| Back to The Grove Chapter One The Z-fighters were all gathered at Kame house, the urgent message had passed through Tien that Lunch had been killed and that her daughter was coming to Kame house as part of Lunch's Will. "I don't know what to say. Lunch had a daughter, wow!" Master Roshi cried as he sat at the kitchen table with Juuhachi and Marron. "I don't believe it, Lunch's dead!" Yamcha cried as he thought about the crazy woman. "It doesn't seem real." "Yeah, I know, I just don't know what to think. Lunch was like a big sister to me for so long," Krillen said as he ran a hand through his short black hair. "When's she due to arrive, Tien?" Chiaotzu asked as he sat on the counter next to the triclops. "Anytime now," Tien said as he looked at them with his third eye, his two normal ones were closed. "Wonder what she looks like," Gohan said as he sat next to his mother and baby brother. "I bet she's really pretty," Krillen teased Tien, the tall bald man turning pink in the cheeks. "Yeah, but she'll be like, what, twenty years younger," Yamcha chuckled as he looked at his friend. "Although her mother was older than you, wasn't she Tien?" "Why don't you leave Tien alone, he's nervous enough as it is!" Chiaotzu chirped at the two jokesters. "The only thing is, why did you invite me here?" Piccolo said from the corner where he was in lotus position. "I didn't even know Lunch!" The green warrior looked at the group at the table. "Well, uh, we just wanted you to meet her, if she was anything like her mother," Krillen stammered as he tried not to laugh. "What Krillen is trying to say is, that if when she sneezes she becomes a lunatic, we have back up," Juuhachi said as she handed her daughter a juice box. "It'll be an interesting meeting for the girl anyway," Bulma said as she leaned against Vegeta, the Saiyan staring out the window. "What's her name again?" Chichi asked as she watched Trunks and Goten play. "I can't remember what it is." "It's Tinch," Tien said as he opened his eyes. "Does anyone else sense that?" Everyone shut-up and the Z-fighters looked up. "Wow, that's stronger than I thought a sixteen year old girl could be!" Yamcha cried as he looked up in shock. "She's not even powered up and THAT'S what she's sending out!" Krillen cried as he stood up. "Hey, where are all your manners, why don't we go out to meet the young thing!" Master Roshi cried as he started dancing out the door. "Can that man be anymore of a hentai?" Juuhachi asked as she picked up her daughter. Chichi picked up Goten and Bulma picked up Trunks and they left. As the group stood out in the front of the island a hover-cycle zoomed towards them. They all watched as the cycle circled and lowered blasting sand into the air. The girl got off coughing. Her hair was light brown and her eyes were pitch black. She smiled as she started over to them but a gust of sand blew into her face and she began to sniff. All those who knew Lunch began to back up. With one last sniff the girl smiled as she walked over to the group. "Hi, I'm?." she didn't finish, the sneeze cut her off. Yamcha, Krillen, Chichi, Bulma, Master Roshi, and Chiaotzu all back up against the house. Only Tien, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Juuhachi stood where they were. The girl's brown hair was almost white it was so blonde and her black eyes were a bright green. "HER HAIR'S BLONDE!" Yamcha cried as he huddled against the wall of the house. The girl looked at him and blinked. She walked over to Yamcha and looked him right in the eyes. "WOW! You're cute!" she cried in a happy voice. "I'm Nitch, what's your name?" Yamcha stood there a second before he smiled at the girl. "I'm Yamcha," he said as he slowly stood up straight. "We were all waiting for you, I guess." The girl smiled as she looked at all of them, the group that hadn't moved noticed that she had the look of a person a few cards short of a deck. "Well, that's so sweet of you. I'm so glad to meet all of you," she cried and the introductions began. As they were sitting at the table Nitch was telling them about her life and what happened to her mother. "Well, I grew up in a mountain village that held a lot of fighting matches so I learned how to fight, but I'm not too good at it. But my Mom helped me a lot, when she was blonde although she said she wished I wasn't blonde. I wonder what she meant my that?" Nitch said as she looked at her audience. "Anyway what was I saying?" "That's it I can't take this anymore!" Vegeta growled as he walked menacingly towards Nitch. "I can't stand this!" Without meaning to Vegeta knocked the pepper over right in Nitch's face. The girl sneezed again and everyone jumped back as the girl's eyebrows came together, making her look very menacing with her black eyes. She stood up and her power began to rise. "MAN! I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!" the girl cried out as she pulled a bandana out of her pocket and wrapped it around her head. "So how much did she tell you?" "What do you mean?" Krillen asked. The girl looked at him and sighed. "I know about the other me, she's just to stupid to know about me! Like I know all your names, but I don't remember what we were talking about," Nitch said as she sat back down. "Well, you were talking about Lunch, Nitch," Yamcha said as he looked at her. "The name's Tinch, I would rather die that be called Nitch," the girl said as she looked at them. "Look, I only remember a few things when I'm Nitch, usually it's who she's met and what guys she's tried to sleep with. If you haven't noticed yet, Nitch is a little bit of a ho-bag." "Yeah, she did seem a little too into Yamcha," Bulma teased the older man. "Anyway, I'm too young to be on my own legally so my Mom wanted me to live here with Krillen as my legal guardian," Tinch said as she looked around the room. "Hey, where's Goku?" "You know Goku!" Chichi cried and Tinch shook her head. "No, when my Mom was Lunch she used to tell me about when she lived here and how much she loved Krillen and Goku," Tinch said. "However when she was Raunch, she used to tell me how much she hated Master Roshi." "Wait a sec, I remember Lunch well enough to know one thing, she couldn't remember when she was Raunch, how can you do that?" Krillen asked as he looked at Tinch. "Well, I guess it's because my Dad was so in control, it must have been hereditary," Tinch said as she looked over at the short man. "Anyway, my Mom never remember, however that's how I got the two names. I was named Nitch by Lunch and Tinch by Raunch. I always liked Raunch better as a teacher but I loved Lunch as a daughter should love her mother. Raunch trained me to fight and told me that I could be the most powerful female fighter in the world. Lunch always wanted me to fall in love, get married, and start a real family." "Well, who's your dad?" Bulma asked as she looked at the way the girl was sitting, a perfect imitation of Tien. "Him," Tinch said as she pointed to Tien. |
