~~Chapter 4~~ Party of Remembrance
In the far corner, Vegeta, Bulma, Oolong, and Roshi played euchre. Vegeta's face was too grime for just a "friendly" game. There was no real betting or anything on the line but it seem to Krillin that it was to tense of a competition for him. Vegeta playing on Bulma's team acted as if his title was at steak if he lost this game of cards. Bulma hummed quietly to her self, ignoring Vegeta. Oolong and Roshi sheared a mincing look. Probably cheating no doubt, Krillin thought to himself. Krillin had located himself by the drinking table just across from 18 who was sitting in a chair by the window, drinking a orange soda.
Krillin sighed softly into his drink. There she was. Just right across the room from him. By herself. Sipping her soft drink quietly. She looked sad. Krillin frowned. He knew why. No one was talking to her. He was amazed that she came to his party in the first place.
Maybe if he could get the courage to go talk to her.
"I wished Goku was here right now, he would know what to do. It seemed he always had a way with women." Krillin mumbled, "Maybe because he was taller..." Whatever the reason, Krillin couldn't give up. Goku had told him once that he would find the right girl. Maybe 18 was her...
Krillin swallowed hard. Here goes nothing! He thought to himself. Before taking a step Krillin felt a sudden nudge in his ribs and stopped.
"What the--"
"Making calf eyes at 18 I see, Krillin" Yamcha laughed.
Krillin blushed, "Yamcha I was just, just ah--"
"No need to explain it to me Krillin" Yamcha winked, "I am an expert when it comes to women"
Krillin wanted to laugh. "Expert, Yeah Yamcha. As much women trouble you have now a days I don't think any man on Earth would want to trade places with you."
Yamcha's bit his lip, "So I had a rough start". A sheepish grin came to his face, whispering in Krillin's ear, "You should see the woman I brought here tonight Krillin she is a real looker"
"Anything between her ears?" Krillin chuckled.
Yamcha blushed, "Well a matter of fact. Her father is a professor at a university in West City."
"What about her mother?" One of Krillin's eyebrows raised and a grin came to his face.
"Mother?" Yamcha said breathlessly.
"Yes her mother Yamcha?" Krillin's grin became wilder.
Yamcha sighed, "Her mother is a body builder. Probably one of the dumbest woman I have ever met." He laughed nervously, "But hey! Linda is really nice you know. Its not always about smarts." Yamcha took a big swallow of his drink.
"What nice in the fact that she likes puppies and wants world peace?" Yamcha dropped his cup in mid-drank, sending it rolling across the room with all its contents pouring out.
Using one hand to wipe the juice off his chin, Yamcha grinned, "If I recall Krillin, You have had an airhead girlfriend of you own before." Yamcha bent down to clean the spill with a towel from the drink table.
Krillin put both of his hands behind his head and laughed, "So I have. So I have."
"Hey Krillin, I think I am going back outside. You know." Yamcha winked again.
Krillin grinned, "Yeah I know Yamcha, but one thing" Yamcha nodded, "Better tie weights to your girlfriend or she just might float away. Listen to the voice of experience. That's what happen to Marron."
Yamcha blushed again, "Funny Krillin" Yamcha turned to leave through the door to the beach. But stopped, Turning his head slightly he called back, "Good Luck Krillin, you might need it"
Now it was Krillin's turn to blush. Krillin turned away to see where 18 was...she was gone. He felt his heart drop. Where did she go? Maybe she left, no one was talking to her... He knew if he went to a party alone and no one there wanted to talk to him he would have left. But still. he wished he had talked to her. He felt a sudden pain for 18 being alone. She had no friends. Only 17 who was now dead. And now she came to this party, one that he invited her to and no one talked to her.
A sudden outcry came from the poker table across the room. Vegeta stood up from his seat.
"LISTEN HERE OLDMAN, I THINK YOU AND THAT PIG ARE CHEATING!" Vegeta shouted at the shaking old man.
Sweat poured down Roshi's face, "It just a game Vegeta, I don't think--"
"That's just it Roshi, You don't think" Oolong interrupted without looking up from his cards. He rearranged them as if he had found a better play.
"BULMA ARE YOU GOING TO JUST SET THERE AND LET THEM CHEAT?!" Vegeta continued shouting.
Bulma stopped humming, "What? Oh... They have been cheating the whole game Vegeta? You just now noticed?"
"HOW COME YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING?!"
