Cell walked into Aquaria's room to see her struggling to close the lid of her suitcase.
"What are you doing?" he frowned, leaning on the door post.
"Can you please help me?" asked Aquaria, doing everything she could to try and close it.
"Easy," Cell smirked, walked over and shut it with one hand, "I can't see why you couldn't do it yourself," Cell sighed.
"Because I'm not an ex-super villain! Err, no offence or anything," Aquaria blushed.
"None taken. Why are you packing? Had enough of me already?" Cell mumbled.
"No! Of course not! Gohan said he was going to kill you in three days, right?" explained Aquaria.
"Yes. I can't wait," he muttered angrily.
Aquaria ignored that, "Well I thought we could go for a holiday! Skiing!" she grinned.
"Skiing? I was thinking more along the lines of a tropical island. . ." sulked Cell.
Aquaria giggled, "Why? Is it all the girls in bikinis that interests you?"
Cell blushed angrily, "No! It's just. . . warmer! I hate the cold."
Aquaria tried to speak through hysteric giggling, "You don't get affected by climates though! You told me so!"
"I. prefer. a warmer. climate!" growled Cell, blushing harder, if that were possible.
"Oh alright, you really need a tan. We'll go to, um. Do you know any tropical islands? Ones that you haven't blown from the face of the earth?" Aquaria smiled, sitting on the suitcase that lay on her bed.
Cell thought for a minute, "Maybe we should just go skiing."
"What about Fiji? Tell me you left at least one island!" groaned Aquaria at Cell's guilty expression.
"I think so. Maybe two or three," frowned Cell.
"Cool! I packed us some clothes, but I'm gonna have to re-pack. I only packed ski gear," smiled Aquaria.
"I'll help you, here," offered Cell, unpacking the suitcase.
Cell and Aquaria decided to take a plane. One, not to attract attention. Two, not to attract a killer Gohan.
"I hate planes," growled Cell.
"'Bob', I doubt you can get airsick," snorted Aquaria.
"This plane is so slow," complained Cell, "Maybe I should get out and push."
Aquaria giggled, "What if Gohan sees you?" she smirked.
Cell's pale face went even paler, "Okay, I wont then. Can we change my name please? I don't like 'Bob'," grumbled Cell.
"Aw! I think 'Bob' is a cute name!" Aquaria grinned, pinching his cheek.
"Never do that again," stressed Cell.
Aquaria nodded, still smiling slightly and stared out the window.
Cell closed his eyes in silent meditation, wishing that he could fly instead of cowering behind Gohan's shadow.
'Gohan,' Cell growled as he thought of the twelve year old.
"Cell," murmured Aquaria quietly, "Don't worry, I'll try to talk to him. After the holiday," she smiled weakly.
"Thanks," Cell smiled appreciatively.
Aquaria turned away to hide her blush, 'I never noticed,' she thought, 'How handsome he looks when he does that,'
While Aquaria was off in la-la land, Cell went back to meditating.
'Hmm. Why does she protect me? I've killed so many innocent people, she is the only one that doesn't think I'm a monster.'
Cell looked at Aquaria, "Aquaria?" he asked.
She turned to grin at him, "Yeah? Bob?" she grinned.
Cell tried to ignore that, "Why don't you think I'm a monster?"
Aquaria smirked, "Who said I didn't think that?"
Cell glared angrily at her. Aquaria's grin faded, and she stared back at him, not blinking.
They stared at each other for a long time.
'She has such pretty eyes.' thought Cell dreamily.
'Oh heck, I can't keep this up! I'm gonna blink!' thought Aquaria, trying not to loose their staring contest.
Aquaria's eyes started to water.
"Aquaria? Are you alright?" Cell asked, concerned, Aquaria didn't answer.
'Must-not-blink!' thought Aquaria desperately.
'A staring contest? I don't even need to blink! Ah, might as well,' Cell thought to himself.
Cell blinked.
Aquaria cried out in happiness and did the victory sign, "Yah! I rock! Go me!" she cried happily. Cell smiled softly at her as she jumped up and down in her seat, 'She looks so happy. . .'
Most of the passengers were watching Aquaria with odd looks on their faces by now.
Aquaria looked at the deserted island that they were staying on. There was a small house built on the island, stocked with the supplies that they would need during their stay.
"Yaaaaaah! Goodie! Goodie! Goodie! Goodie!" squealed Aquaria, jumping around the tiny island.
"How long are we going to be here?" asked Cell.
"A week! That'll be long enough for Gohan to shrug it off!" Aquaria grinned.
Cell smiled softly and shook his head, "No. Gohan will never give up until I'm dead Aquaria," replied Cell sombrely.
Aquaria's smile faded, "If he kills you, he'll have to kill me first!" stated Aquaria firmly.
Cell frowned, "Stay out of it Aquaria. I'm warning you now. This is between Gohan and myself, you mind your own business," Cell snarled, before leaving for the house.
Aquaria frowned, 'I know he's just trying to protect me, the stubborn cockroach. But he doesn't have to be so. cold.'
