Disclaimer: Standard disclaimer for me. I do not own Dragonball Z and I’m not making any money off of it.

Introduction: This story takes place in two different dimensions. One in our dimention, present time, and the other in DBZ dimention, at the time when everyone was waiting for Goku to return from space. It’s been done before but I wanted to try my hand at it. A crossover between our world and theirs. It is different from any of those other stories you’ve read though I promise you that. It starts off in our dimention but don’t worry, it will soon move into the DBZ dimention!

Stranger in the Mirror

By: L.A. Whitfield

Math class REALLY stinks! Do you hear me! Math Stinks!! Alicia screamed mentally.

Alicia Robinson hated math class with a passion. It was almost time to go home and the only thing on her mind was her favorite TV show Dragonball Z. Today, Goku was returning home from space to be greeted by Trunks and the rest of the z-gang. She’d been waiting for this episode for a long time and it was just an hour away!

She stared down at the front cover of her notebook. It was covered in DBZ artwork. Her artwork. She was very proud of it. Especially the pictures she drew of her favorite character, Goku. What a hunk! Gosh, if only she could snap her fingers and suddenly appear in Dragonball Z land! She could get rid of Chichi and sweep Goku off his feet! Alicia giggled to herself. Of course Goku probably wouldn’t be too happy about that! She giggled again. She didn’t notice Mrs. Rincon staring at her. Her friend Christina nudged her.

“Hey Alicia! Mrs. Rincon just asked you a question!” Christina hissed shaking her.

The rest of the class laughed but then shut up when Mrs. Rincon glared at them. Alicia looked up the teacher with a sheepish grin that was very similar to Goku’s grin when ever he was in trouble with Chichi.

That’s what happens when you become a Dragonball Z addict, you start imitating your favorite characters without realizing it. She was even guilty of rubbing the back of her head on occasion whenever she didn’t know the answer to a question. Christina really teased her about that.

“Miss Robinson,” her teacher snapped, “I hope you where working on your home work assignment and not another picture!” Alicia shook her head and straightened up in her chair. This wasn’t the first time she’s been caught day dreaming in class and drawing pictures of DBZ. The rest of the class new this and teased her on a regular basis because of it.

“No mam! I was just taking notes!” She quickly reassured her teacher while slipping her sketch carefully out from her notebook into her desk. By the time Mrs. Rincon reached her and grabbed her notebook from her, her picture was safely hidden in her desk. Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. Her friend Christina covered her face and shook her head. There were indeed notes in Alicia’s notebook but, not today’s notes.

“Miss Robinson, would you mind explaining to me why yesterdays notes are the last notes in your notebook if you were just writing todays notes down in them?” She asked sternly. The rest of the class giggled and whispered to each other. Alicia groaned with embarrassment. Mrs. Rincon became impatient and slapped the notebook down on Alicia’s desk.

“I’m afraid your going to have to stay after school to day Alicia and catch up on todays lesson.” Mrs. Rincon said shaking her head and turning around just as the bell rang.

Everyone jumped up from their desks and flew out of the class room all, giving Alicia dirty looks and sticking their tongues out at her. Alicia was REALLY upset. Detention meant she was going to miss DBZ! She wanted to strangle Mrs. Rincon.

“HAHA! You’ve got detention!” Annoying little Robert Addington, class president, teased taking the time to stop in the front of her desk just to say it. Mrs. Rincon tapped Robert on the shoulder getting the boys attention.

“Would you like to join Alicia for detention Mr. Addington?” She asked, eye brows raised, foot tapping. She even had an extra detention slip ready in her hand and she waved it around in front of the boys nose. Robert quickly shook his head and raced to the door.

“No mam! I’m going! Bye Alicia!” He called, laughing the entire way out the door. The only people left in the room were Alicia, Mrs. Rincon and Alicia’s friend Christina. Christina knew how upset Alicia was because she was also a DBZ freak, just not as big a freak as her best friend.

“Don’t worry Alicia, I’ll record it for you OK?” She soothed patting her friends shoulder. Alicia brightened up and smiled up at her friend.

“Really?! Oh thank you so much! I owe you one big time Christina! But hey! You better hurry up and go before you miss the bus!” Alicia said pushing her friend forward.

Christina laughed and gave Alicia a thumbs up. “Catch ya later girl friend!”

“Bye! I’ll stop by your house later to watch it!” Alicia called back.

“OK! Bye!” Christina waved and ran down the hall way to catch the bus. Alicia shook her head and turned to face the chalk board. Mrs. Rincon was still standing there holding out the detention slip. Alicia took it and sighed.

