Chapter I Morning

It was the beginning of a new day, Saturday to be exact. Piccolo had been in is meditative state well before dawn. Everyone else at the Lookout, however, was just beginning to awaken. Mr. Popo walked into the kitchen to make breakfast for himself. Dende appeared only seconds later stifling a yawn while moving through the kitchen and into the open living room. He made his way over to the long couch then collapsed onto it. Pulling the remote control out from underneath the couch, he turned on the television set and propped his feet up on the coffee table. Keeping the remote under the couch may seem like an odd idea to some, but it didn't get nearly lost as much as some remotes do. And, the guardian of the Earth put his remote wherever he felt like putting it!

About five hours later, Piccolo walks in to find Dende watching Pokémon with a seriously bored look on his face and Mr. Popo sitting in a recliner reading Genie Weekly. He began looking around for someone, but he already knew he probably wouldn't find her here. He turned to Dende and asked, "Where is she?"

Dende looked up from the annoying adventures of Ash, Pikachu, and their friends to answer with, "She's still sleeping. I can't believe she hasn't woken up though. Ultimate Muscle is already over, and that is her favorite show too."

Mr. Popo began to speak, "She was up extremely late last night studying I believe."

"Oh she was, was she?" Piccolo did not look very convinced.

"Chi-Chi had sent some of Gohan's school books over so that she could use them to study."

"Well, she can't sleep all day." Piccolo left the two and headed down the hall, then up some stairs, and finally down a hallway stopping at the third door on the left. He knocked a couple of times and waited, but after hearing no answer he opened the door. Inside was a black dresser, a black desk, of course you would have noticed the massive amounts of books and papers covering basically everything by now. There was one small twin-sized bed, and in the middle of it was a lump underneath a plaid white, black, and yellow comforter. Piccolo eyed the mess and "lump" with a frown. He then walks over to the bed trying not to seriously injure himself or the books for fear of Chi-Chi's wrath, but sadly there were some unavoidable accidents. When he finally made it, he ripped the cover off of the bed only to find more books. His frown changed to a growl which then changed into muttering. Her ki had placed her in this room, but she was nowhere to be found. He was about to leave when he noticed a scrap of blue fabric peeking out from behind the open closet door. Well, when he walked around he was rewarded with the sight of a young, seventeen year old girl with reddish-blonde hair save for a few streaks of blue tied back into a ponytail letting her jagged looking bangs fall freely, wrapped up in a blue blanket with some large Japanese characters sewn on in black. Her skin was definitely tanned, but not to the point were it was completely brown. All in all, she was definitely pretty. Piccolo nudged her with his foot gently trying to of course wake her up.

She began to stir then finally sat up rubbing her eyes and yawning. Her eyes finally opened revealing two orb-like eyes of an astonishing emerald green. They were certainly unusual and almost glowing. She finally looked up only to see an upset Piccolo glaring back at her. Startled, she let out a surprised yelp, but quickly regained her thoughts and asked, "What did I do this time?"

"Alyssa, I don't know how you can live with all of this mess. I don't know how many times I've told you to clean this disaster area up! And, just how late were you up last night, and is there a reason you were sleeping in your closet?"

"I only stayed up until three, and I fell asleep in the closet because I was looking for this one book that was still inside the box in here. I accidentally tripped and fell , but I guess I found it comfortable down here and fell asleep. Plus of course there are books on the bed."

"Yes I noticed that," he said with a frown. "Well, they wouldn't have been there if you had cleaned your room like I asked you to. However, I'll excuse you for staying up that late because you were studying, but you had better get up and clean this room young lady."

"Alright. Hey, what time is it anyway?"

"It's almost twelve by now."

"Grrrrrrrr... Dende is dead!" she said the last part in a monotonous. (If that is possible). Piccolo had already left, but she knew he had heard her, him and his super-hearing. Alyssa shook her head and looked down at the floor of her room surveying the disaster. Sighing, she began to collect the books and place them back in their respective cardboard boxes Chi-Chi had sent them in. 'I'm so dead when school starts because I'll be studying my brains out. I hope I can handle all of this.'
