Chapter 3 --
Tai slowly opened her eyes. Light coming in from outside made her squint. Sitting up she rubbed her head feeling a headache coming. At that moment the door opened and a small lady walked in. She wore her blue hair fashionably short. Over a tight red dress she wore a spotless white lab coat. Seeing Tai was awake she grinned widely. "It's about time you woke up! So tell me how do feel? From what Goku told me having your tail pulled isn't a pleasant experience." Before Tai could open her mouth, two familiar girls let themselves into the room.
"Are you all right?" The girl who spoke had big blue eyes. Her hair was the same color as the womanand itfell to her shoulders. She was clothed in a miniskirt and tight tank top. The other girl looked annoyed. Her hair was raven colored and fell past her shoulders. She wore baggy shorts and t-shirt. Tai narrowed her eyes. She recognized them now. These were the same girls that were watching her and the man. Standing up she spoke stiffly to the black haired girl, " You're the one who pulled my tail aren't you?" The other girl narrowed her eyes. " You deserved it. Throwing that man into the car could land you in jail— she never finished. The door opened to admit a short flame haired man. Ignoring the three young ladies' he fixed his cold eyes on the woman in the lab coat. "Onna were the hell is my lunch? I order you to prepare it right now."
"Lighten up Vegeta; I was busy. The girl that Bra and Pan brought in just woke up. By the way I'm Bulma and this is Vegeta my overly dramatic mate, sorry husband. Oops, this is Bra and Pan" Bulma directed this last sentence to Tai. Tai smiled faintly before asking, " Did Vegeta not travel with two other saiyans?" Everyone in the room instantly tensed. Bulma stepped back, the two girls slipped into fighting stances. Vegeta stepped forward and growled, " Who the hell are you?"
Face flushed with excitement Tai answered, " I am Tai. Daughter of Lady Celeste and Raditiz who, if I'm not mistaken, has a younger brother named Kakorrot living here. I was born two months after my father died." Pan, who'd been listening intently, let out a gasp. Bra looked confused. Bulma looked shocked.Vegeta registered his shock with a faint twitch. In disbelief Pan said, "That can't be true! If it were that would make you my father's cousin. And besides, you'd be his age. You don't look a day over 16."
Tai glared at her and said tartly, " Did I say I was a full saiyan? If I were I'd look to be in my late 20's early 30's. I happen to be a demi saiyan. My mother's people were Da'jings, a warrior race nearly wiped out by Frieza. Not only that they age very, very, very, slowly at a certain point in life, Girls at 15, boys at 18. Besides I'm still a teenager. I'm not an adult till I'm 60."
Bra's mouth dropped. " That's amazing! We'd better call Goku and Gohan and let them now."
"Hey mom, Bra, Pan. Who's your friend?" The deep masculine voice caused everyone in the room (except Vegeta, who turned and left) to turn in surprise. "Trunks!" Pan grinned and greeted him with a kiss. Another man with black hair looked at Bra causing her to blush and say shyly, " Hi Goten." The third member of the party had red hair and green and stood uncertainly next to Goten.
Bulma smiled at the red head before saying " Hello Trunks. Goku has a family member visiting so I'm going to call him. Why don't you get acquainted with her?" She left the room.
Trunks scanned the group quickly before letting his eyes rest on Tai. He smiled and said, " Hi I'm Trunks. You are?" before Tai could reply Pan stepped forward and said sweetly, " Oh don't worry about her Trunks. She's just some street whore who thinks she can pass off as daddy's cousin." Everyone in the room gasped. Tai growled low in her throat. She brushed past Goten and nearly collided with the red haired boy. Their arms touched and she felt a sudden sensation dance up her spine. Before she could move her tail uncurled from around her waist and wrapped its self around his.
She turned around bright red. Silently she unwrapped it from his slim waist. As she was finishing he winked at her and said softly, "I'm Max. See ya."
