Chapter Five
The Spar
Jess woke up around 3:30 in the morning and laid in bed for a little. She had the weirdest dream that the Z gang had come to her house and were staying for a while. She laughed a little and decided to get up. She walked over to her bathroom and opened up the door. After about twenty minutes, she came out clad only in a towel. She changed into a pair of spandex shorts with a spandex sports bra. She put her hair up into a tight bun and inserted her feet into her training sneakers that weighed fifty pounds each. Jess left her room and strolled down to her training room in the basement. The basement was the size of the whole house. Perfect for training in. She had a punching bag, a treadmill, a bowflex, and some weights. She put on some gloves that were twenty-five pounds each and some wristbands that were also twenty-five pounds each. Jess warmed up by doing about three hundred push-ups and sit-ups. Then she got down to doing some kicks and punches, and later fighting an imaginary opponent. Vegeta woke up to the sound of someone making a loud racket. Remember that he has sensitive hearing and he doesn't sleep like a rock like Goku does. He glanced at his clock and saw that it was 5:14 am. He got up and crossed his arms while pondering out of his room and down the stairs towards the noise. Vegeta looked around the kitchen, dining room, and the living room and saw nothing. He saw a door in the hallway that he never looked in yet and opened it up. The sound was definitely coming from down there. He heard the sound of a girl huffing and yelling. He walked down the stairs and stopped midway shocked. Jess was punching and kicking her punching bag while yelling at someone that wasn't there. He grew amused at what she was saying and how she was reacting when the punching bag came flying back towards her after she hit it. He just stood there watching her as she made the punching bag swing that way and this way. His eyes widened slightly as she punched right through the bag. Sand poured down the sides of the bag and onto her arm. Jess was panting and her eyes widened remarkably.
"Oh great! Now I have to buy a new one. You stupid piece of shit! Grrrrrrrrrr! Oh well, I'll just have to fight myself." She turned around to get in a stance when she saw a dark figure on the stairs.
"Who are you?" Jess said as she got in a fighting stance.
"Provo. You actually went through the bag. You have a lot of potential for a fighter."
"Huh? Vegeta?"
"What?" Jess's eyes widened a lot and she almost fell over. So that wasn't a dream she had. It really was true.
"Umm. how did you find me?"
"You were making the biggest racket in the world and I came to see what it was." He walked down the rest of the stairs and checked out all of her equipment. Then he wondered over to her and checked out what she was wearing.
"You have weights on those shoes and gloves."
"Yea. And my wristbands."
"How heavy?"
"Fifty pounds on each shoe and my wristbands and gloves are each twenty- five pounds."
"Not bad, that is for a human girl your age."
"Not really. I know I can handle more, but it's kind of hard to find shoes, gloves, and wristbands with excess weight on them around here."
"Oh. Do you need an opponent?"
"Yes."
"Ok. Let's have our spar. What do you say?"
"Sure, but let's go out in the woods, so nothing in here gets destroyed."
"Fine." They walked up the stairs and Jess turned off the lights. "Give me five minutes." Jess nodded her head and Vegeta ran up the stairs to his room. Five minutes later, Vegeta came down the stairs in his spandex training clothes and strolled over to the door. He opened it up and gestured for her to follow. Jess followed him and closed the door shut. She turned around and stopped dead in her tracks, as Vegeta was right in front of her with his hand extended towards her.
"You ready?" Jess nodded and took his hand. He wrapped his arms around her body and levitated into the air. Then he took off into the morning light. Jess was a little jumpy at first, but then started to enjoy the wind in her face and the feeling of being free.
"Where are the woods?" Vegeta asked while watching her enjoy herself.
"Over there." She pointed to a little dark spot below them. Vegeta dove towards the little spot, expecting Jess to scream or hold on tighter to him, but she just smiled and laughed happily. He landed on the ground and left Jess go of his strong grip. She admired the beautiful place that was just about to turn into a battlefield.
"Are you ready yet?" Vegeta was starting to sound annoyed.
"Yup, let's go. Wait. I can't do ki balls or anything like that, so those don't count. Got it?"
