Part 1 of Chapter 16

*J'dee*
I so wasn't a morning person. Pulling the blanket over my head to block out the light I just wanted to sleep, but I could feel my kitten climbing all over me and hearing her mewling in my ear, it was her way to get up. She was so loud in the morning.
"Go away Tiger...." I grumbled from under the sheets.
"Jera get up!" I heard Gohan call. I sat up and sighed.
"Five more minutes please!!" I shouted back.
"Sorry Tobias and Mabelle are at Capsule Corp. They want to talk to you, so get up and get moving. Hurry up and I can drop you in on the way to work."
I got up and padded in to the bathroom grumbling incoherently to myself.

When I emerged I saw Gohan blink as he looked at me and I looked round.
"What?" I asked. He smiled suddenly.
"You look older like that." I looked down at the same jeans I wore the day before, a short sleeved black nylon cotton top that clung to me under an open collared long powder blue sleeved button shirt, and a light blue sports coat over that. I musta looked like a yuppie, I grabbed my yellow material bag and pulled my cellphone out and turned it on sticking it in my jean pocket I then attached my key ring chain to my jeans.
"Yeah well how do you think I managed to hook an accountant who was fourteen years older than me huh?" I quizzed him.
"Fourteen years older than you! Geez that would be like Trunks and Pan!" He remarked.
"I know disturbing isn't it?" I laughed, (a.n: I have nothing anything against the Trunks Pan pairing.) "When I was watching sailor moon he was off completing college."
"Sailor what?" Gohan asked and blinked.
"Never mind. Lets just go."

I sat in the passanger side of the car as Gohan drove us to Capsule Corp. Gohan looked at me as he was driving.
"You know I'm going to make you go to high schol." He said simply.
"What? Unfair!" I exclaimed. "What about the other auth- er saiyans?"
"Hey I had to go to high school and save the world, you can do it to."
"But I'm not you!"
"Look you want to fit in don't you?" He asked.
"Fit in? C'mon this won't make me fit in." I waved my tail at him angrily.
"Jera don't make me stop the car." He said firmly.
"I don't care I'll just fly." I said crossing my arms in a Veggie pose.
He laughed. "But do you know where to fly to?" He asked.
"I'll just follow the energy."
"You're sensitive to energy you'll get lost."
"No I won't!"
"You were lost when dad found you."
"Shut up. I'm not talking to you now." I grumbled.
Gohan shook his head. "Teenagers." He chuckled.
"Hey you were one too. Once." I added.
"I thought you weren't talking to me." He laughed.
"GAH!!!!" I cried out. "That's it stop the car I'm flying!!"
"No way am I letting you out of my sight. Who knows what damage you'll cause."
"Hey! I won't cause any damage."
"Yes you will. Who knows I'll have to stop you from stalking Yamcha or something stupid like that."
"I'm not going to stalk Yamcha!"
"Or steal his jacket." Gohan added with a chuckle.
"It wasn't his jacket it was Mr Popo's..." I grumbled. "Unfortunately." I added softer.
"What?" Gohan asked confused.
"Don't worry." I sighed. "You wouldn't understand." 'BananaGirl though, man how could she do that to me....' I thought upset. 'Man what I wouldn't give for his jacket.'
"Try me." Gohan said.
I looked at him and saw his face. "No you won't."
"Jera I'm suppose to help you don't ask me why but I got that feeling there."
"Help me get Yamcha?"
"No... will you stop that."
"Hey you started it."
Gohan chuckled. "I did too, how about we just won't mention him from now on. You seem to be upset about that."
I nodded. "Yes we won't mention -him-."
I sighed to myself and Gohan gave me a sympathetic look. "Hey I don't think he would of gone for it Jera, you're still in high school he's older than I am and I'm a teacher."
"I can't even dream can I?" I let out a sigh and looked at Gohan. If he were mirai Gohan I would jump him in a second, there was something about that one armed guy that I admired. 'Geez cut it out!' I thought to myself angrily. I was going all school girl again.
Gohan looked at me confused. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Gohan." I replied with a sigh.
"You're a lousey liar."
***
"I'm here!!" I called running in to Capsule Corp, I skidded to a halt seeing Tobias beaten up and I blinked and looked at Mabelle fussing over him, she and Mirai were taking him somewhere obviously to be healed.
"Wait let me guess my psychic powers are picking up Vegeta right?" I asked and smirked crossing my arms across my chest. "C'mon even I'm not that stupid to take him on this early. I'd go for Trunks first."
"Ahem...." A familiar voice cleared his throat from behind me. I turned round slowly and looked at ordinary Trunks standing there looking unimpressed with me. But then again we didn't get along to well anyway. I turned back to Mabelle quickly.
"So what can I help you with, that will keep me occupied for the entire day, ssssssooooo... keeping Gohan from sending me to school...." I said remembering and cringing at the conversation we'd had in the car on the way here about 'fitting in'.
