I turned around and looked one final time at Gabrielle's home. I didn't plan on coming back. I had a destiny to fulfill and I didn't want Gabrielle to be hurt. My love for her was too deep and too great for me to be selfish and try to take her life away if something were to happen to me.
Day after Day, time passes away
And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows. I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can't find
The courage to show
To letting you know
I've never felt so much love before
And once again, I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go, I will never know
What my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see, you smiling back at me
How will I let you know
If I let you go
Night after Night I hear myself say
Why can't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you
You speak to my heart
It's such a shame
We're worlds apart
But if I let you go, I will never know
What my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see, you smiling back at me
How will I let you know
If I let you go
I'm too shy to ask. I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later I got to choose
But if I let you go, I will never know
What my life would be
Holding you close to me
Will I ever see, you smiling back at me
How will I let you know
If I let you go
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
"Where's Gohan?" I asked.
"I don't know…I haven't seen him since you were talking to him." Angela said after my aunts had left.
"Hmm…that's strange. Hmm…he left without saying good night?" I asked.
"Guess so." Angela said. "Maybe he thought you had a rough night and needed a break."
"Maybe…" I said.
The Next Morning…
"Miss Gabrielle this came for you this morning." Joann said, handing me a letter.
"Who is it from?" I asked, taking the letter and opening it. It read:
My Dearest Gabrielle,
I will always love you, you must remember that but since it has been discovered that you are a princess I feel it best if you and I were no longer. It's not that I wouldn't love to be with you but I don't want you to get hurt. You deserve someone who doesn't have a lurking destiny waiting to pounce. I will always be with you, in your being.
Love Always
Gohan
"Who was it from? Angela said as I was reading it.
"Gohan." I said, falling to the ground. "NO NO NO!!!!!!" I cried.
"What's the matter Gabrielle?" My father asked.
"Gohan left me…he doesn't want to be involved with a Princess. I don't want to be a PRINCESS!!! I want Gohan!!!" I said, running to my room and locking my door.
"What on earth happened, Gohan? You keep moping about. It's making me wonder." My mother said.
"I let Gabrielle go." I said.
"You did what? Gohan, why?" My mother asked.
"Gabrielle's mother was a Princess and so is she. A princess, mom. I can't let her find out about the things I didn't do…" I said.
"Gohan, you do not still blame yourself for Krillin and Piccolo's deaths do you?" My mother asked.
"I could have saved them and yet I stood there like an inexperienced child, helpless leaving my friends for dead." I said, bitterly
"I just thought you could have had more reverence for their memory and Gabrielle then to just leave them high and dry." My mother said, walking out of the room.
"What does that mean?" I asked. Six months past before I saw Gabrielle again and the time in between was very painful and I trained harder than I ever had in my entire life.
I was at a lost of words when he left me like that but I couldn't spend my life pouting…my rage was used to practice my princessly behavior I was forced to do. I became the best and it still wasn't enough. My first ball was coming up and I had to take a date but I hadn't talked to Gohan in so long…my heart hurt deeply and I couldn't talk to him yet. But then ChiChi came to my rescue. She was tired of Gohan moping so she decided to take it into her own hands.
"Gabrielle, I will send him to this ball of yours...maybe then he will then come to his senses…he driving me crazy." ChiChi said.
"It's driving me crazy…I still don't understand…" I said.
"I don't know…but he'll be there…"ChiChi said.
"Thanks." I said.
"I always liked you, you and Gohan have something that you only find once a lifetime…" ChiChi said. She then hung up the phone. The ball was in two days.
The day of the ball was so hectic. Angela was going but she didn't have so much hanging over her head. I had my future and my true love.
"How are you holding up?" My Aunt Rochelle asked.
"Fine." I said. Then I saw him walk in and I walked up to the podium, taking the ceremonial candle. "Good evening all…I am not going to be very conventional right now but since it is Valentine's Day I have something for someone in the audience…someone I love very dearly and I didn't know how much until I lost it."
You face
I'm still not over
Your face
Headlights break through the rain
Over London's winter light
I came all the way here tonight
To look in your eyes
I came all the way here tonight
Just to see you
Your face
Holds me over
Your face
It wipes away the rain
Like a hundred summer skies
And everytime I talk to you
It's like I'm alright
And everytime I talk to you
I get a little closer to light
You are the face
That heaven shown me
When I needed someone
Someone to love
And stay
You showed me
The quiet kind of love
Behind your face
Your face
Let me show the world
Your face
All the stars and suns above
Are jealous
It's a light
You steal the sky with them
Bring it aside
You steal the sky with them
Bring it to light
'Cause you are the face
That Heaven showed me
When I needed someone
Someone to love
Your Face
You showed me
The quiet kind of love
Behind your face
Quiet kind of love
Behind your
Face
I walked off of the stage to Gohan, still holding the candle in the dimly lit room and walked towards him with tears streaming down my face.
