Then he heard something stumble and fall. After that, he didn’t hear anything anymore. Mejihen cautiously walked to where he heard the sound. He lit the area with his ki, and in the distance, he saw a small, dark figure in a pile, near the bottom of a steep hill. He walked closer to it and saw that it was a child. He looked over the child and saw that, other than the fact he was unconscious and some scratches, he wasn’t hurt too seriously. Mejihen picked up the child carefully and brought him to his small camp. Mejihen knew it would be better to talk to him when he was awake. There really was nothing that he could do now. Mejihen sat down next to the kid. ‘I hope that this is a good kid. I don’t want to wake up with him at my throat or anything’ Mejihen thought as he started falling back to sleep, although this time accompanied with the breathing of another.

Mejihen opened his eyes to see the blue sky. He felt a little uncomfortable and his ribs were killing him. He suddenly realized why. He was lying on his back, with the kid lying down on top of him, drooling. One knee was against his side, where one of the broken ribs were, while the other side of him was wet with the kid’s drool. He still happened to be asleep, because he was just snoring away.

Mejihen tried to sit up without waking the kid. He managed to sit up without waking him up. Mejihen set the kid down on the ground next to him so he could stand up. He stretched his legs and arms. He also noticed that he felt much better. He also felt a little hungry, but he didn’t want to leave the kid alone if he should wake up. He sighed as he sat back down. He didn’t know what to do. He wasn’t even sure how to react to a kid that was running away from nothing in the forest, that he didn’t even know. He wondered what the kid was doing in the forest in the first place. Mejihen didn’t think that there was a settlement near here because he might have heard, or even sense something.

Mejihen sat for the next few minutes with his head in his hands, legs crossed, and stomach growling with hunger. Then he decided he couldn’t wait any longer and started to lightly shake the boy awake. He mumbled a few words and turned to his side but didn’t wake up. Exasperated, Mejihen shook him a little harder. The boy muttered a silent ‘I’m up. I’m up’ and started to sit up. He opened his eyes and looked at Mejihen.

Junior gasped as he backed up against the tree. Here was one of the men in his dream. Now he wasn’t sure if this was the person he was looking for. He was looking for someone, yes, but now his dream is so clouded now, ‘was this the right person?’, he thought. He doesn’t seem like the bad guy, if he even was one.

Mejihen tried to calm down Junior. “Hey relax, I’m not going to hurt you. I found you here in the forest. Can you understand me?” Mejihen hoped that he did.

Junior stared at him for a few more seconds before nodding his head. He kept his eyes on the guy, still not trusting him.

“All right, that’s good. My name is Mejihen. Are you lost in this forest”

Junior nodded his head.

“Okay. I’m sure you want to find a way out and so do I. We’re going to have to work together to get out then. Is that okay with you?”

Junior thought about this for a second and looked back to Mejihen. “My name is Goku, but everybody calls me Junior. I’d like to find a way out of the forest too.” He pretty much thought that if he was supposed to find someone, he already did, and this person seemed like a good guy and in his mind, he wasn’t a stranger anymore.

Mejihen smiled and nodded. “Its nice to meet you, Junior. I....” Suddenly his stomach growled in hunger and Juniors stomach growled in response. Mejihen grinned sheepishly and put his hand on the back of his head. “I think we should get something to eat first, don’t you agree?”

Junior smiled and nodded. Now this guy was speaking the same language as him. Food sounded really good about now. He got up when he felt a stinging pain in his head and ankle. He fell back down with his head spinning. When his head stopped spinning, he noticed all the scratches he had on his arms and when he felt a certain spot on his head, it stung to the touch. Mejihen looked at Junior concerned. “Are you okay?” he asked.

“No, my head and ankle hurts to stand.”

Mejihen look at Juniors head and saw a large bump where it probably was bleeding the night before. Then he looked at the ankle that Junior pointed out, that hurt. The ankle looked fine, but it hurt for Junior to put any pressure on it. So Mejihen decided to carry him. After all, this kid was now the only person that he knew on this planet, it was the least he could do. Besides, his injuries were almost healed, it wouldn’t be so bad for him. So he hoisted Junior on his shoulders and they began walking.

