Mia hummed as she watched the food roast over the fire. It had been a whole day since she decided to grace the happy campers with the Michael Jacksons Thriller dance, also having to explain about the void to the others. Though she was forbidden from making a second début if she was going to....What was it that Bulma called it, ah yes necromancy again, Iago had laughed at the term, after all they were just memlocks, all though better and scarier looking then the ones Mozenwrath used they were still completely harmless, but they were excellent dancers, and a fantastic way to cheer one up. The sound of a moving zip told her that someone was coming out of one of the tents.
"Hey there Mia," Krillin greeted as he sat down by the fire.
"Hey Krillin," she replied as she watched the bald headed warrior begin to check over the food.
"Where's Gohan?" he asked her not taking his eyes off of the fire.
"He and Yamcha left to get some more wood, and I think Bulma's still asleep," she answered looking over to the scientists capsule house and effectively answering Krillin's next question. Krillin nodded his head, his mouth forming an o shape. The flapping of wings alerted them to Iago's presence as he landed on Mia's left shoulder, you could see he was tired and trying to catch his breath.
"Iago did you find anything?" Mia asked looking to the parrot, she whispered keeping her voice low enough so that only she and Iago could hear.
"Sorry kid, no problems ala void, but I did find a quaint little town that was nice enough to supply me this," he said in a suggestive voice as he pulled out a piece of parchment, Mia rolled her eyes, she knew that voice.
"Iago another map?" she asked with endearment.
"I know isn't it just wonderful," Iago replied, either he didn't notice the amusement at himself or he didn't care. Mia figured it was the latter, after all, who in their right mind would refuse adventure and gold? She sighed and squeezed the bridge of her nose.
"Iago do you remember what happened the last time we went on one of your treasure hunts?" she asked him.
"Hey when you make a mistake do I always remind you?" he asked snidely, Mia shook her head.
"Iago, we almost drowned and for what?!" she asked raising her voice a little, "A can of spam and a box of old books from the school of Middletown high!" she yelled knocking the bird off of her should, neither noticed the sweat drop that formed on their audience.
"Hey how was I to know that it was a map to the school time capsule!" Iago yelled back defensively. Mia slapped her forehead, there was no stopping Iago when treasure was involved.
"Iago we are not going on a treasure hunt," she said firmly. Iago's jaw dropped.
"What? Why not!" he yelled at her getting in to her face so that his beak was touching her nose.
"Iago, argh look I'm not arguing with you, no treasure hunt," she said turning her back to him signifying the end of the conversation. Iago just stuck his tongue out at her.
"Actually I think a treasure hunt would be kind of fun," Krillin said from the sidelines causing Mia to fall off of the log she had been seated upon while Iago danced in joy and victory. Mia jumped up and pointed at Krillin.
"You're not paid to think!" she yelled at the bald headed monk causing him to fall back on his butt.
"Will you stop shouting!" Bulma screeched coming out of her capsule house, "How's a girl going to catch up on any beauty sleep with all this noise anyway?" she asked the group sarcastically. Mia was about to huff at Bulma but decided not to, after meeting Chichi she had become a little cautious of the females in this world and their short tempers.
"Er sorry Bulma," Krillin said laughing nervously at the blue haired genius. He turned to look at Mia hoping to find some support but was surprised to see her sitting on the log reading a book as if nothing had happened. As if sensing Krillin's gaze on her she looked up.
"What?" she asked him. A huge sweat drop formed on Krillin's head as he groaned.
"What are you doing?" he asked her, she smiled sweetly at him.
"Reading," she answered.
"Forget it baldy you've lost her, she's in lala land now," Iago said landing on Krillin's shoulder.
"I am not in Lala land, I need to keep up with the other worlds and now just seemed to be the perfect time," she said turning a page in the book, she started laughing. "Oh Garfield you crack me up," she said turning another page.
"It's really not healthy for someone to behave that way," Bulma said taking a seat next to Krillin and Iago.
"Nah she's just keeping in tune with the void, it takes someone special to keep up with that roller coaster ride," Iago replied keeping his gaze on Mia.
"And that person is Mia?" Bulma asked the parrot.
"Nope but she'll have to do," the bird replied folding his arms.
"What is it that she actually does anyway?" Bulma asked as she began brushing her blue hair.
"Other than annoying the people who live in whatever world she happen to be visiting? Not much," Iago said with a shrug.
"I heard that!" Mia yelled at the group startling them.
"Well what do you do then?" Bulma asked annoyed that she had to repeat the question.
"To be honest, I'm not sure, so I just do what I can," she said with a sad smile.
"Well what are you doing here?" Bulma asked trying to understand if a new danger was heading their way.
"I dunno," Mia replied before returning to her book. "I'll find out sooner or later," she said with a smile. Bulma turned her sad gaze to Krillin.
Here's a little bit of fun for you ;P
Out take
"I don't know about this girl. She seems farfetched," she whispered to the monk, hoping to keep her voice low enough so as not to alert Mia. She looked back to Mia, her eyes widened. In Mia's seat sat a brown and white bird, probably about an inch or two taller than Oolong. The bird seemed to be holding a green onion. The bird sensed their gazes on her and looked up at them, a sweat drop formed on her head when she noticed the weird looks they were giving her. Looking down at itself she sighed.
"Ok who called me farfetch'd?" it asked pointing the green onion at them like a weapon.
"Mia?" Bulma asked in disbelief. Mia just rolled her eyes at them, it was then a rustling from the bushes caught their attention.
"Hahahahaha," a feminine voice cackled from the bush. Mia slapped her forehead as the figures emerged from behind the bushes. It appeared to be a group of three, a man with blue hair and a women with really long dark pink hair accompanied by a white and brown cat.
"To protect the world from devastation," the woman started.
"To unite all peoples within our nation," the man continued.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love," the woman added.
"To extend our reach to the stars above," the man finished.
"Jessie," the woman said finishing in a pose as the man introduced himself.
"James," he also finished in a pose. The cat stood up, opening his mouth as if to and on to the intro, unfortunately he never got the chance as Mia suddenly sent the three hurdling through the air with a powerful kick.
"Get back to your own world!" she yelled out after them.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!"
