CherryXDende: Meeting for the first Time - P.F.S by Halowing

The sun is burning down on a wasteland as the wind blow sand and dirt around the area; a few small lizards crawling around rocks as small bugs fly around.
It’s hard to say how the temperature is in the wasteland thou its high and hot enough to cook an egg on the rock.
The sounds of scuttle steps dragged on the sandy ground, slowly as the person was panting, body ache all over as a sound of wined in pain when the person takes that step on their left leg and stumbles a bit.
The person only has one item with, a very old slightly dirty gym bag since the person is very small, has to switch shoulders if one of them started to clamp up from holding the heavy bag, stop walking and place it on the ground as the person reach to un-zip the bag, reach inside and grab a cool water bottle.
Twisting the cap open, pulling it to their lips and greedy drinking it down as the cold liquid refresh their dry throat for a couple of seconds then stops drinking it only leaving half a bottle of water left, with a satisfying sigh then put the cap back on the tip of the bottle shutting it tight to make sure it won’t spill in the bag.
Place it back inside the bag and zip it up, wiping the sweat on their brow while taking a deep breath as they lifted the bag over the shoulder then person started to walk again.

/Must…keep going…I’ll find the nearest city…my body. Don’t give…out of me….I know I’ll make it….have to find everyone…/ Thoughts of encouragement in the person head to keep going despite how tired and achy all over their body is.

The person didn’t know how long their been under the heat, it only felt like maybe three hours at  best thou its unknown to.
Throbbing pain was all over but their left leg was in the most pain, a few times the person has stop to ease the throbbing discomfort in their limb but it’ll come back afterwards.
Pushing their body’s limit to find the nearest city was the first goal of the person; no matter how much pain was there, knowing if the person stops their body will collapse in time, thou with such luck the person was able to last this long.
However even thou luck can run-out at any time even with strong will, the person stops and dropping the gym bag to rest for a bit, panting as they shallow the remaining liquid in their throat since they didn’t want a drink just yet.
The person was about to pick up their bag again and continued on wards; when the person steps forward with their left leg and put a bit a weight on it, the muscles inside the limb gave out as the person stumble, losing their grip on the black strap of the bag then fall down, the person left out a sheik of surprise; face front,  landed on their stomach while using their hands to break the fall a bit, the small rocks made little cuts on their hands, a small groan in discomfort as the person slam their first down on the rocky surface in anger.

/No! Don’t give up…not now!!/ The person thoughts as slowly started to crawl still having enough strength to keep pushing forward thou sadly didn’t make it far enough only to take two feet away from the gym bag. Their panting was slow as the throbbing pain grew in her left leg as another throbbing pain started in their head. /is…this…it?? Am I going to…die here?! After coming…this far?!/ That thought keeps repeating over inside their head, knowing full well their body needs rest from the ache even thou the person knew if its keeps going; the body will shut down from exhausted, if only there’s a shady place to hide for a bit so the hot sun won’t roast the person and maybe a little rest, lifting their head up to scan around the area though the brightness of the sun and a bit blur vision made it a bit complex and hoping there some place where the sun didn’t hit, saw a few large boulders and looked up a bit to see the sun, it is in the a bit off in the middle of the skies in the west so the person can guess it around early afternoon and quickly look back at the boulders they notice before, and sees a large shadow underneath them. /Just head…over there…and rest…at least the sun… is off your back/ the person thought.

Taking a deep breath the person push themselves up and again started to crawl on all fours, slowly turning around and reach over to get the strap from the gym bag then grab it, pull it up to their shoulders then move forwards to the large boulders, since they were wide enough to shield the person from the heat beating sun while, reaching over to where the shad is.
Small painful groans escape from their throat as when their left was push up, the throbbing pain shoots up. Biting their lips to tolerate the ache and continuing to crawl towards the boulders as the gym bag dragging with the person.
The moment the person got to the boulders and underneath the shad, again collapse on the ground while using their right arm as a pillow as the sun hid behind the large rocks, feeling a little cool as their breathing was slowly returning to normal with eyes closing

/Just a little rest, just to get back…my strength and maybe keep the…pain away for the time being/ The last thoughts of the person as their body started to relax as the throbbing started to settle.
Unknowing thou, the person felt asleep with one line of encouragement kept echoing in their head.
‘Everything will be alright…I hope’.

--

“KRILLIN!!!” 18 shouted with worried as her husband blasted flight head first while she and the rest of the Z warriors of Earth watch their allied and friend flying straight towards the deadly villain they had face again; years of long peace after the Cell games; Majin Buu.

