Well, I am back and chapter four is finally here!!!! For all of you who have been waiting patiently and not-so-patiently for the next chapter, HERE IT IS!!!!! Now, on with the show!!!
"It's okay, Mr. Yamato. It was only her having another fit." Joann said. I walked in the kitchen and I picked up Diana.
"Diana, why are you crying?" I asked. Diana was now sobbing and trying to talk.
"I miss Scottie! You were gonna go too!" Diana cried. My dad turned to me with a questioning glance.
"Gabrielle, what does Diana mean by that?" He asked.
"I don't know...,"I said, lying through my teeth.
"DO SO! You were gonna go to the sea! I saw you!" Diana yelled.
"Diana, I am still right here!" I said, yelling.
"A boy saved you! And then you KISSED HIM!" Diana said, appalled.
"DIANA! YOU ARE SUCH A SNOOP!" I yelled. My father was just standing there in total shock.
"Gabby, you were going to commit suicide? I don't believe it." My father said.
"Daddy, I am so sorry! I just felt so empty. My life now has meaning. I mean it always did but now I can see the meaning that I was blinded to in my grief." I said. He looked at me skeptically.
"Gabby, I never knew you had been so serious. Diana mentioned that a boy saved you. Who was it?" My father asked.
"Gohan." I said, slightly embarrassed that Diana had mentioned him.
"What did he say to change your mind?" My father asked. I felt like I was in the Spanish Inquisition.
"I don't remember. Daddy, I am really okay now. Don't worry about me. Worry about Diana, she needs someone to worry about her." I said, trying to get him off my back.
"Okay, but Gabby, if I hear about something like this again, I will become worried. Oh, and Gabby. I want to meet this Gohan fellow. He saved my girl." My father said. I became worried. My father was very...well; picky about who I hung out with. At least he tried to be. Jacien was the son of one of his high school friends."You will eventually meet him." I said.
That night my dreams became my worst nightmare when I dreamt of how my life would be without Gabrielle. I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face and my attitude was up in the clouds.
"Why, hello, Gohan. You seem in a good mood today." My mother said.
"Yep! I'll see you later mom!" I said, walking out of the door.
"Goodbye, son." She said, shutting the door. I felt so high, I flew almost all the way to school. I saw Gabrielle in her car and driving to school.
******************HEY! GABBY! WHATCHA DOIN?****************************
******************GOING TO SCHOOL! What are you doing?*********************
*****************The same. Hey, why don't you park and I'll ask you something*******
********************************Okay.****************************************
She parked her car and got out. "Hey, Gohan! How are you?" She said.
"Wonderful. Hey do you wanna um...skip school for only today. There's something I want to show you." I asked.
"Sure. I've never skipped school before. It sounds...exciting!" She said. "So...what did you want to show me, Gohan?" I gave her a smirk.
"Come here." I said. She walked over to me and grabbed her arms. I floated above her and took her up into the sky.
"OH MY KAMI! I AM FLYING! THIS IS SO AMAZING! I NEVER DREAMED THAT FLYING WOULD BE SO...EXHILARATING!" Gabrielle yelled. She was enjoying it. I was happy. I shifted her so it seemed that she was flying. She continued yelling in pure giddy joy.
Flying was SO COOL! I loved it! I was so happy. I gave you a natural high. My hair was blowing everywhere. I couldn't believe Gohan could do this often without it becoming addicting. I flipped myself over and faced him.
"Thank you." I said.
"For what?" he asked.
"For being you. For saving me. For taking me flying. I never thought it could be so cool. Thank you." I said.
"Your welcome, Gabrielle. It was my pleasure. I meant what I said on that beach. I don't think I want to know a life without you. Don't push me away." Gohan said.
"I won't. I love you, now and forever, Gohan." I said, as I kissed him. "My father wants to meet you." I whispered.
"He does? Meet me? Why?" Gohan asked.
"Because you saved his baby girl. He thinks you are my hero." I said, mockingly. "But just between you and me...you are my hero, you saved me in every way. My soul and my mind now crave yours. Especially since we have the little psychic thing going." I felt so happy. I bopped Gohan in the nose.
"Hey! What you do that for?" Gohan asked.
"For the fun of it." I replied. "This skipping school thing is fun. I've never even thought of skipping before."
"You know, neither have I." Gohan said. We landed on a beach, far away from my home.
"The sea is so inviting, Don't you agree?" I said.
"Yea, even the greenish sea of Namek was inviting. I always liked the sea. My father and I would fish a lot." Gohan said.
"Namek had a green sea? A green like our water seems?" I asked.
"No, It was a very green green. It was meant to be that way. They had blue trees." Gohan said.
"Blue trees? I love blue. That's why I love the sea. The sea was my favorite place. Angela always like the land. I can remember a memory from when I was a little girl, like 2 or 3. Angela and my parents and I were having a picnic on the beach. It was right after we moved into our house and my mom was recovering from being ill. She and my dad were laughing and Angela was toddling along the edge of the sea, walking meticulously, so not to get wet. I went right into the sea. My mom, being a good mom, took notice of me quite quickly and ran and got me. 'No Gabrielle. Don't go into the sea', she'd say." I said.
