Usagi watched as Ami and Mamoru dug up the time pad that she just buried. Rei held her so she wouldn't start freaking out and hurt someone. She didn't resist the hold. She was too frightened to move. Her legs were weak and she felt very faint. She didn't know what she would do if she were to get stuck in the past. She would never see anyone that she loved again. Tears began to weld up in her eyes. "We can fix it if it's broken, can't we Ami? Please tell me we can."

Ami dug as fast as she could. She didn't want to be stuck in the past either. "I hope so. But we used a lot of the newest parts to build it. They are very advanced and I don't know if we could scrounge up anything remotely close to them in this time." She continued digging until her hand hit against something hard. She pulled back her hand, as the metal was too hot for her to touch. "I think I found it. But it's still really hot from the burning. Can you pull it out for me Mamoru."

Mamoru put his hand down into the dirt where Ami just had. He too felt the hot metal against his hands. "It is hot isn't it?" He took a deep breath and pulled the black box out of the dirt, immediately throwing to his side due to the burning sensation that it produced in his hand. "Damn, that thing really did catch on fire good."

Usagi glared at Mamoru. He wasn't making the situation any better by making stupid comments like that. She looked over to Ami. "Ami, go see if it works." She pulled a bottle of water out of her bag. "Here put this on it to make it cool off faster."

Ami stood up and grabbed the bottle of water from her friend. "Thanks Usagi." She could see the fear and anxiety in Usagi's eyes. She felt horrible for her. Usagi always liked to act really outgoing, but she was really just an insecure person. And in situations like this, it always showed through.

Ami walked over to the 'time jumper' and gazed down at it. The flames had been totally put out, now the only thing left to do was to make sure that there wasn't very much internal damage. If there wasn't much, then they may be able to get it to work one more time so they could go home and put this behind them. She opened up the bottle and held it out over the burnt box of metal. "Well, here it goes you guys." She knew that the water wouldn't hurt it. They had made it to not have any kind of reaction to the water, just in case of emergencies. She tipped the water over and slowly let it drip out of the bottle on to the time pad. It sizzled as it hit, while cooling the metal down to a reasonable temperature.

Rei let go of Usagi and grabbed her own arms. "Ami, don't use all of that water. My arms hurt. I want to put some of that on until we can get some cream or something to put on them." She looked at her arms. The skin on them seemed to be shriveling up, and getting rather hard.

Ami turned her head to Rei. "What's wrong with your arms?" She stopped pouring the water and looked down to her friend's arms. "What happened? When did your arms get burned? Why didn't you tell me?" She ran over to Rei, throwing the bottle of water to Mamoru, and took her arms into her hand. "This looks really bad. We need to put something around them to keep dirt from getting on them and infecting them." She looked around for anything to use.

"Ami, it's ok. I'm fine. Really."

"Nonsense. This is bad." She looked back to Mamoru. "Can you get me the water?" She turned back to Rei as she pulled her jacket off. "Here, wear this. I don't have any gaze or anything for you. Just keep your arms protected. But wait until I can get some water on you." She looked back to Mamoru, who was running back to her.

Usagi wasn't paying attention to what the others were doing. She was more concerned with getting home. She didn't care what she had to do to get home, she just wanted it so badly. She crawled over to the time pad. She was afraid to touch it for she didn't want to ruin it even further. 'Come on, please work still.' She picked it up and brought it close to her face. The screen that told what year they were in was shattered into a thousand tiny pieces. "Uh-oh. This can't be good." She pressed the power button. Surprisingly, it came on. "IT WORKS!" She jumped to her feet. "IT WORKS! IT REALLY WORKS YOU GUYS!" Usagi was so overjoyed. She didn't have to worry about not being able to go home again.

Rei got a sudden pain flash through her temples the minute Usagi yelled out. 'What is this feeling I'm getting?' She looked over to Usagi. Ami and Mamoru were already on their way to check out the time pad. "Usagi, are you serious. You mean we can go home?" She threw Ami's jacket on and ran to Usagi. She couldn't believe it. She would be able to go home after all. She never wanted to time jump again. It was too risky.

Ami grabbed the pad from Usagi and examined it. The main screen had in fact come on. It was a miracle. She turned it over and pulled of the panel from the back. "Everything looks normal." She clipped the panel back in its place and turned it over again so she could look down onto the screen. She didn't think that it would have worked after being caught on fire. She had herself convinced that they would have to stay in the past forever. "Let's go home you guys. I think I've had enough surprises for one day. What about you Usagi."

