"It's too early for this shit"
If Aspara learned one thing about herself as she rolled out of bed and face-planted face first into the floor of her bedroom this morning is that she's not an early person, and to make things worst, she had to go pick-up Komatsu's family for the fishing session in 15 minutes and because she smashed her alarm clock into pieces and directly fell asleep after, she was now late into her morning routines, not even showered nor fed and in a bad mood, if only her mother was setting up the supplies, why couldn't she make her little brother go search for them instead of her? Oh right…, for her he's too young at not even two years old to go out alone (he still cannot fly obviously) but her, at a little more than 5 years old, can? Well, she can't complain for the amount of freedom they're giving her but not for this! She would prefer stay at home, comfortably into her bed, snuggled into her covers and being able to sleep a bit more but nooo of course, she has to go out an early morning into the cold in search for those guys who totally could come in on their own as they surely know the way because Komatsu's mother, if she do remember correctly, did come a lot of times when she was younger to visit them but mother said that it was them (or her) that had to go search for the guests as it would be more polite (even if for her it's the guests who as to come and do the effort but whatever) so here she is, 12 minutes of supposedly going out, face planted onto the floor and having a crisis in the middle of her bedroom
Or she can stay like this and wait until they have enough of the wait and go themselves!
*Knock knock*
…Huh?! She can't already know that she's awake can't she?!
…Right?
"I know you're awake dear, don't even try to wait until it's too late and use it as an excuse!" A weirdly cheerful voice sounded over the door but if she listened closely, she could discern a hidden warning tone
"...How?!" Aspara's response was apparently loud enough for her mother to hear as several giggles were heard from behind the door "Ahahahah! Dear… I was young too, you know? Don't you think I didn't try this with my own mother before?"
"..."
"That's what I thought, now hurry up and clean yourself so I can prepare your breakfast, and because I'm nice, I'll give you 5 more minutes so you have 15 minutes left! Good luck!" Silence followed as Aspara, completely baffled by this encounter, stood up from the floor, pick up her things and went inside her shower without another word

"Wow! Right on time. Take a seat, it's almost ready!" Gine said as Aspara took a seat at the empty table, her father was still on his mission somewhere and her little brother was surely still snoring in his bedroom… lucky him
"Is it still necessary that I go pick them up?" Aspara asked her mother again as she sat beside her (they have a round table and her mother is on her left, her father would be in front of her and her brother on her right should they both be here) and they both started eating as Gine seated herself at her place "they are the guests, it's them that should go here on their own…" she commented as she ate her meat
"No, in our family, hospitality is really important! So eat your breakfast and go pick up your friend" her mother said in a scolding tone as Aspara could only sigh in exasperation and reluctantly agreed to go
"Perfect! Then finish up and when you return, everything should be ready, and I hope that your little brother isn't as bad as you when it comes to waking up in the morning…" She finished her sentence in a low mumble as she went upstairs to surely start setting her things up
"Tch… I guess I should hurry then" Aspara got up from her chair while munching some last bit of her breakfast, then she took one of her black jumpsuit and finally took her boots and went out and in the direction of Komatsu's house, and come to think of it, she never went into her house, she's really wondering what sort of house a daughter of a scientist and a first class warrior live into…

"Well, I don't know what I was expecting, but it was certainly not that" Aspara commented as she arrived at a villa on the mountain equipped with a pool with water flooding out and into a river below… that's official, she's jealous, she got a house with 2 stories, a Queen size bed and they also are surely richer than them because her father is literally the captain of his crew were Toma is part of, but Vegeta and Komatsu still have both better houses than her! Vegeta in size with his ridiculous castle and Komatsu with this insane scenery… Eh, whatever… When she's older and they allow her to take a house all by herself at like… 16 or 18 maybe? She will then take a house worthy of her and no one can say anything about it or she will personally kick their ass to the closest moon (beside her mother and father of course, she will just do as if she did not heard them, easy)
As she flew around the villa in search of the entrance, she spotted Komatsu waving at her from her back garden
"How the hell do you live in a house like that? How could they even afford it when I live in a only 2 story house?! Your father is one rank below mine for Kami's sake!" Aspara commented in disbelief
"Oh? You didn't know? My mother recently got promoted as the royal scientist because of her excellent work and research, there's even some that I myself contributed! Come, I'll show you her lab!" Komatsu says borderline jumping in place in excitement as she grabbed her by the arm and dragged her inside
"Mother! Can I show Aspara your lab?" Komatsu asked her mother as they entered the lab where she was typing on a giant computer showing a schematic of a Saibaiman but completely lacking colors and different gardening tools laying around on the desk with mini greenhouses nearby with different notes labeled on each one of them
Carole, after she finished typing on her computer, turned around and acknowledge the 2 children "of course, you can look around as you like, just be careful as to not break anything, some of the stuff her is pretty fragile" She warned them
Aspara nodded as she looked around the room, she found a tube with what she assumed was the blue liquid they used in their healing chambers, Saiyan armors of different materials and… Saibaiman seeds with notes?
