INTRODUCTION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Simple Plan CD was missing. I had sifted through all my drawers, shoved stuff out from under my bed, and had even looked in my garbage-filled closet; it was no where to be found! Last night, I'd promised to lend it to my best friend. I had said that I would bring it to school today, but if I showed up without it, it would look like I just didn't want to hand it over. Part of me thought I was just overreacting, and that she would understand if I couldn't find it; the other part was extremely guilty and somewhat angry.

Oh! Excuse me; here I am rambling about my stupid CD.... My name is Brittany, but I preferred to be called by my nickname, Youkai. I suppose you're here to find out about my trip to another dimension, right? It's only been about a week and news reporters and scientists have been asking me all these questions that I don't really know the answers to.

Well, anyway - I had spent a total of 365 days (or one year) in the Dragonball dimension. Two years, technically, if you count the one day I spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

By now, you're probably giving me this "yeah right, sure ya did" look, but believe it or not, I really did this. I've got photos to prove it, signatures, a diary, and - well, pretty much anything you want. I can tell you Mirai Trunks' favorite food, or what happened during the days when Gohan actually was in school, rather than flying off playing superhero.

I'm not the only one who was there, either. There were fourteen other people and each of them played an extremely important part in the story. Read my journal, if you don't believe me....

~~~~~~About One Year Ago~~~~~~

``````

She was an ordinary girl or so she thought. There wasn't really anything special about her; she had dark brown, extremely short hair, and gray-blue eyes. The fifteen-year-old was into anime, like most of her friends. Her favorite outfit consisted of an orange t-shirt that said "Birmingham, Alabama" on it in blue writing, and a pair of khaki cargo Capri's. She got good grades; not the best, but good enough to make her parents happy.

However, there was one quirk about Youkai that no one had ever really noticed.

When she had been a toddler, she had a very bad temper. Whenever she got mad, something around her would just disappear. It was like someone had moved it and they never remembered what they did with it. Youkai never really noticed this herself, and for awhile, it stopped. This strange happening started up again when a rather large argument occurred between her and her best friend.

Youkai was accused of being too uptight, that she did not know how to have fun. Her best friend had basically said that she never had any fun around her. The teen had retaliated with some very hurtful, but mostly untrue, words. Later on that night Youkai cried herself to sleep, having felt horrible for what had happened....

The next thing Youkai knew, she was lying in the middle of a living room floor next to a fire place curled up in a thick, woolen blanket. Her clothes felt damp, and there was a soft, throbbing pain at the base of her spine that sent tingles up her back. She managed to unwrap herself from the warm blanket.

"Oh my God...." she breathed. Wrapped tightly around her waist was a long, furry brown tail that resembled that of a monkey. Her bangs, which were hanging down in front of her eyes, were now black instead of brown. Silent with shock, Youkai mentally bet all of her money on the fact that she had somehow been turned into a Saiyan. A Saiyan was a humanoid creature from her favorite Anime, Dragonball Z.

"Glad to see you're awake," a woman's voice said from behind her. The teenager whirled around to see a middle-aged raven-haired woman standing in the doorway, drying a frying pan with a partly-damp dish towel. She recognized the woman immediately as Son Chichi, the famous Son Goku's human wife.

"Yeah," Youkai smiled sheepishly. "Um.... Mind telling me how I got here?"

"My husband, Goku, found you in the river. He brought you home after he finished his small fishing trip. He tells me that you've been unconscious for nearly a day," Chichi explained. The woman seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that the teenage girl in front of her was a Saiyan. Youkai was rather unsure of what to do; it would seem really awkward if she just played along like she didn't already know who Goku was. She decided that telling the truth would be the best bet, even if it did somehow screw up the show.

"Chichi, my name is Bri - Youkai. I'm a Saiyan.... I think," she thought about her next words for a second. "See, the last thing I remember is falling asleep in my bed at home. I was in another.... Well, how should I say this... I was in another dimension, I guess you could say. I wasn't a Saiyan there; I was just a regular human girl."

The older woman did not seem to comprehend this information at first. She had stopped drying her frying pan and was now clutching at the dish towel as if it depended on her life. Her face had gone alarmingly pale, but some of the color began to return to her cheeks as she talked. "So.... Did you come here for my Goku?"

"No," Youkai shook her head. "I have no idea why I'm here. See, in my dimension, I've seen you, your husband, Vegeta, Bulma, everyone on television. You guys are famous. I can tell you things about your past that you haven't told your closest friends."

"I think I need to sit down now." Chichi quietly left to the kitchen, where Youkai assumed she took a seat at the dining table.