"Do you even have to ask? Maybe we shouldn't mess with time anyways. I just want to get out of here and go home. I don't even care if I get in trouble. I deserve to get in trouble anyways." She looked around to her friends, who all stared at her as if she were crazy. They had never once in their lives heard from her mouth, those last words. "You guys let's get out of here."

Ami nodded. Once she didn't hear protest from Mamoru or Rei, she turned the dial to their own time. "Ready you guys? On three. One…tw…"

"No!" Rei jumped out at Ami and slapped the time pad out of Ami's hands, sending it flying into the air. Before it even landed, it exploded.

Usagi felt her legs giving way beneath her body. She all of a sudden felt very heavy. "Wha..wha..what…happened? Why did it do that?" She looked over to Rei. "How did you know that it would do that?!" Her voice was shaky from fear. There was no way home. She realized it now. There was no way that she would be able to see her family again. There was no way to fix it either.

Rei stared at the area that the flaming piece of metal fell. She didn't know how, but for some reason, somehow, she knew that it was going to blow up at that precise moment. "I don't know. I kind of saw it in my head. Like a premonition. We would have been badly injured, if not killed by the explosion."

Mamoru stomped his feet on the ground. "DAMMIT! What the hell are we going to do now."

Usagi fell to her knees, followed by her face. "This can't be happening. I'm not supposed to be here. Why did this happen? Why? Why? Why? WHY!?" With each 'why' Her voice rose and her fist violently pounded against the ground. She was angry with herself. It was her idea to go into the past. She had gotten her friends involved too. And no one in the future knew that they were there either.

Ami knew that there was no hope to revive the time device. It was impossible. It had exploded in the air and was now furiously burning. The flames fed on the air around it. She didn't know how they would return home. She didn't think that Bulma had the materials to make them another one. She only knew of one alternative. "What about the Dragon Balls?"

Usagi sat up and smiled. She wiped her tears away from her face. "You're a genius Ami. We can use the wish from the Dragon Balls and go home. Why didn't I think of that? That means we can still save daddy, and go home."

Mamoru shook his head. "No good Odango. Father told me about the wish of the Dragon Balls. Although we get two wishes on ours, the past only gets one because Dende is not Kami yet. He hasn't made the new Dragon Balls. If we use them to save your dad, then we have to wait a year before we can gather them up again and wish to go home."

"Meaning," Ami interrupted, "That we will be gone an equivalent of one day back home. We will definitely get in trouble then. They won't find us for one day and get worried. Do you want to risk that Usagi?" Ami checked her wristband to make sure it was still working, which it was. She didn't want to stay a year and age. What would her mother do? She would freak out if her daughter left home eight years old, and then come back nine years old.

"I don't care. It's only one day. We're going to get in trouble anyways." She jumped to her feet. "So let's get the Dragon Balls and wish that daddy never gets that stupid heart virus. We can go home later. We're probably already in trouble anyways. Let's just enjoy ourselves while we can." Usagi was once again happy. She knew that she would be going home in a year and had nothing to worry about, she hoped.

Mamoru snorted. "Odango, you are so dumb you know that? You purposely put yourself in situations that, you very well know, will get you in trouble. Yet you still get upset when your mother yells at you. I fail to see the logic in this."

Usagi giggled. "And you never will either. What I do is my own business. Now come on. Let's go get the Dragon Balls so we can save dad." She pulled out the Dragon Ball radar from her bag and turned it on. "Looks like dad has one. I know he likes to keep at least two or three in the house just in case someone tries gather them. Then if they want them for something bad, they have to go through him to get it."

Rei thought that it was a very good idea, although, she found a flaw within it. "Um, Usagi. You want us to go to your house, where your mother is? Gohan might even be there. Or worse, your dad. We don't want make contact with them do we? We've already messed with one timeline."

Ami took the Dragon Ball radar from Usagi and studied it carefully to get the exact location of all seven balls. "Well, actually, we may have to talk to them after all. Remember, we are going to be staying here for a year. We will need a place to stay. We can meet them, just not tell them who we are." She looked over at Usagi. "No slip ups this time either. Unless you really have a need to tell them, don't."

