Disclaimer: I do no own Dragonball Z.
(A/N): Hey! I am finally updating a chapter! After weeks of a combination of severe writer's block and busyness, I am putting up my new chapter. I would like to take this time to apologize for the long wait. You can kick me for doing that. Anyways, those who wanted to see Kia appear; you get to see her in this chapter.
I would also like to again say that I do own David and Kia, and anything that has to do with those two. Anyways... On with the story!! Also, please read and review!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Recap of the Last Chapter:
David changed into the clothes, which were a perfect fit, then crawled into the sleeping bag that had been laid out for him. Goten's sleeping bag was next to his. Gohan had a bed that he slept in, which neither David nor Goten minded. All of them talked for a little bit before going to sleep. Goten had a question he wanted to ask David.
"David?" he asked, looking over at him.
"Yes Goten?" David replied.
"What did your mother look like?"
David remained quiet for a second, staring at the ceiling before he spoke. "She was a very beautiful woman. She had black hair that had tight curls, which went down to her waist. She had baby blue eyes, which I have inherited from her. I was also told that she had a very sweet, yet spunky personality."
David remained quiet, which made Goten worry a little.
"David, did I make you sad?" he asked, feeling bad.
"No," David replied, looking over to Goten.
"You didn't make me sad Goten. In fact, you made me happy. I like to remember her."
"Oh... okay," Goten said, not really knowing what to say next.
"Goodnight Goten," David said as he closed his eyes.
"Goodnight David," said Goten as he too, closed his eyes.
Gohan was listening in the whole time, but didn't say anything. He sighed to himself when Goten and David said their goodnights, and went to sleep, remembering his father.
Meanwhile, further away, a dark figure walked out onto a tall cliff overlooking the forest where the Son's lived.
"There you are David," the dark figure said.
"You were hard to find - but I found you. Get ready, because the happiness you found, won't last for long."
The dark figure laughed evilly and walked away.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
David awoke the next morning to the sounds of birds chirping and the sun peaking through the window. He yawned and blinked, and looked around to see that Gohan and Goten were still asleep. He then looked at the clock, which showed 6:00 a.m. David decided to get up, quietly leaving the room so as not to disturb Gohan and Goten. Leaving the room, and still in his pajamas, David walked downstairs and heard, what was more than likely Chichi. It smelled like she was cooking something, and it smelled good. David walked into the kitchen and was greeted by Chichi who was busy cooking.
"Good morning David," Chichi said as she laid a dozen pancakes on a plate, while cooking some more.
"Good morning Mrs. Son," said David.
"How did you sleep?" she asked, flipping the pancakes.
"I slept quite well. Thanks for asking." David replied.
"Gohan and Goten are still asleep?"
"Yeah, they are. Do you need any help?" he asked, watching her put another load of pancakes on a plate.
"No, I'm fine. I also wanted to let you know that I washed your clothes, and I want you to take a shower since I doubt you have taken one for a few days."
"Thanks, I know I need one."
"Your clean clothes are in the bathroom, and you'll find a towel and a washcloth with them," she said as she put some bacon on a frying pan.
"Wow, thanks!" David exclaimed.
"But don't think I'm going to do this all the time. I'm only doing this until you are familiar with the house. Then you can get your own towel and washcloth. I will, more than likely, take care of your clothes though."
"Uh... okay," was all David could really say, standing there rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, don't just stand there. Go take your shower before I hit you over the head with a frying pan!" Chichi demanded as she turned away from the frying pan and looked at him.
"Yes ma'am!" David said, as he turned to walk away.
He came back a few seconds later though because he forgot to ask for one thing. "Uh, Mrs. Son?" he asked.
"What is it David," Chichi asked, carrying a plate of bacon to the table.
"Do you have any gel and a comb?"
"They're in the bathroom," she replied, flipping some more bacon she was cooking.
"Oh, and your shoes and socks are over there by the couch," she added.
"Thanks!" David exclaimed, as he took off to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, David found his clothes, folded in a pile on the bathroom counter, with the towel and washcloth next to them. He looked around in the bathroom, and noticed that it was actually a nice size. Sure, it wasn't luxuriously big, but it was not a small one either. David found it to be quite nice. He undressed and hoped into the shower. The warm water felt good on his body. He looked at the choices of shampoo, and finally decided on one that had a citrus smell. "Who cares if the bees come after me," he thought.