"Because its just a game one. And two its no use killing people over" Her voice was as hard as steel. Probably the only way to talk to Vegeta when he was mad. Krillin grinned to himself.
Vegeta opened his mouth to say something, but Roshi quickly said, "Listen Vegeta, We didn't know your Saiyan rules. We were just playing our human rules. " Roshi looked like a water fountain, from the water streaming down his head.
"What human rules, to cheat!?" Vegeta's face was twisted with anger.
"Roshi, just say you wont cheat anymore. And give Vegeta the rightful amount of points and everything will be fine. In fact just give him the score sheet."
Roshi quickly looked at Vegeta and than changed something on a note pad and handed it to Vegeta. Vegeta scanned the little note pad as if it were an important document to win a court case. A grin came to the prince's face, "This seems right, but I think there should be a penalty for your team cheating. Maybe 3 points!"
"What! That's not fair!" Oolong exclaimed.
"Take it or leave it Pig!" Vegeta growled.
Roshi put a hand to his mouth and whispered to Oolong across the table. "Oolong under the table right now." Oolong sighed and disappeared under the table with Roshi's butt stinking out the other end. Vegeta stood staring at the table as if he could see right through it. All Krillin could hear under the table was soft mumbling. He did however recognize a few words like, "Oolong I don't want to die tonight", and "Just do what he wants". Krillin giggled. That Roshi he had a way of getting into trouble.
Both poker players resumed their spots. Oolong sighed, "We talked it over Vegeta and we only think it right that we give you four points, instead of three because of our cheating ways." Roshi nodded like a tree in a hurricane.
A smile came to Vegeta's face, "Good now that we all agree, lets continue play. BUT NO CHEATING THIS TIME!" Vegeta sat down and said as an afterthought, "I am keeping an eye on you old man" Sweat reappeared on Roshi's face.
"No worries Vegeta" Roshi said nervously.
Bulma sighed impatience, "Now can we get on with the game?" With Vegeta's nod the game once again continued in silence. With the occasional glance from Vegeta to Roshi. Making Roshi go white as snow.
Krillin laughed to himself. Those guys kill me. Turning to leave Krillin noticed something on the seat were 18 had sat. He glanced at the poker players to see if they noticed the note. They didn't. Was it for him? He will have to be smooth going to the note to attract little attention. Easy as eating cake, Krillin thought. I am as smooth as they come.
Keeping a sharp eye on the poker table Krillin made his way to the note. Great! no one noticed, he was already half way...
He suddenly found his face on the ground with a loud thud. What?! YAMCHA'S CUP! Was all he could think of. His face suddenly became burning red. He quickly got up rubbing his head.
"Krillin are you ok?" Bulma said looking over her shoulder.
"Ah Yeah! I mean I am ok." He could feel his face burning. They were all staring at him, except for Vegeta who was studying his cards as if they were the most important thing in the world. Glancing down at his feet was a cup. Yamcha's cup. Krillin growled as he bent down to pick it up.
"Just a cup" He said nervously holding it up for all to see. Bulma nodded and Oolong laughed.
Master Roshi shook his head. "I didn't teach you to become a fighter Krillin just for you to be clumsy" Krillin blushed again and the others laughed. They once again resumed playing.
Growling to himself Krillin walked the rest of the way to the seat. With one quick hand he grabbed the note and stuffed it in his pocket. Better read this out side.
He quickly opened the screen door leading to outside beach. The cool breeze from the ocean was welcome. Unlike on the mainland where it was hot. It was dark out and the moon reflected across the ocean's surface.
A fire laid in the middle of the sandy yard. To his left Krillin could barely make out the shadows of two people under a palm tree. No doubt Yamcha and his girlfriend. With his back to the fire, Piccolo stood staring out across the ocean at something unseen. Piccolo always looked trouble, Krillin thought. Poor guy. Shaking his head he looked over to his right. A second fire was made by a set of palm trees. Gathered around the fire were Tien, Chiaotzu, Puar, Ya and the Ox King.
Where were Gohan and Chi Chi? Krillin frowned. Chi Chi was not one to break promises. She said she had gotten Gohan to agree to come. Well... She didn't seem that confident on the phone, but she still promised. She seemed a little troubled to what Krillin could tell. He thought this party would do her good, but why wasn't she here? She said she would be.
"Hey Krillin come here!" A laughing Tien waved for him to come over.
