Chapter One : The Arrival……
Author's Note: Yes I know this story may seem out of whack to some of you….I'm not necessarily using a timeline or anything….this is just a story idea that popped into my head and had to be put on paper…or rather on disk…just keep that in mind and please enjoy!

The alien spacecraft slowly made its way through space. The passenger inside was fast asleep, and dreaming of the new planet where she was to arrive. Suddenly, an alarm went off, jolting the passenger awake.
"Warning..unknown object approaching at great speed!" said the mechanical voice.
"What the-". "Impact will occur in 9, 8, 7, 6…"
" What's happening!", exclaimed the now shaken passenger.
There was a swift blow to the craft. Outside the spacecraft, a meteor was shattered into a dozen small pieces. There was an eerie silence…then it was broken.
" Cryogenic freezing will initiate in 10 minutes", said the mechanical voice. There was no response.
"5 minutes". Nothing but silence.
"60 seconds", the voice warned. Slowly the passenger came to.
"What?! No, no….not yet you stupid machine!", cursed the passenger.
She felt her toes begin to go cold.
"Deactivate!", she screamed.
The machine responded, "Cryogenic freezing, has begun."
"Kuso!", the passenger exclaimed as her whole body went cold and stiff.
"This wasn't supposed to activate yet…", her face was going numb.
" Oh….please let me reach my destination…." Were the last words whispered from her mouth.
The craft continued through space slowly. Only this time it was headed in a different direction. The passenger was not going to reach her original destination. This time she was headed towards Earth.

The two boys plopped down onto the grass wearily. They had been sparring for over two hours, and were quite exhausted.
" Ugh….I'm beat…..just so tired.." Goten gasped out.
" Me too..", breathed Trunks.
Goten sat up….." Well, let's go look for some food. I'm sure that'll make me feel better!"
"Baka", Trunks muttered under his breath.
" I heard that…" Goten replied tauntingly.
" Shut up!", Trunks growled back. " You know, Goten, you're a pretty simple guy…"
" How so?", Goten questioned.
"Never mind", Trunks stated.
" Yeah, sure, whatever", Goten replied.
There was a long silence.
" So, are we going to eat or not?", Goten asked impatiently.
" Is that the only thing ever on your mind?!", Trunks exclaimed.
" Nooo-but, aren't you hungry?", he asked in a pleading voice.
" Yes…but I'm too tired to move. I want to take a nap first." Trunks replied.
Goten humphed. Then lied back down. " I might as well get some rest, too", he thought.
Trunks suddenly shot up.
" What the heck is wrong with you?!", Goten questioned.
"Did you feel that?", Trunks asked him wide-eyed.
"Feel what?', Goten yawned.
Suddenly his eyes opened wide. "Oh, that", he whispered. "What do you think it is?", he asked quietly.
" I don't know..", Trunks began.
The "it" they were referring to, was the sudden presence of a being with high energy level, that was quickly diminishing.
"Come on. Let's go see what it is..", Trunks pulled Goten to his feet.
" I don't think--maybe we should tell our parents first..", Goten protested.
" What if it is one of our parents, baka?", Trunks shot back.
" Well---errr---ugh-Why'd you have to be so smart, man!", Goten whined.
" Shut up and let's go!", Trunks yelled at his friend.
"Fine", Goten muttered.
With that they took off into the air.
" It's in an eastern direction", Trunks said quietly.
They took off at full speed. Over hills and streams and rivers, until they reached a mountainous area.
" It's around here somewhere..", Goten whispered. Trunks nodded.
" Over there…by that mountain.."he said . They headed towards the mountain. They landed on the surface.
What they saw next nearly made their eyes pop out of their heads.
" Is that what I think it is?!", Goten gasped..
Trunks nodded.
" A Saiya-jin space pod" they said in unison.
" There has to be someone inside", Trunks stated, " And their energy level won't stop decreasing."
" What should we do?", Goten questioned.
" Open it up!", Trunks exclaimed.
" What if it attacks us?!" Goten asked nervously.
" With an energy level like that, it will barely even lift its finger. Besides..we could blast them if they try anything funny on us." Trunks stated simply.
" Whatever you say, pal. Whatever you say", Goten replied.
The walked towards the space pod warily.
Trunks reached out to pull open the already loosely hanging door.
" Kuso! It's hot!" he yelled.
"You should be more careful, dear.", Goten stated in a syrupy sweet voice.
" Shut up, baka! Come help me!" Trunks yelled back.
Goten walked closer and grasped the door.
" On three….1, 2, 3!". Both boys pulled down with all their might. The door came off easily.
Trunks peered inside.
"It's….it's…..it's a-", he stuttered.
"Get out of my way!", Goten pushed past Trunks. He gasped.
They looked at each other for a moment. Both wide-eyed with surprise. They could hardly believe what their eyes had seen.
"It's a Saiya-jin!" Goten choked out.
" A female Saiya-jin!" Trunks gasped.
