PART 2 Gohan's Girlfriend
Sasami was in her room, looking at the letter Gohan had given
her years ago.
"How come you don't remember, Gohan?" she asked.
Life in the Masaki home was almost like it was years ago. Aeka
and Ryoko didn't fight about Tenchi anymore but they still fought.
And Asahi was a new addition. Everybody didn't look any older
because of Washu's new youth pills. Of course, she got permission
from Jurai to make it and to use it. Tenchi and Hatsuhito didn't
use it though because they were from the Jurai royal family by
blood and never aged or died.
"Sasami, is there something wrong with you?" asked Aeka.
"Nothing at all." replied Sasami.
"You seem so upset most of the time."
"I'm fine, really."
"Well...Are you going to see Gohan again?"
"Probably."
"You used to like him so much."
"I 'used' to."
"Sasami, I know there's something wrong with you. Tell me."
"Well..." Sasami took out a letter and gave it to Aeka.
"This is wonderful!" said Aeka after reading it.
"He forgot all about it..." said Sasami. "He told me he had a
girlfriend already."
"He did?" asked Aeka. Sasami nodded.
"I'm sorry." said Aeka.
"That's alright." said Sasami with tears filling her eyes. Aeka
quietly left, knowing that her sister wanted some time alone.
"Why did you forget?" Sasami whispered while a tear streamed down
her cheek.
"You'll really like her, trust me." said Gohan. Sasami came to
Gohan's house and Videl was too.
"Really?" Sasami asked.
"Yeah. She's the greatest."
"You really like her, huh?"
"Yeah! A lot. To tell the truth, I think I'm starting to fall in
love." Gohan admitted. Sasami's eyes filled with tears as she
heard what he said and started crying.
"What's wrong, Sasami?" Gohan asked.
"Why did you forget?" Sasami said through the tears.
"Forget what?"
"About the letter!"
"What letter?" Sasami looked up. He didn't even remember the
letter. She stood up and ran away but then Gohan's hand grabbed hers.
"I-I'm sorry." he said.
"That's not enough, Gohan. Can't you remember the letter. I
asked you not to fall in love yet. I told you I'd come back no
matter what it takes. You told me that you would wait. You even
said that you'd come to Jurai. And you told me...you told me you
loved me..." said Sasami.
"I-I can't remember..." Gohan replied. He let go but Sasami stayed.
She took out something from her pocket.
"Here." she said. Gohan opened it and saw the letter he wrote
years ago.
"I remember now." he said. He gave her a signal to wait and went
inside his room. He had an envelope with him.
"This is the letter you wrote me." he said, giving it to Sasami.
"I can't believe I forgot all about it. But I didn't open it
until you left."
"I don't know what to do anymore." said Sasami. "You didn't
wait for me. And I don't think you mean what you said when you
wrote that you thought you were in love."
"I meant it so much! But we were kids back then."
"So it doesn't mean anything now?"
"It means does mean something! I care about you."
"Then why did you fall in love with Videl?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Because I love you! Even now."
"I didn't know."
"Because you just don't understand." Then there was a knock on
the door. It opened and a girl came in.
"Gohan?" she called. Sasami slapped Gohan and ran away.
"Gohan! Who was that?" she asked.
"Hi, Videl. That was Sasami."
"Meow?" said Ryo-Ohki in a worried tone. Sasami was in her room,
crying. Gohan didn't love her anymore. He probably didn't even
love her at all.
"Auntie Sasami?" asked Asahi, coming through the door.
"Oh, Asahi. What is it?" Sasami asked.
"Why are you crying?" he asked.
"It's nothing, Asahi."
"There's something wrong with you, Auntie Sasami." Asahi climbed
onto Sasami's lap and wiped her tears.
"Aeka taught you a lot, huh Asahi?"
"Yes! She said I have to be good to become a good emperor like
grandfather! I want to be good because I want daddy to not be
stubborn anymore like what mommy says."
"You'll be a great emperor, Asahi!" Sasami said with a giggle.
"You'll be just as good as grandfather." she said.
"I want my daddy to stop being so stubborn." Asahi said.
"I don't know much about that."
"I know daddy won't be stubborn if mommy talks to him."
"I know you'll get your daddy again. I know."
"Me too!"
