It Has been 3 weeks since I was at the magic pool and things have gotten weirder. I have developed the ability to control earths elements! You know like: fire, water, earth, and air. I haven't used them with training yet, but I will soon. Victoria has been helping me with figuring out the in's and out's of my new found abilities. She has the best GPA in science of anyone in my grade and is a wiz at marine biology. So maybe we can get to the bottom of whatever is going on with me.

"I'm Bullet Proof; Nothin' to lose. Fire away; Fire away!" My cell phone was ringing.

"What the hell," I looked over at my alarm clock, "5:00a.m. on a saturday! This better be important." I slowly got up and grogishly walked over to my dresser.

"Hello?" I was still half asleep until:

"ROCHELLE! I HAVE INCREDIBLE NEWS!" I think I might need ear surgery now.

"And this couldn't wait till' the afternoon?" Wait for it.

"NOPE!" There it is. Geez; if she screams any louder, I could hear her from the ocean. "So! I called because I just got a New diving set! Wanna go for a swim?" O boy.

"Uh...I dunno Tori. I mean, I haven't even gone swimming yet!" Good thing that the competitive swimming season is over.

"Oh come on! I'll be by your side the whole time." That helps.

"Ugh, fine! I'll meet you in 10 minutes."

"Yay! Bye." And with that, we both hung up. What did I just get myself into? Well, I am part fish now. So might as well.

I put my phone back on the dresser and went through my bathing suits. I mean, it doesn't matter if I wear a suit or not. I just think it looks more natural. Hmm, which one to wear? I know! I looked through my drawer to find my lucky swim suit. "Aha! There you are!" I pulled out a two piece/bright-green suit with scattered stars all over the top peice and a solid green bottom. There was also a hole for my saiyan tail so it would fit comfortably. I slipped out of my clothes and put on my bathing suit.

I floated down stairs making sure not to wake anyone. I found a note pad and quickly wrote a note and left it on the fridge.

'Dear who ever reads this first,  

I went to the beach with Victoria. I will be back in time for lunch. 

-Rochelle'

I ran out the door and flew to the beach.

"Chelle! Your here!"

"Yeah. Ready to get in?"

"Yup!"

We put our towels on the beach and we ran to the water line. "Wait!" I looked around to make sure no one was here, "okay let's go!" We ran into the water quickly. I don't want to pop a tail before I get to a point were I can swim. But we were just in time. I dove down deep kicking my legs before the turned into a tail. I went down deeper into the slightly chill water. Then I turned towards the surface and flicked my tail hard. I was swimming faster than I ever have! With my long hair flowing behind me, I broke the surface and went about 15ft above the water.

"That was awesome!" Yeah it was wasn't it.

"Hey, lets go scuba diving!" Tori asked

"Okay!"

We dove down about 40 ft under the water. Tori had a flashlight so we could see better. Wow this place is amazing! Hey, whats that? I pointed my finger down towards the ocean floor. I saw a reflection off of something really shiny. Tori shrugged her shoulders. She handed me the flashlight and I swan towards the object. As I got closer, I was able to make it out as some sort of crystal. I plucked the crystal out of the rock it was lodged in.

It was a bluish-green crystal; It remided me of the tropical sea water out in the bahamas. I have never seen anything like it before. Maybe I could make this into a necklace. Hold on, what do we have here? Its already on a chain! Well thats convenient.

I swam back to Tori then we went to the surface. Tori picked me up then she flew us to shore. She helped me get dried off and then we looked over the crystal.

"So, do you think it does anything?" Tori asked.

"I highly doubt it. Someone probably just lost it while they were swimming." Although, one never knows in these parts.

"Yeah I guess. But let me take a picture and I'll search on the internet for anything on that crystal." I held the necklace out in my hand while Tori took a picture. I will admit, it is strange that I have never seen this kind of crystal before. I read a whole book about crystals and diamonds; and not once did I see anything like this. On the other hand, it's really pretty. Good thing its on a chain!

I undid the clasp and put the necklace on. I felt so happy with it on, I'm not sure why though.

