Amay looked back at Mia as she was beginning to catch up. "What was that
all about?" She asked, noticing how she hesitated.
Mia shrugged as she reached her. "Nothing really. I've never really been anywhere without him since I first came here. He's a bit of a guardian to me.... I think that's the right way to put it."
Amay hummed and left it at that. "Yeah.... okay.... I can understand that." She said, slowing down a little to let Mia catch up. "So." She began, "Where are we headed?"
Amay shrugged and and glided over on her back, "To Capsule Corp, first of all, I've gotta meet someone there real quick." Mia froze for a moment, seeing small blush marks on Amay's cheeks.
With a smile of shy understanding, Mia kept following, knowing she would soon see the answer to the question in her mind. 'Who is it she wants to meet there?'
Amay's eyes perked as the large yellow building came into sight. "We're here." She said, jetting down, with Mia close behind. Her eyes grew wide at the huge building. "Is it a palace?" She asked.
Amay laughed and shook her head, "No, I live here, with a few others." She said, walking up to the door, "You'll be staying here too.... but, you can call it a palace if you want. Mr. 'Prince of all saiyajins' lives here too."
Mia smiled. "Vegeta lives here?"
"Yeah." Amay said in a not-so-thrilled tone, "And no one forgets it either.... come on." She said opening the door.
The first thing Mia saw, was the lower half of a body sticking out of a refrigerator. Curious, she stepped forward and peeked in, and suddenly, there was Goku, a dumpling in each cheek and a couple in each hand. He smiled in his usual Goku way, and mumbled what resembled a 'Would you like one?'
Mia took a step back, a small smile appearing on her face, "Uh...no thanks." She chucked. Amay sighed and shook her head with the same smile coming over her face. "Hey Goku."
Mia went to the fridge and peeked in. "Oooooooo....." She cooed. "Hot fudge!" Amay slapped her forehead, wondering what concoction they'd end up making
"Help yourself to it Mia." Amay chuckled, sitting down at the table. "I'm sure Bulma won't mind."
Mia squealed happily as she pulled it out and went into the freezer. She pulled out a gallon jug of ice cream and licked her lips. "This'll do!" Goku's eyes grew wide. "You're going to share right?" She squeaked a yes as she put the fudge in the microwave and put it on high.
Soon it was ready and Mia sat down with a spoon and dumped the whole thing of fudge on top of the ice cream, still in the carton. Goku grabbed a spoon and they began shoveling happily. Amay shrugged, and got up to get a spoon as well.
Goku swallowed a rather large bite of ice cream, and then froze, as the cold went to his head, "AHH!" He yelped. Amay smiled and almost spit her ice cream out.
Mia laughed at his situation, but soon met with a brain freeze of her own. He yelped and grabbed her nostril, whining about the pain as Goku went along in a very similar manner.
"What the hell is going on in here!?" A gruff sounding voice shouted. Amay froze, letting out loud sigh. "Having fun Baka, try it sometime!" She shouted as Vegeta entered the room. Mia froze at Amay's words.
She turned to her. "Amay," She whispered. "Don't you think your being rather rude to Vegeta?"
Amay looked at her and shook her head, "No more than usual." She said, taking another bite of the ice cream.
Vegeta huffed and walked over to the fridge. "Hello Mia, don't you think you're hanging around a very strange bunch. If I were you I'd make friends that wouldn't deteriorate your good points."
Amay tilted her head back and looked at him, "Then why is she friends with you Vegeta?" She asked with a sarcastic smile. Mia looked at Amay, "Amay...." She whispered, not wanting to see another fight. "I don't think you should get him mad..."
The saiyajin prince snarled and whirled towards Amay with lightning speed. His fist stopped and inch from her face, as he glared at her. "Remember who your speaking to!" He spat at her in disrespect and left the room, leaving Mia gawking at the scene. 'That didn't go very well.'
Amay sighed and stood up, dropping the spoon in the almost empty bowl. "Since when DOES a conversation between me and Vegeta go well..."
Goku finally recovered from his headache. "I don't know Amay, I thought it went rather well this time."
Mia looked at Amay and blinked, "You mean it's usually worse?
Goku smiled, "Are you kidding, There's normally a earthquake when those two get at it!" Mia swallowed. "Then, I'm glad it went so well...."
