Ch. 8
(J)July 17. Year unknown. Dear Journal, Hey It's me, Jeri, and have I ever got alot to tell you. I've been out here for eight months now and have pretty much gotten used to being alone. For six months Piccolo left me alone to fend for myself, but for the past two months he's been training me personnally.
Gosh, how to describe Piccolo... Well the t.v. show definatly exagerated his training methods. Or maybe he just trains me differently because I'm a girl.
Another thing is that training with him and living with him are way different.
Training days: He gets up at 4am and goes off to either train by himself or get something for breakfast. I get up at four thirty every day and usually cook breakfast. He brings it, I cook it. That was our deal. After I eat he usually gives me twenty minutes to wash myself in the lake that is about a mile away from where we sleep.
We train all day and usually a few hours into the night. At seven thirty we stop training for the day. At ten we go to bed. That is my day training.
Now living with him is in major contrast.
Life: When we end training for the day we go back to the cave and I cook supper. He doesn't eat so he usually just comments on my progress in my training. The other day he complemented me on my looks. He's really nice, but increadably shy. (AN:I know what you're thinking, but in her opinion he is.)
He takes care of me and I know he cares for me. I think of him as my big brother and often tell him such. He gets really broody sometimes after training, but never really does that much big thinking. He often tells me how much I remind him of Gohan.
I know so much about him that I can anticipate what he's going to say on the occasion. Living with him hasn't been as bad as I had originally thought it would be. He treats me with respect, gives me honest opinions and never lies to me. I adore my sensei and I sometimes even sing the song Gohan made up about him. (AN:It's called "I love Mr. Piccolo.")
He taught me how to read, speak, and write Japanese. With a lot of timed and a whole bunch of luck I managed to teach him to respect the fairer gender if they earn the respect, not if they can beat him in a fight.
I know he respects Chi Chi, though he doesn't admit it, for raising Gohan by herself when Goku was gone and for never giving up hope.
I think he respects Bulma for her guts in the face of extreame danger, even though he says he doesn't.
Thats life.
Anyway Piccolo found out I could sing and often makes me sing different songs for him when neither one of us can sleep. I told him about my family and few friends, and he told me about his. I learned more about him than anyone else in my world could ever know.
The bad thing is that I can't talk to him about female problems or let him read my fanfictions. At least I don't have to deal with PMS anymore. It turns out that sayan females don't go through that whole mess, they just go into heat once a month for three days. I speak from experiance.
I have finally excepted that I'm half sayan so it's no big deal anymore.
Well, Journal, since I got you from him three days ago I suppose I should lay off the writing till I break you in. Well ending this entry I'll say this; I don't know what year it is here cause I don't know where we are in the series. I know its after Namek, but before the Androids came so I must be in the four year period. The thing is when I asked Piccolo if he knew Trunks he just looked at me like I was insane.
Well gotta go.
Ja ne. (J)
Jeri closed her new journal and put back into it's hiding place under her sleep furs. Sighing she leaned into the wall and started humming one of her favorate songs as she tried to go to sleep. It was ten forty-five and she still had yet to fall asleep.
Piccolo heard her voice and opened his onyx colored eyes. He hadn't been able to sleep either and had been reading his student's mind as she wrote. He knew she was from another dimension, but had not yet told her that he knew. He couldn't get into some parts of her mind cause of some mental barriers she had in her mind. That made him angry. He respected her privacy, but he still wanted to know about her dimension. All he knew was that people in her world were all human, there were no dinosaurs or dragons, animals couldn't talk, and no one had any powers. Shifting to a sitting position Piccolo said, "It sems neither one of us is going to get any sleep. I don't know what song you are humming, but I want to her you sing it."
Jeri looked over at her sensei and siad, "Sure, Mr. Piccolo."
She then took a deep breath and sang,
"I will hear the voice from my destiny call.
And I know I must go find my way.
The hardest part will be leaving you all.
And I'll miss you much more than words can say.
I'll be only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me any time of the day.
I'll be there, it's okay.
Only a memory away.
My intuition says something is wrong.
My friends said they'd come say goodbye.
I can't go until I know what's going on.
I fear there is danger somewhere nearby.
I'll be only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day.
I'll be there, it's okay.
Only a memory away.
We've been together through good times and bad.
You've always been there for me.
I'll always treasure the best friends I have,
Eternally.
Only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day.
I'll be there, it's okay.
I'm only a memory away.
Only a memory away.
If you need me,
You can call me any time of day.
I'll be there, it's okay.
Only a memory away.
Only a memory away.
Only a memory away."
Jeri finished hte song then said, "Well that wass the whole song."
Piccolo was fealing really groggy so he jsut waved his hand at her and said, "That was really nice, kid, but I think it's about time for us to go to sleep."
He streached, rolled over, lied down, and went to sleep.
Jeri yawned then layed down and went to sleep as well.
When he was sure she was asleep Piccolo sat up, covered the girl up, ruffled her hair, and said, "Sleep well, kid. Rather you know it or not you're really something special and I'll protect you with my life. It is strange how you managed to worm you way into my life...and my heart. You'll never know just how much you mean to me. You're so much like Gohan.... (Sigh)It's too bad you won't be living with me much longer. Heck, after staying with you a year I would've let you stay with me if Goku hadn't offered earlier."
Then with a slight sigh the Namekian Z-senshi went to sleep.
That's the end.
Like?Hate?
