She and I worked for an hour or so, making a wig that I could maneuver in
without a risk of it falling off. I slipped on a blue halter-top that
exposed my stomach and had the symbol of the word "dragon" on it, almost
like a small hint. My pants were very baggy khakis that went well with the
entire outfit. The final touch were the contacts, which Bulma made for me
so that they didn't impair my vision. They made my eyes green with a touch
of blue. I smiled happily, my necklace tucked underneath my top. I figured
it wouldn't matter that my tattoo was visible because I thought wouldn't
have my back to them at all.
I stood in front of a mirror, looking myself over. I looked up as I heard a voice, "Mmm… you look hot!" I laughed as I saw Trunks grinning in the doorway, Bulma laughing. I smiled, "Isn't it great! Your mom made it for me. Bulma nodded and let down her long blue hair, sitting, "It sure took a while to make, you better not destroy it!" She smiled as we laughed. I sat down on a stool next to the white table, Trunks sitting across from me. He looked a little worried suddenly, "Are you sure you really want to leave? I mean I'm sure everyone is fine". I smiled a little as I took his hand gently,
"Don't worry babe, I'll be ok". I smiled gently into his eyes and Bulma stood quickly, feeling a little awkward, "Well I need to go take care of business, and the ship is ready for you to go back whenever you want, I finished repairs actually". I nodded, not looking away from Trunks, holding his hand tightly as he looked at me, scared.
Bulma left, leaving Trunks and myself alone. I sighed a bit, "I really need to do this, and you just need to believe that I will be ok". He gave me the usual puppy-dog eyes and spoke, "But I'll miss you…" I laughed a bit as he started laughing as well. I stood up and took off my wig carefully and getting changed in front of Trunks, much to his entertainment. I put my tank top and jeans back on, placing the outfit and wig in a capsule and looking over at him. He stood, putting his hands on my waist gently and leaned in, kissing me deeply. I almost dropped my capsules on the floor, which would not have ended well.
He stepped back after a minute or so and looked into my eyes, brushing a few strands of my hair away, "I hope you have fun, and tell everyone I said hello". I nodded, hugging him tightly and then walking outside towards the repair station, seeing Bulma finishing up a different project. She wiped her forehead a little and smiled, "Do you have everything?" I nodded, not telling them I brought my sword just in case it became necessary.
I hugged Bulma and Trunks goodbye, deciding that it would be easier if I just left without saying goodbye to everyone else; I didn't want this to be a big for anyone other than myself. I sat in the seat of the machine, adjusting the settings and closing the hatch, smiling as I waved goodbye, the machine floating into the air. Within a split second, I was whirling through time, light and colors flashing by me faster than I could keep up with.
After a few seconds of the whirling, I felt the machine finally land on the ground. I looked out of the ship and saw Goku's home a few hundred feet away. I smiled, knowing I could stop there first and talk to Chi Chi, ask how she was, and visit Gohan.
I hopped out of the machine lightly, pressing the button that turned it back into a capsule for safekeeping. I walked over to the home, seeing someone outside the house. It was a guy; I knew that much, and I wondered if he was Gohan. He looked to be about 17 and smiled as he saw me, waving. It was definitely him.
I smiled as I ran up to him, hugging him tightly, noticing how changed he looked. He hugged me too, laughing, "Wow! It's really you! I can't believe you came back after all this time!" I smiled, looking at him,
"I didn't think I'd be back either, it's actually only been about 2 years in my time, but I figured it was about 7 years here". He smiled, talking a little more as he lead me into the house. I saw Chi Chi and said hello, catching up with her and Gohan for about an hour or so, sitting at the kitchen table and exchanging stories.
I looked up as I heard someone come running in. I looked over and I saw a little kid who looked identical to Goku. Chi Chi smiled and beckoned him over, "Goten, come here for a moment, there's someone I want you to meet". Goten was six, and extremely adorable, looking like a mini-Goku. His voice was small and sweet as well, just like the rest of him. He looked at me curiously bit his thumbnail nervously, hiding behind Chi Chi and sticking his head out to look at me shyly.
