What Are Feelings?
Chapter 2: Confrontation
'Why is he wherever I am? And with that kid?' 18 thought. He didn't seem to notice her, but he was getting closer and closer to her. She started to tense up a bit. She is an android. Why does she feel this way whenever he is around her?
Krillin didn't notice 18 was there until she was right in front of him.
'Great, meet her at the place where I never expected to find her', Krillin sarcastically thought. Gohan was staring at a rather large piece of ham before he noticed Krillin blushing and getting tense.
"Krillin, why are you-". He stopped mid-sentence when he realized who else was blushing. She turned her head and hoped Krillin didn't notice, but Gohan did and he plastered on a devilish smile. He knew what he had to do: bring these two together.
"Uh, h-hi 18", Krillin stuttered. He wasn't exactly sure why she was in such a public place.
"Hi", she replied. 'He has hair now?'
"What happened to your head?" she asked.
'Oh no', he thought, 'if Goten put something on my - oh, she must mean my hair.'
"I used to keep it well waxed," he explained, "but since I gave up fighting I just let it grow out."
"Well, I think the look suits you," said 18, feeling bold.
Gohan felt quite proud of himself. This was going well for him, playing his role of Cupid. He felt like he should tie the knot.
'This'll definitely work!" thought Gohan.
"It's obvious that you two 'like' each other", said Gohan, "so why don't you two go out on a date?"
During the time he was explaining, both of them were blushing profusely.
'He's done it now', Krillin thought.
"So, would you?", Gohan asked 18.
18 thought it over for a moment.
"Yes", she replied, "I would."
"Great! How about you guys meet up in the city for dinner?" Gohan suggested.
"Sure, why not", they said in unison. Krillin blushed. And noticing how easy it is for him to blush, 18 blushed as well.
She gave Krillin a kiss and walked out of the store.
"What just happened?" Krillin asked.
"I just played Cupid and got you a date" he said proudly.
"Yup, your Goku's son alright," he said, "you get women so easily, yet for other people".
'I must have a certain charm', thought Gohan.
17 was shuffling through a deck of cards when 18 walked in and sped to her room.
'What's she up to?' he thought, 'I guess I should ask her'.
When he walked in, 18 was busy trying to decide what clothes to wear.
"What are you so happy about?" asked 17.
18 thought about her answer.
'Should I just tell him the truth?' she thought. She tried to think of the possible reactions he might have, from being overjoyed she'd found someone, or being overcome with rage and trying to chop Krillin's head off.
'Judging by my brother's temper, I guess he'd do the latter', she thought.
"I'm just going out" she said.
"Where to, and with who?" he questioned. He figured that since she's so focused on what to wear, it would be a date of some ilk.
"Into the city, by myself", she replied.
"Why?", he questioned further. He was going to find out what she was up to if it was the next 10 minutes of his life. He wouldn't want it to be the last thing he'd do, there are so many things he's never done.
'He can be a real pain in the ass', she thought.
"Because I want to", she said impatiently. She ushered him out of her room and slammed the door in his face.
'What's her problem', he thought.
Master Roshi and Oolong were watching their "programming", so to speak. Krillin was beaming, and they were curious as to why.
"Why are you so happy today?" asked Oolong in his gruff voice.
"Oh, no reason, just that Gohan got me a date", Krillin replied, rather blasé.
"I didn't know he was such a ladies man", Oolong said.
"Just like his father", Roshi said, remembering the mermaid Goku had brought him once.
"Yeah, well, I've got a date tomorrow night with the most amazing woman in the world", said Krillin, "thanks to Gohan. I guess I owe him one now."
He sauntered up to his room, humming what seemed to be a very enthusiastic song.
Both of them were left in amazement. He really found someone.
"Hopefully, this doesn't end up like his relationship with Maron", said Roshi.
"I knew it wouldn't last from the start", said Oolong.
Chi-Chi was still wondering why Krillin had gone off so happy after dealing with Goten.
"Gohan, do you know what's up with Krillin?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, I got him a date with Android 18!" Gohan replied as jubilantly as he could, even though he was exhausted.
"You what?" Chi-Chi replied, still unknown to the fact she's not terrorizing the planet anymore. She immediately cupped her mouth, because she knew her outburst may have waken Goten, who Gohan managed to get to sleep before Krillin left.
"Don't worry mom, she's not evil anymore. At least, I don't think she is", Gohan said, "and I think they really like each other." He proceeded to yawn loudly.
"I hope you're right, because I'm not going to deal with yet another death" said Ch-Chi.
They then heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" they asked.
"It's Tien! And Chiaoutzu! And Launch!" came the reply.
'Oh boy', Gohan thought, 'visitors.'
