The Story So Far:

After leaving her post, "The Gates of Time" in search of escaping her loneliness Trista finds her self in the Sayian Kingdom, on the Planet of Vegeta-sii. (If this isn't the correct name, I'm sorry then!!!!) She befriends Bra, princess of the Sayian Kingdom and almost becomes prey to Karrot, the king's advisor and most trusted guard. But she is saved by King Vegeta, who is willing to offer her shelter and protection if she becomes a 'nanny' for Bra. So, now the story..

From the last chapter:

" Huh?" I say , I walked right into someone. I shakily get up , my head spinning I bow and say " I 'm very sorry. Please forgive me."

" Well, no need Lady Trista. My fault in fact, I turned the corner a little too fast." Came a matured , feminne voice...

I looked into the eyes of an old woman.the old woman I saw on my first day here! When Karrot tried to drag me off to his bedchamber.surprise hinted at my voice and I started to stutter and began pointing at her.

" Yes, it's me, 'that old woman' " She said as she rose from the ground and dusted herself off. Bra ran to my side and helped me up , staring at the old woman in curiosity

" I'm very sorry." I said and bowed deeply. Bra saw me and did the same.

The old woman shook her head " Oh no, Princess Bra , Lady Trista, please don't. My fault it is. do not concern your self with this old woman's health."

I scratched my head; I did not even know the woman's name. I opened my mouth to talk when I was interrupted by her:

" Kaede, my name be. Just call me old woman Kaede."

I nodded dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Bra tugged on my shoulder and whispered " Trista , let's go .." She seemed to be frightened of Kaede. She did carry a unusual aura, nothing demonic or evil. Just that, it felt similar to a miko's power, like Rei's when she was at a the shrine.

Kaede blinked and jumped, " King Vegeta has given me a message for you: He wants to remind you that you are expected to come to this dinner too."

Another shock to my system, "What?!?!? I thought I was only to prepare Bra!!!!"

Bra jumped up with glee "Oh come on Trista!!! It will be lots of fun! Grandpa will be there!!!"

A look of confusion arched itself across my face. " Grandpa???"

Kaede looked up at me ' King Vegeta 's father, Lord Vegeta, former king of the Saiyans."

I gulped and started to sweat nervously. Vegeta 's father...Oh boy...Queen Serenity please have mercy..

I finished putting on the gown that Vegeta left for me to dress in. I turned around and saw my reflection in the mirror.

I gasped when my eyes hit the large piece of glass that we call a mirror. I was dressed in a strapless gown that material starched down past my knees and meet the ground. It was a pretty color: the faintest blue possible mixed with All different shades of blue. It was like a melting pot of all the hues of blue together. And a belt was wrapped around my waist sewed in into the gown, completely made of beads.

I looked my self over once and blinked. Was this Trista?

Plain, boring, old Trista?

I looked myself over in the mirror; I had parts of my body I never really noticed before until now. I had curves! Is this what Karrot saw when he first saw me?

( Oh come on Trista, you wear a sailor fuku that has a the shortest skirt in history!)

A thought hit me, I had to go and get Bra from her bedchamber! I did not want to be late - not to the dinner and not to upset Vegeta.

Oh Duh! I thought to my self as I raced out the room and down the hallway leading to Bra's bedchamber.

I saw someone else turn the corner, it was too late to stop. At the last moment I called out to them, " STOP!"

Cliff hanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ...ha ha ha ha !
