After half an hour of chasing Misumi around, Rex and I finally caught her. It was getting late. So we decided to set up camp. We got Rex comfty on come twigs and leaves. He laid down slowly, like he was expecting a trap. Funny, Rex seemed a bit jittery. Probably because He had never been this far away from his mountain before. I tried to calm him, and he soon fell asleep. Misumi started a fire with a Ki blast.

"That should keep us warm tonight. You better gets some sleep. Tomorrow we have a lot of travel to cover." She says as she lays down on her sleeping mat. I decide to do the same. I lay down my mat beside Rex so he doesn't get scared, whic his also across from Misumi. I lay down looking at the stars.

"Wow...It's so beautiful..." I say with amazement of the view of the stars

"Yeah... It's way different from our world..." She looks over at me "So how did you get here?" I sit up, deciding im not getting sleep anytime soon.

"Well, I was playing a videogame of this place, then my mother told me to go to bed. I went to bed thinking about this place and POOF! I'm here" Misumi looked at me puzzled. I wouldn't blame her, I didn't get it either.

"Your way is different from mine. I was playing a videogame like you, and I was about to go against cell. When he asked me if I was ready to fight and I pressed X for yes. Then he laughed and suddenly the ground shook. And I woke up here." Now im looking at her puzzled. And by the look on her face, she must not get it either.

"Wow, I guess that is different." I look at her and figure it out "Cells the one that brought you here huh?" She kinda blushed and tipped her head down.

"Yes. thats why I'm here. And I have been trying to get back home ever since. And since the Dragon Balls have 3 wishes, I can try and get home!" She jumped up with passion in her eyes "I want to go home To my friends and family. Here danger is around every corner, and it's never safe. I just want to be at peace." I saw a little tear leave her eye and fell to the ground. She must have noticed too, because she was wiping where the tear rolled on her cheek.

"It's ok. I promise well try to get you home. If you want it that bad. Then you're going no matter what." She looks at me with suprise.

"But dont you want to go home too?" I sigh and look at her face. The fire was making her skin look golden.

"I don't have a family to go to. My family was killed in a fire a long time ago. I was at my friends house when it happened. Soon I was jumping from foster home to foster home. The person I was living with was just seeing if I would be a good son. I heard her at night grumbling about me. Being an ungrateful brat. But I guess now she won't care that im gone." A tear rolls down my cheek and I leave it. I wanted Misumi to now my feelings. I don't like to keep secrets. That's why I just came open like that. Secrets are for weak people. I don't consider myself weak. So I just let my feelings go.

"Wow Babba...I never knew you had to go through that... I feel so sorry for yo-"

"Well you shouldn't. I don't take pity from people. You didn't let me finish. My friends mom was having me over because My parents didn't want me. I was a mistake, a mess up. We need to get to bed. It's almost sunrise and I would like a little bit of sleep." I had never told anyone that. I just found that out a couple weeks ago. So I had to tell it to somebody. Soon afterward I saw Misumi cry. It was either because I yelled at her, Or she was crying for me. And I just wanted to hurt her. I hated pity. It showed weakness. I will never have people see me as a weakling anymore.

Soon I was laying down on my mat again looking at the stars. Soon the whistling of the crickets and birds made me sleepy and i drifted into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up with a start. I was on something rough and leathery. I soon learned that I was on Rex. Misumi must have let me sleep. Because we were far away from our campsite and all my stuff was packed in my bag. Something must have hit my head because I had a big bruise on my head.I was either dropped, or Misumi tried to wake me up with a hammer. I was more expecting the hammer, but Misumi quickly floated down when she saw me awake.

"Hey, sorry about dropping you on your head. Rex didn't really help!" She kinda gave a scowl at Rex. He looked at her and made a funny face to get her ticked off. But it didn't work. She just turned back to me. "So, how close are we to another dragon ball?" I look at the radar, and there was one not too far ahead.

"Right ahead. We should be there soon." She nods and decides to take a ride on Rex. At first Rex wouldn't even let her on his back. But I calmed him down and he finally agreed. After about 15 minutes we came up to a huge lake. I look around, but I dont see it anywhere. I finally figure out it's in the water.

