Chapter 6:
Saphire's View
"The representative from California has the floor…" I woke up to the music of Green Day. One of my favorite bands, it was around 5:00am and Riley and Rori were still asleep.
Riley's View
"Boy why you trippen like that, you think cause your chicken you get it just like that…" I woke up to the Pussycat Dolls, they're a really big hit ever since they came out with their first album. It was almost 5:30am and Rori was STILL asleep.
Rori's View
"I'm a Survivor, I'm a Forgiver, I'm not going to stop, I'm going to work harder…" I woke up to the group, Destiny's Child. They had been my favorite for the longest time. I could hear Saph and Rie in the kitchen trying to figure out what to eat. I rolled over and looked at the clock it was 5:55am and we had to meet the guys at seven.
Riley's View
"So, what are we going to do? Are we just going to have cereal or are we going to have well, cereal?" I said to Saphire like I was cute or something.
"I don't know I was thinking about toast. I'm not feeling very well. I think I'm coming down with something." Saphire wasn't acting like her self, she acted as if she knew something we didn't or something she wasn't telling us.
"Hey guys, what are we having for breakfast?" Rori asked as she came out of the spare bedroom that we had in our house.
"There's something you're not telling us. Saiyan don't get sick, so you can't be coming down with ANYTHING. So, come on, SPILL!" I really wanted to know what she was hiding.
"Well, um…" She was having trouble finding the words, so I was getting nervous. Like was wrong, change your life wrong.
"I… um… I… me…" She took a deep breath and said really super fast, "I'm pregnant."
I thought Rori was going to faint and fall on her ass. I didn't even know that her and Goten had even gone that far. I just stood there like 'what the hell' look on my face.
"You're sure? I mean, you're really, REALLY sure?" I asked her. I can't believe she would even keep this from us.
"Yeah, I am. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive, all THREE times." This was some news. I wonder, did Goten even have a clue?
"And, what about Goten? Does he know, did you tell him?" And I guess Rori was going to beat me to the question first.
"Yeah, we decided to keep it to our selves until someone figured it out. And guess what, you guys did. Lucky me, please don't tell anyone. Especially your boyfriends, cause you never know who they would tell." She really wanted to keep it a secret and I had no idea why.
We got ready for school and we flew to the alley were we told the Z fighters we were going to meet. We got there a little before seven so we could figure out what we were going to do. Like how we were going to get Sabrina to believe us and how we were going to get her to my house. I was allowed to call her as long as it was after 6:45am. So I did.
"Hey Sabrina, what's up girl?" I wanted to seem normal as much as possible.
"Hey, I asked my mom. And she said yes, I could go to your house tonight. And I didn't tell her that your mom is out of town." Her mom had become not as protective after Sabrina stood up to her and told her quit controlling her life.
"Cool…" I saw the Z fighters enter the alley so I told her, "Hey, I have to go. I'll talk to you at school." Then I hung up the phone and looked at the Z fighters as they entered the alley.
"Was that Sabrina? Does she know about us? Does she know what is going to happen?" I had to stop him he was getting way to carried away with the question trivia.
"Hold it, one question at a time. Yes, that WAS Sabrina and no, she doesn't know about you and no, she doesn't know what's going to happen. Let's just take it one step at a time." Shin looked at me funny cause he could tell that something was bothering me.
"Is something bothering you? Because it looks like something's bothering you." He asked me as if he already knew, but I knew he didn't.
"No, it's nothing. I just want to see my mom one more time. I'm really going to miss her and I really wanna tell he that I love her. And I wish that she could know." I looked down at the ground and I thought that I was going to cry there for a second, but I didn't and I just looked at him and smiled.
"Okay, so lets get to school, so we can get this done. I'm kinda ready to get back to where we can use our powers freely." Saphire said. Goten put his arm around her and Trunks did the same with Rori. But me and Shin just stood there in silence. Even the walk to school was quiet for us, I guess we didn't have much to say to each other.
We arrived at school, the Z fighters gave us necklaces that had little cameras in them so they could see everything on. Rori's was a flower and Saphire's was a heart. And mine well it was a butterfly. Nothing to fancy I guess they got the necklaces at Wal-Mart cause they didn't look expensive at ALL. But they were kind of cute, I guess.