Krillin jumped, he was thinking to hard... Everything was fine. "Be right over guys." Krillin yelled out to them. He would just have to ask the Ox King. Chi Chi's father. If everything was all right, it had to be. It just had to...
"Hey Krillin. It was a great idea to have a party in Goku's honor! One things missing thought, or in this case not missing" Tien grinned.
"What's that Tien?" Krillin sounded puzzled. What was not missing? Huh?
"The food" Tien pointed over to the food table near the first fire. Everyone including Krillin laughed.
"Good one Tien" Chiaotzu said, Tien's short companion who Tien followed everywhere.
"Thanks" Tien said still grinning.
"Ox King can I speak to you a moment?" Krillin hated to interrupt this pleasant meeting with his friends. But he had to know and he had to know now.
"Ahh.. Sure Krillin" The Ox King said rubbing his head.
Krillin motioned the giant man aside. Leaving the others continuing to talk by the fire. Occational laughter broke out followed by Tien mumbling something else. Followed by more laughter.
"What is it Krillin?" The Ox King looked worried.
"Did you come with Chi Chi and Gohan tonight?"
He shook his head, "Chi Chi said she would bring Gohan herself. Something about a mother and son thing." He frowned, "I haven't been able to visit her, she says she is trying to help Gohan, but I worry she needs help from something...Something I don't know." His frown drew deeper. "I was hoping you had seen them?"
Krillin shook his head. "I will tell you when I do, Ox King." He nodded and thanked Krillin before returning to the fire.
Mother and Son thing? Krillin frowned in thought. That Chi Chi was an odd one all right. Now for the letter, Krillin lifted it out of his pocket.
It was too dark here, being in between the fires. He looked over to see the others still gathered around the fire. Piccolo wasn't looking at the other fire...
That is where he would read it. Krillin made his way to the center fire. He could finally read it...
_______________________________________________________________________ | | | | | | |Krillin | | | |Thank you for inviting me to your party. Sorry I couldn't stay long, | | but something came up. Your party was really nice. It seems to be a big success. | |
| | | |I wanted to talk to you about what happened with Cell. I am sorry I | |treated you so badly after saving me. I was just afraid of something... I | |thought 17 was a friend, but I realized I was wrong. What his idea of fun was, | |was not a fun two friends go out to have. It pains me to think of what I was | |turning into. What you did for me.. made me think of what a true friend was. | | | | | | 18 | | |
|_______________________________________________________________________|
The thought of the kiss from 18 that time on the road came to him. Krillin blushed. What did she mean something? What was she afraid of? Krillin sighed. He would just...
"Krillin" Krillin jumped. Piccolo's deep voice came from across the fire.
"Yes Piccolo?" Krillin blushed suddenly; He hoped he didn't read that out loud like he did sometimes. He couldn't remember if he did or ...
"I have a bad feeling about Gohan and Chi Chi, Krillin"
Krillin nodded, "I do too"
"Did you find anything out that I might have missed when you talked to Chi Chi last?"
Krillin shook his head, "As I told you earlier. Chi Chi called last night saying that she had got Gohan to come."
Piccolo frowned, "I knew that much. I figured something was wrong, when I started training with Gohan yesterday morning. His mother has been acting strange too. I think that isolation is getting to them Krillin. I think I will go pay them a visit."
"You don't need to Piccolo. They are probably having one of those mother and son things" Piccolo looked at Krillin puzzled.
"You know where the mother..." Krillin stopped. What was he doing explaining mother and son to a Namek? "Sorry Piccolo" Krillin rubbed his head.
"On normal days I wouldn't go check Krillin, but since Dende says something is stirring on Earth, I am not taking any chances."
"Ok.. so you will be missing the toast to Goku than?" Piccolo nodded.
"I think it best I leave right now. If there is something wrong, I don't think we have much time."
Krillin nodded. "I will tell Bulma and the others."
Piccolo leaped into the air and hovered ten feet in the air. He stopped and turned around, calling down to Krillin, "Krillin, on second thought move everyone to the look out. I am not going to take any chances here either."
Krillin nodded. He had that feeling too. Something was wrong. Could Cell have come back? It just can't be....It can't!
"LISTEN EVERYONE" Bulma's voice came from the doorway to the house. "Everyone grab a drink, we are going to toast soon." A cheer came from the other fire.
Sweat started to go down Krillin's face. Yes that feeling was there. No use trying to mask it. After the toast. he will tell everyone. After the toast. Krillin headed for Roshi's house...
