Chapter 8

"Rose, we're leaving in a couple of minutes. Are you ready?" Goku asked.

"Yes, grandpa. Have I improved?"

"Yes, you have. You also done something that I didn't think you could do."

"What was that?"

"You turned super right before you passed out. I guess that your body uses that as a last resort. That's a good thing, though."

"How's that?"

"That means that you have very great potential and I got to see it."

Rose smiled and thought about how happy her grandfather was. She also wondered if her mother would be proud of her.

"Ok, Rose. It's time to go. I want you to know that you're gonna feel lighter for a little while after we get out."

"Ok." Rose said as the door opened. They walked out to find a crowd. Piccolo, Krillin, Claudia, Pan, Gohan, Goten, Videl, Bulma, and two other people she didn't even recongnize.

As Rose walked out, they all turned around. They all seemed amazed about something. "What?" Rose asked.

"That, that power! I've never felt a power like that on someone that young!" The man with black hair that she didn't know said. The other guy had purple hair.

"Dad's right. " the purple haired mand agreed.

"Yeah. She's progessed a lot." Goku said. "I'm happy with our training. Rose had fun, too. Didn't you?"

"Yes. I feel a lot strogner." Rose saod. She walked up to the man with black hair and said. "Hi. My name is Rose. What's your's?" She thought he looked scary, but she knew she had to learn to swallow her fear.

"Child, why did you ask a question like that?" He said.

"Because I want to know your name, that's why." Rose said boldly.

"You have a lot of courage. Most kids your age are afraid to even look at me. But, my name is Vegeta." He said.

"Thank you." Rose said and looked at the man with purple hair. "You already know my name. What's your's?"

"Trunks."

"Nice to meet you, Trunks. And you, too, Vegeta." Rose said, looking at him.

"Same here." Trunks said with a smile. Vegeta just grunted.

After they had gotten home, Claudia decided to make Rose's favorite lunch. Goku, Rose, Claudia, Pan, and Chi chi were sitting at the table eating when Rose said,

"Guess what I can do, grandma?"

"What's that?" Chi chi asked.

"Grandpa said that I can turn super, but only as a last resort."

"What?" Chi chi asked, frozen in place.

"Is-is that a bad thing?" Rose said, starting to worry that something was wrong.

"No, it's not a bad thing, Rose." Goku said quickly. "Grandma's just, surprised, that's all."

"Oh." Rose said, relaxing.

"But, I thought hat you said Rose couldn't do that?" Claudia asked, bringing her eyebrows together.

"I did. While we were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Rose was training like there was no tomorrow. She finally exhausted herself. For about then mintues, she turned super and just kept going. I didn't do anything because I wanted to see what was going to happen.

"Before long, she was on the ground. She had passed out from exhaustion. She slept for a couple of days, then woke up from a nightmare. I had her rest for a couple more days after that. She didn't do it again, so I thought it was a last resort mechanism that her body has.

"That's a good thing, too. She can't over use it this way" Goku explained as they finished eating.

"Oh, thank goodenss!" Chi chi cried after he was done. "Rose, you start your lessons agian tomorrow."

"Ok. Am I still making good grades?"

"Yes. In fact, you've raised them from high B's to low A's. I'm proud of you."

"Really? I've been trying harder." Rose said.

"Well, keep it up, ok?"

"Ok."
