Tried uploading the chapter earlier but for whatever reason the website wouldn't save the changes I made to the document!

Anyways, please enjoy this update to the fic, it made me giggle several times while writing it.

"Lemo, is Broly still with that man?"

Lemo looked up from his work bench to the doorway where Cheelai stood in her Frieza Force uniform along with her coat. He set down the screwdriver in his hand and nodded. "I wouldn't expect him back anytime soon." He grinned slightly at the huff his friend let out.

It had been several months now since he and Cheelai had come to live full time on Vampa with Broly. During that time Goku had come on a regular basis to visit and train with Broly. At first Lemo hadn't been thrilled. After all, the first time they had met the other Saiyan he had nearly killed Broly. Now though, Lemo could appreciate the training Broly was going through. The Saiyan was learning how to control his abilities and could go longer and longer stretches without losing his mind to the fight. Besides, every time Goku came he brought supplies which Lemo could put to good use.

Cheelai pouted and crossed her arms. "Don't look too happy about it! I still don't trust that guy. There's something off about him."

Turning back to his project Lemo replied, "You're only saying that because when Broly is with Goku he can't spend time with you."

Immediately Cheelai gasped in outraged and cried out, "W-What! I...I don't care about that!" Her face was bright red by this point and Lemo wished he had a recording device on him.

"Sure you don't," Lemo said with a smile. "I must be getting crazy in my old age."

"That's correct," Cheelai responded chillily. After a brief pause she continued, "Well I'm going to go do my own training. If Broly gets back before me let him know will you?"

Lemo gave his friend a thumbs up and went back to work.

Stomping out of the cavern Cheelai grumbled to herself, "Of all the nerve! Jealous? Of that buffoon? As if!"

Lemo was right, he was going crazy in his old age. How else could it be possible that he would think that Cheelai was harboring feelings of any kind besides friendship when it came to Broly? Well...there had been a few moments during their trip to Pohiri a couple of months back that Cheelai had felt something...extra towards Broly but she had forced those feelings back because it wouldn't have been fair to him. How could she force herself on a guy who had spent forty something years with his dad on a planet with beetles? It wouldn't be fair…

By this point Cheelai had reached a spot a reasonable distance from the cavern. Even though she was no longer on the Frieza Force Cheelai took time every week to practice with her ray gun. After Pohiri she wanted to be ready in case more bounty hunters appeared and the bugs on the planet made perfect targets. Because of their history with Broly, the Vampa beetles usually gave the cavern a wide berth and Cheelai had to go some distance away from it in order to find some for target practice.

She sighted some and immediately began shooting at them. The first couple fell over but when the beetles noticed Cheelai they came after her. Cheelai ran, dodging around rock formations, shooting from various positions. All was going well until suddenly the gun stopped shooting. Cheelai gasped and ducked as a beetle leaped for her. Swinging around Cheelai cursed under her breath and reached for the bag at her side where she kept an extra charge cell for the gun.

Her hand grasped air. Somehow during her running and dodging, the bag had gotten loose and fallen. Several of the beetles charged at her and Cheelai turned and ran back the direction that she came keeping her eyes peeled for the fallen bag. She spotted the bag a short distance away and grinned. As Cheelai reached for it a beetle crashed into her from behind and she found herself sailing through the air.

Too stunned to shriek Cheelai hit the ground on a slant and found herself rolling until she crashed into something soft. Groaning she pulled herself up and found that the beetles were staring at her from the edge of a cliff. Cheelai immediately dropped into a defensive pose but the beetles only chittered at her.

Straightening Cheelai grinned and stuck up her middle finger at them. "That's what I thought!" She yelled up at them. "You messed with the wrong girl!"

At that moment the ground beneath Cheelai's feet began to rumble. Looking down Cheelai felt the blood drain from her face. The ground beneath her feet was green the grass waved softly in the breeze. Except, there was no grass on Vampa. Immediately Cheelai began to run for the side of the pit she was in. Suddenly the fur in front of her erupted like a volcano, the giant head of the Vampa Beast Ba looming over her. The creature roared and Cheelai found herself falling backwards from the force of it. She rolled to her feet and let out a string of curses that would have made a sailor proud.