Around fifteen minutes later, David emerged from the shower and dried himself off.
"Oh, I forgot to ask Gohan's mom for underwear," he thought, as he went to look through the pile of clothes.
Fortunately, he found some that Chichi had given him. They were in a new package, with a note that said,
David,
I was going to give these to Gohan, but decided that you would need them instead. I hope you like them.
Sincerely, Chichi
David opened the package of underwear and pulled a pair out. He sweat- dropped when he saw what was on the back of them.
"Teddy bears?!" David exclaimed to himself.
"I guess I can't do anything about it though," he said, shaking his head as he reluctantly put them on.
He put on his blue jeans and black shirt, which he allowed to go over his jeans. He then put on his 'Orange Star High School' badge that the school had made the students wear. Searching around David found the comb and gel that Chichi had told him were in the bathroom. Wiping the steam off the mirror, David looked at his hair. Unlike Gohan, his hair didn't naturally stand up. Drying off his hair a little more, David put the gel in his hair and combed it back. He emerged from the bathroom, after cleaning up his mess in the bathroom, and walked towards the stairs. He heard the alarm go off in Gohan's room and looked in to see Gohan stirring. He didn't see Goten, but figured that Goten was already downstairs. David then walked downstairs.
Goten, David, and Gohan were sitting at the table as Chichi laid the rest of the food down before sitting down to eat.
"Yay! Food!" Goten exclaimed, drooling over the meal set before him.
"This looks good mom! Thanks!" said Gohan.
"Yes, thank you Mrs. Son," David said, as Goten dove into the food.
Gohan glared at Goten, reminding him of what he forgot. "Oh, thanks for the food mom," Goten said, grinning widely while rubbing the back of his neck.
"You're all welcome," Chichi said.
Within seconds, Gohan and Goten started grabbing their food. Chichi and David had to grab theirs before it would all get eaten by Gohan and Goten. There was a lot of food on that table, which was all eaten. Most of the food was eaten by Gohan and Goten though.
"Wow Goten! You eat more than Gohan!" David exclaimed.
"He he he he... guess I was hungry," Goten replied, grinning sheepishly.
David couldn't help but chuckle.
After breakfast, David went upstairs and helped clean up Gohan's room. He got his school supplies together and got ready to leave. School was to start in half an hour and he wanted to get there early. He and Gohan walked downstairs and said their goodbyes to Goten and Chichi.
"Bye David! Bye Gohan," Goten said, waving to them.
"Bye Goten! Bye mom," Gohan said, waving back.
David too, waved and said, "Goodbye you Mrs. Son. See you later Goten."
Gohan was the first to take off to the skies, with David following close behind, racing each other on the way.
Both David and Gohan made it to school without incident. Gohan had suggested that they both fly into town as Saiyaman and Phantom Elie so they wouldn't give away their secrets. They didn't have any run-ins with Videl either, which Gohan was really happy about. He didn't want have to start the day of school trying to explain why he and David had decided to leave at the last second. As they touched down on the roof, Gohan and David glanced around to make sure no one was there to see them change. When they were fully satisfied that no one was there, they changed back into their normal school clothes and went downstairs to first period.
School went by a little slow for Gohan and David. David was waiting for school to end so he could meet Kia again. He was really looking forward to spending some time with her this afternoon. Gohan's day, on the other hand, went by slow because Videl would not stop interrogating him about Saiyaman and the incident in which he and David ran away. He and David tried to explain with a lousy excuse, but Videl wouldn't buy it, though Erasa and Sharpner seemed to.
Finally, the last bell signaled the end of the school day as the teacher finished up by telling the students what their homework would be. All of the teenagers filtered through the halls as they went through their lockers and then left to go do whatever they were planning on doing. Gohan, David, Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa decided that they would meet at the entrance of the school again, and try to do something without the same incident of the disappearing act of Gohan and David.
"Okay! So we'll meet at the entrance and go to get a burger, as long Gohan and David don't pull what they did yesterday," Videl said, glaring at both Gohan and David.
"No... we won't disappear this time," Gohan said, grinning sheepishly.
"I'll make sure I don't run away this time," David said, smirking slightly.
"Good! Then it's settled!" Videl said, finalizing the agreement.
"Maybe I can sit next to David!" Erasa exclaimed.
David sweat-dropped when she said that. "Oh joy!" he sarcastically said to himself.
"I liked it better without you there," Sharpner said, running his hand through his blonde hair.
