Makoto peered over the edge of the flying Nimbus as they flew over the city. It was all so beautiful. She had never seen anything quite like it. All of the buildings were passing by so quickly. She had never flown before. She hadn't expected this. She always thought that the first time that she would fly would be on an airplane, not on some yellow flying cloud. She could see an opening in the amount of houses and the got closer to their destination.
Goku decreased his altitude as he flew over the large field. Nimbus followed. He looked back at Usagi. "If you want to practice your falling go ahead and jump off now."
Usagi nodded. "Ok." Usagi pushed herself off her father and fell to the ground.
Makoto watched as Usagi hurled herself down. She looked like a tornado because she was spinning so fast. Makoto watched her technique. "Wow, she's really good."
Minako also watched. "I know."
"There's still one thing I want to ask her but I don't know if I should." Makoto watched Usagi land.
Minako looked at her new friend. She had a pretty good hunch about what was making Makoto curious. "It's her tail isn't it?" Makoto nodded. "She told me that she had one because her daddy is a Saiyan."
Makoto stared at Minako. "What's a Saiyan?"
Minako shrugged. "I'm not sure. Usagi didn't really say, she said something about him being an alien."
Makoto looked at Goku who was now on the ground. "He sure looks normal to me." She turned back to Minako. "You think we should ask him?"
Nimbus landed by Goku and Usagi. The two girls stepped down off of the cloud. Makoto immediately began to stretch. Goku could see that Makoto was very serious about fighting. She had a distinct fighting aura about her. He could sense it. She would become very strong if trained right. He turned to his daughter. "Are you still tired?"
Usagi pulled her leg behind her to stretch it. "Nope. I can fight." She put her foot down and started to stretch her arms.
"I'm not tired anymore either, Goku." Minako piped in. "I'm good to go."
Goku smiled and took a step back. "Ok then. Whenever you guys are ready. I want to see your different fighting styles put together." Goku walked farther back. He wanted to give them enough space. 'This ought to be good.' He thought to himself.
Usagi stood and waited for Minako and Makoto to get ready. She somewhat knew Makoto's fighting style. She was fast and hit hard. She tended to use her legs a lot. She would have to watch her that. As for Minako, she knew nothing about the way she fought. She would really need to watch her for everything. It was like fighting blind. She had nothing to go on.
Minako stopped stretching and looked at Usagi. She nodded to let her know that she was ready.
Makoto took her time. She wanted to be as ready as possible. She wanted to be victorious. She stood tall when she was finished. She put her hands together and nodded to her two friends.
Usagi took his as her invitation to begin the fight. She grinned. "This is going to be fun." She ran for Minako.
"Yeah, you're telling me." Minako ran towards Usagi. They both ran for each other. Neither of them backed down.
Usagi was feeling aggressive. She jumped for Minako with her hands. Minako just grinned and jumped to the side where she was met by Makoto's fist to her face. Minako grabbed Makoto's arm and dug her nails into it.
Usagi piled into dirt. She quickly pushed herself off the ground and stood up in time to watch Minako kick Makoto in the stomach. She ran up behind Minako and grabbed her. Minako elbowed Usagi in the chest. Usagi didn't let go. Instead she retaliated by hitting her in the back with her knee. She let Minako fall to the ground. Little did she know that Makoto's fist was waiting from behind Minako. It met with Usagi's face.
Usagi grabbed her face. When she pulled her hand away there was blood on her hands. She grinned. "Someone is going to get it now."
Goku watched as his daughter and her friends sparred. He knew that they would be ready for the test on Wedsnday.
Usagi got ready to shove her foot into Makoto's arm when Minako grabbed her. She nodded to Makoto. Usagi looked at Makoto and then back at Minako. She knew that they had planned something. She began to worry. Makoto grabbed onto her legs and Minako kept a hold of her upper body.
Goku watched carefully. He studied their fighting patterns closely he didn't want to miss anything. He needed to be ready for them.
Minako and Makoto now held Usagi off of the ground and were swinging her back and fourth. They increased their speed. Usagi wasn't sure that she was going to like what was about to happen. Minako and Makoto nodded to each other once again and pulled back farther than they had before. This time when they swung her forward they let go and hurled her across the field.
"AHHHHH!" Usagi flailed as she flew through the air. She kept her eyes open. She watched as everything flew past so fast. She landed with her face in the ground. She picked her head up and spit out the dirt that had made it's way into her mouth. She looked up and saw her father standing over her. She calmly stood up and brushed herself off. She smiled. "THAT WAS SO COOL!! I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!" She ran back to where Minako and Makoto were still having it out.
Goku laughed at his daughter. She was so energetic. He was glad that she was happy again. He was rather enjoying this fight.
Usagi waited for the perfect time to jump back into the fight. She watched Minako dodge Makoto's punches. 'Daddy was right. She is really good.' One of Makoto's punches finally made contact to Minako's back. Usagi took this opportunity to join back in.
Makoto looked at Usagi and grinned. "So nice of you to join us again Usagi." She ran up to Usagi.
Usagi grabbed her by the arm and flipped her over onto the ground. She walked up to Makoto and looked down at her. "I'm so happy to be here." She turned around to fight with Minako some more.
Makoto grinned. She shouldn't have done what she was about to do but she couldn't resist it. She turned over on her stomach and grabbed Usagi's tail.
