More Than Pebbles on the Balcony; Alin and Anju

Alin told his story, and he was sure he'd soured the mood. Though, he wasn't at all expecting any sort of sympathy from the girl. She said she lived with her dad and mother, so what would she have to say about someone without the luxury? He stared deep into the bedspread, wishing he could take back everything he said, wishing he could start over, back when he was on the balcony. Well, maybe not that far back, just back to the part where she was dressed. He didn't want to go through the embarrassment again, ever. What happened next, Alin was not expecting. She attacked him! No, that wasn't what she was doing. She'd grabbed a hold of him, but there was no malice in her grapple. No, it was a warmhearted embrace.

The young Saiyan's face got blood red as she pulled him in tight and spoke, "I...I'm so sorry Ali. I had no idea such a scar could have such a terrible story attached to it." His arms were frozen out in front of him, initially raised to defend himself. For whatever reason, he felt it necessary to return the warm embrace.

"It's okay, It's good to finally tell someone the full story." Alin smiled, the last of his tears drying up. He wasn't sure why, but sharing with this girl made him feel ten times better about the situation. Her fierce response only helped even further.

"I truly hope I don't run into these people....if I do, I'm afraid unlike your father and unlike you, I won't be so forgiving." She said with a cold bit of determination behind her words. It was like a different side of her, and at the same time she had captured exactly how he felt. He wished he could say he was over it. That he wouldn't harbor any bad feelings towards them, but he knew that if he ever saw any of them again, if any of them were even still alive, he would probably want to flaunt his power at least a little. Though, he couldn't bring himself to feel a real hatred for them. They had, unknowing and unwillingly, molded him into the person he was.

It was like a 'what not to do' type deal, where Alin saw just how poorly a person could be treated. He knew that it wasn't something he wanted any part of. He did however find himself more than willing to serve against the PTO, whom he thought to be the cause of his father's death at the time. More recently he learned though, that his father was ill-prepared for the enemies he fought, and the Army let him go, if not forced him to, anyway.

"The point now is, you survived. And that's something to be happy for now right? Please don't cry..." Anju said, breaking him out of the somewhat dream-like state he was in thinking about it. He nodded, letting go of the red-head that he might have been squeezing too hard.

"I know, and that is what is important." He let out a little bit of a laugh. "I'm a million times stronger now than anyone I even met back on Planet Vegeta. They're stupid for trying to keep all locked up in their bases and their barracks. Everyone who's strong or cares makes it out of there. Myself included." Alin grinned brushing the tip of his nose with his thumb. "I don't think it's a coincidence I ended up here. On Earth, or at your house today. There was a reason for it. I needed growth as a person, and that's all I've found here on Earth." Alin smiled.

He took another sip from his cup of tea feeling much more relaxed now than he had since he'd come to Earth. "Sorry for crashing your morning, it wasn't my intention at all." Alin said apologetically, rubbing the back of his head. "Then again, I can't feel too bad about making a new friend, can I?" He said, more of a laugh than an apology now. He wasn't sorry at all to be quite honest. He wasn't sure how more perfect the day could have been. It wasn't over yet either, there was nowhere to go but up!

"'Crashing my morning?' Don't you mean improved?" The redhead grinned, happy to see that she had made yet another friend in this strange and odd mission of hers. This timeline sure brought a lot more good things than bad, especially when compared to home. She glanced away then and tried to decide if she should even go through the story once again to someone new. She'd already met a brother who she didn't have in her own time, which prompted her to explain herself then as well. She decided, however, that anyone who decided on refering to her as a friend definitely deserved to know. "I guess though I should explain myself then, since I already made you explain everything about you. Aha...." She prepared for the worst then, as she was used to doing.

She sucked in a breath and let out a light laugh as the words she'd been saying to quite a few people close to her spilled out once again. No matter how many times she had repeated herself however, it never did seem to get easier. More believable? Maybe. But never any easier. "I'm not really from this timeline. I....I mean my parents are still my parents of course. There's no denying that with the power I've more or less grown used to. But this was before I was born. Before things had a chance to really turn for the worse." She explained, with a sheepish grin. "I won't go too into details, but basically, when I was born it really fucked things over for my timeline I guess. And my parents as well. For 16 years, I've been wishing to just....experience what I have been since I got here. And it's really nice. Thing is, my mission here isn't just....to experience all of that. It goes deeper then that."

