Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Lauren but she just stood there grinning slightly Victoria Baskerville Victoria Baskerville 8 936 2001-10-10T02:42:00Z 2001-11-08T03:06:00Z 4 2598 14811 123 29 18188 9.2720

Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Lauren but she just stood there grinning slightly.  Vegeta tightened his right fist cracking it and gently met his hand to meet the princesses.  Instantly, he felt a shock of her energy zapping through him.  He removed his hand from hers and stood back.  Lauren held her hand close to her.

"What?  What did I do?"  Vegeta grinned.

"What was that all about huh?  Do you think you can just walk up to a complete stranger and show him your power?  That's not very lady like and it's definitely rude.  You have manors.  How about using them."  Lauren frowned and crossed her arms.

"I have no idea on what you are talking about!  I never showed you anything!  I just shook your hand."  Vegeta said nothing for a while.  He just stood there looking at her.

"For some strange reason I believe you.  But if I ever find out that you did shock me you will never live to shock someone else got it?"  With that, her turned around and walked to a near by rock and sat down.  Lauren turned to face Gohan who stood a couple feet away.  She walked over to him and placed her and out for him to shake.

"Gohan, shake my hand."  Gohan gave her a funny look but he shook it.  He felt the strange feeling that Vegeta had experienced and that he had felt when they first met.

"What is that?  Why is it that when ever I touch you I fell a strange energy?"  Lauren blushed for a moment and smiled.

"You fell it to?  I'm not trying to do anything but, I guess I have this energy that people feel whenever they touch me …" Gohan shrugged and they bother walked off to where Goku was.

"Gohan, Lauren, Vegeta and I have come up with a training plan.  For one day Vegeta and myself will be training at the Chamber of Spirit and Time.  After we have finished our training in there you guys will go in for one year.  After that, we will train together for one year in this world.  This will give you two a chance to train extra hard.  Gohan, you must teach Lauren everything you know as fast as you can so then you can move on to teach her how to control her power.  From then on we will just train to increase our power levels to the highest we can in the remainder of the time before we travel to Nea.  Any questions you two?"  Lauren smiled and shook her head.  Gohan on the other side spoke up.

"Dad, you want me to teach Lauren everything I know?  But isn't that a lot?  I mean, I don't mean to brag but that's years and years of hard work.  You want us to do this in less then two years?  Plus can Lauren really learn how to use energy beams and that spiffy stuff?"  Lauren softly slapped Gohan's arm.

"I can learn…  I'm not stupid."  Goku just laughed.

"Gohan, Lauren has the ability to do everything we can.  She just has to find her power.  Take the advantage of the one-day while I'm gone to help her find her power and energy inside her.  Ok?" 

"Yup, no problem dad."  Goku nodded.

"Aright then, we're off!  See you in a day!"  Gohan and Lauren waved as Goku and Vegeta headed towards Kami's Place.  

"Ok Lauren, its just you and me for the next day ok?  Good.  Now we need to find your power the lies sleeping inside you.  Uh, I've never done this before so I really can't estimate on how long this might take.  However since you were obviously born to fight, this shouldn't take too long.  So, uh find a rock, sit down and get comfy!  You can't do this when you're all tense and not relaxed.  Now this takes major concentration got it?  Ok lest get started.  Um, do you want me to show you first?"  Lauren shook her head.

"Nah, I really think this is going to be a lot easier then you make it sound.  Really, don't treat me like I'm a girl and definitely don't treat me like a princess.  This isn't my first time doing martial arts before…"Gohan blushed.  He felt bad that he was treating Lauren like a baby.  He should have known that she has done it before.

"Sorry Lauren, I'm really not good at teaching.  Well I really wouldn't know if I were bad or not…I have never taught before!  But ok.  From now on, I'm not going to treat you like a baby.  But I wont try and kill you either.  Fair?"  Lauren smiled

"Gohan, your so cute…" Gohan blushed again but redder then ever.  'No one has ever called me cute before…  Excepted for my mom…'

"Ok, so lets see your power Lauren.  Just bring it out."  Lauren looked at the ground and narrowed her eyes.  She spread her fingers on her right hand out while feeling the pull of energy inside of her.  She tightly closed her eyes as a ball of energy appeared on the face of the hand.  She opened her eyes and held her hand out to Gohan.

