"How are you, Gohan?" My mother asked as she walked into my room.
"Okay, I guess. Kind of bored. Kind of busy. I just wish that Gabrielle was here." I said. "She seemed so happy."
"Oh, well. That's kind of what I needed to talk to you about." My mother said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"The police called. You and Gabrielle..." My mother said.
"What? Me and Gabrielle? What mom?" I asked.
"You two are not legally allowed to see each other until this is cleared up." My mother said, starting to tear up. "It isn't your fault or hers. I, nor her father had anything to do with this. Actually I think it was that other kid...Jacien's parents."
"No, no! I won't believe it!" I said.
"Please, Gohan...Gabrielle is probably a wreck as well." My mother said.
I was in my room when the bad news came. I was playing a board game with Diana. The phone rang and Diana, being cute, answered it.
"Hello, this is the Yamato residence. How may I help you?" Diana asked. "You want Gabrielle? She's sitting right here. Kay-oh."
"Hello?" I asked, taking the phone from Diana.
"Yes, Gabrielle Yamato? I am Detective Freud. I am investigating the incident with you and two others. I must tell you, that by the law, you are not to see any of the other patrons until the investigation is over." He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You are not to communicate in any way with Gohan Son or Jacien Kith. Please understand it is for your own safety and is in your best interest." He said, then he hung up.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" I said, crying.
"What is it, Gabby?" Diana asked.
"I can't see Gohan or talk to him." I said, in my tears.
"It will be okay." Diana reassured me.
"Thank you, Diana." I said.
"What is all the racket? Diana, were you crying?" My father asked as he walked into my room.
"Not me, Daddy. It was Gabby." Diana said.
"Gabrielle, what's the matter?" My father asked me.
"They said I can't see Gohan. Dad, that's not fair." I said, crying.
"Why can't you? Who said?" He asked.
"The detective Freud. He said it was illegal. I can't live without him anymore. Dad, what am I going to do?" I asked, crying.
"Pray that this mess will be resolved quickly and hope you can see Gohan soon. We can't break the law, Gabbers." My father said, using my nickname when I was a child.
"I guess so." I said, thinking of using the psy-speak we use.

****************Goodbye, my sweet Gabrielle, my only love********************
I was much happier now. I was okay.
"Are you better now, Gabby?" Diana asked.
"Sure am!" I said, hugging her.
"Good. But why?" Diana asked.
"Because I know everything will be okay!" I said.
"Really? Everything?" Diana asked.
"Sure! Everything, Diana." I said.
"Good. DADDY!" Diana said, running out of my room.
"What is it, Diana?" My father asked.
"Gabby is happy!" Diana said, running into his open arms.
"Is she really?" He asked.
"Yep. She said so herself." Diana said, agreeing with herself.
"Well, it's a good thing because I don't like Gabby-baby being unhappy." My father said, smiling at me.
"I think it is time for Diana to go to bed." I said.
"Yep, Gabby is very right." My father said, picking Diana up. "Time for bed, Diana-bear."
"Okay. When Joann coming back?" Diana asked, walking up her stairs.
"Soon, sweetie, soon." My father said. Soon was the answer for everything it seemed. In two weeks we were allowed to see each other again. The detective wrote it off as being a freak accident. And as a result all the lights in the schools were changed.
"GOHAN!" My mother yelled.
"What?" I asked, irate about not being able to figure out a math problem.
"DETECTIVE FREUD CALLED! YOU ARE FREE!" My mother yelled from the kitchen.
"I am free to see Gabrielle?" I asked.
"Yes!" She said, excited.
"WOW!" I said, running out of the house and straight to Gabrielle's.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The matron, Joanne asked.
"May I please see Gabrielle?" I asked.
"Yes. Please come in." She said. She walked away to get Gabrielle. Gabrielle came running down the stairs.
"GOHAN!" She said, running into my arms. I picked her up and swung her around. "I missed you so much!" She remarked, crying happy tears.
"I missed you, too." I said.
"I didn't think I would ever see you again!" She said, kissing me.
"I wouldn't be able to stay away for too long." I said.
"I didn't think so." She said, wrinkling her nose.
"I love you, Gabrielle and I want you to always know I will never be far." I said.
"Good thing. I don't think I could make it if you did." Gabrielle answered.
"I wouldn't leave you for the world!" I said.
"Hmph. You better not." She answered.
"I still love you, sweet Gabrielle. Although I do need to know what happened that day." Gohan said.
"What happened? I really don't know Gohan." I said.
"Tell me everything. Everything you were feeling and thinking." He said.
"Okay. I think I can tell you." I said, sitting down on Diana's play couch.
"Please, Gabby. We have to know the truth." Gohan said.
"Okay. Well, I was thinking of you when Jacien walked up to me. I was thinking about how much I love you and I will never let you go. He came up and started to well you know. Anyways I started to get angry. I called you and you came and I felt power surge through me like never before. I felt so strong and suddenly everything became clear. I had to shoot a light through my hands and then I fell unconscious." I said.
"That's all?" He asked.
"Yep. That's it!" I said.
"Well, Gabby as hard as it is to believe, I think that the power you felt came from me..." Gohan said.
"Came from you? I don't understand..." I said, confused.
"Well, there is a long story that goes along with this and I'll cut it short as I can." Gohan said.
My mother was the one that suggested that Gabrielle had gotten the energy from me. And now I knew it was true.
"My father was a Saiyan, a separate race. He was just a baby when the planet Vegeta was destroyed by Frieza, an evil entity who plagued the universe. He came to live on this planet, not knowing of his past. Then when I was four, my uncle Radditz came and plagued the earth. My father then learned the secret of his past, but at a terrible price. My father was killed. He spent a year dead, training with King Kai. I was trained by Piccolo, and you remember him..." I started
"Was he the green one?" She asked.
