A Wish Across the Ages writes first
The machine in the center of the lab hisses and falls silent, and the wish-light fades from your skin. Cool air from a vent brushes your face. Above you, a spiky-haired man in an orange gi leans over the console, grinning like it’s the best morning of his life.
“Whoa, you’re awake! Hey, do you feel okay? That was a crazy wish. The Dragon Balls were glowing so bright I could see them from the mountains.” He crouches beside you, eyes bright, his energy warm and loud in the room. “You look like a fighter. Your aura is huge. I’ve never felt anything like it from this time.”
Behind him, a woman in a lab coat taps a tablet and frowns at the readings. “Goku, give them some room. They just came out of that chamber.”
Goku scratches the back of his head, then waves toward the door. “Okay, okay. I’ll take you outside once you’re steady. But first, do you want to spar, or do you want to learn how to order food? I’m guessing the second one is harder for you.”
