Disclaimer: I OWN THE WORLD! MUAHAHHAHAHA.. But not DBZ.. *sobs*
A/N: I'm going to try and update this more often from now on; I have a lot more time on my hands because its summer and I don't have to worry about any of my state tests. Of course, I still need extra time to myself to look up swears in Spanish and Japanese. Hehehe. ______________
"Name, please?" the hassled looking man asked as the Z-Senshi signed in for the Tenkaichi Budokai.
"Son Goku."
"Alright; next please." He said. Trunks and Goten stepped up. "Ah yes; more for the junior division." he mumbled, ignoring the boy's indignant protests. "Rules are rules!" he snapped when Trunks protested.
Snickering, Terra stepped up. "Another junior," he said marking a paper before him. The humor suddenly left her face.
"What?!" she yelled.
"As I've already explained, you must be at least fifteen to compete in the adult competition!" the now very irritated monk said.
"I AM FIFTEEN!" Terra snarled back. The man gave her a skeptical look; her height ranged in that of a twelve year-old's. "My Birthday was yesterday!" she added hotly when he took too long to reply.
Hesitantly, he marked her name down for the adult competition. Old fool. she grumbled silently, stalking over to Trunks and Goten, who threw her envious looks. He doesn't believe I'm fifteen. at this she snorted, gaining a few strange looks. The bozu (bozu=insulting term for a monk) would shit a brick if he knew the whole truth.
"Terra?" The red head turned around, meeting Gohan's shy dark eyes with her own flamboyant ones. "Why didn't you tell us it was your Birthday yesterday?" he questioned. If Terra hadn't known better, she would have thought she detected a hint of sadness in his voice.
The girl turned back around with a small 'feh'. "I lied." She stated simply. "I don't know when my Birthday is; I sure as hell know I'm older than fifteen though." she said the last part in a bit of a growl.
Gohan looked confused. "Older than fifteen? Then why didn't you say so?"
Terra resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "He barely believed that I was fifteen; you really think he'd believe me if I told him my real age? Even you probably wouldn't."
At this, the demi Saiyan smiled. "Why don't you tell me and let me be the judge of that?"
Terra gave him a long, steady look out of the corner of her eye. ".."
"Oh, come on, it can't be that strange," he insisted with a grin. "After all-"
"I'm ninety-four this year."
Gohan froze, staring at her with wide eyes.
"W-what?" he sputtered.
"You heard me," Terra growled. "Ninety-four."
"But." he faltered, speechless. Terra sighed.
"I told you that you wouldn't believe me." She stated with a shrug, as though it didn't matter.
"How.?" he asked, flabbergasted.
"My kind age very slowly. Also, dimension hopping tends to hinder the aging process. My body is physically that of a fifteen year old, but I've been alive for nearly one hundred years." She stopped, her mouth stretching wide in a yawn. Gohan could have sworn that, for just a moment, he had seen fangs, but the moment was gone and her teeth were normal.
The two stood in silence, waiting for the rest of the group. Gohan kept throwing her almost disbelieving glances when he thought she wasn't looking. She quickened her pace, soon becoming tired of his frequent stares. Walking between Mirai Trunks and Goku, she noted absently that the lavender haired boy refused to make eye contact at all.
She gave a mental shrug. All the better for her if she was left alone. The laughs and conversations of the group around her fell on deaf ears; Terra walked in silence. When she and the Z-Senshi entered the qualifying area, she couldn't help the grin that touched her lips.
Strong, beefy men stood 'practicing'. The red head's eyes twinkled with delight. Ooohhh. this tournament is going to be fun! She laughed mentally. All these humans who think they're so strong. Excitement rose in her chest and she grinned widely.
Terra stood apart from the group as they approached a blonde announcer holding a microphone and wearing sun glasses. She folded her arms over her chest smugly, looking around. Her nose twitched as she heard strange footsteps approach her from behind.

A/N: Hehehe. I am evil, leaving it off there, aren't I? Sorry for the shortness of these chapters, but my attention span is small enough to fit into a teaspoon. The fact that I can write anything at all right now is good enough for me. I'll update again soon, promise! ^_^ Oh, right, and don't forget to R&R!!!!!!!!!