"Be nice Sharpner!" Erasa snapped.
"Yeah, whatever," replied Sharpner, rolling his eyes.
David reached his locker, but noticed that Kia wasn't there. He hoped that he hadn't missed her and decided to wait. He looked around and noticed that the others had disappeared already. "Wow! They're gone already?" he thought to himself.
"How is it, I, though faster than them with the exception of Gohan, always end up having them leave before me? Do they not go to their lockers maybe? Or is it some unexplained phenomenon?"
David's thoughts were interrupted when someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to see Kia smiling brightly at him.
"Hey there!" she exclaimed staring into David's eyes.
"Hi!" he replied.
"I was hoping I didn't miss you," he added.
"No, you didn't. I just need to get into my locker and get a few things," Kia said, as David stepped aside so she could open her locker.
Kia walked over and, instead of opening up her locker, she opened up David's.
"Hey! That's breaking and entering," he playfully protested.
"I told you that I now had access to steal your things in your locker," Kia replied, smirking.
David also smirked and then reached over and opened Kia's locker. "Oh! You're one to talk about breaking into lockers," Kia retorted.
David smirked widely as she this. "Do on to others as you want them to do on to you."
"You must have seen my combination number huh?" she said, crossing her arms.
"You can say that," David said, reaching into his locker, grabbing a few things.
"I guess I'm going to have to change my locker too, huh?" Kia said, as she too, grabbed some things out of her locker.
"Maybe," David replied, finishing up and closing his locker.
"Or we can call it a deadlock and leave the other one's locker alone," he added.
"Hmm... sounds tempting, but I like the idea of breaking into your locker better," Kia said as she closed her locker and grinned at David.
Both teenagers were silent for a little bit before David spoke up again.
"Hey, I don't know if you're doing anything today, but do you want to come along and join my friends and I to go get a burger?"
Kia's eyes looked towards the ground. "I'm sorry David, but I'm busy today. Can we do that another time?"
David's shoulders sagged a little in disappointment. "Yeah, sure. We can find another time if you want."
Kia's eyes looked back at David's eyes as she giggled. "I was only playing with you David. Of course I would like to go with you and your friends."
David perked up as he heard these words. "You mean you'll go?" he asked.
"Uh... yeah... that is what I said didn't I?" replied Kia, arching one of her eyebrows.
"Yeah... you did, didn't you?" David grinned, rubbing the back of his neck, feeling a little dumb.
Both Kia and David smiled at each other for a little while before David spoke up. "Well, I guess we should get going. My friends might be wondering where I am," he said.
"Okay," Kia simply said, nodding her head.
"You got everything you need?" he asked
"Yep," Kia replied with a bright smile.
"Good."
And with that David walked towards the entrance of the school with Kia by his side.
David reached the entrance of the school where Gohan, Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa were.
As soon as he opened the door, Videl asked, "What took you so lon-" but stopped when she saw the girl who came out as David held the door open for her.
"Sorry it took so long guys, but I invited someone along with us if that's okay," David explained.
"Sure, she can hang with us David," Videl replied.
"You can hang out with me babe," Sharpner said as he moved in fast and put his arm around Kia's waist.
David was a bit angry when Sharpner made this move and wanted to kill him for doing it, but refrained himself.
"Look Sharpner," David began.
"Look. David asked me to come along, and I would like to stay with him," Kia cut in, smiling to David who smiled back in relief.
She then removed herself from Sharpner's grasp on her and walked over to David and held onto his arm, which caused him to blush slightly.
"Why do you prefer the Geek over me?" Sharpner asked, upset that he had been rejected.
"Because unlike you, he has a future," Kia retorted.
Videl and Erasa both gasped and then began giggling. "You said it!" Videl exclaimed.
"What?! Why I... Argh!" was all Sharpner could say as he cocked his head to the side.
Videl and Erasa giggled again, finding it funny to see Sharpner get what he deserves.
"Well, we better get going if we're going to eat," Videl said.
"Do you have any money to buy a meal Kia?" Erasa asked.
Kia began to speak when David interrupted. "I'll take care of her," he said, as he nodded to Kia, who smiled at him.
"Wow, you actually have some money today David," Videl smirked.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that," David replied.
"Let's get going then," Videl said as she started to walk off.
She stopped when she saw Gohan staring at Kia. He didn't have his mouth hanging open, but stared at her. This made Videl a little jealous.