"Okay, don't ever take these off, unless you HAVE TO. We want to see everything that you girls do. We've got them rigged to the computers in the hotel." Gohan explained.
"Well, you know we will have to take them off when we change for gym. Cause it wouldn't be right if you guys saw other girls changing." Saphire had a quick mind but I would of probably thought of it when I got there.
"Riley, Shin will be watching you, Saphire, Goku will be watching you and don't worry Goten will too, and Rori, Vegeta and Trunks will be watching you. Alright, you ready?"
"Yeah, kay girls, lets go." Rori said. Trunks gave Rori a hug and Goten gave Saphire a hug and unexpectedly Shin gave me a hug. It was the first time he had shown affection in front of the Z fighters except for Trunks and Goten.
Saphire, Rori, and I walked into the school building and we were greeted by our friends. A WHOLE group of them came up to us.
'I'll see you guys later. In gym we'll talk.' Rori told me and Saphire as she went off to her first period class.
Saphire saw her group and went to her class as well. She waved back at me as I took a deep breath. Then I saw Sabrina, she had her hair up in a pony tail, it was really frizzy and curly. She had brown eyes and her hair was blonde. She was wearing jeans, tennis shoes and a lime green shirt that said, 'Drama Queen' over and over.
"Hey Riley, I was afraid that I was going to have to walk to first period by myself. Oh, have you seen Josh yet?" Me and Sabrina had every period together. And Josh was my boyfriend.
"No, why? Is he looking for me? I swear if I didn't see him first thing in the morning I think he would send out inspectors to find me." Sabrina giggled. She laughed at a lot of things I said.
"He is, but he told me to tell you that he is waiting for you by the cafeteria. You know I just wish that Cory would do that for me. Josh is really in love with you and I think he would be devastated if you EVER broke up with him." Me and Josh had dated once before and it didn't work, but at the beginning of the year he took one look at me and went weak in the knees.
"Well, Cory just doesn't know what to do for a girl QUITE yet, so don't worry. He'll come around. But on the other hand I better go see Josh before he has a heart attack. Do you wanna come with?" Josh and Sabrina never really liked one another, but since me and Sabrina are friends he learned to deal with it.
We walked down to the cafeteria and Josh was standing out side the doors. He smiled as I walked down the hall. He walked up to me and gave me a hug. Josh also had most of the same classes as me, so we saw a lot of each other.
The first three periods flew bye and by the time gym came around I was relieved. Josh wasn't in gym with me and it gave me a little comfort cause I could really tired of him spending so much time with me.
"Hey, how has it been so far?" I asked Rori.
"Fine, I guess its kinda weird." She answered.
"Tell me about it. People are asking me if I've gained weight. Can you believe that?" Saphire said as she put her books on the bench.
"Uh, Saph, yes I can believe people are asking you that." Rori said.
"I know, I know, but I shouldn't be showing ANYTHING." She responded.
I took off my necklace as Sabrina walked around the corner and I said, "Sorry guys, nothing personal." And stuck it in the back of my locker, where the camera was facing the back.
"Yeah, guys sorry locker room." Rori and Saphire said at the same time.
"Okay, what was up with that? Do your necklaces have eyes or something?" Sabrina asked in sarcasm.
"Sabrina, sit down. I need to tell you something. And you have to keep it a secret." I told her. She sat down in front of me.
I leaned over and said, "We are saiyans and those necklaces have cameras in them and the Z fighters can see and hear everything that goes on." I made sure that it was at a whisper. And I made sure no one else was around.
Sabrina looked at me like I was crazy or on drugs. At first I thought she was going to pass out but, in stead she said, "Yeah right, Riley what are you smoking?"
"Nothing, I really mean it. They ARE real, and they ARE here. We are here for you cause we need you to come back with us." I was really hoping that she would believe me; she knew that I didn't lie to her or any of my friends.
"Right, and are you guys in on this little prank as well or do you actually believe this?" Sabrina turned to Rori and Saphire.
And before they could answer my worst enemy came up to me. "Well, what do we have here? I think we have a pest problem."
