Dr. Briefs resumed driving through the very bizarre portal, heading to their destination. Fe seat in the back, just staring at the vast space. Her mind rewinds back earlier to her parent's house.



Flashback

Dr. Briefs understands that Fe is shocked by his short explanation. "Yes, your parents are very desperate to save your life from prison and the whorehouse. Plus, to save your brother of course. To be honest with you, we officially wanted to have another child into the family. But it's different since our daughters wanted a younger sister yet not too young. So when we met your parents and heard your situation, we simply cannot ignore you. So, we promised to pay off your student loan debts plus give them at least ten million dollars to settle the agreement of keeping you", he explained.

 Fe nods, though still confused. Mrs. Briefs talked next and looked worried, "Honey, there's a hard truth that you need to understand once you move in with us: in our world, children from newborns to age twenty-nine have to be adopted or be with their parents." 

"Huh!?", Fe said, now more confused, "That old to be adopted still!? Why!?" Dr. Briefs handed her a written paper that titled, Rules in your new home country, and he spoke, "Fe, if you aren't adopted till age thirty, that's where they'll abandon you in the street, as a homeless person. But there's more than that: if you don't support yourself at an age while being homeless, the government will have the right to send you to the whorehouse, to reproduce offspring to help increase more future soldiers for incoming wars someday. I wish you would listen to understand that we won't allow you to be alone in sorrow or see you die from what you suffered in your life. So please...promise that you'll live with us...as a family", he asked, more like a beg.

Fe finds their country's rules more ridiculous than her's. Yet, she has to believe in what's best for her. Fe sighed, "Ok, but I want to live in my own apartment or a little house next to yours. I just don't want to live while dealing with things I cannot do or what I'm unable to do", she demanded. 

Dr. Brief thought for a moment, and remembered something, "You know what Fe, our house has a separate housing complex like a normal mansion. If you promise to live with us, we'll give you that section, agreed?", he said. "I agree...to your terms...new dad", Fe said, felt awkward to consider him her new dad.

"Oh that reminds me", Dr. Briefs said, "I brought a device to use as storage to contain your belongings." Once he handed her a small device, Fe held it. She looked down, stared at it: a grey looking remote with a red button. "That's it? Well, I don't know how much it'll store my stuff, but..." as she pressed the button, a flash of light appeared and hit her from above.

In an instant, it vanished and Fe turned around in flabbergast, "What...What the!? What was that!?"she asked, alarmed. They smiled; "Bulma's friend created this device so once you touch the button, it's yours to keep. It's a storage dimension which will contain your stuff", Dr. Briefs added. Fe knows who Bulma is and well, she already knows who's capable of creating that device and portal.


Flashback ended

Meanwhile, this area is known as West City. Lines of tall buildings sat next to each other, as shopping stores, rich people shopping, restaurants, parks, and even rich neighborhoods reside there. Away from the city lies a specific neighboring area. And at the last house is none other than Capsule Corp. Near their garage area, a huge one, the portal appeared and opened; the car drove out of it and they parked. Once Fe sees the portal closed, it means she will have no access to see her family again.

They all climbed out of the car and closed the doors, locking the car. "First things first", Mrs. Briefs, "We will introduce you to your siblings, in law, and your niece and nephew!" Fe nods, feeling nervous at first because she knows that they aren't that interested in having her as a new family member. Fe grabs her backpack and carries it on her back. 

They all reach inside the mansion; Fe stares in uninterested awe as she sees very expensive decorations in their house. Servants like maids are busy cleaning the mansion. She admits their house is clean and shiny, yet that's not her style to live in one. But she has to deal with it.

Minutes later, they all arrived on the balcony. Dr. & Mrs. Briefs went outside and greeted their grandchildren. Fe gulped and slowly entered onto the balcony. Dr. Briefs turns while holding a little girl in his arms, "Hey Fe, come meet your family", he gestures to his side. 

Once Fe stood beside him, he began the introductions. "Fe, this is Tights, your oldest new sister", he introduced her to the blonde haired blue eyed woman in her forties. She smiled and instantly hugged her, "My, you must be my new baby sister! Nice to meet you!", she greeted her in a friendly tone. Fe nods, grunted a little as she felt like Tights is squashing her in a big hug.

Once Tights let her go, beside her is a blue haired and blue eyed woman who is close to being forty, with a young boy by her side and a man with black spiky hair, blue kind of armor outfit, and a serious expression on his face. "And here's your second older new sister, Bulma. And that man is her husband Vegeta. And her oldest son, Trunks. Plus, this little girl in my arms is Bulma's daughter, Bulla", Dr. Brief said. 