Usagi was a bit confused. "But, we have to tell them that we're from the future. I want to warn them about the androids. If I do, then they will have a chance to train harder just like they did in our time. They don't stand a chance against the androids and Cell if they don't. At least, that's what dad said."

Mamoru was completely lost. He knew that Usagi wanted to save her father, but he was a bit fuzzy on what was going to happen. His own father hadn't really told him much about the past. The only thing that he ever said was that the earth had been threatened by many beings of evil and that him and his friends had to save it all the time. "Well I don't really care what happens. As long as I get to see Goku's true potential, I will be happy. I want to fight him. I want to prove to my father that I can beat him."

Usagi rolled her eyes. "Please Mamoru. I can't even beat dad when he's a Super Saiyan. I've never tried. I'm not even up to his level when he's not a Super Saiyan. Now tell me, if I can beat you, and not dad, how can you beat him?"

Mamoru grinned. "I can beat him. Don't worry, I will be victorious." He turned to Ami. "Now, about these Dragon Balls…"

"The closest ones are in fact the ones at Usagi's house. It's about thirty miles from here. The next closets one is about one hundred miles from here. We are going to have a long way to go after that. They are really spread out. One is even in another country I think." Ami looked over to Rei. "I think we should stop off in the city first to get something for your arm."

"Why worry? Mom always keeps things for wounds. She has to. With me and dad always coming home with cuts and bruises it's kind of something that we need. I have a plan to get the Dragon Balls too. See, what we do is go to my house. Mom will most likely be there. So all we say is that Rei burned herself putting out a fire in the forest or something and ask if we could have anything for the burns. Mom will want to help. Believe me, she always does. So while she is fixing Rei's burn, I'll sneak around the house and find the Dragon Ball. Dad usually keeps one in his room, and one in the kitchen. I have the third one that he gave to me, but since I'm not born yet, it wont be there."

Mamoru was pretty amazed with Usagi's plan. It was better then anything that he could have thought up in the small amount of time that she had. "Wow Odango. Your brain IS tickin in there isn't it?" He knocked on her head.

Usagi frowned as she pulled away. "Why do you always have to make fun of me Mamoru? You're so mean?"

Mamoru smiled. "Because you're so easily made fun of. You leave yourself wide open for it. You don't have any common sense what so ever."

Usagi clenched her fist as she started to walk closer to Mamoru. It was not unlike her to start a fight with him over the comments that he made to her. He was just downright rude most of the time. "I do to! I have more common sense then…"

Rei stepped in between Mamoru and Usagi as she put her hands out to each of their chests. They were both ready to fight each other and she could sense it. "Now stop it you guys. We don't have time for your petty little fighting. We have more important things to do, like get the Dragon Balls. I know you guys hate each other, but fight later." She looked up at Mamoru, he looked like he was about to hall off and hit both of them. She looked over at Usagi. She could see the want for fight in her eyes. When Usagi was provoked, she was quite a scary person. Rei learned that you never want to be in Usagi's way when she became angry. "Usagi, back down just this once. If you want to save Goku, we have to leave now. There's no telling what kind of trouble we will get in when we go to get the other Dragon Balls."

Usagi knew that Rei was right, but she hated to back down from Mamoru. The only reason why she did, however, was because she knew that her father would not approve of her starting a fight because of something Mamoru had said. Every single time that she did, she would get a lecture. Each time, the lecture would be longer. And each time, he would get angrier and angrier because she didn't listen to the last lecture. She never took her eyes of Mamoru. Without pulling her teeth apart, she began to open her lips. "Fine! Just make sure this freak doesn't talk to me anymore and I'll be completely happy." She released her tensed fist and brought her hand to her side. Although her body showed that she was completely relaxed, her eyes told a different story. She still wanted to beat the heck out of him, but she knew not to. She turned and looked to Ami. "I guess we should be going now. I want to get this done as soon as possible." She jumped into the air. "Nimbus! Come to me!" She hoped that it would come. After all, it didn't know who she was in this timeline. It may not answer to her calls since it was officially her father's cloud. She was relieved to see it flying to her. "Great. Ami, you can use Nimbus now." 'Now all we have to do is get her to train with us this year and everything will be good. It's not like her mom is here to stop us. Hehe.'

Nimbus landed on the ground, after Ami called it to her. She quickly climbed up onto it, with the bag on her back. She checked the Radar again. "Looks like Goku does actually have three at his house. Usagi, any ideas on where he would be keeping the third one?" Nimbus rose up into the air so she was at eye level with Usagi. Rei and Mamoru followed her up.

