Author's Note:"Still no reviews.Oh well.I'll keep posting chapters until the last one(#40),and then I'll post the sequel,regardless of whether or not I get any reviews.Anyway,onto the chapter.Oh,and Happy Martin Luther King day.Or 'Merry Martin Luther King Day',or whatever we say at the beginning.Strange that there's 'Merry Christmas','Happy New Year',and a few other things.But what about all the other holidays?Martin Luther King Day,President's Day,Labor Day,etc....I guess it's something for people to ponder."

Chapter 3:Is It Love?

Ray's Point of View







We walked at a steady pace east.I started to get bored and took out the sword Sarah had given me,swinging it around at invisible enemies.

"You're pretty good with that.When did you learn?"Sarah asked.

"Dunno,"I replied.

"I can help you get better,"Trunks said.

"Okay,I guess,"I said.

Sarah walked over to me and did something with my hair.I growled slightly and pushed it back to the way it was.

"Hey.I was just trying to make it easier for you to get used to that orange hair.It looked like it felt strange.And what it did made you a little cuter,"she said.

I looked at her for a second,then reached up and did what she had done.I had to admit,it did feel better.And for some reason,I actually wanted her to think I was cute.

'What was that about?'Trunks thought.

I turned my head to face him,'I don't know.I just...wanna make her happy for some reason.'

'Oh...My mother told me about this once.When you really want to make a person of the opposite gender happy,it means you really like them.I think she called it love,'he thought.

I tripped over a rock and fell on my face.Sarah immediately crouched down beside me.

"You okay?"she asked.

I sat up and rubbed my nose,"Yeah...My nose broke my fall."

Trunks chuckled,'I wonder what made THAT happen?'

I punched at him,but he expertly stepped out of the way.

Sarah looked up at the sky,"It's almost night fall.We won't be able to make it to the city.Let's just find a place to rest."

"Good idea,"I said as I stood up.

"Hmm...Maybe one of those trees is connected to a cave?"Trunks pondered.

"It's not likely,but...we may as well check,"I said.



"I can't believe we found an underground cave under that tree,"I said as I fell against a wall and the ground.

Sarah sat down next to me,"So...Tired..."

She laid her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.I felt my face get hot again.

'I think she likes you,'Trunks thought as he sat down on the other side of the cave.

'I wish,'I thought,'Can I...tell you a story?'

'Sure,'he thought.

'A long time ago,there was this one girl.I could never take my eyes off of her.She was so beautiful...probably the prettiest girl in the town.Every time I was near her,I'd turn into putty.We never talked much but...I think we were friends.Even though the two of us were really young at the time,I think I loved her.If only I wasn't so shy as a kid,maybe things would be different now.It's one of the only things I remember about my past....Sorry,I've digressed a little.Anyway,I think Sarah's that girl,'I thought.

'Hmm...That's interesting.Maybe you should tell her?'

'WHAT!?No way!Uh-uh!What if she doesn't like me?'

'You never know until you try...At least,that's what my mother told me.It's your decision.I'm going to sleep.'

Trunks closed his eyes,using the rock wall behind him for support.

'Gee,thanks for the advice,'I thought sarcastically.

Sarah started to stir and opened her eyes.

"Ray,do you think you could...put your arm around me?That always made me fall asleep when we were little,"she said.

"Uhhh...O-O-O-Okay,"I stated.

I slowly put my left arm around her,feeling my face getting hotter every second.

"Thank you,Ray.You know,I've become a singer in the past ten years,"Sarah said.

"A singer?I wouldn't have guessed,"I stated.

"Yeah,I know.I guess I don't look quite the part."

'Well,whatever.I think you look beautiful,not like someone who's a singer but doesn't look like it.'

I took a moment to make sure the words I had chosen in my thoughts were right.

"Do you remember when we were little,you would always put your arm around me when I couldn't fall asleep?I'd always sneak out of my window and we would go out to the shore,then you'd put your arm around me,and I'd fall asleep."

"Really?"

She nodded,"Yeah.I think you were...cute back then."

I turned my head as I felt my face get hot.

"Oh?Are you blushing?"she asked.

"N-No,"I stuttered.

She laid her head on my chest,"Doesn't this bring back memories?"

I closed my eyes and thought for a second,"Actually,yeah it does."

'Maybe what I told Trunks wasn't entirely true,'I thought.

"Gohan...No...Androids...Must...Pay..."Trunks muttered in his sleep.

"I wonder what he's dreaming about?"Sarah wondered.

'I already know,'I thought.

Sarah soon fell asleep,and Trunks kept muttering about Androids,Gohan,and Cell.I noticed Sarah start to shiver so I took of my jacket and put it around her.Then she snuggled into my chest.I soon fell asleep,blushing of course.My dreams were weird that night.I think they were mixed with Trunks'.Regardless of the reason,I had dreams about a blonde Android and her black haired brother terrorizing my former hometown called Spyroton.They weren't far from truth,either.Except,instead of Androids,one man alone was the one who destroyed Spyroton.
