Chapter 4

Adelita was now at the spaceship's library and she was looking around for books about scouters. This library was one of the biggest libraries that she had ever seen in her life. There were a few stories above the first floor and the books in this library weren't organized the same way as the books in the libraries back on Earth. Instead of the Dewey Decimal System, the books were shelved by the authors' names. Adelita didn't know how to read the universal space language, but she assumed that by looking at the same letters or symbols that were on the books next to each other, that was going to be the author's name.

It's even more confusing now, but I hope that it is what I think it is.

She kept walking and so far, she didn't see any books written in her language. She sighed before searching some more on the first floor until she walked the stairs to the second floor. Finally, Adelita couldn't believe her eyes when she saw some of the books in a few languages that she's heard of on Earth: Japanese, Korean, French and German. It was a good start for the human, so she kept walking down the aisles and looking at different shelves.

Adelita's eyes lit up when she finally saw books in English and even in Spanish.

I can't actually believe these even exist! Now I have to look for books about scouters.

When she was looking in the English book section, she laughed when she saw Romeo and Juliet in the shelf.

Really? Why is this in here?

She quickly cleared her throat. Then she checked to see if anyone was in this area. To Adelita's relief, there was no one in the area.

I would've been done for if someone heard that.

She also found history books about different planets. She remembered hearing a little bit about Planet Vegeta one time from Frieza at the mess hall table. She also heard about Planet Plant too. She decided to take some of those books and do some research about those planets.

Finally, she found all of the books about scouters. How to fix scouters, how to read what's on them, how to even set the scouter to different languages!

Now that's more like it!

She picked up a few books she can about scouters, both English and in Spanish.

There was a machine at a nearby table and Adelita slid the books in and the books came out with security alarms on the front covers. Then the machine said, "Your books are due three weeks from today."

After Adelita got her books, she went back downstairs and she found Zarbon looking at books in one of the shelves.

She had to exit from the other door and take the long way back to her room. People walked by, but they didn't ask what books she was carrying. The last thing Adelita wanted was for Frieza to pop up behind her and ask about the books that she was carrying. She wasn't sure if he cared or not, but she still wanted to be secretive.

She accidentally bumped into someone again, but this time, it was Ginyu from earlier. She managed to keep hold of her books, however.

"I… I'm really sorry, Ginyu," Adelita said, hoping that he wouldn't kill her on the spot.

"No, no. It's okay, Adelita. Things happen," Ginyu replied, smiling before adding, "I didnt' think we would meet again today."

"Me neither," Adelita said.

This is now your chance to get to know her, Ginyu, Ginyu thought, "What kind of books are you holding? May I take a look at them?" Ginyu asked.

Before Adelita was about to politely say no, Ginyu was already looking over her shoulder and he said, "Ah, so you want to learn more about scouters, I see. I can help you if you want."

Adelita replied, making up an excuse even though this was true, "Frieza can contact me anytime to do assignments, so I never know exactly when he will ring up."

Man, my chance to spend time with her is now gone, Ginyu thought, but then he quickly realized that she was still standing there, "That's true. Well, I hope to see you later."

"See you," Adelita said without trying to make it seem like she liked him. She didn't like him and she didn't want to give him the wrong impression.

Ugh, that'd be terrible, Adelita thought before she went back to her room. She was relieved that she didn't come across anyone that wanted to kill her immediately.

She turned on the night light that was on the nightstand. She wanted to learn about the basics first before going to the more advanced stuff. Adelita wasn't an expert in building and making modifications to technology, but she was going to try.

So far, she's read that the scouters were actually made by an alien race known as the Tuffles. When she read that they were from Planet Plant, she thought about Dr. Emli. There was one section in the book where it talked briefly about the Tuffles.

The rest of the passage read, "The Tuffles were very advanced in technology and they were well-known for their extreme intelligence, especially in science. One of their inventions, the scouter, was used specifically for war. However, after the Tuffles were killed in the Saiyan-Tuffle War by the notorious alien race known as the Saiyans, the scouters were used all throughout the universe."

Reading the part about the Tuffles being killed by the Saiyans, Adelita was deeply angered by this. Why would they do evil things like this? Innocent people like Dr. Emli never deserved this.

Adelita remembered the sad look on Dr. Emli's face when she mentioned about her planet. It seemed really genuine to Adelita and it was so genuine that Adelita couldn't even think otherwise.

Adeltia moved on to the next paragraph and it started by saying, "They are still used today with the same functions of communication and power level scouting."

Adelita decided to skip the rest of the brief history and when she was flipping through the pages, she saw that she knew how to go to the different functions, thanks to Dr. Emli. However, she was going to read every single page since she needed as much knowledge as possible.

A/N: I would like to thank you all for reading! I am appreciative of this and I hope you all are having a wonderful day :)