"Oh? I can see you as a two-year old running away." Gohan laughed.
"You can?" I asked
"Oh sure. You always had a rebellious streak, admit it." Gohan teased.
"You caught me. You know, I've been thinking...I have being remembering everything nasty we ever said to each other. It seems so meaningless now." I said.
"Yeah, you mean when you were dating Jacien and were a total bitch?" Gohan asked.
"Yep. I'm sorry for everything I said. I now know everything that my heart was saying. I love you, Gohan." I said, sitting on the beach.
"You know, I always will remember your face in that argument. Your eyes were so full of life. Don't ever lost that flame, Gabrielle." Gohan said to me, grabbing my hand.
"I won't. I promise." I said. We kissed again and then I got up. "Are we always going to be like this, Gohan? Happy and ever so peaceful. What about those damned androids. One day they are going to come back here. A prophecy keeps appearing in my dreams. I can't explain it but, oh my Kami, it seems so real." I said. Tears started running down my face.
"Don't cry, Gabrielle. There is a light among all the darkness." Gohan said, wiping my tears away.
"I'm sorry. Oh my KAMI! Look what time it is!" I said, turning and jumping as I saw the time on the clock.
"Wow. It's already 4 o'clock. That's cool. We spent the whole day talking and flying." Gohan said. He grabbed my waist. "More flying?" He asked.
"You bet you bottom dollar!" I said. We again went flying. In the middle of my happiness I remembered one important thing. "Gohan! MY CAR! I forgot my car! We have to go back!" I said.
"Oh, man. And we were very close to your home." Gohan said, turning back.
"Oh, I feel so stupid for forgetting it." I said.
"You sure you don't have blonde roots?" Gohan asked
"Very sure. Black and blonde just don't go together." I said.
"Oh, okay. Well, here's your car. I'll see you later, Gabrielle." Gohan said.
"Thank you, again for the wondrous day." I said. I got in my car and drove off, watching Gohan in my rearview mirror until I could no longer see him. I drove up to my house to find many cops in front of my house. "Umm...okay. Excuse me, Mister, but what's going on?"
"Oh, well...Ms. Gabrielle Yamato is missing. She never appeared at school and Mr. Yamato was very worried." The cop replied.
"Oh." I said, running to find my father.
"GABBY! GABBY, GABBY, GABBY!!!!" Diana said, running up to me.
" Hi, Diana." I said.
"GABRIELLE YAMATO!!! Where in Kami's name were you?" My father asked.
"I was umm..." I said.
"You were what?" My father demanded.
"I skipped school." I said quickly.
"YOU WHAT?" My father yelled. "Gabrielle!! How could you?"
"I took a day off. I meant to go to school but I was sidetracked..." I said.
"By what or by WHOM?" My father asked.
"Gohan." I said.
"The same person who saved you from suicide?" My father asked.
"The same." I said, barely audible.
"Well, I am beginning to think that this boy is a bad influence." My father said.
"I would highly doubt that, Mr. Yamato." A nearby police man said.
"Butt out. We no longer need your service. Thank you for all your help however." My father said, a tad annoyed.
"Dad, I am not little anymore. I should be able to make my own decisions! Good or Bad!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
"You are to no longer see that boy outside of school." My father said firmly.
"DADDY, you can't!" I cried.
"I can and I will. Do not go near him, Gabrielle. I mean it. I am as serious as your mother's death." My father said. I couldn't believe him. How could he do this to me. I ran from the room and into my own, with no intention of staying there but, much to my disliking, he locked the door and the stairs. I could go no where. I tried to talk to Gohan but I couldn't. And somehow, I cried myself to sleep that night.
I felt so good. I was so happy and so was Gabrielle. Love definitely was unpredictable. Who would of ever thought that I, would fall madly in love with Gabrielle Yamato. This was way over my head.
"Gohan? Is that you? WHERE IN KAMI'S NAME HAVE YOU BEEN?" My mother yelled.
"With Gabrielle." I said simply.
"Well, I got a phone call that said you were not in school today. Where were you?" My mother demanded.
"With Gabrielle." I answered again.
"Where were you just ten short minutes ago?" She asked, I would assume in spite.
"With Gabrielle." I answered again.
"I am beginning to think that girl is a bad influence on you, Gohan." My mother said.
"Nah, I am a bad influence on her." I said.
"You are being very contradictory, Gohan. Please tell me what you mean." My mother asked, quite confused.
"I was with Gabrielle all day today." I said.
"And just what were you doing today with her all day?" My mother asked.
"We talked and laughed and flew." I said.
"You flew? Gohan, how many times do I have to tell you that I do not want you showing off your powers, including flying." My mother said.
"I know, I know. But I felt so high and I really didn't want to come down and Gabrielle loved it!" I said.
"I am very glad for you son, but I also want you to be careful." My mother said.
"I always am!" I said laughing.
"I know you are. But please try to be extra careful." My mother said.
"I shall." I said. It was getting rather late so I went into my room and stared at the ceiling and thought of Krillin and my dad and even Vegeta. For some reason, I could not get them out of my mind.
The next morning I awoke with a start. Something was very wrong.
