Chapter 3

School and so on....

Not four hours later Makane was wide awake,her system had a built in alarm clock that woke her up in the early depths of the morning. She had gone for a week without sleep once.On the 8th day however,she had passed out in mid-step.

She didn't know how long she could hold up nowadays,but she knew no-sleep was bad for you.

The little light from the window poored in,the sun hadn't come up yet but she could see the pinks,purples and oranges mix with the blues and blacks of the night,the stars were fading slowly,she shifted under her white comforter,moving the white pillow at the same time and turned over to see the red digital numbers of the clock read 5:45.

Her eyes adjusted to the dark quickly,soaking in the light from all around,some from outside,some from the city street lights,still shining bright.

She loved this hour of the day.Quickly throwing the covers of she stood up and stretched over backwards touching the floor with her hands.

Walking into the bathroom she turned the light on and stripped of her green,black and blue checkered pj bottoms and the balck spagetti-strap top.She also took her hair down and stepped into the shower,"All jets 73 degrees." she ordered prefering not to do it manually as she was feeling lazy at the moment.The soothing water began to gush out and relax her body as she scrubbed with a soap lathered duckie-sponge.

As she reached for the shampoo,she recited the equations in her head,absently she squeezed the bottle of salon selectives,when the gooey feeling of shampoo didn't come in her hand,she looked at the bottle and swore.Opening it up she filled it up with a bit of water and swished it around a bit,she poored the solution on her head and scrubbed.

Stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around herself she didn't even notice the knock on the door.

She usually zoned out in the bathroom.

"Makane?" came a voice and the little saiyan jumped on the tiled floor and almost slipped but quickly regained her balance.

"Bra?" Makane called recognizing her sister's voice,"What are you doing up so early?" she asked as she walked out into the bedroom where the blue-haired beauty had made herself perfectly comfortable lounging on her bed.

Bra snorted,"It's 7:30!" she replied,"Mom sent me up to see if you were still alive."she flipped a bit of blue hair over her shoulder and eyed her sister up and down,she was still up really early,Makane smirked and knew she'd complain later about no beauty sleep,"Well one thing's for sure," Bra replied,"At least now I can help you pick out your clothes."

"You mean pick my clothes." Makane mumbled softly so her sister couldn't hear as she was allready on the other side of the room rumaging through the clothes,there weren't many,and her sister began pullling out things in disgust.

"What is this!?" she demanded holding up a big t-shirt.

"On earth,we call it a t-shirt,on Bra I don't know what they call it,I have curently to learn that unspeakable language."she replied sarcastically and grabbed the t-shirt hanging it back up as her sister ignored her comment and continued her rampage through the small closet.

"Ugh!How can you wear these things?" she asked holding up a pair of pink modrobes.

Makane rolled her eyes skywards and sighed,"Well dear sister,you take the pants like so," she took the pants,"And put your legs in them like so-" Bra grabbed the pants back and scowled,"Why don't you just agree with me?I believe I'm a bit more experienced in this area than you." she replied picking through the clothes again.

"Why don't you just take a pitchfork and a torch to them?"Makane replied and proceeded to tell her sister they had uniforms for school before her sister convinently pulled it out with a snort of disgust,"What is this dis-tasteful thing!?" she asked waving it around,"There should be a law against this!"

Makane put her hands on her hips,"Are you done?" she asked annoyed,Bra shrugged casually as if it was nothing,"That," the fiery yet remotely calm little Breif awnsered,"Is my school uniform."

Bra eyed it again with disaproval,"Blech!Just what you'd expect boring school boring clothes."

Makane swiped the uniform and began to change,"Thanks Bra I'll be down in a minute!" she said irritated as Bra left,about time.

It was now 8'o'clock,school started at nine.

No time to dry her hair,she rushed downstairs jumping two steps at a time and finally jumping the last few stairs.

She was half-way out the door when she heard Bulma call,"Kane eat some breakfast!" from the table,doing a 180 the black-haired Brief grabbed a piece of toast ruffled Bra's hair and ran out faster than before with Bra right on her heels screeching in protest and flailing her arms.

By the time she got to school it was 8:45.

"Miss Breif take a seat." the teacher responded as Makane ran into the classroom at the bell,she had used her super-speed too make it.She nodded her now-wavy hair tumbling down her shoulders and took a seat behind a sea-foam green haired girl by the name of Nibico.

Nibico turned aroun,her ruby eyes sparkling,"Hey,I love your hair." she whispered fingering her hair as an afterthought then continued with the conversation,"I thought you were gonna be late."

Makane smirked,"Nope,I made it,didn't have time to dry my hair though." she whispered back and ran her hands through her hair combing it with her fingers and letting it fall in strands.

Nibico shook her head,"Brief were you up all night training?" she said disaprovingly as the teacher wrote on the board.

"No." Makane lied quickly,"Well,it wasn't really training..."

Nibico's face screwed up," I hope you're not to tired.You could pass this test without studieing at all!"

It was no understatement,she was like her mother,Makane was a genius.

Blowing a strand of ebony hair out of her eyes Makane took a pencil with the Capsule Corp. logo on it.

The teacher began to walk down the rows of students and passed out the tests.