Amay nodded, not really giving the little disagreement any thought. "Let's go Mia. You wanna get cleaned up?"
Mia smiled so big it gave Goku a run for his money! "You bet I do!" She leapt up to leave the remains of the ice cream for Goku.
Mia followed Amay up the stairs into her room. "Wow!" She said looking around, "Nice!" Amay smiled and gave a shrug. "Thanks." She said, "The bathroom is over there. Feel free to use whatever you want."
Mia didn't need to be told twice. She hopped into the tiny room, and turned the water on. She immediately stripped down and jumped in, quick to start by washing between her toes.
Amay heard a small splash followed by Mia giggling. "I take it you like baths....eh Mia?" She laughed, sitting down on her bed and looking at the picture on the nightstand with a smile.
Mia chirped a happy, "I love to take real baths!" With a sigh, she sunk down in to the hot water, sloshing water everywhere.
Amay cringed at the sound of the water sloshing on the floor and sighed. "You just make sure you don't flood the place, okay?" Mia shouted a sure and proceeded to add, "And I'll clean up the water on the floor, it's just been a while! Bathing in streams and lakes don't get you clean like this."
Amay leaned back on her bed and nodded, "I guess I know what you mean. I mean, when I first came here after being on Namek, it seemed I couldn't get clean enough." She laughed. Mia gasped. "You were on namek? The place Piccolo's from?" Amay nodded again, "Yeah, for about two years actually." The saiyajin girl in the tub leaned out a bit. "Can you tell me about it?"
"Well...after I escaped from Frieza.... I went to find Goku and ended up crashing in namek...." Amay said. Mia thought a moment.
"You were at Frieza's base?!" She asked. Amay sat up and sighed, "Yeah...but...I left due to reasons...it's a long story...." She sighed. Mia nodded. "I won't pry. I know how horrible he is." Mia sunk under the water and blew bubbles to the surface.
"Well, for a change of subject, what about something else. You have a special someone or something?"
Amay froze, her face turning an instant crimson. "Uhhhh...I guess.... you could say that..." She said in a high-pitched voice. Mia chuckled mischievously. "Well, is he tall, dark, handsome, strong..."? The list went on until Amay couldn't take it.
"OKAY!" Amay sighed, a dreamy look coming over her face as she looked over at the pictures of her and Yamcha on her nightstand. "...AH! All of the above!" She suddenly blurted out; her face looking like it was going to explode!
Mia laughed like a cheeky little minx as she thought of love. "You're so lucky! You think you'll fall in love and get married and...."
Amay couldn't breath as Mia rambled on, succeeding in making her turn almost purple.
The other girl added, "And maybe you'll have babies! Little you's and him's running around!" Amay shrieked at the thought, laughing hysterically at the picture put in her mind! She could just see chibi Yamchas on her knee calling her Mommy.
"Hold it right there Mia." Amay said, still trying to shake the image, and still laughing, "I'm not sure if Yamcha and I are really...."
"Yamcha?!" Mia chirped in with a chuckle, "So THAT'S his name!" Mia wrapped a towel around her and stepped out into the main room. "So, what's he look like?" Mia suddenly bit in her lip. "It is a he, isn't it?"
Amay 'EEPED' and with a toss of the pillow, Mia was dodging projectile fluffy objects.
After Amay vented, Mia sat down on her bed next to her and looked over her shoulder at the picture frame. "Ohhhh......" She cooed. "He's adorable." Amay nodded. "Sure is."
Mia smiled, knowing the picture was of them locked in a deep kiss. Amay was in a pale blue dress and he wore a sporty suit. Mia sighed. "It's so precious."
Amay let out another dreamy sigh, "I've known him ever since I came to Earth...about 3 years ago...."
Mia smiled, stars in her eyes, "That's so sweet!"
Amay sighed along with her. "Yeah...I guess so." She shrugged, "But you'll be able to meet him later." She grinned.
Mia looked at her and giggled, "Okay..."
~*~
"How's this look Amay?" Mia asked, stepping out of the bathroom.
Amay smiled and looked the young saiyajin over.
"Not bad....not bad at all..." She said with a smile, "That should work until we get you to the mall."
Mia wore a pair of Amay's blue jeans, the ones with the little studs on the seams and a light blue tank top, which showed off her mid-drift.
