Thank you loyal fans

Thank you loyal fans! Oh boy was that fun! I went to The WORLD CON!!! They had TONS of anime! Woo hoo! Yea! But can you believe it? They had neither Dbz nor Outlaw star! They did however, have Ranma ½, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, (to name a few…) and so it made up for not having Dbz or Ols.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything dbz related except for a few posters I bought that now reside on my walls. K? O! And a calendar.

Last time on "TNKOTB"

"So, what do you want to do now?"

~~~:*:~~~

"OOH! Can we go swimming again?"

"But we just took off our suits!" Trunks said, too lazy to change again.

"Hmmmmm… I got it! Can you please teach me how to fly?!? PLEASE?!?"

Trunks rolled his eyes then replied, "Fine, but we can't go outside because of all the snow so we'll have to use the regular training room. Tousan's in the gravity room."

"YAHOO! I get to fly! I get to fly! I get to fly!" she said while jumping up and down. (A/N: its like the training room all over again.)

"Ok, come on," he said while grabbing her arm and dragging her to the hallways, forcing her to stop jumping. When they reached the training room, they noticed the light was on. They slowly opened the door to reveal Vegeta doing pushups with Bra on his back.

"Why are you here?" Vegeta said while standing up.

"Monkey-boy's gonna teach me how to fly!" Keiqo said excitedly.

"Really? Well, you better not get in my way." Vegeta said while going back to doing pushups with Bra on his back.

"I thought your tousan was in the gravity room," Keiqo whispered to Trunks as they were walking to the far side of the room.

"He probably broke it again," Trunks whispered back.

"I heard that!" Vegeta yelled from the other side of the room. Trunks muttered something else while still walking then stopped.

"Ok! First, do you know what ki is?" Trunks asked turning to face her.

"Not really. Isn't it sorta like power?" she said while scratching her head.

"Yes. This is ki," he said making a ball of it in his hand.

"Ooooooooh," she said while extending her hand to touch it. Before she could, Trunks let it dissipate.

Keiqo frowned but continued to listen. "So, when am I gonna learn to fly?" she asked impatiently.

"I was getting to that. Ok, try to raise your power level." He said finally finishing explaining.

"Like this?" she said while clenching her fists.

Trunks noticed an increase in her power level and nodded his head telling her to continue. Vegeta also noticed the increase and stopped his training for a moment to look over. If we taught her how to use ki, Cue ball and all the other pathetic human weaklings would be no match for her. YEA! I think the brat and I can make a fighter out of her yet! (A/N: in case you're wondering, Cue ball is Krillen)

"How'm I doing?" she said still trying to power up.

"Great! Ok, you can stop now! Ok, now that you know how to gather it, try to form a ball of it in your hand." Trunks said.

Keiqo held her hand out in the same position Trunks had his and closed her eyes. When she opened them a few moments later her hand was still empty.

"You have to summon it. It doesn't just come to your hand by itself." He said trying to explain it as much as he could.

So she tried it again. And again. And again. She finally stopped trying and decided to put her hand to better use. She made a fist and punched the wall. Everyone looked over to where the noise was and Keiqo just shrugged. "It helps let go of frustration." She said plainly.

"Uhh, well, it took me a while to get that whole ki energy thingie in my hand too," Trunks said trying to get back on subject. "Anyway, now I'm going to teach you how to fly. It's a little bit easier but you still need a lot of concentration. Ok! Now remember how you raised your power level? Raise it again a little bit and try to force it behind you. Like this," he said while starting to levitate. She noticed a luminescence around his whole body and a sort of tail by his feet.

She remembered watching this old cartoon on her uncle's old-fashioned television called superman. She remembered that he put his hands out in front of him and then lifted off the ground and flew off. Keiqo decided she was going to try that and put her hands out in front of her and tried jumping really high. Of course she didn't get airborne but atleast cats always land on their feet so she didn't get a face plant either.

When she looked up, she saw Trunks laughing silently and Vegeta sitting on the other side of the room staring at them. She got up all the way and walked over to Trunks who was still laughing. She started at him for a long while and then brought her tail so that it was around his neck. "Is there something you find funny Monkey-Boy?" she said through clenched teeth.

"No," he said, barely audible.

"Good!" she said as she released his neck and walked away. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to try again." She said stopping. All of a sudden a pair of hands gripped her waist and lifted her into the air. Before she knew it she was atleast 20 feet up.