They never face such a creature, created by a wizard name Bibidi to destroy everything in the solar system and other worlds, he put the pink monster into a pod and send to earth years ago, traveling there to release it on the planet until the Supreme Kai killed the evil wizard before he can and the world was at peace until present time; his son and clone Babidi re-awaken the creature to continued what his father did; but after the fight with the earth’s greatest hero; Goku and in his new form, Super Sayain Three while telling him to wait to fight someone even more powerful as him.
Buu agreed then killed his former master after Goku stated ‘Why are you letting him giving you orders’? Majin Buu had the freedom to destroy and turn the people of cities into candy as much as he wants.
Until the world’s champion Hercule Satan; steps in to defeat the monster thou more likely to look ‘cool’ while figuring out a way to kill the pink creature with tricks, however as time sent with the two, Buu decides not to kill anymore as well with Hercule become friends; as well adopted a dog name Bee, however a cruel human shot the poor dog, Buu was about to explode then suddenly Hercule punch the criminal in the face; showing Buu the meaning of friendship for the first time in the pink creature’s life, then the same criminal shot Hercule making Buu snap as he heal both of his two first real friends, steam was coming out of him until he met his dark self; killing the human who shot his friends.
Buu order Hercule to run away with the puppy then try to defeat his other self but he was no match and he turns the good Buu into candy, eating him.
Causing the new creature to change into a much more powerful and deadly opponent, thou with a new and stronger with lust for kill; he still never would have hurt Hercule, however he flies to the sky and reach the mystic flowing palace where the earth’s guardian lives; with the Z-warriors with their families and friends on the palace to be safe until the monster was killed. Everyone is in shock knowing Buu can sense their ki now.
Piccolo, one of the Z warrior quickly told him about the opponent Goku was talking about and headed towards the room called Hyper Bolic Time Chamber; waiting in the chamber to fight is Goten and Trunks with their fusion form; Gotenks.
With Piccolo watching both the fighters and questioning if the two boys were the right choice to fight Majin Buu due to their childish antics while trying to look ‘cool’.
The Namakian warrior knew there was a 50/50 chance of the kids would win however with a last resort he blasted the exit into the palace informing Gotenks and Buu; there’s no way out of the chamber now, trap in a dimension that is endless while explain to the pink monster, there’s no snacks in here.
Gotenks and Piccolo fought on how stupid the other one was, Buu on the other hand couldn’t bare the fact he can’t live without his snacks; with all of his power he scream long enough to rip a hole in the fabric of space and dimension back to the outside of the flowing palace, taking his chance Majin Buu jumps inside the hole and free once again; leaving Piccolo and Gotenks trap in the chamber.
Buu was now free again and worse of all; hungry. The creature look over the last remaining people of earth on the lookout thinking which one would be chocolate.
Everyone is petrified of the monster, while some asking what happen to Piccolo and Gotenks, Krillin thought about fighting Buu knowing fully well he doesn’t stand a chance but at least buy time for everyone to find a safe place.
Krillin inform his wife 18 to lead everyone, as he fly towards Buu,

"Everyone one follow me!!” The Android order as she runs with her baby girl in her arms back inside the palace, everyone followed her.
“COME ON!!!” Krillin shouted with full speed and punch the pink monster when he got close however Buu stenches away from Krillin fist before it made contact; leaving the short warrior wide opened.

Buu smirk and with his tail-hair he fired a pink laser turning Krillin into a chocolate bar, Yamcha calling his friend name out of grief; Buu using his tail hair to pick up the chocolate and eat it with glee thou not finish yet as everyone was running up the stairs to get on higher ground or somewhere they can hide.
Firing another laser to it the upper palace walls; breaking it and hitting 18 and her daughter Marron, as Bulma and Videl looked in fear.
Dende the Earth’s guardian with his attendant and friend Mr. Popo look in horror; watches both candies being eaten by the beast on one of the balconies.

“No! 18…Child….Oh Mr. Popo; this isn’t right” The young Namakian said. Both of them were trembling in fear, wondering what Buu is going to do next.
“Quickly let’s go back down” Order Mr. Popo as they sneak away down the stairs.
“Hmmm so good; but still hungry” grumble the pink creature with a sickening smirk. “EVERYONE!!! FEED ME NOW!!” Shouted Buu with his arms spread upwards.

His tail hair started glowed, flashing lights beam all over the lookout as the last remaining earthlings screams echoes; turning into chocolate bars while the whole palace crumble around.
In the mist of chaos Dende stood in fear watching as everything falls apart, suddenly he felt something grab his arm, startled he turns to see Mr. Popo looking at him.

“You must live!! No Guardian, no dragon balls!!” Stated Mr. Popo; reminding the green alien his position and job, if he’s gone then the powerful and mystical dragon balls are lost and if the dragon balls are lost, there’s no chance to bring everyone back from the dead or fixing the damage earth.

Dende looked at his friend wanting to say something, however the genie throw the young guardian off of the Lookout with lightning speed; just in time as the laser hit Mr. Popo. Falling down Dende can’t help but watch as the Lookout being destroy while appearing smaller and smaller sooner clouds covering the view of it.

/NO!!! EVERYONE!!!!/ Dende thought knowing everyone is now gone; closing his eyes to fight back the tears, thou he knows Mr. Popo is right, for the time being he should hide until Piccolo or Gotenks come back and fight the monster then after Buu’s defeat, use the dragon balls to bring back everyone; turning his body he started to fly down towards the earth.

--

Spotting a desert wasteland he gently landed on the sandy ground as his knees gave away place his hands on the sand panting as sweat poured down on his head.
Dende mentality thanking Mr. Popo for throwing him off the Lookout, he couldn’t think of it himself since he’s was frozen in fear.
He didn’t know what to do, he should have help his friends but how can he stop a powerful monster, possibly even more powerful then Freiza, not raise to be a fighter on his peaceful planet Namak, when the murderous alien came to collect the dragon balls so he can wish for immortality even by killing the whole Namakian race to get what Freiza desire.
With the help of Gohan and his friends, he was save by them and bring them to his Grand Elder Guru; anything to help the news friends and to stop the tyrant, Gohan’s father Goku came on to the planet as well and fought Freiza.
In all of the heat of the battle Dende was the one who wish on Pourga; the Namakian Dragon, to now only bring back to life everyone killed by Freiza or his men then wish everyone to earth from the almost destroyed Planet Namak, just in time before it exploded with Freiza.

