Thanks




Notes:
Okay people listen up. This should clear some of the confusion about where exactly I am in the DBZ saga. Here goes. Everything up to Namek's destruction happened normally.
Goku arrived home from Yardrat normally, but M. Trunks never appeared. There is no cell and the androids have yet to be awakened.
Jeri arrived during the begining of the third year in the four year period. Kim arrived in the fourth year. Goten hasn't been born yet.
Gohan can't go super saiyan yet, but will at a later time in the story, I just haven't figured out how to do it yet.
I hope that clears everything up and please ask questions if you're confused.

Now on with the story.





Ch. 11: Kim's big surprise


November 14 12:00 noon



Kimberly couldn't believe she let Jessica talk her into coming, but if she were telling the truth... it would be a dream come true for the nineteen-year-old. You see Kim, like Jeri, is a DBZ fan, but her favorite character is Piccolo where as Jeri's favorite character is Vegeta. She is also a DBZ freak, but does not where the merchandise.
Kim had shoulder-length brown hair and deep chocolate brown eyes. At 6ft1" she stands just a little taller than Jeri who, during her training, grew to the height of 5ft11".
Just then she heard a soft tap noise as Jeri's feet touched the ground. Turning to the noise Kim said, "Puff?"

Jeri chuckled and replied, "Puff. Puff."

Kim's eyes lit up.

"Jesse!"(Glomps Jeri)

"Ahh! Kim let me go! (Gets squeezed) Urk! I can't breath! Lemme go!"

After struggling for nearly an hour Jeri finally got free from Kim's death grip and leaned against a tree.

It was then that Kim took the time to give her friend the once over. At nineteen, Kim was a very stylish girl and had been trying to bring Jeri into it since they first met at a DBZ convention three years prior.
Jeri was not in her usual loose-fitting clothes, but in a stylish outfit of cheetah skin pants, black leather boots, and black leather corset shirt. (You know those shirts that lace all the way up.) Her once barely distinguishable form was now shown fully for all to see. Her pants hugged her legs and hung low on her hips.
Kim let out a low, impressed whistle and said, "Damn, girl! Who gave you the makeover?"

Jeri chuckled again and said, "Bulma. She made me sit through a makeover last night in exchange for using her computer. You like?"

Kim looked her friend over one more time and said, "I like. Man, what a difference! From duckling to swan. I'm just sorry I missed it."

Jeri now gave Kim a returning once over. After all, a year can change people. Her friend wore tight, hip hugging, black leather pants, black leather boots that came up to her mid lower leg, and a blood red halter top.
Jeri smirked then said, "Well, well, well. All hail the Queen of Puff. You haven't lost your touch, I see."

Kim fingered the silver ring on her left, middle finger, and said, "Well are you going to prove to me that the special forces are real are we gunna just stand here all night and chat?"

Jeri sighed then said, "If you want to go then let's go, but you may want to put your hair up first."

"Why?"

"Cause I don't want to choke on your hair."

"Puff?"

"I can fly, Kimberly."

"Yeah, right."

Before Kim could say the rest of her statement Jeri grabbed her friend by the shoulders, tossed her over her head onto her shoulders, locked Kim's hands together, and took off at top demi-saiyajin speed.

'3...2..1...' Jeri thought.

"Ahh!" Kim screamed as Jeri picked up speed and began flying upside down.

"I believe you! I believe you! Put me down! PUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFFF!"

Jeri had already flown to Piccolo's training grounds.
She put on an evil smile then yelled, "Mr. Piccolo!"

After a few moments she heard his gruff voice say, "Jeri?! What are you doing back here?! I thought you were staying with Goku."

As he got up to her altitude he noticed the two, small, pale hands that were clamped around Jeri's neck.
He said, "Who is that?"

Jeri pulled the still startled Kim around in front of her and said, "This is my friend Kim."

Kim turned pale then said, "Puff! Its Piccolo! He's real!"

'Not the reaction I was hoping for, but you take what you can get.'

Jeri sent Piccolo her evil smirk then made a gesture at Kim.

Piccolo's eyes widened.

"Don't you dare!"

Jeri dropped Kim.

Kim screamed.

Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest and said, "I'm not going after her."

Jeri waited.

Piccolo fidgeted.

"I'm not going after her."

"I know."Jeri said.

"Jeri..."Piccolo growled, warningly.

Finally he dived after the still falling girl after saying, "Damn you." To Jeri. It only took him a moment to catch the female and bring her back up to Jeri's altitude. Kim was clinging to his shirt for dear life since Piccolo was not supporting her weight and would not help her at all.

He sighed then said, "The things I do for you, Jeri. Humph. Oh, well."

He then threw the frightened nineteen-year-old over his shoulder so that she was braced against his back.
Kim clung to the green man's cape with a grip more powerful than she looked capable of.

"Jesse!" She yelled as she started sliding from Piccolo's back.

Jeri shook her head and said, "Ahem... Piccolo."

Piccolo got the message and grabbed Kim's wrists to pull her back up. He pulled her until her head was resting beside his right ear. Then he rolled his eyes around to look at her and whispered, "I don't care if you are Jeri's friend, if you scream while you're this close I'll kill you. Got it, onna?"

Jeri sent an all-knowing look at her friend and sensei then thought, 'It's time for me to play matchmaker.'

Then she said, "Mr. Piccolo, I also stopped by to extend an invitation to Bulma's party tonight. So, will you come?"

Piccolo smirked then said, "On one condition."

"What?"

"You have to sing one song of my choice."

"Sure. I was entertaining everyone with karaoke tonight anyway."

Kim made a low noise then said, "Jesse.... Puff."(Poor Kim)

Piccolo made a questioning face then said, "Jesse?"

Jeri looked at him and said, "Oh. One of my nicknames."

"OK."

Kim was getting tired of just hanging there so she let go of Piccolo's cape and said, "I hope this works. FLYING NIMBUS!"

Piccolo looked at Jeri as Kim go caught by the Nimbus cloud.

He said, "She can call the Flying Nimbus?"

"Yep."

Kim flew around the two chanting, "Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff! Puff, Puff, Puff! Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff! Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff!" (Indiana Jones theme song using Puffs.) (lol at Kim.)

Then the three of them headed towards Bulma's house to prepare for the party.

Reviewer Shout out:

Thanx to VEGETASPRINCESS, lia-goddgess, Jackie, alyssa, Maria S., cosmic lady,
canitan-queen, and SayinAngelPrincess for participating in my poll.


Congradgulatins to SayinAngelPrincess who will be in the story.

Maria S.:If I decide to bring Radditz back I'll put you in the story.

Vegetasprincess: When Gohan gets older I'll put you in the story.
I can't hook you up with Vegeta cause that's who Jeri is going to be with.



Dave: I know the story is mushy, but that's why its a romance. I'm not flaming you or anything I just thought
I'd set that straight.
Another thing is that Jeri had hidden power in the DBZ world like Gohan did and it unleases itsself as super saiyan.
She has hidden power that is like twice what gohan's was when piccolo first started training him.