Her name's Casey and I can't STAND her, she is the biggest bitch and slut of the ENTIRE school. She spread around the WHOLE school that she slept with three twenty-one year olds in less than one month. And in the sixth grade she was dating one of my friends (he didn't go to the same school as us) and she cheated on him with another guy (he went to the same school as us). Finally, I got tired of hiding the truth and told my friend before he found out the worst way possible, he was heart broken and he let her believe that nothing was wrong and finally after I told him what they did he had finally had enough. He broke up with her and he asked me out, of course I said 'yes' like a idiot and we were only together a couple months because she decided that she wanted him back and of course he went back to her. And I told him never to talk to me again and that I hated him and that I didn't want anything to do with him and that if he was that STUPID to go back to her after what she did to him then he didn't disserve me.
"What do you want? Cause I don't have the time to deal with you?" I stood up and faced Casey.
"Are you plotting to take another boyfriend away from me? Cause you KNOW that my boyfriends are off limits." She thought that all the guys belonged to her.
"No, sorry, but if you want to lose another boyfriend all you have to do is sleep with another guy and there you have it." I took me necklace out of my locker and put it on. I made sure that everyone was dressed.
"You know Riley, I never did like you. And I don't know why I even bothered with you, you're such a slut." She turned to walk away.
"And why do you say that? I haven't had sex with anyone and if I had I wouldn't have bragged about it. Unlike you, or do you not remember?" I knew the guys could see and hear EVERYTHING and so I felt like I had the world.
"Cause I saw you this morning, all three of you. And I saw all three of you hug a few of the guys that were walking with you. And the one you hugged was pretty cute, I think I'll take him from you." She seemed evil but, she wasn't; she was just a scared like a little mouse.
"You better not go ANYWHERE near him cause if you do, I'll kill you." Truth be told, I'd be able to.
Saphire's View
Casey was going to get her ass kicked and we had front row seats. We all hated Casey and she needed a good ass kicking.
"You won't do SHIT, cause you wanna know why? Your whole life you've been nothing but talk and you had nothing to show for it. What makes you think that I'm going to be scared of you?" Riley just needed to hit her.
"Come on Rie, let's just go she's not worth it. We're going to be late and you know how the coach gets if we're late." Rori said, she was never the one for fighting.
"No, I'm fine and coach can kiss my ass. Casey needs to learn that she can't get everything at the snap of her fingers like she did with Zach and Justin. They were such fools." Riley was ready to pounce and I couldn't wait.
"Okay, well don't hit her to hard. You know what can happen if you do." Rori stepped back and stood next to me.
"What are you trying to do make me laugh? Cause that was PRETTY funny, she can't do shit and she knows it. And you know I think your LITTLE friend will make a nice accomplishment, he's just what I need right now, something hard and rough and I think he might be the one to just do that." And that's what sent Riley over the edge, was that, the way she was talking about getting Shin into bed.
Riley took her right hand and pushed Casey. She fell on her ass and she went sliding on the floor. Riley walked up to her and picked her up with ONE hand and TOSSED her to the end of the isle in the locker room. Casey had this look on her face like 'holy shit, I can't believe this' and Riley had this look on her face like 'say one more thing about him and you'll really be hurting'.
"What do you have to say now? I think you should run before I kill you. And don't EVEN think about going and telling cause I know where you live. And don't EVER talk about him AGAIN. You got it?" Riley was furious.
Casey nodded and stood up and ran out of the locker room. She didn't even look back to make sure that Riley wasn't following her.
"Way to go, that bitch really disserved it. And you really showed her." I told her in happiness.
"Wow, so you were really weren't kidding when you said that you were a saiyan. That is AMAZING!" Sabrina said.
"Yeah, well I thought I was pretty scary at first and I didn't really want to be there. But I do have a really nice boyfriend and he loves me." Sabrina got this look on her face like 'wow, this life sounds pretty good' and she smiled.
We were only a couple of seconds late for gym and for the rest of the day when ever Casey saw Riley she would turn and go the other way or wouldn't look at her. What Casey got, she really disserved it and it was about time someone taught her a lesson. I'm really proud of Riley for standing up for herself and making Casey eat her words (literally).