Her eyes glanced back at the boy beside her as she finished her explanation once and for all. "I'm here to fix everything. Once and for all...! I'm not gonna stop until everything is as it should be. That means, my family is happy and so am I." She concluded finally. A long silence following before she finally broke it with a snort. "....I know. It really must sound weird to you huh? Making friends with someone hasn't even been born yet, but is already 16? How strange. But....whether you believe me or not, that's what's going on." She nodded as she turned away, lifting herself up from the bed. She was already intent on changing the subject before the chance for questions from Alin. "So..., hey have you ever played video games before?"

She turned back to him with a grin. "We could try that so long as you don't break the controller...aha....I introduced a saiyan once to video games....he was doing well!....until the controller broke." She scratched the back of her head as she detailed her best saiyan friend's mishaps with the device in question. She chuckled as she remembered just how much he also broke that had long since been replaced with the fact that they had moved. "Otherwise I mean....we could always just watch T.V or talk. It's up to you. I could always make some more tea too!" She was hell bent on being as polite as possible, because that was something her mother had been intent on drilling into her. Especially after recent events where she had been scolded for cussing far too much, just like her father.

Needless to say, Alin was glad that Anju was so chipper about them having met. It really helped ease the pressure of, 'oh god we just met and she knows my life story now'. Alin normally wasn't like that, so it was weird. Normally he'd have just given the abridged version and been done with it. He was glad he told the whole story though, and also, glad that she didn't wanna kick him out for talking too much. The nickname made him blush though, "Ali". It sounded so... bubbly how she said it. Though he was sure that a girl like her had a past too. He wasn't expecting to find out it was actually more of a future.

Anju seemed nervous about explaining herself, but she shouldn't have. After all the nitty gritty stuff he'd just spilled, Alin could handle to listen for a bit. The scarred young Saiyan sat in silence as Anju told him about herself. She told him about how she wasn't from this timeline, and how her birth royally messed stuff up for her family in her timeline. The way it sounded, the future didn't turn out too bright. Anju didn't say how bad it was, but Alin could make a pretty good assumption as to how bad it was if she came back to the past to experience an actual life. He knew better than to ask for more details, he'd take what she said at face value. She talked about a mission though, one that wasn't just to have a normal, or somewhat normal with a side of teenage Saiyan boys showing up on her balcony, life.

She came back in time to stop things from messing up for everyone. She wanted to make sure that both she, and her family, could have a normal life. She seemed pretty determined, and she certainly seemed like she could handle the job. Anju worried that it sounded weird, but it didn't really. Alin understood. Everybody has stuff they'd like to go back and change, right? Though, his wasn't really comparable to her situation. Alin laid back a bit, letting his arms support his upper body.

"Why wouldn't I believe you? You're super strong! I'd be surprised to find out you were from this timeline!" Alin joked, laughing as he threw his head back a bit. The fun was over shortly after though as he made a realization. He kept it to himself until she was done talking. She tossed out a few ideas, Video Games, whatever they were, television, which Alin had only a few short experiences with, or talking. While the other two might have been funner, he felt the need to ask her about something.

"So, does that mean you're going to leave when you do what you came here to do?" Alin asked, a frown on his face. She was one of the first friends he'd made here on Earth, he didn't like the idea of losing her, no matter how far down the line it was going to happen. It sucked, but he could understand. Once she fixed her timeline, she'd probably want to go back to it, right? At least, that's what he figured.

"If you show me what a Video Game is, I'd be willing to try." He said with a grin, sitting up straight again on the bed. He didn't know what it was, but games were normally fun. Less, they were games meant to torture others, which is the majority of games played back on Planet Vegeta, at least the one's he'd heard of that is. If these were anything like that though, he doubt it'd be being offered like it was.

Anju was relived to hear that the white haired saiyan actually believed her. But the question after caught her off guard. Even though she knew the answer, she hadn't really sat and thought about it. With every new person she met, and made friends with, it was obvious that those ties would not be likely to carry over to her time. Which....came as a saddening thought to the teen's mind. Her eyes scanned the floor then as she attempted to answer. "Well...of course. I mean if I stayed any longer then that, I run a pretty good risk of fucking shit up even worse. I can't afford that." She answered, as bluntly as possible as she busied herself rummaging through her game drawer. A smile spread wide across her face hearing that someone finally was done for some video games. She grinned and brought out the not broken second player controller and set things up one by one. First turning the TV on, then the console, then grabbing a disc from one of the many dvd covers inside of her drawer and popping it inside of the disc tray.

