"Grandpa, I think he's waking up!" The voice exclaimed. It was definitely the voice of a kid, most likely a boy and it sounded familiar. "Is he now?" A voice replied. This voice was gentle and obviously came from a man of older age. This one was familiar too.

Some more shuffling, and suddenly something was blocking the light that was blinding him and he opened his eyes. His heart skipped a beat as he instantly recognized the two people looking over him. "Goku and Gohan?" he questioned just loud enough for them to hear it. Today certainly was something special indeed.

Chapter Two: A Special Day Part Two

Goku just stared at Robin blankly while the old man (now known as Gohan) looked surprised and gave him a questioning look. Gohan may be somewhat of a famous martial artist but his name wasn't too well known in the area. Also, there were only two people who knew he adopted a child and he never told anyone Goku's name. So a person who he's never met appears out of nowhere with a tail like Goku, knows him and Goku.

"Young man, might I ask how you know my grandson and I?" Gohan asked. He was genuinely curious, he couldn't sense and malicious feeling coming from the boy, so he saw no problem in asking him questions.

Robin was quite the fan of anime. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were his two favourites.

While Gohan waited for an answer, Robin thought about what to say. 'What should I say to him? If I tell him the truth, he might think I'm crazy. And if this is actually happening and I'm not dreaming, I can't change history too much. I really don't feel like setting Goku up to die, or stopping Gohan from dieing with certain information could be dangerous.' Robin was in deep thought when suddenly a sharp pain went through his spine.

Goku had been sitting there patiently, not quite sure what was going on when he saw the tail sticking out through the blanket. 'I wonder if his tail hurts like mine usually does?' He thought as he started to reach for it. It looked just like his own, maybe he was related to him? Either way, Goku grabbed the tail and for a second nothing happened but then…

"AHH! What's happening!?" Robin yelled frantically as all he could feel was pain. The pain went away just as quickly as it came as Goku let go of his tail. "Opps, sorry." Goku said looking kind of sad for hurting the boy.

"What was that?" Robin asked as he stood up quickly, forgetting about his previous pain. "Well I grabbed your tail to see if it hurt, I'm sorry if it did." Goku said as he smiled sheepishly as the boy. Robin however didn't hear the apology as he only heard tail. "What do you mean tail? I don't have a…"

Robin looked around to his back as he started to deny the claim but then he saw it right there. Sticking out of his back between his pants and shirt, in it's brown, furry glory. "I have a tail." Robin stated slowly. "Well isn't today strange. First I'm late for school and running through the rain, then something happens, next thing I know I'm in the house of an anime character and I have a tail. And what's up with the veins on my arm?" Robin started to talk to himself somewhat hysterically as he really didn't know what to think.

"Boy, if I could at least ask, what's your name? And what do you mean by anime characters?" Gohan asked. Now he was more than curious as this boy started to sound somewhat insane.

Robin looked up and realized that he still hadn't said anything to Gohan. "Well my name is Robin Mann, I'm sixteen years old and as far as the anime character comment goes, well that's not really something I feel I should talk about at the moment." Robin introduced himself feeling that if he didn't tell them anything major, then the future of this world wouldn't alter.

"Goku why don't you go catch a fish down at the lake, I'm going to prepare some food." Gohan told Goku. "Okay grandpa, I'll be home soon." He replied and grabbed the red pole by the door and ran out.

"Alright, now that Goku is gone, why don't you tell me more about your current situation, and as for your arm, it's the type of pattern that appears on people who are struck by lightning." Gohan told him as he turned around and walked over to a cupboard and took out some herbs to prepare tea.

Robin weighed the pros and cons of speaking with Gohan and decided it might be better to tell him what he knew, or at least most of it. "Well for starters, I'm not from this world. When I say that, I don't mean I'm from another planet, I'm from a different universe. One where I can see into this world through television and mangas. I know that must sound weird, but it's true. I also wasn't born with a tail, so I'm not sure why I have one now but that's the least of my problems." Robin explained and waited for Gohan's reply.

"Care for a cup of tea?" Gohan asked as he poured himself a cup. "No thanks, I don't like hot beverages too much." He replied.

Gohan sat down in a chair near Robin and took a long sip of his tea. He waited a couple of seconds before he spoke up again. "Well Robin, that's quite the story, I can't be sure if you're lying or not, but you seem sincere. Why don't you tell me more of what you remember most recently? You said something about being late for school." Gohan said, then took another sip of tea.

"Well, I woke up late this morning because the power went out and my alarm clock reset. I'm guessing the power went out because there was a major thunderstorm going on outside. Anyways, it's the first day of school and I missed my bus. I had to walk to school on my own in the storm. I decided to run the way and about three quarters of the way there, I decided to rest against a telephone pole. Certainly not a very smart idea, anyways, I'm guessing that's when I got struck by lightning, but I don't remember anything after that until I woke up here." Robin spoke while looking out the window. Goku was running up the hill with a huge fish.

*RUMBLE!*

Robin's stomach suddenly started to growl at the sight of the fish. "Heh, it seems you have the same hunger as Goku." Gohan said as Goku walked through the door. "You're story is quite incredible Robin, but I suggest you rest here for while you get better, then you can try and search for answers." Gohan suggested as he got up and went over to get the fish from Goku to prepare it.

"Your name is Robin? Like the little birdies? Ohh! Are you going to be my new big brother?" Goku was talking quite quickly, and Robin actually caught some of it. He sat there pondering on whether he should stay. 'Wait did Goku ask me if I'll be his big brother? That could be a bad idea but I can't really do much in a world I'm not familiar in. Hell, why not? What's really the worst thing that can happen? Besides, if I'm really a saiyan, I can help fix anything I change.' Robin thought to himself before responding. "Sure thing Goku."

Goku smiled happily and grabbed Robin's arm and dragged him outside. "Come on, I can show you around the area." He said happily. "Don't bring him too far Goku. And Robin, if you start to feel bad, come back. Pushing yourself during recovery isn't a good thing." Gohan said as the two walked outside.

Yep, today was definitely a special day.

Next chapter, the story will fast forward a few months and the story will go from the Intro stage to the Developing stage.