"Tousan! What are you doing?" Trunks screamed from down below.

"Trust me!" he said while dropping her. Keiqo screamed as she fell to the ground. Even though she fell from high up, she still hit the ground with very little noise and then looked at Vegeta who was now landing in front of her. "Oops. I'm so clumsy" he said smirking.

"I'm going to KILL YOU!!" she said lunging at Vegeta. He jumped in the air and flew away. Keiqo quickly jumped in the air and followed him.

"Keiqo! You're flying!" She heard Trunks scream below breaking her concentration. She plummeted to the ground once again. This time, instead of hitting the ground, Trunks caught her in mid-air, smiling. "Now all we have to do is get tousan to make you mad every time you want to fly," he said laughing.

They reached the ground and he put her down. Keiqo jumped up and down excitedly screaming while Trunks was trying to calm her down.

Finally she stopped jumping and screaming enough to hear Trunks saying "be quiet" and "you're gonna get us kicked outta here."

After she stopped, Trunks looked at her and said, crossing his arms, "Do you even remember how you did it?"

She looked up at him in astonishment and shook her head no. She then sighed and looked down at her feet. She looked up again with a half smile on her face and said, "If your tousan comes and tries that again, beat him up for me will ya?"

Trunks laughed and replied, "Sure thing."

"Ok, now how did I do this again?" she said, talking to herself. She began concentrating on getting herself in the air and eventually she did. She practiced for a while on her landings, dives, and turns.

While she was in the middle of doing a flip, her watch started beeping. She landed next to Trunks and said, "Hey Trunks, can I use your phone? Tousan told me to call around now so I can arrange coming home and stuff." She said.

"Uh, Sure, the phone is in the kitchen. I can show you the way unless you think you can get there without getting lost." He said beginning to laugh.

"Augh! Will that ever get old?" she said fuming. "Now will you please lead me to the kitchen." She grumbled.

Trunks laughed then started towards the kitchen with Keiqo close behind. They went through a bunch of hallways and finally reached the kitchen. Keiqo picked up the phone and dialed her number.

"Urg! Busy!" She said slamming the phone down on the hook. "Laika's probably talking to her stupid friends online again. Ahh, the life of a 12-year-old girl. 'Whatever' 'No Way' and 'Totally' are the three main words of their vocabulary. The other 2 million or so just get in the way." She mumbled under her breath while going to pick up the cat again and sit down.

"LAIKA! Your sister has to call! She can't when you're using the phone! Hang up NOW!" screamed Jim from downstairs.

"I don't see why we just couldn't get another line!" Keiqo's little sister retorted.

Just then, Bra ran into the kitchen where Trunks and Keiqo were just about to start eating. "Keiqo! Can I do your makeup!?!"

"Uhh, no, that's okay! But I bet Trunks would be fine with it!" she said smiling evilly at Trunks.

Before he could argue, Trunks was dragged out of his chair and was being forced to follow his little sister to his room. Keiqo decided she did not want to miss this so she quickly followed.

"Ok Niisan! I'll do your makeup and Keiqo can paint your nails!" she exclaimed getting out her makeup kit and her dozens of differently colored nail polishes. They then proceeded to sit down on the floor Indian style.

"I think that monkey-boy would look good in either a Dark Purple or Navy blue. What do you think?" she said holding the bottles to his hands.

"PURPLE!" she screamed after a few seconds of pondering.

"Ok! I'll start on Trunks' nails while you work on his face. Let's go!" she said opening the bottle of nail polish.

After she was done with his first hand, she raised it up so she could get a better look. "If only Goten were here. Man, he would laugh so hard…" she said to herself, shifting his hand so the light would hit it at different angles.

"Goten? That reminds me, what did he do to you earlier in the hall today?" Trunks asked looking at his left hand that Keiqo had finished.

Keiqo stopped what she was doing for a minute, and then started back up again while saying, "I'd rather not say. But I will say that the next time I see him I'm going to…" she trailed off mumbling inaudible words.

"Come on! We're all adult here!" he said, and then focused his eyes on his sister who was now applying blush. "Well…"

She then unwrapped her tail and set it on Trunks' foot. Exactly she thought to Trunks.

Aww! Come on! I won't laugh… he thought back.

Do you really want to know? She asked reluctantly.

YES! He shouted mentally.

*Sigh* He snapped my bra she thought in a whisper.

