A Different World
Chapter Two
The Meeting
~Thoughts of anyone~
THUD!!!! Jess dropped her spoon in her bowl and froze like a deer caught in headlights. She slowly turned around in her seat and grabbed the back of her chair. She took a minute to recover from being frightened to death and got up from her chair. She got in a fighting stance she learned from her Kung Fu teacher and tip toed over to where the noise sounded like it came from. She was very well trained in all of the martial arts including Kung Fu, Jitzu, Karate, self-defense and many other kinds of fighting techniques. Fighting was her life. Jess was strong, smart, and difficult. She walked over to where the noise was which was by her hallway closet upstairs. She stepped up her stairs quietly and threw her body against the wall. Then when she got to the corner of the hall she jumped out and quickly got in a fighting stance. Her eyes widened remarkably and her mouth hung wide open. Standing right in front of her was the whole Z gang. Goku, Vegeta, Krillin, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, and Gohan. She couldn't believe it! All of the Z warriors were right there, in her hallway! She came back to reality and concentrated on her stance. She had to play dumb. Even though she knows whom each and every single one of them are, they don't know that she knows who they are.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
"Calm down! We don't want to hurt you. We just had an accident and ended up here." Krillin said putting his hands in front of him to show no harm.
"Yea. Where ever here is." Goten commented while looking around the hallway. Jess was about to go crazy now. Goten was right in front of her and he looked hotter than ever.
"You didn't answer my question. Who are you?" She tried not to laugh and roll over on the floor and die. She was actually a good actress when needed to be.
"Oh sorry. I'm Goku, these are my son's Gohan and Goten, this is his best friend Trunks, this is his father Vegeta, and these are my friends Krillin and Piccolo." Goku gestured to each person when he said their name.
"Who are you and where are we?" Trunks asked looking Jess up and down slowly. Jess caught this movement and ground her teeth together.
"My name is Jess and you are on planet Earth. Which I am guessing right now that, by the look on your faces, your planet is also called Earth." All of the Z member's eyes widened more if possible. How'd she know that? Maybe she is psychic or something.
"How did you know that?" Jess shook her head and stood up straight. She knew they would mean her no harm. She took this time to look at what she was wearing and she blushed lightly.
"You know, you should always keep your guard up no matter what." Vegeta cocked his eyebrow and smirked deviously.
"And what tells you I'm not? Just because I am not in a fighting stance does not necessarily mean that I am not on guard." Jess smirked knowingly and Vegeta narrowed his eyes. She a mere creature talked back to the Prince of the Saiyans. He had to admit she did seem pretty smart, but just how smart?
"Oh really? And tell me, Jess, what kind of stance do you call that?"
"Well, I have my hands to my sides which makes it easy for me to guard and block attacks that are close and fast, and my feet are parted about a foot and a half apart so I can move or dodge attacks that come my way. Now you tell me, what kind of stance are you using?" Jess raised her eyebrows and didn't move an inch. Vegeta growled and flared up his ki to warn her who she is messing with. Everyone around him backed away a little except for Trunks. He stepped in front of his father and looked at Jess. He admired her greatly to actually have the guts to stand up to a muscular arrogant, and very cocky man.
"Alright. We don't want a fight to break out here. Especially an unfair one. Right father?" Vegeta growled and looked towards a wall.
"Ok. Whatever. Now how did you guys get here? In my house?"
"I don't know. First we were at Bulma's trying out a new invention and the next we came here." Goku said while shrugging his shoulders. Piccolo was right next to him meditating while standing up. He was wondering why she hasn't screamed or asked of why he was green yet. Jess looked at Goku and tried to decipher what could have happened.
"Why are you so calm. We could be killers for all you know." Piccolo commented finally getting into the conversation.
"I was taught not to panic and to know no fear when it comes to fighting." Piccolo smirked and looked at her straight in the eye.
"You were trained well. Maybe a little too well."
"What do you mean?"
