"Honey, are you sure you're okay?" Bulma asked.
"I'm... fine. I'm fine, Mama, Papa. Could you... could you leave me alone for a while?" 'So you could give me a chance to sneak away,' thought Bra.

“But...”

"I'm fine Mama. Papa, could you leave too? I just need to think for a while."
"Fine! You were the one that called me over here in the first place..."
"Thank you Daddy...." Bra said, manipulating his emotions.

Vegeta looked as though he was going to say something but thought better of it. Bulma spared no time and started dragging Vegeta away from the room. Just as he was about to protest, Bulma started to speak.

"Just leave her alone. She needs some time to rest. I don't think that we should bother her..."
Bra listened as their voices faded into the kitchen. 'Good. Safe for now,' she thought. She climbed out of the bed. Her muscles ached slightly, but it was something easily ignored. She went to the window and climbed out, keeping her ki down as low as possible and making sure no one could see her. Climbing towards the roof, she searched out for Junior's ki. 'Good, he's alone.'

Bra maneuvered over the roof to the room with ease. 'Like a cat,' she thought. She reached Junior's window and tapped it. Junior looked up and saw Bra's upside down face. He ran to the window and opened it.

"Good, you're here! Now we can get Mejihen and go!" Junior whispered.
"Huh? What are you talking about? I was just going to ask..."
"No, not now. Later. We have to go get Pan. She's going far away. Please?"
Bra looked at Junior, then sighed, defeated. If he was anything like Pan, he wasn't going to give up until he found her. Better to have someone watching over him.

Junior nodded and climbed out to Bra. He pointed to a window where she supposed Mejihen was. It wasn't like she could sense him anyway.
They weren't able to reach the window so they had to jump down. Bra jumped first and dodged quickly when Junior almost fell on top of her. She glared at him for a second but he didn't pay any mind. Instead he was looking in to the window of the room Mejihen was in. He was sitting on the floor and had his knees to his chest and his head in his hands as though he was thinking. Junior tapped lightly on the glass. Mejihen looked up and walked over to the window.
After a brief instruction of pointing and whispering, he figured out how to open it.

"Yes?"
"Mejihen," Junior started, "You have to come with us."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because nobody will be able to feel us leave if you come with us," Bra answered.
"Why?"
Bra shrugged. Junior grabbed Mejihen and started leading him out of the window. He reluctantly followed, knowing there was no use going against the boy's strength.

"We have to help my sister. She's in trouble." Junior turned to Bra. "Can you find out where she is?"
Bra closed her eyes. She stretched her senses around the planet, ignoring other energies and searching for one in particular. It wasn't there. Bra opened her eyes and slowly turned to Junior.

Junior looked down. He knew that it was too late, he just wanted to make sure.
"Where is she? June, do you know?"
Junior ignored the fact that Bra used his nickname. He was too busy thinking about his sister. His dreams were coming true. He nodded and pointed a finger up. "She's in the stars."

Mejihen and Bra were silent for a second. Junior didn't stop there.
"Everyone has different thoughts. Nobody can help us because something is going to happen here and they need to be here. Only us are okay. We can help her."

Bra shook her head. "What?"
Junior growled. It was so hard sometimes. "We have to get Pan because we are okay. Nobody else is. I can tell you some more later, not now. I don't even know, now." Junior sighed. "We have to go to the stars!"
Bra didn't say anything for a minute. She decided that she didn't want to talk here, they could get caught. She grabbed Mejihen's and Junior's hand. "Come on. We're going." Bra started powering up. Mejihen realized what she was going to do and grabbed her arm before his own arm came off.
'These people,' he thought. 'They really don't know their strength.'
Bra savored the breeze across her face. Junior shifted to ride on her back. With her arm free, she shifted Mejihen under her so she could hold him better.

Luckily, she was too busy concentrating on flying so she didn't see him blush.

Mejihen controlled himself and tried to look ahead. The scenery shifted too fast for his eyes. There wasn't much else to concentrate on except for the fact the Bra was holding on to him rather tightly. And the fact that he really hadn't ever been this close to the opposite sex except for his best friend and how close Pan was to him when she tried to kill him.
Mejihen was relieved when they started slowing down. Up ahead was a large, white dome. Something was written on the side, but Mejihen couldn't understand it. It wasn't like he had time because a couple of seconds later they were on the ground.