Vegeta was in the middle of an argument with Bulma about why she had to fix the gravity room again, when he heard laughter, a scream then an "OOWWWWW!" They both stopped their argument for a moment then Vegeta said, "Oh Yea! I forgot to tell you. I heard the brats saying they were going to do Trunks makeup."

Bulma's face lit up. "I'll go get the camera," she said while running down to her room.

"OWW! Why'd you hit me so hard?" Trunks said rubbing his head.

"You said you wouldn't laugh. You lied." She said picking up his right hand. Bra started back in on his eye shadow.

"Hey Cat! Come here for a second." Vegeta said knocking on the door. Keiqo got up and told Trunks not to move his hands. When she reached the door, she stepped out and saw Vegeta with Bulma holding a camera. "When you guys are done putting on the brat's makeup, tell him to come out here for a second. Make some excuse up. I don't care. We have to get some kind of blackmail on him so we can get him back. Ok?" Vegeta looked normal, but Bulma looked like she was about to explode because she was holding so many laughs in.

Keiqo entered the room again and received stares from Trunks and Bra. "What?" She sat back down in front of Trunks and continued to paint his nails while they were still staring at her. "WHAT?"

"What did tousan want to talk to you about?" asked Trunks, still staring at her.

"Uhh… If I was still mad at him for dropping me…yea…" she said, not trying to act suspicious.

"Whatever" Trunks said then sighed and began flipping through Bra's coloring book.

"I'm Done!" Bra exclaimed looking at her brother.

"I'll be done as soon as I'm done with this nail…DONE! Ok now Trunks. Let me see." She said turning his face. "Aww, trunksie-wunksie looks o so cyooote!"

"Don't rub it in" he said frowning.

"Ok ok! Let's get you to the bathroom so you can clean up." She said helping him stand up and leading him to Bra's door. As soon as she opened the door, a brilliant flash lit up the hallway.

"Payback" Vegeta said while Bulma smiled, holding the camera.

Trunks was about to scream when Keiqo said, "OOH! One for me?" she pleaded.

Bulma nodded her head then said, "Tell me when you're ready."

Keiqo got behind Trunks then put her head on his shoulder and held up his hands to show his nail polish. "Smile! Please Trunks? This is going on my wall if you don't" Trunks immediately smiled, while Keiqo grinned and looked at the camera. Bulma took the picture and the headed back to her room to put the camera in a place Trunks would never find it. "Instead of my wall, it's going on my dresser," She called after Trunks who was running down the hall to the nearest bathroom before any more pictures could be taken.

She looked to Vegeta who was still not showing much emotion, but she could tell he was laughing like crazy on the inside. "Well, that was fun."

"Uh oh! Can I use your phone?" Keiqo asked.

"You think I would care, Cat?" Vegeta said walking away. "Do what you want."

"Well, that wasn't very nice," Keiqo said to Bra who was standing next to her. "Can you show me where the kitchen is again?" she said while putting her on her shoulders.

After they reached the kitchen, Keiqo picked up the phone and dialed her number.

"Hello? KEIQO! I told you to call! Oh? Is that so? Well, I'll have a talk with her later, but do you need to be picked up? No. Why not? Have you seen it outside? Hello? HELLO?" Jim stared at the phone for a while before yelling down the stairs, "Uhh, Everyone? The phone is dead. So I hope you don't have any important calls you need to make."

"But I needed to talk to Claire! And then Hannah!! We have to plan what we're gonna wear tomorrow!! It's not FAIR! " Laika said while stomping her foot and stomping the rest of the way to her room. (A/N: yes, unfortunately, that's how I was when I was 12. Sad isn't it?)

"The phone just went dead," Keiqo said while hanging the phone up. She walked through the kitchen to the living room and looked out the window. "HOLY CRACK! Bra! Have you seen it outside? It must be 2 feet at least!" she screamed seeing all the snow.

"And it's still coming!" she yelled. "TOUSAN! KAASAN! NIISAN! LOOK OUTSIDE! Woo hoo! Woo hoo! Snow! Snow!" she said doing the fists in a circle thingie.

Trunks came around the corner and said, "What did you s… OH MY GOSH!! Geez! Goku wasn't kidding when he said it was coming down hard."

"By the way, Niisan, the phone is dead." Bra said nonchalantly.

"WHAT!?! Aww man! How am I gonna call Goten?" *sigh* "Oh well! I can live with out talking to him for a while." Trunks said sighing.

"So, what do you want to do now Monkey-Boy?" Keiqo asked.

"We train, Cat" Vegeta said from behind startling them both.

