Chapter 11: Outbursts

Pan and Cali were quiet for several minutes after Cali explained what happened. "If I know Marron, I know she didn't mean any of that…" Pan thought. "Cali?" she questioned the 17 year old. "Yes Pan-Sama?" Cali replied. "Your mother would never say something like that and mean it. She loves you Cali, we all do. And I know more than anybody else, that you are not an accident. You're nothing but one of the best things that's ever happened to any of us." Pan said. Cali was touched by Pan's words. She always felt so useless and hopeless. "I doubt that Pan. My mother sounded like she meant every word of what she said." Cali answered. Pan shook her head. "No Cali, I know she didn't. Marron's just panicked. After all, this whole thing happened so fast." She explained. "Hmm." Cali mumbled sipping her hot chocolate.

Pan knew that Cali still didn't believe her. "She's just as stubborn as Trunks" she mused. Pan chuckled at the thought. For never knowing who her father was, Cali sure acted a lot like him.

"So, while we're all here, could you guys care to explain something?" Mara inquired. "Uh…what would that be?" TJ answered nervously. "How did Cali start to glow like that? I've never seen anything like it!" she stated. The gang froze in the air. "…um…special effects?" Angel answered with a sweatdrop. Eve glared. "Alright guys! Land now and tell us what the bloody hell is going on!" she yelled. The DBU gang sighed and landed in a field near Pan's house. Bikini, of course, slammed Tai into the ground as they landed. "I really hate her…" Tai thought as his face was planted into the grass.

"Ok, can you guys swear not to tell a soul?" Boxer asked. The three girls shot them a peace sign. "You bet!" they chimed in unison. Boxer took a breath. "Alright, well you see, the reason Cali turned gold was because she is 25% saiyan." He said. "Sai-what?" Tanya questioned. "Saiyan. It's an alien race that was destroyed 70 years ago. Or at least most of it was. To this day there are only two full saiyans left, my great grandpa Goku, and TJ, Boxer, and Bikini's grandpa Vegeta." Angel answered. "And Kail here is a Souljin, a small surviving race of the saiyans." She finished gesturing towards a smiling Kail.

"And the reason Cali was able to glow was because she went super saiyan. This means, she ascended her power to the next level of saiyan." Bikini said. She then let out a smirk. "Of course, there are far more levels then just super saiyan. I happen to be at the fourth." Bikini stated proudly. Her friends just rolled their eyes. "What an ego…" Boxer thought. Eve, Mara, Tanya, and Tai all looked confused. "So that explains why you guys are so strong!" Mara exclaimed. "And why you have tails?" Tanya questioned. TJ nodded. "Yes, but as you can see only Boxer, Bikini and I have them." He replied. "Blimey! This is incredible!" Eve exclaimed.

Tai was in a state of amazement. He finally figured out the gang's secret after all these years of trying to crack the case. "I can't believe it, Cali's part alien!" He mused. Tai quickly shook his head and entered reality again. "Hey, shouldn't we still be looking for Cali?" he asked. "You're right." Angel answered. Boxer turned his head towards the direction of Pan's house. "Uh…Angel? I think Cali's at your house…" he stated. Angel looked in the same direction as Boxer and picked up Cali's ki. She nodded and started running to her home. "CALI!" she shouted while she ran. Cali was, and always would be her best friend, and Angel was determined to help her. "ANGEL, WAIT FOR US!" everyone shouted chasing after Angel, with Eve, Mara, Tanya, and Tai in the rear.

Pan heard a knock at the door. "Coming!" she called. When Pan opened the door, she saw 9 smiling teenagers looking suspicious. "HELLO MAJIN PAN-SAMA!" they all rang out. Pan's eyes narrowed. "Is there a reason you guys are cutting class and coming to my door?" she questioned. "Sensei, is Cali here?" Kail queried. Pan had a sweatdrop on her head. "Um…no! Why do you ask?" she lied in a panic. Bikini smirked. "You know cuz, you're really bad at lying!" she exclaimed. "That's sensei to you Bikini!" Pan snapped. Bikini just let out another smirk. "What? You ARE my cousin after all…" she replied trying to get past the door. "You can't go inside!" Pan barked.

"And why not?" TJ asked. "Because…because…" Pan tried to reply but was at a lost for words. "So Cali is in there!" Tanya exclaimed. Pan sighed. "Look, I don't think Cali is in the mood to talk right now kids…" she answered. "We just want to see if she's ok." Tai replied. Pan reconciled for a moment. "Fine. C'mon in." she said solemnly. The gang followed her in the small, yet cozy home.

"CALI!" They all shouted. Cali was startled by their greeting, and fell out of her chair. "Guys, what are you doing here?" she questioned in shock. "We wanted to see if you were alright." Tai answered. Cali's eyes grew wide and her mouth slightly dropped. "…what are you doing Tai?" she asked almost repeating her earlier question. "I just said it, I wanted to see if you were alright…" he said in almost a whisper. The two just stared at each other and there was silence I the room. This made the gang uncomfortable…

TJ cleared his throat rather loudly, bringing the two out of their daze. "Well Cali?" he inquired. Cali sighed. "Yeah, I'm fine." She lied. Angel slammed her fists on the table. "DAMN IT CALI! YOU'RE PARENTS ALREADY LIED AND I DON'T NEED YOU TO FOLLOW THEIR EXAMPLE! I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR KAMI'S SAKE AND IT HURTS LIKE HELL KNOWING YOU CAN'T TELL ME IF YOU'RE ALRIGHT!" she yelled nearly crying. Cali just kept her face the same and took a sip of the hot chocolate. She showed no emotion, but was deeply hurt by what Angel said because she knew that Angel was right. But Cali didn't want to talk about the situation all over again. "Heh, ok fine. I get it. You don't wanna talk. Well then, I'm outta here. I don't need this. If you don't want my help Cali, that's fine. I respect that. I just want to know the truth. As hard as that may be, I just want the truth." Angel responded to Cali shaking her head. "Later Blondie…" she stated exiting the door. Boxer was about to go out the door but TJ placed his hand on Boxer's shoulder. "I'll go talk to her, you guys help Cal." He chided walking out the door.

