Jadarin: Well, to pick up where we left off before we were so rudely interrupted by that
Escaflowne fic...
Patches: Well, excuse me for wanting to have an Esca fic MSTed!
Sonjia: Just drop it. I didn't know we had a "schedule" to pick up from.
Jadarin: Remember "Arrow"?
Sonjia: (groans) Yes... I recall you mentioning more parts to it.
Jadarin: And I didn't lie!
Sonjia: Do we really HAVE to do this?
Jadarin: No. But I'm making you anyway. Or rather, Patches is making us.
Patches: It's an interesting diversion. Don't sound so glum about it.
Sonjia: I swear, when this is over, I'm going to kill her.
Patches: "When"? Try "if".
Sonjia: -_- Just bring it on, already, so we can get it over with.
Arrow part 4-6
By Anime
Sonjia: So I'm assuming what we read before was parts 1-3?
Jadarin: I don't know. It was just called "Arrow".
Sonjia: Well, let's HOPE this is where it left off, or else we'll be lost.
Jadarin: So, how will we tell the difference?
I was now attending school with Gohan
Sonjia: Read: She's living with him.
I had only been there for a week now. I was picked on as the new nerd of the
school.
Jadarin: If she's the nerd, that must say something about the other kids.
Sonjia: Don't pick on the mentally challenged.
I wasn't allowed to do much in gym until the next change of Gym activities. The teacher
was doing Archery
Jadarin: And was thus charged for molestation of a minor.
Sonjia: Poor Archery.
and every one was trying to make a bull's eye.
Sonjia: But no matter how hard they tried, the idea of drawing concentric circles eluded them.
I wanted to try I wanted to show them I was no nerd I could fight and I
could do a lot. Finally some one said. "Let the girl nerd try."
Jadarin: Implying there's also a boy nerd there.
Sonjia: That would probably be Gohan. But he's more deserving of the title.
I smiled. I had been waiting for this moment.
Sonjia: She would now kill them all.
The teacher let me and there was a bet going on. I turned around putting on the protective
gear.
Jadarin: Since she was so good at archery, she still had a habit of shooting herself.
"I Bet I can hit bull's eye first try 4 bucks." I said.
Sonjia (Anime): I'll hit the bull's-eye and four bucks!
Jadarin: That WOULD be impressive.
"Double or nothing." A kid said. "We give you 8 or you give us 8."
Sonjia: Very good! They can multiply by two!
"Fine." I said. I picked up the bow it felt good to hold a bow again I plucked an arrow
from the ground and stood at the line. I aimed at the target.
Swish Thud.
Sonjia: That would be the sound of my head hitting the ground when I read these stories.
Bulls eye. "NO WAY!" The kid cries out. "It's just beginners luck."
Jadarin: -that she actually got this story on the internet in the first place.
"Pull that arrow out and I will hit the same mark a little to the right." I said. A kid
went and pulled it out of the dead center.
Sonjia: How dare she kill the center!
I plucked another arrow from the ground and aimed a little to the right enough for them
to see it too. Well if they're close they could tell.
Swoop Thud
Sonjia: There goes my head again.
bulls eye once again. I smiled. I knew it the kid looked at it. "She's right it is to the
right of the first one."
Jadarin: About a mile to the right, but to the right, nonetheless.
The kid yelled. I held out my hand.
Sonjia (Anime): Now praise me.
Jadarin: The girl sure likes glorifying herself.
"Pay up." I said every one gave me $4 including the teacher that was in on all the betting.
Jadarin: Such wholesome education at these schools nowadays.
The bell rang for them to change
Sonjia: It was time to put on their luao outfits!
I picked up the last 4 arrows and shot them all in a circle around the center I walked
inside and got my books for my next class.
Jadarin: So she walked inside the circle she made with her arrows to get her books for class.
Sonjia: (shrugs) I've learned not to ask.
Jadarin: But you ask anyway, just to keep it interesting.
While waiting some of the kinds came over to me.
Jadarin: There were the red kinds and blue kinds.
Sonjia: And grape kinds and strawberry kinds.
And started to ask me some questions.
Sonjia: These stories have run-ons and fragments, but are there any well-formatted sentences
here?
"Hey Arrow how long have you known how to be such a good Archer?" One kid said.
Jadarin (Anime): I've known how to be a good archer for a long time. I just never figured out
how to do it.
I looked at him questioningly. I arched a brow at him.
Sonjia: Thus reflecting our expressions.
"I learned when I was about 6 how to uses a bow and arrow." I said.
"Cool how would you like to be on the school archery team?" He asked. I thought about it.
Jadarin (Anime): Well... if I accept, then this story will divert even more from DBZ. Sure!
"You would be top in the class just think about it Arrow." He said. And that was how I got
my nickname of Arrow.
Sonjia: It was a sarcastic nickname, considering how well she flys straight to the point of
things.
I nodded and he gave me something. "Take this home and look it over."
Sonjia: It was an inkblot test.
Jadarin: It was a sponge.
Sonjia: It was a dictionary.
Jadarin: It was the latest issue of Playboy.
"Thanks." I said taking it. I went on to class I felt there was something evil coming
this way
Sonjia: It wouldn't be another insert character, would it?
Freeza was coming I could
feel him he was maybe by Mars
Sonjia: AAAHHH!! Sailor Moon reference!!
Jadarin: ?? How so? It's just the planet Mars. Or maybe the Holst piece.
Sonjia: Or... or a candy bar company! I feel better now.
that wasn't that far and he wasn't alone. There were 2 other's that were with him he
would be after her she knew that.
Jadarin: Her. Her who?
Sonjia: Bulma, maybe? Or ChiChi.
Jadarin: Or, considering the last part, Goten or Gohan.
Sonjia: But since this is supposedly written in first person, it can't be the author.
I flew home feeling dread. I sat down with Goku and his family I started to feel left out
and I didn't feel hungry and I went up stairs quietly. I had a feeling of having too much
energy and I need to burn it off so I left.
Sonjia: She therefore ran in circles around a tree for a couple of hours.
I had full intentions of coming back though.
Sonjia: If that isn't a threat of a sequel, I don't know what is.
