Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ A Face in the crowd ❯ By now the room was moving! ( Chapter 2 )

Jade could hear giggliing, probably chi-chi when she was drunk she was happy. so they kept her drunk at parties, that way jade didn't feel like she had to run for cover every time Goku stepped out of line. Her hands began to jitter and the clinking of sake cups halted when she entered. She suddenly felt self conscience. when they all turned to look at her."Ladies,gentleman and namek.... Here back from the states is Tien's lovely Niece Jadine... thats juh-deen koo-ran...shin-han!"the room erupted in cheers and applauce as Jadine blushed slightly gazing over the crowded room. In the far right corner a face she knew all to well hovered there. He huffed slightly uncrossing and re-crossing his arms to find a drink.she held her gaze, the namek she had met when she was just 15 had crossed her mind quite a couple of times. Even while she was sparring she pondered slightly what it would of been like to be trained by someone with so much history. Naturally inclined to roll his eyes the namek did so, causing Jadine to return her gaze to the beautiful Bulma. pushing her into the crowd, Bulma winked at the shy Jadine. She balled up her fists letting down a soft gulp and heading straight for the food table. All this food was so...different. Sushi, fish and what on earth was that? Her stomach wretched slightly and she pulled away.It was still her first night and she joined a round of cards. She could still feel the namek and the other saiyan observing and grumbling loudly to each other. How funny they had once tried to kill each other... and now they got along. kindof.Jade grew a little woozy, excusing herself she walked past the namek and his friend into the restroom to sit. The days prior to this she was sitting in a confirmatory being told that she would have to move again. Thats all she was living off of anyway. the clothes on her back... how nice of them to have taken a little orphan in.Biting her lip she heard a gentle tap on the door..."Babe you okay?" came Bulma's voice."Yeah ha... thanks Bulma im alright i just needed a sit down..""you want me to start introducing you now?""no no .. its alright really! everything is so new... I've never felt this welcome before.."With this Bulma smiled and draped her arms around Jade's shoulders giving her a tiny kiss on her forehead."you've always got a home with the Z squad.."laughing Jadine screamed at herself not to cry and was left with a gentle click of the bathroom door.sighing at herself Jadine soon followed, slapping her knees and gettng up. No use hiding in her.. escorting herself out, no sooner did she close the door did she start to walk bumping into a rather large green man."OH!" she exclaimed. He furrowed his brow, an ear twitching slightly at her sudden yelp. "Hey sorry!" she laughed nervously. "My names Jadine!""i've gathered that ..." he scowled slightly. she sauntered a little bit closer to him and despite her rational thinking she continued conversation. "you know its only polite to give your name as well..""I think you are well aware of who i am little one.." he did have a point.Far off into the room the singing never ceased that night. Long into the morning. Clumsily making her way away from him Jadine smiled slightly to herself.was this home?The alcohol in her blood began to take over. She once again, sought out her favorite green bean. Legs trembling in her heels. She noted his presence in the corner. Putting on her best sober face, she grinned from ear to ear. "Its me again.."He gave her a grunt of acknowledgement and took a soft sip from his sake cup."I remember you when you first came here.. you were much smaller than."blushing she nodded. "I was 15, very young.."Piccolo shifted unsure why he was continuing this conversation with a human but doing nothing to stop it."what brings you here?"Jade trembled nervously."Family... i guess either way i was meaning to ask you something..""Nh?" The alcohol on her breathe was well...distracting despite the sincerity in her tone."I was hoping that i'd be able to um..well never mind ha! Im just really happy to be here and to see you again!" avoiding any further discussion. Better to put off begging for his attention you might seem a bit too interested.
