I huff, sliding down the wall beside Bulma, Goku on my right. Oolong sighs beside Bulma. "We could have at least gotten a last request." Bulma growls, facing Oolong with a snarl. "Well I have a last request! Oolong, will you please shut up!?" I snicker at Oolong's misfortune, knowing he can't win.

Oolong tilts his head, glancing at Bulma. "Request an eye glamour girl!" Puar sighs, floating up to the top and gazing outside. Goku stands up beside me and walks over to the wall in front of us. Punching it and seeing no damage, Goku sighs in defeat and plops down against the wall in front of me.

When Puar continues to float, Oolong stands up, and walks under Puar. "Hey Puar, what are you doing up there?" Puar sighs in contentment. "Nothing, just watching the moon." My eyes pop open. How could I lose track of the month dates? Now I have no clue what moon phase we are on!

Oolong huffs at Puar. "How can you look at the moon? Aren't you worried about tomorrow?" Puar turns, smiling down at Oolong. "Yeah, but that's why I'm staring at the moon. It's soothing. Look how full it is tonight!" My heart stops and my tail falls limply from it's curled state.

Puar turns back to the sky. "Just look at it, doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy?" Oolong groans. "I'm a pig, I am warm and fuzzy." Goku perks up from where he was sitting as I clench and unclench my fists in anger. "A full moon? Did you guys know that a terrible monster comes out when the moon is full?"

Bulma laughs beside me. "Oh come on Goku, you're making that up. There's no such thing. You should put that imagination to good use a figure out a way to get us out of here." Goku sits up, looking at Bulma with a steady eye. "I'm not making it up Bulma." I nod my head shakily. "Bulma, he's not lying."

Bulma whips her head around towards me. "Eh? Not you too (y/n)." I focus on tightening my hands to keep from looking up. Goku nods. "I'm not lying. My grandpa was trampled to death by that monster." Yamcha perks up. "What? Gohan, the supreme martial arts master? That's gotta be one big, savage monster!" Goku nods. "Yeah, it destroyed all our house and all our trees."

I glance at Goku. "I had the same problem with my uh- my family." I manage to get out. Yamcha looks at me with wide eyes. "Is that why you're on your own?" I slowly shake my head 'no'. It was my fault. That man was looking for me. "They died later." Yamcha's mouth drops open in an 'o' before we turn back towards Goku.

Oolong leans forward. "What did it look like Goku?" Goku shrugs. "I'm not really sure. I slept through the whole thing." Well, I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who couldn't remember. Oolong's ears bristle. "What? How could you sleep if a huge monster was fighting your grandpa and wrecking your house?" Goku winces slightly at the mention of Gohan's death before pressing forward. "I don't know. The last thing I remember was Grandpa warning me about the full moon and how I should never ever look at it."

The others around me gasp and stiffen up. "Of course, that didn't have anything to do with the monster. Grandpa was always saying these really strange things and it- hey what are you guys doing?" "I'm being squished." I grumble out, my back pressed against the cool surface of the walls, Bulma pressing into me.

Yamcha chuckles nervously. "Oh nothing..." Bulma tries next. "Hey Goku, can I ask you a little something?" Goku shrugs. "Sure." "That night your grandfather was killed, did you happen to look at the full moon?" Goku's tail waves behind him as he speaks. "Well, I think I did, just before I fell asleep. Why?"
