"Bulma, are you done yet ?"
17 year-old ChiChi looked at the 21 year-old scientist imapatiently.
"Be patient, Chi," Bulma said, brushing a strand of blue hair from her eyes, "I've never built a spaceship before! I'm only doing this because you're my friend." She smiled. "Done. Would you like me to give you the grand tour?"
ChiChi laughed. "Goodie!"
Bulma pushed a button on the controller, and the door opened. "Okay, ChiChi," she said, stepping inside, "This is the main room. It has most of the control panals, and the radip to contact me. Theres also a little kitchen nook in there. The next room is the bedroom. A twin bed, a chest for your clothes, small closet for stuff you need to hang up, a nightsand, and a lamp. Then theres a small bathroom, with a toilet, sink, and a little shower. The last room is this lsmall room here. It has a little TV, a stereo, and a bookshelf. Well, thats it! Where you will be spending the next two years! Theres enough food and water to last three."
ChiChi nodded. "Thank you, Bulma. You don't realize how much this means to me."
Bulma hopped out of the ship. "Yeah...but ChiChi? Why do you want to do this?"
ChiChi shrugged. "I want to get out. Explore the universe. I mean, I lived a pretty sheltered life, alone with my dad. I know there is other life out there, and I want to find it."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
ChiChi looked down at the planet she had just left. Earth. She was all alone now, and would be for two years.
"But just look at the stars..." she whispered. She gazed out the window. It was so beautiful. ChiChi wondered why she wasn't scared. She had expected to be terrified. But she wasn't at all. Just the oppisite, in fact. She was entranced with this new world.
She picked a book off the shelf. "A Midsummer Night's Dream..."
For the next few months she sat around the spaceship, reading and looking at the stars. It had hit her one day that, after spending so many months in solitude, she hadn't spoken in months. She was reading a book of Sylvia Plath poetry (and looking strangely at the oven) when she heard a loud KUR-KLASH!
"What the-"
The whole ship jolted, and for a moment ChiChi saw her whole life flashed before her. *I'm going to die,* she thought. She fell out of her chair, and she felt the ship zooming toward the closest planet at top speed. It crashed on the rough terrain, and burst into flames. She screamed, and ran to her room. She grabbed her suitcase, and started to run to the front door. Flames. She turned around, busted a window, and jumped out. "Damn!" she said, looking at the inferno, "That sucks!" She looked around. "Where the hell am I...?"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"
ChiChi feelt herself being knocked down, and being hit repeatedly.
"You're not gonna hurt my fam-ly, you big ugly Frieza-follower!"
ChiChi picked up the kid on top of her, and stood up. Dhe held the fiesty little girl by the colloar. She looked to be about 5 or 6, and she had wild black hair. A tail was curled around her ragged brown dress, and her face was dirty.
"Lemme go! I said LEMME GO! If you don't stop it my Daddy's gonna come and kill you! He's a warrior, you know! You better lemme go!"
ChiChi placed the kid on the ground. "What's your name, kid?"
No answer from the little girl with crossed arms and a scowl.
ChiChi bent over and looked in her eyes. "I'm not here to hurt you." She offered her hand. "I'm ChiChi."
After a moment of hesitation, the girl shook her hand. "Mikayla. Everyone calls me Mikki." She put her hands in her pockets. "So if you're not here to hurt usm why are you here?"
"My ship crashed," ChiChi said, pointing to the bonfire a few feet away, "Thats it. Plain and simple." She laughed.
Mikki took her hand. "Come. Come on, I'll take you to my house. My mommy's mking dinner, and you can have some."
"Thanks," ChiChi said, "But I forgot to ask, whats the name of this planet?"
"Its called Vegeta-sei."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"That meal was delicious, Saira," ChiChi said to Mikki's mother.
The young woman smiled. "Thank you, ChiChi. I'm trying."
As ChiChi watched Saira clean up, she realized the woman, the girl couldn't be much older than her. "Saira?" she asked.
"Yes?"
"How old are you?"
Saira put a dish in the cabinet. "I just turned 19." She sighed, and ran her hand through her hair. "I married at 13. Thats not unusual among Saiayjins. Mikki was born shortly after my 14th birthday. Then my son was born a year later, but he died three days after he was born." She sighed. "My husband was is dead, too. He was a revolutionist. There was a revolt three years ago. Against Frieza and his men. He was killed."
She smiled a ChiChi. "Mikki and I don't get many visitors. Its usually just her and me." She handed her a plate to dry. "I'll take you into town tommorrow. Its 3 hours away, the closest city. A place called Kallaphone City. Its the capital. Until then, you can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch."
ChiChi nodded. "Thank you. So, tell me more about this Frieza..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Thank you for the clothes, Saira. I promise to give them back."
Saira laughed. "The least I could do before we go into the city. Your clothes aren't really...the style here."
ChiChi spun around in front of the mirror. She wore baggy black pants and an orane tank top, and her hair was pulled up in a black bun.
"Mikki!" Saira shouted, "Are you ready?"
Mikki ran into the living room. She wore a clean, pressed blue dress. "Its my good dress!" Mikki piped, smiling at ChiChi.
"Okay," Saira said, "We'd better get walking. It takes about 3 hours."
ChiChi stared at her. "W-what?! Saira, did you just say walk?"
Saira nodded. "Of course. How else would we get to Kallaphone City?"
ChiChi opened her purse. *Good,* she thought, *They're still in here.*
"Emergancy capsules!" she declared proudly.
Siara stared at them. "Why, what do those do?"
"I'll show you," ChiChi said, pressing the button, and throwing the capsule.
POOF! There sat a cherry red air car.
"Wow..." Mikki said, cautiously touching it, "A-amazing..."
"Hop in," ChiChi said, sitting behind the wheel, "It won't take near as long."
She was right. Within an hour they were standing in the middle of the huge city. "Thanks alot, Saira, Mikki," ChiChi said, recapsulizing her aircar. "For feeding me and letting me stay at your house."
Saira nodded. "It was nothiing. But don't expect most Saiyajins to be so nice." ChiChi walked through the city, and took a deep breath. She liked this place. It had something Earth never had. She had never fit in on Earth. Earth was too stuffy. Too many rules and regulations.
"Watch where you're walking!"
ChiChi fellon the ground. She had bumped into a tall, tanned woman with short,unruly black hair. The woman spit on her. "Peasant! I should have you killed."
ChiChi grimaced, and wiped away the spit. "Hey, that wasn't nice..."
The woman kicked her. "Nice?! Of course not! Guards!"
That was all ChiChi remembered before she was knocked out.