“This is your second detention Alicia. If you get another one, I’m afraid I’m going to have to call your parents to set up a parent teacher conference. You need to start paying closer attention in my class Alicia and no more of these drawings!” She said pulling the picture out of her desk. Alicia blushed and stared down at her desk. So she had seen her slip the picture into her desk.

“I’m sorry Mrs. Rincon. Thanks for not showing the class.” She whispered, head still lowered. Mrs. Rincon sighed and put the picture back in her desk.

“Well, I can understand why you wouldn’t want the class to see it. I’m not as evil as I seem to be. I just want to you do better, that’s all. You can do your artwork in art class, not in my class. But I’m serious about the parent teacher conference. If this happens again, I’ll have to call your parents.”

Alicia turned green and stared wide eyed at Mrs. Rincon. No! She couldn’t let that happen! Her parents would kill her but mostly, they might ground her from the TV!

“Yes Mrs. Rincon.” She said with a heavy sigh.

Her parents had already been threatening to ground her from the TV and warned her that if she did anything else, that she wouldn’t be able to watch any TV for a month! A MONTH! She would die without any DBZ for an entire month! She would be spending all of her of her money on just video tapes, so that Christina could record all of the episodes.

Alicia watched as Mrs. Rincon sorted through all the papers on her desk. When she found her notebook filled with all of her notes for each of her lessons, she took it and brought it to Alicia.

“Here Alicia. Copy all of the notes for todays lesson. After that, I want you to take this quiz.” She said handing the notebook and the quiz paper to Alicia. Alicia groaned and pulled out her pen and notebook.

“You have one hour to finish.” Mrs. Rincon said sitting down behind her desk.

An hour later...

“OK, times up.” Mrs. Rincon announced walking towards Alicia’s desk. Alicia handed Mrs. Rincon her notes and the quiz. Mrs. Rincon took them and walked back to her desk. She sat down and started to read over them. Alicia sighed and rested her head in her hands.

Ten minutes later...

HURRY UP ALREADY!!! Alicia screamed mentally. Mrs. Rincon was still reading over her quiz and taking her sweet time about it too. Alicia raised her hand.

“Yes, what is it Alicia?” Mrs. Rincon asked scooting her reading glasses off her face. Alicia forced a smile and asked as politely as she could.

“May I go now Mrs. Rincon?” She tried not to sound too desperate to get out of there but she was dying to see her favorite show. Mrs. Rincon made a weird little noise and finally set the papers down.

“Hmmm, I suppose so...”

“Great!” Alicia shouted jumping up and grabbing all of her supplies.

“Wait Miss Robinson, I didn’t say you could go just yet!” Mrs. Rincon quickly added. Alicia moaned and plopped back down in her seat.

“Sorry...” She mumbled. Mrs. Rincon sighed and stood up.

“Alicia, I hope you’ve learned something today.” Alicia nodded her head impatiently and let her continue her lecture.

“Well, you made a hundred on your quiz. I thought you should know.” Mrs. Rincon said holding out the quiz sheet. Alicia took it and grunted. Mrs. Rincon shook her head.

“If you would just pay attention Alicia, you could make grades like this all the time.” Alicia nodded her head again not really paying attention.

“All right. You can go now, BUT!” She nearly screamed as Alicia jumped out of her seat again. Alicia froze and stared at Mrs. Rincon questionably.

“Tomorrow, if you start drawing again, I’m calling your parents.”

“Yes Mrs. Rincon. I promise, I won’t even bring it to class tomorrow.” This got an approving nod from her teaching.

“Good. Now, do you need a ride home?” She asked. Alicia shook her head and headed for the door.

“No thanks! I don’t live that far away! I can walk!” She shouted already out the door. She head Mrs. Rincon shouting, “BE CAREFUL! SEE YOU TOMARROW!” Alicia rolled her eyes and skidded to a stop in front of the doors to the exit of the building.

“I can’t wait to leave this dump for good! Two more years of this hell hole!” She said aloud pushing the doors open and pulling her skate board from her back pack. A janitor just happened to be walking by.

“Hey Alicia!” He called waving. Alicia knew the man. He was also her bus driver. “Hey Louie! Already finished with the route?” She asked jumping on her pink skate board with of course, DBZ stickers decorated all over it.

“Yeah, now I get the happy duty of cleaning up!” He laughed. “Take care Alicia!” He said waving as she skated off. Alicia waved back as she turned around a corner.

