"18!" Vegeta hurried down the hallway after her. "Hey, hold on a sec would ya?" He put his hand on her shoulder and she stopped walking.

"What do you want?" Her voice was cold and annoyed.

"Instead of going to lunch in the cafeteria, let's go outside."

18 turned and looked at him. "Why should I go with you?"

"There's something I want to talk to you about. After that, I won't bother you any more."

"Swear?"

"Swear!"

18 sighed and nodded, "Ok, let's get this over with." She followed him outside and to the quad. They sat down on a two-foot tall brick wall that was surrounding a large tree.

"Look 18, I know you're mad at me-"

"Pissed."

"Ok. . .Pissed at me. But I want to make it up to you. I've been thinking how I should since yesterday then I saw this flyer taped to the wall next to one of my classes. There's this dance on Friday."

". . .A dance so early in the school year?"

"Yeah well our principal is weird."

". . ."

"I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go with me."

"To the dance?"

"Yeah. . .I know school events are kind of lame but we can go out somewhere afterwards."

". . ." 18 looked at him with her ice-blue eyes and smiled slightly. ". . .Alright."

"Really?!"

"Yeah. But if you screw anything else up then don't even think of getting me out on another date."

"But Chichi-"

"No buts Goku! I'm taking you shopping for the dance."

Goku sighed and looked down, "Why can't I just wear my own clo-" The look on Chichi's face made him shut up.

"So Bulma, are you going to the dance?" Krillin asked her, trying to sound enthusiastic.

"As student Vice President, I have to. . .Though I'd rather not. How bout you?"

"Nah. . .I don't have a date."

"Please come. . ."

Krillin looked up at her curiously and set his fork down. "What?"

"I don't want to be the only one there without a date. We could just sit in a corner and talk."

". . .I don't know."

"Please Krillin."

Krillin looked into her eyes and cursed at himself mentally for being such a sucker for sad women. "Alright Bulma."

"Great! Thanks Krillin!"

Krillin looked down at his food and sighed. ~I wonder where 18 is~

As if on queue, Goku looked around and said rather loudly, "Where are 18 and Vegeta?"

Krillin looked around frantically. "Oh no, Vegeta's gone too?! That means- " He stopped and saw that the others were staring at him.

"That means what?" 17 asked with a wide grin.

"Nothing!" Krillin looked down and blushed. ~She's probably with Vegeta. . . What does she see in that guy. . .I guess it's cause he's cool and handsome. . .A girl like her wouldn't want a guy like me even if we were the last two people on earth!~

"Earth to Krillin. . ." Goku poked Krillin in the head a few times.

"Ah!" Krillin jumped back and fell out of his seat.

A wide-eyed Bulma helped him up. "What were you thinking about?"

Krillin took his seat and quickly shook his head. "Nothing! I just sorta spaced out I guess."

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes, yes I'm fine. Thank you."

The bell suddenly rang and the five of them got up, put their trays away, and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Don't get in trouble in your next class Goku." Chichi kissed him on the cheek then went her separate way.

"Heh." Goku rubbed the back of his head and waved. "I'll see you guys later." He slowly walked off in the opposite direction that Chichi went and he looked as if the world was coming to an end.

Krillin and Bulma walked together outside, towards the A wing. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Krillin noticed Vegeta and 18 walking towards them, hand in hand. He saw 18 let go of him and give him a quick hug before hurrying towards Krillin and Bulma.

Bulma smiled, "Hey 18, we missed you at lunch today."

18 smiled a little.

Krillin noticed that she was blushing slightly. Blushing and smiling. . .He thought it was a bit out of character for 18, despite the fact that he hadn't known her for very long.
