Aquaria sat in silence behind a large bush, observing the scene before her. Her doe-like chocolate-brown eyes twinkling with appreciation as she took down notes on her observation. Brushing a lock of darkish blue, waist long straight hair out of her vision. Her neatly cut fringe stopping just before her eyebrows. She wore a simple black sleeveless top, a navy skirt and simple stone coloured sandals.

Aquaria was an animal lover. She was observing a group of cute fuzzy squirrels scurrying around the bank of the crystal-clear small lake. She took down notes on their behaviour and sighed, satisfied.

She looked up at the sky, it was a peaceful azure blue, not a cloud in the sky, the temperature just right for lying around outside, the lush green grass supplying the cushioning.

Cell's imperfect form ran through the forest, not caring about any innocent tree that stood in his way. He was taking a 'short-cut' to escape from the Z fighters, again. He could tell how dry his throat was every time he breathed. His tongue felt dry and sponge-like. Cell hated being thirsty, a lot. He skidded to a halt before a beautiful clear semi-lake, it's waters simply begging to be drunk. In his clumsy haste and over exaggerated exhaustion, he stumbled a bit and then fell flat on his face.

Aquaria watched in silence, her doe-like eyes twice as wide as they usually were. Some sort of bug-lizard had just appeared out of no-where and was quite clumsy too. The creature then crawled over to the water's edge and tried to get a drink, although it couldn't. His large claws were making it near-impossible to hold any water and the creature was reluctant to stick it's head in either. It simply sat there growling at the water.

"Ah!" squeaked a female voice as Aquaria accidentally tumbled out of the bush she had been hiding behind. The creature stood there, growling harder to hide his embarrassment. He was still crouching on the ground in a very animal-like position. Aquaria avoided eye contact, knowing that if you stare into a cat's eyes it takes it as a fight challenge. She started to back away slowly, eyes on the ground, trying to look as un-interesting as possible.



Cell watched her, curious to this humans strange behaviour, 'She's acting like I'm some sort of wild. Oh I get it.' thought Cell as he smirked inwardly, 'She thinks I'm some sort of wild animal. I might as well play along, I need to entertain myself somehow.' thought Cell evilly.

He watched her closely as she slowly walked away from him, never turning her back to him. She then quickly ducked behind a bush on the other side of the lake.

'Fascinating. I've never seen such a creature! It's like everything rolled into one, although I couldn't distinguish any one creature from it's design.' thought Aquaria. "Hmm, thirsty," mumbled Aquaria as she turned around to the lake, to see the creature gone.

"Oh well." she sighed, "Might as well get a drink."

Aquaria cupped her hands and dipped them into the crystal-clear water, then took them out and drank, savouring the fresh taste. She glanced to the side and freaked at what she saw. The creature was crouching in an animal-like position, it's maniacal tail moving in swift, graceful movements that could've made anyone puke.

It was giving her a 'How-dare-you-try-and-mock-me-you-stupid-human!' look as it sat berley three meters away from her. Aquaria laughed nervously, "Th- thirsty?" she stuttered.

The creature, Cell, gave her an odd look, Aquaria mistook this, 'Huh?-you- are-actually-being- nice-to-me?' look for a 'What-did-you-say-I-don't-speak- English' look. "You know, drink," she explained as she gulped it down, Cell glared at her.

Once again Aquaria mistook his look, he had given her a 'of-course-I-know- what-a-drink-is!- I'm-not-that-stupid!' look and she had thought he'd given her a, 'are-you- mocking-me?!' look. Aquaria freaked, she didn't want to pick a fight with an alien-thing, especially one taller than her. "Here!" she squeaked, hurriedly scooping up some water and offering it to him.



Cell looked at the human, to the water she held out to him in her cupped hands, to the human again. 'Oh well. I'm thirsty anyway.' he thought as he slowly lowered his beak to her hands, his eyes still locked with hers. Then he broke eye contact with her and hurriedly lapped the water up. 'Thank Dende the Z fighters aren't here to see this.' thought Cell angrily.

Aquaria mentally slapped herself, 'Idiot! You don't know where it's been!' Her hands tensed slightly as Cell's rough tongue occasionally brushed her palms, making her shiver. After Cell had finished, she thought she could hear the slightest purring noise coming from the creature.

"Are all humans this gullible or was I just lucky?" came Cell's cruel and evil raspy voice as he stood up and wiped his mouth on the back of his hand. Aquaria's jaw dropped and she made several whimpering noises, 'Oh shit.'

"My name is Cell if you do not know, what is your name my dear?" he purred.

Aquaria's eyes seemed to be on the verge of tears as she shuffled away from him.

"Aw, don't be offended. It's not like I wasn't amused by your reaction. Most humans just run away screaming," Cell smirked. Aquaria frowned, she hated being humiliated, "My name is Aquaria and I couldn't care less if that prank you played on me amused you or not!" she cried defiantly, standing up. "Aquaria." purred Cell.

Aquaria's cheeks flushed a dark shade of crimson and she balled her fists, "You scared away the squirrels!" accused Aquaria.

"Oh what woe is me?" snorted Cell.

Frustrated to a point, Aquaria threw her rather heavy notepad at his head.

"Was that really necessary?" drawled Cell.

"You moron! I pitied you because of your inability to care for yourself!" shouted Aquaria.

Cell frowned and shot his tail at her, it stopped a millimetre away from the bridge of her nose.

"I see your point." muttered Aquaria, cross-eyed.

Cell chuckled and withdrew his tail, "I appreciate your sense of humour human, but that will not save you." Cell smirked evilly. "Then why did you stop?" asked Aquaria, mentally smacking herself for questioning him.

Cell's almost maniacal smirk widened, "Well I need to get a drink somehow, don't I?" he purred. Aquaria scowled, turning a lovely shade of crimson, she kept her tongue though.

"What? No hurtful retaliation?" cried Cell sarcastically.

"What do you call a gorilla with a gun.?" Aquaria asked slowly in a dangerous voice, eyes blazing. Cell snorted.

"Sir," finished Aquaria.