"AAAAHHHH!" A sharp pain shot up Usagi's back and slowly made its way into the rest of her body. She could feel her energy leaving her body as she fell to the ground. Her eyes begin to tear up. The pain was too great. She couldn't handle it. "Let go!"
Minako watched her friend struggle. She could tell that she was in a lot of pain. She could have almost cried herself after she saw the look on her face.
Makoto loosened her grip on Usagi's tail. "I'm sorry Usagi. I didn't know." Makoto felt bad. She hadn't meant to hurt her like she had. She honestly didn't know that her tail was so sensitive.
Usagi let her energy return to her and then stood up. She looked down at Makoto who still lay on the ground. She looked like she was deep in though. Usagi frowned as she pulled her leg back.
Goku grabbed his daughter from behind. He knew what she was about to do and he couldn't allow her to do it. He carried her over to an area of trees and set her down. He kneeled in front of her and looked her right in the eyes.
Usagi looked back into her father's eyes. She knew that she had done something wrong. She didn't try to squirm out of his hold.
"Usagi, you can't attack out of anger whenever your tail gets grabbed or pulled by someone. I let it slide before because it was me and I could handle it, but Makoto isn't as strong as me and you could have seriously hurt her. Your boots are weighted. That would have done some serious damage. You don't want to hurt your friend like that do you?"
Usagi shook her head. "No, but it hurt so much daddy."
"I know, I got my fair share of having my tail pulled when I was a kid, but you have to learn to control yourself, alright?" Goku hoped that she understood.
Usagi put her head down. "Yes."
Goku took one of his hands off of her arm so he could lift her head up. "I'm not mad at you, I just don't want you to do something that you may regret later." He knew that she still thought that he was mad at her. Her facial expression told the whole story of her feelings. 'She's so sensitive.' He grabbed her and pulled her close to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
Goku stood up and looked back to the other girls. They had gone back to sparring with each other. Goku looked down at Usagi. She looked very upset. He hated it when he had to correct her. He tried avoiding it as much as possible but this time obviously could not be avoided. He blamed it on himself. He should have told her that from the start. He put his hand behind her shoulder and led her to the others.
Makoto saw Usagi and stopped fighting. She walked up to her. "I'm really sorry Usagi. I didn't know that would happen."
Usagi knew she didn't mean it bad. Her own actions weren't meant as something bad either. It was a reaction to the pain. "It's ok, Makoto. I know."
"I think we should call it day." Goku picked Usagi and held her piggyback style again. "Nimbus!"
Makoto was still curious about something and it was driving her nuts. "Umm, Goku… what's a Saiyan?"
Goku turned around to Makoto. He knew that this question would surface one day. "Well, we are fighters from a planet called Vejita."
"Why are we on earth daddy?" Usagi was getting tired.
Goku turned his head back to look at his daughter who rested her head on his shoulder. "Well I was sent here as a baby to destroy earth but I hit my head and forgot my mission so here we are."
Minako remembered something that Usagi told her on the first day of school. "Well what about that one guy, oh what was his name?" Minako thought for moment. "Oh yeah, Vejita. Why is he here?"
"To make a long story short, he was taken away from his father, the king of Vejita, by a monster named Freiza. We killed him on a planet named Namek and Vejita came here."
Minako and Makoto shook their heads. They had never heard of these Saiyans from their parents but they had to believe him. His daughter had the tail to prove that his story was true. When Nimbus arrived they climbed on it.
Goku flew with the girls to make sure they got home all right.
~*~*~
When Usagi and Goku returned home, Usagi tried to go straight to her room but was stopped by her mother. Chi-Chi noticed that her daughter looked upset about something. "Usagi, what's wrong? What happened?" Usagi didn't really acknowledge that her mother had said something, or the fact that she was standing next to her. She just kept walking for her room. Chi-Chi turned to her husband. "Goku, what's wrong? I've never seen her so upset before."
Goku watched as his daughter slowly pulled herself to her room. He knew that she thought he was mad at her. Even though he told her he wasn't. "She has been through a lot today. We ran into the two girls that she got in a fight with, Haruka and Michiru. I asked them for the Dragon Ball back but they insisted that they didn't have it. I guess they said something to Usagi on their way out of McDonalds but I didn't hear it. Then, while she was training with her friends, Makoto pulled her tail and Usagi just about kicked her in the face when she wasn't looking."
"Oh my god Goku, what did you do?" Chi-Chi put a book down on a table that sat by the door of the kitchen.
"Well, the only thing I could do. I pulled her aside and kind of yelled at her."
Chi-Chi was shocked. She had never heard of Goku yelling at Usagi. "Goku, I'm sorry you that had to do that. No wonder why she's upset now."
Goku looked back to his daughter who just turned into her room. "Now she thinks I'm mad at her. So, like I said, she's had a rough day."
Chi-Chi felt sorry for both of them. She could see that Goku was troubled by Usagi's mood. She knew that he never wanted to be a source of conflict in Usagi's life. "Well maybe you should talk to her."
"Maybe later. I want to give her time to calm down a little bit."
~*~*~
Usagi had decided to take a bubble bath before she went to bed. She needed to relax and that was the best form of relaxation that she knew of. She sighed as she leaned back against the edge of the tub. "What a day. Daddy has never yelled at me like that before. Maybe he's getting tired of me being around all the time."
She replayed the day over and over again in her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about Haruka and Michiru. Why had they lied about the Dragon Ball? They knew that they had it yet they said they didn't. Usagi never did understand why people lie. All it does is get you into even more trouble then you already are. She wondered if she would ever get the ball back. She would try her best to get it back.