Jadarin: Um, there IS another part after this, you know.
Sonjia: Gehh...
I flew off into an empty field with large boulders.
Sonjia: And the moment her HEAD is in view, hit it with the rock!
Jadarin: ... My way's not very sportsman-like...
I started to blast them getting rid of my execs Energy.
Jadarin: The company was not very thrilled.
I don't know why but I kept seeing Freeza's face on every boulder and it got me madder.
Sonjia: Is this reminding you of that NEXT filler episode where Lina plays tennis?
Jadarin (Martina): It's tiny! Tiny! Tiny! Tiny!
Sonjia (Lina): DAMN YOU, MARTINA!! (Disintigrates the boulder)
"VALDAMARISHA! GET UP HERE!" Goku's voice bellowed from above I knew he was mad at me for
leaving like that.
That and the fact that he called me by my full name told me he was mad at me.
Jadarin: Actually, I think we already decided that "Valdamarisha" was a Saiya-jin swear word.
I flew up to him with a sigh.
Sonjia (Val): See, I brought you this sigh!
"What?" I said flatly.
"You know just because you are a Sayian princess doesn't give you all the right to take
off and blast things up." He yelled at me.
Jadarin: Is... this Son Goku talking, or some other Goku?
Sonjia: I dunno. I thought Goku only yelled at evil people who he couldn't reason with.
Jadarin: Case in point.
"I don't know what you're talking about Goku? I'm no Sayian princess I was the child of
some Sayian family that I will never know
Sonjia: Meaning she's not really Vegeta's sister! Good!
from a planet that I will never know because somebody destroyed it not even 10 minuets
after I was born.
Jadarin: Meaning the "dog tag" she had in part one traslates as "hospital wrist band".
I can't even remember my mother or my father the only person I can ever remember in my
life is Vegeta.
Sonjia (Val): (to Goku) So, who are you again?
And when ever I asked about my parents he told me they were just 2 people who brought me
into this world so I could breed and make more of my own kind.
Sonjia: Gik...!
Jadarin: The LAST thing we need is more little Animes writing fanfics!
How do you think I feel? I look at Gohan and how much you love him and it makes me feel
so left out. I never relay knew what it was like to have some one that cared for me." I said.
Sonjia: If ya didn't glorify yourself so much, people might like you better.
He was slowly absorbing it all in.
Jadarin: Pity via osmosis.
My eyes were teary I hurt but it wasn't something that I had experienced before I had
experience pain but this seemed much deeper.
Jadarin: It was that time of the month.
"Vegeta never told you that your parents were the King and Queen of Planet Vejitasei?" He
said.
Sonjia: "Planet Vejitasei". A tad redundant, don't you think?
Jadarin: Since it translates as "Planet Planet Vejita", yeah, I suppose.
I shook my head I didn't know. "He never told you that Freeza was the one who destroyed
your home planet?" Once again I shook my head I didn't know anything.
Sonjia: This is a shock to us?
"Well that's what happened Val. Your parents were the King and Queen and Freeza knew
that one-day some one would become stronger then he would so he destroyed our home planet.
Jadarin: Actually, he was probably just irritated at them.
I was sent off earlier in a space pod and I was luck to have been sent here.
Sonjia: Now he's Luck from Twoflower's Slayers Trilogy.
Jadarin: Wasn't Luck a girl, too?
Sonjia: -_- Goten's gotten everyone...
Now why don't you come back with me? Chi-Chi is probably worried sick about you running
off like that." He said. I nodded but the hurt didn't leave me it was like a hole no one could
fill.
Sonjia: With the right amount of plaster, I think we could do something.
Goku put an arm around me and gave me a brief hug for the third time in my life I started
to cry.
Jadarin: The other two times were while watching Disney movies.
The first time had been when my 'adoptive' father had died. The second time was when I
had been first chibied. And still now I do not understand why these wet drops fall from my eyes.
Sonjia: (pulls out a diagram of the eye) I could explain, but that would probably be more boring
than the fic.
I could never under stand my emotions I knew hurt and anger and calmness but not sorrow
and happiness they were things that I had never got a chance to experience. But now it was
like I had a second chance maybe Goku + Chi-Chi
Jadarin: There's a new Fusion...
Sonjia: Fuuuuuu-sion.... HA! Resulting in Gochi!
Jadarin: Or maybe Chigoku. Mess with that a tad, and we get Jigoku.
Sonjia: -_- Your kind of word, hm?
(Jigoku = Hell)
could show me what it was like to have some one that cared some one that would take care
of me and help me find out what these emotions were.
Sonjia: Or give her a dictionary and have her look them up herself.
"Goku Thank you so much for this second chance." I said in a small horse voice.
Jadarin (Val): Whinney!
He smiled down at me and hugged me again. For the first time I can say I felt loved.
"You know I have always wanted a daughter." He said. "Now it seems I got my self one." He
said.
Sonjia: Didn't he say that in the last part?
Jadarin: And I reiterate: According to this fic, he already HAS a daughter.
I smiled at him it felt good to have some one like Goku around. I felt that ping of
Evilness coming closer and closer.
Jadarin: Those evil bells were pinging away.
I frowned. "What's wrong Val?" Goku asked.
"He's coming closer he's by Mars and he's not alone." I said.
Sonjia: Translation: He's coming, and he's got Sailor Mars with him!
Goku now looked worried.
"Let's forget about Freeza for tonight and get a good night's sleep." Goku said.
Sonjia: I've been sleeping through most of this, anyway.
Jadarin: No wonder some of your comments make no sense.
We landed out side the house and walked in quietly. I fell asleep on my bead instantly
Jadarin: Rather than the Princess and the Pea, we have the Princess and the Bead.
Sonjia: Well, she IS a princess...
I was tired.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sonjia: I'm seeing little spots flying around my head. Eh heh... (passes out)
I was a week later
Jadarin (Val): She's one of them seven-day girls.
I was beginning to feel more and more at home with Goku Chi-Chi and Gohan. I was just out
for a walk by my self I was holding the bear that Had always made me happy when I was younger
Sonjia: Mister Grizzly returns!
