So, we are going back to see your home world again. I wonder how things are going there?

Okay, I have narrowed it down. You are one of the guys in Bardock's crew.

Oh? How did you figure that out?

Duh! You keep refering to like having been to Earth and stuff. It is pretty easy to figure out.

But who am I?

From the sound of it you sound like Bardock. Only he speaks like that and askes such questions.

...

BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM RIGHT! Like usual.

I didn't say you were right!

But you didn't say I was wrong either. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Whatever.

Come on. Tell me you are Bardock.

...

The voice died away and the girl smirked. Finally she was making some progress. A vision of people gathering themselves together passed over her quickly wearing her out. She must be tired.

~*~*~*~

At dawn the group was all standing outside of the ship I was in. I had gotten up extra early to make some last minute preperations. I smiled and opened the door. "Hey everyone! Welcome to the star ship Enterprise." Unfortunantly only my friends from Earth got the joke. The ship really did look like something out of Star Trek and that is what was so funny. Bardock and his crew just kind of shrugged and got on. Corniss looked very confused but soon followed. Everyone was carrying a duffle bag filled with different things. I lead them through the ship. "These are the storage centers for all the stuff we are bringing back. We can't bring back any agricutural stuff because it will destroy the enviorment. This hall is the one with all our rooms. Your name is on your door. And if you make a right that will take you to the living room and kitchen. Keep going left and you will reach the bridge. That is about it. You are dismissed." Oh! I love being the captian already! I picked up my duffle bag that I had left in the hall and opened the door to my room. It wasn't anything fancy. It was just a bed, closet, and desk. My computer was sitting on my desk. I have and will always be a computer junkie. I put the bag down in the closet and turned on the computer. It was a way for me to keep in touch with the people on Vegeta sei. Not like I had any real friends there. All of them were pretty much on this ship.

"Hey Kim! Get that thing fixed yet?" Bardock called as I entered the kitchen. He was sitting at a table with Toma. I waved and opened the fridge pulling out whatever looked good. I had been working the last week on the navagation system trying to fix it. It was defective to start with and then someone (Bardock) had to go and play with it. So after he broke it I was left to fix it. Unfortunantly we are now a week off course. So a trip that was only exposed to take a week to get to will now take an extra week. As I made myself my sandwhich I could feel Bardock's eyes on me. I knew that he felt bad about what he had done and I never yelled at him either, but he still felt guilty. Still, having his eyes on me made me nervous. I looked back to them and Bardock quickly looked away. I then looked over to Toma for some answers. He just winked and stood up.

"Listen guys, I have to get some stuff done, so I will see you later." I waved and put the last peice of bread on my sandwich.

"See ya Toma," Bardock replied. Toma left the room and I sat down in his seat next to Bardock. There was this an akward silence between us for a moment. Things had changed so much since Bardock said he loved me. It is funny how a single sentence could change everything. I could tell he was uncomftorable, but he made no motion to leave. "So, did you get it fixed?"

"Yes. It wasn't hard."

"I'm sorry for breaking it."

"Don't worry about it. Just be glad you have my knowledge on board." I laughed trying to lighten the situation, but he was still sitting there in guilt. I then sighed and stuffed the rest of my sandwich into my mouth. He was far too quiet and it was starting to bother me a little bit. Since he wasn't talking I layed my head on his shoulder and shut my eyes. It had been a few hours since I had gotten any sleep. Maybe even a day...

When I woke up I was laying in my bed. At first I couldn't remember how I got here, but then it hit me that I didn't get here on my own, but that Bardock must have carried me in. There was a small note on the dresser and I picked it up.

Hey Kim, (Bardock isn't that great when it comes to social things)

I just wanted to say sorry for breaking that thing.
And if you are wondering how you got here, I carried you in.
Well, um....I really don't know what to say so Bye.

Yep, Bardock has never really been all that good when it comes to letters and such. I folded it back up and put it back on the dresser. A knock came from my door and I opened it. It was Tom. "Kim, I just wanted to tell you that this ship has been like stalking us and stuff." I nodded.