"There you go!  That wasn't so hard."  Gohan looked at the ball of energy in her hand and smiled.

"Very good.  Now, see that rock over there?  Try and blow it up with that ball of energy."  Lauren looked at Gohan and frowned.

"How do I do that?"  Gohan brought up a ball of energy on his hand and placed his hand in the rocks direction.  He flicked his palm up so it was facing the rock.  He then let the ball of energy go and it flew at the rock so fast Lauren could barley follow it.  Gohan looked at Lauren and gestured to her that it was her turn.  She held her hand up to the rock and tried to move that ball of energy towards it but it wouldn't movie.  "Gohan, it's not working.  How do I get it to move?" 

"Just use your energy.  Use your force.  Lauren nodded and looked at the rock.

"Your going down you stupid rock!  She focused all hey energy into her hand and she sent her ball of energy flying 20 feet above rock.  In the force she fell back a couple of feet.  Gohan rushed over to her

"Lauren!  That was great!  Wow, you put a lot of energy in that, probably explaining why you flew back.  Ok for your first try at that, that was very good.  But if you were fighting that would have only given you a bad reputation.  So, what we have to work on is aim and control.  But, lets skip that for now and move on to something more exciting.  When fighting… Uh, Lauren are you ok?"  Lauren was lying on the ground and her mouth was wide open and her eyes were black spinning spirals.  She let out a groan to let Gohan know that she wasn't dead.  She finally sat up and rubbed her eyes.  She blinked and focused her attention to Gohan.  "…Anyways, when fighting you need to sense energy, and peoples ki levels.  So first, tell me if you can sense anything right now."  Lauren shook her head.  "Good.  How about now?"  Gohan powered up slightly.  Lauren's eyes widened a bit.  "You fell that don't you?  You have a good sense.  Now.  How about sensing energy balls?  Ok, close your eyes.  I'm going move somewhere and then point to where I'm standing ok?  But no peeking!"  Lauren nodded and closed her eyes.  Gohan holding an energy ball moved to the left of Lauren.  A moment passed and she was pointing at him.  "Very good."  Gohan standing behind Lauren waited while she slowly moved her hand to point at him.  "You're good, but now try this!"  He walked around to face Lauren.  He took a few steps back so he wasn't too close.  Out of nowhere he threw the ball of energy at her.  She quickly reacted and jumped up into the air.  She opened her eyes and looked down at Gohan.

"Hey!  What was that for?  Why did you throw it at me?"  Gohan grinned and crossed his arms.

"Well, do you think when your fighting your opponent will just sit there and do nothing?  Welcome to training Lauren!  You're going to have to get your hands dirty!"  Lauren flew to the ground.

"Your right, so what next?"  Well this is almost the same thing.  I'm going to throw a ball of energy somewhere and your going to have to find it.  Believe me, its harder then you think."  Lauren nodded and got ready.  "Oh, and I'm going to time you as well."  Lauren sighed.

"Fine…" Gohan got his watch ready.

"Alright ready?"  Gohan threw an energy ball into the air.  Lauren looked up and watched it sit there vibrating.  Then it took off.  Gohan moved the ball around with the movements of his hand.  "Ok, I think it's far enough away.  Now use your sense to find it ok?  Once you do I want you to put all your energy into throwing the ball as hard as you can back at me ok?  Lauren nodded and took off.  She flew as fast as she could towards the direction the ball flew.  'Man, I don't feel a thing.  Either I'm not concentrating hard enough or Gohan has one strong arm!  I'll just have to fly around a bit…" Lauren flew around for a few minutes and then saw something.  But it wasn't the ball of energy.  It seemed to be a group of people flying towards her.  She stopped and waited for them to come to her.  They stopped in front of her then one of them came up to her.  The guy seemed to be the same age as her but twice the size. 