A minute into her trip, the wind started to pick up and in the distance it looked like some thunder clouds were rolling in.

“Hope I get home before it starts raining.” She said to herself. As soon as she hit the side walk on the other side of the road, she really poured on the speed.

Five minutes later...

She wasn’t going to make it home. It was already starting to drizzle and she was only half way home. Then she remembered that Jason’s house was coming up. A guy she had a major crush on. She came upon his house and saw him through his window doing something.

“Hey Jason!” She called trying to get his attention. He heard her and turned to look outside. She waved at him and was surprised to see him wave back. A few seconds later, the front door opened.

“Hey Alicia! Are you just getting out of school?” He asked as he came skipping out his front door. Alicia smiled.

“Yeah, I got detention again.” She said kicking a rock into the road. A car flew past and ran over it. “Cool.” She mumbled to herself. The rock was flattened.

“Looks like it’s gonna start raining. Ya wonna come inside?” He asked stopping in front of her. Alicia nodded. She really didn’t have to rush home. If Christina recorded her show, then she could always see it later. This would also give her a chance to get to know him a little bit better.

“Um sure, OK! Let me use your phone though first so that I can let my mom know where I’ll be. If I don’t, she’ll worry.” She said picking her skate board up. Jason noticed her DBZ stickers and smiled.

“Hey cool stickers! Can I see em?” He asked holding his hands out. Alicia smiled and gladly handed him her skate board.

“Sure! I have a whole bunch more at home.” Jason traced his fingers over the pictures and whistled.

“Cool! Hey, did you see todays episode?” He asked admiring the pictures still.

“No silly! Remember, I had detention! Like duhh!” She shouted hitting her head. Jason blushed with embarrassment.

“Hehe... Oh yeah! Sorry.” He said laughing. Alicia laughed too. He couldn’t believe it. He sounded just like Goku! No wonder she had a crush on him.

“Oh hi mom!” He called waving at his mom who was standing on the porch. Alicia looked up at his mom and waved. She smiled at them.

“Hi Mrs. Johnson! Is it OK if I borrow your phone? It’s gonna start raining any minute and I need to call my mom to let her know where I’ll be.” They were now standing on the front porch and it was starting to really pour. Jason’s mom smiled and opened the door for them quickly ushering them inside out of the rain.

“Of course honey, go right ahead and use it. I saw you outside and was going to come out and invite you inside anyway. You don’t need to be skate boarding around in the rain. You’ll make yourself sick.” She said cheerily.

Mrs. Johnson reminded her of Bulma’s mother. She laughed to herself and picked up the phone in the hallway. After a few rings, her mother picked up the phone.

“Hi mom! I’m going to be staying over at Jason’s house until it stops raining OK?” A long pause. Alicia smiled and gave Jason and his mom a thumbs up sign.

“OK, I love you too mom! See ya later!” She said happily and hung up the phone. Mrs. Johnson clapped her hands together with excitement.

“Oh this is exciting! We have a guest! Please come sit down in the living room and take off your shoes. I’ll bake you guys some cookies!” She said excitedly.

Jason rubbed his head a little embarrassed but Alicia thought it was really sweet what Mrs. Johnson was doing. Her mom never baked cookies for any of her friends when they came over. Jason was lucky.

He grabbed her arms and stopped her before she could go into the living room. “Wait right there! I wonna go get you something.” He said running into the kitchen after his mother. Alicia wondered why he was suddenly acting so weird. What on Earth was he getting her?

Just then he came running out of the kitchen with a two Pepsies in his hands. He stopped in front of her almost out of breath and handed it to her.

“I’ve always wanted to do that.” He said grinning. Alicia didn’t know what he was talking about at first but then he explained it to her.

“You know, that Pepsie commercial with Michael J Fox?” He asked waiting for some sort of response. Alicia stood there for a moment trying to remember and then it hit her. She smiled and started to laugh.

“HAHAHAHA!!! Oh Jason, your so funny! That was really sweet of you, thank you.” She stopped laughing and popped open her soda. Jason continued to blush as she gulped her soda down. She noticed he wasn’t drinking his.

“Aren’t you going to drink yours?” She asked. He nodded his head, quickly opened his soda and took a giant gulp. Alicia busted out laughing again and he nearly snorted up his soda.

“Come on, *gasp* let’s go sit down and watch TV.” She said pulling at his arm. He let her lead him into the living room where they both sat down on the couch there.

They both set their drinks down and stared at the TV. “Um, any good shows on?” She asked looking over at him. He shrugged and picked up the remote sitting on the table next to him.

