But Goku was right: the first day was the hardest.
The days began to fly by, and all too soon the Tournament was just two days away.
It was our last day of training. It was I who woke up Goku and Krillin with my scream. I had regained my speed under weight, and now it was a constant race between me and Goku to see who could be faster. The monsters were left in the dust.
The farmer and the construction workers gave us little gifts and well wishes when we finished, grateful for our amazing work. I traded with Goku: a stuffed purple dragon for his pink bunny. ^^;;
The bees and sharks and dinosaurs didn't stand a chance against us. And Lunch didn't sneeze once that day.
I almost cried as we ate, or rather inhaled, the last dinner she cooked us. It was delicious, with seven extra large courses. I've always wondered where she found the funds to get that food…
That evening, I gave Goku his last meditation lesson.
He'd finally started to get the hang of it. When I found him that night, he was already in our "spot", his face focused but relaxed, hovering an inch off the ground.
I tried to contain my squeal of delight, but I wasn't successful. His eyes shot open and, his concentration broken, he tumbled to the ground.
"Goku Goku Goku!!!" I cried, running to him and helping him up.
"Oww…"
"You did it, Goku!!! You did it!!!!"
"Then why does it hurt?"
I just smiled and shook my head. "No no, Goku. That was just for when you made me fall. But you were really doing it!!"
His face slowly lit up. "I… was?"
"Uh huh!!! You were meditating, Goku, truly deeply meditating. You were this high off the ground!" I put my hand down to show him.
His face suddenly went from confused to ecstatic. "I did it, I did it, I did it!!!!" We were jumping around insanely now, holding hands and yelling and singing all at once. I gave him a big hug and smiled. "You've graduated now, Goku. You don't need anymore lessons!"
I thought I saw his face fall slightly, but it may have been my imagination. Suddenly he seemed to get another idea and it lit up again. "I want you to meet a friend of mine, Usa."
The next thing I remember, I was hurtling through the sky on that wonderful yellow cloud. It had been years since I had experienced the joy of flying, and I'd never ridden the Nimbus without Daddy. I held onto Goku tightly as my hair flew out like streamers behind us. I squealed in delight.
Flying over a wildflower-filled meadow, Goku reached down and scooped me up some of the lilies. Blushing, and without looking up, he offered the little white flowers to me.
"Um… these are for you… cause they're pretty and… so are you." He said the last part very quickly and stuck out his hand, a pink hue on his cheeks.
My face lit up. "Domo Arigato, Goku-chan!" They were beautiful little flowers. I gave him a quick peck on the cheek, causing him to turn beet red. But he was soon distracted as the Nimbus gave a lurch and we almost turned upside-down.
Over the forest and the mountains we flew, through the valleys and above the river. The spray of the sea cooled our laughing faces while the warmth of the setting sun warmed our skin.
It is amazing and truly fascinating to go whizzing into the sunset at break neck speed. If you ever get the opportunity, be sure to take it. It is one my most tender and precious memories.
What I would give now for the little yellow Nimbus to come flying up to me, like a dog returning to its master, with a small spiky haired boy offering me his hand and assuring me, "It's fun! Don't be afraid; I'm right here."

AN: Another shortie, sorry. The next few will probably be, too. I'll try to make them a bit longer, though. Next time:
I tried to drift off to sleep, but I couldn't. Every time I closed my eyes or began to doze, thoughts of *him * invaded my head. I blushed just thinking about him. 'Am I falling for him?' my innocent mind wondered. No, I had already fallen. Hard. I looked over at him snoring and blushed again.
How sweet!!! Childhood love. Will be up ASAP. Arigato minna-chan. Ja ne!
