A/N: Yikes! *Ducks just in time as many sharp objects along with rotting food are thrown at her* Sorry! I know it's been like… months since I've updated this, but I've been really busy! Plz don't hurt me! I would also like to point out that this is NOT a DBZ fic; I'm just using Ria who happens to be of a race of people from the show. I repeat: NOT a DBZ fic! Also, for ppl waiting for updates on Just a Game (soon to be re-titled "I Want to Change the World") they'll be coming soon, I've been working on ch 14 for a while (extensive writer's block) Again, I'm really sorry it took so long, and I hope ppl will still read it after all this time has passed… well I'm talking too much again, so I'm gonna shut up now.

 "Why do you have to go back?"
 "I just… I have to…"
 "Stay here."
 "I can't…"

 Once she got past her aggression, Miyo found that Ria was a good conversationist. She could tell Ria was only a few years older than herself, but (like Miyoko) acted much older than her age. Miyo guessed she had grown up under similar circumstances to what she had.

 Miyo had spent the better part of an hour explaining all that had progressed over the four years of her existence and turned to face Ria when she had finished.
 "I just don't see why you gotta go back," Ria concluded, "I mean this Kuja guy obviously doesn't want you there, and Garlic doesn't sound any better."
 "It's Garland…" Miyo corrected.
 "Garlic, Garland, same difference to me, I still don't get why you gotta go back."
Miyoko had intentionally left out her real reason for wanting to go back to Terra; that was her business, and no one else's.
 "My reason's are not important, the fact is, I need to get home."
Ria stared at her in disbelief; all she understood was that it was Miyo's job to destroy this 'Gaia' place.
 "Is your mission really that important to you?"
 "As a matter of fact, it's not." Miyo replied tartly, she had often disapproved of Garland's ways, yet didn't dare stand against him- not unless it concerned Zidane.
 "Well then, what is it? I mean I sure as heck wouldn't go back to a place like that…"
Miyo hesitated. It was her business, it didn't concern this girl she just met. But then, for some reason, despite all Ria had done to her Miyoko trusted her. She took a deep breath.
 "There is something I left out…" She said slowly.
 "I knew it!" Ria jumped up, "Someone special huh?" she nudged Miyo with her elbow and winked. Miyo, who didn't understand these expressions took a step back and cleared her throat.
 "I suppose you could say that." She could feel her cheeks burning and didn't understand what was happening.
 "You're turnin' all red!" Ria burst out laughing, "Just tell me who it is already!"
 "H-his name is Zidane…"
Ria blinked, "Well, that's an interesting name…"
 "I don't believe you're one to talk." Miyoko said defensively.
Ria glared and looked as if she were going to beat Miyo again, then smiled.
 "Y'know, you and me aren't that different." She looked up at the sky, "It'll be getting dark soon; we should find a place to camp out for the night."
 Miyo nodded and followed Ria.
 "This looks like a good place." Ria stopped and lay beneath a tree.
 "We can't just stay here!" Miyo protested, "We'll be eaten alive by Abadons and the like!"
 "By what?" The Saiyan girl looked thoroughly confused.
 "By monsters!"
Ria burst out laughing, "And here I thought you were more adult than that; no such thing as monsters stupid."
 Miyo blinked and looked around. (No monsters?) She thought to herself. (What kind of place is this?)
 She stood staring up at the sky and it finally sunk in how different everything was. There were so many colors on this planet, and the soft orange glow of the sunset reminded her of the Invincible. Thoughts of Terra danced across her mind, and she soon drifted off to sleep.

A/N: I know, short, yes… but I'm working on more chappies so stuffage… don't kill me in reviews, remember; constructive stuff and good reviews make me write/ flames only make me slower.
