--- Chapter 1: When we met ---
I don't know how I ended up like this. Hah. I never even met them before. Daddy didn't like to talk about them. In fact, I met them by accident.
I figure I must have seemed very silly to them. Immature, and weak. Well, they just scared me. Come to think of it, I have never met anyone like them. They are one of the nicest, thought.
At least, Chiaotzu is. Tienshinhan is a bit different. He's not a social guy. Can't blame him. I guess people aren't comfortable around a three eyed giant. But he's the best I ever met.
Haha, I can't believe I'm saying this. I can't believe I have grown so attached to them. I guess it was because they accepted me for what I was. And they taught me from there.
At home, I was considered weak. I didn't need to be strong, because I was pretty. I was the princess, I was just me. Anyone else saw me as a shop a holic, silly retarded teenage girl. With a dangerous father, still. It was true, I was simple. I wasn't interested in world peace. Whenever the earth was in danger, I wasn't able to help, anyway. It just didn't get to me.
Did I ever feel helpless? Not really. Did it ever upset me I wasn't as strong as my brother? Never. But I keep asking myself why I ended up with Chiaotzu and Tienshinhan.
Maybe it was because they didn't judge me. I remember talking to them for the first time. The one day we left the city and went to the forest. And we crashed our car, and had to walk back home. I know, I know, I could fly. But I didn't like it. I never used that one special talent, not even when in trouble. We just walked, because all of our cell phones didn't work this far from the cities. Daddy would have growled about "useless earth devices", which made no sense at all.
He was a proud Earthling. Ha, THE proudest around. But everything that work against me, was evil. I am glad I never told him what happened that day. Most ridiculous thing was, I accidentally bumped into Chiaotzu.
Why?
I probably dropped something, and went after it to get it back. And suddenly I tripped, fell over and bumped into Chiaotzu. Of course, I yelled. From the so called "pain" of course, at first. And then I saw him. I had never seen anything like that before. He was small, pale, like a little clown. He was just as terrified as me, maybe. Or maybe not.
I don't know. Chiaotzu isn't what he seems to be. He's far more powerful than anyone imagines. Sometimes, I even think Tienshinhan doesn't really know what his friend can do.
Anyway, we scared each other at that moment. I even started crying. Geez, I was SUCH a twat. I am ashamed of who I was back then. Because, yes, I consider myself changed. Took me a long time, but I'm different now. Stronger.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Uh uh.. my ankle hurts."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Here, drink this. I always prepare this for Tienshinhan when he's pushing it to the limits."
"Tienshinhan?"
"My best friend."
"Oh. Wait. Who are you, then?"
"My name's Chiaotzu."
"I heard of you! You were.. old friends of my mother. And Yamucha!"
"You know Yamucha? And who is your mother?"
"SHe-"
"Wait, I see it! Oh you look just like her! You're Bulma's daughter, right?"
"Yes!"
And after that, I didn't know what to say. I mean, I was still terrified by his appereance. Of course, I immediately noticed he was nice, but my mother never mentioned her old friends were freaks. At least, one of them.
I hadn't met Tienshinhan yet. Would have gave me another heart attack. Still, at that time, I wasn't really interested in Tienshinhan, or Chiaotzu, for that matter. My ankle was hurt, and I wasn't exactly a rock hard person. I was whiny. But Chiaotzu was patient. And very nice to me. He took care of my ankle, and asked me if we still lived at the same place.
I explained where my home was, and he promised to take me back. I remember I laughed at him. So mean. I made him blush, terrible. I was just amused by the fact he was going to make sure I'd be back. He wasn't exactly able to carry me home, was he?!
He told me to wait right there. And he left. Then I suddenly realized I was in the middle of nowhere, on the ground, unable to move. I just laughed at the one person who was kind enough to help me out, and I probably insulted him so bad he would leave me there to die.
Okay, okay, so of course I wasn't going to DIE, but hey, as I said, I was horrible. I was good at panicking, and whining while doing that. So I cursed myself for ever taking off without my friend and start wandering around the forest. And I cursed myself for leaving the city, period. I was already regretting all the things I had done in my short life, when Chiaotzu came back.
You wouldn't believe how releived I was, but that didn't last long. He had brought someone with me, who startled me. No, that's not the right word. He scared me. I was terrified. He had 3 eyes!
Chiaotzu smiled and introduced his friend Tienshinhan to me.
"He'll take you home, is that okay with you?"
I must have nodded. Tienshinhan was a bit uncertain. He nodded at me, to greet me. I lost all my manners and did not reply. Chiaotzu grabbed his arm and thanked him for doing this. He said to "go easy" on me.
And he did. Tienshinhan was EVER so careful when he picked me up and asked me where I lived. I pointed in the right direction, unable to take my eyes off of.. his. All three of them. I was especially intruiged by the one on his forehead. I completely forgot to say goodbye to Chiaotzu. And before I knew it, we were flying at high speed, across the forest.
"How did you get here?" he asked, but his voice wasn't kind, or warm.
"My.. car broke down. I.. we had to walk back home. But I got lost."
"Hmph. Cars are useless. Can't you fly? Your father is Vegeta right?"
"I can fly, but just not that long, and not that fast. I don't like to fly."
"Why not?"
"It's scary. And it's tiring."
"You remind me of your mother. Strange, with a father like Vegeta"
He wasn't very fond of my father. I could tell by the tone of his voice, when he spoke of him. I could understand, my father was no saint. At least, not in the past. And I figured Tienshinhan had not seen, or talked to him in ages. Not since my birth, anyway.
Suddenly he stopped and landed. We were near my home, but he didn't go further. I asked him if he wanted to come in, to see my parents. He shook his head and told him he wasn't used being around people, not anymore.
He was strange, that's all I can say. And gruff. And mean, in a way. But polite, also. I was very confused by him. Especially when he frowned at me and told me to stop looking at him like that.
I thanked him and looked over my shoulder. I could manage to walk this far. I looked back at Tienshinhan only to find him floating in front of me. Before he could leave I asked him not to tell anyone what happened today.
Daddy would not be pleased with my little adventures outside the city. Strangely enough, Tienshinhan smirked and nodded. In return, he asked me not to tell anyone I met him. Why, I don't know. But I agreed and waved.
I returned home, making up excuses about my ankle, and knowing this was not the last time I would see Tienshinhan, or Chiaotzu.