"So," I ask Misumi "How do you feel about water?"

After some yelling and arguing. and couple fights, Misumi finally agreed to get in the water. Luckily, we had thought ahead and brought bathing suits. We both went away from each other and got into them. Mine were blue swimming trunks. It didn't come with a shirt though. So I put on my Hermit shirt on and came out. Misumi was waiting for me. She was in a pink bathing suit and was blusing.

"Dont...say...anything!" She grumbled. I was going to say how beautiful she looked, but I would probably get the crap kicked out of me. And im not going to take that chance. Me and Misumi started walking towards the water. I heard Rex walking close behind. I turned around and stopped Rex.

"No Rex, Im not going to take the chance of losing you! You stay here and watch for other people like cell or the androids. Understood?" He looked upset, but he nodded and went back to our stuff. and kept a sharp eye

"Well you're nice! You don't want to lose Rex, but you're willing to put me at risk? I'm a delicate flower!" She yelled as she started to go in the water, luckily we had underwater masks and respirators to see what were doing.

"Yeah...delicate flower my butt..." I grumble putting the goggles and respirators on. Soon im under the water, getting used to the temperature. Misumi is shivering because of the cold water. We look around, but see no sign of the dragon ball. We sink lower until were at the bottom of the lake. It was a litle murky, but it was easy to see. I turn on the dragon Radar, and the Radar goes beep...beep indicating we were close to one. I looked around. Not seeing anything. I pointed the dragon Radar in different directions.I aimed it towards the left and the Dragon ball blimp god closer to the Radar. I poke Misumi and she looks at me. I point left and she nods. We swim towards where the blimp was biggest. Once we were on top of it, we dug in the mud.

After about 10 minutes of digging in the gross mud, I felt something the water, but colder than that. I feel around the cold smooth thing and it's round. It's the Dragon Ball! I quickly dig and Misumi looks at me, puzzled. I finally dig it up. It's the One-star ball. I show it to Misumi and she does a flip in the water. I don't blame her. We just got the third Dragon Ball. We shoot out of the water like a torpedo. We float in the air dancing. Rex sees us and comes in the water. She decides to dance and me and Misumi get soaked in water. I look at Rex, and he puts down his head in apology. I pat his head and Push him in he water. Rex is suprized and flails in the water. Me and Misumi laugh. As soon as Rex came to his sense and Puts up a hand for help. I grab his hand and he suddenly pulls me down. I come up sputtering water from my mouth to see Misumi laughing

"Nice job Rex! that was a Grade A prank!" She gives him a high five, then Rex grabs her arm and throws her in the water beside me. I laugh and laugh and laugh at the sight of her screaming about the hair in her eyes and how it's going to be hard to dry it off. And for the next hour were playing in the water, without a care in the world.

After we all dried off in the sun, we decided to set up camp by the lake, and leave first thing in the morning. Misumi's job was to make supper, Rex's job was to get fish and herbs, since he knew more about them. After about 30 minutes of searching and fishing. Rex came back with piles and piles of supplies. We split it 50/50. 50% went to Rex for supper, and 50% went to me and Misumi to save and eat for tonight and tomorrow. After we ate and everyone was in bed, Misumi decided we would be better sleeping close together. Which I thought was wierd. Soon Rex was asleep and Me and Misumi were awake again, Looking at the stars. Misumi was the first to talk.

"I feel really bad..." I look at her

"For what?" I say with great puzzlement

"For not seeing it sooner. Your bravery for sticking up to me and the others, and for Being able to take all that fear and anger and leave it behind. Thats really impressive...Really impressive..." I look at her. Her skin looks golden again from the flames. But also the moonlight had light on her face, making her eyes sparkle. "I really hope this adventure will gives us something to hang on to..." I sit up

"What would that be? I ask.

"Friendship..." I look at her. I had never had a friend in my life I had always been alone. My parents nor the parents that adopted me really loved me. So this was new.

"Wow...I hope so too..." She looks at me and leans closer.

"Im getting tired...But I have to tell you something..." I lean up as she says those three words that changed my life forever

"I Love you..." And after that she went to bed and fell asleep
