Suspended In Time

Chapter 1

He growled extremely annoyed at his sister. "Eighteen why'd you block my shot I would've had her." "I..I don't know why," she said sounding a little unsure of herself. "Maybe you're becoming defective. Oh well happens too the best of us sis." "Shut up already, Seventeen!" she yelled, her brother could be so annoying sometimes. "Hmm, say what you wanna, but I think your just upset because I was beating you in target practice." He said smartly. "Was not! Grr let's just go home now I'm really not in the mood." "Fine, you know you sure can spoil a good time Eighteen."

Eighteen just rolled her eyes following close behind her brother taking one last glance at the ground where that girl once stood whoever she was. An why had she saved her anyway, maybe she was becoming defective but she shook these thoughts out of her head; they were of really no concern to her. Just an extra human to terrorize at the expense of she and her brothers fun, with one last look at the remains of Nicky Town she smirked and blasted off to catch up with her brother who was now very far ahead.

************************************************************** The dirt and debris stirred beneath her feet as she treaded the broken concrete, a dead chill passing through her. "I can't believe how bad those two destroyed this city. Who could possibly survive this," Bulma gasped at the destruction before her, trying to imagine how this used to be Nicky Town.

"Hello! Anyone out here! Hello!" Bulma yelled trying to get any survivors attention though she doubted there were any.

Since the time her son left for the past again she had taken it upon herself to quote unquote take his place. And though physically she was no match for the Androids, she helped by saving the survivors. In the passing weeks of her son's absence there had been five attacks, within those five she had only been able to find one survivor; a little girl. Fortunately for her she had been on the outskirts of the city so she escaped with only some cuts and bruises. But the miraculous thing was that in less than 3 days Bulma had managed to find the lost girls mother. When she reunited the two it had been one of the most rewarding things she had done in a long time.

However, other than that little girl nothing and it seemed nothing this time either. She was about to head back for her air car when she heard someone say. "Pl..please don't go, I nee..ed.. he..lp." "Huh?" she turned around and noticed something she hadn't seen before buried beneath the silt was a body though it was moving, but only for a second before the movement stopped completely. "Hold on." Bulma yelled scurrying over desperately removing the debris off of the young lady.

[I wonder who she is.] **************************************************************A/N Originally I was going to end it here but Thanx to my lovely reviewers you know who you are I'm treating you guys with a little extra. Enjoy ^_^ ************************************************************** "Uh" I groaned painfully as I became increasingly aware of my condition. My head hurt my vision was blurred, my throat dry and sore; when I opened my mouth to yawn I think my voice cracked. And my lower torso was just radiating pain; was I in hell? Sure felt like it. I tried looking around though my vision was still hazed I made out as best I could I was in a building, a hospital perhaps. No that's impossible the nearest hospital to Nicky Town was 150 miles away, I know I hadn't been out that long. So the real question was who after twenty years of the Androids could possibly be able to maintain any type of medical facility in their home. Just then a human shadow entered my field of vision, damn it eyes focus, I strained my eyes in an attempt to see.

There

It was a woman with blue eyes and long blue hair, which she held back loosely in a low ponytail. She was most likely in her late 40's early 50's if I had to guess but she didn't look a day over 35. She still hadn't taken notice of my consciousness as of yet, messing around with something on the desk or other. I didn't mind though she probably was going ask me a lot of questions and I wasn't in the mood for conversation as of now, not that I could with my throat so dry and all. She finally turned around. "Oh good your awake, here drink this your throat must be sore," she said, how did she know that I wondered. Anyway with her help I was able to prop myself up, difficult as it was we managed; she then handed me a glass of water.

My senses perked as the cool water alleviated my throat never had I felt such relief. I offered a gratifying look to the women who had or at least in my opinion already went above and beyond to help me. Most of that opinion was formulated just for the fact she didn't leave me to die in Nicky Town. She smiled at me and though no words were passed between us we both new what the other was trying to say.

"So"...she began. [Here come the questions] I thought. "You probably want to know where you are; right? Well miss you are at Capsule Corp under the watchful eye of Ms. Bulma Briefs but please just call me Bulma." She said pleasantly. "Where are you from?" she asked; I didn't answer she tried again. "Do you have a home?" Again I was silent but I wasn't trying to be rude I just didn't know how to answer the questions. And now I wasn't even looking at her just staring emptily ahead, sometimes glancing at the water I held in my hand, like I was trying to unravel its mysteries. What I really was doing was staling for time. I mean what home did I have to speak of I'd been out on my own since I was twelve. Living in and out of estranged families, most times taking shelter in abandoned buildings. It had never occurred to me to have a true home my goal since then and still is, is to find Alex and Alexia.

I had no home.

And for the first time in a long time that bothered me, the silence continued as I dwelled on this for what seemed like innumerable minutes.

Well, apparently it seemed that Bulma doesn't really take all that well to silence. "Come on I know you can speak I understand if you don't want to talk right now, but you're at least telling me your name." She demanded. My, my, wasn't she forceful, not like I had something to hide, so why not? I turned my head slightly, only enough for my gaze to meet hers.

And these words passed my lips..."My name is Alana." **************************************************************A/N A nice place to stop don't you think. Now R/R ppls. And for those who wanna know I should have the 3rd chapter out by.. uh I don't know Friday? Yea that'll work Ja ne for now. ^_^