Jadarin (bear): (CHOMP!)
even though it came from Freeza. I looked at it, it was a cute little brown bear with big
round eyes and no visible mouth he was well worn down.
Jadarin: It's hard to see the mouth from the inside.
"Ah Val how nice to see you again." A Familiar voice said I turned around to see who it
was.
Sonjia: It was Tim Curry!
Jadarin: It was Ben Stein!
"You're a bit younger then I would have expected but still your still the way I remember
you. Strong, fragile, cautious, and let's not forget
Both: -stupid.
intelligent." He said.
Both: -_-
I started charging up, getting ready for a fight but a strong pair of arms wrapped around
me they squeezed the air out of me.
Jadarin: Or rather, the air out of her head.
Sonjia: Her head then shriveled up and deflated, as there was no longer anything holding its
shape.
"Let me go!" I said breathlessly. I started to lose conciseness from lack of air.
Jadarin: Oh, so THAT'S the reason. I was wondering why there was so much discontinuity.
I blacked out and the bear that was in my hand fell onto the ground. I was taken away
from there.
I awoke in a healing chamber I felt soar from the iron arms squeezing me
Sonjia (Val): Whoa, lack of oxygen to brain... I'm flying, man!
I had 4 broken ribs and my right lung had been punctured. I breathed in through the
oxygen mask over my face I looked out the tank.
Jadarin: She was a 5 cent attraction at fair: Dunk the Insert Character.
I saw no one. I could escape especially if they under estimated my power all's I had to
do was blast the top off the tank and fly out. A sharp pain went through my side as I swam
upward.
Jadarin: It was still that time of the month.
I couldn't stand the pain and floated back down I closed my eyes and tried to forget the
pain and it slowly dulled away. I was healing faster now that I was awake.
Sonjia: Maybe she's "concise" now.
I opened my eyes and there was an ugly face staring in at me.
Jadarin: She saw her reflection in the glass.
I swam backwards startled.
"Hey Freeza your little pet is awake." I yelled. Freeza showed up and he looked in at me.
"Why do you want that monkey thing any ways?" He said.
Sonjia: Soo... Val said she was Freeza's pet, and Freeza asked her why she wants a monkey.
Jadarin: I guess she's not "concise" enough yet.
"Shut up she's stronger then she looks." Freeza said to him. I was mad I couldn't get out
now.
Sonjia: She was so mad that Freeza complimented her. How dare he!
"Is she totally healed up yet?" he asked.
"Yeah and your right she dose have kind of a high power level. 12,590,017" He said.
Sonjia: That would be the number of times I've gotten lost in this story.
"And it's climbing. It seems you have mad her mad." He said looking at him.
"Did you extra strength the tank to hold her like I said?" Freeza said. He nodded.
Jadarin: It's an extra-strength tank! It'll hold back the wildest of morons!
"Ah Val it seems we meet again don't waist your time and strength charging up this tank
is extra in forced even I couldn't break out." He said to me.
Sonjia: Translation: Don't time with your waist. Charge the tank in force so that I don't
break out.
I growled. "How long has it been since I last saw you? 13 14 years ago? And yet you only
look 10 how can that be?"
Jadarin: Because that's how old the author is, duh!
He looked at me I just starred back at him.
Sonjia: They were the little stars in front of her face from her little oxygen trip.
"Well I guess you're a mad to talk so I'm going to leave you in there to cool
down." He said.
Jadarin: She's a mad! She's a mad monkey!
Sonjia: Rabies! Aaaahh!
He walked out and so did the red guy.
Both: ?? What red guy?
I looked all over the tank it was relay well in forced with the
exception of one little place there was a crack in the glass front
Jadarin: Since ALL super technology always has one little weak spot that sends it crashing if
broken.
If I hit that place I would certainly break out. I pushed on it and Zip the crack got
larger.
Sonjia: "Zip"? That's the strangest noise I've ever heard a crack make...
I punched it and it spider webbed there was it's weakness. I punched it again and it
shattered. An alarm went off.
Sonjia: Zzzz...* Huh huh? Er, I'm awake!
"Uh oh!" I said pulling the mask off as the liquid went every where.
I blasted out the hole and then blasted a hole in the side of the ship. We were on the
moon
Jadarin: And therefore her head imploded.
Sonjia: Well, it's not like there's anything in it to get blown out by explosive decompression.
I blasted as fast as I could down to earth. I heard yelling I knew he would be after me
Sonjia: I thought "In space, no one can hear you scream".
Jadarin: Let's pretend she's wearing a space suit, and is connected by the intercom.
so I moved as fast as my Ki would let me. I landed on earth but I had no clue where I was.
Jadarin (Ryouga): WHERE ON EARTH AM I NOOOOOOOOOOW?!
I sat down confused and scared I was in the middle of some unfamiliar woods. I hid my
power level and I sat cold and alone in the woods.
Sonjia: (sigh) She's not going to get into yet ANOTHER self-pity party, is she?
No one came for me I had no clue where I was I could have been on the wrong side of the
planet for all I knew.
Jadarin: She could have been. But where she was now was anyone's guess.
I curled up and fell asleep at the foot of a tree I was cold and tired.
I awoke the next morning feeling stiff.
Sonjia: She then realized that someone had encased her in plaster during the night.
I could feel some one poking me with a stick or something.
Jadarin: I'd go with the "something". It was a link of salami.
I jumped up frightened. There was a kid with a stick looking frightened at me.
"Who or what are you?" He said. He was speaking English.
Sonjia: Finally! The first one in this story to be able to! I hope...
I knew English and Japanese they were my 2 basic language.
Jadarin: She therefore got them confused when it came to using plurals.
I looked at him.
"I am Val." I said in English.
Sonjia: Yes, that WAS English! She's learning!
"Where am I?" I asked him, he could tell I wasn't English.
Jadarin: She didn't have the spiffy accent.
"You're in Wyoming in the Untied states." He said. "How did you get here from where ever?
By the way I'm Justin." He said.
Sonjia: (sniffles) I thought she said he spoke English! English has commas! Where are the
commas?!
I stretched my legs.
"I came here from Japan…" I said.
Jadarin: I thought she just came from the moon. Or is that where Japan is in this story?