"Uhh, I thought the Gravity machine was broken tousan" Trunks said.

"It's amazing what your mother can do if she actually stops whining and works," he said stepping over to the Kitchen. "Bring this," he said pointing at the cabinet full of food. Trunks and Keiqo shrugged their shoulders and took most of the food out of the cabinet and some of the food capsules and followed Vegeta to the gravity room.

Once there, Keiqo and Trunks put the food down on a table outside the doors leading to the chamber. "Eat later" he mumbled then pushed a few buttons and entered through the doorway. "Cat, you and I go first. Show us what you know. I'll set it on normal gravity. Stretch for a while, then we begin fighting when I say so."

Keiqo began by sitting down doing the splits and leaning over till her chin touched the ground. She then bent over backward to stretch her back and then ran her arms in circles for a while.

A few minutes later, Vegeta said to begin. Vegeta began by looking Keiqo directly in the eye, waiting for him to make the first move. After a few seconds, Keiqo lunged at him with his fist out. Vegeta jumped up and out of the way. It's just too easy… She thought to herself. She immediately shot up and landed a punch on Vegeta's chin. Vegeta retaliated by blurring right before she punched him again and kicked her in the back. Keiqo fell to the ground, not quite used to flying and fighting at the same time yet. She got up just in time to see Vegeta's fist careening toward where she used to be.

"YOU THINK… YOU CAN BE… A LITTLE… EASIER ON ME?!?" She screamed through pants.

"Uhh…maybe a little" he said while lunging at her again. Keiqo just glared and blocked most of the punches he sent out. "Ooh, that's gonna leave a nice little bruise," he said just to taunt her.

"Shut up" she said backing away enough so she could fly up and perhaps get away for a second.

As soon as she was about five feet off the ground, she felt a hand on her ankle. "Ah ah ahhh" he said while waving his finger on his free hand. He wasn't going to let go willingly, so she decided to make him. She unwrapped her tail and pulled on Vegeta's hair while kicking him in the face with her free foot. This stunned him for a long enough time to let her get away.

She took the rest of Trunks' food and shoved some of it in her mouth. She chewed about 3 times then swallowed and did the same to the rest.

"Hey! That was mine!" Trunks yelled.

"I need it for strength!" she said flexing her arm muscle. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Vegeta heading straight for her so she decided to hightail it outta there. "See-Ya!" Keiqo yelled while she sped off in the opposite direction Vegeta was coming from. Trunks grumbled then went over to the door to get some more food to make up for what Keiqo had just devoured.

Keiqo landed about thirty feet away from where Trunks had been and waited for Vegeta. Vegeta landed about 6 feet away and said, "I thought I said to eat later."

"You did. That was later wasn't it? Besides, you want an opponent that's at least a little bit of a challenge don't you?" she said while shrugging her shoulders.

This time, Vegeta made the first move, trying a kick sweep at her legs to knock her down. It didn't work because she jumped up like he anticipated and shot a very light ki blast at her, not intending to hurt her, but to distract her enough so he could fly above her undetected. It worked so he took his fists together and brought them down on her back.

She landed on the ground, still on her feet, but with so much force that it made a slight dent in the floor.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!" she screamed at him coughing a little.

"A fair fight is the one you win" he said matter-a-factly.

"Tousan! We're not trying to KILL HER!!" Trunks screamed landing in front of him.

Vegeta sighed and said, "Well how is she going to learn then?"

"Well, she's not going to learn anything if she just gets beat up! ESPECIALLY if she's DEAD!" Trunks screamed back.

"Actually, I'm fine, I just need some food and I'll be fine. Really!" she said while getting up. A few steps later she lost her balance and wobbled a bit before saying, "Well, maybe I need to rest just a little bit."

Trunks sighed and supported her with his shoulder while they walked to the side where Trunks' food was. "Are you okay now?" he asked handing her some food, which she quickly shoved in her mouth.

"Yea. I'll be fine. Now go train with your tousan. He didn't use up much energy while fighting with me. Oh well! I'll just practice stuff after I'm done eating." Trunks was about to say something when she said, "yes, I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Ok, but you better save some of that for me" he said pointing to the food.

"I'll try," she said rolling her eyes. She watched Trunks fly away to where his father was and began to fight without even touching the ground. She watched them fight for about another fifteen minutes before turning around again. "Time for a quick catnap!" she said to herself while taking off the little ear-cuff she was wearing and leaning back against the wall.
