Sun light filtered in through the large bedroom window, which gave a new color and brightness to the room. Cell twitched and slowly woke up with his eyes still closed, hearing the birds outside. It was really annoying. He sucked up a small stream of saliva and his eyes slowly came open. As the vision came to him, he suddenly found himself staring half and inch into two gigantic green eyes.

He gasped and shot off the side of the bed and onto the floor, the sheet collapsing on top of him. Ichigo-chan, dressed in Gundam Wing PJ's, jumped up on the bed with arms outstretched and shouted, "Good morning Cell my man!"

"Are you all mad!?!" Cell growled, lifting himself weakly and glaring at her.

"Nah!" She said childishly, "I'm happy!"

Cell was about to respond but remembered were he was-this place was not of the norm-so instead he said, "What are you doing in here?"

"My house. Besides, you're lucky it's me and not Lem, she'll kick your ass if you're not down in three minutes and forty-two seconds."

"Three minutes and-?"

"Make that thirty-nine seconds."

Cell sighed, rubbing his forehead, and got up. Ichigo followed him, a big smile on his face. He growled and looked down at her. "Why'd you call her 'Lem'? That's not a word."

"I know." She fiddled with a spot on her shirt. "It's her nickname. Her name is Orenji, which means Orange. Lem is short for Lemon, a look-a- like fruit."

"A lemon does not look like-"

"MY nickname is Mai, which means dance."

"Do you-?"

"No."

"Then why-"

"I don't know! Marija gave us the names." They walked down the long staircase. "Anyway, only we call eachother those names, so you don't have to know other names to call us." She smiled and he rolled his eyes.

The entered the kitchen, were Orenji was mixing something silvery and bloody looking. When she caught site of Cell, she grinned and poured the mixed substance into a glass and handed it to him. "Here."

"And.what is this?" Cell leaned back from it tentatively, sniffing its brimstone sent.

"It's called Eckroleac. Ichigo gives it to her droids all the time. It a full machine nutrient, quite a boost for your testing this afternoon."

Cell suddenly brightened up at the word 'testing', and he looked down at the glass. "What's in it?"

"Stuff." She said flatly. "Drink it."

Cell, noticing that ever-popular tone to her voice, didn't think to argue and quickly choked down the substance. It wasn't as horrible as he'd imagined, in fact it didn't taste much like anything except for a little rubbery after taste, but felt very cement-like going down, and he shivered.



"You'll get use to it." Ichigo smiled and walked over to the counter, grabbing a bottle of a reddish-purple liquid and drinking it. "This is also a nutrient-for us natural bodies." She smirked. "This is just for this occasion. We don't always have to be repressed to these kind of things."

"Thank Goddess." Orenji smiled and turned towards the table. "Alright, get over here you two." Cell and Ichigo both sat down at the table, still sipping on their substances. "Today, Cell my boy, we'll be starting you on your tests to give us the okay that you can train. This is going to happen as soon as possible, but the Eckroleac will get you pumped up and more than ready in less than an hour. We'll be doing the tests, and here's where the trust starts up. There will be fifteen tests, got it?" He nodded.