The TV immediately was alive with the sound of beautiful fairy tale type music. The kind anyone would want playing as they read or told their favorite story to other people. The kind some people would love to have as the sound track to their every day busy life. Anju grinned then at the memories as she settled onto the foot of her bed, controller in hand. "Guess there wouldn't be any trouble in showing you the ropes first right? Trust me when I say, I've kinda learned my lesson when it comes to teaching anyone anymore." She explained, leaving the second controller abandoned on the floor for now. Soon the start screen was present on the screen, with various options. Anju was quick to pick things without explaining them fully, but it was just typical for her. She was far too used to playing alone. "So...basically I'm just gonna load one of my files and mess around. Show you how to move and attack and then from there I'll let you handle it. Just don't murder the controller if you get frustrated please?" She teased, getting her player character into a situation where they would have to engage in combat. Turn based combat of course. More options and boxes would fill the screen, but for the most part the user interface was typical and easy to grasp.

She spent a few long minutes explaining what everything meant, and what it meant when certain conditions were met. She showed off what a victory screen looked like, and equally, what a game over screen looked like. What special attacks looked like, and what status ailments did and how they effected the party. Once she was done however, she got roped into the story for a bit. Unable to resist leading someone else through the maze that was the game she enjoyed playing when she wasn't busy scaring the pants off herself. Or, of course, training under her mentor, eating, or doing work for her father. Which, was all ultimately pretty rare except for way late into the night.

Once she was done screwing around, she restarted the game with a smile. "And that's the basics! I'll throw you into a new game and I'm sure someone as smart as you could figure out how things work right? The game is always there to help and so am I so, if you do get stuck, don't be afraid to ask." She encouraged, passing the first player controller, and there by the reigns, onto her companion with a sweet smile. "Hey you want some more tea or anything? Personally I don't mind making more. Unless, you want something more substantial then these crackers..." She glanced over at the abandoned tea tray that was still on her bed, left untouched by the duo as they both explained their life stories to one another.

The young Saiyan was saddened to hear the his new friend would indeed be leaving when she completed this mission of hers. He didn't know much about the logistics of Time Travel, but he figured that anything she did must have a huge impact on the future, so he could see why she'd want to be careful and leave immediately. Though, in concerned him why she was so carefree now about the effects it might have. He couldn't help but think why that must be and came to a pretty solid conclusion that everyone must be dead in the future except for her and a select few others. What cause it, he hadn't the slightest idea.

Shaking off the gloomy thoughts, he turned his attention back towards Anju as she started up one of these Video Games she was so in love with. Alin could tell just by the excitement that sprung to her as he agreed to play that she was dying for him to say yes. Her short 'showing you the ropes section' turned into part 13 of a series of walkthroughs that incorporated much of the basics. Alin was trying to keep up, and it seemed pretty simple. You just select options with one button, how hard could that be? Then she went on about managing the parties items, health, ailments, etc., which got Alin a bit lost. She started up a new game then and handed the controller off to the Saiyan, which he took willingly, but held it a bit awkwardly as he tried to make sense of how he was supposed to hold it for optimal control.

Figuring the most natural feeling grip on the device would be best for him, he nodded, ready to get into the game. That's when Anju asked if he'd like more tea. Alin looked back over towards the tray. He already felt like he was being a burden, but she asked so nicely. "Uh..." He paused, turning towards Anju, "I guess I'll have some if you're going to have some. Otherwise, I can go without." He said, rubbing the top of his head, a bit embarrassed. He couldn't politely decline, could he? He sure as hell didn't know how to if he could. Besides if he was drinking tea and she was not, that'd make things more awkward, wouldn't it? He remembered the servants back at the academy, how they served the instructors but never got to serve themselves. He hated the idea and refused to do anything that resembled it.

Turning his attention back to the game, he went about the portion of the game called 'The Tutorial'. He never remembered reading a story with a Tutorial, just Prologues and Epilogues apart from the chapters. It seemed to be a piece of the Video Game dedicated entirely to teaching new players how to play. Though, it was strange that Anju would teach him to play if this level was in place, he felt an odd sense of familiarity with what the game was saying already. He went through the whole bit without it mentioning status ailments, so he smirked, thinking he had an upper hand. So far, so good. He couldn't see why she was fearful he'd break the controller. He wasn't some raging lunatic that couldn't control his power. He had total control over his power, able to give things the gentle touch they often needed. He figured the brutes she let play in the past just had anger issues.

