Chapter 5:

After about a month of training we got some pretty hard news. Goku told us that we had to figure out who the last person of the group was. We had discovered that to complete the prophecy we had to find the other girl.

"So what you are saying is that we have to go back to our dimension? And find this person who we are missing and tell her that she belongs in this other dimension? And exactly how do we do that?" Saphire was asking so many questions I had to put my hand over her mouth.

"Saphire, shut the hell up, and let them tell us how we are going to do this." I told her. By now people knew that me and Shin were exclusive.

"We will take you back to the day that we took you. You will go home as you were doing at that moment and go on as if nothing had changed. No one will even know that you were even gone." Shin explained.

"Okay, then what are guys going to do why we are packing and trying to find this chick?" Rori was sitting on Trunks' lap.

"Yeah, like you Shin. What are people going to say when you show up with purple skin and a white Mohawk?" I asked.

"I can transform into a human. No one will even know that I was even from a different dimension." He explained.

"Okay, do you know who this girl is?" Saphire asked.

"All I know is her name is Sabrina." Gohan said.

"Sabrina Jones?!" Saphire and Rori said in unison.

"There is no way she is a saiyan, she is the weirdest person I know." Rori said. "I don't like her, and I am not going to like it if she is around."

"Look she isn't that bad. You guys don't know her the way that I do. She and you two are the best of friends I could ever have. And she will not change anything. We will be able to do everything that we wanted to do only Sabrina will be with us." I told them.

"I don't know Rie. I mean she is SO annoying and she can really be a bitch. Especially when she starts talking about my brother, or when she says something that she thinks is funny and it isn't." Saphire said as Goten sat down next to her.

"Look lets just do what they are telling us to do, and everything will be just fine. So when do we leave?" I asked.

"Tonight, at sun set we will go and you will have all of your powers and memories so don't get angry. Cause you could easily kill someone." Shin said.

"Fine, we'll go and when are we coming back?" Rori asked.

"The next night at midnight, and make sure that you pack what ever you need." Goku said.

"Alright so what do we do until tonight?" Saphire asked.

"Prepare what you are going to say to Sabrina. She'll need the full out lay out. And don't tell her that she'll have powers cause then she might tell someone." Gohan said.

"Oh trust me, Sabrina can keep a secret. I mean she's kept so many of mine and she knows that I'll kill her if she ever tells anyone about them." I told them.

"Well just tell her that you would like it if she could stay the night with you and Rori and Saphire. That isn't going to be a problem is it?" Trunks asked.

"No, I mean ever since we hit seventh grade her mom has let her come to my house." I told them. They look approved.

"Okay, then we'll live tonight. How about we meet around six and we'll leave?" Shin said.

"Kay. Lets go get ready girls." Rori said as she stood up and walked toward the stairs. "I mean we have to wear what we were wearing when we came here."

"Oh yeah, I forgot that we had to change. Or people will talk." Saphire said as she stood up next to Rori.

"Okay, lets go and lets leave the boys to talk." I said as I walked up stairs with Saphire and Rori.

I was sitting on my bed writing in my journal. I never wrote into a journal until I came here. It had became a habit when I really started to train. Looking back to all of what I had written I had realized that most of it was about Shin even when I was with Gohan. But there is just one that really sticks out to me, it was from a couple of weeks ago.

May 15, 2010

Today me and Shin sparred. He is getting easier to beat, and I think I am learning faster than I'm supposed to. He kicked me and I went flying into a rock and got right back up and hit him with a Ki blast that I got from Goku. He was really surprised that I had learned that so quickly. After he got his balance back, he just looked at me like 'Oh my God did she just do that?' He tried to attack me again and it didn't work. I used my powers to jump behind him before he could kick me. I hit him between the shoulders and he went flying into the ground. Then he got me of guard. He put me in a choke hole and I was always told that I would make a good actress so I played like I passed out and I went limp in his arms. I started to freak so bad. Saying "Oh my God I killed her. What have I done?" And before he could say anything else I kicked him and he went flying over my head, on to the ground. I jumped up and I pinned him on the ground. He said as I was sitting on top of him, "You are quite the little spark, aren't you?" I told him, "You just gotta know the ground. You taught me that." Then he said, "I guess I did. So how about you get off of me and we can take a brake." Then I shot back, "No, I don't think so. I like it when you're vulnerable." Then he caught me by surprise again. "Well, if you really want me to be really vulnerable then, why don't you kiss me?" I told him, "Finally, something I wanna do." I leaned down and kissed him softly. We laid there on the ground for about an hour talking and kissing, until he told me that he loved me. It scared the hell out of me. I wanted to jump up and run away, but I just laid there on the ground next to him. I just kinda had this blank look on my face, 'like what do I say back.' He asked me, "Are you alright?" And I responded by saying, "Yeah, I'm fine." Then went on by saying, "It's just the last time someone told me that he loved me he cheated on me with HIS best friend." He just looked back at me and smiled, then said, "Well, you can count on me NOT to do that." Then he kissed me again. We walked back to the Capsule Corp. and we went up to my room. I went and sat on my bed and he came over and sat next to me. He put his arms around me and kissed me again. We laid down on my bed and he just kissed me softly and I felt secure and safe in his arms and the way his body touched mine was like he would never hurt me. Before I knew it my shirt was off, then my shoes, then my pants, and then the rest. I knew just by the way he touched me he would never do what Calvin did. Tell me he loved me one day and the next day find out that he was cheating me with his best friend. I fell asleep in his arms and before I dozed off I told him that I loved him too.

