all of the lawyers around her and smiles weakly)
Claimer: I do own Cheena (dances around the lawyers then pushes them out the door)
Author's Note: To Ashton: Don't worry! I don't have any plans on turning Cheena into SS2 or SS3 right now. I think it's best if she just stays at SS1 along with Trunks and Goten. On your question of whether or not I was going to go beyond the Buu saga well I really don't know. I would like to but I'm just going to wait until I'm done with this then decide. Who knows, if all of you think I can find a nice spot for Cheena in GT then maybe I'll do it. Thank you for asking questions. I love to answer them so keep them coming.
Author's Note2: Thanks so much to all of you who reviewed the last chapter. It really meant a lot to me. I can't believe I have almost 100 reviews. I know it's not as much as most authors receive on this site but it's a lot to me. I hope I reach that mark soon. Anyway without further delay here it is, Chapter 37. Enjoy and as always see you at the end of the chapter.
Gohan stared at Buu as Buu just stared back. Suddenly Gohan powered up just a portion of his power. Dust moved around him as he glared at Buu. Behind him stood a bunch of mixed reactions. 'Gohan has changed!" Piccolo said. A smirk appeared across Cheena's face as she folded her arms across her chest. "Show him whose boss, Gohan!" she yelled. Everyone watched as the battle began. Gohan punched Buu with ease and watched as he staggered back. The battle really wasn't one to talk about unless you wanted to talk about Gohan and nothing but Gohan. As hard as Buu tried, he just couldn't get a hit in on Gohan. Cheena jumped up and down as she watched Gohan. She looked over at Goten who was just in shock. "I told you! He's been training for this, there is no way he can loose" she said with a huge smile on her face. Goten nodded his head slowly as he continued to watch. Gohan punched Buu around until he finally knocked him into the ground. As Buu staggered to get up Gohan appeared behind him. "Nice day we're having isn't it?" Gohan asked with a smile on his face.
The battle raged on with Buu coming out on the short end of the stick. Gohan was clearly leading this battle as he beat Buu to no end. Dancing behind him, Cheena was shaking her hips and throwing her hands in the air. "Go Gohan! Go Gohan! GO!" she yelled as she continued to dance. Trunks started to laugh as he started to dance right beside her. Happy to have a partner, Cheena grabbed his hands and started to dance. At first Trunks expression was one of shock but that soon turned into laughter and happiness. "Hey don't leave me out!" Goten yelled as he grabbed both Trunks and Cheena's hands and danced along with them. "STOP IT!!!" Buu yelled. The trio stopped what they were doing and looked at him. "I AM TIRED OF THIS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" he yelled. All of a sudden Buu started to power up. "What is he doing?" Cheena asked as she watched dust and small rocks blow all over the place. "Look out!" Piccolo yelled as he ran over to the kids. Shielding them behind his cape he watched. Cheena stuck her head out and continued to watch. "Cheena get back in there!" Piccolo said. "No fair! I want to see too!" she said. "Me too!" said Goten as he stuck his head out as did Trunks. Piccolo shook his head from side to side as he continued to watch as well. Veins started to pop out of Buu's body as he continued to power up. "OH NO!" Gohan yelled as he flew towards the gang. Suddenly all that could be seen was a blinding white light.
Opening her eyes Cheena noticed that she was no longer on the ground. "What happened?" she asked as she looked around. She noticed that she was sitting on Gohan's shoulder while he had Piccolo under one arm and Trunks and Goten under the other. "Where did Buu go?" she asked. "He blew himself up!" Gohan replied as he settled down on the ground along with Piccolo and the boys. Jumping off of his shoulder, Cheena looked around the area. "Wow Gohan, you did it!" Goten yelled as he ran to hug his brother. "Yeah Gohan, you beat him!" Trunks said with a smile on his face. Cheena looked at them through the corner of her eyes before looking around. *That was too weird! I can't believe Buu gave up that easy!* she said to herself. "I'm not sure if he's gone! He might be planning something!" Gohan said as he looked off into the distance. Cheena looked at him then followed his gaze into the distance. "Do you sense that?" he asked suddenly as he looked around. "What?" Goten asked as he looked at his brother. "I think it's Dendee!" Gohan said. Piccolo's face lit up as he heard that Dendee might be alive. "Let's go find him!" Cheena yelled. Gohan took off with everyone close behind him. The gang continued to fly around in search of Dendee. Just then something caught Cheena's eyes. She looked down to see someone she thought she'd never see. "Isn't that the loud mouth man from the tournament?" she asked as she pointed down. Everyone looked at what she was pointing to. "I wonder what he's doing all the way out here." Cheena asked. "Should we help him?" Gohan asked. "I say no! He's too loud and annoying!" said Goten as he folded his hands across his chest. "Well I'm going to help him besides he may be loud and annoying but he still doesn't deserve to die because of Buu" Cheena said as she flew down towards Hercule. "Wait up!" Trunks yelled as he flew after her.
