My eyes were very from tears and my pillows were quite moist. I wiped my eyes and went out on my balcony. I had no idea why but I did.
I was worried. What could of possible happened to Gabrielle to make me have a very bad feeling. A shadow had begun to cover my connection to Gabrielle. I rushed over to her house as fast as I could with no care about what my mother would say. I found her on her balcony, staring at the waves.
"Gabby, are you okay?" I asked.
"No, Gohan it's terrible. My father says I can't see you anymore outside of school. He has people watching me. My father says you are a bad influence on me. How incredibly not true! I love you, Gohan and I don't want you to have to wait for me. I won't hold it against you if you go and never return." She said, crying.
"Why would I leave you, Gabby?" I asked, wiping away her tears.
"Well, because of my father..." Gabrielle started. I interrupted her.
"You're father is just trying to protect you. I am trying to protect you." I said.
"From what?" Gabrielle asked.
"From everything." I said.
"Except the androids. You are afraid of them, Gohan, I can tell. You are afraid that they will kill some one dear to you." She said.
"They already have, Gabby, they already have." I said.
"You mean Krillin and Piccolo and even Vegeta, you even had a semi-acquaintance-ship with him." Gabrielle said.
"Miss Gabrielle, are you out here?" Joann said.
"Oh man! Joann...hide Gohan!" Gabrielle said.
"Huh? What? Hide?" I said, complying.
"Were you talking to someone, Miss Gabrielle?" Joann asked her.
"Oh no! I was talking to myself!" Gabrielle said.
"You were talking to yourself? I didn't know you did that. Well, anyways your father wanted to see you." Joann said.
"Why would I want to talk to him?" Gabrielle asked.
"Because he wishes to speak with you." Joann said.
"Fine. You can inform him that I shall be down in a few minutes." Gabrielle said.
"Okay, Miss Gabrielle." Joann said, leaving.
"Boy, that was close. Although I don't think Joann would of said anything." Gabrielle said.
"I really don't like sneaking around like this, Gabby." I said.
"I don't like it either, Gohan, but my dad is so stubborn. He won't give in now that he said that." Gabrielle said.
"You might be able to convince him..." I said. Gabrielle thought about it for a second.
"Okay, yeah sure. I'll try. I better go before he comes up here. I shall see you later, Mister Gohan Son." Gabrielle said, pushing me.
I said goodbye to Gohan and walked to my father's suite. Diana and Joann went to the store for a new toy for Diana. We had the house pretty much to ourselves.
"Ah, there you are, Gabrielle! Good morning sweetie." My father said.
"Good morning father. How are you this fine clear morning?" I asked, very stiffly.
"Good, good. Now about what I said yesterday. I am so sorry for trying to control your life. You are my oldest child left and I just want to protect you. I have done some research on this Gohan fellow and I brought up some interesting snippets of information." My father said, clicking away at his keyboard.
"Like what?" I asked, looking on to his monitor.
"His father was a World's Martial Arts Tournament Champion. He also was in the previous three but he didn't win those. His mother also was in the World's Martial Arts Tournament. He seems to have come from a very strict family. I would like to meet him, Gabrielle. Also, his father and Bulma Brief go back from when they were little. This boy has an interesting heritage." My father said.
"Oh really? Well, I am sure he'd love to meet you, Daddy." I said.
"Good, well. Can you call him over here?" My father asked.
"Now? Umm...yeah sure..." I said. I had no earthly idea why my father would want to meet Gohan now.
"Well, yes, now would be great." My father said. "No time like the present." I was worried.
"Okay, Daddy." I said. Diana came running into the room with her puppy, Tragan, following her.
"Daddy! Daddy! There's a man outside!" Diana called as she ran up to my dad.
"A man? What do you mean, Diana?" My father asked.
"There really is a man out there, Daddy!!" Diana called. Tragan barked as to affirm her answer. My father rushed to the door and to my utter surprise, it was Gohan.
"Hello, may I help you?" My father asked. I was at the door.
