nyc_pwyncess: hey, i'm back!! quick disclaimer, don't own dbz, but i wish i did!! i just own Moonlight, and i personally think she kix butt, but that'z just my vain self!! oh, and if you're confused on how she looks with the fox features, there's a new video game called "Starfox", which i don't own, but there's a blue vixen that would look like Moonlight, except Moonlight's hair is violet and longer, and she's silver, not blue. well, enough talk, read before i scare you off...

The grass felt soft and cool underneath my feet as I quietly followed the Z-Fighters towards the large dome-shaped building. I pondered what to do. I knew that the Z-Fighters were on the same side as I was, but how could I possibly stay with them?? I mean, I would never be accepted by many except for the kind few like Gohan. I was lost in my thoughts when Gohan fell back to walk next to me.

"What are you doing??", he innocently asked, "You look worried. Why??"

"Well, I'm just thinking about where I'm going to stay.", I replied, it was the truth.

"Don't worry about that, Chi would most likely love to have you stay over.", came a voice from behind me. I turned around, and there stood the man who had carried me over, Gohan's Dad.

"Huh?", I said, surprised by the comment.

"Oh, Chi'll probably love to have you around, big heart and everything.", he answered with that eternal goofy smile.

I was about to inquire more, when a string of curses were heard coming from the doorway. All of us turned to see the one with flame hair yelling at the door. "Baka onna!! Locking the door every damn time she leaves the damn house!!"

The bald one stood next to me and said, "Vegeta, don't you have a key?"

The one who was called Vegeta shot in front of the bald one so that he was in front of me too. And I could clearly tell his patience was running thin, for a vein on his head was popping out and he snarled at the bald one, "If I had a key Cueball, would I complain about being locked out?! And what good would a key do on a lock operated by a handprint?!" His voice sounded so mad and angry that it reminded me of Seventeen, and as much as I hate to admit it, I edged away and found myself next to the one with lavender hair, for he looked strong and not as scary.

"Calm down, I'm sure we could get in through a window or something, right??", inquired the lavender haired guy next to me. Why did everyone close to me always have to attract flamehead's attention?!

"I'm not so stupid so as not to think of that!!", he retorted, "But first of all, the only way to open them is to blast them, and secondly, that baka onna refused to cook for me ever again if I blasted anything else. Like I care."

I looked around, and saw everyone trying to suppress their laughter. Flamehead did what was most likely his patented death glare on them all, but that only made them laugh harder.

"YOU BAKAS!! WHAT DO YOU FIND SO AMUSING?!", he shouted at the top of his lungs. Then he looked from the heaps of people on the ground laughing, to me with a cold stare and a sneer that reminded me so much of Seventeen's. He started to walk towards me, and I must admit that out of fear I began to step back, but stopped myself, and attempted to stand tall. He stopped in font of me and looked down, for even though he was one of the shorter ones, I was shorter.

"Why aren't you on the ground laughing at something," he started then turned his head to look at the others," THAT IS SO UTTERLY STUPID?! Too scared??" he ended with a smirk. The others began to recover and stood up. I opened my mouth to speak, but he interrupted with, "Hah, I knew it, you're just weak and useless." He halfway turned to walk towards the house, when I kicked him in the shins.

Now, I knew it didn't hurt him, but as soon as I did it, I knew I shouldn't have. He turned around and picked me up by the scruff of my neck. Gohan's Dad jumped, but I just stared at him and said, "You interrupted me. No, I wasn't scared, I just didn't catch the punch-line, you know??" I knew I was asking for trouble, but hell, I didn't care anymore, no one would ever lord over me again.

He rose his hand to strike me, but I quickly put in, "And if you ever want to get in the house, you'll put me down." I must admit it stopped him, but he just casually tossed me to the side. "Open it. Now.", was all he said as he started towards the back door.

We all followed in suit, and the others came around me to introduce themselves. Baldy started, "I'm Krillin."

Lavender said, "Trunks."

The green one followed with, "Piccolo."

Gohan's Dad said, "I'm Goku, and my son is Gohan. That guy over there is Vegeta. But what's your name??"

"Well, I'm Moonlight."

"Ummm...How're you going to open the door with the lock still on it??", piped in Gohan.

As we reached the door, I turned towards him and said, "You don't spend you're whole life escaping and not learn how to break a couple of locks or codes. But how do I know you're not breaking in?? Hmmm??"

"Oh well, you see...", Goku stumbled.

"Joking. But, watch and learn.", I said as I faced the gray colored square with a patch of blue for the hand which was the lock. My claw fit into the screw like a regular screwdriver would, and I twisted them all off, taking off the cover. Inside was a jumble of wires, but I just dug in, sliced some with my claws, then connected a select few together. I replaced the cover, stepped back, and triumphantly said, "Done."

Trunks stepped over to me, "What did you do."

"I rerouted the cables so that the programming would not only recognize the handprints previously installed, but my own as well." I placed my hand on the blue pad and a light scanned over it. "Welcome home...Moonlight.", came the monotone computer voice as the door slid open.

As we stepped in, their was so much stuff everywhere. Man were these people rich. "Wow."
