Watching Her Fly Away (Krillin & Number 18)
"There she goes," Krillin thought as he watched Number 18 take to the sky. He stood and stared until he could no longer see any trace of her, then sat down and rested his chin in his hands.
"Am I destined to be alone for the rest of my life?" he asked himself. "I don't want to believe it, but it seems I am. The only other woman that made me feel this way broke my heart.
"Why do I feel this way for someone I don't even know? Someone who destroyed entire cities, killed probably millions of people...tried to kill my friends? It just doesn't make sense. But whenever I look at her, my heart pounds in my ears and I can't breathe!
"That's why I made the wish. I can let everyone else think what they want, but I just wanted to give her a chance at a normal life. A life where she can live in peace, maybe settle down, possibly have her own family. I just want her to be happy."
Krillen stood and looked up once again to where the blond-haired android had disappeared, and felt an empty hole in his heart. This felt even worse than when Maron left him, and they'd been an actual couple. How could he hurt this bad now?
"I can't stand it!" Krillen thought as he launched himself into the sky. "I'm going to find her!"
