DISCLAIMER:I do not own DBZ
The red-haired girl hit the wall hard, causing it to crack. She stood up quickly and wiped the blood from her mouth. "You'll pay for that one!" she yelled. She ran at the man who had thrown her and punched him as hard as she could, sending him flying backwards. Then she disappeared and reappeared behind him, kneeing him with her right leg and kicking him upwards with her left. Then she appeared above him and sent him flying into the ground by slamming her fists into his back. He hit the ground, sending up a large cloud of dust.
Then she landed on the side and peered into the hole. A man with blue and orange clothes that were badly torn climbed out; he was covered in bruises and cuts. "Good job Jewel!" he said. "Soon you'll be able to beat me when I'm SSJ 2 and you'll still normal."
"Thanks for the compliment Goku, but I'm still not as strong as you and Vegeta when you fuse. I don't think I ever will be," Jewel sighed.
Goku slung his arm around her shoulder. "Cheer up, kid! In two weeks you'll be twenty-seven! I'm willing to bet that a party will cheer you up!"
Jewel smiled sadly. "It would cheer me up more if mother was here. It's my fault you know, she'd still be here if I hadn't," Jewel bit her lip, fighting back tears.
Goku frowned. "Jewel, I was gone for ten years, your mother's been gone for thirteen. She sacrificed herself for you and for her world. She died for a good cause. But she died unhappy."
Jewel wiped the tears from her violet eyes. "She died without Vegeta," she said softly. Her eyes burned with fury. "That bastard! She loved him for her whole life! She saved him she nearly died for him! He loved her, but he was too damn proud to admit it!" Goku stepped away, fury radiated from Jewel's slender body. "Jewel, that was thirteen years ago, please forgive him. He loves Bulma, he's married to Bulma."
"I don't care! He never paid for his crimes! He killed thousands of people, and he broke my mother's heart!"
Goku grabbed Jewel and looked her in the eye. "Jewel, what is this really about?" She looked away. "I know you've forgiven Vegeta, you train with him at least twice a week."
Jewel said softly, "I don't want to be like her. I don't want to love someone who loves me back, but is too proud to admit it. But I'll be like her, I know I will be."
Goku choked back an involuntary comment. He knew what that was like. And he knew that it was going to happen to this extremely beautiful girl. She looked exactly like her mother, Katea, Goku's first female friend. Instead of saying what he was thinking Goku smiled and said, "Then don't fall in love with someone who can't love you back."
Jewel smiled sadly. Then she floated up a few feet. Looking down at Goku she said, "That's the problem. You see, I already have." Then she flew off towards Vegeta's house leaving a confused Goku behind.

Trunks walked out of the gravity room with a towel slung over his shoulder. He had just finished his daily training and was heading for the hot tub. He saw someone with a high power level land on the other side of the building. He recognized the power almost immediately as Jewel's.
He stepped around the building and saw her sitting on the ground, her knees drawn up to her chest, crying softly. He felt his heart crack at the sight, Jewel never cried. So he knelt beside her and said, "Hey Jewel, what's wrong?"
Her head jerked up at the sound. She looked into Trunk's caring blue eyes; he looked slightly worried for her. She felt herself begin to blush. What's wrong with me?! She thought. This is Trunks, he's going out with Marron, and he's just a friend. Besides Pan likes him. "Nothing Trunks," she said, wiping the tears away.
"I know you better then that Jewel," he chided. "We've been friends forever! Now tell me what's wrong."
"I'm afraid," she said.
"Afraid of what?"
"Of suffering the same fate that my mother did."
Trunks' eyes widened. He knew the story of Katea well, everyone did. It was a great, but heart-breaking story. Jewel was her favorite daughter; she had died by jumping in front of a blast meant for her. But the story says that she really died of a broken heart. She had loved Vegeta her entire life, and he had loved her, but he had married Bulma. Jewel couldn't suffer her mother's fate, it would break his heart to see her go through the rest of her life like that. "Why do you fear that? Surely the man that you love must love you back!"
Jewel smiled mockingly. "Sure Trunks. You say that because all girls hang on you. Guys do not hang on me, none of them! It doesn't matter what I do, I'll never be able to marry."
Trunks' smile faded. He was about to tell her something important when a blond girl ran around the corner. He saw him and waved. "Trunks! Hey Trunks!" Marron called. She ran over and hugged him. "Hi Jewel. Listen Trunks, there's this awesome movie showing, will you come with me? Please?"
Jewel looked away, her eyes burning and brimming. Trunks glanced at her, worry showing in his eyes. But when she didn't look at him he said, "Sure Marron, I'll come with you," he said finally, standing up.
"Great!" Marron said. She grabbed his arm and tugged him away, chattering on and on. Trunks cast one look over his shoulder at Jewel, who was glaring at him with burning eyes, but she quickly looked away.
Vegeta rounded the corner of the building to see Jewel crying again. If it had been his own daughter he might have yelled, if it had been his son he would have beat him, but this was Jewel. Daughter of the woman he had loved. So he walked over and said gruffly, "Are you here to train?"
She jumped up and wiped her tears away. "Yes I am Vegeta!"
"Was Trunks going off on a date with Marron again?" he asked her. Her eyes briefly clouded with pain and Vegeta guessed at something. "Sorry," he muttered. "I didn't mean to cause you pain. Come on, work it off in training, that's what I always do."
Jewel nodded and walked into the gravity room. Vegeta followed, a slight smile playing on his lips. If his own son would reject such a perfect woman, then who would accept her?
Okay that's Chapter one. Please tell me what you thought of it, if it was stupid or not. PLEASE? I'd also like it if you would all tell me who you think should go after Jewel. Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks or Goku? Thank you!!!!
