A Chance of a Lifetime-Chapter 1



"..last time on dbz.."

I heard those magical words and ran to the TV, turning it all the way up. I smiled as the familiar faces of Goku and Vegeta came onto the screen. Man it would be so awesome to live with them. I sighed as I watched Goku blast buu. Vegeta sitting back, watching the whole thing. Goku and Vegeta gets better looking every time this show comes on. I watched as Goku and Vegeta powered up to fight. I imagine myself there with them, fighting alongside them. I power up to Super Saiyan 3, smirking as Vegeta looks at me in awe. I ready my stance and rush towards buu, fists ready to hit. I raise my fist and bring it down...

"Could you turn that crap down, Trista? I can't concentrate!"

I pop open my eyes.

My sister comes down the hall and huffs as she stands in front of me. She looks at me accusingly, pointing a finger at me.

"You were day dreaming again, weren't you?" She squints her eyes at me.

I roll my eyes and stand up, turning the t.v. off as the end song of DBZ comes on. God, what I wouldn't give to go to their world. I sigh and make my way to my room. Which anyone else wouldn't call it a room, they would call it a shrine. I fall onto my bed, face up. Staring dead at Goku's face on my ceiling, I start thinking of how great it would be to just meet him. I could still hear my sister banging on my door, telling me to grow up and that DBZ was for 5 year olds. I get pissed and got up. Opening the door, I push my sister against the wall.

"Take that back." I cross my arms over my breast.

She looks surprised, then tears well up in her eyes and she turns around, running down the hall crying. I laugh to myself then go back into my room. Why can't she ever leave me be? She is always making fun of me liking DBZ. My eyes narrow as I listen to her tell mom WHY she got pushed, and WHY I was locked in my room. Most likely making something up to make it look like she was the victim. I snicker and roll over onto my stomach. I start to daydream again and fall asleep, listening to the sound of Goku's voice in my head.



"Hey, wake up sleepy head!"

I groan as I feel hands pushing me. I slap at them and roll over. I hear laughter and my eyes pop open. It sounded like..it can't be..I turn over.

"Hey!!"

Goku smiles his legendary smile at me. But how is this possible? He must have read my thoughts because he laughed and ruffled my hair.

"You made a wish just as Shenlong was called upon. And your wish was granted." He smiled good-naturally. I looked him up and down. I sat up.

"But..but..but."

I close my eyes and open them again. NOPE! It wasn't a dream. Goku was actually standing in my bedroom. Or what I thought was my bedroom. I started looking around. Noticing the odd furniture and clothing.

"Where am I?" I looked back at Goku.

"Your at Capsule Corporation. We brought you hear after you fell from the sky. Yep! And you had a big knot on your head too."

He gave his legendary smile again as I reached and felt the back of my head. That's funny, there's not a knot there.

"You surprised everyone when you fell, but you surprised us more when you healed so fast. You know, Vegeta was pretty mad when he found out there was another saiyan in our mists." He looked dead at me.

I looked at him, dumbstruck.

"Me..a..saiyan?"

"Yep!"

"It couldn't be possible. Me, a saiyan! I'm just an ordinary person. I have no saiyan blood," my voice went up an octive "no, I don't believe it. But I know you don't lie, so it has to be true. Unless this is a whole big joke! Where is my sister? Monica!!!!!! This isn't funny. Come out now! Mon.."

"Hold on, it's ok. Everything's going to be ok." Goku gave me a hug and patted me on the back. He rocked me as if I were a child. I was 19, for pete's sake!! I shoved him away from me, my cheeks burning. I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes.

"I'm not a baby, I'm 19, thank you very much." I huffed and sank lower onto the bed.

"Well I." Goku started and then just scratched the back of his head.

Then he laughed and shrugged.

"I was just comforting you."

I couldn't stay mad at him. I gave a small smile and looked around the room again. Then I looked down. Where did this come from? I was wearing a long t- shirt that had Bulma written on the front. Then I looked around for some other sort of clothing.

"Um.Goku? Where are my clothes?" I looked at him with wide eyes.

His cheeks turned a bright red and he scratched the back of his head, thinking. Then he looked back at me with a blank stare.

"Gee.I dunno!"

"Could you go ask Bulma please?"

He smiled.

"Yeah.I guess that would be a good place to start."

I shook my head. Goku could be really out of it sometimes. I cleared my throat and quirked an eyebrow.

"And when you get back, I want to know what happen when I made that wish!"
