Chapter 6

That night at supper, Rose looked at her grandfather and asked,

"Can you ask her now?"

"Have you asked your mom?"

"Yes. Mommy said yes. But if grandma says no, then it's no."

"What? What do you need to ask me?" Chi chi asked.

"Well, Rose wants to start training with us. I promise to let her start with Krillin and not let her do anything that will cause her to get hurt. I also promise to not let her train if she's not done with her homework. She has a lot of potential, but she is also very smart. and I don't want to see either go to waste." Goku explained.

"Well, I don't know." Chi chi said.

"Please grandma? I promise to do all my homework first before I trian every single day." Rose pleaded, her face desprate.

"Well, if she has potential, it shouldn't go to waste. Plus, you are smart, and I'm defenitly not going to let that go to waste. If I let you, do you promise to keep your grades up?"

"Yes, ma'am." Rose said.

"Ok."

"YAY!" Rose cried, jumping from her seat. She realized what she done and blushed, sitting back down. Everyone got a good laugh out of it.

The next morning, Rose was sitting at the table, finishing her breakfast. She looked at Chi chi and said,

"Grandma, can we get started right after breakfast? I bet mommy would do the dishes for you. Or maybe even aunt Pan could."

"Well, you'd have to ask them. I don't mind starting earlier."

"Ok." Rose said. She ran into the living room, looking for her mom. She wasn't there, so Rose went to the backyard where she found Pan working in the flower garden. Rose tapped Pan on the shoulder, causing her to jump.

"Oops. Sorry, aunt Pan. I wanted to ask you something, since I couldn't find mom." Rose explained.

"Ok. What is it you wanted to ask?"

"Do you think that you could do the dishes so that grandma Chi chi could get started on my lessons early today?"

"Sure."

"Yay! Well, everyone is done eating. Do you think that you can do it now?"

"Sure. Let's go." Pan said as she stood up. Rose ran back toward rhw house. She didn't realize that Goku was standing in the doorway, and ran right into him and fell over.

"Well, you better watch where you're going, Rose." Goku said, helping her up.

"Sorry. Grandma's gonna get started on my lessons early today."

"Oh? I guess I oughta go talk to Krillin. I'll be back a little before your lessons are over. Come on outside when you get done with your homework, ok?" Goku said.

"Ok, grandpa." Rose said, walking into the house.

Rose got done with her homework and then rushed to the kitchen door.

"Rose." That made her freeze in her tracks.

"Yes, grandma?"

"Are you done with your homework?"

"Yes, ma'am." Rose said, turning around.

"Ok. Go on outside."

"Ok." Rose said, opening the door. When she got outside, she saw her grandfather standing next to someone with no hair and just about as tall as she was.

"Grandpa." Rose said as she walked up.

"Hi, Rose. Did you get your homework done?"

"Yes."

"Good. Rose, I want you to meet Krillin. He's gonna help you train." Goku explained.

"Hi, Rose. You're as pretty as your mom." Krillin said.

"Thank you. It's ok if you teach me?"

"Ok." Rose said. She put her fists up like she had seen on tv. "I'm ready. Let's get started."

Hey, now. Not so fast. I have to teach you some things, first." Krillin said.

"Oh." Rose said, dropping her hands. "Like what?"

"Well, do you know how to fly?"

"What? But that's impossible."

"We got a lot to do, then. I guess you can help us, Goku."

"Ok."

Rose caught on quickly. She was able to keep up with her training and and maintain at least high B's. That made both her grandmother and her grandfather happy. It was a few months later, and it was Rose's birthday. Goku had gotten her a surprise, but she couldn't have it until she was done with her homework.

She had just gotten outside from doing her homework, and saw a really tall, green person with big ears. Rose didn't want to make him feel bad, so she went up to Goku and said,

"Grandpa, where's Krillin?"

"I think you're doing well enough to get a new trainer. The next level is Piccolo." Goku explained, pointing at the tall green man.

"Nice to meet you, sir." Rose said.

"Same here." Piccolo said. All of a suddne, he threw a punch at Rose, who barely dodged it. "Ok. We'll have to work on that a little." Piccolo said. "Hope you don't mind long hours."

"Nope. I'll train all you want. I enjoy doing this." Rose said.

"Ok." Piccolo said.

John had been watching Rose from the woods for the past few months. He saw that she was getting stronger and bigger everyday. One day, she was playing outside by herself, and that gave John an idea. I'll wait a few years, when they think that I've forgotten all about them, and then I'll kidnap her. Heh heh heh. That'll teach them all to think that I would forget, let alone forgive Claudia.

At that instant, Rose looked his way and he went back to where he had his car, planning on how he would kidnap her.

Rose was playing outside, Piccolo was under the weather that day, so she wasn't training. As she looked at the little town she made out of rocks, she thought shw saw something moving in the woods. She walked over to look, but didn't see anything. She went back to her little rock town to finish it.

She found some oblong rocks and had an idea. She went inside to see if she could get some paint and brushes. When she got in the kitchen, there wa sa woman with blue hair sitting at the table with her grandma Chi chi. She all of a sudden felt very shy.

Chi chi looked up and saw her. She smiled and said,

"Bulma, I want you to meet my great-granddaughter, Rose. Rose, I want you to meet my friend, Bulma."

"Hello. It's nice to meet you, ma'am." Rose said, walking over to her grandmother. "Grandma, do you have any fingerpaints? I want to make some people for my little rock town." Rose explained, taking her rocks from her pocket.

"Sure. I'll be right back. You can stay here and talk to Bulma." Chi chi said.

"Ok. Thanks." Rose said as she sat at the table.

"Your grandma has told me a lot about you." Bulma said.

"Really? I'm no one important."

"Well, you are to her. She says that you're really smart. Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?" Bulma asked, noticing Chi chi at the door, but not saying anything.

"That's an easy one. I use to want to be a doctor or a scientist. But now that grandma Chi chi has started to teach me, I want to be a school teacher." Rose said. Just as Rose said that, Chi chi walked into the room with the paints.

"I brought some paint brushes and plates, too. That way you won't get as messy. Go have fun." Chi chi said.

"Thank you. Oh, and I knew you were standing there the whole time, but I was telling the truth. I really do want to be a teacher." Rose said as she walked out the door.
