The Namekian Saiyan

Chapter 7: Make a Wish

"Veroca!" Veltro jumped from his spot and grabbed Veroca's hand "I measured everyone's power level."

"What were they?" Veroca asked

"Mostly around three thousands." Veltro handed the scouter back to Veroca. Veroca put it back on her ear.

"Cool." Veroca sighed.

"Enjoy yourself." Nail said "you're amongst friends." Nail patted her shoulder and walked away. The Nemekians were laughing and some brought weird objects out that made the coolest sounds Veroca had ever heard. Veltro jumped and moved around weirdly. Veroca just stood there.

"Come on." Veltro grabbed her hands and pulled her back and forth.

"What are you doing?" Veroca cocked her brow at Veltro.

"Dancing, don't you know how to dance?" Veltro laughed.

"No, you look like you're trying to fight but it's not very good." Veroca said Veltro laughed harder
"you're funny." He jumped into the air and spun. Veroca tried to copy his movement but she felt stupid so she just stood there. The little Nemekian children ran around her. Dende was chasing some of the others, he was so tiny. Veroca tried to imagine if this was what she had instead of her saiyan 'comrades'. Veroca couldn't imagine herself with the innocent looked of Veltro's eyes, he was so light maybe that's why I can't fly Veroca thought I'm too heavy in my head.

"Veroca, come here." Veltro swooped in and snatched her up, he nearly flew them right into a house. Veroca squeaked just barley pulling her feet out of the way of the roof.

"Veltro." She snapped.

"Sorry." He laughed and threw her into the air. "You've got to see this, it's so cool." Veltro flew over the houses, away from his home and the party. Veroca watched the smile on Veltro's face.

"I'm glad we're friends." Veltro said "I've never had a friend like you."

"Like me?" Veroca wasn't sure if that was a good thing.

"Yeah, you're different from everyone else here." Veltro lowered them toward the water, Veroca reached her feet out to skim over it. She was still bootless and armorless, she would have to remember to get those before Raditz came back. The thought of Raditz taking her from this place made Veroca's smile fade. Veltro didn't notice

"Because I'm bad." Veroca supplied.

"What?" Veltro's grip slipped and Veroca plunged into the water.

"Veltro!" Veroca yelled before her head slipped under. Veltro darted back over in time to see Veroca surface.

"Sorry..." Veltro scratched the back of his head. "But why do you think you're bad?"

"Because I ma, the people I'm with are bad and I'm bad and that's what's different." Veroca let herself sink lower into the water so that half her face was covered.

"Just because they're bad doesn't mean you have to be." Veltro said offering his hand "if you were bad you would have hurt me."

"I don't have a reason to hurt you." Veroca said ignoring his hand, he should just leave her there, and pretend he never met her.

"Well, you didn't have a reason to save me either." Veltro crossed his legs and hovered just over the water.

"When?" Veroca demanded "I don't save people, I hurt people."

"With the crab, Dronare told me when the crab hit me, instead of running away like a sane person," Veltro tapped her on the head "you stopped the crab from attacking me again."