/I wish you were here Gohan, I don’t know what to do/ He thought, wondering where his best friend is, since when Majin Buu first appeared little known what happen between that fight after the creature’s release but Videl; a new allied stated she’s believe Gohan isn’t really dead, Dende also believe that as well since Gohan is the most powerful being he know after his father. /If Gohan was here right now, he would tell me not to feel down!!/ Dende thought since they first met; Gohan’s positive side was enough to keep fighting on, as time when on when Dende took the role of Earth’s Guardian when Goku appeared on New Planet Namak and ask the new Elder; Mori if a Namakian would come to earth and take the role. Elder Mori looked over to him as he stated to Goku; he miss Gohan and talked non-stop about planet Earth, Goku did ask if he can. Dende agreed, said his good-bye to his family and headed back to Earth and made another set of Dragon balls and start his new job.

He slowly stood up looking upwards at the skies, reminding himself there is a way to fight Majin Buu since he didn’t scene Piccolo or Gotenks Ki disappeared so they are still alive.
Dende knows if he uses too much of his Ki; Buu will notice him and come to him so for the time being he can’t fly too much; he started too looked around the area.

“I think I been here before?” Dende ask himself remembering when everyone needed the Dragonballs for a little favor. Gohan and Krillin ask him if he wanted to come and see more of earth, agreeing he fly around with Gohan to find them, one of them was hiding in the desert.
Letting out a sigh he started to light run around the area since this is going to be a while.

--

Around seven minutes later of looking and walking around of sand, large rocks, some cliffs and cactus; Dende stop at an edge of a cliff then sat down and wipe the sweat off his head.
Pondering how hot the desert is and some of the plants are still alive, remembering Gohan had showed him a few books on earth plants growing into a different areas and some can survive is insane amount of heat.
Looking up at the skies again to where the Lookout is, wondering if Buu had finish eating everyone after turning into chocolate, he did started to wonder if the Lookout is still possibly there? Due to the laser fire to get everyone, some of the walls, ceilings and pillars were hit by it.
Dende thought he shouldn’t just stop moving as he stood up from the cliff and dust off the dirt on his white robe.
Before he was about to turn away to walk into another area, something caught his eye on the far right. It was only seven feet down from view, curious grew on the young Namakian as he only use a small amount of his Ki to slowly floated down, not enough to be notice for safety.
Once his feet touch the ground he runs over to the right side to it to get a better view, as he reach it; a medium size pale green bag; very old and dirty bag.
Dende lean down to get a closer look of the bag wondering how long it was here or maybe it was thrown away by some travelers when Majin Buu started to cause a mess, some of the people decide to move out of the city when news of Buu appeared.
A small frown appeared on his face; thinking the bag must have been thrown away some time before all the humans were killed by the pink creature.
Slowly turning his heel to leave it and continued on suddenly a slight noise of scuttle rocks made him stop.

/What was that?!/ Dende gulp the remaining liquid in his throat wondering what made that sound, could it be an animal? Possible thou he wonder if the animal is dangerous? Or if it’s not as fear shake his core, thinking its Majin Buu must have found him.
The phrase ‘what should I do!?’ echo in his head, All he can is to run or fly away if needed.

Slowly Dende turn over his shoulder then look down hoping it’s not Buu or a deadly animal. When he looks back in full view he gasps out of surprise as his face grows in shock, his mouth drop and eyes widen.
Laying there behind him about five feet away, there is a body wearing a baggy blouse shirt that was once white is now dirtied, little rip and tore with grey baggy pants with a pair of black boots, face down and lying flat on their stomach on the ground as the left arm was extended outward, short white hair with long loops at the top and hang on long strands on the side.
Dende tremble wondering what happen to this person, he remember; when a new Buu came, he found the Lookout and demanding the warrior Goku stated to come out and fight him then kill him.
Piccolo stated he needed to wait for three hours since they needed more time to prepare both boys; Goten and Trunks to use fusion and rest, but Buu kept demanding to the point where Piccolo stated, there’s a lot of people on earth left and told Buu that he can kill them all within one day if he’s going to wait for the boys however to everyone surprise, the pink beast raise his hand, summon lasers out then fell down to earth; killing EVERYONE on earth.
Everyone’s life disappear in a blink of an eye still haunts the young guardian, Mr. Popo had to confront him telling him to not to worry.
He slowly walks toward the body but not to close only to by a few two feet and lean down a bit, examine it up and down, head to toe.
He stops at the arm that is outward as the fingers twitches in reflex moving slightly.

/YOU’RE ALIVE!?!/ His eye glint as he fell on his knees with another gasp.

He never felt so happy he find someone alive after the Buu release his attack on earth; murdering the earthlings just to fight the boys, Dende thought he must have miss or the person was hiding in the right time before, whatever the answer was, Dende as glad.
Another thought came to him; what was the person doing here alone?
The green alien examine the person again; relief fill him as he saw their back slowly rise and fall, meaning their still breathing, the clothes as notice were bit dirty as both the blouse and grey pants had a few small tars; he thought the person had been in the waste land for a long time.

/Did you get lost? / Thought Dende as he looks down to the feet. Something caught his eye as he reach over to the left leg but he stop to look at the person.

“Please excuse me” He politely said incase the person can hear, even if not, Dende is being respectable. There was a very dirty white cloth hanging down on the boot, gently grab it then to pull it up to get a better look. His eyes widen in shock when he sees a few small and dry deep dark red on the cloth. “Is it…Blood?!” No doubt in his mind, it is blood.