Usagi shook her head. The only reason why there was a third one at their house was because of the one that he had given her for her birthday. "I don't know anywhere that he would keep it. We'll have to search for it I guess." She slowly moved forward towards her house.

Mamoru shot out in front of Usagi. He always tried to show her up. "Odango, if you ever plan on getting there any time soon, we have to go a little bit faster. Come on guys." A golden aura surrounded him as he increased his speed to his fullest, leaving the girls behind.

Usagi frowned. She knew that she could fly much faster then him. "You cant beat me Mamoru!" She too was engulfed with a golden aura as she sped up to her maximum speed.

Rei sighed. "They can be so annoying sometimes. Always competing to be the best." She sped up to her fastest too, but was no match for Mamoru or Usagi. She flew at the same pace as Nimbus as the four went of on their adventure to gather the Dragon Balls to save Goku.

~*~*~

30 Miles later…

Usagi landed in the wooded area behind her house. She had barely beaten Mamoru. "I won! I won! Oh yeah!" She started to do a little victory dance to rub it in to Mamoru. She loved it when she was victorious over him.

Mamoru stared in annoyance at Usagi. "Shut Up Odango!"

Usagi stopped dancing around and stared at Mamoru as seriously as she possibly could. She continued to stare at him for about thirty seconds and burst out laughing. "I BEAT YOU!! AH HA HA HA!"

"I said SHUT UP!" Mamoru made a fist and punched Usagi right smack in the face, throwing her down to the ground. The one thing that he hated more then being beaten by Usagi was having her rub it in his face. She had a tendency to go way overboard. "That should shut you up." He crossed his arms just as Rei and Ami landed to his left.

Usagi grabbed her face, where it now stung. "You're so mean Mamoru. I hate you." She stood back up and looked him in the eye. He was laughing at her. She didn't think it was very funny. He was always so mean to her. She never could figure out why though. Ever since the first day they had met, he had been rude to her. She had done nothing, yet, he insisted on doing things to her. She turned around and ran for her house without a second thought.

Ami jumped off Nimbus. "Wait! We haven't even really talked about this yet! Usagi!" She began to run forward to try and catch her, but it was no use. Usagi was much faster then her. "Quickly you guys. I guess we're going with Usagi's plan about tricking her mother."

Mamoru grabbed Ami and quickly ran up to the house. He knew her and was pretty sure that she would knock on the door with or without them all being there. 'She is just too spontaneous. She needs to learn to stop that if she ever wants to be great fighter.' "Odango! You stupid idiot!" He noticed that she had already knocked on the door and Chi-Chi had already answered it.

Chi-Chi looked down at the little girl who stood before her. She noticed that she was fumbling with something behind her back. "Can I help you?"

Usagi quickly shoved her tail up under the skirt of her GI and prayed that her mother had not seen it. "Uh, yes, my name is…" 'Uh-oh, who should I say I am? What if she was the one who named me Usagi? What if she likes that name?' "Pan. My name is Pan." She looked to her right where Mamoru carrying Ami while Rei on his side. "These are my friends. The blue haired girl is Ami, the other girl is Rei, and that stupid jerk is named Mamoru." She stuck her tongue out at Mamoru as he place Ami down on the ground.

Chi-Chi looked around to the children. "That wasn't very nice of you. You should respect your friends."

Usagi sighed. She should have known better then to say something like that in front of her mother. She always did have a knack for ruining her fun. "Fine, fine. Anyways, my friend Rei burned her arms and we were wondering if you maybe possibly could have something to put on them?"

Rei took Ami's jacket off and revealed her arms. The pain had gotten worse on the way to the house. Her skin was now completely hard and it was beginning to blister. She didn't understand. She had taken many hits from Goku before and never gotten burnt. But he had used his full power on his attack. That had to be it. She held out her arms in front of Chi-Chi.

Chi-Chi gasped. She had never seen anyone with such a bad burn. Well, no one that wasn't associated with her family or friends. "You poor child. Come right in. All of you. Just be careful not to disturb my son. He's in with a tutor right now. Please follow me." She turned around and walked into the house, leaving the door open behind her.

