Bathed in sweat, I started up. "What a dream!" I thought to myself. I was breathing quickly and irregularly, trying desperately to remember what was happening to me in my dreams. But in vain. It was like a big black hole in my mind. My heart was still beating like crazy and I tried to force myself to take regular breaths. I slowly calmed down again. But suddenly I looked around. What I saw took my breath away again. I was in a room. In a strange room. Slowly my eyes wandered through the completely unknown room. I noticed that the room was filled with warm, pleasant light through and through. Even though I didn't even know where I was, I wasn't scared at all. I freed myself from my blanket and slowly put one foot after the other out of the bed, which was also completely strange to me. "Where the hell am I?" I said timidly."How did I get here?" was the next question I asked myself. I noticed some sort of wardrobe and walked towards it. Without even thinking for a second, I opened it. "Hmm, whoever lives here has a strange taste in fashion!" I thought. In the closet there were several similar capes and numerous tracksuits. I didn't know exactly what it was because I had never seen clothes like this before. But I was pretty sure that I would have to declare those who I would meet in such an outfit on the street to be crazy. "I wouldn't even wear something like that at carnival!" it shot through my head. I quickly closed the closet again. My next look fell on what looked like a sink. There was a mirror above it. Lost in thought, I brushed a strand from my face. "What am I doing there ?! I better find out where I am and, above all, how to get home!""With these thoughts I turned away from my reflection in the mirror and went over to the room door. I opened it to leave the strange room. I stepped carefully out." Phew, no one in sight. "The unpleasant creaking of the door seemed to me as if it would take forever minutes until it finally closed behind me. I looked around curiously. I was under a kind of open dome. I could see the clear, blue sky and not a single one Cloud was to be seen! "How beautiful ..." I sighed. But I had no time for such sentimental nonsense! I had to find out where I was and how the hell I got here. Again I looked around. Me I noticed that the ornate dome was supported by elegant columns. It was very bright out here and my eyes had a hard time getting used to it. No question, the place where I was was wonderful! "Doesn't anyone live here? " I wondered.Little by little I went further out. When I stepped out from under the dome I could even see a small garden. There were flowers in the garden that I had never seen before in my life. They were amazingly beautiful too! I turned around and saw the building in front of me in all its glory. "Wow! This is a real palace!" I said out loud, unintentionally. Driven by tremendous curiosity, I moved away from the magnificent house in order to see as much as possible of the completely strange and yet beautiful new surroundings. "Wh ... wa ... what is that ???" I could hardly believe my eyes. Only now did I notice that I was on a round platform. Suddenly my legs were as heavy as lead and I felt an oppressive feeling which was inexorably spreading through my chest. "That ... that can't be true!" I said as if in a trance. As fast as I could, I moved toward the edge of the platform.But what I saw then left me completely speechless. Everywhere I looked there was only sky to be seen. I turned my own axis a few times to be sure. "No! That just can't be! Am I crazy now?" I looked down over the edge of the platform ... Now why I couldn't see a single cloud in the sky ... They were all down there! The clouds were down there !!! I could not believe it. At the same moment I lost the ground from under my feet and it went black around me. All I still felt were two exceptionally strong arms that caught me.




