--5 A good Mother--
Chichi was sitting in the grass, under a tree on a beautiful summer day. There was no cloud in the air, birds were singing, and al you could see were trees and mountains. It was so beautiful. It was delight. Chichi closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the river that was about 2 metres next to her, and the sound of singing birds.
"Chichi!" A male voice suddenly said.
Chichi opened her eyes and looked up. About 200 metres away, Goku was waving at her. Chichi stood up and wanted to run up to him but she felt something was holding her feet tightly. She looked down and saw that darkness was holding her feet. Chichi wanted to scream but when she tried no sound came out of her mouth. She looked up and Goku again. She wanted to wave she needed help, but Goku stopped waving and walked away.
Chichi stoke out an arm and tried to scream again, but still, her voice was nowhere to be found.
Chichi jolted up in bed, sweat streaming over her face. She looked around and saw she was in her room again. Her heart was beating like a drum and her eyes were tearing again. Chichi wept the tears out of her eyes and stood up. She looked at her alarm clock. It said it was half past 5. Chichi sighed and walked to the window. She opened the curtains and looked at the just rising sun. Just like yesterday, it looked so romantic, but now it seemed like it hurt Chichi. The place where Chichi's heart had to be was empty, Chichi was broken-hearted.
Chichi sighed sadly, she finally met someone she was in love with, and now this had to happen. 'I feel so empty…' Chichi thought, she let her finger trail over the window. "Why does love exist?" Chichi asked herself, a little pissed.
Maybe, she was too kind for everybody, maybe she had to fight back. 'No, I can't do that, what if I'll hurt somebody?' Chichi thought. This sure was a dilemma, she wanted to fight back, but she was afraid to hurt someone. Chichi sighed, she didn't know what to do anymore.
"Honey, why are you awake on a time like this, it's 25 to 6 and it's Saturday." Chichi's mom came in with a sleepy expression on her face.
"I, I had a nightmare." Chichi replied, looking at the floor ashamed.
"Oh honey, having a nightmare is nothing to be ashamed of." Her mom said. She sat down on the bed and patted the place next to her as a sign for Chichi to sit down. Chichi sighed annoyed but sat down next to her. "Now, what was your nightmare about?" Her mom asked.
Chichi sighed sadly, she felt tears were coming up, "It started yesterday when I was in the gym halls, waiting for Bulma to finish with getting dressed.
:Flashback:
Pulling the door open a little bit more, she couldn't believe what she saw…
She almost started to drool when she saw a very handsome looking boy from about her age playing basketball with the rest of his friends. He was so handsome, Chichi didn't notice her mouth was open.
Such beautiful raven black hair that stuck out in every direction, that handsome face with a playful smile on it, that huge muscles… Chichi almost lost breath, She felt how her heart got stolen by him. She felt like she had died and arrived at heaven. Her heart healed and it was beating like a drum.
:End flashback:
"What's wrong with falling in love?" Chichi's mom asked.
"Nothing, to be exact, I felt like I was in heaven." Chichi answered, a little cheeky smile escaped from her lips, "When Bulma came she fell in love too with one of the boys."
:Flashback:
"Chichi? What are you doing there?" Bulma's voice asked from behind.
"Huh? What?" Chichi asked dreamy, she just couldn't keep her eyes off that guy.
"Hello! Earth to Chichi! Do you caught me, over!" It had no use, Chichi was in heaven with her head and couldn't be pulled on the ground again. Bulma sighed, and followed Chichi's look inside. Bulma's heart jolted too, "Wow, what a hunk…" She said breathlessly.
Chichi snapped out of thoughts, "Hey, stay away from my future husband!" Chichi sneered.
"Your future husband? He's mine I tell you!" Bulma sneered back.
"Oh yeah, well let's make a bet, who gets him wins." Chichi pointed at the guy she lost her heart to.
"Wait… You're in love with that guy? You can have him, I was talking about that hunk." Bulma pointed at a guy with also raven black hair, which stood right up, and an annoyed looking face, but still handsome. "Eww, well I can't see what you're seeing in that guy, you can have him." Chichi said.
:End flashback:
Chichi's mom started to laugh, "That's just too funny!" She exclaimed.
Chichi smiled a bit too, "Yes, and I thought I was in heaven, till Bulma rang me up that evening…"
:Flashback: (A/N: Yeah I know, there are a lot of flashbacks this chap.)
"Hey Chichi, I know who our lovers are." Bulma said from the other side of the line.
Chichi almost dropped the telephone when she heard it, "Oh yeah? Who are they then?"
Bulma sighed, "The one your in love with is Goku San. I have a yearbook here, and he's standing in the republic 'most popular pupils of the year'." Bulma said.
It felt like the balloon that was growing wider in Chichi, suddenly had exploded. Chichi looked at the ground, "Well that's just great, I fell in love with the most popular guy in the school, I'll never have a chance on him." She said with sadness in her voice.
Bulma sighed, she felt sorry for Chichi, if she Wasn't the school's reject, she might have a chance, but Chichi was the school's reject, so, her chances were about 1.
"I'm sorry Chi, but it seems your chance on him is 1." Bulma said, "I'm so sorry."
It felt like Chichi's heart had been tugged out of her body, and sadness and darkness had filled up the empty space. Tears burn in her eyes, she stood up from her bed and sat down on the chair which was standing in front of her desk. "I'll call you back later…" She said with a little voice and pressed on the off button of her telephone.
:End Flashback:
"Oh, Chi… I'm so sorry for you." Her mom said, feeling sorry for her daughter.
