Usagi opened her eyes. The five-year old had had a hard time sleeping all night. She was too excited to sleep. She was going to be starting her first day of school the next day. Her mother hadn't let either of her brothers go to school until they were in high school but she and her brothers had convinced their mother otherwise. She looked over at her clock, which read 6:45. She rubbed her eyes with her hands.

Chi-Chi opened the door to her daughter's room to see that she was already awake. "Hi sweetie, it's time to get ready. School starts at 8:00 and you need to take a bath." Chi-Chi left Usagi's room to go to the bathroom. She began to run the water into the tub.

Usagi climbed out of bed and left her room. She noticed someone standing in the shadow of the living room. "Who's there?" Usagi was a very skittish girl.

The figure walked out from the shadow and revealed itself. "Its just me Usagi."

Usagi smiled. She ran to her father and hugged him. "Hi daddy." She wrapped her tail around his leg. She only came up to a little below his waste.

"Good morning. Today's the big day huh?" Goku was going to miss having his daughter around all day and he was sure she was going to miss being around him. She would spend most of her day watching him train.

"Yep. I can't wait. Gohan says it's gonna be fun."

"Well Gohan's right about that, now why don't you go take your bath. I'm sure it's ready for you."

"Ok" Usagi chirped. She let go of her father and skipped off to the bathroom. When she entered, her mother had the tub full of blue sparkling.

"OK, when you're done just get dressed and I'll do your hair then get breakfast for you." Chi-Chi loved having a daughter. She especially loved being able to do her hair. Usagi had unusually smooth hair for a saiyan though.

"K." Usagi smiled wide. She was always a chipper little thing. She watched as her mother left the room then climbed into the bathtub.

The water was just the way she liked it. Luke warm. She hated it when it was too hot because it would always turn her skin red. When Usagi was finished taking her bath she drained the tub and dried herself off. She wrapped the towel around her body and walked to her room. She was excited about putting her school uniform on. The uniform was a red and black plad dress.

Chi-Chi opened the door to Usagi's bedroom just as she was finishing up getting dressed. "Are you ready for me to do your hair yet?"

Usagi turned around. "Yep."

"Ok come sit on my lap." Chi-Chi sat down on Usagi's bed and began to put her daughter's hair up into two odangos.

"OWIE!!" Chi-Chi pulled a little too hard with the brush and pull Usagi's hair.

"I'm sorry dear. Hold still so I can do this."

"But it hurts."

"The more you hold still the sooner it will be." This happened every morning. It was really hard for Usagi to sit still so when Chi-Chi would try to do something with her hair, it would end up being pulled. "There, all done."

Usagi jumped off of her mother's lap and ran down to the kitchen where her father was already at the table waiting for breakfast. "Is breakfast ready yet?" Usagi could berley see over the top of the table as she sat in her chair.

Chi-Chi walked into the room. "No, I'm doing that right now."

"Chi-Chi, we're hungry."

"I realize that Goku, that's why I'm making something to eat." Both of the Saiyans starred blankly at
Chi-Chi.

Goku looked at his daughter. Her odangos didn't even pass her chin. 'She's getting big. Time passed rather quickly the past 4 years.' "Chi-Chi when is it going to be done?"

"Soon Goku. Honestly you're worse than a child."

"Worse than me?"

Chi-Chi laughed at her daughter. "Yes worse than you. Ok, NOW it's done Goku." Chi-Chi put the food on the table and watched as Goku devoured half of what she had made. She served herself and Usagi some of the food and left the rest for her hungry husband.

Usagi always found it interesting to watch her father eat. Actually she found it more funny than interesting. He was always making a mess when he ate. She had tried to eat like him once before and it made her so sick.

She finished eating and hoped down off of her chair. "Ok, I'm ready when you are dad." Goku was going to take Usagi to school until she was old enough to take the flying Nimbus by herself. It was too long of a car drive to her school and, like her brothers before her, she needed faster transportation.

"OK, I'm almost finished." Goku speed up in his eating so he could finish in time to take his daughter to school. He threw down his eating utensils. "Done. Ok Usagi, let's go."

"Yay!" Usagi raced out the front door.

"Goodbye Usagi." Chi-Chi yelled. She turned back to Goku. "I guess she really is excited." Chi-Chi didn't have a problem with this. She wanted her to do well in school.

"Yeah. I guess so." Goku walked out of the house and joined his daughter. "Flying Nimbus!" He looked at Usagi. "Pretty excited, huh?" Usagi looked up at her father with a big smile and nodded. The Flying Nimbus came rushing down to them from the sky and stopped just below Goku's waste. Goku picked up Usagi and placed her on Nimbus and climbed on it himself and sat behind her. He grabbed onto her waste to make sure that she wouldn't fall off when they started to fly. "Lets go Nimbus." They were off to Usagi's school.

When they arrived at the school there were many children running around the courtyard screaming and playing games with each other. Usagi's eyes widened when she saw all of this. "Wow, this is cool."

Goku was also in awe. He had never seen anything like this. "You're telling me. I wanna stay here too."