"Wow! David found someone that quickly huh? I think Kia is quite a catch for him," Gohan thought as he stared at Kia and David.
No one else really noticed Gohan staring, except for Videl.
"Why is Gohan staring at Kia? What makes him think that she is prettier than me?" she thought.
Then her eyes widened. "Did I just think that? Wait a minute! Am I being jealous? Do I actually care for Gohan?"
Videl didn't notice that everyone was now staring at her. It wasn't until Gohan waved his hand in front of her face did she come out of her thoughts.
"Uh... Videl. Are you okay?" Gohan asked, arching an eyebrow while waving his hand in front of her face.
"Uh... yeah. I'm fine," she replied, shaking her head as she came out of her thoughts.
"Are you sure?" David asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I was just remembering that I had to talk to my father about something he was supposed to do," Videl lied.
"Yeah, okay," Gohan said as he grinned widely.
Everyone one else just looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Videl said, as she started walking away.
"Let's get going!"
With that, left for the burger place to go eat.
David and Kia had a good time with the rest of the group and were able to talk about the many things they like to do for fun, what they like to wear, etc. Everyone got to know Kia as they talked to her. Kia and David were able to find the many things they like and don't like. Kia was also amazed to see Gohan eat 10 double cheeseburgers, with 10 fries on the side. Everyone had a good time, but with all good times, it ended, and everyone had to go home. They had school to go to the next day, and they had to do homework. Videl jumped in her copper jet and took off, while Sharpner popped out his car and drove Erasa home. Gohan said that he would just catch the bus home, and walked off leaving David and Kia alone with the setting sun.
David and Kia just stood there looking at the ground and shuffling their feet for a few moments before speaking.
"Soooo..." David said, breaking the silence.
"Shall I walk you home?" he asked.
"Sure you can. My house is about six blocks from here anyway." Kia replied, with a smile.
"Lead the way," David said as he motioned for her to go first.
"Thank you," she said, with a bright smile.
Both of them began walking towards Kia's home, talking on the way.
"So, where are you from?" Kia asked.
"I'm from another part of the world actually. It's a quaint little city called Perris. I'm more visiting here for now, especially since my other school is on vacation."
"Why would you want to go to school when your own is on vacation?"
"I have my reasons," David replied, looking up at the sky.
"How long have you lived here?" David asked, looking down from the sky at Kia.
"All my life. I grew up in this town, and continue to live in it, obviously. What about you?"
"I've lived on Earth practically all my life," David said, as he put his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Mean by what?"
"What do you mean by you've 'lived on Earth practically all your life?'"
David instantly diverted his eyes from the sky and looked at Kia, sweat dropping.
"Stupid David! Really stupid!" "How am going to get out of this?" he thought to himself.
"Well, a lot of kids back in my old school liked to pick on me about being from another world. I was just playing around, that's all," David explained, putting his hand behind his head.
"Well, I figured that much," Kia said, smiling.
"But seriously, how long have you lived in Perris?"
"All my life," David lied.
David hated to lie, but he just couldn't let it be known about himself. Not yet at least. He and Kia continued talking as they reached her block. Walking up the walkway, they both stopped a few feet from the porch.
"Thanks for taking me out with your friends," Kia said, looking into David's eyes.
Those baby blue eyes were warm and friendly, and they seemed to pierce right through her.
"Thanks for coming. It wouldn't have been as fun without you," David replied, looking into Kia's eyes.
Her emerald green eyes were so beautiful. They shined brightly, and showed caring, kindness, and joy.
Both stood there staring in each other's eyes for a few minutes, until David spoke. "I really enjoyed tonight. Maybe we can do it again?"
"How about tomorrow?" Kia said, smiling widely.
"Then I will see you tomorrow," David said, smiling.
Unexpectedly, Kia reached up and kissed David on the cheek. "Bye!" she said as she walked toward her door opening it.
"Bye!" David said, in a dazed state.
She smiled as she closed her door. David started to walk off, rubbing his cheek where Kia had kissed it. Making sure no one was looking, David took to the skies, as the sky grew darker.
The sky was now in it's twilight as David flew towards Gohan's house. Thinking about the wonderful time that he had with Kia, David rubbed his cheek again. Suddenly, out of nowhere, David was struck hard in his face. Caught off guard by the attack, David began falling to the ground. Unable to recover, David hit the ground hard, causing a small crater to form. A little dazed, David stood up and looked for his attacker, his lip bleeding. A figure came down from the sky and land on his feet. David's eyes widened in shock when he got a good look at him.
