You have started.
Happy now?
Everyone is.
Good. It is a lot of work, you should know.
I know. I am sorry.
For what?
For bringing you here and ruining your life.
I am actually happy. If you hadn't I would have died back on earth. But I would still like to know who you are.
I still can't tell you.
I could read your mind.
Go ahead and try. This type of bond doesn't work like that.
What kind of bond is it?
I don't think I want to tell you that either just yet.
Why not?!
...
The voice died away and the girl sighed. She was getting tired of the person talking in her head. She wanted to know who he was. A vision passed across her eyes and she saw a room filled with children learning. She smiled and closed her eyes to get some sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That morning I woke up feeling refreshed and joyed. I would be showing the King my plans for my first reform of the planet. Hopefully he would like them. I quickly put on a set of armor and grabbed all of my notes. I would have to read them all to the King, but that would be okay. Maybe he would start leaving me alone about changing things after this. Nah, probably not. They will get greedy. The palace was unusually quiet. All the people were probably in a different section of it. I smiled and stepped into the dinning room. Much to my luck the King, Lex, Nichol, and Tom were eating. "Kim! How ya feeling?" Tom asked.
"Okay. Your majesty. I have in my hands the plans for a better school system." He held out his hand expecting me to hand it to him. So I did. And his eyes skimed over the page.
"And how do you expect me to read this?"
"It is faster for me to do stuff in my native tounge. I will read it all to you when I have eaten." He sighed and handed me the book. I laughed a bit and grabbed one of the muffins on teh table. The kings thoughts were really amusing me. "You think way to loud, Your Majesty."
"Excuse me?"
"I can hear your thoughts without even trying."
"That means your skills are increasing."
"Well, now isn't that nice?"
"Yes, it is. Are you done, cause I am ready for you to read this to me." I shrugged and started reading through the notebook. He would nod and make comments through out the reading. I was getting rather annoyed with his stupid comments too, like, "Why would we need buildings?" and stuff like that. I was so happy when I was done. "Well, it sounds like you have a lot of experience in this kind of thing."
"Not really. I just based it all off of Earth's schooling system."
"Oh? Earth has something so advancded?"
"You would be really surprised. Well, the real problem now is actually putting this to work. We have to first set up the buildings and then train teachers. The teachers will have to be a mix of all levels for respect reasons."
"I think I understand."
"We will also need supplies and we will need people to encourage schooling."
"Whatever you need is at your hands. We want you to do what is best for the people."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I had better go down to a store and start picking out supplies."
Those next few weeks were planning of how everything was going to get done. I mostly remember all the sleep that I didn't get and how tired I always felt. I was always stressed and was yelling at everyone. Even my closest friends, but they understood and instantly forgave me. Without them I wouldn't have been able to do this task. Tom was good at keeping things on task. Nichol got a lot of support and Lex was good at gathering the teachers. We would all be training them in what we knew. They were smart enough to learn more, but what would really be good is if I could get some text books from Earth. Yeah, then I would have such an easy time teaching more advanced stuff and learning more myself. I had been away from home far too long now.
"Your Majesty, in order to give the best education as possible I need to go to Earth and gather things there."
"But everything there is destroyed."
"There is bound to be at least one book still in good shape."
"Books?"
"AH! Let me go there and bring some back." The King sighed and looked over to Corniss. Corniss was one of the King's personal advisors. He is the man that Vegeta trusts the most.
"I think you should let her your highness. She obviously has a plan behind this all," Corniss stated. Ah good old Corniss. You seem to be a better King than Vegeta himself. The King nodded and looked back over to me.
"Very well. I will have one ship take you all down to that old planet. Plus you may take Bardock and his crew with you as long as they aren't already busy."
"Thank you." He turned his back to me to deal with other affairs. I sneered and started back to the room where we humans usually hang out. Luckily they were all there. "Guess what everyone! I have a surprise!"
"What?"
"Nani?"
"What is it?"
"We are going back to Earth!" Everyone jumped out of their seats and bombareded me with questions.
"Forever?"
"What for?"
"Are we not the people from the prophecy?"
