Lady Seru noticed the sun setting. She had to go stop for the night. She was getting tired and she wanted to plan her next battles. She landed at a ritzy hotel and smirked. "Hmmm... I could scare them off but... maybe, I can try out a new technique I just thought of." She went to an alley and focused. Freeza and Cell had the ability to transform at will. Maybe, she can do the same and make herself look halfway human. She concentrated and transformed. Her armour shifted and her tail vanished. When she was done, she was the same height, with a tank top green armour and green skirt. Her long black hair flowed behind her and her eyes changed to green on black.
"Now, for some service." She said as she went in with bags of money on her.

"Ahhh... this is nice." Lady Seru commented as she lay in a jacuzzi filled with soap bubbles. It wasn't hard getting the presidential suite with her money.
Especially after she destroyed that one statue with a single shot.
"Now, to turn on the TV to see how Lady Icer is doing." She turned on the TV.
"This is just in, a massive battle in the sky involving a giant golden ape, a golden warrior, and a new supervillianess called Lady Icer." A news director said as he showed the battle.
"Okay..." Lady Seru muttered as she frowned. "Well... looks like Lady Icer has been one busy alien." She commented as she started eating some complimentary chocolate. "Hmmm... complimentary chocolate."
After a night of sleep, watching anime, and watching TV, Lady Seru got out and transformed back into her old self. "Now, for some action." Lady Seru put two fingers on her forehead and vanished.

*Dragon Empress*
It was getting on in the afternoon. Several authors had already left, but some, like Dragon Empress had decided to stay a while and check the place out. She and Trunks were now standing on the Capsule Corp. lawn again, watching Goten leave with one of the other authors.
"Damn! I knew he would chicken out!" Trunks nodded his head. "Yeah, Goten's too much of a 'good boy'. He would be afraid of getting in trouble."
"Even so." Dragon Empress said. "His strength would have made a difference." She frowned. 'Stupid Goten, he's too much like Goku for his own good. I mean, who but one of his children would pass up such an excellent opportunity for evil-doing?' Still frowning, she looked at the remaining authors. 'Hmm, so many of us. I wonder if we'll ever get home. Heh heh, who cares? I'd much rather be here.' The evil smile crept onto her face again. 'It's way more fun.'
"Come on Trunks, we've got work to do." She said, turning to her half-Saiyan companion.
"Right." They both took to the air, Dragon empress still grinning broadly. "Watch out world, we're going on a Dragonball hunt! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Somewhere on the ground
"Uhh, I don't think that's a good sign."