He seen his friends fight warriors, monsters, and aliens’ even evil humans if anyone dares to attack earth, after when the battle is finish or really damage, they either carry senzu beans from Korin, one is enough to regain their strength, power and heal them or they fly to the lookout where Dende can heal them; seeing it wasn’t a big deal to him.
He move toward the pants leg up again saying ‘Pleases excuse me’ again and slowly lit up, the boot the person was wearing only reach up to ankle and it ties with shoe lace, Dende lit pants leg up to the knee and look at the leg, a gasp escape from his mouth in shock.
A wrap cloth bandage cover the ankle up to the knee, thou it was poorly wrap since there was a loose thread hanging out it could have got caught on something, there was a lot of dry blood and a large smear on the back of the lower leg. Again saying ‘Please excuse me’ as he slowly moves towards the leg, he gently lifts it up, the body tremble as the person groan in discomfort. He reminds himself to be careful.
Lifting the leg he notice the shoelace wasn’t tied tightly and it was becoming lose, using one hand he slowly pulled off the boot and place down next to him, he notice the person wasn’t wearing a sock, he remember Gohan took off his socks when he was slightly training Piccolo a bit way back then.
Looking at the bandage, whoever wraps up the cloth was not very good at it; some area of cloth started to fall apart after the boot came off.
Dende using his free hand to grab the loose strand near the knee, however when he lightly press his bottom palm on the leg, the person let out a painful yelp; startle the young guardian, moving his hand away from the it as a small whimper came out from the person.

/It must be bad then/ He thought he would be glad-fully heal the person; depends on the injury. If it’s minor like a bruise or a small cut then he’ll leave it, however it to the point if the wound is large or even impossible for a hospital can patch up. Now curious to see how badly the wound is; he looked back at the person.

“I’ll be quick to look at your wound, I promise I’ll be careful” stated the young guardian as he slowly grabs back the loose cloth strand while not letting his hand touch the leg as he slowly and gently un-wrap the bandage.
The cloth hit the sandy ground, pilling up as he kept un-wrapping it to reveal a rectangle cloth, soaked in blood.

Dende place his hand on the cloth and slowly remove it, he gasp and his eyes widen again, and the injury was a large gash that only opened up a bit, it’s up to the knee down almost to the ankle. There was some crusty dry blood and there were dark red lines around the wound.

“Good heavens!!” He cried out while looking back at the person, he wonder how, when, what and why of the wound? A million questions fill his head and he wanted answers but for now, the injury needed to be taken care of or it’ll get infection, he place the leg back down on the ground since he needed his two hands to heal. “This won’t take long” He told as he place his hands above the wound but not close enough to touch it; mostly about five inches in the air.

A golden light started to slowly grow from his hands as it started to rain on the leg, glowing all-round the wound as it slowly disappearing, a moan escape from the person; not out of pain but in a soothing feeling.
Dende hear the moan but didn’t look at the person, he was mostly focusing on it.
Slowly it started to clear up the dry blood, seal the opening of the wound shut and disappearing until completely gone.

“There we go” smile Dende, looking over the leg, brand new like it wasn’t even there, he reach over to the pant leg and pull it down to cover.

Standing up and walked over to the person’s head, Dende thought the person should be on their back since they won’t be in haling small dirt inside their mouths and noses.
Knowing he has to be gentle since he wasn’t sure if here’s more injuries on the body, going down on both knees he reach both of his arms to the person’s head, with his right hand he place it underneath the head to slowly lit up a bit then use his other arm to place it under; cradle the head.
Dende remember long ago when Gohan was growing up; he brought is baby brother Goten with him, everywhere he’s goes since his mother is busy, even to the Lookout.
He had play with Goten a bit while Gohan and Piccolo trained, has much fun to be to play with the baby earthling thou Goten was trying to grab his antenna a few times.
After a few hours, Gohan would come over to his now sleeping brother, and picked him up while cradling him, supporting the head.
Remembering how his friend did it, Dende got the head on his left arm while using his right hand on the right side on the person shoulder.
Slowly lifted the head up a bit as his right hand gently pulled the shoulder towards him, slowly turning only to stop at when the person is on their left side, their back facing the little green alien.
Slightly moving up his arm a bit so the head can also roll to, again he pulled the shoulder towards him again as he can see the front of the body.
Again slightly moving his arm again to move the head again as Dende now sees the person’s face.
To his surprise, the person reveal is a girl; her face had a bit chubby cheeks and her lips was a little pinkish, the face was cover with sand but that’s what you expected when you’re lying face down on the ground , their white hair bangs cover their fore-head but the eye-brows are in full view.

“A girl!” Dende exclaim in whispers slowly placing her lying on her back on the ground but still had her head on his arm. Scanning all over the body, knowing there’s any more injuries, thankfully there’s none.

The little green alien figure she’s been out for long, possibly a few hours since her clothes were messy, coming back to his thought of her being lost? Or was she just traveling? Who knows really the answer is. Thou he’s still glad a human miss Buu’s laser and still alive.
Another question dawn on him, how long is she’s going to be asleep? That made him frown, thinking she has to wake up sometime, if not he has to wake her. Not to mention the thought that she’ll never wake up at all, not wanting to believe that, he push that thought out of his mind for the time being.
While making a mental list on how to wake her up, suddenly he felt a powerful ki made him startle and turn his attention to the sky.
Using his Far-sight ability since when he became guardian of the earth, his sight is now powerful enough to see far places on earth, the earthlings or even in space.
Looking around then he spotted the now crumble floating palace which made his heart sank, thou it was now replace with fear as his sees Buu floating around it, but he saw two familiar people making him smile; Seeing Gotenks and Piccolo again.

“I knew there were alive!!” He laugh with glee, he wanted to fly on top of the rocks to get a better view thou he looked down on the girl, he doesn’t want to leave her alone.

