The day of Mira's Sixteenth Birthday...
"Hey, Carol!" called Mira.
"Hey, there you are. I was looking for you," said Carol.
"C'mon Mira. We were supposed to go to your house after school," said Krista.
"Yeah, I know," said Mira. "Let's walk until we're out of town. Then we can take off," she said in a softer voice.
Carol grinned. "So, Mira. I hear Dan asked you to be his girlfriend," she said.
Mira shrugged. "Yeah, I turned him down," she said.
"Aww, how come? You could have had a boyfriend," said Krista.
Mira shrugged again. "I didn't feel that way about him," she said.
"So? Nobody ever feels that way about anyone in high school," said Carol.
"Not in high school," muttered Mira.
"What's that supposed to mean?" demaned Krista.
"Nothing," said Mira.
"Ohhh, I get it. Mira has someone else in mind..." said Carol.
"So, who's the guy?" asked Krista.
Mira laughed nervously. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, THAT sounded convincing," said Carol sarcasticly.
"I think I know who Mira has in mind," said Krista evilly.
"Who?" asked Mira and Carol together.
Krista winked. "Well, now that, is a secret!"
"Krista, you have been watching waaaaaaay to much Slayers," muttered Carol.
"And you two don't really know who I like. You're just saying that," said Mira.
"So there is someone!" said Krista.
Mira realized she had slipped. She blushed slightly. "Well, I, Um....."
"Ah ha!" said Krista.
"Tell us who! Please!" they said together. They said please like it had a million letters in it.
Mira sighed. There was someone all right. Someone she'd known since she was six. "Look, I'm not going to tell you, because then you'd tell him, and.... yeah," said Mira.
"Is it someone we know?"
Mira shrugged. "Somewhat," she said. It had been almost a year since they had last seen Piccolo.
"What does that mean?"
"Look, you've met him, okay?" said Mira. Mira noticed that they were pretty far away from the main area of the city, so she and the others took off. Carol and Krista decided to drop the subject, so the three friends talked about school. In about half an hour, they arrived at the Son house. Mira landed as Carol and Kirsta jumped off the Nimbus. Mira opened the door.
"SURPRISE!!" screamed several familiar voices.
Mira jumped back, startled. Then she laughed. "Oh, you guys!" she said. "Thank you."
"Glad you like it," said Carol.
"You knew about this?" asked Mira.
Carol and Krista nodded. Well, just about everyone was at this party. Gohan, Videl, Chichi, Trunks, Goten, Tien, Master Rooshie, Choutzu, Bulma, Vegita (Bluma made him come), Goku, Uubuu, Krillin, 18, Marron, Oolong, Yamcha, and Puar. "Wow, everyone's here," she said smiling. Except Piccolo.
Soon everyone was dancing. Well, everyone except Vegita of course.
"Hey, Mira! You got some cool friends," said Carol.
"Yeah, most of them aren't even human!" said Krista.
Mira shrugged. "Well, I'm not either," she said, laughed.
Gohan heard a knock on the door. Considering how loud the music was, he was probably the only one who heard it. He opened the door, only to find Piccolo standing there.
"Piccolo?" asked Gohan. Then he noticed the roses. "Roses? Red roses?" asked Gohan skeptically.
"Can I talk to Mira?" asked Piccolo.
"Uh, Piccolo? Is there something I should know?" asked Gohan somewhat nervously.
"Just let me talk to Mira," said Piccolo.
"Oooookaaay," said Gohan. "Just a sec," he said, closing the door. He found Mira talking to her friends. "Someone at the door for you," he said.
Mira got up and went to the door. She opened it. "Piccolo!" she said, surprised.
"These are for you," he said, handing her the roses.
Mira held the roses and stared at them. Piccolo was giving her roses? Red roses? Did he know that red meant love? Mira's eyes widened slightly. Was Piccolo in love with her?
Piccolo turned away. Why wasn't Mira saying anything?
Mira flew over to Piccolo and planted a firm kiss on his mouth. He stiffened at first, then relaxed and kissed her back. "I love you," they said at the same time. For a while they looked into each other's eyes. "What are we going to tell the others?" asked Mira.
Well, still not the end. I'm pretty sure the next chapter is going to be the last, although considering Mira hasn't figured out how to break the news to Chichi, it may not be...