"Fine." They both got in a stance and eyed each other up. They charged each other and threw a couple of kicks and punches. Vegeta punched Jess in the face, but she countered him with a kick to the chin. They both flew back a few feet, and landed on the ground. Jess jumped in front of him and threw a number of punches to his body. She hit him in the gut and he clutched his stomach. Then she kicked him in the chin and he hopped up and down holding onto his chin. She took that to her advantage and punched him right in the face with a large portion of strength. Vegeta went flying back about seven feet and landed on his back. He sat upright and wiped blood coming from his lip.
"Nice. You actually made me bleed. You are very worthy of being a fighter."
"Thanks, but I already know that. I am very worthy of being more than a fighter." Vegeta chuckled and stood up. He got back in his fighting stance and they charged each other again. Jess went to kick him in the face, but he caught her leg and punched her in the face. She fell to the ground and Vegeta went right after her.
"Here's a tip. Never give your opponent a breather unless you need one too." He punched her in the gut a couple of times and then in the face. Jess spat blood out of her mouth and it ran down the side of her chin. She narrowed her eyes at Vegeta and flipped them over so she was on top. Vegeta was shocked. He never saw such a move before.
"I got that one from wrestling. And here's a tip for you. Always keep your opponent's legs forced on the ground. Never let them jut lay around." Jess smirked and Vegeta just scowled. She punched him in the face a couple of times and jumped in the air and elbowed him in the stomach. Vegeta doubled over on the ground in pain and took big gulps of air. Jess panted and got off of him.
"You done mumbling yet?" Jess asked with her arms crossed and a smirk playing her face. Vegeta growled and stood up.
"You have learned well. Your teachers must have been pretty good, but not good enough." Jess was confused now.
"I have been holding back on you, so as not to hurt you too bad."
"That's nice, but I already know. You have a lot more power than I do. You are a legendary super saiyan and I can't compete with that."
"It's good that you know that. Would you like to see?" Vegeta didn't know why he was asking, but felt like he had to change to get off some stress.
"Sure." Vegeta nodded his head and stood in a certain stance meant for powering up. He yelled and huge aura was flying around him. It flashed from blue to gold in a matter of seconds. Jess stared in awe at the super saiyan. Even though he was already married and older than she was, he was pretty cute, especially as a super saiyan. But she liked Goten, even if she never admitted it to him or anyone, except for Lexy.
"Are you surprised to feel so much power?"
"Hmph. You are so self-conceited. But yes, I have never felt so much power in my life. Well, I have to say, I think I am the strongest person on this Earth and I don't have even half of that power. I beat all of my teachers and I have entered competitions."
"At such a young age?"
"Yea. Know one thought I could do it, but I showed them. I bet you've never seen a seven year old girl kick a thirty-four year old guy's ass before, huh?"
"Not a girl."
"Yea. That's what I thought. So are we going to continue?" Jess had a gleam in her eyes. Vegeta grunted and they each took their fighting stance once more.
"May I ask a favor?" Vegeta nodded.
"Can you fight me in your super saiyan form? I want to know what it's like."
"If that's what you want. But you'll deal with the consequences."
Back at Jess's House
Trunks and Goten both woke up to Goku's snoring. They put pillows over their heads and sighed. Goten looked over at the clock on the nightstand beside his bed and saw that it was 9:27 a.m. He yawned and looked over at Trunks in the bed beside his.
"Yo. Trunks! You awake right?"
"Are you kidding me Goten? Your dad snores as loud as my mom screams."
"I know. I don't know how my mom handles it."
"Maybe she wears ear plugs."
"Maybe. So what should we do?"
"Let's go see if anyone else is awake."
"Ok." They got up from their beds and opened the door to their bedroom. They crept over to Goku's room and cracked the door open. Krillin had earplugs in his ears and a pillow over his head and Goku was sprawled out all over his bed and snoring like an idiot. The boys stifled a giggle and closed the door. Trunks tip toed over to his dad's room and opened up the door a notch. He was gone.
"Hmm. maybe he's in the bathroom." They closed the door and walked over to Jess's door. Goten opened it up a few inches and peered inside. She was nowhere to be found.
"Strange. She isn't in her room either." The boys closed her door as well and roamed over to Gohan's room. They opened the door and saw Gohan rolling all over his bed. Probably having a dream. They closed the door and moved on to Piccolo's. Trunks opened the door and Goten peeked inside. Piccolo's eyes opened at the sound of the door being opened and the boys froze.