"Wow that's a long ways away." He said. I nodded. "What are you? I have never seen a
human with a tail before so you can't be from earth." I laughed.
Sonjia: Oh yeah, just because she's not human, she just CAN'T be from earth!
Jadarin: Darn those alien squirrels and such.
"Your right I'm not from here I'm a Sayian." I said.
Jadarin: Chinese!
Sonjia: Aiya!
I looked up at the sky it was morning every one back at home was probably worried sick
about me.
Sonjia: I'm more inclined to believe that they're partying.
"I came from a planet long gone now called Vejitasei." I said to him. "But that was a
long time ago."
Jadarin: Translation: I came from a planet that got destroyed and is now called Vejitasei.
"Wait this sounds kind of like Super Man did your parents send you here as a baby? Was
your planet going to explode?" He asked I looked at him.
Sonjia (Val): Super...Man? Hm, tell me more about this. I can write myself into that
storyline too and have the series revolve around me!
"You have been reading too many comics." I said. "Yes my planet was destroyed, I was one
of the few who survived but it was destroyed by an Evil man who did it.
Jadarin: And he did it frequently.
Sonjia: -_- You know, I've come to realize that there's nothing I can do to stop you from
saying those things. I shouldn't waste my energy hitting you.
Jadarin: Really? All right!
Sonjia: (thwacks him)
I came here on my own. Well let me not boar you with my story." I said.
Sonjia (Val): I'll badger you instead.
He started to ask a million questions and kept comparing me to super man.
Sonjia: Or rather, he appears to be badgering her.
This got me ticked off.
Jadarin: She's not Superman! She's the Tick!
Sonjia: SPOON!
"OK kid listen I could kill Super Man and I'm starting to think about killing you too,
now run off before I do!" I growled. My fist was glowing and he saw it and ran off.
Sonjia: Hopefully to find the REAL DBZ characters to beat her up and continue the fic without
her.
I flew up and looked at the rising sun that was east, I wanted to go west but to the
west was trouble and Freesia.
Jadarin: Oh, well, she CAN'T head west if there's flowers there.
Well the only way to know for sure, what was going on, was to head west and see for
my self.
Sonjia: Go West, little monkey!
I blasted off.
Jadarin: So she's heading back to the moon?
I landed in front of Goku's house and it was dark they were all asleep.
Sonjia: They had been trying to read this fic, too.
I walked in the door and I saw Goku asleep at the kitchen table he looked so peaceful. I
got a blanket out of the closet and threw it over him.
Jadarin: Since he was also on fire.
I searched the icebox for something to eat I hadn't eaten since earlier that morning. I
ate my fill not waking Goku or Chi-Chi or Gohan.
Sonjia: My, what a rude houseguest...
I walked into the living room and saw Vegeta sleeping on the couch. I pulled a blanket
over him and went up stairs and climbed into bed.
Sonjia: (falls asleep as well)
Jadarin: Oh, come on. Hopefully it'll pick up now that the real characters have at least been
mentioned.
I awoke the next morning I heard voices down stairs. One I could tell was Vegeta he must
have just woken up.
Jadarin (Vegeta): (groggily) Darn it... where's my... damn coffee....?
There was a loud thud as Vegeta tipped Goku's chair over. I heard him get up and yell at
Vegeta then Vegeta ask him something.
Jadarin (Vegeta): Whaddaya mean you only have decaf?!
Then they were quiet. I yawned and rolled over I heard thudding as they ran up the stairs.
My door went flying open and their Stood Vegeta and Goku.
Sonjia: Stood Vegeta? Don't tell me yet ANOTHER unknown relative has dropped by...
I sat up and looked at them. "Good morning." I said to the sleepily.
Jadarin: She paid no attention to anyone else there but the sleepily.
They looked at me surprised they couldn't believe I was there in my own bed.
Sonjia: Meaning... they'd expected her to be in someone ELSE's bed?
Jadarin: (smiles and shurgs)
"Val how did you get here!" Vegeta said running over to me he hugged me.
Both: o_O
Sonjia: It was... um, a bear hug of death. He was, uh, trying to crush her ribs. Yeah.
Jadarin: Either that, or this is what he's like before his coffee.
"You scared us all disappearing like that." He said.
"Vegeta I think you should let go so she can speak." Goku said. He let go and looked at
Goku. "No I didn't see you just do that." He said.
Sonjia: And I wish we hadn't, either. Why do girls insist on making him mushy and sensitive
all the time?
"Now Val what happened?"
"Well I was just walking through the woods when I was grabbed from behind and I lost
consciousness because of lack of air
Jadarin: I thought it was "conciseness".
Sonjia: Well, she never had that to begin with.
and then I find my self in a healing chamber." I said. "That's where I saw Freeza and
some red guy he called his brother."
Sonjia: Please let it be Coola. Please let it be Coola. Please let it be Coola...
"YOU MEAN COOLER'S WITH HIM TOO?!" Vegeta yelled.
"Well if that's his name yes it was Cooler any way.
Sonjia: Yay! Some continuity!
They had me in an in forced tank but the front glass was cracked so I just busted out
that way." I said. I looked at them and they were a little beat up.
Jadarin: Yet another result of Vegeta not getting his coffee.
"I missed the fight didn't I?" I said. They looked at each other.
"Yes but We didn't kill him.
Sonjia: More continuity! Er, sort of. As long as Trunks was the one who killed him.
But umm I'll tell you about that Later Val I'm just glad you back." Goku said he hugged
me tight.
"Can't breath need air help…" I said. He let go.
Jadarin: Brain no function air without.
Sonjia: That explains it.
"Sorry Val." He said. "Why didn't you wake me when you came in?"
"Because you looked peaceful sleeping there in that chair leaned back. And Vegeta was
never a morning person so I wasn't going to wake him up." I said.
Jadarin: Again with the coffee!
Vegeta looked at me angrily. "You remember last time when I disappeared and came back I
wanted to tell you I was OK and you turned around and hit me and went back to sleep." I said.
Sonjia: Which is about the reaction from him I'd expect.
"Well now it's a little different. I'm older and you're much younger." Vegeta said.