“I think Tenshi Muyo is on.” He said turning it to cartoon network.

“Hey yeah! That sounds good! Let’s watch that!” Alicia shouted. So, they started to watch Tenshi Muyo.

Fifteen minutes later...

Jason’s mother walked into the living room carrying a large tray off sugar cookies. “Hey would any of you guys like a cookie?” She asked holding up a big platter out to where they could see them.

Both Alicia and Jason jumped up from the couch and nearly tacked his mom.

“Whoa, OK! Wait just a minute! Here let me put these right here on the table. That way, I wont be trampled on.” She said setting the tray down and laughing.

The cookies smelled really good and Alicia’s mouth started to water in anticipation. She quickly ate a cookie and grabbed for another.

“These are delicious!” Jason’s mother giggled.

“I’m glad you like them. Have as many as you like. I made them for you and Jason.” She said proudly and then headed back off into the kitchen wearing her cute little piggy cooking bib.

“Thank you Mrs. Johnson.” Alicia called stuffing her face with more cookies.

Jason blushed as he watched her eat. She reminded him of Serena and Goku put together.

“Well, if there are any left, I think I’ll have another one.” He said eyeing Alicia. Alicia covered her mouth and quickly swallowed her cookies.

“Oh Jason, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to pig out like that!” She said embaressed but Jason just laughed.

“It’s OK Alicia. My mom makes some really good cookies. If she didn’t make them all the time for me and my other buddies, I’d pig out on them too.” He said trying to make her feel better. Alicia smiled.

An hour later...

Alicia finished off her two cookies and stared at the TV bored. Batman was on now and she didn’t much care for it. At the corner of her eye, she noticed Jason looking at her.

Suddenly he stood up and walked up to her. “Hey I’ve got a great idea!” He exclaimed holding his hand out for her to take. She shyly took his hand and he pulled her up next to him. Rather closely to him she noticed.

“What idea would that be?” She asked in a daze. After they stared into each others eyes for a few seconds, he finally snapped out of his daze and looked down at his her hand in his.

“Um, um, there’s this cool shop just down the street from here that sales all sorts of little weird things. Last time I walked by it, I saw something in the window but I didn’t have any money. I have a little bit of money now and I would really like to go check it out.”

He reached into his pocked with his free hand and pulled out ten bucks.

“Would you like to come with me?” He asked squeezing her hands gently. “I’ll buy you something really pretty if you like?”

Alicia blushed and looked up into his eyes again. *sigh* “Sure...” She sighed. He smiled brightly and suddenly pulled her with him to the front door. She barely kept herself from falling on her face.

“Where are you two going?” His mother asked from the kitchen.

“Well be right back mom! Just going to that new store that opened up down the street!” He yelled pulling Alicia out the door.

“OK! Don’t be gone too long! I have to take Alicia home in a little while now that it’s stopped raining!”

“OK mom!” He yelled shutting the door behind them. It had stopped raining and the sky was all clear now accept for a few clouds off in the south.

“Hey look Alicia!” He said pointing to the sky.

Alicia looked where he was pointing and gasped. “Cool! A rainbow!”

Before she realized what was happened he had pulled her into an embrace. They stood like that a while just admiring the rainbow. A little while later Jason gently pulled away and sighed deeply.

“Smell that air! I love the way it smells right after a rain storm.” He said taking another deep breath. Alicia also took a deep breath and felt totally at peace. She looked over at Jason and admired his face. Jason turned his face and looked at her. She smiled and he smiled.

“Let’s go check out that store before they close!” Jason suddenly announced grabbing her hand once again. A few minutes later, they stood in front of the store.

“Isn’t this place cool or what! Let’s check it out!” He said pulling her inside.

The second they walked in, they were assaulted by all kinds of exotic smells. The shelves were lined with weird herbs and potions? That’s what they looked like. Jason lead her down an ile with all sorts of really strange things. He stopped in front of a shelf with what looked like to be a bunch of jewelry. He knew what he was looking for and immediately found it. It was a ring and it had a red ruby on it. He handed the ring to her.

“You want this?” He asked her. Alicia studied the ring and searched for a price but couldn’t find one.

“Um, are you sure? How much is it? Didn’t you want to get something?” She asked. He nodded his head and took the ring form her placing it on her finger instead.

“Yeah I’m sure. Hey look! It fits perfect!” He said happily. Alicia grinned and gave him a hug.

“It’s very pretty Jason, thank you.” She gave him a quick little peck on his cheek causing him to blush furiously.

