DBS: Playing With My Heart

Chapter 1

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.