Jadarin: Yeah, that's REAL different.
Sonjia (Vegeta): I used to be older than you, but now I'm older than you! So NYAH!
"Oh my Gods my brother dose cares."
Sonjia: He
Jadarin: WHAT?!
I hugged him and looked totally embarrassed in front of Goku. He ruffled my hair
as he looked down at me.
"Yeah well don't go telling the world." He muttered.
Jadarin: He might get arrested.
"Now your not going any where with out ether
Sonjia (Val): Ether is goooooood.... Wheeeeee......!
me or Goku around for a while. You hear I don't want any protesting from you now."
"Oh come on he's gone!" I wined.
Jadarin: Jeez, first she's high, now she's drunk, Vegeta was on drugs...
Sonjia: Such a wholesome story.
"It's for your own good." He said. "Me and Goku already decided.
Both: (shudder at that sentence structure)
You aren't strong enough to be out there on your own any more so that is why you will be
staying here permanently with him. Understood?" he said.
Sonjia: So... Vegeta's really concerned about her, so is leaving her in the care of the person
he hates most?
Jadarin (Vegeta): Kakarotto, feel my wrath! Babysit my little sister!
Sonjia: Ah, that's more like it.
I sighed and nodded.
"That's good. Now what are your plans for today?"
Sonjia (Val): Same thing I do every day. Try to take over the world!
"Well nothing relay it's a weekend and all's I want to do is find my bear." I said.
Jadarin: On first glance, I thought that said "beer".
Sonjia: Seeing how the story was going earlier, I wouldn't have been surprised.
"That and study, we have a test Monday." I said.
Sonjia: In English grammar. She didn't have a snowball's chance.
"Well then we don't have to worry about much Goku can watch you today." Vegeta said. With
that he got up and left.
Jadarin (Vegeta): Yes! Ditched her with the moron!
Goku shook his head at him as he left.
"Well where did you leave that Bear?" he said to me. I got up and I was still in my
clothes from the other day
Sonjia: Yes, we're all very glad she's still wearing clothes.
well they weren't my clothes they were Gohan's they still hadn't got me my own clothes I
was staring to wonder if I would
Jadarin: -end this sentence anytime soon.
always have to wear his hand me downs.
"In the woods where I was first taken." I said I stretched my legs and looked out the
window as Vegeta walked out of the house and blasted off home.
Sonjia: Wow, it's a long way back to Vejitasei...
I was trying to remember the direction I had taken the day before. "Witch way did I
leave in the morning?" I asked him.
Jadarin: She went the Witch Way, riding a broomstick and cackling evilly.
"To the east that was the last time I saw you." Goku said. Gohan walked in looking sleepy
he saw that I was there he ran over to me and hugged me.
Sonjia: Can't... comprehend... why people like her so much.
Jadarin: Has she EVER made an enemy in the fics she's inserted herself into? She's revered as
a goddess in most of them.
Sonjia: Now THAT's going a little too far...
"Val I'm glad your back." Gohan said hugging me. "We were worried about you."
"Thanks for caring but I'm starting to get soar from the breath being squeezed out of me."
I said.
Jadarin: She therefore lost conciseness again.
He laughed as he let go. "Thanks it relay was starting to hurt after being squeezed till
I passed out then hugged by Vegeta and Goku and sleeping on the hard ground is absolutely no
help." I said.
Sonjia: That's what she calls their beds, and they still like her?
"You OK Val?" Gohan said worried. I nodded and then headed downstairs Chi-Chi hugged me
Sonjia: Another hug? Gaahh...
Jadarin: What she's not telling us is that everyone is putting "Kick Me" signs on her back when
they hug her.
and made me an extra big breakfast. Then I went out with Goku to find my bear.
Jadarin: And the plot thickens...
Sonjia: DUHN DUHN DUUUUHHHHNNNNNN!
It was hard to find it because a dear trampled it
Sonjia: Do be a good dear and trample this bear.
and it was badly beat up and I picked it up carefully and sniffled.
Jadarin (Val): Smells like... dirt.
It was almost ruined there was stuffing coming out the seams one glass eye was cracked.
Sonjia: Gaah! The bear has a glass eye!
Jadarin: I wonder if it has a smiley face on it.
I looked at it and tears started rolling down my cheeks. My best friend that I ever had,
was ruined, but I clutched him tight in my arms.
Sonjia: Was that just... a comma I saw?
Jadarin: Yes.
Sonjia: Was it used correctly?
Jadarin: No.
I just felt a sadness of losing such a valueless thing
Jadarin: (cracks up)
Sonjia: Shows how much appreciation she has for things...
but I guess to me it was worth my weight in gold.
Sonjia: It's worth nothing, but it's worth everything!
Goku put his arm around me and we walked home in silence.
"Maybe Chi-Chi can patch it up for you Val." Goku said. And she did all's I had to do was
ask her
Jadarin: Who's "all", and what is ChiChi doing to his I?
Sonjia: I'm not going to ask.
and soon my bear was looking normal minus the cracked eye and it was more stuffed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Sonjia: So, are those supposed to be the cracked eyes?
It was maybe eleven years after that day seven years after the Androids came and went.
Jadarin: That timeline isn't quite right, but let's humor her.
Sonjia: I wonder if she knows enough to know that this also means Goku is dead?
Seven years since I last saw them all, you see after four years of living with the Son's
I still felt I was nothing but a bother to them.
Sonjia: And she was right.
So I had faked my own death I let 18 beat me to a bloody pulp and then she left me there.
Jadarin: #18 is #1! Yes!
Every one believed I was dead and it hurt me to let them think that but it was for there
own good.
Sonjia: However, what they didn't know would in fact hurt them.
I know my brother must have cried his little sister wiped out and he couldn't stop me,
Jadarin: That almost sounds like she fell off her bike.
because he was half-alive then, and I had only been trying to save him.
Sonjia: You see, mostly-dead is slightly alive.
Jadarin: So she's taken the place of Trunks, now?
I looked at the time as I perspired onto the ground I was in a gravity chamber doing
pushups.
Sonjia: So... she's training at Capsule Corp, yet everyone is somehow oblivious to her presence.
