Author's Note: Please bear with me here. This piece came about while I loading the dishwasher. The idea of inter-universe travel is a popular one in the fanfiction world, but I started thinking about what it would be like if the guys of DBZ actually showed up in this world. How closely would they resemble their manga/anime counterparts in both appearance and personality? The following is the result of that little thought process combined with my own extremely over active imagination. (Be kind, I wrote it rather quickly)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There was no way to explain how it had happened, since I don't even know the answer myself. It began a short time ago...I was sitting at my computer writing, much like I'm doing now, when there came a knock at the door.

Normally I would have thought twice about answering it so late at night. But I was feeling restless, and this discontent sparked my abundant natural curiosity.

At first I couldn't place why they looked so familiar...this little group waiting expectantly on my front porch. They claimed to have no idea where they were, or how they had gotten here for that matter. But when the man who had knocked shouted at "Kakarrot" to " just shut-up and let me handle this" I knew immediately.

So, as cliche as it may seem...I fainted dead away at the realization. I don't know how long I was out, but when I awoke, I was laying on the couch with Saiya-jin scattered all over my living room.

There was a moment when I thought that I'd black out again, but Vegeta growled, " Girl, don't you dare pass out again, or I'll blast you! "

I knew he wasn't joking, so I sat up and began trying to answer their questions. As this went on, I inconspicuously studied them.

Goku and Goten bared an extreme resemblence to one another with their black hair and dark brown eyes. Even their features were remarkably similar. But Goten's eyes were shaped a bit differently and his face was rounder than his father's. Goten's hair was also longer than Goku's....it fell just past his shoulders while Goku's set slightly above his. Aside from that, their hair is rather difficult to explain...it was mostly one length, but long strands fell down in front and it was kind of layered on the top.

Gohan had deep brown spiked hair, well, kind of spiked...it was just on the verge of being too long for the style. His eyes were identical to Goku's, but aside from that, he must have inherited his mother's features. If I had to guess, I'd say he was about six foot three...just slightly taller than Goku.

That brings me to Vegeta. His hair was longer than I would have imagined and hung in a V-ish style straight down his back. The front was just like in the anime, only less pronounced. His eyes were jet black and narrow with bushy dark brows crowning them. The perpetual frown on his face made him an extremely intimidating person to be around.

Finally, Trunks. The difference was immediately apparent. Though the style was the same, his hair was not the soft lavender portrayed in the show but a deep, nearly black, shade of violet that enhanced his intense blue eyes. The eyes themselves were wider than Vegeta's, but they set above the exact same nose, short and slightly pointed at the end.

I should also point out that I came to find their personalities weren't exactly what I had imagined. Vegeta they had pipointed almost perfectly. He was regal, conceited and proud. Almost anything could rouse his temper, and I often feared the potential results. His was a presence that refused to be denied, and heaven help anyone who dared to try.

His son was, well, a lot like him. More than the anime would have you believe. Trunks wasn't quite as temperamental or self absorbed, but he possessed an aura of barely restrained power that demanded attention. Of course I must admit, he was quiet the majority of the time, so it's difficult to say what he was really like.

Even the Son boys weren't quite the friendly, outgoing guys I was used to seeing. Don't get me wrong, they were nice enough, but you could feel an edge to them. It seemed right though...when they fought there was such an intensity. There had to be some residual effect.

Goku was probably the most laid back one of the group. We would often talk late into the night about all manner of things, while the others seemed somewhat reluctant to really open up. Vegeta, of course, was ever resentful of the situation and likely held me responsible for their unscheduled vacation.

One night, a week or so after the arrival of my unexpected guests, I was preparing for bed. Goku and his sons were out buying food, and the almighty Prince and his son were absent as well.

I lit a single candle and some of my favorite incense hoping to meditate a bit before retiring for the evening. Much to my surprise, the door flew open unexpectedly...