I looked at my clock it said 5:30pm, and we had to leave in a half hour. So I put my journal on the night table next to my bed, and went in to the bath room. Then I herd a knock on my bed room door.

"Yeah?" I said as I turned off the light to my bath room and headed towards the door.

"It's just me. Can I come in?" It was Shin.

'I wonder why he's here?' I asked my self. I walked over and opened the door. And said, "Yeah, sure come in. So, why are you here? I thought we were going to meet at six?"

"I wanted to see you." He said as he sat on my bed. He looked confused about some thing. Like he was trying to tell me some thing, but couldn't find the words.

"Why? You were going to see me when we went to get Sabrina." I told him. I sat down next to him and took his hand and asked him, "What's bothering you? And don't try to deny it cause I know some thing is wrong."

"Well, I guess there is some thing that has been bugging me." He looked at me trying to find the words. "You know that you will be going to school, right?"

"Yeah, so. What's the big deal?" I was confused about what he was getting at. And he was really starting to scare me.

Then he asked, (which I can't believe he did and I had totally forgotten about it) "Do you have a boyfriend back in that dimension?"

"Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, I do and I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Are you mad at me?" I was afraid that he was going to freak and I would have to leave the house.

"No, I'm not mad at you. I think its going to be a little weird when I see you with him."

"Don't worry, I promise that nothing will happen."

"Nothing? What do you mean?"

"Like kissing, trust me nothing will happen like that cause I know that you will be watching."

"Okay, and there's something else that I need to tell you." I held his hand harder in mine like I was afraid to let him go cause he would leave me.

"Okay, what is it?" He looked down at the floor instead at me. And I knew that it was bigger than asking me about having a boyfriend.

"Okay, then just tell me, instead of leaving me hanging." I took my free hand and put it on his cheek and turned his head to where he was facing me.

"When we come back I have to leave. I have to go back to my planet for a while. And I really don't know how long I'll be gone." He looked at me ready for me to freak, which I did.

"What? Why? Do they know about us and they're taking you away from me? Or, do you just not love me any more?" Then THAT sent him over the edge.

"What?! How can you ask me that? Of course I love you and as far as I know they don't know and they aren't taking me away from you." He crossed his arms and just looked at me disappointed.

"Oh, sorry I didn't know. I just jumped to a conclusion or conclusions and I just over reacted. You know how I get? Especially when it includes someone I love or really care about." He sat back down next to me and put his arms around me. I felt so safe in his arms and I never wanted him to let me go.

"Its fine, and I do know how you get and I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have acted like I did." He looked at me and kissed me softly, the warmth of his body and his lips on me made me want him even more. If he leaves as soon as I think he was going to I only had one more night to be with him when we got back.

We were lying on my bed when we herd a knock on my door, I looked at the clock and it was 5:54pm. I got up and said, "Yeah?" Then I saw Rori standing in my door way.

Rori's View

Riley seemed relieved to see me standing in her door way. She opened the door even more so I could see in side of her room. Shin was in there and he was sitting on her bed. Of course what was going through my mind was, 'Oh my God, they were about to and I interrupted.' But, by the look on Riley's face I could see that I really didn't interrupt any thing.

"Hey, its almost time to go. Are you ready?" I asked her.

She smiled and said, "Yeah, almost. Shin and I were just talking. Come in."

Shin got up from the bed and said, "Yeah, its getting to be that time. I'm going to be down stairs. Don't be to long." He gave Riley a kiss on the cheek and left.

"I hope I didn't interrupt any thing. Did I?" I asked.

"No, not at all. Like I said Shin and I were just talking and I got some pretty bad news and I really wish that it wasn't true." She went and sat on her bed.

She looked as if she were about to cry, but she didn't. She never did cry much any more, I mean after her little brother died and her and her step-dad started to fight she kinda just held it in. I guess that's why Shin made such a good sparing partner. She could take all of her anger out on him and she would get beat up just as bad as he would.

"Well, can I talk to you about something? It might even help take your mind off the bad news that seems to have you in a trance." I sat next to her on her bed.

"Okay, well shoot. If it will help then, why are you stalling?" She looked like a little kid at Christmas.

