Queen Luana : Hey! Thank you so much for reviewing, guys! Kristi and VashandNaomiForever, you rock! By the way, Kristi, I guess it's pretty weird I'm going out with Krillin, but in this story I'm a generation older than Gohan so, that would be rather awkward right? Oh, by the way, this would be a good time to mention that in all my stories with Krillin he's, well, tall. Shorter than the average guy, but still taller then me, cos I'm short. Just to mention that since I always forgot to in the previous chapters.

Krillin: Yeah, I'm big! Bow for me!

Vegeta: Dream on, cueball.

Queen Luana & Krillin: SHUT IT VEGETA!

Time's running out

"See, he already found 4 dragonballs," Gohan said, indicating the four dots in the same place, moving around on the radar-screen. "It'll be a matter of time before he tracks us."

"You think he's got some sort of device?" Tien asked. I shrugged.

I wasn't what you called happy since Bulma ordered me to stay in bed. It was already the third day in a row I hadn't left Kame House and I was getting seriously pissed. She knew well enough, it was obvious she was just teasing me. And above that, she had given me a haircut! Yes, a haircut! Didn't she know Saiyan's hair doesn't change? It would never grow back! And my hair now barely reached my shoulders, can you believe it?

"I'd be amazed if he found them by mere coincidence," I muttered touching my hair. "So yeah, I guess he has some device." God damn it, it's so short! Bulma enterred the room and placed a plate next to my bed.

"Here's your tea," she said sweetly.

"You must see me as a complete morron if you think I'm touching that," I said glaring at her.

She sniggered and sat down with the others. "So, what're we talking about?"

"Who's gonna buy presents for who at Christmas," Krillin said sarcasticly. "Ji, duh."

Bulma grumbled and stood up. "Fine, I didn't want to know anyway!" she said and left the room.

"Man, what's her problem?" Goku mumbled.

Yamcha grinned. "Guess it's the time of the month again, heheh- OUCH!" He painfully rubbed the back of his head and I caressed my fist.

"That's for insulting women." I smacked him another time. "And that's for assuming it."

Yamcha quickly settled himself down behind Goku, out of my reach. "Now I know what was bothering me!" Krillin suddenly cried. "We can't use earth's dragonballs to wish Vegeta back!"

I turned pale. "What?" I mumbled.

"Hey, don't worry, I said earth's," he quickly continued. "We'll have to go to Namek to bring him back."

I relaxed. "Oh... Hang on a sec, why won't earth's dragonballs work?"

"Because Vegeta's already been wished back ones," Tien explained. "You can only make the same wish once." I carefully took the dragonball from underneath my pillow. It shined in the sunlight as I twirled it around in the palm of my hand.

"It won't be long before Ji will come to claim this."

"I think we oughta contact Mr. Piccolo," Gohan said and Kakarot, God damn it, Goku nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a flash." He placed his index and middle finger at his forehead and one sec later he was gone.

"What-the?" I cried in disbelieve. He truelly was gone. I didn't sense his Ki anywhere near. "Where'd he go?"

"Go get Piccolo, I guess," Krillin said, not amazed at all.

"Yeah, well, h-how did he..."

"Oh, that's just one of Goku's little tricks," Yamcha smiled. "Travels faster than the speed of light." The next moment Goku (yeah) and Piccolo appeared back in the room.

"I understand you need my help?" Piccolo grunted in the same low rough voice.

"Sure do," Krillin said, tossing the dragonball from one hand to another.

After telling the entire story, Piccolo didn't even blink. "So you want me to help you protect that dragonball?"

"Yeah, we don't quite know what his intentions are, but you can never be too sure," Goku said.

"Guys! We got movement!" Gohan cried holding up the radar. "Ji's moving right this way."

"Good, I was starting to long for some action!" I said jumping out of bed. That woman must have a sixth sense. I was just about to pull on my shoes when the door slammed open and Bulma barged in.

"Oh no you're not! You need to rest!" she snapped and pushed me back down.

"What're you talking about!" I screamed. "Bulma, this is war!"

"Oh, you think I care?"

"WHY WON'T YOU JUST-"

"Red alert," Yamcha mumbled and they all left the room.

Donwstairs they could all hear the screams upstairs.

"I'm going to fight!"

"No you're not!"

More screaming. "Women scare me," Yamcha mumbled. Moments later I came down the stairs. They all stared at me.

"She poisoned the tea again," I said and left Kame House. They all nodded as understanding.

We didn't have to wait that long. After about ten minutes I could clearly sense Ji approaching. "Don't be fooled, he's great at hiding his powerlevel," I told them and they nodded. I tossed the dragonball to Yamcha. He catched it wiuth both hands. "Guard it with your life." He swallowed and nodded.

"He's here," Piccolo muttered and as I looked up at the sky I could see the Ygarian hanging there. He landed in front of us.

"My my, how many of you. And Princess Luana as well, how pleased to see you here."

"The feeling isn't likewise," I grumbled. He smiled. I noticed the bag around his shoulder and assumed it contained all four of his dragonballs.

"You want this don't you?" Ji grinned and tapped the bag with his one hand. "Alright, what do you say we fight over it. One-on-one match, if you win, you get these dragonballs. If I win, I get yours."

"Luana, don't accept!" Goku cried.

"Deal," I already said and could hear him falling to the ground. Ji grinned even wider and held out his hand. I took an alarmed step backwards.

"If you make a deal, you shake hands, Princess."

"Luana don't! It's a trick!" Goku still cried. With clenched teeth I grabbed Ji's hand, making sure I squeezed it tightly. He only smiled.

"Final chance Luana, marry me."

"Never," I snapped.

"You'll regret it," he said sadly.

"Watch me." We let go.

Ji looked at the others. "And don't even think about interfiering."

"Why you scared?" I scoffed.

"Course not," he said coolly. He took the bag from his shoulder and threw it behind him, into the ocean. "And don't try to go get them." Yamcha tightly clutched our only dragonball in his fist.

"LET'S GO!" I shouted and went Super Saiyan. What I found the only plus on having shorter hair was it now looked less ridiculous when in Super Saiyan mode. But then again, that was the only plus.

Ji looked slightly surprised. "So, that idiotic Saiyan legend was actually true? Remarkable... Pitty you didn't accept my offer, Princess Luana," he said shaking his head sadly. "Please forgive me..." He grinned. "But now you'll die."

Queen Luana: Like uh, not!

Vegeta: Luana! I have come to bring you a message! FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE!

YOU SUCK!

Queen Luana: He always flicks it, one way or another. (shakes head sadly)