"Let me get dressed and I will meet you on the bridge." I shut the door just as Tom turned to leave. I then walked over to my closet and pulled out a tank top and a pair of cotton pants. I really didn't care at this moment about looking official. I quickly put them on and started to the bridge. Corniss was waiting in the hall.

"You are representing the Saiya-jin people looking like that?!"

"You got a problem with it? Lets go. Do you know who might be stalking our ship?"

"I won't know until I see their ship."

"Good. You can help me when we reach them. You must remember that I don't know much about this universe."

"Why don't you use your psychic powers more often."

"Cause on Earth that was weird and odd. I prefer to live an Earth based life."

"I don't understand you at all."

"Don't even bother to try. You are much to formal to understand." I opened the door to the bridge and stepped into the room. I swear that we are on the Enterprise. The set up was basically the same. "Hey, did you ever get radio signals from Earth?"

"Yes. We saw many things. Including these shows about space. There was one with this crew and a ship like this. We designed this ship in honor of those pictures. We were quite disapointed though when we found out that Earth did not have such skills or technology." I just laughed and sat down in the captains chair. All of the crew was filling in ready to deal with this ship.

"Corniss, what type of ship is that?"

"I don't know."

"I thought you said you would?"

"I am afraid that my knowledge of ships doesn't go that far." I sighed.

"Does anyone know what kind of alien ship that is?!" Everyone shook their heads no just as Bardock and his crew piled in. "Bardock, Celipa, Toma, Panboukin, Totepo? Do any of you know what kind of ship that is?" I pointed to the screen.

"Oh yeah. It is a Namek's ship," Celipa stated.

"Thank you. Figures any of the guys don't know. Open a conversation with them." The screen turned from space and a ship to a green man with several other green men behind them. "Hello, this is the star ship Enterprise. I am the captain Kim. What is it that we can do for you?"

"You do realize that you have broken the Boundary treaty set up by the federation. You are in Namekin territory."

"I am afraid that I am new to such surroundings and laws. You see I am from the planet Earth and I was kidnapped and taken to the Saiya-jin people to fufill one of their prophecys. We are on our way back to Earth to gather books to study from." The Nameks looked at each other and huddled into a conversation. The lead one turned back to me.

"You are sure you are the girl in the Saiya-jin's prophecy?"

"I have no idea." He turned back to his followers and they started talking again.

"We will let you go. Try not to break the laws again, but since you don't really know I guess we cannot convict you. Just don't let it happen again."

"Thank you."

"We will escort you out of Namekin territory and onto a quicker path to Earth."

"That would be wonderful. Thank you very much." I stood up and bowed and they bowed back. I then sat back down and told my piolet to follow all their instructions. We were soon out of Namekin territory and on a faster path to Earth. I pushed myself off my chair. "I think you can all hand this on your own. Now I really need some sleep. I will be in my quarters." No one said anything to me so I followed through with my plan. Someone though followed me out of the bridge. I just ignored and following foot steps and opened the door to my room. But instead of going in I turned around to see who it was. Much too my nonsurprise it was Bardock. "What is it?"

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"The Nameks think you are cool. They HATE us Saiya-jins."

"I am not a Saiya-jin. I am human."

"I think you are."

"Well let me tell you I am not! I am in no way like a Saiya-jin." I was about to get some rest when he grabbed onto my arm.

"Kim, listen to me. You are just as much Saiya-jin as you are human."

"Let go of me! I am in no mood for this."

"Just listen!"

"FINE!"

"You speak Saiyango. You act like a Saiya-jin. You dress like a Saiya-jin. You live with Saiya-jins. I think you are just as much Saiya-jin as you are Human."

"All of that is true. And yet I am not as strong as a Saiya-jin. And I dream everyday of going back to a normal life. I should be in college worrying about my GPA instead of the lives of thousands of people! I hate this life! I hate everything about it! I hate everyone in it! I just want to be normal again!" I slammed my fist into the wall cracking it.

"You don't mean that do you? You don't hate everyone, right?" I didn't say anything. I wasn't sure anymore. I had just let go of five years of pain and I didn't know what to say. I just stepped into my room slamming the door behind me and locking it. A tear slid down my face at the same time I fell to my knees.
