DISCLAIMER: I don't own Dragon Ball Z, no matter how much I want to. Keira is mine though.
"I can't believe you thought that was normal!" Keira gasped as she slammed her locker again. She looked at it and sighed. "This thing won't last past a month... Anyway, how could you think that jumping at least thirty feet into the air was normal for a human?" Gohan laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head.
"I don't know..." he said truthfully. "I didn't think they were that bad..." Keira glared at him and sighed again and started to walk off. "You're not mad at me, are you?" He asked. She turned around and smiled with a worried stare.
"No, stupid," she said. "I'm just a little tired, is all. I don't seem mad, do I?" Gohan nodded cautiously. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be. Forgive me?"
"'Course I do, silly," he said, ruffling her hair a little. She slapped him off playfully.
"One day, I'll be able to do that to you, and I'm not gonna go easy," she said warningly then laughed and ran off. "Catch me if you can!" She yelled back, still laughing.
"Oh, I can, and I will!" He shot off after her, making sure not to past the 'normal' expectation of a human.
They sprinted down the halls, out the door, and into a near-by park. Keira was still pretty far ahead and turned sharply, trying to see if she could hide anywhere. After a couple minutes, she found it impossible to hide, and that Gohan was close behind her, smirking. She turned back and stuck her tongue out at him. He sped up, tripped over a rock, and fell into Keira's back, forcing her down, and they both fell into a pile of leaves. Keira landed on her back, with her shirt partly ripped off, and her jacket halfway down her arms. Gohan landed face forward, right on top of Keira. They groaned in unison and Gohan lifted himself, only to notice where he was. Keira's eyes opened at that moment and immediately she blushed.
For a few moments, they stayed like that. Then, Gohan rolled over and gasped. "I'm so sorry," he managed to say in a low, almost whispered voice.
Keira was still breathing deeply, but she croaked out: "It's not your fault. Are you alright?" They both lay there for awhile, just staring into the sky. Then, Gohan got up and held out a hand. "Thanks," she said smiling, but still blushing.
"No problem... Um...can I go home with you? I need to ask Bulma something," he said quietly. Keira looked at him blankly for a second and then snapped back into reality.
"Oh, yeah, that's fine, as long as you don't run into my dad, then I think you'll live long enough to see Goten turn ten years old," she said sarcastically, returning back to her same old rude self. The teenagers then walked off to find a good spot to call Nimbus.
"MOM!" The young saiyaness called down the huge Capsule Corp corridors. "I'm home! I got someone who wants to ask yah something!" Gohan walked in after her, shaking off something that was stuck on his leg. He stared at Keira grimly. "Oops, sorry. I forgot to tell the security system we had a visitor..."
"Great, these'll take at least a few days to heal..." he said as he pulled his pants up to view the damage. Suddenly, Bulma came rushing out from one of the halls, coughing. She waved her hands around and opened one eye.
"Mom? You OK?" Keira asked worryingly. Her mother smiled and coughed a little more.
"I'm alright," she said reassuringly. "I just had a...little...incident in the lab," she looked around and saw Gohan standing there, spacing. "Oh, hi Gohan. Is there something you want?"
"Oh, yeah! There is something I wanted to ask you, if you're not too busy," Bulma just waved it off.
"I'm not busy, don't worry about it," she turned back to her daughter. "And you're father wants to see you."
"Great..." the teen sighed. "What'd I do now?" The blued-haired genius shrugged.
"I have no idea. I think he just wanted to talk to you...or shoot blasts at you, one or the other," she said sarcastically. Keira grimaced and walked off, shoulders slumped.
"Oi, I'm dead..." she groaned as she walked down to the Gravity Room.
"OW! That's unfair, you cheater!" Keira squealed as Vegeta started throwing harder and harder punches at her face, finally connecting after about five minutes.
"Shut up and grow up," her father growled and started to throw energy blasts at her. She yelped and ran around the room, which wasn't easy when it was at 100 Gs. One finally connected and hit her square in the stomach. Keira gasped as it forced her against the wall and exploded. Vegeta looked nervously at the point of impact and rushed over. "Dammit...you alright?" He asked flatly, but the expression in his face showed worry. Keira got up and rubbed her head.
"What the hell was that for!" She screamed, sitting in pain. Tears started jutting from her eyes as she spoke.
"I couldn't of hurt that much!" The Saiyan prince scoffed. Keira got up and slapped her father as hard as her possibly could on his cheek.
"Screw you!" She cried as she ran out of the room, bursting into tears. Vegeta stood there, stunned.
"Mom?" Keira walked out of the shower, wearing only some blue jeans and a bra. The jeans wear really loose and a little reveling, but it's not like it mattered to her. She walked around the house looking for Bulma anywhere in the house, avoiding anywhere Vegeta might've been. She walked into the living room and saw Trunks. "Hey, Trunks," she said sweetly. "Have you seen mom anywhere?" The young Saiyan ran up to his sister and hugged her.
"Hey Keira!" He said happily. "I haven't seen you all day! And Gohan's hear!" Keira smiled at her ignorant little brother, then lifted him up and placed him on her shoulders.
"How've you been, bro?" She asked, walking into the room, not noticing who was sitting on the couch.
"Great! Are you gonna stay home all day soon? It's boring here all alone with nothing to do," he complained.
"Heh, maybe soon, I promise," she said. She stopped in her tracks to see Gohan on the couch talking with Bulma, just noticing she walked into the room. Keira's face reddened, and she placed Trunks back on the ground and ruffled his hair. Gohan immediately looked away as he started to blush, too.
"Hello, sweetie," her mother said in a fake, sweet-like voice. "Is something wrong?" Keira adverted her eyes away from everyone and smiled meekly.
"...I...just wanted to know if you knew where all my shirts were..." she muttered. Bulma grinned, raised an eyebrow, and nodded.
"I know, they're upstairs in my room," Keira nodded in thanks and rushed upstairs. Leaning against a wall, she slowly put on her shirt.
"W-What's wrong with me...?" she asked herself as she grasped her heart and stared at the floor.
"...So...this is...what you came to ask my mom about...?" Keira asked, stifling laughs. Trunks looked at the costume with his head cocked.
"Mom," he said flatly. "I don't want a costume anymore..." Gohan looked at his costume through the mirror and smiled.
"I love it Bulma!" he exclaimed happily. "You're a genius!" Bulma held out her cigarette and smirked.
"Aren't I!" She asked happily.
"Your cape's gonna get caught in an airplane engine," Keira said smugly. "Then I'll laugh when you're in the hospital again," the saiyan glared at her and she just cocked an eyebrow and shrugged. "It's true," she stated plainly. Trunks looked at his sister and she looked at him, then they both burst out laughing.
"That's the gaudiest thing I've seen in this century!" The younger saiyan howled.
"You guys don't know 'cool' when you see it!" Gohan said defensively. Keira choked on her own saliva as she continued to laugh.
"According to the idiots at school, I'M the definition of cool!" She squeaked. "I think you need to re-new your definitions!" The two continued to laugh and their mother shot a look at them, and they held in their laughs for about five seconds, until it burst out again.
"Oh, don't listen to those jerks, they take from their father," she said reassuringly. "Well...at least Trunks does. Well it's getting late, I think your mom'll kill me if I keep you too long."
"You're right, it is pretty late," he said, pressing the button on a watch. Suddenly, his original clothes came back on. "Thanks Bulma! Bye Keira, I'll see you tomorrow," Keira nodded and smiled.
"See yah, and sorry about the jokes," she said sincerely. He waved and jumped onto Nimbus. As he rode off, Keira smiled and leaned on the window pane, staring into space.
