She was still asleep when Gohan arrived at his house. He hoped he wouldn't wake her up when he landed, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, she stirred.
"Mmm," her eyes slowly fluttered open, "Gohan? Was I really asleep this whole time?"
Gohan chuckled as he put her down, "Yes. I didn't know you could snore that loud."
Jade blushed, "I don't snore!" she yelled defensively.
Gohan continued laughing and pulled out the wildflower that he had picked for her. "I was kidding Jade. Here I picked this for you"
She calmed down and turned attention to the pink flower. Her voice turned softer now, "thanks Gohan."
He smiled and grabbed her hand, "Come on, let's get you cleaned up."
Her heart began to race when he grabbed her hand and it only continued to get faster. She followed him into his house and they both braced themselves for ChiChi.
After taking a refreshing bath, Jade was back under the torture of ChiChi.
"OWW!" he eyes were tearing up.
"Hold still! I have to clean these up before you get infected. What were you doing anyways? I don't understand how you got so banged up." ChiChi was holding onto Jade dabbing her with cotton swabs.
"It's not my fault. Gohan's the one that did it," she whined.
"WHAT?! GOHAN!" the whole house shook at the roar of her voice.
Jade smirked to herself as ChiChi stormed out of the room in search for Gohan.
"Gohan, you hurt this girl?! How dare you. Haven't I taught you anything…?"
Jade couldn't help laughing as ChiChi continued to yell from the other room. She remained where she was and tried to picture what Gohan's face looked like at that moment. "Hehe, revenge is sweet."
The next few days they continued there training and Jade improved tremendously. Gohan was having a hard time keeping ahead of her. Wow she improved fast. She was able to control herself a lot better and had begun predicting Gohan's moves the more they fought. Her speed had increased as well and now she was almost as fast as Gohan, but still Gohan was clearly the better.
Jade had finally begun to inflict some damage on Gohan as they fought. Even though Jade was worse, it was clear that Gohan had taken a beating as well. She's getting good. I better watch myself now.
Jade advanced at him again landing a few hits then sending him flying back with a punch to the face again. She smiled as she watched Gohan struggle to gain control of himself.
Gohan stared at her and his blood boiled a little bit at the sight of her smirk. She was better than he thought. He studied her and stopped when he saw something that he didn't notice before. The tail wrapped around her waist had loosened. His lip curled as he thought, That's it.
Jade wondered what he was smiling about and flew over to wipe it off his face, but he dodged her quickly.
In a flash Gohan reached out and grabbed her tail. Jade gave out a screech as she felt all her power drain from her. She dangled helplessly from Gohan's grip as he laughed. "I knew it," he laughed. He brought down his leg on her back and sent her flying into the ground.
Jade struggled for breath and tried to ignore how much pain she was in.
"So I see you haven't learned that your power drains when your tail is captured. And also that you haven't trained to make yourself stronger so that doesn't happen."
Jade couldn't respond, but only listened as her rage built inside her. She struggled to push herself up and slowly stood on her wobbly legs. Her breathing was heavy as she stared up at Gohan and wiped the blood from her mouth with her arm. She could feel it. Power was growing inside her or maybe it was just her anger. She didn't care this time, she didn't try to stop it or control it. She only let it grow more and more and finally let out a loud roar sending everything around her flying.
Gohan shielded his eyes from the flying debris and when he returned his gaze to Jade, his jaw dropped.
She was glowing. Her hair was the same color, blonde, but it was standing up in spikes and she was glowing. Her eyes looked the same, but he couldn't tell. She transformed already. How?
Jade smiled at his reaction to her increased power. She disappeared and reappeared in front of Gohan so she could see his expression up close. Gohan saw that her eyes were green. So it's true. "Jade, you're a- a-."
Gohan never even saw the kick that sent him flying into the side of a hill. When he flew back up he didn't have much time to react because Jade was already attacking him. He could no longer dodge her attacks like before, instead he tried to block them as best as he could and struggled to hit her in return. She landed almost everything she threw while he had yet to touch her.
Over and over she sent him towards the ground and he finally had had enough. With a roar of his own her began to glow and advanced toward her. He noticed the fear in her eyes as he got closer and with one hit he sent her to the ground again and powered her down.
Jade didn't try to move. She knew that she was done for the day. Gohan landed softly next to her and was no longer glowing. Grabbed her hand and helped her up and saw that she was no longer transformed. "Jade I can't believe you're a Super Saiyan."
Jade held onto him to prevent herself from falling over. "I'm a Super Saiyan?"
"Well you were before that last attack. You were glowing and you're eyes turned green like mine."
"Really? So what does that mean then?" she asked curiously.
He tried to steady her shaking body with his hands, but only made her shiver worse. "It means that you are an incredible fighter and have improved so fast over a short amount of time. You have made it to the ultimate level."
She smiled up at him and did her best to try to ignore her nervousness at the fact that his hands were on her hips.