She scooted down further into the water. The bubbles tickled her chin. She let out a small giggle. Usagi was already becoming more relaxed. She began to forget about her worries and started to enjoy her bath. She started popping bubbles with her fingers as they rose up to the air.
When Goku walked by the bathroom door he could here Usagi laughing inside. 'Good, she's happy again. I hope.'
~*~*~
Usagi was just about to get her mother to tuck her in when her father walked into her room. "Hi Usagi."
"Hi daddy." Usagi watched her father sit on her bed. He motioned for her to sit next to him. She did.
Goku put his arms around her. "You know, I'm really not mad at you about today."
Usagi looked up at her father. "But you never yelled at me like that before." She leaned into him.
"I didn't mean to yell at you Usagi. Please believe me. I wasn't ever mad at you."
Usagi started to believe him. She knew that he wouldn't lie to her. "Ok."
Goku smiled. "Good, now, why don't we get you into bed? I'm sure you're very tired."
Usagi nodded. "Yeah, I am." She yawned and crawled up to the top of her bed.
Goku pulled the covers over her. He leaned down and gave her a kiss. "Goodnight my sweet little Usagi."
"Goodnight daddy. I love you." Usagi closed her eyes and curled up.
Goku walked to the door. "I love you too." He turned out the lights and walked out of the room. When he turned around from closing the door Chi-Chi was standing behind him.
"How did your little talk go?"
"Good, I think she now understands that I am not mad at her." Goku put his arm around his wife. The two started walking to their room.
"That's good."
~*~*~
Wednesday…
When Usagi woke up, it was already 11:30 A.M. She rubbed her eyes because she thought she saw the clock wrong. But she didn't. "How could I have slept that late? Daddy likes to leave early." She hopped out of bed and scampered out of her room.
She ran into her parent's room to see if he was in there. He wasn't. She figured that he would be in the kitchen since that's where he was whenever he wasn't training so she went there next. When she looked in her mother was cooking something. She looked to the table and then to the refrigerator. He wasn't there either. She walked up to her mother and tapped her on the back.
Chi-Chi turned around and looked at her daughter. "What is it honey?"
Usagi looked one more time around the room and then back at her mother. "Where's daddy?"
"Oh, he already left." Chi-Chi turned back to her cooking.
Usagi's eyes began to widen. "What? He left with out me? How could he do that? Why?" Chi-Chi didn't turn around. Usagi tugged on her dress. "Mommy, why did daddy leave with out me?"
Chi-Chi turned back around. She looked annoyed this time. "Daddy didn't want to wake you up. You were so tired. He just didn't have the heart to." Chi-Chi expression softened. "That's ok though, we can have a day just for us girls until he comes back for you later."
'Great.' Usagi watched her mother. She looked so happy. She didn't want to spoil her fun. She sighed and faked a smile. "YAY!" She would rather be with her father, training, or at least watching him spar.
Chi-Chi turned back to her pot. "Just let me finish this. Then we can eat. And THEN, we can hang out. Why don't you go get dressed."
"Ok." Usagi turned to go back into her room.
"And no training cloths. I want you to wear your normal cloths." She watched her daughter walk back to her room. "Oh this is going to be so much fun. I get to spend the day with my baby."
~*~*~
Chi-Chi decided to take Usagi to Bulma's. She wanted to spend the day with just the three of them just as girls. With no worries. The three of them sat in the living room. Bulma and Chi-Chi were talking about the old days and Usagi was just plain bored. She didn't know anything about what happened in the past. She fiddled around with her fingers as the two adults talked to each other. She needed to have some fun. What she needed to do was find Vejita. "Umm, excuse me, Bulma?"
Bulma stopped talking about the time when she first met Goku and turned to Usagi. "Yes, what is it dear?"
"Well I was wondering if you could tell me where the bathroom is."
Bulma pointed to a hall on her left. "Well sweetie, it's just down this hall and to the left. It's the 2 door down."
Usagi smiled. Her plan had worked perfectly. "Ok, thanks." She got up from her chair and began walking down the hallway. She turned to the left because she knew that both of the women were watching her. "I wonder where Vejita is." She thought to herself for a moment. 'If I was Vejita, where would I be? Hmm.' She thought some more and finally it hit her. "I know, the gravity room that he is always talking about. That's where he would be." She looked around a bit. "Now I just have find out where it is."
Usagi walked down the hall a little ways only to have to turn right into a hallway with windows as a wall. She peered out the windows. She saw a spaceship looking thing outside. "That has to be it." She ran to the end of the hallway where she found a door that led outside. She opened it and walked out.
She walked up the ship's ramp that led to a door. By the door there was a light that was lit red. She turned the knob of the door and opened it. She stuck her head in to look around. Inside there was a big console in the middle of a huge room. "Cool."
She stepped inside and immediately fell to the ground. She tried desperately to push herself up but couldn't. Her whole body was plastered to the floor. She couldn't even lift her head. "What's going on?" Her bones felt like they were going to break. She could barely breath. She closed her eyes as the force grew on her tiny body.
When Usagi opened her eyes again she saw two feet in front of her. She would have looked up but she couldn't. "Tsk, Tsk, Usagi. I would have expected better from the daughter of Kakkorotto. Isn't he always teaching his brats to stay out of trouble and not create it? Don't you know the meaning of red lights? It means to STAY OUT!"
Usagi smiled to herself. "Vejita. Help me please."
