Birthday Blast Off

Zhalla was of course completely unaware that her older brother had plans to totally prank her back ten fold, and that the planning behind that was from Nero himself of course! He was always ten steps ahead it would seem, seeing as the guys' plan to surprise her happened days before her idea to surprise Dion. Of course her surprise was a simple small one and maybe a little mean spirited even while Dion's was incredibly thoughtful and kind. Despite being siblings they were still quite different!

She of course wasn't actually going to leave the other Saiyan behind though, it was all just in a bit of fun and hopefully the siblings' interactions could get a laugh out of the kids too. She looked to Noki, a small scruffy blonde haired human(?) boy to see if he could sense on if her brother was near enough yet or not-- Zhalla herself was still learning to sense energy by Nero's teachings but Noki had already learnt how prior to ending up in her care. The young boy however gave a little shake of his head and a light shrug to accompany it. With Dion's energy suppressed the boy couldn't pick up on him! "Hm. Odd. I thought he'd of been here by now." She'd place a hand to her chin in thought before clicking her fingers. "We'll take off and see if we can see him from the sky instead, how about it?"

With them all agreeing they'd all take their seats and buckle up as the ginger Saiyan launched the ship to the skies! Technically her prank still kinda worked, or at least she hoped when he saw the ship already in the air he'd flip out at least a little bit. It wasn't long after having launched it though that Dion then turned the corner and was right out the front of the entrance to the shelter back on the ground! Zhalla pulled up to stop the ship in it's place before slowly descending back down, cackling from the drivers window of the vessel. "Hey Dion! Did I get ya? You totally thought I was gonna leave without you, didn't you? Haha!" She was his little sister after all, she could do a little pranking here and there.

While she was preoccupied with laughing though, the kids were more curious to get to actually see Dion for the first time, they'd heard lots about him after all and were excited to go on a trip into space with the brother to their caretaker! Zhalla of course had left out the part about him being older then her though. When the ship landed back on the ground and the landing doors opened again they'd all pour to get out the door to see him first! This caught Zhalla's attention back to the now though and she was quick to rush after them, "Guys, guys wait one at a time, remember no grabbing any tails!"

Dion would find himself surrounded by a swarm of kids from Zhalla's ship, most all of them were different kinds of species to one another but all of them wanted to meet the saiyan! "Guys guys! Oh my Kami he's real! Come look, look!" Squeaked a dark furred cat zoan child, "Are you Zha's older brother or younger brother?", "Younger right? He's much shorter then her after all", "Shorter doesn't automatically mean he's younger though "Sir are you suppressing your energy? I can't really read it too good, Zha said you were much stronger--" Quizzed the blonde boy from earlier before Zhalla finally caught up to the group and managed her way between them and Dion. "C'mon guys give the man a little space! Remember you can ask him all this on the ride over! We've got plenty of time then"

The ginger saiyan would then give Dion a gentle punch to the shoulder "What took you so long? C'mon we gotta get going!-- I'll explain about all of the extra passengers when we're on the ship also" She'd smile before gesturing for him and the kids to follow her back onto the ship. The kids began to slowly follow after her though all with casting looks back to the other saiyan along the way-- Soon enough though Dion would have a short window of time where he was by himself outside the ship, with Zhalla preoccupied with helping the kids get back into the seats and getting their space seatbelts back on properly. She had already had her last look at the building before their planned leave, now was the perfect time for him to nab it!

Seeing Dion so frazzled of course got a laugh out of Zhalla but she just knew that once he was on the ship and saw all the kids in her care she wouldn't be the one laughing anymore, best to soak it up while she still could! "My superior? You WISH brother! I am much higher then you, I'm your superior if anything" Though she of course knew he had a point but that would also require her to teach all the kids on board how to supress their ki before this exact moment which they didn't really have time for given all their packing...

