Author's Notes: Owkay, so Krillin is like my fav character, cuz he's silly
and sweet, and the fact that DBZ doesn't show how Krillin and 18 got
together really pisses me off, and the fics on them I read didn't quite
satisfy me, so here's my version of the story, hope you like it. Ow yeah,
though this story is in English, I'm not. I've never been to England,
America, or any other English speaking country for that matter, so don't
blame me if you find any mistakes, cuz I'm just a dumb 18 y/o Dutch girl
who's doing her best to get good grades in English class.

His bald head was shining in the moonlight as Krillin sat down at the beach and took off his boots. He couldn't sleep that night and had decided to take a swim. He didn't know why, he didn't even really like swimming. He threw his clothes aside and ran up to the water, wearing only his teddybear boxers, the ones he once got from Maron. Carefully he tipped his toes into the water, and quickly drew them back. "Man, that's cold", he said to himself. He looked back over his shoulder at Kame House, as if he wanted to make sure that nobody heard him. "Aw, what the heck, it'll do me good!", he said, and plunged in. He took a few strokes away from the shore, then laid on his back, floating on the calm waves. It gave him some time to think about things. Things involving a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed artificial being. Krillin sighed. "Of all the girls in the world, it has to be a coldhearted android." He looked at the stars. "Coldhearted.", he repeated. "She did thank me though." He was thinking about what had happened at Kami's Lookout a week ago. About how he had wished for the bomb being removed from the androids body. And she didn't even seem to appreciate it. "But she did say it was nice of me before she took off!", he thought hopefully. He missed her. "Aw, who am I kidding", he sighed. "She's an android, she doesn't love me, she probably doesn't have any feelings at all." He noticed that the tide had taken him too far from the beach. He rose from the water and flew back. "But she DID say it was nice of me! Ow man, this is mind boggling!", he thought as he landed in front of Kame House. He went into the kitchen and got a cold beer from the fridge. Normally he didn't drink, only on special occasions, but he just felt like he needed a beer right now. He looked at the clock. "It's 5 in the morning and I still can't sleep." He closed the door and sat down at the beach again. "I hope Master Roshi is not expecting me to make his breakfast.", he thought as he took a nip from his beer, and listened to the calming sounds the ocean was making.
His beer fell in the sand, as he quickly got up his feet and turned around. "Wha-what are you doing here!?", he stuttered, as he faced Android 18. She stood there, a few feet away from him, arms crossed in front of her chest, her face emotionless, staring at Krillin with her cold blue eyes, making him feel uncomfortable. He slowly backed up, but tripped over his boots that were still laying on the ground. Not showing that this embarrassed him, he got up his feet again, and tried to act cool. "So. what are you doing out here at this time?". "I could ask you the same thing. Shouldn't you be asleep?", she answered with a monotone voice. Krillin raised an eyebrow. "Why do you come here when you expect to find me asleep?". She looked at him for a second, then turned around. "I hope you don't mind if I take a shower.", she said, as she entered Kame House. Krillin raised his arm, wanting to stop her, but no words came out of his mouth. He stood there for a moment, then realized that he had been standing in front of 18 in his stupid teddybear boxers. He slapped his hand into his face. "Shit, I must have looked ridiculous!", he thought, as he put on his clothes. He saw the light in the bathroom was switched on. "Holy shit! I can't believe she's here! She's actually standing naked in my bathroom!" He watched the window for a while, then blushed from his own thoughts. "Alright Krillin, calm down.", he said to himself. He took a deep breath and walked inside. He was watching TV when she entered the room. "Bummer, why'd she have to put her clothes on again.", he thought while he looked at her. A few towels would've done just fine, wouldn't it? "Guess I've got some explaining to do.", she said. Krillin was just figuring out what to say when she spoke again. "Do you have a comb?", she asked, fiddling with her hair. "Wha-? A comb? Do I look like I could use a comb?" She looked at him, irritated by his answer. "Don't you get smart with me!", she yelled at him. Krillin almost fell of the couch from this sudden explosion. "Uh.. a comb. Uh well like, uhm, no we don't have a comb. I mean, like, Master Roshi's got a beard and all but." Before he could finish his sentence 18 walked out of the room. "That's just great.", she mumbled, and took off. Krillin ran outside, almost tripping over the table. "Wait!!" But she had already disappeared. He stood there for a while, watching the sky, hoping that she would come back. "You stupid jerk", he said and grit his teeth. "You blew it again! And don't count on her coming back this time!" In his anger, he kicked a palmtree into the ocean. He watched it as it kept floating for a while, then sunk. He felt as if it were his heart there, sinking to the bottom. He dropped himself into the sand, put his elbows on his knees and rested his head on his hands. A couple of minutes later, she returned though. She landed right next to him. "Now you do have a comb.", she said, and threw it at a surprised Krillin. He looked at it as if he had never seen a comb before. "Where did you get it?", he asked. "It doesn't matter.", she replied as she ran her fingers through her combed hair. She sat down beside him and looked at the horizon. "So.", she spoke, "you're probably wondering why I'm here." "Uh.. well yeah. Kinda.", Krillin replied. Looking at the sun that started to rise above the ocean, she continued. "I've been wandering around that last couple of days. I don't have anywhere to go. And since you helped me out and stuff I figured I could stay here. So here I am." Krillins mouth almost dropped to the ground. She was actually planning to stay here!?! To live with him?!? This was too good to be true. "So what have you been doing all this time?", he asked. "That's none of your business!", she replied and got up. She watched the sun for a moment, and let the cool ocean breeze run through her hair. "It's actually a pretty nice sight.", she said, referring to the sunrise. "Wha-? Uhh yeah.", Krillin answered, snapping out of his daydream. "I really love it. Every now and then I get up early to watch it." "Hmpf.", she said, walking back to Kame House. "I saw you have an extra bed in one of the rooms.", she said, standing on the doorstep. "Uhh yeah", Krillin answered, "that's the guestroom. We often have friends staying here for the night." "Good.", she smiled, and went inside. Krillin kept staring at the doorway. Suddenly she stuck her head out. "Goodnight.", she smirked. Krillins head turned red instantly. "Good-Goodnight.", he stuttered.