"It's you!" he exclaimed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
(A/N): There! Done with this chapter. Who is it that attacked David? You'll find out in the next chapter. Hopefully, I will be able to get that up soon enough. Also, to let you know, there will be more of Kia in later chapters. Until then, read and review!! Pretty please??

"I was hoping I didn't miss you," he added.
"No, you didn't. I just need to get into my locker and get a few things," Kia said, as David stepped aside so she could open her locker.
Kia walked over and, instead of opening up her locker, she opened up David's.
"Hey! That's breaking and entering," he playfully protested.
"I told you that I now had access to steal your things in your locker," Kia replied, smirking.
David also smirked and then reached over and opened Kia's locker. "Oh! You're one to talk about breaking into lockers," Kia retorted.
David smirked widely as she this. "Do on to others as you want them to do on to you."
"You must have seen my combination number huh?" she said, crossing her arms.
"You can say that," David said, reaching into his locker, grabbing a few things.
"I guess I'm going to have to change my locker too, huh?" Kia said, as she too, grabbed some things out of her locker.
"Maybe," David replied, finishing up and closing his locker.
"Or we can call it a deadlock and leave the other one's locker alone," he added.
"Hmm... sounds tempting, but I like the idea of breaking into your locker better," Kia said as she closed her locker and grinned at David.
Both teenagers were silent for a little bit before David spoke up again.
"Hey, I don't know if you're doing anything today, but do you want to come along and join my friends and I to go get a burger?"
Kia's eyes looked towards the ground. "I'm sorry David, but I'm busy today. Can we do that another time?"
David's shoulders sagged a little in disappointment. "Yeah, sure. We can find another time if you want."
Kia's eyes looked back at David's eyes as she giggled. "I was only playing with you David. Of course I would like to go with you and your friends."
David perked up as he heard these words. "You mean you'll go?" he asked.
"Uh... yeah... that is what I said didn't I?" replied Kia, arching one of her eyebrows.
"Yeah... you did, didn't you?" David grinned, rubbing the back of his neck, feeling a little dumb.
Both Kia and David smiled at each other for a little while before David spoke up. "Well, I guess we should get going. My friends might be wondering where I am," he said.
"Okay," Kia simply said, nodding her head.
"You got everything you need?" he asked
"Yep," Kia replied with a bright smile.
"Good."
And with that David walked towards the entrance of the school with Kia by his side.
David reached the entrance of the school where Gohan, Videl, Sharpner, and Erasa were.
As soon as he opened the door, Videl asked, "What took you so lon-" but stopped when she saw the girl who came out as David held the door open for her.
"Sorry it took so long guys, but I invited someone along with us if that's okay," David explained.
"Sure, she can hang with us David," Videl replied.
"You can hang out with me babe," Sharpner said as he moved in fast and put his arm around Kia's waist.
David was a bit angry when Sharpner made this move and wanted to kill him for doing it, but refrained himself.
"Look Sharpner," David began.
"Look. David asked me to come along, and I would like to stay with him," Kia cut in, smiling to David who smiled back in relief.
She then removed herself from Sharpner's grasp on her and walked over to David and held onto his arm, which caused him to blush slightly.
"Why do you prefer the Geek over me?" Sharpner asked, upset that he had been rejected.
"Because unlike you, he has a future," Kia retorted.
Videl and Erasa both gasped and then began giggling. "You said it!" Videl exclaimed.
"What?! Why I... Argh!" was all Sharpner could say as he cocked his head to the side.
Videl and Erasa giggled again, finding it funny to see Sharpner get what he deserves.
"Well, we better get going if we're going to eat," Videl said.
"Do you have any money to buy a meal Kia?" Erasa asked.
Kia began to speak when David interrupted. "I'll take care of her," he said, as he nodded to Kia, who smiled at him.
"Wow, you actually have some money today David," Videl smirked.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that," David replied.
"Let's get going then," Videl said as she started to walk off.
She stopped when she saw Gohan staring at Kia. He didn't have his mouth hanging open, but stared at her. This made Videl a little jealous.
"Wow! David found someone that quickly huh? I think Kia is quite a catch for him," Gohan thought as he stared at Kia and David.
No one else really noticed Gohan staring, except for Videl.
