Chapter 8: The Return Of An Old Foe

About three weeks passed by since i've been here. After five days, I was finally able to master flight thanks to Gohan! As time passed by, Piccolo would also sometimes swing by and would help me learn how to fight. They were impressed at how fast I would improve with my strength everyday!

I also got the chance to meet all of Gohan's friends. It turns out they all have powers too! It didn't surprise me though, it should only be expected. Actually Gohan told me that there was only two more people that I haven't met yet, and today was the day i'll get to meet them! Excitement filled my body as I calmly walked outside to have some fresh air.

I stretched my arms and let out a sigh.

"Today is gonna be a long day.." I say to myself letting the breeze relax me. I was pretty disappointed that I haven't really gotten to talk to Gohan during the weekend since he seemed more interested in his studies and training with his friends. It's almost as if he didn't have anytime to spend time with me...

It was pretty windy today and it probably wasn't a good idea to wear a skirt. I went back inside to my room and pulled open my drawer. About two weeks ago me and Chi-Chi had went shopping in the city along with Bulma to find me some clothes that they said would look cute on me. There was this one outfit that they forced me to try on and when I came back out they informed me that Gohan would love to see me in this. I tried to explain to them that I didn't think of Gohan 'that way' but they just laughed it off.

I basically had worn all the other clothes they had bought for me and this was the only one that was still cleaned. I could feel my face turn a bit red as I took it out of the drawer. Will he really like me in this?

I shook my head. No, what am I thinking? I don't care about what Gohan thinks about me..

Discarding my clothes, I threw them in the laundry bin then slightly smiled at the outfit I had to wear. It was a blue spaghetti strap tank-top that had ruffles decorated on it along with blue jean shorts that's halfway to my thighs. I decided that I was going to wear my hair down today since the past two weeks i've only worn it in either a bun or ponytail.

I brushed my hair to get rid of any unwanted knots that might've formed and took a good look at myself in the mirror. Lately, I began to care about how I looked physically. This has never happened to me before, but now it's like I need to check constantly in the mirror to make sure I look okay, especially when i'm about to see Gohan.

"Gohan..."

Suddenly the door went flying open as Gohan came walking in.

"Tania are you rea-" He begins to say, but then began to turn red.

I wondered why he was looking at me like that and glanced at my reflection in the mirror. I completely forgot I was HALF NAKED! I screamed and began to throw random objects at him.

"Get out! You PERVERT!" I shouted throwing my dresser at him.

It hitted him straight on but as it did so, all my clothes and lingerie had fallen out and landed on top of him. Gohan rubbed his head as he slowly got back up.

"What did you do that for?" He asks continuing to rub the back of his head.

I heard Chi-Chi running all the way upstairs and saw that the wall had a huge hole in it from my dresser.

"What's going on you two?!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. I immediately pointed at Gohan for having to start this whole awkward scene. Once Chi-Chi took a look at me she understood everything that had taken place.

"Gohan! What are you thinking about walking into her room while she's changing?"

"It was an accident! I didn't even know what she was doing up until now!" Gohan explained.

Fortunately for me, Chi-Chi dragged him out by holding onto his ear. I slid down to my knees feeling very embarrassed after what just happened. I can't believe he just saw me in my bra and panties! He deserved to be dragged out like that. Such a perv!

After slipping on my outfit, I proceeded to clean up the mess I had caused. Ten minutes later, I flew without Gohan to Kame House since I didn't feel like being bothered by him.

"Hold on, Tania!" I hear from behind. I turn to see Gohan but I just ignored him and continued flying. He soon caught up to me and stopped right in front of me.

"What is it?!" I ask irritated while folding my arms.

"Are you mad at me?" He asks.

I wasn't mad about the fact that he saw me half nude, it was because he didn't even come to see me during the week. It made me start to think that he didn't want anything to do with me. I need to stop thinking this way! He's only my friend...

Without a word, I flew around him and continued to Kame House. A few minutes later, we finally had made it. I knocked on the door and waited until a small child opened the door. He looked as though he could've been about three. His hair was black and spiky that was pointing about every direction.

"Gohan!" The kid shouted excited as he ran over to Gohan.

"Hey Goten! How've you been?"

Goten? Oh now I remember! Gohan was telling me that he had a younger brother that one day. Goten looks so cute! Suddenly I felt someone tugging on one of my fingers, I looked down to see another small child around the same age as Goten who looked EXACTLY like Trunks but a mini-version of him.

I bent down to his height and warmly smiled.

"Hi, my name is Tania. What's your name little guy?" I introduced myself while ruffling the kid's hair.

"What?! Tania's here!" A voice says from inside.

Seconds later, Master Roshi appeared right in front of me puffing his face with his hands as he stared at my chest.

"I'm so happy your here! Lets say we go inside baby and catch up with some stuff." He says pervertedly while trying to land his hands on my breasts.

"Hands off old man!" I shout angry punching him deep into the sand before storming off into the house with Gohan and the two kids following behind.

We walked inside to find everyone staring at the T.V watching the news. Explosions can be heard and felt throughout a city named Southern Topa.

"Gohan this is bad, watch the news." Yamcha demanded as he and Gohan sat down on the floor.

"Southern Topa is being attacked! Repeat: Southern Topa is being attacked! All citizens are fleeing on foot, the monster Cell has returned! World champ, Hercule, is being sent to the scene as we speak!" A news reporter says as everyone looked horrified as a giant grasshopper-looking thing appeared on the screen.

"Cell?! I thought I killed him.." Gohan says while cletching his fist in disbelief.

What's going on and who's this Cell guy?