"Daddy, you can't. You have to go home and train." Usagi gave her dad and hug and kissed him goodbye and ran off into the screaming heap of kids.

"Goodbye, Usagi." Goku waved goodbye to his little girl and was off back to his home. He would return again once school got out.

Usagi walked around the schoolyard looking for hoping that she would meet a new friend. She tried to stay away from the older kids but it couldn't really be helped. They were the most abundant. In fact, as she looked around, she couldn't really spot anyone her own age. She was lost.

Usagi walked over to a group of girls who were standing talking in a circle. "Excuse me."

The girl with the shorter hair looked at Usagi and laughed. "Hey girls, it looks like we got ourselves a wanna be. I'll take care of this." For some reason this girl didn't wear a girls uniform. Instead she wore the male uniform which consisted of a white shirt and red plad pants. She wore a tie around her neck. "What do you want little kid."

"I was wondering if you could tell me where the kindergarten area is." The group of girls laughed. "What? What's so funny?"

"You must be the only kid who doesn't know where the kindergarten wing is. Hello, it's the place on the right side of the school with all the little screaming, annoying kids. What's wrong with you?"

"Hey, you don't have to me mean!" Usagi stuck her tongue out at the girl with the short blonde hair.

"You shouldn't have done that kid! Now your gonna pay." Usagi backed away from the 5th grader. The girl noticed Usagi's tail. "You know, we tend to leave our make believe toys at home."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"That stupid tail of yours. What were you pretending to be some sort of animal?"

A girl with aqua color hair walked up from behind her friend. "Did you go to pre-school kid?"

"No."

"You really are out of it."

"Shut up. Leave me alone. I didn't do anything to you."

"Well just because you're annoying me, and because I feel like it, I'm going to kick your ass." Usagi was scared. She had not expected this. The blonde shorthaired girl jumped for Usagi's tail. Usagi jumped away and noticed that a lot more kids were gathering around. She looked back at the shorthaired girl who was getting up off the ground. Her nose was bleeding. "You're going to pay girl."

Usagi watched in fear as the girl once again ran for her. Usagi was about to dodge away when someone grabbed her from behind. Usagi tried to squirm her way out of the hold. "Let me go." Usagi saw that the shorthaired girl was coming at her in full force and closed her eyes.

"I've got her Haruka."

"Good work Michiru, I'll pull that stupid tail off of her while I'm at it." Haruka slowed down to a complete halt in front of Usagi, who was still closing her eyes. "Stupid girl." Haruka grabbed Usagi's tail and pulled on it.

Pain shot everywhere through out Usagi's body as Haruka pulled her tail. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!"

"What's wrong, it won't come off." Haruka squeezed harder and pulled more.

"That's because it's attached to my body you idiot." Michiru let Usagi go. She fell to the ground as her vision went blank as the pain increased.

Haruka let go of her tail. "Wow, you're some kind of freak. We can't have freaks at this school." Haruka raised her leg to kick Usagi in the face when someone stopped her.

"Miss Tenno, what do you think you're doing to this poor girl?"

Haruka looked back. "Sorry Miss Haruna. I was just ridding the school of an unwanted freak."

"No one is a freak here Haruka. Getting in trouble on the first day of school you two. Go to the principle's office now."

"Ah man, come on Michiru." Haruka turned back to Usagi, "Don't let me catch you around here again. You hear?"

"GO! The rest of you, be on your way. There is nothing left to see here." Haruna watched as the rest of the kids went back to what they were doing before Haruka's little outburst. She knelt by Usagi who was trying to regain her stance. "I'm sorry about that. What's your name?"

Usagi looked at the lady. She wasn't sure if she should trust her. "Son Usagi." She whispered.

"What a nice name. Well Usagi, what grade are you in?"

"Kindergarten." Usagi was stumbling while she was trying to stand up. Getting her tail pulled drained her energy. She had never felt that kind of pain before in her life. Haruna held Usagi's hand to help her up.

"Well then, lets get you where you belong shall we."

Usagi learned that she had nothing to fear from this woman. "What's your name?"

"Miss Haruna."

"Really? You're my teacher." Usagi was happy to have such a nice teacher.

"That's great, I hope all of my students are as sweet as you." Usagi smiled.

~*~*~

When Miss Haruna and Usagi got to the kindergarten wing, all of the kids were already inside the classroom and seated at their tables. "There's your seat over there." Miss Haruna let go of Usagi's hand and went to the front of the class.

Usagi walked to the back of the class where her seat was. As she walked back all of the students starred at her tail. They had never seen a human with a tail before. She noticed all of the kids watching her and began to feel very uncomfortable. She sat next to a blonde girl who wore a red bow in her hair who also starred at her. "Why do you have a tail?"

"I'll tell you later."

"Ok. My name is Minako. What's yours?"

"Usagi."

"Cool."

Miss Haruna tapped a pencil on her desk to get everyone's attention. "Good morning class. This is kindergarten and I am your teacher Miss Haruna." She went on about what they would accomplish by the end of the year and all that introduction stuff teachers always talk about on the first day of school.