They walked up to the counter where an old guy sat in an old rusty chair. “Um excuse me sir?” Jason asked getting the old mans attention. The old man jerked like he’d just woken up and stood on two very unsteady feet.

Alicia worried he was gonna fall over and die because of the way he looked, so old and fragile. He slowly made his way to the cash register and smiled at his two young customers.

“What can I do for ya today?” He asked putting on his glasses with shaky hands. Jason glanced down at Alicia and Alicia shrugged her shoulders.

“Um, we’d like to buy this ring please.” He said. The old man looked at the ring on Alicia’s finger and frowned. Before Jason could say anything else the old man started to talk.

“I’m sorry but that particular ring is not for sale.” He said shaking his head. Jason stared at the old man like he was nuts.

“What? What do you mean? It was over there with the other jewelry.” Jason said back but the old man kept shaking his head.

“I’m sorry but you can not buy that ring! That ring is very special and very dangerous if not used properly.”

Alicia and Jason looked at each other and then stared at the old man. “Um, what do you mean it’s dangerous?” Alicia asked a little worried. If it was poisonous or something she didn’t want to be wearing it. She quickly slid it off her finger and set it down on the counter. Jason grabbed it however before the old man could and laid down all his money on the table.

“How much do you want for it?” He asked determined to still buy the ring. The old man shook his head and looked up at the stubborn young man.

“I don’t know how it got out there with the other stuff, but this ring IS NOT for sale. Please, give it to me.” The stores owner asked holding his hand out but Jason wasn’t about to give up. Alicia grabbed his arm and tried to get him to back down but he wouldn’t listen to her.

“Listen old man, I have a hundred bucks here. Will that be enough for you?” Jason asked pulling more money out of his pocket. Alicia was stunned. He had a hundred dollars and he was willing to blow it all on a stupid little ring just for her?!

“Jason, hehe, it’s OK really. I don’t need the ring. I don’t want you spending so much money on something that obviously isn’t worth so much.” She said tugging at his arm.

“Alicia, I really want to get it for you! I know there’s something special about this ring if he doesn’t want to sale it to us.” He whispered to her.

Alicia shook her head. “I don’t care. I don’t want it. Not if it’s dangerous! You don’t have to spend all your hard earned money on something for me, really! I’m really flattered that you would get something like it for me but really, you don’t have to get it.” She said almost begging.

The old man cleared his throat and he actually looked mad? “It would be truly foolish to buy this ring. It hold many powers! It would be too much for you to handle!” He said leaning over the counter getting up into Jason’s face. His breath was horrible.

“This ring,” he said pointing to the ring in Jason’s hand, “can transport you to any where you want to go!” His eyes grew really wide as he said this. It sent shivers down Alicia’s spin and she was becoming frightened.

“This ring has the power to send who ever wears it into what ever world they wish! What ever world they imagine up! SORRY! But you CAN NOT buy this ring!” He said practically roaring with fury and snatched the ring so quickly from Jason’s hand, Jason didn’t have to time to react.

Jason backed off and Alicia clung to his side shaking slightly. The old man placed the ring in his pocked and cleared his throat. After a moment he began to speak again in a much calmer tone.

“Is there anything else you would like to purchase?” He asked calmly. Both Alicia and Jason were speechless. After a moment however Jason found his voice again. Something didn’t sound right in the way he was speaking.

“Um, yeah I’d like to see some of your other rings please.” He said. The old man nodded and lead them to the same spot they found THE ring.

“Here they are. If you find anything you like, please let me know and I’ll ring it up for you.” The old man said and left.

Alicia stared at the old man as he walked off. “That guy was scary.” She whispered to Jason. Jason nodded and took her hand.

“Come on, lets get out of here.” He said pulling her towards the exit. Alicia looked at his surprised.

“What?! I thought you wanted to get me a ring or something!” He just grunted and lead her outside. The old man waved at them as they left. Weird...

“Why didn’t you buy anything?” Alicia asked once they were outside. he lead her around to the other side of the building and when they were far enough away, pulled something out of his pocket. He held it up for her to see. Alicia’s mouth dropped open.

“That’s the ring that creepy old guy wouldn’t let you buy! How did you get it? I saw him take it away from you!” He pulled her behind a tree and they sat down on a bench there.

“I took it out of his pocket when he wasn’t paying attention and replaced it with another ring that looked like it.” He whispered and laughed. Alicia wasn’t laughing though. She was upset.

