4. The home planet

The night passed soon enough. And with dawn the men carried the sleeping girls to two round objects. Seated themselves inside and closed them. After programming their destination. A 2-month trip, which they would handle by stasis sleep. They also programmed into the computer a slow gravity increase to their normal gravity in case the girls couldn't cope with theirs. And as they found it stupid to first wake the couple before sleeping them in artificially and might having to cope with two hysterics they left them asleep.

The first thing both girls discovered when waking, was a dry hot wind. The second, they were being carried. Third, under a blazing sun. Fourth, they were VERY thirsty. Diana brave as usual peered up and closed her eyes. Nasty suns...SUNS? Squeaking open again she noted the reddish orange sky, and yep, two suns. Shaded by a shadow she glanced up. Jagaime glanced down smirking.

"Wakey-wakey!" he chided. "Shuddup, I need a cigarette..." He stopped and retrieved her smokes from his suit and handed it to her as she leaned sleep drunk against him. Some other Saiyan's laughed as they passed.

"Cute girlfriend!" One chided. "Finally chose between sexes eh?" another teased.

"AH SHUDDUP YOU FOOLS!" Jagaime yelled back. A female walked up to him. Small sturdy build and warring a smile.

"Hey little nephew!" she stated fond. "Hi Celipa. Finished a mission too?" she pointed coyly behind her where two of her team members dragged an unconscious Saiyan away from his pod.

"Yeah, and guess what. Bardock got banged up again." "Again? It won't be long before he's able to give the king a good fight!" the woman nodded agreeing. Then eyed Diana, who only just inhaled. In bliss she sighed.

"Is she on drugs of something? Or did you make her feel really good last night?" Celipa asked bemused. "I didn't do nothing, it's that tobacco." Celipa shrugged. "Shame. So, how's your barren love life ne?" "Still barren. YASAI WAIT UP." Yasai who was well away turned and only now noticed his absence. He stalked back and greeted Celipa happily.

"Eh, where's Bardock? Don't tell me...tank?" "Tank. So you're both carrying gals? Ain't cha gonna introduce me?" she sighed over acting. "Men, such dopes." Diana prodded a still sleeping Sakura.

"Wake up we'll be late for school!" she jerked up and still was held by Yasai who seemed proud of him-self. "WHAT? AH NO! Err...huh?" confused she eyed the others before nearly biting Yasai to be let down.

"Oh goody feisty!" Celipa grinned. "Oh, but most of it is directed at the other." Yasai explained. "Sisters?" Celipa asked as she matched faces.

"Yup." Diana mumbled. Inhaling again. "Born same day, me first though." "And you'll tell me till my death!" Sakura snarled, she had a morning grudge. Diana ignored her and turned to Celipa instead. Celipa loved the starting fight.

"My name is Diana, and yours?" "Celipa. Diana eh? Alien name, and your...?" she eyed Sakura. "Sakura."

"Alien too, say boys, why not stick to us Saiyan gals!?" "Because these two have a sense of humour." Yasai snickered. Celipa nudged Sakura aside before rubbing his toe in the sandy road with her boot heel. Smiling all the time while doing it.

"Celipa? Can I ask you something?" Diana asked as Sakura lay snickering on the ground. "Sure, shoot."

"Do they sell tobacco or cigarettes here by any chance?" "Sure at the alien shops."

"AH, I love you! Yasai? Pay up." Yasai who eyed his hurt toe glanced up. "Excuse you?" "PURSE! You found me in my night clothes only, MONEY." Celipa laughed beside a stunned Sakura. Diana yanked Yasai down by his armour and glared in his black eyes. "Give...me...MONEY." Jagaime laughed.

"You better do mate!" he chided. "FINE, you're a pushy broad!" he tapped on his suit to locate some before stalking to a mate of his and robbing him off. He presented the three coins, which Diana took, before stopping back on his already hurt toe.

"I'm NOT a broad, I'm a woman." Celipa hiccuped in glee as two other men walked over. "What happened this time Celipa? Should we get you to the Doc?" "No...no...nah." she managed barely. "Fine! These girls...funny!!! Love 'em! Now help me up...how's Bardock? Not dead yet?" "Nope. 12 hours in the tank and he's good as new. You got new friends?" Celipa nodded as she was hauled up. Then the men bend over to eye Yasai's blue toe.