Usagi looked to her friends as she grabbed the bag from Ami. "Ok you guys. I'll follow you in and then sneak to dad's room. Gohan told me about the tutor. He wont let Gohan out so I wont have to worry about him. Seeing me." Usagi remembered to the time when Gohan had told her about the tutor. He was warning her never to let her grades slip so bad to where she would have the need to get one. Usagi had been scared out of he wits about tutors after that. And now she had the chance to meet him. But she didn't want to. She would avoid it as much as possible.

Rei and Ami followed Chi-Chi into the house, while Mamoru just stood and stared at Usagi while he shook his head. "You really are an idiot Odango. You didn't even wait for us to get here. You could have screwed the whole thing up. What's going through your head these days? Wait a minute, what's going on in your head any day?" He snickered to himself and walked in the door and shut it before Usagi had a chance to go in.

Usagi clenched her teeth. She wanted to break the door in and kick Mamoru's butt, but she couldn't. Her mother would kill her and then there go her chances of getting the Dragon Balls. She resisted her temptation to break the door and walked to the back side of the house, where the window of her parents room was. They always left it open to always have a fresh circulation of air in the house and. She raised herself up to the window and pushed it in. She carefully, and quietly let herself slip into the room. It looked a little different then her parents' room in the future. The layout was the same, but there weren't nearly as many pictures in it and the furniture was a lot different. She knew exactly where to go to find the Dragon Ball. Her father had told her where he hid them just in case something happened to him and she had to get them out to make a wish. She hoped that nothing would ever happen to him though.

She quickly ran to the bed and knelt down for it. "Please be here. Please don't have a different place then the future." She put her hand between the mattress and the box spring and felt around until her fingers ran across a smooth glossy surface. "Bingo!" She grasped the ball in her hand and pulled it out to her face. "It's the six star ball. Cool!" She put the ball into he book bag and quickly ran out of the room. She didn't have time to waste. She didn't know how long Rei would keep her mother busy with getting her arms fixed up.

She ran out into the living room where she saw the door to her room slightly open. She tip-toed close to it. Inside, she could hear the voices of her brother and an older man. 'That stupid tutor must be in there right now.' She stood with her back against the wall, and poked her head around the door to see her brother sitting at his desk, being whipped by Mr. Shuu. "Ouch." She whispered. But not quiet enough.

Mr. Shuu turned around and frowned at Usagi. "Who are you girl? Do you need to be disciplined too?"

Usagi looked up at Mr. Shuu's face. "Yikes?" She pulled her head back and ran away from the room. She hoped and prayed that Gohan hadn't seen her. She ran down the hallway passed the bathroom, where she could hear Rei making up a story about why she was so badly burned. 'Great going Rei. Just keep it up and we will have the Dragon Balls in no time. But I just wish I knew where daddy hid the last one. Gohan doesn't have it. I know that for a fact. Gohan never really got his back after they used it.' She quietly snuck passed the bathroom so her mother wouldn't hear her and into the kitchen. "No, how do I get behind the refrigerator without making too much noise?" She pondered for a moment. "That's a little heavy for me to lift by myself. Even if I am strong, I'm not THAT strong." She walked over to it and examined it. "I guess I could give it a try." She put her hands on either side of the white box and started to lift with all her might. "Come on you stupid thing. Move. I need the Dragon Ball." She reached far down into her reserves and lifted harder and harder. "Oh don't be difficult please!" She could feel it start to give way. It was slipping from it's spot, making a loud screeching noise.

Chi-Chi came out of the bathroom. "What's that noise?"

Rei, knowing that there was trouble, jumped down of the counter and grabbed Chi-Chi by the arm. "Oh Ms. Chi-Chi, I'm sure it was nothing. Please come back in here for a minute."

Chi-Chi looked down at Rei and lifted an eyebrow. She knew that there was definitely something up with these kids. One of them was missing. The girl named Pan wasn't present with the rest of them. "It came from the kitchen." She pulled her arm away from Rei and began walking to the kitchen.

Rei looked back at Mamoru and Ami and shrugged. They hadn't wanted to make trouble, but it seemed a little unavoidable anymore. "USAGI HURRY UP!" She darted out of the bathroom and ran past Chi-Chi. Usagi was almost to the point of passing out when she got in. "That's too heavy to move by yourself. Come on, we have to blast it. She's coming." She looked behind her at the doorway that led out of the room. In it, stood Chi-Chi, angry as ever. "Uh, hi?"

