Chapter 8: Jasmine's lessons
Trunks and Goten herded Jasmine outside, leaving Gohan to finish his cleaning. Once out the door, the boys picked Jasmine up and began flying farther into the mountain range.
"Where are you taking me?!" Jasmine demanded.
"Our favorite place," Trunks answered.
"It's even better than the tree!" Goten added.
"And what are we going to do there?" she asked.
"We're going to teach you how to fly!" Goten said cheerily. Trunks grinned widely.
"I don't WANT to learn to fly!" Jasmine protested.
"It'll be easier for you to baby-sit us if you can fly with us," Trunks pointed out.
"And it's fun!" said Goten. She surrendered; once again they had her in a position where she couldn't refuse their demands. They were racing over forest and mountain terrain at a blinding speed.
They landed at the side of a small, but deep pool with a waterfall splashing down into it. "This place is beautiful!" Jasmine exclaimed. "How did you find it?"
"Gohan showed it to us, he said Dad used to bring him here," Goten answered.
"We come here all the time," Trunks added. "It's the perfect place to teach you how to fly."
Jasmine sighed. "If you insist on doing this, let's start now," she said, sitting on the ground.
"Well, first of all, you have to concentrate your ki below you..." Goten began, but Jasmine quickly interrupted him.
"What's ki?" she asked.
The boys looked at each other. Trunks scratched his head and tried to explain. "Well, it's like... energy, and it comes from inside you, and you can use it to fly and to shoot blasts."
"Like this!" Goten offered as he held his palm up. In it he formed a little ball of ki and showed it to her. She reached out with a fingertip.
"I wouldn't touch that if I were you!" Trunks said hastily. Immediately she pulled her hand away.
"How do I do that?" she asked.
"Gohan told me that you have to keep your mind clear of everything else," Goten said.
"My dad said that you just have to concentrate and will your ki to come," Trunks added.
"Of course it comes easy to us because we're Sai-" Goten began before Trunks clapped a hand over his mouth quickly.
"You're what?" Jasmine said suspiciously.
"We're experienced," Trunks recovered. "We've been handling our ki all our lives."
Their babysitter raised an eyebrow but didn't question the matter further. Instead she began to concentrate on forming ki like she had been told. She cleared her mind and willed the glowing little energy ball to appear.
Ten minutes later, the boys had given up watching and were tossing rocks into the pool. Jasmine, however, wasn't about to give in. With new determination, she tried again, focused only on making that little bit of ki.
It was a strange sensation, rather like a pleasant tingle in her fingertips. She opened her eyes, not even realizing she had closed them, and saw the golden glow between her cupped palms.
"I did it!" she exclaimed. Trunks and Goten scrambled over to see.
"Good, now we can teach you to fly," Trunks said with a nod.
"Nope, time to go back," Jasmine said as she looked at the sky. It was nearing sunset.
"Aw, do we have to?" Goten whined.
"Yes," she answered. "Now come on, let's go home."
"You'll let us teach you how to fly later, won't you?" Trunks asked.
"Of course," she assured him. The boys picked her up and flew back towards the Son house.