"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?"
"Yes, but we were just seeing if anyone was awake. And my dad and Jess aren't in their rooms."
"Maybe they went downstairs."
"We'll check oh and sorry for interrupting whatever you were doing. Bye." They closed the door and took a deep breath.
"That was close."
"Yea. Let's go check downstairs for them."
"Ok." The two boys walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. They looked in the living room, bathroom, closet, dining room, laundry room, everywhere. And still no sign of them.
"What do you think happened to them?"
"I don't know." Just then, the front door opened and Vegeta came stalking into the kitchen holding Jess in his arms. They were both pretty beat up, but you could tell Vegeta was the victor in the spar. Both of the boy's eyes widened and they ran over to her.
"What happened?" Goten asked being careful not to touch her no matter how much he wanted to.
"We sparred ok? Just someone help me set her down." Trunks got a chair from the kitchen table and draped a towel over it so as not to get blood on it. Vegeta set her down on the chair and demanded for Goten to get one of his father's Senzu Beans he always carries along with him. Goten ran up the stairs and into his father's room as asked. Vegeta slapped her face twice and Jess began to stir. Her eyes opened a little but closed again.
"Get a glass of cold water." Trunks ran to the faucet and poured water into a glass and brought it over to Jess. Vegeta took it from Trunks and threw the water on Jess's face. She opened her eyes wide and began to shiver.
"Jess? Jess? Are you ok?" Trunks patted her cheek a few times to try and keep her awake.
"Huh? What? Where am I?"
"You're in your kitchen. Do you remember what happened?"
"Yea Trunks. I was only knocked out, I'm not suffering memory loss. Oww! Ahhh!" Jess coughed up a little bit of blood and saliva and Trunks got her another glass of water and a large bowl to spit in.
"Here. Swoosh and spit. My mom always made me do this." Jess took the glass of water and swooshed it in her mouth. Then she spit it out in the bowl. She did that a couple of times and then laid her head back on the chair.
"My right shoulder is dislocated, I have a couple of broken ribs, and my left ankle is sprained."
"We should still check just in case. Can you get up?" Jess nodded her head. Trunks helped her up and Jess pushed him off of her slightly.
"I can do it myself." Just then Goten came running down the stairs with a Senzu Bean in his hand and saw Jess standing in the kitchen.
"Jess! Are you ok?"
"Hold on Goten." She dragged herself over to the corner of the wall in the kitchen and ran her arm into it. She screamed at the top of her lungs and you could hear two big pops and bones crushing together in her arm. Jess fell back down to the ground and tried to stay conscious while still trying to catch her breath. She was still yelling slightly and moaning loudly. Everyone came running down the stairs after hearing the scream and ran in the kitchen to see Jess and Vegeta covered in blood.
"What happened here?"
"Vegeta and Jess had a spar and Jess just relocated her shoulder."
"Oh, are you guys ok?"
"We're fine Kakarott. Why don't you go back to snoring your head off and drooling all over your pillow." Goku blushed and put his hand behind his head while grinning sheepishly.
"That's ok Vegeta. I'm done sleeping for this morning. Wait, I can give you a Senzu Bean Jess."
"I already have one dad."
"How did you get that son?"
"I stole it from your pocket while you were snoring."
"Oh. Hey! What did I tell you about that? Don't steal. It isn't nice."
"I know dad, but Jess really needs it."
"I know, but still- "Just give it to her already." Vegeta was getting annoyed with their ramblings. All they ever did was babble, those stupid idiots.
"Right." Goten kneeled down next to Jess and lifted her chin. "Eat this. It'll help you." Goten put it in her mouth and Jess chewed it. Her body started to heal and she felt rejuvenated. Her cuts and bruises vanished and she felt refreshed and stronger.
"Thanks."
"Sure. You feel better?"
"Yup. I feel better than I did when I woke up." She stood up with Goten's help even though she didn't need it and smiled.
"Man, I never knew you guys had such power when in Super Saiyan form." Everyone's eyes widened except for her and Vegeta's and they're mouths hung wide open.
"You fought my dad when in Super Saiyan form?"
