan. Suddenly Ginny disappeared and the two men turned to one another.

"Boy, that's as weird as when Goku uses Instant Transmission." Yamcha said, Krillin nodding his head in agreement as they both stared at the place the strange woman stood seconds before. A small green face peered out from behind a column nearest to them.

"Thanks for helping out you guys. Mr. Popo thought it'd be best if she saw humans. He said that's what Kami used to do with these kinds of travelers. I really appreciate it!" Dende, the small Namekian guardian, smiled at the two men.

"Sure thing little guy, guess if that's all, we'll head back home then." Krillin said as he and Yamcha took off into the sky to head back down to earth.

Before splitting off and going their separate ways, Yamcha couldn't help but ask his friend, "What do you think that was about Krillin?"

"I really don't know, maybe we'll find out someday. I just hope it isn't anything bad, I've already had my quota of excitement for the year. Besides I've got a date with Eighteen tonight, that should be exciting enough." Krillin told his friend with a blush.

"You dog!" Yamcha exclaimed while giving Krillin a small punch on the shoulder turning the younger man an even brighter shade of red. "Well I certainly don't want to make you late for your date. I'll see you later then." Yamcha grinned at his friend's embarrassment and turned to fly east. Krillin turned west to get back to Kame House to get ready for his big date as well as let his face cool down.

Back on the Lookout the small guardian of earth questioned Mr. Popo. "Do you think I made the right decision Mr. Popo?"

"Yes I do Dende. I do think that young Gohan will benefit greatly from this opportunity. I believe your influence will help protect the fate of the world, and that is something we should all be glad of."

"That's how I feel as well Mr. Popo. Now we'll just have to see if his mother lets him go."

Mr. Popo and the young guardian shared a laugh and retreated back inside their home, eager to observe the interaction between the Witch and Son Chi Chi.
