Dragonball Mae: The Early Years

Fly Videl

"Today let's work on seeing how much higher you can float." Gohan said enthusiastically.

"Okay!" Videl nodded as she stood and focused.

Mae laid on the ground already bored. She was missing training with Vegeta to teach this girl how to fly. Goten already had flying down and he was zooming through the sky. "Gohan!" Mae snapped as she jumped up.

"What's up Mae?" Gohan asked.

"Spar with me." Mae put her hands on her hips.

"Are you sure?" Gohan asked he didn't want them going all out in front of Videl.

"Are you afraid I'm going to kick your ass?" Mae grinned.

"Oh now it's on!" Gohan stepped into his fighting position.

Mae brought her hands up and readied herself. She knew that she needed to hold back but at least this was better than nothing. "I hope you are ready Gohan!" She grinned as she launched herself at him.

Videl was floating above the tree line watching the twins fight below her. Mae seemed to be stronger than Gohan but surprisingly, he reacted well against her attacks. She brought a leg up and he blocked it with his forearm.

"Is that the best you've got?" Gohan asked. He had been sparing with Goten but Mae was much more experienced.

"I'm just getting warmed up!" Mae said as she ducked down low then used her powerful legs to bring herself up using her momentum to get in a clean punch on Gohan's face. Since she was shorter than most fighters she was skilled at getting in close and taking opponents down that way.

"Ah!" Gohan cried out as he fell to the ground.

"I win!" Mae declared as she held an energy ball in front of his face.

"Fine I give!" Gohan wiped his face. He looked up and saw Videl staring down at them. "Mae I think we might have gone too far."

"Nah I don't think so." Mae whispered back looking at the girl. "I held back a lot so if you can't handle that you have a lot more training to do."

"Hmph." Gohan snorted before flying up to talk to Videl. Mae sat down on the grass and formed an energy ball and twirled it around hands, bored. Gohan and Videl landed next to her.

"I want to be able to fly like him." Videl said looking to Goten.

"Well now that you can float you can move on to the harder moves." Gohan told her before going up to talk to Goten.

Videl sat down next to Mae. "I think it's time for a break."

"If you say so." Mae said the energy ball still weaving through her fingers.

Gohan landed back down and Videl asked, "what did you tell him?"

"Oh I was just giving him some advice." Gohan stammered. Mae gave him a knowing glance, she figured he told Goten to slow down.

"Oh I see." Videl stretched and Gohan sat down next to them. "Do you think you guys could keep this a secret from my dad?"

"Sure!" Gohan said. "We don't even see your dad so it's not a problem."

"Oh good." Videl sighed. "He'd probably freak if he knew I was here with you, Gohan."

"What about Mae?" Gohan cocked his head.

"Nah he's okay with me hanging out with her." Videl explained. "I told him that I'm training her."

"I'm the one training you." Mae said flatly.