"Yea."
"Are you crazy?"
"No. It was fun even though I lost."
"Well, it is kinda fun to fight a Super Saiyan. Me and Trunks do it all the time."
"Yea. Just because I ma a girl and 13 years old doesn't mean I can't handle myself. And Vegeta knows that first hand or else he wouldn't have cuts and bruises all over the place, huh?" They all looked at Vegeta and all of the gashes he had on his body. She really did get in a lot of good shots.
"Man, you must be good. Not even Krillin can give Vegeta that many gashes and bruises." Gohan said while looking over towards Krillin. Krillin just frowned and narrowed his eyes at Gohan. "I mean it. You really can't."
"Hmph." Krillin crossed his arms and looked away.
"Well, thanks, I guess. Aren't you going to eat a Senzu Bean Vegeta?"
"They're for the weak." Jess smirked and grabbed a Senzu Bean from Goku's pouch. She extended her hand towards Vegeta and smiled.
"Well, then here you go." Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her and scowled.
"I'm not weak."
"Who cares if you're not weak? These just make you feel better. It doesn't make you weak; they just make you recover faster. Like a regen- tank." Vegeta's eyes widened and he gave her a confused look.
"How did you know about a regen-tank? They were only on Frieza's ship."
"I know. I know all about Frieza and what he did to planets and his slaves. He's a very sick bastard and I hope he's rotting in hell." Vegeta smirked and ruffled her hair.
"Good. I do too. Well, I guess I can just have one Senzu Bean. I'm not weak, it's just that I don't feel like looking all crummy when her friend comes." Vegeta snatched the Senzu Bean from Jess's hand and threw it in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed it and all of his injuries faded. He looked better than he did before he sparred Jess.
"Oh yea. Well, my friend Lexy is coming soon, so I think you guys should get ready." They all nodded and ran up the stairs to see who got the shower first except for Jess and Vegeta. They weren't the running types.
"You can have the shower first. I take a while." Vegeta grunted in agreement and walked into his room to the bathroom. Jess entered her room and picked up the phone by her nightstand. She dialed 7 numbers and heard a ringing in the speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hey Brad, its Jess."
"Oh hey Jess. What's up?"
"Nothing much. Is Lexy around?"
"Yea, hold on." Jess heard some rustling and Brad scream Lexy's name.
"She'll be right down. So how's it going? Any new boyfriends?"
"It's going fine, and no new boyfriends. Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason. Just that, it's hard to think that someone as beautiful as you don't have a boyfriend. I mean, I just broke up with my girl last week."
"Really? I'm sorry to hear."
"Doesn't matter, she was a whore anyway. She always kept cheating on me. So, maybe you and I can do something sometime?"
"I don't know. I'm kinda busy with a lot of things now. My mom just went on another vacation that she calls a business trip and left me and Becca here to fend for ourselves again."
"Oh. Well, maybe another time. Oh here's Lexy. Nice talking to you."
"And you too. I'll see you later."
"Hello?"
"Hey Lexy."
"Hey Jess. What's up?"
"Oh I wanted to ask you when you were coming over."
"Well, whenever. I'll surprise you."
"Ok. Just give me time o get ready. I'm still in my work out clothes."
"Oh. Training I see. Maybe we can have a fight later and have your surprise watch us."
"Maybe. Hehehe. Well, ok. I gotta get ready. Oh and wait. Did you know your brother sort of asked me out on a date?"
"Really? Brad? But I thought he had a girlfriend."
"He did, but they broke up last week."
"Ohhh, well what did you say?"
"I said I was busy with my mom being gone and everything."
"Why? I think you guys would make such a great couple."
"Well, I sort of like someone else. You know that."
"Oh wait, Goten right? Jess he is a fictional character. My brother is real, you can actually date him."
"Well, you're in for a surprise." Jess whispered to herself so Lexy couldn't hear.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing. I'll see you when you get here."
"Ok. Wait, am I sleeping over?"
"Yea. Maybe you can for a few days. That would give us time to train and fight each other."
"Ok. You know I love fighting. I can kick anyone's ass."
"Yea yea. Except mine that is."
"Hmph. Well, fine, I'll pack for a few days. Bye."