"Well I guess I should. After all, I don't want to listen to your mother's complaining if every bone in your body was crushed to bits." Vejita walked over to the console that sat in the middle of the room.
Usagi could hear him pressing some buttons. All of a sudden the pressure was released and Usagi could once again move. She stood up. "Thank you Vejita."
Vejita snorted. "Yeah whatever. What do you want brat?" Vejita rubbed his arms with his hands.
"My mom brought me over. I got bored so I came to find you." Usagi started to walk around to get a better look at the gravity room.
"Am I supposed to feel honored?"
Usagi turned around to look at Vejita. "No, not unless you want to be."
"Are you not training today?"
"I'm training, just not right now. I have to wait until Makoto gets out of school. Then we can all train. Daddy is gonna train us out how to use Ki blast's and how to fly today. I'm so excited about it. I can't wait." Usagi sat down on the ground. She still ached from all the gravity.
'What a mysterious girl. She WANTS to learn how to fight. That's more than I can say for Bra.' "So you think you're ready for the big time fighting eh?"
Usagi nodded. "Yep, daddy says I'm making good progress."
Vejita raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Usagi was getting weirded out by Vejita. He was acting somewhat strange. "Uh, yeah."
"Good." Vejita smirked and lunged for Usagi with his fist. Usagi definitely was not anticipating that. She didn't dodge it. She was throw to the wall. "Kakkorotto was lying to you girl. Tell him you're not ready. You need more training."
Usagi stood up and rubbed her check where Vejita had just hit her. "That wasn't fair. I wasn't ready for that. We weren't even sparring."
Vejita walked up to Usagi and pinned her against the wall. "It doesn't matter if we are not fighting, little girl. You need to be ready for EVERYTHING. You never know when someone is going to come up to you and hit you. That's probably the most important thing that you will ever need to learn. You got that?"
Usagi cowered. She didn't know what Vejita was going to do to her. She nodded.
Vejita pulled away and release Usagi from the wall. "Good now get out of my sight."
Usagi ran past Vejita and then out of the room. She ran across the courtyard back into the building. She sighed as she leaned against the wall. "Maybe he's right, maybe I should watch everything more careful."
"Of course you should, didn't I tell you that when we first started."
Usagi looked down the hall and saw her father walking towards her. She smiled and ran for him. She jumped into his arms and hugged him. "Daddy!"
Goku hugged his daughter and then set her back down on the ground. "Your mother and Bulma have been looking for you. You shouldn't worry them."
Usagi looked down to the ground. "I know and I'm sorry, daddy. I won't do it again." She looked back up. "What are you doing here?"
"I went home to pick you up, but you weren't there to be picked up. So I came here. Are you ready to go and train?"
A smile appeared on Usagi's face. "I sure am. But…"
"What?"
"We have to go back home first. I don't have my cloths with me. Mommy wanted me to wear normal cloths." Usagi sighed. She didn't want to go back home. She just wanted to go and learn how to fight the fun way.
"Don't worry about that. I've got it covered. Since I have lived with your mother for so long I have learned many things about her. I didn't think that she would want you to come in your training GI so I went into your room and brought if for you. All you have to do now is go and change into it."
"Cool, Thanks daddy."
"No, problem."
~*~*~
Goku didn't make Usagi run to Minako's. He didn't want her tired for her training that day. It was important that she was in good condition for what he was going to put her through. He didn't make Minako run either when they left for the school.
The three fighters stood outside Meadows and waited for Makoto again. She came out wearing he green GI. She ran to them while waving. "Hey guys!"
Usagi waved back. "Hi Makoto."
Two boys ran out from behind her. They were two boys from Usagi's class. They stopped running when they saw Usagi. The one with brown hair pointed at her. "Hey look its Monkey girl."
The one with black hair looked around. "Where?"
"There."
"Oh, hey Monkey girl! Long time no see." Both boys laughed and ran away.
Usagi chased after them. She easily caught up to them. She pulled back on the shoulder of the boy with the black hair. He turned around to look at her. "Who are you calling a monkey?" She made a fist with her hands.
The boy laughed at her. "You, the freak." His friend joined in on the laughing.
Usagi grinned. "You shouldn't laugh at me anymore. I can beat you guys up now so you better be nice to me."
"Yeah right. You're just a girl. A monkey girl."
Usagi pulled back her fist and was about to hit when she heard her father. "Usagi, NO!" Usagi stopped what she was doing. She turned around to her father. He looked more disappointed in her then angry. She had let him down again. Her eyes began to water as she walked back to him.
The boys stuck their tongues out at Usagi as she walked away. "Daddy's girl. Go run back to your daddy!"
Goku crossed his arms as he watched Usagi walk back. "Usagi, you have to learn to control your temper. You can't just go and beat everyone up who makes fun of you. If you did, you would be no better then Haruka and Michiru."
Usagi looked up at her father. "I'm sorry. I'll try harder." She didn't want to be anything like those two.
Goku changed the subject as fast as he could. "Ok, I guess we should be on our way."
~*~*~
Usagi, Minako, and Makoto stood in a line and awaited their new training. Goku paced back and fourth in front of them. He stopped in front of Minako. "Ok, now then, I will only teach you guys how to fight with Ki blast and how to fly on one condition. You have to show me that you can fight hand to hand combat well, first."
"How do we do that daddy?" Usagi was stretching her legs behind her back.
"You have to beat me in a sparring match. All three of you against me. That shouldn't be that hard if you know what you're doing, right?"