Usagi leaned against the fridge and panted heavily. She was warn out. She had been strong, yes, but she still wasn't able to lift the darn thing. "I'm too tired Rei."

Chi-Chi was fuming made. Her she had let these children come into her home and they repaid her by destroying her home. But she wasn't totally stupid. She knew what they were after. "GOHAN! GET OUT HERE!" She would have Gohan teach them a thing or two about trying to steal a Dragon Ball from their family.

Mamoru ran up from behind Chi-Chi. "Want me to knock her out?" He grinned at Chi-Chi. He didn't particularly care for her. He found her to much of a complainer when things didn't go exactly how she had planned. She was also too much of an over protective mother.

Usagi shook her head. "NO! Now come and help me move this thing Rei." She began to push again, hoping that it would budge. She didn't want her brother to come out and start a fight with them. "It just wont budge." She could see the Dragon Ball behind it, but it wasn't reachable. They just needed to push it out a little bit further.

Gohan ran out of his room and down the hallway to see a strange girl about his age standing behind his mother. "What is it mom? What's wrong?" He could sense a large power level coming from the kitchen. "Are they trying to get the Dragon Ball?" He didn't wait for his mother to answer. He knew what the answer was. 'That girl, she must have already gotten the Dragon Ball from dad's room.

Gohan pushed past his mother and let himself into the kitchen. It was just as he had thought. They were trying to get to the Dragon Ball. "Hey you guys! Stop it now! If you want that ball, you have to go though me first!" He stood in his fighting stance. He would do anything to protect his home, and earth. He had protected it from Garlic Jr., and he would protect it from these people too. They weren't nearly as strong as any of the other enemies that they had fought in the past.

Usagi let go of the fridge and looked at her brother. He looked a lot different now. Before, he was much smaller then her and didn't have very many muscles, but now, he was taller then her and was well built. He was beginning to look like the Gohan she knew. "Look, we don't want this for a bad purpose so just leave us alone."

Gohan was baffled. He didn't understand why the girl's Ki felt so much like his father's. "I don't care what you want it for. Those balls are only used for emergencies. So get away from them. You can give back the one that you stole from my father too." He could tell that Usagi wasn't about to move from her spot. "I don't want to have to fight you, but I will."

"Please, just let us take the balls." Usagi grabbed the fridge once again and began to push on it. It screeched some more as it started to give way.

Gohan frowned. "Some people never learn. I'm sorry mom." He put his hands together and built up a small Ki blast in them. "I said move away!" He fired it just above Usagi's head.

Usagi looked back at her brother. He was serious. She should have known better then to not take him seriously. He always was serious when it came to these kinds of things. "Hey…"

"Why don't you go back to your damn studying kid! No one cares about what you have to say." Mamoru stepped in front of Gohan. He didn't like him either. Actually, he didn't really like anyone from Usagi's family. Including her. "Just go back to your mommy and…"

Mamoru was cut off by Gohan's fist plowing into his stomach. Gohan glared down at him. "I said leave and I meant it!"

"Go Gohan. Mommy's proud of you."

He glared over at Rei, who coward away from him. She didn't want to get hit as Mamoru was. He had way more power then she did. He was probably just as strong, or maybe a little bit stronger then Usagi. He stepped closer to Usagi. "If you don't want to get hurt, I suggest you leave now."

Usagi backed up until her back was to the wall. She could barely match his power. He had been through more fighting then he had and was therefore stronger then her. She had pretty much trained all her life and fought with Kiro, which wasn't that much of a fight. He had been through Garlic, Frieza, and the Saiyans. He had much more skill then her. If they were to fight, she knew that she probably wouldn't come out as the victor. "Just let us use them and we wont do anything…"

Gohan stopped just ten inches in font of her. "Tell me why you didn't just tell us that you needed the Dragon Balls?"

Mamoru pushed himself off the ground with great pain. Gohan's punch had done much more then knock the wind out of him. "Because Odango here is a dumbass and has no common sense."

Usagi frowned at Mamoru. "Stop it already! Your so mean!" She looked back to Gohan, who didn't seem to be phased by their argument. "We didn't think…"

"That's right, you didn't think." Gohan wasn't going to let them have the balls for anything. He had been instructed by his father not to let anyone have the balls unless it was a life or death situation and the earth was at stake. "Now give me the ball that you have already stolen and I will not hurt you." He held his hand out.