"Bye." Jess hung up the phone and thought about what will happen when her best friend got here.

The Spar

"How heavy?"
"Fifty pounds on each shoe and my wristbands and gloves are each twenty- five pounds."
"Not bad, that is for a human girl your age."
"Not really. I know I can handle more, but it's kind of hard to find shoes, gloves, and wristbands with excess weight on them around here."
"Oh. Do you need an opponent?"
"Yes."
"Ok. Let's have our spar. What do you say?"
"Sure, but let's go out in the woods, so nothing in here gets destroyed."
"Fine." They walked up the stairs and Jess turned off the lights. "Give me five minutes." Jess nodded her head and Vegeta ran up the stairs to his room. Five minutes later, Vegeta came down the stairs in his spandex training clothes and strolled over to the door. He opened it up and gestured for her to follow. Jess followed him and closed the door shut. She turned around and stopped dead in her tracks, as Vegeta was right in front of her with his hand extended towards her.
"You ready?" Jess nodded and took his hand. He wrapped his arms around her body and levitated into the air. Then he took off into the morning light. Jess was a little jumpy at first, but then started to enjoy the wind in her face and the feeling of being free.
"Where are the woods?" Vegeta asked while watching her enjoy herself.
"Over there." She pointed to a little dark spot below them. Vegeta dove towards the little spot, expecting Jess to scream or hold on tighter to him, but she just smiled and laughed happily. He landed on the ground and left Jess go of his strong grip. She admired the beautiful place that was just about to turn into a battlefield.
"Are you ready yet?" Vegeta was starting to sound annoyed.
"Yup, let's go. Wait. I can't do ki balls or anything like that, so those don't count. Got it?"
"Fine." They both got in a stance and eyed each other up. They charged each other and threw a couple of kicks and punches. Vegeta punched Jess in the face, but she countered him with a kick to the chin. They both flew back a few feet, and landed on the ground. Jess jumped in front of him and threw a number of punches to his body. She hit him in the gut and he clutched his stomach. Then she kicked him in the chin and he hopped up and down holding onto his chin. She took that to her advantage and punched him right in the face with a large portion of strength. Vegeta went flying back about seven feet and landed on his back. He sat upright and wiped blood coming from his lip.
"Nice. You actually made me bleed. You are very worthy of being a fighter."
"Thanks, but I already know that. I am very worthy of being more than a fighter." Vegeta chuckled and stood up. He got back in his fighting stance and they charged each other again. Jess went to kick him in the face, but he caught her leg and punched her in the face. She fell to the ground and Vegeta went right after her.
"Here's a tip. Never give your opponent a breather unless you need one too." He punched her in the gut a couple of times and then in the face.

"Not a girl."

"May I ask a favor?" Vegeta nodded.
"Can you fight me in your super saiyan form? I want to know what it's like."
"If that's what you want. But you'll deal with the consequences."
Back at Jess's House
Trunks and Goten both woke up to Goku's snoring. They put pillows over their heads and sighed. Goten looked over at the clock on the nightstand beside his bed and saw that it was 9:27 a.m. He yawned and looked over at Trunks in the bed beside his.
"Yo. Trunks! You awake right?"
"Are you kidding me Goten? Your dad snores as loud as my mom screams."
"I know. I don't know how my mom handles it."
"Maybe she wears ear plugs."
"Maybe. So what should we do?"
"Let's go see if anyone else is awake."
"Ok." They got up from their beds and opened the door to their bedroom. They crept over to Goku's room and cracked the door open. Krillin had earplugs in his ears and a pillow over his head and Goku was sprawled out all over his bed and snoring like an idiot. The boys stifled a giggle and closed the door. Trunks tip toed over to his dad's room and opened up the door a notch. He was gone.
"Hmm. maybe he's in the bathroom." They closed the door and walked over to Jess's door. Goten opened it up a few inches and peered inside. She was nowhere to be found.
"Strange. She isn't in her room either." The boys closed her door as well and roamed over to Gohan's room. They opened the door and saw Gohan rolling all over his bed. Probably having a dream. They closed the door and moved on to Piccolo's. Trunks opened the door and Goten peeked inside. Piccolo's eyes opened at the sound of the door being opened and the boys froze.
"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?"