When we got back to Riley's, Sabrina already had her stuff packed and she didn't need to do anything. But, Riley had to pack, and she needed to take me and Rori to our places so we could get some of our things.
After Riley got done packing she put her bag in the living room and we got in her car and she drove me to my place and I packed as fast as I could. My mom wasn't home. Then, we drove to Rori's and she packed some of her things. Then we drove back to Riley's and we waited for word from the Z fighters. And then finally, at 11:15pm we got a phone call from Goku to meet in the alley. So we grabbed our bags and flew to the alley.
"What are we doing? Are we meeting them here?" Sabrina was confused about EVERYTHING and I couldn't blame her. I would have been as well if I were in her shoes.
"We're meeting the Z fighters here. And we're leaving at midnight so don't flip when you see them just act normal." Rori told Sabrina. Rori never really liked Sabrina cause she thought Sabrina was a little immature.
"Riley, come here." It was Shin. For some reason he was keeping to the shadows.
"Shin…" Then he interrupted her.
"Don't say my name. There are things watching." He was acting really skittish.
"Why are you whispering? Is something after you or us? And why are you keeping to the shadows?" Riley took a couple more steps closer to Shin.
"Yes, something is after me and you. They found out about us and now they're trying to kill us. You might be immortal but, you can still be killed." He explained, he had worry in his voice and fear, which never happened.
"Here take this it'll help you get back. Just throw it on the ground and it'll open the portal. Me and the others are going back now and I'll be waiting for you, just do what you have to do and make sure that you throw it at or a couple minutes before midnight and I'll see you soon, I love you." He faded into the shadows and then he was gone.
Riley turned and looked at us, we thought for a second that she was going to cry, but she didn't. Instead she got angry, really angry, like 'pissed off' angry.
"I can't believe this! I can't believe they find out and then they're trying to kill us. We just wanna be together and we love each other. What's wrong with that? Is that a crime in their world? I hate it, I hate it, I HATE IT! I swear if I find out who it is I will kill before they can do shit. You can come after me, you can try to kill me, but NO ONE messes with my boyfriend." She was ready to kill something or ready to tear something apart.
"Hey, it's almost midnight, like one minute to midnight." Sabrina said as she looked at her watch.
I looked at Rie, she through the crystal on the ground and it opened the vortex. We held on to our bags and took a deep breath, then jumped.
Sabrina's View
When we arrived in the DBZ dimension it was SO weird. Everything was so colorful and everything was SO peaceful. It was like I was in a dream, I couldn't believe it.
We walked to the Capsule Corp. and we were greeted by Bulma. She had a big smile on her face and was TO happy to see us. I wondered if she was always like that, because if she was I was going to scream.
"Hey, I'm SO glad to see you girls. Everyone that went with you, they're already here. Oh, you must be Sabrina." She said cheerfully as she looked at me.
"Yes mam, I hope that I won't be to much trouble." I was not sure how to speak to her. She seemed so proper.
"Oh, you don't have to call me 'mam', I'm not that old." She said as she hugged me.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know what to say." I just looked at her and put a smile on my face.
"Oh, that's fine. Being around new people can always be scary." She walked in side and we followed her.
We went to walk up the stairs and we bumped into a GREEN guy. He was strangely tall and freaky looking.
"Oh, Sabrina this is Piccolo, he will be your trainer." Riley said as she introduced me to him.
"Piccolo this is Sabrina. Now, she can be a LITTLE clumsy, but I don't think that you'll have problem with her." Riley said as she giggled a little.
"Hello, do you know any moves?" He asked me.
"Huh, I'm afraid that I DON'T know what your talking about." I said confused out of my brain and mind.
"You know, sparring moves, flying moves. Are you always going to be this difficult?" He got really snappy with me and I didn't like that at ALL.
"Excuse me?" And before I could say another word Riley interrupted.
"Hey guys, lets not fight cause Sabrina JUST got here and lets her settle in. Okay Piccolo?" Riley was not going to take ANY attitude tonight; she was already pissed off enough.