"What do you think your doing her little girl?"  Lauren flew back a foot.  'These guys look like trouble.  I better keep my guard up.'

"I'm not doing anything to offend you so leave me alone."  The big guy laughed and turned to a guy with a bandana and sunglasses.

"Hey boss!  She wants us to leave her alone!  Should I kill her now o leave her to you."  The boy flew up next to Lauren.  He looked at he then quickly covered his hands over his eyes.

"No, we should definitely let her go.  She didn't do anything to us."

"But…"Lauren grew angry and took over the conversation.

"Listen.  I don't care who the hell you guys are but don't you just stand in font of me and discuss my fait."  The big guy turned to her and punched her hard in the face.

"Shut up bitch."  The leader of the gang shoved the big guy away.

"What do you think your doing?"  Lauren looked up and wiped the blood coming down her chin away.

"What do you think your doing?  Alright, you're asking for it!"  Lauren went up to the big guy and bunched him hard in the face and threw him down on the ground.  Then she turned to face the leader and punched him hard in the stomach and then flipped him around and knocked him down to the ground hitting his back.  All the other members flew down to their leaders side.  One of the guys looked up at Lauren on the verge of tears.

"You, you killed him!"  Lauren crossed her arms and said nothing.  The whole gage flew up at her ready to attack.  Got ready to attack all of them.  The all came at her a once but there were way to many for her to handle.  When they were about to attack she flew up fast and they followed, this time the made a circle surrounding her.  They all attack at once again but when they were about to hit Lauren she flew up and they all crashed into each other.  While all together Lauren brought up as much energy as she could and whipped it at them.  The energy attach hit them head on and they all fell to the ground dead.  Lauren flew down and checked all of them to make sure they were all dead.  She went up to one guy who looked like that same size as her looked at him.  'Man, it hard fighting in a skirt, I need new clothes.  This guy looks to be my size, and he's got good taste in style.'  So Lauren took of the guy pants and shirt.  She looked at the baggy guy style pants and put them on.  She looked at the Quicksilver shirt and identified it was a skate boarding shirt.  She put that on as well.  She even took his Vans.  So she left the guy with his under shirt, boxers and shoeless.  She walked over to the leader and sat down beside him.

"Well, now I feel bad about killing you.  You didn't want to hurt and I still killed you.  Oh well, nice shades!  I think I'll have them!"  So Lauren removed the glasses.  'Eh?  His eyes are still open!  How gross.  But boy, is he ever hot!'  Lauren looked at him for a while then noticed something strange.  'He has the same eyes as me, how weird…only Nea's have this shade of blue eyes.  And he cant be a Nea….' Lauren laughed to herself a bit and then realized the possibility that he could be Nea.  'Uh oh, if he is one I'm in major trouble.'  Lauren thought about how he didn't want to harm her and how nice he was trying to be.  'I wonder why he didn't want to get close to me.  Ah, damn it!  Now I get it!  He is a Nea!  He knew who I was and was just being polite.  How could I have not seen that?  And he covered his eyes so I wouldn't find out who he was.  And now I just went and killed him.  I have to do something.  There has got to be away I can heal him…' Lauren thought hard but the more she thought, the more she new she couldn't do anything.  She was so scared.  Lauren held her head in her hands and just sat there over the boy crying.  She didn't want to move, she just wanted to sit with the boy she killed and cry. 

Gohan was still waiting for her to return was getting worried.  'She has been gone too long.  I hope she's ok.'  Gohan finally decided to go out and look for her.  Flying, a light caught his eye.  He flew down only to see Lauren; lying over a boy.  Gohan ran behind a rock so she wouldn't see him.  'Lauren, how…?"