Bulma giggled in excitement, "Yay, finally I have a little baby sister now! Nice to meet you!", she greeted Fe and gave her a big hug. Fe kindly hugged her back in an awkward return hug. Trunks walk up to her and hug her leg since he's a very short boy. "Great to meet you, new aunty Fe", he greeted her.

"Hi guys, thank you for letting me live with you", Fe thanked them. She noticed Vegeta wasn't interested in talking and had his back at her. "Vegeta, don't be rude. Say hi to her at least", Bulma whispers at him. "Hi, whatever", Vegeta muttered. 

Bulma gave him an annoyed look and rolled her eyes. "It's fine, Bulma", Fe said, "As long as we both agreed to stay out of each other's way." "Sounds good enough", Vegeta agreed. Once everyone's done with introductions, it is now lunch time. Everyone sat at the table. Fe sat in between Tights and Bulma. Servants came in and served food on the table. Before Fe was a nice, big and juicy wagyu beef steak with a side of salad and oven baked potatoes. Fe drooled and stared in disbelief as she never thought she would be eating rich people's cuisine.

Bulma and Tights giggled. "Come now Fe, eat as much and as many foods as you can", Mrs. Briefs said. Fe picked up a fork and knife, cutting the steak into four rows; then she cut them into pieces. Fe poured some Italian salad dressing onto her steak, then she picked up a piece and bit it. She chewed her piece and swallowed it. 

Fe hums in satisfaction, resumes eating her meal in peace. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Vegeta, as always, chews and chomps down his buffet amounts of meals. "Vegeta, shows some manners. My new sister is here!"Bulma scolds her husband. "No can do, woman, she's going to deal with me", Vegeta said while chewing his food.

Fe pretended to smile, "It's fine, Bulma", and finished her last piece of steak into her mouth. As servants clear their dishes away, everyone is chatting at each other. "So Fe, what is it like in your home country?", Tights asked. Fe was reluctant to tell her the truth, especially how hard it is to describe what's happening now. 

Until in an instant, a tall man with short black spiky hair with an orange and blue uniform arrived. "Yo! What's up gang?", he greeted everyone with his goofy smile and laugh. "Hey Goku, what's up?", Bulma greeted him with a smile. Goku chuckled back in reply, until he spotted Fe.

"Hey there, stranger. Is she a friend of yours, Bulma?", he asked her. "Goku, meet Fe. My new baby sister", Bulma introduced him to Fe, "Fe, meet Goku, my first old friend." "Nice to meet you Fe", he greeted her with his hand extended to her. "Yeah, nice to meet you", Fe greeted back and shook his hand. Once they finish shaking hands, Goku turns to Vegeta, "Hey Vegeta, wanna spar together today?", he asked. "Not today, Kakarott", Vegeta refused. 

"Huh? Why not?", Goku pouted. "Will you knock it off, dumbass!", Vegeta yells at Goku. "Alright, fine. Geez!", Goku backed off and turned to Fe, "So Fe, which area did you come from?", he asked. "United States of America", she answers. "Huh? America?", Goku pondered, "Never heard of it." "Goku, USA is in another world that we mentioned before with Lord Beerus. Remember?, Bulma reminds him. "Oh yeah, that's right. A big country with very bad problems", Goku remembered. Fe nods, not only to show that he's right about her country's issues but also to know who Lord Beerus is.

"What about strong fighters? Do you know anyone with high ki?", Goku asked. Fe shook her head, "Nope. Since we're not connected to your universe or to the Dragon Balls, we cannot get any super powers or be revived", she said. "But how do you know that?", Goku asked. "I don't, I was just assuming things that I don't know", Fe remarked. "Alright, Goku. Time for us gals to be heading off", Bulma said and yanked Fe out of her chair. "Ouch", Fe said in annoyance, "Where are you taking me?" "To your new home", Bulma and Tights said in unison, "Let's go!" Once Fe and her sisters leave the balcony, back inside the mansion, only Goku and Vegeta are out.

Goku giggles, "Fe sure is a cutie", he commented. "Don't say that, Kakarott", Vegeta said, "Only a creep would say that." "But I'm not, Vegeta", Goku whined. Then Goku sighed, looking at the sky, "Do you think she'll get used to living here?", he asked Vegeta. "Truth is...I'm not sure if she will", Vegeta said, honestly, "She is too soft and emotionally weak. I mean what if she's in a dire situation and she is helpless to do something about it." "I'm not sure about that", Goku said, "She may look weak, but for sure she has a kind heart. I'm pretty certain that she'll learn to love living here."