Tears escaped from Chichi's eyes, she couldn't fight them anymore, "And that's what my nightmare was about… I was dreaming about Goku, he was searching for me, I was sitting under a tree and wanted to run up to him, but I couldn't. I was unable to move my feet, I wanted to yell for him, but my voice was gone, and then, when he didn't see or hear me, he walked away." She cried out loud.
Her mother just looked at it, she was totally dumbstruck, how could this have happen? "Somehow, I have a feeling you're not telling me everything… Why haven't you got a chance on him?" She asked.
"Because, I'm the school's reject." Chichi replied, her mind went back to the day that happened.
:Flashback:
Finally, she noticed what she was doing and mentally slapped herself, 'Come on! I'm only going to talk to the headmaster!'
Furiously, she walked… no stormed out of the toilet and made her way to the headmaster. That was the biggest mistake she ever made… Because, she took steps that were way too big to be normal, and then, she bumped into a few cheerleaders. Chichi fell on the ground rather hard.
Chichi looked up to look who or what she bumped into, and saw the cheerleaders. One of the cheerleaders had tea on her shirt because she was holding tea when Chichi bumped into her.
"MY NEW SHIRT!" The cheerleader exclaimed.
Chichi looked at her dumbstruck, she could be lying in the hospital and that stupid cheerleader was considered about her shirt!
The cheerleader looked at Chichi, "You ruined me shirt, YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT! WELLCOME TO THE GATES OF HELL!"
Chichi got furious, got up and shouted, "LIKE I CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID SHIRT! WE COULD HAVE BEEN WOUNDED AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT ARE YOUR CLOTHES!"
"BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU SAY TO ME, GIRL! I'M A SENIOR, AND YOU'RE STILL WET BEHIND YOUR EARS FROM LOWER-SCHOOL!" The cheerleader yelled.
Chichi knew she was right but still didn't care, she could be a girl from the 4th year of school, she still wouldn't accept that she would lose to a senior. "STILL, LIKE I CARE, GRANDMA!" Chichi yelled.
That was the last drop for the cheerleader, "THAT'S IT, ENJOY TODAY, MISSIE, CAUSE TOMORROW, YOU'LL BE THE SCHOOL'S REJECT!"
Chichi stuck out her tongue and made her way to the office of the headmaster.
:End Flashback:
"Oh my goodness, you never told me that… What was her name, Miranda?" Her mom asked.
Chichi looked up surprised, "How… How do you know who she is?" She asked her mom.
"Because… When I was at the age you are now, I got tortured too, by a girl named Kithosé." Chichi's mom said, "I went to the same school you're going to, and I fell in love with the most popular boy in the school, Oxie."
"But… That's dad…" Chichi said.
A little smile escaped from her mothers lips, "Yes, but I thought I wasn't good enough for him and I kept it for myself. Everyday I came home I cried and wished that a miracle would happen… And it did, when I was graduated from school, Oxie and I met each other again and fell in love, 2 years after that, you got born." She said.
"But, how did you know that the one who is torturing me, is Miranda?" Chichi asked.
"Kithosé is her mother…" Her mom replied.
"What? Wow, that's what I call like mother like daughter… Did you have a best friend during that time?" Chichi asked.
"Oh yes I had, her name was Orlanda Fisher, later she married dr. Harold Briefs." Her mom said.
Chichi's mouth dropped open, "You mean the parents of Bulma Briefs?" She said, her voice full of disbelieve.
"Yes why asking?" Her mother asked.
"Hello? Did you even listen to what I told you? Bulma Briefs is my best friend!" Chichi said.
Her mother looked like she choked a lemon. "What did you say?" She said.
"I said: BLUMA BRIEFS IS MY BEST FRIEND!" Chichi yelled, causing her mother backing away.
Suddenly, the telephone rang, Chichi stood up and grabbed it from her desk.
"Hello, Chichi speaking." Chichi said.
"Chich… I have to tell you something…" A sad voice from the other side of the line said, immediately recognised as Bulma's voice.
"Bulma… What's up?" Chichi asked.
"Chi, go sit down, I have to tell you something very bad…" Bulma said.
Chichi did what she was told and sat down on her bed, ignoring her mother, "Okay, I'm sitting on my bed, now spill the beans." She said.
"It's about that Goku guy, I did some research and came after his phone number, so I called him up." Bulma started.
"Calling him up while you hardly know him, that's what I call insolent!" Chichi said.
"Yeah well anyways, we talked and he told me something terrible…" Bluma said.
"And that is?" Chichi asked. Somehow, she got a little afraid of what Bulma was going to say now.
"HehascourtshipwithMiranda." Bulma said.
"What did you say." Chichi asked, she didn't hear it.
"Oh… Chi… I'm sorry for you but… He has courtship with Miranda." Bulma said.
Chichi dropped the telephone, "No…" She whispered softly. She started to tremble, as fresh tears were coming up. Sadness once again ruled her body. Then… She felt that she was falling and everything got black.
Chichi woke up again and felt she was lying in bed, she heard that her mother was talking to someone downstairs, 'Maybe, it's Bulma…' Chichi thought. Before she got up all that happened before she passed out was coming back to her, the nightmare, the conversation with her mother,
the phone call with Bulma and passing out. She felt her heart ache, the pain was almost unbearable. How could her heart ever be healed again.
"Why don't you come back later, I'm sure she'll feel better soon." Chichi heard her mom say.
But Chichi was surprised when she heard the voice of a boy, and not from Bulma saying, "Okay."
Chichi jumped out of bed, and stormed out of her room, "Mom? Who's at the door?" She asked.
"Ah, Chichi, you're awake. Then you two can still talk." Chichi's mom said.
"Uhm… Talk with who?" Chichi asked. She walked down stairs and turned to face the one who was standing in the doorpost of the front door…