As her tears rolled down her cheeks a light seemed to form around them.  It was like she was crying drops of rain that had fallen from the sun that held its light.  Suddenly, she held her head up and closed her eyes.  In the middle of her forehead a blinding light shot up and consumed the area they were all in with its power.  Gohan ducked and held his hand over his eyes for protection.  She floated up above the ground and disappeared in the light.  A great wind picked up and swirled the sand around where she was.  Three greater flashes of light occurred then a powerful blast of energy ended all happening around them.  As the light grew dim and the sand cleared a different looking girl hovered in Laurens place.  She had long beautiful golden hair and reached to the lower parts of her back and eyes that shone with a golden sparkle that you could never take your eye off of.  Her milky skin glowed, and her perfectly toned legs came out under a light blue silk dress that came over one shoulder and fit snug against her ideal body finishing unevenly above her knees.  But the one thing that made her special were the angel wings that stretched out from her back.  As Gohan removed his arm he saw that it was Lauren there, in the sky as a living angel.  He couldn't take his eyes off her she was so beautiful.  She floated down to the ground and her soft feet gently made contact with the ground.  She knelt over the boy and brushed some of his hair off his face.  She closed her eyes and moved slowly toward him.  Gohan's hands began to shake and tears started to form in his eyes as he watched Laurens lips meet the boys.  As she did so it was like he awoke from a bad dream.  He sat strait up and Lauren fell back slightly.  The boy looked at Lauren and covered his eyes again.  Gohan gritting his teeth tuned around and flew away back to there camp.  Lauren noticing him turned around and watched him.  She turned back to face the boy who still coved his eyes.

"It's alright, I know who you are.  Tell me your name."  The boy removed his hand and looked at Lauren.  He gulped and lowered his head and brought it back up again.

"My name is Miiko princess Lauren."  Lauren smiled and nodded.

"Nice to meet you Miiko.  I hope you don't mind but I have a question to ask you.  Why are you on earth?  You should still be on Nea."

"I know princess, but I came back to tell you that Nea is in danger!"

"I know it is, I can find these things out by myself.  But I thank you for coming her to tell me this.  So, what are you going to do now?  I killed your gang so do you have a place to go?"  Miiko nodded.

"Yes, I do."

"Good.  Well I have to get going.  I'll see you again sometime ok?  Bye!"  Lauren tuned and floated up above the ground and flew away.  Her angel wings carried her faster then her without them.  As she flew sparkles fell from her wings that made a beautiful trail behind her.  As she was closing in to where the camp was she transformed back to her normal self.  She landed on the ground and walked over to where Gohan was lying down and looking at the setting sun.

"Gohan?"  Gohan stood up and whipped a tear away from his eye.

"Lauren I…had no idea you had a boyfriend."  Lauren giggled.

"Boyfriend?  You mean him??  Miiko?  Gohan it's a long story…"

"…So, then I healed him and came back here."  Gohan blushed.  'How could I have been so stupid…?'

"Lauren I'm sorry, it's just that…" Lauren walked over to him and shushed him.  She took his hands and put them around her waist.  She took her hands and wrapped them around his neck and looked into his eyes. 

"Your so cute…" Lauren closed her eyes as so did Gohan.  She slowly pressed her lips against his and Gohan held her even closer.  She slipped her tong into his mouth massaged his.  Lauren moved slowly away and looked at the sky.

"Beautiful isn't it?"  She moved her hand from Gohan's neck and moved them to his hands.  She lifted them up off of her waist and held them by her side.  They just stood there together and watched the sun go down and after they went to sleep.  Gohan found a big rock with a hole in it and decided to sleep there.  Lauren didn't feel like sleeping.  She still wanted to train.  She remembered that she forgot to bring back that energy ball so after Gohan fell asleep she went out to look for it.  After a while of looking she finally found it.  She took it and brought it back to camp.  She went and sat on top of the tallest rock in the area that looked of there camp.  She set the energy ball at the very end so it made a dim light of the area.  Feeling a bit tiered she lay back and gazed up at the stars.  As she lay there she thought about Gohan and everything that had happened that day.  'Tomorrow is going to be a big day as well.  Gohan and I will be fighting in the Chamber of Spirit and Time.  I wonder what it's going to be like…Training for year in one day sounds pretty impossible but, anything can happen…' She closed her eyes and thought about Gohan again and with him in her mind she peacefully fell asleep.
