Sorry all my chapters are so short. I'll try to make this one a bit longer. Bon appetite!!

ChickFlick Chapter 5

They had trained longer and harder than ever that day. Eighteen let herself into her block of flats by the side door and forced herself to climb the stairs for exercise. She reached her room; flat number 18. :) . She walked in, dumped her stuff on the floor and flopped down on her bed. 'Only a quick ten minute rest...' she promised herself. And within two minutes she was asleep. [NOTE: ~ ~ ~ = dream.]
~ ~ ~ There was Krillin, hanging in chains attatched to his wrists and to the wall, with a prison ball around his ankle.
"Krillin..." she whispered, but he seemed not to hear her. Then suddenly the others appeared beside him, all chained as he was. There was a few seconds of silence, then in unison, all the heads turned to her and said
"Eighteen... what have you done?" Their voices were slow and dead, like there was no energy left in their bodies... ~ ~ ~
Eighteen jerked out of her dream. Her whole body was wracked with shivers and tears were streaming down her face.
The people in her dream had had no eyes.

Bulma had slumped into an armchair as soon as she reached her home. She had tried everything to ward off sleep; a hot shower, steaming mugs of coffee... but eventually it overtook her, and she started to dream...
~ ~ ~ Vegita and Trunks wanted to show her something. They laughingly told her to cover her eyes and led her away by her hands. They walked for some time, and she kept asking them where they were going, but they did not answer. Finally they stopped and told her to open her eyes. She did so and blinked; it was dark. She saw a flash of two mischievous Saiyajin grins, and then the two guys disappeared into thin air. She tried to call their names but nothing came out. She looked around. She was in a dark forest, and there was lightening flashing through the trees. It was very windy. She tried to move her arms and legs. Nothing happened. She panicked. Suddenly something jumped out of a tree on top of her... ~ ~ ~
And she awoke.
Her heart was thumping in her ears. 'It's only a dream, it's only a dream...' she kept telling herself. But it was a long time before she drifted back to sleep.

"But Muuuum! I don't wanna go to bed, I'm not tired!" said Pan, even as she tried unsuccessfully to stifle a huge yawn. Videl, smiling fondly, tucked her into her bed and said goodnight. She left the room and closed the door. After a few minutes, Pan shot out a ball of energy and her bedside lamp clicked out and left her in darkness. She rolled over and closed her eyes...
~ ~ ~ She was flying somewhere, in a hurry, she didn't know where. She saw a lake beneath her and went down to get a drink. She dunked her head under the water and opened her eyes. She could see the back of Cell through the water. He was vigorously blasting energy at something below him. She didn't know what or who it was, but something inside of her knew that she wanted to protect it. She blasted a Kahmehahmeha at him powerfully... but nothing happened. She looked at her hands in horror. Cell turned around and gave her an evil grin and she fell headfirst into the water towards him... ~ ~ ~
Her body jerked and woke her up. She was tense for a second, but then relaxed when she realised where she was. She looked at her hands intently, and, on seeing that everything was as it should be, she pulled the covers up to her chin, held her teddy close and tried to go back to sleep.
* * * * *
After Videl had tucked Pan in, she started getting ready for bed herself. She slowly and tiredly sank onto her bed, and was soon asleep.
~ ~ ~ She was sitting at the table with Pan. All was quiet. Then, quite suddenly, the door burst open. Gohan strode in, grabbed Pan by the arm and started to drag her away. Videl looked down, and horrified, saw that she was bound to her chair by a strong, thick rope. Gohan and Pan were out the door already. She heard energy blasts being fired. She looked down again and saw that the ropes binding her had transformed into a single, bright green python. Its tongue flicked her chin and its red, glowing eyes burned into hers. There was a scream from outside. The python began to twist tighter... tighter... ~ ~ ~
Suddenly she woke up, her eyes wide with fear. She knew it was only a dream, but she still couldn't help going into Pan's room to check on her before trying to get some more sleep.

Chichi was the tiredest of all the group. After all, she had been training most of the last night as well as all day. She lay greatfully in her bed and let herself be carried out into the ocean by the waves of sleep.
~ ~ ~ She was in the air, floating in some pinkish-golden clouds. Gohan, Goku and Goten appeared in front of her, laughed, and ran away. She laughed as well and gave chase. They got further and further away from her, until they were completely enveloped by the clouds, and she was just following the sound of their voices, laughing, urging her on... without warning, the clouds ended and she stumbled over the edge of a cliff. The guys had disappeared. She didn't seem to be able to fly, but she floated slowly downwards and came to rest in a metal chair. Cell was standing in front of her, beside a machine.
"I have been waiting for you." He said with an evil smirk. He pressed a button on his machine and metal bands sprung up around her, binding her at her ankles, just below her knees, around her torso, her wrists and her neck. Cell pressed another button on his machine and she began to crumple... ~ ~ ~
Without warning, she awoke. She lay there for a few seconds, then threw the cover off and sprinted out of her house to the gym. She hurriedly set the battle machine into practice mode and fired a beam of energy at the target. She sighed with relief. She still had her powers. But instead of walking, she decided to fly back to her house; just in case.

Yep, that woz definitely longer that time. Next chapter coming out soon!