"Why is Gohan staring at Kia? What makes him think that she is prettier than me?" she thought.
Then her eyes widened. "Did I just think that? Wait a minute! Am I being jealous? Do I actually care for Gohan?"
Videl didn't notice that everyone was now staring at her. It wasn't until Gohan waved his hand in front of her face did she come out of her thoughts.
"Uh... Videl. Are you okay?" Gohan asked, arching an eyebrow while waving his hand in front of her face.
"Uh... yeah. I'm fine," she replied, shaking her head as she came out of her thoughts.
"Are you sure?" David asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure. I was just remembering that I had to talk to my father about something he was supposed to do," Videl lied.
"Yeah, okay," Gohan said as he grinned widely.
Everyone one else just looked at each other and shrugged.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Videl said, as she started walking away.
"Let's get going!"
With that, left for the burger place to go eat.
David and Kia had a good time with the rest of the group and were able to talk about the many things they like to do for fun, what they like to wear, etc. Everyone got to know Kia as they talked to her. Kia and David were able to find the many things they like and don't like. Kia was also amazed to see Gohan eat 10 double cheeseburgers, with 10 fries on the side. Everyone had a good time, but with all good times, it ended, and everyone had to go home. They had school to go to the next day, and they had to do homework. Videl jumped in her copper jet and took off, while Sharpner popped out his car and drove Erasa home. Gohan said that he would just catch the bus home, and walked off leaving David and Kia alone with the setting sun.
David and Kia just stood there looking at the ground and shuffling their feet for a few moments before speaking.
"Soooo..." David said, breaking the silence.
"Shall I walk you home?" he asked.
"Sure you can. My house is about six blocks from here anyway." Kia replied, with a smile.
"Lead the way," David said as he motioned for her to go first.
"Thank you," she said, with a bright smile.
Both of them began walking towards Kia's home, talking on the way.
"So, where are you from?" Kia asked.
"I'm from another part of the world actually. It's a quaint little city called Perris. I'm more visiting here for now, especially since my other school is on vacation."
"Why would you want to go to school when your own is on vacation?"
"I have my reasons," David replied, looking up at the sky.
"How long have you lived here?" David asked, looking down from the sky at Kia.
"All my life. I grew up in this town, and continue to live in it, obviously. What about you?"
"I've lived on Earth practically all my life," David said, as he put his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Mean by what?"
"What do you mean by you've 'lived on Earth practically all your life?'"
David instantly diverted his eyes from the sky and looked at Kia, sweat dropping.
"Stupid David! Really stupid!" "How am going to get out of this?" he thought to himself.
"Well, a lot of kids back in my old school liked to pick on me about being from another world. I was just playing around, that's all," David explained, putting his hand behind his head.
"Well, I figured that much," Kia said, smiling.
"But seriously, how long have you lived in Perris?"
"All my life," David lied.
David hated to lie, but he just couldn't let it be known about himself. Not yet at least. He and Kia continued talking as they reached her block. Walking up the walkway, they both stopped a few feet from the porch.
"Thanks for taking me out with your friends," Kia said, looking into David's eyes.
Those baby blue eyes were warm and friendly, and they seemed to pierce right through her.
"Thanks for coming. It wouldn't have been as fun without you," David replied, looking into Kia's eyes.
Her emerald green eyes were so beautiful. They shined brightly, and showed caring, kindness, and joy.
Both stood there staring in each other's eyes for a few minutes, until David spoke. "I really enjoyed tonight. Maybe we can do it again?"
"How about tomorrow?" Kia said, smiling widely.
"Then I will see you tomorrow," David said, smiling.
Unexpectedly, Kia reached up and kissed David on the cheek. "Bye!" she said as she walked toward her door opening it.
"Bye!" David said, in a dazed state.
She smiled as she closed her door. David started to walk off, rubbing his cheek where Kia had kissed it. Making sure no one was looking, David took to the skies, as the sky grew darker.
The sky was now in it's twilight as David flew towards Gohan's house. Thinking about the wonderful time that he had with Kia, David rubbed his cheek again. Suddenly, out of nowhere, David was struck hard in his face. Caught off guard by the attack, David began falling to the ground. Unable to recover, David hit the ground hard, causing a small crater to form. A little dazed, David stood up and looked for his attacker, his lip bleeding. A figure came down from the sky and land on his feet. David's eyes widened in shock when he got a good look at him.
"It's you!" he exclaimed.