Bra released Mejihen and Junior jumped off of her back. Mejihen shook off his dizziness. For some reason, he felt that he couldn't look her straight in the face for a while. It didn't matter because she had disappeared in a rush to get inside. "Stay here!" she instructed. Junior stayed with Mejihen. He looked down at him. "June?"
Junior growled. 'How did he find out?' he thought. "Shut up."

Mejihen grinned. "It's cute."
"It's a girl's name."
"It's faster to say."
"So? That's not my name."
"Junior isn't either."
"I'm used to it."
"Really..."
"Sorry for making you wait!" Bra called out.
Mejihen and Junior looked over to see Bra carrying a small case and a backpack. "Always be prepared," Bra said with a triumphant smile.

Mejihen watched her smile. Something about it mesmerized him. Junior broke his trance. "So we're going?"
"Yep! We have the latest model out. It's fast, it's got plenty of room and it's perfect for three."
"Great! Where is it?"
"With me of course. You'd think a thing like this couldn't be capsulized? My mom thought of everything."
"Ummm.... What?" Mejihen said.
"We have to go. Maybe we could catch up," Junior said. He reached out for Mejihen. "Come on. We can't go here."
"He's right. I know where we can leave from. Let's go."
Bra grabbed Mejihen as she did before and Junior jumped on her back. Bra winced at Junior's weight, then started taking off. She was going to an abandoned farm area, where she sometimes trained. Most of her was wondering why she was doing this in the first place. This was completely wrong, she thought, this isn't something that she would do.

But as suddenly those thoughts came, they left. For some reason, Bra felt that this was the right thing to do. She had to go. She didn't question why she suddenly changed her way of thinking, she just had to do what she had to do.

They arrived at the farm area. Bra let go of her passengers. She didn't notice Mejihen shying away from her. Instead, she opened the case. Inside was a single capsule. The capsule was larger than ordinary capsules, but that was because it had to hold more. She took the it in her hand and dropped the case. Junior lead Mejihen back and told him to close his eyes. Bra pressed the button and flung the capsule a hundred feet in front of her.

A loud explosion filled the area. When the dust cleared, Mejihen finally looked up. In front of him, a large ship materialized. It seemed to be white on the outside, but in closer inspection, he realized that the panels weren't normal.
"So we blend in the background of space." Bra said.
Mejihen looked at her. He hadn't said anything. He noticed that towards the top of the ship was red lettering that he vaguely remembered from the building. He decided that he would ask what it meant later.
"Come on," Junior announced.
Junior walked to a door that Mejihen didn't notice before. He also noticed that Bra wasn't around. She was probably the one who opened the door, he decided. He was just too immersed in his thoughts to notice it.
When he was inside, the door closed behind him. He watched as it seemed to melt into the wall. It looked as though there wasn't even a door anymore.

"Come on!" Junior grabbed Mejihen's hand. 'Oh no, not again,' Mejihen thought. He was probably going to get a permanent shoulder injury. Junior pulled Mejihen too fast for him to examine the ship to a room which he decided was the cockpit. There were three seats, one of which Bra already occupied.
"The walls of this ship conceal our ki, so no one knows where we are... I suggest that you fasten up. We'll be lifting off in a minute," Bra said. She sounded preoccupied with something.

Mejihen didn't spare a second. He sat down in his seat and Junior did the same. He looked at the seat-belt and wondered how to fasten it. Junior pointed to a button on the seat. Mejihen understood and pressed the button.
A metallic looking object suddenly went over his shoulders and chest. The substance looked like liquid metal at first, but it wasn't. It was soft so that he wouldn't get hurt. Mejihen didn't have time to marvel at it because he felt the engines start. It was a quiet hum, but it did startle him. Mejihen braced himself for the lift-off. He waited.... And felt nothing. The hum didn't die away but instead got quieter. He looked up and saw Bra and Junior getting out of their seats.
"Huh?" he asked. "Don't we have to take off?"

Bra looked at him quizzically. "We did take off. This ship was designed to take away that annoying bumpy take off from older models," she said before turning away and working on more important things on the computers.
Mejihen looked at Junior. He was busy watching the outside from one of the screens. "It's the stars. We're in the stars..." Junior whispered in awe.
Mejihen nodded and watched the stars with Junior. He started to wonder what new things we're going to happen to them now. How much their lives were going to change.

*Author's note: Alright. This is the end of part one. Look for my continuing saga called 'Hope'. It will still be under the Attachments name but it is separate. That's when things are really supposed to be happening. ^_^.*