During their time on Vampa, Broly had made repeated attempts to reconnect with Ba but the creature resisted. Cheelai and Lemo sometimes came with Broly but had always stayed up on the ledge away from the creatures long necked reach. Now however, Cheelai was up close and personal with the thing and calling herself a fool in fifty different ways. Dodging another attack she took stock of her situation. The only thing she had on her was the scouter but what good could that…

Cheelai would have smacked herself in the forehead if she weren't busy running for her life. The scouter! She could use it to call Lemo. Thank kami she had slipped it on this morning. She hardly wore the device anymore but it had felt strange training without it on. She quickly tapped the side button that would allow it to connect to Lemo's.

Lemo's voice came in crackly. "Cheelai?"

"Yeah Lemo it's me and I need help! Those beetles knocked me down into Ba-" Cheelai's rushed words ended with a shriek as Ba's head connected with her torso. All the air was knocked from her lungs and Cheelai found herself sailing once more. This is it, she thought with despair. This is how I die. On a patch of green fur in the middle of nowhere.

Strong, warm arms wrapped around her and Cheelai's trajectory changed so that she was sailing upwards. "I've got you," Brolly's voice murmured in her ear as they landed on the other side of Ba's hole.

Cheelai twisted in his arms and threw her own arms around him. Tears pricked the edges of her eyes but she forced them back. Now wasn't the time to break down and look. "Broly! H-How did you know I was in trouble?"

"I was with Lemo." Broly replied. An uncertain look came over his face. "Are...are you crying?"

Embarrassed Cheelai pulled away from her friend and turned her back on him. "N-No! I'm fine. Let's go back home ok?"

The two of them collected her bag and made their way back towards the cavern. Lemo waited for them at the entrance looking stiff with worry and concern. As soon as he saw them he visibly relaxed and rushed forward to greet them. "What the heck happened?"

Even more embarrassment flooded Cheelai and she said defensively, "One of those stupid bugs knocked me into Ba's hole."

Lemo put his hands on his hips and looked thoughtful. "Well, there's not much I could do about that…" He paused before saying hesitantly, "I could try making some rocket shoes. That way you won't get stuck again."

Immediately Cheelai shook her head. "Rocket shoes? No way! They'd probably just blow up my feet."

The three of them walked towards the two houses. As the reached the doorway to Cheelai's home Broly said abruptly, "I can teach you to fly."

"Fly? Like you and Goku do?" Cheelai asked in surprise.

"Yes. I could teach you. Both of you." Broly replied his gaze moving between the two others.

Lemo held his hands up and shook his head. "Count me out! I'm too old to be up in the sky like a bird."

His comment made the other two laugh. Still giggling Cheelai said, "Well I'm in. When do you want to start?"

The next morning Cheelai woke up bright and early. As she went through her morning routine she had to remind herself that she was excited because she was learning how to fly, not because she was going to be spending one on one time with Broly. And she was definitely dressing in one of her Pohiri outifts because it was comfortable. Not because she was trying to impress someone.

There was a soft knock on the front door and Cheelai couldn't help but grin at herself in the mirror. Realizing what she was doing, she shook her head and took in a deep breath before hurrying to the front door and opening it. Cheelai's mouth dropped when she looked at Broly and realized he had clothes on that they had purchased in Pohiri.

Although he still had Ba's ear around his waist, Broly's outfit was very casual. He wore a pair of shorts that showed off his thick muscular legs. The shirt, if it could even be called that, hugged every muscle of his chest and put his gloriously muscular arms on full display. He also had a pair of sun shades that were perched on his head and partially hidden by his thick hair. He hadn't wanted to buy them but Cheelai had convinced him that they were very necessary.

Mouth dry, Cheelai could only stare at her friend. All thoughts she had of being proper and giving him space flew out of her mind as she drank in the way he looked.

Suddenly Lemo, who had been standing beside Broly and was tired of being ignored cleared his throat loudly causing a deep blush to fill Cheelai's cheeks.