"Gabrielle…"
I was really confused about what I had done to Gabrielle. Part of me felt that it was right. The other part was very confused. I loved her like I had never loved anyone before and yet I had let her go. Was I doing the right thing?
"Gohan get ready to go. Bulma is coming to take you to one of her balls." My mother said.
"What??" I cried.
"I felt since you weren't going to go out with Gabrielle anymore, you still needed to have a social life." My mother said.
"Fine." I grumbled. I got dressed and Bulma took me to this very fancy palace in the middle of nowhere.
"Gohan, you look very handsome." Bulma remarked.
"Where's Trunks?" I asked.
"He's at home with Karla." Bulma said.
"Oh." I said. What could I say?
"Come on cheer up Gohan. It is going to be fun!" Bulma said.
"If you are sure." I said, reluctantly.
"Oh I am." Bulma said. She drove up to the circle drive and a valet was waiting.
"How may I help you miss?" The valet asked.
"Bulma Brief. We have a special pass." Bulma said.
"Yes, yes, very good miss."
"Ready?" She asked me.
"No…but I don't think I will ever be ready." I walked into the room and it was decorated beautifully. Fit for a princess…
"Wow…they really did a nice job with the place…" Bulma commented.
Then the entire room got silent and a very familiar figure walked on the stage. "Good evening all…I am not going to be very conventional right now but since it is Valentine's Day I have something for someone in the audience…someone I love very dearly and I didn't know how much until I lost it"
I stood there amazed…the candle lit up her face in so many different ways she truly looked like an angel…and I realized at that moment I had made a terrible mistake. "Gabrielle…I am so sorry…I made a terrible mistake…I was trying to make it easier but then again it made it harder for me and you…" I said.
"Shh…don't speak…I have this announcement for all…I am…" She started.
"NO! You can't!" I blurted. I thought she was going to renounce the throne and I couldn't let her do that.
"As I was saying…I am officially going to take my place among the people of Rindoa and become Princess Gabrielle Lenore Yamato only if I can one day become Gabrielle Lenore Yamato Son." She declared. "I was supposed to be engaged but being royalty scared him away and now I had to get him back…"
Thinking how it might have been
If you had never
Walked into my life
I would have been nothing
Without you where would I be
Every moment used to feel
Like living through a
Cold and starless night
But everything is changing
Everything is feeling right
You gave me your love
Lifted me up
Now I'm looking at forever
When I never thought
I'd ever see that far
You, you're in my soul
Wherever I go
Now I know right from the start
Your love was
Written on my heart
How could I have been so blind
When you were always here
So near to me
And there is no other
Who knows me the way
I feel you do
And you were waiting all the time
For me to come around
And finally see
All the love I was missing
There you were right beside me
Always beside me
You gave me your love
Lifted me up
Now I'm looking at forever
When I never thought
I'd ever see that far
You, you're in my soul
Wherever I go
Now I know right from the start
Your love was
Written on my heart
You made it so easy
Your love brought out
The best in me
You are my light and my truth
I've found my destiny in you
You gave me your love
Lifted me up
Now I'm looking at forever
When I never thought
I'd ever see that far
You, you're in my soul
Wherever I go
Now I know right from the start
Your love was
Written on my heart
You're forever
Written on my heart
"I have a special Valentine's Day treat for you, Gohan…at least I had hoped it was a good present…I never have really celebrated Valentine's Day before. Please start, Angie." I said.
"Ready!" Angela yelled. The lights dimmed until the only light was the candle in my hand.
If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need my love, my Valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for all you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
In my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart until the end of time
You're all I need my love, my Valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
Cause all I need is you my Valentine
You're all I need my love, my Valentine
"Oh, Gabrielle, I was so wrong…I can't live this way anymore…I feel so bad for what I have put you through…part of me was sure what I was doing was right…letting you because I loved you…but I knew it was wrong…I just knew it!" Gohan said. He kissed me like he had never kissed me before…like it was something he had longed to do all his life.
"They're playing our song again!!!!" I cried.
Two very different people
Too scared to get along
Till two hearts beat together
Underneath one sun
One very special moment
Can turn a destiny
And what some would say
Could never change
Has changed for you and me
Cause its all in the way you look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are not hard to overcome
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two
Now we are one
We are two very different people
So much to overcome
So why care for one another
When there's so much to be done
Cause sometimes it's necessary
Just to look how far we've come
You could say my friend that it's the end
Or a new tale has begun
Cause its all in the way you look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are not hard to overcome
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two
Now we are one
And one moment in time
Is all the time we need
Just to make a difference
To make it better for you and me
If you just believe
Oh yeah, just open your eyes
Its all in the way you look through your eyes
And when all is said and done
All of the fear and all of the lies are not hard to overcome
It's all in the way you look at it
That makes you strong
We were two
Now we are one
We were two
Now we are one
Author's Note: Happy Valentine's Day!! This was the cutest idea when it came to me and I had to post it. I was going to make it longer but I had time constraints and could not. It is the longest chapter as it is. Please R&R. Until next Time.
