NO FLAMING WILL BE PERMITTED! IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FACT THAT I HAVE AN IMAGINATION THEN I WILL FLIP *&^% RIGHT BACK AT YOU -_-

DBZ and characters/species etc. are Akira Toriyama's
Miyuki (And later at least one more character maybe) are mine.

A year, as it turns out, is plenty enough time to get to know someone. Miyuki had spent the last year on a small island out in the middle of the ocean with her newfound friends. She'd trained with Kuririn, even learning how to seek out energy without the help of her scouter, and talked with Bulma, and avoided Roshi as often as she could. The one time he'd gotten near enough to her to touch her she'd sent him through the wall of Kame House, and had spent the next week fixing it, with the help of Kuririn of course. She was walking around upstairs one day when she heard loud noises coming from downstairs.

"I just talked to Goku! Get the dragon balls! It's time to wish him back!" she heard Roshi yell.

What? That means that Vegeta and Nappa are almost here she rushed down the stairs, pulling her hair back into a ponytail as she went and making sure her tail was disguised as a belt, even taking the time to make sure it had gone through the belt loops on the jean shorts she was wearing. It had been difficult, getting used to hiding her tail as a belt in any of the pairs of shorts or jeans she'd worn over the past year. She had been happy to find that she could fit into Bulma's old clothing, so she didn't have to go and try to find her own.

She adjusted her white tank top as she skidded into the main room of Master Roshi's house, "You just what?" she asked the martial arts master before she closed her eyes and looked away. The old man had obviously had this "conversation" while he was still in the bathroom, and he hadn't had the chance to make himself presentable again. His pants were down around his knees, but thank Kami he at least had time to pull his boxers up.

"I just talked to Goku," he repeated, "It's time to wish him back." he was beaming, Miyuki had heard a lot about Kakarot's adventures when he was a kid, training under Master Roshi, so she could tell that he was definitely excited about getting to see his old student again. She looked over at Kuririn and Bulma, who also had huge grins plastered on their faces. Miyuki smiled back at them, but then another thought crossed her mind and she frowned slightly.

"You guys realize that that also means the Saiyans are almost here, right?" their smiles didn't falter, slightly confusing the Saiyan woman.

"We'll be alright as long as we have Goku." Kuririn reassured her, he laughed at the skeptical look on her face, "Don't worry about it Yuki. It'll be fine." Yuki, that is the nickname that her new friends had given her over the past year. It had taken her some time to get used to her name being shortened, even if it was just two letters being knocked off of the beginning of her name. Bulma said that in one of the languages here on Earth 'Yuki' meant 'snow', which the three of them thought was appropriate for her, saying that her silver, almost white, hair had be the reasoning behind the nickname.

Miyuki gave Kuririn a half-hearted smile, she knew just how powerful Vegeta and Nappa were, "Well... Okay, if you say so Kuririn." she clapped her hands together enthusiastically, "Alright. Let's do this." iLet's get my brother back./i she added mentally.

Seeing Kuririn summon the Dragon, Shenron they'd called him, was something Miyuki'd never experienced before. The sky had gone completely black and she couldn't see anything around her other than the flashing of the dragon balls. Shenron himself was an intimidating sight, but she could tell when he talked that he was only an intimidating isight/i. Kuririn wished for him to bring Goku back to life and Shenron said it was done. iIs that it?i Miyuki thought, /iThat seems rather... anticlimactic I guess. For lack of a better word, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I don't think that was it.../i Shenron told them, until next time, and he was gone. So were the dragon balls.

"So. What'd ya think?" Kuririn asked, smiling as he saw the look of confused awe on Miyuki's face, "Different, wasn't it?"

"Uh. To say the least, yes, yes it was." Miyuki replied, regaining her composure. Now to just wait until Kakarot shows up. she thought. She gulped, Or Vegeta and Nappa. Whoever comes first.