"Oh! It's the project that I am contributing to. We are testing different kinds of Saybaiman to try and make them even stronger and diversify them so they can be more useful and fight stronger enemies more efficiently, because the regulars of a 1000 units are great and all but… kinda weak and predictable" Komatsu commented as she came beside her friend as she read the notes
Kaiwareman (カイワレマン) – Blue colored plant creatures, fighting power of 200 units, the weakest one but produced in large number, efficient against population of non-fighters.
Kyukonman (キュウコンマン) – Yellow-Brown colored plant creatures, fighting power of 350 units, a little stronger than his counterpart the Kawareman but nearly not as many produced as its only purpose is to serve as leader for them if their not coordinated.
Kopīman (コピーマン) – Black colored plant creatures, same power level as their counterpart the Saibaimens and they too can launch acide by their brain but they also seem to have the interesting ability to copy a enemy's appearance and techniques, the stronger the target, the stronger the ability.
Tennenman (テンネンマン) – Blue and pink plant creatures, fighting power of 2.200 units, mostly used for training by the middle class and can be utilized in planet conquest.
Jinkouman (ジンコウマン) – Gray plant creature. They are prototypes as they are not stable and safe enough to be presented to the public to be utilized yet. Their fighting power seems to vary between 4.400 and 4.800 units. They are so fast that even high first class would have difficulty to follow their movement and their acid seems to be even more corrosive than the Saibaimans. Finally, they seem to be capable of surpassing their obedience programme at the moment so I need further research and upgrade of the programme until validation can be declared.
"Jinkouman? Seems interesting, can I test them when they're ready? The weaker ones are not enough anymore as I can easily dispatch them with only one hit… at least if I fight like 3 on one, it should give me a good workout!" Carole rub her chin in thought at her proposal, before shrugging "sure, I would need someone strong to keep them in line anyway so you and my daughter should be enough"
Aspara gave her a smile of satisfaction before she suddenly remembered that she had to 'escort' them to her house "Hum, I think we should go, my mother should have finish by now and if we are late she's gonna put the fault on me and take it as an excuse to deprive me of training or something, so go-go-go!" And with that, Aspara was gone
Komatsu watched her best friend run outside, sweat dropping on the side of her head as she turned to adresse her mother "…Um- we should go and follow her mom, you know how Gine is with schedules…"
"...*Sigh* Yes I know… let's go"

"Um- when are they coming?" Raditz asked his mother, still a little groggy from sleep, his mother came into his room this morning, waking him up in the process as he's not an as heavy sleeper like his sister, even if he still would like to sleep a little more, and after a fast breakfast because they were almost out of time, his mother flew here with him in her arms (he will ask soon his father or sister to teach him how to fly because the more he grow up, the more embarrassing he feel about this as he doesn't want to be make fun off for not being able to fly as he's unfortunately aware that he's not that strong compared to his sister or her friends, but if he went to school and he doesn't even know how to fly? Yeah… no, he would have to endure hell every-day from the teasing, so no, no shot, he has enough reminder at home already…) and here they were, waiting as his mother was setting up the fishing equipment, with still no sister in sight
"I'm sure your sister won't be long…" nah, he bet she actually forgot and she's fighting or chatting with her friend at her house "...I Hope"
"Well, in the meantime, can you tell me what we are actually fishing for?" At least, it will past the time and he's actually curious about what they are gonna catch
"Mmh? Oh! Of course! We're gonna catch some red sea bream!" His mother exclaimed really excited, wow, she seems to really like this type of fish
"Why are you so fired up for sea breams?" He's genuinely curious, she looks like she's gonna jump to one of their moons in excitement at this point, and at least if he can change the focus of the conversation and keep chatting with her a little bit to distract her, hopefully his sister will arrive in time and they will not have to deal with an angry Gine, and no-one wants to deal with THAT
"Oh! It's simple! The madaï is my favorite type of fish, and red because it's my favorite color, tho there are much bigger fish, the sea breams that live in this lake are particularly enormous and quite more aggressive but it's not a problem because-" "HEY GINE!" They looked up to see that finally, his sister had brought her friend Komatsu and… whatever her name was, and now that they're here, he's now able to breathe and not worry about an angry Gine anymore
As his mother went to salute her friend, his sister and her friend came landing beside him
"Hey little bro, how is it going? You didn't trip on your hair this morning, right?" Really sis?! The first thing that you say to me is commenting on my hair?
