Now Jade was the one who was confused. "A Saiyan?"
"Yeah, a Saiyan. I can't believe- I thought they were all gone. Where did you come from? I'm a Saiyan too. Well half really, but my dad is full and so is Vegeta. I used to have a tail. I can't believe you're a Saiyan."
Jade only stared up at Gohan with her eyes blinking over and over. "What's a vegeta? What are you talking about?"
Gohan realized how many questions he had just asked and laughed at himself for being dumb. "I'm sorry, that came out really quick. I just never thought I'd meet another Saiyan my age before, especially a girl."
Jade narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean by that? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm weak," now pointing a finger in Gohan's face, making him back away.
He pushed his hands out in defense waving them in front of her face a little, "No, no I didn't mean that."
She backed down a little bit with her eyes still narrowed as she folded her arms. Gohan let out a small sigh of relief and searched for something to say. "Why don't I introduce you to my dad? I'm sure he'd be really excited to meet you," he smiled as he began to hover off the ground, preparing to fly.
Her arms will still crossed, "No," she said sternly.
"What? Why," hoping that he could get her to change her mind.
"Not until you teach me to do that."
"Do what?"
"Fly! I know I should be able to do it too, since I'm a Saiyan or whatever, so teach me." She looked away with a smug smile, "Then I'll think about going."
Gohan stared at her for a moment which made her nervous.
"What? Aren't you going to teach me?" she asked impatiently.
He folded his legs Indian style, still hovering above the ground. "Sure, I just, I'm not sure how." He continued quickly when he saw that she was about to get angry again, "But I'll try. Okay let me see. You kind of just use your energy to push you up. The more you use, the higher you go and the faster you go. Like this." He took flew up slowly to demonstrate.
"Oh, so it's that simple huh?" she asked sarcastically. I'll show him, showing off like he's better than me. She put her hands to her side and stared at the ground. Her eyes squinted in concentration as she gathered her energy. A small wind began to pick up around her and the grass around her began to move. Trying it slow at first, she found herself floating a few inches above the ground and rapidly gaining more altitude. She smiled as butterflies settled in her stomach. I'm flying! I'm really doing it!
Gohan stared at her nervously, "Don't go too high too fast. Wait until you're used to it first."
Jade rolled her eyes and hollered down, "I can handle myself, thank you very much! I don't need you to tell me what to do!" Jeez.
But it only took that small moment to break her concentration. She didn't notice at first how much altitude she was losing and when she finally did she panicked. Frightened, she couldn't get control of her energy and she began to fall out of the sky. She let out another loud scream that was as high pitched as the last.
But Gohan was there right away to catch her gracefully in his arms. She blushed in embarrassment as he lowered her back to the safety of the ground.
"Thanks, Gohan," she said softly.
Gohan smiled back knowing it was probably best not too push the issue.
Jade continued to try right away, this time taking Gohan's words into consideration. Within minutes she had control and went on to try flying around and switching directions. She practiced landing and taking off, and eventually shooting off from a dead still in the air and on the ground. It wasn't long before she had it down almost perfectly.
Wow she picked that up really fast. It took me way longer than that to finally get it. He continued to watch as she shot around in the air like a bullet, laughing to herself as she did.
She stopped in mid air and yelled down, "What are you waiting for Gohan? Let's go find your dad!" she teased as she took off flying in hopes that he would try and chase her.
Gohan smiled, "Wait for me! You don't even know where you're going!" He raced to catch up with her, but found it more difficult than he thought it would be. He eventually caught up to her and grinned when he finally reached her side.
