Chapter 5- Camping Catastrophe
Ahhhhhh, I can't get this stupid thing off me!! You know, the dress. I was still gazing at the dress in the mirrior. It is a really cute dress, but stil. I have no idea on how it got on me. Then Victoria came bursting through the door of my room.
"Rochelle! What ever you do, DON'T SING...looks like I'm to late"
"You know what's going ON!!" I basically screamed.
"A yeah. That necklace is pretty pwerful to say the least. Well only if a mermaid..." Victoria's voice trailed off, but I didn't care.
"Well that still doesn't tell me how to get this off me!"
"Oh yeah I forgot, you hate dresses." I gave Victoria a hard glare
"Alright Alright! I'll tell you how to take it off. But first I'm geussing you want to know how that dress got on you," I nodded her way, "Okay, well to start off; that crystal necklace you have on is called the 'Mermaid's Melody' necklace. If a mermaid is to find this necklace, her singing can be turned into a weapon."
"What do you mean?" I was so confused now
"Basically what I am trying to say is that the energy in that necklace will track down any dark energy in a person. If any is found, the necklace will take a hold of that dark energy and use it to paralyze the host. That person's own dark energy is used to paralyze them!" Victoria made it sound slightly more clear, but that still doesn't answer my question.
"I get that," sort of, "But that doesn't explain the dress." i said impatiently
"Okay, I'm getting to that. To put it bluntly, the dress comes with the whole thing. It's part of being a Mermaid Princess aparently."
"AW man I'm stuck with this...WAIT BACK-UP HERE! What did you just say!?" I did I hear what I think I just heard!
"It's part of being a Mermaid Princess." She said that so calmly
"HUH?? I'm a MERMAID PRINCESS!! This isn't happening." I had to sit down. Man this just ani't right!
"Yeah. Only A Mermaid Princess can have any chance of finding that necklace. And..well...You found it."
"That Part I got!" This made no sense. How was this happening? What if the whole world finds about this?!
"Chelle, your going pale. You need to relax." I started to come to my senses
"And how exaclty am I supposed to do that?" Then my necklace began to glow again. The dress vanished and I was back in my old outfit. My grey sweatpants roled down to my hips and my blue and white capsule corp. t-shirt. "Finally, out of that stupid dress!"
"Well, we could go camping!" Tori knew me so well. I love to go camping! Whenever Goku would train Gohan and I, we would go camping in the woods. I always had so much fun.
"I'm good with that, how about on Monday? I have to do some chores for Bulma over the weekend."
"Okay!" We shook on it and then Tori flew home.
I couldn't wait to go camping! I did need a few days away from everyone so I didn't have to worry about anyone finding about, well...you know.
I glanced down at the crystal necklace. Could this small crystal really be a sign of royalty? I mean, it does look somewhat like a regular crystal, but still. You know what, I just need to forget about it for a while. I undid the clasp on the necklace and placed the necklace in the top draw of my dresser. I won't think about the necklace if I can't see it.
~A few days Later~
I was just finishing packing up my bag when I sensed someone coming toward Capsule Corp.; It was Tori. She's early; Oh well, now she can help me pack.
"Hey girly, whats shaken." Tori said as she flew through the window.
"First of all, no one says that. Second of all, Were are we camping anyways?"
"Well, I was thinking we go camping by your training spot. Right in the woods." Was she nuts!
"Are you Nuts! What if Gohan or someone were to come by and see me using my mermaid powers or something. And they would get supsicous and..." Tori cut me off
"Wow, calm down. I already talked to Gohan about it and he said he would call us before he were to come."
"Okay, I think I will live for the next few days." I said hesitantly
"Thats my girl! Now, lets work on what you are bringing!"
We sorted through my clothes for hours. Well, Victoria did; I just sat on my bed while she started randomly throwing clothes everywhere. She grabbed a few swimsuits, t-shirts, sweatpants, and a sweatshirt. Tori brought the tent and I got the sleeping bags. WE WERE READY!
Victoria and I flew for about 45 minutes to reach me and Gohan's training spot. Gohan said he wouldn't be here for the next few days, so I don't have much to worry about; I hope. We landed right next to the lake and walked into the woods. We both wanted to stay within veiw of the lake so we chose a small clearing within about 150 yards of the lake.
"Well, what should we do first?" Victoria asked
"Well, since no one is here; why don't we go swimming?" I suggested
"Okay!"
We both changed into our bathingsuits and went for a swim in the lake. I never knew that there was so much stuff down here! Is, that a boat? Well, looks like you learn something new everyday. Swimming ate up about 4 hours of our time. When we got out and I got dried off, we had to start collecting fire wood. It was starting to get dark out. We needed to go get fire wood.
We got all of the wood we needed for tonight and tomorrow night. I could have just chpped down a tree, but it's more fun to collect fire wood the old fashion way.
" Hey, Tori did you bring the Matches?" I asked her
"No, I thought you brought them!" Troi was sarting to freak out.
"Yo, Tori Relax! I'll just light the fire." I just created a flame at the end of my pointer finger and flicked it at the pile fo fire wood.
"Woah, Chelle the fire is huge!"
"Yike!" I took control of the fire and made it settle down
"Well thats done." I said and leaned back a gainst a tree. Then I heard a someone in the distance and then a twig snap.
