*Peeks carefully over computer monitor* Ummm.... Hello? *Ducks down as rotten tomatoes come pelting at her* Ewwwww! I HATE tomatoes!!!! *Looks at tomato-covered computer* Oh man! Now my mom's goin' to kill me! *Hides again as more tomatoes come flying at her* Hey hey HEY!!! It's not my fault that I haven't been able to get another chapter out sooner!!! My monitor broke, then when we finally got a new one, FF.N was going screwy!
During the wait for the site to be fixed, I started out over 8 different versions of this chapter, and I went and updated the other 3 chapters. The funny thing is, is that I can't get the beginning of this fic done, while I had already planned out the middle and I've had the end planned out before I even got the slightest idea for chapter one! I've even got the first 5 or so chapters of a sequel planned out (it's gonna be great if I can ever get this fic done first. ^_^*)! All I need is to plan the beginning, type the rest, and figure out who the heck the major bad guy is.
I've done a lot, ne minna-san? ^_^ ;;

I would like to point out that I have nothing against Piccle-chan. I just like to annoy my friends and family. That's how I show affection.

Well... on with the fic!

Annoying Announcer Guy:

Over the next couple of months, Ami and Gohan tried as hard as they could to survive. Through their hard and vigorous training, they defeated deadly dinosaurs, cascaded down cruel-looking cliffs, and survived strenuous sessions of becoming as powerful as they could before their "real training" began.




Omnipotent Author-Type Person:

Hey you! Get outta my fic!!! You're annoying! If you stay, then I'll get no reviews!!


Annoying Announcer Guy:

All right! All right I'm going! But heed my words, you're going to get sued! I'll call my lawyers!!! It's in my contracts that I be in every thing remotely related to the DBZ excluding the merchandise commercials!!!


Omnipotent Author-Type Person (AKA Ami-chan):

HEEEELLLLLOOOOO!!!!!! This is a fanfic!!! Whatever I say GOES!!! My way or the highway! NOW GET OUT!

*Annoying Announcer Guy leaves* Now here we go!

Let's see.... Oh yeah!

Ami and Gohan had spent many months doing their survival training. As the months went by their strength, speed, and stamina increased tremendously. The time came when Gohan wanted to go home. Ami wished him luck and continued on her training. Around a week went by before Gohan came back accompanied by the lovable Pickle-chan. ^_^


~*~
Ami stood, glaring at the Namek as they finished sparring for the day. Ami had bruises on her arms and legs, cuts all over, and a split lip. She would have had a fractured bone, but her newfound Saiya-jin heritage stopped that from happening. Ami's fighting gi that Piccolo made her was ripped; one sleeve was hanging by a thread.
Piccolo looked at her and did the magic-thing (AN: does anyone know what it's called? ^_^*) and made her clothes as good as new.
The clothes he gave her after the Oozaru incident were modeled after Goku's gi, but it was sapphire blue colored with a lavender shirt under. Her boots, belt, and headband were silver. Piccolo didn't give her a sword as her weapon. Instead, her bandanna was like Ryoga's from Ranma ½. There was a never-ending source of bandannas. Sometimes, they worked like boomerangs while other times they were daggers. She still got the shield, though.
Gohan came up. His sparring session was before Ami's, and Piccolo had already given him new clothes.
"Hey Ami! That was so cool, the way you did the sweeping kick to Piccolo-san!" Gohan's face sported one of his classic, kawaii Son smiles.
Ami grinned, "Thanks. The way you gave the Pickle that haymaker to the jaw was classic!"
Gohan got a confused look on his face before smiling again, "Oh right! A haymaker is a hard punch, right?
"Mmmm yeah," Ami nodded. Over the months her attitude's gone down considerably, having to be with a person who really is 4, she couldn't cuss. She cut a glance at Piccolo who was drinking water from flask. She leaned in near Gohan's ear and spoke as quietly as she could, "You wanna double-team him?'
A grin lit up on Gohan's face as he nodded.
With a yell, they both charged.
~*~

As the date of the Saiya-jin's arrival neared, their training intensified. Piccolo showed no mercy as he literally beat the lessons into them. The harder they trained, the better they became. Piccolo had just finished teaching them about making and dodging ki-blasts at the same time by firing the bright blasts rapidly at them and wouldn't let them get near enough to punch him.
Gohan had come up with his Masenko-Ha technique while Ami used one that she dubbed the Shi Shi Hokodan. She had gotten her technique by modeling it after the one Ryoga uses on Ranma ½. The only similarities were its appearance and its power. She didn't use depression to fuel it, though. It was fueled like any other blast in the DBZ Dimension. She was already working on making a Moko Takabisha, and at night after training, she'd sit at the fire until it goes out trying to learn the Kachu Tenshin Amagurikin.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Piccolo suddenly halted the day's training, "Stop!"
Gohan looked up at him, "What's wrong Piccolo-san?"
Ami looked over toward where Piccolo and Gohan were. She had been a little ways apart from them, where huge pieces of broken rocks, the by-products of her trying out ki-blasts on a mountain, were towering over her. She had been fine-tuning her Shi Shi Hokodan in order to get the most effects out of minimal use and power, "They're here aren't they?"
Piccolo nodded.
"Already?" Gohan had a worried look on his face.
Then Krillen landed, followed shortly by Yamcha, Tien, and Choutsu (AN: I don't think anyone knows how to spell his name! Every time I see it, it's spelled different. Oh well...)
"Looks like the day's finally come," Krillen said with a frown as two high energies rapidly approached.






So how was it?
I'm really proud! This is my longest chapter ever! ^_^
I'm in the process of working on several other fics, but none seem good enough for ff.n yet. Keep on reading and reviewing! ^_^
Thank you Bulma-chan for being my beta-reader and for putting up with my confusion as I tried to write this.
And also I want to send thanks to all those 6 people who reviewed or sent me an e-mail.
Send me reviews! ~_^ Buh-bye! *walks away*





Is she gone?
Good

Ami-chan:

Annoying Announcer Guy:

Oops... *runs*


Ami-chan:

Bulma-chan:

Thank you
Ja!



Ami-chan:

*Dusts off hands while walking beck in. has a Veggie-like smirk on face* Well, I'll try to get the next chapter out soon, I've even written a few paragraphs. No clue when I'll be able to get the next chapter out. Probably during the Christmas holidays. Please review with ideas on the Saiya-jins arrival and the fight. Like I've previously stated, I suck at fight scenes. ^_^;;