Troubled Dreams and New friends
******************************************
Selene's POV
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Bright, daylight filled my pupils as I opened my eyes from a very long rest, and I had such a headache. My head was pounding like a jackhammer and I had some weird nightmares. I remember little snippets here and there. I had a gut feeling it was more than a nightmare too.
"Something really bad is happening, I know it," I murmured softly, "But I will find out!" I exclaimed with determination. My memories included something about some 3 tailed, 3 eyed Saiya-jin not to mention that Lady Freeza-look-alike captured a pretty
Saiya-jin Girl. In my family back home, we have been known to sometimes have dreams that come true.
(AN: this is true)
I hopped up from the couch I had fallen asleep on and ran to find J'dee, I had a feeling we were going to need her. I heard voices coming from the kitchen and I padded softly to the kitchen area.
I heard a soft feminine voice and a really deep growling voice male voice. I knew this to be Vegeta and I hesitated. This has to be done. 'I hope he forgot about me..' I thought nervously and gulped.
*************************************************
They we obviously to involved in their conversation to notice me and I watched this comically play out. I had to smother a giggle.
I watched who I guessed to be J'dee flap her arms like a bird and yell really loudly, "I'M SORRY MR. ALMIGHTY PRINCE IF I JUST WANTED TO LIGHTEN THE MOMENT!!" Her face turned a lovely shade of red and then she appeared to have calmed herself down.
I watched the rest of the events play out basically just Veggie being Veggie because J'dee wanted to get Goku-san. I gathered they already knew something fishy was up in the air.
I had to keep from laughing again when Veggie smacked J'dee upside the head several times. Man this was so funny.
J'dee looked to be in intense concentration but I couldn't understand what she was doing. I shrugged and flipped my silvery braid over my shoulder. Oh well.
For the first time I noticed a boy, no more of a man standing there and was he cute. I looked closer at his face and nearly winced; he was very pissed and looked like he was out for blood.
"AHEM!" I cleared my throat for the time being and got all their attentions.
Vegeta glared and scowled at me, Angry Saiya-jin dude frowned at me, and J'dee appeared startled.
I turned away from Veggie and the angry dude concentrating all my energy on J'dee for now. "You are J'dee, ne?" I asked rhetorically. She nodded while patting something on her shoulder.
"Who are you by the way?" she asked softly, petting I looked closer and it appeared to be a kitten.
I tugged on my CC jacket and extended a palm towards her. "I'm Selene by the way, I said and smiled. We shook hands and she smiled back at me brushing some hair from her face.
Vegeta scowled deeper at this and hmphed. His eyes narrowed at me and he snarled viciously," You are the onna no ko who spilled her guts on me!"
I stepped back a bit. "Saiya-jin no Ouji, Vegeta it was an accident besides you scared the daylights out of me!" I smiled a bit sheepishly and sweatdropped.
He frowned a little and then nodded. "Don't let it happen again, chibi onna, the woman had a fit." He smirked at his recollections. I guess he had a 'good argument' with Bulma. Hn.
I looked away and frowned and looked at everyone. "From your discussions I overheard you sensed trouble like I did? I asked. Everyone nodded 'cept Veggie who Hmphed. I took that as a yes.
"Listen I want to help, because of the nightmare I had and I have a feeling we will have our work cut out for us." The boy who looked angry looked at me and gave a lil nod to be ok I suppose.
"Wait what nightmare?" J'dee asked and frowned. I explained to her and everyone else what I had seen. I heard the cute Saiya-jin boy who J'dee told me was, Tobias grind his teeth. His fists clenched and unclenched.
He reacted to the parts of the Freeza Lady now known to be Lady Icer, from what I had seen. He look pissed and all I knew is I did not want to be this Lady Icer one bit.

*J'dee*
I looked at Selene. "So I'm not the only one who has the supernatural powers." I murmured to myself. I saw Selene look at me. I smiled at her friendly. "It would be nice to have some help. Buuuut-" I paused. "I'm only going cause I can hopefully control Lady Icer. I am going to need your help later with someone later."
Selene smiled at me and she nodded. I really hoped I didn't offend her she after all was trying to help. I looked at her. "How are you at time travel?" I asked her and grinned.
Selene looked confused for a moment and I explained about Vegia being sucked in to the past and she looked at me, if this weren't an anime I'd swear everyone would of looked at me like I was some kind of nutbar.

"I said shush! I want to actually get a souvenir before getting caught out!" I hissed at Quorky, as we crept down the now empty corridor. I had a laundry basket over my head and a towel hid Quorky.
"You're so dense." Quorky huffed, lifting the towel up so he could see.
"Well excuse me, how would I know they would all come rushing down here at 10:00am!" I muttered.
"You mean all these Saiyan authors?" Quorky asked.
"Yeah."
"All these Saiyan authors who were extremely hungry?"
"Uh...yeah?" I asked, not understanding what my muse was getting at.
"All these Saiyan authors who were hungry rushing down the corridor you were trying to sneak up at BREAKFAST TIME??" Quorky screeched.
"Hey man, I want to actually get to his room!" I scolded Quorky, creeping up to a room. "This is it!" I said, getting excited.
"Go in then!" Quorky urged, looking bored.
"I dunno...." I trailed off.
"Pssh, yeah right." Quorky scoffed, looking at me strangely.
"You're right, I am going in." I said, adjusting the bag on my shoulder containing a Blink 182 CD and Discman.
"Well, you have to actually open the door before entering." Quorky said in his smart-ass way.
"Yeah, yeah." I muttered, removing the laundry basket from my head and cautiously opening the door. "Cool! Unlocked!"
"I 'spose even the Saiyan Prince wasn't prepared for 'Attack Of The Rabid Fan-Girls'" Quorky sighed, following me into the room.
"Ooooooooooo! Veggie-freshness!" I squealed, jumping onto the large king-size bed and taking a deep breath into the duvet.
"Thats just...ugh." Quorky wrinkled his monkey nose.
"Ooooo! A wardrobe. Where they hold clothes. In Skittles' bedroom. So it'll hold Skittles' clothes and..." I gasped at the thought running through my mind. "Where the hell is his underwear drawer?" I demanded, commencing to tear the place apart.