(Ok, that's it for this chapter. Is it good or bad? Please review. Thank you ^_^)
Goku decreased his altitude as he flew over the large field. Nimbus followed. He looked back at Usagi. "If you want to practice your falling go ahead and jump off now."
Usagi nodded. "Ok." Usagi pushed herself off her father and fell to the ground.
Makoto watched as Usagi hurled herself down. She looked like a tornado because she was spinning so fast. Makoto watched her technique. "Wow, she's really good."
Minako also watched. "I know."
"There's still one thing I want to ask her but I don't know if I should." Makoto watched Usagi land.
Minako looked at her new friend. She had a pretty good hunch about what was making Makoto curious. "It's her tail isn't it?" Makoto nodded. "She told me that she had one because her daddy is a Saiyan."
Makoto stared at Minako. "What's a Saiyan?"
Minako shrugged. "I'm not sure. Usagi didn't really say, she said something about him being an alien."
Makoto looked at Goku who was now on the ground. "He sure looks normal to me." She turned back to Minako. "You think we should ask him?"
Nimbus landed by Goku and Usagi. The two girls stepped down off of the cloud. Makoto immediately began to stretch. Goku could see that Makoto was very serious about fighting. She had a distinct fighting aura about her. He could sense it. She would become very strong if trained right. He turned to his daughter. "Are you still tired?"
Usagi pulled her leg behind her to stretch it. "Nope. I can fight." She put her foot down and started to stretch her arms.
"I'm not tired anymore either, Goku." Minako piped in. "I'm good to go."
Goku smiled and took a step back. "Ok then. Whenever you guys are ready. I want to see your different fighting styles put together." Goku walked farther back. He wanted to give them enough space. 'This ought to be good.' He thought to himself.
Usagi stood and waited for Minako and Makoto to get ready. She somewhat knew Makoto's fighting style. She was fast and hit hard. She tended to use her legs a lot. She would have to watch her that. As for Minako, she knew nothing about the way she fought. She would really need to watch her for everything. It was like fighting blind. She had nothing to go on.
Minako stopped stretching and looked at Usagi. She nodded to let her know that she was ready.
Makoto took her time. She wanted to be as ready as possible. She wanted to be victorious. She stood tall when she was finished. She put her hands together and nodded to her two friends.
Usagi took his as her invitation to begin the fight. She grinned. "This is going to be fun." She ran for Minako.
"Yeah, you're telling me." Minako ran towards Usagi. They both ran for each other. Neither of them backed down.
Usagi was feeling aggressive. She jumped for Minako with her hands. Minako just grinned and jumped to the side where she was met by Makoto's fist to her face. Minako grabbed Makoto's arm and dug her nails into it.
Usagi piled into dirt. She quickly pushed herself off the ground and stood up in time to watch Minako kick Makoto in the stomach. She ran up behind Minako and grabbed her. Minako elbowed Usagi in the chest. Usagi didn't let go. Instead she retaliated by hitting her in the back with her knee. She let Minako fall to the ground. Little did she know that Makoto's fist was waiting from behind Minako. It met with Usagi's face.
Usagi grabbed her face. When she pulled her hand away there was blood on her hands. She grinned. "Someone is going to get it now."
Goku watched as his daughter and her friends sparred. He knew that they would be ready for the test on Wedsnday.
Usagi got ready to shove her foot into Makoto's arm when Minako grabbed her. She nodded to Makoto. Usagi looked at Makoto and then back at Minako. She knew that they had planned something. She began to worry. Makoto grabbed onto her legs and Minako kept a hold of her upper body.
Goku watched carefully. He studied their fighting patterns closely he didn't want to miss anything. He needed to be ready for them.
Minako and Makoto now held Usagi off of the ground and were swinging her back and fourth. They increased their speed. Usagi wasn't sure that she was going to like what was about to happen. Minako and Makoto nodded to each other once again and pulled back farther than they had before. This time when they swung her forward they let go and hurled her across the field.
"AHHHHH!" Usagi flailed as she flew through the air. She kept her eyes open. She watched as everything flew past so fast. She landed with her face in the ground. She picked her head up and spit out the dirt that had made it's way into her mouth. She looked up and saw her father standing over her. She calmly stood up and brushed herself off. She smiled. "THAT WAS SO COOL!! I WANNA DO IT AGAIN!" She ran back to where Minako and Makoto were still having it out.
Goku laughed at his daughter. She was so energetic. He was glad that she was happy again. He was rather enjoying this fight.
Usagi waited for the perfect time to jump back into the fight. She watched Minako dodge Makoto's punches. 'Daddy was right. She is really good.' One of Makoto's punches finally made contact to Minako's back. Usagi took this opportunity to join back in.
Makoto looked at Usagi and grinned. "So nice of you to join us again Usagi." She ran up to Usagi.
Usagi grabbed her by the arm and flipped her over onto the ground. She walked up to Makoto and looked down at her. "I'm so happy to be here." She turned around to fight with Minako some more.
Makoto grinned. She shouldn't have done what she was about to do but she couldn't resist it. She turned over on her stomach and grabbed Usagi's tail.
"AAAAHHHH!" A sharp pain shot up Usagi's back and slowly made its way into the rest of her body. She could feel her energy leaving her body as she fell to the ground. Her eyes begin to tear up. The pain was too great. She couldn't handle it. "Let go!"
