Two Worlds, One Woman
Chapter 5~Party Time!

((From the diary of Jeanne: March 28, dragon year 775))

{Despite my earlier fears, today turned out great! Sure I took a frying pan to the head, but it could have been worse. Most of the Z senshi are still a bit wary of me(me being a saiya-jin and all), but they don't think I'm a threat. S'okay, I'll earn their trust eventually. Still, everyone had a good time and I didn't blow anyone up like they thought I would.}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jetting down the hall, Miraku made fast tracks fort the front door, knowing full well that the two women standing outside wouldn't be happy if he kept them waiting too long. Grinning hugely, he opened the door and gestured them in, "Ohayo gozaimasu* Chichi-san, Debra-san."

"Ohayo Miraku-kun," Chichi replied, "Bulma in the kitchen?"

"Hai."

"So where's the new girl?" Debra asked as she toed off her shoes, spotting a new pair of black hi-tops amidst the usual pile of shoes.

Miraku pouted and feigned hurt, "Not even a "hello" for your favorite son-in-law?" he whined, giving the auburn haired senshi puppy dog eyes.

"You're my only son-in-law," she said, rolling her eyes, then embracing the young man. Pulling back, she smiled up at him, "Better?"

"Yup," he grinned goofily, "Jeanne's in the kitchen helping Bulma-san."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fully expecting to find a wild-haired, bad-tempered woman in full battle armor, Debra Kreiger and Chichi Son were caught off-guard by the newcomer's appearance. After a senzu, breakfast, a grueling training session, and a shower, Jeanne had opted for casual dress. Black bicycle shorts with neon green and pink stripes down either side and a crop-top T-shirt. The shirt itself was white with Mickey Mouse leaning under a palm tree wearing shades, shorts, and a hawaiian shirt. All colored in assorted neon colors. Her hair was pulled to the right in a side ponytail, earrings composed of assorted geometric shapes again in assorted neon colors, neon pink socks, and a bow made from neon shoestrings with beads on the end of each strand completed her ensemble.

'So *that's* who those shoes belong to,' Debra thought, still a little stunned.

Chichi's thoughts were similar to her own, 'You wouldn't know she was a saiya-jin if it wasn't for the tail.' Both women had noticed with some amusement that the girl had a neon green and pink ribbon tied in a bow at the base of her auburn tail. "So *you're* the new saiya-jin Goten was talking about."

Yelling out in surprise, Jeanne dropped open bag of flour she was holding, getting a facefull. Bulma nearly fell over laughing as the demi-saiya-jin coughed and sputtered. Cleaning her lenses with her shirt, Jeanne froze in shock when she replaced her glasses and spotted the two women. Despite being a full three and four inches taller than them, she still found them both intimidating. "Hajimemashite, Jeanne desu. Dozoyoroshiku onegaishimasu," she greeted, bowing in respect.

The older women bowed in return, pleasantly surprised by the her manners. "Hajimemashite."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'I think I'm going to faint,' Jeanne thought nervously. Any second now the other Z senshi would arrive. Fidgeting with her watch she saw that her hands were shaking.

A hand came to rest on her shoulder and she nearly hit the roof, "Calm down Jeanne. It's not going to be as bad as you think." Takeshi assured her, squeezing her shoulder gently.

"What makes you think I'm nervous?" she retorted, tilting her head up to glare at him indignantly. (A/N: Takeshi is 6' 8" and I'm 5' 7 ½")

"Well duh."

'Damn telempathy.'

~That and your tail's all fuzzed out.~

"HEY!! Quit reading my mind!" she exclaimed, jerking away.

"I didn't!" he exclaimed in defense holding his hands up in surrender.

"Oh yes you did! I didn't say that out loud!"

He put his hands on her shoulders and peered into her eyes, "Honestly Jeanne. I didn't read you're mind. You must have projected it unconsciously."

She glared suspiciously at him for a moment before deciding it wasn't worth staying angry over. "So you're sure they won't freak out?"

Takeshi let out a short laugh, hugging Jeanne with one arm, completely oblivious to her blush. "They will, but not like you're thinking. I promise, no one's going to blast you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So you're sure she's not dangerous?"

Bulma sighed in exasperation, the Son family had arrived early and were bombarding the blue-haired genius with questions. "I'm positive Gohan, as soon as everyone gets here I'll explain why even Vegeta trusts her."

