~~hello readers! your reviews have quite literally given me life, thank you! out of curiosity has anyone been watching Yuri on ICE? if not it's fucking good and I've been so obsessed with it lately! anyway enjoy the chapter and leave a review please :)—LA~~

Time stood still for a moment…How was I to go about this? Would anyone recognize me from the footage? What if Damien recognized me…Should I be worried?

"I guess I could always play dumb…" I thought out loud. Goku and I were now criss crossed seated across from each other on my bed. We were taking a moment to think about the situation at hand.

"I don't really see what the issue is here Luna? Why not just tell the truth?" Goku yawned with his hands behind his head.

"Haha because it would be the equivalent to asking to be thrown into the looney bin."

"Well what if I could prove that I was from another world? Or I could demonstrate my instant transmission to the public!"

"Goku we are not about break that sort of news to the world! If my world was were meant to know about the existence of other universes then we'd know already. I say I pretend to have no memory of the occurrence and this will just end up being one of those unsolved mysteries. Like the capturing of alien footage or something." I retorted. The stress of the predicament was starting to get to me. I hated attention, I hoped to God no one would recognize it was me that disappeared with Goku in the footage.

"Alright sounds like a plan!" He flashed me a smile and my heart skipped a beat. I checked the time from my charging phone, 4:15 a.m…Fuck I didn't have much time left with Goku until I had to go get Damien. I hadn't seen him in over a week and our time was about to be cut short…I had to make the best out of the time that was left.

"Hey Luna do you mind if a take a little nap? I've been running between dimensions so much I'm kind of exhausted." He yawned as he took it upon himself to remove his shoes and get under the covers. Well so much for making the best out of the time we had left together…It was naive of me to even consider that Goku missed me at all. I was just another acquaintance of his afterall.

"Uh yeah go ahead. I have to pick up Damien from work at 6 so I'll wake you before then."

"Are you two still together?" He asked sternly, I wish I could've seen the expression he had on his face but he was facing the wall on his side.

"Well, we aren't dating but we are still living together. We really have no choice until our lease is up, plus it's not like either of us could afford to live on our own right now." I wondered why he had asked. I thought I had told him about why I was stuck here with Damien. I laid down on the opposite side of the bed over the covers facing his back.

"It isn't good for you to stay here Luna…you should be living life the way you want to. When I think about you being here with him I can't help but feel like you're a prisoner…" He trailed off his sentence. I've made this analogy before, it was an accurate one. I was prepared to tolerate Damien's presence until the end of the lease because I had to..I had accepted it already.

"It can't be helped. I just have to deal with it—"

"Don't you want to be happy Luna?" He turned over to face me, his expression was pensive, my chest suddenly felt tight. I had no words. I simply nodded. Of course I wanted to be happy but there was nothing more to say. I was stuck. I was a prisoner. Goku could physically stop a bullet to save me but those abilities couldn't save me from the life I was living…I shrugged at him.

"All I can do is wait and take whatever life throws at me. I can't wait for the day that I put all of this bullshit behind me. I kind of feel like my life has been on hold for so long…and when I'm finally free of Damien I'll also be free to live." I fumbled with my fingers, avoiding eye contact. I had forgotten how easy it was talking with Goku. I wanted to be laying like this forever, just talking to him. I met his eyes again, his stern expression hadn't left his face. I longed to hold his perfectly sculptured face in my hands, I wonder what his lips feel like…

"If you weren't living with him your life wouldn't have been in danger today…" His words took me by surprise, he was looking away now seemingly annoyed.

"Goku, my life is in danger every time I step out that front door. That's just the way it works here, our lives are constantly at risk but we can't let that fear hold us back from living. What happened at that gas station would've happened to me another day in another sort of way, there's no way of helping it."

"What kind of world is this? How terrible…"

I shrugged at him again. My exhaustion was beginning to kick in, good think I was off tomorrow. I wanted so badly to just fall asleep here with Goku without a single thing to worry about.

"Luna, I think you should come to my world." I literally felt like I had just been struck. What the fuck did he just say? I hadn't fallen asleep yet right..?

"What do you mean.." was all I managed to squeak out. I held my hands closely to my chest so he wouldn't notice that I had begun to shake a bit.

"Leave this world and come live in mine! I can bring you back here to visit whenever you want. The world I live in is much safer, mainly because I'm there…I could even get you a job working for Bulma! Remember I told you about her?" I could hardly keep up with him. Was he really offering to take me away from here…at long last…had a loophole just appeared? Am I capable of making this kind of decision for myself? I mean how many people received an opportunity as insane as this?! I'd be crazy not to go…right?

"Uh yeah. Married to Vegeta, mother of Trunks, co-owner of Capsule Corp…this is fucking insane though Goku. Do you realize what you're asking of me? I mean…I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea…" His giant hand was now on my head, messing up my hair.

"Hahaha you're such a worry wart Luna! Of course you'll have time to think about it. I just want you to know that there's a way out. If you ever feel like things are becoming too overwhelming and you cant wait anymore, you have me. Ok?" He was grinning at me, tangling my hair in his fingers. He was so comforting…I could drift off right now, just like this. A huge weight had been lifted. There was a way out. I could leave. I could leave all of this behind finally. I could start fresh somewhere else. I'll get to experience what no other human from my world has experienced and travel to another world. And it was all thanks to this superhero that crashed landed in front of my apartment…and saved my life…My eyelids were becoming so heavy..

"You're my hero Goku…" I mumbled, my eyes were already shut at this point. His hand had remained on my head, I could feel myself slipping…And I was out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NEW POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My goodness this has become very exciting to watch! I'm sure you weren't expecting this much to come out of sending Goku to her universe, right Lord Beerus?" Whis squealed into the orb of his scepter.

"I have to admit it but no I didn't actually…I'm very curious about Luna now. Haven't you noticed anything strange about her?" Beerus scratched his head in deep thought .

"Strange? You mean in what's lacking?" Whis responded.

"Yes Whis you're absolutely right. Part of my original plan involved Goku noticing right away but he doesn't have the slightest clue."

"Should we interfere?"

"No…things will progress once he brings her to his world. We'll sit back and wait until the time is right."

"To be quite honest Lord Beerus I'm very anxious to see how this all turns out!" Whis grinned holding his hand to his mouth.

"As am I Whis, however the best is yet to come!"
