First Day Part II

"He broke my heart today

I don't know what to say

I can't feel a thing at all

I did not see it comin'

Now you just a man that got away

I look at the ground

And give the sky the middle finger

Something inside said

"Here's a day you should remember

So mark it on a wall"

I never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to dumb girls

Taking themselves too seriously

I was so damn smart

I was the one girl

Who never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to somebody else

I miss you so much

Can't stand it

You bring out the blonde in me

'Cause I'm still hanging on

Even though you done me wrong.

And I got the heart to forgive this

But I'd never let you know.

What kind of girl would put herself

In that postition?

yeah

To think that I could ever fight the system

And I got fooled again

I never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to dumb girls

Taking themselves too seriously

I was so damn smart

I was the one girl

Who never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to somebody else

I thought I was strong (I thought I was strong)

But I was just dreamin'

I can't believe it (can't believe it)

That nothing was wrong (nothing was wrong)

I thought I knew what was goin' on

But love was deceiving me (love was deceiving me)

Now I'm just a dumb girl

yeah

A dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl

That's what I am

yeah, yeah

I can't believe that it happened to me

Something like this only happens to dumb girls

Taking themselves too seriously

I was so damn smart, yeah

I was the one girl

Who never believed it could happen to me

Something like this only happens to somebody else

(only shit like this would happen to me)

Can't believe this shit could happen to me

yeah, yeah

'Cause something like this only happens to somebody else

I guess I'm just a dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl

That's what I am

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb girl"

Mana, Speeka, Mel, Kory, and Wade sang loudly. The boys' hummed and clapped the tune in the background as shoppers turned to stare and smile at them. Dende found himself clapping as well. The group was loud, cheerful and happy as passer-by's complimented the girls.

"Dumb Girls sang by Thee Girls!" Mana yelled.

Dende laughed. Mana smiled at him, then the group turned a corner. Presently, they came to a large sized pool. The area was empty during school time, but on weekends it was crowded. The teenagers scattered around the area. Peppo, Sparks and his twin brother Boltz, and the other boys undressed to their shortsand dived into the water. The girls took off their jersey's and sat on deck chairs. Dende stood there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Mana looked over at him, "Hey, Dende, come over here."

The Earth's Guardian walked towards the girls. He readjusted the cap that hid his antennas stood in front of Mana's chair. She scooted to one side and patted the space next to her. Blushing, Dende lay next to her.

It's amazing, how much girl's can talk about so many things. Dende couldn't keep up with the conversation, so he ended up just nodding and smiling when everyone else did. Peppo called from the pool,

"Girls! Come one! The waters great! You too, Dende!"

The girls giggled and undressed to ski pants they kept on underneath their school clothes and bikini's. Before she jumped into the water, Mana looked back at Dende, who still sat on the chair.

"What's wrong Dende? Can't you swim?"

The Namek grinned sheepishly, "I. . . Uh, I can. It's just that. . ."

Speeka squealed from the pool, "He's shy! He's shy of his shorts!" There came laughs and Dende's face went purple.

Mana grinned, "You don't need to be embaressed. Everyone here has seen everyone's draws. Gee, even Drake has seen my bra!" She covered her mouth and giggled as Dende went even more purple than possible.

Mana started back towards him, the girls climbed out the pool and followed her. They formed a circle around the young Namek. From the circle the boys' could hear Dende protesting and even squeak a few times. The girls dispersed, running and jumping into the pool with large splashes. Dende stood now, in his red boxers that he'd bought to complete his new school wardrobe.

The teenagers from the pool laughed as he tried to look for his clothing. Mana had mysteriously managed to make his clothes disappear. Mana called from the pool,

"Dende, do I have to make you get in?"

There came gasps from the pool, but they continued to smile. Dende looked worried for a moment. As he looked down at Mana, she suddenly seemed to disappear and reappear in front of him. Dende gasped, as her arms encircled his waist. She leaned backwards, towards the pool, and with her arms still around him, she pulled them both back into the water.

While under the water, Mana opened her eyes. She reached one hand and twirled a finger around one of Dende's antennas.

Dende felt his body go rigid as she stroked the antenna. Then she pulled away from him and swam back up. Dende followed. As they broke the surface, waves cascaded over them. Their other friends had decided to wait for them for them to resurface, then bomb into the water near them to make large waves.

Mana coughed out the chlorine water and grinned. Dende was also laughing.

It was four hours later when they realized that school would've been continued by now. But, it was then decided that instead of returning late to school, they'd go for ice-cream.

"Besides school will be over in an hour and a half." Mana reasoned with Dende.

The Guardian nodded, "True."

They went to the ice-cream parlour and chose a plastic booth by the large windows. The group said their orders which took three slips of paper. Ecspecially since Mana's order alone took up almost a whole slip.

"I want a. . . . . . Napoleaon ice-cream, with lime and chocolate sauce, grated mint chocolate, white melted chocolate, extra nuts, cream and put a little chocolate milk powder on top please." She requested. The waitress took their orders very wearily. As if she'd known the teens for a long time.

Dende's theory was proven right when the waitress said meaningfully at Mana, "No grapes or chilli spice this time?"

Mana smiled, "No, I'm trying to cut down on my fruit."

Dende ordered a simple fudge sundae with extra chocolate sauce. It took a full twenty minutes to get their orders brought at the same time. They ate and talked for an hour, laughing and joking all the while.

But suddenly, Speeka let out a small whimper and pointed outside. "Mana, Drake's coming."

Mana looked out the window, and her eyes widened at the sight of the dark haired teen. She hurriedly threw down a few zenni, grabbed Dende's hand and started to half drag him towards the back door. She stopped in the back alley and whirled back to look at Dende's confused face.

"Dende! You have to get outta here! Drake is not someone you wanna mess with. He allows me to toy with him a little, but he never takes crap from someone else. Just run, and during school tomorrow, be sure to stay away from us." Mana ran a few steps, then looked back at Dende's frozen form. "Get outta here, Green!"

Dende nodded, then ran off in the opposite direction. 'What? What just happened? She looked. . .scared.'

As soon as he was out of sight, Dende leapt lightly into the air and took off into the sky. He flew steadily towards the Lookout. As he reached the platform, he felt lonely for a few seconds. That day had been great fun for him.

He landed on the Lookout, and was surprised to see Gohan and Videl there. Gohan turned as he sensed Dende, "Hey, where'd you go? We were worried."

Dende shrugged, "I was out having fun." He stated simply and, just like Mana, shrugged his shoulders.
