Hello, and welcome to chapter 3 of Time Can Only Tell! I have really
enjoyed writing this fic. I just want everyone to know something before I
start: Unlike when I first started the story, I will not be putting up a
chapter a day. I no longer have that great of motivation, especially
because I really hate typing! I'll try and do a chapter a week and I'll
still e-mail you when they are here!
This is going to be another one of those very odd chapters. However, I like to think that weird stories keep people coming back for more. It's nice to read something new and different, is it not? Ok, well, on to the chapter! Happy reading!
Disclaimer: I still do not own Dragon Ball Z, in case you're wondering.

Chapter 3: 'Buu's Dolly'
The clouds were still rolling into the valley where everyone resided. It looked like a storm was brewing. It wouldn't be long now.
It was amazingly dark in the valley, as if it were nightfall instead of the middle of the day. A cool breeze blew, slightly chilling the people of the valley.
The woman noticed that everyone was staring at her. She quickly pulled up her dark sunglasses, placing them over her eyes once again. The men then regained control of their minds, as usual. She was quite surprised to find out that the curse had affected the children as well, who couldn't be more than eight years of age.
*Damn it! I thought that killing Babidi would rid me of this stupid curse! Go ahead and laugh at me in hell Bibidi. I will find a way to break the spell, even if it kills me!*
*~*~*~*~*
She suddenly looked over at Gohan and simply stated in her mind voice that was there, yet it wasn't there, "You are free."
Gohan, suddenly regaining control over himself, fell forward in surprise. He quickly picked himself up off of the ground and glared at her.
"WHO ARE YOU AND JUST WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!?" , he screamed with rage. His cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. How dare she control him like that?!? Could she be a worse threat than Majin Buu himself?
She did not answer. She merely stood still like a statue, staring at him through those sunglasses. It was very creepy and it freaked Gohan out.
*Why does she even wear those sunglasses? The sun's not even out!*
Gohan couldn't help but wonder if she could even see with those on. It was quite dark in the valley due to the weather, so how could she see out of them?
Why wasn't she answering him? Gohan's patience was quickly wearing thin.
"Damn it, answer me!" , he screamed in frustration. His eyes were now dangerously switching back and forth from aqua green to ebony black. His anger was dangerously increasing.
Still no words came from her mouth. Her body didn't move an inch, aside from her silvery hair that lightly blew with the rises and falls of the wind.
Gohan was at a loss of what to do. What was wrong with this odd and spooky lady? Was she eccentric?
However, she now seemed to come back to life. She slowly turned to face Majin Buu.
It felt like time was slowing down. Minutes seemed more like hours. Hours like days. As the time passed, Gohan, and everyone else for that matter, waited for the answer to come.
And it came.
It was said very slowly, in a soft whispery voice that could make the devil shiver in fear. Her odd accent made her sound quite scary.
"I do not take sides. I only do what I feel is right."
With that said, her attention obviously went back to Majin Buu, who was looking at her awkwardly.
*~*~*~*~*
*Pretty girl look familiar, yes, yes*, Majin Buu thought as he gazed at the woman who stood about 25 feet away from him.
*Buu seen this girl before, but where?*
Buu was stumped. He stared at the woman while searching his memory fro any traces of her.
*~*~*~*~*
*Universe damn it! I haven't got the power to defeat Majin Buu!*
She had finished measuring up his power level and came to this horrible conclusion. He was too much for her to handle, especially alone.
*What am I going to do?*
The wind chilled her body as she thought about this. What could she possibly do? She was supposed to be able to come here and avenge her father easily. She would rather die than push all of her pride aside and ask for help from these powerful Saiya-jin strangers. She wouldn't be able to live with that answer.
She was so deeply in though, that she almost jumped when Majin Buu suddenly started to walk towards her. Almost. Her silvery eyes filled with fear for a second, but then it was gone, hidden within the depths of her soul. She would stand her ground.
He stopped about one foot in front of her. She mentally shivered. It was horrible being this close to the thing that had killed her father so very long ago.
He was quite hideous too. He looked like a large pink blob. A large marshmallow man. She had never liked marshmallows very much anyway.
She stared up at him. The height difference was quite noticeable now. She felt very small, but had too much pride to run away. It did scare her though, how he was staring at her.
*Why is he looking at me like that?*
Suddenly, Majin Buu yanked her sunglasses right off of her head, nearly ripping off her ears in the process. He held them in his hand for just a second before they were crunched in his strong grasp. The dark glass shards dropped to the ground.
His gaze, however, never left her face. She now had a deer-caught-in- the-headlights look plastered upon her face as she stared right back at him. What was he going to do with her?
She could see the curiosity in his eyes as he looked deeply into hers.
*What is going through his mind right now?*
"Buu remember you!", he suddenly exclaimed with his odd excitement, "You Buu's dolly!!!"
Before she had any time to react to his weird statement, Buu had grabbed her up with one large hand and was whisking her around as if she weighed nothing.
It hurt immensely! His grip was like steal around her. Her bones felt like they might give out on her and break under the intense pressure.
Then she noticed something else. She couldn't breathe. His tight grasp was cutting off her oxygen supply.
*Damn it! I can't use my majik with my arms pulled back like this!*
She felt helpless. There was nothing that she could do! Tears of frustration and embarrassment welled up in her eyes. She hated feeling helpless!
"Dolly, dolly, dolly!!! Buu love his dolly!!!"
Suddenly she was getting this odd sense of déjà vu. Had he done this to her before, perhaps during his first awakening? She wasn't too sure. She couldn't remember too much about her life at Kaioshin-kai. But now the memories were coming at the worst time possible!
She remembered. He had tossed her about like this one time before, calling her his 'little dolly'. Of course, she had been little then, unlike now.
*He must have good memory to be able to recognize me after 2,000 years.*
She brought back to reality when her neck was snapped back by the gravity force of his swinging. She was starting to feel light headed due to the lack of air. She could feel her consciousness slipping slowly away.
She vaguely heard people screaming at Buu to put her down. However, with the world spinning around her, she didn't really care.
Her ride then suddenly stopped.
"Dolly no fun anymore!"
Then she found herself pummeling through the air at a high speed.
BANG!!!!! She landed in a hard surface.
A cliff.
She heard her bones snap on impact, not being able to take the anymore damage. She felt rocks dig into her flesh, blood oozing from her new wounds.
It hurt. Very badly.
She tried to move, but pain shot through her body, making her shudder. She stayed put. Everything was so blurry and it was all spinning anyway. The world looked fuzzy through her eyes, so she shut them willingly.
However, she also felt somewhat relieved.
*...he put me down...*
With that thought in her head, everything went black as she sank into a state of unconsciousness.

So, did you like it? Please review. Thank you. I'll try and have the 4th chapter up a.s.a.p. Until the next time...
