I know my chapters have been short so far. I have taken note and this one will be longer. My friend and writer herself Mariah2 helped me with this chapter. Check out her stories afterwards.

On with the story.....

____________________________________________________________________________ ______

The first rays of morning snuck through the blinds and hit the room giving it a bright glow. It was very early in the morning and the sun had just risen. Krillin was the first one to wake up. He got up, stretched and looked at the bed to see 18 was gone and the clothes she wore originally were gone and the ones she borrowed were in a heap on the floor.

"Wonder why she left so early?' thought Krillin to himself as he went downstairs to see the time. It was 5:36, and the house was real, real quiet. Krillin walked into the kitchen, and looked into the refridgerator.

Then he remembered he left the soda and sandwich in his room and decided to throw it away because it was old. When he got there he saw that the food and soda was gone.

"What a breakfast," mumbled Krillin sarcastically to himself as he took the trash to throw out. He went into the kitchen, and took a apple out of the fridge. He sat at the table eating it. When he finished he decided to start his *early* morning training. He went outside and saw 18 sitting there watching the sun rise.

He walked over and sat down next to her. She seemed deep in thought at the moment, and didn't notice him sit there. He poked her in the arm, and she jumped into a fighting stance and looked at him. When she noticed that it was Krillin she sat right back down, and looked at the ground picking a blade of grass, and throwing it ahead of her. Then she continued to watch the sunrise.

"What do you wan?" she questioned.

"Why are you up so early?" he questioned.

"Its none of your business," 18 said as she continued to watch the sunrise.

The sky was a mixture of pinks, reds, yellows and turning blue. The sun seem to go between them. Krillin laid down on the grass and looked up. The moon was a white cresent high in the sky.

After a while Krillin decided to break the silence by saying, "Hey.....you wanna spar or something?"

"No," she said sharply lying down in the grass. She curled up in sort of like a ball and closed her eyes. She didn't look as if to be sleeping, but thinking.

"Are you going to sleep out here," Krillin questioned.

"So," she said.

"You could go inside and sleep," he said sitting up.

"Go away," she yelled, "I don't need your charity."

"Just trying to help."

After a while 18 opened her eyes. "What happened yesterday?"

"You don't remember?"

"If I knew than I wouldn't be asking you, now would I," 18 shot at him.

Well....."he began, "I found you at the dock and you seemed to not care that you were getting splashed or out in the rain and cold, so I went to see whats wrong. That was when you were getting sick and I tried to help, but you just blasted away the dock. After that I said you could stay with me and you followed." He looked at 18. She was looking at the sky listening. "Halfway to my house you collapsed and I took carried you the rest of the way."

"Why was I wearing your clothes!" she said defensively.

"I changed them so you wouldn't get a cold. I didn't do anything honest. I'm not like that."

"I hope so," she said sitting up.

"Are you sure you don't want to train with me?" he questioned.

"Fine, but afterwards you have to leave me alone," she said standing up.

They sparred for two hours. Krillin thought 18 seemed very strong. When they were done, Krillin fell to the ground and jumped back to his feet.

"Wow, your kinda strong," said Krillin.

"Are we done yet?"she questioned.

"Yeah, i'm gonna go get some breakfast you wanna--" Krillin cut himself off as 18 flew away.......