The redhead grinned as she nodded. "Alright, I'll grab us both some more tea and maybe throw a pizza in. How's that sound?" She got to her feet then and grabbed the tray she had originally brought to her room and headed straight out and towards the kitchen. Once again the sounds of her rummaging through the kitchen could be heard, even through the game sound. She figured her mentor wouldn't mind her 'stealing' one of his frozen pizzas. Since chances were she could always replace it with a piping hot delievery pizza from where ever he wanted. His choice. She easily ripped apart the box it was in and poked her nail into the plastic wrap, releasing the frozen treat just as the oven beeped, signaling that it was ready to receive the frozen delight and warm it up to edible conditions.

After she set a timer, she went straight into brewing some more tea again, which of course was faster then the pizza. Which would take a while. Once she set the tea pot she was using onto the tray she went right back to the room with ten minutes remaining until the pizza was cooked. She set the tray down and watched as he played onward, grinning to herself. He sure learned faster then Tar Tar, but that was fine by her. She still respected Tarnov despite his sheltered life style. She pursed her lips then, wondering what had happened to him. {You know....I haven't heard anything from him in forever...! I really hope I didn't screw things up between us....}, it was just like the teen to blame herself for something that probably didn't concern her. She busied herself instead with pouring them each a cup, and slipping in enough sugar for them each based on their own tastes. "You're doing great Ali!" She encouraged, her hand immediately touching the boy's shoulder. "The pizza should be ready soon, then we can split that. Lot more substantial then these silly crackers." She chuckled as she passed him his cup.

The redhead sat herself down on the floor this time, since she'd be required to spring back to her feet soon anyway. She continued to watch and sip her tea idly, inserting a few passing remarks regarding the game as she waited for the timer to go off. "So you said you're a saiyan right?" She asked, glancing back up at Alin with curiousity. "Any reason why you've...come to earth by chance? I doubt it was very fun on your planet from the sounds of it, but I mean...like, what are you hoping to accomplish here? Get super strong and go back? Or are you gonna live your life out here?" She asked, and before she could get an answer, the dreaded timer went off, buzzing madly. "Welp, there's that pizza. I'll be back." She grinned, setting her teacup onto the tray and jogging off to grab the pizza pie from the oven before it had a chance to burn, yelling at the buzzer that she was on her way, and it didn't have to keep buzzing like that.

Alin was excited to get to playing the real game, having completed the tutorial so quickly because Anju had told him so much already. He smiled as Anju said she'd bring more tea. He felt a little less like he was imposing on her and her family because she was so cheerful about it. When she brought up the pizza he patted his stomach and said, "I guess I could eat a slice." He laughed. He had been here awhile now. It wasn't like he could just wander away without saying anything just because he didn't like the idea of taking food from people. It's not like he was an invited guest, so he felt like she was sort of forced to either kick him out or share.

He could hear the girl brewing up Tea in the kitchen and realized pretty shortly that he was just playing the game passively, executing the commands without really thinking about it, just following what Anju had told him at the start, beating enemies one after another and moving on. Before he knew it, Anju was back in the room, saying he was doing great, pressing on his shoulder with her hand as she continued saying the pizza would be done soon.

She took a seat next to him and sat sipping tea idley, while Alin was a bit too focused on the game to notice until she spoke. "So you said you're a saiyan right?" Alin just nodded, continuing to play on. "Any reason why you've...come to earth by chance? I doubt it was very fun on your planet from the sounds of it, but I mean...like, what are you hoping to accomplish here? Get super strong and go back? Or are you gonna live your life out here?"

Alin looked at her, pretty sure he knew exactly what he was gonna say, but she ran off because the oven started to beep. Of course he was going to stay here, after everything that happened of Planet Vegeta, he'd be crazy to go back. Especially after what he'd learned. Still, part of him wanted to talk to Commander Bly and see what, if anything, he had to say about his father's death, if it could have been planned by the army themselves. Though, it was about a fifty fifty chance he was gonna like what he heard. It didn't really matter much now, he was on Earth. He could put all that stuff behind him.

Alin waited for the girl to get back with the pizza before he explained, having paused the game. "It's pretty weird, but yeah, I don't think I'd ever want to go back there. I know it was my home and everything, but it'd not a place I want to be anymore. It was all fine and dandy when I was just an ignorant little soldier standing in line, but now that I know things about the universe, and how powerful people can become when they fight for what they love, not just because some jerk behind a desk in an office is telling them to. It's amazing the difference. It's like night and day!" Alin laughed, smiling as bright as he had in his life.

