One day maybe

Chapter 1
Some friendly advice
Disclaimer - I don't own the characters, you all know I don't own the characters and I'm beginning to get tired off doing this at the beginning of every chapter/ story. Oh well it's the law I guess.
Author Note - This was only meant to be a short story but I kinda like the idea that's floating round my head so I'm gonna do some chapters. I haven't seen many of these and I've always been so curious how they got together so I thought I'd give it ago
Dedicated to my Brother. Yes David you are Krillen not Piccolo as you like to think but Krillen. Look at it on the bright side. You marry 18 don't you? See I thought you'd like that :0)
Right Let's go
"But where do I stand?" Krillen said turning to face Yamcha. Trunks had just left to face the darkness that still reigned where he was, but they all knew that if anyone could banish the fear and hold the androids had it was Trunks. Yamcha turned to him
"What do you mean Man?" he replied. Krillen shrugged placing his hands deep in his pockets and absently jangled the change around. He couldn't get his mind off 18
"You know with 18" he looked round the group they were with not everyone knew
"18" Yamcha said, Krillen went red as they attracted interested glances
"Keep your voice down will ya?" he demanded "Not everyone knows you know?" Yamcha clamped his hands over his mouth
"Oops sorry Krillen"
"Look I don't know what's happening you know. I can't stop thinking about her." Yamcha smiled
"I used to be the same with Bulma. You know thought about her all the time, everything she did fascinated me and kept me coming back for more" Krillen looked sympathetic
"Look Bro I'm...." Yamcha turned his gaze away from Krillen to Bulma
"Sorry? So am I. I made the mistake and I have to live with it. I took advantage of her man I thought she'd always be there and when I felt like it I could go and take her back you know. I just hadn't counted on Vegeta that's all or Bulma falling in love with him" he looked down and Krillen sighed, they all knew about Yamcha's record of cheating. He was personally surprised she had taken so long in moving on but perhaps moving onto Vegeta was a bit extreme. He turned his gaze to look at the pair, although there was a distance between them it was clear they were close even though Vegeta would rather die then admit it. Krillen had an idea that deep down Vegeta loved Bulma. He sighed even Vegeta had found some happiness. Why couldn't he.
"But with 18...."
"Look Krillen I told you before. The Chick digs you. Just work gradually on it earn her trust and so on and trust me from experience never take advantage of her of take her trust for guarentee that just leads to pain Trust me on that"
"I don't know where she is though" Yamcha laughed
"You'll find her Krillen and you will get her I promise you that" he shook his head doubt on his face
"I don't know Man you look at her and then you look at me" Yamcha shook his head
"Krillen you have a knack at getting beautiful girl remember Marron?" Krillen nodded
"What about her?" he asked frowning, he hadn't thought about her since this all started
"Think how gorgeous she was and the fact that if you asked she would of married you. 18 is way more sensible then that she wouldn't let a good catch like you get away," Yamcha said.
"You think?" Krillen replied
"If you don't believe me ask Bulma" Krillen moved back
"Are you kidding me Bulma you have to be joking" he put his hand over his mouth as he realised how loudly he said that. Bulma was staring at them and walking over to them a determined look on her face, Trunks was still with his Nan. From where he leaned against the tree Vegeta watched the scene unfold with unblinking dark eyes.
"Great going Krillen" Yamcha said pushing him in front of him
"Hey...Hey what are you... Hi Bulma" he changed his tone to a happy one, she tilted her head at them and watched them through serious blue eyes
"Hey Guys why did you just call my name Krillen? Yamcha?" she crossed her arms and stood waiting
"Well you see it's quite simple and er Krillen's gonna tell you aren't you Krillen" Yamcha said with a grin as he rubbed his head. Krillen looked at him darkly
"Thanks Bro" he said he turned to Bulma "Well you see Yamcha was just saying that.... What was it again you were saying Yamcha" Yamcha's face dropped
"Well I was..." Bulma's face was growing darker and darker as they spoke
"SPIT IT OUT GUYS" she yelled finally, the yell set off Trunks "Now look what you've done you idiots" she yelled at them "You made Trunks cry. You would deserve it if I set Vegeta on you" they both turned to looked at Vegeta who had suddenly stood straighter a smirk coming to his face as he cracked his knuckles "But I'll let you off if you tell me what you were saying and you have 10 seconds 10.... 9..."