***************Say something to make yourself look smart*********************
***************What? Make myself look smart?******************************
***************My dad wants to meet you...pretend you are someone else*********
***************Pretend I am someone else? Okay...whatever you say*************
I was supposed to pretend I was someone else, Right...how was I supposed to accomplish this?
"Umm...sir, what is it you wanted?" Gabrielle's father asked.
"I wanted to umm...how about, I wanna sell you a new type of vitamin..." I said.
A new type of vitamin? Was he insane? I slapped my forehead. Yeah that'll be convincing...
"We didn't order such a thing...you must be mistaking, my boy. Would you like a payment for all your troubles?" My father asked. I was shaking my head.
"Umm...Daddy...this is Gohan...not a vitamin salesman." I said. Gohan gave me a look.
"So this is Gohan...my god...you sure are quick!" My father said.
"Quick?" He asked bewildered.
"I am very pleased to meet you, Gohan. I hear a lot about you and your family from Bulma Brief." My father said.
"OH! BULMA! Yeah, I know her. She was a real close friend of the family." Gohan babbled.
"Yes, I have heard. So, you are my daughter's love...interesting. I will have to say that I approve, Gabrielle. You seemed to of chosen well." My father said.
"You do?" I asked reluctantly not really believing it.
"Yes, I do. Gabrielle, I don't want to lose you. You are my girl and I can't deny you. You have a good person to love. Bulma Brief has told me much about him. He is a pure of heart and he won't take advantage of you." My father said.
"Daddy!" I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I'll never let you go."
"Gabrielle, you will grow up and I can't stop that. I want you to know that I will always be here forever." My father said.
I started crying "I know you will" I whispered.
I have no confidence and I can't see why I should.
I could do most anything for you and you know I would
I try too hard and then I give up way too easily
I'm the runner up inside of you and you are the winner inside of me
Lose your way
And I will follow
Here today
And here tomorrow
But my freedom I know
I'll never let you go
I still wish on a evening star and I suppose I always will
If a child loses something her whole life can't fulfill
When you hide I feel the sky burst open in my veins
Loving you makes a slave of me and I'll spend my whole life in chains
Lose your way
And I will follow
Here today
And here tomorrow
But my freedom I know
I'll never let you go
Walk a line
I'll walk inside you
Change of mind
And you know just I do
It's the reason I know
You'll never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
"Gohan, Can you believe it? My father actually agrees with this. I can love you and not have to disobey him!" Gabby said, throwing her arms in the air. "Isn't life wonderful?" She asked.
"Yeah, everything is wonderful." I sighed looking up to the sky.
"Daddy totally agrees and Diana has no objection...I can't believe this day finally came." Gabrielle said. "I guess love really is the most powerful thing. I've been so alone before you. I think this is where I belong."
Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life
And if you knew how lovely my life has been
And I know I've been so alone
And if you knew I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm all right cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there is light
And if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me
It feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
I was sitting on the same chair I was when I first saw Gohan.
"I am very impressed on how you have changed her, Gohan. I do not often advocate teenage dating but in your case I most certainly do. You have turned her back into the sweet Gabrielle that I knew when she was a child." Mr. Kopeland commented.
"Well thank you I guess." Gohan said, blushing.
"This is the Gabrielle Yamato I knew when her mother was still alive." Mr. Kopeland said.
"But how did you know her before?" Gohan asked, confused.
"I am her mother's brother...or her uncle. After my dear sister, Melanie died both Gabrielle and her sister Angela, Gabrielle refused to allow any part of my family talk to her. She hid herself within a shell and you, my dear boy, have broken it. Thank you." Mr. Kopeland said.
"I am so sorry, Uncle Paul. I really shouldn't be so rude." I said, smiling.
"It's okay, Gabrielle. Please tell your father I say hi." Mr. Kopeland said.
"I will." I said sweetly.
"Well, you two better go back to class. Have fun!" Mr. Kopeland said. Gohan and I waved and walked out side.
"You never told me that he was your uncle." Gohan said.
"I haven't told myself that for a long time." I admitted. We were walking together towards my first period...and then Jacien showed up...