"Wh..What are you doing here Lemo?" Cheelai asked with a bit of embarrassment at having been caught ogling Broly.

Lemo smiled smugly and replied, "I came to check out the flying lesson. I probably won't do it but, well, who knows."

The three of them made their way out of the cavern and Broly led them up the side of it until they reached the top. From their vantage point Cheelai was surprised by how far up they actually were. Feeling a little nervous she took a small step away from the ledge and turned to the Saiyan.

"Alright! Let's get started," Cheelai said eagerly. "What do I need to do first." She gasped out loud when Broly suddenly grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up until she was face level with him.

Broly smiled reassuringly at Cheelai whose heart began to beat in her chest. "This is how my father taught me to fly." He lifted her up higher and Cheelai met Lemo's alarmed eyes over Broly's head.

Lemo who had been watching curiously at first, was hit by an instant realization and opened his mouth to shout when Broly flung Cheelai into the air.

"Broly, No!"

Cheelai heard Lemo yell the words but it was too late. For the second time that week she found herself sailing through the air, only this time she was cursing Paragus outloud for his parenting style.

Three days later Cheelai was asleep in bed when there was a knock on the door. Sleepily she opened her eyes and called out, "Come in."

The door opened and Broly entered carrying a tray of food. "I...brought you breakfast."

Cheelai blinked and sat up. Broly's flying lesson had ended up with her crashing into a small outcrop. She had ended up with several bruises and a sprained ankle. Broly had been beside himself with guilt afterwards and had tried to get her to eat one of the senzu beans that Goku had left. Cheelai had refused. Who knew when a serious threat would come and they would need the life saving beans. Determined to make up for what he had done, Broly had taken it upon himself to wait on her hand and foot. Lemo, who after making sure Cheelai hadn't been seriously injured, couldn't look at her without laughing.

"Thanks, but you didn't have to do that." Cheelai chided him gently. "I could have eaten with you guys over at the other house."

Broly shook his head and said firmly, "No, you're supposed to stay off your feet." He set the tray on the table in the other room and then returned to pick her up from the bed. Once in his arms Cheelai felt self concious about her appearance. She had literally been sleeping moments before. Slightly embarrassed she asked him to take her to the bathroom. Broly did so and then gently placed her on the toilet before retreating.

With a grimace at herself in the mirror, Cheelai quickly went through her morning routine before exiting the bathroom. Broly shot to his feet from where he was sitting but she held up her hand and said firmly, "Just stay there, I can make it."

Hobbling, Cheelai made her way to the table and sat down beside Broly. She was pleased to see that he had brought enough for the both of them. "Alright, let's eat!"

As they ate the two talked and Cheelai was relieved to see her friend relaxing. Once they were done Broly placed the dishes into the sink and asked her where she wanted to go.

Cheelai thought about it for a moment and then said, "Can we go to the top of the cavern? I'd like to sit on the edge."

A few minutes later they were seated there, their legs dangling off the edge. Cheelai gazed out at the landscape and breathed in deeply. Vampa had to be one of the ugliest planets she had ever been on with its rocky landscape and what seemed like hundreds of giant beetles. But she couldn't deny that this was the happiest she had ever felt in her life.

"I'm sorry I hurt you." Broly said drawing Cheelai's attention away from the landscape. "It's the last thing I ever wanted to do."

"If anyone's to blame," Cheelai replied dryly, "It's your father and his crazy way of raising you." she grinned and on impulse placed her hand over his. "Don't worry about it, this is going to be a funny story we can tell for a long time."

Broly looked down at their hands in surprise. Immediately Cheelai jerked her hand back and flushed red. "Sorry. I didn't mean to do that."

Embarrassed Cheelai turned back towards the view. As she internally called herself a fool in every language she knew Broly hesitantly reached out and took her hand in his. "It's alright...I don't mind." he said quietly.

A smile blossomed on Cheelai's face and she allowed herself to relish the hand holding. She could get used to this.

Raise your hand if you want to take Flying 101 with Broly! I hope you enjoyed the chapter, please leave a review!
