CFAF: well people I decided to update sooner than I normally do because…I got a new reviewer!!!  So all of you thank…fire_angel…well I completely…well I have been pessimistic today cynical and also… sadistic so I am not going to bore you all with my comments but I will thank you all for the reviews…

Purple witchy angel thank you my faithful reviewer…not that everyone isn't faithful but…hey…I felt like saying that thank you…yep…thanks…compassion by the way

            Tanuki!!  She did show up!! Wow!!! Just kidding with you Tanuki…don't rub it in…why do I even say things like that? It just provokes you…

            Fire_angel: thank you so much for reviewing…your review made my day…until I got home from school…yes I was checking my e mail at school I admit it…so shoot me..

Well I have bored you all enough with my pessimism I am going to start the chapter now.

Chapter 12 back off tanuki I know it is different I didn't count the a/n as a chapter: yummy!!  Food!!

            Well this will be interesting. Bardock thought dropping in between the two so he could make sure nothing bad happened, like Vegeta attacking her again…but more importantly to have a good view of their facial expressions. 

            "Brat" Vegeta nodded.

            "Vegeta" Kid gulped.  "I-I am sorry Vegeta I really am.  Thank y-you for not killing me though." 

            Vegeta grunted and started to say, "It's my fa…" but suddenly a semi-human looking girl with raccoon ears and striped clothes came screaming down the hallway.  A boy with malicious eyes and a fireball in his hand was chasing her, his long dark brown hair and (this is a quote from tanuki) really, really cool pants streaming out behind him.

            He yelled "I'll get you Tanuki!"

            "What did I do Hao!?" 

            "Wow."  Kid blinked "and here I thought WE had problems.  You never chased me with a ki ball…let alone a fireball!!  What were you saying again?"

            "Well Brat why don't I just forgive you and we can move on."  Kid raised an eyebrow and squinted at Vegeta.  He looked at her quizzically... (For those of you who aren't bookworms that means 'you comin' stupid?' at least in this situation.)  "You coming Brat?" 

            "Yep!"  wow arrogant isn't he? Maybe it's a prince royalty thing.  Wonder what he was really saying before.  It sure wasn't that…Oh well!!! Kid followed Vegeta.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Vegeta and Kid walked into the cafeteria and all eyes immediately fell on them.  Radditz and Nappa stood up Nappa stood at attention. 

Radditz walked up to them and asked "And how are you two doing?"  Almost cautiously he asked as if working with two active bombs that might go off at any moment.  Vegeta grunted

And Kid said, "Great!  Why do you ask?"  

Radditz stared at Kid with a strange look, curiosity mixed with wonder and amazement, and a twinge of bewilderment.  "Kid do you know HOW to hold a grudge?"

"Huh?"

 "Let me rephrase that…have you ever held a grudge?"

"Why do you ask?" 

"Doesn't matter." Radditz said incredulously "Just answer."

"Well let me see…there was…no hm."  Kid had a thoughtful look on her face.  *deep breath* everybody looked expectant... (People this conversation is interesting everyone was listening…maybe they don't have lives)  "…forget that…what about…no, uh well I guess I haven't yet.  But hey!  I might!"  Kids eyes darkened, "There are some things for which I would hold a grudge."  Her countenance brightened considerably, "But it's not likely that those would happen soooo… I'm hungry!!" 

Radditz laughed, "Well you are in a cafeteria!"

"Well than I am going to get something to eat!" She walked to get a tray and food nearly bouncing with joy. 

"Is she always like that?" Vegeta questioned when the beings in the cafeteria returned to their meals. 

Radditz went back to his previous table picked up his tray and made his way with Vegeta to an empty table away from the other eaters.  "You want to know if she is like that twenty-four seven?  Or if that is her actual personality?"

"Both" was the immediate reply.

"She usually does act like that.  It is rare for her not to.  But while she acts like an idiot she's not.  She is very bright and hides her intelligence behind that exterior…so well that I always forget, except when people ask how intelligent she actually is.  But while that is true sometimes she doesn't have a reign on her tongue, like what happened with you.  So no, that is not her actual personality." 

"You are telling me that she's smart? When does she show this so called intelligence?"

"If you get in trouble with the authorities…at least on Vegeta-sei…don't go to a lawyer go to her.  Brat likes to argue, debate, as she calls it.  But she doesn't like people to be mad at her.  She gets along with most everybody even if it is a kind of love hate thing.  Sometimes those she likes best are those she argues with…sometimes not.  She is often very quiet but not always, sometimes she is very loud.  She won't insult you as much as time goes on.  I think.  I think she has cabin fever."

"I asked if that was her personality not what her real personality was." The wry comment escaped the height challenged prince.

"Sorry Vegeta." Radditz sheepishly apologized and rubbed the back of his head. 

"Soooooo, you going to get food Vegeta?" 

"What?! Oh uh, Kid!"  Vegeta nearly jumped out of his skin. 

"Yeah, uh, I'll be right back."

"How long have you been there?" inquired Radditz.

"Just since I asked if he was going to get food, why?"

"No reason."

            Kid sat down and began to eat, and as beginning a casual conversation she asked, "So what did you tell him?"

            "What?!"

            "What did you tell him about me?"

            "I thought you were only…"

            "I was only there a second, but knowing you, you talked, so what?"

            "Your personality; that you are smart." 

            "Now that wasn't very nice of you.  Lying and besides I like to keep anything like that a secret.  I like to keep the act going Radditz.  Maybe he will forget." 

            Radditz chuckled, "I doubt that, He has a very good memory."

            Kid got an evil glint in her eye, "speaking of memory, that reminds me, wasn't I supposed to meet you back in my room in what, ten minutes?"

            "Radditz laughed, "Yep you were, but were you actually going to be there on time?" 

            Kid looked slightly ashamed but not much, "Uh, no?"

            Radditz the last bite of his meal and than said, "Well I figured as much, you still don't need to get ready for, forty minutes."

            "WHAT?!  You booger."

            "Really?  Its not like you were planning to go anytime soon you came here didn't you?"  Radditz drawled.

            "But…It's because Vegeta made me!"

            "You're in denial."

            "Really? I didn't know I was in a river Egypt…the Nile how weird…I was positive I was here." She sounded completely serious when she said this.

            "Egypt? Nile? What the heck does that mean Brat?"

            "Saying from my home planet sorry," Kids face went bland and she became very focused on her meal.

            I wonder what's wrong.  She went from talkative to quiet so fast. Radditz pondered this while Vegeta headed over to the table with a large tray of food in hand.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

CFAF: well I feel better now it has taken me three days to get this finished for once I didn't just sit down and type this time I sat down and typed for short amounts of time instead of just going on a spree…yep…uh huh so yep!  I am not depressed now.
