A Saiyan's Melody

Chapter 3-Admit it Gohan!

"Hey Gohan! Where you waiting for the bathroom?" I tried to sound as cheerful as I could. I needed to make sure that Gohan didn't suspect anything. I mean, it's not everyday that you tell one of your long-time friends that your a mermaid!

"Uh, no. I was actually coming to see if you were okay. I heard a thud coming from here and..." Oh man, he was stuttering real bad. He was really worried. I kinda felt bad.

I put my hands on his shoulders, "Gohan, relax! I'm fine." Then I walked passed him to go back into the kitchen.

Man, that was way to close. He was just about to open the door! I don't even know how I got dry so fast. I was looking for a towel and, well I'm not sure. I was just waiting for him to open the door because I knew that I wasn't going to be able to hide my little secret now. The room started to fill up with steam. I looked down and saw my legs! My hands were clenched in a fist on top of them. It was so weird. Anyway, I quickly got up and opened the door before Gohan got a chance to. And well, you know the rest.

"Rochelle! Are you okay? We all heard a huge thud! Did you hurt yourself? Do have a bump on your head?" Oh man, leave it to Chi chi to get over worried really fast.

"Guys, I'm fine. When I was getting a towel to dry my hands and the bar of soap fell on the floor. Guess I must have slipped on it." I tried to sound as casual as possible. I was still shaken up a bit.

"Well, I'm about to make lunch. So why don't you guys go play or something." I heard Chi chi suggest

"Okay mother, do you guys want to spar?" Gohan suggested turning to Victoria and I.

"Uh, why don't you two go on ahead. I'll help Chi chi with lunch." Everybody gave me a questioning look.

"Okay, what ever you say." Gohan was disappointed. He has always liked sparing with me. We were permanent sparing partners. Then both Gohan and Victoria ran outside and flew off to what I'm guessing is our normal training spot.

"So, what do you need help with?" I asked Chi chi. I could tell she was still puzzled. She knows I can't resist a spar.

"Alright missy, whats up? I know you can't resist a spar," she knows me so well, "and especially when it's with Gohan." Okay that made me blush a little. It's true. I can't resist sparing with Gohan. I don't know why though.

"I'm sorry Chi chi, I can't tell you. Not yet." I wish I could tell her. I trust Chi chi. I know she can keep a secret, but this is something that has to wait.

"Oh. Okay dear. Now for lunch! Can you help me by heating up some water? And no energy blasts." Chi chi said. Ha, I love Chi chi's sense of humor.

"Awww. Okay then." I grabbed a pot from the cabinet and set it on the stove. Wait a sec, There needs to water in the pot first! Man talk about a brain fart. I grabbed the pot and put it in the sink. I was about to reach for the handle and the water turned on by itself!

"What the!" Okay, this is weird. I tried it one more time to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me. I went for the handle again. The water turned on by itself.

"This could be useful." I just reached for the handle again and kept it there. 'Yeah this could defiantly be useful' I thought to myself.

I brought the pot over to the stove. I thought to myself; 'Hmmmm, I wonder?" I put my hand over the pot and began to close my hand into a fist. The water began to boil! That would explain how I got dry so quickly.

"Chi chi, the water is ready!"

"Already! It normally takes forever to heat up." Oops, maybe I should have waited a bit. Oh well.