Cell frowned and lay sown on the bed, his masculine arms supporting his head as he lay, staring up at the ceiling. His magenta eyes almost burning holes in the roof.
'I can't let Gohan near her. He made it quite clear that he would even kill her to get to me. I wont let him kill her, she's the only friend I've ever had. I've never had a home, a place of origin. The only place I could've ever seek refuge was my arena, and mow it's gone. My little Cell Jrs. Are gone. all because of that- that animal Gohan! And he's upset because he lost his Dad?! I have no family! Let alone a Dad!' thought Cell angrily.
'Two days. I'll stay here for two days and then I'll leave, to see Gohan. I'll let him kill me and Aquaria will be safe. She's all that counts, Aquaria.'
Cell turned his head to look at her out of the window, she had changed into a dark navy bikini outfit and was wearing a towel wrapped around her waist. Her long blue hair was tied back with an orange ribbon, and she was sitting on the beach. Watching the waves as they washed up the occasional shell or stone.
Cell couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from the sight of her, "I was rude, horrible and neglected her when she needed me. And yet she trusted me right from the start, took care of me when I was dying, gave me a place to live in and tried to protect me from someone that could have vaporised her with his ki. I would die for her, and now I have to. Two days. . . not a lot of time, but I will make it last, for Aquaria. She deserves it."
Aquaria sat on the beach, bored. After a while she decided to get up and go for a swim, "Hope there are no sharks around here. Of all movies they could have showed on the plane trip, they chose Jaws!" mumbled Aquaria, leaving her towel behind.
'At least the water's warm. . .' mused Aquaria, smiling as she swam around.
Aquaria floated on her back, absorbing the sun's warm rays. There was a 'swish' and a huge tidal wave swept over her, soaking her with semi-warm water. "Cell!" Aquaria half screamed, half laughed as she surfaced.
Cell stood, knee-deep in the water. His arms crossed over his chest and an arrogant smirk on his face, "You look good wet," he stated coyly.
Aquaria blushed crimson, "You really need a tan! It's hurting my eyes just to look at you!" she giggled.
Cell immediately kicked off the ground and flew into the air, leaving a shocked Aquaria to paddle around by herself.
Cell returned a few minutes later with a slight tan.
"What happened?" asked Aquaria in awe, "H-how did you?"
Cell smirked, "Easy, I just flew up to the Sun, did a few loops, and came back."
"The Sun?!" cried Aquaria, "It took you five minutes to fly around the Sun?!"
"I had to fly slower, or the rays wouldn't sink in," explained Cell.
"Wow!" cried Aquaria grinning, "That is so cool!"
Cell really didn't need that kind of ego boost right then.
Aquaria's face went ghost-white, "C-Cell! What if Gohan sensed you?!" she cried in alarm.
Cell's magenta eyes widened, "Oh no. . ."
"Don't worry. Just forget it happened, it's night-time on that side of the world. He's probably asleep," Aquaria smiled, walking up to Cell and grabbing his arm, "Wanna go for a swim?" Cell nodded and followed her into the crystal-clear water.
"Cell, what's your favourite type of music?" asked Aquaria, bored and tired after their swim, they had gotten changed into pyjamas as it was night time.
"Which rock group do the Gorillas go Ape over?" Cell smirked.
"The Monkeys?" Aquaria giggled, "I know that one!"
"I've been staying with you for too long. That's the third gorilla joke I've said," Cell sighed dramatically.
"Second," Aquaria corrected him.
'Oh. That's right, I didn't tell her the first one,' thought Cell.
"Cell?" asked Aquaria slowly.
"Yeah?" Cell yawned, although he wasn't exactly tired.
"There is only one bed. And I'm not letting you sleep on the couch, it looks a bit dodgy," Aquaria sighed.
"It's alright, I don't sleep so it shouldn't be a problem," replied Cell gently.
"No! Look Cell, I want to make sure that you have a good time here, I wont mind sharing the bed. It's King-sized anyway," Aquaria smiled.
Cell smiled softly at her, "Why do you care so much? You're the only one who cares about me, if you don't count Gohan wanting me dead."
"But I do care Cell!" Aquaria protested, hugging his arm, "Just acknowledge that somebody cares about you and be happy already! Oh, I'm tired. . ." mumbled Aquaria.
Cell gently piked her up and carried her over to the bed, "I'll stand watch, so none of the scary sharks try to hurt you," Cell smirked, remembering the plane.
"Hey! I wasn't that scared! It was only a movie!" grumbled Aquaria.
"You screamed and hid under the seat, three times," Cell cooed gently.
"It was a scary movie!" mumbled Aquaria.
"I know, the music enhanced that quite a bit too," added Cell.
Aquaria didn't hear that, she was already snoring lightly on the bed. Curled up in a fettle position.
'So beautiful. . .' mused Cell as he watched her sleep, 'I'll leave tomorrow night. I can't endanger her any longer. Gohan could be on his way right now for all I know. . ."
Cell walked into Aquaria's room to see her struggling to close the lid of her suitcase.
"What are you doing?" he frowned, leaning on the door post.
"Can you please help me?" asked Aquaria, doing everything she could to try and close it.
