Ara's POV

I looked around. Staring at the bar that I remember being unconscious beside, and the tall building we'd used to get into the atmosphere.. and the image of frieza's ship looming over us carved into my kind.

I sighed.

Toma put me on my feet and smiled. I watched as everyone got in their pods.

Toma crouched in front of me.

"If anything goes wrong come to me ok? I'm worried about you Ara" he told me.

I smirked slightly. "That's nice to hear toma but I don't suggest you show out enemy that you have sympathy for a 10 year old brat " I told him. He chuckled and shook his head standing up. He ruffled my hair and went to his own pod.

I sat in my own pod and just watched. I sighed and hugged my knees. I want my family.. I want Zeno and Mikey.. I mean I'm glad their alive but.. does that mean I've changed the timeline ? Does that mean Goku will never go to earth? And dad and mom will never meet ?.. I'll never exist ?..

"Landing on planet ---" the robot voice said. Buzzing at the end and cutting itself off. I guess the planets name as unknown. Mustn't be in the data base yet.

I sighed and stretched as my pod landed. We all split up without saying a word to eachother.

I flew around the planet, scanning to see if there were any power levels. There was nothing, this place was a wasteland. Yet I did my job and kept flying around.

I did this for hours, till I finally heard something on my scouter.

"Hey kid, meet us in the centre of the planet. We need to regroup" Totapo's voice said.

"Got it. I'll be there in a sec" I replied. I flew as fast as I could to them, landing. This looked even worse then the rest of the planet.

I saw bardock and I smiled.

"I swear there is no one here. I've scanned the planet and not a damn sole insight" pumbukin said. We all nodded in agreement.

"We should head, back tell the king that this planet was a dud " bardock said.

Suddenly a large beep came from our scouters.

"What the-" I tried to say till an agonising pain went through my back and stomach. I coughed up blood and looked down. A large sword was stabbed through me.

"Ara!!" My team screamed.

Suddenly a crazy laughter came from behind me.

"Finally !! I've gotten a saiyan ! I won't let you take my planet you little bitch !! Rot in hell with the rest of your filthy race !!" He screamed. Everything went black as I felt her rip it out.. it was dark. I was scared. It was over.

I closed my eyes and expected to wake up on snakes way or with king Yama. But I didn't.

It was dark. A figure emerged from the darkness. It was the odd looking man I remember seeing a while ago..

I looked at myself. I was back to my normal age.

"You wished that they all lived. That would have been your fate if the did. They had to die for you to live and for their stories to be told" he said to me.

"Who are you ?" I asked. He didn't answer simply walking away into the darkness.

End of dream

I started to wake up when the smell of whiskey burned my nose.

I sneezed and woke up. I saw Mikey awake as well looking as confused as I was.

I covered my mouth & nose with my sleeve, Mikey copied my action.

We went down stairs to hear people laughing. Three men more specifically. Mikey fallowed cautiously behind me as he would, yet I just walked straight in. The smell became stronger and even caused me to gag a bit and my tail to wrap around my waist tightly.

There I saw Zeno, krillin and then drinking from roshi's stash.

I sighed in annoyance. "Of course.." I muttered.

Mikey hid behind me. 

Tien looked at us. He smiled. A drunk blush spread across his cheeks.

"Ara! Long time no see kid ! Join us for a drink" he said... the most sensible guy I know is offering me alcohol. I smirks. This is priceless !

"I'm good bud" I explained.

"Aww come on princess !" Zeno yelled. For once I wasn't comfortable with him calling me that.

"Yeah!" Krillin yelled before hiccuping. "It's great !" He yelled.

I shrugged.

"Oh god.. no Ara please don't " Mikey begged but I ignored it. Zeno poured me a glass and pushed it over to me.

I picked it up and smelt it. My nose felt like it was on fire.

"Hey! How about we have a game? Ara, if you can beat us in a drinking game then we will do what ever the hell you want for a day" tien said.

"Oh Kami.. Ara please-"

"Mikey shh. Sure, I'll play your stupid game "I replied.

Krillin smiled. "Great!" He yelled.

They poured themselves more drinks and began to drink as fast as they could. I swirled the whiskey around in the cup. I had no intention of drinking it. But they were drunk so they wouldn't remember this anyway.

After about three shots krillin couldn't see shit, tien was unconscious and Zeno.. I actually don't know where he's gone but I'll find him in a minute. I poured my drink behind the couch. Zeno came back in and looked pale yet still drunk.

"Looks like you won kid.. I'm proud and annoyed at you" he said. I laughed a bit.

"And why is that my friend ?" I asked with a mischievous smirk on my features. I probably look like my father in a good mood.

"I'm proud because I taught you well enough not to fucking drink and you didn't. I'm annoyed because im going to have a fucking hangover now.." he told me before growling in pain. I chuckled slightly.

"Let's go home Zeno " i told him, I'm smirk turning into a caring smile.

Mikey came out from the living room.

"Finally. I thought we'd never leave." He said. I smiled and put an arm around my best friend.

"Aww is the lightweight scared ?" I teased.

"N-no!.. I'm just worried about you all" Mikey told me.

"And I have no clue why. Come on bud, Jake should be gone by now, and your staying in the same room as me and Zeno. Mom made me a bigger bed " I said.

Mikey smiles happily and nodded. Zeno only nodded. I stretched and teleported us home.

It didn't look like anyone was here. I walked past trunks' room to see him asleep. I smiled slightly. I tossed Mikey the capsule wth the bigger bed for us in it.

"You both get that set up. I'm gonna go get my pyjamas " i told him. He nodded and they both went into my room. I smiled slightly.

I went out of our house and down in the building where the old woman (bulma's mom) put all the washed clothes. I always thought that she was as blind as a bat but it seems she isn't. Maybe I thought that because she never opens her fucking eyes !!

I sighed, grabbing my oversized pyjama shirt and pyjama shorts. I swore I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door of the room. I just shrugged in off as grandpa (bulma's dad) doing one of his stupid experiments. Or maybe he was fixing my bike. He does move around a lot when he does that.

I shrugged it off and got changed, throwing my dirty, sand covered clothes on the wash and putting my pyjamas on. I tightened bardock's bandana so it wouldn't fall off and put the king's talisman over my shirt. After that nightmare the guilt seemed to get worse. I ignored it..

I yawned and opened my door as I started to walk down the hall. Suddenly someone grabbed my arms and pushed me against the wall. Holding them over my head.

Oh fuck my life....
