"Krillen just what is wrong with you?" Krillen woke up with a start and looked around him, he was in his home that he shared with Oolong and Master Roshi. He always told himself that he wouldn't live there long but in the end he got used to the quiet of an island that doesn't get troubled much. He sighed as he looked at them
"Nothing" he said quietly "I'm just slightly tired Master Roshi" he said, the old man spared him a long look but left it at that
"I'm not surprised" Oolong said cutting in "his snoring would keep even the dead awake if they were buried here" of course an argument ensured giving Krillen the opportunity to escape. He took off his trainers and socks and rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the cool water looking out at the beautiful scene in front of him, it was sunset and the red and pink sky settled over the shimmering ocean, the whole picture was tranquil and yet that emotion was missing in him. Instead he was full of confusions and doubts.
A wry smile came over his face, who would of thought a year ago that his love life could actually be in such a tangle, from having no girlfriend he now had one and was in love with someone else. If he didn't know any better he would think that he had turned into a player. He chuckled out loud at that comment somehow he severely doubted that that title belonged to Yamcha not himself.
He had to think it through logically. After all he had always been logical since he was younger. Marron loved him, well she loved him as much as she ever could love someone, with interest until someone else better turned up and yet at the same time she had come back to him, something she admitted to him in one of her more vulnerable times that had never happened before. He smiled; he knew why she was with him. He made her feel safe and she stopped him feeling lonely, even if there wasn't poor love and respect between them both, they still cared about each other and both benefited each other in some way and yet he knew deep down that it just wasn't enough for him.
He knew he was lucky that was a fact that he would never deny. She was beautiful and when you looked at him then he was extremely lucky. After all she did do modeling and with long green hair and blue eyes, perfect skin and soft features plus she was tall and slim it was no wonder every guy checked her out.
Yet he would rather be with someone who loved him without question. After all the one thing he always wanted was a little family of his own. He saw all his friends with families even Bulma now and yet he didn't and he had still tried it, maybe he should ask Marron to marry him, he gave a wry smile
That was until he saw 18, 3 days ago; then again one glance of her had changed all he had planned. It wasn't that he didn't want to be with Marron because he wouldn't be with her if he didn't. There was just something about 18 that made him feel different. More alive then he felt with something else. Her look with parallel to that of Marron's but different. Pale blue eyes set in a pale beautiful face with light blond haircut just beyond her chin. It was something deeper though then just her looks, there was mystery around her and he wanted to delve in and find out all there was about her, about what her life was like before she became an android and her family.
How could he do that though? He didn't know how to approach her and tell her exactly as he felt, Bulma had said to be her friend first but when he had seen her he just couldn't do it, the feelings he had was too strong and yet at the same time, when he had seen her she had looked lonely, he didn't want her to be lonely but what could he do.
He blinked as he realized night had fallen and the sky blazed with a 3rd quarter moon and stars. The water, which had been, pleasantly warm had turned freezing, and once he realized it the coolness came through in a rush. He walked out of the water and turned to the small house where the lights were on and sighed. This hadn't been the place he thought he would be at his age.
"Krillen what you doing out here" he turned to see Marron walk out a smile on her face which he returned as he picked up his shoes
"Hi sweetie" he replied as she leaned down to kiss him, the kiss sent a warmth through it as it always did but it never left him fully satisfied
"It's cold out here lets go inside" Krillen sighed
"You can sweetie I'll be in for a minute" she placed her hand across her stomach and pouted at him
"What is wrong with you Krillen you're acting weird" he frowned at her
"I'm just tired," he muttered
"So lets go in and rest, you can come back to mine if you want" he looked up in interest at her. She lived in the same city Bulma did which gave him the slight chance that he could run into 18, he bit his lip, should he do it? Marron would never know his real intention and the likely hood of her truly finding her was so slim. He smiled at her
"Ok then lets go" she jumped up and down in excitement
"We can go and have a meal, it's not as if we've done anything like that recently what do you say?" he groaned inwards, if he had a meal with her then he knew her well enough to know that it would end up her dragging him to a dance club where she would be the center of attention and he would end up being at the bar drinking watching men throw themselves at her. He had learnt it all by now, all her tricks and everything.
"Ok you stay here for a second and I'll get my coat" he walked slowly in and retrieved from under dirty clothes and placed a black shirt on, while spraying himself with spray. He walked out the door but the phone rang he stayed for a second but when he saw Master Roshi go for it he left
"Hello Master Roshi's island how can I help you" there was a long silence and then a cool woman's voice spoke
"Is Krillen there?"
"Krillen no I'm afraid he's just gone out for the night is there a message I can give him for you?" he asked, a smile on his face as he imagined her
"Just tell him I rang" the voice said, he frowned
"But what is your name young Lady?" he questioned
"Tell Krillen 18 rang him" then she hang up, Roshi placed the phone down and sat in his seat with the latest copy of playboy before he suddeningly sat up
"18 the android?" he turned round "I gotta reach Krillen"