"Well, if she won't tell Angel what wrong, then there's not much hope for the rest of us." Mara commented. The gang lowered their heads in disappointment. "Cali…" Tai thought looking at the blonde girl, who only stared at an empty cup.

Angel sat down on a rock placing her chin into her hand. "Stubborn little…" Angel grunted. "Angie…" a voice called out. Angel's ears perked up and turned around to see TJ. "Hey Teej." She said. "What was that all about?" he asked sitting right beside her. Angel closed her eyes and frowned. "Humph, if she doesn't want me to help her, I'm fine with that." She replied. "Geezes Angel, chill. Cali's just confused right now. You and I both know she's normally not like that." TJ stated. "Yeah, but I mean…she's my best friend. She knows she can trust me with anything. And I'm frightened that she can't even tell me if she's ok." Angel answered with concern.

TJ nodded in understanding. "Angie…we're all worried about Cali. I think it would be best if we just left her alone right now. At least till things get cleared up." He said. Angel nodded back. "You're right." She chided. "What about you?" Angel inquired. "Me?" TJ replied confused. "Yeah, I mean he is your dad after all." Angel pointed out. TJ shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know what to think." He answered. Angel arched an eyebrow. "C'mon TJ, this is big. You can't shrug off something like this." She informed. "It's the truth Angie. The only thing that's really changed is the fact that I can't date Cali anymore. Nobody at my home has really spoken about it. In fact, they're trying to block it out of their heads." TJ responded.

Angel glared. "So your father is trying to forget this whole thing? THAT BASTARD!" she yelled getting up with flames around her head. TJ's eyes grew big, his mouth grew small, and a sweatdrop appeared on his head. "Uh…Angel? He was kinda in a coma the last time I saw him." He replied nervously. Angel blinked. "Oh, OK!" she exclaimed smiling. TJ sighed.

"But to tell you the truth, you have every right to be angry with him." TJ added getting more serious. Angel shot him a confused look. "He knew all along…" TJ continued. Angel's eyes grew wide in astonishment. "WH…what?! Are you serious?!" she screamed. TJ nodded. "THAT BASTARD!" Angel continued from before. TJ had to grin. Angel was certainly the entertaining one of the group. And he loved her like a sister. "Angie…you are so awesome." He commented laughing a bit. Angel shot him a peace sign. "Just doing my job!" she exclaimed. Angel smiled. At last, TJ and her were spending some alone time. Ok, it might not have been the best time to be alone, but still it was just her and TJ. "I wish it could always be like this…not to have to live in reality, but almost a dream." Angel thought.

"Hey Ang, um…I know this really isn't the best time or place but…I'm kinda dateless for the prom in 2 weeks, so um, I was wondering…do you wanna be my date?" TJ asked. Angel's draw dropped. This was the luckiest day ever. Ok, maybe not for everybody, but for Angel, MOST DEFINATLY! "Excuse me for a second." She yelled running into the forest. "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" she screamed. Angel quickly rushed back. "Uh, sure…why not?" she replied nonchalantly. TJ had a small sweatdrop on his head. "Heh, great!" he said rubbing the back of his head. "We better go back and see if the others have had any luck trying to pry open Cali." He added getting up and started to walk back. Angel quickly followed up to him. Smiling, TJ casually put his arm around Angel. Angel blushed like hell at that moment. She was in heaven.

"Kids, you better go home. Your parents might be worried. I'll take care of Cali." Pan said to them. The gang nodded. "Ok Pan-Sama" they replied in perfect unison. All headed out the door except for one, Tai. "Cali, if you ever need somebody else to talk to, I'll listen." He whispered. Cali lifted her eyes to meet his. She saw the sincerity in them.

"Since when did Tai Euro ever care about me?" she thought. "Since the first grade when he met you." One part of Cali said. "Nope, before that, he's always cared about you before he even knew ya!" another side told her. Cali quickly shook her head to snap out of her trance. "Thank you Tai…" she whispered back. Tai smiled. "Anytime Cali-Chan." But blushed when he realized what he called her. "Uh…heh…I'll be going now…" he stated running out of the door embarrassed. Cali smiled. Her first in several hours. "Tai…" she whispered again.

Pan had a mischievous grin on her face. "I can hear ya you know." She said smiling. Cali quickly turned red. "Cali has a crush! Cali has a crush!" Pan sing-song. Cali glared and her teeth turned to fangs. ((Think Inuyasha angry face)) "I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH!" she barked. "Whatever…" Pan smirked. "OOOOOOOOOOH!" Cali screamed throwing the cup at the wall. The poor cup…

Yes, yes…not really a breakthrough chapter except for several romantic things going on. I've been dying to throw in a little romance, though I can't wait till even I get to the Marron/Trunks romance. Stay tuned…and also remember, 50 reviews, or no 12th chappy….
