Chapter 2: The Unknown Visitor
The barren desert area in which the two half Saiyans stood remained silent for a good while. That was until Goten asked, "who are you and where did you come from?" He tread lightly when asking because they didn't know whether she was on their side.
But all the woman could do was stand there, her mouth opened and closed, as if trying to say something, but the words never came.
"Hello!? We're talking to you." Exclaimed Trunks.
The time traveler looked up and shook out of her daze, much to the confusion from the boys. "Sorry, what was your question?" Her voice was soft yet stern, displaying manners that had been taught over many years. She was on her knees with her brown tail twitching from her hidden nervousness.
Goten rolled his eyes and held out his hand, "come on. We aren't going to hurt you."
She looked very skeptical of the teen, but figured he couldn't be that bad, considering Goten looked like her a little bit.
"Sure." She mumbled, dusting off her black oversized Capsule Corp sweatshirt, and jeans. The three lifted off in the direction of Capsule Corp.
On the flight, the onyx haired woman said, "you know, I do have a name. And I'm not crazy." Trunks turned his head in her direction quizzically.
Her blue eyes told stories, and the way she carried herself was a mystery. "Then what is it?" He asked suddenly.
She chuckled and answered, "Mai-Chi."
It was a quick flight as they landed and Mai pulled her tail closely to her slender waist. "Im surprised that you could keep up with us. Normally Pan is the only one that can do that. But why so paranoid? We don't have tails, but we all used to." Goten earned himself a smack on the head from his best friend.
Even though their new mystery girl was a friend, didn't mean that has suspicion had dissipated. Walking through the back patio door, Vegeta spotted Mai questioning with "Who in the hell are you?"
Mai narrowed her eyes retorting, "don't bother asking questions you won't want to know the answers to." Vegeta's reaction was priceless as his eyes widened, cold stare shattering as he stammered for a smart comment. When it was not received, the twenty one year old walked out of the room chuckling.
"Hi Panna, we're back." Trunks smiled. Her eyes lit up at the sight of her boyfriend. "What happened while you left, and who's the girl walking in?" There was no jealousy in her thoughts, just pure curiosity. At that moment, the time bouncing mystery walked into the room.
Bowing in respect to both Son and Briefs families, a polite "Hello" resonated from Mai-Chi's lips. Straightening her body back out, her hair fell into her face. She pulled her long bangs back quickly, revealing her azure eyes.
ChiChi bowed in response, happy to see some manners in this generation. Her traditional views made it imparative that when greeting another, you must bow. While on the flip side, Bulma was in complete shock. Though she responded well, there was no hiding her shock. Chattering amongst everyone erupted in the room as they introduced themselves to their visitor.
"I'm Gohan, and this is my wife Videl." The two Mai found out had recently gotten married, and was already expecting their first child.
She looked at a young bluenette around thirteen as she introduced herself as Bra. "I guess you already know my older brother Trunks, considering he came all the way to the east to find you."
Then Mai turned around as a fourteen year old Pan said, "Hello. Its very nice to meet you ma'am." Her shoulder length hair mimicked the sleekness of her own. One thing that was noticed was her bright orange bandanna.
"That's a nice bandanna." Mai said softly, as she pulled out her blood shaded one from the back pocket of her jeans. The two shared a small smile before the circle of introductions continued.
"So, where are you from, Mai?" Pan asked a bit later. The very question question made her skin crawl and tail yet again tighten around her waist. Her eyes -almost too quickly- looked around for any and all exits, she didn't realize how much of a mental tax this trip could be. They were all sitting down, all eyes on the newbie, waiting for an answer. All instincts said to run, this was a trap. But Mai had to resist, and for good reason.
Goku saw her tail and exclaimed "you have a tail!"
'Way to go Goku.' She heard herself huff.
All eyes turned toward her suspiciously as she breathed, "about that." Mai began self consciously messing with the sleeves of that sweatshirt. "I'm from the future."
Yeah, yeah I know it's a short chapter. But I promise it won't be too bad next time.