When I opened my eyes I found myself in a large room. I carefully turned my head to the right and left to get a first orientation. I hadn't quite come to when the door suddenly opened. In the decision not to move, I lay paralyzed and listened to what would happen."You haven't woken up yet!" I heard a very familiar voice say. I had to swallow unmistakably loudly and small beads of sweat slowly formed on my forehead. Not because it would have been so unusually hot, but out of sheer panic. Thousands of thoughts shot through my head at the same time. "Then just wake her! She slept long enough!" "Oh no." I thought. I knew only too well who had just said this sentence in a very grumpy tone. That was clearly Piccolo. "But how can that be? I just don't believe that! That can only be a bad dream! Yes, exactly! A dream! Just a dream ..." I tried to calm myself down in vain. "All right. I'll wake you up!" said Popo, whom I now recognized not least by his voice. "It's about time!" I heard Piccolo say before he left the room with quiet steps. As soon as the door was closed I jumped up and sat upright in this truly large, heavenly bed.Popo smiled surprisingly at me and came up to me. "Ah! You finally woke up! You slept for a very long time, but now be awake again and we are happy you are here!" I was more than Baff. There was this little black man that I knew from TV standing in front of me and told me that they would be happy that I was there ... "That just sounded very different from someone else ..." I remarked unintentionally calmly . I couldn't explain it to myself but suddenly I felt indescribably at ease. I still didn't know how I got here, but at least I now had an idea of ​​where I was. From that point on, I gave very little thought to my return home. You could almost say that I was a little happy with my current situation! I didn't know exactly why, but a warm, comfortable feeling spread inside me. Popo treated me really, really nice.He cooked me some food and even organized new clothes for me to clean my old things. After I was able to fortify myself from the delicious food that Popo had prepared for me, he led me through the palace. When we got outside I saw Piccolo meditating. The great Namek was hovering cross-legged above the ground. His eyes were closed. I looked at him for seconds. Then we went on ... For some reason I turned back to him and to my horror he looked me straight in the eyes. I quickly averted my gaze and walked a few steps faster until I ran next to Popo again. "What was that?" I said softly, but after a few minutes didn't worry about it anymore. After a while Popo and I stopped in front of a door. "You go in here! Someone waiting for you!" "Someone was waiting for me? Who could it be?" I asked myself ... without saying another word he opened the door for me and I went inside.A friendly little Namek boy came towards me. "Hey there you are at last! I'm Dende! People call me God but I prefer Dende!" he smiled. "Piccolo told me he found you just before you fell unconscious to the ground! Well, he said he wanted to throw you on the ground ... but believe me, he doesn't mean it!" Dende and I had to laugh . Suddenly the door opened and Piccolo came in. "Speaking of the devil." I thought to myself and had to smile a little. The next moment he looked at me with such a penetrating look that the mysterious flash in his eyes could not be overlooked. For a little moment I forgot and lost myself in the rest of the world. "Hey Piccolo! Finished training yet?" asked Dende curiously. "It's my business when I train and when not! It's enough for today! Besides, we have unusual visitors. He looked at me again and I felt a brief tingling sensation through my whole body.I thought I saw the trace of a grin on his face, but I might as well be wrong. "Um yes, so my name is Daria!" I tried to break the second-long silence. "Daria ..." Piccolo just mumbled. I had to swallow. Something was there. Something I had never felt so intensely before. On the one hand beautiful and calming, but on the other hand depressing and uncomfortable. "Oh yes, thank you for not just throwing me on the ground, Piccolo!" "I can make up for that very quickly!" he replied quickly. Again Dende and I had to grin. But that didn't seem to please the devil at all. He just growled and turned on his heel. With force he slammed the door behind him, so that I feared that it would fall off its hinges at any moment. That was nothing at all. I knew how strong Piccolo was and that I shouldn't mess it up with him ... "Yes, yes, our Piccolo ..." said the little god suddenly "he is and remains a joker!"" I AM NOT A FUNBIRD! "You heard an angry voice from outside. Dende laughed. I, on the other hand, had enormous respect for Piccolo. Yes, almost a bit scared." It would be better if you rested a little now. Tomorrow will be a very busy day because you will meet our friends! "Explained Dende." Cool! Nobody will buy that from me at home !!! " "What?? Why not? "" Um ... Oh is not that important! I'm really looking forward to tomorrow! "I reacted quickly, because at first I didn't want to tell him that my friends and I only knew him and the Z-Fighters as anime characters ..." Then that's good! "Said Dende and laughed. "Come on, I'll take you to your room. There is also a bathroom there so that you can shower if you want! Popo will bring you something to eat afterwards! Oh yes and don't let me tell you anything about Piccolo! "He added and grinned. I also tried to smile in a friendly way, because the thought of Piccolo did not make me smile at all."What is wrong with me?" I thought. After Dende had brought me to my room, I threw myself on my bed, completely exhausted ...


I must have fell asleep because suddenly I was torn from my dreams by a knocking sound. "I'll bring you your food!" I heard Popo's voice from outside. Still a little dazed, I went to the door and opened it. Popo stood in front of me with a tray full of delicacies that smelled temptingly good. He had really made