If your wondering how I can train and not be found, it's because I uses a small machine I
built a long time ago that conceals one's power level.
Sonjia: No, my question was more along the lines of "Where did you get a gravity chamber
without going to Capsule Corp"?
It' fit's on my belt and it keeps time and inside my gravity chamber it's been installed
so I can train with out having to worry.
Jadarin (Val): I can train and not worry about what time it is!
Sonjia: Yeah, that would make me feel a lot safer!
It was almost 6 I had to meet my best friend, these days, Jay, at the bar down the road.
Sonjia: Looks like after a short detour into the actual plot, we're back off-track.
Jadarin: She's off to get drunk so she can come up with more story.
I finished my pushups and then walked out and showered then changed into clean clothes.
Jadarin (Vegeta): Oh, boo hoo, I lost my dear little sister. Oh, hello, whoever you are.
Sonjia (Val): (wearing Marx glasses) Hello.
Jadarin: And that is how she stayed concealed for so long.
I looked at my self in the merrier I didn't look bad.
Sonjia: The worse, the merrier.
Jadarin: Sometimes you gotta wonder how bad the spelling had to be originally for the auto-
spellcheck to come up with these words.
I didn't look much like I did before my hair was shorter just about the middle of my
shoulder blades I was 6' even again
Sonjia: Again with the ridiculously tall people!
my sapphire blue eye's shone under my bangs and my hair seemed to be more of a black then
the brown it uses to be. It would be hard to recognize me unless you looked at me for a long
time
Jadarin: Actually, your writing style is immediately recognizable.
and if you knew what I looked like twelve years ago when I was 17 again. Now I was only
21 and I had to meet Jay down at the bar in 20 minutes.
Sonjia: Goodness, she actually got some basic math right!
It was only a 15-minute walk.
"Val you're early." Jay said as I walked in at 6:27. "Come have a beer."
Jadarin: I think we can tell what Anime's looking forward to in about ten years.
Sonjia: These fics are in the gutter, and when she's 21, she'll join them.
"Thanks and who cares if I'm early as long as I'm not late." I said.
"Yes the last thing we want is you being late." He said.
Jadarin: Since it's so important to drink beer on schedule.
I sat down and put my hands behind my head and leaned back. "We got the best table and I
reserved a song for you."
Jadarin: "Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead"?
Sonjia: "Da Da Da"?
Jadarin: "Particle Man"?
"I'm not going to sing." I said.
Both: GOOD!
"Yes you are I'm going to drag you up there and make you sing."
Sonjia: Pleeeeeeease don't! I don't want to have to die again!"
Jadarin: If an act such as that is even mentioned in this fic, you can be sure she will sing.
"I don't want to I haven't sang a song since-"
Jadarin: "Hot Cross Buns" in elementary school!
"Since your shower last night." He said cutting me off.
"I meant in front of people."
Sonjia: Oh, well, in that case, never.
"Well tonight you are again." He said as he signaled the waitress. "On Sam Adams for my
friend here." He said to her.
Jadarin: What the heck did that mean?
"Just relax Val, you are so tense."
"Well if you were in my shoes you would be too." I said.
Sonjia: Since her shoes probably don't fit him.
I always felt someone was hunting me but I didn't know who it was. I guess it was just my
past I knew that some day it was going to catch up to me.
Jadarin: Actually, it already caught up with her, found nothing of interest, and moved on.
My beer came and I drank it down and chatted with Jay.
Both: (make chipmunk noises)
Then I felt a power level being hidden but no all too well walk in as I finished my first
beer.
Sonjia: What the heck was that sentence even SUPPOSED to say?
I glanced around and saw him. It was Gohan I knew it I could tell by the way he walked
and by his looks. He was with a young woman who held on to his arm.
Sonjia: Who is hopefully Videl.
(Yes it's Videl but there only going out at this point they are not married
yet)
Jadarin: Well, duh. They didn't get married until after the Buu saga, which according to this
timeline, is still a year away.
I turned and looked at Jay. "Shit."
Jadarin (Jay): Here? Okay, but you have to clean up.
Sonjia: (shudders)
"What is it Val?"
"I just saw an old friend." I said.
Sonjia: Yeah, that's always reason to swear randomly.
He knew what I meant He looked around. "He just walked in and is probably sitting down
with a younger girl short black hair cut in a boyish fashion." I said.
Jadarin: Wow, that's pretty descriptive for a "probably".
"I see him is that Gohan?" he said.
"Yeah."
Sonjia: And what the heck would Mr. Great Saiyaman, college-bound kid be doing in a bar?
Jadarin: Undercover investigation. (nods)
"Well I doubt he'll recognize you and if he dose you can always leave but after your song."
"No you're still making me sing?"
Sonjia: (groan) Noooo!
"YEAH! Val you're going to sing." Jess said. Jess was one of our group members.
Patches: (starts cracking up)
Sonjia: Um, what's this about?
Patches: Nothing, nothing. I probably shouldn't say. Sorry.
We were a group of 6 all good friends from high school who stayed together.
"Our next song is going to be Sun by Miss Valerie Presario!" the woman at the Karoke
machine said.
Jadarin: Valparaiso!
That was my new name though Jay knew my real name. "Come on up Valerie!"
"Get up there Val!" they all said pushing me on to stage.
Sonjia: They needed someone to throw fruit at.
"OK, OK fine I'll sing…" I said. I took the microphone and looked at the screen.
Jadarin (Val): (reading the screen) "I'm Henry the Eighth, I am. Henry the Eighth, I am, I
am..."
"Oh yeah I... tell you something" I started singing, I knew this song by heart.
Sonjia: Just by that lyric, I don't know what she's singing. But it'll hopefully become
painfully obvious.
Jadarin: Maybe it's more Britney Spears.
Sonjia: NOOOOOOO!!
"I think you'll understand
When I... say that something
I want to hold your hand...!
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Sonjia: Is she singing... Beatles?!
Jadarin: Well, that's better than Britney Spears.
Oh please... say to me
You want to be my man
And please... say to me
You'll let me hold your hand!
Now let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Sonjia: (scrolls down) Good gods, how long is this song?
Jadarin: This is overdoing it a tad.