Minako watched her friend struggle. She could tell that she was in a lot of pain. She could have almost cried herself after she saw the look on her face.
Makoto loosened her grip on Usagi's tail. "I'm sorry Usagi. I didn't know." Makoto felt bad. She hadn't meant to hurt her like she had. She honestly didn't know that her tail was so sensitive.
Usagi let her energy return to her and then stood up. She looked down at Makoto who still lay on the ground. She looked like she was deep in though. Usagi frowned as she pulled her leg back.
Goku grabbed his daughter from behind. He knew what she was about to do and he couldn't allow her to do it. He carried her over to an area of trees and set her down. He kneeled in front of her and looked her right in the eyes.
Usagi looked back into her father's eyes. She knew that she had done something wrong. She didn't try to squirm out of his hold.
"Usagi, you can't attack out of anger whenever your tail gets grabbed or pulled by someone. I let it slide before because it was me and I could handle it, but Makoto isn't as strong as me and you could have seriously hurt her. Your boots are weighted. That would have done some serious damage. You don't want to hurt your friend like that do you?"
Usagi shook her head. "No, but it hurt so much daddy."
"I know, I got my fair share of having my tail pulled when I was a kid, but you have to learn to control yourself, alright?" Goku hoped that she understood.
Usagi put her head down. "Yes."
Goku took one of his hands off of her arm so he could lift her head up. "I'm not mad at you, I just don't want you to do something that you may regret later." He knew that she still thought that he was mad at her. Her facial expression told the whole story of her feelings. 'She's so sensitive.' He grabbed her and pulled her close to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck.
Goku stood up and looked back to the other girls. They had gone back to sparring with each other. Goku looked down at Usagi. She looked very upset. He hated it when he had to correct her. He tried avoiding it as much as possible but this time obviously could not be avoided. He blamed it on himself. He should have told her that from the start. He put his hand behind her shoulder and led her to the others.
Makoto saw Usagi and stopped fighting. She walked up to her. "I'm really sorry Usagi. I didn't know that would happen."
Usagi knew she didn't mean it bad. Her own actions weren't meant as something bad either. It was a reaction to the pain. "It's ok, Makoto. I know."
"I think we should call it day." Goku picked Usagi and held her piggyback style again. "Nimbus!"
Makoto was still curious about something and it was driving her nuts. "Umm, Goku… what's a Saiyan?"
Goku turned around to Makoto. He knew that this question would surface one day. "Well, we are fighters from a planet called Vejita."
"Why are we on earth daddy?" Usagi was getting tired.
Goku turned his head back to look at his daughter who rested her head on his shoulder. "Well I was sent here as a baby to destroy earth but I hit my head and forgot my mission so here we are."
Minako remembered something that Usagi told her on the first day of school. "Well what about that one guy, oh what was his name?" Minako thought for moment. "Oh yeah, Vejita. Why is he here?"
"To make a long story short, he was taken away from his father, the king of Vejita, by a monster named Freiza. We killed him on a planet named Namek and Vejita came here."
Minako and Makoto shook their heads. They had never heard of these Saiyans from their parents but they had to believe him. His daughter had the tail to prove that his story was true. When Nimbus arrived they climbed on it.
Goku flew with the girls to make sure they got home all right.
~*~*~
When Usagi and Goku returned home, Usagi tried to go straight to her room but was stopped by her mother. Chi-Chi noticed that her daughter looked upset about something. "Usagi, what's wrong? What happened?" Usagi didn't really acknowledge that her mother had said something, or the fact that she was standing next to her. She just kept walking for her room. Chi-Chi turned to her husband. "Goku, what's wrong? I've never seen her so upset before."
Goku watched as his daughter slowly pulled herself to her room. He knew that she thought he was mad at her. Even though he told her he wasn't. "She has been through a lot today. We ran into the two girls that she got in a fight with, Haruka and Michiru. I asked them for the Dragon Ball back but they insisted that they didn't have it. I guess they said something to Usagi on their way out of McDonalds but I didn't hear it. Then, while she was training with her friends, Makoto pulled her tail and Usagi just about kicked her in the face when she wasn't looking."
"Oh my god Goku, what did you do?" Chi-Chi put a book down on a table that sat by the door of the kitchen.
"Well, the only thing I could do. I pulled her aside and kind of yelled at her."
Chi-Chi was shocked. She had never heard of Goku yelling at Usagi. "Goku, I'm sorry you that had to do that. No wonder why she's upset now."
Goku looked back to his daughter who just turned into her room. "Now she thinks I'm mad at her. So, like I said, she's had a rough day."
Chi-Chi felt sorry for both of them. She could see that Goku was troubled by Usagi's mood. She knew that he never wanted to be a source of conflict in Usagi's life. "Well maybe you should talk to her."
"Maybe later. I want to give her time to calm down a little bit."
~*~*~
Usagi had decided to take a bubble bath before she went to bed. She needed to relax and that was the best form of relaxation that she knew of. She sighed as she leaned back against the edge of the tub. "What a day. Daddy has never yelled at me like that before. Maybe he's getting tired of me being around all the time."
She replayed the day over and over again in her mind. She couldn't stop thinking about Haruka and Michiru. Why had they lied about the Dragon Ball? They knew that they had it yet they said they didn't. Usagi never did understand why people lie. All it does is get you into even more trouble then you already are. She wondered if she would ever get the ball back. She would try her best to get it back.