Usagi looked to Ami for answers. She knew that if anyone would know what to do, it would be her. She always knew what to do. She was a little shocked when Ami nodded, telling her to give him the ball. "Ami, but…"

"Just do it Usagi." Ami knew that they would probably be running into them again later. She needed to think of a plan to get them it back though. A plan that did not involve telling them who they were. But if they did have to say who they were, they would just have to live with it.

Usagi sighed. She was sure that Ami knew what she was doing. She looked back to Gohan. "Fine. You win." She pulled her bag off her back and unzipped it. "I hope you know what you're doing Ami." She dug deep into the bag and pulled out the six star Dragon Ball. She could have cried when she sat it into her brother's hand. That ball was part of her hope. Her hope to save her father. Her hope to be born in this timeline. And her hope of getting home.

Gohan clasped his hand around the ball. "Now get out of our house." Gohan jumped back. All of a sudden, out of no where, he felt something coming towards earth. "What the…this can't be. That's Freiza's energy I'm feeling. But dad killed him on Namek."

Usagi groaned. 'Yes! Daddy should be coming home soon then. Then I can talk to him.' She couldn't let them know that she knew who Freiza was. She looked around to her friends. "Come on guys. Let's get out of here." She slowly walked to the doorway that led out of the room and held her head low. Her mother stepped to the side and willingly let them out of the room.

Gohan was dealing with a crisis of his own. He didn't know what was happening. Freiza was coming to earth. He didn't know how. He should have been dead. He didn't know what they were going to do either. There was no way that they could kill him. No one was strong enough to kill him. His dad wasn't on earth to help protect it. 'Dad, where are you?' He turned to his mother. "Mom, I've got to go!"

Chi-Chi frowned. "Oh no you don't mister. You're staying right here and getting a good education."

Usagi turned around just as everyone else was leaving the house. "Just let him go. It's for the good of the earth." She turned and walked out of the house before she even got a reply from her mother. She felt horrible. She had just been pretty much kicked out of her own home by her brother and mother. Granted the didn't know who she was, but it still hurt.

Gohan ran out of the kitchen. "Sorry mom. I gotta go. She's right. Earth is in trouble. I've gotta help it." He ran to his room where Mr. Shuu was impatiently waiting for him. "Sorry. I gotta go." He pulled out his fighting suit from Namek from under his bed.

Mr. Shuu nearly had a conniption when he heard Gohan say this. "Excuse me, but your mother is paying me to teach you and taught is what you shall be. So sit down and hit the books."

Gohan ignored his tutor. He didn't care what he thought. He quickly changed into his fighting gear and jumped out the window. "Sorry but earth needs to be saved!" He looked down to the ground, where he saw the strange kids that had tried to steal the Dragon Balls. He hoped that they wouldn't try anything else while he was away.

Usagi looked up just as her brother flew overhead. "I don't like it here you guys. It's too different. I want to go home." She sat down on the ground.

Mamoru stood by her. "Oh yes. So now you want to go home! Who was it that wanted to come all the way to the past to save her father? Honestly Odango, you think you'd learn."

Usagi didn't know that all this horrible stuff was going to happen. If she had, she would have stayed home. She didn't want to be here anymore. She wanted to go home, to be with her family. "It doesn't really matter because I have to finish what I started. I have to save daddy." She pulled up some grass and put it on her leg.

"Usagi, if we are going to save Goku, then we have to take action now. I can't think of anyway to save him unless we have the Dragon Balls, and it doesn't look like we are going to be able to get them all without going through your family first."

Usagi looked up at Ami. "So what are you saying? That we tell them that I'm their daughter after what we just pulled? They wouldn't believe us anyways. They would just think that I'm trying to get the Dragon Balls." She laid back on the ground. "It's hopeless. Mamoru's right. I can't do anything right. I can't even go home."

Mamoru smiled. "I'm glad you've come to terms with yourself Odango." He looked around to the girls. "Ok, you know what? Screw this. You guys can do whatever you want. But from what I hear, Goku will be coming here soon to fight Freiza and I want to see his power. I want to fight him. So guys can do whatever you want, but I'm going to the battlefield. Bye." He jumped into the air and took off as fast as he could, following Freiza's energy. It was a giant power and he had never felt anything like it. He liked it. He wanted to fell that type of power. That's the kind of power that he was going for.

(Ok, that's it for this part. What do you think? Good or bad? Please Review and tell me. Thanks.)