Pondering he should at least not go to far as he looking over his shoulder then saw the bag, idea came Dende gently place her head down on the ground, lean over to grab the bag, he reach to open the zipper and look inside.
Inside there was a few bottles of water, few snacks bars and a pale blue cloth.
He move bottles and snack bars into one side as he use the cloth in the middle then zip up the bag.
Placing the bag near her head as he lift up her head again then move the bag underneath her head moving around a bit, again gently placing her head on the bag to use as a pillow so her head would be comfy.
Removing his hands from her head then grasping both her hands on each side then moving them on her torso, holding them in place staring at her at bit as she slowly breathes in and out, resting peacefully.

“I really don’t know how long you’re going to sleep thou I hope soon you’ll wake up, I won’t go far, I’ll be close” He said with a small gentle smile as he remove his hands from hers then stood up.
Using little Ki he fly up on top of the rocks, just to get a clear view on what was happening.

Seeing Gotenks; in his super Sayian three form attacking Buu with all of his powers, even when he trap Buu into a ball and ask Piccolo to play Volleyball with; Dende did look very confuse on why Gotenks ever thought of that idea.
With a powerful strike Gotenks slam the ball into the earth, a big deep hole. Dende cheered but it was short-lived as he still senses Buu is alive.
Both Gotenks and Buu attack each other, even taking it over to the empty city building destroyed.
Cocky as Gotenks is, he has the upper hand until his Super Sayian Three ran out then the fusion ran out as well, Dende was shock thou Piccolo scold them for ‘playing games’ then killing the creature for once and for all.
Worrying for his friends, but after being toss around by Buu, the pink monster fell asleep.
Relief did wash over him, thinking at least they had some time to plan something and maybe fuse again.
Turning his head a bit to look down at the bottom of the cliff, he blink in surprise as he flies down back on the lower ground.

--

Fluttering her eyes opened as she looked up to the bright blue sky while moaning as she slowly moving her arm up against her fore-head as a soft breeze came the releasing a sigh.
Blinking to make her eyes fully awake, she move slightly upwards into sitting position and outstanding her arms.
She then looked around her as she slowly remember preciously, looking up knowing she’s under a cliff; shielding her against the sun.

“Oh yes, I remember now….How I’ve been out?” She asks herself, placing a hand on her eyes, rubbing them, very much relief she survive the pain. When she brush her hand on her cheek she felt some dirt on her face, she sigh again as she use her other hand to rub the blouse sleeve to get some of the dirt off of it then use that sleeve to wipe the dirt away.  

A thought hit her as she realize she needed to get going; she place both her hands on the ground pushing herself to stood up, once she stand on all two, she felt the rocks underneath her feet but something didn't feel right, she was surprise at the feeling then she looked down and pulled her pant let up a bit and notice her bare foot and her shoe is gone.

/What the?! Where did it go!?/ She thought while looking around then she spotted it next to her and picked it up relieved.
Thou she question how was the shoe off her foot? She doesn’t remember taking it off, nor had the strength to bend over to reach it since she’s was in so much pain.
/Did someone help me?/ She thought again while looking around for the person or people; however another sudden thought appeared in her head and shook her to the core with fear. /Was it them?!? Did they found me after all?!/ The hard bounding of her heart with feeling discomfort as take deep breathes to calm herself down so she won’t tremble since she didn’t need this emotion at a time like this, not after waking up.
Unknowing to her, something appeared behind her and close enough to touch, lost in her own thoughts a hand extended to touch her shoulder and gently place it there, causing her to jump slightly and gasp lightly.

“Excuse me but are y--“A boy voice called out by she cut him off.
“NO!!!!!” She scream rejection as she move forward, as she felt the hand came off her shoulder, taking a few steps forward enough to give her space as she spin around to look at the person. “I’M NOT GOING…..back there” She shouted then she slowly calm down once she laid her eyes on the person with slightly wide eyes. It wasn’t who she thought it was thou.

The person’s outfit was unusual; wearing a white robe with long sleeves and it reaches down to his ankles, a puff up collar, covering his neck and a dark navy blue belt on their waist with a purplish red vest that goes to the knees.
His hand was extended a bit but it was near his chest.
Their skin is light green, pointy ears and antenna hanging almost at the top of the fore-head, knowing he’s not human at all.
She blinking at him with curious stares as he did the same back at her, she never had seen a person like that before, she slowly step closer while looking up and down on the person.
The green person blinks in confusion of why she screamed no; well it was his fault since he did scare her when her back was turned.
She thought of something then raise her hand to her side of her cheeks can slightly pull it, making whine in pain making her close her eyes, he raise his eye slightly up out of confusion as she slowly rubbed her cheek at bit.
Placing her index finger underneath her chin then sigh.

“I figure as much” She mumbles to herself, knowing she’s fully awake and this is not one of those ‘wake dreams’ where you think you’re awake but then you realize you’re still asleep and decide to wake up now. She can also think she isn’t dead either since this is where she remembers passing out.

Re-opening her eyes and looked back at him again, slowly moving her eyes examined him, up to bottom; head to toe.
He felt a little bit uncomfortable, wondering what’s she’s doing and glad she is not scared anymore; the scream she let out was surprising to him, watching her facial expression a bit, with a serious look then slowly came to a realization about something.
Not wanting to stay in this awkward silence, he was about to opened his mouth but she cut him off again.

“I’m sorry” She apologizes, making the person blink. “That I scream and scare you”. He wonders why she was apologizing.
“What...umm I should be the one to apologize for startling you”. He stated; a small shy smile appeared on her face in an embarrassing way.
“Still thou I must have scared you as well”.
“Oh” He exclaim in surprise. “Well it’s alright I guess…anyway are you okay thou?” He ask the only question, she can tell by his face that he been wanted to tell for a long time.
“I’m alright, I had a good rest here for a while” She honestly answers titling her head to the side. He releases a sigh of relief.
“That’s good! After I found you pass out and your injured leg, I thought it was bad news and worried you didn’t wake up” Explain the person.

