The early morning light shown into the clearing waking a lightly sleeping Trunks. He sat up and looked around him trying to get a better idea of his surroundings. He stood up and headed over to his companion. Trunks crouched down and began shaking his shoulder until the boy started showing signs of stirring. Harry slowly sat up rubbing his eyes then glanced at Trunks. “Good Morning. Have any idea where we are?”
“Morning to you to kid and no clue, but I do know we better get moving so that we can find out,” Trunks said standing up. He turned and headed off into the surrounding trees in the direction he felt the highest amount of kis with Harry following close behind.
They had been walking for a couple of hours when Trunks decided to stop and give the kid a rest after seeing him struggling to keep up. “How long before we reach wherever it is that we are going.” Harry asked sitting down.
“We should be there by late afternoon.”
“Um I wanted to ask…. How can you do your strange magic without a wand?”
“What magic? You mean Ki?”
“If that’s what you call the way you started the fire,” Harry stated leaning back, resting on his elbows
“Ki, it’s the energy inside you. It’s in all living things.”
“So it is like magic. I’m a wizard and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”
“Sort of,” Trunks said sitting down across from Harry and shifting his sword to the side. “I can’t create things from the energy. I can just direct it for certain things. By the way, I don‘t think I‘ve really introduced myself. I’m Trunks Vegeta Briefs former President of Capsule Corp. and Z fighter. Though I can’t say that I’ve ever heard of Hogwarts. ”
“Well I’ve never heard of a Z fighter or of Capsule Corp either. Ok then, the question is where the hell are we?”
“No clue, but I have an idea.”
“Oh,” Harry asked, sitting up and giving Trunks his full attention.
“This may sound crazy but I think we’ve been sent to a different dimension, from our own.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well I’ve never heard of Hogwarts, you’ve never herd of Capsule Corp, and we both have no clue to where we are. I mean can you believe the grass being blue and the trees purple?”
“It is very weird, so I guess I would have to agree with you.”
“So you ready to start walking again?”
“Yeah I guess,” Harry said standing. Trunks stood and began leading the way again towards town. They traveled the rest of the morning and early afternoon taking occasional breaks to allow Harry time to rest.
Finally around late afternoon Trunks called another halt, sitting down in the shade of one of the purple trees to rest. Harry sat down across from him and leaned against a tree. “Do you hear that? It sounds like frogs, there must be a water source somewhere close,” Harry stated sitting up.
“Yeah you might be right, though if there is water, it might not be drinkable unless it’s a spring,” Trunks said climbing to his feet as the sounds got louder. He turned to head deeper into the forest when Harry let out a squeak of surprise as small blue fur ball, jumped off a branch above him and landed at his feet.
“What is this thing?”
“I don’t know, but you should be careful,” Trunks said walking back over to Harry. The small creature sniffed Harry’s leg before latching on to him.
“Um, what’s it doing,” Harry asked getting worried.
“I think he likes you,” Trunks stated smirking.
“Yeah, well I don’t like it, get it off.”
“You’re on your own kid,” Trunks said backing away. Harry let a high pitched scream when the small creature started bouncing up and down on his leg.
“Oh my God! Get it off! Get it off,” Harry shouted hopping around trying to rid himself of the creature. Trunks fell back against a tree laughing his butt off until he heard one of the creatures above him. He stilled and looked up in horror to see a whole tree full of the creatures staring down at him until they leapt off the branches. Trunks quickly fazed away from the tree, then smirked as he looked over to the pile of creatures on the ground trying to figure out where their prey went. Though Trunks smirk quickly turned into a look of dread when he felt something clamped to his arm. He looked down to see one of the creatures wrapped around his upper arm as it began to bounce up and down against him.
“Help me!” Harry was still hoping around trying to rid himself of the creature.
“Help you? I got my own problem to deal with,” Trunks shouted shaking his arm. The creatures held on tighter and continued their movement on their prey. The creatures from the tree began circling their prey with suggestive looks in their eyes, all you could hear is two high pitched screams as the creatures rushed them.
Hearing a commotion AJ rode up to the scene like a night in shinning armor from your favorite fairy tale, but sadly AJ was neither a knight or had shining armor. Instead she rode up on her trusty ostrich, whipping out her weapon of choice, she took aim and let her sling shot fly screaming her well known battle cry, “I'm going to beat you so utterly, your reincarnation will be a scientific anomaly!"