"There is more to it than just being taught no fear. You know something of us." ~How'd he know? Is he reading my mind or something? I heard they could read minds. Oh man, I'm in trouble if they can. Wait, I'm talking about them in my mind now. Then they'd now I'm talking about them. Ugh! Now I'm blabbering!~ The whole gang looked at Jess as she was in deep thought. She was staring intently at Piccolo, but she was out of reality. Trunks walked up to her and snapped his fingers in front of her face. She quickly came out of her thought and grabbed his hand. She twisted his arm around his back and grabbed his other one and put him in a headlock. He was shocked. He didn't think she would pull something like this. The freaky thing was, he couldn't get out of it, and she had him pretty good. Everyone's eyes widened and they starred in complete shock, as an Earthling female was putting a half saiyan male in a headlock and actually winning.
"Hey, let. go. of me! I wasn't trying to hurt you."
"I know you didn't try to hurt me. You just evaded my personal space. I'm going to let you go now." She let him go and rubbed the back of his neck.
"You're strong for a human girl. You work out a lot?"
"Do I ever? All the time. Every chance I get. It's not hard to be able to work out when you have all the free time in the world."
"What do you mean? Don't you have parents that hassle you or something?" Goten asked while rubbing his chin in wonder. Jess looked down to the ground remembering all of the times that her mother had gone away on business trips or stayed late at work. She was a pretty busy woman, a little too busy for her children and now Jess hated her for it. She could drive her sister to the mall and a friend's house, but she can't come home and say hi to her eldest daughter. Jess clenched her fists at her sides and ground her teeth while squeezing her eyes shut. Everyone looked at her in question. They had absolutely no idea what was wrong with her. Jess realized she could make a scene any minute now and calmed down. She took deep breaths and opened her eyes. She looked up at the fighters in her hallway and they were looking skeptically at her. Jess blushed out of embarrassment and grinned sheepishly.
"Uh, sorry about that. I was just thinking about something. Heh heh." She rubbed the back of her head and turned around to hide her red face. "Umm what were you saying?"
"I said don't you have any parents that hassle you."
"Oh. Well, my dad died when I was two and my mom.. well, she is always working and I never see her. I haven't seen her in over two weeks. She just calls me and tells me that she will see me tomorrow, but I never see her." Jess frowned and looked at the ground. Tears stung the back of her eyes but she didn't let them fall. There was no way she would let them see her cry.
"I'm sorry." Jess turned around once more and smiled faintly.
"It's ok. Well, umm. do you guys need a place to stay? I mean my mom went on another business trip and won't be back for a week and my sister is sleeping over at a friend's house. She'll probably stay over there for 5 days straight." They all turned around and huddled in a circle.
"Should we take her offer? I mean it is a place to stay".
"And there will be know one here, but us." They whispered quietly and took glances at Jess every once and a while. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall beside her. She looked at her watch that was on her wrist and sighed. It was 10:26 am. The Z gang got out of their huddle and looked intently at Jess.
"What is the risk of us being seen and people going crazy?"
"Well if you leave the house, people will probably faint, run up to you and hug or kiss you, or they might just scream and run. You're really well kno- " Jess cut herself off and slapped her hand on her mouth. She almost told them that they were on a TV show.
"We're what? Was Piccolo right when he said that you know something of us?" Jess was pretty nervous just about now. She tried to take a couple of steps back, but the wall was in the way so she just pushed herself against the wall. She cleared her throat and her eyes jotted all over the place to look for an escape.
"Heh, umm. well. umm.. aha, what do you mean?" Trunks narrowed his eyes at her and took a few steps forward. Jess gulped, but kept her position against the wall.
"Is it true that you know something of us?" Trunks was using a deep dangerous voice that just yelled 'annoyed'. Jess narrowed her eyes at him and reality slipped through her hands, as she was lost in deep thought. ~ Should I tell them? I'm not sure how they will take it. Maybe they will think it is cool to be a movie star. Or maybe Vegeta will blast me into the next dimension. Oh well, they should know. ~ Jess came back to reality and pushed herself off of the wall. She crossed her arms in a way Vegeta does and put a serious look on her face.