/Injured?!/ She thought then she suddenly release it!! /MY LEG!?/ Her eyes widen a as she turn down to look at left pants leg, dropping the boot that was in her hand then pulled it up with her left hand

The Green person was startled by her actions, as she twist her leg a bit so she can see the back, her breath got stuck in her throat as she looked at the leg; the would on her leg, it was gone, all gone like it wasn’t there before.
She couldn’t believe her eyes, with her right hand to grab the pant leg then using the left hand to lightly press on the skin.

/It doesn’t hurt anymore/ she thought pushing hard on it now, still not feeling anything only the touch of her hand. That’s why her shoe was missing when she woke up and realize it didn’t even hurt when she stood up but still how is that impossible it heal so quickly. She turns her glaze to the green person, thinking he has the answers.

“Did you heal me?!” asking in a calming way as she drop the pant leg, the green person smile a bit.
“Yes I did, I couldn’t leave it alone, I’m afraid it would be infected” he reply, she slowly walked up to him, he froze on the spot. Once she was about three feet in front of him she lean in a bit, making him lean back a bit. Both can tell their about the same height thou her hair loops and his antenna stand out an abit more, he was feeling a little more nervous.
“How?!” She asks, making him blink in surprise.
“Excuse me?” he stated.
“I mean how did you heal me?! My injury would take at least three weeks to heal, give or take” Said she as she grew in curious at him. “Do you have a like a magic position or an item that can do the trick?!” again she ask feeling a little more excitement in her voice and her expression shows a little more bright. He couldn’t believe his eyes and ears of what she’s saying and he’s seeing the look on her face.
“Umm I don’t have those, I have a healing ability” He explain has he raise his right hand in front of her. “I just need to be closely above the injury then focused on it, then my hands glow and heals the wound or injuries, it takes a little time but you’ll be back to your old self”.

She leans in to look at his hand to look more closely as she raise her hand and gently brush her fingers tips on his palm, making him blush a bit of purple by the contact of the skin while she mutter ‘Amazing’ while thinking his skin is smooth then pulling her fingers away from his palm, making him drop his hands, then an idea pop into his head as he looked at her.

“May I ask what happen to you out here?!” He asks again but with a more stern tone “When I found you, it appeared you been thou a rough time, your injured leg states it” exclaim him, she lower her eyes a bit, she knew she was going to get ask that question sooner or later. “Did you get lost?”
“Well…you could say that, I was looking for the nearest city, but I was out here for hours while didn't know the way to go” She answers him.
“How did your leg came like that??” He asks her again, she hesitates to answer that question.
Not sure how to answer him, thou she was hoping to answer his question when she wanted to get to the city as soon as possible since time was at estate.
She slowly glaze at him but blink as she notice his body was trembling as a shock facial expression appeared on his face while looking upwards to the cliff and became worried for him.
“Hey are you alright?” she asks as she lean in a bit and extended a hand to reach other to his shoulder.

Suddenly he floated straight up from the ground and over the cliff, yielding out of surprise while catching her balance.
Blinking at the sudden moment, she dash out underneath the cliff, the sun’s light touch her face as she looked up to the cliff.
She couldn’t believe her eyes on what’s she is seeing, he is floating on thin air over the cliff looking forward to the left direction.
Bring both her hands up to her face, ball them into a fist and rubbed both her eyes thinking there playing tricking on her or something, when she stop rubbing her eyes and looked back at him again still floating, knowing what she’s seeing is true and wondering how is he doing that?!

“ALRIGHT GOHAN!!!” He shouted in delight with his hands balled into fits.
“Gohan??” She whispers with her head tilted to the side in confusion, thinking he can see his friend from that distance maybe.
Staring at him; wondering what he’s going to do.

--

Full of happiness that his best friend is alive and has come back, thou Dende thought it were Goku at first since of his father’s battle Gi; also stating how powerful he is now and beat up Buu; even the creature was surprise himself, How did he reach that strength?!

/It’ll be over soon!!/ He thought with relief. /Head over to where they are, I know Gohan would finish him off before we get there/ deciding on it, he turns to look over his shoulder towards the girl, who was staring at him in confusion.

Watching her then wondering what she didn’t answer his question about her being in the wastelands by herself, then he questions if she was truly lost? Or could she be in trouble? However time is at an estate since knowing both have questions for each other
Also another fact is Dende couldn’t leave her alone since after what has happen recently and what she been thou, it’s his duty as Guardian of the Earth and he wants to honor the title even if the people of earth will never acknowledge him. Piccolo said its best thou even thou Dende disagree with him as he wanted to learn more of humans and the earth.
Flying back down towards the ground; landing about four feet from her, thou she was un-startle but she’s still start at him amazement.

“Listen” she looked at him. “We both know we want answers for each other questions about what’s going on, but for now I think we should get going”. He stated, she looked at him with little suspicious.
“May I ask where thou?” She spoke while giving him her full attention.
“My friends are just over there in the far distances, we’ll catch up to them along the way”. Dende inform her, while she nodded in understanding, her eyes widen in realization of what he stated.
“Can you really see that far?!” She asks, he nodded.
“Yes, that’s another one of my abilities” He declared, she smiles at him.
“You’re really are full of surprises are you” she complements him, while he looked away abit; embarrass little purple blush form on his face. “Which way thou” she ask again, he raise his hand, pointed up towards the cliff.
“Just beyond that cliff and straight ahead” said Dende putting his hand back.
“I see…” the girl replied as she walked past him, both eyes met for a brief moment then she headed towards the back underneath the cliff, Dende watches her as she sat down on the ground, reach over to grab her boot, place back on her foot then lace it tight, stood up then place her hands on the large rocks slowly rubbing them.