Gohan laughed, "This is Goten, my little brother. He was, erm…conceived right before the Cell games. He's usually only this shy around new people". I smiled at Goten and winked, he laughed a bit and stepped out. I held out my hand politely to him, "Hey Goten, I'm Alix, it's nice to meet you". He looked at my hand for a moment, and then shook it firmly, obviously having much strength at his young age. He looked at me eagerly, "Do you like to play?" I laughed a bit, along with Gohan and Chi Chi,
"I sure do!" He smiled brightly at me,
"Do you want to play? Trunks said he was coming over in a little bit and you can play with us!" I smiled, very curious as to see Trunks at 7 years old. I looked at Chi Chi for her approval; she nodded, and said, "Sure, it'd be good if you went with them to make sure they don't get hurt, they roughhouse fairly hard". I laughed a bit,
"Can they go Super Saiyan?" Goten looked at the ground,
"Mommy says I'm not allowed to…" Chi Chi nodded, looking triumphant,
"That's right, and if I catch you going Super Saiyan you'll be punished" I figured her reason for this was just that it probably reminded her so much of Goku.
I nodded, "Of course, I'll make sure they stay at the normal level". I made sure Chi Chi wasn't looking and winked at Goten, planning on letting him go as high as he pleased. He smiled brightly, but I motioned for him to keep quiet, knowing not to anger Chi Chi.
I heard a car pull up outside, and I knew it was Bulma and Trunks, knowing Vegeta wouldn't be with them. Bulma walked inside and froze when she saw me, just staring. Trunks looked awfully confused, looking from me to his mother. I smiled, noting how tough looking he was, wearing his training outfit, and wearing the hard stare of Vegeta. I laughed a bit at the strange combination, thinking how adorable he was. I stood and walked over to Bulma, hugging. She smiled, "I can't believe you're really here! It's been just about 7 years now!" I laughed, stepping back,
"Yea, that's what everyone keeps telling me!" I smiled, seeing how short she had cut her hair, then looking at Trunks who seemed awfully curious. Bulma looked at her son and smiled, "This is Alix, the girl I told you about when you were younger". I grinned to myself, thinking it was strange to have a story told about me. Trunks beamed when he heard this, "Wow! She's real? This is so awesome!" I laughed as Goten came running up to his best friend, "Yea! And she's going to tr- erm… I mean play with us". I grinned as Bulma nodded, "Just make sure you come back with time to spare, I need to catch up on things with you". I smiled, agreeing, then walking out back with the boys.
Goten and Trunks immediately began to play fight, running and jumping and having fun. I smiled as I watched them, thinking how powerful they were at such a young age. We had gotten far enough away from the house by now, so I stopped them and grinned, "You guys want to really train? With a Dragon Saiyan?" They smiled, Goten looking at me, "Can we go Super?" I nodded,
"Definitely" Trunks and Goten cheered a bit, easily going Super Saiyan. I wondered if Gohan knew about this, figuring Chi Chi knew about her son already. Trunks looked at me, his hair golden and sticking up, "Now it's your turn, go Super". I grinned,
"I don't go Super, but I do have levels. There are 6 I can reach, but for now, I can only get to the second" He and Goten beamed, seemingly excited by this, jumping up and down, begging me to go to the first level. I smirked, closing my eyes and going level 1. My hair was golden, just like theirs, except it was in a braid.
They seemed in awe of this, Goten exclaiming, "Wow! That's neat!" I laughed a bit and got ready, "Are we going to train or not?" They smiled and began to fight, very hard actually, being very strong for such young ages, I was almost tempted to go to the second level, but decided against it.
We stopped after a few hours, going back to normal as we headed back. I carried Goten on my shoulders and held Trunks hand, having bonded with the boys after such a short period of time. I started thinking out loud as we started getting closer, "Crap…I need to find a place to stay tonight". Trunks looked excited,
"Maybe you can stay with us at Capsule Corps.!" I started thinking, wondering if it was a good idea, I did need to catch up with Bulma after all.
We got to the house and I let Goten down and letting go of Trunks' hand as they ran to their mothers sitting at the table, Gohan was sitting in his room doing his studies. Trunks immediately started talking, really wanting me to stay over at his house, "Mom, can Alix stay at our house tonight! She doesn't have anywhere to stay and I want her to come over! Please? PLEASE?!" I turned red, quickly denying that I needed a place to stay, "Oh! No, I'm fine, I'm sure I can get a hotel or something". Bulma raised an eyebrow at me, hands on her hips, "Don't be ridiculous! I'm sure we can get you a room" I smiled a bit, "Are you sure? I don't want to intrude". Bulma laughed,
"Trust me, us giving you a room for however long you stay here after being away for 7 years is HARDLY intruding. Plus, I need to catch up on things with you!" I smiled, happy I had a place to stay for the 2 and half weeks I was planning on being there.
I stood in front of a mirror, looking myself over. I looked up as I heard a voice, "Mmm… you look hot!" I laughed as I saw Trunks grinning in the doorway, Bulma laughing. I smiled, "Isn't it great!
