A/N: This story (except the first chapter) is set a little before and during the Android Saga. It's obviously not going to follow along the Android Saga exactly there's going to be some similarities and extreme differences. Also, Goku was sent to Earth later thereforeVegetsei didn't explode until later.Everything up tothe Android Saga has been the same as on the show.Hope you all enjoy!

I can see it your eyes you're hurting
But pain is part of learning who you are
All these truths can sometimes be deceiving
When your whole world comes crashing to the ground
Tell me everything you need now anything at all
And I will be the one who's waiting anytime you fall
Yeah, when you come undone
When you come undone
You know I can't be like everybody
'Cause I can't tell you what you want to hear
I don't know if I can make it better
All I know is I will be around
Tell me everything you need now anything at all
And I will be the one who's waiting anytime you fall
Yeah, when you come undone
When you come undone
When all your plans are made out lying on the floor
And all your dreams are turning into nothing more
When all your hope has left you know you're not alone
Just hold on
Hold on
Tell me everything you need now anything at all
And I will be the one who's waiting anytime you fall
Yeah, When you come undone
When you come undone
Lifehouse - Undone

There was a time when I was a child that I was innocent. That I knew nothing and I was just… just. Then it was all stolen away from me, in one swift blow. One word, one shot, and the feeling of power when I killed them. It had triggered his memories and feelings and then… then the rest is history.
It's amazing how calm it is here now, how I've managed to... find tranquility. My own house, my own life, mine. I fit in, and I can say that with confidence now. And it had all started with one little boy, one little sentence, 'Will you come to my birthday party?'
And then the happiness on his face when I showed up (Granted it was two or three years later on another birthday…). His mother, however, was less than thrilled of my presence. Of course.
The door opens and I look up from my place on the couch.
Training was hard as usual, I'm worn out, and after taking a shower I crashed here.
She looks at me with a knowing smile, or maybe it's a smirk. It's knowing whatever it is.
Five years ago they, her and two others, crashed landed here. I can remember thinking, 'Damn it, not more Saiyajins! I knew Radditz was stupid and didn't know much about others, but come on he had to of known about them!'
The look on Vegeta's face was all I needed to understand what was happening. He gaped at the three crawling out of their separate pods, his jaw hung open, and his eyes bulging out of their sockets. His lips moved, his jaw moved, but no words came from his throat.
My thoughts trail back to the woman at the door, "It's raining outside." She says softly raking her fingers through her hair and reties it up into a ponytail. Dark brown hair and green eyes the color of my skin; she grins stretching her arms over her head reminding me of a cat. The odd little black creature that roams around her apartment, the place I have currently broken into.
"Glad you didn't break the door this time." She says sarcastically.
I smirk sitting up, swinging my legs over the side of the couch, "Found your key. You shouldn't hide it in a fake rock, someone could break in."
She rolls her eyes and flops down on the floor, its carpet the same color as her blue gi, "Yea, someone." She says with the same sarcastic bite as before.
I shrug.
The others have been talking, they think I can't hear them but as I said before, 'My ears do more than just frame my face.' They say how I've changed, how I'm not that scary threat from before. How it's… better that I'm this way. I guess I've loosened up over the years, just like Vegeta even if he doesn't want to admit it himself. The three Saiyajins he wishes to ignore have influenced his life as much as it has influenced everyone else's.
Goku had come back long after the Saiyajins, and shortly after Marai Trunks took out Frieza and his father. He did the typical Son thing, smiled, waved, and said, 'Huh, so there are more of us. Go figure. It's nice to meet you all!' Then he laughed, Vegeta giving him the angriest look he could muster.
Back to the Saiyajin woman sitting before me; she crawls up on the couch next to me, her eyes staring at the floor intently. Arms circled around withdrawn knees, her chin resting on them. I've noticed, even after five years, she still has a hard time looking anyone in the eyes. It's something the Saiyajins punished lower class Saiyajins for, direct eye contact. It silently drove me crazy for a while, and then she told me showing me the long lean scars etched across her back. The look she gave me shortly after told me never to bring the subject up again, and I never did, I never will.
"You look like you have something on your mind." She says tilting her head to the side, her eyes focused on my chest.
I shake my head, "Just thinking." She gives me that look again, the same one she had given to me when she walked in. I breathe in sharply through my nose, the sound startling in the sudden silence that had taken residence here with us.
"'bout what?" Always the nosey one, but I'll tell her anyways.
For some reason, I feel like talking tonight.