"Vegeta-san trusts her?!" Videl exclaimed in shock. It had been months before the surly saiya-jin prince trusted her and even now he still gave her that glare. And he trusted this mystery girl who'd appeared out of nowhere three days ago. 'Must be because she's a saiya-jin,' she thought before exclaiming crossly, "So where is this mystery woman anyway?"

"Chill out Videl," Takeshi said, joining them at the table. "She's freaked out enough as it is."

"But where is she?" Gohan asked indicating the empty grounds. Takeshi blinked in surprise and turned around, sure enough, Jeanne was nowhere in sight.

" . . . . . . . . . . . . . "

"She's behind the tree," Vegeta informed them, Dende only knew when he'd arrived. "Brat! Quit hiding and get out here!" All eyes were on the nearby trees as the new demi-saiya-jin made her appearance. Whatever they had been expecting, she wasn't it.

Videl blinked in surprise, this was a saiya-jin? "She looks normal enough to me."

Gohan nudged his girlfriends shoulder, "Look behind her," he whispered nodding his head at the girl's frantically waving tail.

"Oh . . . my . . ."

"Jeanne `neechan!!!" Videl's exclamation was cut short by Goten's delighted cry. Darting forward the little boy leapt into her arms and hugged her tight, squealing happily as she spun him around. When they stopped, Goten looked up at Jeanne, his deep brown eyes wide and sparkling with concern. "Trunks-kun said you were hurt!" he exclaimed, hugging her again.

"Hai chibi. I was hurt. But I had a senzu this morning and I'm all better now," she assured the little boy who had effectively wrapped around her like a vise.

""I'm glad you're okay," he sniffled against her shirt.

"Me too, Goten-kun," she replied, hugging him in return.

Chuckling, Goku stepped up to the duo, "So you're the "nice lady" he was talking about."

Looking up, Jeanne froze, her face flushing bright red. Son Goku was only an arm's reach away, a warm, friendly smile on his face. Nodding dumbly, she couldn't stop her voice from stuttering, "I-I-I'm J-Jeanne, G-G-Goku-san."

Jumping off the stunned demi-saiya-jin, Goten squeezed her hand reassuringly, "It's okay Jeanne `neechan, Otousan's really nice."

Cocking his head to one side, Goku gave her a silly grin, "So Vegeta says you don't know how to fight?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe you taught them that song," Gohan commented to Jeanne, who was currently nursing a large bump on the back of her head. She and the second generation Z senshi had escaped to the roof after Chichi had gone on a pan-swinging rampage.

Jianu snickered, "That's *exactly* why I never taught them that one."

"If I'd known there'd be such a violent reaction to it . . . ." Jeanne muttered a tad sullenly.

Takeshi wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "Look on the bright side, at least you managed to dent her pan." Jeanne groaned and thunked her head his shoulder while the others rolled their eyes.

Videl sighed and shook her head at him, "Somehow Takeshi, I don't think that's making her feel any better."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the last guest had departed, Bulma went to find Jeanne. She wanted to talk to her about starting testing tomorrow. It didn't take long to find her, the demi-saiya-jin girl had retreated to the kitchen with the Dragonball Guardians. The eight college students were sitting at the table, quietly talking.

" . . . only seven months, that's not too bad."

"Could be worse. It could be the full year."

Bulma walked in just in time to see Jeanne smack her head on the table. "Come on, Jeanne-chan. It's not that bad is it?"

Lifting her head, Jeanne rubbed the faint bump on her head, "Iie, it's just that, well . . . my family is probably freaking out by know, they don't have any idea where I am! That and I'm going to get way behind on my classes and when I do get back I probably won't have a job anymore!"

"Look on the bright side, at least you'll know how to fight by the time you get back." Jianu quipped, earning a glare from Jeanne.

"Urusai na**," she growled.

Disclaimer: Here we go. I do not own any of the characters from Dragonball, Dragonball Z, or Dragonball GT. They are all the property of Akira Toriyama, Bird Studio, Toei Animation, and Funimation Inc. However, all the other characters in my stories are mine. I'm not making any money off of this, its just for fun. And to top it off I'm a college student who works part-time at Wal-Mart so you know I don't have any money. So if you sue me you won't get anything.
