CHAPTER 4 - A STUPID WISH (part 1)
Days slipped into weeks, weeks into months. Bailey was surprised to wake up one morning and find that she had been living with the Sons' for four months. On one hand it seemed like only yesterday that she had woken up in a strange world and on the other it seemed like she had never lived anywhere else.
The feeling of familiarity was still there, but it was such a common feeling that Bailey no longer paid it any attention.
Her training was going well, even her physical training was improving. She could now fly, and trained a bit with Vegeta and Goku. Bailey was a bit surprised to find that Vegeta had become a good friend. He was like another brother to her and she was pretty sure he saw her as a sister.
Goku on the other hand, Bailey wasn't sure how, but they had some how become a couple. They hadn't done anything … major. It had been one night when they had decided to walk home from the CC. They had been talking about politics (really romantic, huh? ;) ). When they had suddenly stopped … and kissed. Ever since then they had become a couple. Not publicly of course, since they weren't sure if they really were an 'official' couple. Bailey went to him when she was homesick, and he continued his secret training. 'Get a room you two' was the only relationship advice they got, and that came from Vegeta after one of their practices.
But still, four months? What must her family be thinking? Bailey felt the sadness come over her. But she pushed the thought of family and loved ones away. Today Goku was going to take her to a 'special' place. She wasn't about to make her homesickness ruin a perfect day.
She got up and started to got dressed.
Goku gently set her on the ground. "What are we doing here?" Bailey asked. 'Here' seemed to be the middle of no where. Not a building or tree were in sight, but there at there in front of them appeared a man. Bailey gasped and jumped behind Goku. The man looked identical to Goku. "Who is that? Is that you?" Goku smiled and shook his head. Taking her hand he lead her toward his look alike.
"Bailey meet my great, great grandfather, Goku." Goku said smiling. "Grandpa, meet Bailey Lydia Leflet. The one I was telling you about." Bailey didn't know what to do. So she stepped forward and extended her hand.
"Nice to meet you," she greeted shaking his hand.
"You too," he said and Bailey was relieved to find that they didn't sound the same. Thank God, or is it Kami? "Goku told me about your problem. Now, we can't take you home because we don't know where your home is. Its either the past or it's a different dimension and if we send you into the wrong one it could be disastrous. But we thought that if you wanted we could show you what's going on right now."
It took Bailey a minute to realize what they were saying. Could she really see her family again? Pictures of their faces flashed in her mind and here eyes clouded over with unshed tears. "How?" She rasped out.
"These," Goku said as he opened a capsule to reveal six orange balls. Grandpa Goku put his orange ball into the pile and she was shocked to see a dragon come from them. Bailey was terrified. She would have thought she was crazy, but after all that she had been through, it wasn't that shocking.
Indeed the most shocking thing was when it spoke. It's voice was loud and seemed to rumble through the air, like an earthquake. The sky had darkened and the dragon looked very ominous. Bailey started to have some doubts. "What do you wish of me?" It asked.
Bailey looked at Goku (Jr.) and was surprised that he looked as shocked as she must have. Grandpa Goku on the other hand looked perfectly normal, as if nothing was unusual. He stepped forward, "Shenlong, we wish you could give us a glimpse of how Bailey's family is doing."
For a second the dragon's eyes were red, then they returned to normal as he said, "It is done." Suddenly she was flashed with images of her parents crying, then in the next they were older and seemed to be laughing about something. Next showed her two sisters studying. Another image of her little brother came, he looked so heart broken, that it hurt Bailey to know that she was most likely the cause of it, but in the next vision he was a year or two older watching TV and laughing. It ended.
They missed her, but they would move on. It finally hit Bailey that she would never be home again and she started to cry. She felt Goku (Jr.)'s arms wrap around her and she buried her head into his shoulder. Her family would be OK, she would be OK. But it still hurt. To know that things were never going to be the same again. Finally the tears slowed, and the dragon, Shenlong, spoke again.
"What will your second wish be?"
They looked at each other. Bailey hadn't known that there would be a second wish, and both Goku's had forgotten. Goku laughed, "I know if I made a wish. I'd wish that we could have met when me and the gang was still alive."
"Your wish has been granted," it said as a white light enclose them.
O.o. Goku is so dead when those two catch up with him!
Next Time: They land in the middle of DBZ and Bailey finally remembers why everything is so fimiliar!
