Piccolo left the Capsule Corp building. He didn't fly of because he wanted to walk a bit. He needed to think. It had been quite the meeting. Gohan had called all of the Z gang and told them to come to Capsule Corp because he had an important announcement to make. Everyone had been there. The whole Son family, the whole Briefs family, Yamcha, Tien, Chioutzu, Puar, Oolong, Master Roshi, Dende, Krillin, 18 and Marron. Even Yajirobe and Lunch had been there! The first announcement hadn't been much of a surprise. Everyone had seen it coming. Gohan and Videl were going to get married. But the second announcement had been quite a shock. Videl was pregnant. Chi-Chi nearly fainted and then cried. Goku could only stare at Gohan and Videl with a stupid grin on his face. He was really happy for them. He even told them that. It had meant a great deal to Gohan. So much in fact that he had given him a hug. It had been a bit embarrassing. Thank Kami that most of the others hadn't seen it.

Something hit his leg. He had been lost in thought for quite a while. Looking around, he saw that he was in an unfamiliar part of the city. He looked down to see what had hit his leg. It was a piece of paper. Pulling it of his leg, he saw that it was a missing person poster. He was about to throw the poster away when he saw the picture on it.

"No, this cannot be. There must be a mistake."

He looked again. No. It wasn't a mistake. It really was the Girl on the poster. She did look different. On the picture, her hair wasn't white, but brown/blonde. And her ears were just the human round. Not pointed as they were now. How long had it been since he had dropped her in the canyon? Must be about five months now. He was angry. Really, really angry. She had deceived him all that time. The poster was quite old. Most of the information on it was unreadable so he couldn't find out much more about her. Only that her name began with a T. He had some questions for the Girl. And she'd better answer them. It would be better for her health.

She was sneaking through the bushes, her eyes never leaving the deer. With winter fast approaching, food was getting scarce. Not that it was a cold winter, with snow and such. No, she was to far south for that. But the animals were moving away and the plants were dying. She had prepared for that. She had stored large amounts of dried meat and vegetables in her cave. But fresh meat would make a nice change. Suddenly, all her instincts were screaming at her. Danger was approaching. Now the deer had sensed it to. It ran away. It was behind her! Dropping her makeshift spear, she began to turn round and started to draw her Katana. She was only half turned and her Katana only half out of its scabbard when something green hit her in the face. Her world exploded into pain.
