Dragon Moon Chapter 17
Day Cut Short

The three girls keep looking at cards. *Nothing is just right* Piccala thought to herself. Then she saw it. The perfect card she could get for Piccolo. On the front it was white with colorful balloons that read Happy Birthday. "What could be more perfect for your birthday.." Piccala read aloud to herself. She opened the card to see in bold letters "Than finding out you have a secret admirer?!" Piccala hid the card from the other girls. Mina finally came up with a decent card. It was navy blue on the front with people on the cover singing 'Happy Birthday to you'. Then on the inside they sang 'How old are you?' Then it read 'No matter how old you may be hope you have a great birthday.' The girls split the cost and Piccala went to pay for the card as Trinks and Mina pulled Serena away from Darien. She quickly bought her card for Piccolo first then the one Mina picked.

Meanwhile at the arcade Piccolo and Trunks were playing Fast Gas (made up name), a racing game. Vegeta, Enigma, and Kakarot were playing the Simpsons. Enigma was Homer, Kakorat was Bart and Vegeta was Lisa. So far they were all tied. Just as Vegeta was about to win and Trunks was about to crash they heard a scream. All five guys jumped up and ran towards the scream. Mina and the girls had heard it too. Mina and Serena were starting to run towards the scream when Piccolo and Trinks grabbed them and went poof! Instantly the girls landed not too far from the girl getting attacked. "What happened?" Mina asked. "Its one of Piccala's powers now we have to transform. Mina, Serena, and Trinks transformed quickly. They separated and surrounded the girl getting attacked. Piccolo and the guys were getting closer. "Give me your crystal!" a male voice roared. Serena stepped out into the light. "Cell? What are you doing?" she asked in shock. Cell, just as shocked himself, didnt know what to say. Instead he turned back to the girl and continued to try to take her crystal. "I am your enemy!" he said outloud, knowing other people were there to stop him. Piccala stepped next to Serena. "You know him?" she asked. "He used to be on our side..but now...." Serena said. Cell looked to see who Serena was talking too. *She's cute* he thought. He shook his head. This was no time to flirt. He had to get the pure crystal to Queen Beryl. "Love Chain Encircle!" Mina shouted. A spiral of hearts came flashing around Cell, stopping him for a moment. He started to go back to the girl but Trinks suddenly yelled "Frozen Moment!" and Cell stopped completely. "What did you do?" Mina asked. "I froze him. It only lasts 5 minutes. Piccala you have to get us to the lab!" Trinks said quickly. Suddenly the guys run in. "What happened?" Enigma asked, checking to make sure Trinks was ok. "Cell has turned to the NegaVerse and we have to get him to the lab! Keep an eye on the girl!" Mina replied. The girls grabbed Piccala and Cell and again went poof! The guys jumped back startled. "It's one of Piccala's powers."Piccolo told them. They asked no more and went to the girl. She was crying and having trouble breathing. "It will be okay." Trunks told her in a soothing voice, "Lets get you somewhere safe." The guys helped the girl up and took her to Kakarots Van. Trunks rode with them and Enigma and Vegeta rode with Piccolo.

The girls got to the lab with Cell and had only two minutes left before the effect of Trinks attack wore off. They quickly explained to Bulma what had happened and she got a special room ready for him. Just as the locked the door he unfroze. He tried to blast the walls but they just absorbed the energy. "You must be hungry after such a hard day." Bulma said to Cell and slipped some dinner through the hole in the door. Then she went back to what she was doing. "So whats your name?" Trunks asked the girl. "Hallie." she replied. "Nice name. I'm Trunks Briefs." The girl laughed. "Whats so funny?" he asked. "Well you are named after underwear..." she laughed harder. When she was done laughing everyone was quiet until they got to the mansion.