"Though, I suppose there will always be something to come up and spoil the fun, no matter how strong I get, I just can hope that I'm strong enough to handle whatever that may be. It's hard to believe that you're not going to be around forever though, you seem like a really nice person." Alin shrugged, blushing because he didn't really know what he was getting at. "I mean, I know we just met, so it's way too early for goodbyes, but knowing your leaving is just... hard." Alin said, a deep sigh coming from him as he looked at the floor. He was flustered. He didn't understand anything that was going on, not about this girl's situation, time travel, why she had to leave when they just met. It seemed so unfair. But, that seemed to be how life worked. There's always gonna be another obstacle in the way, it's the reason people keep on moving. It's what makes people grow and adapt. It was just, for once in his life since his dad passed, he wanted to be around somebody, and didn't want there to be a time any day soon where it'd be impossible for that to happen.

Bora was kind of the same way, but in more of a 'he can help me get stronger' sense. Anju was more of a 'she's nice and makes me feel good' kind of way. He wasn't really sure what that meant, but it made his chest hurt thinking about it. "When you leave, will you ever be able to come back? Or will you be gone forever?"

The teen already had a slice in her mouth, piping hot still as she set the plate down quickly before sinking back down to the floor to sit in her spot, as she took out the piece, wincing. "Go ahead and grab a slice and dig in. I don't really eat too much." She laughed then, as she glanced up at him as he answered the question she had previously asked before needing to tend to the oven. She munched as she listened to his answer. For a boy his age, it was certainly night and day compared to what teens their age would be doing provided they had a normal life. For him, the life of a child soldier, raised at a young age to fight, and from the sounds of it, for all the wrong reasons. For her, the life of a tragic princess. But not one that dared to stand back from a fight. She gave a smile to his own. "It's good to hear you've gotten out of that life. You got your freedom." She commented. "That's certainly worth a lot." She nodded, grabbing a hold of her tea cup and taking a sip from it before resuming the consumption of her slice of pizza.

But when he had brought up the fact that they had just left and she had essentially just dumped her life story into his lap, and even mentioned that she would not be likely to stay put here in this time for very long caught her off guard. This wasn't exactly something she chose to think about. A resounding pain began to swell in her chest and she had to lower the piece she had been eating down as she breathed in, trying to catch her breath again. He had a point. But not just for him either. There were plenty of other people, who she hadn't factored in that she would miss once she left. She already knew of one person she'd miss. But her parents, her mentor, and now Alin. She hadn't even factored how badly she would miss her parents, despite the fact that if everything went her way, she'd see them anyway. And she didn't know the status of her mentor, but she assumed chances were, he was still very much alive.

She swallowed hard then when she caught his question. Another thing she hadn't thought of, would she even be able to visit? Was that even allowed? Even if it wasn't, it wasn't like her to just obey rules that she had long since broken, provided there were even rules that came with time travel to begin with. But not wanting to provide more heart ache, she answered the only way she could. "Well....I think the real question is....am I really even saying goodbye?" She countered, as she turned to look up at the pale haired boy. "Like I said, I technically haven't even been born yet. And as far as I know, I have to be born. So really...you could consider this an early hello." She explained, with a soft smile. "But I mean...even if I'm not allowed to come back, I probably still will. I mean...with the way my dad talks you'd think he'd been told I was here for good. It's gonna suck when it finally hits him...but I also work for him. So, chances are....he's gonna complain, and somehow I'm gonna end up coming back. Because he can 'Make it worth my while' as he would put it." She grinned, shaking her head at her present day father's antics. "So I guess really...the answer is yes and no? There's no telling how this....timeline's version of me is gonna turn out. But in the end, it's the one you guys are gonna get, like it or not you know? But I'm sure she won't be that much different right?"

Alin reluctantly took a slice of pizza and bit it. It was pretty hot, so he didn't really taste much, but it was pretty good what he could taste. He held the slice at chest level while he chewed and listened to Anju's reply about how it was good he got out of the Saiyan Army and planned on staying here. Then again, that was just for the foreseeable future. From what she said, there was a lot of stuff going on with her involving the future. It was pretty clear that her timeline is all sorts of messed up, but that didn't make it easier on him. He wondered if he was in the alternate timeline too, or if it was a timeline he'd never been born in. Though, if she was born in bot, he supposed he would have been too, right? Or... never mind, all the thinking about it got his head pounding.

