DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the Dragon Ball Z charachters, though it WOULD be nice to have Trunks as a personal slave...hmmmmmmmmm...



And then she woke up and it was all a dream.... The classic ending for a story written by a child, but this wasn't an ending and it DEFINATELY wasn't a dream, more like a vision...

He was running, chasing something...someone...HER! tension heightened. She was trapped. She screamed. No one rescued her. She screamed louder, she ran faster, she was more and more scared. Her parents were dead. Everyone was gone. Her world was ruined. Then she saw...nothing, she felt warm hands supporting her, it was over.

Her eyes snapped open and she saw purple hair and furrowed brows

"Nina?" The way he said her name made her shiver, she felt like a bomb about to go off.

"Nina? Can you hear me?"

"No, go away"

"Good", he smiled. Somehow she wanted to kill him and kiss him at the same time.

She sat up, she still felt dizzy...

"No,No! Lie down, rest!" It was a new voice, female. Ringing tones filled her head, but she stayed sitting up

"LIE DOWN BRAT, FOR GODS SAKE"

THIS one she recognised, it was Prince I'm-So-Damned-Perfect. She sighed, lay down for 10 seconds exactly, then sat up, just to spite him. He smiled to himself.

She looked at the new woman. wow, her hair was making Ninas eyes ache (in a good way, of course!) It was greeny blue and It looked soooo cool, no wonder she didn't seem to mind about Trunks' hair.

Then she looked around the room, the room looked kind of interesting, lots of buttons, but it reminded her of something like the hospital of the future, and she hated hospitals with a passion. Then, over in the corner, she saw two figures she hadn't noticed before, one was another boy, same age as Trunks, with spiky black hair that actually SUITED HIM coughvegetacough cough, kinda muscly, but not as gooooorgeous as Trunks.

The other... a little girl, she looked so innocent, but Nina looked into her eyes and saw something there, a fire, a passion, she looked deadly, Nina was scared.

She stood up shakily "I SAID LIE DOWN YOU ANNOYING LITTLE BRAT!" screamed the Prince of Priss, standing up. He took a deep breath, held out his hands in front of him and... The new guy kicked him. "Vegeta! ix-nay on the aiyan-say! you HAVE an uest-gay"

The Prince of Priss kicked him back and looked moody, but didn't say anything more.

She ran upstairs, she knew Trunks would follow, which was good because she didn't have a clue where she was and also because she wanted to speak to him, the new guy came up as well, that was ok, she wanted to know who the hell he was anyway. Trunks seemed to sense that this girl needed him, he lead her into a room that obviously had to belong to the little girl. she sat on the bed, took a deep breth, and began.

"First of all, who the hell are you?" She asked the new boy

"Goten" he replied, and grinned "that was a bit short and to the point"

"I am short and to the point" She said distantly, then she wondered if she could embarass them, so she followed it with

"But how short and pointy are you?" Trunks went BRIGHT red, she thought he looked cute like that, but the new boy, Goten, was it? jauntily replied "my wit, or my pencil?" Both are inconcievably long

"and vaguely BLUNT" she replied, before bursting into laughter.

Trunks could see that Goten was flirting with Nina, was Nina flirting with Goten? He watched as Ninas face straightened out, he felt vaguely sick...

"Right then, second question" Nina continued "what the hell is a Saiyan, I CAN speak pig-latin you know."

The boys looked at each-other, worriedly, she didn't want to put them through this! and undoubtably whatever answer she gave wasn't real anyway, she dropped the matter "okay,okay, forget it, you don't have to tell me...YET!!"The relief was evident on both their faces, "last question" she said, taking a photo off the mantelpiece, it was undoubtably meant to be the girl downstairs, and it completely confirmed her suspicions. "Is that your sister?" she asked Trunks

"yes, cute isn't she?"

"In this picture, yes, but one thing"

"what?"

"downstairs..."

"yes?"

"that girl is NOT your sister"