"Ok yes it is true. I do know something of you. I know who all of you are and I know who all of your family and friends are." They all starred wide- eyed at her and their mouths were hanging to the floor. That was everyone except Vegeta.
"What makes you think that I will believe you? You could be lying." Jess smirked and lifted her nose into the air.
"Well, maybe I should name your whole family then."
"Go right ahead."
"Ok. Your wife is Bulma who is president of a company called Capsule Corporation. She has blue hair and blue eyes and has a high temper. Trunks here is your son and is the eldest of him and his sister. Her name is Bra and she looks just like her mother. You are a full-blooded saiyan when your children are only half saiyans. May I explain further?" Vegeta's eyes were just about to be hid by the top of his forehead from him narrowing his eyes so hard. He clenched his teeth in anger and he was just about to explode. Jess was just about to burst out laughing at Vegeta's appearance. She started giggling a little, but let out a few muffled laughs.
"How did you know that? Are you a witch of some kind? What is so funny?"
"Well, ok. I know exactly who each and everyone of you are. Let me name a few others so you know that I am not lying to you. Ok. Chi-Chi is Goku's wife and the strongest woman on Earth. She is a crazy cook and all she thought about was a good education for Gohan and making sure that her family was healthy. Videl is Gohan's wife and Hercule's daughter. She enjoys fighting and has black hair and blue eyes. You also had a daughter named Pan. She is so cute by the way along with Bra. Anyways, there is 18 who use to be an android and was wished human by Krillin. You guys also had a daughter named Marron. She has blonde hair and black eyes. Hmmm.. who else is there? Oh yea, there is Tien, Chaitzou, Yamucha, Master Roshi, Oolong, and Puar. But don't know much about them except that Master Roshi is a complete pervert, Yamucha is an ugly little wimp, Tien has three eyes, and Chaitzou is pale and looks like a doll." Jess panted after saying all of that and put her hands on her knees and hunched over. Everyone was staring in wonder at all of the information she just said.
"How do you know all of that?" Gohan squeaked out.
"Well, I am not the only one who knows it. You guys are on a TV show called DragonBallZ. There's also Dragonball which is based when Goku is 12 years old and Bulma is 16 and they meet a lot of people. And there is also DragonBallGT, which is about you guys in the future. Like when Vegeta is 63 years old or something. So that is how I know you. I watch your show everyday, it is absolutely my favorite."
"Who's your favorite character?" Goten asked raising his eyebrow deviously.
"Why you all are."
"You know what I mean. Who is your favorite?"
"You really want to know?" Goten shook his head. Jess wasn't sure if she should tell him that it was he. Maybe she would say someone unexpected. Yea, that's what she'd do.
"My favorite character is. Mrs. Briefs." Everyone fell over anime style and sweat dropped at the same time.
"Are you serious?"
"Yup. She is sort of like me. She is blonde, and crazy. But I'm not a lunatic, and I don't space out to La La Land everyday. And I'm never that cheery."
"Uh, yea sure. Well, we've agreed to stay here for as long as we can. Is that ok with you?"
"Sure. It's not every day that you get to have your favorite TV show characters stay over at your house for a little while. Are any of you hungry?" As soon as Goku heard the word hungry, he ran over to Jess grabbed the collar of her shirt.
"Food? Where?"
"Ahh. let me go! I can make some." Goku quickly let go of Jess and grinned sheepishly while putting his hand on the back of his head.
"Sorry. I let my stomach take over there a second. Are you sure you have enough food?"
"Oh yea! You kidding! I like live off of food! Well of course I do, I need to eat to survive. Durrr!" They all looked at Jess like she was crazy. She was talking to herself again.
"Let's go downstairs. What do you guys want?"
"I don't care. As long as it is food." Krillin licked his lips and rubbed his hands together as if he was trying to get them warm. They all followed Jess down the stairs and into the kitchen to have a well-deserved breakfast.
