Chapter 2: Feeling Better?
Hotaru awoke the next morning, the sunlight filtering through her window. Her eyes fluttered open. She got out of bed she noticed she was still wearing her school uniform. She sighed. Luckily she kept a spare outfit in her sub-space pocket just in case.
She pulled it out. It was her usual black leggings, black skirt and black turtleneck accompanied by a pair of black boots.
She walked out of her room to see Chichi cooking breakfast, Goku yawning impatiently. Gohan walked up to her.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked innocently.
"Yes, I am. But I sure am hungry." she said.
"Are those the only clothes you have, dear?" Chichi asked.
Hotaru looked down," This and the outfit I was wearing yesterday are all that I have."
"We'll take you shopping sometime today. But first I think you need to start studying. What level do you think you are at?"
I don't really feel like studying but they are giving me shelter and food so I probably should,Hotaru thought.
"I think I'm about 6th or 7th grade level," she estimated.
"Let's get you started right away," Chichi walked over to a bookshelf and picked out several books and piled them in Hotaru's arms," Algebra 1, Beginning Physics, and Advanced Geography and Social Sciences. There should be a desk in your bedroom. Why don't you get to work in there and I'll bring you a snack."
Hotaru walked into her bedroom and set he books on the desk and got to work. She never really liked school but she had always been a good student. Especially for Michiru-mama and Setsuna-mama.
Goku walked up to Chichi; "Do you really think you should make her study? I mean, from the way she acted last night something really bad must have happened."
"Studying will keep her mind off whatever has her depressed. Besides, an education is the most important thing in a child's life. It molds their future," Chichi explained.
"Whatever you say, honey."
Just then they heard a knock on the door. " Now, I wonder who that could be," Chichi said.
She walked to the door and opened it to find a short bald man on the threshold.
"Why, hello Krillin. How are you?" Chichi greeted.
"Fine thank you. I just came to see Goku," He peered behind Chichi, "Hey Goku. What's shakin'?"
"Hi Krillin!"
Krillin stepped into the house and looked up at Goku, " Hey I got bored and decided to come hang out. And I'm still wondering why your acting so calm when we're going to go up against Cell in two days!"
"That's for me to know," Goku said with a big goofy grin on his face.
"Goku..I just don't get you," Krillin said with a mock frown, " Oh yeah . I almost forgot. Bulma wants to have a party tonight. Ya know since we're not so sure we can beat Cell she wants us all to get together you know."
"Oh, that sounds nice," Chichi said.
----------Later that day at the mall-----------
" How about this one,Hotaru? It will be nice for the party tonight," Chichi said holding up a sky blue summer dress, " Oh and look. You can wear this cute little straw hat with it!"
Chichi ran around the store with lightning speed babbling about this and that. Hotaru sweat dropped. By the time they left the mall they had bought several pairs of jeans, shirts, a couple summer dresses, socks, undergarments and of course several pairs of shoes.
" You'll get to meet all of our friends. And we'll have so much fun! And you have new clothes to wear and-" Chichi was cut off when she noticed that Hotaru didn't seem very happy.
"If you don't like the clothes we can take them back."
"No,no. It's not that. I just- never mind. Let's go home and get ready," Hotaru said forcing a smile.
As soon as they got home Hotaru took her new clothes to her room and decided to wear her blue summer dress, a cute straw hat and a pair of sandle platforms. She looked in the mirror and liked what she saw. Chichi has good taste, she thought.
"Hotaru?! Are you ready yet?" She heard Chichi call.
"I'm coming!"
She walked down the hall and entered the living room and saw that everyone was ready to go.
" So, how are we going to get there if you guys don't have a car?" She wondered.
" Goku and Gohan are going to fly us," Chichi explained.
" F-fly? You guys can fly? Cool!" Hotaru exclaimed.
" Well, let's go." Goku said.
Chichi walked to Goku and put her arms around his neck and he put his arms around her waist. Hotaru and Gohan did the same. They took off.
As soon as they were airborn Hotaru said excitedly, " Wow. We're so high! This is awesome!"
Chichi was glad that Hotaru was happy.
