Raiko lay on her bed, her head buried in her pillow. She was sobbing, again. She couldn't get over the fact that Vegeta was gone. She couldn't accept it. She refused to accept it. She rolled over onto her back, looking sadly up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes, more tears escaping her lids.

Vegeta sat, invisible, on the edge of the bed. A few tears were traveling down his face as well. He couldn't bear to see Raiko in so much pain. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but he couldn't. He was dead and that was that. He could only wait to be wished back by the Dragonballs. A voice called up the stairs.

"Bye, Raiko! See you in a few!" Megan yelled.

"Bye!" she called back. She got up and sat down in the chair to her computer. The screen turned on. The desktop was the same picture that Raiko was holding earlier. A new wave of tears fell. She folded her arms and put her head on them. Vegeta couldn't resist. He got up and put his arms around her. Her eyes shot open and she sat up, much to the surprise of Vegeta. She turned around.

"Who's there?" she asked. Vegeta was astonished. She could feel him?

"Who's there?! Answer me!" she demanded, standing up in anger. Vegeta opened his mouth to answer, but before he could, he disappeared. Raiko had felt someone touch her, but she couldn't tell what had. She looked around her room again, and then sat back down. She started to cry again. She missed Vegeta so much.

She fell asleep to dream dreams of when she and Vegeta were together.

A couple hours later, Raiko woke up again, realizing that she had forgotten all about her birthday. She got up and went downstairs. She picked up her coat.

"Where are you going?" Piccolo asked, looking up from his book to see Raiko putting on her coat. She looked at him.

"Just outside." She walked out the door. Just as she left, the phone rang. Piccolo jumped up and turned on the screen. Goku and Megan were there.

"He's here," was all they said.