Dende is hoping she would come with him even if it’s just to find the others and Buu is defeated by the time when they met up.
A thought did came to him when Piccolo told him his life-story when he lived on the lookout; Piccolo the only Namakian being admit he’s not much of fan of humans and he only closest to Gohan. It took him a while to warm up with the other Z-warriors thou he really doesn’t like humans. He did thought she is going to hurt him after seeing him for the first time and basically act out in a self-defense but no; she grew curious about him, he did remember Piccolo’s stated of him to be careful around people who aren’t aware of ‘us’ since they appear different, and possibly attack him because they don’t understand what they fear or what's different.
Without a doubt in his mind when she did waked up she did find him a bit suspicious of him, a creature she never seen before, he did remember the look she gave him before they were started talking. Even he admits to himself he was suspicious of Gohan, Krillin and Bulma when they first arrived on Namak, around that same time Freiza was. Gohan and Krillin did risk their lives to save him after Freiza and his men killed his family and the village to get to the dragonball, however the thought of them working with that tyrant was possible, until they reveal their plans to him and knowing their here to help him and his people. Knowing their intentions are pure.

“There wide alright” A voice rang out, making him snap out of his thoughts and looked at her when she pulled away her hands away from the large boulder.
“Pardon?” Dende ask as he walked over to her.
“The boulders are wide enough to climb them” the girl stated while looking upwards to the top of the cliff “Would take about five minutes to reach the top, making it easy for us…ern thou I should say ‘I’ because you can fly up there” She chuckled at the fact.
“You’re going to climb up there…to the top of the cliff?” He ask with bewilderment, she nodded.
“Yea, you can fly ahead of me, I’ll catch up” the young girl spoke as she walked over to where the pale green bag is, lean down to grab the black strap then move it over her left shoulder as the bag rested on her right hip, walked back to him as she place her hands on the rock then push herself upwards on the boulder then stand up; using her hands to find a wide enough gap for her hands to grasp the edge then push herself upwards; started climbing.

The young guardian watches her as she slowly made her way up the stone wall; he thought to give her a lift up since he’s not human, he can easily hold her up no problem despite they share the same height, he slowly floating upward to where she is.

--

As she slowly push herself upwards on another boulder, her back on the large one as she steady her feet on the other one, she panted and taking a deep breathe ready to push herself again to stand to where her feet are, feeling eyes on her turning her head to the left, look back and see the green boy just floating there, startle she almost lose her grip but she caught herself at stare at him

“Yes?” She ask him while wondering what’s he’s up to, he reach out and offer her his hand, looking at his hand confuse.
“It should be faster if I carry you up there” The green alien stated, her eye-brows raisin in shock, quickly wave her hand off to him.
“Oh no, don’t worry about me” the girl kindly smile at him “I can manage”.
“Really its no problem, I can carry you with ease” He spoke his face showed determination, even if she said ‘No’ he wouldn’t float up and wait for her.

The girl gave him a worried look, she’s afraid she’ll be too heavy for him to pick up, plus she’s a big girl but not as in ‘fat’ but of age to handle herself in this type of situation, she can climb up there no problem but then remember he’s wants to get back to his friends sooner. Not to mention she also wants to value time, she really needs to get to the city as soon as she can.
Finally deciding on taking the risk, she looked back at him.

“You…”She started, he listen “Are you sure you can carried me up here? Even with my bag to add more to the lift” She asks. He smile at her, eyes brighten she thought he has a cute smile as a small brush form on her face.
“Yes!! I promise you that and I won’t let you fall either” informing with confident, he floated over a bit but not to close since she’s needs the space to reach over to him, taking a deep breathe to calm her nerves; even thou they aren’t that high yet and she isn't afraid of heights, the fear of falling gets to her.
“Okay then” she place her right hand on the stone wall behind her, use her left hand to reach over to him, both hands clasp each other as he move a little bit more closer while she twist her body, her right hand reach out, he got it also clasping it with his other hand. Pushing her legs up as one leg stand on one boulder while the other one was on the side of it angle while keep saying to herself ‘Don’t look down’, again taking a deep breathe looking at him then nodded stating she’s ready, he nodded back at her as he slowly float backwards.
Feeling herself being pulled forward and a bit upwards as her legs being lifted off the boulders, then her legs light swing down, thou the feeling of nothing underneath her feet as they hang out; her breathe hitch in her throat with a small squeak of fear shutting her eyes quickly.
“I’m sorry that I’m too heavy for you!!” She shouted a bit with worried, thou she heard a heart-fully chuckled, making her confuse and looked up at him, to her surprise, seeing a cheerful and calm smile on his face, no discomfort or struggle.
“Like I said, it’s no problem at all” exclaim in a calm matter, He stare back at her.
Feeling a small blush again on her face again looking at him with amazement, he looked upwards then slowly floated upwards.

She gasp softly as she felt herself upwards as well while remaining her cool, thou she admit it was kind of fun, feeling the cool air around her body with nothing touching her feet.
It only took 20 seconds to on top of the cliff then she would climb the stone wall, he flew about eight feet away from the edge of the cliff as he slowly lower her down to the ground, her feet touch the ground as he also slowly landed on the ground two feet in front of her, both hands holding, she looked over the cliff; speechless.
Slowly they both let go of each other’s hands.