"I think I'm ready."

"Okay, ready for what?"

"You know. Me and Trunks. I think I'm ready to, well you SHOULD know."

"Oh, you mean…"

"Yeah. I really do think I am. I mean I feel really safe with him and I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level."

"Have you talked to him? Do you know if he's ready? You know you could be jumping into something to hard and fast." Now she was starting to sound like my mom.

"Hey, hey, come on Rie. No, I haven't talked to him yet, but the way he's been acting I think he wants to. And I don't think he'll hurt me. He's told me more than once that he loves me." Then she got this worried look on her face.

"Look a guy may tell you he loves you a million times and it not be true. But with Trunks I don't think you have to worry. He respects girls and women and I don't think that he would be the type to play someone." Then she smiled.

"So, what are you trying to say? Are you telling me to wait? Or should I go for it? Which one? I mean I know that there can be consequences and I understand all of the risks, but look at you and Shin. I mean, how many times have you guys done it?" And before I could get one more word in she stopped me.

"Hey! Wait a minute. Me and Shin's relationship is a totally different situation. For one we had to lie and keep it a secret for about a month and it was totally hard. And another my first time wasn't even planned, it just happened and I got lucky that Shin was in love with me and he didn't just say it to get in my pants." Then I stopped her.

"Look, I'm sorry you know how I get when I'm anxious. So, do you think I should go for it or not?" I wasn't going to let her leave unless I had an answer.

"Yeah, go for it. I think you should if you think that you are ready. But do it on your own time. Don't do it under pressure." I knew she would give me good advice.

"Oh, Riley?" There was one more thing that I needed to ask her.

"Yeah?" She knew exactly what was going to come out of my mouth.

"Does it hurt?" If I were to ask any one it would be her.

"I knew you were going to ask me that. And yes, it does, but it gets better. Trust me." She smiled.

After our conversation we went down stairs, everyone was waiting for us and we walked to the plain that me and Vegeta trained on. Riley was going to get stuck with him, but since he was her brother (she didn't know yet) she didn't get paired with him, unfortunately I did. Which at that time I was happy cause I was SOOOOO in love with him.

"Here we are. Are you ready?" Goku said, in his normal happy voice.

Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Shin, (who looked really normal, I mean for someone who was purple and had a white Mohawk. His cover up was really cool; I mean he would fit in perfectly with us. He had blonde hair and green eyes and instead of being shorter than us he was taller. He looked good!) And Piccolo, God knows why he wanted to go.

"Wow! Shin, you look really human." Saphire said. She was so open minded lately.

"That's what I was going for. Do you think I'll blend in?" He looked at Riley.

"Yeah, you should, at least with our group." She smiled and then Shin opened the vortex.

Saphire's View

When we arrived in the alley where we were taken. Then Shin asked, "Where should we meat up with you tomorrow?"

"Where are you going to be staying? Do you know your way around here?" I asked. I didn't want to leave Goten alone.

"We are going to stay at a hotel." Gohan said.

"Do you even have money?" Rori asked.

"Yeah, we were coming here when we were trying to figure out if you three were the ones we were looking for and you were. But, when we were coming we collected up on money and so we have plenty." Goku said. He was always so happy.

"Okay, so we will see you here tomorrow at seven." Riley said.

"Yes, we will be here. Don't be late." Shin said. He looked around and motioned for the Z fighters to follow him.

Goten gave me a kiss and Trunks did the same to Rori, but Riley just stood there and Shin just said, "Good night." How lame!

We all stayed at Riley's house cause her mom and step-dad were out of town for the next two days.

"How rude was Shin? He didn't even give you a kiss." I said to Riley as soon as we stepped in her house.

"He wasn't rude. He just doesn't like people to see us kissing. He is a private person." She snapped back.

"Sorry, you know I thought by now he would of changed a bit. Not that it's a bad thing or anything, its just he's to, what's the word? Oh yeah, SERIOUS." I said giving Riley this evil smile.

"Well…" She had trouble finding the words. "Maybe I need something serious in my life. Maybe I'm tired of living on the edge, and maybe having a serious boyfriend will help me even more. Saphire, you know of my past."

"Yeah, I do and you do disserve someone who actually cares about you. I know that you got beat by one of your ex's and some of them just wanted you for sex and other things like that. And you're prolly right you need someone who is serious about you and your relationship." I totally understood. She had such a hard past I really can't believe she was able to survive.

Riley's View

I went to my room and started to look around, I saw that I still had my Oliver James posters up and I saw that my bed was still unmade from this morning from when I woke up. I went into my bathroom, my make up was still scattered on the counter and my straightner was still next to my toothbrush holder. Nothing had been moved.

"Hey Rie! Do you have anything to eat?" Rori asked. We hadn't had anything to eat all day except for breakfast.

