DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN DRAGONBALL Z OR ANYTHIG ELSE I MAY MENTION IN THIS FIC!

A/N: I finally updated after awhile. I started writing this chapter a couple weeks ago and then I got writer's block. Sorry if the chapter is short. I have had a bad case of writer's block this summer. It always sucks to have writer's block during the summer or any other vacation because that's when I always have more time to write. PLEASE READ and REVIEW!

Living a Double Life
Chapter 2

NORMAL POV

Lunch thought Tien and Choatzu should be home anytime, and so she decided to sit on the couch and wait for them. She did not feel like starting dinner over again after burning the entire meal. She was so good at cooking that it was rare for her to burn the food, but it happens to everybody. She felt sort of bad for it since she was daydreaming, but again, it happens.

She had been thinking about Kushami a lot lately. 'I can't take this anymore. She's always getting both her and myself in trouble.'

Her thoughts were interrupted as Tien and Choatzu came home from their daily training session. Lunch was happy to see them.

Choatzu was the first to speak. "I'm starving!" he said with a smile.

Tien greeted Lunch by giving her a kiss on the cheek. "How was your day?" he asked.

"It was okay." She quickly changed the subject. "Well, about dinner, uh, I sort of burnt everything while it was cooking. Would you mind going somewhere to eat? We haven't done that in awhile." Lunch stood there with a grin on her face.

"That would be fine, I'll be ready in a minute." Replied Tien.

"Okay!"

Choatzu smiled. "I don't care where we go, I'm hungry!"

The three of them went to one of the diners in the city to get something to eat. For being dinner time, the little restaurant was not too crowded, but it was also a weekday. The three of them were seated immediately and tried to decide what to order.

The waitress came by shortly and took everyone's order. As soon as she left, Lunch was the first to speak. "I'm sorry about dinner. I was just daydreaming and forgot that there was food cooking on the stove."

"Don't worry about it. You do a lot anyway, and so you deserve a break once and awhile," Tien replied.

Choatzu used his telepathy to talk to Tien so Lunch wouldn't be able to hear what they're saying. "Tien, she sounded like she felt bad when she was apologizing. Do you think something may be wrong?"

"Maybe. I'll talk to her about it later."

Tien noticed Lunch's expression was not the same as it usually was. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Lunch looked at him. "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired because I didn't sleep very well last night." She was lying, and she knew it.

'I feel terrible lying to him and Choatzu.' She sighed. 'I'll tell them the truth later when we are all at home.'

Her thoughts were interrupted as soon as the waitress brought their food. As the three of them ate their dinner, Lunch ate in silence thinking nonstop about Kushami.

The ride home was uneventful. As soon as Tien, Choatzu, and Lunch arrived back at their little house, Lunch sat on the couch and turned on the TV and started channel surfing. She went through all the channels probably about five times. The whole time she was channel surfing she was thinking about Kushami again. Her alter-ego was about the only thing on her mind that day, but she didn't want Tien or Choatzu to think anything was bothering her so she did her best to cover it all up. This time her cover up was acting like she was trying to find something good on TV.

Lunch finally decided to leave the TV on a random channel and let someone else watch whatever on TV. She was getting tired and all this thinking was stressing her out. She decided to go to bed even though it was only about 8:30, which is early for her.

When she arrived in the bedroom that her and Tien shared, she put on her night clothes and sat down at her vanity. She started brushing her hair when she heard a female voice speak.

"Hey bimbo!" Lunch gasped at the sound of the voice.

"W-who's there?" Lunch asked with a shaky voice.

"You know who I am. I'm your other half." After the voice replied, Lunch looked in the mirror of her vanity and saw the owner of the voice. It was Kushami. "You wanted to talk to me face to face, huh? Well now's your chance!" Kushami had an evil grin on her face.

"Leave me alone, Kushami! I don't need this right now." Lunch was getting scared. 'What is going on? She is replacing my reflection in the mirror and talking to me.'

"So, Lunch, I heard you wanna get rid of me!"

"No! That's not it. I—"

"Well, sorry miss. You can't get rid of me. I'm part of you and you're part of me! That's how it works!" Kushami interrupted, and started laughing mischievously.

"GO AWAY!" Lunch yelled back.

The door suddenly opened and Tien walked in the bedroom. "What's going on? Who were you yelling at?"