“How do you do that?!” asking out loud as her eyes grew like dinner plates, he gave her a shy smile.
“That’s a different story Ms...” He answer then trail off, both of them realizes that they never gave each other’s names; both of them were feeling a little sheepish.
“I guess we should introduce ourselves” the young girl subjects as she giggle, feeling a little awkward.
“Yes” He said “My name is Dende” little green introduce, her smile brighten.
“Dende…that’s a really interesting and nice name” She complements him as a little blush form on his face.
“Thank you” replied Dende, again she giggled.
“You’re welcome, my name is Cherry” She introduce herself.
“Cherry…”He trail off the name with his own smile. “Well its nice meets you”.
“It’s nice to meet you to Dende”.

They slowly become a bit more comfortable with each other after they know their names, so maybe they won’t be so awkward much.
Both had questions for each other, Dende wants to know about her situation and how she came to be and Cherry wants to learn about him and his abilities.
However they both have a countdown clock with their own different reasons, thou as of now put it aside for now.

“So which way now?” the white hair girl ask, he turn his head to the left.
“Just over there” reply Dende as she looked over to where his head turn. “They’ll be up there” thinking while hopefully Majin Buu is defeated by now.
“You said your friends are over there right?” Cherry ask again.
“Yes they are there so…”He trailed as his eyes wide in shock as his body started to shake again.

Cherry turn her head to look at him again, worried filled her eyes since he did that the last time when he spooked her by suddenly flying up.
She began to wonder if he has a health problem due do sudden shaking, maybe because of his heart or he has asthma? thou she wonders if he can get asthma.
Dende on the other hand felt something different, none of his friends are getting weaker, Gohan is still powerful enought but Buu isn't getting weaker, he's just getting angry.

/Something isn’t right!!/ He thought. /We have to hurry/ He looked at Cherry with a determined look but more worried in his eyes.

“We have to hurry!!” He informs her, she grew a caution look.
“Why!? Did something happen to your friends?!” She asks.
“Yes!! I know their up ahead somewhere, I wouldn’t mind flying us there, but I can’t right now, there’s a reason for it and I’ll explain later” He pause for a bit as he bring his hands together to grasp them like he's praying while staring at her “Please we don’t have much time” Dende exclaim, her eyes narrow into a serious stare, made him slightly jump at the sudden change of air around her, using her right hand, placing it on the black strap on the bag; hanging on her shoulders and grip it hard while nodded at him, knows what’s going on, thou she does wants answers out of him and maybe meeting up with his friends could have them as well. Also wondering if they gotten hurt, and Dende can only see them, one way to find out.
“Alright!! Lead the way” spoke Cherry with confident.

His own smile grew and he nodded back at her.
Both of them turn their heels and sprint ahead to the direction he pointed before as the sandy ground brush against their feet at their top speed, hoping and with luck they can make it to his friends.
THIS FANFICTION IS MEANT FOR FUN!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE A OC ENTERING THE CANON WORLD/STORY!! YOU KNOW WHERE THE BACK BUTTON IS HOWEVER THE WRITER WANTS SOME CRITICISM ON HER WRITING!
AGAIN THIS IS MEANT FOR FUN AND THE WRITER'S IDEAS. DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!!.

Soo here we are and finally posted it!!
Re-reading again and fix some errors of it which, but I know you guys will find what I miss.
I've been heavily inspirited by the writers here on DA, mostly the Dragonball stories~ and I decide to write one of my OCXCanon couples: Cherry Henderson and Dende from the series.
And the reason its call 'Hold your hand in confront' since I notice there's alot of hand holding between the two of them in the story.
I also hope I can devoplement them slowly into a romance, not love at first sight in all, thou its cute but I want to try my hand for devepoling a realationship before the really fluffy stuff happens.

Like I said in my P.F.S *Picture for story* me and my adorable little sister Arika --> :iconjaffarusina: were pondering ideas.
I thought I could decide to try making a canon story with it, I know I'm going to get alot of hate if I try to change some parts of it or view Cherry as a 'Mary-sue', but I want to be creative from what's there.
The episode where Majin Super Buu turn everyone into chocolate at the Lookout, and Gohan and the others thought Dende was 'dead'.

Deciding to play with idea since we don't know what he's been doing there while Piccolo and Gotenks fought Buu, or where was in before they met up, I thought it would be an interesting idea while tried to match the time-flow by the anime.
I has had to look up some vids and pages in the manga to either mix in or follow what's happening within that time story.
The reason for helping is in the epsiode of the Buu saga before they headed to New Planet Namak; Dende stated he wants to help his friends and his job is gurdain of the earth I can see him, helping someone in need, but Piccolo will share his life story with him since what happen to him in Dragonball; not out of bitter-ness or being mean, Piccolo is saying that to protect the young namakian since he's still young
As for Cherry I think its time I should show you guys her personality since I really need to design or draw her personalty within the pictures then just her being cute.
And figuring out on how they meet as well, Cherry is more curious about them then scared of him.

My worries are is; I'm worried I might break canon or I didn't match Dende's personality well; yes I know Dende is a under develop character but I'm sure I can give some to him with what's there.
And yes even I can't resit myself for making TeamFourStar jokes XD hahaha little green.
What happen to Cherry will be reveal next time in the story if this goes well.
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy the story and if you have any 
Chapter/Part 2 anyone?

This is awesome. I love it! I never really ship Dende with anyone before, but now I do. Cherry is a very interesting character, and I like this is set in the Majin Buu arc. I can't wait to read the next part:)
