More days passed by with me training with Gohan, working with Bulma to design my house, making art, and hanging out with the others. Training with Gohan wasn't really getting anywhere, but he said that it takes a long time, even for those who are training a lot more than we are. I had a feeling he was talking about when he was being trained by Piccolo before Vegeta and Nappa landed.
One day I went out to the courtyard looking for Gohan and found him talking to Piccolo. I've drawn him without his knowledge so many times and I've really become enamored with him in person, but I haven't really spoken to him. Gohan introduced us and of course he just sorta grunted, but he kinda looked like he had something to say.
"How's been going with Bulma?" asked Gohan, referring to my house.
"It's been good, we aren't really in a rush and she's been more interested in reverse engineering my phone. She also keeps trying to go over the top, which seems very her." I replied amused.
"Do you know where you're gonna put your house?"
"No not yet, do you have any ideas?"
Gohan thought for a few seconds before seeming like he thought of something. He turned to Piccolo, "You know a lot of the geography. Do you have any ideas?"
Piccolo looked somewhat shocked that he was asked. He stayed silent for a beat before saying, "I can think of one, but you'll need to be able to fly first. So I'll show you if and when you figure that out."
He then walked away, leaving me and Gohan to sort of shrug. We started training, some of the Namekians had joined in trying to see if I could use ki. They would use some of their training techniques in the hopes that something would work with me.
After a few more weeks they were ready for the first set of wishes from Porunga. I had asked Moori if sending me back was possible, already skeptical. He just affirmed that wasn't within the power of Porunga or really any namekian dragon to send me back. But that didn't mean I was gonna miss the summoning of Porunga.
"I'm excited to see my first dragon summoning," I remarked to Bulma.
"It never really loses it's appeal. It's always so amazing," she replied, looking a little excited herself. "I didn't get to see Porunga being summoned on Namek up close."
"Though I am lowkey scared of big things so this'll be interesting."
"What?!"
I laughed, "You see how short I am? Well when I was young I legit didn't grow for a few years so people looked absolutely massive and they had a tendency to run into me. Thus I became fearful of massive things, pretty reasonable as far as my fears go."
"I suppose so. I've gotten pretty used to these big things, but I grew at a normal rate."
"It's definitely gotten better as an adult, it's usually when a super tall person just comes out of nowhere that I have a small anxiety attack. It's really not that bad anymore. I'm honestly way more excited to see my first dragon to really be scared. Dragons are so cool."
We kept chatting away until they were ready. Bulma went up to the front and I sorta stayed in the back. I heard someone walk up near me, I looked and locked eyes with Piccolo. I gave a small wave and smile then turned my attention back to the summoning right as the energy cracked to life within the balls. Porunga was absolutely massive against the darkened sky. He glowed with energy for a moment then hovered in the air before announcing
"I am Porunga, the dragon of dreams, speak your wish and I shall grant it."
"Oh he is so cool," I mumbled out loud. His size did trigger my anxiety but I was so enamored with seeing a dragon that it didn't bother me. They wished back Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu, then it was time to wait another 3 months while the dragon balls recharge. I went to introduce myself to them and they said that King Kai had told them about me. They also mentioned that King Kai tried to contact me but he wasn't able to for some reason.