The Brief looked up and swore she saw a sweatdrop materialate from the back of her friend's head.

When the teacher dropped the paper in front of her,she knew why.

A small smile spread across her face,despite herself,this test was 8 pages both sides long.

"Damn it Brief!It isn't fair!I wish I was born into a genius family." Nibico huffed and crossed her arms,"It couldn't have been that easy?" she asked and eyed her friend closely,Makane eyed her friend without moving her head and rasied a brow.School was over,and it was a beautiful day,she felt like taking a walk away from the city.

Nibico let out a groan and pouted,earning a few looks from some passing boys.

The frown turned to a smile and Makane rolled her eyes.

"Well,one thing's for sure-" Nibico waved at the boys,"When it comes to boys,I'm an A."

"Are you substituding for my sister?" Makane asked seriously.Nibico put on a confused face,"I've never met your sister-i've met your brother."she said with a dreamy look on her face.

"Keep your drool inside your mouth please." Makane wrinkled her nose,"Argh!Nibico back to Earth!" she snapped her fingers in front of her friend's face and Nibico brought up a hand to playfully slap her,but as usual Makane dodged before her hand even got half-way up.

Trunks' had this effect on every girl.It droove Makane absolutly NUTS!

She could only begin to count the girls who had asked to come over,and had spent the time drooling over her brother,the memories made her shiver uncontrollably,the same went for Bra.

"Hey Kan you allright?"Nibico asked suddenly.

"Trunks." Makane muttered and shuddered again.

"Oh but he's so cute!" Nibico practically squeeled and Makane had to cover her sensetive saiyan ears.

"Oh but he's so my brother!" Makane replied and brushed her hair behind her shoulders.

Nibico's face lit up,"Good!So you can't have a totally perfect life,you can't have Trunks!" she giggled as Makane erupted,"Eww!Eww!I LIVE WITH TRUNKS OKAY?Who just happens to be related to me and-"she stopped before she could say "loves somebody else." who just happend to be Pan Son.

"Aaaaaand?" Nibico pressed.

Makane made a face,"And I know things about Trunks that no girl of any species should need to know."

With that she shuddered,remembering some things she'd have prefered to forget about her brother.

"Hey I got to go." her friend said quickly,"I have tutoring." she waved as she walked off,"Okay bye!" Makane waved back and called as her friend ran quickly to the other building.

She sighed and decided she would take a walk away from the city and just see where her feet took her.

A familiar feeling washed over her,it was faint,but familiar.

It was chi vibes,a bit stronger than the others surrounding her.

She tried to distinguish who's chi it was,and decided,as it came closer it was-

"Piccolo!" Makane shouted and waved her hand up in greeting to the green Namek,being as tall as he was,Makane could see his head over the crowd.

"Hey." Piccolo greeted non-ceremoniously,"I came to-uh-"

"Walk me home?" she offered and she swore she saw Piccolo blush,well if the different shade on his cheeks before he turned his head away was blush.

"Actually," he said regaining his supposed lost composure and looking down at her,"i came to get some groceries for Gohan."

Makane raised a brow and silently wondered why Gohan wouldn't just get it himself,he had super-saiyan speed,and Videl was rich.

Piccolo avioded eye contact,Makane however was eyeing him,Piccolo was wearing the usual black baggy pants and tank top shirt,held by a purple sash tied at his waste,he also wore his hat and the long white cape.

Makane almost giggled at the sight on school,but she was to used to it.

Other students however stared openly.

Once the fiery little Breif shot them a glance though they continued thier previous activities without glancing back again.

"Um Piccolo,if you're going to the grocerie store,why are you at school?" she asked a bit hesitantly.

"I don't have to awnser questions!" Piccolo awnsered quickly,and Makane had to keep back a giggle,the closest grocerie store was way out of his way.

"It's okay Piccolo,I'm glad you came." she smiled putting a hand on the big Namek's shoulder as he looked down at her.

He growled and let out a frustrated sigh the pulled the tiny Brief into a hug.

Makane giggled as Piccolo lifted her clear off the ground.

Some students gave them looks which they stopped when Piccolo glared back at them.

She knew why he had come,but chose not to say anything,or think about it for fear he would read her mind.

"I'm escorting you home." he didn't ask her this he told her this.

"Actually Piccolo,I was going to go for a walk away from the city,do you mind?" she replied as he walked protectively beside her,obviously enjoying the attention he got.

Makane giggled again,"What's so funny?" he asked.

"You." she replied,then she stopped short in mid step and eyed the towering green Namek suspiciously and carefully,"You're not reading thier minds are you?" she asked slowly.

Piccolo put on a grin.

"Piccolo!"

"What!?"

"Nevermind!" she flung her hands up into the air in hopelessness and took off into the air.

"Hey!" Piccolo called after her and caught up.

After flying as far away from the city as she pleased,a sudden power washed right over her,it was like smacking into a wall of chi, she and Piccolo stopped striaght in midair.

Piccolo's eyes were wide.

"D-do you feel that!?" he stuttered.

She nodded her dark head,"I'm afraid so,I'm going to find out." she shot down into the trees before Piccolo could protest.

The tall green Namek let out a growl,"Makane!" he shouted and shot down after her.