She scooted down further into the water. The bubbles tickled her chin. She let out a small giggle. Usagi was already becoming more relaxed. She began to forget about her worries and started to enjoy her bath. She started popping bubbles with her fingers as they rose up to the air.
When Goku walked by the bathroom door he could here Usagi laughing inside. 'Good, she's happy again. I hope.'
~*~*~
Usagi was just about to get her mother to tuck her in when her father walked into her room. "Hi Usagi."
"Hi daddy." Usagi watched her father sit on her bed. He motioned for her to sit next to him. She did.
Goku put his arms around her. "You know, I'm really not mad at you about today."
Usagi looked up at her father. "But you never yelled at me like that before." She leaned into him.
"I didn't mean to yell at you Usagi. Please believe me. I wasn't ever mad at you."
Usagi started to believe him. She knew that he wouldn't lie to her. "Ok."
Goku smiled. "Good, now, why don't we get you into bed? I'm sure you're very tired."
Usagi nodded. "Yeah, I am." She yawned and crawled up to the top of her bed.
Goku pulled the covers over her. He leaned down and gave her a kiss. "Goodnight my sweet little Usagi."
"Goodnight daddy. I love you." Usagi closed her eyes and curled up.
Goku walked to the door. "I love you too." He turned out the lights and walked out of the room. When he turned around from closing the door Chi-Chi was standing behind him.
"How did your little talk go?"
"Good, I think she now understands that I am not mad at her." Goku put his arm around his wife. The two started walking to their room.
"That's good."
~*~*~
Wednesday…
When Usagi woke up, it was already 11:30 A.M. She rubbed her eyes because she thought she saw the clock wrong. But she didn't. "How could I have slept that late? Daddy likes to leave early." She hopped out of bed and scampered out of her room.
She ran into her parent's room to see if he was in there. He wasn't. She figured that he would be in the kitchen since that's where he was whenever he wasn't training so she went there next. When she looked in her mother was cooking something. She looked to the table and then to the refrigerator. He wasn't there either. She walked up to her mother and tapped her on the back.
Chi-Chi turned around and looked at her daughter. "What is it honey?"
Usagi looked one more time around the room and then back at her mother. "Where's daddy?"
"Oh, he already left." Chi-Chi turned back to her cooking.
Usagi's eyes began to widen. "What? He left with out me? How could he do that? Why?" Chi-Chi didn't turn around. Usagi tugged on her dress. "Mommy, why did daddy leave with out me?"
Chi-Chi turned back around. She looked annoyed this time. "Daddy didn't want to wake you up. You were so tired. He just didn't have the heart to." Chi-Chi expression softened. "That's ok though, we can have a day just for us girls until he comes back for you later."
'Great.' Usagi watched her mother. She looked so happy. She didn't want to spoil her fun. She sighed and faked a smile. "YAY!" She would rather be with her father, training, or at least watching him spar.
Chi-Chi turned back to her pot. "Just let me finish this. Then we can eat. And THEN, we can hang out. Why don't you go get dressed."
"Ok." Usagi turned to go back into her room.
"And no training cloths. I want you to wear your normal cloths." She watched her daughter walk back to her room. "Oh this is going to be so much fun. I get to spend the day with my baby."
~*~*~
Chi-Chi decided to take Usagi to Bulma's. She wanted to spend the day with just the three of them just as girls. With no worries. The three of them sat in the living room. Bulma and Chi-Chi were talking about the old days and Usagi was just plain bored. She didn't know anything about what happened in the past. She fiddled around with her fingers as the two adults talked to each other. She needed to have some fun. What she needed to do was find Vejita. "Umm, excuse me, Bulma?"
Bulma stopped talking about the time when she first met Goku and turned to Usagi. "Yes, what is it dear?"
"Well I was wondering if you could tell me where the bathroom is."
Bulma pointed to a hall on her left. "Well sweetie, it's just down this hall and to the left. It's the 2 door down."
Usagi smiled. Her plan had worked perfectly. "Ok, thanks." She got up from her chair and began walking down the hallway. She turned to the left because she knew that both of the women were watching her. "I wonder where Vejita is." She thought to herself for a moment. 'If I was Vejita, where would I be? Hmm.' She thought some more and finally it hit her. "I know, the gravity room that he is always talking about. That's where he would be." She looked around a bit. "Now I just have find out where it is."
Usagi walked down the hall a little ways only to have to turn right into a hallway with windows as a wall. She peered out the windows. She saw a spaceship looking thing outside. "That has to be it." She ran to the end of the hallway where she found a door that led outside. She opened it and walked out.
She walked up the ship's ramp that led to a door. By the door there was a light that was lit red. She turned the knob of the door and opened it. She stuck her head in to look around. Inside there was a big console in the middle of a huge room. "Cool."
She stepped inside and immediately fell to the ground. She tried desperately to push herself up but couldn't. Her whole body was plastered to the floor. She couldn't even lift her head. "What's going on?" Her bones felt like they were going to break. She could barely breath. She closed her eyes as the force grew on her tiny body.
When Usagi opened her eyes again she saw two feet in front of her. She would have looked up but she couldn't. "Tsk, Tsk, Usagi. I would have expected better from the daughter of Kakkorotto. Isn't he always teaching his brats to stay out of trouble and not create it? Don't you know the meaning of red lights? It means to STAY OUT!"
Usagi smiled to herself. "Vejita. Help me please."
"Well I guess I should. After all, I don't want to listen to your mother's complaining if every bone in your body was crushed to bits." Vejita walked over to the console that sat in the middle of the room.
