Chapter 10
To the anonymous reviewer- Thank you for reviewing, and no, she isn't like Majin Buu. If you really want to know, you could just look through some previous reviews. As for the powerful, I never intended for her to actually be all that strong. She could pretty much be weaker than Goten and/or Trunks. She's just strong for her kind. And if something she said, such as in the beginning when she was attacked by Vegeeta, gave that impression it is probably just implied pride stopping her from accepting that it hurt. The kind of thing that gets you killed when you refuse to accept defeat or that your enemy is stronger than you, even though you already know it and continually mock them. I might just show a bit more of a hubris side to her. Also, the shape shifting doesn't really go that far. She can make herself a different race maybe, but she can't like turn into random animals or actually distort her voice or appearance. Her face would always remain the same, as with her shape and size. She can't get any taller or shorter and things along that line. Changing race doesn't make her any stronger, but weakens her abilities while she sustains the form. Something along that line, which is pretty much stuff that'll be implied or thrown in at random points throughout the story.

KIMEAL POV
As I had decided in the talk with Goten, I had gone to the filming for the show. I found it to be more complicated than people let on, but it didn't seem like a truly hard job. The director seemed pleased with my acting abilities, and it must show something from being able to pretend to be human so well. We had finished filming the first episode, which would air on Saturday during the filming for the second episode, and so on and so forth.
I exited the classroom and made my way down the hall toward my locker. I didn't even bother to hide the depression. I was probably emitting a black aura of it, so it was no use trying to smile it off like a happy, go lucky freak. I had just gotten the results for my most recent history test. Not good. One look at my top marks in other classes and then at my History scores would leave someone to question how the hell it happened.
I turned as I noticed Goten jog over to walk with me.
GOTENPOV
"Ugh," I heard Kimeal groan.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"See for yourself."
She handed me her recent test score for history. On her test were a lot of red marks and a big fat F. This astounded me. She usually seemed like such a smart girl. She had all those As in science.
Wait! I have an idea!
"Kimeal, I thought you were a straight A student."
She shook her head at his attempt at denial. "Maybe in math or science, but I'm failing history. I know nothing about human history or its wars. I didn't grow up here, remember?"
"Well, I could tutor you in history, and in return you tutor me in math," I suggested. It was worth a shot. That way, neither of us would fail and I would get to spend some quality time with her. But mostly so we wouldn't fail... That's believable, right?
"Really, you'd do that?" She smiled, looking up at me. Wow, she's a lot shorter than me.
I placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. It had an icy chill to the touch, though I still felt it as warm from what I see as a big warm heart.
"Of course, what are friends for?" I asked with a smirk.
"Great," she cheered happily. "How about we go to my place after school and we can study there?"
KIMEAL POV
"Sure thing," he responded with a goofy grin.
He clapped me on the back, making me falter from the force that could have seriously hurt or killed a human. He turned and ran down the hall towards his next class with a spring in his step.
"Meet you outside after school," he called over his shoulder.
I touched the warm spot on my shoulder where his hand had been. Friend... I smiled and made my way to math.
Yeah, it's kind of short. I just wanted to throw a chapter out there today rather than tomorrow or another day. Not sure when the next will be up; probably within the week. 'Till next time. Chow!