"Yes, but we were just seeing if anyone was awake. And my dad and Jess aren't in their rooms."
"Maybe they went downstairs."
"We'll check oh and sorry for interrupting whatever you were doing. Bye." They closed the door and took a deep breath.
"That was close."
"Yea. Let's go check downstairs for them."
"Ok." The two boys walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. They looked in the living room, bathroom, closet, dining room, laundry room, everywhere. And still no sign of them.
"What do you think happened to them?"
"I don't know." Just then, the front door opened and Vegeta came stalking into the kitchen holding Jess in his arms. They were both pretty beat up, but you could tell Vegeta was the victor in the spar. Both of the boy's eyes widened and they ran over to her.
"What happened?" Goten asked being careful not to touch her no matter how much he wanted to.
"We sparred ok? Just someone help me set her down." Trunks got a chair from the kitchen table and draped a towel over it so as not to get blood on it. Vegeta set her down on the chair and demanded for Goten to get one of his father's Senzu Beans he always carries along with him. Goten ran up the stairs and into his father's room as asked. Vegeta slapped her face twice and Jess began to stir. Her eyes opened a little but closed again.
"Get a glass of cold water." Trunks ran to the faucet and poured water into a glass and brought it over to Jess. Vegeta took it from Trunks and threw the water on Jess's face. She opened her eyes wide and began to shiver.
"Jess? Jess? Are you ok?" Trunks patted her cheek a few times to try and keep her awake.
"Huh? What? Where am I?"
"You're in your kitchen. Do you remember what happened?"
"Yea Trunks. I was only knocked out, I'm not suffering memory loss. Oww! Ahhh!" Jess coughed up a little bit of blood and saliva and Trunks got her another glass of water and a large bowl to spit in.
"Here. Swoosh and spit. My mom always made me do this." Jess took the glass of water and swooshed it in her mouth. Then she spit it out in the bowl. She did that a couple of times and then laid her head back on the chair.
"My right shoulder is dislocated, I have a couple of broken ribs, and my left ankle is sprained."
"We should still check just in case. Can you get up?" Jess nodded her head. Trunks helped her up and Jess pushed him off of her slightly.
"I can do it myself." Just then Goten came running down the stairs with a Senzu Bean in his hand and saw Jess standing in the kitchen.
"Jess! Are you ok?"
"Hold on Goten." She dragged herself over to the corner of the wall in the kitchen and ran her arm into it. She screamed at the top of her lungs and you could hear two big pops and bones crushing together in her arm. Jess fell back down to the ground and tried to stay conscious while still trying to catch her breath. She was still yelling slightly and moaning loudly. Everyone came running down the stairs after hearing the scream and ran in the kitchen to see Jess and Vegeta covered in blood.
"What happened here?"
"Vegeta and Jess had a spar and Jess just relocated her shoulder."
"Oh, are you guys ok?"
"We're fine Kakarott. Why don't you go back to snoring your head off and drooling all over your pillow." Goku blushed and put his hand behind his head while grinning sheepishly.
"That's ok Vegeta. I'm done sleeping for this morning. Wait, I can give you a Senzu Bean Jess."
"I already have one dad."
"How did you get that son?"
"I stole it from your pocket while you were snoring."
"Oh. Hey! What did I tell you about that? Don't steal. It isn't nice."
"I know dad, but Jess really needs it."
"I know, but still- "Just give it to her already." Vegeta was getting annoyed with their ramblings. All they ever did was babble, those stupid idiots.
"Right." Goten kneeled down next to Jess and lifted her chin. "Eat this. It'll help you." Goten put it in her mouth and Jess chewed it. Her body started to heal and she felt rejuvenated. Her cuts and bruises vanished and she felt refreshed and stronger.
"Thanks."
"Sure. You feel better?"
"Yup. I feel better than I did when I woke up." She stood up with Goten's help even though she didn't need it and smiled.
"Man, I never knew you guys had such power when in Super Saiyan form." Everyone's eyes widened except for her and Vegeta's and they're mouths hung wide open.
"You fought my dad when in Super Saiyan form?"
"Yea."
"Are you crazy?"
"No. It was fun even though I lost."
"Well, it is kinda fun to fight a Super Saiyan. Me and Trunks do it all the time."