Hercule and Bee were still walking in search of food when a pair of hands grabbed them and lifted them off the ground. Cheena had her arms around Bee while Trunks had his hands full with Hercule. "What..what's going on?" Hercule asked as he looked around. He looked over at Cheena and Bee. "Hey you're that girl that won the girl tournament earlier" he said. "Yep that's me and the names Cheena not girl" Cheena said as she looked at him. "Sorry!" said Hercule as he looked in front of him then up at Trunks. "Hey aren't you that same boy that won the boys tournament?" Hercule asked. "Name's Trunks and I was also the person who knocked you out, remember?" Trunks asked. "No I don't remember that! You must have me confused with someone else" Hercule said as placed his hand on the cheek that Trunks punched him in. Cheena and Trunks looked at each other and laughed. "What's so funny?" Hercule asked. "NOTHING!" the two said as they flew over to the rest of the gang. "Nice to see you again Hercule!" Gohan said as he looked at Hercule. "You're Videl's friend!" Hercule said as he looked at Gohan. Gohan looked at him before taking off again with everyone following. "He's her boyfriend!" Cheena said as she looked at Hercule. "No he's her friend" Hercule said as he looked at Cheena. "Whatever!" Cheena mumbled to herself as she flew on. "Look there's Dendee!" Goten shouted as he pointed below him. Everyone smiled as they saw Dendee fine and well. Quickly they flew down to him and landed in front of him. Cheena gently placed Bee down on the ground while Trunks let Hercule go before his feet could touch the ground, sending him face first into the ground. "Trunks?" Cheena yelled as she looked at him. "My fingers slipped!" he said as he grinned at her. Shaking her head from side to side she soon developed a smile on her face.
"Dendee, how did you make it? I thought Buu turned you all into candy bars?" Piccolo asked. Dendee told him about Mr. PoPo and how he tossed him off the side of the lookout. "Who is that guy?" Hercule asked. "He's guardian of the Earth!" Trunks said as he looked at him. "He's not guardian of the Earth, I am!" Hercule said as he stood up with his hands on his hips and a stupid grin on his face. Everyone looked at him wondering if he was serious or not. Hercule looked at everyone and dropped his hands. "Anyway, where is my daughter?" he asked trying to change the subject. Everyone looked down at the ground especially Gohan and Cheena. "She's gone! Buu turned her and everyone else into chocolate bars and ate them" Dendee said. "WHAT!!" Hercule yelled as he looked at Dendee. Gohan kept his head down as he walked over to a rock and had a seat. "HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN TO MY SWEET DAUGTHER VIDEL? WHAT KIND OF BOYFRIEND ARE YOU?" he yelled at Gohan. "I'm sorry! I wasn't there!" Gohan said as he looked at Hercule. Goten crept over to Cheena and whispered in her ear. "I thought he said they were just friends" Cheena has a small smile on her face as she looked at Hercule. Suddenly her head quickly turned to the side. "Buu!" she said. "WHAT? NO WAY!" Trunks said as he looked at her. "No I sense him too but he doesn't seem any different!" said Gohan as he climbed off of the rock. Dendee, Hercule and Bee ran and hid behind a couple of rocks. Just as Cheena said Buu was back and standing right in front of them.
Buu had a smile on his face as he looked at Gohan. "What is he up to?" Gohan asked as he stood in front of Buu. "Listen I went to take a break and now I want to fight but I want to fight the boys" Buu said. "WHAT?" Trunks, Goten and Cheena said together. "No, you will fight me!" Gohan said as he took his fighting stance. Buu smiled at Gohan then looked over at Trunks and Goten. "What's the matter boy's; did you get scared of me?" Buu taunted. Trunks and Goten growled as they clenched their fists. "You are going to fight me Buu" Gohan yelled. "No, let us take him!" Trunks yelled as he ran in front of Gohan with Goten close behind. "We can take him!" Goten said as he prepared to do the fusion dance. "All right!" Gohan said as he folded his arms across his chest. Trunks and Goten did the fusion dance and soon Gotenks was back. "So that's fusion!" Gohan said as he watched. "Give it to him Gotenks!" Cheena yelled as she watched. Gotenks turned towards her and winked. "Don't worry about that! Gohan we'll leave you a little something, ok?" Gotenks said as he turned towards Buu. Buu had a smile on his face as he stared at the boys. Cheena's eyebrows went up as she looked at him. *Why is he still smiling? Something doesn't seem right* she said to herself as she watched.
Gotenks transformed into their Super Sayian 3 form. Cheena folded her arms across her chest and smiled. Suddenly Bee started to bark as he ran towards her but go stopped by Hercule. "Be quiet Bee!" he said as he carried the dog back to his original spot. Bee continued to bark as he looked at Buu. Cheena turned towards Bee and Hercule and just looked at them. *Why is he barking? He wasn't a few minutes ago!* she said to herself. Just then something moving caught her eye. Turning her head she noticed some pink slime moving behind Piccolo. "What?" she questioned as she dropped her arms to her sides and looked at Gotenks. Behind him was also some pink slime. "What is that?" she questioned as she looked at it. She looked at Buu then back to the slime. *Wait, that's it!* she said as she realized why Bee was barking. "GOTENKS, PICCOLO! WATCH OUT!" she yelled as loud as she could. "What?" Gohan, Gotenks and Piccolo said as they looked at her. "It's too late!" Buu yelled as his eyes turned red. Suddenly the pink slime grew big and started to cover over Gotenks and Piccolo. Cheena watched in horror as Gotenks and Piccolo tried to fight out of it. "NO!!" she screamed as loud as she could as she watched Buu just start to laugh out loud.
Author's Note3: What about that? Cheena just can't catch a break can she? See what happens next time because you and I both know she's not going to let Buu get away with this. I might actually have to send her into battle, who knows! If you want to know then check out the next chapter. Thanks for reading and I'll see you the next time around.
