Gohan looked around the slightly familiar environment, then looked up at the golden ring hovering over his head, "Damn." He looked ahead of him at the long line of people, ~This is going to take forever~ He put two fingers up to his forehead and used instant transmission to appear in front of a giant desk, with a giant red demon sitting behind it.

The demon looked down at Gohan, "It's about time."

"What do you mean?"

"You have someone waiting for you." He pointed over at the blonde who was arguing with a young man with long black hair.

"I said no!"

"Is there a problem?" Gohan was standing behind 18 with his arms crossed. The man shook his head and walked off.

"I've been waiting for you Gohan." 18 took a step forward to give him a hug but he stepped back. 18's expression changed, "What's wrong?"

"18 we need to talk."

". . .About?"

"I want to call the whole thing off." He did his best to keep his emotions in check.

18's eyes widened, "Call what off?" She knew what he meant but she didn't want to believe it.

"I'm sorry 18. It's over."

18 felt her eyes burning, "Why?"

"I have my reasons. . ."

"Like what!?" Most of the people and demons in the building looked over at them, hearing 18's voice.

"18 just accept this. Don't make a scene."

18 couldn't believe what she was hearing. She found herself looking at a man that she didn't know, her Gohan was gone. This man was bitter and full of hate. "Gohan what happened to you?"

Gohan crossed his arms, "It's none of your business."

18 was so confused. ~If this is a dream someone please wake me up~

*****

"Miyu?!" Goku looked down at Miyu who seemed to be unconscious still. ~I could have sworn. . .~

. . .Don't worry about the dragonballs Goku. I'll get them back. . .

Goku's eyes widened ~I didn't know she was telepathic~ Goku looked at the dragon radar he had just taken from Gohan's pouch and sighed, ~I guess I'll wait and see if she really does get them back~

*****

"Fine Gohan. Pretend like our relationship was just one big joke."

"18. . ." Before he could say anything else they heard a familiar voice.

. . .You guys just stay were you are for a moment. . .

"Miyu?" 18 and Gohan felt a strange sensation as everything around them turned black. Suddenly the world came back into view and they were back on earth. Goku jumped as the two, fully restored bodies rose off the ground. "You guys are ok?!" He looked down at Miyu and smiled, ~She came through after all. She must be back to normal, but why is she still unconscious~

18 turned to Gohan as she pulled the ring off of her finger. She took his hand and placed the ring in his palm.

Goku arched a brow, "What's going on you guys?"

18 leaned forward and kissed Gohan on the cheek, "Fine." She turned around and started walking away, tears escaping her eyes.

"18 where are you going?" Goku turned to look at Gohan. His eyes widened when he saw the single tear roll down the warrior's cheek. Gohan tightened his grip on the ring then turned and walked away.

Goku wanted to know what was going on but wasn't sure which one to go after. After both were out of sight, Goku decided that he would find out sooner or later and that there were more important things to worry about at the moment. He kneeled down and scooped Miyu up in his arms, ~I guess she can stay at my place till she wakes up~ He looked at her face and sighed, ~I hope she's alright~
