Chapter
She opened her eyes as he took a step forward. From around the corner appeared a tall man. The first thing she noticed was his height, then his blood red eyes, then his face markings of blood red. They ran from the outside of his eyes, where his white helmet met his forehead, to the start of under his eyes and straight down to his jaw bone. His chin was purple along with the rest of his face. His legs were purple too and so were his arms and body. However his shins wore white armour. So did his chest and forearms. She saw him wave a long, large tail behind him, also purple. She then looked up him, then down. He had three toes on each foot. Also purple. Although he wore a lot of purple and white, he looked kinda...hot.
Her eyes met his and she looked down, embarrassed. She wore a scowl, looked up and away from him.
"About time you stopped hiding."
"Excuse me? Where did your manners go?"
"Away, along with my interest to see and talk to you."
"Why you cheeky bitch. You better watch your manners. Do not make enemies on you first day."
"Humph"
"I will let you off for now, but watch your manners in future. I was really hurt by your comment."
She had been acting the same way her father acted when caught off guard or embarrassed. Tough and unwavering. But after he said she had hurt him, she soon returned to normal.
"I am sorry, I just, I mean, I was told to keep my guard up here and." She stopped when she saw he was smirking. He had been sarcastic and she hadn't picked up on it. He seemed to soften as she became nicer. That didn't last. She didn't like the way he had been smirking. And scowled again, this time turning her back from him completely. He became frustrated.
"Look, I was being arsy with you because you were being arsy with me first. When you went nice I was about to say don't worry about it. But now you seem to be stropy again so I will not be nice. Your choice. I can be quite the bastard if you make me be. I am, if given reason. If you are pleasant, so am I. now, let's start again. I am the Master on duty. Are you the newby?"
"If you mean am I the new Lady, then yes. My name is Lady Cellina, daughter of Lord Vegeta, overseer of the Saiyan race and united planetary council. And you are?" she turned to face him, still looking at him smugly. For some reason, she didn't trust this guy and wasn't about to be 'nice' to him. Not yet anyway.
"No one really. Here, let me get your bags, it is a long journey from the planet Vegeta to this quadrant of the galaxy. How long was it, a Month?"
"Just about." Really, she had no clue, but thought if she just said just about, he would drop it.
"You must be tired, I saw the ship you came in. very small." He took her bags and threw them over his shoulder. He began to walk like they weren't even there. He was strong. "Follow me; I will take you to your Dorm room."
In silence, Cellina crossed her arms and 'huffed'. She followed him, making mental notes of the path they took. A left, then a right, another left, and another, down a flight of stairs and up another, into an elevator and through a huge set of doors. The guy that simply said he was 'no one' opened the doors and held them for her. Through the doors was what looked to be a common room. Lots of people were just sat on chairs and lounges. And when I say people, I mean beings. Some were Saiyan, all men though. The others were either bright pink and lean, or white and pink or purple. The white and pink or purple ones reminded her of Master 'no one'. They looked like the same race as him, but they all looked different. Like humans were all different. Speaking of humans, there were none.
So much for there being humans.
Just then a small waddling infant ran over to them. The Master on duty (MOD) dropped her bags and went to embrace him. He looked like a mini him, but, more lady like...
She had no time to think on it further as the young toddler ran past the MOD and straight at her. It clung to her leg and she almost lost her balance. She looked down at him. He was white and pink. Not chubby but small, very small. He had a black spike coming out of each side of his head and a tail that was pink, along with pretty much else. Even his lips were bright purple. He beamed up at her and she couldn't help but smile at his innocence. She kneeled down, breaking his hold and put her hands on his shoulders.
"And what is your name young one?"
"Fweeezaaaaaa!" she couldn't understand him because he giggled as he said it. So it sounded very, giggly.
"Very nice to meet you, I'm Cellina. Pleased to meet you." She smiled at him and she held her hand out to him. However he didn't take it. Instead, he ran at her and hugged her waist. He let her go and raised his hands up in the air.
"Up, up, up peeeeezzzz" she smiled at him. She loved children. She wanted to have many children one day.
"Okay, up you go." She took him in her arms and forgot everyone in the room. Cellina spun around in a circle with him and he made various wee and yay sounds. She stopped and rubbed her nose against his he giggled and wrapped his arms around her neck. She smiled and returned the hug.
"U fun Cewena. Wiw u be my sisturw?"
"Well, I don't know. Are you a good boy?"
"Yep!"
"Do you do as you are told?"
"Yep yep!"
"And are you ticklish?"
"Yep yep, whait?" she tickled his sides with her tail and tickled him madly. His giggles drew everyone's attention, well everyone apart from the MOD, he had been watching in awe from the moment the infant had past him.
"Do you submit?"
"Nevwer" she shifted him so he was sat on one of her hips and used her tail and free hand to tickle him.
"Now do you submit?"
"Ok OK I gwiv up."
"Good. She stopped tickling him and smiled at the infant she held on her hip. "And yes, I will be your sister if you like. Are you an only child?"
"No actually." They both looked up to see the MOD with his arms folded and grinning at them. "He has an older brother." He took a step forward and she heard the toddler giggle.
"Oh really? Who?"
"Me." His grin became larger and he took another step. He leaned forward and whispered to her. "So the only real way you will become his sister, is through me." He started to chuckle at the abundance of red tinge in her cheeks. "Hay, don't worry I was kidding, relax." He waved his hands to reassure her. "Your room is that one." He pointed to her room across the way and looked back at her. "May I?" He opened his arms and looked at his little brother.
"Oh yes, of course." She moved her hip so that he could take him from her but the child simply jumped off and ran down the hall. "I thought you had to be just before or just after your 21st moon to be sent here?"
"You do, but our dad lives here, and has a lot of influence."
They walked in silence to her room and didn't say anything until the door was shut. He turned round addressed her. "My name, do you know it?"
"No."
"So, you really don't know who I am, it would explain your attitude earlier. But that doesn't matter now. I have seen that you are very sweet."
"Thanks." She blushed, wishing he hadn't just called her sweet. "kids bring it out of me."
"Well back to my name, I suppose I should introduce myself." He stepped forward and took her hand. He kissed it and bowed, making her blush. She planned to curtsy after him.
"I am pleased to meet you Lady Cellina. I am Prince Cooler, the future heir of, everything...