"Hey Amay?!" Bulma's voice rang from downstairs.
"Yeah?!" The saiyajin called back in a semi-loud voice.
"Someone's here to see you!"
Mia looked up to see Amay's face slightly red, "THANKYOU!" She called back in a half sarcastic tone.
So...is that who I think." Mia smiled mischievously, as she followed Amay down the stairs. Amay's little feet took her down them with surprising speed, and right into a waiting Yamcha's arms.
Yamcha jumped slightly and looked down at Amay, who was hugging him as tight as she could.
"Hey." He said in his usual 'Yamcha way'.
Amay looked up and smiled,
"Heh...hi." She said in a slight whisper, leaning up to place a small kiss on his lips. Yamcha smiled and wrapped his arms around her, intending to make it a little more that a small kiss but then jumped back as he spotted Mia, who was smiling at the little scene.
Mia chuckled and waved. "Hi!"
Yamcha smirked awkwardly. "Eh, hi Mia. How's it going?" Mia smiled secretively. "Fine." Amay raised a brow.
"You've met?" Mia nodded. "Yeah, but only briefly. He was at Goku's when he took me home with him after Rio died."
"Rio?" Amay asked, looking over at Mia, who only shook her head slightly, "I'll explain later." She said.
"So, what brings to here Mia?" Yamcha asked as the three other them sat down on the couch.
"Well, Amay offered to show me around the city...and strangely enough, Piccolo said it was okay..." Yamcha raised an eyebrow, "Wow...maybe Piccolo really is loosening up..." Amay chuckled, "I think the only reason he let you go Mia, is because he wanted me out of his hair..."
"You think?" She asked. Somewhere inside her, she had hoped he let her go because he wanted her to have some time off...because somewhere under all that muscle arrogance and pain, was a creature that could love her.
"Anyway...." Amay said, looking over at Yamcha with a mysterious look, "I have a favor to ask of you Yamcha..." He looked at her and smiled slightly, "Oh no.." He said with a chuckle.
Amay scooted over to him, her eyes innocently locked on his face. "Do you think that you could drive Mia and I into the city so we can do some shopping?"
Yamaha looked down at her, leaning back as she leaned in, embarrassed to get to close to her in front of her 'company'. Amay batted her eyes a few times. "It'd make me sooooo happy..." The former bandit began to turn red. "Eh, uh, erm if ya, eh, want I can.... take the, heh, convertible..."
Amay smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek."Arigato Yamcha-chan!" She sang, jumping up off the couch, "We'll be ready in a sec!"
Mia followed Amay into the bathroom and watched her put on some makeup. She saw the brush sitting on the edge of the sink and picked it up to brush her hair while the other Saiyajin adorned herself in glitter and such.
"Amay, do you have a ribbon I could use?"
"Yeah, there's a few in there" Amay said, pointing to a little wooden box on the sink.
Mia bent over and retrieved a small basket box, and opened it. It was filled with clips, lace, ribbons, ponytail holders, and other accessories. Mia picked out an irredesent white ribbon and ties her hair up in a ponytail. "There. It's not much, but it was my little piece of joy when I was younger."
She looked at Amay and smiled. She looked so adorable with her glitter. She looked like a fairy of sorts.
"Karamia..." She whispered under her breath. "A Genuine Karamia."
Amay smiled and turned to Mia, "Okay.... your turn." She said.
Mia cocked her head and looked at her. "What?"
Amay giggled, "Your not planning on going into the city without some of this are you?" She said pulling her compact out.
Mia shrugged and took the mirrored make up from her.
"I've used similar things...before...." She dabbed some under her eyes and cheeks and nose until all her little blemishes were gone. She handed it back to Amay and took out her eye liner, lining the underside of her bottom eyelid and slightly on her upper eyes, finishing with a bit of shadow and clear lip gloss, she was done.
"Okay, can we go now?" She obviously wanted to get going...
"Yep!" Amay smiled.
She ran down the stairs with Mia close behind, grabbed Yamcha and headed out the door.
Mia shrugged as she reached her. "Nothing really. I've never really been anywhere without him since I first came here. He's a bit of a guardian to me.... I think that's the right way to put it."
Amay hummed and left it at that. "Yeah.... okay.... I can understand that." She said, slowing down a little to let Mia catch up. "So." She began, "Where are we headed?"
