Dear Journal
My dad is a complete and utter jerk. Ok, let me tell you what happened. We landed on Earth, and instead of Goku (That other Saiyen. His name used to be Kakarot, but he's Goku now.), we found his son, Gohan, a Namekian called Piccolo (Who was a super cool warrior-class Namekian), and a short bald guy called Krillin. We were going to use the Saibamen to beat the location of the Dragon Balls out of them, but three more Earthlings showed up. One had three eyes (How cool is that?!), on had all these awesome scars on his face, and one was this cute, tiny guy that looked like a sweet little mime. I found out later they were called Tien (three eyes), Yamcha (Scarface), and Chiaotzu (adorable little mime). Then the drama started.
You see, I know how much Daddy loves sport, so I pointed out there were the same number of Saibamen as Earthlings. His reply, and I quote, was a sarcasm soaked, "Congratulations Maris. You've learned to count to six. I'm so proud."
Needless to say, I snapped back and, even though I was his enemy, Krillin backed me up. All of them did, actually. Turns out, even if I was their enemy, they couldn't watch a little girl be bullied. Then, of course, me and Daddy got into a fight, and he had the nerve to slap me! In front of our opponents and everything! The Earthlings shouted at him on my behalf (What great guys!), and that encouraged me to give Daddy what's been coming to him for 11 years. I'm pretty proud of this outburst, so I'll put it here. "That's IT! I have put up with your insults, and your anger management issues, and constant abuse, but no more! You can't treat me this way! Even our enemies think you're in the wrong! So forget you! I'm going home!"
He yelled at me back of course, saying I was being a disobediant brat, and I couldn't leave, and when I ignored him and started to leave anyway, he BLEW UP MY FREAKING SHIP! I mean, who does that?! So I snapped at him to leave me alone, and flew a safe distance away, but close enough to watch the fight. Go Earthlings! The first death is a Saibaman, at Tien's hand. Then, Yamcha takes on one. It looked for a sec like he kicked its green butt, but then it grabbed him and self destructed. I felt bad for that poor guy. Then, Krillin got really ticked off, and used a cool energy blast to destroy all but one of the Saibamen, and the last one was destroyed by Piccolo (He's awesome!). Then, Nappa joined the fight. First he took off Tien's arm (I felt for him.), then Chiaotzu latched on to Nappa and self-destructed, trying to do the same to Nappa as the Saibaman did to Yamcha. Unfortunatley, it didn't do much. Then, Tien used up the last of his energy trying to avenge his friend's death, but ended up collapsing, dead himself, and Nappa recieved minimum damage. Talk about your tear-jerker! Of course, Daddy says Saiyens don't cry, so I didn't, but I was sad. Then the remaining three tried to take on Nappa, but Gohan's, like, half my age, and he got scared and hid. I can't say I blame him. If I were a five year old fighting a guy who'd killed three of my friends and was going to destroy my planet, I'm sure I'd be scared too. Of course, I don't really have a home planet, so I can't say with absolute certainty I'd be the same, but that's beside the point.
Anyway, the fight continued, and Nappa was going to blast Gohan, but Piccolo stepped in and took the blast instead, giving his life to save Gohan. Talk about a great guy! This is why I love Namekians. Then (Cue the fanfare), Goku arrived! First, he healed up his son and buddy (Wish my dad cared that much!), then he totally kicked Nappa's butt, paralyzing him. Then, of course, Daddy distroyed him since, in his mind, he was now useless. Then, the TOTALLY EPIC fight between Daddy and Goku began! Both of them took tons of damage, and Gohan, Krillin, and some fat, cowardly guy helped. Wimpy even managed to cut off Daddy's tail, and boy was he mad! And Gohan turned into a Great Ape and did major damage, before Daddy chopped off his tail so he turned back. The funny thing is, Gohan fell right on top of Daddy mid-transformation, so Daddy still had a giant monkey on top of him for a minute. All in all, Daddy got his butt kicked, but was allowed to live and run away with his now-nonexistant tail between his legs.
Now the hard part. Since my ship's destroyed, I'm stuck. I hate to admit it, I was terrified! So, I did the only logical thing. I went up to the guys who had every right to be ticked off at me because my dad had beat them up and had their friends killed. So, I did the only thing I knew how. I tore up my jacket for bandages, apologized for my father's actions, and purred. Purring is a way to reassure and show trust and honesty for us Pantherlins. Turns out, they're greater guys than I thought! They don't blame me at all, and Goku said he and his wife would look after me until I could find a way home! How nice is that?! So, now I'm on a plane with Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Goku's wife Chi Chi (who has agreed with her husband and decided to look after me), his teacher Master Roshi (who is very nice and says to just ask if I need anything), Bulma (she was nervous with me at first, but she's cool, and asks me to call her Auntie Bulma. I like her, and envy any kids she may have in the future, 'cause they'll have a great mom.), a cool talking cat named Korin, and Yajirobe, the guy who cut off Daddy's tail, and doesn't believe I'm related to him. So, I'll be living on Earth now. Maybe this was for the best, especially since we're gonna find a spaceship and go to Namek. I guess after Namek I could go home, but I think I may like it here better. I'll have to think about that. Well, that's all for now. I'm really tired.
(AN: See! I told you there would be more action. I changed the title, because I think this will be the last chapter I do as a journal entry. Now, it'll all just be Maris's point of view. Please review!)
