Disclaimer: I don't own any of the DBZ characters, as much as I may wish. They belong to a big company that I don't own...yet! ^_^ Oh, yeah, Mana's My character so, stay away from her!
Heads or Tails?
"So, What happened?" Trunks asked, His eyes set on Mana's.
Mana looked down at her lap and blushed, "well uhh..."
Bulma and Bra stopped eating to look at Mana, waiting for an answer. Vegeta kept eating but slowed his pace down significantly, obviously eager to listen in. (Surprise huh?)
Trunks watched as Mana turned an even brighter red as she realized she was being watched.
"I... Don't know... All I remember is Bulma trying to stick a needle in me."
Trunks and Vegeta flinched as the word needle came out.
"By the way..." Mana looked up into Bulma's eyes, " What was in there?"
"A cell revival syrup."
"What?"
"A cell revival syrup..." Bulma repeated, letting out a heavy sigh, "When you were abducted, your host parents put your sayjin cells to sleep. All I did was wake them up."
"... Why would they do that?" Mana asked.
"To keep you under control I suppose."
Mana nodded and everyone was quiet until, "I was abducted?"
Bulma nodded and took a sip of her drink, "Yes... when you were 4."
"Why was I abducted? And why didn't you guys come sooner, and-"
"So many questions!" Bulma scolded, a smile playing onto her face. "Alright then... I don't know why you were abducted, no one knows... except for you're host parents... and as for you other question, the reason why we couldn't get you right away is because we had no clue where they'd took you. It took us all this time to even find a trace of you. We were lucky to find you."
Again quiet. Trunks turned back to his meal, a loud growl sprung from his stomach before he began to chow down. Mana watched as he ate, amazed at haw fast he could eat. "Wow..." She whispered, "Don't you ever worry about choking?"
Trunks paused and turned to her, a surprised look on his face, "Actually no... Never thought of it."
Bulma laughed, "Don't worry Mana, You'll be able to eat like that soon enough."
"Huh?"
"Yeah, didn't you know? All sayjins eat like that."
Mana looked back to trunks, "But I've never ate like that before..."
"Of course not!" Bulma chuckled, "Your sayjin cells have been asleep, remember? The trait'll show it's head soon enough."
Mana gulped and looked at her food then at Trunks, a worried look on her face...
Vegeta grunted and actually stopped eating, "What now girl? Are you not hungry?"
Mana shook her head and slowly picked up her chopsticks. Her brown eyes running over the brown noodles and dead fish. `I hate Chinese food...' She thought picking up a piece of sushi. `Oh well... I just hope my new mother'll know how to cook something else before that eating thing kicks in or else,' Mana made a face,
******************************FLASHBACK******************************
"Honey, Come and eat! Chinese food today!"
Mana rushed down the stairs, an exited look on her face, "Wow! Chinese food?" She sat down and began munching down on the exotic food in front of her. Not a moment later did Mana stop, her face slightly green, "Ugh... I think I'm gonna be sick!"
****************************END OF FLASHBACK************************
Mana let out a contented sigh as she felt the warm water trickle down her face. Dinner was finally over. Mana had practically barfed at the table after her 2^nd bite and was glad to be excused after the briefs noticed something was wrong. Her stomach no longer hurt and she didn't have the urge to throw up anymore but the thought of another meal like that was truly making her sick.
Mana closed her eyes and leaned against the bathroom wall, "I still don't really get what's going on..." She muttered, "I was abducted? So... I-" Mana's eyes popped open and she let out a loud groan. Her knees quaked and soon she was on the bathtubs' floor, gasping for air. Her teeth grinded against each other and her hands desperately grabbed at the smooth ground. "What's happening?" She growled, pain roaring through her body. She was beginning to see red so she closed her eyes and leaned down even more on the floor. Her nails were scraping the ground now and she was letting out cries of agony. Then, a loud pop was heard and Mana released a loud scream before falling onto the floor, un- conscience.
*
Trunks was walking to his room when he heard Mana's piercing scream and panic rushed through him, "Mana!" He whispered, making a move towards the door, as soon as his hand touched the door knob however, his mind began to replay Gohan's words, making him sweat, "... Damn it!" He cursed, "Gohan's gonna kill me for this!" With that, he opened the door and rushed in.
Once inside, Trunks could see nothing but a light in the bathroom. Trunks eyed the bathroom door warily. If Mana had been anywhere else but the bathroom...
"Trunks!" Bulma cried running into the room, Bra and Vegeta behind her. "What happened?"
Trunks looked at his mother and shrugged. Signaling towards the bathroom door.
Bulma nodded and signaled fro Bra to follow her. Together, the two entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Vegeta looked at his son and snorted, "What's the matter boy? Not man enough?"
Trunks shot an angry look at his father before turning his attention back to the door.
****************************Bathroom************************************
Bulma and Bra entered the bathroom and gasped. Bulma ran over to Mana, un-conscience on the floor of the tub. "Mana!" She whispered. Bra walked over to them and blinked, "Mom, why does she have a tail?"
Bulma looked at Mana's new tail in surprise, "... The cells. Mana must've grown her tail back."