Zhalla would chuckle lightly watching the kids all scramble to go and meet Dion and the bartenders reaction to such was amusing to say the least as he seemed surprised at the sheer amount of kids there. His look of pride though made her look aside crossing her own arms as she pretended to not notice.
"Hey!" She'd snap with a grumpy look at Dion when he mentioned about her being their 'lonely caretaker' this look only furthering her eyes narrowing when he said it was funny that one of the kids could sense but that she couldn't, she'd turn a bright pink in the face feeling embarrassed in response "Dion" She'd say in the kind of tone only a younger sibling could do when an older sibling or parent was being embarrassing for them-- Which he was being in multiple of his answers, did he have to tell the kids who was the eldest? Augh. "He's only older by a week guys so it's like, hardly a difference, c'mon" "He calls you little sister though so it for sure counts" Zhalla would give an unimpressed huff knowing she'd never hear the end of that fact.

Thankfully for Dion the kids of course listened when she asked that they give him some space and eventually they'd all make their way back to their seats ready for the journey ahead. "Three sizes every day? Damn well aren't you the busy bee? Tell me all about it during our flight, yeah? I wanna hear about what's gonna shock me!" She'd give an enthusiastic smile she was sure Dion knew that achieving as much with her was no easy feat so if he believed he had something to tell that would shock her no doubt then hell yeah she wanted to hear about it!

Zhalla was of course distracted with helping the kids re-buckle up for the space journey ahead, making sure all the youngest ones had their safety seat belts on and buckled properly, so she was none the wiser to Dion snatching up the shelter building into a capsule right behind her back, once Dion had jogged his way onto the ship too the doors would close behind him so he'd managed to get away with sneaking the snatch up of building without anyone knowing! Success! With all the kids secured back in their seats his sister would then take the captains chair of the ship herself before turning back to Dion now that he was aboard the ship this time.

His relieved sigh made her raise an eyebrow-- Was he really that relieved to be leaving Earth for the moment? "You can sit if you want yanno, here--" She'd spin on her chair in order to punch a button on the front panel which prompted for a second chair to the right of the captain's to spring up from a panel in the floor. "Don't often use those secondary chairs cause. Well, I'm usually the only captain, yanno but hey, they're there may as well use em"

She'd focus when getting the ship up into the air and launching it up into the upper atmosphere but once up high enough she could afford to kick up more conversation again as the ship would handle the most of it from here on out. Zhalla would rub the back of her neck before looking to Dion again, "I owe you an apology too also, in regards to the abrupt change of plans-- I didn't expect to be uh... Moving off of Earth but given those new Accords thing it kinda jeopardizes my line of work so I figured it'd be best to pack up and leave to Namek for now--" She'd pause before quickly adding, "NOT cause Nero's there just cause it's, safe and a nice alternative, yanno?" Daring she was, to even dare mention his name!

Dion needed no prompt though to mention him himself of course as he already had a tease in mind for her. The kids would wave back to Dion when he waved to them and a few giggled too-- More so at what he asked Zhalla. The ginger saiyan herself would feel her face start to burn up as it turned a light red in colour. "Actually I'm his ray of-- Wait no nevermind on that" She'd clear her throat and hold a first to her lips for a few moments as she gave Dion a glare that dared him to push this topic further, earning more giggling from some of the kids though none left their designated seats. "I-I'm sure he's been just fine without me-- Us! Don't you dare mention a word of this to him by the way, I'm fairly certain he was set on flying back home with his own brother once able so he won't know of them-- So I'll KNOW if you tell him Dion" She'd narrow her eyes at her brother but he had an upper hand here and she knew that. "Zha, who's he talking about? Is that this 'Nero' person you've mentioned before?"

The look Zhalla gave Dion next was very much a 'don't you dare' but without any words being uttered. She'd never hear the end of it one way or the other here. Either from the kids in not having told them about who Nero was to her or much about him in general, or from Dion in that she'd not told the kids about her 'sunshine' back on Plant. But either way one side gave fuel to the other, either Dion would send the kids into an uproar of excitement on something she didn't want them to cheer about or the kids gave fuel for Dion to further tease her with by dancing around the chance of telling them who they were talking about. She'd give a wonky smile as she tried desperately to shift the conversation back onto Dion.

"Oh that's nothing Noki don't you worry about it! Anyways Dion, brother please feel free to tell us of your adventures on Earth, yes?" Smooth recovery there Zhalla.
