Chapter 13
2 months later
Athena was sitting in a tree trying to think of something that she could do to pass the time. 'Gosh, one year is a long time when you're bored,' she sighed. 'Maybe I can train with Piccolo,' she thought. She shrugged her shoulders and took off.
It didn't take long to find him. He wasn't far from where she was to being with. He was meditating by a waterfall. "Hey there Piccolo, do you mind if I join you?"
Piccolo opened one eye and looked at her, "If you can be quiet, I guess you can."
She stood there for a moment, and then decided to just ignore the insult. She began to levitate by him, and focused her mind. She sat there for about 3 hours before she was finally brought out of it. She opened her eyes suddenly. When she came out of it she saw Piccolo standing by the edge of the water.
He turned to her and said, "You have great concentration; you were really deep in meditation. Yet all at the same time you are so aware of your surroundings."
Athena tilted her head, "What do you mean by that?"
He turned back to the water, "When you were meditating, I could sense how concentrated you were; I thought that you would be aware of your surroundings, so I threw a rock at you. To my surprise though you stopped it in mid air."
"You did, I don't even remember that."
"I know, you would have come out of meditation if you did know that I did it. You are so balanced with you surroundings you can sense when something is going to hit you or something, so you stop it without even knowing you did."
Athena put her hands behind her head, "Wow, that's kind of cool. Well, I am hungry, so I will see ya around."
"Bye."
Athena went to Goku's house to see Chi-Chi. "How have you been doing?"
She was happy to see Athena, "Aside from the fact that I miss my husband and child, good. So how is Gohan doing, I don't really trust that green man."
"He is doing just fine," she replied.
"That's good. I don't know why every one let him go with him in the first place; without my permission too!" she shouted
Athena put her hand on Chi-Chi's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will make sure nothing happens to him."
"Thanks."
Just then Athena sensed a power level go way up. "Chi-Chi, I am so sorry but I have to go. I will stop by tomorrow and we can have lunch."
Chi-Chi turned and waved, "Ok…"
Athena took off in the air. She was almost to the location of the power source, when from the distance she saw a huge ape. "Oh, Gohan must have looked at the full moon." She looked up in the sky. "Looks like he doesn't know how to control it. Wow… the moon is so pretty… I haven't really looked at a full moon in a long time." She began to twitch, "I guess I am having a hard time controlling it too. Oh well, if I do transform I can control myself in that form too." She was staring at the moon when all of a sudden it exploded. "What the hell," she shouted. She looked down and saw that Piccolo was the one that did it.
She flew down to him. "Why did you do that?"
"Because it was the only way to get Gohan back to normal," he responded.
"There are other ways you know," she snarled.
"Well the way I did it worked didn't it."
"Ya but now we don't have a moon! You know you are going to piss a lot of people off, including me!"
"So what, I could care less who I piss off," he said as he crossed his arms and looked away.
"Whatever. You better be glad that I can fix this."
Piccolo looked at her in shock, "What do you mean you can fix this?"
She smiled and tilted her head, "Just watch and learn." She flew high in the air to wear you couldn't see her from the ground. She spread her arms out and closed her eyes. She focused all of her energy on the moon. Then the sky lit up, and the moon began to come back together. After about 30 minutes the moon was completely back together, and was perfectly fine. Athena put her arms down and fell from the sky. Piccolo ran to catch her. He laid her on the ground and tried to wake her.
A few minutes later she finally opened her eyes. She grabbed her head, "Gosh, that took more energy than I thought it would." She fell back down, "I don't think I will be training for the next couple of weeks. This took to much out of me."
Piccolo was just speechless. "H…How did…. How did you do that?" he managed to get out.
Athena's world was spinning, "It's… it's a spell that I learned long ago. It's a small spell, but it works on anything that has been broken. I didn't even think it would work on something that big, but it did." She laughed, "Do you mind taking me home, I can't really move."
"Umm…. S… sure," he said as he pick her up and put her over his shoulder. "Where do you live?"
"About 40 miles north of hear."
Piccolo nodded. 'Wow, I have never seen anything like that in my life,' he thought to himself. 'She must be really strong, to have enough energy to put the moon back together.'
Athena scolded herself, 'Athena you idiot, you shouldn't have done that and you know it! What were you thinking! You are messing everything up! This one little thing could screw up the whole future!'
Piccolo looked behind him, "What's wrong?"
She looked up, "What…oh, umm… nothing. I'm just really tired, that's all. I just need about a weeks worth of sleep and I should be good."
Piccolo laughed.