"Yeah. Anyways, he trained me. And then my dad came back, and the earth was again in Peril...this time by Vegeta and Nappa. Tien, Chaotzu, and Yamcha were killed and my dad defeated Vegeta who had killed Nappa. Anyways, we decided that we had to go to Namek to retrieve the Dragonballs, it was supposed to be an easy trip but it became infinitely more complex because the evil shadow of Frieza was hanging over the peaceful planet. My father was training so only me, Krillin and Bulma went to Namek and my father followed. We first had to deal with the Ginyu force, a bunch of fruities, and then Frieza himself. The time at Namek was a confusing time for all of us. Vegeta became on our side and we had to deal with a strong being, Frieza. My father was gone for an entire year after Namek was destroyed. He said he went to planet Yardret and was trained there. Frieza came back and my dad fought and defeated him.
"Oh...My...Kami...I can't believe you went through such an adventurous and turmoil life. Gohan, my life seems so insignificant compared to yours." Gabrielle said.
"No, my life was full of love and danger. Without you, I have no inkling of how precious life is. You are the missing part of me. The truth is so clear in your eyes." I said.
"You are the missing part of me too. But does that explain why we matched in breathing and heart rate?" Gabrielle asked.
"Yes, it does. We shared one life force. That made us one...We are one." I said.
"Are you going to fight the androids at some time?" She asked cautiously.
"You already know the answer to that one, Gabby." I answered solemnly.
"YOU CAN'T! You would surely die, Gohan! I don't think I could go on without you!" I yelled, tears streaming down my face.
"Don't cry, Gabby. We all have destinies to fulfill and I know that you are very precious to me and I know you can make it without me." Gohan said.
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!" I demanded, beginning to grow very angry.
"Gabby! You must stay together. I won't leave you, EVER." Gohan said, hugging me.
"Gohan, I love you and I don't want you to ever go fight those androids. I couldn't bear to lose you." I said.
"You won't lose me. I am not going to fight them now anyways. Don't worry." Gohan said.
"Okay. I have to get ready for a formal dinner with the Brief family. You want to come?" I asked.
"Sure! I hardly see Bulma or Trunks much. I would love to go with you." Gohan said.
"GREAT! Well, you better go home and ask your mom and get dressed, Buddy Boy." I said, poking him.
"Okay, Princess Gabrielle." He said, laughing.
"I am not royalty...yet." I said, with a glimmer in my eyes.
"Whatever you say." Gohan said.
"You better get a move on. We leave in an hour. I need to go get ready." I said, pushing him out the door. We kissed one more time and he flew off.
Things were looking so perfect and I had no doubt that my mother would let me go. I flew as fast as possible. "Where are you going in such a hurry, Gohan?" My mother asked.
"Gabrielle invited me to a dinner party with Bulma. Can I go?" I asked.
"Sure, I don't see why not." My mother said.
"Thanks mom! You're the best!" I said, hugging her.
"Have fun and be safe, Gohan." She said, looking me over. "You look so much like your father."
"Thanks, I think." I said, confused.
"Yes, Gohan. It is a compliment." My grandfather said.
"Thanks, Grandpa." I said. I walked out into the crisp air and I flew to Gabrielle's house.
"Oh, you are almost late!" Gabrielle exclaimed as I flew down.
"Almost but not quite!" I said.
"Gohan, I am glad you did come. Usually I do nothing but sit and stare! It's utterly boring. Even Trunks looks really stiff at all these dinners." Gabrielle said.
"Hmm...probably looks like his father. No matter how long Vegeta is gone, Trunks will always have a part of him." I said.
"Just like Diana who hardly knew my mother is so much like her. I guess it must work that way." Gabrielle said, taking my arm. "Come on. We must go in."
"GOHAN! I hardly expected you to be here. What a great surprise. Oh, TRUNKS! Come here!" Bulma cried as she saw me.
"What mom?" Trunks asked as he walked forward towards his mother.
"Look, Trunks. Gohan is here." Bulma said.
"GOHAN!" Trunks said, rushing towards him.
"Hey, Trunks. How you doing?" I asked.
"Great! I thought this was just a boring business dinner. They are very very boring!" Trunks said.
I smiled as I saw Gohan enjoying his time with Trunks. "What are you doing, Gabby?" My father asked.
"Just watching Gohan. I'm glad I invited him." I said.
"You seem so happy. And what luck! He knows the Briefs!" My father said.
"Yeah. Luck." I repeated. "I've been thinking about it, Daddy. I think it is time for me to go back into dance and such."
"Really? Oh, Gabrielle. You have such a beautiful voice and are a great dancer." My father said.
"Thank you. But I don't think I shall grow up to be a pop star." I said, laughing.
"No! I hope not. That would be unwise. Let's talk about this later shall we. Yes, Diana?" My father asked, since Diana was pulling on his shirt as high as she could reach, which wasn't far.
"Me hungry, Daddy!" Diana said.
"Okay, okay, Diana. Just wait." My father said.
"But I am hungry NOW!" Diana said, unlike her.
"Okay, okay." My dad said, looking around. "Ah!" He said, finding the snacking table. He gave Diana a carrot and she took it happily and ate it. She then disappeared.
"Hey, dad...where is Diana?" I asked.
"Hmm...I don't know. I thought she was playing with Kelsey." My father said.
"She was...Oh dear Kami...DIANA!!!" I said, running out of the party.
****************************GOHAN!!***********************************
*************************Hmm? What? What's wrong?**********************
************************It's Diana...she's missing***************************

I rubbed my hands together in nervousness. Where could a three year old wander off to?