She Effectively scattered the creatures, but hit one of the figures in the head. Trunks sat up rubbing the spot, “Did you have to hit me?”
“Be grateful I came when I did, the fungies have been know to go at it for days with their prey, not to mention eating their hair.” AJ said hopping down from her ostrich and taking it by the reins. She took a step back eyes wide when she got a good look at who she just saved, a wicked smirk crossing her face. “Well my sister and cousin are going to faint when they get a load of you two.”
“Excuse me,” Trunks said raising an eyebrow. “But who are you?”
“My name is AJ. I’m one of the rulers of this land. Nice to meet you Trunks Vegeta Briefs and Harry Potter.”
“How is it that you know ours names,” asked Harry.
“I know more about you then you think. Let’s see… Trunks you’re the son of Bulma Briefs and Vegeta Prince of the Saiyans and both you and the rest of the Saiyans can go Super. Harry you’re a wizard, attending school at Hogwarts and your legal guardian is really Sirius Black framed for helping in your parents murder.”
“How do you know all of this,” Harry asked worried.
“Um I’m Psychic?”
“Right….,” Trunks said, not trusting her.
“Anyway if you want to know more you’ll have to come with me back to the Palace, you should find the answers you are looking for.” AJ turned and mounted her ostrich. “Are you coming?”
“Yeah lead the way,” Trunks stated following her with Harry bringing up the rear. They didn’t get to far before a dust cloud approached them coming to a halt a few paces before them on their various mounts.
“My highness, we caught up to you as soon as we could.”
“Late as always. Anyway get Harry here on a mount, I trust you will be able to keep up Trunks?”
“Yeah, no problem,” He said with a smirk.
“Alright then, lets go.” AJ took the lead and began leading the party back to the palace. Trunks taking to the air, while Harry doubled up with one of the soldiers riding a buffalo. The small party continued on through the afternoon.

The tried party finally arrived at the palace in the early evening. AJ dismounted from her ostrich and waited for Trunks and Harry to join her before leading the way inside, to a set of large double doors. “You two wait here a minute, I’ll be right back,” she said with an evil smirk. AJ slipped into the room, and walked to the other end. “Hi, having fun?”
“No.” The other queens replied bored.
“Well, I’m just going to make your day, most likely your life.”
“What kind of scheme do you have cooked up now.” Stratas asked.
“Just a little surprise that I found out in the wilds. I‘ll be right back.”
“Right….” Cy stated. AJ quickly turned and headed back the way she came and slammed the doors open.
“You boys can come in now.” AJ walked back up to the thrones with the guys following behind, as they drew closer, Stratas and Cy’s eyes grew wider. Stratas squealed as she ran over to her dream man and glomped him good, nearly knocking him off his feet; her arms were in a death lock around his neck while her legs were wrapped securely around his waist. Cy ran to her man and jumped on him knocking him to the ground, she laid atop him not letting go.
AJ rolled her eyes at their antics before walking over to her sister to pull her off Trunks. “Get Off him! You’re making yourself look like an idiot,” AJ said rolling her eyes and pulling her sister off the purple haired Saiyan. “And Cy get off Harry as well. They need to breath you know.” Stratas and Cy moved to stand beside AJ, staring at the two males, a smirk quickly crossing Stratas’ lips.
“Well girls, it looks like we’ll find out the answer to our bet pretty soon.” Cy and AJ nodded their head, wearing matching smirks. “Well since their here, how about we throw a party in their honor? We could do the measuring then?”
“Sounds like a plan,” Cy said agreeing with her.
“That’s not fair the demon boy’s aren’t here.”
“That can’t be helped, we will just have to record the results and wait to see if you ever get to meet them.” Stratas replied with a sigh.
“Just want are you three talking about,” Trunks asked interrupting the girls.
“You’ll find out…”The three of them replied in sing song voices.
“But enough with this for now, I’m sure you’re hungry Trunks?” Stratas asked walking over to him as he took a step back, not knowing what she was going to do. She quickly twined her fingers with his and started leading him out of the room. “Come with me to our lounge and I’ll have the cooks get started on a Saiyan sized meal.” AJ and Cy shook their heads before following Stratas, Harry quietly bringing up the rear.