"What happened?" "Celipa and Diana punishing me." Yasai muttered soar. "Diana?" Celipa pointed at the smug Diana who eyed the odd coins.

"Square coins? Weird, Sakura looky!" proud Diana crunched before Sakura who grabbed one and eyed the picture of the moon and ape thing. Turned it over and eyed the picture of a flame-hared bloke with a symbol above it.

"Ah, let me guess, king, president, person who leads you?" Sakura inquired as Diana mused about the things she could buy now. Better stock some just in case...soar Yasai saw the two she held drop in her bosom.

"Yup, that's king Vegeta, that coin is 300 years old already." Celipa told. "You see, our kings all look alike, and have the same name. Very handy."

"I can imagine, no hard names to remember eh?" Sakura snickered. A bit stupid the third new male eyed them. Huh? He was chubby and not too intelligent looking.

"Ah Tooma. Tora, I'm being rude. Diana, Sakura? Meet my guys. They're in my team. That's Tora, old friend. And Tooma here is the new kid on the block, after one of the old unfortunately killed him-self. The girls eyed her stunned.

"Killed himself?" Diana asked. "Yeah. He wasn't young anymore y' know, and well he tried to keep up with us, and when he gave up, he self destructed because the planet we we're at, had too weak people to do it for him." Celipa seemed a bit mournful about it.

"I'm sorry to hear that..." Sakura muttered. Celipa's mood lightened quickly despite this empathy. "It's okay, he wanted it." she stated. "Any one for some chow? I'm FAMISHED."

"Is it alright if I smoke? Where I come from it's nearly a witch hunt." Celipa laughed and waved it away. "SURE, every one does what he or she wants here. But I wouldn't do it in the throne room or...in the palace for that matter. Just in case."

In a group they strolled to a big building. Sakura eyed the architecture confused. "Pink?" Celipa eyed her. "What's wrong with pink?" Sakura eyed her then the sort of panty she wore...err... "Nothing...but pink for architecture is so..." Sakura struggled to find the safest words. "It's too feminine for a warrior race." Diana stated.

"Yeah, well, I didn't pick the colours." Celipa grumbled. Both teens eyed the people they passed amazed. Lizards like people with long white capes. A Humanoid with the same uniform whom nodded friendly at them. Sakura waved as Diana hung sobbing against her after spotting a pink headed squid face with yellow dots.

"Polka dots!" she giggled. "Polka!" suddenly Sakura found herself flung into a very stupid Polka dance. At first unwilling to co-operate she soon gave into to her pushy sister. Both laughed happily as they bowled into the squid face, grabbing his hands and yanking him along in their wild dance. Stunned most people stood watching them. On a nod of Diana both let go and he was flung against the biggest man either had seen. The bald headed giant bend, picked the guy up in the neck and lifted him up. He cowered before his face.

"My apologies Commander Nappa..." he whimpered. "Eh, shuddup bootlicker." he snarled, throwing him over his shoulder and never looking back to where and how he landed. Sakura eyed him amazed as Diana laughed again.

"Nice throw!" Diana complemented him. Humping he passed them as Diana humped back before laughing again. Celipa, Jagaime, Yasai, Tooma, and Tora sweat dropped as they bailed from the huge man's way. "Definitely dope..." Celipa muttered as they eyed the hysterically laughing Diana and the snickering Sakura. Diana possessed a very contagious laugh.

"The dots!" Diana cried. "The polka dots!" She managed barely. Sakura exploded in a fit as well as each sister clung to the other in glee. Then the huge male returned scowling down at the couple who rubbed their eyes from tears.

"And you two, do you have ID papers?" He growled. "SURE! I always save 'em in my nickers! Really wanna see?" Diana laughed as Sakura giggled. The big male turned a shade darker. Not amused?

"No mister I-do-not-know-your-name, we were found in our underwear only." Sakura helped, as Diana was breathless in glee.

"So your taken here by pods?" he inquired, Sakura clasped Diana's mouth to stop her from replying, by the ways she sobbed had to be funny again. Sakura knew however this guy didn't have a sense of humour. Behind them some snickered. Nappa glared at them warning, instantly it stopped. Again Diana found that hilarious.

"Yes sir. By those men. Yasai and Jagaime. Is that wrong then?" She asked calmly. Trying to suffocate her sister who couldn't stop laughing. Yasai eyed Diana warning, only made her giggle more.