"Yeah, there should be something in the pantry or the fridge. And if you want something sweet there should be ice cream in the freezer." I told her from the door way of my bathroom.

I walked out to the kitchen and sat on the counter. And they knew right away that something was wrong.

"What's wrong Rie? And don't try to deny ANYTHING cause we know something IS wrong." Saphire said.

"I'm just going to miss this place SO much. And right now I don't wanna go back. I mean I love it there I really do. It's just THIS is my home and I don't wanna leave it so soon. And what are our parents going to think when they notice that we're gone? Who are they going to ask when they have questions or who are they going to go to for help to find us? Like I said I don't wanna go back…" Then I could sense someone outside, listening.

"Shh… someone's out side." I said in a whisper.

"Who? Can you tell?" Saphire asked in the same tone.

I shook my head 'no'. I kind of had an idea of who it was, but I wanted to see if it was true or not. As I approached the back door I could feel the ki getting stronger. It had to be Shin cause no one else's ki was as strong as his. I motioned to Saph and Ror to keep the sound down and not to say a word.

'I'm going to open the door quickly and see if I can see anyone.' I told them telepathically. It really came in handy when I needed it to. We just learned how to use the ability.

'Kay, we got your back.' Rori said.

I opened the door and looked around. I couldn't see ANYONE so I opened the screen door and stepped out on the porch. I herd someone walk around the other end of the house. (That was another thing that had developed, was my hearing.) So, I jumped up on the roof and got down really low. I crept to the other end. Who ever was there obviously didn't know I was on the roof cause when I jumped down in front of them it scared the shit out of them. It WAS who I thought it was.

"Shin! What the hell do you think you are doing?! You nearly got your self a beat down!" I lowered my guard and told the girls that it was just Shin being a dumb ass.

"So, why are you here? Is there danger? Should I be aware?" I asked him.

"No." He said as we walked back around the house to the back door.

"Then, why are you here?" We walked inside and sat down on the couch.

"I just thought that I would come by and see how you are. Then I herd what you were saying to Saphire and Rori." He looked hurt, like I didn't want to be with him.

"Oh, how much, wait don't answer that. Stupid question." I looked at him and he looked back. I wrapped my arms around him and said, "I'm sorry if I hurt you. This has been my home for SO long and, yeah, I don't wanna leave but, if that means not being with you, well, then I choose you." I lifted up off of him and looked at him straight in the eyes and said once again, "I choose you. I love YOU."

He leaned over and kissed me. Then said, "Riley, I love you as well. I would never do anything to hurt you."

"I know that and that's why I couldn't bare to hurt you or anyone else for that fact, but you have shown me a whole new world and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. I can only hope you feel the same way." He took me in his arms and told me he does feel the same way.

"Hey, Saphire, Rori there are a couple of people waiting outside for you. I think they want to tell you something." Saphire and Rori went to the back door and opened it and Goten and Trunks were out there holding single red roses for both of them. It was really sweet and romantic.

At about nine I got a call from my mom. She asked, "How is everything? Did you get your self something to eat? Are you ready for school tomorrow?"

"Yes Mom, everything is taken care of. I did everything you told me to. You don't have to worry about anything."

"Well, okay I guess I'm just a little frantic cause it's your first time staying home by your self while we're out of town. I'll talk to you tomorrow then. I love you."

And before she hung up I said, "Mom… I love you too. I never want you to forget that. I will always be there for you when you need me. Don't forget that either. I love you."

"Good night Rie."

"Good night Mom." I hung up the phone and went and sat down on the couch next to Shin.

"Will my mom wonder where I am?" I asked Shin. I just needed a few questions answered.

"No, she will just remember being on her trip and she won't remember ever being your mom." He told me.

"Oh, why? Is something going to alter her memory?" I was really confused on what he was saying.

"All she is going to remember is that she had a miscarriage and her and your dad divorced because of it." He was trying so hard to make me understand.

"So, what will happen if we have to come back? And, what about everyone else?" Rori asked.

"The universe will be altered like it was this time. That is just how it has to be." Trunks explained.

"Oh, okay. So, what are we going to do about school tomorrow?" Saphire asked. She was totally fixed on school, and we had no idea why.

"We are just going to handle that obstacle when we come to it. You know take baby steps. Or one step at a time, which ever you prefer." Goten said as he looked at his watch.

"Eww… hey guys we have to go. It's almost 9:30pm and we have to get up pretty early." Goten warned us.

"Yeah, I guess so." Shin agreed. "We will see you all in the morning, in the alley. Don't forget, seven pronto."

"Yeah, yeah we get it." Rori snapped.

We walked the guys to the door. Trunks gave Rori a kiss and Goten did the same with Saphire. But, for the first time Shin hugged me and kissed me in front of any of the Z fighters. It was pretty amazing. After the guys left we got ready for bed and we separated and went to sleep.