“How could you do that? Didn’t you hear anything that guy said? That thing is dangerous! No telling what’s wrong with it!” Alicia said beginning to panic. Jason grabbed her hand to calm her and pulled her back down beside him on the bench.

Alicia, that guy was just a crazy old coot! this ring is NOT dangerous trust me! He said softly stroking her face with his hand. He brought the ring up and slid it onto her finger. She stared at the ring, still afraid of it.

“But, he said that it held some kind of special power and that it could send us to another world or something!” Jason laughed and hugged her.

“Don’t tell me you actually believed that crazy old fool! What he said, was completely crazy! This is just a ring.” He rubbed the ring clean with his shirt and held onto her hand.

“I want this ring to sort of, well,” he paused in thought and then continued. “I want this ring to represent my love for you.” Alicia was so happy that she completely forgot about what the old man had said. She didn’t know what to say so she just leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. He blinked once and then kissed her back. They sat like that for a while, deep in their kiss when they heard an old man shouting. They broke their kiss and looked over to where the shouting was coming form. It was the old man that they had stolen the ring form and he was frantically looking around for the kids responsible. Them.

“Uh oh, we’d better go.” Jason said pulling Alicia up next to him. they were extra careful to walk far away from the old man. A few minutes later, they were back at his house. His mother was waiting for them in the living room.

“Alicia, your mother just called and wants you to come home before it gets dark.” Alicia thanked Mrs. Johnson. She offered to take Alicia home but Jason wanted to so she let him.

Later outside her house...j

“Well, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow at school, OK?” He said leaning closer to her. She leaned in to meet him and kissed him. “Hmmmm, I guess this means were boy friend and girl friend now.” Alicia said pulling away. Jason smiled and touched her face.

“Yeah, I guess so...” They locked eyes again and reluctantly Alicia got out of the car. It was starting to sprinkle again so she ran up to her front door and stood there under the little porch. She waved and he drove away. She sighed dreamily to herself and watched him until he was out of sight.

“Alicia? Is that you?” her mother called from inside the house.

“Yes mom, it’s me!” She shouted opening the door. When she opened the door, she immediately smelled the shrimp Creo her mother had made. Her stomach grumbled. She had no idea how hungry she had been until now. She quickly threw her book and stuff onto the couch and ran into the kitchen where dinner was waiting for her.

“Oh boy! Shrimp Creo! My favorite!” Alicia shouted jumping into a chair at the table. Her mother came around and handed her a plate of food.

“Oh and by the way, Christina called.” She said.

“Oh no! I forgot all about Christina! I told her that I was gonna come over to her house today after school! She got up and ran to the telephone.

“Alicia, eat your food first before you call Christina.” her mother shouted.

“It will only take a minute mom!” Alicia’s mother shook her head and sighed giving up.

“Fine, but don’t be on long er than five minutes!” Alicia smiled. She usually only allowed her three minuets on the phone when ever she wanted her to do something else like eat dinner. She dialed her friends number and waited for her friend to pick up. At the other end she heard some one answer the phone.

Christina: Hello, you’ve reached me, Christina, but I’m not in right now. Please leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!” Alicia: Christina, I know it’s really you.” Christina: Oh it’s you! Hi girl friend! I’ve been waiting for you all day. I recorded Dragonball Z for ya!” Alicia: That’s great Christina! I really wonna see it! Christina: Did you tell your mom about your detention? Alicia: Are you nuts?! No way! Christina: What? Why not? I get detention all the time and my mom doesn’t do anything that drastic. Alicia: Yeah well that’s you! My mom and dad would ground me for a year and I wouldn’t be able to watch TV for a month. That means no Dragonball Z for a VERY LONG time! Christina: Wow! Your mom’s strict! So, where have you been? I know you haven’t been in detention this long! Alicia: *silence* Christina: Alicia? You still there? Alicia: Yeah, I’m here. Christina: So, where were you? Alicia: Your so nosy! Christina: Oh, your hiding something from me! I just know it! Alicia: I really have no idea what your talking about! Christina: Yes you do! OK! Spill the beans! What guys house were you at? Alicia: Christina! I’m shocked! Shocked that you would think such a thing! Christina: yeah? Well I know better Alicia! I know when your lying to me and your lying to me right now! So which guy is it? Josh? Jason? Alicia: *Silence* Christina: Oh my Gosh! It’s Jason Isn’t it?! I don’t believe it! Alicia: Hey, I gotta go Christina! My mom only gave me a few minutes on the phone. I gotta go eat! Christina: Your just using that as an excuse! Alicia: Christina! I gotta go for real! I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow! Christina: I KNEW IT!! YOU WERE WITH JASON!! Alicia: If you tell anything!! Christina: My lips are sealed! Zip! Nadda! But you better tell me all about it in school tomorrow! Alicia: OK! BYE! *SLAM*

“Alicia honey, is everything OK?” her mother asked coming up behind her. Alicia just shook her head.

