For Andrea, now to be referred to as Kara, the next three months were painful.....literally. Around the beginning of the fourth, something very interesting happened.....

"PUNCH! YOU CAN'T WIN A FIGHT BY BLOCKING EVERYTHING!!!" Piccolo said, after being blocked for the umpteenth time.

Kara was getting sick and tired of being yelled at. At home, she had been renowned for her short temper. "FINE!" she screamed, and threw her fist out over towards Piccolo. For a brief second, she felt her fist collide against something.

"Whoa! Kara, you annihilated him!!!" Gohan said, flying up to where Kara and Piccolo had been sparring. Yep. She had been taught how to fly. Now, THAT had been an adventure:

Piccolo: You both will be learning how to fly now

Kara: Fly?!

Gohan: Really?!

Piccolo: Yes.

Kara: Dude, like, in the air?!

Piccolo: No, in the ocean. YES, IN THE AIR!!

Kara: O_O;;;;

Gohan: Do we start now? ^-^

Piccolo: Yes -_-U

Kara: O_o

*five min. later*

Kara: *is falling off cliff* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! *BANG* Ow.....

.....Anyway, Kara opened her eyes, and looked up to where piccolo used to be.

"Uh.....I swear, I didn't mean to....." she said, frantically dropping down to where there was, now, a huge crater.

"Well...that was interesting....." Piccolo said from behind her. Kara whirled around to see Piccolo, with one side of his face bruised very badly.

"Wow.....Kara, you rock!" Gohan said, grinning.

"Yeah, that's what's interesting. I thought you had never fought before," Piccolo said, glaring at her.

"I.....I haven't!" she said, now all hot and sweaty and nervous.

"Hn. Well, it seems if you get mad enough, or if you just want to, you could kill someone with that right. I really don't want to see how you kick. I already have basically lost use of the left side of my face....." Piccolo said.

"Wha?! You didn't die! Sorry about your face....." Kara said.

"You were slow, so I was able to dodge, but barely. Now all we need to work on is your speed. That should fix enough.....Should lift your power level as well," Piccolo said. "We start tomorrow."

*ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER*

"YOU'RE KIDDING!!" Piccolo suddenly said, turning east.

"What? What's the matter?!" Gohan asked.

"They're here....." Piccolo said, not moving.

For about five seconds, Kara was excited to meet Vegeta, and she was all happy and hyper and wonderful.

Then Life and Reality both came over and slapped her a few times. She realized that this was real, and she could be flying to her death by Vegeta. This wasn't some controlled reality. Anything could happen out there, and she had no idea if she would live to see tomorrow. ~*~