And when touch you I feel happy... inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide... I can't hide... I can't hide!
Yeah... yeah... yeah!
Yeah you... got that something
I think you'll understand
When I... Say that something
I want to hold your hand...!
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand!
And when touch you I feel happy... inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide... I can't hide... I can't hide!
Yeah... yeah... yeah!
Oh please... say to me
You want to be my man
And please... say to me
You'll let me hold your hand!
Now let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Wanna hold your hand wanna hold your hand wanna hold your hand boy
Wanna hold your hand wanna hold your hand wanna hold your hand boy
Sonjia: I don't think this is how the song went...
Jadarin: It's probably a modern-day bastardazation.
Oh yeah I... tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I... say that something
I wanna hold your hand...
I wanna hold your hand...
I wanna hold your hand!" I finished.
Sonjia: Finally.
Jadarin: Hey, and you lived through it!
Every one clapped and whistled, and I could feel him looking at me he knew it was me but
I had to play it cool and I opened my eyes and every one asked for an Encore.
Jadarin: And what exactly would they be wanting to watch on that channel?
"OK, OK you want me to sing another?" I said.
Both: NO!
I was almost blown back by a loud yes. "OK this one is for my good friend Jay for forcing
me up here. Thanks allot you pain in my ass." I said to him.
Sonjia: (whimpering) She's gonna do it again?
Jadarin: This is going WAY too far.
He just put on a big goofy grin. "Here I go."
"I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To prey on,
Sonjia: She eats stars?
Jadarin: Must give her lots of gas.
Both: (crack up)
or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was hopeless to be had
But then the Dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
-Hunger hurts, and I want him bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't want to clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today,
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby he said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And fail to kiss is a fail cope
I said "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void." - he said
"It's all in your head," and I said, "So is everything" -
But he didn't get it - I thought he was a man
But he was a little boy
-Hunger hurts, and I want him bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't want to clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love
-Hunger hurts, and I want him bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't want to clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works,
When it costs too much to love" I finished.
Sonjia: (hair ruffled) And please let that be the FINAL finish...
Every one clapped and whistled as I climbed down from the stage. This was something I
would never do.
Jadarin: Then why? WHY did you do this to us?
But it felt good as everyone whistled and clapped for me. I walked over to my table as
the music started again. "You happy now?" I said.
Both: (make motions to kill her)
"Yup I'm happy. I got you another beer on me Val." He said pointing to the glass.
Jadarin (Jay): But it's on me right now, so if you want it, you'll have to suck it off my shirt.
"Thanks." I picked it up and started to chug it. "I'm thirsty after that."
"I see you want another? Or do you want to try to start a chugging contest?"
Jadarin: What are you looking for?
Sonjia: Something even REMOTELY Dragonball about this story.
"Ha, ha, funny Jay." I said hitting him playfully upside the head.
"Or you could leave cause it looks like Gohan is coming this way." He said. I finished my
beer.
Sonjia: Drunken moronic self-obsessed grade-schooler... grumble grumble...
Jadarin: o_O Er, are you going to be okay?
"See you later Val have fun studying." He said.
"Later Jay. By peeps, you know I love yah!" I said as I left.
Sonjia: Leave. Leave and don't ever come back.
Jadarin: Iyaaa, I almost feel sorry for Anime, having a god mad at her. Almost. But it's not
like you could do too much to her anyway.
Sonjia: Just WATCH me suck her soul dry!! (snaps fingers)
Jadarin: ^_^* Oi, you're actually mad enough to use THAT?
"By Valerie!" A lot of people shouted back. "Come back later!" They yelled too.
"I'll try." I walked out and headed quickly down the road.
Sonjia: She had a drug pusher to meet.
Jadarin: I'm going to be afraid of Anime when she grows up.
I dug deep into my pockets and pulled out my keys and my dog tags fell out of my pocket.
The only thing I had left to remind me of who I was.
Sonjia: Since she was constantly forgetting her own name, so had to have a tag to remind her.
I went to bend over and pick them up but Gohan picked them up first.
"Long time no see Valdamarisha." He said handing them back to me after looking at them.
"Yeah I could say the same Gohan." I said flatly taking them back but he held onto the
chain.
Jadarin: He's stalking her. He's planning on killing her.
Sonjia: And there would be much rejoicing.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
"Around, but that doesn't matter to you." I said.
Jadarin (Gohan): Actually, it does matter, because I need to find out everything you've
affected so I can wipe away any trace of your existence.
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to. You all thought I was dead so why not let you not have to worry
about me any more? Why let me be a bother in any one's life?" I said truthfully.
Sonjia: (fumes) Because you're being a bother BECAUSE of that! People don't read fics to read
about YOU!
Patches: I think the self-insertion theme is getting to her...
Sonjia: YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK!
I always felt like a bother unless I was on my own. He looked at me closely and hard.
Jadarin (Gohan): You have mustard on your lip.
"You know every one misses you." He said.
"No, I didn't know that, I didn't know any one relay cared." I said.
Sonjia: That's because they didn't relay caring to you.
"I cared, your brother went crazy when he found out you were dead, or when he thought you
were dead. He went crazy also because you had saved him and he lived while you died." He said.
Jadarin: Therefore, he is now in the corner of his gravity room, staring blankly into space and
singing showtunes.
"Val why didn't you tell us you were alive just let us know you didn't have to tell us
where you were just let us know you were alive."
Sonjia: (clutches head) What did that say? What did that SAY?!
Jadarin: Um, "You should tell us you were alive, but you didn't have to tell us, just let us
know."
"Because I didn't want my brother to come looking for me he would have searched the city
non stop looking for me. And I didn't want that I like my life now."
Sonjia (Val): I like being a drunk!
Jadarin: Takes away the feeling in her brain. She no longer has to think.
"Well now I know you're alive.
"Are you going to tell the others?"
"No not yet I want to know more about what you've been doing for the last seven years."
Sonjia: And thus the storyline will primarily focus on HER again...
Jadarin: There there. It's almost done.
"That's a long story."
"So start talking."
"Don't you have a girl friend back in there you should get back to?"