“Oh nothing mom, Christina’s just being paranoid again.” Her mother nodded in understanding. She knew how ditzie and crazy her friend Christina could be but she was still a good friend.

“OK honey, come and eat diner now before it gets cold.” She said returning to the kitchen. Alicia gladly followed her and sat down at the table to eat. No one noticed but the ring on her finger started to glow faintly.

The next day at school...

Alica groaned as her friend Christina came running up to her.

“Ok, tell me all about it!” She said grabbing onto her arm like a leech. Alicia wished she had never called her back last night. Just then, Jason came walking around the corner. He stopped when he saw Alicia and smiled. Christina next to her smiled.

“Ewwwieee! Looks like your new sweetie is here!” She said nudging her friend in the ribs. Christina rolled her eyes at her best friend and pushed away from her. She walked up to Jason and they stopped at stared at each other. Christina couldn’t budge from her spot. She had to see this!

“Hi Alicia.” He said.

“Hi.” She said shyly.

“I noticed your wearing our ring.” He said looking down at her hand. She rubbed the hand he was looking at and blushed.

“Yeah, it’s very beautiful. Thank you. I just hope you don’t get in trouble for taking it from that old guy.” She said laughing softly. His eyes also softened and he smiled.

“Don’t worry about it.” He said and to the complete shock of everyone around he leaned in and kissed her. She was shocked at first that he would do this in school but soon found herself melting into his kiss. Christina started cheering and whisling and everybody else stopped and stared, making ewwww and ahhhhhh sounds.

“I’ll see you later at lunch.” He whispered seductivly in her ear before turning around and leaving.

“She fell back against the lockers and sighed. Christina ran up to her and stared at her friends with her arms crossed.

“Looks to me like a lot more happened than I thought!” She said giggling. Alicia grabbed her anoying friend and dragged her into their next class that they had together.

Alicia told Christina all about what happened and Christina made sure to tell every one else. They met at lunch as planned and planned to meet again after school. By now, the whole school knew that they were now a ‘couple’.

After school...

Alicia waited with Christina for Jason to show up but he never came. Alica was pretty upset and started to cry.

“Don’t worry Alicia, I’m sure he had a perfectly good reason for not showing up.” Christina soothed patting her friend on the back. Alicia got up off the little brick wall they were sitting on and started walking home. Christina followed her silently.

Suddenly Alicia stopped almost causing Christina to crash into her from behind. Christina looked up at her friend and saw her face filled with shock. She followed her gaze across the street to where she was looking and her mouth fell open in shock as well.

“Why that back stabbing, low life, scum sucking, cheating BASTART!!” Christina screamed. Across the street, Jason was talking with another girl and it looked like they were flirting.

Alicia took off running and crying. She was crying so hard she didn’t notice the car driving down the road straight at her.

“ALICIA! LOOK OUT!!” Christina screamed running at her friend. The person in the car slammed on his breaks but the car continued to fly straight ahead. Just at the last moment, Christina pushed her and herself out of the way just as the car flew past. Both Alicia and Christina fell on the ground hard but they were ok.

Jason ran up to them both with that girl beside him.

“Alica! Christina! Are you guys ok?! Damn that was too close!!” He said in a very shaky voice. Christina and Alicia just sat there too stunned to move. Jason helped them both up and a paramedic ran up to them whom just happened to be standing by when it happened.

“Is everyone ok?” He asked helping them up as well. Christina nodded and looked at Alicia. Alicia nodded too and started to walk off. The paramedic didn’t try to stop him because he was already heading towards the driver who was still sitting in his car stunned.

“Wait Alicia! Talk to me! Are you ok?!” Jason asked running up next to her. She tried to ignore him but he kept pestering him so she stopped and turned to face him. He looked at her totally confused and worried.

*SLAP!!*

Christina cringed a little but nodded her head in aproval. Jason just stood there stunned and he held his now red cheek. He stared at Alicia in disbelief. Alicia turned around and stormed off without saying a word. She was too pissed to speak to him right now.

Jason turned to Christina questionably. “What the hell was that all about?!” He asked. Christina grunted.

“You diserved it you bastard!” She said and left him standing there in shock.

