A NEW LIFE SAGA

The Day

The next couple of days were a blur, I recovered from the wounds i received at VP's hands, causing my power level to skyrocket. I kept training with Pan, and even sparred with Gohan a little, though not much. Then came the day i had silently been dreading, the day of

the BBQ at CC. When i woke up that day i went through my normal routine, yawn, fart, eat breakfast, brush teeth, belch. When i went out front where Gohan Pan and Videl were already waiting i was forced to sigh. I really hoped that Vegeta had given up his beleif that i was the enemy.

"Come on slow poke were gonna be late!" Pan exclaimed.

"Thats kinda the point." I informed her.

"Trust me, if you don't show up Vegeta will get suspiciouss, then he'll go looking for you." Gohan said. I gulped.

"Don't worry, he's going to be to busy eating to kill you today." Videl said. Somehow i was not releived.

"Hurry up!" Pan said as she took to the sky. I groaned and followed along with Gohan and Videl. The flight was a pleasant one, then again i thought that about every flight i went on, i enjoyed the flying more than anything else.

Unfortunately we soon arrived. I was suprised to see how many people were there. Goten, Trunks, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, Eighteen, and some others i recognized were all milling about.

"Hey you guys! Took you long enough." Bulma said in greeting.

"Sorry, but David here was a bit slow getting out of bed." Gohan replied with a smile.

"Don't worry about it, just have fun. Talk about old times and stuff like that." Bulma said, the said "I have to go find Roshi, he's probably in the ladies room again." That being said she headed off.

Gohan looked at me and said "Ok, why don't you get to know everyone?"

"Sounds good." I said cheerfuly, i was starting to feel a bit better about this arrangement.

"Ok, have fun. And don't blow anything up." Gohan said as he and Videl moved off towards where Chi-chi was sipping some wine, and laughing at something Yamcha had said.

"Ok lets see, you already know Krillin and Eighteen, and definitely Vegeta." Pan said thoughtfully.

"I've met Trunks and Goten too." I added.

"Tien it is!" Pan exclaimed heading towards the triclops. With a shrug, i followed.

"Hi Pan, and i guess your David." Tien said with a smile as we walked up.

"Nice to meet you." I said extending a hand.

Tien took the offered hand and shook it before he said "I understand your the newest member of the gang."

"He's already fought his first villian." Pan added in.

"Krillin told me about that, sounded like you were having some trouble before Vegeta showed up." Tien replied.

"Well it was my first time." I said with a shrug. Then i added "I'm sure i'll do better on the next one."

"I'm sure you will too, sadly i'm getting to old for that sort of thing. Honestly, i'm amazed Krillin was able to keep up." Tien said.

"Nah, i may have youth but youv'e got the experience." I said.

"Brains too." Tien added. The next hour or so was spent like this, enjoying great food and meeting everyone. I barely even noticed Vegeta the whole time, until he walked up to me.

"Boy, come with me." Vegeta said, then walked inside. I followed with a sigh. I quickly grew concerned when he led me to the gravity room.

"So, what were you wanting?" I asked nervously.

"A sparring match." Vegeta said with a smirk, and i sighed.

"Alright, then here it goes!" I said summoning all my power and springing forward throwing a right hook, but Vegeta phazed behind me and dealt a powerful pnch which sent me flying through the air, but i flipped onto my feet and smirked and

sprang back with a flurry of punches and kicks which Vegeta blocked easily before he backhanded me into the far wall.

"This is boring. Lets make this more interesting." He said as he walked to the controls and set the gravity to 450xgravity, then he powere up into a super saiyan. I quickly stood and transformed as well. For a moment we faced off, and i thought

back to our first fight, which had probably been the most one-sided fight in all of history. My face took on a stony expression as i decided, this time would be different. I launched a ki-beam which forced Vegeta into the air where i was already waiting with a hammer blow which knocked him into the floor but he easily recovered and phazed behind me with a quick punch, but i phazed out of the way and came in from the side with a quick punch which met nothing but air as Vegeta

Phazed across the room and huurled several ki-blasts at me which i struggled to dodge as i moved steadily closer to my foe. Suddenly he sprang forward with a barrage of punches which i struggled to block before i was kncoked towards the ground where he was already waiting with a ferocious upper cut knocking into the ceiling.

"Shit!" I cussed as i whirled and dodged a ki-beam before hurling one of my own which the saiyan prince knocked away easily. Growling, i raced forward with a clohtesline which he dodged, so i quickly backed off barely dodging another blow

before i raced forward witth a reverse punch that sent Vegeta flying into the far wall.

Before i could attack again he held up one hand and said "Enough, i am convinced."

"Convinced?" I asked in confusion.

"Of your anwser when i asked i you were friend or foe, you have refrained from using any attacks with lethal force, like the Kamehameha attack, which you do know." Vegeta explained. Indeed, Gohan had taught me how to do the Kamehameha.

He continued with "I will agree not to bother you anymore about it, if you agree to spar with me at least three times a week."

I considered it, then with a smirk i said "Sure thing, i could use the excersise."

"What!? I'll get you!!" Vegeta snapped charging forward. Despite the beating i then received i finally felt like i belonged. But my adventures were hardly over, but i will relay them to you later, as a seperate document. Until then, i wish you all

well.
