"Daisy. Look. Have you seen that guy around here before?" Veronica asked her best friend sitting next to her on the step outside the ice cream parlor. It was a beautiful, warm, sunny day in mid September and both girls had decided to get an ice cream cone.

Daisy glanced up to look. "Nope," answered Daisy.

"Well, aren't you going to introduce yourself?" asked Veronica, finishing her ice cream. "Usually when you see someone new, you want to get to know them right away. Besides, I'm surprised that you've never seen him before. It seems like you know everybody. Don't you think it's a bit weird that he has three eyes?"

"Well, obviously I don't know everyone," answered Daisy finishing her cone. She looked at Veronica. "Why are you so worried about me not introducing myself right away any ways? So what if he has three eyes. You wouldn't want someone to make fun of the way you look"

Veronica blushed and hung her head, looking at the ground in front of her. "Well, I'm just surprised you've never seen him before. I think that he's kind of cute."

Smiling, Daisy asked, "Why don't you introduce yourself then?"

"I… I… I don't know Daisy," Veronica stammered, looking at Daisy unhappily. "You know what happened the last time I fell in love with a really cute guy. I don't want it to happen again."

"Not all men are like that," Daisy said, wrapping her arms around Veronica, resting her head on Veronica's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her best friend.

"And this is coming from the girl who has never had a boyfriend before," Veronica replied coldly.

Letting go, Daisy sat upright and wrapped her arms around her legs, staring at the ground in front of her, lost in thought. "You know I haven't found the right one yet. Neither have you, but you will."

"You're too picky when it comes to the one," Veronica answered, emphasizing on the one.

"Is it wrong knowing what I want in a guy and waiting for him?" Daisy asked her as she looked up at the man. Veronica sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing and followed Daisy's gaze. The tall, muscular male was leaning up against a light post. He must be waiting for someone Daisy thought to herself. A few seconds later, a short fella with pure white skin and red circles on his cheeks walked out of the store with some bags in his hands and began talking to the one leaning against the light post.

"He looks like he should be in the circus," Veronica blurted out.

Daisy slapped her across the back of her head. "Veronica! Don't be so mean!"

"But…"

"No buts! I'm going over there right now and introduce myself," Daisy stated as she rose from the steps of the ice cream parlor, straightening her white, long sleeved summer dress that clung to her figure and brushing back her long black bangs that framed her face.

"Did you have to slap me so hard?" Veronica asked as she stood up with Daisy, rubbing her head. "I think I'm going to get a bump on my head."

"Oh, boohoo. Is poor Veronica going to start crying?"

"Very funny," Veronica muttered.

"Do you need me to take you to the hospital, or do you want me to kiss your booboo?"

Veronica playfully punched Daisy in the arm. "Why did you hit me so hard?" Daisy mimicked and started laughing. Veronica couldn't help but to do the same.

Daisy stopped laughing and slapped Veronica again. She stopped laughing and looked at Daisy, puzzled, only to see her smiling. "What did I do now?"

"You're distracting me."

"Sorry to keep your majesty waiting," Veronica said jokingly as she bowed a little, making both of them laugh.

"Well, here goes nothing," Daisy told Veronica and headed over to where the guys were.

"You two are new to this town aren't you?" Daisy asked the two as she approached them.

"How'd you know?" asked the short one as they both looked at her. .

"I know everyone in this town. I'm Daisy."

"I'm Choatzu," the short one responded.

"Tien," responded the taller one.

"It's very nice to meet you guys…"

"DAISY!" Tien and Choatzu looked up as Daisy turned around to see a beautiful young woman with long, blond hair running towards them. "Aren't you forgetting something?" she asked Daisy once she reached them.

"Um…" Daisy thought as she scratched her head.

"Where's Veronica?"

"She's over there by the ice cream parlor."

"Daisy, if this isn't a good time for you," Tien butted in, "then Choatzu and I should get going." Daisy turned around and disappointedly looked at Tien and Choatzu.

"You guys have to go so soon? I wanted to talk to you some more."

"Why?" asked Tien.

"Well, I just met you and I want to get to know you better."

"Daisy, who are these two?" asked the young woman. Daisy turned so that she was facing sideways to all of them.

"Vanessa," Daisy said glancing at her, "this is Tien and Choatzu." Daisy glanced at Tien and Choatzu and said to them, "This is Vanessa."

"Daisy, how 'bout we meet you somewhere sometime?" Choatzu asked.

"Sure," Daisy responded.

"Daisy," Vanessa chimed in before Daisy was able to say anything else to Choatzu. "You and Veronica were supposed to meet me for lunch to discuss some business."

"Oops. I forgot," Daisy said as she gave Vanessa an apologetic look.

"I figured as much. C'mon, let's go." Vanessa turned around and started to leave.

"Daisy," Choatzu chimed in before Daisy had a chance to leave. "When would be good for you to meet up again?" Vanessa stopped and sighed.

"Hmm," Daisy thought as she rested her left elbow in her right hand and she stroked her chin. "How does this Saturday afternoon at the park just outside town sound?"

"Saturday sounds great," replied Choatzu eagerly.

"Let's go Daisy! We can't keep waiting all day!" Vanessa said impatiently.

"I will see you guys Saturday then. I have to go before Vanessa here bites my head off," said Daisy.

"Bye," Tien and Choatzu said at the same time as they walked away in the opposite direction. Seeing them leave, Veronica jogged over to where Daisy and Vanessa were standing.

"So what were they like?" Veronica asked Daisy once she approached them.

"I don't know. It's hard to say since I was interrupted," replied Daisy, glaring at Vanessa.

"So, it's all my fault, huh?" asked Vanessa crossing her arms. "You were the one who forgot about our meeting."

"Oops. I forgot too," said Veronica.

"What am I?" Vanessa asked as she slapped herself in the forehead. "Your secretary?"

"Hmm… Secretary? Not a bad idea. I should get one of them," Daisy said jokingly, stroking her chin. Vanessa punched Daisy playfully in the arm making Veronica giggle.

"Wow. Déjà vu," said Daisy with a smile making Veronica burst into laughter.

"Ok you goofball. Let's go get some lunch," Vanessa said. She couldn't help but to smile at Daisy. Sometimes it was hard for her to believe how smart she really was when she seemed to be so naive.


"Why do you want to meet that girl so bad?" Tien asked Choatzu as they flew through the sky.

"I don't know," Choatzu answered. "It's just that," Choatzu paused for a moment. "She seemed so nice and…"

"You like her don't you?" Tien interrupted, glancing at him.

"No!" Choatzu responded quickly blushing a little. Tien looked back to where they were headed. They had reached their log cabin in the mountains and landed outside.

Tien looked down at his small friend, who stood next to him. "You don't act like you don't like her." Choatzu blushed a little more. "Why?" he asked.

Choatzu looked up at Tien. "It's just that she was so nice and beautiful. We hadn't had a girl around since you and Launch broke up. Don't you think it's about time to find another girl?" Tien looked away at the mention of Launch. "C'mon Tien. Give Daisy a chance. We don't have to train all the time now that Frieza is dead.

"I don't know," said Tien softly as he walked inside the cabin.

"Please Tien. Give her a chance. Do it for me, please," pleaded Choatzu, following Tien inside and placing the bags on the counter in the kitchen.

"I'll think about it Choatzu," Tien replied as he sat down on the couch. "Now please drop the subject." Choatzu sighed and began to put the things that were in the bags away. He could tell there was something on Tien's mind since they could practically read each other's minds and was wondering why Tien wouldn't tell him and had shut off the link between their minds.