Junior suddenly remember his bag had some food, but he didn’t have it with him. He told Mejihen this and he walked toward the direction that he found Junior. Except for the fact that there was a steep hill over there. Mejihen let out an exasperated sigh and weighed his options. He could try to find food on his own, but he couldn’t be sure that there was any from where he was. Or he could climb the hill with a kid, who was in fact, a little heavy despite his size. The thought of food being out there for him without looking too far came through and he started to climb.

The climb didn’t take too long. Junior’s talking kept his mind occupied with stories about his family. When they finally reached the top of the hill, Mejihen spotted a bright red bag, caught on a tree, in the distance. “ And Pan beat the evil Shenlong and saved the day, or at least that’s what she told me, and...” Junior said, continuing his story.

Mejihen stopped walking. This whole time, he realized, Junior was talking about his family, and battles that his family had been in. That probably meant that this kids family were probably the warriors that he was looking for. He didn’t have to find them, they found him. Or not yet at least, seeing as he was still in the forest. Junior stopped talking and lightly tapped on Mejihen’s head. “Hey, are you all right? You sort of zoned out.”

“Ummm, Junior, do you come from a family of warriors?” What better way to find out than directly asking him, Mejihen thought.

“Oh yeah. Isn’t that what I was talking about. My family and my family’s friends beat a whole bunch of bad guys before I was born. A whole bunch of things happened an stuff. Why?”

Mejihen started walking towards the bag again. “Actually, Junior, I don’t really come from Earth. I came here to get help, which is probably your family. Do you think that your family can help me?”

“Really? I think that they would. If they don’t wanna, I will!! I’m strong! Look!” Junior flexed his arms and Mejihen slightly turned his head to look at him an d chuckled. “Are you sure?” Mejihen started, “There is a really strong bad guy. You think that you can take him on?”

“Sure! I’m really strong. So is my sister Pan! She took on a bad guy called Baby, yeah I know, stupid name, all by herself! She’s really strong too! So is daddy, mommy sort of, Oh, and grandpa Satan is really strong too, and there is uncle Goten and...”

“I’ll meet them all later, right?”

“Oh sure! And there’s uncle Vegeta, who is really scary sometimes, and...”

“I’ll meet them later right? I can find out who they all are when I meet them, okay?”

“Oh, okay. Hey, that’s my bag! I got some food in there to eat. I hope its enough for both of us.”

Mejihen sat Junior next to the tree while he untangled the bad from the tree. He handed it Junior and sat down. Mejihen looked on as Junior rummaged through his back and came up with some strange looking cake. It looked yellow with a clear thing surrounding it. Junior handed it to Mejihen and took another out for himself. Mejihen looked at the small pastry curiously and turned it over in his hands to hear the clear think crackle slightly. He looked at Junior to see that he discarded the clear thing and was eating the small weird shaped cake. Inside of it was some creamy looking white stuff. “What is this?” Mejihen asked. He hoped for some real food, something like those dark blue colored berries, but this, it almost looked like poison to him.

“Its a Twinkie. What? You never seen a Twinkie before. Its really yummy. If you don’t want yours, I’ll take it, but I don’t have anything else.”

“No, I’ll try it.” Mejihen took the Twinkie out of the clear packaging, just as he had seen Junior do, and slowly took a big bite out of the pastry. A sweet sensation filled his mouth and he realized that it was delicious. He stuffed the whole thing in his mouth and swallowed, glad that the sweet taste remained in his mouth. Now he was thirsty. Unfortunately for him, Junior didn’t pack and water.

Mejihen had his first tastes of the junk food that Junior had packed. Sure, they had stuff like this where he was from, but this stuff was even better. They spent about half an hour trying to decide who it to get which candy, meanwhile, during that time. They were being searched out.

Gohan had woken up early and started looking for his son again. He felt his ki for a short time, but it disappeared as fast as it reappeared. He knew what the general direction of it was, so he headed that way. Suddenly now, he felt it, like it reappeared out of thin air. Gohan headed that way. What he also noticed though, was that he felt Bra’s and Pan’s ki going to the same direction he was going in.

Pan and Bra had finished registering for classes and wanted to go back to see the space pod. When they were there, Bra felt that Junior wasn’t too far away, so they went to see where he was. They too felt his ki just vanish and reappear. They wanted to know what was going on and why Junior was close to the crash site. They all knew that Junior was there, but they didn’t know that he was with someone.