"I think she's serious," Krillen said
"8..... 7...."
"I think you're right" Yamcha added nodding his head
"6..... 5...."
"I think we should tell what do you think?" Krillen asked swallowing hard
"4.... 3...." Vegeta pushed himself away from the tree and began walking towards them. He had been waiting to beat Yamcha for ages and now he was about to get his chance
"You're right," Yamcha added stepping back from the advancing figure. Bulma watched them hand on hip
"2.... 1...."
"Krillen loves Android 18 and wanted advice and I said he should go to you Ma'am" Yamcha stopped short of saluting her. Just as Vegeta raised his fist Bulma spoke after digesting the news
"You can't hit them Vegeta they did the time limit" Vegeta growled something about not caring. Bulma turned to him "You'll care tonight if you do I promise you that" Vegeta hesitated then dropped his fist, turning his back on them all he simply walked away heading either to the gravity room or the Kitchen at that point they didn't care
"Phew thank God he's gone" Yamcha said, Bulma turned to him
"You can go now Yamcha leave it in the hands of a professional"
"Where I don't see one" Yamcha said laughing at his own joke the other 2 just stared at him
"You know Vegeta hasn't gone that far one little yell should do it" she opened her mouth but Yamcha had taken to the air
"Gotta go.... I think I hear puar call Bye" then he flew off as if he was being chased by hounds, they watched him leave in amusement before Bulma turned her back on the scene
"Follow me Krillen" Bulma said glancing over her shoulder and led him towards the house
"Oh man I'm in for it now" he muttered. As he thought Vegeta was in the kitchen with Bulma's mum ignoring her while gobbling his food down, he glanced up as Bulma entered then his gaze went to Krillen and stayed there, glaring at him, Krillen swallowed thankful when they were out. She took him to the living room and then sat down
"So you're in love with 18 are you?" she said softly. He nodded looking miserable
"Yes" she smiled and looked down
"It's hard when you fall in love with the wrong type of person isn't it? You go through all the worry of it, wondering what your friend think until one day you wake up and realise that if they weren't with you then you wouldn't be whole" Krillen shrugged
"Something like that"
"Welcome to my life" she said, he nodded
"I thought it was hard for you" it was her turn to nod
"More than you know" she muttered then she looked up "So tell me Krillen what has happened anything?" he went through it all explaining how he felt when she was absorbed, the kiss she gave him before that. Her reaction when she woke up and what she had told him up at Kami's place though now it was Dende's place. Bulma listened thoughtful throughout and when he finished she sat back and was silent, he sat quietly till she eventually spoke "Well Krillen I think she may like you. Or is beginning to like you and as much as I hate to say it you need to follow Yamcha's advice. It seems to me that she has nothing left. She doesn't know where her twin, the only person she could count on, is gone. She's not likely to trust anyone easily you Gotta remember that"
"So what do I do?" he said resting his head in his hand "Tell me Bulma" she sighed
"You have to find her Krillen she already knows how you feel so work on it, she trusted you once it seemed she can trust you again just don't blow it ok. Be her friend first the rest can come later ok?" he nodded and smiled
"Thanks Bulma I don't know what I would do without you sometimes" she smiled brightly at him
"That's what friends are for Krillen just teach her that, when she comes to the group, you'll find that everyone will treat her fine and if they don't they'll answer to me ok" he nodded
"I better go. After everything I been through I need a longer rest then I thought" she nodded
"I'll see you soon come back and tell me how it goes ok" he nodded
"Right" he stood there building his courage up, Bulma laughed
"If you don't want to face Vegeta you can fly through the window this one time Krillen" he grinned as he went red
"Cheers" he opened it "I'll tell you how it goes. Thanks again Bulma say bye to baby Trunks for me" then he flew out the window hearing Bulma's faint goodbye after him. He flew towards the direction of Master Roshi's house where he lived. An image of 18 came to his mind and he nodded speaking softly to himself "All I have to do is find her but where do I start looking?"