Meanwhile, outside Capsule Corp., Bulma and Tights guide Fe behind the side of the mansion. "Where are you guys taking me?", Fe asked, curious as they took a turn around the back side of the house. "We're here", Bulma said, "Welcome to your own crib." Fe took a look in front of her, saw a door. 

Once Tights unlock the door and open it, leads all three inside the separated apartment complex. Fe stared in disbelief: everything is very luxurious and shiny. "How am I supposed to clean this place?", she asked in shock. "You don't have to, just allow the servants to come and clean everything. No need to work yourself", Bulma added. Fe nod, looking at her modern expensive home. All white walls, some mixed with matched furniture. Even the kitchen has white backsplash tiles on the lower walls, above the counters.

"You like it?", Tights asked, " We used all our love and money to create this masterpiece." Fe was taught by her parents to be grateful for what she has and the life she lives in. She often complains how unfair life was for her, especially that her family is always in debt for using their credit cards. As for her, she always loses money on art. 

Art is the only thing she does not regret. And she prefers it that way. She gave a fake smile and nodded, "Yeah, that's...very special of you guys. Thank you", she thanked them. Bulma and Tights smiled; "Might as well leave you be, come join us outside whenever you're bored", Bulma said. Fe nods, waving at them as they waved back while walking out of the room, outside her door, and shut the door.

Fe knows not all of this is her liking, so she sighed, "Looks like I got a long work on this", and began searching her sketchbook and pencils out. An hour later, she sketched out final touches and all her plans were made. Fe sighed, and decided to explore her new home. 

She saw the door open in the kitchen, realized the door leads to a small hallway that's a small laundry room, then another on the left side, leading to the big bathroom. A fancy toilet, a fancy big double sink, and two surprises: a fancy French bathtub and a glass door leading to a standing shower. Fe peaked while opening the toilet, there's a bidet in there.

Fe nods and leaves; once she's out, she looks around after the living room. There's two empty rooms, and a big spacious art studio. She was speechless how her new family bought all art supplies, art softwares, drawing monitor and tablets, and all organized in storages she adores. She will plan using that room later, right now, she must explore her master bedroom. She left the room and started walking upstairs. On top of the stairs, there's a door closed. Once she opens it, she peaks in and stares in surprise.

Very organized, arranged, and minimal spaced bedroom she ever seen. She got her big queen sized mattress, with violet comforter and pillows; she also got her own master suite bathroom with a tub and shower separate from each other, toilet with bidet, and a sink with nice space on the vanity. She saw the closet door and opened it: a big spacious walk-in closet where she can store all her clothes, jewelry, shoes, anything she can store.

 She walked out of there, saw a nice big desk across her bed, opposite the side of the room (almost next to the bedroom door). She noticed that there's an organizer type of storage drawers and a massive collection of copic markers already stored in the drawers (there's also another storage organizer next to the other side which contains her paper and other drawing utensils).

"I can't believe they did this for me, who is broke and stupid to have a rich family", she mutters to herself. She noticed that there's an outside balcony outside her room. She opened the doors and saw a little table and chairs, like her own outdoor lounge whenever she needed relaxing time. She smiled small, "I do hope living here will lead me to happiness", she said. Once she headed inside, Fe felt a slight loneliness; she decided to go join her sisters. She probably will pretend to listen even though she hates normal conversations or gossip.

She closed the front door of her home and locked it. Once she stuffed her key in her pocket, she started to walk. Walking through the front lawn, she was looking forward to the first step into her new life, no worries, no misjudgments, and no more problems.

A sudden force punched her in the face. Fe only stared, showing no reaction as she felt her body unable to react or respond. Without any thoughts and unable to move, her nerves failed her. Another punch hit right into stomach, then to her entire body, causing her to gag. Unable to scream, her eyes slowly lost sight, falling into darkness.

Nothing appeared before her: no sight, no sound, no other senses, nothing but darkness. But out of nowhere, she felt pain in her body. She finally groaned, feeling her body ache. She cannot process what's happening. She tried to move, but was unable to do it. Suddenly, someone calls out to her.

"Fe!", called out the familiar deep stern voice

Fe woke up, gasping as she sat up quickly. She felt ache in her entire body and groaned. "Oh god! It hurts so much!", she groaned. "Are you alright, Fe?", asked the same voice again. She slowly looks up and turns, appearing before her is none other than the one who is her first anime crush. 

A tall, muscular, male with pointy ears and green skin with pinkish pads. Wearing his purple gi and a turban on his head, this man is Piccolo. Fe felt her cheeks blushing, staring at his concerned face. "Here, let me lift you up", Piccolo offered his hand to her. Fe silently gasped as she stared in awe, she was thinking maybe she's dreaming. But she's not, this is real. And this is just the beginning of her new life.

To Be Continued