The students have an hour for lunch and they can pretty much go anywhere in the kindergarten wing.
Chi-Chi had packed a lunch for Usagi. She was afraid that if she gave her money to buy it she would just loose it. Usagi sat by herself in the kindergarten playground and ate her lunch quietly.

Minako walked up to her. "Can I eat with you."

"Sure."

Minako sat down by Usagi and began to pull stuff out of her lunch bag. Behind them screaming kids could be heard playing. "So, why do you have a tail?"

Usagi was more than happy to tell her. She didn't want people to think she was a freak and she thought that by telling people they wouldn't think of her as a freak anymore. "Well you see my daddy is a Saiyan."

"What's a Saiyan."

"I don't know. I think it's some sort of an alien or something. Anyways, my daddy was born with a tail and so were my brothers. I have another friend named Vejita and his kids were born with tails too."

"Cool. I want one." The two girls laughed.

A boy walked up to them. "Hey freaks."

Minako stood up. "Who you callin a freak?"

"You." The boy pointed at Usagi. "And you're the biggest freak I've ever seen."

Usagi wasn't going to say anything. She didn't want what happened earlier to happen again. Minako wasn't just going to sit around and let that boy pick on her new friend. "Hey, pick on someone else. Usagi isn't a freak."

"Yeah she is. She has a tail. Ha ha ha ha ha, I'm glad I don't have a tail." The boy ran off and began to play with some of his friends.

"Don't listen to him Usagi. He's the freak."

Usagi just sat and stared at her food. She felt like crying but didn't because she didn't want to be called a crybaby on top of being called a freak. "You don't have to sit with me."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean look at me. I am a freak. I have a tail. I'm just making everyone hate you too." Usagi lost her appetite.

"What ever, why would I want to play with someone who is mean so someone that they don't even know."

Usagi smiled a little bit. "Thanks Minako."

"And besides, you're my new friend."

~*~*~

The day went on like that. Kids would tease Usagi for having a tail and they would tease Minako for being too much like a boy and for hanging out with Usagi. Usagi wasn't sure she liked all of the other kids. She missed being home with her father and couldn't wait to go home.

"Ok kids, it's 3:00 and you all know what that means. It's time to go home. I'll see you all tomorrow." Miss Haruna dismissed her class.

Usagi and Minako walked out to the front of the school. They were both waiting for their parents to pick them up when Usagi spotted Haruka and Michiru. "Oh no."

Minako looked back at her friend. "What's wrong Usagi?"

Haruka saw Usagi trying to hide behind a girl with long blonde hair. She walked up to her with Michiru. "He squirt. Thanks to you we got 2 weeks of detention. This means war between us."

A man in a long brown coat walked up from behind. "Hello girls, I hope you weren't pestering these two girls."

Haruka rolled her eyes. "No we weren't Mr. B." Mr. B, as the students call him, was the head of detention.

"Good, come along ladies, we have work to do."

Usagi laughed as Haruka and Michiru walked off to be put to work for a half-hour. "What was all that about, Usagi?"

"They kind of beat me up before school and now they have detention."

"Wow, no one likes you Usagi. I'm sorry."

"Yeah well I have to live with it. That's ok though. I have you and my family. I have lots of friends who are way older than me." Usagi tried to fake being ok on the outside, but inside she was really hurting. She looked up in the air and looked for her father. She spotted him on Nimbus. "Daddy!" She yelled so her father could see her. She smiled and waved.

Goku landed on Nimbus. "Hey Usagi. Ready to go home?"

"Yep."

Minako starred at Goku wide eyed and mouth open. "Wow, your dad has a flying cloud. How cool Usagi."

"That's nothing. You should see him train. Now THAT'S cool."

Goku looked at the girl who stood next to his daughter. "Who's this Usagi?"

"Oh, yeah, Daddy this is my new friend Minako. Minako, this is my daddy."

Minako stuck out her hand to Goku. "Nice to meet you sir."

Goku shook hands with his daughter's new friend and smiled. "Nice to meet you Minako. Well Usagi, I guess we should be going."

"Ok." Goku pulled Usagi on Nimbus and Usagi waved to her friend. "Good bye Minako. I'll see you tomorrow."

Minako waved back. "By Usagi."

~*~*~

On the way home Usagi was pretty silent. She was thinking about her first day at school. It was nothing like what she had expected it to be. She was grateful that she had a new friend though and that she didn't have to go through the year alone. She elected not to tell her father about what happened in the morning.

"So, did you have fun?"

"Yeah, it was cool. We have a whole hour for lunch and we get to go anywhere we want. I ate lunch on the playground with Minako. My teacher's really nice. Her name is Miss Haruna." Usagi was out of breath. She had just said a mouth full in one sentence.

"That's cool. I missed having you around all day."

"I missed you too daddy." Usagi wrapped her tail around her father's waste as they flew home and leaned into his chest. She was worn out from the day's activities and needed to rest.

(Ok, that's it for this chapter. I'd like to hear what you think so far so please review. ^_^)