"We are going back to get supplies needed for the schools. Like maybe I could grab my computer too. Yeah, that would be sweet. But mostly we are on the hunt for books. I want to take back a whole library with us. We leave tomorrow on a ship like the one that took us here, so pack your bags! See ya at dawn! I gotta go find Bardock and them. They are coming too." I waved and ran out of the room as fast as I ran in. Behind me I could hear their chatter of going back. It would be an interesting experience. But first I would have to find Bardock.
There were only three likely places: the bar, his room, and the barracks. I would check the bar first cause it was closest. And he wasn't there. Which kind of worried me cause that is where he normally was. So I then moved onto the barracks. The place seemed kind of empty to me. I walked up to the man behind the desk. "Hi, have you seen Bardock around lately?"
"Yeah, he was here and then he left. Probably went down to the bar."
"How long ago was it that he was here?"
"Oh about a few hours ago."
"Okay. Thanks." That means he was probably in his room or causing trouble. And if he was causing trouble, who knew where he would be. I decided to try his room first. If he wasn't there then he would return to there. I laughed insanley for quite sometime and then I started from the barracks to his apartment. It was a really small place. It only had a kitchen, bathroom, and bed room. He said though that it was a good place. I could only go with his word. So I knocked on his door and waited, and waited and waited until he came to it only wearing his boxers. His eyes weren't even open and he had his hand on his cheek. His tail that was normally wrapped tightly around his waist was swaying swaying side to side slowly.
"What is it that you want? And if you are selling something you had better run."
"Hey Bardock! Did I wake you up? I am sorry if I did."
"Oh hey, don't worry bout it. What is it that you want?"
"Well we are going to Earth tomorrow and you and your crew are allowed to come too!"
"Yeah, what time?" His eyes were still closed.
"Dawn."
"Oh. Well then let me get some sleep. I will tell everyone to be there. Later."
"Bye!" I hugged him quickly and took off. Hold up! Where did that come from!? I stopped in my tracks and looked back, but his door was already shut and he was probably asleep on his bed. I smiled quickly and took off again to go get some rest myself.
As I enter the palace I was stopped by Corniss. "The king wanted me to inform you that I will be going as well."
"What for?"
"He is interested in your planet."
"There is nothing there. It has been purged!"
"He knows. But there are hopes that I can bring back things for him to study."
"Those would be books."
"Things that do not require your native tougue."
"Dude, I am going to raid Japan." Corniss looked at me blankly. Good, I shut him up. "Be at the ship at dawn."
"Very well. And is Bardock and his crew going as well?"
"Yes."
"Very good. I shall inform the king instantly."
"Whatever." I decided to run the rest of the way. I had a lot of energy to spare. Prehapes I could make a list or something. But then my thoughts would go back to Bardock. What made me hug him before. The closest I had ever gotten to hugging him was when he first captured me and that was holding on for dear life. I just hugged him! HUGGED! Does anyone else see this as, weird? I sighed and opened my door. There was one message on my answering machine so I pushed the play button.
"Hey Kim, its me, Bardock. Just wanted to let you know that everyone else is going too. Luv ya, bye." Hold on a sec. Am I hearing things? I pushe the play button again. "Hey Kim, its me, Bardock. Just wanted to let you know that everyone else is going too. Luv ya, bye." I am pretty sure I heard the words "Luv ya" in there, but I can't be too sure. I played the message one more time and listened closely. I think that someone might be handing me drugs. I pulled open the connection between my computer and Nichol's computer and IMed her using my microphone, or the Saiya-jin equivlent.
"Hey X (Nichol is also Xnightshade17), ya there?"
"Yeah, wassup?"
"Listen to this." I reached over and turned on my answering machine. "Hey Kim, its me, Bardock. Just wanted to let you know that everyone else is going too. Luv ya, bye."
"Yeah, so?"
"DUDE! He said 'Luv ya'! Doesn't that mean anything?"
"It means he loves you," she replied like it was a normal thing.
"DUDE! Doesn't that seem strange to you?!"
"Not really. You two have been flirting for so long. We were all starting to wonder when you would get together."
"But we aren't together. He just said luv ya!"
"Well what do you call your status with him then."
"It is! Er...it is...um...damn it."
"My point is found. I gotta go and get some rest. Later."
"Bye." I turned off my computer and looked over to the clock. It was starting to get late so I might as well go to bed.