We went up stairs and Riley showed me to my room. She told me that she was right next door and to try to get some sleep. She always looked out for me and she was always there for me when I had boy trouble. She was such a great friend, I don't know what I would of done if she wasn't there for me.
She left and went to her room.
Riley's View
When I got to my room Shin was waiting for me. He looked relieved to see me. He stood up and hugged me, I could swear he was trying to kill me, he squeezed me so hard.
"I'm glad that you got here alright. Did you run into anyone or anything? If you did, did they hurt you or ask you anything?" He was more worried then he has been since I met him.
"No, we didn't run into anyone or anything and no they didn't hurt us." I went into the bathroom and Shin stayed out in my room.
When I came back out I said, "You know, you don't really have to look out for me. I can do that myself. I know that you think it's in my best interest, but how am I going to be able to fly if you keep me cooped up in the nest?" I know I just confused him.
"Huh… I… I don't know. You know that was a little weird to say. As far as I know we aren't in a nest and we live in a capsule." He didn't get it.
"It just means that you're just a little over protective. You gotta let me do things the hard way." Oops I probably shouldn't of said that.
"What, you think I'm OVER PROTECTIVE? I'm sorry if I don't meet your criteria. Riley I love you and I do NOT want ANYTHING to happen to you." He was getting pissed. I needed to push his buttons just a bit more.
"I know, it's fine to warn me, but don't sit and worry about me that much cause I'm a big girl I can take care of myself. Or have you NOT noticed?" That got him.
"Of course I notice, I'm not blind and I do have a right to worry! You are the ONE good thing in my life and I'm not going to loose you! Or if I am then lets break up right now, right here!" I couldn't believe what he was saying.
"You're asking me to break up with you? Or are you wanting to do it? My God, is there ever a time where we aren't fighting? Right now, I'm pissed off at you, get out!" I pointed at the door, but he just stood there looking at me. So I walked over to the door and opened it for him and yelled, "GET OUT!"
He walked up to me, he moved me away from the door and closed it and said, "Come on, just com down. Let me stay and lets make this work."
"Why, so we can fight some more? So we can yell and torment each other? Why should I stay with you? Why should you stay with me?" I wasn't trying to make him mad anymore I was pissed off myself.
"Because I love you and you love me. We fight that's what we do, you tell me when I'm being a son of a bitch and I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings Riley, they have like, a two second rebound and then you're back doing the next pain in the ass thing. It's going to be really hard, but I want work at it, cause I want you, I want ALL of you." He made a lot of sense.
I just looked at him and he looked at me back. Then finally after about five minutes of just looking at each other I looked away from him like I was crying. Shin touched my face and made me look at him. He kissed me softly, he put his hands on my neck and he backed me up to the bed. (We were the same height.) He laid me on the bed and put his hand up my shirt. He moved his lips down to my neck and then down to my chest. (I was wearing a low cut shirt.) Then he stopped.
He looked up at me and said, "Riley, I love you. Never forget that and never forget that no matter where I go I'll be with you. Just look at the necklace and you'll know that I'm watching over you." He talked as if he were leaving tonight or tomorrow.
"I know, I know that you'll never leave and I know how much you love me. I'll wait as long as it takes. I love you too." I told him that and he kissed me again.
I loved having him against me. I loved having him in my life and knowing that he was mine. The night was AMAZING, it was like the fifth time we had made love, but I can't remember hardly ANYTHING. I remember him and me talking and how great it felt and how I wanted him even more, but I don't remember him after the last time I told him that I loved him. I woke up the next morning to find that he was gone. His clothes weren't on the floor and there was NO site of him any where. I just figured that he was down stairs like he was every other time. I went and took a shower and then as I went to my dressing table I found a note from him.
It said, 'By the time you get this I will be gone. I'm sorry that I couldn't wait till you woke up, but I really had to go. I'm so sorry that I left the way I did, just remember what I told you last night. I will be watching over you and I will return. I love you Rie. DON'T ever forget that and don't forget me. I love you SO much and would hate if I lost you. Talk to you soon.
Love, Shin'
I took one more look at the note and put it my jewelry box as tears rolled down my face. Then went down stairs to join the others.