"Yea. Just because I ma a girl and 13 years old doesn't mean I can't handle myself. And Vegeta knows that first hand or else he wouldn't have cuts and bruises all over the place, huh?" They all looked at Vegeta and all of the gashes he had on his body. She really did get in a lot of good shots.
"Man, you must be good. Not even Krillin can give Vegeta that many gashes and bruises." Gohan said while looking over towards Krillin. Krillin just frowned and narrowed his eyes at Gohan. "I mean it. You really can't."
"Hmph." Krillin crossed his arms and looked away.
"Well, thanks, I guess. Aren't you going to eat a Senzu Bean Vegeta?"
"They're for the weak." Jess smirked and grabbed a Senzu Bean from Goku's pouch. She extended her hand towards Vegeta and smiled.
"Well, then here you go." Vegeta narrowed his eyes at her and scowled.
"I'm not weak."
"Who cares if you're not weak? These just make you feel better. It doesn't make you weak; they just make you recover faster. Like a regen- tank." Vegeta's eyes widened and he gave her a confused look.
"How did you know about a regen-tank? They were only on Frieza's ship."
"I know. I know all about Frieza and what he did to planets and his slaves. He's a very sick bastard and I hope he's rotting in hell." Vegeta smirked and ruffled her hair.
"Good. I do too. Well, I guess I can just have one Senzu Bean. I'm not weak, it's just that I don't feel like looking all crummy when her friend comes." Vegeta snatched the Senzu Bean from Jess's hand and threw it in his mouth. He chewed and swallowed it and all of his injuries faded. He looked better than he did before he sparred Jess.
"Oh yea. Well, my friend Lexy is coming soon, so I think you guys should get ready." They all nodded and ran up the stairs to see who got the shower first except for Jess and Vegeta. They weren't the running types.
"You can have the shower first. I take a while." Vegeta grunted in agreement and walked into his room to the bathroom. Jess entered her room and picked up the phone by her nightstand. She dialed 7 numbers and heard a ringing in the speaker.
"Hello?"
"Hey Brad, its Jess."
"Oh hey Jess. What's up?"
"Nothing much. Is Lexy around?"
"Yea, hold on." Jess heard some rustling and Brad scream Lexy's name.
"She'll be right down. So how's it going? Any new boyfriends?"
"It's going fine, and no new boyfriends. Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason. Just that, it's hard to think that someone as beautiful as you don't have a boyfriend. I mean, I just broke up with my girl last week."
"Really? I'm sorry to hear."
"Doesn't matter, she was a whore anyway. She always kept cheating on me. So, maybe you and I can do something sometime?"
"I don't know. I'm kinda busy with a lot of things now. My mom just went on another vacation that she calls a business trip and left me and Becca here to fend for ourselves again."
"Oh. Well, maybe another time. Oh here's Lexy. Nice talking to you."
"And you too. I'll see you later."
"Hello?"
"Hey Lexy."
"Hey Jess. What's up?"
"Oh I wanted to ask you when you were coming over."
"Well, whenever. I'll surprise you."
"Ok. Just give me time o get ready. I'm still in my work out clothes."
"Oh. Training I see. Maybe we can have a fight later and have your surprise watch us."
"Maybe. Hehehe. Well, ok. I gotta get ready. Oh and wait. Did you know your brother sort of asked me out on a date?"
"Really? Brad? But I thought he had a girlfriend."
"He did, but they broke up last week."
"Ohhh, well what did you say?"
"I said I was busy with my mom being gone and everything."
"Why? I think you guys would make such a great couple."
"Well, I sort of like someone else. You know that."
"Oh wait, Goten right? Jess he is a fictional character. My brother is real, you can actually date him."
"Well, you're in for a surprise." Jess whispered to herself so Lexy couldn't hear.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing. I'll see you when you get here."
"Ok. Wait, am I sleeping over?"
"Yea. Maybe you can for a few days. That would give us time to train and fight each other."
"Ok. You know I love fighting. I can kick anyone's ass."
"Yea yea. Except mine that is."
"Hmph. Well, fine, I'll pack for a few days. Bye."
"Bye." Jess hung up the phone and thought about what will happen when her best friend got here.
