Chapter 6: Learn To Control Energy
"What do you want now?" I ask a little irritated that I had to put my sleep on hold.
"You must be exhausted after whats been happening to you lately." Gohan says.
"Well of course! It's not everyday that you get chased by a hungry T-Rex!" I shot back frustrated. I continued to stare at the ceiling, rerunning the whole situation I had to go through.
If Gohan didn't find me when he did, I wouldn't even be in this room or talking to him right now. That reminds me..
"Gohan, when you defeated that dinosaur, you were so fast. I was just wandering how you're so strong?"
I was dumbfounded by this.
Him and his friends... It's like they have super powers or something. I've never seen anything like that in my life! Just thinking about it is overwhelming.
I looked over at Gohan who seemed a little nervous. It must be the question I asked.
"You don't have to tell me, i'll understand if you won't answer."
"No, its fine, i'll explain." He makes up his mind. I sat back up extremely interested in what he had to say.
"Well don't just sit there! Take a seat, relax!" I say overly excited. He cocked his head and then smiled, pulling out a chair and sitting across from me. I didn't want to seem obsessed or anything, its just that where i'm from, no living person is able to do that! I watched as he took a deep breath.
"The truth is, i'm not just a human. I'm also a saiyan." He confesses.
"A saiyan? What's that?" I ask.
Gohan then informed me that the saiyans was an almost extinct alien warrior race. He also mentioned that only him, Trunks, two little boys, and a guy named Vegeta was the last in existence still alive.
"So that means that.. You're an alien?" I ask a little shocked over what i'm hearing.
"Yes." He answers.
"So, that means ChiChi is one too?"
"No. My father's full saiyan. I get that race and my powers from him. My mother is strong for a human too but not nearly as strong as my dad and I."
"Oh wow." I comment.
Gohan looks more like a human though. I never suspectef that he was in fact half alien. I know some people wouldn't probably believe what he's saying, but I get the feeling he's telling the truth.
He then further explained about super saiyans also.
That explains why his hair and eyes changed. I hate to admit it, but that's so cool!
"Gohan, that's really awesome!"
He looked flabbergasted. "You think so?"
"Yes. I would trade anything just to have a chance to fly and fight like you!." I say cupping my hands together.
"If you like, I can teach you."
"Seriously?!" I say with widening eyes.
He nodded.
"Ahhh! Thanks so much!"
I can't believe this! I thought that no matter what, it was impossible to fly, excluding jet planes, airplanes, helicopters..etc.
"Gohan and Tania, you should get some rest. It's way past midnight!" Chi-Chi shouts from somewhere inside the house.
"I'll teach you in the morning, ok? Goodnight." Gohan says with a smirk as he closed the door behind him.
"Goodnight..." I wave while looking away from his smirk.
Did I really just make a MALE friend today? Sure...
Preparing for the next day, I shield my body with the sheets that kept me warm from the neck down. For the first time in a long time, I actually smiled for tomorrow to come.
I get to actually spend some time with an actual boy for the first time.
The morning came by quick. I did my usual morning routine and went downstairs to get some breakfast Chi-Chi had prepared.
"Good morning, Tania. Did you have a nice sleep?" She greets me.
"Yes, and good morning to you too." I reply.
My stomach was growling like crazy!
I just HAVE to get some food into me!
I took a seat and noticed that almost everything that was on that table had disappeared. I glared at Gohan who was once again, shoving eggs and such into his mouth. I know he told me saiyans have a large appetite, but this is just ridiculous!
"Gohan, slow down would you? And save some for us too! We're hungry too you know!"
"What?" He asks with his mouth full.
He should really learn some table manners...
"Oh, hey Tania. Sorry, but you better hurry up and eat, before I devour everything myself." He warns me.
"What?! There's no way you're going to eat my share of the food!"
With that said, I hurried and ran to the first chair that was the closest and gathered most of the food away from Gohan. Unlike him, I actually had manners when it came to eating with my mouth closed. Although, I laughed a little at our childish behavior.
After what seemed like an endless meal, Gohan and I went outside to start with the basics of flight.
Gohan's P.O.V
"I never really done this before, but I guess teaching can't be that hard. Anyway, to fly, you take control of your energy then you sorta put it beneath you and your energy will hold you up." I summarize as best as I could.
"Energy?" Tania asks looking confused.
"Yeah. It's like the power you feel inside your body."
"So in other words, I can't fly without using energy?" She says while observing her hands. She then sighed.
I rubbed my head, unsure of how to explain it better.
I'll just have to show her then...
I got her attention and explained the steps she needed to know in order to properly release her ki.
"Okay just watch me. I'll do this slowly. That way, you'll learn it better."
Tania nodded and I began to teach.
"First thing you have to do is keep yourself completely calm. Then listen to the center of your body until you start to feel a pull. Then.. Just bring it out!" I explain, releasing a small orb of light between my hands.
She looked in awe as she stared intently at my ki. I stopped and rested my fists on my hips. Tania was still in a amazed sort of state. She stayed like that for a few more seconds then finally snapped back into reality.
"It's strange, but I have a feeling that i've done this before.." She says as she calmly relaxed her muscles.
Hmm, I doubt it but who knows.
"It's like this, right?" Tania asks confident. I felt as she easily released her energy between her hands.
Shock was written over my face as soon as she got it right, I never expected any untrained human to summon their energy so quickly! It was unbelievable!
"Tania, you got it! Now we can move onto the next step." I say throwing my fist into the air. She looked back up at me with sparkly eyes and a huge smile.
Now when I think about it, she's actually kinda pretty when she smiles like that.
"Do you think that I can be able to fly now, Gohan?"
"After seeing how fast you were able to bring out your energy, you'll be flying in no time at all!"
I can tell Tania was very excited after being told that she'll be able to fly. Although, the fact that she was easily able to summon her ki really had me thinking. Some of that ki she letted out was mainly pure but some had a bit of an evil feeling to it. I doubt that she might have some evil in her, but I have to make sure she wasn't, and there was only one way to know for sure.
"Gohan, quit daydreaming! Hurry and teach me this thing!" Tania whins while standing back up.
"Sure, but first, wouldn't you like to know how it feels to be up really high in the sky? I have to make sure you're not scared of heights or anything cause that'll be bad if you are." I suggest hoping she'll take the offer I gave her.
"Well I guess, if I have to." She agrees.
I nodded my head and turned my attention towards the sky.
"Nimbus!" I yell.
"Nimbus?" I hear Tania silently ask herself.
A few seconds later, my old yellow cloud-shaped pal appeared right in front of me.
Good. Now I can test to see if Tania really is fully pure-hearted or not.

PLEASE READ!!!!!!
I know that I used some dialogue from the actual show. Sorry about that, it's just that I couldn't really think of anything better to say and Gohan knew what he was talking about, so ya. Oh and just in case if you're wondering how Tania was able to control her energy very quickly, that'll be revealed later on. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this! Please comment and vote <3
