Here I am, I'm back again!

So, in this chapter you'll find out the "other" names of the other Z-Warriors. Some of then I chose simply because I saw them and for the others I searched for the meaning of the name. I will give you a small list:

Goku: Gunnar (brave soldier)

ChiChi: Ciara (black)

Gohan: Gary

Goten: Glenn

Videl: Valerie (to be strong)

Pan: Pia

Vegeta: Vincent (Conqueror)

Bulma: Bryanne (Strong one)

Bra: Beau (beautiful)

And thank you all for reviewing! I am very happy that you like my story so far! J

The last time in "The Lost Warrior":

 "And what exactly do you want from us?" Trunks interrupted her thoughts. "Teach me how to fight!" Jenny said confidently.

Chapter 4: "First Steps"

"You're sure about it?" Goten asked. The blond girl nodded.

"Would you excuse us for a moment?" Trunks took Goten aside. "So, what do you think?"

"She seems to be very serious about it. I think we should give her a chance. If she doesn't make it, we can still stop training."

"But when we train her, we must be very careful not to hurt her." Trunks thought a moment. "Ok, I agree with you. We will train her, but we will stop, when she can't take it anymore."

"Wow, you really like her, do you? You've never been so careful with someone in the last few months."

"Let's just say, I don't want to hurt her," Trunks said. He meant it the way he said it. He didn't want to hurt her. Neither physically, nor did he want to hurt her feelings. Jenny looked at the boys as they were talking. After a while they turned around and went back to her. "Ok, Glenn and I decided to train you. But just under one condition: When it is to much for you, we'll stop."

"It won't be to much for me! Thank you very much!" Jenny said, sighing with relief.

"And you must help us a bit catching things up we missed here in school," Goten added with his goofy Son-grin.

"So, when do we start?" Jenny asked.

"What do you think of Friday afternoon?" Trunks asked.

"Friday's ok? Mmh, one more question. Can we train at your house? Because I don't want my parents to know about that yet."

"That's ok, we've got a big garden, and I'm sure my parents won't say anything against it," Goten said. "You can come with us right after school. I don't have maths this Friday. And my mother is a very good cook."

"Ok, then Friday after school! I'll have to go now, I still have to learn a bit for the test in biology tomorrow. You two are lucky that you don't have to write it tomorrow, just because you're new. That's not fair!" Jenny said whining. "Bye! See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!" both boys answered.

In the next few days nothing happened except the test in biology. Jenny knew, it didn't matter how much she studied for it, she would write a bad mark at it. But she didn't care anymore about this class. She really hated her teacher Mr. Fieldner, and she always felt her anger rise, when he was near. But this time it was different. When he passed by, a shiver crawled down her back. "Are you alright?" Naomi asked as she saw the look on Jenny's face.

"Yes, I'm ok," she answered with a fake smile.

Meanwhile in the hall, Trunks and Goten were sitting on some chairs and chatting. Suddenly Trunks shivered. "Did you just feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"I don't know. Something made me shiver. Didn't you really feel it?"

"Nope. Maybe you've just imagined it."

"Maybe…"

Not even one hour later Jenny walked through the hall to Goten and Trunks. "What are you doing here? Did you have finished your test already?" Trunks asked.

"Yup, this is normal in biology for me. But I think, I lasted long this time. I've finished the last test within 30 minutes… But let's change the subject, I don't want to talk about biology right now. What do you have there?" she asked Goten who held a box in his hands.

"Chocolatecake. You want some? My mother made it. It tastes really good." Goten offered her a piece and she took it without hesitation. She thanked him and devoured it in some bits.

"Yummy, it's really good. I can't wait to test your mother's cooking on Friday," she said grinning.

"Wanna more?" Goten handed her another piece. She just nodded and devoured it as fast as the previous one.

Soon Friday arrived and Jenny couldn't wait the day in school to end. She was curious about their parents, especially about the cooking of Goten's mom. The girl had told her parents, that she would meet the boys, so that she could study with them, since they just moved here and did miss a lot of things in school. But her main target was learning how to fight.

After school she told the boys, that she didn't want to walk, because her car was standing here at school. So they told her the street where they're living and Jenny drove with them to their home.

After 10 Minutes of driving they finally arrived. "Here we are!" said the always cheerful Goten.

"Where can I park my car?"

"There, in this driveway," Trunks answered the slightly nervous girl.

"Wow, this is a big house." Jenny stared in awe at that huge house.

"We've got three apartments. One for me and my parents, one for my brothers' family and one for Tom and his family."

"We're living under the roof, the biggest apartment, because we're four persons, while all the others are just three," Trunks explained.

