So, here is the next chapter. Thanks for all your encouragement!*sweat drop* Please review when you are finished reading. That would make me very happy. ^.^

" Vegeta? Is that you?" I see a faint blur of Vegeta in the distance.

" Yes." Is all I hear, but that is enough.

I smile and run towards him. My love leaps into my arms as tears build up behind my eyes. I let the tears fall as I kiss his cheeks and his nose repeatedly. I am so excited to see him.. It feels like it has been so long.

" I missed you so much.." I sigh.

" I missed you too. I am so glad to see you," He says. His voice still sounds distant.

I kiss him and slowly stroke his hair. I run my hand over his sides and his back. He feels so real. But is he? Could I really be in a place with him?

He kisses my lips and holds me tight. Don't let go.. Don't leave me again... He pulls back and stares in my eyes.

" You haven't changed a bit. You are still a handsome young saiyan." He smirks.

" You too." I feel at loss for words.

He takes my hand and walks with me. I don't know where we are, and I don't bother to ask. I tell him everything that happened while we were apart. He smiles and looks so happy. I am glad.

I put an arm over his shoulder and sit down. We are on the beach now. How did we get here? O well. I hold him close as we watch the sun set. It was a beautiful sight. I am so glad to be watching it with him.

I kiss him on the forehead, and he follows by kissing my neck. I have waited so long to get close to him again. He pulls off my shirt with wanting and I lean him down in the sand. Like old times. I kiss him again, and his hot tongue reaches into my mouth.

We kiss for a moment, and then I lean back, prepared to pull off his shirt. I look at him and smile. But at that moment, something changes. His skin grows pail, and his face emotionless. His eyes look like dark hollows in his face. His limbs motionless, and his body weightless.

I scream and jump back, realizing that it is not the living anymore. I scream and start to hyperventilate. Sweat pours down me as I sit in shock, staring at the dead body.

And I wake up. I jolt up in my bed, and try to catch my breath.

" Stop haunting me!!" I cry.

My body is sticky with sweat, and my face has streaks from the tears. What a terrible dream... I shriek and run to the bathroom. I vomit. My stomach feels like it is churning. I am dizzy, and my face pale with disgust. Is it because I killed him that he haunts me??

I slowly walk back to my bed and fall down. My body is still covered in sweat, although the temperature is very low. I look up and see that I left my door open. There is a puddle of water in my house from the rain, and wind is blowing papers about in that room.

I walk and glance out at the gloomy sky. The water trickles on my face and I close my eyes. The wind blows and I shiver. It is going to snow.

" Take that Kakarot!!" Vegeta shouts as a snowball hits my head.

" Ha ha, take this!" I yell as a snowball of mine hits him and knocks him over. I threw that too hard...

He lies on the ground and looks up at me smiling. So fun... I sigh.

****

I am so sorry.. Please forgive me..

I go back to my bed and sit down. Everything will be better after the day ends.. It always is... But this year is different. Never had I so many thoughts of him go through my mind.

I sit back on my bed again, but this time, I feel something hard on my leg. I glance down and see the package that Bulma had brought for me earlier. What could it be? I try to tear it open, but it won't budge.

" Damn thing.."

I walk to my kitchen and find a knife. I struggle with the package for several moments, and when I get back to it, it is empty.

" Nani?" I turn and pace around solemnly. Is this some kind of joke? I'm not laughing.

" Hello." I hear Vegeta's voice very faintly.

My head turns immediately to where it came from, but there was nothing there. I step forward, and hear it again.

" Get that thing out of my face!"

I start searching around frantically. Where is he? Am I still sleeping?! Suddenly, I see where it is coming from. A small recorder is lying on the ground. I pick it up and sigh. I listen closely.

" Bulma, please! This is embarrassing! Come on!" I feel like laughing and crying at the same time. Bulma gave me a recording of him. Thank you.. Maybe this will cheer me up.

I look at the recorder for a couple of moments, and find a button. I push it, and within seconds, there is a hologram of Vegeta, pacing around Capsule Corp.

I smile bigger, and feel tears again. He looks young. This is an old recorder. He looks so cute. He turns and smiles. It is as if he is there with me. I hear Bulma's voice.

" Say something Vegeta!"

" What do you want me to say, Woman?!" I laugh as he turns and puts his hands on his hips.

" Say something about your friends. I dunno, I just want you to say something!"

Suddenly Vegeta starts imitating someone. He pulls his shoulders back, and puts his chest out. He marches around.

" Look at how strong I am! Look! Ka me ha me ha!!!" I immediately start laughing. A tear of joy falls on my shirt. It worked. I feel better already.

I turn it off. That is all I need. I will watch more tomorrow.

I watch it everyday. It was almost as if the recorder of him became my new companion. I often found myself trying to get into the conversations he was having. Maybe I am going insane? I need to stop this... this is not going to help me get better...

But I don't stop. Late one afternoon, I found that I had memorized a whole conversation. I would say everything Bulma would back to Vegeta, almost as If we were really having a conversation.

"Yes Vegeta, we do need to buy potatoes for the stew I make tonight." I mimic Bulma.

" I'm not doing it." He grunts.

I smile. Then I stop. What am I doing?

I am lonely....I need someone... anyone to talk to.. I am going to go insane. Or maybe I already am? I have lost my control. I sleep next to the recorder now. It sits at the table with me.... Crazy.. I tell myself.

I am sick... I need help.. I am going to find help...

I walk outside and start down my driveway. Where am I going? I ask myself. It seems like my feet are just carrying me away... Where should I go...? I contemplate.