"Tori did you hear that?"
Gohan's POV
"Mother, I'm going to the lake, I forgot my phone there."
"Okay, but be quick. Remember, the girls are camping there."
"I will." I have to be quick anyways its already dark out and my Mother does NOT like me being out by the woods after dark. She knows that I can easily fend for myself, but she likes me home when it's after 8:00.
It only took me about 10 minutes to fly out to the lake.
"Now where are you?" I found my phone on a rock about 100 yards from the lake.
"Hey, Tori did you bring the Matches?" I heard someone say, It must be Rochelle.
"No, I thought you brought them!" I heard Victoria scream, she was freaking out. I was going to go over and help them but then I heard;
"Don't worry I'll just light the fire." Rochelle lit a small energy ball above her finger. Wait! thats not energy, that's a fire! Then She flicked it at the wood and then there was a camp fire. The fire got really big. If someone didn't put it out soon; things could get ugly.
"Woah, Chelle the fire is huge!" Victoria screamed
"Yike!" Rochelle put her hand out and the fire died down.
"Well that's done" Rochelle leaned back against the tree and looked like she was going to fall asleep.
"What the!" I stepped back and accidently stepped on a twig. Crap! Rochelle bolted up and looked around.
"Tori, did you hear that?" Busted.
"Gohan, we know your there!" Victoria yelled. Yup, I'm Busted. I walked out from behind the tree I was hiding behind and walked closer to their camp sight.
"Okay, you caught me. I just came to get my phone that I left here earlier. I heard that you guys needed matches and I was going to comeover to help when I saw that you already had things taken care of." I said looking straight at Rochelle. She hugged her knees and tried to bury her face.
"Now that I've explained myself," I kept my eyes on Rochelle, "I think you have some explaining to do Rochelle. So spill!" I might have said harshly. But I had a right; I was upset with her. Rochelle told me everything, up until a few weeks ago. My enregy was begining to spike a little.
"I'll tell you Gohan, I know you're mad at me for not telling you. But your going to have to understand that this is actually hard for me to tell anyone." She kept her head buried in her knees. Rochelle was actually afraid to look at me. That definatley made me sad. I had no Idea that I made her Upset. I knew she wasn't going to say anything If I didn't calm down.
"If your ready for me to start spilling," Rochelle made a motion for me to sit down next to her, so I took the offer, "To put it Bluntly, I can control Earths Elemants. I'm an Elemental and a Saiyan."
"How?" I was so puzzled. And What the heck is an Elemental?
"Honestly, I'm not sure. I found out when you and Tori went to train. I was helping Chi Chi cook. I went to fill up the pot at the fuacet and the water turned on by itself." She explained.
"But then, how did you just light the fire?" Rochelle tensed up.
"How about I just show you." I was slightly shocked. I was going to shown what I had no idea about. It was exciting, yet frightening at the same time. I gave her a small nod. I got up and then offered Rochelle a hand. My face felt hot, and I don't think it's from the camp fire.
I walked behind Rochelle and Victoria was behind me. We came to the lake. I came up right next to Rochelle, but she tensed up even more.
"Gohan, you might want to step back. And I need some light." I nodded and stepped back. I made a small ball of energy in my hand; it made just enough light for us to all see.
"What do you to see first?" Rochelle asked both Victoria and I.
"I'm fine with whatever." Victoria stated and i nodded in agreement.
"Earth it is!" Rochelle stood calmy with her eyes closed. She moved her right foot across the ground. What the heck is she doing? Then Rochelle pulled back her left foot and kicked straight into the ground. There were rocks spurting out of the ground in all directions as a line of agitaited ground was moving directly at me. Then just as the line of earth was about a foot away from me, a peice of earth came from the ground and hit me square in the chest. The force of that blow was emense, it sent me flying into a tree!
"Man, that smarts. What was that for!" I screamed at Rochelle
"That was for spying on us when you could have just grabbed your phone and left." Rochelle said standing infront of me with her hands on her hips. She looked just like Bulma!
"But...Whats the use." Man, I just can't get a break.
"Now that you know this, you can't tell anyone!" Rochelle told me sternly.
"And she means anyone. Not even Chi Chi!" Victoria chimed in.
"Alright!I won't tell anyone!" I threw my hands to surrender.
"Good"
"Well, I have to get home. I'll see you in few days." I told the girls
"See ya soon." Both of them waved to me.
Victoria's POV
"Well, have to get home. I'll see you in a few days." Gohan told us
"See ya soon." Rochelle and I both waved to Gohan as he flew off into the distance. When he was out of view:
"Man, that was to close!" Rochelle just plopped onto her butt.
"Yeah, no joke!" Rochelle said.
"You know, he'll find out someday" I said to Rochelle. Then she looked really upset.
"I know he will. But I just want to hold off a little longer I feel as though something big is about to happen." That caught my interest
"Wh..What do you mean?" I asked hesitantly. I did not want to know what she meant, but I knew I was going ot get pulled into this somehow.
"I mean, we will be facing a new enemy; One from the Ocean."
"Are you sure?" I asked
"Yeah," She was majorly serious, "I'm positive. But I have no idea how strong he is either."
"Then How are we going to stop him/her?" I asked Rochelle
"I'm not sure," Rochelle informed me, "But I think we might meet some people who might."