"And were do we eat?" Jenny asked hearing her stomach rumble.

"I guess in our apartment," the elder boy answered. "We've got enough space for everyone."

"Come on you two, stop talking and lets go inside. I'm starving!" the always hungry Saiyajin said.

As they entered the apartment under the roof, they heard voices in the living room and the boys led their guest to this room. "Hello guys!" Goten greeted his family and friends.

"Oh, hello you two, eh three! You're early. Oh, and that must be Jenny. I'm Bryanne Briefs (Yes, they kept their family-names.) I'm Tom's mother. This is his father Vincent and his sister Beau."

"And this is my family," Goten said smiling. "My parents Gunnar and Ciara Son, my big brother Gary with his wife Valerie and their daughter Pia."

"Nice to meet you," Jenny said a bit shyly.

"I bet you are hungry. Lunch will be ready in about ten minutes," ChiChi said leaving the living room in order to look after the food. Ten minutes later all people were gathered around a big table in the dining room and as soon as there was any food on the table, the Saiyajins rushed at the food as if they hadn't eaten in two weeks. Much to Bulma's relief it didn't seem to bother or surprise their guest. It seems as if Jenny tried hard to remain her table manners, too.

"Glenn, you were right! Your mother is an excellent cook!" Jenny told her friend so that everyone could hear it.

ChiChi smiled at that compliment. "Thank you. I hope you'll come back soon, so that I can cook for you. You're much more grateful than my men." She shot an evil grin at Goku, Gohan and Goten.

"But Ciara honey, you know I love your cooking, would I eat it if I didn't like it?" her husband said with his trademark Son-grin, while he put her arms around her.

"Yes you would! As I know you, you would eat everything that looks like food."

Jenny laughed at this comment and got a playful evil glare from Goten. "What? I think she's right, Glenn. As far as I got to know you in the last week, you wanted to eat everything that just looked like you could eat it," she said smirking. This time Trunks had to laugh.

"That's not funny!" Goten and Goku shouted.

"Yes it is, and it is the truth!" Bulma added giggling.

"Ok, ok, you got us. But joking aside. When do we want to start to train?" the young half-Saiyan asked.

"I'd like to start now, if it doesn't bother you. But I need a room to change."

"You can take my room. I'll show you where it is." Trunks stood up and motioned for her to follow him. In his room Jenny looked around, while Trunks was searching his own training-clothes. He wanted to change downstairs at Goten's.

Suddenly the girl spotted a sword hanging at the wall. "Wow! Where did you get that from?"

"Hmm? What? Ah, the sword. A friend gave it to me when I had been eight."

"Do you know how to use it?"

Trunks nodded. "So, I go downstairs to Goten to change. When you've finished just go outside, we'll wait for you."

"Okay." Then he left Jenny alone in his room, closing the door. Jenny put her bag on his large bed and took her training-clothes. It was warm outside today, so she brought an old dark-blue T-shirt and old black shorts along. Trunks had told her that it would be better to bring old clothes in case of that they would tear apart.

After she had changed her clothes she went down but was stopped by a voice she hadn't heard before. "You're sure you want to do this?" She turned around to see Trunks father leaning at the wall, his arms crossed. The girl nodded. "Why?"

"Because I have to," was her answer. She didn't know why she said this. She could have simply said, that she wanted to do this, because it is fun, or that this is none of his business. But she told him, that she had to do this. Vegeta looked straight in her eyes, when she answered, and he saw determination in her eyes. He was sure that he had seen this look before, but he couldn't tell when and where. Jenny felt a bit uneasy and then said: "I have to go now. The boys are waiting for me outside." Then she left the apartment and went to the garden, where the boys already made some warm-ups.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Trunks asked with concern in his voice.

"Nothing," she lied. She couldn't tell her friend about her encounter with his father.

"Ok, so let's start." In the next few hours Trunks and Goten showed their friend some defensive stances, so that she could block punches and kicks. One stance was quite difficult, so Trunks decided to show her exactly how she had to hold her arms. To do that he walked behind her and put his arms around her and motioned for her, how she had to hold her own arms. He could smell the scent of her hair and he could feel his heartbeat fasten. 'She smells so sweet. Oh, what am I thinking? I can't allow myself to let her know how I feel. I don't want to hurt her when we're leaving.'

Jenny could feel the muscular arms wrapping around her body. She stopped breathing for a moment. His arms guided her arms into the right pose. Her heartbeat fastened as well as his, and she could feel his heart pounding against his chest. 'No, this can't be true. He's so close to me.'

At this moment Goten came through the door to the garden, with three bottles of water, which he had gotten for his friends.