*
Mana groaned and reached up to her head, rubbing it. "Man... What time is it?" She muttered, sitting up. "Hey-" Mana blinked, what was she doing in her bed? `Well that's weird. Last time I checked I was in the shower. Then...' Mana gasped `That weird feeling... I-` Mana un-conscience wrapped her tail around her waist, trying to figure out what had caused her so much pain. She thought for a while then lost interest and turned to her window. Morning... `How long was I asleep?' She wondered, getting out of bed. `Clothes...' She muttered, looking around. It didn't take long for her to notice a shirt and a pair of pants lying on a nearby desk. She quickly changed and looked into the mirror. She was wearing an old shirt of Bulma's that had the capsule corp. logo on the back and the words Capsule Corp scrolled across the front. Her pants were a dark blue and hugged her thighs. For some reason there was a hole in the back of it and Mana couldn't figure out why... Until her tail
found it's way though the hole that is. Mana felt it wrap around her waist and screamed, Bringing Bulma rushing in.
"What's wrong?" Bulma asked, looking Mana over.
Mana turned around to face Bulma and hastily pulled her tail from around her waist. "I-I got a tail!" She shouted.
Bulma nodded and smiled, "Yes you do!"
"... Doesn't this seem weird to you at all?" Mana asked, looking Bulma in the eye.
"Nope."
"Not at all?"
"No."
"..."
"Mana?" Trunks walked into the room, his hair a mess.
Mana watched as he walked in and blushed.
Bulma looked at her son and smiled. `Looks like someone forgot to put a shirt on!' She thought, `this might get interesting...'
Mana let go of her tail and felt it wrap itself around her again. She shivered at the feeling but kept her gaze of Trunks. `Wow!' she thought, her blush getting redder, `he's...wow!'
Trunks scratched the back of his head and smiled, "You know, you scream more often then my sister."
Bulma smiled, and turned to walk out but Mana stopped her by calling out her name.
"Bulma, What about my..." Mana stopped and blushed again.
Bulma turned around and shot Mana a comforting glance. "Don't worry about it. It's another thing that all sayjins have."
"Huh? What?" Trunks asked, looking Mana over.
"Uh..."
"Bye!" Bulma called, leaving.
Trunks's gaze made Mana shiver and blush again. "What "thing'?"
"Ummm..." Mana bit her lip and uncurled her tail from her waist. She could now sort of control it... "This..."
Trunks looked at her tail in surprise, "Is that what you were shouting about last night?" He asked.
Mana nodded.
"Wow, Didn't know it could hurt that bad..." Trunks muttered, staring at her tail thoughtfully. There was a moment of silence before,...
"Trunks, Mana!" Bra appeared in the doorway, a cheerful look on her face, "Breakfast is ready!" She said, looking just a little disappointed that she didn't really interrupt anything.
Trunks nodded and walked out, leaving Mana and Bra alone in the room. Bra walked up to Mana and smiled. "So... How does it feel having a tail?" She asked, eyeing the object in question.
Mana shrugged, "It feels kinda weird..."
"I never actually remember having a tail..." Bra said thoughtfully. Bra's eyes gleamed and she looked up at Mana with a mischievous look in her bright blue eyes, "You like my brother, don't you?"
Mana took a step back, startled by the question, "I, uh..."
Bra's smile grew as she watched Mana begin to blush again. "I thought so!"
"Bra, Mana, What's taking so long?" Bulma asked, walking in, "Food's getting cold."
"Sorry mom!" Bra chirped, skipping out of the room.
Bulma looked at Mana and winked, "C-mon, now, Food's ready and I'm sure your hungry!" She began to turn around and stopped, looking over her shoulder, "Oh yeah, your family's coming over this afternoon to pick you up so..."
Mana nodded and walked up to Bulma. Together they walked out of the room and to the much-awaited food.
*
"Ahhh, That was great Bulma!" Mana exclaimed, leaning back.
Trunks chuckled and stood up. His father already far ahead of him.
"Where you going?" Mana asked, watching his stand.
` "Gravity room to train... want to come?"
Mana tilted her head to the side. "I guess."
Trunks nodded and looked over to his mom. "Why don't you change? I have some old clothes you can borrow and I'm sure my mom'll be happy to help you find the gravity chamber."
"K" Mana said, standing up, "I haven't done any training in a while."
"You train?"
"M- hum, my old parents tried to keep me from doing that kind of stuff but of course," Mana winked, "I didn't listen to them."
Trunks smiled and started walking to the gravity chamber, "Well, we'll just see what you've got then!" he said, putting his hands in his pockets.
Mana watched him walk off and smiled. "I guess so." She muttered. Then she turned to Bulma, "Ummm, I sorta don't know where his room is..." She said sheepishly.
Bra stood up and skipped over to Mana, "I'll show you!" She said, taking Mana's hand and dragging her behind.
"Wait!" Bulma called, making the two girls stop dead in their tracks. "I've got something you can wear!"
Heads or Tails?
"So, What happened?" Trunks asked, His eyes set on Mana's.
Mana looked down at her lap and blushed, "well uhh..."
Bulma and Bra stopped eating to look at Mana, waiting for an answer. Vegeta kept eating but slowed his pace down significantly, obviously eager to listen in. (Surprise huh?)