"You seriously question my hair-length when you have long hair too?" He replied at her with a deadpan expression "...Nevermind, to reply at your earlier question, I'm fine, and be thankful that I could get enough time so we didn't get to endure an angry mother on us all morning because she realized you were late"
"…Oh" Aspara opened her mouth in surprise, caught off guard as she didn't suspect he would distract their Mother so she wouldn't be angry… though she suspects that it's also to not receive the end of her wrath too "...Well, thanks I guess?"
"Thanks? Is that all you can say after I saved your ass from a potential month of training banishment?"
"...First of all, you're not even like 3yrs old so don't swear at me, and secondo what do you want me to say?"
"…How about a compromise? Because I managed to distract her enough to allow you to come back in time, in return, you can take one day of your training to help me learn how to fly and unlock my Ki?"
"Hum… Aren't you pushing it there? It's nice that you distracted mother for us but to take time on my training to teach you something you may not use?" What does she mean by that?
"What do you mean?"
"…You know what? Here's what we're gonna do : In one month time, I want you to train, and when the time is up, I'm gonna challenge you to a battle and if you manage to even egratignure me, I will personally teach you how to fly and use ki attacks with some special tips! So what do you say? Care to step up to the challenge?" Aspara raised an eyebrow as she looked expectantly at me, I guess it's the best I can take to have any special leçon and actually prove to m'y sister that I too can become a warrior like her… even if I will absolutely get beat up, I can maybe surprise her with what I learned with Father (his sister was so caught up in her training and friends that she do not know that Father taught him some basics as I managed to convince him that I too wanted to become like him, tho he warned me I will have to put up a LOT of training, I am motivated to prove my worth, and I just know who's the first person I will prove it to!)
"Alright I accept the deal!"
Aspara again didn't seem to wait for this response at all as she raised her eyebrow in surprise even more "Oh! You're really serious about it?! …Well, I guess if you're that serious it settles it eh? …I admit I wasn't prepared for your sudden moment of bravery, or is it foolishness? I guess we will know at the moment"
Nothing seemed to discourage little Raditz as he nodded again and they all took place into the boat that their Mother settle just beside the lake

After saying goodbye to the others, Aspara and Komatsu took a humble portion of their catch and went to the castle for their lunch as they were invited by Vegeta because he learn that he could have some free food and he wouldn't pass in this opportunity
But as they both entered the castle and walked towards the throne room, Aspara immediately came to an halt as she noticed a sudden change of atmosphere
"Hey Komatsu… do you feel that?" She asked her friend while she continued to fix the door ahead of her if Komatsu had sense the same thing, it wasn't like she felt any ki per say but more like a tense pressure like the air became more dense and she couldn't stop some the chills that went down her spine for some reason…
"Wha-" Komatsu went to speak her confusion but immediately stopped mid-sentence as she gained a wide eye like and sharply spined her head towards the door
"…so you too eh?" Komatsu nodded as she saw some sweets going down on the side of her friend's head "...Well" Aspara took a deep breath and regained her composure "I guess we gotta go and see what's up? In case we're in any kind of danger and all? …Even if what I feel doesnt give me much confidence in case it's an enemy, at least we'll help and I'm sure am curious what's causing this" As she finished speaking, Aspara took some steps and turned towards her friend "Ready?" Komatsu took a breath before nodding and Aspara slowly opened the door