How she tried to let him down easy didn't really make it any better. He didn't consider it an early hello, because she was an alternate timeline version of herself that wasn't even born here. If it was an alternate timeline, they were going to be two unique people. Who was to say she'd be anything like the real, or rather Future Anju. Alin didn't like the idea. Besides, the present Anju wouldn't remember meeting him, and he wasn't about to go explaining his life story again, especially not to a baby. He sat the piece of pizza back down on the plate as he chewed slowly. He look Anju over a good bit before he said anything else. He wasn't sure how serious she was.

"If you're from an alternate timeline, then you're going to be different from the one born here. I mean, or why else would there be an alternate timeline. The life you lived made you the person you are, one way or another. And you came back here to make sure she had a different life, so aren't you really just guaranteeing that your present self will be different than you?" Alin said, confused as to what the heck was going on. He didn't like the way he was talking. Anju was super nice, and if that's because everyone around her was so mean and bad, then if she came back and changed that, would that make her the mean and bad one? Maybe it wasn't so black and white, but it made more sense than any other idea floating around in his head.

Mainly because his other thoughts were things like an Alternate timeline where people had wings and that's how they flew, instead of using Ki. His face twisted at the idea. He leaned over to Anju, looking deeply at the floor. "What I mean is, it's not fair that the other timeline get's a cool version of you. And we haven't even got baby you yet? That bites." Alin said, a bit teary eyed. He reached over and put his arms around her, just as she did earlier when he told his story. Tears streamed from his eyes even as he tried to fight them back, "Can't you just stay here permanently? It's not fair!" He said, but he immediately knew it wasn't fair to the people in the other timeline either, because they'd be missing out on Anju, so he felt kinda bad for being so selfish. But at the same time, he didn't. If they made life suck, then they deserved to lose Anju!

"If you're from an alternate timeline, then you're going to be different from the one born here. I mean, or why else would there be an alternate timeline. The life you lived made you the person you are, one way or another. And you came back here to make sure she had a different life, so aren't you really just guaranteeing that your present self will be different than you?"

Anju tilted her head as she let Alin's words sink in. It seemed as much as she tried to ease his mind when it came to her leaving, she was only making it worse. She scratched the back of her head and thought about it. "Y-Yeah....I guess she is pretty much gonna be different. But even if she's going to be raised differently, surely, the genetics we both share is what will keep us similar right? Erk....then again...." The teen stopped mid sentence as she envisioned how she would've turned out had her father raised and trained her. "On second thought....she might end up becoming quite the terror aha...." She laughed sheepishly at the thought. After all, even if she personally hadn't been raised by her father, the relation was still obvious. She was just as much of a terror, if not more so considering she was only a teenager, as her own father was.

But still, even if she showed a lot more of her father's genes, she also had her mother's. She was strong and powerful in ways she had never known. She'd never experienced the feeling of being so victorious. So amazing. When usually back at home she was shot down easily. Defeated and thrown to the ground like a ragdoll. "Even if she is a terror....she'll still be raised by mom too. And trust me. She won't let her baby girl become a monster." She smiled then, feeling better about things for the moment. Her eyes widened when she felt his arms slip around her. Already she had had a large impact on another person's life. She couldn't imagine what would've happened if she'd been enrolled in school. If she'd had the time to make a bunch of friends....what the hell would she have told them? 'Oh everything's fine, I just have to go back 16 years into my timeline cause everything's fixed and my mother insisted I still go to school! But don't worry, I'll probably be enrolled again....6 years after the highschool reunion....'

She rested her hand on his arms softly. She wasn't exactly sure what she could say at this point. It was interesting to think that even though this young saiyan boy had wandered onto her balcony searching for his mentor, and instead finding her in nothing but a towel, had turned into this. That they had bonded so fast and already knowing he would be saying goodbye had him terrified and scared to lose her. Her eyes softened then, as she sat herself up onto her knees, turning and angling her body so that she could embrace him back. "Hey Ali....it's alright you know...Even if my timeline is...well...a nightmare so to speak....it wasn't anyone's fault....well....no....I guess I can't really say that huh?" She held him closer then, as she tried not to get upset. Even if she had every right to. "It's those stupid Black Bow Bastards..." She muttered under her breath. "They're to blame for that never ending nightmare. And when I get back there I plan to eradicate them. It's just what they deserve. But even....if I do that in my timeline. It doesn't remove them from yours. So I'll be sure to come back Alin." She smiled, as she thought on how she would have to come back. Her father would likely be glad to have her help. "I'm far from done with what I have to do. Even when the time comes for me to leave, I'm not really gone. I'll be back. Because those stupid BBA jerks need to be eradicated here too." She explained, unaware that the saiyan had already had a run in with the group she was talking about.
