Mia was lazing about with Gohan beneath the shade of a tree. It was four o'clock when Chichi finally agreed to let the two go out and train, which they had done, for four hours straight. The pair where exhausted after their spar, though Gohan had the advantage due to his ability to fly, but he soon found that Mia had other ways to turn the fight in her favour.
"Huff, man you really know how to spar Gohan," Mia complemented from her spot beside Gohan.
"Yeah you too, I thought I had you there. But you really surprised me with that last......What was that by the way? I can't really call it an attack," Gohan said clearly annoyed that he had lost to the girl but curious about her moves.
"Ah well you remember that I told you about other worlds right?" she asked sitting up to look at him.
"Er yeah, but that last thing was kind of........Loony," Gohan replied not knowing how to quite put it. Mia smiled a bright smile. One that seemed to bright for what some would have taken as an insult.
"That's because it was looney," she said as Gohan sat up to look her in the eye. "See some people have an almost....a...Well I guess you can call it a sixth sense, in a way. See all words are connected to the void and every now and then cracks appear in the void transmitting dater or a better word history to some very sensitive people," she said trying her best to explain, "For instance erm..... Gosh how do I explain this ok imagine that you were in a fight with Frieza and that someone was watching you, but in another reality," she finished. Gohan looked to her with a confused expression.
"So someone is watching me? Right," Gohan thought trying to understand.
"Yeah but not all information is correct or, they may not remember it and then they end up spreading stories about your lives," she said. Her expression turned into a pout as she looked at Gohan's even more confused face.
"Oh I'm not explaining this very well, ok have you ever dreamed?" she asked him.
"Yes of course, I dream when I sleep, though they're more like nightmares," he replied with a frown, to which Mia gave a look of sympathy before continuing with her explanation.
"Right...Well the void can relay messages or a world's history into someone's dreams and sometimes people like these dreams so much, that they have to share the stories with everyone, so they write them down turning their dreams into fictional characters," she said hoping that explained it more.
"Wait so you're saying that, I'm a TV character?!" Gohan exclaimed.
"No what I'm saying is that somewhere in another reality there is a character based on you, but like I said before, not everything is written as the actually happen due to ratings or actors..."
"So someone knows about my training with Piccolo, about my life!? That's how you knew about me!" Gohan said in anger feeling his rights were being violated.
"Calm down, chances are that they only see a few rare events....to influence their stories, just because they write.....oh I don't know you suddenly die, doesn't mean it's going to happen, even if I've read the future of this world, which I haven't," she added making sure Gohan didn't get the wrong idea, "I wouldn't trust it because chances are that what I had read 67% of it was pure fiction," she said glad that he was sort of understanding it.
"So does that mean that what I've read of Shakespeare actually happened in some far away world?" Gohan asked feeling guilty about discussing someone else's life as if they didn't exist.
"No Shakespeare's books appear in every universe, as far as I know the one that exist are unique as in only one world has ever written about them because that the world the void sent the info to," she answered lying back down.
"Ok so what does that have to do with your 'attack'?" Gohan asked once he realized that she hadn't answered his question.
"Well as I am a connection to the void I can travel through the worlds, though I notice that there are no Mia chronicles floating about, actually I think only people who meet me face to face know me, but I could be wrong." She muttered before Gohan gave her a weird look, "Er anyway each world has their own structure, in some it's impossible to have the strength and power we do, in others you have vampires and demons, and...." she trailed off not wanting to give too much away, it was her secret after all but he did ask nicely, it occurred to her briefly that she probably wasn't the best person to confide in if the information was supposed to be confidential.
"And?" Gohan said trying to prompt her further.
"And some are just plain loony toony, like the Looney Tunes or half of the Disney world," she finished in a rush feeling embarrassed for some reason she wasn't sure of.
"Looney Tunes?" Gohan asked. Mia sweat dropped.
"You have no life Gohan, Looney Tunes are a TV show, a cartoon to be specific," she answered in a mocking way.
"Hey you've seen what my mum's like, beside how do you know they exist here, I thought you said they only existed in one world," Gohan asked hotly.
"No only one world can witness the true events, as well as the true characters but I guess you do have a point, I don't know if they exist here, if they do there is a high chance that you'd never get to meet the real characters unless they came here," she answered after a seconds thought. "Anyway seeing as I am connected to all worlds through the void, I can use all the stuff that wouldn't be possible in many worlds, like if I took you to another world, you would still have your strength because your structure is of this world, I have no original structure because of the void," she said answering his original question, "That is unless the void strips you of your power, in which case you have to adapt and become part of their world, but as soon as you return home you lose the abilities that you once gained," she added after further thought.
"Okay........." Gohan said seemingly understanding though he was still pretty confused about it, he decided to let it drop as the information was useless to him seeing as he wasn't leaving his world anytime soon. A sudden thought occurred to him.
"Hey where's Iago from?"
"Hm Oh Iago comes from Agrabah, it's part of the Disney verse though Iago's world has its own world within the Disney verse," she answered as if it the most obvious thing in the world.
"Disney verse?" Gohan asked highly confused, he remembered that she had used the word Disney before.
"Yeah the Disney verse, one of the most annoying places when it comes to help, they have their own fighter, Sora the key wielder, only a few know about the existence of other worlds, but I think that was more because of something going wrong leaving nothing but darkness in its wake or else a giant power cut, but you need a.....special ship to even make it off of your own world," she said with a slight laugh as she remembered the Gummie ship, at first she thought it was food, she was highly disappointed when it wasn't. Damn Saiyan appetite.
At the thought of food her stomach rumbled only to be joined by another rumbling stomach seconds later. Each shared embarrassed glances. Opening their mouths to talk they stopped as a familiar voice sounded throughout the forest.
"GOHAN! MIA! DINNER!"