Later in Alicia’s bedroom...

Christina peeked into Alicia’s room. She was laying down in bed with music blaring from her stero. She slowly opened the door and let herself in. She sat down at the end of Alicia’s bed and sighed. Alica continued to ignore her.

“Alicia, please talk to me.” She said above the loud music. Alicia didn’t say anything.

“PLEAE TALK TO ME!” She shouted. This got a response but not a nice one. Alicia’s eyes snapped open and she glared at her friend.

“Get out of my room! I want to be alone!” She yelled.

“I’m not leaving until you talk to me! Your mom’s worried about you and she wanted me to talk to you too!” She said trying to talk some sense into her friend. She was mad at Jason too but this wasn’t going to make it better. Shutting everyone out like this.

She sat up in bed and turned off the stero. Finally, she’s going to talk. Alicia sighed and sat up hanging her feet over the side of the bed. Christina waited patiently for her friend to start.

“He really broke my heart today.” Alicia whispered. Christina nodded sadly and rubbed her friends shoulder.

“I know, guys can be total jerks like that some times, but you can’t let that get you down! You much better than him. You can easily find another guy.” She said remembering the break up she herself had just had with the once guy of her dreams. Alicia sighed and looked at her friend.

“I’m sorry I was being such a jerk just now. I’m just really upset, that’s all.” She said looking outside her window at the blue sky. As she stared out at the sky she began to imagine what it would be like to fly up in those fluffy white clouds. Then she started to think about DBZ. How she would love to meet a guy like Goku. Strong, supportive, faithfull...

She dropped her gaze to the floor again and then looked over at her friend. They did not notice but as soon as she started to wish those things, her rings started to glow again.

“Christina, wouldn’t you like to meet a guy like Goku?” She asked sadly. Christina laughed.

“Guy’s like that don’t exist sweet heart! Believe me. All guys have on their minds around here, is sex!”

Alicia stared at her friend and grinned. Christina grinned back. Before they knew it, they were both laughing histerically and rolling around on the ground.

“Hey! Wouldn’t it be cool to be Chichi for a while? I mean, she’s got the coolest husband in the world!” Christina said still laughing hard. Alicia smiled and nodded.

“Yeah! I wish I were Chichi!” They both busted out laughing again. Suddenly, the ring on Alicia’s finger exploded in light. Both Alicia and Christina stopped laughing and stared at her ring.

“What the heck!?” Christina shouted. Alicia began to freak out and tried to take the ring off but it wouldn’t budge.

“I CAN’T GET IT OFF!! AHHHH! THE OLD MAN WAS RIGHT!!! I’M GOING TO DIE!!!” She screamed holding her hand and staring at it in terror. The only thing Christina could do was jump around like an idiot and shout, “Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

Suddenly all the lights over loaded in the house and exploded. Alicia and Christina screamed in horror! Next her stero system exploded and the CD inside it flew out across the room and sliced itself into her wall.

“AHHHH! Make it stop!!” Alicia screamed shaking her hand frantically. Just then, a surge of energy shot through her body. She looked at her friend one last time and then that was the last thing she remembered before blacking out.

A little while later some place only in our imaginations...

Alicia woke up. Her head was throbbing with pain and she graoned forcing herself to sit up. She stumbled around in the dark and finally found the door way to her bath room. She felt for the switch and found it a second later. She flipped the light on and shut her eyes against the sudden brightness. After a moment her eyes ajusted and she made her way to the sink where she washed her face. It felt good to have the warm water on her face.

“Ohhhh, what happened to me?” She groaned whiping her face with a towl that she grabbed off the towl rack.

I feel like I have a major hang over or something. Shi* ! What did Christina and me do last night? Drink ourselves silly? She thought rubbing her head. Slowly, she set the towl down on the toilet seat and noticed something strange.

“Hmmm, did mom change to toilet seat cover?” She asked herself. Instead of a fluffy blue cover there was a pink one. Oh well, like I give a damn... She thought looking up into her mirror.

She froze and stared at the stranger in the mirror. She closed her eyes and shook her head. “Alicia, you have a hang over BAD... Your seeing other people in the mirror.” She mumbled to herself. Just then a man appeard in the bathroom door behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Morning hon! What’s for breakfast?!” He asked cheerfuly. Alicia nearly fell over as she stared up at the man before her. Her eyes widened like saucers and she spun back around to look at her reflection in the mirror.

“OH MY GOD...” She whispered and fainted.

TO BE CONTINUED??

Well, what do you guys thing? Should I continue it?
