"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Man," Gray hummed, staring at the Saiyan pod in front of him, "This feels strange."

The wind blew through the mountain range, the snow under their feet glistening under the bright sun overhead.

"How so?" Celia asked to his side, looking at him curiously.

"It's nothing," Gray replied, shaking his head as he let out a sigh, "I just got a bit too comfortable here."

Even though they had only been on Earth for a few weeks, it had felt much longer. This wasn't the same Earth that Gray had called his home in the past life, but it was the closest thing to it.

It's not the same, but it's familiar. I... I almost don't want to leave.

But, he knew he had to. Just a day prior, Cui had received the official order to send the Raditz's Squad back to Planet Vegeta. As much as Gray wanted to stay on the familiar planet, he couldn't.

I'll miss it. I'll miss it a lot.

His time on Earth hadn't gone how he had expected it - as it was mostly filled with near-death experiences, fighting a certain Legendary Super Saiyan, and training.

But, this training was a lot more fun than the training in the academy. At least, the second half of the training - his hellish training with Mr. Popo couldn't be called anything close to fun, and his battle with Yamoshi was a different type of fun.

His training over the past week hadn't been much different from his training in the academy - he had essentially just worked on grinding every skill he could find and think of. No, that wasn't the part that he would be missing. He was going to miss the little things.

The way he could look forward to Asuna interrupting his training every day with a meal. The way he wouldn't know if he'd wake up to Celia in his bed or not on any given day. The way Saeko would relentlessly tease him, trying her best to distract him from his training. The way Ranfan would drag him on day-long shopping trips.

He would miss it all. But, not too much.

Afterall, Tamari and Asia are waiting for me.

It had only been a few weeks since he had last seen the two girls, but it felt like a lot more. Celia, Saeko, Asuna, and Ranfan were great companions, but he still missed the two girls who had been there to greet him when he first arrived in this world.

And, it's been too long since I last gawked at Asia's bubble butt. Even clapping Celia's cheeks can't make up for it.

"I, um..." Ranfan trailed off behind him, the girl looking uncertain at her words, "I... I know I should stay here. I'm not strong enough - I don't want to be a burden to you. I don't want to get in your way, but..."

Ranfan looked down, her eyes locked onto her feet, "I... I don't want to say goodbye."

"Hah," Ranfan blinked, looking up again as Gray suddenly placed his hand on her head. He looked down at her with a comforting grin, "What are ya saying goodbye for? I'll be coming back. I'll be back in no time!"

Ranfan looked up at him, her eyes softening as she let out a giggle, "Yeah, I guess you're right."