Usagi could hear him pressing some buttons. All of a sudden the pressure was released and Usagi could once again move. She stood up. "Thank you Vejita."
Vejita snorted. "Yeah whatever. What do you want brat?" Vejita rubbed his arms with his hands.
"My mom brought me over. I got bored so I came to find you." Usagi started to walk around to get a better look at the gravity room.
"Am I supposed to feel honored?"
Usagi turned around to look at Vejita. "No, not unless you want to be."
"Are you not training today?"
"I'm training, just not right now. I have to wait until Makoto gets out of school. Then we can all train. Daddy is gonna train us out how to use Ki blast's and how to fly today. I'm so excited about it. I can't wait." Usagi sat down on the ground. She still ached from all the gravity.
'What a mysterious girl. She WANTS to learn how to fight. That's more than I can say for Bra.' "So you think you're ready for the big time fighting eh?"
Usagi nodded. "Yep, daddy says I'm making good progress."
Vejita raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Usagi was getting weirded out by Vejita. He was acting somewhat strange. "Uh, yeah."
"Good." Vejita smirked and lunged for Usagi with his fist. Usagi definitely was not anticipating that. She didn't dodge it. She was throw to the wall. "Kakkorotto was lying to you girl. Tell him you're not ready. You need more training."
Usagi stood up and rubbed her check where Vejita had just hit her. "That wasn't fair. I wasn't ready for that. We weren't even sparring."
Vejita walked up to Usagi and pinned her against the wall. "It doesn't matter if we are not fighting, little girl. You need to be ready for EVERYTHING. You never know when someone is going to come up to you and hit you. That's probably the most important thing that you will ever need to learn. You got that?"
Usagi cowered. She didn't know what Vejita was going to do to her. She nodded.
Vejita pulled away and release Usagi from the wall. "Good now get out of my sight."
Usagi ran past Vejita and then out of the room. She ran across the courtyard back into the building. She sighed as she leaned against the wall. "Maybe he's right, maybe I should watch everything more careful."
"Of course you should, didn't I tell you that when we first started."
Usagi looked down the hall and saw her father walking towards her. She smiled and ran for him. She jumped into his arms and hugged him. "Daddy!"
Goku hugged his daughter and then set her back down on the ground. "Your mother and Bulma have been looking for you. You shouldn't worry them."
Usagi looked down to the ground. "I know and I'm sorry, daddy. I won't do it again." She looked back up. "What are you doing here?"
"I went home to pick you up, but you weren't there to be picked up. So I came here. Are you ready to go and train?"
A smile appeared on Usagi's face. "I sure am. But…"
"What?"
"We have to go back home first. I don't have my cloths with me. Mommy wanted me to wear normal cloths." Usagi sighed. She didn't want to go back home. She just wanted to go and learn how to fight the fun way.
"Don't worry about that. I've got it covered. Since I have lived with your mother for so long I have learned many things about her. I didn't think that she would want you to come in your training GI so I went into your room and brought if for you. All you have to do now is go and change into it."
"Cool, Thanks daddy."
"No, problem."
~*~*~
Goku didn't make Usagi run to Minako's. He didn't want her tired for her training that day. It was important that she was in good condition for what he was going to put her through. He didn't make Minako run either when they left for the school.
The three fighters stood outside Meadows and waited for Makoto again. She came out wearing he green GI. She ran to them while waving. "Hey guys!"
Usagi waved back. "Hi Makoto."
Two boys ran out from behind her. They were two boys from Usagi's class. They stopped running when they saw Usagi. The one with brown hair pointed at her. "Hey look its Monkey girl."
The one with black hair looked around. "Where?"
"There."
"Oh, hey Monkey girl! Long time no see." Both boys laughed and ran away.
Usagi chased after them. She easily caught up to them. She pulled back on the shoulder of the boy with the black hair. He turned around to look at her. "Who are you calling a monkey?" She made a fist with her hands.
The boy laughed at her. "You, the freak." His friend joined in on the laughing.
Usagi grinned. "You shouldn't laugh at me anymore. I can beat you guys up now so you better be nice to me."
"Yeah right. You're just a girl. A monkey girl."
Usagi pulled back her fist and was about to hit when she heard her father. "Usagi, NO!" Usagi stopped what she was doing. She turned around to her father. He looked more disappointed in her then angry. She had let him down again. Her eyes began to water as she walked back to him.
The boys stuck their tongues out at Usagi as she walked away. "Daddy's girl. Go run back to your daddy!"
Goku crossed his arms as he watched Usagi walk back. "Usagi, you have to learn to control your temper. You can't just go and beat everyone up who makes fun of you. If you did, you would be no better then Haruka and Michiru."
Usagi looked up at her father. "I'm sorry. I'll try harder." She didn't want to be anything like those two.
Goku changed the subject as fast as he could. "Ok, I guess we should be on our way."
~*~*~
Usagi, Minako, and Makoto stood in a line and awaited their new training. Goku paced back and fourth in front of them. He stopped in front of Minako. "Ok, now then, I will only teach you guys how to fight with Ki blast and how to fly on one condition. You have to show me that you can fight hand to hand combat well, first."
"How do we do that daddy?" Usagi was stretching her legs behind her back.
"You have to beat me in a sparring match. All three of you against me. That shouldn't be that hard if you know what you're doing, right?"
(Ok, that's it for this chapter. Is it good or bad? Please review. Thank you ^_^)