Jadarin: Yeah, go back to Videl! And take the storyline with you!
"Well yeah…"
"Why don't I tell you later."
"Fine, give me your number then." I gave it to him.
Jadarin (Gohan): 666? Hm, guess I should've figured as much.
"I'll call you tomorrow." He said. Before he could finish I had taken off leaving him
with my dog tags. He looked at them and put them around his neck and headed back inside.
Sonjia: He's a masochist! He wants people to think that HE'S Anime?
I sighed from the top of the building I had flown to and then I jumped from building to
building and headed back home to the dorms.
Jadarin: Where the heck did she get the money to go to college?
Sonjia: She never actually said she was IN college. She just hangs around campus to get drunk
with the frat boys.
I walked in and did some studying until I fell asleep. I think Jay put me on my bed when
he came in.
Jadarin: Wow! That school allows unannounced coed visitation at all hours? I wanna go there!
He never got drunk none of us ever did I rarely got drunk after a chugging contest witch
was good for me.
Sonjia: Yeah, you just keep thinking like that after having eight shots, then wrapping your car
around a tree.
Jadarin: I almost feel sorry for her that she thinks she can drink as much as she wants and
still be fine. Almost.
I awoke in my bed still in last night's clothes to Jay yelling. "VAL GET UP PHONE!"
Sonjia (Val): Fine, fine. Hey, Phone, wake up.
Jadarin: It almost sounds like Jay's her roommate. They'd have to be married, then!
Sonjia: Eew.
"Tell them to call me back in an hour."
"It's Gohan."
"Tell him call me back in an hour."
Jadarin: He was trying to sell her a credit card.
"He said you have 2 minutes to pick up the phone before he calls Vegeta."
"Arrgggg!" I said as I sat up.
Sonjia: Yeah, that's pretty much my reaction to this whole fic.
"Here's the morning person her self." He said handing the phone over to me. "You look
sexy in the morning wearing that Val!" he said loud enough for Gohan to hear.
Jadarin: Therefore giving Gohan a good laugh.
I threw the telephone book at him. "Hee, hee OW! Val… that hurt you big bully." He said
in a hurt voice.
"Ah shut up Jay." I said. "Good morning Gohan." I said into the phone.
Sonjia: Morning Gohan = asa-gohan = breakfast!
Jadarin: She's talking to her breakfast. Tsk tsk... poor crazy kid.
"Still a morning person I see Val." He said. "Was that your boy friend or something?"
"No that was my best friend these days Jay. He's just being an ass like usual.
Jadarin: And is, for some unknown reason, living in her room...
Sonjia: Pervert...
I don't have a boyfriend I'm living it single, though Jay likes to say other wise."
Jadarin: Ah, so they're PRETENDING to be married so they can live together.
Sonjia: Isn't that illegal?
Jadarin: Considering this fic breaks all other accepted standards, I don't think we should care
anymore.
"Oh…" There was a pause as if he was thinking about something. "Well how about lunch
today? You're not busy are you?"
"Not relay… I just woke up." I said.
Sonjia: Translation: I don't know what I'm doing, but don't tell me.
"I have no clue what I'm doing today yet. I'll have to look at my calendar." I said.
"SHE'S FREE ALL DAY!" Jay yelled.
Jadarin: Tomorrow, she'll be $20 an hour.
I threw another book at him. "AH!" He ducked.
Sonjia: Curse you for ducking!
Jadarin: Oro? That book was aimed at me?
"Well according to Jay I'm free."
"Well fine I'll meet you at the Daily Planet at 12:30 sharp."
Both: (fall over twitching)
Sonjia: Why? Why the Superman references again?
Jadarin: Because in reality, Val is Bizarro.
"What if I'm late?"
"Then I call Vegeta and I have evidence that you're alive too."
Sonjia: Anou... having someone else's dog tags is usually proof that they're DEAD.
"Gurrr I hate you some times you know that?"
Jadarin: The feeling is mutual.
"I know, I love black mail that and now that I'm finally taller then you."
Sonjia: But if he was shorter than her, he couldn't blackmail her.
I did notice I kind of had to look up at him for once.
Jadarin: However, Gohan, even as an adult, is NOT over six feet.
Sonjia: She must be sitting down.
"I'll see you at 12:30 sharp and I know you're never late."
Jadarin: If she's Anime, I can assure you she is.
"Yeah, yeah I'll see you later." We hung up. "Great now I got to face my past and
hopefully Vegeta isn't stronger then me so when I do go back he doesn't beat the living day
lights out of me for doing what I did do." I said out loud.
Sonjia: Really? Wow, now I hope he's gotten lots stronger!
"I doubt it Val. I think it's goo for you to face your past.
Jadarin (Gohan): It's goo for you! (dumps goo all over her head)
By the way it's already 11:20 so you might want to start by
taking a shower and changing." He said.
"EE! That son of a bitch."
Sonjia: Spiff, Gohan's a EE (Electrical Engineer)?
Jadarin: He's probably wiring a bomb for her.
I said I ran to the bathroom and turned on the water. I swear I was going to pop him one,
one of these days.
Sonjia: Pop him a water balloon, that is.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jadarin: Er, why is that divider mark there? This is the end...
Sonjia: It is?! Finally!
Jadarin: Well, the end of this PART. There's still another one. And who knows if that's
actually the end.
Sonjia: I'd highly doubt it. Even if it was, it wouldn't seem like it.
Jadarin: So, what made you so upset about this fic?
Sonjia: Oh, I was just getting irritated at Anime. Fanfiction should NOT revolve around insert
characters.
Jadarin: So what exactly do you call us?
Sonjia: Hm, I suppose we are at fault as well. I hope there isn't someone somewhere irritated
at ME...
Jadarin: Well, you've got someone right here!
Sonjia: Besides you! I mean, what if there's someone out there right now who's irked like
crazy at Patches for having us, insert characters, in a fanfic?
Jadarin: It's the price we have to pay, I suppose.
Sonjia: Wow, we're acting sort of serious.
Jadarin: Must be tired. Let's put this one to rest.
Stinger: "Val why didn't you tell us you were alive just let us know you didn't have to tell us
where you were just let us know you were alive." (