"Hey, I gotta get going. I'm training with Vegeta today and I don't plan on making him wait." I told Victoria.

"Yeah that might be a good idea. Bye!" I waved to Victoria and leapt into the air. I observed the crystal all the way back to Capsule Corp.

I sat down on the bed in my room. I kept observing the crystal for who knows how long. It had a very faint glow to it. Along the chain were little crystal flowers the same color as my tail. It really was a very pretty necklace.

I stopped looking at the crystal and grabbed my phone. I was in the mood for singing. I have always loved singing. When ever I was sad, it was my escape into a whole other world. I scrolded through my song list and found one of my favorite songs. I picked "Every Time We Touch" by Cascada.

As the song began to play, reminded me of Gohan. I thought of memories of us together. Then I began to sing along with the song.

"I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me," I felt so happy. I just listened and sung along with the recorded voice playing on the song. My necklace began to glow, but I didn't care. I let myself get lost in the song.

Gohan's POV

"Gohan! Are you doing you Homework!?" My Mother called to me.

"Yeah Mom! I'm almost Finished!"

I have been doing homework for hours now. My mother even needed to shun off Piccolo! and I was really looking foward to training with him today. Well, I geuss I shouldn't be complaining. My mother only wants the best for me. But I am tired.

"I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me," Huh? who said that?

"I still feel your touch in my dreams" Someones singing. I know its not my mother.

"Forgive me my weakness but I don't know why,"But that voice! It sounds so familiar. It can't be!

"Without you it's hard to survive!" It is! It's Rochelle!

"Cause everytime we touch I get this feeling and everytime we kiss, I swear I can fly!" But how? Is she singing to me or am I making it up.

"Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last. Need you by my side" Nope, Not making it up.

How is she singing to me though? Then I see someone who looks like their preforming. Who ever it is, they look like Rochelle, but its not her. Then behind ms. anonymous is memories of Rochelle and I together. Their playong almost like a slide show. As the memories scroll through, I can hear her voice. It's so beautiful. I never knew Rochelle could sing like this!

Then I saw a picture of a mermaid. Wait! a Mermaid!? How does that make any sense!? The mermaid had a long mint green tail with something like anklettes around the bottom of the tail. A seashell headband around her head. Her hair was a long reddish-brown color. Her eyes were the same color as her tail, a beautiful mint green. But there was something familiar about this fishgirl, but I can't put my finger on it. But what does this mean?

Just then, the singing stopped. I came back to reality.

"That was weird." Then I went back to my homework, contimplating what had just happened.

Rochelle's POV

The song ended. Awww I was in the zone. I love that song. It always did remind me of the good times Gohan and I had together.

I looked down at my necklace and it was glowing, but the crystal wasn't in it! Wait, I wasn't wearing a dress a few minutes ago; Or gloves and boots! And I definetly don't remember having a microphone in my hand. What is going on!?

I walked over to my full length mirror. My jaw dropped. I was in a what looked like a preformers dress. The dress is strapless and is basically a short, straight dress; and when I say short I mean short! The thing only covered the top 1/3 of my thighs. It was mostly white with mint green lining. The same color as my tail! I'm starting to think that everything is connected somehow. Anyway, Along the top of the dress is two green peices of fabric with wire in it to hold up the dress. The two peices went all the way around the dress. They met in the middle in the front and curled under in oppisite directions. Their was also a green ruffle that went from top to bottom in the front, on the right. and to top off the dress was a big green bow in the back. The good part was that their was a hole for my tail. Yeah!

The gloves were green with a long ruffled peice of fabric that goes up my arm. The boots were white with a green tinted ruffle that went up my leg the same way the gloves do. And the microphone looked somewhat normal. except for the fact that is was white with a green trim and a place for my crystal. Wait; My Crystal! Yay, I didn't lose it! My eye color changed to a sutle green color and my mermaid head band was on my head. I hope I'm not stuck like this; I am not a big fan of dresses. But it does look cute on me.

But whether ot not it looks cute on me doesn't really matter right now. How do I get this stuff off me!?