"Not for you two it's not...ATTENTION!" Instantly all Saiyan's jumped into attention. Nappa walked to Yasai and Jagaime.

"Why didn't you bring these two to the sorting area?!" he asked angry. "Well...um..."

"OH sorting area? Wanna check me? I'm a girl!" Diana informed as Sakura stomped on her, straddling her and pushing her hands over Diana's mouth. Then smiling sheepish up at Nappa.

"We wanted to check them out with the Doc's first in case they were carrying bugs..." Yasai muttered. "WELL THIS AIN'T THE SICKBAY!" Nappa yelled as Diana zoomed muffled like a fly.

"Escort them NOW to the SORTING AREA. They will be checked THERE." "YES SIR!" Both exclaimed, ran to the girls, pried Sakura off Diana and ran with each over their shoulder out.

"PUT ME DOWN NOW!" Sakura yelled warning to Jagaime as Yasai had a sobbing in glee Diana.

"NOT UNTIL WE'RE AT THE SORTING PLACE." Jagaime growled back. Sakura inhaled as Yasai whimpered. A piercing, causing Saiyan bleeding...ear- shattering cry echoed for miles. Followed by laughter.

Half deaf after 4 more wails both were dropped in the midst of a sorrowful looking bunch. Diana who just calmed down a bit eyed the various alien faces. Yasai eyed down soar, as Sakura was red flushed with a soar throat. Yasai wondered if Jagaime even could hear...Damn what a voice.

Yasai looked at Diana who stood a bit rigid. "Say Yasai? How long will this junk last?" Yasai shrugged. "I haven't got a clue. Maybe days..." Diana frowned...shit... "Would yah be my hero and get me some additional cigarette packages?? I'll kill myself if I don't have 'em." Yasai did not even try to disagree with her idea, took the outstretched money and flew up. Many lines stood before several officials. Each with boxes and note- pads. Curious the two looked around. Weird, a modern slave-market? Funny...some looked very stupid, insects, lizards, humanoids...you name it, it was there. The girls were quickly pushed in a line and waited.

"This is frigging worse then waiting before the butchers..." Diana stated with a foul mood. She hated waiting. "NEXT." a man wailed. Fortunately only four people before them. Lucky them, Saiyan friends did help with a line-up.

"NOOOOOO, I AM NOT SICK....I AM HEALTHYYY....NOOOOO!!!!" Blast!! The two glanced to the left, a man was shot to kingdom come...funny...err...not.

"Did I see that right?" Diana stammered. Sakura blindly sought and found Diana's hand and clasped it tight. "I think I 'so' didn't want to know that...how can your people do that?" Sakura eyed Jagaime sorrowful.

He flinched a bit. He never gave it much thought. It was the way it always had been done. But because of the elimination the crowd was shaken and terrified. Jagaime didn't like the terror he found in Sakura's eyes, and Diana didn't even look at him, instead she eyed the ones before them and some on the left side. A man stood now whimpering before the official. Who seemed to scan him swiftly then gave thumbs up. He was shoved into a ship behind the official. The two guards flanking him waited for orders from him. Sakura glanced at the official. A greying male with human features. He did his job mechanical. Yelping Sakura drew the attention of Diana. Before them an elderly hostage was led to the side and without ceremony blasted. Both girls clung to the other in fright.

Slowly they shuffled on. Diana eyed the shooter who now flanked the official again. He glanced straight before him. Didn't he have a soul? Sakura glanced up at him as well. Now with two peering terrified at him, he glanced briefly at them. And actually had for a nano-second a softer glance before glancing like a statue before him. Across the square someone was shot again. On the opposite side three. The girls whimpered a bit. Where had they arrived? In hell? Before them a shivering elderly man, but Sakura had hopes for him. He wasn't THAT old. About their fathers age. They scuffled on.

"Age." they overheard. "52."

"Occupation?" "Farmer..."

"Education." "None..." The official nodded to the statue. Sakura yelped and yanked the elderly man down and fortunately out of the guy's aim. Then self-conscious she peered up at the towering guard. Oh shit.... Diana cried out and bolted over and crashed beside her in the sand.

"NO DON'T YOU DIE WITHOUT ME!" Diana yelled, clamping her sister while the elderly man was pinned in between. He seemed flushed and ogled their chests pressing against him.