*Saiyan Princess TRF*
As we were lead to Frieza and suddenly heard a message in my head...a reply from J'dee. I smiled excitedly, she'd heard me!
"What are you smiling about?" asked Juunana.
"They got my message! We'll just need to wait until they get the Time Machine in working order!" I exclaimed drawing strange looks from the guards.
"You didn't send a message," said one guard glaring down at me, the others were looking at me like I was insane.
I blinked immediately and suddenly realization hit me 'If they'd understood that, anyone who comes back to rescue us would have been in trouble. I should be more careful.'
We were lead into a chamber and at the heart of it, there stood...er, sat in his little floating chair thing, something that had been the source of the anger and sadness I'd felt in the episode "The End of Vegeta", the one who I'd dreamed would come after me (It was a scary dream too damnit!), the one I'd always wanted to kill, the one who'd caused pain and suffering in Vegeta's life, the one who'd killed millions of innocents without a second thought. I wanted so desperately to get revenge on him but here I was, unable to do anything, as helpless as I'd been before coming to the DBZ world...it WASN'T fair, life wasn't fair, NOTHING was fair! I knew I must have sounded to anyone who'd heard my thoughts like a little brat whining over some material thing. I didn't care.
"So, YOU'RE the so-called time travelers, I'd think you'd look a bit more... brainy, or at least brawny, but it seems you're neither. How disappointing," he said smiling.
"I could kill you if I had this... bucket of bolts off my neck," responded Juunana, I heard some irritation in those words. Apparently he wasn't as comfortable with the situation as he pretended.
"And we can't let that happen now can we?" asked Frieza cackling. It appeared Frieza wasn't as DUMB as he looked either, I was hoping he'd set us free of these ki dampening whatever they were as say something like 'Come on and get me'
Bra looked curiously at Frieza and then she smiled before saying, "Hey! I know who you are! My papa said you were gay!" Me, I couldn't hold in my laughter at her statement until I received warning glares. Juunana looked like he was about to laugh but he kept it in, so did Marron, but Pan didn't know what was going on and wondered why that statement was funny.
Frieza turned red in the face when that was said, and oddly enough, so did Dodoria. Frieza took a deep breath and then, in a syrupy-sweet voice, "Who is your father, girl?"
Bra shrugged, "He's papa."
"What's his NAME?" asked Frieza getting a little more irritated.
"Uh... I don't know, I just call him papa," she responded.
Frieza turned to the rest of us, "Do you know? If you do it would be wise to tell me if you value your life more than secrecy."
Marron, Juunana and I looked at each other, psh, like we'd tell him. I mean, how was he to say we were lying? Unfortunately, Pan didn't know why we were keeping our mouths shut, ah the innocence of youth, "Well, he tells my daddy and grampa that they
SHOULD be calling him Prince Vegeta."
Frieza looked shocked for a moment and then he looked down and Bra, "So this is the future whelp of Prince Vegeta? How interesting, tell me, exactly how did you get here?"
"..." We didn't know what to do. No way we were actually telling him/her anything, but at the same time we feared for our lives. The only thing I could do was pray that help would I arrive soon and we would be liberated.