"Rescued by angels?" he stammered as two different hair colours spilled over him. The official eyed them calmly. A Saiyan as well, and not too happy with his job by the look of it.

"How touching...GUARD." Two walked over as Jagaime eyed them stunned. He never knew it was done like this... Terrified that they were splitting them up Diana and Sakura allowed the man to be pried lose before clamping the other in a vice grip. Bones would have to be dislodged to get them lose. Amazed the guards eyed the couple before the official barked them to the elderly man. Sakura opened her eyes and cried frustrated. Diana terrified started crying too.

Yasai ran over. With slumped shoulders Jagaime eyed him as Yasai eyed the confusing scene. The girls clung together as one being, an elderly man who wailed for his angels and two guards who blasted him. So?

"You know...I sometimes hate being a Saiyan?" Jagaime muttered. "Because?" Jagaime waved at the dramatic scene. "Because the two 'angels' tried to rescue that man. Actually Sakura tried, then Diana lost in and now they sit like that."

"Damnit, lets see...Diana? I have your cigarettes?" Diana glanced up, then at Sakura and refused to budge. Patiently he walked over and put the package on her dress as the guards eyed the couple.

"She's a smoker, helps her calm down." Yasai explained. Yet that wasn't what the guard's confused so much. They had ripped families apart before. But to their knowing, humanoids didn't spring from a canine-humanoid without tails. Also, they really were glued to the other...

"NEXT." the official hollered. Neither sister budged. So the guards, for lack of any other idea's, they each clasped one sister and put them together before the desk. Both refused to stand for inspection. Thus being a pain in the butt to the official. Who ordered them separate by the two guards. Both guards eyed the other. This was unusual...shooting okay, standing for days on end too, but removing two with force? Shrugging they knelt as the couple braced themselves. With thin lined lips, pursed on the other they pressed their eyes shut. All there knew they expected to be yanked apart, and didn't like it. The guards eyed the angry official.

"DO IT! BY BLADE IF NEED BE! OR SHOOT ONE OFF THE OTHER!" The girls wailed in fright and managed even stronger grips.

"KILL US BOTH THEN YOU BIG PENCIL FUCKING BASTARD!!" Sakura wailed. Yasai and Jagaime blinked. SAKURA CURSING? Diana okay, but Sakura? "AND DO IT YOURSELF, DON'T ORDER OTHERS TO DO YOUR DIRTY WORK YOU OLD GOAT!" she added like a viper.

"Sakura? Your amazing..." Diana whispered impressed. Fierce Sakura glanced back. "I won't let them...I WON'T! I WANNA GO HOME!"

"YOU TWO SHUDDUP. NAMES!" "FUCK YOU!" Sakura wailed back icy.

"Sakura and Diana." Yasai informed. Ignoring Sakura's poisonous glares. "Age?"

"Go fuck a tree!" Sakura snarled. "Both 17, their twins." Jagaime muttered. Sakura gritted her teeth as Diana was Dummified. What happened to her sweet hardly ever-cursing sister?

"Occupation?" "Go find a pig to hump! Poor PIG!" Sakura yelled. "Student, to be teacher, she's a mechanic student!" Diana yelped as Sakura stared a death glare.

"Come on if we don't work along they'll blast us..." "I thought we thought alike..." Sakura muttered demoralised.

"We do, I just don't wanna die." Sakura threw her off and rose. "What ever." Any fire left suddenly gone. Diana eyed her yet again stunned. Huh?

"Age, 16, born on earth, student mechanics 3rd year." Sakura muttered pissed. Then leaned on the desk where the official sat at.

"And my health is FINE. So don't even try and check me out with your chubby dirty hands. I'd rather have his." she pointed at the right guard who blinked. Diana scurried up.

"Age, 16, born on earth, student teacher 3rd year, good in bed, not for you." bold she walked around the desk and rubbed against the left guard as Sakura eyed her, then followed her example to the right guard.

"Hiya cutie, what's your name?" his eyes were huge. What the fug? This wasn't in the job description... "Um...err...I have a mate..." Diana's muttered. "Pindari." Sakura's stated proud. Even draping one arm around her waist. Jagaime blinked. HEY! And he couldn't do that? What's the catch? "You two, turn around!" the official stated. Each girl stalked away and glared at him. Matching arms on the desk, same shoulders, same noses sticking up in the air as both in sync gave him the finger.
